Chapter 469: Mutual Exploration
Yu Shu sent Mrs. Hu away, turned around and took the thank you gift she sent into the room, and went out happily.
With a hundred-year-old peach root, there is a door for the things she wanted to give Xue Rui before.
Today was Fang Zijing's morning class, Yu Shu was a little late, and slipped into Xu Shui Hall through the back door.
Fang Zijing was wearing a wide and ill-fitting robe as usual today, his thin body was sunk in a wide Taishi chair, and his left hand on the desk was playing with a slender life stick, and he was explaining a piece of Qimen's technique, drooping his loose eyelids, as if he didn't see Yu Shu being late.
Situ Qinglan saw Yu Shu, squeezed her eyes at her, and motioned to the vacant seat left for her by her side.
Yu Shu hurriedly sat down with his waist bent.
"Did you bring the book?" Situ Qinglan asked in a low voice.
Yu Shu nodded, put down the bookcase on his shoulder, took out a volume of "The Complete Records of the Qimen Dunjia Tongzong", listened carefully to what Fang Zijing said, and turned to a certain page.
"Yikes."
A light sound sounded next to her, Yu Shu turned her head and saw Situ Qinglan staring at her wrist in surprise, and looked down, it turned out that the sleeves of her dress slipped up when she just picked up the book, revealing the bracelet she was wearing on her left wrist, and a layer of brilliant brilliance flowed on the transparent citrine beads, as if a ball of morning light lit up half of her wrist, no wonder it attracted Situ Qinglan's side eyes.
Situ Qinglan felt out of shape, quickly moved her eyes, and smiled apologetically at Yu Shu, who also smiled, and quietly lowered her sleeves to cover the ball on her hand.
It wasn't until the morning class that Situ Qinglan couldn't help but grab Yu Shu, and asked curiously and curiously: "What are you wearing on your hand, it's so beautiful." ”
Yu Shu generously raised his hand to show her and said, "It's a crystal stone." ”
"Water spirits?" Situ Qinglan held her hand. After a careful look, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it." ”
Situ Qinglan has been raised under the knees of Da Yi Shi Fang Zijing since she was a child, and her vision is not small, how many mundane things have been seen, but the water spirit in her impression, no matter how smooth the polishing is, it is the appearance of ordinary gemstones, how can the string on Yu Shu's hand look delicate, and each one of them seems to be dyed with water.
Yu Shu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not like it, you said it's a water spirit." The essence of the essence, I'm talking about the ice crystal. ”
So saying, he took down the string of citrine and handed it to her, not afraid that she would see any heresy. Sometimes it's better to be secretive than to be open, anyway, she ate the first bite of crab.
Situ Qinglan held the string of spars, keenly aware of the coldness coming from the palm of her hand, shook it gently, and couldn't help but praise:
"Good things, where did you buy them, I haven't seen anyone wear them."
Yu Shu hooked the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "This is the first string in the entire Anling City, and it is in my hand." Of course you haven't seen anyone wear it. ”
It's not that she loves the present, if she wants to make a fortune with this thing in the future, she has to advertise a dozen first, according to her observation, Situ Qinglan is an eight-sided and exquisite character in the Taishi Academy. The news is exquisite, and I love to inquire, and my words just now may reach the ears of many people tomorrow.
Really. Hearing Yu Shu's tone, Situ Qinglan was surprised again, only to feel that the bead chain in her hand was a little heavier, and she hurriedly handed it back to Yu Shu, watching her put it on her wrist again, and said with some envy:
"I do have a cold sun bracelet, which is cold for a long time in the summer, but it is not as beautiful as your crystal stone."
The girl's family rarely has resistance to shiny jewelry, and Situ Qinglan is no exception, but it is a pity that she sends people under the fence, and she has no worries about food and clothing, but she does not have much private money.
Yu Shu is also a little clear about Situ Qinglan's life experience, and when she saw her eyes falling, she was a little unhappy, and said that when she went to Old Man Xu to get the finished product this time, she would pick a good-looking pendant and give it to her.
Because they wanted to go back to the women's house to get books, the two went out together, Yu Shu lived in the east courtyard, Situ Qinglan lived in the middle courtyard, and said goodbye and separated when they entered the women's house.
Yu Shu stood at the door of the room, stared at the locked door next to him on the right hand side for a while, and then shook his head and entered the room.
She checked the doors and windows before opening them to let her breathe, and then walked around the room looking for nothing too much and nothing less.
"Lotus room?" There was a knock on the door outside, but it was Situ Qinglan who put down the book and came over.
Yu Shu invited her in, and Situ Qinglan put the tea tray in her hand on the empty table.
"Zhilu said that you didn't come back much, there must be a shortage of tea in the room, this is the incense piece I made in the morning, soaked in flower dew and rock sugar, I don't dislike it, just drink it."
Yu Shu thanked him, picked up an empty cup and poured himself a drink, and praised: "It's delicious, I prefer this sweet tea, I also have a few fragrant tablets there, it tastes good, I'll bring you some when I come back." ”
Xue Rui found out that she didn't like to drink bitter tea, so he packed and sent her some newly made flower tea and fruit tea from time to time, and the day before yesterday, he also sent Lao Cui to send a pot of flowers, carrying a box of magnolia slices, and she didn't have time to try it yet.
Situ Qinglan smiled and said: "The two of us have a taste, which can make you boast, it must be delicious, I'll wait, don't forget to bring it to me." ”
Yu Shu nodded.
Situ Qinglan first said a few gossips, and then they chatted and chatted, and then talked about the ancestor worship ceremony.
"I heard that the six you went there made trouble the day before the Holy Ancestor's Festival, don't you care?" Situ Qinglan asked with concern.
Yu Shu glanced at her with a smile and said, "If you want to inquire about the truth, just ask directly, don't bend around with me." ”
When she said it, Situ Qinglan's face was slightly red, "I'm a little curious, just talk about it." ”
"It's a bit of a mess, Zhan Xueyuan, do you recognize it? It's her, the family heirloom what Tianyu lost, and it came to my head, and a judge came forward after the last one and asked about the matter, it turned out to be the young lady of the Cui family, named Cui Yun, who stole Zhan Xueyuan's stone, saying that she accidentally fell into the lake, and she was afraid that people would blame her. ”
In the matter of Huazhenyuan, Lord Wang said that when the ancestors came back, they would report to Si Tianjian. Yu Shu didn't know if he reported it after he came back, but she hadn't heard the news in the library recently, so she must have been hidden by Zhan Xueyuan and Cui Yun, so it was no wonder that Situ Qinglan asked her.
Yu Shu didn't say it carefully, he didn't even mention Xue Rui's name, he talked about it roughly, and he didn't mention that Zhan Cui and the others owed her the ten slaps.
After hearing this, Situ Qinglan frowned, and said: "It's really nonsense, fortunately it didn't get big, otherwise the big thing would have been delayed, and the saint would have blamed it, and this future would not be ruined." ”
Yu Shu showed a wry smile on his face and said, "It's just that you asked, I just said, you see that the ancestor has come back these days, and I haven't seen anything from Si Tianjian, probably it's over." ”
Situ Qinglan sighed, thinking that this matter was about to be revealed, and when she saw Yu Shu smiling bitterly, she couldn't help but say comfort:
"This Zhan family has a very good foundation in Jiangxi, it is taboo to say, even the local Yamen military government has to rely on their snort, let me tell you quietly, this young lady of the Zhan family went to Beijing to study, eighty percent of them are going to marry with which high-ranking officials and nobles, and the incident in Huazhenyuan will be spread to the top, naturally someone will help her to press it down, but it is good to ask clearly that you did not steal her life, otherwise I am afraid that you can only suffer a dumb loss."
Hearing these news, Yu Shu's eyes flashed, he was quiet for a moment, and then said: "Zhan Xueyuan, that Cui Yun, what is the dependence, didn't you say that a young lady of the Cui family was arrogant when she was in Huazhenyuan." ”
Situ Qinglan looked at her face and chuckled: "Cui Yun is nothing, but she has a sister, her name is Cui Xin, one year younger than me, she has had a chance since she was a child, she was recognized as a goddaughter by Princess Xiang, and she was raised with the county lord of Xiwen for two years. ”
Yu Shu narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart: She just said, then Cui Yun has no grievances with her, why do you have to carefully design her, it turns out that there is still this relationship.
The good Lord of Xiwen turned out to be here.
Situ Qinglan saw that Yu Shu didn't speak, thinking that she was uncomfortable, so she thoughtfully told her:
"Lianfang, be relieved, tell you a good thing - listen to my grandfather's tone, several vacancies left by Si Tianjian at the beginning of the year are being filled. Among them, there are two positions for female officials, Tai Chengsi has a position of Seven Rank Chan Ji, to be selected in the Taishi Academy, you are a female operator who has been born in ten years, and I can't say that this time I will be able to enter the office in advance. ”
Yu Shu This is the second time she heard Situ Qinglan tell her "good things", last time she was the ancestor worship ceremony, this girl told her that she was chosen, but she was brushed down again in Rongshengtang.
Disappreciating it in his heart, Yu Shu was still curious: "Didn't you say that there are two seats?" What else is there? ”
Situ Qinglan pursed her lips and said: "I don't dare to think about another position, the female queen of the Kunling Bureau, the square and upright Wupin, the marriage book and the destiny sign between the scholars and the clan, such an important position, like a sweet and sweet, are all promoted from the official of Si Tianjian, and no matter how it is, it will not be our turn to pick and choose from the Taishi Academy." ”
Yu Shu didn't care either, smiled and passed his ears, and talked to Situ Qinglan for a few more words before sending the person out.
She didn't stay in the Taishi Academy, packed up her things and left, pinched the hour and went out of the gate, and saw that the carriage under the south wall was already there.
"Liu Zhong," Yu Shu looked at the sweat on his groom's shoulders, and scolded lightly: "Didn't you let you spend half an hour at night, such a hot day." ”
Liu Zhonghan said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the girl will wait too much, get in the car quickly, I have prepared herbal tea for you." ”
"Come back on time next time." Yu Shu muttered another sentence to this man before climbing into the carriage.
"Is the girl going home or where?"
"Go to the house of Master Xu who worked as a jade worker last time." She had to go and see how old man Xu carved a few more things, and first take two good ones back to raise, so as not to delay her in giving them away. (To be continued.) )
