The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1079 Know or Not

Luo Buyan watched the "distinguished guest" in front of him slowly take off her veil. For a moment, he really wanted to pounce on her and weld the veil firmly to her face.

  If possible, he didn't want to know the other person's true face at all!

Must we show our hand now?!

Can't I love whoever I want?!

Luo Buyan, who was so frightened and depressed, felt as if he was soaked in coptis water. It was so bitter!

"Lord Luo, do you know the old woman's origins?" Although the "distinguished guest" had an ordinary face, his eyes were sharp and he looked like a smart and capable person.

"Your Excellency, please forgive my ignorance!" Although Luo Buyan cursed the other party's ancestors for generations in his heart, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and humbly expressed that he knew nothing.

Upon hearing this, the "distinguished guest" smiled and sat down on the main seat. He then nodded towards Luo Buyan, motioning him to take a seat.

Seeing this man brazenly taking over the host's position, Luo Buyan was so angry that he sat down immediately.

"Please give me a hint, Your Majesty." He bowed to the other party.

Seeing this, the "honored guest" smiled and fiddled with the teacup for a while, until the sweat on Luo Buyan's forehead was so thick that he couldn't wipe it off, then he opened his mouth and said, "I remember that Lord Luo is also from a famous family."

"Your Excellency is too polite. My family background is ordinary..."

"Eh! Isn't that right?!" The "honored guest" interrupted Luo Buyan's words and waved his hand forcefully, "Lord Luo's ancestors are from the Taihong Yun family. Although they changed their surnames halfway through, the reputation of their ancestors cannot be forgotten lightly!"

When the name Taihong Yun was mentioned, Luo Buyan's face changed immediately, and his lips trembled visibly: "I really didn't expect that Your Majesty even knew this!"

The “honored guest” seemed to take his words as a compliment, his eyes slightly curved, and he said with a smile: “The Taihong Yun family rose to prominence when the Great Yan Dynasty was established, and became famous during the prosperous era of the Great Chen… As I recall, one hundred and ninety-three of the ancestors of the mansion served as officials in the Great Chen, and five of them had served in the cabinet!”

At this point, she seemed to suddenly remember a key piece of information, tapped her forehead, and said angrily: "Look at your memory, your great-great-grandfather, Lord Zhiyuan, was the chief minister twice!"

"Haha, this actually happened!" Seeing that the other party intentionally raised his voice when mentioning "twice", Luo Buyan pretended to be confused, "Speaking of which, I am ashamed! Because my grandfather was adopted out when he was young, and then established a new family name, the family rarely mentioned these old events. If it weren't for your words, I'm afraid I would still know nothing about it." "Know nothing?!" Hearing this, the "distinguished guest" narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then sneered and said, "The Lord of the Mansion knows nothing about the glory of the family, so I guess he doesn't know that Lord Zhiyuan was framed and nearly poisoned while in a high position?"

"Haha, shame on me! Shame on me!" Luo Buyan responded with a wry smile.

"Humph! Then I guess you, Lord Fu, must not know that Emperor Mingdi's youngest son, Prince Jin, rescued Lord Zhiyuan twice?"

When Luo Buyan heard the words “Emperor Chen Ming’s youngest son, Prince Jin,” he immediately confirmed the other party’s origins.

"Ah, this, this..." Luo Buyan still looked confused, with a hint of embarrassment in his ignorant eyes, "Hehe."

"Hmph! Hmph!" The "honored guest" suddenly uttered twice, looking at himself in Luo Buyan's eyes with a half-smile, "Master, please tell this old woman that you don't even know the famous acquaintances between 'Emperor Chen Chun and Lord Zhiyuan' in the history of the Great Chen?"

  "Ah! A model of good relations between the monarch and his subjects! I have heard of this before!" Luo Buyan saw that the other party's words were so cold that he felt like ice falling off his cheeks, so he immediately changed his words!

"Oh~~ You finally know something! If you still don't know, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to ask our ancestors in person!"

"!!!" When Luo Buyan heard the words "distinguished guest", his hair stood on end.

  What does it mean to let his own son ask the ancestors for allusions? !

This is a definite threat!

When he was furious, Luo Buyan arched his hand and said, "I heard it. Could it be that Your Majesty is from the royal family of Dachen?"

"Hmph, you are quite clever, Lord!" The "honored guest" flicked his sleeves, looked at him coldly, and said, "In the past, when Emperor Chen Chun was the Prince of Jin, he saved Lord Zhiyuan's life twice. After he became the emperor, he helped him many times, which can be regarded as a favor of recognition. When Lord Zhiyuan retired, he left a famous article, in which he repeatedly mentioned 'I have never repaid you with my great kindness, but my descendants will continue to do so'... Lord, I just don't know if you have ever heard of this statement of aspirations?!"

“!!!” Luo Buyan understood that this person was not only coming to threaten him, but also to collect a debt from him!
