Chapter 134: Stupid
This time, even Zheng Junyan saw that something was wrong.
Cui Yu is very famous in the country. He is diligent in reading, extremely gifted, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, quotes scriptures and classics, and does very well in his articles, and is often praised by the Master.
However, Cui Yu is more famous for his "stupidity". As soon as he left the book, his tongue was not so sharp, and his reaction was not very fast. I was often teased by those noble children. He doesn't get angry, just laugh and laugh casually. Later, when he saw the person who teased him, he was still polite and polite. In this way, people are not embarrassed to always play tricks on him. Therefore, his popularity is also very good.
Unexpectedly, such a shy and somewhat wooden teenager would have a day staring at a young girl......
Zheng Junyan smiled secretly, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan a few times.
In the past, he never really paid attention to Ye Qinglan's appearance, only knew that she was a delicate girl. But now that I looked closely, I realized that this girl who was only twelve years old was really outstanding. The delicate and beautiful eyebrows, gentle and lovely temperament, and the calm and light breeze are all impressive. Although it is not as bright as Ye Qingning, it has a beautiful and refined charm. It is very pleasant to look at.
No wonder Cui Yu fell in love with her at first sight!
It's a little embarrassing to sit so dry all the time. Ye Qinglan, as the master, had to take on the important task of finding a topic to adjust the atmosphere: "Cousin Zheng, are you going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year?" ”
Zheng Junyan smiled and nodded: "Well, the autumn festival is in October, if you can pass the exam, you can participate in next year's spring festival." ”
The autumn examination in October is the township examination, and if you pass the examination, you will have the fame of raising people. The spring of the coming year is in March, and if you pass the spring exam, you will be a jinshi. Then there is the palace test, and the top three in the palace test are the top players in the list. With the fame of Jinshi, he was selected by the Ministry of Officials. You can serve as an official.
Autumn and spring only happen once every three years, and if you miss this time, you will have to wait for another three years. Therefore, all students are eagerly looking forward to the scientific examination.
In fact, even if he does not take the imperial examination, he can still enter the court as an official if he inherits the title in the future. Even if it is Cui Yu, he can take the path of Enyin, and it is not a problem to find a background. However, the more scholarly the family. Pay more attention to the education of children. Most aristocratic teenagers began to read and write at the age of five or six, and when they were eleven or twelve years old, they went to study in the national prison.
One mentions reading. Cui Yu suddenly spoke much smoother, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng is talented, and this year's autumn will definitely be high school." ”
Zheng Junyan hurriedly humbled himself: "Where, where, I am far worse than Brother Cui." With Brother Cui's talent, he will inevitably shine in this year's autumn. ”
The two of them are polite and polite. Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning, who listened, were secretly amused.
Cui Yu sighed suddenly: "Speaking of this, I think of Gu Sigongzi. At that time, he won three yuan in a row, and he won the champion at the age of sixteen. It's amazing! ”
At the mention of Gu Xinian, Ye Qingning's smile suddenly stiffened. Zheng Junyan probably thought of Gu Xiyu because of Gu Xinian, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qinglan was also very interested in this name, and did not pick up the stubble.
Cui Yu didn't notice the strangeness of the three people present. continued: "I have always admired Gu Gongzi's talent and learning, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet him. I met by chance on the street a few days ago and was fortunate enough to get acquainted with Gu Gongzi. ”
Zheng Junyan was calm. He smiled and asked, "This is really a coincidence, how did you meet on the street?" ”
Speaking of this, Cui Yu was a little surprised, and said with a red face: "I came out of the Guozijian that day and planned to go home. Accidentally bumped into a merchant halfway through. knocked over his load. The merchant asked me to pay him money, but unfortunately I forgot to bring my money bag. The merchant saw that I was wearing a jade pendant. He insisted that I accompany him with the jade pendant. That jade pendant was given by his mother, and it really couldn't be worth it to him. I discussed with the merchant, left my address, and I came to pay the money another day. But the merchant just didn't agree. Fortunately, Brother Gu Shi passed by and paid me two taels of silver. Otherwise, I really don't know how to end up......"
Zheng Junyan laughed when he heard it, and Ye Qingning was also very happy. This Cui Yu is really stupid. was stumped by a mere merchant. At that time, as long as the name of Cui Fu was reported, how could the merchant dare to make things difficult?
Ye Qinglan was also present at the time, so she naturally knew what a wolf Cui Yu was at that time, and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, Cui Yu actually looked at it at this time, his eyes shining: "It was a coincidence that day, and the tenth sister was also sitting in a sedan chair." Before leaving, he lifted the curtain and looked out. ”
He didn't have time to see the girl's face clearly, but those beautiful eyes that were as calm as water were firmly imprinted in his mind, lingering.
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan, her eyes were extremely ambiguous. It turned out that the two met like this for the first time!
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to explain with a smile: "That day was to go to Ciyun Temple, and I sat in the same sedan chair with Cousin Xiyu. Unfortunately, we were stopped by the crowd, so Cousin Gu came back to relieve us of the siege. I helped Brother Cui Shi. ”
At the mention of Ciyun Temple, Ye Qingning's smile suddenly faded, and his eyelids drooped.
When Zheng Junyan heard Gu Xiyu's name, his expression was also a little gloomy.
Cui Yu still didn't notice it, and said to himself: "The next day, I specially came to the door to thank you, Brother Gu Shi is really talented, few words, but it also benefited me a lot." After a pause, he blushed slightly and said, "I thought that the tenth sister was the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion, and I almost made a joke again." ”
The shy appearance of the young man's spring heart is really interesting.
Ye Qingning cheered up and said with a smile: "The tenth sister has been living in Zhengzhou before, no wonder you don't know each other." However, this time, the tenth sister will not leave again, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future! ”
The last sentence was full of hints, and Cui Yu suddenly became a little excited: "Really, really? ”
Ye Qingning held back a smile and replied seriously: "Of course it's true." As long as you're free, but it's okay to come. ”
Ye Qinglan hurriedly took over the conversation: "Sixth sister, don't laugh. Brother Cui Shige reads in the Guozi Prison every day, and has to prepare for this year's autumn scientific examination, where do you have time to come over often......"
"I'm free, I'm free." Cui Yu hurriedly continued: "Guozijian has a day off every half month, and I will definitely come to visit my tenth sister often in the future." ”
……
For the first time in her life, Ye Qinglan was choked and speechless. This Cui Yu really reads a lot of books. In terms of dealing with people, it's okay. Didn't you hear that she was politely refusing just now?
Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, and winked at Ye Qinglan. Good tenth sister, sixth sister, I have created such a good opportunity for you, you have to take advantage of it!
Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred. I don't know whether to be angry with Ye Qingning's self-assertion, or to be annoyed by Cui Yu's ignorance.
Zheng Junyan was very careful, and seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't have much joy, he vaguely guessed that she didn't like this topic very much, so he pulled the topic away with a smile. finally relieved Ye Qinglan's embarrassment a little.
As she was talking, Ying'er hurriedly ran over to report: "Miss, the troupe has started singing, and Mrs. has sent someone to ask you to go to the play together!" ”
Ye Qinglan happily agreed. If you stay like this, I really don't know what Cui Yu will say. It's better to hurry up and listen to the play. At least you can avoid Cui Yu first.
Cui Yu reluctantly got up. Once I got to the stage, I couldn't find such an opportunity to get along again......
Ye Qingning quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was quite interesting to tease Cui Yu, Zheng Junyan was also there, and she didn't have the courage to look at him for half a day. Of course, he didn't have the courage to look at himself.
A pair of cousins who were originally familiar with each other have now become so unfamiliar and embarrassing, which is really unexpected!
Ye Qinglan couldn't stop thinking about it, and couldn't help but glance at Zheng Junyan quietly. Unexpectedly, Zheng Junyan also secretly looked over. The two of them met their eyes.
It's like being caught as a thief, and it's both weak and embarrassing.
The two quickly looked away from each other.
Ye Qinglan took in the subtle actions of the two of them, and couldn't help but be secretly funny. After thinking about it, he laughed in a low voice: "Brother Cui Shi, can you walk slowly with me?" It can also be convenient for Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan to talk.
Cui Yu was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and really slowed down. A heart was pounding, almost popping out of its chest. Ye Qinglan actually took the initiative to open her mouth and asked him to walk slowly with her, does this mean that she also has a little bit of a good impression of him?
Ye Qinglan's eyes had already noticed Cui Yu's excitement and excitement, and she couldn't help but feel a little apologetic in her heart. Since you don't have that kind of heart for him, it's better not to let him misunderstand. It is really unkind to blow up a pool of spring water for no reason.
But how could she show her heart tactfully?
It's only the third time that the two have met. Cui Yu neither confessed nor excessively said and acted, even if she knew that Cui Yu liked her, it was hard to say anything!
Eh, the subtle euphemism of the ancients is really a headache. If it were in her era, when she met such a young boy, she only needed to say "I'm sorry I already have a boyfriend", and she could make the other party retreat. It's good now that I have fallen into such an embarrassing and inexplicable dilemma......
Cui Yu was both excited and nervous, and more panicked. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and he had the heart to say something to break the silence, but he couldn't think of what to say after holding it for a long time. The delicate and fair face is flushed, which makes people feel angry and funny, and can't help but feel a trace of pity.
Ye Qinglan glanced at him, and her heart softened a little.
Since she was a child, she has never lacked admirers around her. Handsome, humorous, handsome, hearty boys have seen a lot. But a young and innocent boy like Cui Yu is unique.
He was like a blank sheet of paper, with all his thoughts on his face.
