But this is all a later story, Shen Yuxiao and the others have returned to the Shen Mansion It has been time to take the lamp, and the Fang family is very happy to learn that Shen Yuanxiang and Shen Yuqiao have won the lottery, and it is a reward to see it, and it is even more unpleasant to look at Shen Yuxiao, who should have been appreciated by the princess, but did not appear in the limelight, and only felt that she had wasted an opportunity, just useless.

Shen Yufang was not at odds with Shen Yuanxiang, and she always hated Shen Yuanxiang's identity, and when she heard that she had won the reward, she closed the door angrily and cried on the bed. Aunt Gu looked distressed and went up to persuade her, but Shen Yufang simply poured her anger on Aunt Gu, complaining that she gave birth to her but couldn't give her the identity of her concubine. So when I said hello at night, Aunt Gu's eyes were still red.

Listening to Fang's sarcasm openly and secretly, Shen Yuxiao just didn't understand it and stood obediently. The corner of his eye swept over Shen Jinhua who was standing on the other side, and he was shocked to find that Shen Jinhua was a little abnormal.

In the past, although Shen Jinhua was humble, his eyebrows and eyes were full of ambition, but today he looks a little wilted.

seemed to notice Shen Yuxiao's gaze, Shen Jinhua looked up and smiled, but he was a little bitter, thinking that even Shen Yuxiao's daughter's family could see it, and he had always been self-righteous, and he couldn't help but be ruthless in his heart, and he must not make mistakes again and again.

Fang Shi looked at Shen Yuxiao with a submissive appearance, and his heart was even more annoyed, but there was nothing wrong with her, she couldn't have a seizure, the more she looked at it, the more she was angry, and simply sent everyone in the room away.

Out of Songhe Courtyard, Shen Yuxiao deliberately slowed down a few steps to say hello to Shen Yuanxiang, since the Spring Festival came back, they have not been able to speak.

Shen Jinhua, who had just been next to Shen Yuanxiang and had been walking in front, turned around and looked at Shen Yuxiao.

"Brother? What happened to you? Why do you keep staring at the third sister? Seeing this, Shen Yuanxiang, who was walking with Shen Yuxiao, opened his mouth in surprise.

Shen Jinhua lowered his head a little decadently: "The third sister has already seen it, so I asked the second brother to guide me to know Su Gongzi." ”

"A few days ago, the eldest brother asked my father to read the article, put it in the study, Yuxiao accidentally saw it, and suddenly remembered what one of my father's protégés in Yuezhou had said." Shen Yuxiao knew that Shen Jinhua couldn't accept it for a while, and it was not difficult to understand. Shen Jinhua has always been the most outstanding and intelligent among the grandchildren of the Shen family, and has attracted much attention in the official school of Cheng'en Hall since his enlightenment. Because the Shen family has grace, one of the children and grandchildren can be exempted from the township examination, the assessment of the government examination, and directly participate in the examination. Now he suddenly learned that he had always been proud of something, but it was just on paper, how not to shock him.

"Oh? What words? Shen Jinhua's face was slightly better, and he looked at Shen Yuxiao.

"Looking at the official students in Beijing, there are very few people who take the high school entrance examination every time, and the famous officials in Beijing sit in the hall, and they have learned thousands, and the authors of the list are all from other countries. I thought that the children of Confucianism in Beijing were kind and charitable, and they thought of the hardships of the countryside, and they were polite and conceivable. After listening to the official study for a few days, I suddenly realized that Mr. Zhongzhong of the official school is very knowledgeable, and the subset of the history of the teacher is slightly involved, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Fanbang language, and even more for the way of the official, the way of the predecessors. But he ignored the Four Books and Five Classics, and the current affairs and policies. The content of the imperial examination is nothing more than these categories, so it is rare for the best in official schools to be on the list. "In short, it's about learning things that focus on a different level.

Shen Jinhua is a smart person, so he naturally quickly understood what Shen Yuxiao meant, was silent for a long time, and then looked up again, and the decadence in his eyes had faded a little. Su Linyuan said the same thing today, although he couldn't hear it at the time, but Shen Jinhua was not a self-contained person, and he figured it out on the way back, but it was just difficult to accept it for a while.

Shen Wenshan also thought of this, so he found the problem when he saw Shen Jinhua's article early, but he didn't say it in vain, in addition to being afraid of Shen Jinhua's affordability, more importantly, Shen Jinhua can be an official without high school, and his life will be smooth. As long as there are no big mistakes and there are predecessors who open the way, he can firmly hold the Shen family's business.

"The Shen family has grace, and my grandfather exchanged his great military exploits for the grace of one of his children, so the eldest brother can enter the office without high school. Most of the disciples in the official school are like this, so they only need to learn the way of being an official, the history of dynasties throughout the ages, summarize the experience of prosperity and defeat of the previous dynasty, and be able to write a chapter. Shen Yuxiao said softly, but Shen Yuanxiang, who was standing on the side, was surprised, when did the third sister know so many things.

Shen Yuxiao looked at Shen Yuanxiang with a strange expression, but she didn't explain much, some things are not something that you can understand.

Shen Jinhua completely listened to Shen Yuxiao's words: "Who is the second uncle's protégé?" ”

"Guan Boya." Shen Yuxiao saw that Shen Jinhua had already walked out of the nightmare in her heart, and her heart was slightly relieved.

It can be regarded as repaying Shen Jinhua's kindness for blocking the Fang clan and rescuing Shen Jinxi.

Shen Jinhua was very excited when he heard Shen Yuxiao's words: "What the third sister said is the Guan Boya of Lianzhong Binyuan? Do others also come to Beijing to take the entrance examination? ”

"Exactly, but Senior Brother Boya said when his father returned to Beijing that he would take the examination in two years, and now I am afraid that I don't know where it is." Shen Yuxiao couldn't help but think of Zhao Yihe when she talked about Guan Boya, Guan Boya's temperament was quite similar to Zhao Yihe. The same unruly and unrestrained nature. Others said that Zhao Yihe was undisciplined and uninhibited, but Shen Yuxiao felt that this qiē was more like an illusion in these contacts, and the contact with Zhao Yihe made people feel that he was thoughtful and orderly.

Thinking like this, a smile overflowed the corners of Shen Yuxiao's mouth, making Shen Yuanxiang look sideways slightly: "What are you laughing at the third sister?" ”

"I just thought of a joke Tianhua said today." Shen Yuxiao replied perfunctorily.

Shen Yuanxiang and Shen Jinhua naturally won't delve into it.

Shui Hua watched the Su family and the Liu family gradually move away, this is not far from the Songhe Courtyard, men and women cannot sit at the same table at the age of six, Shen Jinhua and Shen Yuxiao are cousins, according to common sense, even if they speak, they should be separated, of course, their own family members will not really pay attention to everything at home, otherwise they will be too restrained. However, Shen Yuxiao was so unpopular with the Fang family, if she knew about it, she would have to take advantage of the difficulty, so she reminded softly: "Third Miss, Madame has already gone away." ”

Shen Jinhua naturally understood what Shui Hua meant, and reacted at the moment, slightly embarrassed: "I have delayed the third sister for so long, the time is not early, I still have to go to the outer courtyard, so I bother my sister to send the third sister for me." ”

After speaking, when Shen Yuxiao and Shen Yuanxiang walked away, they went to the outer courtyard alone.

When Shen Jinhua couldn't be seen, Shen Yuxiao took Shen Yuanxiang's hand and congratulated: "It's been a long time since I came back, and I haven't had time to congratulate my eldest sister on winning the lottery today, it is estimated that in two days, the entire Beijing will know that my Shen family has a female Yuanxiang." ”

Hearing Shen Yuxiao teasing her about the Spring Festival, Shen Yuanxiang blushed slightly: "Really? Who doesn't know that the smartest in our family is the third sister. ”

"That's, I don't look at whose sister it is, can I not be smart. But God is really fair, and gave Yuxiao a brain, so he accepted this talent for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Dodging Shen Yuanxiang's hand that reached over and pinched her waist, Shen Yuxiao smiled and quipped.

"T, you're not satisfied." Shen Yuanxiang didn't succeed, so he buried the sentence.

The examination will be held on March 15, and there will be three consecutive examinations of three days each.

The big family here had just sent Shen Jinhua away, but the Fang family suddenly said in front of everyone: "Tomorrow, I will personally go to Fahua Temple to pray for Jinhua, the eldest girl and the second girl will stay at home, and the third girl, the fourth girl, and the frost will follow me." Go and pack your things, and stay on the mountain for a day. ”

Hearing this, Fang Shuangshuang responded: "Yes." Then I followed Mama Lu back to pack my things.

Shen Yuxiao heard this, and there was a loud bang in her head, and it really came!
