"Have something important to deal with? Why did you leave without even a glass of wine?" Senior Chen frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Senior Chen was silent for a moment, put away the letter, and turned to leave.

Today is the 70th birthday of Scholar Chen, and there is a lot of traffic in front of Chen's Mansion, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries and dignitaries who come to celebrate his birthday.

These dignitaries were surprised to find that there were five unknown white-clothed people who appeared on the birthday of Scholar Chen, and the granddaughter of Scholar Chen had been by the side of these five white-clothed people, talking and laughing with the five people, which made the young talents who came to congratulate him jealous.

Jealousy is jealousy, these young talents in Dengzhou have no way to take Chen Qiusheng's four people, although they also have some talents, but compared with Chen Qiusheng's four people, they are still much worse.

Wang Changsheng rarely spoke, and others didn't bother to talk to him, Zhao Qianqian had already received Wang Changsheng's instructions, so he didn't talk to Wang Changsheng very interestingly, but just talked about poetry and poetry with Chen Qiusheng and the four of them.

It is rare to have a chance to perform, of course Chen Qiusheng and the four of them will not let it go, or chant poems, or make pairs, and the words of the sages will come as soon as they open their mouths.

Most of Wang Changsheng's table are young people, and what they discuss is only poetry and songs.

The guests at the other tables were either wealthy businessmen and celebrities or high-ranking officials in important positions, discussing either business dealings or imperial decrees.

Although the voices of these people were very small, their conversation still fell into Wang Changsheng's ears word for word.

From the conversation of these people, Wang Changsheng overheard a rumor that the reason why the government did not allow other ships to sail on the river was because there was an evil Jiao somewhere in the Bailong River, and the evil Jiao controlled the river and flooded many houses.

"Evil Jiao?" Wang Changsheng heard this, and suddenly realized, he said how to be good, the government did not allow ships other than official ships to sail on the river, it turned out to be an evil Jiao.

For the rumor of the evil Jiao, these businessmen who traveled south and north did not believe it, but Wang Changsheng was convinced that the Bailongjiang River spanned several states and counties, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and it was not strange that an evil Jiao demon beast appeared.

Zhao Qianqian stayed outside Tingyuxuan early in the morning, personally brought Wang Changsheng and a few people to the birthday banquet, and handed Wang Changsheng a fake road guide, so that Wang Changsheng could avoid the interrogation of the servants along the road, in addition, Zhao Qianqian entrusted her grandfather to arrange an official boat to send Wang Changsheng and the five people out of Dengzhou.

Zhao Qianqian did all this, which made Wang Changsheng feel very satisfied.

What made Wang Changsheng feel strange was that he didn't see the figure of a middle-aged Confucian student, let alone a middle-aged Confucian student, not even a disciple of Haoran Academy.

It didn't take long for Scholar Chen to say a few words of thanks, and the birthday banquet was served, and one delicious dish after another was served.

He thought that he had eaten a lot of good things before, but today he found that the food in the secular world was beyond his imagination, and every dish was evocative, no wonder some immortal cultivators who were not firm in their Taoist hearts would give up their cultivation and be willing to stay in the world to enjoy the glory and wealth.

The delicacies are indeed very delicious, but it is not enough to shake Wang Changsheng's Dao heart, no matter how delicious the delicacies are, there are times when they are tired of eating, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the delicacies are delicious every day, so what, if you can't cultivate immortals, you will eventually turn into a pile of dry bones after a hundred years.

After the birthday banquet, all the guests said goodbye and left one after another, and Wang Changsheng and the five people also stepped forward to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

"Wang Gongzi, the old man has the courage to ask, did you see Brother Qi last night?" the white-robed old man hesitated slightly, and cautiously asked Wang Changsheng.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Changsheng said casually.

"It's nothing, just ask," Scholar Chen shook his head when he heard this, his face showed a bit of abruptness, he looked at his granddaughter beside him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Listen to Qianqian, Chen Gongzi and the four of them have to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and the old man will not stay much, but Wang Gongzi is not a candidate, if there is nothing to do, you might as well stay for a few more days, so that the old man can do his landlord's friendship." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qianqian secretly glanced at Wang Changsheng with her residual vision, and there was a look of expectation in her eyes.

"Yes, Brother Changsheng, you are not a candidate anyway, so it is better for you to stay here for a few more days," Chen Qiusheng nodded and agreed.

The man in blue and the man in green stopped talking, thought about it for a while, and finally didn't speak.

Wang Changsheng is strong in martial arts, if he can accompany them on the road, their life safety will undoubtedly be a little more guaranteed, but Chen Daxue opened his mouth to invite Wang Changsheng to stay, and they are not good at speaking against this matter, and besides, if Wang Changsheng can really become Chen Daxue's grandson-in-law, he may be able to provide them with some help in the future, after hesitating, they chose to be silent.

"No, although I am not a candidate, I have important things to deal with when I go to the capital, and the next time I pass by Dengzhou, I will definitely visit you," Wang Changsheng shook his head and politely refused.

When Scholar Chen heard this, his face was a little disappointed, and after a little thought, he said to Zhao Qianqian: "Qianqian, I remember that you didn't say last time that you were going to the capital to visit your cousin?

When Wang Changsheng heard this, his eyebrows raised.

"No, the granddaughter is a little unwell, so she won't go on the road with Wang Gongzi and them, and a few sons will walk slowly, and the little sister won't send more," Zhao Qianqian saw Wang Changsheng's expression, shook her head, and said with a gloomy expression.

After speaking, she glanced at Wang Changsheng and turned to leave.

In this regard, Wang Changsheng did not keep it, he felt like Zhao Qianqian in general, and there was no trace of male and female affection.

"In this case, those sons will go slowly, and the old man will not send them away, and when you get to the dock, someone will pick you up on the ship, and the official ship will send you out of Dengzhou," Scholar Chen saw Zhao Qianqian leaving, his face suddenly turned cold, and after dropping a few words, he chased after Zhao Qianqian.

Hearing this, Chen Qiusheng's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly thanked him.

The five of them listened to Yu Xuan and saluted, and under the leadership of a steward, they left the Chen Mansion.

As soon as they left the Chen Mansion, Wang Changsheng and the five of them got into the two carriages that had been prepared long ago and went straight to the dock.

As soon as the five of them left, Zhao Qianqian appeared at the door of Chen's mansion, she looked at the two fast-moving carriages with a complicated face, and sighed.

"Since you like people, why did you refuse your grandfather's proposal just now, you, just like your mother, you want to die to save face and suffer crimes," a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

Zhao Qianqian turned her head to look and found that Scholar Chen appeared behind her at some point, looking at her with a loving face.

"He is different from his father, he is a foundation building monk, not an ordinary mortal, grandfather, your identity can't suppress him, besides, the twisted melon is not sweet," Zhao Qianqian shook her head, smiled bitterly, and sighed.

She has some good feelings for Wang Changsheng, but it is just a good impression, and it is not enough for her to let go of her dignity and follow Wang Changsheng in vain.

Hearing this, Senior Scholar Chen nodded, and did not say anything more.

"Okay, don't mention this person, I'll go see my grandmother," Zhao Qianqian's face softened, a smile squeezed out of her face, and left quickly.

"Alas, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless," Scholar Chen sighed lightly and muttered to himself in a low voice.
