Princess, please respect yourself

Nothing to lose. "

"I..." Ziluan bowed her head guiltily, "I'm afraid that if I fail the exam, I will lose face to my parents."

"What are you afraid of!" Mei Gu scolded, "It's just for fun, come back to us when you're done playing, we will definitely help you find a good family and keep you safe forever."

Ziluan was startled when she heard the words, looked up at Meigu, then at Yan Qixia, and said, "You really want me to take the exam?"

Mei Gu sighed, and said: "Silly boy, you have already learned my disguise technique very well. Your father also taught you all the formulas of Qinggong, although you can't practice at his level for a while, but Don't forget to practice at ordinary times, even if you encounter any danger, you can still run."

Meeting by chance and being loved so much, Zi Luan couldn't help but threw herself into Gu Mei's arms and cried, sobbing, "Mother, I actually lied to you, I'm..."

"Good boy, don't say any more." Meigu touched Ziluan's head, tears welling up in her eyes, "We didn't even want to know who you were before, but we knew you were our child, no matter how far you go, remember Come back and see us."

Ziluan said sadly: "I'm afraid that I will go to the mountains and rivers..."

Mei Gu hurriedly covered Ziluan's mouth, and said: "My darling, don't say such frustrating words, you will surely be lucky when you go out this time, and there will be no danger."

At first, she thought that she would spend her whole life in the mountains and forests, but she didn't expect that there was still hope for revenge. Ziluan had so many thoughts in her heart that she couldn't express it, and finally she could only nod her head repeatedly.

☆、Sign up

Early the next morning, Ziluan got dressed and was ready to go out.Before leaving, Yan Qixia handed Ziluan a small package, and said: "Son, you are going out this time, disguised as a man, so be careful, don't miss out."

Mei Gu also warned: "Don't trust men!"

Ziluan took the package and carried it on her back, glanced at the winding path down the mountain in the deep woods, turned around and knelt down to bid farewell to the elders, almost crying: "Father, mother, I'm actually afraid..."

"Don't cry! Be careful with the disguise on your face!" Mei Gu exclaimed, then stroked Zi Luan's hair and comforted her: "Don't worry about us, we've all lived to this age, so we naturally have the ability to protect ourselves."

"No, it's because I've never gone out alone..." Ziluan looked at Meigu helplessly.

Mei Gu was touched, wiped her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "My poor brother, I never went out by myself."

Yan Qixia put her arms around Meigu's shoulders, and cast a reproachful look at Ziluan.

Zi Luan saw Mei Gu thinking of her son who died young again, and couldn't bear it, so she put her arms around Mei Gu's thigh and persuaded: "Mother, don't cry, I'm a hundred years old, you two must take care of yourself, wait for me to be your son." Senior officials, take you to enjoy your blessings!"

After finishing speaking, Ziluan didn't give herself time to hesitate, stood up quickly, turned around and ran down the mountain, shouting while running: "Father! Mother! Don't worry, see how good my lightness kung fu is!" The vine tripped, turned several somersaults, and rolled down the mountain.

Yan Qixia wanted to go over to help, but Meigu hurriedly stopped him and persuaded her, "She thinks about revenge day and night, so she must let her go out and go out for a while and suffer a little bit, so she realizes that she always has to pay back when she comes out, don't keep thinking about it." This one hates that one."

Fortunately, Ziluan didn't practice in vain these few months. She only rolled a few times and grabbed the passing branches in a hurry. Finally, she finally stabilized her figure. She was ashamed to show off, and slowly descended the mountain step by step with her head down.

Turning around a mountain depression, Ziluan quietly turned her head back, and found that her adoptive father and adoptive mother were no longer in sight, so she breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head to arrange her clothes, shoes and socks, and found that her hair bun fell loose, opened the small package on her back to look, Sure enough, there was a small mirror in it, and an ordinary mahogany comb, and other than that, there was only a suit of clothes and a little silver.

Ziluan first looked in the mirror to see if there was any damage to the disguise on her face, then she loosened her hair and combed it again, looked down to see some mud stuck to the hem of her clothes, picked up the clean set of clothes in her bag Shaking it off, hesitating whether to change it or not, a piece of paper fell out of his clothes. When he picked it up, he saw that it was a certificate with a big and small official seal, saying that his name was Yan Baisui, from Baoshan. Anding Township.

After reading the proof, Ziluan raised her head silently, not letting the tears fall from her eyes. In the past, the days of caring and BMW, hugging each other, seemed like a lifetime away, but now, with no relatives, no money - even her face is so ugly .

Zi Luan's eyes looked over among the lush branches and leaves, and he saw the blue sky and white clouds, he heard the birdsong in the secluded forest, and the natural fragrance of pine branches came from his nose, everything was so full of vitality.

This vivid beauty gave Ziluan courage. Ziluan clenched her fists and said in a low voice: "I'm still alive! I'm still alive! The sky will not stop me, and I want me to do justice for the sky! I will definitely not disappoint this Heaven."

Ziluan put the package on her back again, and without hesitation, walked down the mountain cautiously, to the unknown world. There may be a gentle hometown in the world of flowers and flowers, or it may be a purgatory on earth, but as long as you have faith in your heart, you will not forget your original intention , not afraid of hardships and dangers, there will be a day of reincarnation in heaven, and the day when karma will be repaid.

Down the mountain is the official road, there is a carriage parked by the side of the road, a coachman wearing a big bamboo hat is enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree beside the road, seeing Ziluan standing at the intersection looking around, not knowing which direction to go, so he goes up to talk to her : "Is this handsome guy going to the capital to take the exam?"

Ziluan lowered her head and whispered after a long time: "It's so cool there..."

The coachman coughed twice, suppressed a smile and continued to solicit business: "Little handsome guy, why don't you hire my carriage? I specialize in running this route, so just ask if you have any requests. The door is clear! You just need to pay me, you don’t have to worry about everything, I guarantee your satisfaction.”

Ziluan asked about the price, and felt that the price was not too expensive—it only needed half of the whole package, so she agreed, and before getting into the car, she imitated Li's mother and frightened the driver: "Don't lie to me. , Liars will go to Avici Hell!"

The coachman nodded repeatedly and agreed: "The little handsome guy is smart and literate, how could he be fooled by such a rough man like me? Hurry up and sit in the car!"

Seeing that Ziluan climbed into the car and sat down, put the curtains on the car, the coachman sat in the front, swung the long whip in his hand, made three crisp sounds in succession, and shouted loudly: "Let's go now!"

Ziluanzi was a little surprised in the car, opened the small curtain in front and asked, "What are you doing? Why do you seem to be telling someone that you are leaving?"

The coachman was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Yes! I just want to tell the passing gods that we are about to leave, and ask them to bless us for a safe journey."

"Oh!" Ziluan suddenly realized, and rested on the cushion in the car with peace of mind.

The coachman drove the horses forward and walked slowly. A woman riding a donkey came up and walked forward with the carriage. The coachman turned his head and smiled at the woman, jokingly calling: "Sister Immortal!"

Ziluan heard the coachman's words, thinking that the woman must be a great beauty, curiously leaned over the car window and looked over, saw the woman riding the donkey with a high nose and wide mouth, a huge beauty mole on her lip, and a hairpin on her ear. A big red flower, dressed in grass-green silk and wrapped in fat, looks like a big rice dumpling. Seeing Ziluan looking over, she grinned and almost shook off the white powder on her face.

Ziluan nodded politely in return, and only covered her mouth and snickered when she returned to the car.

Seeing that Zi Luan was not suspicious, the coachman and the woman looked at each other and smiled, and made bold jokes along the way, until they separated for the night.

------------

I thought the capital was far away in the sky, but I didn't expect Xiaoxing to stay outside the capital in just four days.

Ziluan saw the tall city wall of the capital from a distance in the car, so she asked the driver to stop the carriage, got out of the car, handed the fare to the driver, and said sincerely: "Just send it here."

The coachman was taken aback and asked, "Don't you need to take you into the city?"

Ziluan shook her head with a smile, and said: "No need, this place is not far from the capital, I can walk there by myself and have some fun along the way."

The coachman was silent for a while, took the silver, took his leave and left.

Ziluan watched the carriage leave silently at the same spot, until there was no trace left, then turned and walked towards the capital.

Foster father and mother, you have done enough. Since I have chosen this path, I have to go on my own, and I must not drag you down.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city saw Ziluan's vulgar appearance and only brought a small package with him, so they asked Ziluan to enter the city after a few simple questions.

Walking into the city gate, Ziluan saw several portraits of wanted criminals posted on the city wall. From a distance, most of them were men with vicious faces, and only one was a young woman, but it seemed that it had been worn out for a long time. yellowing.

Going closer and taking a closer look, it reads: Shen Ziluan, daughter of the collaborator and traitor Shen Molin, was captured alive and rewarded with fifty gold...

Ziluan felt the blood pouring up, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't even see what was written behind her, she just subconsciously turned around and walked away, faster and faster, and finally ran away, until she was exhausted, she knelt down on the ground, covering her hands with her hands. face, began to cry.

How could you collude with the enemy and treason?Zi Luan could not accept this matter anyway.

For Ziluan, Shen Molin is like a landmark, standing in front of the journey of life, engraved with such decent words as strength, justice, loyalty, and wisdom.Every word I overheard that day was deeply etched in my mind, and it emerged at this moment:

It is unkind to trap the common people in misery, disregarding the safety of their wives and children is unloving, it is disloyal to the upper Yin and Yang Yang, and it is unrighteous to deceive and deceive the lower. Unfaithful and unrighteous people!Also ask the special envoy to leave quickly!

However, there is another voice in the ear:

"No matter how you look at it, it's a lie."

"Maybe it was just for you to see."

"It's really going downhill..."

"No! My father won't lie to me, my father has never lied to me!" Ziluan couldn't help raising her head to refute loudly, but her forehead hit two fingers, so scared that Ziluan even forgot to cry , looking at the past along the fingers, a young man is staring wide-eyed in astonishment.

Ziluan and the young man stared at each other for a moment, and in the end, the young man reacted quickly and continued, "...we should set an example, treat people with sincerity first, and then we can influence the world!"

Those around him applauded and agreed, the scholar who was speaking withdrew his fingers, bowed to the left and right to express his thanks, and then stretched out his palm to Ziluan, and said kindly: "Brother Tai is so heartbroken, but what's the problem?"

Ziluan hurriedly got up from the ground, took a sneak peek at the other party, and saw that the young man was dressed as a scholar, wearing plain cloth clothes, but a piece of high-quality suet jade was hanging on his waist, and in the other hand was holding a handful that looked like It is an ordinary folding fan, but the bones of the fan are made of agarwood.

Seeing that Ziluan was silent, the young man asked again: "Surely brother is also here to sign up?"

"Sign up?" Zi Luan asked in surprise.

"That's right!" After finishing speaking, the young man moved his hands back gracefully, and the group of people around him immediately separated to the two sides, revealing a large wooden sign standing on the ground: Enke Exam Registration Office.

Ziluan was startled, she didn't expect to come here by accident, it was God's will, so she had to thank: "Thank you for your guidance, I will sign up here."

After speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his face carefully, walked around the crowd and walked to the registration office. When he got closer, he found that there was a line of small characters written under the sign: registration fee five taels.

Ziluan was stunned, with only four taels of scattered silver left on her body, she thought about it, and finally refused to give up, so she took a few steps forward, and saw behind the big sign was a temporary arbor with a table inside. A long-faced civil servant sat there with one hand resting on his forehead and the other holding a pen, closing his eyes and meditating.

Ziluan hesitated for a moment, stepped forward bravely, and discussed in a low voice: "Sir, I am Yan Baisui from Anding Township, Baoshan, and the registration fee is only a little short. Can you be more accommodating..."

The civil servant didn't lift his eyelids, just pointed to the side with a pen, Ziluan looked in the direction of the pen, and saw a line of small characters behind the sign: no credit, no honor.

Ziluan bit her lip, endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and asked scoldingly, "Isn't it Kai Enke? Five taels of silver is enough to buy a little girl. Where do ordinary people have so much spare money?"

"So ordinary people don't always think about trying their luck to take some Enke exams, it's good to be a down-to-earth person!"

Ziluan was furious when she heard the words, turned around and saw that it was the boy who spoke just now, the boy opened his folding fan, and slowly walked over step by step, the civil servant who was still like a statue just now was as if he had been blown into a fairy "Bang" came alive, stood up and bowed again and again, and greeted the boy respectfully: "Young Master Chen is right, if you are poor, you should not study. Farming, raising pigs, are all serving the country in the same way."

Mr. Chen closed his paper fan and said solemnly: "However, the law is nothing more than human feelings. This brother is full of knowledge at first glance. Wouldn't it be a pity, a pity, and a pity that the country would lose a pillar of talent because of a mere five taels of silver?" ?”

The civil servant was embarrassed, his frowning eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled down looked like a "fork" that prohibited passage.

Mr. Chen smiled slightly, and took out a bulging money bag.

Ziluan refused with a sullen face: "No need, I will find a way myself."

Mr. Chen said in surprise: "But the registration will be closed soon, isn't it?"

Zi Luan looked at the civil servant suspiciously, and the civil servant pointed to a small wooden sign on the table, which read: Registration ends today.

"This...why didn't I see this thing just now?" Ziluan asked puzzled.

Mr. Chen persuaded: "Brother, don't be polite. This money is not for you. I lent you. When you get rich, you will have to pay back the money with interest."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ziluan to refuse, he took out a five-liang silver coin from his purse and threw it to the civil servant. Ziluan registered successfully.

☆, reunion

Ziluan was dumbfounded in surprise, and seeing that Ziluan didn't speak, the civil official reminded: "Why don't you thank Chen Xiaotong, Young Master Chen?"

"You are Chen Xiaotong? Then Chen Shubao, Minister of Rites..."

"It's my father." Chen Xiaotong said happily: "It seems that brother Yan is still an old acquaintance."

Ziluan laughed dryly: "I don't dare to tell the old acquaintance, I just heard someone mention it."

Chen Xiaotong closed his folding fan and clapped his palms together, he said with a smile: "It's true that we never meet again in life, brother Yan, why don't you have a light meal at Xia's house, and pay a visit to Xia's father by the way."

With a thought in mind, Ziluan nodded in agreement.

The two of them came out of the shed, and the group of scholars who were waiting outside rushed forward, praising Chen Xiaotong for being anxious about others, for having the legacy of ancient sages, even Ziluan blushed when he heard that, but Chen Xiaotong was very happy and invited Let's all go home and have dinner together.

Ziluan was brought outside, standing awkwardly behind the crowd, but fortunately Chen Xiaotong still remembered her, turned around and took her hand affectionately and walked along.

It was the first time for Ziluan to be so intimate with a man. All her thoughts were on her clasped hands, her nervous palms were covered with sweat, and she turned a deaf ear to other people's discussions along the way. Fortunately, the Chen residence was not far from the registration place, and soon everyone came arrive.

After entering the living room, Chen Xiaotong ignored Ziluan's refusal, and forced her to sit beside him, and everyone else sat down one after another, either envious or envious.

A servant brought fragrant tea, and Ziluan finally got rid of Chen Xiaotong's hand by toasting to drink the tea.

Chen Xiaotong didn't care, just looked at Ziluan with a smile.

Ziluan lowered her head and took a sip of tea, frowning.

Chen Xiaotong hurriedly asked: "Brother Yan is unhappy, but this tea doesn't taste right?"

Ziluan shook her head, was silent for a while, and then replied: "The scent of this tea reminds me of my childhood."

Some people in the audience who were dissatisfied with Zi Luan made things difficult for a long time: "I can't see that this man is not only beautiful, but also has research on tea. Can you comment on this tea?"

Ziluan was stunned when she heard the words, and looked down, the tea level was like a mirror, showing a clean little face, presumably she accidentally lost the disguise on her face when she was crying, and she was frightened for a while.

Seeing that Ziluan's face turned pale, the man pretended to remind him: "Brother Yan, can you tell whether this Longjing is from before the rain or after the rain?"

Ziluan was taken aback when he heard the words, and replied casually: "Isn't this Lu'an Guapian? When we were young, our family was poor, so we could only drink this kind of low-grade one. It has been a few years since I drank it."

Everyone present looked sideways, Ziluan realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and was very embarrassed, only Chen Xiaotong laughed and said: "Brother Yan is so funny!"

The rest of the people could only laugh along with them.

During the dinner, everyone talked about Enke, and someone flattered: "Brother Chen is talented, this time Enke will definitely be on the list!"

Chen Xiaotong smiled and said nothing, someone else answered for him: "Brother Chen is going to be a son-in-law, what does it matter if he doesn't pass the exam? He can't be an official."

Hearing that Ziluan's hands trembled, she almost threw away her chopsticks, and asked with a forced smile, "So Brother Chen and the Princess have a marriage contract."

Chen Xiaotong laughed and said: "Don't listen to their jokes, what good is being a son-in-law? I heard that Princess Xianggui wears a white gauze every time she sees people. She must be too ugly to see people."

Someone received: "How can she be ugly? That Princess Xianggui has a strange fragrance and a slender figure. No matter how you look at it, she is a great beauty."

Chen Xiaotong sneered and said, "If you're not ugly, you can't get married at the age of 20?"

Everyone laughed again, only Ziluan was in a state of anxiety and didn't know what to eat.

During the meal, Chen Xiaotong whispered to Ziluan quietly: "Brother Yan, don't rush away, come with me to see my father."

Zi Luan nodded in agreement.

At the end of the meal, everyone said goodbye and left, Ziluan deliberately left behind, after Chen Xiaotong sent everyone away, he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Ziluan, Ziluan pretended to tidy up his clothes and dodge.

Chen Xiaotong had no choice but to put down his hands in embarrassment, and led Ziluan to the inner study.

From the outside, the Chen Mansion looks dilapidated and small, but when you walk inside, you find that the Chen Mansion covers a large area, full of pavilions, rockery, flowers and trees.

Chen Xiaotong deliberately slowed down, and asked: "Brother Yan, today you mentioned your father outside the registration office, but what are your difficulties?"

Zi Luan pondered for a while, and said: "Before I came to the capital, my father told me that I put a hundred taels of gold in my package, but when I arrived in the capital, I found that the package was empty. Forgive me."

Chen Xiaotong couldn't help laughing, teasingly said: "There is a hundred taels of gold in the package, how heavy is that? You didn't notice it?"

Zi Luan could only laugh along with him, Chen Xiaotong thought about it and said: "Maybe it's not necessarily a bank note, it's hidden in the middle of the clothes or somewhere."

Ziluan nodded again and again, and echoed: "Yes, yes, I will look for it when I am free."

While speaking, he reached outside the door of the inner study room, the clever book boy went in to ask for instructions, and soon came out to respectfully invite Chen Xiaotong to go in.

Chen Xiaotong turned to Ziluan and said: "Brother Yan, wait here for a while, I will report to my father first."

Ziluan nodded and agreed, when Chen Xiaotong walked into the study, looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly performed lightness kung fu and approached the study window.

Looking in from the window, I saw a tall desk in the study. Behind the desk sat a man of about forty years old with a kind face and a beautiful beard. He was sitting behind the desk reading posts when he heard footsteps. He put down the post in his hand, raised his head and asked, "I heard that you are in the limelight again today, sponsoring a kid from a poor family?"

Chen Xiaotong bowed deeply to the old man first, and then replied respectfully: "Brother Yan is dressed in ordinary clothes, but he is a romantic person, and his speech and behavior are also quite elegant, so he must not be someone in the pool."

"Hmph!" Chen Shubao sneered, "You don't know where the shabby household came from, and you are bullying you when you are young and ignorant."

"Father." Chen Xiaotong said embarrassedly, "I have grown up, and I know how to tell a person apart."

"Yes, you have grown up." Chen Shubao continued, "I want to talk to you about your marriage today."

Chen Xiaotong choked for a moment.

"That person's house was ransacked, and I was almost implicated. After thinking about it, I think it's safe to marry the emperor. Now the emperor intends to marry Princess Xianggui. I want to see if I can make this marriage."

Chen Xiaotong choked his neck and did not speak.

Chen Shubao heaved a long sigh, and persuaded him: "I know you disdain these tricks, but you haven't seen that person? A moment of carelessness, the whole family has no chickens and dogs, you also share it for me, don't always be with those people who are sycophants .”

Chen Xiaotong argued: "Brother Yan has a noble character, and he is outside now. If you have seen him, you will know that what I said is true."

Chen Shubao was furious, picked up a stack of posts and slammed them on Chen Xiaotong's head, cursing: "Little bastard, you know how to spend time and money every day, do you think it's because of you that they hang around you? Don't you want to get me?" This is a good thing! I have worked hard to plan for you, you are good, you only think about those cronies, get out! Go and copy the family motto a hundred times!"

Seeing this, Chen Xiaotong didn't dare to refute. After saluting, he turned and left. Ziluan quickly sneaked back to where he was originally standing and waited.

Soon Chen Xiaotong came out of the study with a sullen face, saw Ziluan forced a smile, and said: "My father is tired, let's see you another day."

Ziluan waved her hands again and again, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I've only admired your name for a long time, and I want to see the style, since it's not a coincidence, then I'll take my leave first."

"Brother Yan, don't go!" Chen Xiaotong stepped forward and held Ziluan's hand tightly, Ziluan wanted to pull it back, but unexpectedly Chen Xiaotong grabbed it even tighter, Ziluan said anxiously: "Brother Chen Speak well, please let go first."

Seeing that Ziluan was in distress, Chen Xiaotong became happy instead, let go of his hand and joked: "Brother Yan, why is he like a woman? I just want to ask if you have a place to stay in the capital."

Seeing Ziluan pondering, Chen Xiaotong continued: "The Enke exam is coming soon, and there are no vacant rooms in the nearby inn. Why don't you stay here, brother Yan? You and I can review together, so we can discuss it from time to time. one time."

Ziluan thought about the little money in her package, nodded in agreement, "That's it, I'm sorry to bother you."

Chen Xiaotong was overjoyed, and personally led Ziluan to the guest room, chatted for a long time before leaving.

After seeing off Chen Xiaotong, Ziluan loosened her hair, lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and opened the window, and saw a full moon hanging in the sky like a silver basin, illuminating the small courtyard with every detail.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Ziluan came to the courtyard, recalling the past, feeling as if a knife was piercing her heart for a moment, she folded her hands together and silently prayed to the moon: May the murderer pay with blood.

Someone replied: "If you wish, you will make the murderer pay with blood!"

Ziluan was overjoyed, thinking that it was a sign from the gods, and asked: "Can the Shangxian tell my father if it is true... that he has done something wrong to the emperor?"

After finishing speaking, Zi Luan felt a darkness in front of her eyes, her shoulders were tightly grasped, and she hurriedly opened her eyes. Under the moonlight, she saw a man in black standing in front of her, with a black veil covering her face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, she was so frightened. When he was about to scream, the man in black quickly covered Ziluan's mouth with one hand to stop her screaming, pulled down the veil with the other hand, and said with a smile: "It's me."

Seeing that Zi Luan stopped struggling, the man in black slowly let go of his hand. Zi Luan stared blankly at the person in front of him, then grabbed the clothes on his chest with both hands, and asked sharply: "The special envoy Daddy met that day was you, aren't you?" ? Just because my father doesn't want to be with you, you framed him, right?"

The man in black quickly grabbed Ziluan's hand and whispered: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go into the room and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, before Ziluan agreed, she stretched her arms and lightly embraced Ziluan's slender waist, stepped into the bedroom, closed the door and window, pulled Ziluan to sit side by side by the bed, and then explained softly: "I'm going to give your father The reporter—someone in the court wanted to harm him. I didn't expect your father to say anything and refused to believe me. He thought I was trying to pull him to betray the emperor. I had to mediate for him in the court. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. I only had time to ask for your pardon, but when I caught up with you, I still didn't have time to save you."

After finishing speaking, the man in black asked, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that Ziluan didn't answer, the man in black asked himself and answered: "Yes, you are here to find your former fiancé, right? Seeing that you can still live in the first-class guest room, it must be because you haven't revealed your identity yet?"

"Then why are you here?" Zi Luan asked back.

"I..." The man in black paused, and replied seriously: "I just watched the sky at night and found that the sky above the Minister of Rites' Mansion was full of precious light, so I knew there must be a high-quality treasure in this world. I am afraid that this treasure will flow into the world." The rivers and lakes caused blood and rain, and the people were in dire straits, so I came here in disguise to have a look."

"Really?" Ziluan's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Then did you find that treasure?"

The man in black nodded and said, "I found it."

"where is it?"

The man in black touched Ziluan's nose with his finger, and said with a smile, "It's you!"

The author has something to say: I am too sleepy, the number of words is slightly less, and I will try to have more tomorrow.

☆, recognize relatives

Ziluan couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Sister Long can make jokes."

"What I said is true. To me, you are a big baby, and you won't change a dragon chair."

After hearing this, Ziluan laughed even happier, afraid that she would lose her composure by laughing, so she turned around and lay down on the bed, her shoulders twitched as she laughed, and sat up straight again after a while, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and saying: "It's been a long time I’ve never been this happy, it’s great to see old friends.”

"Yeah, it's great to see an old friend." Sister Long also sighed, "Just now I thought it was your ghost—but it's too dangerous for you to stay here, I have to send you to a safe place."

"I won't go!" Ziluan shook her head firmly and refused, "Although I showed my true colors carelessly for a while, everyone who knew Shen Ziluan was dead, and even the portraits on the wall were only five points similar. What's more, I had already signed up If you participate in Enke, if you are lucky enough to pass the exam, you will have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and ask the emperor to avenge my father's grievances!"

"Don't think things are so simple. The official career is dangerous. If you take one wrong step, you will never recover. You will be infamous through the ages. Besides, it is so easy to pass the exam?"

"You have to try it to know if it works."

Sister Long persuaded: "You should stay away from the place of right and wrong, and leave the matter to me, and I will give you an explanation sooner or later."

Ziluan showed a miserable face, and gritted her teeth: "Sister Long, this bloody feud, how can I pretend to be someone else's hand?"

Sister Long pondered for a moment, and said: "Perhaps this is your destiny. Since you are determined to do so, I will definitely support it with all my strength. But even if you can meet the emperor one day, don't bring up any grievances. Otherwise, not only will you have no hope of revenge, but you will probably still be angry." implicate others."

"How can I be so stupid!" Ziluan said dissatisfiedly, "I will definitely tell him in private, after all, he gave the order, and that will make him admit that he was wrong in public."

"Eh..." Sister Long was stunned, and then said: "There is no rush for these things, and it will not be too late to think about these things after you pass the exam. Tell me what your status is now."

"I met a very nice old couple, they not only saved me, but also gave me a new identity - their son Yan Baisui."

After finishing speaking, Ziluan took out the paper certificate from the package and handed it to Sister Long. Sister Long took it to the window, glanced at it by the moonlight, and then returned it to Ziluan, saying with a smile: "Then you have to study carefully." Oh, maybe you can become the number one scholar in the exam and become a son-in-law."

"My sister was joking again, you know that I am a girl, how can I be a son-in-law? That is not to delay the princess's life."

Sister Long smiled without saying a word, took off a pendant from her waist, and tied it to Ziluan's belt.

There was insufficient light in the room, so I couldn't see what it was. Zi Luan picked up the pendant and stroked it carefully, and felt that the pendant was neither gold nor jade, but a stone.Qidao: "What is this?"

"It's just a stone, which is consecrated by an eminent monk occasionally. Carrying it on your body can turn bad luck into good fortune and make your wishes come true."

"Oh." Seeing that it was just a rock, Zi Luan accepted it with confidence.

Seeing that Ziluan was happy, Sister Long couldn't help stretching out her fingers and swipe Ziluan's face. The tentacles were smooth, as expected of icy muscles and jade bones, so she told Ziluan carefully: "You are so beautiful, you will never forget it if you see it." , you have to be careful about the crime of being pregnant in the future, and don't let those crazy bees and butterflies take advantage of it."

Ziluan was secretly annoyed when she heard what Chen Xiaotong had done.

Seeing Ziluan's sudden silence, Sister Long immediately understood, stretched out her hand to lift her chin, forced her to look at her, and asked coldly, "Who is it? I'll kill him to vent your anger."

"My sister is serious. It's just the first time for me to dress up in men's clothing, and I'm not used to it."

Sister Long snorted coldly, thinking about what to do, seeing that it was getting late and the days to come would be long, so she told Ziluan to rest as soon as possible, and then left.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Xiaotong excitedly came over to ask Zi Luan to have breakfast together, but seeing Zi Luan's complexion sallow, lying on the bed, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and asked: "Brother Yan, where is there?" Comfortable?"

Ziluan coughed a few times, pretended to get up from the bed reluctantly, and said: "It's okay, it's an old problem, and I have to commit it twice every spring and autumn."

Chen Xiaotong hurriedly asked the servant to invite the doctor, but Ziluan stopped him and said, "Brother Yan, I'll go see the doctor myself."

Chen Xiaotong stomped anxiously, "Don't want to see someone else, I'll ask someone to call the doctor. If you leave, let people know, wouldn't it mean that I don't treat guests well?"

Ziluan had no choice but to lie back on the bed, and said to Chen Xiaotong: "This is very good, Brother Chen, please go back, don't get over my sickness."

Chen Xiaotong hesitated and didn't want to leave, a young servant had already stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Jin Ti, please go back, when the master asks about it later, we will be punished again."

Chen Xiaotong had no choice but to leave, leaving a servant to take care of Ziluan before leaving.

Seeing that Chen Xiaotong was gone, the young man ignored Zi Luan and sat on the ground leaning against the table to doze off.

Ziluan ignored him, lay on the bed and fell asleep again, until she was woken up by the boy's rude shaking, she opened her eyes and saw a doctor with white beard waiting beside the bed.

The doctor took a look at Ziluan's clothes, roughly felt his pulse, decided it was "wind-cold", prescribed medicine and left in a hurry.

The boy held out the medicine list and asked Ziluan for money to buy the medicine. Ziluan quickly got up from the bed, snatched the medicine list from the boy's hand and said, "I'll get the medicine myself. Go and bid farewell to Mr. Chen."

The young man curled his lips and led Ziluan out through the back door of Chen's residence, and stood at the door and bowed casually to Ziluan as farewell.

Ziluan saw too many people tending to power and the world is so cold, so she didn't take the rudeness of a servant to heart, thinking that she could get rid of Chen Xiaotong immediately, she was secretly happy, turned around and left quickly, before she went far, she suddenly heard Chen Xiaotong Someone shouted: "Don't let Yan Baisui go!"

Before Ziluan turned back to look around, the farewell boy at the door flew forward like a chicken blood, and a mountain of Taishan pressed Ziluan to the ground, and said in a dirty voice: "I have seen something wrong with you for a long time. ! Did anyone run away as soon as they left the house?”

Poor Ziluan was so crushed that she almost lost her life, but soon someone came and kicked the little servant off, scolding: "How can you be so unreasonable to the honorable guest!"

Another person lifted Ziluan from the ground, graciously helped Ziluan beat the dust on her body, and asked repeatedly: "Where did you get hurt?"

Ziluan calmed down for a while and took a breath, only to realize that four or five servants came out from the back door of the Chen Mansion to surround her, and the person who was talking to her was a man who looked like a housekeeper, so she asked guiltily: "What do you want me to do? "

"Oh, young master, don't misunderstand, it's the master who invites you." The butler smiled all over his face.

Ziluan opened her mouth wide in surprise, and asked, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"It can't be wrong! The master specially wrote a letter in his own handwriting and asked us to treat the young master well. It can't be wrong!" The housekeeper nodded and bowed again and again.

Ziluan said loudly: "I am Yan Baisui!"

The housekeeper brought a group of servants to kneel down, and said: "Master! Master! Your lord doesn't care about villains, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly. Please don't care about us like servants. If you leave without saying goodbye, we can't help you!" Can't bear it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ziluan to refuse, she got up from the ground, and pulled Ziluan back to the mansion from the main gate, and placed her in a clean place.
