Because Di Yan was not feeling well, Li Zhen stayed in Chang'an for another three days, and it was not until eight days later that they returned to Luoyang.

"Brother Li, did you go to the Ministry of War to vote?"

As soon as he entered Luoyang City, Di Yan asked Li Zhen worriedly, it is now the end of October, and the registration for martial arts should be over, why have you never heard him talk about it?

Compared with the pride and ambition when he left Dunhuang, Li Zhen's heart to participate in the martial arts examination has been much lighter, so what if he is admitted to the martial arts? It is nothing more than being a low-level officer, and if he has no connections, he will not be able to get ahead in his life.

Especially now that he has seen a lot of the world, he has realized how naïve he was half a year ago, bent on competing for the martial arts quota.

After experiencing so many things, he realized that there is more than one path in life, and martial arts is precisely the stupidest road, which will fix his future to death.

Although he no longer has much interest in martial arts, his eldest sister Li Quan has always been keen on the imperial examination and must ask him to participate in the martial arts, which makes Li Zhen very troubled.

Now that even Di Yan asked about it, Li Zhen had to say lazily: "I have already signed up, and I asked to go to Xingyang for a few months for training, I entrusted Gao Yanfu's relationship, and the training will be exempted, and I will directly participate in the military department in February next year." ”

"That's good, I thought you forgot about it. ”

At this time, Li Zhen remembered something, "Where do you live in Luoyang?"

Di Yan gave him a blank look, "My home is in Luoyang, where do you think I will live?"

Li Zhen smiled dumbly, he was really confused, he thought that Di Yan had moved to Pengze County, and he still wanted to find an inn for her, but he forgot that her home was in Luoyang.

"Then I'll send you back first, and then go back to the store and get a good night's sleep. ”

Since he learned that the Shadow Relic Set had nothing to do with the Broken Tan Female Corpse Case, his heart was relieved, and Shangguan Wan'er seemed to know the real culprit of the Broken Tan Case, and it was estimated that it involved the power struggle of the imperial court, so it was better for him not to get involved too much.

In front of Di's Mansion in Anye Fang, Li Zhen and Di Yan said goodbye and returned directly to Nanshi, and just before arriving at the wine shop, they happened to meet their eldest sister Li Quan.

"Sister!"

Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, waved to the eldest sister and said with a smile: "Your brother is back, business is not bad!"

Li Quan saw his brother, there was a burst of ecstasy in his eyes, and then the ecstasy disappeared, and his face suddenly became gloomy, this is the precursor of the coming storm, when Li Zhen approached, she grabbed Li Zhen's ear, from childhood to adulthood, this trick has not been tried and tested.

"Stinky boy, you actually ran out for half a month, do you want me to worry about death?"

Although she was scolding angrily, Li Quan was so excited that tears were about to fall, she was afraid that something had happened to her brother, and now he finally came back safely.

Li Quan cried with joy in his heart, but he hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, she did it mercilessly, Li Zhen was annoyed and embarrassed by her, "Sister, let go!"

When the scene of the street student attracted the sideways glances of many people around, and some guys from the wine shop also covered their mouths and snickered, Li Quan suddenly thought that his brother was already old and had to save some face for him, so he let go of his hand.

"Let me go into the store, you have to give me an honest explanation, you don't say goodbye, where did you run in the past half a month?"

Li Zhen said angrily: "Didn't I leave you a letter? ”

"Why didn't I see any letter?"

Li Zhen didn't believe it, walked into the store quickly, rummaged through the counter, and soon, he found the letter he left for his eldest sister from the glove box, the letter had not even been opened, and was thrown directly into the glove box by Li Quan.

"I don't know what it is!" he slapped the letter on the counter and glared at his eldest sister.

Li Zhen was extremely annoyed, obviously left a letter for her, but she didn't read it herself, not saying that she didn't leave a letter, she twisted her ears as soon as she met, and regarded herself as a seven or eight-year-old naughty boy.

Li Quan scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's the eldest sister who was too busy to notice, I twisted my Ah Zhen just now, and the eldest sister rubbed it for you." ”

She wanted to rub Li Zhen's ears, but the more Li Zhen thought about it, the more angry she became, blocked her hand, and ran to the attic to clean up her things.

When Li Quan saw him carrying his bag down, he immediately panicked and hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going?"

Li Zhen said with a calm face: "I'll go to the guest house to save myself from looking at your face all day long." ”

Li Quan was panicked and anxious, and grabbed his bag and didn't let go, "Sister blames you, she has already apologized to you, what else do you want?"

Li Zhen ignored her and walked towards the shop, Li Quan took his hand again, and begged: "Ah Zhen, don't go, my sister promises not to twist your ears again." ”

Li Zhen sighed, "Sister, I can't live with you all the time! I'm going to move out sooner or later, so you let me go! I'll come to see you every once in a while." ”

Li Quan saw that she couldn't persuade her brother, she was even more anxious, and she had nothing to do, so she fell on the door and cried.

Li Zhen rarely saw his eldest sister crying, thinking that his eldest sister had brought him up since he was a child, and he was his only relative, his heart suddenly softened, and the dissatisfaction in his stomach disappeared, so he had to say helplessly: "As long as you promise not to stretch out your hand and beat indiscriminately, I will live with you for another two years." ”

"Sister promised not to beat you!"

Li Quan choked up and said, even more sad, lying on his brother's shoulder and whimpering and crying, Li Zhen was also sentimental, and persuaded her in a low voice: "Sister, don't cry, guys look at the joke!"

Li Quan hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said to Li Zhen with red eyes: "Sister, forget to tell you, we bought a new house, it's next door to Fushanfang, or the house introduced by Qiu Niang, the room that Auntie gave you has been cleaned up, so I'll take you over." ”

"Sister, is it very fast! It's only been less than half a month, and the house has been bought?"

Li Quan was a little embarrassed and said: "It's only been half a month, I've been looking at the house for a few months, but I didn't have any money at that time, and I looked at it in vain. ”

Li Quan rode a donkey and followed his brother slowly, and Li Zhen asked with a smile: "How much did my sister spend to buy a house?"

"The other party asked for 1,200 yuan, and bargained, the last thousand guan deal, covering an area of about four acres of land, only renovated last year, if it is in the Xiuye workshop, four acres of houses at least 2,000 yuan, this side of the south market, can not afford to sell the price. ”

"I heard that the house in Luoshuibei is only six hundred, which is cheaper, why doesn't my sister consider it?"

"Phew, I don't want even if it's 300 runs, in a place like Luoshui North, you will encounter ghosts in broad daylight, and your brother-in-law will become an official in the future, and you won't be ashamed to say that your home is in Luoshui North!"

Li Zhen thought of the house that Jiuzhi bought, it seemed to be in Guiyifang on the north bank of Luoshui, and he bought a four-acre house for 600 guan, which was very cheap.

After a few months of separation, Li Zhen also misses the fat man a little, and I don't know when he will come back?

After a short time, the siblings arrived at the new house in Fushan Fang, Li Zhen liked this house at first sight, the house is quiet, there are two luxuriant locust trees in front of the gate, surrounded by a zhang high wall, and several craftsmen are painting the walls with lime.

Although the house is not big, it looks very square, behind it is a small river with weeping willows on both sides, the scenery is beautiful, the small river has been flowing into Luoshui, although it is early winter, the leaves are withering, full of gloom, but you can imagine the green in spring.

"Well, my sister has a good eye!" Li Quan smiled proudly.

"Not bad!"

Li Zhen praised repeatedly: "It's a bit like our old Dunhuang house, it looks like home." ”

"Then you still want to move out!"

Li Quan couldn't help but wanted to hit him hard, but as soon as he raised his hand, he thought of his promise, rubbed his hand in the air twice, and then put it down.

"Come on!"

Although Li Zhen dodged this beating, he also knew that the old sister's promise never counted, it would last for three days at most, and sooner or later she would repeat the same behavior, if she didn't beat herself a few times, she would not be his eldest sister.

He had no choice but to lament in his heart, led the horse and followed Li Quan into the gate, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a young lady about fifteen or sixteen years old greeted her, only to see her combing a round snail bun, wearing a red jacket, wearing a green cloth skirt, a long round face, and her skin was white.

"Madame is back!"

Xiao Niang's voice was very good, and her movements were also sharp, and she stepped forward to take the package in Li Quan's hand.

Li Zhen was stunned, who is this?

Li Quan seemed to like this little lady very much, and said with a smile: "Little pity, this is what I told you about Ah Zhen, you can just call him Gongzi in the future." ”

The little lady was very well-behaved and stepped forward and saluted, "Little mercy see the childe!"

Li Zhen immediately guessed that this must be the little maid bought by the eldest sister, this little lady is very sweet and will be likable.

Li Zhen nodded, but the little lady secretly looked at Li Zhen, and saw that he was tall and big, and he was talented, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly led Li Quan's donkey to the livestock house.

Li Quan looked at her back and smiled: "Xiao Lian is also from our Shazhou, surnamed Jiang, both parents died, was abducted to Luoyang by human traffickers, and was almost sold to Qinglou, I happened to be met, I saw that she was pitiful, so I bought her and served my aunt, which also saved me from worry." ”

"Is Auntie there?"

She probably went to Koboji Temple, which is near Nanshi, where she spends most of the day and only sees her at night. ”

At this time, Li Quan suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I'll tell you about your brother-in-law later, I'll take you to herd the horse first, and then look at your room." ”

Li Quan took his brother to set up the horses, and took him to his own room, Li Quan thought very well for his brother, of course, not to let him sleep in the attic, but to give him the east courtyard, a small courtyard, planted with plum and apricot trees, facing three rooms.

"This is your bedroom!"

Li Quan pushed open a room, "The bed, bedding, cabinets, and wardboxes are all there, and next door is your study, read me well, don't mess around all day, and there is a room that is temporarily empty, and your fox friends can live here." ”

Li Zhen saw that the eldest sister was very thoughtful for herself, and her heart was also moved, he knew that the eldest sister was a knife mouth and a tofu heart, although she usually likes to beat herself, but she loves herself meticulously.

"Thank you, sister!" Li Zhen said in a low voice.

Li Quan glared at him fiercely, "You muddy boy, I don't know what to do!"

Li Quan scolded him a few words, asked him to put down his things, and took him to the main hall again, at this time, Xiao Lian brought them hot tea.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea, and I'll tell you about your brother-in-law. ”

Li Zhen sat down, took a sip of tea and asked, "Has my brother-in-law gone to Gaofu?"

"That's what I'm going to say, your brother-in-law is no longer in Gaofu now. ”

Li Zhen was stunned, what's going on?

"Sister, what's wrong?" asked Li Zhen with some concern.

"Actually, it's also a good thing, it seems that the day before yesterday! Your brother-in-law told me that King Liang came to visit Gaofujun, and specially asked your brother-in-law to be a staff member, and gave him a month's salary, and promised him a career. ”

"Wait!"

Li Zhen suddenly felt wrong, he thought at first that Gao Yanfu recommended his brother-in-law to Wu Sansi, but soon heard that it seemed that it had nothing to do with Gao Yanfu, and it was Wu Sansi who came to the door by himself.

"Brother-in-law doesn't teach Colliers calligraphy anymore?"

"It seems that he is still teaching! Go every five days, your brother-in-law doesn't want to be the master of the little eunuch, he says that he will be looked down upon. ”

Li Zhen's brows furrowed, what is going on? How could Wu Sansi come to the door to ask for his brother-in-law, Li Zhen's heart turned, and he suddenly reacted, could it be Shangguan Wan'er?
