Gu Yan opened his hands and thanked Li Zhan, pitiful parents in the world. Although he and his son Gu Tingye always quarreled over trivial matters, they still had to worry about Gu Tingye's future.

"It's so troublesome, Mr. Li!"

Li Zhan smiled slightly, remembering that he owed a favor to Gu Yankai back then, and was a little closer to Gu Yankai. He stopped and looked at Gu Yankai, who had a stunned look on his face, and said in a deep voice.

"Logically speaking, I should call Gu Hou master. If Gu Hou hadn't helped me pass on the family's martial arts to the generals, I would have died of illness a long time ago. I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. But now we are officials in the same dynasty.

It would be inconvenient if I call you that!"

Li Zhan said this with great sincerity. He did not care about the curious eyes of the palace guards around him, and continued to speak calmly in the face of Gu Hou's scrutiny.

"If Gu Hou doesn't mind, you can call me Zi Qing, but you don't have to keep calling me Master Li. It seems that our two families are too different!"

A trace of joy flashed in Gu Yankai's eyes. Today, Li Zhan is a popular person in the eyes of the officials. He is the only one who can be favored by the emperor. Now he is the secretary-supervisor of the fourth rank. He is young and promising, and has a bright future. Therefore, he is

Everyone believed that he would definitely become a prime minister in this life, one person less than ten thousand people, so he was naturally willing to have a relationship with Li Zhan. Now the three sons in his family are not living up to expectations, although now Gu Tingye can be considered a reformer.

However, there is no guarantee that he will become a talented person in the future. With Li Zhan's relationship, he can help to some extent in the future. It will only benefit Ningyuan Hou Mansion, not harm it.

"In this case, I will ask Ziqing to shout. Ziqing should not always look after me. If you don't mind, just call me uncle!"

Although Gu Yankai said this, he was still a little uneasy. This dynasty valued civil service over military affairs. Li Zhan, a civil servant who was already a fourth-rank secretary supervisor at a young age, was only one step away from becoming a third-rank senior official. Compared with him,

This second-grade palace commander is more noble and has a much brighter future. For him to say this is actually a high achievement.

Li Zhan didn't care at all. What Gu Yankai said was exactly what he meant. Since they couldn't be masters and apprentices, it would be better to talk about uncles and nephews directly to appear closer. Moreover, the Gu family was extremely prestigious in the army of this dynasty. He

If you want to live in Langfengxu in the future, you must have help from the Gu family.

Li Zhan nodded happily, bowed solemnly to Gu Yankai, and respectfully shouted to Gu Yankai.

"Zi Qing has met his uncle!"

Gu Yankai didn't expect that Li Zhan was still in the palace without caring about such a favor, so he recognized him as his uncle. His heart moved, and he knew that Li Zhan didn't want to make people gossip, and he was doing it deliberately by not being shy.

Let the officials see it, let everyone know the relationship between them, it is obvious that they are sincerely willing to get along with the Gu family, and it is not just a courtesy.

Gu Kaiyan understood Li Zhan's thoughts and laughed very happily. He stretched out his thick palm and patted Li Zhan's back repeatedly, and then helped Li Zhan up, looking close to him.

Li Zhan also smiled, and the two of them walked out of the palace. No longer as lively as before, Gu Kaiyan also opened his heart and complained to Li Zhan.

"That kid Tingye has been naughty since he was a child, and now he has a bad reputation. Although I don't know why he is suddenly willing to study hard and has passed the exam, he still has no change in his bad nature. He is a complete rebellious son. If he studies in the Sheng Mansion in the future, if he commits a crime,

As a brother, you must not be polite and teach him a lesson, even if I don't think he would dare to stab you!"

Li Zhan actually knew that although Gu Tingye was notorious at this time, most of it was his stepmother Xiao Qin and several uncles' families who slandered him. He was not a bad person, and he was good at martial arts and smart. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pass the exam in three years.

He won the title of a civil servant, and later he shone brightly in the imperial examination. If he hadn't been outspoken, mistrusted his eldest brother, complained about the officials' remarks, and the officials knew about it, and deliberately deposed him, he would have been

He became a Jinshi.

In the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion, apart from Gu Yankai, Li Zhan also had a good impression of Gu Tingye. He was an upright man who valued affection and righteousness. Although he was a bit extreme, it was related to the environment in which he grew up, so it was not a big problem.

Li Zhan looked at Gu Yankai, who had a sad face planning for his descendants, and explained.

"Uncle, don't worry. I met Ting Ye once and I have a good impression of him. He's not as bad as you said. If uncle, don't worry, you can let Ting Ye visit my house more often and deepen the relationship between our brothers."

, get closer and closer!”

Gu Yankai's eyes lit up, who was Li Zhan? He was a famous genius boy in this dynasty. He was the most handsome boy in high school before he even got the first prize. And if it weren't for his young age, he would have been the top pick in the year. Now he is even more of an official.

The ministers around the family are very knowledgeable and have many strategies. Even the officials often ask for his opinions, and they always have amazing things to say. The officials have many praises, which is known to the whole court. If Gu Tingye can compete with Li Zhan

Spending more time with this kind of people must be of great benefit to him, and he was naturally very willing, so he hurriedly said.

"Then it's settled, from now on you will teach this naughty boy more for my uncle!"

The two chatted happily and accompanied each other all the way out of the palace. Some colleagues saw them on the way and were very surprised. I don't know why the two were connected. One was a scholar and the other a warrior. One was born in a poor family and the other was from a noble family. What do you think?

They are not all the same way.

Li Zhan did not go back directly to his home, but directly transferred to Sheng Mansion, and went all the way to Shou'an Hall. After greeting Old Mrs. Sheng, he told Old Mrs. Sheng what happened today.

Mrs. Sheng listened quietly to Li Zhan's narration, nodded silently, and was pleased in her heart. This child was thoughtful and not as utilitarian as her son Sheng Hong, she said happily.

"Zhan'er, you have done a good job in this matter. In order to obtain the ancestral martial arts from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, I asked you to become Gu Hou as your disciple. Now it is not appropriate to have such a relationship, otherwise it will inevitably cause other people to gossip. You

The officials will definitely know what you did in the palace today, and as long as you and the officials make it clear, no one will dare to say anything about it in the future!"

Li Zhan nodded and cast an admiring look at Old Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. Sheng was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Her knowledge and wisdom were far beyond ordinary people. She hit the nail on the head and guessed the reason for what he did. He said to the old lady

A flurry of flattery.

"What grandma said is absolutely true. Your grandson saw through this idea at a glance, which really puts my grandson to shame!"

Old Mrs. Sheng also knew that Li Zhan was filial, so she said this just to make herself happy, but she still smiled and said lightly with joy on her face.
