Gao Lingyan came to the Shen Mansion after leaving the court.

"Lord Wang." Fu Bo couldn't be more familiar with Gao Lingyan and greeted.

"Fubo, is Nian'er there?"

"Yes, Miss is in the courtyard of the eldest young master, and the three of them are there." Fauber said with a smile.

"Thank you." After speaking, Gao Lingyan walked towards Shen Qing's courtyard.

Fu Bo still smiled and looked at Gao Lingyan's figure in the distance, who rumored outside that our prince was ruthless and not close to women, look at how good it is to our young lady, Fu Bo had already regarded Gao Lingyan as his uncle, thinking that maybe Gao Lingyan would stay in the house to eat today, so he went to the kitchen to arrange.

As soon as Gao Lingyan walked to the entrance of Shen Qing's courtyard, he saw Shen Nian lying on the table and sighed.

Gao Lingyan smiled indulgently and called softly: "Nian'er."

Shen Nian seemed to have regained all her strength and straightened her waist, and saw Gao Lingyan walking towards her.

"Ah, Brother Yan." Shen Nian's eyes were shining as he looked at Gao Lingyan.

Gao Lingyan rubbed Shen Nian's head dotingly.

"Why is Ling Yan here?" Shen Qing put away his sword and sat down at the stone table and asked.

Shen Nian poured a cup of tea for Gao Lingyan and put it in front of Gao Lingyan with a happy face.

Gao Lingyan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, well, Nian'er brewed it was delicious.

Then he replied to Shen Qing's words, "The eldest prince was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for life, and the queen was placed under house arrest. ”

Gao Lingyan said slowly. Shen Qing and Shen Feng were very surprised, but Shen Nian didn't care. Anyway, Shangguan Hanao is no longer raised, and he can't be the prince in the first place. It's a pity that Xie Daolan, I don't know whether to marry or not.

"Moreover, it is estimated that tomorrow's literary examination will change the deputy examiner. Today, Master Ban and Master Cai should go to the Holy Lord to speak. Gao Lingyan continued.

Shen Feng touched the folding fan and said, "It won't be inappropriate to change the deputy examiner on the day of the exam." Shen Feng frowned.

"No, our emperor is the most beautiful." Gao Lingyan replied.

Shen Qing and Shen Feng thought about it and nodded yes.

"Wow, the exam is tomorrow." Shen Nian held his chin and looked excited.

Shen Feng gently slapped Shen Nian's head with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "You, it's not you who took the test, what are you excited about?"

"People are excited for you, okay?" Shen Nian stuck out his tongue.

Shen Feng shook his head with a smile.

"Zifeng is full of confidence in tomorrow's exam." Gao Lingyan asked.

"Exactly. No need to think about it, no need to think about it, just let it be. Although Shen Feng said this, his eyes were full of confidence.

"It would be nice if Brother Nanliu could participate in this literary exam." Shen Nian said leisurely.

Gao Lingyan and the others were silent, indeed, Feng Nanliu's knowledge was once praised by Li Laodu.

"However, if Seon loses his horse, don't think about it." Shen Nian said.

"You understand." Shen Feng rubbed Shen Nian's head. Shen Nian shrugged his nose.

"By the way, Brother Yan, are there any seeded players in this competition?" Shen Nian asked.

"Yes, and not a few." Gao Lingyan said. In the past few years, the Eastern Dynasty has been peaceful and peaceful, and the people of the country have been able to produce talented people, because they have the environment to study. This literary and martial arts test can be said to have gathered a lot of masters. The martial arts test is even more of a person in the martial arts, because if the people in the martial arts are not in any big sect, then they will basically accept the recruitment of the imperial court. And the martial arts test is different from the literary test, not necessarily the top few can have a way out, if the martial arts test is very outstanding in some aspects, it will also be recruited by some high-ranking officials as a guard, so participating in the martial arts test is a good choice for people in the martial arts.

"Who are they?" Shen Nian hurriedly asked, after all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"Let's talk about the literary test first, there are a total of three people who are expected to win the championship this time, one is the second brother Shen Feng, and the other two you also know." Gao Lingyan sold a pass.

"Oh?" Shen Nian blinked, "Who." ”

"It's Jun Xun Ting." Gao Lingyan said.

"Training?" Shen Nian remembered that it was the man who was with Lin Junwu at the last flower-viewing meeting. This Jun Xunting family is a military general, his father is a general, the general's family should be a martial artist, but this Jun Xunting is a special case, he has never forgotten since he was a child, he has read poetry and books, he is full of wealth, he is a fairy-like character, and even the four princes are full of praise for him.

Lin Junwu's mother and Jun Xunting's mother have been friends since childhood, the two people who married are also friends, the two children have played together since childhood, Lin Junwu is the son of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Fuliu's younger brother, and his mother is the wife of Lord Lin. This Lin Junwu doesn't like poetry and books, and likes martial arts, so the two children are even more loved by each other's fathers, and in this way, the two families are even closer.

"Indeed, the training court is indeed a talented person." Shen Nian said that when she saw Jun Xunting for the first time, she observed this person's face, which was indeed the face of the face.

"And what about the third?" Shen Nian asked.

"This person is a civilian, and a few days ago, he was found to be talented because he was competing with people in the teahouse."

"Civilians? Is it really a civilian?" Shen Nian looked at Gao Lingyan.

Gao Lingyan chuckled, "His name is Mu Bai." I checked the background, but I couldn't find it. Gao Lingyan took a sip of tea and said.

"You can't even find it." Shen Nian was surprised, even Shen Qing and Shen Feng were surprised, no one knew how big Gao Lingyan's real power was, and now he actually said that he couldn't find it either, it seems that this Mu Bai is not a simple person.

"I'd love to see him." Shen Nian said.

Gao Lingyan was a little surprised, and Shen Qing asked with a gloating face, "Why?"

"Because I only have to look at that person's face to know his background." Shen Nian looked at Shen Feng as if he was looking at a fool.

Shen Feng coughed twice and touched his nose.

Gao Lingyan chuckled, and Shen Qing held back a smile.

"That's right, I forgot about such a baby as Nian'er." Gao Lingyan said with a doting face.

"Slightly." Shen Nian stuck out his tongue.

"What about the martial arts test?" Shen Nian then asked.

"There are a lot of seeded players in the martial arts test. This time, there are many famous figures in the martial arts. Gao Lingyan said.

"What about Big Brother?" Shen Nian tilted his head and asked.

"Your eldest brother's martial arts are taught by masters outside the world, and he has been on the battlefield, and his experience is rarely compared. It is not known who wins and who loses. But the top three are not a problem. Gao Lingyan said objectively.

"Wow, it's worthy of being 'Qingfeng Boy', I don't know how many girls I'm going to seduce by then." Shen Nian was happy when he thought about it, such two people were his brothers.

Gao Lingyan rubbed Shen Nian's head. He really wanted to remind this silly girl that she was very powerful, and make her proud. Hey, the coming day is long, the coming day is long, Gao Lingyan comforted himself.

"By the way, Brother Yan, is Min Min always in your house these days?" Shen Nian said.

Gao Lingyan looked helpless, these days, Feng Nanmin always entangled the black eagle when he saw it empty.

"And what is Black Hawk's reaction?" Shen Nian asked curiously.

Gao Lingyan smiled but said nothing.

The four of them sat at the stone table and talked until sunset.

Just as Fu Bo thought, Gao Lingyan did stay in the Shen Mansion for dinner. But that's for later.

Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lin Mansion

"Junwu." Chen Ge came to the Lin Mansion and saw Lin Junwu greeting him.

Lin Junwu's eyes lit up when he looked at Chen Ge, you must know that Lin Junwu has always wanted to go to the battlefield, but now there is no war, and he has no chance, so he likes those who become generals at the same age as himself. Especially this Chen Ge, his temperament is very good for his own taste, and he likes his sister Lin Fuliu, it can be said that Lin Junwu has always been Chen Ge's pursuit of Lin Fuliu's assist.

Lin Fuliu was born to Lin Shangshu's first wife, originally after the death of his wife, he just wanted to raise Lin Fuliu to grow up happily, and he didn't want to marry again, and there was no concubine in the house. Later, I met Lin Junwu's mother-in-law and saved the other party's life, and the other party promised each other, and this later married wife also treated Lin Fuliu as her own child, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu family has only one wife and two children, so to speak, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu family has always been a good story in the capital.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Lin Junwu asked.

"Isn't this going to be a martial arts test, I'll sharpen your gun for you." Chen Ge said this, but his eyes glanced everywhere.

The corners of Lin Junwu's mouth twitched, "My sister and my mother went out to buy something." Lin Junwu held the sword with a helpless expression.

Chen Ge coughed twice, and he was not embarrassed, he was so old, Lin Shangshu was basically defeated by his cheekiness.

"Ahem, there are a lot of famous people in the rivers and lakes in this martial arts test, so you have to be careful." Chen Ge said with a serious face.

Lin Junwu saw that Chen Ge was so serious, and nodded to indicate that he knew.

"You haven't seen the training court in the past few days, have you?" Chen Ge and Jun Xunting's father are colleagues, but Chen Ge is one or two years older than Xunting and them, and they are all familiar with each other, and they usually call Brother Chen in private.

"yes. This training court also encountered a strong opponent. Lin Junwu put the sword on the table, sat down and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

Ahem, "Well, when will your sister come back?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice.

Lin Junwu looked at Chen Ge with such an expression on his face, "Wait, I have to sunset at the earliest." ”

Chen Ge touched his pointed chin and thought about it, the sunset is in the western mountains, okay. "Then I'll practice with you." Chen Ge said suddenly.

As soon as Lin Junwu drank the water, he heard Chen Ge say this, and instantly choked, "Now?" Surprised.

"That's right. Hurry up. Chen Ge said.

"But ......" Lin Junwu just wanted to say that he had just finished practicing, but before he could say anything, he was pulled up by Chen Ge to train.

Chen Ge thought that he had to do his best, so that he could stay and eat at night, hehe, cough cough, no, I was for Junwu to get good results, yes, yes. That's right.

Lin Junwu complained in his heart, sister, help, come back quickly.

In fact, Chen Ge has been a ruffian since he was a child, if he wears tattered clothes and lives a proper little rascal, he thinks that he will be the gentleman who stays in the flower building in the future, just like the concubines of many families, because he was suppressed by his sister-in-law and mother-in-law, and Chen Ge has no ambitions, so he plays casually every day. If he had told Chen Ge ten years ago that he would fall in love with a woman in the future and put out his heart and lungs to make her smile at himself, Chen Ge would definitely not believe it back then, but fate is so wonderful.

At that time, Chen Ge was already 12 years old, and it was the naughty time, touching birds in the trees everywhere, and playing with fish in the river, and he was already the king of children.

The son-in-law's birthday banquet invited all the sons and daughters of various families, and he was not allowed to participate in the concubine, so he ran out early to play, and he would have climbed the wall at the age of 12. He went out to play that day, and came back before the banquet was over, saving him from trouble.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I climbed to the top of the wall, before I could jump down, I heard someone talking at the bottom of the wall. Chen Ge immediately leaned on the wall and didn't speak, listening to the people below.

Chen Ge listened to it for a long time before he understood that it was a man and a woman.

The man is the son-in-law of the Chen family, Chen Xin, the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, and he didn't know the woman at the time, but later he learned that it was Lin Fuliu when he was a child.

"Sister Liu, marry me when you grow up, I like you so much." Chen Xin said.

"Really? But it's not good. My mother doesn't allow me to make a private agreement with someone for life. Lin Fuliu seemed a little scared.

"It's okay, we've been playing since we were young, you still don't believe me." Chen Xin wanted to grab Lin Fuliu's hand.

Lin Fuliu pretended to avoid it inadvertently, "Okay, tomorrow, you will wait for me under the big locust tree in the west of our house." Lin Fuliu lowered his head and said, seemingly shy, and then ran away after speaking.

Chen Xin happily lowered his voice and shouted, "Don't worry, I will definitely go." Then leave happily.

Chen Ge rolled his eyes, his eldest brother still knew it, so he liked to hook up with little girls, and then turned into bed and didn't admit it. Which lady is it this time?

Chen Ge didn't take it seriously, he jumped down from the wall and walked to his yard when he saw that the two of them were far away, and on the way he passed by the place where the ladies were chatting, he heard a voice talking, Chen Ge has always been able to remember the voice, knowing that it was the person who was talking to Chen Xin just now, Chen Ge looked up to see which unlucky ghost it was, and was amazed when he raised his eyes, Lin Fuliu at that time was wearing a blue dress, his skin was fair and delicate, it was really like a weak willow Fufeng, it was really beautiful, it was said that Chen Xin didn't go out to Hualou recently, Emotionally hooked up with such a beauty, Chen Ge didn't feel anything, and he didn't feel unfair for this beauty, anyway, it was none of his business. But before leaving, he looked back at Lin Fuliu, and saw a wicked smile on the corner of Lin Fuliu's mouth, but he soon disappeared, and he was still a gentle young lady of the family. Chen Ge was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and left.

When the second day was approaching, Chen Ge wanted to see if Chen Xin and that Lin Fuliu were really having a tryst, and then he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply went out.

Coming to the big locust tree that Lin Fuliu said, Chen Ge hid in the shadows not far away, and sure enough, there was a person standing under the big locust tree, and the moonlight was shining under the big locust tree, and the person's face was clearly illuminated, it was Chen Xin.

But that Lin Fuliu hasn't come yet, Chen Ge thought, isn't that Lin Fuliu no-show, so can't you please Chen Xin. Chen Ge shook his head, after a while Lin Fuliu still didn't come, Chen Ge thought that Lin Fuliu was a no-show, just wanted to leave, at this time there was a dark cloud covering the moon, and the surroundings were dark, Chen Ge just wanted to go, he saw something moving on the big locust tree, and after a closer look, there was a person on it who seemed to be hanging something down, and then he saw a white fluttering thing being put behind Chen Xin, Chen Xin felt itchy, he saw this, and screamed in fright, and then he didn't know what was wrong, Chen Ge was far away, and he couldn't hear clearly, I only saw Chen Xin kneeling on the ground and kowtowing vigorously, and then when Chen Xin kowtowed, the dark clouds moved, the moon was revealed, and the white thing was also taken advantage of by the people on the tree.

Chen Xin saw that there was nothing left, so he got up and ran back to Chen's house.

After a while, Chen Ge saw a woman jumping down from the tree, it was Lin Fuliu, and he saw Lin Fuliu holding something like a fish hook in his hand, and a white thing like a sheet, it seemed that he was using this to scare Chen Xin, Chen Ge saw Lin Fuliu laughing there, not at all like the polite and decent lady of the family during the day, Chen Ge instantly had different feelings for this Lin Fuliu, but what, Chen Ge didn't know, and he didn't care at that time. Then I went home, I only felt that Lin Fuliu was powerful, not like an ordinary official woman. After that, Chen Xin took care of himself for half a year, and then went to Hualou again, and when he saw Lin Fuliu, he took a detour, Lin Fuliu was very strange, but Chen Xin saw her as if he saw a ghost, and turned around and left. Lin Fuliu stood strangely in place, and the other ladies all came to comfort him, and they all had a bad impression of that Chen Xin. Only Chen Ge knew that this was just Lin Fuliu's strategy.

A year later, it was very popular to go to the temple to pray for blessings during that time. Chen Ge's mother is a concubine, and she usually stays in the room honestly and doesn't go out, so her mother doesn't say anything. Chen Ge also goes out to play every day, he doesn't learn and has no skills, and his mother-in-law is even more beginning, in order to show her generosity, she always gives Chen Ge money, it can be said that Chen Ge's childhood is really much better than Chen Xin, who always reads in the study.

Chen Ge was also too bored that time, so he went to the temple to see why the temple incense was so good.

saw a drama of heroes saving beauty, he knew and seen the one who saved people, it was Lin Fuliu's father, although he was a civil official, but he also knew martial arts. The rescued woman looked virtuous and beautiful. Chen Ge had already seen Lin Fuliu, and saw Lin Fuliu kneeling in front of the Buddha and praying with his eyes closed, other ladies from other families were accompanied by their mothers, and no matter how bad they were, there were also grandmothers and maids, but this Lin Fuliu was alone, looking at Lin Fuliu's pious appearance, Chen Ge didn't know why he was a little distressed.

Then unconsciously followed Lin Fuliu to other places. He saw Lin Fuliu talking to the rescued woman, and at that time, a few hooligans suddenly came, the woman was obviously very weak, but she also pushed Lin Fuliu back to protect Lin Fuliu, just when the hooligans wanted to succeed, Chen Ge saw Lin Fuliu's evil smile again, yes, he was not mistaken, because Lin Fuliu was blocked, so others couldn't see it, just Chen Ge could see it from this angle.

At this time, Lin Fuliu's father appeared, ran away from the hooligans and saved the woman, Chen Ge saw that the woman knew that she was attracted to Lin Shangshu. Lin Shangshu also had a good impression of him because the other party still chose to protect a little girl he didn't know at this moment, and this little girl was still his baby daughter.

Later, Chen Ge saw that Lin Fuliu gave money to those hooligans, and those few were not hooligans, but villagers from nearby villages. Later, Chen Ge knew that Lin Shangshu had married his wife. Madame was the woman who had been saved. That woman was also very good to Lin Fuliu.

Chen Ge knew that Lin Shangshu's daughter-in-law was found for him by Lin Fuliu, that is to say, Lin Fuliu found a mother for himself, Chen Ge always remembered this in his heart, wasn't he afraid that his stepmother would not treat him well, why did Lin Fuliu still find a mother for himself, but he didn't ask, because Lin Fuliu didn't know him at all.

That's when I really got to know.
