The night breeze is cool and the moon shines.

Through the white moonlight, Nie Yun could clearly see the simple log-colored plaque above his head, with the word "Shen Fu" written on it.

This was the first time Nie Yun sent Shen Ling'er home, and it was also the first time he saw this mansion.

The mansion is located in the inner city, and it occupies an extremely large area, and a cursory glance should not be much smaller than the Xiao Mansion, but thinking about Elder Shen Dan's status, it is not incomprehensible to have such a mansion.

Nodding slightly, Nie Yun turned around with a smile on his face, "Just send it here, I'll leave first." ”

"Huh!" Shen Ling'er quickly grabbed Nie Yun's sleeve, and her voice was soft: "Won't the master come in and sit?" My grandfather is at home, too. ”

"Uh... Next time. Nie Yun raised his eyes to look at the white bright moon, and scratched his head helplessly: "Don't disturb Elder Shen Dan so late." ”

"Then let's sneak in!" Shen Ling'er said subconsciously.

The corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly... What are you doing when you go home, and why am I going to sneak in...

And Shen Ling'er also seemed to feel a little strange, her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly added: "I mean, you don't have to trouble grandpa." ”

"Forget it." Nie Yun patted his head lightly, shrugged his shoulders "helplessly", and said in a funny tone: "You know, I can't go back too late, otherwise I'll be beaten." ”

The funny movements and helpless tone made Shen Ling'er laugh, and then gently waved her jade arm, bringing up a crisp silver ringtone: "Then, the master will see you tomorrow!" ”

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Nie Yun smiled and nodded, turned around and continued to walk along Vermilion Bird Avenue towards the inner city.

Ling'er's house is also in the inner city, well, it's not too far from Xiao Mansion, and it's too late to walk slowly.

Thinking like this, Nie Yun's footsteps couldn't help but slow down slightly, feeling the cool breeze of Xixi, quietly enjoying the taste of calm, and didn't pay attention to a sight from behind him, closely following his back, until he turned a corner, only to be helpless.

......

Before he could fully enter the courtyard, Nie Yun heard a small laughter.

"Senior sister, Xiao Xue, where did you go to play today? So happy. Nie Yun walked into the courtyard with a smile, sat casually on the only empty stone bench next to the stone table, and at the same time kept moving in his hands, placing plates of pastries "brought" from the eldest princess's desk on the stone table, and said with a smile.

"I attended a banquet today, and I felt that the pastries on it were quite delicious, so I specially packed some for you to taste."

"The matter of the girl's family, what do you do when you ask so much?" Xiao Xue glanced at the plates of delicate pastries on the table, and the corners of her mouth twitched quietly.

I'll just say why there are so many pastries suddenly missing from the table, it turns out that you thief stole them!

"It's delicious." Han Yue gently picked up a piece of white pastry and put it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed, and she glanced at Xiao Xue with bulging cheeks on the side with a smile, and then asked with a smile, "Huh?" How did the junior brother go to the banquet today, didn't you say to go out to play yesterday? ”

"yes, I'm going to the banquet." Nie Yun blinked his eyes, looking like he took it for granted: "By the way, I also brought Ling'er with me, if you don't accompany me, I will have to take my apprentice." ”

I specifically asked my sister if I wanted to go last night, but it turned out that my sister herself said that she was not available, so it has nothing to do with me, right? Nie Yun thought so confidently.

If Han Yue hadn't known from Xiao Xue that a banquet attendee could only bring one friend, he was afraid that he would really be fooled by Nie Yun like this, but he couldn't explain how he knew, so he could only smile "suddenly" when he heard this, and said, "Oh~ Then what kind of banquet are you attending, this pastry feels better than the mung bean shop in the capital." ”

"Qionghua Yan, have you heard of it?" Nie Yun smiled proudly, and before Han Yue could think of what expression to show, he continued: "Your Majesty is holding a young talent today, and it intends to elect a young man in civil and military affairs to prove that the great cadres are far better than in the past. ”

"You mean you're one of the 'heroes' too?" Han Yue glanced at Nie Yun, who was full of smugness, with a smile on his face, and said casually.

"Hehe, it's more than that~" Nie Yun's smile became more and more proud: "You guys guess again." ”

"Hmm~ What else can I do..."Han Yue raised her snow-white chin slightly, and at the same time stretched out a green onion-like jade finger to her lips, "meditating" for a long time, and finally shook her head: "I can't think of it." ”

"yes, I can't think of it." Xiao Xue frowned slightly, and nodded in response.

"Think again, it's easy to guess." Nie Yun continued without giving up.

"I'm tired, I don't want to, I'm ready to sleep." Han Yue stood up as she spoke, stretched her waist lazily, and looked like she was about to go back to the house.

"Hmm... Reasonable. ”

Nie Yun subconsciously stretched out his hands, grabbed one with one hand, and said hurriedly: "Eh, eh, don't, it's only time now, listen to me blow, oh, no, listen to me say a few words before leaving." ”

"Then you can say it." Han Yue yawned, looked back nonchalantly, and then took advantage of Nie Yun's inattention, and suddenly blinked playfully in her right eye.

"Ahem, it's all good to boil." Nie Yun cleared his throat, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sound of "surprise", and a mouthful of saliva stuck in his throat almost choked him to death.

"Ah, I suddenly thought of it." Xiao Xue's red lips opened slightly, and she stretched out a jade finger in an unusually exaggerated manner, and pointed at Nie Yun with a "trembling and trembling" voice: "Xiao Yunzi, you, you won't be one of the young men of civil and military affairs!" ”

Well? Is it so sudden?

"Uh... That's right. Nie Yun nodded a little stunned, and the smug look in his heart quietly dissipated a lot.

Don't guess early, don't guess late, such a stir up, you lose your emotions, really!

Han Yue covered her red lips in surprise: "Eh, I remembered it too!" Little junior brother, wouldn't you be the Qingkui who refined the high-grade spirit pill at the Qionghua banquet and made a splash! ”

Uh-huh???

In the face of the two undisguised and exaggerated acting skills, no matter how dull Nie Yun was, he sensed that something was wrong at this time.

"You..." Nie Yun's sword eyebrows were raised high and low, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "You all know? ”

"Or else!"

The two women laughed and said in unison.

"Ahh

It's been so long... Let me find a crack in the ground and get in!

"Didn't you go to some 'girls' party', how do you know?" Nie Yun said with a dying struggle.

"Senior brother, are you stupid?" Han Yue held back a smile, pretending to pat Nie Yun's shoulder normally, and kept her voice as steady as possible: "The Qionghua banquet is not over yet, and the canonization of the twelve Qingkui emperors has already been announced to the world. ”

"Well, Xiao Yunzi did a good job." Xiao Xue nodded solemnly, and then suddenly burst out laughing: "Originally, I thought that if I wanted to punch you away as a talking point when bragging, I guess I would have to wait five or six years, I can't think of it!" Xiao Yunzi, you are really good, I can say now, I punched a martial arts young man, wow... Hahaha. ”

Nie Yun covered his face with his hands, was silent for a long time, and his voice came out slowly with shame and helplessness.

“... Senior sister, aren't you sleepy, hurry up and go to sleep. ”

"No, I want to hear from you about the Qionghua banquet." Han Yue shook her head, pulled away Nie Yun's palms with a smile, and blinked with a pair of translucent eyes: "I haven't been to such a big scene as the Qionghua Banquet, senior sister, can't you tell me about it?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Xue also stopped laughing at this time, and said on the side: "Xiao Yunzi, I didn't say you, a manly man, the pattern should be big." ”

... Hehe.

Nie Yun raised his eyelids a little tiredly: "What is there to say, isn't it clear what is said on the emperor's list." ”

"Hey, the emperor list roughly talked about who the twelve Qingkui are, what they did, and the rest is gone." Han Yue waved her hand casually.

Thick skin is good after all, Nie Yun let out a long sigh, and then spoke freely again:

"Then that's all I can tell you about." As he spoke, he spread his hands: "The scenery of Donglin Garden is beautiful, but you can't let me say it, right?" ”

"Who's going to listen to this?" Xiao Xue pursed her lips and said with disdain: "Can you tell us something about the people or things you met at the banquet?" ”

The stall of Donglin Garden, no matter how beautiful it is, will always get tired of watching it for more than ten years.

"Especially about some of the big people we don't usually see." Han Yue pursed her lips and hinted.

"Hmm... His Majesty the Emperor is wearing a tassel crown, I can't see it really, as for the others..."Nie Yun touched his chin: "Old Man Qi Gu is quite interesting, and he didn't fight for that Qingkui, and..."

Elder Qigu... The elder of the Alchemy Association is really a big man...

Han Yue and Xiao Xue could only listen to Nie Yun with a little helplessness as they recounted what they already knew, and finally finished talking about Elder Qi Gu, and then suddenly stopped.

"Uh... Gone? The corners of Xiao Xue's mouth twitched.

"Hmm." Nie Yun nodded.

"A Qionghua banquet, you know such a 'big man'? And it's your association? ”

"Hey, no way." Nie Yun shrugged helplessly: "That eldest princess didn't know which nerve was wrong, and suddenly asked me to teach her chess, and after the lecture, she got along with Ling'er again, and didn't let me go, sitting behind the eldest princess, who dared to come to talk to me." ”

Hey? How do you feel that it has cooled down again, it's almost spring, not so much! I guess I'm too tired today, and my ability to keep out the cold has decreased...

"Hehe, the eldest princess is just a small role in your eyes." Through Xiao Xue's fair skin, you can even faintly see the meridians on her neck beating slightly, but she smiled without revealing a smile on her face.

"I didn't mean to boil it, I thought that the 'big guys' you were talking about didn't include people in the royal family." Nie Yun shrugged his shoulders, his tone was casual, but he suddenly felt that the weather had warmed up a little inexplicably...
