Chapter 584: Wu Tanhua

When Shen Shouyan saw that it was Guo Dong, he replied, "I came out to do something."

"That's perfect!" Guo Dong patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm treating you today, you have to come no matter what!!"

Shen Shouyan asked, "What's the good news?"

Guo Dong laughed and said, "My youngest son secretly took the military examination and actually came back with a top scorer. He just came back the other day. I think this is a happy event, so I'm going to have a banquet to celebrate today."

Shen Shouyan kept congratulating him.

Then he hesitated.

He and Guo Dong are friends for life and death. When he got into trouble, Guo Dong went to help. Now that his son is having such a big wedding, he happens to be here, and it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to go.

Shen Shouyan glanced over there, Yuan Shenjue nodded at him, and then gestured to Emperor Mingpei.

Shen Shouyan smiled and said, "I will definitely go to such a big happy event. You go back first. I'll wait for a friend and will be there soon."

"Together!" Guo Dong said with a smile: "Shou Yan's friends are my friends, let's shout together, it will be lively!"

"Okay," Shen Shouyan said, "Then I won't be polite, let's go together later."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting!"

Guo Dong said a few more words and then left happily.

As soon as he left, everyone looked at Shen Shouyan, and some were eager to come over and talk to him. Shen Shouyan then got up and left. After a while, Emperor Mingpei and his entourage also came out.

Emperor Mingpei was really interested in this matter.

He said, "I...I really forgot that I had passed the military examination. The military scholars have all returned home in glory. I remember the military champion was named Guo Jingrui. Is he his son?"

Shen Shouyan whispered, "It's his youngest son. He's quite good at Kung Fu and seems to have just turned twenty this year."

Emperor Mingpei nodded and said, "I have never seen such a celebration among Jianghu people. Would it be convenient for me to go and see it for myself?"

Of course Shen Shouyan didn't dare to say it was inconvenient, so he just said, "Then you went there hiding your identity?"

Emperor Mingpei hummed, and Shen Shouyan asked, "What alias should we use?"

Emperor Mingpei thought for a moment and said, "Xinbao, what name should I give Yeye?"

Xinbao said without hesitation: "Long Aotian!"

Emperor Mingpei said disdainfully: "Too straightforward."

Xinbao racked his brains and thought for a while: "Emperor, Huang Shiquan."

Emperor Mingpei still shook his head: "Still straightforward, choose a very inconspicuous one."

It's easy to say that it's inconspicuous, so Xinbao said: "Zhang San!!"

Emperor Mingpei glared at her: "Too perfunctory!"

Xinbao scratched his head and looked at him sincerely with his big eyes: "Yeye, why don't you get up by yourself? Otherwise, by the time Xinbao gets up to Yeye's satisfaction, the sun will have set and we won't be able to get a free meal."

Emperor Mingpei laughed, thought for a moment, and said, "My biological mother's surname is Yu, so I will be called Yu Ze."

He pointed at Hao Huashi and said, "I will go with you as your friend, and stay away from them. Chang'er will follow Shouyan, and Xuan'er, you and Huashuang will take Xinbao. The others don't need to go."

So they put the imperial physician aside, bought some gifts, and changed their clothes. Xinbao changed back into the little girl's clothes, while Huashuang dressed up as the eldest sister, and they went to the Guo family together.

The Guo family is also a powerful family in the area. Many people from the martial arts world came to take the martial arts examination this year. Guo Jingrui won the third place in the imperial examination. Many people knew about it and came to congratulate him. All the local friends came, so there were quite a lot of people.

Guo Dong greeted guests at the door with a smile on his face.

People in the underworld don't have so many rules. Hao Huashi and Ming Peidi went first, presented their gift list, and were allowed in after their names were announced.

Then Shen Shouyan took Xinbao and the others there and told Guo Dong their identities directly, but they could not be made public, so he only said that Yan Shichang brought his sister out to play.

Guo Dong had heard a lot of rumors about Xinbao and was very concerned, so he said, "I'll ask Jingrui to take them."

"Don't," Shen Shouyan was familiar with him and didn't mince words, so he said directly: "Tonight is Jingrui's party, it's too conspicuous to follow Jingrui! You can ask Jingcheng to take them with him, just treat them as his friends, inconspicuous."

Guo Dong agreed, called his second son over, and gave him some detailed instructions.

Guo Jingcheng was very mature. He agreed immediately and took them in.

If the aristocratic families saw what the people of the underworld did, the most unbearable thing was that they did not distinguish between seats for men and women.

Generally, for example, non-warriors sit together, those with families sit together, the old sit together, the young sit together...but the boundaries are not obvious, it's okay if you want to sit together, no matter which group, there are mostly men and women.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Guo Jingcheng took them to be with the young people.

The three of them followed Emperor Mingpei and took Madam Lin's surname, and changed their names to Lin Shuang, Lin Jue, and Lin Xin.

These three names are definitely ones that no one has heard of, but judging from Guo Jingcheng's attitude, everyone is quite enthusiastic.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down in the corner. Guo Jingcheng went over personally and brought them some fruit snacks.

A baby-faced young man came over and suddenly called out, "Xinbao!"

Yuan and Shen Jue were slightly surprised but did not show it on their faces. Xinbao's eyes were on the plate of snacks that Guo Jingcheng brought over, and he did not pay attention to it, so he did not agree.

The young man scratched his face, chuckled, then turned and walked away.

Shengping Palace was less than half a day's journey from here. In this place, an extremely beautiful and lovely little girl of four or five years old appeared. And Shen Shouyan happened to be here too. It was not surprising that some people were suspicious. However, it seemed that he had dispelled his doubts.

There was a young man next to them, leaning against the window reading a book, who looked up at them.

Yuan Shen Jue and others also looked at him.

The young man had a very handsome appearance and a scholarly air. He was reading a travelogue in his hand. He did not fit in with the people in the hall, yet he seemed inexplicably harmonious with them.

Their eyes met, the young man nodded to them with a smile, and continued to read his book.

At this moment, a burly man strode in and said as soon as he came in: "Jingcheng! Jingcheng!!"

Guo Jingcheng didn't even have time to say a word, he put down the snack plate and quickly stood up to greet him: "Old Hu, why are you here? Come on, let's go out and talk!"

As she spoke, she put her arm around his shoulders.

Old Hu shook his hand off, staring at him with his bulging eyes: "Your brother passed the military exam, is he going to be an official? Your family is going to be rich, what do you think of your brothers as?"

Guo Jingcheng said anxiously: "Let's go out and talk in detail."

"No need!" Old Hu said, "Let's make it clear here! If you still regard me, Hu Dakuan, as your brother, then your brother should not be an official! If you can't bear to give up this wealth and glory, then regard me, Hu Dakuan, as blind and has recognized the wrong person! We are enemies from now on!"

After the two of them started making noise, the noise in the room stopped and everyone looked at each other.

When people from the martial arts world take the military examination to become officials, besides being envious, there must be some who are jealous and some who really look down on them. But if you don't like them, then just don't come. But if you come and make such a fuss, isn't that ruining the party?
