A month later.

A simple carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Dali Temple Qing Wu Xingwang stepped out of the carriage, with his hands on his hips, looked at the gorgeous carriage parked aside, and took the horse grass from the groom's hand with great interest, Start feeding the horses.Shen Kang walked up the long palace corridor step by step. He seemed to be injured, and his walking posture was a bit awkward. When he saw Wu Xingwang, he stopped.

"Ah, ah, how can Master Shen, who is like an exile, walk? Why can't he use spells to get up and down?" Wu Xingwang slapped his forehead after speaking, his face was full of wrinkles, "Look at me, I have a bad memory , I forgot that there is a ban in the imperial city, and any spells are forbidden to be cast. Mr. Shen's tender feet, are they worn out again?"

Shen Kang smiled slightly, "Master Wu married another small wife a few days ago, Shen has not had time to congratulate Master Wu yet."

"Hey, hey! I'm serious." Wu Xingwang narrowed his eyes, and there was something in his words, "Master Shen didn't come to the wedding, but the gift money has arrived, isn't this the best result? Wu really hopes that everyone is like Mr. Shen If people don’t come and the gift money arrives, that’s really missing a lot of money for dinner.”

"It's sad and deplorable to marry an illiterate village woman, to be tainted with the bad habits of broken lips and buckle eyes, and to be an official appointed by the imperial court."

Wu Xingwang's smile froze on his face, and he laughed dryly, "Who said that this learned Confucian has a magnanimous heart and won't hate others? I'm afraid he is not as big as the tip of a needle."

"Master Wu is waiting for me here. I'm afraid he didn't come here to chat with Mr. Shen because of the shortcomings of these parents. We don't agree with each other. If we have something to say in the future, we'll just speak it out. We don't have that much friendship."

Wu Xingwang rubbed his beard and stopped laughing, "Last month, the Qingye Sword Sect missed out on the state religion, and the emperor intends to make up for it. They named you the ancestral land of the Shen family, and the Holy One also said that they would pay extra for the same fertile land, but Lord Shen is not giving in at all?"

"Where in this world is there any reason to buy and sell by force?"

"Relying on your surname Shen, you are a role model for scholars in the world, so can you be so arrogant?"

Shen Kang looked at Wu Xingwang, with a faint smile, "Why is Master Wu even more angry than the head of the Qingye Sword Sect?"

"The fortune of eating the emperor is a matter of being loyal to the emperor. Your Majesty has repeated illnesses and is in urgent need of elixir to ease his illness. As a subject, Mr. Shen does not say that he shares the worries with the Majesty, but for his own selfishness, he ignores the country and the country, and his heart can be punished!"

Shen Kang laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Shen knows it. It turns out that the Green Leaf Sword Sect couldn't get Shen's land and took away the land from Mr. Wu's house. That is the best paddy field. Where can I find such a plump paddy field? What about the huge paddy fields? The land they compensated to Mr. Wu is probably some wasteland where no crops can be grown. In this case, Mr. Wu should go to fight with the Qingye Sword Sect. No matter how bad it is, he can go to the holy Crying in front of you, why did you come to find me?"

"You! Hmph, Shen Kang, you are so arrogant that you will not have any good fruit for you sooner or later!" Wu Xingwang walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned back, "I heard that Mr. Shen traveled thousands of miles a few days ago, bringing A poor scholar came to Chang'an?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not? Can you control it?"

Wu Xingwang smiled wretchedly, "Oh, Mr. Shen is a man of heaven and earth. He is amazingly talented. How many daughters are they in their dreams? Even the current successor followed Mr. Shen when he was not out of the cabinet. , shouting 'cousin', 'cousin', a few years ago, everyone was guessing, who would Mr. Shen take a fancy to this Miss Beijing Middle School? You can only marry into the palace with tears in your eyes. Those girls have waited for a year and a year, until they are old and young, but they still don't see Mr. Shen getting married and having children."

Shen Kang's eyes turned cold, "What do you want to say?"

"Hey, there have been some rumors in the streets and alleys these years, saying that you Mr. Shen are not close to women, but only love men. I didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Mr. Shen's feat of traveling thousands of miles to pick up someone, could it be Is it really a treasure in a golden house?"

The knuckles of his fists covered in his sleeves turned white, Shen Kang weighed the pros and cons, let go of his fists, and smiled slightly, "A picky person, as it should be."

Wu Xingwang, who was just waiting to eat Shen Kang's fist, felt lost, and watched Shen Kang board the carriage and leave slowly.Wu Xingwang loosened his cheeks with a stiff smile, "What do you really think you are?" The servants brought a small bench and welcomed Wu Xingwang onto the horse.The plain carriage also left the palace gate.

In the carriage, Shen Kang took off his shoes and socks, and there were blisters on the heel and the back of the little toe of his right foot.The boy driving the horse took off his bamboo hat, "Master, your walking posture is wrong, why is your right foot worn out every time?"

Shen Kang rubbed his feet, "Everyone's left and right hands and feet are slightly different. My right foot is much bigger than my left foot. But if the shoes are too big, the left shoe will fall out."

After a while of silence, the boy laughed loudly, "Master, you have been wearing small shoes all the time!"

"go with!"

"Then why don't you ask someone to make the shoe on your right foot a size bigger? The village woman you brought back last time has a pretty good handiwork. You can ask her to change the shoe."

Shen Kang closed his eyes and meditated, "No need."

"Hey, you are just afraid that other people's rough hands and feet will break your precious shoes."

Thinking of Gu Minhuai's family, Shen Kang felt a little irritated. When he first met Gu Minhuai at the county government office, he saw that the man was boastful and eloquent.Although the article is so-so, it is an exam-oriented work, and nothing can be seen.So he brought his family to Chang'an.Who would have thought that after a month of contact, I found that Gu Minhuai is really a mediocre person, definitely not someone who can do great things.

Seeing that Shen Kang was silent, the young man thought he was asleep, so he drove the carriage with peace of mind, but suddenly heard Shen Kang calling his name.

"Yuan'er. How heavy do you think that Gu Minhuai is?"

Yuan'er replied without thinking: "You are mediocre, but..."

"But what?"

"His son is very strange." Yuan'er fell into memory. "That child walked very slowly, his expression was very dull, and when he looked at things, his eyes basically didn't move, not as lively and agile as a child. But he is not stupid, even very Smart, because he speaks very organized. Last time I dropped something and was very anxious. The kid said to me, don’t worry, think about where you have been. You like horses. Could it be that you fell in a manger? inside."

"Another time, it was Ye Ling who went out to watch a cockfight. Master, guess what that kid said?"

Shen Kang thought of the child crying "Master, I was wrong" in his arms last time, and felt a little strange, "What did he say?"

"He said to Ye Ling, are you really happy living like this?"

Shen Kang burst out laughing, "Then what?"

"Ye Ling's face turned red immediately, and she was very annoyed, scolding what a child knows. The child's eyes were very calm, and he said, when he had nothing to say, he tried to use age and status to suppress others. Why haven't you changed at all? ? In my previous life... I'm afraid it was also a waste."
