Qiu Yulan looked calm: "How can this work? Let's not say that I have to keep filial piety to my mother now, how can I go out to be a guest, or in the first month of the new year - isn't this adding to the blockage of your house? Besides, my grandfather is still sick on the couch, how can I just want to celebrate the festival by myself, regardless of my grandfather's need to serve the couch? ”

"Niangniang said that the county lord is filial and reasonable." Nijin answered with a smile. Of course, the implication is that Gu Yan and Mrs. Gu are very confused, and they are even negligent in the filial piety period and the need to take care of the seriously ill elders, and they want to pick up people as guests during the New Year?

While speaking, the group had already left the palace gate, and Ni Jin personally helped Qiu Yulan get off the soft sedan chair with Su He.

Gu Yan was sarcastically ridiculed one after another, and the expression under the hat was like frost, but he still had no intention of leaving, standing not far away with his hands in his hands, looking at Qiu Yulan with heavy eyes through the veil.

But Qiu Lulan and Ni Jin didn't take him seriously - Ni Jin knew that Qiu Lulan was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother, and only brought Su He a maid, afraid that she would not be able to go back, so he wanted to get her a carriage to send her now. However, Qiu Yulan's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen the wheel of the carriage in the distance, and Ruan Qingyan, who was dressed in a big coat, ordered the coachman to come this way, so he naturally had to excuse himself.

"Sister, go back, the snow is so heavy, please accompany me for so many walks." Qiu Yulan smiled and quietly stuffed another purse that Ruan Qingyan had prepared for her into her Nijin sleeve.

"That's what a servant should do." Ni Jin secretly pinched it, and found that it was like it was not loaded, and he knew that it must be a silver ticket, and it was an amount that could not be loaded with cash in cash, and he was satisfied, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "The county lord is really polite." ”

They exchanged these few words, Ruan Qingyan also approached, Ni Jin felt that with such a few steps, and the surrounding guards watching, there should be no problem. She is also a face in front of the queen, whether it is Qiu Yulan or Ruan Qingyan, it is not worth her courtesy now-this level of politeness is enough. So Qiu Yulan asked her to go back again, and she turned around and entered the palace gate.

Ni Jin's figure disappeared into the palace gate, Ruan Qingyan came to him, he jumped out of the carriage, first looked at Qiu Yulan's neatly dressed clothes and calm expression, thinking that everything should go well, secretly relieved, and handed over a delicate and small hand-warming copper stove with a smile: "Came out?" Get in the carriage, it's windy here. ”

said that it was not enough, so he quickly untied the big coat on his body and put it on her.

Qiu Yulan was about to speak, when Gu Yan next to him suddenly said, "This is Ruan Gongzi?" ”

"Student Ruan Qingyan, dare to ask the name of the honorable driver?" Ruan Qingyan saw Gu Yan when he came, but because he saw that Qiu Yulan only greeted the palace maid who sent her out for a while, he ignored Gu Yan, he only said that the two didn't know each other, of course, he didn't care about his cousin first, so where did he take the initiative to talk?

Now that Gu Yan took the initiative to speak, seeing that he was dressed and the attendants behind him knew that his origin was extraordinary, Ruan Qingyan would naturally not be rude.

Gu Yan looked at him and smiled meaningfully: "Young Master Ruan is really a talent!" ”

Autumn Trolling Lan changed color when she heard the words!

Gu Yan was not finished, and then introduced himself, "In Xia Gu Yan, my father is the king of Guangyang." ”

As the nephew of the Queen Mother, Gu Yan's name can be said to be thunderous among the nobles in Beijing. I have a big plan, and I don't even hesitate to ask for a name. The prostitute threaded the needle to get to know the powerful Ruan Qingyan, of course, he would not be unaware.

Especially Ruan Qingyan analyzed with Qiu Yulan before, thinking that his cousin entered the palace this time to vote for the queen mother's side, although it was strange why his cousin didn't pay attention to Gu Yan, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and gave his hand as a courtesy: "It turned out to be the prince of Guangyang in person, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Before he finished speaking, his sleeve was pulled by Qiu Yulan: "Cousin, my grandfather must be looking forward to us going back at home!" Let's hurry up, shall we? ”

Ruan Qingyan was stunned - but with his city government, such a hint was enough, and he gave up his plan to chat with Gu Yan a few more words at the moment, and politely and distantly: "My grandfather at home is worried about it, I don't dare to delay, and I hope the prince will forgive me!" ”

"It's okay." Gu Yan was also very polite, and under the veil, he smiled strangely, "Go ahead...... Speaking of which General Ruan is very old, it is really a blessing to have such a graceful and jade-like heir grandson as Ruan Gongzi. It's just that I don't know why there is often gloom between Ruan Gongzi's eyebrows? It's amazing...... It's distressing! ”

The more he praised Ruan Qingyan's appearance, the more ugly Qiu Yulan's face became, and now he even said the word "distressed", it was simply creepy! almost dragged Ruan Qingyan into the carriage!

"What's wrong?" Before the carriage left the palace gate, the curtain was lifted to see that there was no one next to the car, Ruan Qingyan had already asked anxiously, "That Gu Yan, isn't he the queen mother's nephew?" ”

Qiu Yulan sighed: "The Queen Mother asked Deng Yi to bring people last night, and she almost killed me and Su He!" As he spoke, Su He had already ripped off the silk handkerchief around his neck, revealing shocking bruises!

Ruan Qingyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he grabbed Qiu Yulan's wrist!

Qiu Yulan was startled by his sudden movements, and looked at him in shock, but saw that his expression was solemn, and his two fingers were on the pulse gate for a moment, before he sighed lightly and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Qiu Yulan knew that people who read books basically knew some medical skills, and she was not surprised that he judged that his body was okay with a pulse he gave him, and said, "So I can only go to the queen." ”

Ruan Qingyan's expression was relieved, and he nodded: "It's actually good to choose Empress Jiang, better than Empress Dowager Gu." ”

Qiu Yulan sighed: "But cousin, you may be cheated by me!" ”

"You mean Gu Yan?" Ruan Qingyan snorted, "Isn't there a queen here?" How could it be so easy for him to do something openly? What's more, being a brother also has some self-preservation. ”

Looking at the calm Ruan Qingyan, Qiu Yulan was silent for a moment, and finally said the words: "Gu Yan, he ...... Good masculine style! What he just said ......"

Gu Yan eats both men and women, loves each other with his cousin, and is like a husband and wife, which is not a secret in Beijing - otherwise even Zhou's mother would not know.

Ruan Qingyan is handsome, with an elegant temperament with melancholy, and his identity is the heir of the down-and-out general's mansion, this configuration has to put aside his previous life, and there are not too many people who raise his arms and shout that he and Gu Yan must be together.

Although there are not so many crazy guys in this world, with Gu Yan's power, he doesn't really have to do anything to Ruan Qingyan at all, as long as he privately hints that there is an ambiguity between the two, it is enough to destroy Ruan Qingyan!

Especially now that the Ruan family is in ruin, if you think about the worst, maybe some people will suspect that Ruan Qingyan wants to rely on his beauty to upside down Gu Yan!

Even if Ruan Qingyan has only learned and has this kind of reputation, no matter how well he writes the article during the scientific examination, it will leave a bad impression on the examiner, is there any hope of winning the list? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he wins the list, what about the future? Leaving such a stain, it is a big stumbling block in the career!

Gu Yan's hand is really vicious!

Qiu Yulan was in a heavy mood, Ruan Qingyan's cousin is not only the relative she can rely on the most at present, these days, the other party has been meticulous care and help, even if there are still some doubts, in the end, she has saved her feelings.

Now because of himself, his cousin, who has a good future, is facing the threat of ruin, and when he thinks about it, he can't wait to kill the surnamed Gu directly at the palace gate!

It was Ruan Qingyan who comforted her with a calm demeanor: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." Since Gu Yan's good male style is not an unknown secret, he just puts down the shelf of the world and talks nonsense, what can he really do to me? At most, there are some bad things in the market. I don't live in the market! ”

"But the scientific expedition ......" Qiu Yulan's words were interrupted by him: "Lord Xue has always been known for being fair and strict!" Otherwise, how could it be neutral in the struggle for power for so many years? Is it easy for him to be deceived? After the scientific examination, he became his protégé, even if it is Gu Yan, if you want to slander me, you have to weigh it! ”

This is the truth, Xue Chang, as an important minister in the court, is the second queen of the court, of course, he hopes to win him over. And he has been able to be neutral for many years, in addition to sufficient status and skill, his own character will definitely not have major flaws. Otherwise, he would have been caught and had to go into the water - in a situation of equal strength, the Neutral Party has always been the most difficult thing to do, and it is impossible to get mixed up without real skills.

Since this is the case, then his protégé, of course, Gu Yan's side must not be offended, otherwise Xue Chang's face will be cut, in case he is forced to go to Empress Jiang's side - Empress Dowager Gu absolutely does not want and does not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Of course, this kind of beautiful idea must have a premise, that is, Ruan Qingyan can withstand all the open knives and hidden guns of Gu Yan between now and Chunqiu, and the title of the gold list, and it is best to be appreciated by Xue Chang.

The problem is that Xue Chang is fair and strict, and he is upright, but what he can take care of is in the examination room. With the power of the Guangyang Palace, Ruan Qingyan's power is simply unbearable compared to them. Xue Chang managed the examination room tightly, if Ruan Qingyan couldn't enter the examination room, it would be all for nothing.

There are still more than two months to go until spring......

Qiu Yulan suggested: "Cousin, don't be in the General's Mansion first, go somewhere else to study quietly for a few days?" "I can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide.

But Ruan Qingyan shook his head: "Grandfather, how can he leave someone to take care of him?" "In private, he can not take over the care of General Ruan, anyway, no one outside knows, but he must stay in the General's Mansion!

Because General Ruan now has Ruan Qingyan as an heir under his knees, he wants to ignore his grandfather for the sake of scientific research, once this kind of great unfilial piety is exposed, then even if he wins the Jinshi, he will definitely be cut off - it is useless to be an official!

"I'll take care of it!" Qiu Yulan said, "I have made some trouble for the Xihe Palace, and I can't go back rashly now......"

Before she finished speaking, the carriage stopped, followed by a cold voice sounding outside the car: "Five county lords, the little one can be regarded as waiting for you, something has happened in the palace, you should go back quickly!" ”

Qiu Yulan and Ruan Qingyan frowned at the same time, although this voice was not unfamiliar to them, but when they heard the tone, they knew that it was a subordinate of Xihe Palace-it was really said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, which also indicated that Qiu Yulan thought that Xihe Wangfu was now blind thinking that he had no time to take him back.

She motioned to Dong Ran to lift the curtain a little, and saw a thirty-year-old steward, leading a horse, standing beside the carriage with a gloomy face, and said lukewarmly: "The prince and the princess are waiting for you, please do well, go back with the little one-this Chinese New Year, although General Ruan is lonely there, but your surname is Qiu, you have to take care of the Qiu family first, right?" ”
