Gu Junyan has always been very curious about Su Yunlai, for example, her calmness and boldness are not what an ordinary daughter should have, he specially went to investigate Su Yunlai, just an ordinary little girl, who is favored by her parents, and a little coquettish and willful.

But it was such a girl who helped him get rid of the tracking of the secret guards, and boldly reminded Li Sheng to be careful of the collusion between Chen Ge Lao and the Great Liao.

He was really curious, but he couldn't find out the clues, so at the birthday banquet, he ordered Su Zhan to be Li Sheng's companion, and his original intention was to learn more about Su Yunlai through Su Zhan.

Now hearing Su Yunlai's explanation, Gu Junyan had a feeling of ridicule.

"It's not too early, my mother should look for me, the young general, please take a chance, I will retire first." Su Yunlai stood up and said.

Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "You deliberately broke up your maid, didn't you let her call someone?" ”

Su Yunlaiping glanced at him and said in a low voice: "I deliberately broke her away to let her go out to watch the wind." ”

If people see the seventh miss of the Su family and Gu Junyan alone in the room, then she can't wash it when she jumps into the Yellow River, Gu Junyan is a natural shining point, as long as things related to him can become the focus of the world's attention, Su Yun admits that he can't afford this kind of gaze.

Gu Junyan stared at her with a smile and said, "...... Miss Su Qi seems to attach great importance to her reputation, and she is worried that she will have something to do with me three times and twice? ”

Su Yunlai nodded without hesitation: "It's good that the young general knows, and please be more considerate of the young general." ”

Gu Junyan: "......"

This person in the capital who wants to have something to do with him, there are not 10,000 but 8,000, and Gu Junyan, who has always considered himself a fragrant glutton, is the first time that people are so disgusted, and for a while, General Gu's mood is really not good.

Su Yunlai stood up and turned around and walked out, Jun Yao really stood in front of the corridor, looking at the fourth room vigilantly.

Su Yunlai walked over: "Let's go, let's go see my mother." ”

Jun Yao answered, followed behind her, and glanced at her without saying anything.

Su Yunlai was inexplicable: "What's wrong?" ”

Jun Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Miss, the east chamber we entered just now, the west chamber is the place to entertain the female dependents," after a pause, she looked ashamed and wanted to die: "Just now, the slave maid made a mistake just now!" ”

Even in a place like a temple, it is necessary to pay attention to the defense of men and women, the wings of male and female pilgrims are separated, but the buildings of the temple are symmetrical, and each room is the same, just now Jun Yao took Su Yunlai in the wrong direction and went to the east chamber.

Su Yunlai: "......"

Even if she was as calm as Su Yunlai, she was a little embarrassed at this time, especially thinking of the words she had just said to Gu Junyan seriously, which made her even more embarrassed, it turned out that she had gone to the wrong room at all! She is the one who has the 'girlfriend reputation' of the bad family!

However, after two lives, Su Yunlai's receptivity is extremely strong, and after glaring at Jun Yao, he accepted this fact, and comforted himself, anyway, General Gu Shao is not afraid of being 'praised'.

……

Su Zhan didn't know that in order to pray for him, there was such an oolong in Fahua Temple, in fact, when he arrived at Changsun's Mansion early in the morning, someone led him in.

The eldest grandson's mansion occupies a huge area, and the interior scenery is exquisite, Su Zhan followed his subordinates to Li Sheng's study in the backyard without squinting.

When Su Zhan arrived, Li Sheng was boxing in the yard, Li Sheng's health was not good, and he was sweating profusely when he was so active, and his nose was still soaked with sweat.

Su Zhan didn't expect that Li Sheng would be like this on the first day.

"Su Sangongzi is here?" Li Sheng greeted casually, with a casual and cordial attitude, as if facing his confidant and friend, paused, and said a little shyly: "I have to practice a set of boxing techniques every morning, which was taught to me by Jun Yan, but my body is not good, and I can't hold on to a complete set." ”

Su Zhan hurriedly replied: "It's the grass people who came early and disturbed His Highness." ”

Li Sheng smiled, although he was slightly out of breath after the event, his face was ruddy: "It's okay, you will come and go often in the future, you don't have to be so formal, you sit down first, I'll change my clothes, I won't use it so early in the future, Mr. will only arrive at the end of the day." ”

Su Zhan answered, and then Li Sheng walked out, he was the only one in the study, so he sat on the chair and waited quietly.

A maid brought a snack and tea, Su Zhan waited for a while, then took out a book and read it, Li Sheng went for about half an hour before coming back.

Su Zhan raised his head from the book, his expression was still unfinished, and his expression seemed to be a little suspicious that Li Sheng had come back too early.

Li Sheng couldn't help laughing: "If Mr. Song sees you, he will definitely talk to you." ”

Song Zhiwen is Mr. Song's lecturer Li Sheng, and when it comes to Song Zhiwen, there is really an interesting thing.

Song Zhiwen is a protégé of a saint, only eight buckets high, in addition to the history books and scriptures, but also proficient in Qimen Dunjia, excellent dialectics, is a contemporary Confucian, but he has a strange temperament, does not like to be an official, and yearns for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Song Zhiwen had a very personal relationship with the former emperor, and it was said that he had quarreled with the former emperor back then, but the former emperor had nothing to do with him.

After Li Sheng was poisoned, Gu Yanshan personally sent people to find Song Zhiwen, who was traveling around, and asked him to go out of the mountain to teach Li Sheng.

Song Zhiwen was reluctant, and directly rolled up his sleeves and tied people back to the capital, Song Zhiwen shouted 'Xiucai meets the soldiers, and he can't explain it clearly', and he was so angry that he couldn't do it.

In the end, Song Zhiwen protested with a peerless death, a man of seventy or eighty years old, he was dying in a few days, and in the end it was Gu Junyan who came forward, and he didn't know how to persuade him, and finally he finally agreed to stay and teach Li Sheng.

However, Song Zhiwen put forward a condition, he only was a student and did not participate in the affairs of the court.

In other words, he can be Li Sheng's husband, but don't think that he will help Li Sheng to fight for power, Gu Junyan agreed, and Song Zhiwen stayed in the capital with peace of mind.

Therefore, Gu Junyan and Gu Yanshan are worthy of being father and son, one is forced to catch the teacher, and the other is forced to catch the companion to read, and the means are the same.

As soon as Su Zhan thought of seeing Song Zhiwen, his heart was furious.

Soon Song Zhiwen arrived, although he was old, he was in good spirits, his eyes were like torches, his eloquence was excellent, the allusions were easy to understand, and fascinating, and many difficult things were explained by him to become particularly vivid and interesting.

But after a class, Su Zhan felt that he was still unsatisfied.

After class, Su Zhan took a book with a hint of shyness and went to ask Song Zhi some questions that he didn't understand before.

In the end, Su Zhan saw that Song Zhiwen was tired, and Su Zhan reluctantly watched him leave.

As soon as Song Zhiwen left, Li Sheng said to Su Zhan with a smile: "Thanks to you for coming, Mr. Song is very happy, he always says, I am not concentrating on learning, even if I learn, it is useless, now that you are here, he can be regarded as getting what he wants." ”

Su Zhan's face was full of curiosity: "This is the third student is lucky!" ”

Li Sheng smiled lightly: "Let you be my companion, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you, probably that's all there is left." ”

Li Sheng's current situation is embarrassing, he has many enemies, and he doesn't dare to blatantly come to Li Sheng, it is possible to deal with a small companion to attack Li Sheng, and Li Sheng is impossible to show his hole cards for a companion.

In fact, many people understand this truth, so Mrs. Su was so indifferent when she learned that Su Zhan had become Li Sheng's companion.

"In this way, the students are already grateful!" Su Zhan said sincerely.

Li Sheng curled the corners of his lips: "But since you have entered the Changsun Mansion, many things can no longer be done to you, from the outsider's point of view, you and I are already people in the same boat, and there are eggs under the nest, for me, and for yourself, Su Sangongzi, now I can't help you and me." ”

Su Zhan blinked, I don't know why, looking at Li Sheng's warm and kind face, he inexplicably felt a trace of cunning?

Obviously, on the surface, he seems to be a handsome son.

Su Zhan suddenly thought of Su Yunlai, and when Su Yunlai was calculating others, the smile on his face was actually the same as Li Sheng's.

Su Zhan felt a little desperate inexplicably, there was a smart sister at home, and there was a classmate in the school who was always planning for the throne, Su Sangongzi, who had always been very confident in his intelligence, suddenly became a little uncertain.

Su Zhan put away the thoughts in his heart and bowed at Li Sheng: "But it is sent by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Sheng's eyes, he didn't expect Su Zhan to make a decision so quickly, but he quickly reacted: "That being the case, I happen to have one thing here, and I also ask the third young master for help." He paused, his face was straight: "In a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday, and the birthday gift for the emperor must not be sloppy......"

Su Zhan listened to Li Sheng's voice, but his thoughts returned to the time when he was about to go out today, when Chen and Mama Lan came to see him, Mama Lan took advantage of Chen's inattention and quietly said a word to him.

"Third Young Master, the Seventh Young Master asked the slave maid to pass a message to you, she said, whether you want to or not, you are now a member of His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun, please be sure to strengthen your position."

Su Zhan didn't understand what this meant at the time, and it wasn't until Li Sheng's words just now that he was empowered, yes, whether he wanted it or not, he was now a member of Li Sheng's faction, and at the birthday banquet, when he failed to successfully reject Gu Junyan, he was already doomed to this.

In fact, even Song Zhiwen understood that although he said that he would not help Li Sheng to fight for power, but he accepted Li Sheng as a student, and he couldn't pick it up, and the things he taught Li Sheng were all resources for Li Sheng to compete for the throne.

Even Song Zhi asked himself that when he was teaching Li Sheng, he would be biased towards the way of being a king and employing people.

Even Song Zhiwen can't ask for such a great Confucian, let alone Su Zhan?

Since he is wavering, it is better to be firm in his position at the beginning, this truth Su Yun understands, and Su Zhan also understands.

But Su Zhan didn't expect that Li Sheng would give him such a problem from the beginning.

……

Su Jie returned to Su Mansion a little absentmindedly today, even if he had something in his heart, but before entering the door, he still looked around and found that he didn't see Su Chen's shadow, so he breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his courtyard.

In the past few days, no matter when he goes out and goes home, he can always meet Su Chen, when he goes out, if he goes to see the second prince or the professor of the academy, Su Chen always has to find an excuse to go together, and when he comes back, Su Chen meets him, and he will ask what they said today.

Su Jie is not stupid, he knows that Su Chen is deliberately blocking him, in order to take his opportunity to climb the second prince.

Su Jie sneered, how could he give Su Chen such a chance?

It's just that he didn't see Su Chen when he came back today, and he was actually a little surprised, but he didn't care about what he was thinking, but hurried to find his mother.

Su Jie's father, the fourth master, is unreliable, he is not at home all the year round, Su Jie and his father-son relationship is very weak, compared to the unreliable fourth master, the fourth wife has always cared about this son.

Except for the last time when the mother and son were a little unhappy because of marrying a girl from the Du family, Su Jie still respects this mother very much.

The fourth wife was instructing Su Yunzhen to do needlework, and Su Jie walked in with a solemn face.

"Jie'er, aren't you going to see the second prince today? But what happened? The fourth lady hurriedly asked, and after a pause, she thought of a possibility: "But your fourth brother went to block you again?" It's just too deceitful! The nobleman doesn't look down on her son, what are you doing when you come to bother you? Let's go find your grandmother! ”

"Mother, it's not like this, I didn't see the fourth brother, I have something to discuss with you." Su Jie said hurriedly.

Seeing his serious face, the fourth lady hurriedly sent the subordinate out, "Jie'er, what's the matter?" ”

"Today I went to see the second prince, the second prince's attitude towards me is very close, and he praised me a few words, saying that he was waiting for me to finish my studies this year, and then enter the imperial study." After Su Jie finished speaking, he looked at the fourth wife: "I always feel that the second prince's words have a deep meaning, mother, I also know that with my achievements in the Guozijian, the possibility of wanting to be a companion to the second prince is very small, but the second prince still says so, what does he mean by this?" ”

A figure of such status as the second prince, everything he says and does is not for no reason, there must be a deep meaning in it.

Su Jie didn't understand how to think about it.

The fourth lady frowned slightly and began to think about it.

But no matter how smart the fourth wife is, she is a woman in the inner courtyard after all, and her vision is limited, and she didn't think of the key to the problem, so she thought about it and decided to go to Mrs. Su.

Su Jie's future is now the top priority of the Su family, and Mrs. Su will not sit idly by.

The fourth lady went to Lingyun Courtyard and carefully explained the matter.

"Mother, what do you mean, these two princes?"

Mrs. Su also thought for a while, and then raised her head suddenly, she looked at Mrs. Four, and said meaningfully: "Don't forget, now in our family, there is not only Jie'er who has a 'good future'. ”

The second prince will find a companion to read, in fact, it is also a way to recruit talents in disguise, the so-called three gangs of a good man, this is the truth, the second prince has great ambitions, the goal is only that one position, there must be a group of strategists.

These strategists may not need to do their homework well, but they must be people who want to help the 'great cause' of the second prince, and what can Su Jie, an ordinary scholar, help the second prince?

He has the advantage that no one else has, that is, his cousin is now the companion of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The people around the emperor's eldest grandson are almost all old people left by the emperor, and others can't intervene at all, and Li Sheng is an extremely smart and low-key person, and it is even more difficult for others to get some news from him.

Now it's different, now there is a Su Zhan by Li Sheng's side, and some things, after one person's hands, may be known to countless people.

"The second prince will be impressed by Jie'er, I'm afraid that it will be the idea of the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor's birthday is coming, and the princes can't wait." Old Lady Su's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said meaningfully.

As soon as Mrs. Su said this, the fourth lady suddenly realized, and she looked at Mrs. Su with admiration: "It's still my mother's thinking thoroughly, if my daughter-in-law thinks about it herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to figure it out!" ”

It's not all a compliment for Mrs. Fourth to say that.

Mrs. Su glanced at her approvingly: "You did a good job this time, in the future, if you don't understand anything about Jie'er, come and ask me, don't make your own opinions, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, don't affect Jie'er's future again." ”

After this incident, the fourth lady admired Mrs. Su very much, how could there be any reason.

She replied with a face: "Yes, yes, mother, daughter-in-law listen to you." After a pause, she hesitated a little: "It's just that the second prince is there, how should we deal with it?" ”

There is no way for others to do this, they have a way, after all, Su Zhan lives at home, they are the masters, and it is easy to ask someone to do something.

At this time, the fourth wife can also do it, but I am afraid that it will attract attention, then it is not good, and the fifth wife has to cooperate in this matter.

The fourth lady was reluctant to beg the fifth wife, so she made an embarrassed look at Mrs. Su.

Old Mrs. Su saw through her thoughts, and glanced at her with a smile, and the fourth lady hurriedly smiled.

Mrs. Su said: "It's changed, I'll let your five brothers and sisters do it when you go back, you are optimistic about Jie'er." ”

The fourth wife responded crisply: "Hey, my mother still loves me, you can rest assured!" ”

The fourth lady got Mrs. Su's words and left satisfied.

When she turned around, Mrs. Su called Mrs. Fifth over.

"You go to find two clever points, those who have the ability to see, and also, you must be literate and send them to Zhan'er's study, if you see the things of the emperor's eldest grandson, you must pay more attention," After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she aimed at the eyes of the fifth wife: "What I mean, do you understand?" ”

The fifth lady understood what Mrs. Su meant, but she was a little reluctant in her heart, needless to say, this must be for Su Jie, paving the way for Su Jie, and finally having to work hard for her, why? If one is not good, you have to offend the second room.

But if she doesn't agree, she will offend Mrs. Su now.

In the end, Mrs. Su looked at her, which was obviously a warning to her, and the fifth lady nodded, with a respectful smile: "Daughter-in-law understands, mother, don't worry, daughter-in-law will personally choose someone!" ”

Mrs. Su nodded: "You go and arrange it." ”

Mrs. Su's face became gloomy when she left Lingyun Courtyard, she used to be the most face-saving daughter-in-law by Mrs. Su's side, but since Su Jie entered the National Prison, her status has become more and more precarious.

Old Mrs. Su is now bent on paving the way for Su Jie, and fully supports Su Jie to be the companion of the second prince, and the fifth lady twisted the veil angrily.

The fifth lady was angry with Mrs. Su, and turned around to find Su Chen, who asked Su Chen to curry favor with Su Jie, in order to use Su Jie to attach the second prince.

Now that the fourth wife is so majestic, isn't it just through her son? If Su Chen can also get the favor of the second prince, I don't believe that he can't compare to Su Jie!

Thinking of this, the fifth lady instructed her maid: "Go, see if the fourth young master has come back, let him come to see me when he comes back, if he hasn't come back yet, you just wait, be sure to let him come to see me today." ”

The maid took the order and left, Su Chen really didn't come back, and when it was time for dinner, the maid came back with Su Chen.

"Where have you been? I don't do my job all day, and seeing that Su Jie is about to enter the imperial study, you are still walking around! You don't want your future yet? As soon as the fifth wife saw Su Chen's head and face, she scolded: "If you don't fight for it, and your father is partial to that cheap species, will there be a good life for our mother and son at that time?!" ”

Su Chen was scolded as soon as he came back, and his face was a little aggrieved: "Mother, I didn't go out to walk around, I, I have an appointment with someone," paused, and he said quickly: "The person who asked me to make an appointment is the second young master of Chen Ge's hometown!" ”

The fifth lady was stunned, "Chen Ge's grandson?" The young master Sun who followed the four princes? ”

Chen Ge is the maternal ancestor of the Four Princes, and one of his companions is Sun Mingchao, the most outstanding second young master among Chen Ge's old grandchildren.

Su Chen nodded solemnly, "Mother, Young Master Chen invited me to eat in the restaurant, and he told me that with my talent and learning, I am not below the fifth brother at all, and it is a pity that I can't enter the national prison......"

It turned out that the second prince had the idea, and the fourth prince also planned to do so!

The fifth wife's mind turned quickly, she had been thinking about letting Su Chen climb and attach the second prince, it was nothing more than that she listened to Mrs. Su's analysis and thought that it was very likely that the emperor would inherit the unification in the future, so she would let Su Chen spare no effort to please Su Jie.

But she ignored that the emperor is not only the second prince and one prince, the fourth prince is backed by Chen Gelao, Chen Guifei in the palace is honored and favored, and the fourth prince is a competitive person, and his talent and character are all well-known.

The second prince is from the queen, and he is from the main palace, and he has a good name, but the queen's maiden family is from an ordinary background, and it is not of much help to the second prince.

The two princes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they can be said to be equal, and it is really hard to say who can inherit the unification in the end and become the final winner.

The fifth wife was embarrassed again.

Su Chen said: "Mother, I think the fourth prince has the support of Chen Gelao, and there may not be no chance, although the second prince has a concubine, but if the emperor wants him, he will not be so favored by the Chen family, this is clearly cultivating the power of the four princes!" Although the second prince occupies the heir, in the harem, the queen is far less favored than Chen Guifei. ”

The fifth wife is right to think so, although the concubine occupies a reputation, but men generally favor concubines, which the fifth wife herself deeply understands, the emperor is just an ordinary man, he really has no selfishness?
