Because Di Yan was not feeling well, Li Zhen stayed in Chang'an for another three days, and they did not return to Luoyang until eight days later.

"Brother Li, have you ever gone to the Ministry of War to sue the letter?"

As soon as he entered Luoyang City, Di Yan asked Li Zhen worriedly, it was the end of October and the registration for the martial arts scholar should be over. Why have he never heard of this?

Compared to his ambitions when he left Dunhuang, Li Zhen's heart to participate in the martial arts is much weaker now. So what if he is admitted to the martial arts? It's nothing more than being a low-level officer. If he doesn't have connections, he will never be able to make a fortune in his life.

Especially now that he has seen a lot of things, he realized how naive he was half a year ago, and he was determined to compete for the quota for martial arts.

After experiencing so many things, he realized that the road of life is not just about martial arts, but martial arts is the stupidest road, which will fix his future to death.

Although he was not very interested in martial arts, his eldest sister Li Quan has always been keen on imperial examinations and must ask him to participate in the martial arts examinations, which gave Li Zhen a headache.

Now even Di Yan asked about this, Li Zhen had to say lazily: "I have signed up and asked to go to Xingyang for training for several months. I have entrusted Gao Yanfu with my relationship and will be exempted from the training camp. I will directly participate in the Ministry of War Military Affairs in February next year."

"That's good, I thought you forgot."

At this time, Li Zhen remembered something, "Where do you live in Luoyang?"

Di Yan gave him a blank look, "My home is in Luoyang, where do you think I will live?"

Li Zhen laughed silently. He was really confused. He thought Di Yan had moved to Pengze County. He wanted to find an inn for her, but he forgot that her home was in Luoyang.

"Then I'll take you back first, and then go back to the store to have a good sleep."

Since he learned that the movie relic snare had nothing to do with the Duantan female corpse case, his heart suddenly relaxed. Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to know that the real murderer of the Duantan case was probably involved in the power struggle of the court, so he would better not participate too much.

In front of Di Mansion in Anyefang, Li Zhen and Di Yan said goodbye and returned directly to Nanshi. As soon as they arrived at the wine shop, they happened to meet their eldest sister Li Quan.

"Sister!"

Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, waved to the eldest sister and said, "Your brother is back, the business is pretty good!"

When Li Quan saw his brother, he felt a sense of ecstasy in his eyes, and then the ecstasy disappeared, and his face suddenly became gloomy. This was a sign of the coming of a storm. When Li Zhen approached, she grabbed Li Zhen's ear. From childhood to adulthood, this trick was unsatisfactory.

"You little brat, you actually ran out for half a month. Do you want me to worry about it?"

Although he was cursing, Li Quan was so excited that tears were almost falling. She was afraid that something would happen to her brother. Now he was finally back safely.

Li Quan cried with joy, but hated her teeth itched. She took no mercy. Li Zhen was so angry that she was twisted by her, "Sister, let go!"

This scene happened on the street, which attracted many people around to look at each other, and some shop assistants also covered their mouths and laughed. Li Quan suddenly thought that his brother was already old and had to save him some face, so he let go.

"Go into the store and you have to give me a honest explanation. If you leave without saying goodbye, where have you gone in the past half month?"

Li Zhen said angrily: "Didn't I leave you with a letter? I'll leave without saying goodbye."

"Where is there any letter? Why didn't I see it?"

Li Zhen didn't believe it, so he quickly walked into the store and searched in the counter. Soon, he found the letter he left to his eldest sister from the glove box. Before he even opened the letter, he was thrown into the glove box by Li Quan.

"I don't know what this is!" He slapped the letter on the counter and glared at his eldest sister.

Li Zhen was extremely annoyed. She clearly left her a letter, but she didn't read it herself, insisting that she didn't leave a letter, and twisted her ears as soon as she met her, and even regarded herself as a 7 or 8-year-old naughty boy.

Li Quan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's the eldest sister who is too busy. I didn't notice that I just hurt my Azhen, so I'll rub it for you."

She wanted to rub Li Zhen's ears, but Li Zhen became more and more angry as she thought about it. She blocked her hand and ran to the attic to pack up her things.

When Li Quan saw him carrying his bag, he was immediately panicked and quickly stopped him, "Where are you going?"

Li Zhen said calmly: "I'll stay in the inn so I can avoid looking at your face all day long."

Li Quan was panicked and anxious, holding his bag unloaded, "Sister blamed you wrongly. I have apologized to you. What else do you want?"

Li Zhen ignored her and walked towards the shop. Li Quan held his hand again and begged: "Azhen, don't leave, sister promises not to twist your ears anymore."

Li Zhen sighed, "Sister, I can't live with you all the time! I'll move out sooner or later, so just let me go! I'll come to see you every now and then."

Seeing that Li Quan could not persuade her brother, she felt even more anxious and had no choice but to do anything, so she lay on the door and started crying.

Li Zhen rarely saw his eldest sister crying. Thinking that his eldest sister had been raising him since childhood and was his only relative, his heart suddenly became soft, and his dissatisfaction disappeared. He had to say helplessly: "As long as you promise not to hit you, I will live with you for another two years."

"Sister promises not to hit you!"

Li Quan choked and said something even more sad. He lay on his brother's shoulders and sobbed and cried. Li Zhen also became sad and whispered to her, "Sister, stop crying, guy is watching the joke!"

Li Quan quickly wiped away his tears and said to Li Zhen with red eyes: "Sister has forgotten to tell you that we have bought a new house, right next door to Fushanfang, and it is the house introduced by Qiu Niang. The room my sister has already cleaned up, so I will take you there."

"Sister is moving very quickly! I've bought the house in less than half a month?"

Li Quan said a little embarrassedly: "It's only half a month away. I've been looking at the house for several months. But I didn't have money at that time, so it was useless to see it. I finally had some savings and I started to do it soon."

Li Quan rode a donkey and walked slowly with his brother. Li Zhen asked again with a smile: "How much does it cost to buy a house with sister?"

"The other party asked for a price of 1,200 guan, and then bargained. The last 1,000 guan was sold, covering an area of ​​about four acres. It was only renovated last year. If it were at Xiuyefang, the four acres of houses would be at least 2,000 guan. It was located in the south market and could not be sold at the price."

"I heard that the house in Luoshuibei only costs 600 guan, which is cheaper. Why don't my sister consider it?"

"Bah! I don't want even three hundred guan. In places like Luoshuibei, you will encounter ghosts in broad daylight. In the future, your brother-in-law will become an official. Speaking of being in the north of Luoshui, is it embarrassing to lose it!"

Li Zhen thought of the house he bought by Jiuzhi. It seemed that he bought four acres of houses in Guiyifang on the north bank of Luoshui. He bought 600 guan and it was very cheap.

After a few months of separation, Li Zhen missed the fat man a little, and I don’t know when he would come back?

Soon, the siblings and brothers came to their new house in Fushanfang. Li Zhen fell in love with this house at first sight. The house was quiet, with two lush locust trees in front of the gate, and there were 1 meter-high walls around them. Several craftsmen were painting the walls with lime.

Although the house is not big, it looks square. Behind it is a small river with weeping willows on both sides of the river and the scenery is beautiful. The river flows into Luoshui. Although it is early winter, the leaves are withering and the scenery is bleak, you can imagine the lush greenness in spring.

"How is it, my sister has a good attitude!" Li Quan smiled proudly.

"good!"

Li Zhenlian praised: "It looks a bit like our old Dunhuang house, and it looks very home-like."

"Then you still want to move out!"

Li Quan couldn't help but want to knock him hard again, but as soon as he raised his hand, he thought of his promise. He rubbed his hands in the air for a few times, and then let them go.

“Fast come home!”

Although Li Zhen avoided this beating, he also knew that his sister's promise never counted. It lasted for three days at most, and sooner or later, it would be repeated. If she didn't hit her a few times, she would not be her eldest sister.

He had no choice but to lament in his heart, and led his horse to Li Quan into the door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young lady about fifteen or sixteen years old coming up. She was wearing a round snail bun, wearing a red jacket, a green cloth skirt, and a round face, and her skin was white.

"Madam is back!"

The little girl's voice sounded very nice and she moved quickly. She stepped forward to take the package from Li Quan's hand.

Li Zhen was stunned, who is this?

Li Quan seemed to like this little girl very much and smiled and said, "Xiao Lian, this is what I told you about A Zhen. Just call him young master in the future."

The little girl was very obedient and bowed, "Xiao Lian, please see the young master!"

Li Zhen immediately guessed that this must be the little maid bought by the eldest sister. This little girl is very sweet-mouthed and can be liked.

Li Zhen nodded, but the little lady secretly looked at Li Zhen. Seeing that he was tall and big, he looked talented and turned red. He quickly led Li Quan's donkey to the livestock room.

Li Quan looked at her back and smiled, "Xiao Lian is also from Shazhou. Her surname is Jiang. Her parents died. She was kidnapped by human traffickers and was almost sold to a brothel. I happened to meet her. When I saw her pitiful, I bought her and served Auntie specifically, which would save me from being upset."

"Auntie is here?"

"She probably went to Hongfa Temple. The temple is near Nanshi. She stays there most of her day and will only see her at night."

At this moment, Li Quan suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I will tell you about your brother-in-law later. I will take you to put the horse on your horse first and then take a look at your room."

Li Quan took his brother to set up horses and took him to his room. Li Quan thought very carefully for his brother. Of course, he did not let him sleep in the attic, but gave him the East Courtyard, a small courtyard with plum trees and apricot trees planted in the courtyard, facing three rooms.

"This is your dormitory!"

Li Quan pushed open a room and said, "There are all beds, bedding, cabinets, and wardrobes. Next door is your study. Study hard for me, don't stumble around all day long. There is still a room that is temporarily empty. Your friends can stay there when they come."

Li Zhen was moved when he saw that his eldest sister was considerate for him very carefully. He knew that his eldest sister had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. Although she liked to hit her, she cared for herself in every possible way.

"Thank you sister!" Li Zhen whispered.

Li Quan glared at him fiercely, "You muddy boy, you are ungrateful!"

Li Quan scolded him a few words, asked him to put down his things, and took him to the main hall again. At this time, Xiao Lian brought them hot tea.

"Sit down and have a tea, and I'll tell you about your brother-in-law."

Li Zhen sat down, took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you brother-in-law gone to Gao Mansion?"

"This is what I want to say. Your brother-in-law is no longer in Gao Mansion."

Li Zhen was stunned. What's going on?

"Sister, what happened?" Li Zhen asked with some concern.

"Actually, it's also a good thing. It seems to be the day before yesterday! Your brother-in-law told me that King Liang came to visit Gaofujun and specially asked your brother-in-law to be a staff member, giving him a salary of 100 yuan a month, and promising him to his career."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Zhen suddenly realized something was wrong. At first he thought that Gao Yanfu recommended his brother-in-law to Wu Sansi, but soon he realized that it seemed that it had nothing to do with Gao Yanfu, but Wu Sansi came to him.

"The brother-in-law doesn't teach Gao Lishi's calligraphy anymore?"

"It seems that you are still teaching! When you go every five days, your brother-in-law doesn't want to be the master of the little eunuch. He said he would be looked down upon."

Li Zhen frowned, what's going on? Why did Wu Sansi come to ask for his brother-in-law? Li Zhen changed his mind and suddenly realized, was it Shangguan Wan'er?
