After Su Donghai's birthday banquet, Zhu Dingbei and the others made an appointment to get together at Changxinhou's Mansion. Since they left after graduating from Guozixue, although they still met frequently, it was not as good as being together day and night when they were young.

Uncle Ning's culinary skills have become more and more proficient in recent years, and several people are full of praise, but Zhu Dingbei felt a little strange after the first mouthful. After a few more mouthfuls, he finally tasted the subtle difference. Looking at Ning Heng, it happened to bump into his line of sight.Zhu Dingbei pursed his lips and smiled, put a chopstick into his bowl, and while listening to Lou Anning and the others talking and laughing happily, he stared at Ning Heng, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Lou Anning was so curious that he pushed Qin Xi out. This silly boy was honest and didn't notice any tact, and asked directly: "What's so good about Ah Heng's face? Changsheng's eyes are straight."

Ning Heng was a little uncomfortable, but he looked straight at Zhu Dingbei looking forward to his answer, Zhu Xiaohou laughed loudly: "Is he a flower girl? Can't you?"

There was a lot of laughter. I never expected that Lord Marquis Xin, a dignified man, would one day be reduced to the point of making people eat.

Although they knew that Zhu Dingbei wasn't telling the truth, they didn't ask any more questions after laughing.

"Make up for the eleventh." Qin Xi actively put vegetables and soup into Jia Jiaming's bowl, and complained to Zhu Dingbei and the others that the other party was reading day and night, and sooner or later his body would wear down.Lou Ankang asked about his preparation for the exam with concern. Jia Jiaming was in a calm state of mind and studied hard. Seeing their question, he talked about some miscellaneous books he was reading recently, and mentioned that there were some books in the Chen's collection about the creation of natural objects. Seeing that the Lou family brothers were really interested in them, they generously offered to lend them the dissertation and agronomy books—after all, these are the relics of the former teacher, and it is not easy to give them away even to the two Lou family brothers.

Lou Ankang said: "I heard that Ma Taifu paid a special visit to Mrs. Dong Lin two days ago, and wanted to recommend Ma Chao to his sect. On Eleventh, I figured that we would have to take some detours, why don't we entrust someone to have a romantic relationship?" Now, how about letting these national scholars give some pointers on the imperial examination?"

Lou Anning listened and agreed.

Jia Jiaming's knowledge is well-deserved to be number one among the few, but he is going to take the national examination at a young age. If he does well in the examination, everyone will be happy. It doesn't matter even if he fails the examination. Fame has no chance to come back.After ten years of hardship, they all noticed Jia Jiaming's hard work, and they couldn't help but make more plans for him when things came to an end.

Mr. Dong Lin mentioned in Lou Erkou was born in the upright Dong family. He once presided over several national examinations, and now holds titles in the Imperial Academy and Guozixue.

Ordinary literati would undoubtedly humiliate themselves if they wanted to show affection in front of him, but Ma Taifu had been his classmate for many years and received Ma Taifu's kindness in the early years, so he made an exception and accepted Ma Chao. With such great support, Jia Jiaming's chances of winning against Ma Chao are less.

Zhu Dingbei also felt reasonable, so he asked Jia Jiaming what he thought.

"The teacher left me a lot of experience before he left, which is enough for now." He rejected the suggestion.Although he is a stubborn person, he is not so pedantic that he is unwilling to ask others for advice because of the relationship between his predecessors and delay his own future.As he said, before his death, Chen Ge compiled a lot of experience and secrets for this old student in the imperial examination. These good words are more important than the teachings of outsiders.

When they saw that he was successful, they stopped talking, and Lou Anning, who couldn't sit still after dinner, suggested going to the racecourse for a race.

The racecourse in Changxin Houfu was expanded last year, and the original mountains were also enclosed in the Houfu racecourse. It is very pleasant to run a horse.

In recent years, Zhu Dingbei has been very careful not to show his skills in front of outsiders, and he has never had such a thing as horse racing outside the racecourse of Changxinhou Mansion.

Although he was not deliberately created, it was rumored outside that he was weak and sick with chronic diseases.Earlier when his grandmother heard this, she had to get angry and argue with others. Later, even she, a woman, found out that her weakness made life easier and happier for the little grandson of Zhenbei Hou, so she didn't bother to argue with these people. It's just that every year when I go to the monastery, I will donate more merits and virtues, so as to offset the bad luck caused by those swear words to my grandson.

Leaping onto the horse, Zhu Dingbei clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to speed up. He hadn't been on the horse for more than half a year. At this time, he felt comfortable physically and mentally, and even breathed a little bit easier.

Ning Heng also knew that he was holding back hard, so he didn't restrain him. Watching him run faster and farther, he greeted Qin Xi and the others, and the five horses gave chase majestically.

After running around the mountain twice, Zhu Dingbei reined in and waited for them to catch up.

The horseshoe had just landed when Qin Xi laughed loudly, "Can you do it on Eleventh, haha, why don't I run with you in my arms."

It turned out that Jia Shishi hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and today he studied too much, his bones were stiff, and he had to adjust several times on the horse's back before he could control the horse's speed.He was sweating profusely, and he didn't mind seeing Qin Xi making fun of him. Instead, he said to Ning Heng, "It seems that I come here often, and it's not good if I don't run away for a long time."

Ning Heng: "It's up to you, just talk to the steward."

He was indifferent, but these friends grew up with different feelings, so he agreed to such a trivial matter without thinking about it.

Zhu Dingbei heard the deep meaning in his words, and couldn't help but shook his head, Qin Xi, a silly boy, what virtue and what ability.However, if one day he wants to go to the battlefield with Qin Xi, apart from the military strategy he has studied hard now, he will also not be able to let go of his immediate kung fu and skill, so he smiled and said: "Remember to call me when the [-]th is coming. Here I, a "sick boy", can have a good time."

"Changsheng really should come and walk more, always being bored at home is not good for your health."

Lou Ankang said.

Lou Anning added: "Thinking back then, Young Master Zhu swore to be a playboy, but now let alone molesting good family members or spending a lot of money, he spends all day embroidering in the mansion, tsk tsk tsk."

Zhu Dingbei squinted his eyes facing the sun, and said with a half-smile, "Lou Sicheng would like to know what kind of flower I embroidered, huh?"

Lou Anning drove the horse forward, and said with a grin, "Just kidding, the older you get, the more stingy you become. But, when will we take a walk with Hualiu Lane, there will be another batch of sour scholars rushing for the exam, and there will be a lot of people by the Luoshui River. It’s so lively. Hey, speaking of it, I remembered one thing. I heard that a poor scholar wrote a love poem for a female champion yesterday, but accidentally cast it on the fifth son-in-law of a friend. Lingqi, and invited him to drink and have fun together, now that man has changed into a brocade dress and satin, with a wealth of money, he has already lived in the Guangning uncle's mansion."

"Don't you always complain that you are so busy in the Ministry of Industry, why are you still interested in listening to other people's gossip and learning from us?"

Zhu Dingbei glanced at him.

Lou Anning opened his mouth, for some reason, looking at the fair and handsome face of Master Zhu who was covered with a layer of yellow in the light and shadow, he was suddenly a little embarrassed to make jokes about what happened later, as if these vulgar things This gentleman will be offended.

Thinking like this, Lou Anning couldn't help crying in her heart: Changsheng's appearance is really becoming more and more monstrous, it's too deceptive!

While he was in such a trance, Qin Xi couldn't wait to take his words and said: "There will be more fun in the future."

"I don't know from whom the little county king heard that the son-in-law had raised a male concubine in the uncle's mansion. He went to the Guangning uncle's mansion and asked the soldiers to grab the scholar out and beat him up. If it wasn't for Guangning uncle The master stopped it in time, and the scholar would probably be beaten to death. The fifth princess and the son-in-law quarreled endlessly over this matter. I heard that the quarrel ended, and the son-in-law said that since he slandered him for hiding a male concubine, he would marry a concubine. The male concubine came back to fulfill the wish of Her Majesty the Princess. Turning around, I really redeemed their first card in the Nanfeng Hall and brought them back to the Princess' mansion."

Zhu Dingbei also only heard his grandmother sigh a few words. The life of the young couple has become more and more uneasy, and they don't know that there are such twists and turns in this story.

Seeing Qin Xi taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, Jia Jiaming couldn't bear it and said: "It's a pity for the scholar's talent, so he was implicated and humiliated. I'm afraid the imperial examination will not work all the way."

He is also a scholar, so he naturally knows that young literati who have reached the stage of the national examination have put in unmatched efforts by ordinary people in addition to their proud talents, and it is a pity to be burned now.As for the scholar's opportunism, clinging to the son-in-law's high branch, which makes some scribes despise, Jia Jiaming doesn't feel bad. After all, who wants to take a detour if there are shortcuts, since the scholar didn't harm others to achieve his goal, these means are nothing. Lowly.

Lou Ankang frowned: "The fifth princess' in-laws are too lively, and I don't know what will happen to the two of them in the future. However, I am a little concerned about one thing. The sixth princess has reached her age, but her princess mansion has never been built. What do you say?" Does Your Majesty want her to get married?"

When Qin Xi heard this, the smile on his face faded a little.

Although the relationship is not close, but in the end they are her blood relatives, if she really goes to kiss her aunt, she will be sad.

He asked anxiously: "Master Lou, do you have any definite news? Where does Your Majesty want her to marry? The few people next to us are all at war with us, who do we need to marry? Besides, the princess is fine." Married far away and married, Luojing City should also have her own mansion."

Lou Ankang rubbed his nose, he just said something more when he suddenly remembered this matter, he forgot that the sixth princess is Qin Xi's cousin, so he had to make up for his slip of the tongue: "I just asked casually."

"I believe Lou Er speaks casually, but you never casually talk about other people's affairs."

Qin Xi persevered.

Jia Jiaming stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty may have forgotten it for a while. The situation in the court has not been peaceful in the past few years. Besides... Your Majesty has not stayed in the harem for some time. I am afraid that Concubine Chen wants to beg for the princess's favor." It's not good to pass the word forward."

In the last sentence, his voice was extremely low.
