In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the house. Qin Nan stretched and got up from the bed.
"Oh, Nan'er, you're awake!"
At this time, Qin Nan's ears rang Qin Zhentian's voice, and Qin Nan realized that his father had gotten up early and was cooking. Even his younger brother Qin Yun had also gotten up at this moment.
"Brother, you are going to participate in the Ximen family's guard selection later. Once you are selected, you will have to live in the Ximen Mansion. It will be difficult for me to see you again, brother!"
Qin Yun looked at Qin Nan with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Qin Nan touched Qin Yun's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will come back to see you when I have time, not to mention I don't even know if I will be selected."
"Okay, Nan'er, it's time to eat!"
At this time, Qin Zhentian's voice came.
After Qin Nan had eaten, Qin Nan put his big hands on Qin Nan's shoulders and said with a serious face: "Nan'er, it's not as good as at home outside. Ximen Mansion is a big family. You have to be careful about everything. I heard that Ximen
The palace’s selection of guards is very strict, so don’t feel bad even if you are not selected!”
Qin Nan glanced at Qin Zhentian reluctantly, nodded, then looked at Qin Yun, and said: "Brother, after I leave, you have to take good care of your father. Don't let him go out until his foot is healed."
Work, you know?”
"Don't worry, I will do it!"
Qin Yun nodded vigorously.
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan walked towards the east of the city. The east of the city was where rich people lived, and Ximen Mansion was in the east of the city.
At this moment, Qin Nan suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and a pair of soft, boneless jade hands had covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am?"
A low voice sounded in Qin Nan's ears. Although the other party deliberately pretended to be low, he still could not conceal the sweetness of the voice.
"Yuling, stop making trouble!"
Qin Nan smiled.
"Really, brother Qin Nan, why do you know it's me every time?"
The hands in front of Qin Nan slowly moved away, and a girl appeared in front of Qin Nan. This girl's skin was like snow, and her face was like a red apple that made people want to take a bite. She was dressed in snow-white
The long skirt fully supported her moving body.
The girl is Zhou Fu's granddaughter, Zhou Yuling. The two have grown up together. She has been pestering Qin Nan since she was a child, and Qin Nan has always treated her as a younger sister.
Qin Nan smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers and scratched Zhou Yuling's nose, and said, "You have done this trick so many times, it's hard for me not to know it's you!"
When Zhou Yuling heard this, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Qin Nan.
Qin Nan looked at the sky and felt that it was getting late, so he immediately said to Zhou Yuling: "Yuling, you go back first. Brother Qin Nan has something to do today and can't play with you anymore."
"I know, brother Qin Nan is going to participate in the bodyguard selection of Ximen Mansion, right?"
Zhou Yuling smiled playfully.
Qin Nan was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Uncle Fu told you again?"
"Hehe, I want to accompany you too!"
Zhou Yuling chuckled.
"I'm going to participate in the selection, Yu Linghao, you go back first, and I'll play with you when brother Qin Nan is free!"
Qin Nan said and continued walking in the direction of Ximen Mansion.
Zhou Yuling ran two steps and caught up with Qin Nan, but there was a hint of anger on her pretty face: "Brother Qin Nan, I am no longer the little girl who only hides in your arms and cries. She has grown up.
, why do you still treat me as a little girl!"
Qin Nan was slightly startled, then smiled and scratched Zhou Yuling's nose, and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Yu Ling is an adult now, but no matter what Yu Ling becomes, in the eyes of brother Qin Nan, you
You'll always be the same snotty-nosed crybaby."
When Zhou Yuling heard this, she pouted at Qin Nan and said to herself: "Brother Qin Nan is really a piece of wood. He actually treats me like the follower who only hung around him when he was a child."
Qin Nan looked at Zhou Yuling's face and had no choice but to smile helplessly and said: "Okay, I'll just let you go with me."
Zhou Yuling couldn't help but reveal a happy look on her pretty face after hearing this. She grabbed Qin Nan's arm and said with a sweet smile, "I knew that brother Qin Nan was the best to me!"
At this time, two strong young men were walking towards Ximen Mansion from another street, and happened to bump into Qin Nan and Zhou Yuling.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuling couldn't help but frowned and said softly: "That annoying guy has appeared again. Is he also going to participate in the selection of the bodyguards of Ximen Mansion?"
Qin Nan raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and couldn't help but frown. They were both sons of the head of the Song family. The older one was named Song Changqing, and the other slightly younger one was his younger brother, Song Zhong.
.
The two of them walked up to Qin Nan, with a hint of contempt in their eyes, and sneered: "Hey, who are you, it turns out it's you, you useless brat!"
A trace of disdain flashed in Song Zhong's eyes, and he sneered: "Qin Nan, do you want to participate in the bodyguard selection of Ximen Mansion? Looking at how weak you are, I can crush you to death with one finger, Ximen
It is absolutely impossible for the government to choose a useless boy like you as a bodyguard."
Qin Nan seemed to have not heard anything, and continued to walk forward with no expression.
Qin Nan knew that Song Zhong liked Zhou Yuling, but Zhou Yuling hated him very much. However, Song Zhong refused to give up and kept beating Zhou Yuling. Song Zhong must have seen Zhou Yuling with him, so he felt angry and insulted himself.
.But for this kind of person, Qin Nan doesn’t need to pay attention to him.
Zhou Yuling snorted and continued walking forward with Qin Nan.
"Yu Ling, why do you hang out with this kid? Look at his useless look. His father is just a stonemason in our family! Yu Ling, the only person who treats you best in this world is me. Look, I
I specially bought a necklace for you, let me put it on for you!"
Song Zhong took out a silver-white necklace and wanted to help Zhou Yuling put it on.
"Go away, I don't want it!"
Zhou Yuling, however, snorted and hid behind Qin Nan.
"What? How dare you refuse me?"
When Song Zhong heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Song Zhong, Yu Ling doesn't want to, why do you have to force her!"
Qin Nan glanced at Song Zhong indifferently and said coldly.
"Humph, Qin Nan, are you qualified to take care of me? I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from Zhou Yuling, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Song Zhong snorted coldly, and then walked towards Ximen Mansion with Song Changqing.
"Brother Qin Nan, are you okay..."
Zhou Yuling raised his head and looked at Qin Nan, and saw a hint of anger on Qin Nan's face, but it was fleeting.
Qin Nan sneered and said, "I won't be reduced to arguing with a mad dog."
Zhou Yuling breathed a sigh of relief, blinked her watery eyes, and asked: "Brother Qin Nan, isn't the Song family also very rich? Why do they still go to Ximen Mansion to be a bodyguard?"
Qin Nan said lightly: "The Ximen family is the largest family in Yunmeng County, and it is said that the Ximen family also has huge power in the entire Chu State. Being a guard in the Ximen family has a higher status than that of a wealthy small family.
!More importantly, it is said that the Ximen family has attracted many powerful warriors. If you can get some advice from them, you will be able to benefit from it throughout your life."
As Qin Nan said that, he had arrived near Ximen Mansion. At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered in front of Ximen Mansion, most of them were teenagers aged fourteen or fifteen, and they were obviously here to participate in the selection of guards for Ximen Mansion.
"Okay, it's almost time. All candidates for the selection will line up and let the master touch your bones!"
At this time, a middle-aged man with fat head and big ears came out of Ximen Mansion and announced.
This person is none other than the steward of Ximen Mansion, Luo Biao.
"Okay, Yu Ling, you go back, I'm going to line up!"
Qin Nan said, then walked to the front of Ximen Mansion and joined the queue.
“You don’t know what you can do!”
At this time, Qin Nan suddenly heard a cold snort and saw Song Zhong standing not far in front of him, looking at him with a look of disdain.
"No, next one!"
At this time, the old man responsible for touching the bones said indifferently.
A young man left with a frustrated face.
Soon, most of the teenagers were selected, but 10 out of 10 teenagers failed.
"Next!"
At this time, it was Song Zhong's turn. Song Zhong seemed to be very confident. After all, his body looked very strong.
After the old man who felt the bones touched Song Zhong's back, he shook his head and said lightly: "No, next one!"
"What?"
Song Zhong couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Master, you, have you seen it wrong? I am so strong, how could I..."
Song Zhong was startled and said.
"You mean my old eyesight is dim?"
There was a stern look in the old man's eyes.
Song Zhong couldn't help but tremble when he saw this, and there was a sense of fear in his heart. He quickly shook his head and said: "You don't dare!"
Song Zhong said, and then retreated with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. When he passed by Qin Nan, his eyes showed a look of contempt, and he thought to himself: "I can't even pass the test, let alone this kid!"
"Brother, is that old man blind? I didn't pass!"
Song Zhong walked to his eldest brother Song Changqing's house
