In Jingli, every time he was caught and sent home, he had to be beaten with a board. "

Shen Jieran couldn't help laughing out loud when he remembered what happened when he was a child.

Yuan Lingxiu was listening quietly by the side, and sometimes couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Speaking of which, I see that none of your family members know martial arts, how could Lingxiu think of practicing martial arts?"

I found out yesterday that everyone in the Yuan family is a literati, and even those who know martial arts are three-legged cats, but Yuan Lingxiu is different.

Although Shen Jieran can't feel any internal force in him now, but through the small details of the past few days, he can't help guessing that the reason why he can't feel it is very likely that Yuan Lingxiu's internal force is far superior to his own.

At his age, Shen Jieran's martial arts can already be regarded as a leader, but he has only heard of some legendary geniuses in the Jianghu who are more powerful than himself, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

He asked this question because Yuan Lingxiu in his previous life seemed to have mediocre martial arts skills.

But because he had a great opportunity when he first went to the border, he got the cheats and instructions and made rapid progress in martial arts.So when he was at a very high level, he felt that Yuan Lingxiu's martial arts were average, which didn't mean that the current Yuan Lingxiu couldn't be better than him.

Shen Jieran's question was extremely reserved, but Yuan Lingxiu knew what he meant.

What he actually meant was that he grew up in the inner house, and no one taught him why he has such high kung fu now.

Because there are very few people in contact with him, and even fewer people who really understand martial arts, he never thought that anyone would find out the secret that his martial arts is not weak.

Now I don't know how to explain it.

"It's just for physical fitness." He lowered his eyebrows and said vaguely.

When he was young in the previous life, he really insisted on exercising every day to strengthen his body.Unexpectedly, a good foundation was laid by chance and coincidence.

Later, he accidentally saved a strange old man. The strange old man was really weird. He acted crazy and spoke incoherently.

Shen Jieran thought he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more.But there is still a small loss in my heart that is hard to hide.

He used to think that Yuan Lingxiu was just an ordinary person.

He is just an ordinary bastard who has no status, no sense of existence, will not be carefully cultivated, and will hardly have a bright future.

——Shen Jieran himself doesn't care much about the difference between the concubine and the concubine, he doesn't discriminate against the concubine, but he has to admit the fact that the concubine is different.For people of Yuan Lingxiu's background, there are no less than a hundred people in the family of officials and eunuchs in the capital alone——

But the more he understood, the more he felt that Yuan Lingxiu was different from those people.

He has great skills but no ambitions, neither currying favor with the powerful nor admiring vanity.And he still has a lot of little secrets...

The cool night wind was a bit intoxicating, Shen Jieran looked at Yuan Lingxiu who was quietly eating fish with lowered eyebrows and thought to himself, but it doesn't matter, he will find the answer one day.

Shen Jieran stayed with Yuan Lingxiu in another courtyard for two days.

In fact, it is not so much that he is with him, but Yuan Lingxiu is with him.

Yuan Lingxiu's life in the other courtyard has always been fulfilling, sometimes reading books, sometimes practicing martial arts, and sometimes going to the back mountain to burn things... He seems to have a quiet and indifferent temperament, and he speaks and does things in a leisurely manner. Cozy, enjoy yourself.

When the day when Uncle Yongchang and Mrs. Shen returned to the capital, Shen Jieran took Yuan Lingxiu and a few servants to the gate of the city to wait.

The ancestors of the Shen family fought with the founding emperor, so when they were named Yongchang Bo, the family and the ancestral hall were settled in the capital.There are several families with backgrounds like theirs, and finally the ancestral halls were all moved to Zongyun Temple on the outskirts of the capital.

Zongyun Temple is the national temple of Dacheng, with excellent geomantic omen and strong incense all year round, where the ancestral tablets are kept, not to mention descendants, even the ancestors who have traveled west long ago will feel honored.Therefore, if you want to burn incense to worship your ancestors, you only need to go to Zongyun Temple.

"But I heard from my father that our ancestors were actually orphans since they were young, and they have always been beggars. They don't have any ancestors." Shen Jieran and Yuan Lingxiu waited in the tea shed at the gate of the city, and started talking nonsense again after they had nothing to do.

Yuan Lingxiu was amused by the unrestrained Shen Jieran, and said with a smile: "How can the old Hou tell you this, I don't believe it."

When Shen Jieran saw Yuan Lingxiu laughing, he would be inexplicably happy too.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yuan Lingxiu's expression in the past two days is obviously much more lively than when he saw it a while ago, at least he doesn't always have a straight face, and sometimes he makes him laugh out loud.

"Well, it's been hundreds of years, who knows." Shen Jieran spread his hands, expressing that he really made up this matter without shame.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a team with a large number of people appeared on the official road.

10. Chapter nine strategies

It took a while for the team to reach the gate of the city. Yuan Lingxiu picked up the teacup with his slender fingers and took a small sip.When the cup was put down, the hand was held.

Looking up in surprise, Shen Jieran smiled brightly.

"Ah Xiu, don't be nervous, you don't need to do or say anything for a while, just follow me."

Yuan Lingxiu staggered his gaze, lowered his eyes, and nodded slowly.

No matter how this person concealed it, Shen Jieran could still see Yuan Lingxiu's nervousness.

My parents knew that his father rarely interfered with the affairs of the inner house, but his mother had nothing to say to him and his brother, but she was always a little mean when she treated others.

Presumably Yuan Lingxiu has been bullied a lot since he entered the Shen family, and that's why he feels so uncomfortable now.

Shen Jieran clenched the hand that was wrapped in his palm with some distress, Yuan Lingxiu glanced at him, then lowered his eyes to the ground again, but did not avoid it.

When the team got close, Shen Jieran dragged Yuan Lingxiu over.

It takes half a day to walk slowly back to Beijing from Zongyun Temple. Mr. Shen is old, and he will be tired after riding a horse for too long, so he has been sitting in the carriage with Mrs. Shen. Find the feeling of the year.

The team stopped when they saw Shen Jieran, and the two elders opened the curtain on the carriage to take a look. They didn't expect that their son, who usually played so much that he couldn't see anyone, would come to pick him up, and they couldn't help being overjoyed.

And Shen Jieran was even more excited when he saw his parents who were much younger.

In the previous life, the Shen family collapsed, his father just went there in a hurry, he didn't even see him for the last time, and when he saw his mother, Mrs. Yipin, who was usually pampered and respected, was already wrinkled and pale. Gray hair.

If there were not so many people here and he was afraid of being too abrupt, Shen Jieran would have knelt down and kowtowed to the elder on the spot.

This is probably the gift God gave him, giving him a chance to start over...

"Jieran?" I just greeted Mrs. Madam, but the people next to me didn't move. Feeling that Shen Jieran's hand holding him was trembling slightly, Yuan Lingxiu gave him a puzzled look, and shook it hard. .

After finally suppressing his excitement, Shen Jieran adjusted back to the mentality he had when he was 19 years old, and greeted his parents.

When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.Just now he told Yuan Lingxiu not to be nervous, but he didn't expect to be the first to lose control of his emotions.

He smiled shyly, and mischievously squeezed back a little harder.

Finally, Old Master Shen got out of the carriage to ride a horse, and Shen Jieran and Yuan Lingxiu squeezed into his mother's carriage together.

Madam Shen, who hadn't seen her precious son for a long time, naturally asked for a while, and didn't talk to Yuan Lingxiu much.

The elder was right next to him, and it was not easy for the two juniors to hold hands all the time, so they let go naturally.But when they first met, Mrs. Shen, who had always had a very poisonous eye, still noticed the change between the two of them.

"By the way, mother, it will be mid-October soon, the weather is getting colder, and Lingxiu's condition has stabilized, so I moved all his things back early this morning!"

"Oh, that's right." After all, Mrs. Shen was still a very well-mannered lady. The client didn't want to talk too much when she was beside her. She just gave her son a look and asked him to go back and talk.

Yuan Lingxiu did not show much from the beginning to the end, but just stayed beside him quietly, sitting with his back straight, calm and composed.If you are asked, you will answer, otherwise you will not interrupt.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the Shen family mansion.

The two elders went to worship their ancestors and burn incense and worship Buddha. In fact, they just went out to relax.

"Mother, after driving for a long time, you should go back to your room and rest for a while." Fearing that his mother would call Yuan Lingxiu away to embarrass him, he hurriedly said, "Lingxiu, I told Chunfeng and the others to pack up their things this morning. Come back, you go back and see what else needs to be packed?"

Mrs. Shen glanced at him, and went back to her yard without saying anything.

After making arrangements, Shen Jieran went directly to the study with his father.

"Tell me what you want to tell me."

Old Shenhou also led soldiers to fight when he was young. Although he has gained a little weight due to lack of training in recent years, he still has the aura of being a general on the battlefield.Since childhood, Shen Jieran was not afraid of his mother who liked to keep a straight face and was more serious. On the contrary, he was more afraid of his father who was always smiling.

"Father, what I want to tell you is serious." Shen Jieran was very serious.

"Oh? What's the business?" Old Master Shen asked a little funny.

Shen Jieran said seriously: "My child thinks that our family should restrain itself.
