The Peiren Hall in the south of the city is the place where the candidates from the thirteen provinces of the north and south gather, but those who hold the letter of recommendation of the Yi Shi in the city of Anling, and then pay a certain amount of money two, can move in, the Peiren Hall is open all day long, all because its accommodation is cheaper than the ordinary inn restaurant, often overcrowded in August every year, but this does not prevent the easy guest to come here to inquire about the wind during the day.

Yu Shu and Jingchen arrived at the Peiren Pavilion, it was already dark, and the two of them entered the hall one after the other, the vestibule was a two-storey tea room, which was full of people sitting on the ground, chatting about the arts, chatting, and the voice was not high, but it was buzzing and noisy, a few guys walked back and forth with tea trays, and the shopkeeper occasionally shouted.

"A few guest officers, there is a seat inside, please." Xiao Er took the time to greet Yu Shu and Jing Chen, who had just entered the door.

Yu Shu waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for someone, where is the guest room?" ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Yu Shu said: "Zhao Wen." ”

Xiao Er raised his head and thought about it, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction: "Then you walk through the hall, turn straight to the right, the second building on the east side should be the third room on the left downstairs." ”

Yu Shu was surprised: "The little second brother has a good memory, there are hundreds of guests in this Peiren Pavilion, can you remember them all?" ”

"Hehe, serve tea and food all day long, and you will be familiar when you see many noodles."

Yu Shu nodded, and went to the backyard with Jingchen to find someone, and as soon as she passed the hall, Jingchen asked her:

"Who is Zhao Wen?"

Yu Shu spread his hands: "I don't know what to do." ”

Jingchen was strange: "Then you are looking for him?" ”

Yu Shu said: "I just wanted to visit this backyard guest room, and I made a name." ”

Listening to the answer, Jing Chen's footsteps struck, "What if no one is named Zhao Wen?" ”

Yu Shuman didn't care and said: "Then find someone else, there are many people with the surname Zhao, if you don't call Zhao Wen, you will be called Zhao Wu, otherwise it will be Zhao Bin, you can always let me cover one." ”

didn't really go to find Zhao Wen, Yu Shu took Jing Chen directly to the second floor, knocked on the door of a room casually, took the excuse of inquiring with the same guest, glanced at the environment in the room with his eyes, and knew where the desk and bed were placed, and then knocked on two or three rooms in a row, confirmed the layout of the guest rooms here, and then went downstairs with Jing Chen, and walked around the downstairs again.

"Do you make this wall jump up with light features?"

Jingchen glanced at it and said, "Yes." ”

Yu Shu slapped his palms happily · That's it, let's go, find a place to have dinner first, and come back later. ”

The two left the Peiren Restaurant, found a nearby restaurant and ate oil cakes and hot noodle soup, and waited until the store was almost closed before leaving.

Halfway through, the sky was dark, there were no people on the street, occasionally a carriage hurriedly passed, Yu Shu and Jing Chen walked along the root of the wall to avoid the wind, and went around to the back wall of the outer perimeter of the Peiren Pavilion, it was pitch black, not the little moonlight in the sky, and even no one could see it.

Yu Shu raised her head and vigorously observed the exposed floors on the wall, pinpointing which windows were facing the desk and bed, she looked around for a while, carefully saw that no one had passed, and then took out a stack of carefully folded notes from her shoulder bag, handed it to Jing Chen, pointed to the wall, and whispered:

"You go up to the wall, you go to that end, and you start from that window, and you put this note through the crack in the window, one every two windows, and one in three windows downstairs, don't make any mistake."

Jingchen took the pile of slips, he had internal strength, he could see at night, he felt familiar at first glance, and asked her, "Did you ask me to write it that day?" ”

Not long ago, Yu Shu went home one day, saying that he had a way to get back Huang Shuangshi, so he wrote an anonymous letter, and then took an old piece of paper, and asked him to add another sentence on it, and copied more than 20 copies, but she didn't say what it was for.

"Hehe, that's it," Yu Shu urged: "Hurry up, I'll give you the wind below, be careful not to be seen." ”

This girl doesn't do good things, and she also brings bad Jingchen, instigating people to climb over the wall and pick up the window in the middle of the night, but fortunately Jingchen has always treated her as "kind-hearted", knowing that it is inappropriate for Lu Dao to do so, but she did not refuse her request.

"Wait for me below."

Yu Shu watched Jing Chen take a few steps back, and jumped up half a foot high, with a little wall on his feet, the whole person swayed up, the hem of his clothes floated, as if flying in the air, the movements were clean and beautiful, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the other side of the wall.

Seeing him easily climb over such a high wall, Yu Shu clenched his fist excitedly, thinking that Jingchen had recovered his memory, and he must ask him for advice, I wonder if she can still learn at such an age?

After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Jing Chen's figure appeared on the wall again, Yu Shu looked up at him and jumped down, and hurriedly asked in a low voice:

"Stuffed in?"

"Hmm."

Yu Shule patted him with his hand, "It's hard work, let's go, let's go home." ”

Next, just wait for the next day for these candidates to get up and find those strips that have been stuffed through the cracks in the windows, and then it will be fun.

In order to exchange for Huang Shuangshi before, she had written an anonymous letter to blackmail Ji Xingxuan, and deliberately vaguely revealed in the letter that she was this year's candidate, Ji Xingxuan must have gone back to discuss with the old lady of the Ji family, the Ji family must treat her as a candidate for this year's Dayan exam, and she will not leak this question for her own selfish tincture, so it is not surprising that counting her, Ji Xingxuan can still be in the top three of this astrological subject.

But they never imagined that she would be so alone that she would give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She asked Jingchen to copy many copies of Yunhua Yizi's test papers, and came to the Peiren Hall tonight to submit the papers, and in addition to the question, a paragraph was added, which indicated that this question was the exam question of this year's astrological subject, and threatened the candidates not to leak others, so as not to cause death.

But anyone with a normal mind, when they receive such a note, nine out of ten will not make a noise, believe it or not, whether this matter is really poked out, whether it is true or not, they will be implicated.

Yu Shu didn't worry that they wouldn't believe it for a while, and when he saw the paper during the exam, he wasn't afraid that no one would copy them, and Ji Xingxuan's top three, don't count on it.

As for whether the person who made the question in Si Tianjian will find out that the exam question is leaked, and whether he will pursue it, it is not something she has to consider, leave it to the Ji family to have a headache.

The next day, Yu Shu went to the Peiren Hall alone, pretending to be a house, asking the shopkeeper about the guest room, three or two sentences came out, I heard that several guests left the room early this morning, and the shopkeeper wondered what was wrong.

Yu Shu knew in his heart that the person who checked out must have received the note this morning, so he was afraid of causing extraneous branches, so he cleverly slipped away.

Yu Shu took it and sat in the tea room for a morning, not hearing anyone mention last night's incident, so he left with confidence.

Back at home, Jingchen was practicing swords in the courtyard, sweating slightly, carrying a rough wooden sword to open the door, Yu Shu saw it, his heart moved, and he called him into the house.

"Wait, I'll go in and get something."

Jingchen watched her enter the inner room, and when she came out after a while, there was an extra long sword in her hand, which was rusty.

"Here, I'll use this in the future," Yu Shu handed him the sword that was not light.

He took it with one hand, the sword spun in half a circle in his hand, raised it in front of him, his fingers rubbed over the little green marks on the sword body, he liked it in his heart, and looked up and said to Yu Shu:

"Borrow it from me?"

He remembered that she had said that they had met in Yiyang City because of this sword.

Yu Shu sat down opposite him, held his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "I gave it to you." ”

The imperial court strictly prohibits private weapons, the blacksmith shops on the market only sell hammers and kitchen knives, only the people in the rivers and lakes have a way to get the sword, and the money can't buy weapons, just she has such a ready-made, since the recovery of Zhilu Dao Jingchen's martial arts, she thought about giving him this sword, some time ago his hand injury did not heal, she was afraid that he would make it heavy, so she didn't give it to him, these days to see that he has no big problems in his hands, so he took it out.

Speaking of which, she was able to get to know Jingchen because of this "ancient sword", and she was able to get this sword with her hands, with half of Jingchen's credit, and now it is transferred to him, which is exactly what it deserves.

Jing Chen could vaguely perceive that this sword was not a vulgar thing, and when he saw Yu Shu opening his mouth to give it away, he shook his head and said:

"No, you can borrow it from me."

Yu Shu said: "Borrow something, I'll give it to you, I don't know martial arts, what do I want to do with the sword." ”

"I don't want it." Jing Chen put the long sword in his hand on the table, still shaking his head, he had already received too much from her, how could he be greedy again.

Seeing his repeated resignations, Yu Shu was displeased: "I said that I would send it to you, I was such a mother-in-law, if you don't accept it, then-then this will be returned to you!" ”

Yu Shu said, put his hand into the collar, flipped it over, pulled out a slender yellow ribbon, untied it and put it on the table, there was a small green sachet hanging on this ribbon, bulging up, and the sewing in it was the yellow frost stone that was lost not long ago.

When she came back from the Peiren Pavilion last night, she stayed up late and sewed a talisman, and got up the next day, originally planning to take Yu Xiaoxiu a few days to go to bad luck, but she got up late in the morning, and Yu Xiaoxiu left early, so she hung herself around her neck first.

Jingchen watched her take out the thing, knew what it was when he thought about it, thought for a moment, picked up the simple talisman of needlework, and handed it to her:

"Put it on."

Jing Chen knew that this yellow frost stone was called "Bad Luck Stone", literally it was known that it was a good luck and evil avoidance, he had been with Yu Shu for so long, it was obvious that her luck was not very good, and she was unlucky for three days, so he took it back that day, and he handed it over to her.

"Don't." Yu Shu put his arms in his hands and looked up at the roof, his face clearly unhappy.

Jing Chen smiled: "I took this sword." ”

Seeing him compromise, Yu Shu lowered his eyelids, smiled triumphantly, stretched out his fingers to hook the yellow frost in his palm, lowered his head and stayed on his neck, stuffed it into his collar, patted his chest, and said to Jing Chen:

"Then I will also accept it, when you remember, remember that this stone has other uses, and ask me when the time comes, I will return it to you."

Jing Chen picked up the rusty sword on the table, nodded at her, and made a promise without saying a word.

However, at this time, the two of them still didn't know what they exchanged and what they received.
