Dao Fruit

This is a woman in pink clothes, with a blouse and a skirt. She is well-dressed, but her delicate body sways as she walks, and her steps are light, giving people a graceful and graceful look. She has a fair and delicate face. , with a smile on his face, red phoenix eyes, and lively eyes.

Just one glance, and even Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel amazed, but after all, he condensed his soul and his thoughts were the same, and his mind recovered after just one thought.

"Very good, the quality is good." The woman's eyes moved, her gaze fell on Qiu Yan's face, showing appreciation, she opened her red lips lightly, and her voice was as clear as an oriole.

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, glanced at the woman, and then looked at the person next to the woman.

There were two people following this woman. One was a girl in green clothes. Her eyebrows were lowered, making it difficult to see her face. All she could notice was her fair neck. She looked like a maid. The other one was with Qiu Yan. Chen Qichang, who once had a relationship with the steward of the Chen family, called him a Song slave.

As soon as he saw this Song slave, Qiu Yan already understood and had a rough idea of ​​the woman's identity. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he saluted Dong Qiu and called Xiaomin.

"Good nephew, you don't need to be polite." Unexpectedly, Dong Qiu, the honorable person of the county, seemed very polite. After saying a few words, he hurriedly introduced him, "I'm here this time because I'm entrusted by someone." , this is the daughter of Wu Xinjun and Song Jiedushi, the eldest lady of the Song family."

Qiu Yan's heart was shaken, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes when he looked at the woman.

"The apple of Song Jiedushi's eye? Song Yuan's daughter?"

He turned his eyes and scanned Song Nu's face.

"Manager Song came over a few days ago and said that his princess wanted to see me. Judging from the previous situation, this so-called princess is undoubtedly the daughter of King Tongshan. But now looking at this posture, the girl in front of me, It must be that princess! This is strange. According to my guess, this king is definitely not Song Yuan himself, but someone close to him. How come this demon king princess became Song Yuan's daughter? The King of Tongshan is also a woman and is Song Yuan’s wife?”

These thoughts flashed through Qiu Yan's mind.

Opposite me, Miss Song suddenly took a step forward, looked Qiu Yan up and down carefully, and then nodded.

"Not bad. He looks pretty decent and has a decent temperament. He seems to have read a lot of books. He has the temperament of a scholar."

As she spoke, she naturally exuded a condescending and bossy air, but it didn't seem artificial. It was obviously a habit formed over time.

But it still made Qiu Yan frown.

However, Miss Song obviously didn't take Qiu Yan's thoughts to heart. She raised her slender hand and stretched out two fingers.

"I heard that you have to observe filial piety and cannot take the imperial examination, so I will give you two years. After two years, if you are admitted as a scholar, I will not pursue the matter of Wolf Sheep. I can also consider recruiting you as my husband, but if you fail the examination , or in the past two years, I have found someone I like, then I can only blame you for my bad luck. "

In her words, the woman seemed not to take Qiu Yan seriously. It seemed that her so-called husband was just a pet of hers.

After saying this, Miss Song smiled softly, her laughter was like a bell, and turned back to the sedan. Manager Song and the maid followed suit and led a group of people away quickly.

It was gone in the blink of an eye, it came suddenly and went away quickly.

"My dear nephew, this is your opportunity. You must seize it! The father of Miss Song is a military commander with real power. He holds a high position and guards a place. If you can get married to him, it will be of great benefit to your future. , You have worked hard in the past two years, and finally you have thought about it. In addition, Mr. Ma Xiangguo is also very optimistic about you, and you cannot live up to his ardent expectations. "

Upon seeing this, the county master Dong Qiu said a few words to Qiu Yan and left in a hurry, obviously chasing Miss Song and her party.

The yard returned to calm again, but the scene where the county magistrate came in person and affectionately called Qiu Yan his nephew was clearly seen by the surrounding neighbors. For a time, these neighbors who originally looked down on the Qiu family father and son , I felt my heartbeat quicken, and I turned around cautiously, for fear of making any noise and letting Qiu Yan discover it.

Of course, Qiu Yan had no intention of paying attention to his neighbors. He was still chewing on Miss Song's words.

"Two years? Husband-in-law?"

Finally, he shook his head.

"Two years are indeed precious. After all, with my current level of cultivation, it will take a lot of effort to fight against the monsters under King Tongshan. Even Doctor Huang, who tried so hard to stumble, has to prepare a tribute for King Tongshan. , If we confront the Demon King right away, there shouldn’t be much chance of winning, but I’m not interested in being the Demon King’s son-in-law. There is a hatred between this body and the Demon King, and the day we meet is the time to fight for our lives.”

Qiu Yan's thoughts were quickly interrupted by a greeting——

"Brother Xian, who were those people just now? One of them looks like a lady from an official family?"

The speaker was Zheng Zhengsen, who was dressed for a long trip, wearing a scarf, carrying a book basket, and a smile on his face.

"It's nothing, those people went to the wrong place and recognized the wrong person." Qiu Yan said it, and then asked about the reason for Zheng Zhongsen's dress.

"Hey, isn't there going to be Enke in the autumn? I'm going to go to the Taoist Academy to seek advice and be prepared. This time I come here to say goodbye to my dear brother." When he spoke, his voice was low.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan felt enlightened and knew that things were not that simple. His best friend had benefited from the test before and knew the taste after eating the marrow. Now he wanted to repeat the old trick and do some preparations in anticipation of the provincial high school examination.

Looking at Zheng Zhongsen's white-washed Confucian shirt, Qiu Yan secretly sighed, then raised his fists: "In that case, I wish Brother Zheng a good journey."

"Brother Chengxian, Ji Yan." Zheng Zhongsen returned the greeting with a smile, said a few more words, then turned and left, with a smile on his face and longing for the future in his eyes.

But after he left, there was no news, and he didn't even come back to participate in Qiu Wei in August of that year. Afterwards, although Qiu Yan was determined to search, his ability was limited. Even if he used the spirit himself, it was difficult to find traces.

Passed away like a man, two years passed in a flash.

For Qiu Yan, both his original form and his avatar had lived a peaceful life in the past two years.

However, having had the experience of being trapped in a mountain temple for nearly eighty years, he knew that two years may be considered a long time to a mortal, but to an extraordinary being with a long life span, it is only a blink of an eye.

As winter passes and spring comes, thousands of flowers bloom.

The Qiu family's yard has not changed much.

"Two years. In the past two years, neither Shanngling Dao nor Tongshan King has caused any trouble again. However, this is only temporary. Not to mention other things, if there is an accident in the Taoist examination more than a month later, I fail to pass the exam. Scholar, King Tongshan will react immediately and send people to kill me."

Thinking in his mind, Qiu Yan put down his pen, glanced at the words on the table, frowned, and shook his head.

"No, it's still just a little bit short. Shen Yun can't be perfect."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw the words aside.

On the other side, there was a slight noise on the table, but a white and fat figure was tumbling on the corner of the table.

This fat white figure is exactly the ginseng that fell when Qiu Yan was refining the medicine cabinet magic weapon two years ago. Since that night, it has been lying in the study. As long as Qiu Yan reads, the ginseng will react. Over time, Qiu Yan just let it go.

Without looking at the ginseng, Qiu Yan left the study and walked towards the door as soon as he entered the courtyard. He happened to meet Rong Niang who came in.

In two years' time, Rong Niang had become a graceful and beautiful woman. Many women at her age had already married and had children, but there was no movement in the Liu family. Qiu Yan could also imagine the reason for this.

"Cousin, are you going to the old prime minister's country again?"

Seeing Qiu Yan, Rong Niang said hello. After receiving a positive answer, she nodded: "Then I will help you clean up the study."
