The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Three things happened in the capital today!

First, the new champions were born. The champion chosen by the emperor was Liang Yize, who was known as a child prodigy. He won the first place in all the examinations, including the county examination, the prefectural examination, the academy examination, the provincial examination, and the metropolitan examination. What was surprising was that the second place chosen by the emperor was Song Chengzhou, the second son of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. The family of generations of military generals was now going to produce a civil official.

Second, the prince of Huai Wang Mansion, Xiao Tianyi, went to inspect his own farm. On the way back, he was kidnapped by unknown assassins. During the fight, he was unfortunately poisoned by a hidden weapon and died. Huai Wang and Huai Wang's wife were extremely sad and threatened to offer a reward of 2 taels of gold to catch the assassin. Considering that the prince of Huai Wang Mansion was dead, Huai Wang had to petition the emperor to appoint his second son Xiao Tiance as the prince, and the emperor approved the petition...

Third, the third son of Minister of Works Fei Jiheng, Fei Yanwen, suddenly fell ill and had a high fever for several days. He died suddenly in the middle of the night. His family was in great grief, and his mother Li fainted several times from crying...

However, the funerals of the two families were held very low-key. In addition, on the day of the incident, the new top three scholars were all parading through the streets. Most people were attracted by the excitement and not many people paid attention to the strangeness of the other two incidents.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had already hung up the firecrackers, waiting for Song Chengzhou to arrive so that they could all be lit...

The old lady was so happy that she waited outside the door early with all her family members.

Song Chengyan approached Jiang and whispered, "Mother, does grandmother still not agree with my third brother and sisters coming out?"

Jiang shook her head and said, "Alas! Your grandmother thinks these four little enemies are too lawless. They can't be beaten, kneeled, or copied. So no matter how your father and I persuade and plead, your grandmother insists on not letting them step out of the yard. Now is Zhou Ge'er's big day, don't mention this matter in front of your grandmother, lest your grandmother is unhappy."

Song Chengyan nodded and stopped talking...

Ping An shouted excitedly: "Here he comes, the young master is here..."

When the old lady heard that Zhou Ge'er was coming, she excitedly said to the housekeeper: "Hurry up and set off the firecrackers..."

Butler Zhang smiled and nodded. He raised his hand to signal, and the servants immediately lit the firecrackers. The crackling sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the streets were crowded with people watching the excitement...

At night, there was an endless stream of people coming to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate him. Murong Jingchu came to congratulate him, but he was absent-minded the whole night dealing with people who complimented him. He looked around but could not find the person he wanted to see.

At the banquet, Murong Jingchu couldn't help but ask Song Chengzhou, only to find out that the four people were confined to their houses for a month for causing trouble. When Murong Jingchu thought of the little wild cat with bared fangs and claws, the curve of his mouth couldn't help but widen. He was not surprised at all that these four people did such a thing.

However, when she heard Song Chengzhou say that she was injured, her heart suddenly tightened. After asking carefully, she found out that both hands were also injured. She wanted to see it with her own eyes, but she also knew that she had no suitable reason to see her now.

Murong Jingchu could only pretend to be unintentional and said that he had some top-quality burn medicine and would send it to them tomorrow.

Song Chengzhou didn't think much about it, just thinking that the Fourth Prince was kind enough to send them medicine. He even happily raised his glass to thank the Fourth Prince.

Murong Jingchu was depressed and drank a few more cups...

Different from the scene outside, Ningyun Pavilion, Xueluo Pavilion, Tingyu Pavilion, and Changle Pavilion were all peaceful and quiet...

Ningyun Pavilion...

Song Qianning was lying on the stone table in the yard, tapping her toes idly. She could vaguely hear the bustling noises in the front yard. She heard from Mu Ju that her second brother had won the second place in the imperial examination, and a banquet was being held in the front yard to entertain the elders, relatives and friends who had come to congratulate him.

She hates house arrest so much, it's so boring. In the past two days, she has been lying on the bed, lying on the couch, and then on the rocking chair. Yesterday, her waist was almost broken after lying down for a whole day. Today, she really can't lie down anymore, but she is like the one-armed man, unable to read books, play the piano, or illustrate illustrations, or do anything to cultivate her sentiments.

All I could do was walk back and forth in the yard and house all day. Finally, when I couldn't walk any more, I lay on the stone table and looked up at the sky to count the stars...

Eh~ Is she dazzled? ? ? Why does she always feel like there is someone on the tree? Song Qianning stood up and walked under the tree, tilting her neck and looking up. Wow~ There really is someone...

"Are you Hanxun???"

Song Qianning almost screamed when she saw the person lying on the branch in white clothes with an elegant temperament. Without looking closely at the stunning face, the first person she thought of was Han Xun. After all, she had never seen anyone who could match his appearance and temperament.

"Miss Song, how are you?!"

Han Xun flipped over and jumped down, landing steadily in front of Song Qianning with his toes touching the ground. She smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose, like sandalwood and flowers. She obviously hated men with fragrance the most, but the fragrance on his body was very comfortable. It was not strong and pungent, but just a faint smell.

Song Qianning was surprised at the man's lightness, and suddenly thought of something. She looked around nervously and lowered her voice to whisper: "Why are you here? No one saw you, right?"

Han Xun's beautiful fox eyes were full of smiles, and he said: "I came to find you..."

"Me? How do you know I'm here?" Song Qianning looked confused.

Han Xun's smile deepened, and he said: "If I say I came here by smelling your scent, would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it! You are not born in the Year of the Dog?? Besides, I am not a piece of meat or bone?? How can you smell it?" Song Qianning looked at him with a look of "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Hahahaha~~"

Song Qianning was frightened by Han Xun's unbridled laughter and almost had a heart attack. She put her index finger to her lips and lowered her voice: "Shh... shhh... keep your voice down. If Mu Ju and the others hear the noise and come out and see you, I will never be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Han Xun was amused by her weird look and said, "Don't worry, Miss Song, they won't come out..."

"What do you mean they won't come out? Could it be that... you... you..."

Song Qianning was so scared that she stuttered and didn't dare to say the rest of the words. She just looked at Han Xun and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Han Xun was even happier. Seeing how nervous she was, he kindly explained, "Ms. Song is such a joker. I'm here to see you, so how could I let you get into trouble? Don't worry! It's just some Ecstasy Powder..."

Song Qianning patted his chest and said, "That's good! That's good! Then...what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes! I have been so preoccupied with this matter these past few days that I have lost interest in other matters, so I decided to come find you tonight."

[This guy! What he said really made me think of something else. He kept smiling at me. No wonder the kings in the past loved to make beautiful women smile. This killing power is really unbearable. I always feel that he is seducing me, but I have no evidence...]

Song Qianning swallowed her saliva, calmed down, and asked: "Hearing what Master Han said, it seems that this is really an important matter. Master Han, you don't have to be polite. Just tell me. As long as I can help, I will spare no effort to help you."

Han Xun, in a good mood, rested his elbows on the stone table, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and said lazily: "This is what you said, Miss Song???"

"I... uh!! Hehe~ I said it."

Song Qianning felt a little unsure about his tone, but when she met his seductive eyes, she instantly lost her resistance. She felt like she was being sold out by him, and she was willing to count money for him.

"Then let's get started!!"

"Hmm! Uh? Start? Start what?" She couldn't handle this? ?

"Can you continue the story you didn't finish that day???"

"Story? What story? Oh!! Are you talking about the new Legend of White Snake? I thought..."

Song Qianning suddenly realized that it was because they couldn't continue the conversation at Kongming Temple that day, and Song Qianning didn't like silence, so she casually asked him if he wanted to hear a story? ? As a result, Han Xun was really not shy and directly replied, "Yes, I do."

She had no choice but to tell the new legend of White Snake, but she didn't finish it that day. Halfway through, she heard that her third brother and others were looking for her, so she ran away in a hurry.

Han Xun didn't hear what she muttered, and asked in confusion: "Miss Song, what do you think?"

Song Qianning waved her hands and said, "Oh! It's okay! It's okay! Then I'll continue to tell you! Where was I last time?"

[This is so embarrassing. She came here to listen to my stories, but I was so arrogant that I thought Han Xun was trying to seduce me! I was really blinded by her beauty. With my skinny body, how could a man choose to take the risk of coming to see her in the dark of night? ? Fortunately, I didn’t ask her at the time, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed that I would have tapped my toes...]

Han Xun put his fist against his lips and smiled secretly. After adjusting his mood, he coughed lightly and said: "Last time you mentioned the flooding of Jinshan..."

"Oh oh oh!! That's right!! It's said that Fahai trapped Xu Xian in Jinshan Temple. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing tried hard to find him, but he was so angry that he flooded Jinshan Temple..."

Song Qianning began to tell a story, speaking in a crackling voice, with her voice becoming more and more emotional as she spoke, her saliva flying as she became more emotional...

Han Xun supported his cheek with his hand and listened with great interest. When Song Qianning talked about the exciting fighting scenes, her two zongzi hands kept making various gestures in the air...

An hour later...

Song Qianning was talking so hard that her mouth was dry and she felt like her throat was about to smoke. Suddenly, a teacup was held out to her and touched her lips. Han Xun maintained the posture of holding the teacup.

Han Xun remained motionless and said with a smile, "Drink some tea to moisten your throat..."
