Xu Ran seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Could you be that... the Lord of Huajian Lake?"

A few years later, when Gu Xuejiang heard the nickname given to him again, she didn't think it was elegant, but felt extremely embarrassed.

"What kind of lake owner, they are all barking."

Xu Ran's face changed completely, and she stopped in her tracks: "Xue Jiang among the flowers!"

Gu Er showed a crying expression: "Sister, please don't call me that."

Cheng Qianren couldn't help laughing. Being picked up in the black history of the second period of middle school, this kind of shame is comparable to running naked in the daytime.

Lord of Huajian Lake?What the hell, is Mary Su a male partner? Hahahahahahahaha.

Xu Ran couldn't laugh, for her, this was also her black history.

In the past, my uncle was working in the imperial capital, and every year when he came back, he would tell her anecdotes about the imperial capital.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings, three-foot-square avenue paved with black gold and stone bricks, tolerant and unrestrained folk customs; the four noble surnames with power in the court and the public, competing with each other and relying on each other. Bailu Hengjiang.

They are the Chaoge family, the Huajian family, the Zhong family, and the Bai family. The emperor is getting old, and they control military power and internal affairs.

The appalling secrets leaked from the high gate of the deep house, and the absurd disasters caused by the glamorous princes and grandchildren.

There is also the youngest right deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Imperial Guard in the history of the dynasty, Huajianxuejiang.

Entered the Tao at the age of eight, and was unrivaled among his peers at the age of 15, an official position hand-picked by the imperial court.

Her uncle was drunk, but the story was even better: "The imperial capital is very wide, and eight carriages are more than enough to run in parallel. However, there are many nobles in the imperial capital. If you take a parallel carriage, he will take a four-wheeled carriage. The young and vigorous princes and grandchildren all want to go in the middle, and no one will let anyone else, even the widest driveway can be blocked."

"Only the right deputy commander does not ride in a sedan chair. He rides a red horse, which looks like a red glow in the sky from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, the smoke and dust from iron hooves are in front of you. Those dignitaries scramble to avoid the two sides. Thirty feet wide, for him to ride away on Juechen."

There is a piece of Huaijin Lake in the imperial capital.The lakeside is full of red and emerald green, dancing pavilions and singing platforms, painted boats moored on the lake, carved beams and painted columns, and lanterns like stars.The river water was also stained with fragrance of fat and powder.

The second young master of the Huajian family is a celebrity here. Over time, friends gave him the nickname, Master of Huajian Lake.

He came here to spend the night, but he lived alone.He is good at writing lyrics and composing music, and teaches girls to play and sing.The girls all respect and love him. If he is interested, he will write poems and portraits for them. If he is bullied, he will stand up for them.

When he was in office, the atmosphere in the imperial capital was upright, especially the bullying of men and women was almost invisible.

Xu Ran was young at that time, after listening to his uncle's speech, he felt that this man was very majestic, even the nephews of King Anshan's relatives dared to beat him, his behavior seemed absurd, but he had his own rules, which was admirable.

Now she looked at Gu Xuejiang who had to light the pipe in a contorted position because she was holding an umbrella in her hand, but because the shredded tobacco and wick were damp, she couldn't light it for a long time.The thought of having admired this person once made me feel infinitely ashamed.

Fortunately, Cheng Qianren came from the remote eastern region, so he didn't have the chance to listen to those romantic anecdotes. He is the one who is most at ease at the moment.

He asked, "Then why did you change your surname?"

Gu Er said angrily: "I have been expelled from the family, and my family name was removed from the family tree. From now on, my maiden name will be used. Besides, don't you think the name Huajian Xuejiang sounds strange, especially... sour? ?”

Xu Ran: "It's as if 'Gu Xuejiang' is not sour."

Cheng Qianren really wants to say, Dad will teach you another word, gay means gay.

He held back.

Xu Ran: "You offended so many people before, you must have had a hard time afterwards, right?"

Gu Er finally lit the cigarette, and after taking a puff, he looked careless: "It's okay, you see, I'm still alive and well."

"You saw Zhong Tianyu yesterday, didn't you want to avoid the limelight?"

"Whether I avoid it or not, his resentment towards me will not be alleviated in the slightest, it will only intensify because of my retreat. In this case, why should I avoid it?"

"...It seems to make sense."

"I don't like you. Actually, I can't avoid it. There are too many people rushing to send him news. People in Chunbotai love to go to the theater."

"..."

Cheng Qianren thought, the challenge will be closed tomorrow, don't these two plan to talk about something serious?So confident?

He had no choice but to interrupt them: "Xu Da, how sure are you of defeating him?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Ran was really confident: "Two hundred percent! I just threw the knife with all my strength, and the remaining power of the knife shook him three steps away. The real energy is too weak, it's like a state where he was piled up with elixir It seems that not all the people in the four noble surnames are promising!"

Gu Er explained: "If he is promising, he won't use it here anymore. The college construction fee is not in vain, I'm afraid it's for the promotion of the only college in the college. Using Nanyuan College as a springboard, he wants to enter the Rites and Political Department. "

Xu Ran didn't understand: "Yuan Tui? Isn't he a martial artist who entered Qingshan Yuan?"

The college has a quota every year, and it is recommended to serve in one of the three divisions, which is at least ten years faster than the ordinary promotion path.

Martial cultivators generally don't need to be recommended by the academy, and the strong men from the military department or the big sect can see your details at a glance.

"There is no clear stipulation in the court rules that your court can't take the nomination quota. Of course, he entered Qingshan Court because your court has few rules."

Cheng Qianren didn't pay much attention to this matter, he didn't have the ambition to become a high official, and his grades were only above average.Only those who rank among the top three in their academy are eligible to fight for the academy's recommendation.

The first time I heard about it, it was because Lin Duzhi entered the reconsideration list last year.Perhaps the gentlemen wanted him to practice for one more year, and the quota was finally given to a senior in Chunbotai.Rumors spread wildly in Nanshan's backyard, and it will definitely be him this year.

Now it seems that this Nanshan leader may lose to other people's hospital construction fees?

The academy is a rare place in this world to be reasonable and well-mannered, but any fairness is relative, how will the academy choose this time?

Cheng Qianren thought to himself, and brought the topic back: "Although Xu Da is very sure, he still has to be careful. Does Gu Er know the number of the other party's exercises?"

There was a silence, only the sound of drizzle hitting the umbrella.

After a while, Gu Xuejiang said: "We may have forgotten one thing."

"The sword servant can fight on behalf of the master. If it's that servant, how sure are you?"

Another moment of silence.

Xu Ran asked with great uncertainty: "... [-]%?"

Cheng Qianren was stunned by the accident: "Are you serious? [-]%? Can't it be more?!"

The servant looked very young, with a dull expression, we must have seen the same person!

Xu Ran: "Twenty percent can't be more."

"He stood there today and didn't move, which put a lot of pressure on me. The warrior's intuition, if he moves, I will be in danger... Otherwise, why would we have to talk to Zhong Zhong all night? He has drawn his sword! I must have punched him long ago!"

Cheng Qianren: "..."

Gu Xuejiang: "Don't panic, I'll make the arrangements, now I'm ready with both hands."

"Xu Da, I'll tell you the Zhong family's exercises and the Linshuang Sword tonight. Cheng San, you can prepare some cotton cloth, it's better."

Cheng Qianren was infected by this kind of calmness, thinking that he is indeed a lake owner who has seen the world.Can carry things.

But he was still puzzled: "Why prepare cotton cloth?"

"Let Zhuliu make me a pair of knee pads so that I can kneel more comfortably. Doesn't he often mend your clothes? Needlework should be good..."
