For the drum guards who are responsible for maintaining the order of the drum platform where the Dengwen drum is located on weekdays, whether it is a civil and military official, or a relative of the emperor, it is common, but it is only the kind that can be seen from afar, so they asked for leave to go to the eldest princess's mansion to meet Yue Qianqiu, who was about to fall to the ground, and even brought Yan Xu, the son of the eldest princess, and they were immediately flattered.

Everyone knows that this maverick noble son went out before, and now he has just come back and is happy with his son, not at home with his mother, wife and children, but he came to see them, and he wants to invite them to dinner, which simply gives them a lot of face!

Yan Xu invited guests, which was naturally not just talking, he proudly chartered all the countertops on the second floor of a restaurant, and generously ordered good wine and good food to be served. Dozens of sergeants sat in, and they were a little nervous at first, but when they saw this Yan Gongzi directly stepping on the stool, with his sleeves pulled up and talking about the market, everyone remembered that this was not only the son of the eldest princess, but also the head of the Xuandao Hall.

At this moment, the originally somewhat restrained atmosphere suddenly disappeared, replaced by a noisy and noisy atmosphere. But even so, not everyone dares to come to Yan Xu to toast and make a familiar face. And Yue Qianqiu saw that Yan Xu was talking and laughing freely, drinking like drinking water, but somehow, he only felt that in the laughter of the master, it was not only the joy of having a son again, but also something else hidden.

In less than an hour, most of the sergeants were drunk and staggered, and Yan Xu, who was also full of alcohol, took the hot towel sent by the guy and wiped his head and face, and then smiled at Yue Qianqiu, who yawned beside him: "Let's go, settle the bill, I'll send you home first." ”

For the same thing, Yue Qianqiu had to be awkward in the face of Zhou Jiyue, but once Yan Xu said it, Yue Qianqiu would not be polite. After the two went out, the shopkeeper who had already prepared personally led the horse and sent it out, and said a basket of kind words, Yan Xu casually perfunctory two sentences, and waited until he gently flicked the horsewhip and trotted out of the mount, and he saw Yue Qianqiu following side by side, he laughed.

"My mother is almost tired and sick, Shi Qi just gave birth to a child, but I didn't care about running out and messing around all night, do you think the master is really messing around?"

Yue Qianqiu felt that Yan Xu was really a little abnormal today, but when he heard such a rhetorical question, he immediately sobered up, and hurriedly coughed dryly: "Master, isn't this just to make me a good person?" The eldest princess and the master are the most reasonable people, and they won't blame you. ”

"Yes, although my mother has always hated iron and steel, but as long as my prodigal son turns back and is willing to go home, she will immediately forget my previous unfilial piety, except for today, she finally said her sadness and disappointment, in the past few years, she didn't say a word about me at all. Not to mention Shiqi, although she has a hot temper, as long as I want to do something, she has never held me back. Whether it was when I went to Beiyan before, or this time I left her pregnant and ran out suddenly......"

Speaking of this, Yan Xu suddenly looked up to the sky and looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky, and laughed again. But to Yue Qianqiu, who was familiar with him, the laughter was dry and astringent, which was even worse than crying.

"Speaking of which, I am your master, but when you were seven years old, you were more knowledgeable than me in my thirties, if my mother hadn't given birth to such an unfilial son as me, but replaced you as her son, it shouldn't have been as hard work as now. If only ten ......"

Yue Qianqiu didn't dare to let Yan Xu continue to talk about it, if he was the son of the eldest princess of Dongyang, he could still talk about it, and if he was the husband of Su Shiqi...... This kind of thing should never be said! Otherwise, if Ming'er Yan Xu figured out that something was wrong, it would not be a matter of turning his face and not recognizing people, and he might drink some messy flying vinegar!

He hurriedly interrupted Yan Xu's words with a heavy dry cough, and then said seriously: "Master, you can't think too highly of yourself as a man, but you can't be arrogant either. You've been a good son since you took me as an apprentice seven years ago, and then the prodigal son came home. As for being a husband, you go and ask the master yourself, maybe she will find a lot of faults for you, but you can ask her if she will do it if she changes someone? ”

Yue Qianqiu said while avoiding involving himself, seeing that Yan Xu was still deaf and looking up at the starry sky like a middle school second teenager, he didn't know if he listened to Yan Xu's words, or didn't listen to it, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

But he said everything he could, and if he persuaded other words, it was likely to be counterproductive, so he simply shut his mouth and waited for the master to get out of the horns himself. I don't know how long it took, he saw Yan Xu hang his head, and then glanced at him a few times: "Qianqiu, in terms of enlightening people, your kung fu is the strongest among the people I have ever seen." But I don't need your comfort today, because I've already made up my mind. ”

Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but feel numb in the scalp. He is accustomed to Yan Xu thinking that once he comes out, he will show that virtue, and what he is most worried about at this time is that the master will come up with something terrible when he pats his head. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard something that stunned him.

"When A-Ning is rescued this time, I will pass on the position of the head of the Xuandao Hall to you."

Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, almost biting his tongue.

You must know that in order to revitalize the Xuandao Hall back then, Yan Xu let go of a good noble son's life, but the whole Luotuo appearance deceived his apprentices outside, and when he later overthrew Wu Renyuan and Gao Ze in one go, Yan Xu's ecstatic appearance was no less than that of marrying a wife and having children later. Besides, Yan Xu is still young, how could he suddenly have such a strange idea?

"Master......"

Yue Qianqiu shouted, Yan Xu waved his hand directly, and said with a sigh: "Since I was a child, I have studied martial arts with my master, and the kind of martial arts life I have longed for is actually not a real thing, it is the most beautiful scene that the master told me. And I took over the head given to me by the master and wanted to revitalize the Xuandao Hall, which is indeed true, but what I enjoy more is the process, not the result. ”

"Do your own calculations, how many things should I have done at other times when I, the nominal head, except for receiving the heads of various factions last year? I'm not as interested in Xuandaotang as an apprentice of yours, am I? Moreover, I have recognized a few named disciples, have I passed on their martial arts for a day? It's all yours to teach. Even Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Dai are generals, and he has taught a few more apprentices than me! ”

Hearing this, Yue Qianqiu was slightly stunned, and after pondering it, he felt that it was true. However, he himself is only a little better than Yan Xu at most, and he is also the shopkeeper. But before he could speak, Yan Xu dropped another bombshell.

"I'm going to ask the emperor for an official! The son of a princess can't be a serious official, this dynasty has this convention, but is there any article that is clearly written like this? As long as there is none, the person who is dead to pick this is pedantic, no, he is suspicious! Unwritten rules are not rules in the first place, otherwise why did those emperors not say it in the past? ”

Well said and that makes sense...... But this is clearly a strong word!

Yue Qianqiu smiled bitterly, and then couldn't help asking, "Then Master, what kind of official do you want to be?" ”

"Of course I want to go to the border, but whether it's the emperor or my mother, I definitely won't let me." Of course, Yan Xu knew the bottom line of the emperor and the eldest princess of Dongyang, and after he smiled, he said lightly, "The position of Qi pumpkin, just give me one!" ”

If Yue Qianqiu was drinking water at this time, he would definitely be choked by Yan Xu's light breath. What position is Qi Nantian now? That's the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and they are no longer at the level of the commander, and there are only four people in the entire forbidden army system, and if they take a step, they can be called palace marshals. I also know that if the emperor easily grants such a position to his nephew, when his grandfather does not speak, Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong will definitely not be able to bear it.

Because if they don't object, the officials behind them have to poke the backbones of their two prime ministers!

Yue Qianqiu took a breath uneasily, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a thought flash through his mind. Because the idea came and went too fast, he didn't catch it at first, and after racking his brains and thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized: "I understand, Master, you are calling the sky-high asking price, and you will pay back the money on the ground!" ”

"Smart, worthy of a thousand years!" Yan Xu smiled and gave a thumbs up to Yue Qianqiu, but then said to Guan Zi, "As for what official I want, I won't tell you first, lest you show your flaws in front of your grandfather and my mother!" All in all, isn't it great that you are ready to take my seat first, and you and Jiyue will be on an equal footing in the future! ”

But when I wasn't the head of the sect before, I was on an equal footing with others, and she wasn't the kind of person who would rely on herself to be the head of the White Lotus Sect and step on my head with her height and martial arts!

Yue Qianqiu is crazy about slander, of course, his mouth will never be revealed. Yan Xu is usually a good-natured and good-tempered person, and he is easy to speak, but as long as he agrees, the eight cows can't pull it back!

However, when the two of them were silent all the way, and finally turned into the empty street in front of Yuefu, Yan Xu suddenly opened his mouth again: "It's about to be the New Year...... I have to worship my ancestors during the New Year, and I didn't take it to heart before, but now that I think about it, I am also in my thirties, and it is time to take over a little burden from my mother and make her relaxed. ”

It wasn't until he knocked on the small door that belonged to his relatives that Yue Qianqiu handed the reins to Wang Yiding, who answered the door, and waved goodbye to Yan Xu, he looked at Yan Xu, who was clearly smiling on a horse, and finally understood the master's determination in his heart.

I'm afraid that Yan Xu's desire and determination to enter the officialdom this time is real, so ...... Manchu Dynasty civil and military, your good days are over, and the master who has a harder backer will only be more unreasonable than him!

Seeing Yan Xu leave, Yue Qianqiu personally closed the door, and when he arrived at the second gate, he saw that An Renqing was there to open the door for himself, so he said weakly: "There won't be a bunch of people waiting for me today, right?" ”

"Don't worry, not today. The fourth lady and the little lady were called by the old lady to go to Hemingxuan to eat with them at night, but I am afraid that they should both sleep at this time. In the morning, Sect Master Zhou went to invite Song Xiaonu to come over, and later they accompanied the fourth wife to go out for a walk. When he said this, An Renqing squinted at Qianqiu, his eyes were subtle, and he wanted to say that your son was not as good as the two girls in the family.

Yue Qianqiu, who was accustomed to Anren's young and old flattering eyes, didn't look at her at all, nodded and hummed: "That's good, no one in the second and third rooms came to bother them, right?" When did my aunt come back? Did you say when someone from the Ye family or the Yu family would come to watch my mother? ”

An Renqing was almost choked to death by Yue Qianqiu's two words of onlookers, and it took a long time before he said angrily and funny: "Ninth Prince, now that the New Year is approaching, who has time to be a guest at the Venerable Master's house at this time?" I have to talk about the New Year, and even the Lantern Festival! The eldest lady came back in the evening, and as for the second and third wives, they must have been instructed, and only sent someone to send something, and the fourth wife returned the gift. ”

Yue Qianqiu then remembered that the New Year was approaching, and the Ye family and the Yu family were both housewives, and they really didn't have time to come over to gossip. He casually snorted the conversation and diverted the conversation, and when he entered the inner courtyard, when he arrived at the door of the east wing, he saw two neatly dressed girls coming out. Knowing that they must have been holding on to not sleeping until now, he just smiled and nodded in return, only to see a movement in the main room, followed by the door curtain, and it was a girl in a cloak poking her head out.

"Ninth Prince, sure enough, you are back. Madame, please come in and talk. ”

Yue Qianqiu hurriedly let her two girls go back to the room first, and then came to the door of the main room and asked in a low voice, "Haven't slept so late?" ”

The girl smiled and learned the tone of Princess Ping'an and said, "My son didn't come back, how could my mother sleep?" ”

Yue Qianqiu was suddenly helpless: "What about Nuo Nuo?" ”

"Little Miss is sleeping soundly in her own bed!"

Knowing that only Princess Ping'an was waiting for him, Yue Qianqiu relaxed a little, after all, if Princess Ping'an dragged Nuo Nuo to wait for him, the more the old lady knew when he turned around, then he would be in big trouble. When he entered the room and bypassed the screen, he saw Princess Ping'an reading on the soft couch in the center, and he coughed dryly, but in exchange for an angry look.

"Your father said before, you have always been troubled physique, but now it's good, I'm just coming back, it's going to be the New Year, and you're going out again!"

Only then did Yue Qianqiu understand that the problem he encountered, the old lady Yue actually said to Princess Ping'an. I heard the girl who had brought him in before tiptoe away, and the direction of the footsteps was towards Nuonuo's bedroom, so he spread his hands helplessly and said: "I don't want to run out in the cold, but I just don't look for trouble, and trouble will come to my physique." ”

"You're just like your father. If I didn't know, I'd have thought he was out there behind my back and gave birth to your son! Princess Ping'an pointed her finger at Yue Qianqiu, and then said softly, "He used to be like this, he was out in the wild for three days, and there were endless incidents, and when he came back, his face was fine, but his body was always old and new." ”

Speaking of this, Princess Ping'an picked up a thin piece of paper with her fingers from the side, handed it to Yue Qianqiu with a heavy lift, and then smiled slyly.

"A manly man, although the scar is meritorious and brave, it is always not good-looking. If you have the same temperament as your father, then this thing will definitely work for you. This is my family's secret scar removal recipe, after making the ointment, it is definitely a medicine to the scar, leaving no traces! Otherwise, with your father's scars, the flaws would have been exposed a long time ago, and with a spare, you won't need your master! ”
