"The sixteenth of this month is the king's birthday, do you know the rules of Zhongzhou?" He would ask this, but it made Chu Jingxuan a little surprised, did he see that he was not from Zhongzhou?

Looking at his expression, he knew that his guess was correct, and the one in front of him was not from Zhongzhou, but this had nothing to do with him, and the old gentleman said to himself: "Various competitions will be held on Wang Shouchen, for the celebration of his birthday, but also for the selection of talents, and the winner can get a chance to make a wish to Wang." Because of this, there have been more outsiders in the Imperial City recently, so the guards will also be strengthened, so you'd better not run around lately. ”

Chu Jingxuan nodded, this is a good idea, if he makes a big show at the birthday banquet of the king of Zhongzhou, his subordinates will definitely be able to see him as well.

But the same people can also see him, which is a bit dangerous, Chu Jingxuan is not an impulsive person, not to mention that he has nothing to lose now, he must consider the consequences of doing so.

Zhongzhou is full of talents, and it is full of difficulties to win, and it is also full of dangers, but if he wants to shrink in this small courtyard for a lifetime, it is really not his style, even if he himself wears out his fighting spirit, the old gentleman may not agree, he and Xiaotong live well, and there is an endless stream of people who come to please him every day, and it is really troublesome to have such a person.

"What do you think?" The old gentleman was not in a hurry to let him return, he could see that Chu Jingxuan was not an ordinary person, since he appeared in front of him covered with injuries, if he did this, his enemies were afraid that they could also be seen, there were gains and losses, he chose it himself.

Chu Jingxuan nodded, "This is indeed a good idea." ”

"I must remind you again, if you stand on the stage, you can see more than your friends, and when the time comes, we will not be able to help you."

"I know, thank you, sir."

The old gentleman stood up, turned around and walked into the house, took out another bottle of plaster and handed it over, "Your injuries are almost healed, but since it is a competition, it is better to be careful if you have to dance with knives and guns." ”

Chu Jingshuo took the plaster gratefully, but the little boy pouted, "I cut my hand last time I was cooking and wanted Mr. to give it some, but he still refused, so he gave a whole bottle at once, Mr. is so eccentric." ”

The old man bent down and leaned closer and said, "Who told you not to give up your seat to me just now, you deserve it." ”

The boy snorted and jumped off the stone bench, turning his head to run out.

Looking at his distant back, Chu Jingshuo was secretly calculating the days, no matter how fast Tianyue's people were, it would take a few days before they could come over, before that, he made a name for himself, found his subordinates, and discussed the next things with them later.

Here he knows about this, it makes no sense that Chu Muhan and Yun Jinglan will not know, the guards of the imperial city have become more and more strict recently, outsiders like them have been interrogated several times, fortunately, Chu Muhan had the foresight to rent such a mansion, and the landlord had to do them some favors during interrogation, saying that it was his distant relative, and the owner of this courtyard was also a figure with a head and face in the imperial city, and with him as a guarantee, the guards did not embarrass them.

Those who stayed at the inn were not so lucky, and had to check every three or five days.

There was such a big commotion, it was difficult to make people think about it, Yun Jinglan pulled the owner of the house to inquire about the matter, just finished the guard, said that the relatives could not turn around and leave, in order not to let the outside people suspect, the master and his wife had to sit in the living room for a while.

Shion brought them tea and desserts, and her craftsmanship was obvious to all, so she naturally won the favor of her wife, and begged Shion to teach her how to do it.

Yun Jinglan made a look at Ziyuan, and then agreed to Madame's request, and the two took Madame to the kitchen together.

Yun Jinglan and his wife stood aside, watching Ziyuan's movements and chatting over and over again.

"We were fine when we first came, why are we so strict all of a sudden?"

Madame looked at Ziyuan with blank eyes, and didn't look back: "It's not because the king's birthday is coming, you don't know that our king, you don't know, there is a competition every birthday, so there are a lot of people who come around to compete, and they are mixed, so they have to waste a little more thought, these guards are also pitiful, they haven't had a good rest these days, patrolling from morning to night, my son is also a member of the escort team, and I haven't seen him for several days." ”

It turned out to be the birthday of the king of Zhongzhou, but listening to his wife say this, it seems that there is a different way to celebrate his birthday? Yun Jinglan was a little hesitant, not knowing how to ask so as not to look like an outsider.

She sighed, "We came from a small place, and we don't even know that there is such a rule, can Madame talk to me carefully?" It seems to be quite interesting. ”

This lady was rarely willing to look at her, and when it came to gossip, who didn't bother, "What's so difficult about this, I told me that this matter has something to do with a saint." ”

"Really?" Yun Jinglan was slightly surprised, and the lady looked left and right to make sure that there were no outsiders around and said mysteriously to her, "It is said that the king was very infatuated with this holy woman back then, and she proposed this way of celebration, one is to cheer up the king, and the other can select talents for Zhongzhou, at the beginning, for such extravagant and wasteful behavior, the ministers all expressed their opposition, and the king did it under pressure for a year, and the consequences really found a lot of talents for the imperial court, these ministers didn't say anything, but the attitude towards the holy woman was not very friendly, Later, this saint and the others secretly knotted and fled from Zhongzhou, originally thought that the king would not hold the competition again, but he still insisted on it for so many years, and he still remembered the holy queen. ”

It turns out that there is such a thing, Yun Jinglan was also embarrassed when he heard it, because it was a woman, even if it was a holy woman, it seemed that such a proposal was just a bewitching and confusing lord at the time, but Jia Lian was very pitiful, her suggestion was originally for the benefit of Zhongzhou, but because of her peachy rumors with the king of Zhongzhou, she was rejected by everyone.

"Then this holy woman is also quite pitiful, I heard that no one is allowed to mention her in the king now."

"Not really." Madame nodded approvingly, "But the birthday is also a good thing in the end, and when the time comes, all the people will be able to meet the king, and it will also be a rare opportunity for us ordinary people." ”

It's also a good opportunity for her, Yun Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, "Madame is right, I haven't met the king yet, you have to take me to see it then." ”

"That's easy to say."
