Xia Mingming hid on the second floor of the teahouse, saw Yu Shu coax her fourth sister out, led Xia Jiangying to this side, hurriedly retracted the head that poked out, and sat upstairs like pins and needles.

Yu Shu stubbornly led Xia Jiangying and Ji Xingxuan into the teahouse, there were few guests on the second floor, as soon as Xia Jiangying entered the private room, she saw Xia Jiangmin sitting inside, and after a little thought, she knew that she had been deceived, and turned her head angrily to leave, Xia Mingming quickly got up to stop:

"Fourth sister, fourth sister, don't go, you listen to me, just say a few words?"

The two of them pulled in front of the door, Yu Shu took a step back outside the door, and Yu Guang glanced at Ji Xingxuan, who was also standing at the door and did not enter, and listened to the movement inside.

"Whatever you want, if you say those ridiculous dreams you have, then don't do it." Xia Jiangying said coldly.

"Okay, then let's talk about the incident when I lied to my father three years ago and said that I dreamed that you were in danger, don't be angry first, listen to me finish speaking, you left home and went to Beijing without listening to my explanation, and then I never found a chance to make it clear to you, and I will explain it to you today."

"Okay, you say, I'll listen to your quibbles today," Xia Jiangying turned her head and lifted the curtain, not forgetting that there were still people outside.

"Star Swirl, you go downstairs and wait for me, I'll go down later."

If the two sisters want to talk privately, it will inevitably involve the affairs of the clan, and it is not good for outsiders to hear about it, Xia Jiangying is older, even if she is angry, she is more thoughtful than Xia Mingming.

"Okay." Ji Xingxuan simply turned around and went downstairs to wait.

Xia Jiangying was not so polite to Yu Shu, and waved her hand impatiently: "It's none of your business here." ”

This is to treat Yu Shu as a trick to pass the word, Yu Shu is not annoyed, and says hello to Xia Mingming and leaves. When he reached the top of the stairs, he turned his head and looked, and saw that the curtain of the door of the private room had been pulled down from inside, and he could not hear a sound at all.

***

Yu Shu went downstairs, looked at Ji Xingxuan sitting in the corner, turned his footsteps, walked to the tea house a little away from her at the other end, and sat down with his back to her.

Ji Xingxuan also saw Yu Shu. Looking at her back, I felt that this person was familiar just now, she had a good memory, and it was impossible for the people she had seen not to be impressed, but carefully recall the people she knew. There are those who look similar, but to no avail.

She frowned suspiciously, took a sip of the teacup, and a pleasing touch of yellow appeared on her snow-white wrist, which disappeared in a flash and slipped into the cuffs.

When Yu Shu saw Ji Xingxuan today, she couldn't help but want to renew the personnel of Yiyang City, she had been away from Yiyang for almost four months. I don't know how Zhao Hui's life is, the merchant ship was in distress on the way, Bi Qing's two-faced and three-knife villain didn't know how to make up lies to confess to Pei Jing when he went back, thinking that she would say that she died at the hands of the bandits, Zhao Hui would definitely be sad.

There is also the Ji family, she ruined the reputation of the Ji family in the court that day, and Ji Xiaogu doesn't know how to deal with it later, whether anyone sent someone to find her. There is no embarrassment for Pei Jing.

It was still morning when he came, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was rising, and Yu Shu didn't see Xia Mingming going downstairs, and was about to go upstairs to take a look, when he saw someone coming down at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

Xia Mingming and Xia Jiangying walked downstairs one after the other, their eyes were red, and the corners of their eyes were damp. Obviously, Fang had just cried, Yu Shu observed slightly, and felt the change in the atmosphere between the two sisters, if he really wanted to say it, it seemed that he was incompatible with fire and water before.

Xia Jiangying's next move proved that Yu Shu's feeling was right.

"Star Swirl." Xia Jiangying led Xia Mingming to Ji Xingxuan's table, and actually guided the two sides and introduced to Xia Mingming:

"Minmin, this is Ji Xingxuan, the fourth lady of the Ji family in Yiyang City, and I took the same exam as Dayan in the same year, entered the Taishi Academy together, and made friends for me."

Because the sisters quarreled and were seen by each other, Xia Mingming was quite embarrassed and said, "Miss Ji, I was rude before, which made you laugh." ”

What kind of exquisite heart Ji Xingxuan is, seeing that their sisters are reconciled, her voice is spontaneous and gentle: "There is no need to see outside, Sister Ying and I are not outsiders." ”

"Yes, it's not an outsider," Xia Jiangying stepped forward to hold Ji Xingxuan's hand, pointed at Xia Mingming and said, "This is the fifth sister in my family, I mentioned it to you before, and our sisters had some misunderstandings at that time, which made you worry." ”

Ji Xingxuan chuckled: "It's good to make it clear if there is any misunderstanding," and said to Xia Mingming, "Your sister often told me that there is a sister in the family who is very similar to her in temperament. ”

Listening to this joke, Xia Mingming lowered his head shyly, and after a while, he raised it again, and said to Xia Jiangying:

"By the way, sister, I will introduce someone to meet you, and I rely on her all the way to Beijing."

Xia Mingming turned his head to look for Yu Shu, but there were three or five guests sitting downstairs in the teahouse, looking east and west, where was Yu Shu's figure.

"Eh, what about people? It's strange, I was still here just now, why did I disappear in a blink of an eye, where did I go? Xia Mingming wondered.

Ji Xingxuan's eyes fell on the place where Yu Shu was sitting before, seeing that there was only one teacup left there, there was a little strange in his heart, and he was about to ask, so he heard Xia Jiangying say:

"Minmin, I'll go back to the teacher in the library to make a good fortune for me, you go to the Fengyuan Inn on this street to stay first, I'll go to you when I'm done, and then we'll have a good talk."

Xia Jiangying took the silver bag she was carrying and gave it to Xia Mingming, pinched her hand and said, "Don't run around so I can't find you, ah?" ”

Xia Mingming nodded obediently, once the gap between the years was eliminated, she would have the appearance of being a younger sister.

After Xia Jiangying and Ji Xingxuan left, Yu Shucai walked out of the back corner of the stairs and patted Xia Mingming who was looking around at the door.

"Ah Shu! Where did you just go? I didn't even introduce you to my fourth sister. ”

"Go to the thatched house," Yu Shu looked at the door and pulled her to sit down in the corner again, "How is it, what did your fourth sister say?" ”

Xia Mingming showed a little smile on his face, and he saw a sunny day for the first time in the past few days:

"My fourth sister said that she would be careful these days, did you see the young lady who came with her?"

Of course, Yu Shu knew who Ji Xingxuan was, but he pretended not to know him in front of Xia Mingming and shook his head.

Xia Mingming said: "That's your Miss Ji Xingxuan of the Ji family in Yiyang City, my fourth sister is good with her, and I plan to talk to her." For the past two nights, she went to sleep in her room, and two more female guards kept vigil outside at night. ”

Yu Shu said: "She sleeps in someone's room, where is that Miss Ji?" ”

"The old lady of the Ji family is in Si Tianjian, and there is a mansion in Beijing, so Miss Ji will go home and live at that time."

Yu Shu was puzzled: "Oh? The Ji family has a house in Beijing, but your Xia Jiang family doesn't have it, why do you have to sleep in the library, knowing that something will happen. Isn't it safer to move out? ”

Xia Mingming said helplessly: "You don't know, our Xia Jiang family bears the name of the head of the south, and there is an endless stream of visitors every day in the annex in Beijing. The Great Yan Test is approaching. My fourth sister was busy preparing for the exam, and she couldn't wait to sleep on the stargazing platform, where would she move out. ”

"Taking the exam? Didn't your fourth sister take the Dayan exam? How can I take the test again? Yu Shu was suspicious, he had only heard that the person who fell into Sun Mountain would take the test again, why should the person on the list take the test again.

"Of course I have to take the exam, my fourth sister only got into three subjects of 100 yuan last time, and none of the top three failed, she can be a person who is a big Yi teacher." Xia Mingming raised his head and said.

Yu Shuzhi said that he asked another nonsense, and in the spirit of not shamelessly asking, he then asked: "Then according to this, no matter whether you have taken the test or not, as long as you want to take the test, you can always take the test?" ”

Xia Mingming smiled: "That's what I said, but the ability is there, it's usually rare to be promoted to the Great Yi Division, and then it's Yizi." It takes only a few decades to produce a character, how many people are beyond their means? ”

Yu Shu nodded, now I finally understood, it turned out that this big Yan exam was not only a qualification test, but also a promotion test. No wonder the Dayan exam is not easy to test, and there are even people from the Taishi Academy for reference, so it comes. Everyone is not on the same starting line from the beginning, and most of the top three in each subject should be occupied by the people of this Taishi Academy, and it is difficult to make a splash. It's too hard.

She remembered the ranking of the Dayan test, or Cao Zixin told her that among the subjects, except for the arithmetic subject, if a single subject can enter the top 100, it is Yi Shi, and the top three in two subjects are Da Yi Shi, as for Yi Zi, it is the head of the three subjects, so that it can be crowned.

"Ah Shu," Xia Mingming hesitated and said to Yu Shu: "The fourth sister wants me to live in the nearby Fengyuan Inn these days, and when someone from the family comes to pick me up, I also want to live closer to her, I'm afraid that there will be a case." ”

"Huh?" Yu Shu smiled: "Why do I see that you two sisters are ice release suspicions, aren't you still disgusted with itchy teeth before?" ”

Xia Mingming twisted the hair behind his ears, bowed his head and said: "Actually, my fourth sister is not bad, she is just as straightforward and fast-talking as me, and her temperament is a little stubborn, we just talked a lot upstairs, it is reconciled, yes, don't laugh at me." ”

"What am I laughing at you," Yu Shu patted her arm, "Isn't that great, since she wants you to live nearby, do you want to go back with me to pack your bags first." ”

Yu Shu didn't know what the two sisters were talking about upstairs, but they were happy to see that the matter was resolved smoothly and sent Xia Mingming home as soon as possible.

Xia Mingming saw that she didn't hold back, and pouted: "You are in such a hurry to let me go." ”

Yu Shu coaxed her: "What's the matter, you have to take at least two changes of clothes." ”

"Or, why don't you stay with me at the inn for two days? When my fourth sister's incident passes safely, I will go back to Huixing Street with you. Xia Mingming was reluctant to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu refused without thinking about it: "I still have something to do, besides, your sisters are catching up, it's inconvenient for me to be on the side, oh, by the way, you didn't mention my matter to your fourth sister upstairs just now, right?" ”

Xia Mingming shook his head: "I didn't have time to say, I wanted to introduce you just now, but I didn't see your person." ”

"That's just right," Yu Shu cautiously told her: "If she asks about you, just say that you only know that my name is 'Ah Shu', and don't mention anything else, including the things I taught you the six masters." ”

Xia Mingming's fourth sister Xia Jiangying and Ji Xingxuan are good friends, and if they really hear about themselves, most of them will reach the ears of the Ji family, and after a little guessing, they will know who she is.

Xia Mingming was about to ask her why, but when she thought of Jing Chen at home, Yu Shu didn't want to reveal too much because of Jing Chen's identity, so she said depressedly:

"Ah, then I can't tell my family anything, you saved my life and escorted me all the way, and I still want to repay you."

Yu Shu waved his hand generously:

"You don't need to repay me, just remember to pay me back when the time comes." (
