When Peng Zeliang passed by the gate, he asked the servant whether Qingqing would return to the mansion. The gatekeeper reported to the eldest lady and Mr. Su and Mr. Su who brought a few scholars into the mansion.

Therefore, Peng Zeliang knew that when he walked to the first entrance to the living room, his eyes were looking at the situation inside the house.

When Su Chen saw his father-in-law coming back, he stood up to greet him and bowed, "Su Chen has met Uncle Peng."

Peng Zeliang still accepted the prospective son-in-law from the bottom of his heart. He even looked at him as a baby, showed a smile, put one hand behind his back, stroked his beard with his right hand and said, "It's good to come back. Today I have heard that you were in the palace last night, treating the queen and prince, and stabilized the noble person's condition. He was highly praised by the officials and did a good job!"

Su Chen responded modestly: "As a doctor, I will do my best to save people. Fortunately, the condition of the queen and the prince was diagnosed by me so that the right medicine could be given."

Peng Zeliang nodded and did not ask any more questions. After all, there were other outsiders at the scene and his eyes swept the living room.

Jiang Tao, Xia Baosong and Liu Dong immediately stepped forward and bowed: "I have met Lord Peng."

Peng Zeliang saw that the three of them had a bruised nose and a swelling face, but he didn't show a smile. He just pretended not to see it and asked politely: "Who are these three young men? Su Chen, how about you introduce me to me?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Peng, these three are students from Tai Academy I met by chance on the way. They are in the same class as me and are about to participate in the autumn imperial examination."

"In Xia Jiangtao, grandfather Jiang Wenmo."

"Student Xia Baosong."

"Student student...Liu Dong!"

The three of them reported their names and were very respectful to Peng Zeliang. After all, this was the prefect of Jiangning, a third-rank official. For them, they were important officials of the court whom they could look up to.

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tao was still the old minister Jiang Wenmo, and he was considered a famous family and a scholarly family. As for the other two, although they were of ordinary origin, they must have been recognized by Su Chen since they could be invited into the family.

"You guys don't have to be restrained. When you arrive in Peng's house, you will think that it's no different when you enter Su's house. Su Chen and his daughter are engaged, and in the future they will be my husband's son-in-law. He is in the house and can make a decision for me."

Peng Zeliang's generous speech gave Su Chen enough face.

When Su Chen heard this, he was a little flattered and thought to himself: It was not the time to strictly guard against contacting his daughter.

Peng Zeliang asked the three of them to sit down first, then he walked to the main seat, while Su Chen sat in the deputy seat, which turned into a five-person discussion mode.

"You three are injured. Is this someone beaten? Why didn't you go to the government office to report the case?"

Jiang Tao bowed and said, "Go back to Lord Peng, it's really not to be hiding. The three of us could not bear to see that Cha Yuanshang, the youngest son of Cha Yuanshang, bullied the girl from the people, and said he would stop him. Instead, he was beaten by his servants. Fortunately, Mr. Su and Miss Peng passed by and rescued him. This was not a big deal. In addition, Cha Yuanshang was used to being rampant and had a deep background. We were just students of Tai Academy and had no power or power. Even if we sued, we would at most pay a little copper coins to make the matter. So we didn't go to report to the official."

Peng Zeliang nodded and sighed, "So that's the case. The royal family and imperial officials in the capital have many doors, and there are many yamen and dans. Of course, most of them are still well-behaved. Don't be disappointed because of this. Trees do not grow without roots, and people do not have ambitions. Only with correct ambitions can we not be affected by these ugly things, strive to become pillars of the court, contact the center, and then do more meaningful things for the people, so that we can change the secular status quo."

The three of them were moved by Lord Peng's far-sighted words and all looked happy to be taught. Scholars pay attention to "morality", and their writings are written to carry the truth. Yue's words are noble and in line with the Confucian Tao. Scholars praise them as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Su Chen shook his head gently, thinking that if Lord Peng knew about his daughter and beat the Cha family to death, I wonder if he could still be as calm as this.

In terms of justice, Qingqing is still the same Qingqing!

Next, Peng Zeliang asked about the three of them preparing for the autumn examination, and casually talked about some articles from the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Jin and Tang Dynasties. These three people can often quote the classics and answer them smoothly, and have a solid basic skills.

This time, Su Chen was not like listening to the heavenly book, because he had made up for many classical articles and poems in the past two months. With his unforgettable memory and graduate student learning methods, he wrote down all these knowledge. Therefore, Su Chen could understand the allusions and the source of the article they said.

Peng Zeliang praised the three people and said, "Yes, you are very good at studying the classics and literature. You have real talents and real knowledge. It should be a big problem to be able to pass the Jinshi. If you are lucky, you may be able to squeeze into the top three!"

Xia Baosong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I won't consider the top three. This competition incentive, especially Mr. Su, who also participates in this imperial examination, will definitely become the new top scorer in the spring exam next year."

Jiang Tao nodded and echoed: "That is, the current spring examination examination in the Tang Dynasty often tests a poem, an article, or a word, and does not test scriptures and policy comments. It is compared with poetry and articles. Who can write beautiful and beautiful things to have a chance? Every poem by Mr. Su can cover up the scholars in the world and must win the top scholar."

"Same and same...will!" Liu Dong praised.

Su Chen felt the pressure doubled, and the people of Jiangnan seemed to be waiting for him to pass the imperial examination and win the imperial examination and hit the top scorer. If he fails the exam, he will probably be shameless to see anyone.

Peng Zeliang was delighted when he heard the three young scholars so highly praised his prospective son-in-law. He smiled on his face, turned to look at Su Chen, and asked, "Su Chen, how are you preparing for the exam these days in Runzhou?"

Su Chen said halfway guiltily: "Back to Uncle Peng, I have been thanking guests in Runzhou and studying hard for the scriptures and writings. As long as the questions are not uncommon, I should be able to pass the exam. As for the top scorer, Jie Yuan, I didn't consider it!"

Jiang Tao and Xia Baosong looked at Su Chen with admiration. Such a talented person speaks so low-key and humble, and his character is really useless!

Peng Zeliang coughed and reminded: "Young people should still have ambitions!"

"This... the imperial examination requires strength and luck. Please do your best!" Su Chen still didn't dare to say all of his words. In the ancient imperial examination, he could not rely on his own strength. He could only expect the exam questions to be linked to the articles he memorized in his previous life.

At this time, Peng Qingqing walked back. Before the person arrived, she shouted: "Su Chen, the yard and room prepared for you have been cleaned up."

Peng Zeliang stood up and saw his daughter walking in such a hurry, without any ladylike appearance, and had a headache, and coughed dryly, "Qingqing, don't scream."

"Oh, Dad is back." Peng Qingqing smiled at her father Zhan Yan. As for the reproach, she didn't care at all. She has been accustomed to it since she was a child.

Peng Zeliang said: "Okay, I have something to do. Let's go to the study to handle some official affairs first. You young people will talk. Since the three young men have become Su Chen's friends, you can leave for lunch.

Jiang Tao and others were flattered and declined, "I am so grateful to have the help of Mr. Su and Miss Peng. If you bother me more, I will be really sorry."

Peng Zeliang waved his hand and told them to be more casual and not be so restrained. Then he left the reception hall and went to the study room where he entered the yard for the second time.

Peng Qingqing smiled at Su Chen and said, "Let's go, do you want to go over and take a few friends to talk to you, so it's more convenient to talk."

Su Chen nodded and said, "It's great. Come with me. Let's go to the other courtyard to cook tea and discuss poetry."
