Dao fruit.

The man who spoke was a man dressed as a scholar, about 30 years old, with a fairly handsome face, and a pair of thick eyebrows that were particularly eye-catching, but the coarse and Confucian clothes on his body were slightly worn out, and they were a little pale after washing.

Seeing this person, Qiu Yan immediately stepped forward to greet him: "It turns out that Brother Zheng is here."

This person's name is Zheng Zhongsen, and he has a good relationship with Qiu Yan's predecessor, and the two often discuss articles and studies together.

This Zheng Zhongsen had failed the Taoist test three times before, and he and Qiu Yan were brothers and sisters, but this time before the Taoist test, he worked so hard to manage up and down, and it finally paid off, and he won the fame of a scholar.

"A while ago, I heard the sad news about my virtuous brother and your father. I was very sad for my brother, and I paid my respects from the air. I didn't expect to hear that you were giving out porridge in the city this morning. If there was no such thing, I don't know when I would do it for my brother." I know." There was a tinge of reproach in his words.

Qiu Yan quickly confessed his guilt, and after taking a look at the other party, he realized that Zheng Zhongsen's skin was pale, and there seemed to be black air between his brows.

"Oh? This is indeed an expression of heartbreak. It seems that Zheng Zhongsen really regarded his predecessor as a friend. Even if he was selected as a scholar and his status changed, his relationship did not deteriorate."

In the past three days, Qiu Yan has condensed the human soul. In addition to listening to books every night, he also tried to practice spiritual eyes formulas and mantras. Zheng Zhongsen saw the clue on his face.

Then, Qiu Yan led Zheng Zhongsen into the courtyard.

The courtyard was simple, so the two stood and chatted a few words, talking about the death of the emperor.

Although they read books and have the saying of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, but now one is just a scholar and has no fame. Of course, they don't feel too much, and Zheng Zhengsen is concerned about another thing——

"The previous times when the new emperor came to the throne in this dynasty, Enke was opened in those years. I heard that this time is the same as before. It is an opportunity. It's a pity that you have to be filial, brother, and miss the opportunity."

The imperial examination is originally held every three years. The provincial examination and the general examination are the main examinations. In addition, if the emperor makes a decree, an additional imperial examination can be added after three years. This is Enke.

For people like Zheng Zhongsen, the three-year wait is very long and time is wasted. It is undoubtedly a happy event to meet Enke besides this.

Qiu Yan said: "Brother Zheng, don't be sorry. My younger brother hasn't even passed the dao test. Even if he doesn't have the filial piety, Enke can't keep up. What's more, he has experienced life and death this time, and he has some insights. Recently, he has different feelings about reading and writing. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be able to concentrate on your studies and settle your mind during the period of guarding the system.”

"Your brother is open-minded to think this way," Zheng Zhongsen nodded, and then said, "There is one more thing, I don't know if you know it, but Ma Laoxiangguo has come to our Qingchang. The group of people in the school are planning to visit together. They think they are noble and look down on us. When they meet the old Xiangguo, they don’t know how proud they will be. I think it’s better for us to try to visit us too..."

He was talking, when suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door——

"Someone is here again? It's a lively day." Qiu Yan's heart moved, and he went out with Zheng Zhongsen, but he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man with slender eyes and a beard.

Seeing this person, Zheng Zhongsen was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "This person is the chief steward of Chen Qichang's family, his surname is Song. If Chen Qichang hears that he intends to seek your family's house, he must guard against it."

"Oh? Is it the steward of Chen Qichang's family? He finally came."

These days, he listened to books at night, but he was not idle during the day. He once went to investigate around the Chen Mansion with Yan Yongjie. During the period, he also asked the sheep soul trapped in the talisman maze several times, but the other party just delayed. Not the slightest bit of frankness.

"In Qingchang County, Ma Laoxiangguo sits in town. In terms of safety alone, you don't even need to go to Yuanning. Such a great Confucianist can turn people's souls upside down with a single word. With a loud shout, demons and ghosts will stay away. It's just that things with monsters can't be done." Escape, this is related to the cause and effect of this body, since they have all come to the door on their own initiative, there is no reason for me to evade."

Thinking in his heart, he stepped forward to salute.

The Song manager looked at Qiu Yan for a few moments, and then said: "Young Master Qiu, there is no need to say more about the grievances between you and my family, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to others. It is just the matter of Chen Qichang and the wolf man. After all, there must be an explanation. , my princess will come to Qingchang County in a few days, and I will ask you to honor me and come to the house to discuss."

"My dear brother, do you still have grudges with the Chen family?" Zheng Zhongsen who was at the side was startled when he heard this, "Then the Chen family is powerful..."

"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I have my own opinion."

Qiu Yan comforted him, then looked at Guanshi Song, and asked, "Darui's princesses all have titles, I wonder which princess you're talking about?"

"My lord, why do you need to ask?" Guanshi Song smiled, "I'm just a messenger, you just have to go to the appointment when the time comes."

Qiu Yan shook his head: "Since she is the one who wants to see me, there is no reason for me to come. Just let her come over when the time comes."

Hearing this, Guanshi Song's expression changed: "My lord, we are doing this to save face for you..." While speaking, a faint aura emanated from his body.

diffusion!

Both Zheng Zhongsen and Rong Niang, who was busy in the room, froze, feeling out of breath and short of breath.

"Since you are just a messenger, just take my words back. It's not up to you to decide the rest, right?" Qiu Yan said, flicking his sleeves, and made a gesture of seeing off the guests, as if to speak This Song Guanshi is regarded as a slave and a running dog.

Song Guanshi's complexion suddenly changed, and finally he sneered, turned and left.

The aura that filled the surrounding disappeared, and Zheng Zhongsen took a deep breath, and then said in a hurry: "My dear brother, you are acting on your own will! Although I don't know who the princess is in that population, maybe she is from the southern marsh tribe. But the Chen family is rich and powerful, if you don't give face like this, there will be future troubles!"

"Brother Zheng, I don't need to say much, I know it well, don't worry about these things, and prepare for the exam with peace of mind, don't get distracted."

After saying a few words, Qiu Yan sent Zheng Zhongsen away, and returned to the yard, frowning.

"This man is just a manager, and his aura is so amazing. Judging from his appearance, he has controlled both his aura and his aura. According to Yan Yongjie's speculation, the one who can control his aura should be refined." The third spirit, boldness! Chen Qichang is a three spirit demon, and this manager is also a three spirit demon, it seems that the Chen residence is not as simple as I thought."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan didn't go back to the study, but helped clean the yard together. At noon, Pan Rongniang came out of the main room, patted the dust on her body, looked at the sky, and said, "Cousin, just wait, I'm going to make you lunch."

Seeing her like this, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, and noticed that although Pan Rongniang had a lot of dust on her body, her face was still crystal clear, without any signs of fatigue, and even after a busy morning, she didn't sweat a single drop. There is no sense of fatigue, and the previous doubts are getting stronger.

He thought for a while, stopped Rong Niang, and asked, "What have you eaten these days?"

"What did you eat?" Rong Niang thought for a while, "In addition to three meals a day, it was the medicine prescribed by Fanfengtang. Speaking of which, the medical clinic you recommended by my cousin is really good. My mother went over and talked about the symptoms. , the doctor sitting in the hall prescribed the prescription and took the medicine, after taking it, he became more energetic and felt better than before!"
