In the north of Linjiang City, a luxurious mansion stands here.

Different from the simple but elegant Sima Xiang's mansion, this mansion gives people a direct feeling of magnificence.

The exotic beasts carved out of gold on the eaves and the pair of huge stone lions at the door.

Just from the large plaque of pure gold hanging at the door of the house, it can be seen that the family is not ordinary rich.

Chen Mansion - These are the two big characters on the pure gold medal plaque. This is the mansion of Chen Enyi, the richest man in Linjiang.

Sima leisurely walked to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and the gatekeeper of the Chen Mansion saw Sima Youran, so he hurriedly saluted: "Master Sima." "Now the people in Linjiang know that Sima Youran entered Beijing as an official, and those of them who are scary will naturally no longer call Sima Youran the son of Youran, so they will call him Master Sima.

Sima nodded leisurely and said, "Please report it, I have something to do with your son-in-law." ”

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll go. After the family answered, he quickly ran into the house to inform Chen Mingyu.

After a while, Chen Mingyu followed Jiading and trotted all the way.

"Brother Youran, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" Chen Mingyu said enthusiastically as he walked leisurely towards Sima.

"Brother Mingyu, I'm sorry," Sima leisurely said to Chen Mingyu.

Chen Mingyu smiled when he heard this: "Don't disturb, don't bother, it's too late for Brother Youran to visit me happy." Why are you still stunned, please come in, please come in. ”

Subsequently, Sima leisurely followed Chen Mingyu to the garden of the Chen Mansion.

The garden of the Chen Mansion is much larger than that of Sima Xiangfu, and Chen Mingyu's father, Chen Enyi, loves to plant all kinds of plants, and he wants to cultivate these plants himself, and he does not let his subordinates interfere.

The two came to the gazebo in the garden, where another person was drinking tea.

The lord of the Chen Mansion, Chen Enyi.

"Uncle Chen. Sima leisurely bowed down to greet Chen Enyi.

Chen Enyi saw Sima Youran, and said kindly: "Well, Youran is here, sit down." ”

After Sima Youran and Chen Mingyu sat down, Chen Enyi got up and wanted to leave: "You two brothers talk, I'll go and prune that magnolia." ”

"Uncle stays. Sima said leisurely, then he glanced at Chen Mingyu, and then said: "I came here leisurely today to discuss with Brother Mingyu, and at the same time, this matter must be approved by my uncle." ”

Chen Enyi listened, nodded as well, and sat down again: "Then you talk, I'll just listen." ”

Chen Mingyu saw that his father stayed, smiled, and said to Sima Youran: "I'm also very curious, how important it is, since you still need to come to the door in person, Brother Youran." ”

Sima Youran didn't hesitate when he heard this, and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Mingyu, in fact, I was promoted to a bachelor in Hanlin before I left Beijing, and this time I will be in Linjiang, in fact, I received an order from His Majesty to return to Linjiang to recruit two Hanlin Academy to wait for the edict." And one of the two places, I think you may be interested in Brother Mingyu, so I came here today to find out what Brother Mingyu meant. ”

As soon as Sima Youran's voice fell, Chen Mingyu was speechless in surprise. They didn't notice that Chen Enyi, who had listened to Sima Youran's words, showed a very playful expression.

The reason why Chen Mingyu was surprised was because he really didn't expect Sima Youran to be an official to the sixth rank. I didn't expect that Sima came leisurely this time, and he actually wanted to find him to enter Beijing as an official.

"Although the edict of the Hanlin Academy is only a nine-grade official position, it is also a relatively special nine-grade, and I believe it will not insult Brother Mingyu. Sima continued to smile leisurely.

At this time, Chen Mingyu also recovered from his surprise...... The Hanlin Academy is waiting for the edict, that is a fragrant bait! How could he not want to! Being able to come into contact with those world-famous scholars of the Hanlin Academy is the dream of every scholar in the world.

But...... Since he was a child, his father wanted to train him to be the successor of the Chen family's industry. Although he aspired to become a literary hero since he was a child, due to his parents' expectations of him, he could only assist his father on the one hand, and on the other hand, as a talented man who longed to get in touch with more literary knowledge.

What a great opportunity to become a Hanlin Academy, do you really want to give up?

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyu looked at Chen Enyi, Sima Youran and Chen Mingyu have known each other for a long time, so he naturally knew what the latter was thinking, and also looked at Chen Enyi.

Chen Enyi looked at the two young people in front of him and suddenly looked at him, of course he knew what these two children were thinking. He smiled and said to Chen Mingyu: "If you want to go, go there." Your father and I are not old. ”

Chen Mingyu was stunned again. He knew that when his father said this, it meant that his father really agreed to him to enter Beijing.

Chen Mingyu blushed with excitement, and said to Sima Youran: "Then thank you Brother Youran, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay Brother Youran!"

Seeing this, Chen Enyi smiled again.

"Alright. Don't be excited, go to Yang's house and bring your mother back, you should also tell her about such a big matter. Chen Enyi said. Chen Mingyu's mother, Mrs. Chen, Zhao went to the Yang family to embroider with the Yang family's housewife, and was not in the house for the time being.

When Chen Mingyu heard this, he also got up to say goodbye to Sima Youran and Chen Enyi, and then set off to go to Yang's mansion. After Chen Mingyu left, Sima Youran was also ready to leave, but before he could say goodbye to Chen Enyi, Chen Enyi had already spoken directly.

"Leisurely, if you're okay, stay and chat with me. ”

"Okay, Uncle Chen. Sima Youran had no idea of leaving.

"Leisurely, if my guess is correct...... You're already in the same vein as the prince......" Chen Enyi said faintly.

Sima Youran was only a little surprised, and even thought that Chen Enyi might have something to do with the big names in the capital.

Seeing Sima Youran's slight fluster, Chen Enyi spoke again: "I know what you're thinking...... Li Mubai, King of Bac Ninh, is my sworn brother......"

The father of Sister Qinglan, the king of Bac Ninh, and the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor?

"Why didn't my father mention this matter, and Sister Qinglan didn't mention it either?" Sima thought leisurely.

The king of Bac Ninh is one of the only two remaining princes, and the reason why it is the "only two remaining princes" is because the king of Bac Ninh was not interested in the throne at all, and just wanted to be a leisurely prince. As for the other prince, it is Li Yi, the king of Nanxiao. Li Yi was the youngest prince of the year, and he was only eight years old when the battle for the heir took place. And Li Yi's biological mother, that is, the concubine of the first emperor, Wang, is also the only one who did not treat Emperor Ming coldly because of his birth when he was a child. So Emperor Ming only left these two younger brothers back then.

In fact, Sima Youran did not meet the king of Beining a few times, but he heard that the king of Beining was very fond of traveling in the mountains and rivers when he was a teenager...... Maybe it was Chen Enyi who I met at that time.

"Then Brother Mingyu, do you know about this?" asked Sima leisurely.

"Mingyu, he didn't know that I had this relationship with Li Mubai, but your father knew, but I just asked him to help me keep it secret. Chen Enyi said. "In fact, the Chen family's operation over the years is indispensable to the secret assistance of the King of Bac Ninh, otherwise how could they have accumulated so much wealth. ”

Sima Ran listened leisurely and nodded, indeed, the Chen family's operation of industries in Linjiang or other places is smooth, and it is indeed possible that the King of Bac Ninh is fueling the troubles.

Thinking of this, Sima Youran couldn't help but speak: "Since Uncle Chen, you have such a close connection with the King of Beining, you should also know what the situation in the capital is now, but why did you tell me about this? I am a member of the prince's party, and it should not be good for you and the King of Beining to know about this matter." ”

"What's the benefit...... There are still. Chen Enyi smiled.

"Sima Youran, let me ask you, are you and the crown prince determined to bring down the Queen Mother?" Chen Enyi's eyes became fierce when he said this.

"If so, my Chen family can become an ally between you and the crown prince!"

"Help you to bring the Queen Mother ...... Completely knocked down!"

......
