Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"Take these two papers back!" Guowei handed Shen Luo two answer papers, which were the original texts of the two papers he wrote during the Jiangzhou rural examination.

"My lord, is this?" Shen Luo looked at his paper curiously, even if it was an ordinary examinee, there would be no possibility of returning the paper.

"It's been copied over a hundred times. It's no good for you to keep the original text. You can keep it yourself. Maybe it will be beneficial for him to read it again." Guowei left him alone again today. Staying to talk, Shen Luo has become a frequent visitor in the Gongyuan.

"Since it has been transcribed, what's the difference?" Shen Luo didn't want to be scorned, his wisdom was not as good as that of 'that Shen Bai', and there was still a big gap between 'him' in terms of thinking and calculation. It is a bit difficult to draw inferences from one instance.

"Have you carefully read your handwriting?" Guowei said with rare patience.

"Words?" Shen Luo opened the two papers in surprise to have a look.

"Many things in this world can deceive people, but if you lie for a long time, there will be flaws that you can't even see through." Guowei said leisurely: "Look at the words in your two papers, although they are It is smooth and flowing, but between the lines is a confident sharp edge, and looking at your strange answer, the words are strictly abiding by the rules and being cautious."

Shen Luo was amazed when he heard this, it was not unreasonable for this person to accomplish something that subverted the universe when Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne.

"It's good to see the subtleties, and you have to deliberately restrain your edge." Guowei looked at his thoughtful expression and said.

"Thank you, sir." Shen Bai returned the salute.

"Hmm!" The stubborn old man in his 60s closed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Coming out of the classroom, he turned around and met Baili Songran and Yun Mo outside.

"Why are you two brothers here?" Shen Luo asked.

"What's more, as soon as you left yesterday, our young master Nasi seemed to have lost his soul." Baili came over and put his shoulders on him and said, "How about it, are you interested? He is from the imperial capital." If you like it, let me tell you something, and you can taste the grapes from the Western Regions."

Shen Luo smiled softly: "Students from poor families can't stand such a blessing. Besides, for you dear friends, you should enjoy the quiet and good life in this world. But for Shen, even life is worth it. If there is nothing to settle, how can there be so much good fortune!"

After speaking, he smiled and left under Baili Songran's surprised eyes.

"Him? Just now, did you imply that you have no money?" After Shen Luo left, Baili said calmly.

Yun Mo looked at the back of his hand, which was shining under the sun, and it was as white as jade: "This man has a lot of ambition, but unfortunately, the Imperial City is not a place to build dreams, but a place to wake them up."

Baili looked at him relaxedly, straightened his back, looked left and right, stretched his arms carelessly, and stretched his muscles and bones.

In order to make it easier for Nie Xingfeng to come and go, Qingchen placed a set of tea sets, bowls and chopsticks in the study room, and also placed a shallow bathtub, where he could take a bath, so that he and Shen Luo would not always be crowded together for washing.

As winter gradually approached, Shen's house received a letter from Huzhou.

The letter was ghostwritten by the county magistrate of Huzhou, in the name of Master Asong.

"Did the person who sent this letter say nothing?" Shen Luo asked while looking at the letter.

"No?" Qingchen looked at him: "Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Luo shook his head: "You received the letter yourself?"

"Well, Xiaotang has come to report back."

Shen Luo smiled lightly.

Qing Chen pursed her lips and looked at him: "What's the matter, Ah Bai, is there something wrong, Lord Asong suddenly wrote you a letter?"

"The letter is nothing." Shen Luo shook the letter: "The Huzhou county magistrate and I set up a relationship because he didn't know how I would improve in the future in the imperial capital. He, a seventh-rank county magistrate, naturally tried his best Establish a little contact with me as much as you can, not to mention that Master Asong has his care, so naturally he can live in Huzhou without any worries."

"Then what are you worried about?" Qingchen asked puzzled.

"The key lies in the timing of the letter and your reaction after receiving the letter. Logically speaking, the sender must see me and say a few good words to complete the task, but he will leave after sending the letter. Is it normal?"

"My father?" Qingchen reacted: "It must be Chang's brother's fault!"

Shen Luo smiled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what the county magistrate does, not to mention that this letter was written by the county magistrate, it must be true, they know that you are here with me, and they regard themselves as my husband, maybe they are secretly happy, whether it is Your father is still the magistrate, or even the county magistrate. It is uncertain whether Master Asong asked to write this letter, but with his character, he probably won't."

"Well, I also think that Master Asong's character would not be presumptuous to ask the county magistrate to write a letter." Qingchen also reacted.

"Let them be happy, at least it means that the family is safe and sound." Shen Luo said reassuringly.

"Do you think my father and the others will rush over here?" Qingchen looked at Shen Luo with a little embarrassment: "If they come, I can't drive him away as a brother, but I will add to you Trouble."

"We're all from one family, so why talk about two families like this!" Shen Luo comforted him, "I'm just indifferent, and I'm not a freak."

"That's a good point. I thought you were a husband and wife. I didn't realize there was something hidden?" Nie Xingfeng leaped in lightly.

"It's not good to eavesdrop on the wall, why does Brother Nie still have this hobby." Qingchen teased him.

"Look at what you said, I'm here on business. There's a kid outside, you just say it's your natal brother, come in, I'm about to have a big head." Nie Xingfeng said.

"Child?" Shen Luo and Qing Chen looked at him at the same time.

"My little brother, where are you thinking?" Nie Xingfeng looked at them: "The one who sneaked out to play, followed me, and couldn't even shake him off."

Qingchen went out, and brought back an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with bright eyes and bright teeth after a while.

The young man held his hands together: "Brother, is this your scholar friend?"

"It's not big or small." Nie Xingfeng slapped him, but the young man dodged it nimbly. He hid behind Qingchen and shook his head at Nie Xingfeng and stuck out his tongue: "I can't hit it, I can't hit it."

"My junior brother, Xiao Shitou, let him stay here for a while!" Nie Xingfeng looked at him and said deflatedly.

"No, how boring am I here?" Xiaoshi jumped out and looked at Nie Xingfeng with his arms akimbo.

"I come back here every night, just follow Qingchen and call him brother!" Nie Xingfeng pointed at Qingchen and said.

"The weather is a bit cold, let's arrange to eat shabu-shabu tonight." Shen Luo stretched his waist, opened the letter and saw that there was nothing in it, that is, Master Asong knew everything, and Prince Qi even sent 100 taels and so on.

After reading the letter, Shen Luo put down the letter, and looked at his little stone jokingly. He didn't recognize the stranger at all, and picked up a book from the desk to read it, which was "Contemporary Collection".

In his heart, Shen Luo was a little dissatisfied with Prince Qi's actions in Huzhou. He wanted to confirm his assumption that he was Prince Qi's man. The water in front of him seemed clear, and he didn't even put his foot in it.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't think too much about it, and even waited to pass the general examination, get a Jinshi, go out, or stay as an idle official.

But ever since he had the "dream" of his previous life, Bianjing, who was just indifferent to him or even deliberately alienated him, has retained so many problems.

Even in the matter of Sister A and An An, it was a life-and-death contest from the very beginning, with no way out.

The cruelty of politics is beyond his imagination.

Although he is still a fish in clear water here, once he is involved in the faction of the Three Kings, he will also be affected in the battle for the throne in the future.

It's just that he is much safer now than 'that' standing in the center of the vortex and dancing around the flow of the vortex.

"This book is pretty good." Xiao Shitou commented solemnly.

Shen Luo looked at him, and thought of his little nephew Yu Wen'an: "Do you understand?"

"Of course!" Xiao Shitou said dissatisfied: "I have read all my master's books, otherwise how would I spend my life!"

"Hmph!" Shen Luo couldn't help but smile: "How old are you, and you've only lived your whole life?"

Xiao Shitou looked at him proudly: "Can I read the books here?"

"Look, it's up to you." Shen Luo nodded.

Xiaoshi sat on the chair with a book contentedly, looking leisurely.

Shen Luo sat back at the Eight Immortals table and poured a cup of tea.

"What? A letter from Huzhou?" Nie Xingfeng asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm afraid it's the temptation of Qingchen's father and the others." Shen Luo said.

"Your current status, what do they dare to do, aren't they happy to recruit you to be a son-in-law?" Nie Xingfeng comforted.

"But they can still handle me for a while, after all about Qingchen, he can sue me for kidnapping 'brother'." Shen Luo said.

"Don't you have Prince Qi?" Nie Xingfeng looked at him.

Shen Luo shook his head: "Human favors are hard to get rid of, and there will be something wrong in the future."

Nie Xingfeng listened and looked around, this house, this courtyard, and the servants outside asked: "Are you not human?"

"This kind of favor is normal in official career, and it's easy to repay, but Qingchen's matter is different." Shen Luo said.

"The debt of favor is hard to repay!" The little stone beside him sighed for him, causing Shen Luo to chuckle.

In the evening, we arranged a hot pot soup with oysters as the base, and added prawns, crabs, and side dishes of tofu, green vegetables, and fresh squid segments.

Use garlic vinaigrette and spicy sauce for dipping.

Xiao Shitou ate very happily and said it was delicious.

"This kid ran out alone, and suffered a bit." Nie Xingfeng said, looking at the small stone gnawing on the crab.

"Where's his family?" Qingchen picked shrimp for him.

"No, my master said I jumped out of a rock, so he called me Little Shitou." Little Shitou said indifferently.

Arrange for him to wash in the evening, light dust will make some clothes for Xiao Shitou tomorrow, and Xiao Shitou's coke will be broken.

The address for Qingchen has also changed from that one to "Brother Qingchen", which is so sweet that it makes me sick.

Shen Luo reads books in his room at night, guessing what's going on in Huzhou.

Qingchen sat down and handed him a cup of tea: "I heard the conversation between you and Xingfeng today, what are you going to do in Huzhou?"

Shen Luo thought for a while, then shook the tea cover in his hand: "If it doesn't work, I'll take the initiative to find Mr. Tongge, and let him jump out one step ahead of time to protect us from the wind and rain. He is still better than the prince." There are many favors."

Qingchen nodded: "You must be, if my father comes, I will also talk to him."

"If you can't, just draw a cake for him, don't be in a hurry to talk about cashing in." Shen Luo said.

"En!" Qingchen nodded, the two of them were like a young couple, thinking about trivial matters at home.

Huzhou has already turned upside down.

"Big happy event, great happy event!" Changxian Cheng looked at Mrs. Long Tu who rushed over and said.

"What's wrong, brother?" Long Tu felt his heart beating wildly.

"I just got the news that Qingchen is indeed in the imperial capital, and she lives with him in the house given by Prince Qi as Fulang Shen." Changxian Cheng said excitedly: "And according to the contacts of our county magistrate in the imperial capital, , The news I got is that Shen Luo is very highly valued, and Guowei, the dean of the Tribute Academy, often keeps him to give lectures alone."

"Guowei, Guo Taifu?" Longtu was very impressed with him. After all, he was a person who once ruled the world. He heard his ex-brother-in-law say it.

"Yes, it's him, who will be the teacher of today's emperor." Changxian Cheng said excitedly.

"Brother, let's see how to arrange it. I'll go back and pack my things now, and take Fulang to the imperial capital to look for them?" Long Tu asked a little excitedly.

"Don't worry, if you go like this, you can't help but make Shen Luo think too much. If it's not good for him to think that you are taking the opportunity to blackmail him, then it will be meaningless. Your most urgent task now is to let him know that you admit that he and Qingchen are together. Together, we not only recognize him, but also treat him as the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai, and support him in Huzhou."

"Yeah, um! Big brother said yes!" Long Tu nodded in praise.

"In this way, when you go back, you can discuss with the old man in Gaofu Temple to see what he thinks. If he is willing to go, you can go with him. It will be considered that the parents of the two parties have gone to the imperial capital to preside over the marriage for them." Changxian Cheng Speaking of.

"But they got married in the imperial capital, how about our face in Huzhou?" Longtu asked.

"Uh, they got married in the imperial capital. Naturally, there are thousands of wealthy guests. He has a good relationship with Prince Qi, and the status of the guests who went there is naturally not low. When you come back, you will hold half a thank-you banquet for them in Huzhou, and the elders in your hometown will know. Even the congratulatory gift will not lose you a point, and you will have a lot of face."

Longtu saluted with admiration: "Big brother is still brilliant."

The county magistrate smiled and said intentionally: "It's not for nothing to be the magistrate for so many years. It's just that I have no chance and can't be promoted."

Long Tu promised: "Don't worry, big brother, in the future our virtuous son-in-law will succeed, and big brother may not have a chance, we are all one family."

"That's it, that's it!" Changxian Cheng also nodded proudly.

"Master Asong, how do you think about the arrangement?" In the Gaofu Temple, Mrs. Longtu explained the purpose of coming, and Master Asong couldn't help but stroke his beard because he couldn't tell any more lies.

"Otherwise, the wedding has to be done. It's a good thing for the two families. The child Qingchen is also in love with Mr. Shen." Long Qi and Mr. Asong are very nice, and they were also invited.

"Okay, okay, I'm thinking I'll try it now, maybe I'll talk about it later." Master Asong worried that Shen Luo would be distracted.

"That's a good idea. When the son-in-law is in high school, there will be a double happiness." Long Tu agreed with a slap of his hands, so that he would have more face and room for maneuver.

"It's possible, but they will be gossiped in the imperial capital. I think it's better if we hold an engagement banquet for them in Huzhou, which is justifiable." Long Qi suggested, look at Master Asong.

"Okay, the two of them hit it off, so let's write a letter and get this matter done right away." Master Asong readily agreed.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Long Tu looked gratefully at Long Qiye, the marriage was settled, and his virtuous son-in-law couldn't escape.
