Chapter 331: Bad Fortune

After Yu Shu caught Qu Hai, he did not take the person home, but went to Huixing Street in the south of the city.

Speaking of which, the small courtyard of these three rooms is the first place for Yu Shu to settle down after entering Beijing, and later Xia Mingming returned to Xiajiang's house, Zhao Hui and his wife went to Beijing to look for someone, and their sister and brother moved to live, and this place was vacant.

The security in the south of the city is not as good as in the north of the city, and in broad daylight, I saw someone carrying a beggar walking on the street, but I was curious to look twice, and no good people came forward to ask.

Yu Shu walked in front to lead the way, and when he arrived at the door of the small courtyard, he reached into the crack under the threshold to pull out the spare key, unlocked the door, and motioned to the two subordinates he had just bought to bring Qu Hai in, and turned around to hang the door bolt.

There was no one to clean the small courtyard for a period of time, and a layer of dust accumulated inside and out, Yu Shu pushed the door into the hall, and asked them to throw people on the ground casually, touch the dust on the table, clap their hands, and walk back and forth in the house twice with their hands behind their backs, before stopping, turning their heads and facing the two suspicious people on the opposite side: "I didn't say it clearly in the courtyard, and the person in charge there must only tell you that I bought you back to use it as a nursing home, but in fact, this is not the case." You look at me, a young woman, going out alone, I must be suspicious, I might as well tell you, girl, I am an easy guest, I am a gentleman, and I am not bound by customs. I have used the money to buy you back, and if you want to keep a vigil at the door, it will be useless, and here is an errand for you, and if you have done a good job, I will take you as my subordinates in the future, and I may have to help you out of slavery in the future. ”

At this point, the two martial artists already showed consternation on their faces, and they didn't seem to believe it, but Yu Shu didn't want them to believe her promise for a while, just to bluff them into helping her do things first.

"Do you understand what I said?" Yu Shu asked again.

The two martial artists are not ignorant, one of them can look at the look, secretly pulled the other one, and stepped forward. Chong Yushu bowed his hand, bowed his head and said sincerely: "Since the little Zhou Hu is already a young lady, he will take the young lady's head and obey his orders." But on Miss's orders. ”

The other one is a little honest, but he is not stupid, seeing Zhou Hu's statement, he also hugged his fists angrily and said: "Villain Song Dali, as long as the young lady takes care of a mouthful of food, she will obey your orders." ”

Yu Shu could already roughly see their temperament from the few words and deeds of the two, so he was a little relieved. Nodding with satisfaction, he pointed to Qu Hai who was thrown on the ground and confessed: "This person has some old grudges with me, you stay in this courtyard for the time being, help me keep an eye on him, don't let people run away, there is some silver here, you take these days to eat and drink first, and wait for me to leave." Throw him in the water and wash him, change into clean clothes, and tie him up and look at it. ”

Yu Shu took out the largest piece of silver in the money bag and gave it to Zhou Hu, who looked smarter. After a few more trivial words, he left the key and left alone.

did not rush to interrogate Qu Hai because there were some things that had to be clarified before he could extract a confession.

Yu Shu left Huixing Street, went to the north of the city to find a big Yi restaurant, bought two things, and when he returned home, it was already dark, and he had a hasty dinner. So he asked the kidney beans to urge the kitchen to boil hot water, sent it into the house, bathed and changed clothes, put the small incense burner bought in the afternoon on the tea table, opened a small box of enamel porcelain, and took out a piece of ambergris. Tim burned in the furnace.

"Yi Za Shang Anthology" contains, burning ambergris incense, can help Yi Ke push divination, this is also the rich family of Yi Ke favorite supplemented by a method of divination, Yu Shu did not use it before, because one hundred taels of small boxes of incense is too expensive, can not afford to consume, but this time it is rare to discount.

Yesterday at the Shuangyang meeting glimpsed Ji Xingxuan's figure, today I bumped into Qu Hai who escaped from prison, Yu Shu was in peace, very suspicious of what kind of connection these two incidents had, after she came back from the princess's mansion to the banquet, she was worried that Liu Yi would find her trouble, so she took the six lines to her own divination, the hexagram has been uneven, the evil omen is faint, plus the reminder of the future, she is almost sure that with her unlucky physique, she is about to have a big disaster again.

It's a pity that her birthday is not accurate, the most handy law of disaster time can't be used by herself, and her qualifications are limited, so she can't see through the number of hexagrams, and every time she wants to calculate the details, she will throw empty hexagrams.

In order to eliminate disasters and ruin wealth, bathe and burn incense, prepare everything, and let the kidney beans stay outside the door so that no one will make noise, so she took out the three Tongbao she is accustomed to, sat at the table, closed her eyes, and recited a mantra of pure heart taught to her by Jingchen devoutly, and finally waited until her mind was clear and her heart was free of distractions, so she concentrated on asking about the matter, and threw the copper coin that was about to be hot in her hand on the silver plate, once or twice, and wrote the hexagram on the table with her fingers dipped in tea, until she had six full hexagrams, and a layer of fine sweat secreted from her forehead, before looking at the hexagram on the table, Showing a hint of joy -

It's done!

Not in vain her one hundred taels of silver, Yu Shu was secretly happy, knowing that it was not the time to be happy now, he quickly retracted his mind, and put all his attention on the hexagram that was condensed by water droplets and was about to disappear, and he had a vague feeling in his heart, holding a teacup in one hand and constantly dipping water in the other hand to write calculations, not that she didn't want to use paper and pencils, but that inspiration was fleeting, lest a turn of effort would not result in a breakthrough.

It took about an hour to burn the small box of ambergris, and Yu Shu finally came up with a clear sign.

She frowned, wiped her fingers twice in front of her, and with a body of incense, she got up and walked to the desk, thoughtfully researched the ink, dipped the pen and wrote on the paperβ€”

On February 13, avoid water and kill yourself.

***

The hexagram calculated yesterday kept Yu Shu awake all night, no wonder she couldn't be calm, there are few people in this world who can lie down on the bed and sleep in a down-to-earth manner knowing that they are about to suffer a catastrophe.

When eating breakfast, He Fangzhi was the first to see Yu Shu's strange appearance, and saw that Zhao Hui only moved two bites of the dish she picked up for her, and then observed her complexion, so she asked: "If you don't have an appetite, don't swallow, I'll show you later, see if it's food accumulation or anorexia." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hui hurriedly put down the chopsticks and stretched out her hand to touch the back of Yu Shu's hand, afraid that she was cold because the quilt was not covered last night.

Seeing the worried expressions of the two of them, Yu Shu pressed the irritability in his heart, and shook his head at them embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, I slept late last night, and I'm a little sleepy at this time, and I can't eat." ”

Zhao Hui was alarmed, patted her and said: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, go back and sleep for a while, didn't you say that Xue Gongzi found someone to go to see the list on your behalf, and then someone came, and then asked the girl to call you up, and then I asked the kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for you, put a few drops of rice vinegar, and you will have an appetite." ”

"Well, then I'll go back to the house first, and my father and mother will eat slowly."

Yu Shu took the opportunity to go back to the room, there was still a wisp of sweet fragrance in the bedroom, she asked Kidney Bean to open the front and rear windows for ventilation, and lay on the bed with her clothes, thinking of Qu Hai caught yesterday for a while, and thinking of the disaster on February 13 for a while, and slowly fell asleep.

It had been an hour since he was woken up, and the people sent by Xue Rui went to see the list, and turned back to Zhao Hui's house to tell him that Zhao Hui had the news and asked Yu Shu to wake up.

Yu Shu was woken up by the kidney beans, rubbed his face and sat up, and while putting on his shoes, he asked casually: "What do you say, did you pass this scientific examination?" ”

Dayan test six subjects, each subject has hundreds of people can enter the list, it is considered to be in the exam, can be tested in one subject is Mr. Yi Shi, can be registered in the Si Tianjian register, since then there is a correct name, if you are lucky to win two subjects, on the list, it is the Great Yi Division, you can eat the imperial court, and then there is the first person in each subject, there will be Si Tianjian Taicheng Si sent a special person to the house to celebrate, carry the sedan chair to receive the Taicheng Division unveiled, it can be described as infinite scenery.

However, the highest glory is not this, whoever has the power to get the first place in the three branches and occupy the top three, it is Yi Ziqiren, who will let Si Tianjian personally come to congratulate him, and the emperor will announce it to the palace and reuse, this is the real step to the sky.

It is conceivable that it is difficult for Da Yan to enter the list of every subject, so Yu Shu didn't think about it at all, she temporarily gnawed on the books for a few days, and was able to fight her way out of the encirclement from thousands of people in the subject of Yili that all the reference Yike must go through.

Sure enough, Kidney Bean was hesitant and didn't dare to say it directly, Yu Shu didn't embarrass her, smiled and put on her shoes and got out of bed, and went to the front yard to listen to the news.

Walking into the living room, Zhao Hui and He Fangzhi were both present, but they didn't see anyone who came to report the news, so they should have been sent away.

The husband and wife were whispering something, and when they saw Yu Shu coming in, they stopped.

"Xiaoyu, you come." Zhao Hui first raised her hand to call Yu Shu over, pulled her to sit down, patted her hand, and said softly: "Xue Gongzi sent someone just now, Tai Chengsi has already taken out the list, saying that there are only about 70 people in this subject, and you are not on the list, which is not strange." ”

Zhao Hui was afraid that Yu Shu would not be happy if she didn't pass the exam, so she cautiously told her, but Yu Shu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, I'm not in a hurry, I took a total of three subjects, and there are two more subjects in the back, my uncle said that my arithmetic must be on the list." ”

It's just a pity that the subject of arithmetic is not counted in the evaluation scope of the Great Yi Master, even if she also passes the thaumaturgy test, she is still only a Yi Master, and she can't be a Great Yi Master.

Zhao Hui saw that she didn't care, so she was relieved, and echoed with a smile, "Your godfather said, if you are admitted to a subject and become a female gentleman, I will set up a running water table in the courtyard for you for a day, and invite full guests." ”

When He Fangzhi saw the two of them laughing, he knew that Lu Dao was fine, so he said: "Your uncle said that he would also send someone to see it, I don't know if Lu Dao got the news, I sent someone to report to him, so as not to worry him." ”

It's also interesting to say, this family, the one who has the highest hopes for Yu Shu is not He Fangzhi and his wife, but Yu Shu's cheap uncle Pei Jing, if he doesn't always chatter, where would the two laymen of the couple be so clear about Da Yan. (To be continued.)
