Chapter 432: Yu Operator's Lotus Room
Chapter 432 Yu Operator No. Lotus Room
Yu Shu didn't know what to say, just when she was half asleep, Xue Rui, who was in the Wangji Building, was rejoicing because of a false alarm today.
In the afternoon, he went to the Dali Temple Prison as usual to inquire about the prisoners, passing by the torture room, just in time to catch up with the whipping of a male prisoner, he suddenly remembered that Yu Shu reminded him yesterday to keep him away from those sharp swords, so he was tempted, so he didn't stop long, who knew that after he walked a few steps through the torture room, he turned his head and saw a thrilling scene-
A sharp iron hook flew out of the door, straight through the place where he had just stood, and the next moment smashed into the shelf that extended on the opposite wall, knocked over the brazier placed on the shelf, and splashed the ground with the boiling oil of sparks, making a "whoosh" sound, and the ground was burned black.
Xue Rui's face at that time was not to mention how ugly it was, it was conceivable that if he hadn't walked a few steps faster just now, then the iron hook would have scraped on him mercilessly, even if he was lucky enough to dodge, he would have to be splashed with a few holes in his body by the brazier that fell from the wall.
The cell boss in the torture room hurriedly ran out, and when he saw Xue Rui's face, he almost knelt down to plead guilty, it turned out that he was tortured, the whip was crooked, and it didn't hit the prisoner, and the barb roll on the whip was brought to the iron hook torture instrument hanging on the side, and it was thrown out directly.
Xue Rui was in danger, so he didn't blame him too much. However, when he returned to the Wangji Building, he was afraid and suspicious for a whileβnot because of Yu Shu's precise foresight, but because before this, no news was sent to him from the house.
You must know that their Xue family supports more than a few Yi masters who know how to feng shui, and there is also a big Yi master who lives in the ancestral house in the past two lists and three top three, year and year, will be a few relatives in the Xue family to calculate thoroughly, Xue Rui, the eldest son and grandson, is naturally among them, every once in a while, there will be someone to send a secret letter, where natural disasters **, there are instructions, and there is no empty.
So Xue Rui has always been smooth sailing since he was a child, even if there is a disaster, he has spent it without danger, like today's obvious blood-light disaster, the one in the ancestral house did not move at all, but it was a casual reminder from Yu Shu, which was right in the middle of his words, and had to make Xue Rui think deeply.
Being in a noble family, Xue Rui was raised by Xue Lingnan when he was a child, and his grandfather was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he accompanied the king like a tiger. Under the teaching of words and deeds, he will be cautious, and he will also extend the slightest details.
Maybe today was just an accident, maybe he was suspicious, but no matter what, this reminded Xue Rui that the one in the ancestral house was reliable in the past, but in the future, it may not be necessary.
"Son, it's late at night, do you want to rest after supper, or wash first?" Guiqi's voice came in from outside the door.
Xue Rui gathered his thoughts and said, "I went to bed earlier today." β
Yu Shu sent someone to the Wangji Building to send a message, saying that he would not come back tonight, and he didn't want to stay up late, so it was better to rest early and see her tomorrow before saying anything else.
This next day is twenty-five, every five, seven, nine, there will be Fang Zijing's lectures, even if Yu Shu is not greedy for the word measurement thaumaturgy he promised before, she must arrive, she wants to inquire about the news of the Holy Ancestor's sacrifice day.
Today's class is still the morning, Yu Shu entered the gate of the Taishi Academy, and went directly to the direction of the chess hall, thaumaturgy first originated from the four arts, Fang Zijing led them to the first entrance, the piano, calligraphy, and painting have been told, just this one "chess" word, did not finish.
Chess pieces are going to be used in today's class, Yu Shu made people forget to go back to the machine building last night to pick it up, heavy in the bookcase, on the shoulder, walking in the library of birds and flowers, smelling the fresh air, and having a scholar's ambition, it is really a bit comfortable for scholars to read in the morning.
Yu Shu entered the chess hall and looked at the surrounding environment first, only to see that there were many wooden and yellow old square benches in the room, about 20 sets, some students in regular clothes sat down in it, fiddling with the chess pieces they brought, and some one or two people still had chess games in their hands.
The chess pieces used by these students here are different, some are washed by Yuhua stone, some are carved from wood, and the most valuable should be a set of crystal and lovely green jade stones, the owner is the granddaughter of Fang Zijing, Situ Qinglan.
Yu Shu saw that there was an empty seat on her right, and after thinking about it, she walked over to say hello, "Miss Situ." β
Situ Qinglan turned her head and saw that it was her, and a smile appeared on her quiet face, "Miss Yu is early." β
Yu Shu sat down beside her, glanced at the scroll she was holding in her hand, vaguely distinguished the word "chess spirit" on the cover, and with a flash of memory, he did not shy away from asking:
"Are you reading the Chess Spirit Sutra?"
Situ Qinglan nodded generously, and then asked rhetorically, "Miss Yu has also read this volume?" β
Yu Shu shook his head, laughing secretly in his heart, and remembered that she was found by Ji Xingxuan earlier, took out a few so-called "treasures", and wanted to exchange them with her for the Six Masters of Absolute Learning, including this "Chess Spirit Sutra".
Fortunately, she was shrewd and didn't be fooled, otherwise she wouldn't have been fooled by Ji Xingxuan as a second fool.
Situ Qinglan saw Yu Shu's eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she thought, because of Fang Zijing's guidance behind her back, she had the heart to make friends with the female operator in front of her, who had become famous recently, so she took the initiative to hand her the scroll in her hand and said:
"This "Chess Spirit Sutra" is divided into three volumes, it is the collection of my grandfather, I only learned it half a year ago, if you are interested, you may wish to study it with me."
Yu Shu felt that Situ Qinglan was courting her more than once, thinking that this might be what Fang Zijing meant, and after thinking about it, she took it casually, turned two pages casually, and sighed deliberately:
"It's good to study together, I'm afraid that I'm slow to learn and drag you back, don't regret it when the time comes."
Situ Qinglan's eyes rolled, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Where will it be, don't you know that I am doing research alone, often lonely, and I can have someone as a companion to discuss the length and disposition with me, and it is too late for me to be happy." β
Yu Shuxin said bluntly: "How can you learn alone, don't you have sisters of the same age at home?" β
Although the population of the Yi Xue family is not prosperous, most of the children in the clan want to learn Yi, and the Fang family, as one of the twelve families in the capital, should have many children.
Situ Qinglan's smile darkened, her white fingers rubbed her cuffs, and she said softly: "My mother died when I was eight years old, and my father sent me to the Fang family in the capital at that time. β
Yu Shu looked at her with a gloomy face, and it was not difficult to hear the bitterness in her words, only then did she know that Situ Qinglan might not be better off in the Fang family, thinking about it, a cousin girl with a foreign surname, but she was personally taught by Old Man Fang, and she could also enter the Taishi Academy to study, the children of the Fang family, where to be convinced, must be to exclude her.
Yu Shu consciously poked at other people's sad things, and was a little weak-hearted, so he thought about diverting the topic, so he said heartily:
"Then let's talk about it, you borrow my book to read, and I will be your companion. But in the end, I take advantage, it's better to do this, when I finish today's lecture, I'll do it at noon, please have a good meal, you don't shirk. β
Situ Qinglan heard the closeness in Yu Shu's words, swept away the previous melancholy, and agreed very happily.
After a while, there were more people, and Yu Shu heard the discussion around him about the matter of Fang Zijing's word test, and everyone was surprised, and many people had already fulfilled it.
Yu Shu didn't interject, because her operator seal hadn't been sent to her hand yet. And according to Fang Zijing's divination a few days ago, Si Tianjian should have made the seal a long time ago
After class, Yu Shu was cleaning up the scattered chess pieces on the table, when she heard Fang Zi call her: "Yu Shuanzi come here." β
The chess hall was quiet, and the students turned their heads to look at Yu Shu, and they couldn't help but be angry, thinking that Fang Zijing was going to tell her to do something again.
Yu Shu was afraid that the old man would let her run errands to deliver things to someone, so she was reluctant for a while, but she still stepped forward expressionlessly.
"Academician."
"Take it." Fang Zijing handed her a square inch-sized sandalwood box that he had brought to class today.
"Where?" Yu Shu reluctantly took it.
"What to send or not, this is your private seal," Fang Zijing didn't know her careful thoughts, and said lightly: "A few days ago, Si Tianjian sent someone to send Taishi Library, but because he couldn't find you, he put it here with the old man." β
Yu Shu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, thanked Fang Zijing for keeping it on his behalf, and opened the box in front of him, and when he saw the objects inside, his eyes lit up-
This is the ivory embryo she personally selected, the size is less than the length of the finger, the square is an inch, the thickness is five or six points, the symmetrical six-sided surface, the polished luster is smooth, the whole body is fine milky white, the most wonderful is the nose button, it is carved into a hundred holes of the lotus pod, delicate and lovely, full of mood.
Pinched in the hand, smooth and delicate, the seal body is engraved with a line of small characters, is said "a certain year made in Si Tianjian". Looking at the reverse character seal carving at the bottom, it is the nickname of "Yu's Lotus Room" that she left behind on a whim in the Printing Bureau that day.
If Xue Rui gave her the word "lotus room", she was also agreeable, so she didn't choose another one, as for her selection of this as a serious operator number, she subconsciously did not mention it to Xue Rui.
Fang Zijing had obviously seen her seal before, and kindly told her:
"This piece of beast jade is indeed a rare good thing, it can be carried close to you during the day, and it can drive away nightmares at night, you are so good to keep it, don't lose it, and don't abuse it."
It seems that after the ivory, wolf tooth and other fierce things are dissolved, it has the reputation of "beast jade", Yu Shu's piece of seal embryo, it is said to be taken out of the mouth of an elephant king, it is indeed a well-deserved "beast jade".
Yu Shu agreed, happily took it into his arms, and bowed his head to Fang Zi: "The academician is worthy of his name, and the students admire it." β
This refers to Fang Zi's respect for the backtest of the word.
Fang Zijing snorted, waved her hand to signal that she could go, and then watched Yu Shu tidy up her belongings and leave with Situ Qinglan, only then did she smile a little. (To be continued.)
