Qian Shuang said without conscience: "It's expensive, even Mr. Su can't afford it!"

Ming Wuci felt that his life was complete, so he reservedly raised the small curtain and waved to the crowd in a serious manner, with every finger saying: I am very expensive.

Qian Shuang: "..."

Your Highness, why did you keep such a living treasure?

Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, who set off first, was already near the workshop.

Xie Jingyun was reviewing his lessons in the room. When he looked up, a small red figure jumped in from the window:

"Brother Jingyun——"

Xie Jingyun was frightened from his chair and fell to the ground: "Xiao Xiaoxiao..."

"It's not small, it's not small."

Tangtang ran over, helped him up, and put him back in the chair: "Tangtang is going on a tour to the south and is setting off. I came here to see you."

Xie Jingyun's face turned red, he stroked his pen, and it took him a long time to say: "Thank you, little master sister."

"You're welcome, Tangtang is mainly here to cheer you on. You must be the top pick."

Xie Jingyun clenched his fist confidently: "Don't worry, little master, sister."

Tangtang took out a small stuffed animal from her sleeve and placed it on Xie Jingyun's book: "This is for you."

Xie Jingyun picked it up and looked at it.

The doll is about the size of his hand, with a round head, braided hair, and eyes sewn with buttons, one larger and one smaller.

The mouth has grown to the outside of the face, there is no nose, and one ear is higher than the other.

The body is flat and long, with four soft paws. Also wearing a fringed skirt or clothes?

What is this, a mascot to ward off evil spirits?

He racked his brains and used all his life's knowledge to understand what the little master's sister meant when she gave him this object before the exam started.

Xie Jingyun scratched his head in embarrassment: "Thank you, little master, sister, this little beast looks quite... unique."

Tangtang's eyes widened: "This is Tangtang!"

Xie Jingyun: "?"

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Xie Jingyun was so panicked that his lips trembled: "It's true that Jingyun is blind, Jingyun doesn't know that this is little master's sister, Jingyun this, me, that..."

Tangtang pursed her lips: "Okay, okay, Tangtang knows that this is ugly. If you can't see it, you can't tell. Brother Jingyun just knows that this is Tangtang."

"Is this made by my little master's sister?" Xie Jingyun was surprised and delighted, "Sure enough, it's extraordinary."

Tangtang didn't want to be fooled by him: "No one else can make such an ugly Tangtang. You're right, he's just a little beast. However, I can bless brother Jingyun to be named on the gold list and turn all dangers into good fortune."

Xie Jingyun was so happy that he put the doll into his arms as if it were a treasure.

Suddenly, I felt that it was a bit rude in front of the girl, so I quickly took it out and put it away. It might as well not be, and my nervous face turned even redder.

Tangtang smiled: "Just put it away. Tangtang has to leave, otherwise it would be bad if everyone finds out that Tangtang is gone."

After saying that, she jumped out of the window again and waved to Xie Jingyun: "On the day when the results are released, Tangtang will release little butterflies for brother Jingyun."

"Sister, little master——"

Xie Jingyun immediately chased her out and grabbed her sleeve eagerly: "If it is not necessary on the road, try to stay away from Young Master Xiao."

"What's wrong?" Tangtang looked at him strangely, "Is there something wrong with Brother Yan Gui?"

Xie Jingyun said cruelly: "Jingyun has a friend who is from Sichuan Province. He often goes to the Confucian Scholars Hall, where he met Young Master Xiao."

Tangtang's expression became serious: "Did you say anything at that time?"

"He told Jingyun's friends that there would be a substitute exam this spring. No one believed him at that time. It was he who told the story about Zhuang Sheng and the Third Highness."

"Are these all true?"

Xie Jingyun nodded: "This is what Jingyun told His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday in the palace. The reason why he didn't tell my little master and sister was because he was afraid that you would be sad."

Tangtang nodded: "I know, Tangtang will pay attention."

"Sister, little master——"

Xie Jingyun hesitated again and again, but still gave her a tip bag that he had prepared in his arms:

"If you encounter trouble at the Chuanzhou Prefecture Confucian Scholars Association, just open this bag of tips and it will help you."

Tangtang took it and climbed onto the phoenix: "Remember, Tangtang is gone."

The phoenix spread its wings and disappeared in an instant

Xie Jingyun stood in the yard and turned back to the house after a long time.

There was already someone in the room guarding the stove making tea. Seeing him come in, he smiled slightly and said, "That's it. Thank you."

"Master Nie is really everywhere."

Xie Jingyun saluted Nie Fu'an and returned to the desk to continue reading, as if he was not affected at all.

Nie Fu'an smiled: "I'm really curious. After three years of mourning, young master Xie suddenly became bolder and knew how to cultivate his own power?"

Xie Jingyun said coldly: "Master Nie has also experienced the matter of letting people eat meat, right? Does it feel good?"

"You mean, you want to resist Emperor Zun and avenge Madam Xie?"

Xie Jingyun smiled: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Since you have this plan, you and Mr. Nie are like-minded friends."

Nie Fu'an poured the brewed tea into the cup and gave it to Nie Fu'an: "It's better to help each other than to fight alone. What do you think, Mr. Xie Hui?"

Xie Jingyun pushed the tea cup back: "No need. Jingyun also advised Master Nie not to waste time on me. Jingyun only believes in himself."

"After all, you and Young Master Xiao are truly like-minded. He saved your whole family, and you made a life-and-death contract with him. You came to win over me because you were worried that I would ruin his good deeds."

Nie Fu'an finished the cup of tea by himself: "Xie Huishou is really simple and stubborn. Do you think that just by relying on Confucian scholars, you can avenge yourself and repay Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"

Xie Jingyun counterattacked her calmly: "Nowadays, Master Nie still pretends not to see the power of Confucian scholars. That is because he is really simple and stubborn."

Nie Fu'an: "..."

Okay, boy, compared to four years ago, I am really more confident.

The young master is a pretty good opponent.

Nie Fu'an is here to test him today. After the test is over, it's time to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jingyun stopped him in the end: "If Young Master Xiao is wronged, Jingyun will not be able to become allies with you two."

He smiled warmly, but the look in his eyes was decisive and solemn: "Safeguarding the world and guarding the world are equally important."

"oh?"

Nie Fu'an suddenly smiled: "Xie Huishou is gone more than Nie imagined..."

He walked all the way holding an empty tea cup. He almost reached his own yard before he remembered to throw it away: "Here comes someone."

A shadow guard knelt down quietly: "Master Nie."

"Tell the young master that there will be a great show in Chuanzhou Mansion soon. By the way, tell His Highness..."

The shadow guard raised his head in embarrassment: "The young master issued an order today. If your information or people dare to approach His Highness again, you will be cut into pieces."

Nie Fu'an: "?"
