Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen arrived at Fang's mansion, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Fang Daru's son, who greeted him at the door. Seeing the two get out of the carriage, Fang Daru's son came over with a smile and saluted Xiao Huai.

People are sophisticated, as long as they are not particularly pedantic people, they basically understand. Xiao Huai captured the Rouli Kingdom, and while the strength of the Northwest Army increased greatly, its prestige became more stable. Then there is the relationship network of the Dingguo Mansion in the DPRK, and Xiao Huai can be described as hot in Shangjing.

Although the emperor is jealous of him, he is now meritorious, and he has no handle to be caught by the emperor, and the emperor can't find a reason to kill him. The courtiers saw this clearly, and besides, the emperor was getting older, and seeing that his body was getting worse day by day, no one knew what would happen in the future.

Therefore, the courtiers are still very willing to make friends with Xiao Huai. Although Fang Daru is engaged in learning, as long as he is in the world, if he wants to make himself and his family better and better, he can't completely give up with power. Therefore, knowing that Xiao Huai was coming over today, Fang Daru asked his son to greet him at the door early.

After a few words of greeting, Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen followed Fang Daru's son into the front hall, and Fang Daru was waiting for them. After meeting, there was another greeting, and then Fang Daru began to teach Xiao Yuchen's knowledge. asked a few questions, Xiao Yuchen answered them fluently, and had quite insights.

Fang Daru laughed when he heard this, "There should be no problem in next year's Spring Festival, as for what ranking you can get, it depends on.... Luck. ”

If Xiao Yuchen's grades are good, what the final result of the palace exam will be depends on the emperor's intentions.

"I just do my best." Xiao Yuchen said.

Since knowing that his father did not die, his whole person has been much more relaxed. Before, the goal he gave himself was to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the ranking could not be low.

If his father is gone, although he can attack the knighthood, the title does not equal power. Only if he is good enough can he have a place in the court in the future.

But now that his father is not dead, as his mother said, the imperial examination is just the icing on the cake for him. He tried his best to study for the exam, and he was less nervous about the result.

I have to say, this is the difference between having a good dad and not having a dad.

After staying in Fang Da Confucianism for a while, Xiao Huai took Xiao Yuchen to say goodbye, and then the two rushed to Qi Mansion again. In fact, Xiao Huai is quite strange, Qi Liangsheng used to be very bad with Xiao Huai, why did he accept Xiao Yuchen as an apprentice later? He didn't think it was Tang Guogong's role, after all, Xiao Yuchen already had a famous teacher named Fang Daru.

At this moment, Xiao Yuchen suddenly said, "Sir, he is actually quite good. ”

He knew that Xiao Huai and Qi Liangsheng had not dealt with each other before, and he was afraid that it would be the same now. He was quite worried that the two would meet for a while, and they would give each other a cold face.

Xiao Huai glanced at him and asked, "There was some discord between my father and Lord Qi before, how did he accept you as an apprentice?" ”

"It was arranged by my mother." Xiao Yuchen said: "My mother thinks that I should still have a master who has experience in scientific research and can guide me in the court in the future, so she put my husband's second son by my side to teach, and then proposed to my husband to let him accept me as an apprentice." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Huai sighed and said, "Your mother has good intentions! ”

Xiao Yuchen pursed her lips and said, "In the past few years of your absence, my mother has worked very hard. You said that there are some problems between you and your mother, and I won't ask you if you can't say it, but please ask my father to be more considerate of my mother. ”

Xiao Huai nodded seriously, "Don't worry." ”

When he arrived at the Qi Mansion while talking, he got out of the carriage, and saw the housekeeper of the Qi Mansion coming over with a smile on his face, and then saluted: "The slave has seen Dingguo Gong and Xiao Shizi." ”

Xiao Huai waved his hand to get him up, and then followed him to the front hall. The housekeeper smiled and invited the two to sit down, and after a while, Qi Liangsheng came over. Xiao Huai got up to greet him, Qi Liangsheng responded calmly, and then the two ignored each other.

Qi Liangsheng began to ask Xiao Yuchen about his training, and then began to teach him knowledge. Xiao Huai sat aside and drank tea quietly.

He is not the real Xiao Huai, there is no grudge between him and Qi Liangsheng, and Qi Liangsheng is the master of his eldest son, he originally wanted to have a good conversation with Qi Liangsheng. But obviously Qi Liangsheng didn't like him very much, although he didn't show dislike for himself on his face, but some small actions revealed that he didn't like him everywhere.

Naturally, he won't do anything about a hot face sticking to a cold ass. Besides, although Qi Liangsheng taught his son, his wife also taught Qi Liangsheng's son, and he didn't owe Qi Liangsheng anything in this regard.

And after Qi Liangsheng asked Xiao Yuchen some questions, he said, "Come back tomorrow, I'll tell you something about the imperial examination." I have nothing to do today, so I will not leave you behind. ”

He really didn't want to see Xiao Huai.

Everyone gave an eviction order, Xiao Huai stood up and bowed his hand to Qi Liangsheng to say goodbye, Qi Liangsheng also bowed his hand to him with a faint face, and then asked the housekeeper to send their father and son away.

Xiao Yuchen was quite puzzled, Mr. was not like this before, every time he came before, he was kind and pleasant, did he really have an enmity with his father? But I haven't heard of it!

Besides, if the two really have an enmity, why are they in the same camp in the court?

I really don't understand.

The father and son went home, and it was almost time for lunch, so the two went to Shi'an Garden together. When Tang Shuyi saw them, he was still a little surprised. It's all time for dinner, and Qi Liangsheng didn't leave them for lunch.

Thinking of Qi Liangsheng's thoughts about himself before, Tang Shuyi really couldn't cry or laugh.

After a while, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuming also came over, and the family had lunch together. After eating, the three brothers and sisters all left, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai were left in the small flower hall.

After taking a sip of tea, Tang Shuyi said: "Jing Yi came today, it was the concubine who asked him to ask me when I was going to incense and want to be together." I said I'd go in two days, and then Grandpa Guo would be with me. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Huai arched his hand at him and said, "Mrs. Xie." ”

Tang Shuyi waved his hand, "Grandpa Guo doesn't have to be so polite in the future, you and I can meet in this way, it can be regarded as fate, and we should help each other." ”

Xiao Huai smiled, "What Madam said is that if there is anything in the future, Madame will directly order me." ”

Tang Shuyi glanced at him and hooked his lips, he was really a very easy person to get along with. She said again: "In the afternoon, Grandpa Guo will take Yuming to the General's Mansion." ”

Speaking of this, she thought for a while and said, "Does Grandpa Guo know that you have some favors with General Xiang?" ”

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, and said very sincerely: "I don't have any memories from before."

Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and then teased, "In this way, your acting skills are still good."

Xiao Huai couldn't help laughing, "Madame is not far behind." ”

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, leaned on the brocade couch and said, "I don't know what specific favors Xiao Huai and General Xiang have, Grandpa Guo will play according to the situation." ”

Xiao Huai nodded, "Okay, it would be best if you could form an alliance with Xiang Tianhe." ”

"It depends on the ability of Grandpa Guo." Tang Shuyi said.

Xiao Huai snorted, "I want to think about it." ”

Tang Shuyi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "General Xiang is a ..... Wife slave. ”

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie reminds." ”
