Midnight.

The moon is white and the wind is clear, and the bamboo is green and pine.

Between the branches and leaves, the bright light leaks, and the wind blows, mottled like painted sand.

Lu Qingshan had a treasure bun, a caryophyllum robe, a slender waist, thin eyebrows, retracted his gaze, and asked, "Are you saying that Chen Yan defeated Sun Renjun first, and then convinced Zhu Yu in calligraphy?"

"Yes, ma'am,"

Ren Rongyan thought of the shock that she had just received the news, and nodded vigorously, "The entire Qingyun Yuan people were shocked, I didn't expect Chen Yan to hide it so deeply. ”

"That's right,"

Lu Qingqing folded off a piece of peach branch, sniffed the fine flowers blooming on it, looked not too happy, and said, "It's a pity." ”

"Madame, are you not satisfied?"

Seeing this, Ren Rongyan was deeply puzzled, and said, "Chen Yan has become famous, and he really hopes to win the first place in the hospital examination, if he succeeds, it should be a good help for his wife, right?"

"Even the head of the hospital examination can't help much. ”

Lu Qingqing casually threw the broken peach branch into the water, looked at the ripples layer after layer, and said, "Originally, I wanted to take a look at the person behind Chen Yan, but I didn't expect this Chen Yan to be really powerful, Sun Renjun and Zhu Yu combined made him settle." ”

"The person behind Chen Yan?"

Ren Rongyan sat up straight, her bun was half off, and her posture was charming, but she wondered in her heart, Chen Yan was obviously from an ordinary background, and he was supported by his wife, what big man behind him deserves so much attention?

"Xiaoyan, you find someone to stir up this topic. ”

Lu Qingqing bit her red lips lightly, her beautiful eyes were clear, and she said, "As long as Chen Yan has been on the cusp, he will definitely show his feet." ”

"Good. ”

Ren Rongyan said yes and got up to leave.

"What a nuisance,"

Lu Qingqing frowned, the Chen family has always been so troublesome.

At this time, suddenly, the water of the Half Moon Lake in front of me was shining, the tide was agitated, and the white gas rose, rushing upward, turning into a green and purple lotus, with a fragrant fragrance.

On top of the lotus, a young man sits upright, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, black clothes covering his body, and a little red phosphorus on his forehead, adding a sense of demonic evil.

"Zhang Zongcang,"

Seeing the visitor, Lu Qingqing's face changed color, and she couldn't help but stand up, and said, "How did you get to Jintai Mansion and dare to sneak into Qingyun Garden?

"Hmph,"

Zhang Zongcang snorted coldly, and the tide echoed, and said, "Lu Qingqing, the clan is very dissatisfied with your slow progress, and I am here to set things right this time on the orders of the second elder." ”

"I don't need you to point fingers,"

Lu Qingqing snorted and said, "Zhang Zongcang, don't mess around, this is the land of the city, and the power of the imperial court is far beyond your imagination." ”

"It's your cowardice that keeps the cause of the clan from progressing,"

Zhang Zongcang pointed with his hand, and the lotus throne slowly sank, leaving only the last voice to say, "You can do it yourself." ”

"Damn,"

Seeing that after three or five splashes, the lake returned to calm, Zhang Zongcang disappeared, Lu Qingqing stomped his feet angrily, his charming big eyes were full of murderous aura, and muttered, "Zhang Zongcang's mind is full of glory in the clan, fighting and killing, if he is really nonsense, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of people with intentions, what should I do?"

Phaedan Water Pavilion.

The curtain is half rolled, the new water shines green, three or five frogs chirp, and the parrot has a good sound.

Sun Renjun sat in the pavilion, his face was pale, the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a Chen Yan, he actually made me a laughing stock in Shilin, and I don't share the sky with him." ”

"Young Master,"

Steward Xie is an old man in the Tuiguan Mansion, and at this time, that is, he dared to speak when Sun Renjun was angry, and said, "Things are fermenting so quickly, there must be someone behind them who is fueling the flames and hyping up." ”

"Who is it?"

Sun Renjun's eyes were bloodshot, murderous, and said, "Isn't it Zhu Yu's sanctimonious guy? I already knew that he was a hypocrite!"

"The other party's methods are very secretive, and they haven't found out yet. ”

Steward Xie looked calm and said unhurriedly, "I'm worried that someone is going to provoke us to fight with the people of Zhu Tong's Judgment Mansion, so we can't be cautious." ”

"Whew,"

Sun Renjun is the leader of the younger generation, hearing this, he quickly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and said calmly, "You are right, although Zhu Yu is the most suspicious, we can't act recklessly, now is my father's critical period, and we can't make trouble for his old man." ”

After a pause, Sun Renjun's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "However, Chen Yan can't be spared, and it is wishful thinking to step on me to take the position." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Steward Xie Zhizhu was in his hand, and he had already made arrangements, and said, "Chen Yan is unforgivable crime, I have already asked Bai Ying to prepare to go, and now everyone in Qingyun Yuan is staring at it is not good to make a move, but as long as you leave Qingyun Garden, there will be no taboos." ”

"White Shadow shot, of course I'm relieved. ”

Sun Renjun finally showed a smile on his face and said, "As long as Chen Yan can't pass the hospital examination, he will be the only one who has stayed in Duyuan Paradise for hundreds of years and has not been selected to show his talents, which will be the biggest joke in our entire Jintai Mansion." ”

"If he offends us and pushes the government, he is killing himself. ”

Steward Xie smiled deeply, no matter who Chen Yan was behind him, the means of pushing the official mansion were always unguardable, as long as he hit him, he would never recover.

Paradise of Solitude.

There is a lotus lamp lit on the table, and inside is the best lamp oil, the lamp is crackling, and the fragrance fills the room.

Chen Yan held the book and watched it attentively.

"O words of the sages,"

Since Chen Yan rushed to the pass, his soul was born in the sea of knowledge, and he became agile, and his memory and comprehension ability increased greatly.

He had already discovered that when he understood the meaning of the scriptures and pondered the words of the sages, his soul also emitted a ray of light, and it was clear from top to bottom, which was not as dark and peaceful as visualizing it, but it was also slowly increasing in strength.

And there is indeed an inexplicable aura in the Dule Courtyard, which is untraceable, but it can make people read and meditate, think actively, and be in a very good state.

"In fact, reading is also contemplating, using the principles of the sages to strengthen the thoughts, self-cultivation and family leveling the world, once the grand wish is fulfilled, it is immeasurable. ”

Chen Yan's eyes were sparkling, as if he had gained.

"If it weren't for the imperial court's suppression of Taoism and the popularization of Taoism, would there be many scholars who went out of their bodies to achieve Yin God?"

Chen Yan's mind turned, and he muttered to himself, "But maybe using the words of the sages to firm up your thoughts will also subtly form a belief in the sages, and naturally reject the Taoism, after all, the sages don't practice Taoism, they only talk about reasoning." ”

"It's just that what is the relationship between the imperial court and Shilin? Scholars really don't practice Taoism and don't admire immortality?"

I don't know how long it took for Chen Yan to wake up from this kind of thinking, he closed the book, looked at the stars on the sky outside, swaying and glorious, refreshed for a while, and said, "I'll take the test in the hospital immediately, and then get the students first, this kind of mystery, as my status increases, I will always know." ”
