Pei Yu was riding on his horse and asked Tian Qing beside him, "Where are the wild geese?"
Tianqing replied, "Master, our men discovered traces of wild geese in a relatively warm valley yesterday. They were about to fly south. Since you said you would catch them yourself, our men used a little trick to keep the geese for two more days."
"Okay, lead the way."
If he didn't speed up a bit, he was afraid that the geese would all fly away, and it would be difficult to wait, and he didn't know when the next batch of geese flying south would arrive here.
The place where the wild geese were found is located in a valley on the bank of the Yangtze River. It is neither close nor far from Daohua Village, and it takes half a day to get there by horseback.
When he arrived at the valley, it was already mid-afternoon. Seeing some wild geese still in the valley, he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
The ten secret guards who were left here also breathed a sigh of relief. At this time at noon, these wild geese were about to set off. It took a lot of effort to keep them here.
Now the prince has finally arrived, and this mission has not failed.
Pei Yu didn't say any more nonsense. He used his lightness skills to go down the valley and soon caught two shiny, fat and strong wild geese.
He moved quickly and caught the goose before it could react. It was not hurt at all, and even the pattern on its feathers was not damaged.
"Well done, go back and claim your reward."
"yes."
Several secret guards were very happy. They were good secret guards, but they needed money. Although they could not marry and have children now, they still needed money for eating, drinking, and having fun.
They are secret guards, and they all live on the edge of a knife. When they are not on a mission, they will use their own money to buy delicious food and fun things.
If it exists there and I don’t come back from the next mission, it would all be in vain!
Pei Yu looked at the two wild geese in his hand, his lips curled up, and handed them to Tian Qing beside him, "Take good care of them, and don't neglect them in the slightest."
"yes."
Tianqing took it carefully, blindfolded the goose, and locked it in a cage prepared nearby.
Tianqing stayed behind and slowly brought the two wild geese back, while Pei Yu rode back to his house in Qingxi County to see the prepared betrothal gifts. He wanted to see them with his own eyes, and there could be no mistakes.
"An Yi, send someone to Suzhou to inform Lu Jing to come over."
"yes."
The person following him now is An Yi, who is the most skilled among all the secret guards and is responsible for his safety and other affairs of the secret guard camp on a daily basis.
Pei Yu was well aware of Lu Jing's thoughts on A Li, but he had never crossed the line and had never thought of expressing his love out loud, and Chen Li didn't know about it.
The treasure map last time and the potatoes and corn this time made him unable to deny that Lu Jing was a qualified businessman.
He knew that these things could not be kept in his hands and would bring disaster to the Lu family, but he could not trust himself, so he handed them to Ali and asked her to pass them on to him.
If Lu Jing no longer covets Ali, everything will be fine.
Ali is his savior, so he will keep this title until the end.
…
The boat was sailing very fast, and Shen Changshan arrived in Suzhou soon. He rented a carriage at the dock and went to Lushan Academy. When he arrived, the academy was still closed, but Yang Fan was inside, so he didn't have to wait outside.
By the time Shen Qi'an finished school, the sun had already set. The academy didn't normally let students finish so late, but he had asked the teacher a few more questions.
Shen Changshan paced back and forth in the yard and asked Yang Fan beside him, "Does the fourth child always leave school so late?"
Yang Fan: "Master, not necessarily, but the young master is basically the last one to leave every day."
After hearing this, Shen Changshan sighed inwardly. It seemed that being able to go to the Imperial College was of vital importance to the fourth child.
If he didn't go, perhaps he could successfully pass the examination to become a scholar or even a juren. If he went, his foundation would be more solid and he would go further in the future.
When Shen Qi'an came back with his book box, he saw his father pacing back and forth in the yard, as if something urgent had happened.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Shen Changshan was brought back to his senses by his voice. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice someone walking in front of him.
"Old Four, you're finally back!"
He looked excited, but also happy.
"Dad, sit down and talk. Why are you standing and walking around?"
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired. Come here, Fourth Brother. Dad has something to tell you."
Seeing Shen Qi'an putting away the book box, he waved and called him over.
"Tell me, what is it that makes you so excited?"
Shen Changshan clapped his hands, "What a great event!"
He wanted to see his son excited, but he still looked indifferent.
He shook his head and said bluntly: "Your elder brother and Zi'an are back. You know that Pei Yu is the King of Jingnan, right?"
"I know, but this shouldn't be worth getting so excited about."
This child knew the truth but didn't even tell his parents.
"Well, your elder brother has made great contributions and will go to the capital to be rewarded on the emperor's birthday. We will also go to the capital together, so you should get up too."
"I'm not going. Just get down to business."
Shen Qi'an listened to his father rambling on and on without getting to the point, so he simply let him speak directly.
"Okay," Shen Changshan was not angry even though he was rejected. He said with a complicated expression, "Zi'an has a quota for recommending students to enter the Imperial College. He said he wants you to go."
Shen Qi'an paused in his tapping motion on the table, his fingers stuck in mid-air, neither moving up nor down.
Imperial College?
Can he go to the Imperial College?
His heart suddenly started beating violently. If he could go to the Imperial College, his future would be smoother, he would make more friends, and it would be beneficial to his future career.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then quickly returned to normal, "Dad, what does the prince want?"
"No, he didn't say anything, and Ali agreed."
Shen Qi'an's heart, which had been beating violently just now, slowly calmed down. He didn't say it, and he didn't even need to think about it, because it was for Ah Li.
He also brought his entire family to the capital, not just for his eldest brother, there must be other purposes.
But since Ali agreed, she must have already made up her mind.
The Shen family had nothing that could make Prince Jingnan put down his pride and make plans, it was all for Ah Li.
"Dad, the dean is not in the academy today. I will go to talk to the dean about this tomorrow morning."
"Okay, we'll go back after you're done. By the way, what should we do with these two houses?"
