Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 663 Seven Thirty Four:
August 3rd.

early morning.

The sun rises in the east, and the warm golden sunlight spreads among the uneven pavilions and towers, covering the huge Wei Palace with a golden coat.

In the wing room in the backyard.

On a face as white and plump as a pear blossom, those watery almond eyes seemed to reflect the handsome face of a young man sleeping.

Han Anniang got up early, and laid her plump and mature body on Chen Mo, with one arm supporting her upper body and the other hand gently playing with his hair. She did not get up immediately, but instead particularly enjoyed this tender scene, looking at the young man infatuatedly.

At this moment, a moan came from beside her. Wu Mi, who served Chen Mo with Han Anniang last night, hummed softly. Feeling the rising temperature inside the curtain, her brows slightly frowned, her curved eyelashes trembled, and she woke up.

Wu Mi was sleeping on the inside. He turned his head slightly and saw Han Anniang being intimate with her husband.

It was not the first time that the two women served Chen Mo together, so Wu Mi greeted Han Anniang very naturally: "Anniang, wake up your face."

As he spoke, Wu Mi suddenly cried out in surprise and pointed at Han Anniang.

Han Anniang was startled, and quickly raised her hand to touch her face, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Anniang, I feel like you've become much younger." Wu Mi raised his hand and pinched Han Aniang's cheek, which was like jelly. He was surprised and said, "So soft and tender, just like a young girl who has just come of age."

Han Anniang's plump face turned as red as snow as Wu Mi pinched her cheeks. When she heard this, a light flashed in her eyes. Without saying anything, she pulled up the curtain, got out of bed naked, walked to the dressing table, put her head close to it, and looked at it carefully.

The pressure on his body left, and Chen Mo opened his eyes. He stood up from Wu Mi's soft arms, and subconsciously looked at the owner of the arms, his face refreshed: "Mi'er."

"Husband." Wu Mi climbed up and hugged Chen Mo.

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed Wu Mi on her smooth and white forehead, then glanced around and did not see An Niang, so he looked outside the bed.

In front of the dressing table, there stood a white, graceful body. She was bending over, with her upper body leaning forward on the dressing table. Her plump breasts were sticking up high, with two crescent moons on the table, and she was looking at something in front of the bronze mirror.

The sunlight shone in from the window, hitting the white and jade-like body, as if it had opened a golden body. From the angle on the couch, Chen Mo could also see the lush grass.

This made Chen Mo's heart warm. They were an old couple and there was no noise last night. Now that he had just woken up, he couldn't help but have evil thoughts.

As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. Chen Mo got out of bed and walked towards Han Anniang.

Wu Mi seemed to know what was going to happen next. He closed his eyes slightly, sat on the bed hugging the quilt, and his icy face was tinged with alcohol.

Han Anniang was still looking at him, with indescribable joy in her eyes.

The forehead wrinkles are gone.

The wrinkles at the corners of my eyes are gone.

The skin that was a little loose after giving birth has become firm and shiny.

Before, there were some dark blackheads under the sides of my nose, but now they are gone.

Han Anniang seemed to be a dozen years younger.

She knew that this was the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill.

It has been three days since she swallowed the Rejuvenating Pill. In fact, the effect was already seen on the first day, but it was not very obvious at the time. Because after swallowing the Rejuvenating Pill, the skin is changing every moment, and it was not until three days later that it could be clearly felt.

Han Anniang couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Since having a child, Han Anniang's only remaining concern is that her face will age and her youth will fade away.

But at this moment, her worries were gone.

Just when she was about to hold her head high in excitement, someone hugged her from behind. The intoxicating masculine scent hit her face, making her feel at ease in that moment of panic.

"Erlang, stop it." Han Anniang's face seemed to be covered by a layer of waist. The young man who was holding her was playing in the grass.

"Ann, what are you so happy about so early in the morning?"

Chen Mo could feel the flesh on her plump thighs trembling from time to time.

"Erlang." Han Anniang supported herself on the dressing table with both hands, her voice tender.

"Call me husband."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. In the grass, butterflies spread their wings and danced to welcome his arrival.

Han Anniang lowered her head immediately, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth turned into a disgusted hum.

Han Anniang bit her lip to prevent herself from becoming unbearable.

However, looking at herself in the bronze mirror made her resistance gradually weaken.

In the bronze mirror, the two full moons were covered by two dark clouds in the shape of the Five Finger Mountains. Then, the full moons seemed to be controlled by the dark clouds and were constantly being manipulated.

Han Anniang turned her face away. At this moment, she was too embarrassed to look at the bronze mirror and closed her eyes.

Wu Mi, who was standing behind, was also blushing. Her husband was good in every way except this sudden behavior, which was a little unbearable.

Wu Mi didn't want to just be a spectator, so she tried to strike up a conversation with the male protagonist in the scene: "My husband, more than half a month has passed since the palace examination results were announced. When are we going to the capital?"

"Soon. Mi'er, do you want to go to Beijing now?" Chen Mo replied while busy working.

"It's just that I haven't seen my father for a long time. I miss him a little, and also my sister Ruyan." Wu Mi said.

"There are still some things that need to be dealt with at the government office. It shouldn't be for a few days. Mi'er, you can pack your luggage first."

"Ah."

"Knock, knock, knock." As he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Mi's personal maid stood outside the house. After knocking on the door a few times, she said, "Princess, is the prince here? Lord Song from the government office is here and wants to see the prince."

Inside the house, Chen Mo swayed a few times like a phoenix tree in the cold wind in winter when he heard this, and said, "It seems that the matter of the government office can be resolved today."

Nalan Yiren had told him that the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill was not just on the surface of the skin, making the skin younger, but also rejuvenating the vitality of the whole body, rather than being young on the outside but old and decayed on the inside.

Chen Mo was a little skeptical at first, but now he believes it.

Just like a few years ago, when I was in Fuze Village, Pingting County.

Not long after, Chen Mo met Song Qing in the study.

Song Qing bowed and said, "Your Highness, the people sent to Taoyuan County in Yanzhou have returned. There is indeed a man named Dai Tu in Taoyuan County who left Yanzhou in the early spring of last year. This part is the same as what Huang Zhaodi said. This is the household registration file of Dai Tu's family brought back from Taoyuan County, as well as the marriage registration information in the government office.

In addition, the clan elders mentioned by Huang Zhaodi have also been invited to the government office. Now we just need to bring "Mr. Guo" to the government office for examination and a confrontation, and then everything will be clear."

Chen Mo nodded, and then asked: "Did you reveal what I told you to do last time?"

"I have followed your instructions. General Zhang is a man you trust. He said on the spot that he would not show favoritism and asked me to handle the matter impartially."

"Did you encounter any resistance when you went to Yanzhou to investigate?"

"No."

"That's good." Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. These past few days, Zhang He had not come to him to talk about "Mr. Guo" or to beg for mercy.

In this way, Zhang He would not be involved in this matter.

Chen Mo put his hands behind his back and said, "Since everything is ready, go and take the people."

"promise."

……

Fuze Restaurant.

Ever since Chen Mo said at the dinner that day, "You will accompany me to the capital to meet the emperor soon", the group of scholars who passed the palace examination stayed in Xiangyang, and spent their days hanging out in restaurants and pubs, reciting poems and painting, or drinking and discussing politics.

Today, Qin Shi, a rich young man, booked the Fuze Restaurant and invited all the scholars to have tea and chat in the restaurant.

In addition to those who passed the palace examination and those who failed, Qin Shi also invited "Guo Xian" among them.

If it were before, Dai Tu would not have come.

However, more than half a month had passed since Peng Si'er was arrested, and Dai Tu had relaxed a lot. In addition, the Zhang residence was a bit dull today, so Dai Tu also wanted to go out and relax.

Also, it's not a good idea to keep avoiding Guo Ning, as it will only make him look guilty.

Moreover, I will soon enter the officialdom. These scholars are all connections. Who knows, they may be able to help me one day in the future. I have to get to know them.

Today's tea conversation initially revolved around my own aspirations, ambitions and ideals.

The first person to speak was naturally the top scholar Sun Cheng, whose ideals were not so empty.

It’s very realistic, it’s just to bring glory to the family.

Let the Sun family in Jiangdong become the same as the Wu family in Jiangdong.

He hopes to stay in Beijing and join the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, he also has ambitions in his heart.

Help the world, put what you have learned throughout your life to use, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

When he finished his speech, the scholars around him applauded and cheered.

No matter what they will become in the future.

At least at one moment, in their hearts, they all wanted to use what they had learned in their lives to do something practical for the people.

After that, it was the turn of runner-up Guo Ning.

He walked to the center of all the princes, his expression was calm, not excited. The sunlight coming in through the window hit his back, creating a halo that looked like the rising sun.

"I want to go to the north. Together with my good friend Brother Lin Zhong, I want to build the north and restore the people's livelihood in the north. I hope to do my best to open a county school in the north, because I found that whether it is the candidates who passed the imperial examination or the palace examination, the number of candidates from the north is far less than that from the south... Similarly, this is also to follow the footsteps of King Wei.

Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations. "

After these words were spoken, the scholars around were silent for a while, and then burst into cheers even louder than Sun Cheng's.

At the same time, they admired Guo Ning.

Guo Ning was the runner-up in the imperial examination. If he wanted, he could definitely stay in Beijing and become a more promising official. But he wanted to be an official in a dilapidated place in the north. What's the difference between this and going there to suffer?

If they were Guo Ning, they would definitely choose to stay in Beijing if given a choice.

After all, in the capital, one can also make decisions for the people.

But they were also moved by Guo Ning's words, especially the last two lines of poetry.

Sun Cheng even clapped his hands and cheered: "Brother Guo, you said it well. You set your mind on heaven and earth, set your destiny on the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity. Good poem, good poem. I am far inferior to Brother Guo Ning."

Sun Cheng was a very proud and conceited person, especially after he became the top scorer in high school. The fact that he said this, which was far inferior to what Guo Ning said, was enough to show that he admired what Guo Ning said and felt inferior to him.
