Encounter

This is also a test. He had vaguely heard of Mu Zhixu's reputation. This time he came from Gyeonggi Province. Mu Zhixu is now Princess Yaoguang.

She is definitely the same as the emperor. The Wei family had no intention of surrendering to King Xuan, so of course they had to show their loyalty through Mu Zhixu.

He glanced at Gu Lin and the others, and thought their identities were not simple.

Xiahou Qing smiled, "The Wei family is very smart."

Not everyone can resist the temptation of the Dragon, even...

"We have the opportunity to rely on Da Yan to be here. It is the emperor's blessing. We can clearly understand the right and wrong." Wei Zinian looked at Xiahou Qing, who was full of nobleness and did not miss any opportunity to show off his favorable feelings.

Mu Zhixu laughed, "I'll introduce you to me, this is my fiancé Gu Lin, these two are my friends Su Qingyi and Xiahou Qing."

Xiahou?

Wei Zinian's eyes moved slightly, and he guessed that this noble girl should be Princess Jing'an.

The King of Zhenbei has a surname of Xiahou, which is well-known.

Several people greeted each other and talked about some irrelevant things, so they went to rest.

It was late at night, and Gu Lin took a whistle and blew it to his mouth, without making any sound, but not long after, a hawk fell silently on the windowsill.

He also rubbed Gu Lin's arm intimately with his head.

His eyes flashed with smiles, patted the head of the Hawk, and tied a bamboo tube to the Hawk's ankle, "Go, come back and eat meat for you."

The hawk rubbed his arm again and then jumped up.

Gu Lin told the emperor about King Xuan’s targeting the Wei family. Shortly after the New Year, he received the news that the emperor was ready to take action against King Xuan.

I think King Xuan is about to be anxious to jump over the wall, so he can do anything to deal with the Wei family.

Tsk, the Wei family is a businessman. If it is a tough guy, the Wei family will probably not be able to resist it. The temptation that Wei Zinnian just now also means seeking protection.

Gu Lin made him happy, but the emperor would not let the Wei family go. How to choose depends on Wei Zinian and Wei family, and he would not interfere.

In the study room of Weijia Villa, Wei Zinian sat silently, and the dim candlelight cast a shadow on his side, making it difficult to see clearly.

I just felt that his face was a little dark.

The confidant pushed open the door and came in, "The young master guessed well, and the Marquis of Dingyuan has sent a letter."

Wei Zinian's fist loosened a little, "Well, I understand."

"Young Master..." The confidant wanted to speak but stopped.

"Speak straight away if you have something to do."

"If you ask Emperor Tai'an for help, Wei Jie's money will not be saved." The confidant was unwilling to give up.

Wei Zinian glanced at him and casually said, "Can you keep it without asking for help?"

My confidant stopped talking.

"It is a sin to have money, and it is even more sin to have wealth that can rival a country. Businesses are the lessons of the past." Wei Zinian narrowed his eyes, "If you want to protect the Wei family, you must make some choices. The Wei family still has a long-term future and cannot be ruined because of...."

In fact, he and his father were also betting that Emperor Tai'an was indeed a veritable wise king.

As long as the Wei family contributes part of their property, they can get protection and keep a low profile to continue to develop, waiting for one day to grow into a towering tree.

There was nothing to say all night. The next day when Mu Zhixu and others were planning to leave, Wei Zinian gave him a generous gift.

Even Xiahou Qing and others who have seen good things think this gift is really generous.

The most rare thing is the treasured ancient books. The confidence of the family inheritance is ancient books. Wei Zinian was willing to give them ancient books, which was indeed rare.

Mu Zhixu held the ancient books and was happier than gold and silver.

Books are the foundation of a family.

Wei Zinian was really generous. Tingzhu and others worked hard yesterday, and each of them received a gift of thanks plus a hundred taels of silver.

"Tsk, the businessman is indeed the richest." After leaving the city, Su Qingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't forget that you are a businessman, and you are rich." Mu Zhixu laughed.

"I haven't forgotten, haha, I'm really rich." Su Qingyi narrowed her eyes.

“…”

Mu Zhixu said he didn't want to talk to Su Qingyi.

The road behind was very stable and basically nothing major happened. When they arrived at Rongchuan Prefecture, the provincial examination was about to begin in just five days.

Sure enough, Gu Lin had to participate in the provincial examination in Rongchuan Prefecture.

"It's too late to go back." Mu Zhixu frowned.

Still delayed.

"It's okay, I'll stay. You guys go back first. I'll go to Rong County to find you after the exam." Gu Lin looked at Mu Zhixu with gentle eyebrows.

There are still a lot of things to do when Ah Xu goes back, and it takes time to arrange it. July is an imperial examination, and he is destined to be unhappy when he returns to Beijing. Three months is the estimated journey, so he cannot delay it.

"You are alone..."

"It's okay, the provincial examination is like taking things out of my pocket to me anyway." Gu Lin's eyes flashed with pride, but his tone was calm.

Xiahou Qing and Su Qingyi were all a little hard to describe when they heard this.

Out of the cultivation of a lady, Xiahou Qing resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

She got used to it along the way. Gu Lin and she thought they knew each other very differently. As early as the road, she knew that Gu Lin in her heart was actually her own imagination.

The reality is completely opposite. Gu Lin is cruel, ruthless, and only treats Zhixue exceptions and does not slander others.

Only when he treats people related to the knowledge will he be relieved.

Otherwise, the cold breath would be enough to make many people afraid.

In the end, Mu Zhixu agreed to Gu Lin's proposal. This was the safest way, otherwise they would miss the time for the examination if they were delayed along the way.

There is a yard in the palace, so Gu Lin directly asked someone to clean it and live there.

He also bought two servants to clean and check the yard, and might come back in the future.

"Then we won't delay, we will set off in the afternoon." Mu Zhixu's decisive and decisive person did not take the mud and water since he made a decision.

"Well, I'll take you out of the city."

Others: "..." It turns out they are not human.

"Our future brother-in-law is simply." Su Qingyi couldn't help but complain to Xiahou Qing.

Xiahou Qing deeply agreed, "But it's good, he can take away the bad peach blossoms by himself, so he knows he doesn't have to suffer."

"Um."

Gu Lin, who happened to hear their conversation, raised his eyebrows.

Future brother-in-law?

This title is quite pleasant.

"Jinzhi?! Zhixu? When did you come back? Oh, I thought you wouldn't participate in this year's provincial examination." The group walked to the street and met Zhao Jinghuai, Tao Zixian and Lu Qingchuan.

They were very excited.

Mu Zhixu, "Why are you in the capital? If you remember correctly, you passed the provincial examination last time."

"By the way, we just came from the capital." At the end, he answered the question that several people had just said.

Zhao Jinghuai had already gotten by Gu Lin's side, "Let's join in the fun, it's boring anyway."

"...The emperor has already been open to the rank of the emperor, so you should go to seclusion and study." Gu Lin felt it was a little hard to describe.
