Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

The lantern riddle guessing game continued. It seemed that their arrival gave Cui Shenglin great encouragement. He, who had been doing it with ease just now, suddenly answered very quickly.

He gave the answers to some riddles before they were even finished.

There were fewer and fewer people who could stay on the podium, and some talented students in the capital were defeated by him.

Lu Xinran and his companions were all extremely surprised as they watched him become more and more courageous. [So amazing? Didn’t he write all these riddles? ]

As she muttered to herself, she flipped through Cui Shenglin's booklet out of habit, and the more she read, the more surprised she became.

[He was actually provoked by his bad friend. If he could win the prize, the man would give him a BMW horse that he had just obtained from outside the Great Wall.]

[It can be said that since he can guess so many riddles, he must be well-educated. And his reaction is so quick. If he takes the imperial examination, he should be able to pass it, right? ]

On the high platform, Cui Shenglin listened to her inner admiration and raised the corners of his lips with pride.

Of course, he was well-educated, as he wanted to be a general.

Unfortunately, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion is just like the Duke’s Mansion, and all they can do is keep to themselves.

Only one of his brothers passed the imperial examination and became an official, while the other three were idle noblemen like him.

He didn't want to enter the government, he just wanted to march and fight.

I didn’t understand it when I was young, but now I understand that this is a luxury for him.

So all he could do now was to guess riddles for a horse, that was all.

Lu Xinran was still flipping through his booklet. After seeing that the person he admired most was Zhang Yongping, he began to understand why he was fond of Zhang Shuier.

Is this considered loving someone and loving his dog?

Zhang Shuier: “…”

Cui Shenglin, whose thoughts were suddenly exposed, was so nervous that he almost gave the wrong answer.

His face flushed and he focused his mind, no longer daring to focus on his inner voice, until he defeated the last person. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, took the lantern from the shop owner, jumped off the platform, and walked straight to Zhang Shuier.

"Send it to you."

Zhang Shui'er looked at the Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine Lantern handed to her. She didn't know if it was affected by Lu Xinran's thoughts, but her ears felt slightly hot.

Amid everyone's gazes, she took the lantern from Cui Shenglin without much hesitation.

"Thank you, it looks great."

Cui Shenglin scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.

Lu Xinran hugged Lu Xinlan's arm and grinned like an auntie.

"There's a teahouse in front, do you want to go in and take a rest?"

Seeing that Zhang Shuier's cheeks were about to burn, Zhang Xinji quickly spoke up to rescue his sister.

Everyone echoed and walked towards the teahouse in front.

Cui Shenglin no longer cared about looking for his friends for the spoils. He followed Zhang Shuier and went to the teahouse with them with a silly smile on his face.

As luck would have it, just as they were about to turn up the stairs, they met Lu Yuanheng and his group coming from the other side.

Around him were several good friends who had already made an appointment with him, as well as their friends' younger brothers and sisters.

Everyone else was parading with their brothers and sisters, but he left his family behind to parade with others. It seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

Lu Xinran pulled Zhang Shui'er and walked past him without even looking at him, as if she didn't see him at all.

Sister Lu Xintong lowered her head and followed closely behind them.

Only Lu Xinlan smiled and paused, then greeted softly, "Big Brother."

Lu Yuanheng coughed lightly, "What a coincidence."

[What a coincidence! Didn't we see you coming down from the platform? You are not even as good as Cui Wu. I wonder if your status as a Jinshi is fake.]

Cui Shenglin: "..."

No, is this a compliment and affirmation to him?

Why does it always sound like something is wrong?

Several friends had already looked away, and Lu Yuanheng stared at Lu Xinran's back somewhat awkwardly.

This younger sister must be incompatible with their family, otherwise why would everything in the house be in chaos as soon as she came back!

Even the eldest sister's temperament changed drastically after she fell into the water, as if she had become a different person.

Lu Xinlan seemed not to hear the complaint. She nodded slightly at him and followed Tang Wanrou upstairs.

Lu Yuanheng took a deep breath, turned around and smiled at his friends: "Should we change to another teahouse?"

He didn't know what that damn girl would say to him later, and he was not ready to embarrass himself in front of his best friends.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through the minds of several people, and then they smiled and gestured to go out.

As soon as Lu Xinran entered the room, she went to the window to take another look at the street market outside which was covered with lanterns, and then she saw Lu Yuanheng leading his men away.

Zhang Shui'er also came over and looked down, "Why did your elder brother leave?"

She said it subconsciously, and then thought that Lu Yuanheng probably didn't want to embarrass himself too much.

But Lu Xinran had some misunderstandings, so he quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "My elder brother is not a good match, so you should definitely not fall for him."

Zhang Shuier: “…”

She doesn't have the habit of picking up trash yet!

Cui Shenglin carefully approached the two of them, listening to their conversation, and was already wondering whether he should please Lu Xinran first.

Is it easier to succeed by taking a roundabout way than having someone come to propose marriage directly?

Zhang Xinji has been looking at him since he entered the door. This man wants to be his brother-in-law?

Judging from his previous performance on the podium, it's not impossible.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't want to serve as an official in the court, but your knowledge must not be poor.

I'll try to get him to write an article someday.

Everyone, each with their own thoughts, sat together and talked about the Sun family, whose entire clan was to be executed according to imperial decree.

"If something happens to the Sun family, will Prince Su also be implicated?"

But Lu Xinran still remembered that Song Junhe took a thousand soldiers from Sun Linyuan.

So many people say it is used to protect safety, but who can tell the real reason?

Zhang Shuier sneered: "Prince Su is no longer allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, unless he commits another mistake and is stripped of his status as a prince by His Majesty and demoted to a commoner."

Otherwise it would just be like this.

After all, the emperor didn't want to take action against his own sons, especially since Song Junhe was the eldest son.

Lu Xinran felt a little regretful. That person had attacked her and Lu Xinlan before, and liked to say some ambiguous things.

It would be great if we could solve it together.

But speaking of the Sun family, Lu Xinran suddenly thought of something. Why had she never seen the legendary Dragon Scale Guard in the emperor's booklet?

Or was it that she was focusing on the wrong thing when she gossiped before?

Speaking of the Dragon Scale Guards, Cui Shenglin, who has always paid attention to them, has something to say.

He coughed lightly, and waited for everyone to look at him before saying, "The Dragon Scale Guard was established by His Majesty eight years ago. It was originally intended to collect intelligence and pay attention to opinions in various places. However, two years after its establishment, the Dragon Scale Guard went into hiding, and all expenses were no longer drawn from the national treasury. Gradually, everyone began to ignore the Dragon Scale Guard."

If it weren’t for the incident with the Sun family this time, the emperor would have used the name of Dragon Scale Guard externally, and these three words would have been completely forgotten.

Lu Xinran frowned, feeling something was wrong.

This description of the Dragon Scale Guard...why does it sound so much like Zui Chun Lou? !
