When everyone returned to the mansion, Shen Feng still looked at Shen Nian with a "want to say and stop". Shen Nian deliberately didn't see it, and followed Shen Qing into the house, Meizu Lan and Mei Ochre followed Shen Nian into the Shen Mansion, Bai Li followed behind Mei Ochre, and Mu Chen and Chu Yan also entered the Shen Mansion, so that no one paid attention to Shen Feng's "resentment".

Shen Feng sighed faintly and floated in like a ghost.

Gao Lingyan still had something to deal with, so he went back to the prince's mansion directly.

Shen Yang and Shen Xing didn't have much feeling about this literary test and martial arts test, except for the literary test that Shen Feng was going to take at the beginning, he was the first person in several generations to take the literary test, so everyone paid attention to it, but now that the exam is over, and he has taken the first place, no matter how he thinks about it, he thinks that Shen Feng deserves to be the first, and everyone has nothing to say.

As for Shen Qing, it was the martial arts that the Shen family found to be taught by a master from outside the world, and Shen Yang and the others knew it in their hearts. As a result, in such a huge exam, the Shen family said that they were very calm.

After eating later, Shen Xing called Shen Feng to the study, planning to talk to Shen Feng about some matters to be paid attention to in the court, Shen Qing had already begun to take charge of the Shen family's power very early, so now all he had to do was to open the ancestral hall, and Shen Xing would hand over the tokens belonging to the head of the Shen family to Shen Qing.

Now that everything has ended, Shen Xing just said at the dinner table that he would find a good day and an auspicious day to carry out the handover meeting of the head of the family, the Shen family is the head of the four major families of the Eastern Dynasty, and even in a pivotal position in the entire mainland, the Shen family does not feel anything, but this is a big event for some people and even the family, so when the time comes, the handover meeting of the head of the Shen family will still be held well, and the people invited are also very particular. In fact, if you follow the meaning of the Shen family, you can just have a meal with casual insiders.

Of course, this matter of looking for a good day still has to be found by Shen Qing, and Shen Qing has a look on his face, "I know this."

Shen Nian came to Bai Li's courtyard, arranged accommodation at that time, and let Bai Li live next door to Shen Nian.

"Apprentice." Shen Nian sat on a stone bench in Bai Li's courtyard, and each courtyard of the Shen family had a stone table and four stone benches.

Bai Li heard Shen Nian call himself, put away the sword in his hand, and also sat down at the stone table, and Mei Ochre poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Bai Li took the tea handed to him by Charm Ochre, and smiled dumbly, Charm Ochre did not react, and Charm Blue frowned slightly. Shen Nian didn't pay much attention to the interaction between the three of them.

Then Bai Li looked at Shen Nian, "What's the matter, master?" ”

Shen Nian turned the teacup around, "Apprentice, haven't you told the master where your family lives?" "There is also the martial arts that Bai Li said is self-taught, and what he learned is the martial arts cheats given by his mother. But she didn't say the latter sentence, let Bai Li say it slowly.

Bai Li took a sip of tea and put the teacup down, "Also, I haven't talked about it properly." Actually, my home is not far from here, in Kuncheng. I'm just a mother, I don't have a father, my mother said that I accidentally died in an accident when I was just born. As for martial arts, my mother said that it was left by my father, let me practice it, and my mother will call me a little bit if I really can't, and my mother will also do martial arts, but it is rare to see her perform. My mother knows a little bit of deduction, and before coming to the capital, she calculated that I could find a master here and earn some money to go home. My mother said that she had been lazy to go out to earn money recently. ”

Shen Nian was speechless after hearing this, and he was too lazy to go out to earn money, so he asked his son to come out to participate in the martial arts test. However, knowing that Bai Li's mother can also deduce the technique, and it sounds like the kind that really has skills, Shen Nian really wants to see Bai Li's mother.

"It's just right, after the handover meeting of the eldest brother's head of the family is over in a few days, let's go out." Shen Nian turned the teacup and groaned slightly.

"Get out? Where to? Bai Li looked up at Shen Nian strangely. I have also lived in the Shen family for a while, and I also know that Shen Nian has been out for ten years to apprentice, and he only came back this year. So I didn't expect Shen Nian to go out again.

Shen Nian nodded, "Go find someone, and then let you go home and have a look." Shen Nian said with a smile.

Bai Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really, that's great, my mother will be very happy to see the master, my mother likes good-looking people the most." ”

Shen Nian: "......"

Ochre and Blue: "......"

I'm really curious about what kind of person Bai Li's mother is.

"Nian'er, you're here." A voice rang out.

Shen Nian looked at the person who came, his eyes smiled, and he bent into a crescent moon, "Second brother." ”

Shen Feng came over and sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "I just went to your yard to see that no one came here, but I didn't expect you to be here." Shen Feng took a sip of tea, and then let out a long breath, feeling relaxed.

"What's the matter, second brother, what is Daddy talking to you?" Shen Nian looked at Shen Feng's expression on his face and was curious.

Shen Feng shook his head with a "heartbroken" face, and then said, "Don't say it, this is the first time I know that my father can say it like that." Originally, Shen Xing asked Shen Feng to enter the study at the beginning, wanting to talk about the relationship between officials in the court, but it turned out that this was also because the Shen family had produced such a civil official for several generations, and Shen Xing didn't know what to say, but he felt that this son was an official for the first time in the court, and if his father, who was a general, said that he would not be helpful at all, it seemed that his father would not care about his son, and the result was nonsense. Shen Feng, who was talking, sat there calmly drinking tea from the beginning, and was ready to listen to the teachings of his general father with a confident face, and at the end he was speechless and had to maintain the expression of "what my father said was very teachable to me", Shen Feng said that he wanted to resign.

Shen Nian sneered when he heard this, "Dad didn't care much about the affairs of the court. What's more, he is still a military attaché. ”

As soon as Shen Feng thought back to the picture just now, he faintly felt that his head hurt.

"Okay, second brother, Dad also takes care of you." Shen Nian stood up and rubbed Shen Feng's shoulder, allowing Shen Feng to relax. Shen Feng said that it was very useful.

"By the way, Nian'er, I just heard you say that you will go out after the ceremony of the eldest brother's succession to the head of the family?" Shen Feng asked suddenly.

"yes. Go out and do something. Shen Nian said while seriously helping Shen Feng rub his shoulder.

Shen Feng took Shen Nian's hand so that Shen Nian could face to face with him, "Nian'er, no matter what you do, remember that you are not alone, you have the backing, the Shen family, and us." The seriousness in Shen Feng's eyes made Shen Nian's eyes move, and Shen Nian's alluring little face smiled, "That's for sure." ”

"It's so late, the second brother goes back to sleep, and tomorrow I will go to the eldest brother and ask when the head of the family ceremony is." Shen Nian stretched and said.

Shen Feng rubbed Shen Nian's head, "You little pig, go to bed early." Then I'll go first. ”

"Well, second brother bye." After Shen Feng left, Shen Nian asked Bai Li to go to bed early and then returned to his yard himself.

Shen Nian returned to his courtyard with a moving expression. Entered the house.

The charm ochre lit the lamp.

"The valley master." Indigo was half-kneeling on the ground.

"How's it going?" Shen Nian asked. Mei Indigo is the person who Shen Nian asked to go to Qin Qingfeng's house to investigate.

Mei Indigo lowered her head, "The subordinates deserve to die, and when the subordinates go down, they are already a step too late, and nothing is found." ”

Shen Nian looked at the flute in his hand and shook his head, "It's okay, let's go down." ”

"Yes." Mei Indigo said respectfully. Then stealth in the shadows.

"Valley master, there is something unknown to my subordinates." Mei Lan arched her hand and bent down respectfully to ask Shen Nian.

"Oh? Do you want to ask that Qin Qinghai is no longer valuable, so why do you have to go to the heavily guarded prison to kill him? Shen Nian didn't look at the blue eye, just looked at the flute in his hand and touched it slowly.

"The valley lord is wise."

"Yes, unless ......" Unless there is something that even Qin Qinghai doesn't know, he has something that can threaten or reveal the identity of the other party.

But what is it......

"No hurry, no hurry." Shen Nian said slowly.

Meizu Lan and Meizu Ochre went down and closed the door. Meizu Blue sweated slightly. The valley lord will only reveal the power of the superior in front of his subordinates. Even if the power of his own valley lord is not actively revealed, it is enough to make people's hearts beat and be willing to surrender, just like the valley lord found himself many years ago.

Shen Nian didn't care what Meilan was thinking, he just sorted out the recent events one by one. This time the literary examination was unexpected, except for the previous Shangguan Hanao who wanted to bribe the examiner, nothing else happened. Shen Nian closed his eyes slightly, hiding the indifference and murderous aura in his eyes.

Someone bribed the official of the ranking, that is, Qin Qinghai, as long as he is familiar with each player, it is not difficult to guess the final finalists, and then someone inserts a large number of people into it to ensure that their own people can finally enter the finals. The purpose is Shen Qing.

If the other party really succeeds this time, who will benefit? The benefits can be so obvious, the other party will not be so stupid. Then, Shen Nian suddenly opened his eyes. If the other party is attacked like the other target, but the target is dead and seriously injured, who will notice? Shen Nian remembered the information records of several important players that Gao Lingyan gave her a few days ago.

Concubine Xi is the younger sister of the current head of the Wang family, and there is no one named Wang Yuming among the children of the head of the Wang family, but there is an illegitimate child. Oh, the bastard who suddenly appeared was so powerful that he won the third place in the martial arts test. Shen Nian thought back to Wang Yuming's martial arts path, and he really couldn't see what he was taught by, but he was indeed a master.

"Indigo." Shen Nian instructed: "Go to Wang's house and keep an eye on Wang Yuming." ”

"Yes." A resolute and muffled voice left ripples in the air.

Day 2

Shen Nian still got up early to practice, and after practicing, Bai Li just came to find himself to have breakfast.

Shen Nian put away the flute and went to the restaurant.

There were only Shen Qing, Mu Bai and Chu Yan at the table. Shen Xing and Shen Feng went to the morning court very early, and they came back for breakfast. And Shen Xing and Mei Shang don't mix with children, so just a few of them have breakfast.

"Big brother, have you decided when to hold the succession meeting of the head of the family?" Shen Nian pinched a bun and asked.

The Shen family's family style is not food, sleep, or speech, to be precise, the current atmosphere is not very strict, and it is still very free.

Shen Qing put down his chopsticks and filled Shen Nian with another bowl of millet porridge, and replied at the same time: "Well, half a month later, it just so happens that the recent matter has been handled similarly." Shen Qing put the millet porridge in front of Shen Nian and motioned for Shen Nian to eat more.

Shen Nian swallowed the small bun in his hand, then took a sip of millet porridge, and then nodded, "It's the same." This half a month is also used to prepare for various things, and it seems that half a month is a bit rushed, big brother, if there is anything you need help, tell me directly, I will help you. ”

Shen Qing shook his head, "Actually, I have already put this matter into the plan before, and the preparation is almost the same." ”

Shen Nian nodded secretly in his heart, the eldest brother's way of handling things is indeed very planned, and it is really a good choice for the Shen family to be handed over to Shen Qing.

"Big brother is amazing." Shen Nian smiled at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing shook his head with a smile, "You, have been going out to have fun recently, relax and relax." I haven't had a good time going out yet. ”

"Okay. I'm going to hang out with Mu Bai and them today. ”

Shen Qing knew that these were all martial arts masters, but he still said, "Pay attention to safety." ”

"Got it." Shen Nian stuck out his tongue.
