"So how do I participate?"

Regarding Liansheng's question, Ji Le looked like an old god: "It's no problem, the Four Arts Conference is organized by the Hanlin Academy, and it's not difficult to add one more contestant, right, Brother Zhao." ”

"It's not that difficult, and when the time comes, Miss Liansheng will participate as my father's distant niece." Zhao Xuwen also readily agreed.

But Mrs. Zhao's heart is roaring, I don't want her to be my distant niece, I want her to be my daughter-in-law, you stupid son!

However, it is obvious that Zhao Xuwen's voice cannot be received.

When the dust of all the things was discussed, the first person to speak was Mrs. Zhao: "Miss Liansheng, you should be tired from traveling for so long, or you should stay in our Hanlin Academy." ”

Now Taifu Zhao only has Liansheng in his eyes, completely ignoring the existence of Mo Rebellion.

"Don't don't, Mrs. Zhao, don't rob me of people, I'm going to let the two benedicts come to me to rest." Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Ji Le hurriedly spoke.

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, looked at Ji Le and said, "Ji Lexian's nephew, Miss Liansheng is kind to me, how can I let her go to you?" ”

"But she's kind to me too." Ji Le is also not to be outdone.

Zhao Xuwen looked at his unusually father, and also knew what Mrs. Zhao was thinking, and then said: "Dad, Brother Ji, it's not a way for you to not give in to each other like this, it's better to let Miss Liansheng and Mo Shun choose by themselves." ”

Zhao Xuwen's words made Ji Le and Mrs. Zhao all turn their attention to Liansheng and Mo Wei.

However, it was Mo Wei who spoke: "Let's go to Ji Le's residence to rest." ”

Mo Wei felt that although Ji Le was noisy, he couldn't see the urgency of Mrs. Zhao to tie Zhao Xuwen and Lian Sheng together.

"Great!" Hearing that Mo had chosen himself, Ji Le seemed to have gained some supreme glory, and he was very happy.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhao was in a low mood and a little confused, but she still looked at Lian Sheng with a glimmer of hope.

"I've been very tired of the two of you today, Liansheng doesn't dare to continue to bother, and we'll come back to visit in two days."

Lian Sheng's words made Mrs. Zhao sigh lightly, and she no longer insisted.

"Let's go with the two benevolent fathers, it's not too far from the place below." Seeing that Mrs. Zhao no longer insisted, Ji Le hurriedly beckoned Liansheng and Mo Wei to leave.

Mrs. Zhao became angry when she looked at Ji Le's appearance, waved her hand and entered the inner room without responding.

Everyone said goodbye to Zhao Xuwen, and Ji Le walked out of the Hanlin Academy with Liansheng and Mo Yi.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Ji Le raised his eyebrows at Mo Yi beside him, and said in an inviting tone: "I did a good job!" ”

What is rare is that Mo Reverse did not damage Ji Le, but it was just a flat tone: "Not bad." ”

But Ji Le didn't care about Mo Rebellious's tone, but walked in front with a small song in his mouth.

Ji Le's residence is really not far from Hanlin Temple, and the time for a stick of incense has arrived.

Lian Sheng and Mo Wei looked at the mansion in front of them, which was even more magnificent than the Hanlin Academy, and were a little surprised.

There is a black plaque hanging on the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the inscription "Jifu" is written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing. There are also two stone lions and two guards standing on either side of the gate.

"This is a reward from the emperor, as a reward for my father's life." Speaking of which, loneliness appeared for the first time in Ji Le's always bright eyes, but he soon returned to the appearance of a hippie smile: "Let's go, don't look outside, it's more magnificent inside!" ”

Seeing that Ji Le's mood was a little up and down, Lian Sheng and Mo Wei didn't say much, but just silently followed Ji Le in. However, when the two followed Ji Le past the two guards, the two guards did not salute Ji Le, and still stood there straight, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain in their eyes.

The three of them entered the mansion and it was indeed more magnificent,

A row of houses of luxurious workmanship, and then in the center of the house and the gate is a wide open space, which is lined with knives, guns, clubs, large and small stone locks, and stone piers. I think it should be a place for people to practice on weekdays.

But it looks like no one has used it for a long time, because although there are traces of cleaning, it is obvious that there are no scratches, and it is still new.

At this time, it was noon, and there were a few servants in the house who were in charge of cleaning, but when they saw Ji Le, they didn't react, and they still did their own thing, treating Ji Le as a transparent person.

Seeing this, Liansheng and Mo Wei also found something wrong, but Ji Le didn't seem to notice it, and still excitedly introduced Lian Sheng and Mo Wei.

Just as Lian Sheng was about to speak, an old voice rang out.

"Young Master, I'm back with my friends."

The person who came was an old man in his fifties, unlike the other subordinates who ignored Ji Le, this old man's words were full of love for Ji Le.

"Yes, Steward Zhang, these two are my benevolent fathers, they first came to the Forbidden Imperial City, and I brought them to the mansion to rest."

"Okay, okay, young master, you can bring more friends back."

After listening to Steward Zhang's words, Ji Le shook his head: "No, Steward Zhang, I don't want to cause trouble for everyone." ”

"Oh, where is the eldest young master, how can you cause us trouble, you bring your friends back, it's too late for the old slave to be happy."

But obviously Ji Le didn't want to discuss more on this matter, so he casually diverted the topic with a haha.

"Steward Zhang, please clean up the two clean rooms, I'll take them around first."

"Okay, young master."

With the footsteps of Steward Zhang's departure, Ji Le sighed inexplicably.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the garden in the backyard, where the scenery is better." After speaking, he didn't care whether Lian Sheng and Mo Wei were willing or not, and walked straight to the back. Lian Sheng and Mo Wei glanced at each other, and then followed.

Following Ji Le through the house, the scenery changed at once, and there was a large pond behind it, surrounded by trees, like a small grove. The midday sun casts a golden glow on the pond, the breeze rustles through the leaves, and the eyes are closed and the cicadas are chirping, and you can't help but forget all your worries.

It can be seen that Ji Le, who came to the backyard, is also very relaxed. The three of them just quietly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere.

……

"My father is a very powerful general, he has great achievements, never defeated, deeply loved by the people, and the emperor personally gave the name "Iron Cavalry General, this is the supreme glory". Ji Le, who was talking about these past events, was very steady, and changed his previous hippie smiling face.

"The entire Ji family has been supported by my father alone, if the Hanlin Academy is the emperor's pen, then the Ji family is the emperor's sword!" Speaking of this, Ji Le's face was full of pride.

Hearing this, Liansheng always felt a little familiar, as if he had heard these words somewhere before.

"My father is loyal and honest, and he has not married a wife since my mother's death, so I am the only male in my generation, and I have no other brothers and sisters." Ji Le's face flickered, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

"Everyone thinks that I will learn a good martial arts like my father to serve the court, even I think so, but God does not fulfill people's wishes."

Speaking of this, Ji Le smiled self-deprecatingly: "When I was six years old, the master who taught me martial arts and my father said that I was not the material for practicing martial arts, because I was a waste dantian, and no matter how much I practiced, it was useless." ”

After Ji Le finished speaking, he looked at Lian Sheng and Mo Yi, and his expression was a little envious: "I can feel that you are not ordinary people, to be honest, I envy you, I envy you for your strong martial arts, and you can be chivalrous and righteous to help others." ”

Feeling the sincerity in Ji Le's words, Lian Sheng and Mo Wei didn't know how to comfort them for a while.

However, Ji Le continued: "When my father learned that I couldn't practice martial arts, he didn't count me down, but encouraged me all the time. But others don't think so, there is always a lot of gossip outside, wanting my father to marry again, another boy to come out, don't waste time on me, a waste. ”

At this time, Liansheng and Mo Wei were two loyal spectators, listening to Ji Le express the emotions that had been suppressed for many years.

"However, at that time, my father was reluctant to marry again, and in the end the matter was settled, but it seems that from that time on, I began to be unpopular, as you see today." Ji Le was still laughing when he said this, but there was a lot of bitterness in this smile.

Regarding Ji Le's past, Lian Sheng could only comfort lightly: "The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, you don't have to care too much, just be yourself." ”

"So I'm smiling at those cold eyes every day, I'm used to it." After speaking, Ji Le showed a big smile to Liansheng.

Seeing that Ji Le could still smile at this time, Lian Sheng looked at the man in front of him again.

"And what about your father?" Mo Ying, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

"A year ago, my father was sent by the emperor to suppress a riot in a small town, but since then there has been no news, no matter how much I ask to see the emperor, the emperor will avoid it, many people say that my father is dead, but I don't believe it, my father will come back one day."

Listening to Ji Le's words, Lian Sheng suddenly remembered that when he was buying a horse in Yanyang before, he happened to hear some things about Forget Worry Town, which happened to say that the emperor had sent an iron cavalry general to suppress the rumors of Forget Worry Town, but in the end he lost contact. I don't know if the rumored Iron Cavalry General is Ji Le's father.

So Lian Sheng told Ji Le everything he had heard, and he didn't hear the villagers say that there was a sacrificed iron cavalry general in Forget Worry Town.

Ji Le, who heard the news, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little trembling: "Engong, this is true!" ”

"That's true."
