Li Jun can't speak, it doesn't mean that he is a stupid person.

Thinking of the fact that his grandmother had taken them to play for an afternoon recently, and suddenly stuffed these things into him in the evening, and Qi Shao suddenly called many people to play this game together after seeing the letter, Li Jun suddenly knew what his grandmother thought.

Thinking of this, Li Jun's throat was bitter, and his nose became sore.

He also has a grandmother, but his grandmother has never regarded him as a grandson, and even the New Year's money has never been willing to give him his share.

The only elder who thinks about him like this is his father. But even his father is hiding it, for fear that everyone will know that he is treating him well.

Grandmother's kindness, he can't live up to it!

Li Jun, who wanted to make friends with these people, began to teach them to play the game of "head-catching thieves and civilians". He didn't participate, but took on the role of "judge" like his cousin, presiding over everyone's games.

As a presiding officer, as long as you can be clear and impartial, you don't need to be very eloquent. And in the process of being a judge, it is also easier to see everyone's performance than others.

Only the judge was open-eyed and knew who was the murderer and who was a good person, so soon, he knew who the "smart people" were who could keep their eyes open during the day and never stop setting traps to mislead others.

Li Jun did understand a lot of things in this game.

For example, Qi Shao's actions are not leaky, and he never lets people catch the slightest mistake; For example, Zhao Dan's analysis is extremely sharp, and he can often find out the real culprit as a common person. For example, a certain student is good at playing tricks, constantly making civilians suspicious of each other......

It was really interesting to watch the game play out as an outsider, so much so that the students who played this later saw that he had been standing as the host and was a little uncomfortable, and when they wanted to replace him, he shook his hand and refused.

Now is the time for him to listen and think more.

A few more days passed.

As Gu Qing expected, "head-hunting thieves and civilians" was sought after by many people, and the slogan of "a game played by smart people" that she asked Qi Shao to promote also spread rapidly.

At Li Mao's suggestion, Wu Yuzhou asked the nominal pavilion master of Yunmeng Pavilion, "Liuyun", to ask to see Li Jun with a gift, wanting to buy the "stereotyped rights" of that game. Li Jun naturally couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he had to ask Gu Qing.

Gu Qing knew who this "Liuyun" was, and he also knew that this Cloud Dream Pavilion was his own industry, so he was afraid that he would be hiding people's eyes and ears by acting like this time, so after pretending to think about it, he still readily agreed.

Not only did she agree, but she also entrusted Li Jun to hand over several other games to "Yunmengge".

For a while, Yunmeng Pavilion became a popular place in the capital, and there were even many people who went there to find more prostitutes, not for fun, but for a few people to come when the number of people was insufficient.

Some eloquent people were trained by Wu Yuzhou to be "judges". It is of course much more comfortable for these beautiful women with tactful voices to be the hosts than for the young man to shout "Please close your eyes when it's dark".

And Gu Qing made several games with the color of 181 bans, which made people think about it and couldn't ask for it, adding many suitors to many Qingqi pomegranate skirts.

Wu Yuzhou couldn't close his mouth happily during this time, and the Xinguo Mansion began to flourish again.

Although next month is the palace exam, the palace exam will not be defeated, but according to the ranking to determine everyone's different future. What's more, the Duke of Xinguo not only leads the title of the Duke of Yipinguo, but also the chief officer of the Ministry of War, the Holy Grace Rilong, but the foundation is not deep, everyone knows that he is short of talents, and some of these tributes have had a banquet with Li Jun, and they have the courage to climb friendship, which is understandable.

No matter what kind of intention they had to set foot on the gate of the Xinguo Mansion, Li Mao and Gu Qing asked Li Jun to get along with them, and no one knows what the future of these people will be. Li Mao originally showed people with a "kind personality", but it was suspicious to suddenly put on a stern appearance at this time.

On this day, Zhang Ning Xiumu was at home and asked the people in the family to invite Li Rui. Li Rui greeted several gentlemen and family members, and brought four companions to his uncle's house.

Zhang Ning was also very busy during this time, so busy that he didn't have time to rest.

Although he is not the head of the Ministry of Rites, but the imperial examination is set up for the selection of officials, except for the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua in the palace examination, which are official positions set by the emperor, others still have to take the examination of the Ministry of Officials to take office.

Most of the students who were selected for the imperial examination this year were Guozijian students, and there were always some colleagues or relatives and friends of his family who came around the corner to find a good position for their sons and nephews, which made Zhang Ning annoyed.

When he is in this position, he is in such a position, and he must act cautiously and cautiously. Helplessly, the Jiang family sent someone to spread the news, saying that the family did not want too many poor children to appear in the Beijing officials. If a child of a poor family wants to hold an official position, it is best to be an official and go to a farther place.

But what he meant when he looked at the emperor was precisely because he valued a few people from poor backgrounds in Jinke, and he was going to stay and focus on training.

He was entangled in his heart, and he couldn't sleep and eat for the past few days.

When Li Rui arrived at his uncle's study, he was flipping through some papers, and when he saw Li Rui coming, he didn't greet him, but only asked him to find a place to sit down first. After Zhang Ning finished reading the dossier in his hand, he rubbed his eyes tiredly and said to Li Rui:

"Since you came back from Fenzhou, you haven't been to your uncle's house."

Li Rui was silent for a while, and finally explained the reason.

"When my uncle was in Fenzhou, he wanted to hide the talisman privately and plot against my uncle."

Zhang Ning rubbed his temples for a moment and put down his hand.

"What do you say? Talismans? ”

Li Rui nodded, and told how he rescued the Qiang people from the horse thief's den in Liangzhou, and then how the Qiang people's talisman was taken to the Governor's Mansion by the horse thief for extortion, Zhang Zhi wanted to hide the talisman and delay the rescue time, etc.

He couldn't tell his uncle that his grandfather's letter contained his last words, "Zhangfu is not credible", and he couldn't explain the coldness of this time, so he had to mention the matter of Liangzhou.

It's just that Li Rui recounted the situation at the time, and felt more and more that it was very strange for his uncle to hide the talisman when he didn't know Uncle Lu Dao's letter at that time, so while describing, he looked at his uncle with the rest of his eyes, hoping to see that something was wrong.

But his uncle's face was only solemn.

"Your brother-in-law is the concubine of the family...... Zhang Ning sighed, "Although I was raised in your grandmother's room since I was a child, I was not raised like me and your mother." He is selfish, and some martial artists often have self-righteousness, so later he was reincarnated in the army, and no one in our family objected, after all, there was your grandfather in the army to take care of him, and he would not suffer too much. ”

"I'll write a letter to rebuke him about this, and you don't have to worry about it. In any case, your brother-in-law is always for your good, and he is unwilling to brush you, which shows that he really loves you. ”

Li Rui didn't say that he had already moved the idea of forcing him to die at that time, but just nodded.

"The nephew knows the way."

"I called you here to hear from the attendants in your house that you have come back with many wounds, and what is the matter? Have you been attacked on the road? ”

He had injuries on his body, and the servants who were waiting in the bath knew about it, and his grandmother knew about it. It's not surprising that my uncle can know the way.

But a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"My nephew was on his way to Liangzhou when he met the Assassin. But soon after arriving in Liangzhou, the assassins disappeared. ”

Zhang Ning asked Li Rui in detail about the attack, stroked his beard and said suspiciously: "It doesn't sound like an assassin who was bought with money, but like a dead soldier who has been cultivated since childhood in many big families." ”

"The Clan?"

Zhang Ning nodded. "Even if it's not a family, it's not an ordinary family. It is extremely difficult for a family like yours to cultivate this kind of dead soldier. It's unbelievable that such a dead man would be used on a child who doesn't have a title...... If only the self-killing poison could be brought back and tested. ”

He pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Have you ever had a grudge with any dignitaries?"

Li Rui thought about it, except for being broken by the son of the former minister's secretary, he rarely argued with others. Later, Liu Shangshu made a mistake, the official was demoted by one level, and his uncle took the position of someone else, which was already the biggest revenge on his family.

And then there's at the Festival of Lights......

Hey? Lantern festival?

"I once beat Chu Yingyuan, the son of King Xiangcheng." Li Rui tried hard to recall, "At that time, he was shouting and talking to me, but I only shouted unconvinced when he lost, and I didn't pay attention to it at all." Other than that, I can't think of any other grudges. ”

"King Xiang Cheng won't have such a strong force. His father was sealed in a remote land in Guizhou, and the King of Qiyang rebelled and looked down on this younger brother. Later, he inherited his father's throne as the king of Xiangcheng, and even more scarce even dismissed half of the people in the palace......"

"He doesn't have the capital to support the dead."

"And this person is cautious in nature, and he only does things on weekdays, for fear of doing something wrong, I think if he can go back to the fiefdom now, I'm afraid he will be willing to do anything. Such a person will not embarrass you for the sake of his son. He's afraid of making mistakes. Zhang Ning directly denied the suspicion of King Xiang Cheng, and asked more.

"Who did your aunt contact later? Do you feel sorry for you anymore? ”

Li Rui was shocked. Uncle, what does this mean? Is it to say that his aunt is suspicious?

Li Rui remembered his uncle's explanation and shook his head.

"After the witch incident, my grandmother locked her in the Splendid Courtyard and sealed the second door, and my aunt rarely even went out of the courtyard on weekdays, let alone embarrassed me."

"yes, then it's not her ...... either"

Zhang Ning thought for a while, "When you die, only your cousin can get benefits, and your aunt is a little crazy and did such a thing." But these dead men will definitely not be bought by spending money to buy murderers, this matter is really puzzling......"

Li Rui lowered his head and did not speak.

"By the way, I've already found out the origin of the goddess." Zhang Ning knocked lightly on the table and said in a low voice. "I took your aunt's brother's words, and he said that it was recommended by a Lingtai Lang with five senses in the Qin Heavenly Prison."

Li Rui was shocked.

Lingtai Lang with facial features, could it be ......

"The five-sensed Lingtailang named Xu Gongling returned home for the New Year, and he has not returned to the office until now, and sent someone to report sick leave to the ministry, saying that he suddenly fell ill at home and could not return to Beijing." Zhang Ning saw Li Rui's relieved look, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Rui thought that Zhang Xuan was involved in this matter, and he was startled.

He really didn't want that Dao Leader to be a wicked person with bad intentions.

When he heard that it was another Lingtai Lang with facial features, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, it's just that my nephew also knows another Lingtailang with facial features, so I ......"

"You're talking about Zhang Xuan?"

"It's Zhang Xuan."

Zhang Ning smiled undeniably. "He is the descendant of the righteous faction, how do you think of these Chu witch boys. Fang's younger brother originally wanted to invite this famous Taoist in Beijing, but he didn't know how Lu Dao met Xu Gongling, and Xu Gongling recommended him to this Chu Wu, who was said to be extremely effective. ”

"I have sent someone to his hometown to investigate, and the person I sent to Lu has not yet returned, if there is any result, I will call you again. There are quite doubts behind this matter. In fact, if your aunt is not such a vicious woman, let her go back to her parents' house to ask about the identity and origin of Mama Liu, it will naturally be easy to investigate, but it is a pity that she has bad intentions towards you, and your grandmother has grounded her, and it is impossible for her to ventilate with her mother's family and make trouble for your house. This matter can only be investigated in such a tortuous and roundabout way. ”

Li Rui showed a very sad expression.

"It's my nephew's bad life, don't blame my aunt for disgusting."

"Joke!" Zhang Ning reprimanded.

"You are the grandson of the founding prince Li Shuo, the son of Li Meng, the former political minister of Pingzhang, and the nephew of Li Mao, the current national prince and the secretary of the military department. Zhang Ning couldn't see his dejected appearance, frowned and said: "Good man, you should look forward, you have been created by many people who can't ask for it, don't be distracted by the evil thoughts of the woman in the back house!." ”

"What my uncle taught me was that my nephew said the wrong thing." Li Rui hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"I hope you understand my painstaking efforts. Don't let my hard work go to waste. Zhang Ning sighed.

I always feel that this nephew went out for a trip, and he was a little timid when he came back. Was it scared by the dead soldiers?

And who will put him to death? It stands to reason that Li Rui has nothing worth assassinating others.

Zhang Ning asked about Li Rui's recent life, and when he heard that he was still continuing his studies with the two gentlemen, he couldn't help but nodded.

Qi Yao and Du Jin are the weirdos he finally found, Li Rui has a shallow foundation, and it is right to study hard with them. As for these conspiracies and tricks, the secret arrow hurts people, it shouldn't be something that Li Rui pays too much attention to now, what he should think about is how to enrich himself and let himself have the strength to fight.

The two chatted for a while, and chatted and talked about the "big thieves and civilians" that have become popular recently.

This game is popular among the young people of the capital, but people like them are not touched much. It's okay to have a game like Three Kingdoms Kill, which has checks and balances, strategies and cooperation, but this kind of game that shows off what you have learned with your eyes closed, and steady people like them are disdainful.

But this gameplay is really novel, and it is out of the Confident Guogong Mansion, so he asked curiously.

"This is something my grandmother figured out out of boredom at home. At first, I just played with the girls and the mothers-in-law, and passed the time a little. Later, my cousin and I had an interesting time and learned it. My cousin and the same year got together, and as they came and went, the game spread from our house. ”

"Madame Tai came up with it again? Your grandmother, this old lady, is a strange ...... Wonderful. Zhang Ning originally wanted to say that it was a strange person, but he felt that it was a bit disrespectful to say this, so he had to say that it was a wonderful person.

Mrs. Qiu doesn't go out at home all day long, that is, she doesn't take care of household affairs much, and she doesn't help the house to socialize more with those ladies and nobles, and she sits at home all day long, thinking about how to play.

She made the Three Kingdoms Killing, and she made the Kong Ming Lantern, and this time she made a game of catching thieves......

Thanks to his nephew, he has moved out of the old lady's yard, originally he thought that Old Mrs. Qiu knew the righteousness and would definitely raise Li Rui very well, but now that he thinks about it, he is already fortunate that he has not lost his mind because he was not a plaything raised in Zhiyun Courtyard.

"Speaking of my cousin......" Li Rui hesitated for a moment, but still spoke. My cousin is upright and simple-minded, and if he can, he asks his uncle to find him a more leisurely errand. ”

This is interceding for Li Jun.

Zhang Ning looked at Li Rui in confusion, "You have a good relationship with your cousin?" ”

Li Rui has never begged him for anything about himself.

"It's my cousin, after all." Li Rui didn't answer positively whether it was good or not, "It's all because he blocked the goddess that his aunt found last time, so there was no big disaster in our house." He has a hearty personality, although he is a concubine, he has no snobbery, and his nephew thinks he can help him. It's all the Li family, he lost the election, and the face in our house is not good. ”

"You can't be your uncle and be an iron-faced man!" Zhang Ning was amused by Li Rui's words, "Just look at him as the cousin of Duke Xinguo, and the officials won't make it difficult for him." It's just that where he can go depends on the ranking of the palace examination, if it is the first class, then we can't help but be assigned by the officials. ”

The first class is the champion list.

"If you can win the first class, you will be a nephew and you will not say this, and he will not need a nephew to intercede. It's just my cousin, I'm afraid it's a ...... from the first class," Li Rui laughed. "Uncle said this, nephew should answer you!"

"You boy! Even if he is not a first-class, the chief officials of all the ministries are also staring at the tribute this time, there is really not much I can do! ”

"You are the secretary of the ministry, you don't do much, then others can't do anything!"

"You're actually squeezing your uncle?"

Li Rui stayed in Zhang's Mansion until the evening, had dinner with his aunt and others, and then went home.

When he left Zhang's Mansion, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, and glanced back at the plaque of "Poetry and Rite Training" in front of Zhang's Mansion, and then rode his horse and headed towards the inner city.

I don't know if my uncle can go home, and what my uncle said today, I must talk to him.

In the temple of Zhiyun.

Li Mao has to go to the military department every day to sit on duty, Li Jun was called out by the movers of the same department every three or five o'clock, Li Rui is not at home, Li Ming goes to class every day, and Gu Qing has nothing to do after dealing with the house.

The days of this backhouse are so boring, once the children at home don't come, the idle eggs hurt.

Seeing that she was bored, Mama Hua and Mama Sun kindly found something to do for her, so they asked:

"Old lady, the weather is very good today, why don't you go back to the countryside and grow vegetables?"

Gu Qing is not really Mrs. Qiu, and she has no interest in growing vegetables at all. Since the two little young masters didn't come much, the ducks and vegetables have completely fallen out of favor. Some ducks are so old that they don't even think the soup is hard in the kitchen, and those dishes are taken care of by subordinates.

Speaking of the vegetable field, Gu Qing was a little weak-hearted.

She thought about it, how long had it been since she had been farming?

Uh, four months, or five months?

"Okay, why don't you just go ......"

"Mrs. Tai, Qin Tianjian's facial features Lingtai Lang Zhang Xuanzhang asks to see you." Someone at the door came to report, "Said that they came to learn from you." ”

As soon as this person reported, Gu Qing inexplicably thought about it for a while, and then remembered the strange young Taoist he met during the Shangyuan Festival.

The man roamed the streets in a ghost-like outfit for the New Year, and then said some strange things to her, and asked her to teach her how to make Kong Ming lanterns.

Later, she thought that the other party would come to learn how to make Kong Ming lanterns in a few days at most, because he seemed very interested at the time......

As a result, this Taoist priest never came, but sent her some dust, scriptures and other things every once in a while, which made her inexplicable.

Could it be that the Taoist disciples here want to compete with the disciples of Buddhism for believers?

But she doesn't believe in Buddhism either!

Despite the confusion, Gu Qing still asked people to invite him to the Carved Bow Tower.

There are too many girls in Zhiyun Courtyard, and it is not appropriate to bring an adult Taoist priest into the backyard. The carved bow building is close to the West Garden, and there are windows all around, so it is also convenient to receive foreign visitors there.

The most important thing is that there are all the things that make Kong Ming lanterns in the carved bow building. The last time the Kong Ming lantern in the Shangyuan Festival Mansion was put away after she made it in the Carved Bow Tower.

Let's talk about Zhang Xuan.

After Zhang Xuan met Mrs. Qiu on the Midyear Festival, he was shocked (as if there was something wrong), and he fell into the eagerness and hesitation like his first love every day.

If you have the heart, go and ask immediately, worried that you will be too eager to appear frivolous.

But let's go again after a while, and I'm afraid that the time interval will be too long, and this real person will forget who he is.

Therefore, while maintaining the posture of "I am very calm", he gave his treasured Taoist secret book and teacher transmission instrument to Qiu Lao Taijun every once in a while, and brushed his sense of existence from time to time.

The first is to show one's devout heart to the Tao, and the other is to ......

Hey, hey, hey, how can he take more care of him if he receives such a thing......

finally saw the Xinguo Mansion during this period of time, and Zhang Xuan finally came to the door with a nervous mood to ask to see him.

Sure enough, the auspicious day he was looking for in the morning was right! Today, I was led into the carved bow tower by the family of the Xinguo Mansion.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, he quietly opened his eyes at the door.

When he saw Old Taijun Qiu sitting there, he only felt that the golden light of merit was about to blind his eyes, several times more than last time, so he screamed in shock, covered his eyes and bowed his head.

His shout surprised Gu Qing, and he thought that this Taoist priest had some evil disease!

Just as she was about to call someone to take a look, this Taoist priest named Zhang Xuan knelt down and bowed to her.

"You young man, why do you kneel when you see me, get up quickly, get up quickly......" Gu Qing hurriedly asked someone to pick it up.

"Real ...... The old lady's merits are immeasurable, and the poor way should bow down to all the people who have received your favor. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about...... Why are you standing, hurry up and help the road grow! ”

finally helped Zhang Xuan up, Gu Qing and him were speechless, and no one spoke.

Originally, I didn't know each other, and I didn't have any friendship, what to say!

Gu Qing saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and screamed in his heart.

Holy! What the hell is this man doing at their house?

If it weren't for the fact that he sent so many things, I really wanted to ask someone to send them off!

After a while, Zhang Xuanfang said cautiously:

"Last time, the old lady said that she would teach me ......"

What is the true transmission of Taoism......

"Oh, you're talking about the ...... last time!" She knew that this Taoist priest had come to learn this!

Look at how thoughtful she is, everyone has found it for him!

"Although I know the truth of the Dao, I am dizzy, and I will teach you in person, and my energy is a little weak."

In order to teach Tana, she almost injured herself, what if this is stupid again? Let's find someone to teach!

"I called a master from the house, and he will teach you how to do it." Gu Qing instructed Grandma Sun. "Let Master Yang come over."

Zhang Xuan was shocked. What does this Tianjun mean is that he is not worthy of her personal teaching, so he found another low-status celestial to teach him the Taoist method?

Could it be that this Heavenly Monarch went down to earth and brought other immortal officials?

Zhang Xuan looked at a ...... with excitement

The hunched old man entered the house?

This, this, this...... If today, is it popular to possess the elderly?

"This is Master Yang from the workshop in my house, and his craftsmanship is the most exquisite." Gu Qing introduced to Zhang Xuan with a smile, then turned his head and said to Master Yang: "This Taoist master wants to learn to make Kong Ming lanterns, you teach him how to make this lantern." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the old man stiffly.

Master Yang? Learn to make lights? Isn't it preaching in the name of making lamps?

No...... No......

The Heavenly Monarch must have another deep meaning!
