Geng Shuhuai originally invited his sister and brother to live in the uncle's house, but they didn't agree and found an inn by themselves.

He invited them to a restaurant for dinner, with Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen as his companions.

Geng Xingshuang finally saw the secret person in Geng Shuhuai's heart.

She originally thought that Wan Xiao was somewhat similar to Zhan Pei, a tall, heroic figure, strong in martial arts, and brave. Who expected that when she saw the real person, it would be completely opposite, but it was not the same as what she had imagined. resemblance.

She has a beautiful appearance, and she always has a smile on her lips. She is polite and dignified, but she has the feeling that she is always paying attention to her words and deeds, which makes people feel that she is deliberately arrogant.

Geng Xingshuang didn't know if she was too harsh, or if others felt the same way.

It's just that this meal was a bit embarrassing. Geng Shuhuai and Wan Sha were talking about the scene when he passed by Qiying Village last year. On several occasions, Geng Xingshuang could sense that his second brother was deliberately provoking a certain topic and talking to Wan Xiao. of.

"Wan Sha, have you forgotten what I said before coming to Ningdu City?"

Wan Sha paused and looked at Wan Xiao, "Sister, you said so many things before coming to Ningdu City. What do you mean..."

Geng Shuhuai also looked at Wan Xiao curiously, "Ah Xiao, Wan Sha's memory is not as good as mine. If you don't remind him, he won't be able to remember..."

"Eating without talking, sleeping without talking!"

Before Geng Shuhuai finished speaking the remaining two words, he was interrupted by Wan Xiao.

As soon as Wan Xiao said this, Geng Xingchen, who was talking quietly to Geng Xingshuang, paused.

"Um... what Ah Xiao said is that you can't talk during meals."

Geng Shuhuai awkwardly reconciled, although his smoothing was not very good.

Next, the only sound left in the entire private room was the gentle collision of chopsticks and dishes.

The lunch passed in quiet awkwardness.

After lunch, Geng Shuhuai settled the bill and sent the Wan family siblings back to the inn.

"No, it's not far from the inn. We can just walk back. By the way, Mr. Geng, from now on...please call me Miss Wan. After all, we are not relatives."

As soon as Wan Xiao said this, Geng Xingshuang felt embarrassed for his second brother, but more of he was confused and, of course, a little unhappy.

Although her second brother was careless at times, he was not such a senseless person. Since he called him that, I think he was called that when he was in Qiying Village before, and Wan Xiao agreed.

Now Wan Xiao said it so bluntly in front of everyone, just like Geng Shuhuai was a libertine who didn't know the etiquette and called the girl by her maiden name.

"Sister..." Wan Sha wanted to say something, but Wan Xiao glanced at him. Wan Sha did not dare to speak anymore and smiled awkwardly at Geng Shuhuai, "Brother Geng, then... we will leave first. Thank you very much. Your treat!”

Geng Shuhuai nodded and said nothing more.

After the Wan family siblings left, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other.

Geng Shuhuai scratched his head and laughed at himself: "Fortunately Yang Liu is not free today, otherwise he would not know how to laugh at me when he saw this scene!"

"Second brother, this Miss Wan Xiao...have you made a private decision to stay in Qiying Village for the rest of your life?"

Geng Xingshuang asked softly after getting on the carriage.

Geng Xingchen opened his eyes wide when he heard the words "decided for life".

Geng Shuhuai shook his head, "You can't say that, it will damage the reputation of the girl's family."

"Humph, the look on your face says it all."

Geng Xingshuang snorted first, and then hummed: "But no matter what you did before, it is obvious that Miss Wan has changed her mind now." Geng Xingchen also nodded vigorously, "That's right, second brother, Miss Wan seems to think I’m not going to fuck you anymore!”

Geng Shuhuai glanced at Geng Xingchen sadly, "Seventh sister, can you please stop being so straightforward? Second brother, I also want to save face."

Geng Xingchen laughed sheepishly.

"It's okay, second brother!" Geng Xingshuang reached out and patted his second brother's strong shoulder, "I don't like her either!"

The eighth day after the Wan family siblings entered Ningdu City was the day when the martial arts examinations began.

The martial arts exam is held at the Ministry of War's campus on Anque Street. The martial arts exam is divided into two parts: a literary competition and a martial arts competition, lasting two days in total.

The first day was a Japanese literary competition, and the second day was a martial arts competition.

This time, Yang Qingmo and Geng Xingshuang took the exam together.

Outside the school grounds, Geng Xingshuang saw the Wan family siblings.

In addition to their siblings, there was also a middle-aged man and a young girl accompanying them.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly and kept talking to Wan Sha. Wan Sha seemed to be impatient. He tried to lift his legs to leave several times, but was stopped by the middle-aged man. Wan Xiao even pulled him away. Wan sprinkle it and don't let him leave.

Geng Xingshuang noticed the young woman following Wan Xiao. She had rolled her eyes at Wan Sha several times from behind.

Geng Xingshuang was a little confused and didn't know who the middle-aged man and the young girl were, but she didn't want to remind her second brother and affect his exam.

"Second brother, come in quickly!" Seeing Geng Shuhuai still looking around, Geng Xingshuang pushed him inside.

"It's still early, why are you in a hurry!" Geng Shuhuai was a little reluctant.

Yang Qingmo pushed him in, "Come out, Shuang'er and I have to go shopping, don't waste our time."

Geng Shuhuai wanted to say that on such an important day today, you still want to go shopping. However, he was already pushed in front of the officer in charge of inspection in the examination room. He had to hold back his words and honestly took out his household registration, verification certificate and other supporting materials. , handed it over to the officer for inspection.

When Geng Xingshuang and Yang Qingmo turned around and walked back, Wan Sha was about to go in. The middle-aged man beside him was still talking to him.

"Young Master Wan, our young master has said that as long as Young Master Wan wins the championship in this martial arts competition, he will definitely welcome Miss Wan into the house and ask the Duke to find a good official position for him. "

In the Daning Dynasty, after the martial arts examination, there was also the Wu Jinshi Examination, but unlike the civil service examination, the Wu Jinshi Examination was held every three years, and there would be additional tests occasionally. The Wu Jinshi Examination would only be used when the court was particularly lacking in martial arts and art of war. Only when there are talented people, one will be held.

After gaining the title of military examiner, one can be appointed as an official, but not everyone can be appointed as an official. The right time, place and people are indispensable.

Maybe it was because of this that even though he was very impatient, Wan Sha still said patiently and politely: "I understand. I would like to ask Butler Wu to thank the Third Young Master on my behalf."

During the conversation between the two, Geng Xingshuang only heard the words "Guo Gongye" from the steward Wu, which could narrow down the families to which the Wan family siblings could seek refuge.

There are only three people in Daning who can be called the Duke of the country, namely Ding Guo Gong, Zhen Guo Gong and An Guo Gong.

Duke Dingguo is from the Wu family of the second prince's maternal family, Duke Zhenguo is from the Zhuyan family, and Duke An is from the Fan family of the current emperor.

Could that steward Wu be the steward of Duke Dingguo's mansion?
Geng Xingshuang looked at Yang Qingmo, and Yang Qingmo said: "Many servants in the Dingguo Palace are given the surname Wu."

In other words, it is very likely that the person the Wan family brothers and sisters have taken refuge in is the third son of Duke Dingguo.

"Oh, my second brother has been waiting for more than half a year, and this is the result. But whatever, my mother should feel at ease."

Mrs. Ruan probably had a vague idea of ​​Geng Shuhuai's thoughts later on, and she had been worried about her son marrying a former bandit as his daughter-in-law. (End of chapter)
