There is a spring forest in the east of the city, full of natural wild plants and trees, spring fang first vomit, a forest into the forest, into the eyes far and near, high and low tree branches huā tree, dotted with a piece of purple and red, in this fake and real scenery, the shadows are thick, the forest intermittently came to the daughter's house whispering, eating and laughing. ()

Yu Shu took Xue Jinxun's little hand, walked around the spring, looking for a suitable place to hang huā color, from time to time one or two girls who were in the middle of spring chased in front of them, paused, sneaked a glance at the figures behind them, and ran away shyly with a handkerchief.

Yu Shu turned his head to look at Xue Rui and Feng Zhaomiao, who were not far away or close to them, and they were also vulgar, and they wanted to take a few more looks, one was a heroic man, and the other was a young man, who came in spring, and the hidden dangers of Chapter 338 were not pleasing to the eye.

Wandering in the forest for a week, Feng Zhaomiao found a small hibiscus on the side of the road, and encouraged Xue Jinxun to hang the cut red huā paper on the branches, while Yu Shu took a fancy to a hunchbacked old elm, tiptoed to hang the five-colored silk sent by Xue Xiaomei, tied a dead knot, and bowed to the huā god with his palms together, regardless of whether the spirit was spiritual or not.

Xue Rui saw Yu Shu take out the finely woven colored rope, but he was a little surprised to look at his sister-in-law, this royal gift of Xia silk was specially given to her a while ago for today's use, only a wisp of six dollars light, I didn't expect her to transfer it to Yu Shu who only had one side.

"Okay, I see it's sunny today, why don't we go over to the Chunlan River and see the excitement?" Feng Zhaomiao saw that the two girls had begged to worship the god huā, so he proposed that there were too many girls in this forest, and he was a little uncomfortable and didn't want to wander around anymore.

Xue Rui saw that he was thinking carefully, and asked the two younger sisters with his eyes, Xue Jinxun naturally had no opinion, so he turned his head to look at Yu Shu.

Yu Shu didn't like to shake Feng Zhaomiao's interest, so he nodded and said yes.

So the group went out of the woods. Get on the car and get on the horse, and go up to the Chunlan River not far from here.

***

Yu Shu originally thought that today's day of hidden dangers in Chapter 338, there were no more people who came to see the Shuangyang Club than on the day when Long raised his head, who knew where he went. It's still crowded, and you don't look at the edges.

Before getting out of the car, Qing'er put on a short cloak for Xue Jinxun and covered it with a loose pocket, so as not to be looked at by the prodigal sons outside, and seeing that Yu Shu had nothing to cover his face, he cleverly pulled a champa from the bag and handed it to her.

Yu Shu shook his head and smiled, refusing to thank him. She is not a daughter, a Yike body, she is a person who has entered the world, she pays attention to "self-reliance", there is no need to hide it, and this face is not unsightly. ()

Xue Rui and Feng Zhaomiao led the horses to a tree and tied them up, left the coachman to take care of them, and took Yu Shu and them to the riverbank.

Yu Shu heard the sound of drums in the distance. Curiously asked: "Why isn't it the Huā Dynasty today, there are still so many people here, and they don't go to the suburbs to go for spring?" ”

Feng Zhaomiao tilted his face. smiled and said to her: "It's just today, don't you know that Taicheng Division has a list today, the nobles have made bets downstairs in Qiongyu, waiting for the top three to come out!" ”

Yu Shu was puzzled and looked at Xue Rui, who explained to her in detail: It turned out that before the start of the Shuangyang Meeting, several princes had already inquired about the candidates who were expected to be high school in each subject, and drew up a list. There are two seats to look at each other, at most three people will be left, and the name will be posted in Qiongyu Building to gamble, and on the day of the unveiling, there will be an official messenger to go to Taicheng Division to copy the list, and then to Qiongyu Building to make a notice. It depends on who has a unique eye and a good material, and can show his face in front of the one in the palace.

Yu Shu understood, isn't this just gambling, others bet on football and horses, but here they bet on people.

Feng Zhaomiao couldn't help but interject here, "Lianfang, you still don't know what to do, the little aunt that His Royal Highness Nine invited to the meeting, on the day of the release of the list in the third year of the junior high school, the three people in the photo were all on the list, and one of them was still among the top three, which made His Royal Highness the Ninth a big limelight!" ”

Yu Shu was surprised, "So powerful?" ”

Xue Rui's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Miss Shui Yun and Daozi are out of the same door, but they are the same as Longhu Mountain, and their means are extraordinary. ”

As a student of Taishi Academy, Feng Zhaomiao said with envy on her face: "But isn't it, I heard that she was on the Qiongyu Tower, making a mysterious black stick, and when she saw someone, she knew whether the Tao was good or bad, and whether she had a future." ”

Yu Shu touched his chin, and said in his heart that Jingchen had inherited Huaixian Zhenren's Hun Tian Divination Technique, and that Shui Yun's little junior sister was a personal disciple, so it was not surprising that there would be a thaumaturgy.

Thinking of this, Yu Shu couldn't help but remember her fateful mentor Qingzheng Daoren, and her mood was slightly sour, she also worshipped the master as a teacher, but she was only half-learned.

At this moment, a burst of cheers erupted in front of him, and someone shouted "Come on, come" The crowd suddenly surged in one direction, Yu Shu didn't know the situation, and tightened Xue Jinxun to prevent him from getting separated.

"What's going on?"

Feng Zhaomiao stood on tiptoe and said, "It's the person who reported the list, I'll take a look!" ”

After speaking, the monkey jumped out of the river in a hurry, but Xue Rui didn't move, still followed Yu Shu and his sister, avoided the crowd, walked to the river and stood under a willow tree, and said to them: "We are waiting for him here, there are many people in front, you two women, don't squeeze." ”

Yu Shu nodded, and when he saw that there was an artist pinching clay figures on the side, he and Xue Xiaomei stepped forward to choose, and they didn't care much about the situation on Qiong Yulou's side.

***

At dusk, on the return carriage, Yu Shu lay by the window, watching Feng Zhaomiao on a horse dancing and talking about what he saw in Qiongyulou during the day.

"The officials came back from copying the list book, and reported on the platform downstairs, there are a total of more than 60 people in the first department of feng shui, from the end of the list to the first one, the supervisors took a few famous posts in Qiongyu Building and compared them one by one, guess what!?"

Feng Zhaomiao raised his voice steeply, "Your Highness the Ninth Highness, there is actually a top list!" At that time, Qiongyulou exploded, and the top of the list happened to be outside the building, and he was invited to speak on the stage, because only His Royal Highness Nine hung his name post, and in accordance with the rules of the ancestors, he worshiped His Highness the Ninth Highness on the spot, and my eyes were red when I looked at several other nobles! ”

How can you not be red-eyed, Dayan tries every three years, and the status of the top of the six subjects is higher than that of the same hall, and he is determined to be the protégé of the current dynasty, no accident, it is a sure thing to enter and leave the Si Tianjian in the future, and he can take it for his own use openly. Isn't that a big bargain!

Yu Shu muttered, guessing that this eighty percent was the credit of Senior Sister Shui Yun, and had to admit that the little girl was indeed capable.

With a flash of inspiration, she thought of something else. The eyebrows suddenly smiled-

With Shui Yun's pearl and jade in front, Ji Xingxuan, who was following Liu Hao, wanted to stand out with this Shuangyang meeting, but he was afraid that his hopes would be disappointed.

Xue Rui rode on the side, although he had a smile on his face, there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

The group returned to the Wangji Building to settle down, but before the wine and food came up, Xue Rui left first. Before leaving, he asked Feng Zhaomiao to escort Yu Shu and Xue Xiaomei back later.

***

Before sunset, the Shuangyang Club on the Chunlan River dispersed, and the magnates went home, those who returned to their homes, and those who ate wine went to eat wine.

When night fell, in King Ning's mansion, there was a quiet "bang" on the corridor leading to the study. Frightened a few wild finches under the eaves.

"Rubbish!" Liu Hao narrowed his eyes, stepped on the fragments of the huā bottle under his feet, and glared angrily at the spy who was kneeling a few steps away: "I can't do a little thing well." After spending all these hours investigating, there is not even a top three candidate on it, so what's the use of raising you! ”

No wonder Liu Hao is angry, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if Ji Xingxuan's physiognomy is good, it is difficult to pick out a crane from a nest of chickens, so although he has a slight complaint about Ji Xingxuan, but the most annoying thing is a group of subordinates who are not good at doing things.

He had never taken Liu Tan's fake Taoist brother in his eyes, but these two times he was actually pushed sideways and overwhelmed. How can he not be angry!

The leader of the spies was in a cold sweat, and said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, there are really too many Yike who participated in the Dayan test this year, and the subordinates can't investigate them one by one, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, and I ask the prince for forgiveness." ”

"Dare to quibble!"

Seeing that Liu Hao grabbed the inkstone on the table and was about to throw it out. The middle-aged man standing on the side spoke out at the right time to persuade: "Your Highness is angry, and listen to me." ”

Liu Hao turned his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man, his face was much better, "Sir, please speak." ”

The middle-aged man muttered: "At today's Shuangyang meeting, it is not His Royal Highness who missed, looking at it, the other princes have not been able to do so, only the Nine Emperors are outstanding." According to this situation, it may not be without benefits. ”

Hearing what he said, Liu Hao's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the idle people in the study room to retreat, leaving only this strategist.

"Then according to Mr., can this game be solved?"

The middle-aged man took two steps forward, and offered advice in his ear, "My subordinates are brave, after today's limelight, the Nine Emperor Princes have already provoked the anger of the public, I am afraid that everyone wants to get rid of his arm, but in the wait-and-see period, he is afraid of provoking suspicion and does not dare to do it." Why don't Your Highness strike first, and then lead the troubles to the east?"

After whispering like this, Liu Hao's eyes flashed with cold light, the corners of his mouth gradually hooked, and after a little thought, he felt that this method was feasible, and he gave the strategist a look of approval, clapped his palms, and raised his voice: "Someone." ”

***

At the same time, in another place in the capital, Xue Rui found Liu Tan, the Nine Emperor Princes, in the annex, and Liu Yi, who was drinking alone under the moon in the Huā Garden Chief's Pavilion, saw him coming, and raised his glass with a smile and invited: "Cousin, come and have a drink with me, have you heard about Qiongyu's upstairs today?" ”

Xue Rui stepped into the pavilion and saw that his cousin, who had always been calm, was looking proud at this time, his face sank, and he said in the first place: "You are still in the mood to drink, but you know that others have calculated on your head." ”

Liu Tan was startled, immediately sobered up for three minutes, pondered for a moment, and asked: "What does my cousin mean, is my limelight too big today?" But didn't you tell me that this time Shuangyang would be a good time, if I could win three points of strength in front of my father, so that others would not dare to underestimate it, was it not good? ”

Xue Rui sighed secretly, and said in his heart that he had been in the mountains all the year round, and he had not had enough experience in the end, thinking of what his grandfather had told him in the study last night, he had expected today's scene to be eight points, looking at Liu Tan's confused face, shaking his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "The tree is a big move, with your situation today, you really shouldn't be too ostentatious, this matter should be slowly figured out." ”！！！
