A room full of people looked at each other, Li Jingsong looked at Chen Mo, and then at Roman who was standing stupidly with tea, and said with a smile: "The sixth child is that kind of character, and he can't take care of anything when political affairs come." He doesn't have a mouthful, let's eat slowly, it's his silver anyway. ”

Where does Roman still have an appetite, her heart is full of resentment towards herself: what kind of fragrance, Zhou Mei has never been fragrant.

Looking at the equally embarrassed brother standing aside, Roman felt that leaving was a better choice. They were invited by the prince, and the prince was gone, and it was not appropriate for them to still eat and drink here.

Prince Ketun's son is also a pivotal figure, he is kind enough to alleviate the embarrassment, they still don't appreciate it, do they also offend people?

Just because it was hard to find it, Chen Mo came over to take the Roman teacup, and smiled very thoughtfully: "Li Shizi and I want to talk about some political affairs, it is not very convenient for your brothers and sisters to be here." Why don't I go to the cubicle and open another table for you?" ”

Roman hurriedly refused: "Chen Gongzi's kindness Roman understands, but my family lives outside the city, and I want to leave early to avoid getting dark." ”

"I'll send you out."

Luo Tingchen took his sister by the hand, and Chen Mo quietly guarded behind the brother and sister.

When the Roman brothers and sisters were about to get into the car, a little girl hurriedly delivered a food box. Chen Mo took it and handed it to Roman: "The preparation is not thorough in a hurry, you can make do to satisfy your hunger." The next time I have a chance, I will prepare a good table to make amends for the two of you. ”

Roman hurriedly took it and kept thanking him.

The carriage had gone a long way before Roman opened the food box.

As soon as the lid is opened, the sweet smell overflows. In addition to the wisteria cake that he praised with the king of the county, there are also fine rice dumplings, chubby soup dumplings, as well as Yuhuquan's signature dishes 'Baipao shrimp', 'soft eel', and 'Pingqiao tofu'......

In his previous life, it was said that Chen Mo was an iceberg beauty, and there was an air conditioner of 'no one should enter' ten miles away. But he is so empathetic and thoughtful, where is it cold?

Roman lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw Chen Mo still standing at the door watching. The setting sun shone on his gold-rimmed black brocade robe, as if he had just stepped down from the sun, and his whole body was full of fairy wind and sword qi that had not had time to converge.

"The name of the first son, Chen Gongzi deserves it." Luo Tingchen withdrew his gaze from Chen Mo and put down the curtain that Roman had lifted.

"You and Lan'er should be allowed to be like this." Thinking of almost setting Pei Junlin for Roman, Luo Tingchen was like swallowing a dozen flies, disgusted and angry at the same time: "Brother must be a good student to do his studies, and earn a good future for himself and you." ”

Roman held his brother's hand and squeezed it tightly: "In this way, the future of me and Lan'er will be entrusted to my brother." ”

Hurry up, and when I got home, it was still getting dark.

Luo Tingchen's little servant Zhiyuan was already standing at the door, looking at it. Without waiting for the carriage to stop in the courtyard, he hurriedly came up and opened the curtain: "Gongzi is back, Master Zhou has been waiting for you for half an hour." ”

"Why is the Master here?" Luo Tingchen was surprised and didn't delay his actions, he got out of the car quickly and instructed his sister: "I can't send you back to the yard, it's dark, you walk slowly." ”

"I can take care of myself, my brother is busy with business."

Roman was talking to his brother, but his mind was fast thinking about what would happen if Master Zhou came to the door in person. But she couldn't remember whether Master Zhou came to the door in her previous life, and she couldn't guess what major events were worth coming over in person recently, so she told her brother: "No matter what happens, my brother will come and listen to me, okay?" ”

"Okay", as he spoke, Luo Tingchen had already walked three steps away.

When she returned to the courtyard, Zhou Hong greeted her: "Miss, do you eat first, or wash your face and rest?" ”

"You go and wait outside the Washing Yan Pavilion, and when you see Master Zhou leaving, you will come back to report."

After Zhou Hong left, no other maids came up to serve, and Roman didn't need it. She went back to the house, washed her face, and sat down at the window to think about things.

What happened at home at this time in the previous life? She really can't remember, the only thing she remembers is that her brother won the lift this year, and the congratulatory gift sent by Uncle Xuanyi made Pei Pozi throw it out. The uncle's mother came to congratulate her, and she also let her subordinates scold back.

After another hour, Zhou Hong came back in the dust: "Gongzi just sent Master Zhou out of the gate of the Yan Pavilion, and Pei Junjie, who was arranged by Pei Pozi to accompany Gongzi, also went out. Looking at the direction he went, he should have talked to Pei Pozi. ”

Some time ago, Pei Junjie took leave and went back to help Pei Junlin prepare for marriage. So much so that Roman forgot that there was such a number one person by his brother's side.

In the future, I can't go to my brother's side to talk anymore.

"You still go to the inkstone pavilion to guard, and when the son comes back, he will invite him over, and say that I have something important to look for him."

It didn't take long for Zhou Hong to lead Luo Tingchen back this time. Roman carefully instructed Zhou Hong: "You personally guard outside, when I talk to my eldest brother, no one is allowed around the house except you." ”

"Slaves and maids can be saved."

Seeing his brother's frowns, Roman's impetuous heart calmed down.

The prince taught her more than once: The more things you encounter, the more you must be at peace. No matter how complicated and difficult things are, they all break through from the simplest hands.

He pulled his brother to sit down on the rosewood chair, and personally cooked a cup of tea for his brother and handed it to him: "Brother first take a sip of tea to slow down his mind, no matter what happens, we have to be calm before we can think through it." ”

"It's still my sister who can see it." Luo Tingchen looked at his sister and chuckled, he felt more and more that his sister was more sensible and transparent than him. The years he grew up seemed to be in vain.

The brother and sister finished eating a plate of dim sum with tea, and Luo Tingchen's heart was completely calmed.

He looked at his sister and said, "I don't know where King Hejun fell in love with him, so he sent a message to his master." said that as long as I won the move this autumn, I would go to his side to practice as a counselor. The Master's meaning is that I should not take the test this year. ”

Although Roman forgot the ranking, but in his previous life, this year, his brother really won the promotion.

In other words, my brother's talent is enough to be promoted, and Master Zhou, as my brother's master, must know my brother's strength. What does it mean to deliberately come to the door to take care of him and let him not take the exam this year?

Seeing his sister's doubts, Luo Tingchen explained: "My sister has lived in the countryside for a long time, so naturally I don't know about the affairs of Beijing and the court. ”

Luo Tingchen took a sip of tea and patiently explained to his sister: "In the past two years, he has been the same as the king of the county, and most of the nobles in Beijing have to give him three points." But that's not because he has a deep foundation and is blessed with grace, and his outstanding talent doesn't add much to him.

The most fundamental reason is that the second prince he is attached to, King Qin, is in a high and powerful position, and both the mother family and the holy favor are eye-catching. is a popular candidate to inherit the throne. ”

It's hard to say that it's attached, but it's true.

Concubine Wen, the mother of the king of the county, was not favored, and was able to give birth to the king of the county in the position of a nobleman, because of the help of the biological mother of the king of Qin, Concubine De. After that, he was able to raise the child peacefully, and went all the way from the noble to the concubine, and it was all up to the protection and support of the noble concubine.

He didn't have a choice at all, he had been with the second prince King Qin since he was born. King Qin's aura and protection blocked countless open guns and arrows for him. The two grew up together, and in addition to their brotherly love, he also owed the kindness of King Qin's mother and son.

Therefore, he was tied to King Qin all his life. One is prosperous, and one is lost.

"The prince has become more and more tyrannical in recent years, and it is said that the drought on both sides of Jinghu Lake is the tyranny of the prince who has been punished by heaven."

When he said this, Luo Tingchen cautiously looked at the doors and windows, and did not see any suspicious people eavesdropping before he whispered again: "The position of the crown prince is unstable, and the second prince is ambitious. and the second prince of the county, although the momentum is strong in front of him, the scenery is infinite. But the crown prince occupies the heir and the long, and the foreign family is also in a high position, and it is likely to stand. ”

sighed again: "It's that the crown prince is not guaranteed, and the queen still has four princes." The fourth prince's reputation is much better than that of the prince. If King Qin wants to ascend to the throne, he doesn't know how many Longtan tiger's dens he has to break into.

With such an identity, I stepped into it, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait for King Qin to succeed, so I sacrificed the prince's series of knives first. The whole clan of the Zhao and Luo families is afraid that they will all suffer. ”

Although his mouth was full of words of retreat, Luo Tingchen's eyes were full of unwillingness: "But with a background like mine, if I don't take risks, I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to be a supreme minister in my life." ”

He grabbed his hair in embarrassment and looked at his sister full of hope: "I know that I should listen to my master, but such an opportunity is too rare." How many people sharpened their brains and squeezed around King Qin, but they couldn't squeeze in; But I received an olive branch from the king of Hejun himself......"

Roman also looked at his brother fixedly, not knowing how to answer.

She knows better than anyone how tragic King Qin's path is. Although King Hejun became the final winner, he also paid a huge price. Among those huge costs, of course, the forces that supported them were uprooted and beheaded by the queen's family.

In the previous life, whether it was Xuanyi Bofu or the Zhao family, the whole clan was destroyed and could not die well.

She didn't know what these two families had done in the previous life, the only thing she was sure of was that neither of them supported King Qin.

And what about this time? If she pulls the two families to stand firmly behind King Hejun, will she still not be able to withstand the mandate of heaven, or will she be able to escape the catastrophe with the blessing of King Hejun?

Or, as my brother said, find a way to keep the whole family away from the whirlpool of the prince's struggle for the throne. Is a dull life a great blessing?

For a while, Roman was also confused: even if she was crushed, she would definitely go to the side of King Hejun. But her family, relatives, she can't ignore it at all.

"If it's my sister, what will you do, to take the test or not?" Luo Tingchen looked at Roman's eyes for a moment, holding his breath and waiting for his sister's answer.

Between a dilemma, he prefers to trust his sister's judgment.

Roman pursed his lips and thought for a while, and asked him: "If you refuse the invitation to the prince of the county, can my brother be sure that he will leave under the favor of the prince's family?" ”

"As long as my brother enters the office, he will definitely step into the court with one foot. If you want to achieve something, you must show your talent. You are backed by the Xuanyi Bofu and the wealthy Zhao family, and you have the talent to make an eye. It is only a matter of time before the prince is recruited. ”

Luo Tingchen was silent for a moment, and the brows that had been stretched out before furrowed again: "Mr. said that my article is good, and I will be able to take the spring exam next year." If you don't care about the ranking, it shouldn't be difficult to get on the list. I can't look down on the same Jinshi, and the next subject is also nine out of ten. ”

In this way, he will enter the court three years later at the latest. Even if he fails repeatedly, he will definitely think of donating to the official. If he doesn't enter the court in this life, how can he get ahead and protect his family?

"If you stand on the side of the king of Hejun now, you will also save the eyes of recruiting the prince."

Comparing the prince's line and King Qin's style, Luo Tingchen still prefers to be with King Qin. It's all fire pits, and King Qin will at least cherish those who charge for him; In the eyes of the prince, it was his duty to be stabbed for him.

Thinking about it like this, Luo Tingchen calmed down a little: "I can't avoid the left and right, why don't I take the exam?" ”

Roman was in turmoil for a long time, but gradually settled down: even if she broke off the relationship with Zhao and Luo, she still had the blood of the two families in her body. With the prince's heart, as long as she loses, the two families will be uprooted.

What's more, the eldest uncle and the Luo family are all officials in the court, where can they hide?

Thinking of this, Roman had a determined smile on his face: "I also think that my brother should take the exam well." No matter how dangerous it is in the future, not to mention how many pond fish can not be affected when the gods fight?

As long as there are still people in the Luo and Zhao families standing in the court, they don't know what kind of disaster it will cause. The elder brother is by the side of the king of the county, and he may be able to avoid a lot of disasters. ”

Luo Tingchen thought so.

"What's more, the saint is only forty, and he is at the peak of spring and autumn."
