Shi Yu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Xia with interest, "What is the reason?" Don't tell me, it's because you can't afford to live in an inn. ”

"It's not, I just made a lot of money, but ......" Jiang Xia's dexterous eyes flickered, and he looked at Shi Yu and said with a smile, "I have a senior brother, he likes beauties very much, and men and women are not taboo." The emperor is good-looking, if I can live with you for a while, the next time I see him, I will be able to brag and brag! ”

The words that sounded like a mixture of truth and falsehood made Shi Yu raise his eyebrows.

However, remembering the other party's sentence just now, "It doesn't look right", she finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

"Yes, I promise you."

This Jiang Xia's gaze always made her feel a little strange, as if she had seen something.

After bandaging and treating the wound, before returning to the palace, Chu Yan seriously thanked Shen Qingshi for his blessing.

"Thank you, Lord Shen, for saving your life."

"No, no, no, Miss Chu is serious, this is what should be done." Shen Qingshi hurriedly waved his hand, "And this is not a life-saving grace." ”

Chu Yan raised his head and looked at Shen Qingshi, "If it weren't for Lord Shen, Chu Yan would definitely not be able to arrive today, for Chu Yan, this is a life-saving grace!" ”

Chu Yan's tone was serious, and his eyes were sincere.

Facing these eyes, Shen Qingshi blushed suddenly.

"Chu, Miss Chu doesn't have to be polite, you have a good rest, in the next day, enter the palace to visit Miss Chu in the next day!"

Saying that, Shen Qingshi's expression was extremely unnatural, and he turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as he took two steps, he remembered that he had forgotten to salute Shi Yu, and hurriedly stopped saluting.

"Your Majesty, Weichen retires!"

After getting Shi Yu's permission, he hurried his steps and walked out of the house without squinting.

"Brother Huang, is there anything urgent Lord Shen here?" Nie Qingsang looked at this situation, "Obviously I have made meritorious contributions and saved people, but how to run away is like hiding debts." ”

Shi Yu's eyes were slightly raised, overflowing with a smile, "I don't know, but ...... There should be no urgency. ”

After all, Shen Qingshi had been waiting here just now until Chu Yan's assessment was over.

The group went out of the house, and Chu Ming got the news and was already waiting at the door.

He and Jing Heng originally went to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, intending to directly and forcibly ask Chu Yan's whereabouts. Later, when he got the news and knew that Chu Yan had been rescued, Chu Ming hurriedly rushed over, while Jing Heng went back to the palace to deal with government affairs first.

After looking up and down carefully, and after making sure that his sister was safe and sound, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry, it's not good for my brother to protect you."

"Brother, how can I blame you for this. If you really want to blame ......" Chu Yan smiled bitterly and didn't say the rest of the words.

After these two times, Nie Qingsang's heart was already full of anger, and he took it unceremoniously and said: "If you want to blame, you should also blame Pingyang Hou, she is so ruthless, and she looks like a father, and the eldest lady of your Hou Mansion, I'm afraid she is indispensable to fan the flames!" ”

Chu Ming's face changed, and his two eyebrows wrinkled together.

Chu Yan was worried that Chu Ming would be dissatisfied with Nie Qingsang because of these words, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, the third princess is all fighting for me, she didn't mean to target her father, she just ......"

"What the third princess said is not wrong." Chu Ming interrupted Chu Yan's words, "Brother Wei has heard about the previous incident, as a father, he is indeed ruthless!" ”

With that, Chu Ming turned around and bowed solemnly to Shi Yu and Nie Qingsang.

"Thank you emperor, thank you third princess, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Yan'er's life would not be guaranteed!"

Nie Qingsang also regretted a little after saying it just now, after all, he scolded his father in front of others, and now when he heard Chu Ming's words, he was relieved in his heart.

"No thanks." said, and added, "This princess is not for you, Chu Yan is a good friend of this princess, and this princess naturally can't watch her have an accident." ”

Chu Ming smiled, "The last general understands. ”

Shi Yu looked at a few people and said: "After this incident, I'm afraid Chu Yan won't be able to return to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, as an elder brother, you may not be angry, but have you thought about what to do next?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the last general has already thought about it." Chu Ming replied, "The last general usually lives in the barracks, so he can't go back." It's just that Yan'er may continue to live in the palace for a while, but it won't be too long, and we will hurry up to find a house, and at that time, we will come out to live alone and no longer go back to Pingyang Houfu. ”

"Single?" Chu Yan was stunned, "Brother, my father values face so much, if you come out to live alone before you get married, it will definitely annoy him, and if it makes people think that you are not on good terms with your father, I am afraid it will also affect you." ”

Chu Ming's eyes were reassured, "Yan'er, he is a father, but even if he is a father, he has to distinguish between right and wrong." Since you have done something wrong, you should bear the consequences, and this is the consequence of the face of the Hou Mansion! As for the impact on the brothers......"

Chu Ming smiled heartily, and his body was full of free and easy youthfulness again.

"Don't worry, even if you don't have the Pingyang Hou Mansion, you can still make contributions by relying on yourself for your brother!"

He only has such a sister, and he must protect her!

……

The next day, the Ministry of Household announced the list of selected candidates for the first round.

Although Chu Yan was not in good shape, he still achieved the twelfth place and successfully entered the second round.

And what is somewhat surprising is that the first place this time is Jiang Xia.

Shi Yu also asked people to ask about the household department, Jiang Xia not only ranked first, but also the results were unbeatable, and the answer to the exam paper was unanimously praised by several examiners of the household department.

When Shi Yu sent someone to tell Jiang Xia the good news, she was nesting in the Tai Hospital, selling her bottles and cans to a group of Tai doctors.

returned to Hanguang Palace, and she did not forget to do the business to Shi Yu and Nie Qingsang.

"The emperor and the third prince don't want to buy some? All kinds of poisons and all kinds of antidote pills are available, as well as different flavors. For example, this one, which tastes like jelly beans, and this one, which is sour and more appetizing than hawthorn......"

"Where did you get all this medicine?" Nie Qingsang was curious, "Are you all worthy of yourself?" ”

"No, I don't know how to heal." Jiang Xia waved his hand, "It's all stolen from my senior brother, if you want it, I can give you a ninety-eight discount!" ”

"Your senior brother is studying medicine?" Nie Qingsang asked.

"That's right, his medical skills are very high, and the medicine he dispenses is completely trustworthy!"

"Since it's your senior brother and he studies medicine, what are you studying?" Shi Yu looked at Jiang Xia, "You can't learn to do business, right?" ”

"It's not, making money is just my hobby, I originally learned to tell hexagrams, but it's not easy to be a god stick these days, and I can't make money!"

Fortune telling?

Shi Yu's eyebrows rose slightly.

"So what did you see in my face that day?"

Jiang Xia nodded, and then asked with interest, "Does the emperor want to know?" ”

"How much?" Shi Yu asked rhetorically.

"The emperor is really on the road!" Jiang Xia gave Shi Yu a thumbs up, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it only costs eight hundred and eighty-eight taels, it's worth the money, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”

Shi Yu laughed and bargained: "For the sake of me letting you live in the palace, can it be cheaper?" ”

"How much can the emperor give?"

Shi Yu made an eight-eight gesture.

"Eight hundred taels?" Jiang Xia frowned, "This little bit is too much......

"No, I mean, eight taels!"

Jiang Xia: "......"
