3. Spring thoughts

King Duan stood silently in front of him, his tall figure motionless, and he didn't say a word.

Shen Yu didn't dare to raise her head, hiding her hands in her sleeves, her fingertips clasped her palms, and she felt layers of sweat.

After all, it's the body of a prince, so it shouldn't be so small that you have to worry about her as a little girl, right? She thought. But another voice was saying again, the dignified prince is famous, and even the second-grade adults have to be cautiously served, you little girl actually dare to despise and spurn, don't die?

Shen Yu didn't understand the temperament of this prince, so naturally she couldn't figure out his plans.

He stood anxiously for a long time, and when his heart was about to rise to his throat, the man on the other side finally moved his steps, didn't say anything, and walked sideways.

Shen Yan's body softened, and she hurriedly held on to the branch next to her.

The little fox went and returned, standing under the roots of the tree and looking up at her, his face full of curiosity.

Shen Yu stood for a long time before she came to her senses, squatted down and played with the little fox for a while, and left only when her mind was completely calm.

Of course, Shen Yu was not in the mood to join in the fun anymore on the side of Jingzhao Pavilion, so she turned a corner and was walking towards the school, but met Dong Shujin halfway.

"Grandma, Grandma!" Uncle Dong's face was full of joy, and he shouted to her from afar, "The time of a month is up, how is the overprint book you said is engraved?" ”

Dong Shujin is also fifteen years old, and he is one year older than Shen Yan, but I don't know if he has been idle and comfortable for too long or because he is like this, he always looks like he is babbling and not thinking about everything.

There are many students in the academy in the academy, and when they heard him mention the overprinted book in a loud voice, they all gathered around curiously.

"Ah, everyone is waiting to see, take it out and open our eyes." Dong Shujin obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and reminded him again when he got closer.

"The engraving was engraved half a month ago, and it should be printed at this time, so I will take it back and invite you to appreciate it."

Shen Yan is actually a little looking forward to the color overprinted book, but there are many officials coming and going in the academy recently, maybe you can meet a noble person somewhere, and it is not good to be noisy like Dong Shujin.

She couldn't say anything to other students, but Uncle Dong was a friend who was used to playing, and there were few taboos in words, so he immediately straightened his face slightly, and said, "Have you forgotten the master's recent warnings?" Duan Wang Ye and Xuezheng are still in Jingzhao Pavilion! ”

"Oops." Uncle Dong covered his mouth carefully, "I'm happy to forget about it for a while." ”

He had a deep relationship with Shen Yan, and knew Shen Yu's intention of deliberately reminding him, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't follow me, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the past two days, read more and make less trouble, and beware of being disciplined by the master." ”

Everyone was a teenager of the same age, and they were used to seeing Uncle Dong's words and words in front of Shen Yan, and they all remembered the master's admonition, so they immediately laughed and dispersed.

Here, Uncle Dong smiled and said, "Can you give me a taste of that book first?" ”

"It's good! The set of books that Uncle Dong asked for should have been printed, and it was just right for you to take with you. ”

Because Qin Yu was also quite interested in the matter of the set of books, Shen Yu and Uncle Dong called him to go with him.

As a result, Xue Ning didn't know where it came from, and said to Uncle Dong: "Third cousin, I also want to go and take a look." ”

Xue Ning is the daughter of Xue Wanrong, a scholar and a frequent visitor to the academy, because she admires Qin Yu's demeanor, she likes to use the identity of Uncle Dong's cousin to join in the fun.

However, she and Shen Yan have a clashing aura, and after meeting, they will be cynical when they speak only three or four sentences, and Shen Yu has never liked her very much. But it is undeniable that Xue Ning is actually quite good-looking, especially the slightly upturned lips at that moment, which are even more cute and exquisite.

Of course, Uncle Dong also took care of this cousin, glanced at Shen Yu and said, "Then let's take a look?" ”

Shen Yu couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed.

At this time, the matter in Jingzhao Pavilion was not over, and Shen Ping, as the vice president of the academy, naturally couldn't leave, and the carriage had to be kept for backup.

Luling Academy was not close to the Shen Mansion, and it was too tiring to walk over, so Qin Yu beckoned: "Let's go, let's ride over." "Although the Luling Academy is quiet and elegant, there are no horses, but there are horse shops near the academy, which are specially rented by people.

The two of them took the lead, and Xue Ning and Dong Shujin followed behind.

Bypassing the downtown area, the trio walked slowly along the Mae Shui, which runs through the city. In March, the spring is in full bloom, the willows along the embankment are graceful with the wind, and the swallows can be seen flying low everywhere and the spring flowers are smiling. Under this kind of scenery, Shen Yu is in a good mood, pulling a willow tip from time to time, or picking two wild flowers, and between the dexterous fingers flying, she has already made a beautiful garland.

In normal times, you can naturally wear a garland to play, but at this time, wearing the crown of the academy, you naturally can't wear a garland on your head, so you have to hang it on your wrist.

Qin Yu has been walking hand in hand with her, looking sideways at the slender and tender white wrist hidden between the spring flowers and willows, and the five fingers are unconsciously playing with it, the beauty is indescribable.

The delicate fingers seem to stretch into the heart, gently and gently playing at will, like a spring breeze blowing through the heart, rippling in circles.

In the slightly moving spring breeze, he was distracted for a while.

Later, when Uncle Dong saw that stupid look, he smiled sheepishly, and immediately patted his horse and said, "Yizhi, don't you have to look at the road when you ride a horse?" Beware of crashing into that old elm tree in front of you! ”

Of course, Xue Ning, who was always paying attention to Qin Yu, also saw it, and said sourly: "Qin Gongzi, this is something interesting to see, in such a daze, his soul is gone?" ”

"Oh." Qin Yu came back to his senses, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he said without changing his face: "I just remembered a strange thing, and I couldn't figure it out, so I was distracted." ”

"What's strange?" Uncle Dong believes it to be true.

"Look at the garden." Qin Yu pointed to a garden on the opposite bank that was covered by lush apricot blossom leaves, "I heard that after His Royal Highness Duanwang came down to Luling, he actually chose to live here. ”

"That seems to be the Lingering Garden, the one not far from Grandma's house!" Uncle Dong smiled and said, "Is it a benefit to stay in the garden?" If so, then Grandma will take advantage of it. ”

"What kind of bargain can Shen Yu get?" Xue Ning was not angry.

Uncle Dong said solemnly: "What do you think, what is the most important thing in our Luling City, that is, to study and study!" His Royal Highness Duan Wang lives there, and if anyone wants to visit, it is best to bring some elegant books in addition to the tacky gold and silver. Auntie's bookstore is there, and it is so famous, there are dozens of beautifully framed books that no one will buy, and when the time comes, we will sell twenty or two sets, and we will definitely rush to get it! ”

…… Qin Yue rolled his eyes rarely.

Shen Yu also laughed and said, "Uncle, you should really go home and help take care of business." However, speaking of which, this lingering garden has been abandoned for several years, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and it must be very barren and dilapidated. ”

The Lingering Garden on the other side is the garden of a left-hand politician in Wuchuan before, and later he was implicated in a major case in the palace, his family was raided, all the men were beheaded, and the women were exiled or enslaved, and the garden was empty.

The Lingering Garden is built very exquisitely and exquisitely, and only the rich and official eunuchs in the city can afford it, but because there is such a thing, everyone is taboo, and it has been empty for several years, allowing it to be barren and cold, and the government has never paid attention to it.

This time, His Royal Highness Duan Wang came to Luling and rejected the mansion carefully selected by Jiang Wenying and others, but moved into such a place, which is really incomprehensible.

Qin Yu next to him shook his head and said: "It's not barren, someone went to visit King Duan in the Lingering Garden yesterday, and it is said that it is freshly decorated and clean." ”

"Freshwashed?" Shen Yu was taken aback at this time, "But from the beginning of the year to now, I have never heard of anyone going to repair that lingering garden!" ”

"Yes, before yesterday, no one in this Manluling City knew that the Lingering Garden had been sorted out. Do you think that our Royal Highness Duan Wang is very clever? ”

It's not just clever, it can be said to be elusive!

Shen Yu suddenly remembered that when Shen Ping entered the door that day, he sighed, "His Royal Highness King Duan's dismount."

If that day Duanwang rode lightly and let the three Wuchuan members carefully prepare for the reception ceremony to be counted as Ma Wei, then this time he refused the local arrangement, and unknowingly sorted out the Lingering Garden and lived in it, which was a bigger dismount!

It's no wonder that Qin Yue seemed to be preoccupied when he mentioned this, last time, several dignitaries at least found out the exact time when King Duan arrived in Luling, but this time, people are repairing the garden under your nose, but no one in the huge Luling City notices!

Moreover, he can avoid Qin Xiong's ears and eyes in everything, I am afraid that when Lord Qin learns the news, his face will be hot.

What she couldn't figure out was that King Duan came to Luling this time to coordinate the matter of the book collection for the prime minister, and if she wanted these big officials to cooperate, she naturally couldn't stiffen the relationship. But he came to such two unexpected things, which are really unpredictable.

However, Shen Yu is promoted to the small people, and there is no need to think through the thoughts of these heavenly nobles, and don't think about it anymore at the moment.

When they arrived at the carving workshop of the Shen Mansion, as soon as the four of them entered the door, He Bo greeted them.

"Shaodong, Qin Gongzi, Dong Gongzi." He saluted Xue Ning again, and then said, "Looking at the appearance of Dong Gongzi, I'm afraid it's for Master Dong's set of books, right?" ”

Shen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle He, did you guess wrong, we came to see the set of books, have you loaded it?" ”

He Bo patted his head and said, "Ouch, look at my memory!" It's all loaded, please go to the hall for a while, I'll pick it up. He called a fellow to greet him, and went to the storehouse first.

Shen Yu was also not polite in her family's bookstore, and beckoned the other three people into the hall.

After a short time, Uncle He came over with a pair of delicate bookcases, took out the books carefully placed inside with both hands, and placed them on the table.

Uncle Dong was in a hurry, grabbed it and turned two pages, his face full of admiration.

Qin Yu's eyes next to him were also full of appreciation, "I didn't expect Grandma to have such skills!" ”

Uncle Dong was also sighing, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yizhi, you said, His Royal Highness King Duan is asking for books, if he sees this book, will our Ah Yu and the Shen family bookstore be able to go to the capital famously?" ”

Duanwang Xu Yan...... Shen Yan shuddered in her heart.

Although this is indeed an excellent opportunity for her, she has to face the cold and murderous god of war...... Shen Yan thought this idea was terrible.
