After a meal, Chu Jiayin estimated that he didn't have ten chopsticks on it, and it tasted like chewing wax and losing his appetite.

After Chu Jiazhen was full, she pulled Chu Jiayin away.

There are a lot of flowers planted in the courtyard of the general's mansion, which is very popular with the girl's family. Besides, the night was dark, and the house was full of young men and women, and some people had to think of something else.

For example, sneaking away from your parents and making an oath or something, how exciting it is. The girls who don't even give up the door on weekdays are naturally looking forward to it more.

Chu Jiazhen eats a lot on weekdays, but she eats less today, probably because Qi Gongzi left the table early and went to Lang Jun.

"Sister Zhen, if you want to see Qi Gongzi, go and see you, isn't it okay to take me along?" Chu Jiayin struggled to resist.

"Who told you I was going to see him?"

"Huh?" Chu Jiayin didn't believe her nonsense.

No, as soon as Qi Gongzi showed up over there, Chu Jiazhen pulled people into the grass and squatted like a thief.

Chu Jiayin was not happy to accompany her, pulled out her arm, and quickly slipped away: "Sister, you can do it yourself, I won't bother you, go first." ”

She stayed here, and the embarrassment was redundant, she didn't want it! Because Qi Lin couldn't find them, Chu Jiayin crawled away with difficulty.

Chu Jiayin walked around the courtyard of the General's Mansion alone, admiring all the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and finally dragged his slightly tired body and planned to go back to his residence.

When I looked at the place where I was separated from Chu Jiazhen, I didn't see half of the figure, and I didn't know if her sister Zhenzhen and Gongzi Qi had met now.

Chu Jiayin knew that the marriage between the two of them was predestined, and she also believed in the personality of Qi Gongzi, so she was not worried about Sister Zhen's situation, so she didn't plan to look back.

The affairs of others have nothing to do with her, but what about her own affairs? Speaking of marriage, Chu Jiayin couldn't help but think of the second brother, and thought that the second brother had a very happy conversation with Murong Xue, and the vinegar became stronger, tearing the innocent Yueji in front of him who was in full bloom into a bald head.

Maybe Sister Zhen is right, the second brother is good in everything, and he is not biological, why not like him? Besides, he will still be a great strategist in the future, a popular man in front of the emperor. Such a good husband cheapens others for nothing, isn't he blind?

was sulking, and when she turned her head, she saw Murong Xue and her second brother walking over.

Chu Jiayin was startled and burrowed into the flowers like a thief. She was small, and it was dark at this time, and no one could spot her. It was the thorns on this flower branch, and she hid in a hurry, and it was inevitable that she would be stabbed on her face and hands.

Chu Jiayin had never suffered this kind of crime, and wanted to jump out like this, and run to the second brother to cry and complain, but when he thought about it, if he made the second brother hate it, wouldn't it be ...... That's it, bear with it, the body is like a child, won't this mind last a lifetime?

I can't bear this crime, how should I face the Chu family in the future?

Thinking like this, Chu Jiayin hid in the flowers and did not move, quietly watching Chu Jingyan and the others come over. There is a small pavilion not far from where Chu Jiayin is hiding, which is very suitable for spending money before the moon and talking about love.

As soon as the two sat down, a maid came over with a teacup, and Murong Xue took it and poured tea for Chu Jingyan herself. Pouring water, washing tea sets, lower leaves, and falling tea, they are very skillful and quite stylish.

This Murong Xue spoke and behaved, and he also had the posture of a good tutor. How can he be as hot as Chu Jiayin, he can jump three steps in one step, and he falls a lot in three days, and he is injured when he falls!

Just like Mama and Grandmother said, sooner or later she will have to fall out of an injury that will not be healed, and then see who still likes her ugly daughter-in-law. Chu Jiayin knew that he had lost completely, and couldn't help but want to stomp his feet to vent, but unexpectedly hurt himself.

She shook her head, and the thorn on the branch near her neck scratched her again. Chu Jiayin didn't dare to move anymore now.

There was movement in the flowers, and Chu Jingyan was used to being vigilant, so he followed the sound and glanced at it. Who knew that when I saw this look, I saw the small figure in the flowers, and I couldn't help but smile.

Murong Xue on the side saw it, and thought that this smile was for her, so she was a little happy, and opened the conversation: "I heard that Miss Yin's knowledge is still taught by you?" ”

"Not exactly." Chu Jingyan replied flatly, his mind drifted a little farther away, and the more he looked at the little man who was hiding in the flowers and didn't dare to move, the more interesting he felt about it.

He was invited by Murong Xue to admire the moon and flowers, all for the sake of General Murong's face, and it was difficult to refuse.

He remembered the things he wanted to do, and he was afraid that he would have to rely on this Murong General in the future, not to mention that he must please people on the surface, at least he would not offend the people of his family.

"That's taught." Murong Xue said with a smile, "I heard that the sixth lady didn't know a few pages of text before you taught, and she can make poems at the flower-viewing banquet with your teaching, and the talent of the second prince is really worthy of the title of the first genius in the capital." ”

She deliberately held Chu Jingyan, and as for the part that did not intend to belittle Chu Jiayin, it was not very important. She also heard that Chu Jiayin often bullied Chu Jingyan in the past, and she didn't care that she secretly belittled Chu Jiayin.

Who knew that Chu Jingyan actually replied: "Sixth Miss is smart, and she doesn't know how many pages of text, and such things as not knowing a few pages are completely rumors from the outside world." ”

Chu Jiayin, who was not far away, could hear the conversation between the two, and listened to the words of the second brother with sharp ears, and couldn't help but be a little moved, and also a little inexplicably throbbing.

She muttered to herself in her heart: "It seems that the second brother is not ruthless and unrighteous to me, I don't know if I work harder, will he have the same feelings as me?" ”

This matter is difficult in Chu Jiayin's opinion, because the second brother in his previous life was cold and ruthless, and he had never had anyone close to him. He should be the one he hated, but now he is close, but he is a full eight years younger than him, and he has to bend down and bow his head when he talks to himself.

Who would be tempted by a child like a dwarf winter melon?

Thinking of this, Chu Jiayin's mood was even lower.

Although Chu Jingyan's words deliberately protected Chu Jiayin, they were indeed the truth. When Chu Jiayin first studied with him, he was also quite puzzled, Chu Jiayin was obviously still the eight-year-old sixth lady, and he had never listened to his master's words before this. But her literacy is not comparable to that of a child of several years.

It is not as good as Miss Chu Liu, who doesn't like to study, that can have it, and it was during that time that Chu Jiayin inexplicably became intimate with him.

Chu Jiayin said that there are two reasons why he should be good to Chu Jingyan, the first Chu Jingyan is slightly trustworthy, and the second should be more credible and more in line with children's thoughts. But after thinking about it carefully, Chu Jingyan always felt that Chu Jiayin still had something to hide from him, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be kind to him suddenly, and it was definitely impossible for him to be a whim and a dream.

Murong Xue was refuted, only feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to mention Chu Jiayin's badness. Most of these rumors were made up by Chu Yun and her mother, and of course they were all bad.

"Does the second son have the heart to enter the barracks? The people in my family, presumably the second son, also know that they are all rough people, and even writing a name is afraid that it will be difficult for them. There is a lack of a literati like Gongzi who understands the art of war and knows Fang Yuan as a strategist, I wonder if Gongzi has the will to serve my Murong family? If you are interested, the General's Mansion is ready to wait. ”

If Chu Jingyan is allowed to participate in the scientific expedition, maybe he should be in the middle of the three yuan, ascend to the sky in one step, and face the Son of Heaven. When the time comes, I will mention this matter again, but I am afraid that I will rob people with the emperor. Although there are also first-class talents in the imperial examination who have served for Jiangmen since ancient times, there are very few of them.

Murong Xue is mentioning this matter now, also for herself, if Chu Jingyan soars into the sky in the future, and she faces him, I am afraid it will be regarded as a high climb. If Chu Jingyan had been doing things in his own mansion early in the morning, even if he had risen to prominence in the future, the Murong family would have the grace to know him, and this identity would be different.

Becoming famous through the imperial examination or slowly developing the general's door, it seems that becoming famous through the imperial examination is more beneficial to Chu Jingyan, but it is also disadvantageous. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and it has its own truth. Entering the court needs to be fearful, a bucket of water hangs seven up and eight down, and always has to prevent the emperor from being punished, and the development of entering the gate will be more stable than entering the court.

How Chu Jingyan chooses depends on whether he is willing to take risks and do big things, or whether he is willing to take a comfortable path with the wind and water.

"Thanks to the love of the General's Mansion, I really have the heart to follow General Murong."

Murong Xue was happy when she heard this, thinking that Chu Jingyan had promised to stay and help her father. Chu Mansion is just a family of merchants, even if it has dealings with the royal family, the General's Mansion does not have a big face of eating imperial food, as long as Chu Jingyan agrees, the General's Mansion will definitely be able to come out with the Chu Mansion.

Chu Jiayin leaned his ears and pouted dissatisfiedly when he heard that the second brother was going to enter Murong Mansion to do business. But when the water flows to a low place, people have to climb to a high place, so why should she stop it?

Entering the General's Mansion is indeed better than staying in the Chu Mansion. No one in the Chu family treats him as a son, and his life is only a little more comfortable than that of his subordinates, but it is different when he enters the General's Mansion, everyone must treat him as a nobleman and worship him.

Thinking with his toes, it is better to know where the second brother stays. The second brother who wants to leave, the Chu family can't keep it!

"That being the case, I will ...... with me tomorrow" Murong Xue was a little excited, as if she was going to get married.

It's a pity that before Murong Xue finished speaking, Chu Jingyan added: "Miss Murong misunderstood, I just thought about it, and I didn't intend to strike the iron as soon as possible, and I will enter the Murong Mansion now." ”

After hearing this, Murong Xue's face darkened.

Chu Jiayin's sad face immediately smiled into a flower.

The second brother is not leaving?

Why?

For her?

Chu Jiayin began to fantasize unrealistically.

Murong Xue, who was sitting next to Chu Jingyan, asked Chu Jiayin's question: "Why?" ”

Chu Jiayin hurriedly listened attentively.

"I want to participate in the imperial examination, step by step." Chu Jingyan said.

"You have entered the General's Mansion, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, my father will definitely not stop you." Murong Xue was in a hurry for a while, and opened her mouth to say something unrealistic.

In fact, since the founding of the country, how can there be a strategist who enters the door first and returns the return.
