It was only when the clapping sound of the second match rang out that Zhi`er arrived at Mu Xi Yuan.

Shen Jun smiled and pointed to the chair beside the charcoal brazier, indicating for her to sit down.

Zhi-er thanked him and took a seat.

"Your senior brother is still looking." Shen Jun laughed and got straight to the point.

Zhi`er raised her head, and her hopeful eyes darkened. Shen Jun laughed and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. Last time, my men followed him to Hat Lane, where he disappeared. I believe we should be able to find him in two days. "

The man was very alert, most likely sensing that someone was following him before he shook off his men.

However, this was also the opposite of being smart.

If he wasn't familiar with this place, then he definitely wouldn't have been so easily informed. In front of Lian Qing and the others, Lian Qing's specialty was tracking him down, and he had trained to eat since a young age. If he could get rid of it, it meant that this was his territory.

As long as they kept watch, they would be able to find him.

Seeing how confident he was, Zhi-er pursed her lips and said, "Zhi-er thanks Third Master. In the future, I will definitely repay Third Master."

"That's not necessary." The teenager lightly tapped the table with his slender fingers. With a calm expression, he said, "You are originally a good family, but you still chose to be my slave. You are truly wronged. "I only hope that you can guard the girl properly. I will definitely take revenge for you."

Hearing this, Zhi-er's eyes reddened as she knelt on the ground and swore, "Zhi-er will definitely protect big miss and will never marry!"

It was a great favor.

Shen Jun smiled as he listened to her oath. He could only sigh in his heart and nod for her to stand up before returning to her room.

"How are your teeth?"

Zhi'er had already stepped over the threshold. Shen Jun smiled as he thought of the dinner. He hurriedly called out to her.

"Don't worry, Lord Third. We've already seen tooth blossoms. Three days at the very least, seven days at the most. Our young lady's new tooth will be ready."

That's good. Shen Jun smiled as he calmed down, thinking about the little girl again. He tilted his head and laughed out loud. Was he going to buy some small gift to coax the little girl? He looked quite angry as he left.

Xiu Ying had lost her teeth and hadn't spoken for the past two days. Madam Feng also didn't know whether to laugh or cry after learning about this. She only felt that this little girl's self-esteem was a little too overbearing. Children of this age, which one wasn't able to change their teeth? In the family school, her cousin Qi was already twelve years old and still trying to change her teeth.

However, Madam Feng knew that her little girl loved face, so she could only greet her husband and tell him not to call her to answer the questions.

This saved Xiu Ying some embarrassment. Since Shen Guan and the others weren't at home and didn't talk to her, she shut her mouth and acted like a mute. However, what really troubled her was not the matter of her attending school, but the matter of the Shen Mansion beginning to treat her to a banquet.

She had no choice but to face the madams and ladies of the Feng family during this banquet. Every time she saw someone, she would lower her head and hide her words.

Her teeth were only half full!

Seeing her like this, Madam Feng could only explain a little bit later to those madams. The ladies all understood and laughed, but they did not think that Xiu Ying's actions were inappropriate.

On the first day of the banquet, Crown Prince Yongping and his wife arrived.

Master Shen was smiling as he greeted Shen Jun, but in his heart, he was even more confident. Shen Jun Xiao had a very deep relationship with the Yongping Mansion.

Thinking about this, he felt extremely uncomfortable. However, thinking about the letter he had sent to the Feng Family's capital city, he felt a lot more at ease. However, he was also looking forward to the news even more.

Shen Jun laughed and became the youngest Top Scorer of the Northern Li Dynasty. More people came to visit than he had expected. Some of them were wealthy families who had sent stewards to deliver gifts after hearing the news. Old Madam Shen was laughing so hard that her eyes became slits when she heard that.

By the time her son took the Scholar examination, the number of people who proposed for the marriage would be endless as well, and they would be able to step on the threshold of the Shen family.

Old Madam Shen was happy and spirited. Even after accompanying the guests for an entire day, she did not feel tired at all.

This made Master Shen even more interested in his younger brother, and he became even more displeased with him.

In the evening, when the guests had left, everyone was finally able to relax. However, the supervisor quickly ran over to smile at Shen Jun.

"San, San Ye!" An important guest has arrived! "

Shen Junxiao was about to return to his courtyard when he heard the words' esteemed guest '. He found it strange.

He asked, "Which guest is he? Where is he now?"

"The visitor reported himself as the Marquis of Wuan's Mansion. He is a young man, about the same age as you, Lord San." This humble one dares not disrespect you, please go to the front hall. "

Shen Jun was surprised.

The Marquis of Wuan's Mansion was... He immediately stood up, lifted his robe, and rushed to the front hall.

Old Lady Shen also stood up and asked the steward, "What kind of family is the Marquis' Mansion?"

Why didn't she seem to have heard of it?

The steward then said, "The Marquis of Wuan is surnamed Zhou, and his title was bestowed upon him by the Ancestor Emperor. He was the founder of the country, and the Marquis of Wuan is now in possession of the military power. However, one stamp of the foot would cause the officials in the imperial court to be shaken up three times! "

Old Lady Shen's jaw dropped.

Her god, he was so powerful!

How did her youngest son get to know such a powerful family?

Master Shen did not leave, and his face darkened upon hearing his words. He naturally knew about the Marquis of Wuan's Mansion, but this person was actually related to Third Bro. What didn't he know about this little brother of his?!

Old Master Shen was astonished, but at the same time, bitterness welled up within his heart.

Yongping Mansion, Wuan Mansion!

[Is Shen Jun really going to soar into the sky?!]

On the other side, Shen Junxiao had people rushing to the front hall with lanterns in hand. From afar, he could see Zhou Jiayu's upright posture.

He crossed the threshold and cupped his hands with a smile. "Heir Zhou, why have you come!"

"Brother Chen!" Zhou Jiayu seemed very happy to see Shen Jun's smile. The youth's face was full of smiles, making people feel close to him.

The two of them greeted each other before sitting down.

Zhou Jiayu said, "Brother Shen, you really aren't nice. I already said you were going to treat me to a drink, but you set up a feast and didn't treat me!"

The last bit was rather heavy, with a hint of anger in it.

Shen Jun smiled as he recalled the drunken speech he heard Zhou Jiayu utter back at Old Dou's place. He didn't expect that he would still remember it.

He then said, "The Crown Prince is in the capital, and he has an errand to take in the Imperial Court. I can't ask you out of the blue."

"You just don't care, and you're not saying it. You call me brother." Zhou Jiayu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Yet you call me prince."

Zhou Jiayu was a straightforward person to begin with. Now that he complained, he felt somewhat wronged, causing Shen Jun to laugh and not say any more excuses. He stood up and called out to him, "Brother Zhou."

Zhou Jiayu beamed with joy.

The young man laughed. His peach blossom eyes were extremely bright, and there were even shallow holes on his face. It was extremely harmless and easy to get along with.

However, Shen Junxiao knew that this youth, who was as gentle as the warm winter sun, was a hot-blooded man with schemes and courage.

"Brother Zhou, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let me treat you to a drink."

"That's exactly what I want!" Zhou Jiayu laughed out loud. He felt that Shen Junxiao was not the same as the young master from Beijing that he knew.

The other young masters were not so straightforward. After all, treating someone to a meal was accompanied by a great deal of pleasantries and courteous words. He loved to be straightforward like this!

Shen Junxiao sent for people to instruct the kitchen to prepare a table of noodles and arrange it for Mu Xi Yuan. He stood up and asked Zhou Jiayu, "Brother Zhou, please come to my courtyard. Drinking here is not as enjoyable as drinking at my place."

"As you wish, Brother Shen. You can do whatever you wish!"

Zhou Jiayu also made a gesture of invitation. He was extremely satisfied with Shen Junxiao.

To be able to invite him to his residence meant that she truly considered him to be a good friend. Zhou Jiayu felt that he had made the right choice this time. Someone who could gain Elder Dou's appreciation was indeed different from others.

The two of them walked side by side. Shen Junxiao was the host, so he introduced Yongping Mansion to Zhou Jiayu. Zhou Jiayu had been here once before, but he had never heard of any of them.

"..." So this is how the news spread that the Yongping Estate had good wine. "

Shen Jun laughed and told Zhou Jiayu a story about the wine. The youth was surprised. He was about to ask about the details when he saw Shen Jun laugh and pause, looking towards a certain direction.

Zhou Jiayu followed his gaze. He saw two young girls with lanterns not far away. The one who walked in front of them was an even younger girl.

This is...

Zhou Jiayu narrowed her eyes. Shen Junxiao was thinking, "Why would I come here?"

— That was a coincidence.
