Shen Qing, the daughter of Shen Changsong, returned triumphantly when she led troops to fight for the first time, and even won the war with fewer victories and more victories.The monarch, Longyan Dayue, granted Shen Qing the title of General Jing Yuan, a second-rank official residence.Shen Qing became the first female general in Shen Kingdom, and her official rank was only one rank lower than that of Shen Changsong, and she was specially allowed to hold a banquet in the general's mansion for three days to celebrate it.On the first day, only relatives of the emperor came in and out of the general's mansion, and the king and queen also stayed in the mansion for half a day.On the second day, all the officials above the fourth rank came to celebrate.In the past three days, those who came were some officials below the fourth rank, as well as some merchants and wealthy families.

In the past three days, the general has seen an endless stream of people coming and going, which is very lively.Tang Xiange, on the other hand, doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads the books of sages and sages.Shen Changsong should be happy when his own daughter was granted a second-rank official residence as a general.But Shen Changsong's brows were a bit sad, and his mood was even more mixed.Shen Qing's temper is a bit too cold, and she is also more stubborn.Being in the second rank at such an age, Shen Changsong was worried that his daughter would cause trouble.

Shen Changsong searched for Shen Qing's figure, but couldn't find it for a long time, he sighed and could only give up: "I don't know where this girl is hiding again."

Tang Xiange woke up this morning feeling a little bored, so he got up and climbed up the big tree in the backyard.Standing tall and seeing far away, I immediately felt better.Tang Xiange sat on the tree trunk, with his feet drooping, and concentrated on reading the book.

"Do you know that it is an ancient tree, it has a lifespan of a hundred years." A voice without a trace of emotion came.Tang Xiange raised his head and looked down, a woman in white was looking at him under the tree. "It's her!" Tang Xiange recognized this woman as the female general he met on the road that day, and she must be the general's daughter——Shen Qing.

"If the lady hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known it was an ancient tree." Tang Xiange grinned, and Shen Qing, who had taken off his armor, looked less aggressive and more cold now.

Seeing a man showing such a smile, Shen Qing felt a little more disgusted with Tang Xiange.In Shen Qing's opinion, a man should have a tall and strong figure, but Tang Xiange's body was as thin and petite as his daughter's.Coupled with that smile just now, Shen Qing felt that this person was too weak. Looking at her, she might not be as good as a woman.

"Since you already know, why don't you come down?" Shen Qing said impatiently.

"Ah, yes." Tang Xiange smiled awkwardly: "I'm going down now." Tang Xiange lifted the hem of his clothes and put the book on his chest.Carefully climbed down.

Shen Qing watched her every move, and frowned: This behavior is a bit too girly.Shen Qing really couldn't stand the man in front of him, turned around and left quickly.

When Tang Xiange came down from the tree, Shen Qing was nowhere to be seen.Tang Xiange didn't know that she was disgusted by others, and she was still a little confused: "Why is Miss Shen so elusive? I'm going to say a few words of congratulations to her."

Tang Xiange's first impression on Shen Qing was not very good, and Shen Qing asked Shen Changsong Tang Xiange's identity more than once.Shen Changsong never answered this question directly, since he couldn't find anything to ask, Shen Qing didn't ask any more.It's just that Shen Qing always avoids the courtyard where Tang Xiange lives.Shen Qing doesn't want to have any contact with Tang Xiange, let alone see him again.

Tang Xiange lived comfortably in the General's Mansion, and the servants in the mansion also treated him with special respect.Tang Xiange took a big bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate, and said to Chun'er vaguely: "Chun'er, do you think Miss Shen has another mansion after being named General Jing Yuan?"

Chun'er poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Master, why do you say that?"

"I've been in the General's Mansion for so long, and I've only seen her once." Tang Xiange took a sip of water: "After that, she seemed to evaporate, and I never met her again in this General's Mansion."

Tang Xiange, who is also a woman, admires Shen Qing very much. It is such an honor for a woman to be named a general.However, Shen Qing's character made Tang Xiange a little afraid. Thinking of Shen Qing's eyes that day, Tang Xiange narrowed his eyes and muttered: "With her temper, will any man dare to marry her?!"

Chun'er was stunned: "Master, do you not like Miss Shen?"

Tang Xiange opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, but took another bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Seeing that Tang Xiange didn't intend to speak, Chun'er walked away tactfully.Tang Xiange looked at the bare old tree, wondering what he was thinking.The sound of footsteps by the wall caught Tang Xiange's attention. Tang Xiange stood up and walked over, but found nothing.Tang Xiange shook his head, afraid that he heard it wrong: "Go back and have a good rest. The exam is tomorrow."

The tense three-day exam passed quickly. Tang Xiange came out of the exam room and yawned again and again. When Chun'er saw her figure, she hurried up to greet her: "Master, how did you do in the exam?"

With two dark circles under her eyes, Tang Xiange said listlessly: "I've tried my best, just let fate."

After returning to the General's Mansion, Tang Xiange slept all day and all night.If it wasn't for being woken up by hunger, Tang Xiange would probably continue to sleep.After Tang Xiange woke up, Chun'er mentioned that Shen Changsong had come to visit her.After Tang Xiange had eaten, he changed into clean clothes and went to see Shen Changsong.

After giving the salute respectfully, Tang Xiange said: "I heard that the general visited me, and after returning from the exam, I fell asleep with my head covered. If I lost my etiquette, please don't blame the general."

"It's okay." Shen Changsong said, "Are you sure about this science test?"

Tang Xiange shook his head: "I can only say that I have tried my best."

Shen Changsong stared at Tang Xiange for a while before saying, "Go back and rest, you will have the answer in half a month. Then you have to think about where to go."

Tang Xiange knew what Shen Changsong's words meant, and nodded: "I have already made a decision in my heart, and General Lao bothered to remind me."

For the remaining half month, Tang Xiange lived very leisurely.On the other hand, Chun'er beside her has become more and more uneasy these two days.Tang Xiange held down Chun'er's hand that kept tugging at the sleeve: "If you keep tugging, this dress will probably rot."

"Oh!" Chun'er said loudly: "Master, why are you not worried at all, what if you don't make the list!"

"Things in the world are unpredictable, and I said to resign to fate." It's not that Tang Xiange is unsure, but she dare not boast.And whether this can be on the list depends on what kind of person the examiner is.Tang Xiange's father was supposed to be No. [-] back then, but he was changed to Tanhua.The world is sinister and people's hearts are unpredictable, Tang Xiange realized very early on.

Looking at Chun'er's anxious eyes, Tang Xiange couldn't help pinching her face, and said amusedly: "Let it be, look at your brows frowning these days, Chun'er, if you become ugly and marry If you don't go out, don't blame me."

"Master!" Chun'er stamped her feet angrily, turned and ran away.

"Congratulations, you won the second place." As soon as Chun'er left, Shen Qing appeared: "Daddy specially asked me to tell you."

Tang Xiange smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen." Seeing that Shen Qing was only wearing a piece of spruce, Tang Xiange took off his cloak and handed it over.Shen Qing hated Tang Xiange so much, how could she take over that windbreaker.Seeing that she didn't intend to take it, Tang Xiange felt a little unhappy, and let the cloak fall to the ground with his backhand.

Shen Qing's face was slightly angry, and he said in a cold voice: "My father has already explained your identity to me."

"Oh? Really?" Tang Xiange's eyes were full of smiles, and his tone was full of indifference: "So what?"

"Master." Chun'er straightened Tang Xiange's clothes, pursed her lips and did not speak.Tang Xiange saw her like this: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

"Master." Chun'er said hesitantly, "I heard from people in the mansion yesterday that this year's No. [-] scholar..."

"Huh? Why?" Tang Xiange joked with a smile: "Could it be that Zhuangyuan Lang is so talented and handsome that Chun'er has also attracted the hearts of young girls?"

Every time Tang Xiange teased Chun'er, Chun'er would stomp her feet angrily, but this time she was still as hesitant as before.Chun'er struggled for a moment, then whispered, "Young master, this year's new champion is Zhang Zimo, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites."

The smile on Tang Xiange's face gradually faded: "Really? Is this what Chun'er wants to talk about?"

"Master, you..." "Chun'er!" Tang Xiange raised his voice: "If you don't tidy up quickly, it will be a waste of time."

Chun'er was afraid that Tang Xiange would be angry, so she could only shut her mouth and dared not say anything.After fastening Tang Xiange's belt, Chun'er's worried eyes softened Tang Xiange's heart, and said softly: "This is not what it used to be, our identities are different now, and we haven't seen each other for many years, he may have forgotten me long ago. Chun'er My son's worries are superfluous, so don't worry."
