Yang Nian shook his wallet to see if there was enough in it to buy another half catty of sugar buns. Before he could count them, Li Sheng had already brought the freshly baked sugar buns in front of him.

"You are so caring, how do you want Master to reward you?" Yang Nian smirked.

Li Sheng turned his head to ignore him, "Why do you think of worshiping Buddha today?"

"My sister would ask me to worship Buddha every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, to help her pray for a child, help myself pray for high school, and help my father pray for safety."

"is that useful?"

"It's useful to watch Concubine Zhen's big belly and worry about it? Just think about it." Yang Nian tore off a corner of the steamed bun, gave it to Li Sheng first, and counted the rest as his own. You should always ask for this and that, if worshiping Buddha is useful, it can change your fate."

Li Sheng chewed on the steamed buns and thought that this was indeed reasonable, "But it's always good to have hope."

Yang Nian thought he was childish, but his mouth was filled with sugar buns.

"You two young masters, please stop." A Taoist priest stopped in front of the two of them. He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his hair was combed tall.

Yang Nian rolled his eyes, on the way to the Buddhist hall, he always ran into these ghosts and ghosts, and he came out to bluff at such a young age.

"I think the two are destined to have a golden light, and they will definitely be named princes and prime ministers in the future!"

It's the same as saying nothing.

"Our life is so precious, there is no need to talk about it, I will reward you with two steamed buns." Yang Nian thought for a while, and only threw out one steamed bun.

The Taoist caught it with both hands, and then said, "Don't take me for those who say good things, some people have such a precious life, but they have no blessings, and the two of you must be under one person and above ten thousand people. "

"Under one person?" Li Sheng asked.

The Taoist priest was taken aback by his sharp eyes, but quickly calmed down and said, "Under one person."

"Then do you think I can get the first prize in this imperial examination?" Yang Nian interjected.

"This," the Taoist priest closed his eyes and counted, "I can't get it."

"Bad luck!" Yang Nian wanted to throw all the buns on the Taoist priest's face, but he didn't want to, so he dragged Li Sheng away.

"Eh? Don't leave. Although you can't get the champion, all the champions in the world follow you, and there are..."

Yang Nian and Li Sheng had already walked a long way out, the Taoist sighed, "I feel that boy in black is having some tricks, hey, I've leaked my secrets twice? It's unreasonable, they didn't hear clearly..."

……

Li Sheng clasped his hands together, bowed to the host, took out money from his pocket, put it in the merit box, turned around and looked behind him, Yang Nian was still kneeling in front of the Buddha, his eyes were closed, his lips moved slightly, meditating on something , I stood aside and waited, but I was still thinking about the Taoist prophecy.

"Why are you in a daze?" Yang Nian had already walked to Li Sheng's side.

"I see that you have seen God so seriously in making a wish."

"I was thinking of the number one scholar, but after thinking about what the Taoist priest said, it would be good to change it to the top three." Yang Nian sighed, "Sure enough, I still care."

"It's really bad luck." Li Sheng sighed, "Let's go down the mountain and eat something good."

"Let me see your injury." Yang Feng'er patted the bed, motioning Yang Nian to lie down on it.

Reluctantly, Yang Nian lifted the hem of his clothes, "It's mostly healed, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Are you complaining about your sister?"

"How could I blame you? It's my own fault that has caused you trouble." Yang Nian sat up, "I heard that the Empress Dowager gave you a lot of trouble?"

"It's all trivial matters. She asks questions every day in Concubine Zhen's palace, so she has no time to worry about me." Yang Feng'er beckoned to explain, and asked him to fetch some pastries.

"If it wasn't for the time I asked daddy to visit, I might not be able to see you." Yang Nian pursed his lips and pretended to be wronged, "I miss my sister."

"I heard that you and Sheng'er went to worship the Buddha together?" Yang Feng'er poured herself a cup of tea, "It's good that you and Sheng'er are not strangers."

"Daddy is not an ignorant person. Those who are wary of Li Sheng are those who have ghosts in their hearts."

"Don't talk nonsense about this anymore, now my sister has ears through the walls."

"..." Yang Nian was silent for a while, "Then I can't tell you about a strange Taoist who told me and Li Sheng fortune-telling."

"Fortune-telling?" Yang Feng'er came to her senses, "Will you be able to go to high school?"

"People say that I don't have the chance to win the first prize."

"Nonsense!" Yang Feng'er put down the teacup, "Where did you find the wild Taoist priests!"

"But people said that I was ordered by the Marquis to worship the Prime Minister, so I don't care too much." Yang Nian tilted his neck back, just in time to see Xie Yi walking in with a plate, "Is it a new style? Xie Yi, this The flower cake is so beautiful!"

"Yes, master, I have prepared some waiting for you to take away."

"Ah, what an ingenuity," Yang Nian sighed, "It would be great if Yao'er was half as caring as you are, why don't you let my sister give you to me when you are old enough to leave the palace."

Xie Yi blushed and backed out.

"You've become a man of peach blossoms, right? You even want to seduce my valet." Yang Feng'er said disgustedly.

"Aren't I already at the age of thinking about spring?" Yang Nian took a flower cake and swallowed it whole, and said vaguely, "Other people have been anxious for a blind date."

"I want you to find someone you really like, so don't embarrass yourself, and don't delay other girls. If you really want it, I'll let you choose from all the girls in the capital."

"Don't, don't, if dad finds out, he should scold me for not doing my job properly."

"I still know."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Shao happened to step into the door.

"It's nothing, nothing." Yang Feng'er quickly stood up and bowed to Yang Shao, "Making some random jokes with Nian'er."

"Father, my elder sister asked me to marry all the girls in the capital, but I refused!" Yang Nian spoke righteously, completely ignoring Yang Feng'er's stare at him.

"Hey, you're still young, why worry, talking about marriage, there really is such a thing, the prince of the county." Yang Shao paused, and he looked at Yang Feng'er, "The queen mother just explained to me."

"She also discussed this matter with the little girl, is it settled?"

"The youngest daughter of your third uncle's family, Xiaoyu."

"Yang Xiaoyu?" Yang Nian was shocked, "She's only thirteen, two years younger than me!"

"It is said that it will be settled first, and then we will get married when we reach the full age."

"You just decided on other people's marriage so casually?" Yang Nian was inexplicably annoyed, "I can still choose by myself, Li Sheng is still a prince!"

"Nian'er, I know you are thinking of Sheng'er," Yang Feng'er comforted, "but the people in the royal family are different from us."

"Then has anyone asked Xiao Yu, didn't they say that the Yang family can't have a relationship with Li Sheng, and she just married?"

"It is precisely because of this," Yang Shao looked at Yang Nian, and said seriously, "This is also for the sake of the county king. The county king is both civil and military, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future. Then interfere in the official career of the county king. This is a win-win situation."

Yang Nian thought to himself, you are all married to your own sweetheart, what qualifications do you have to judge whether other people's marriages suffer or not.

"Nian'er, you will be the head of the Yang family from now on, you have to consider the overall situation and stop playing childish temper."

"I see, it's just that Li Sheng is my friend, and I don't want him to be at the mercy of others all his life." Yang Nian lowered his head, feeling weak all over.

Yang Feng'er thought for a while, and said, "You can tell Sheng'er a little bit first, so that he can prepare."

He just needs to accept it and prepare for something.
