Since Xiaonian entered Prince Yu's Mansion, Jian Xingyuan, who had already separated from his family, often brought his wife and children to live in Jian's Mansion temporarily to accompany his father.

Jian's mansion is a courtyard with three entrances. Originally, the innermost row of back rooms was for female relatives who had not left the pavilion, but the two generations of Jian's family were all male. Except for Jian Wu's family, there were no female relatives at all, so now it is allocated to Jian Xingyuan's family lives alone.

When Xiaonian heard that Jian Xiaoling was locked up by his uncle, he hurried over and found that the door of Xiaoling's room was not locked, but he was ordered not to come out.

Entering the room, Xiaonian saw his cousin holding a volume of books and reading at a glance. He heard him come in, but he didn't even lift his head.

It wasn't until Xiaonian closed the door that he stood up suddenly, leaning against the door panel furtively to listen to the movement outside.

Xiaonian was in a daze at first, but he was even more confused when he saw this scene. He was about to ask, "What happened..." Xiaoling covered his mouth neatly, and was dragged into the room half-carried and half-dragged.

"Keep your voice down, my mother has sent a girl to guard outside!" Xiaoling gently pushed Xiaonian onto the bed, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed, with the appearance of "you are not allowed to expose me".

Xiaonian managed to get up, took off his shoes and got on the bed like him, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on, grandfather said that you were locked up by uncle, and aunt let sister Tiandong watch you?"

Before he entered the house, he saw Tiandong, the servant girl next to his aunt Jian Wu, standing in the porch to greet him. Hearing what Xiaoling said, he felt that the situation was even more serious.

Xiaoling didn't feel it when he was sitting just now, but after being dragged into the inner room by him, Xiaonian realized that his cousin seemed to have turned his head again. A few months ago, he was only a little taller than him, but now he is half a step taller. head off.

Jian Xiaoling pretended not to hear at first, but after Xiaonian pinched his arm, he faltered and said: "Isn't it because I had a stomachache last year and didn't make it through... It's a big holiday, my mother is nagging at this time, it's annoying."

Hearing this, Xiaonian immediately tugged at his ears, widened his eyes and said, "Just lie to me like this, when did my aunt ever talk about you with such a thing!"

Jian Wu's family is gentle and virtuous, even if she was discussed by the wives around because of Xiaonian, she never showed any dissatisfaction. She has always treated her son and nephew meticulously and gently, and it is impossible to "nagging" like Xiaoling said.

Even if she really nags, it's definitely not because her son failed an exam!

Thinking of this, Xiaonian pretended to be angry: "If you don't tell me the truth, then I don't want to talk to you anymore." As he spoke, he made a gesture to get out of bed and put on his shoes.

Jian Xiaoling rushed over and hugged his waist, and said anxiously: "Oh, don't go, I've been staying in the house for several days, and I finally hoped for your return. Later, you will beg your uncle to let him go out to play. chant."

In the family, if anyone's words carry weight, the first is grandfather Jian, and the second is Xiaonian.

But Jian Xingyuan would never refuse anything Xiaonian wanted, and he was a little more careful than his own son.

So when Jian Xiaoling got into trouble or wanted something valuable since he was a child, as long as he "pushed" Xiaonian to be with him, it would be fine.

Hearing what he said, Xiaonian pushed Xiaoling's head, but didn't push it away, and could only say angrily, "What about your uncle, your uncle's, that's your father!"

Unexpectedly, the person involved immediately answered, muttering: "Who's father is so cruel, he locked me in the house for several days, didn't let me out of the room, and didn't allow the kitchen to cook meat for me. I want to be hungry. Damn me...you don't know, you finally went to the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing, and I didn't eat a bite of the fresh venison you brought back!" In fact, when my grandfather came to visit him, he secretly stuffed a bowl of stewed meat, but At this time, in order to express his resentment, he selectively "forgot".

"You tell me honestly, what is the reason that uncle wants to lock you up?" Xiaonian thought for a while and said, "Last time you said that you wanted to read the next few volumes of General Collection, which happened to be in the palace, so I will give you all of them." Borrowed, if you dare to lie to me, don't even think about reading the book."

Xiaoling's eyes lit up when he heard his cousin's words, and he hugged him even tighter, but he was still hesitating about what to say, so he fell silent for a while.After a while, he continued: "Brother, I want to participate in this year's martial arts."

The imperial examination and martial arts examination in Jizhou were not held in the same year. In the seventh year of Jixing, the children's examination and the autumn examination were just conducted, so the evaluation of Wu Xiucai was held in the second year, that is, in the eighth year of Jixing.

The two cousins ​​are of the same age, only a few months apart. Xiaonian was weak when he was a child, but Jian Xiaoling, who was healthy and strong, was extroverted and loved him, so he was somewhat like Xiaonian's elder brother.

The two brothers have grown up so much, even if Jian Xiaoling asks for something on weekdays, at most it is because of Xiaonian's mischief, and there are only a handful of times when he takes the initiative to call Xiaonian "brother".

Xiaonian hadn't finished enjoying the fun of being an older brother when his eyes widened in shock at the last sentence: "You want to participate in martial arts?!"

"What kind of expression do you have!" Jian Xiaoling let go of his waist and said angrily, "You think I can't pass the exam."

——Where is the question of whether you can pass the exam now?He didn't know when his cousin came up with such an idea... No wonder his uncle and aunt wanted to lock him up this time... It's so difficult.

Xiaonian asked cautiously: "Are you serious?" If the other party had a whim, the matter would be turned around in no time, but if he was serious, the Jian family is also famous for their stubborn temper.

Xiaoling nodded in frustration: "Even if you ask me if I'm serious, then parents will have no confidence in me." He originally thought that Xiaonian, who was closest to him, would immediately support him, but he didn't expect Xiaonian to listen. His own thoughts are also full of worries, so it can be seen that he is not optimistic about him.

Xiaonian couldn't see that he was unhappy, so he quickly explained: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's that I never thought that you would like to learn martial arts. How dangerous and difficult this road is, how can we understand? You will be 17 soon , the muscles and bones are not as active as a child, and our family has no martial arts practitioners at all, do you think that you can find a few so-called secret books in the bookstore, and then read the deeds of those famous generals, and you can defeat people who have learned martial arts since childhood."

Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, obviously guessed by his closest cousin, he was a bit at a loss in his initial mental journey, but he quickly organized his words to retort: ​​"Many famous generals are not from the martial arts family, and some even passed the age He was ordered to turn the tide when he was in danger, so how can a hero ask where he came from?!"

Xiaonian saw that he was obviously guilty, but his tone was still domineering. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about how outsiders will talk about grandfather in this way?"

"I know, they will say that my grandfather is biased, and that the medical skills passed down from my ancestors have been taught to my uncle and you. Now they even force me to give up my pen and join the army. If I want to make contributions, I can only go out and make a living."

Discussions like this have never stopped.

Imperial Physician Jian had two sons, the eldest son Jian Xingduan died young, leaving behind an only son Jian Xiaonian, who was still a fool before the age of six.

If it was an ordinary family, it would be considered as humane and righteous to raise this child. How could they raise it personally like Imperial Doctor Jian and take care of him in every possible way.

Outsiders don't know that Imperial Physician Jian's insistence on separating the family is also out of the protection of his youngest son's family. They were unable to inherit their family traditions, so they were allowed to leave the house and live separately.

After Jian Xiaonian was six years old, his soul suddenly came back, and he appeared to be a bit smarter than his father. Everyone said that Jian's imperial physician had a discerning eye, and left behind a gifted grandson who was enough to pass on the family tradition.

Now that Jian Xiaonian has gone to Prince Yu's mansion, he seems to be better than blue. At this time, Jian Xiaoling joins the army, which makes it hard for people not to think about it.

"Xiaoling, tell me why you want to take the martial arts exam all of a sudden? Don't fool me with the grand ambitions of serving the country with loyalty and dedication."

Xiaonian grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and he couldn't believe that his brother was just crazy and suddenly became possessed.

Jian Xiaoling likes the other party's beautiful eyes the most, they are clear and bright, and they are full of concern for him.

He was silent for a while, knowing that he couldn't be fooled easily, so he responded, "Actually, it wasn't all of a sudden..."

Jian Xiaoling recalled that when he was a child, on his grandfather's birthday, the family held a banquet for relatives and friends, and the children played in the yard after paying respects to their elders.

At that time, my elder brother Xiaonian was still a "white porcelain doll". At this time, in order to prevent him from accidents, the family would not let him out of the room.

Children always listen to what adults say, but when Tong Yan Wuji speaks, it makes people worry: "Your brother was eaten by a demon, and now he has become a fool!"

Where did Xiaoling hear such words, after arguing with other children to no avail, they got into a fight, and were finally punished by his father, who beat him with his hands, and it was his grandfather and mother who pleaded to save him.

At that time Xiaoling sneaked into Xiaonian's room, staring blankly on the bed, as beautiful and lovely as a porcelain doll, but he didn't respond to anyone who came, and his brother with empty eyes silently swore that he would kill many people in the future. Demon, avenge his brother!

It's like a seed, planted in the heart, and then germinated and took root, and can no longer be controlled by others... Even if Xiaonian recovered later, he never forgot his childhood obsession.

Jian Xiaoling never said these words to anyone, not even to his cousin who had recovered his sanity.

Hearing this, Xiaonian remembered the young boy standing in front of him and arguing with others, "Hey Xiaonian, he's not a fool" when he just "woke up", and his heart suddenly felt sweet and sour: "That demon is just so casual. Can be beheaded? With your small body, I'm afraid you won't be their match."

While talking, he patted each other with his hands, but found that he didn't know when it started, his brother's body was no longer as soft and easy to pinch as when he was a child.

Grabbing Xiaonian's hand, Jian Xiaoling continued to express her thoughts: "It was for this reason at first, but it was actually mixed with other reasons later on."

He no longer remembered how his uncle was so talented, he only heard his father's respect for his elder brother and others' endless regrets.

No matter how mediocre his father's talent was, at least he had a solid foundation, and he was able to make up for his weakness with diligence, so he became a doctor in the premier medical center in the capital, and he did not lose the reputation of Jian's family.

But he has no talent for medicine, and he has no ambitions. Even though his grandfather has always treated them equally and taught Xiaoling carefully, the results he got are completely different.

When Xiaonian was old enough to be a free clinic doctor in Beijing, Xiaoling still couldn't even recognize the medicinal materials, and couldn't remember the method of preparing the medicinal materials. When he mentioned various pulse conditions, he became dizzy.

Xiaonian stayed in the small medicine garden in Jian's mansion. If it wasn't for the small area and the detailed instructions left by Xiaonian, he might not even be able to take care of it.

"I can't read medical books, and I can't even do my father's hard work. In the end, others will still blame my failure on my grandfather's partiality, so I will only blame myself more... Rather than doing this, it is better to do what I want In the future, when we all achieve something, no matter who mentions grandfather, he will feel admiration and envy!"

Xiaonian looked at the other party's shining eyes, and suddenly sighed: He is carefree, lively and lovely Xiaoling, when did he have such a mature mentality.

Xiaonian originally thought that he was the only one who "grew up" quickly in Prince Yu's Mansion, and he also hoped from the bottom of his heart that Jian Xiaoling could live under the protection of his grandparents and fathers and maintain his innocence, but he didn't expect that he also had his own troubles. Still hidden so deep.

Thinking of this, he also saw Xiaoling's isolated and helpless situation: "If you make up your mind, I have nothing to say, but I can't influence the thoughts of uncle and aunt, so how do you plan to persuade them?"
