Chapter 441 Eighteen Academicians Gather

On the fourth watch, there was a quiet place in the Wangji Building, Yu Shu was half-leaning on the ebony couch in the living room with his clothes draped, bent his knees and placed a hardwood board, padd with paper, and could write and draw with a willow charcoal pen.

"Girl, it's late at night, the slave and maid make the bed, you can rest, and it will be dawn if you stay up again." Xiaoqing took off the lampshade, replaced it with a candle, and leaned over to persuade Yu Shu.

Yu Shu raised his head from the lines that had been scribbled on the paper, rubbed his sour eyes with the back of his hand, and said tiredly:

"Hasn't my eldest brother come back yet?"

"No," Xiaoqing said, "Why don't you lie on the bed first, and when the princess returns, the slave and maid will call you up." ”

Yu Shu yawned, nodded, put away the books, paper and pen in hand, put them in the dark compartment of the study, and then went back to the bedroom through the door, undressed and lay down, in the middle of the night, it was not as hot as in the evening, she closed her eyes, but after a while, the sound of breathing was stable.

Just when Yu Shu fell asleep, Xue Rui came back from King Ning's Mansion for a long time, entered the backyard door, and looked upstairs first, I don't know if Yu Shu is asleep, so I asked Ah Xiang, who was on duty in the backyard tonight:

"What time are the lights out upstairs?"

"I saw Fluttershy go downstairs and pour water."

Xue Rui was afraid that Yu Shu had already lay down, and if he went upstairs again, he would make a noise to her, so he asked Ah Xiang to find the maid who served Yu Shu to question, and learned that Yu Shu had waited for him for half the night and had just fallen asleep, so he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"The girl said, when the princess comes back and calls her up, do you want the slave to go upstairs to wake her up?" Xiaoqing asked Xue Rui.

Xue Rui stopped without thinking about it, rubbed his forehead and said, "No, just let her rest." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid retreated."

Xue Rui went back and forth all night, and after a simple wash, he lay in bed with his clothes, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawn, and he took a quick rest for an hour, and when it was daytime, he had to enter the palace to face the saint.

The next day, the sky was white, Yu Shu woke up, got up and saw the sun outside the window, his face was a little bad, and he called Fluttershy who sprinkled water outside to ask, only to know that Xue Rui would come back at dawn, and he would go out again in the morning.

"Don't wake me up." Yu Shu said unhappily.

Fluttershy hesitated and glanced back at the door, where Xiao Qing walked in with morning tea, and when she saw Yu Shu's face, she understood it when she thought about it, so she stepped forward to confess:

"It's all the slave and maid who are not good, when the son comes back, he calls to ask, and the slave and maid are about to say that the girl is asleep, and the son will not allow us to quarrel with you."

Yu Shu just got up angry, but he didn't take the two maids to attack, he didn't pursue it anymore when he heard the words, waved his hand and asked them to wash with water, change into single clothes, because it was hot, only put on a ginger half-sleeve outside, tied a ribbon satin around his waist, hung a purse with an operator seal and a door key, had no appetite for breakfast, drank half a bowl of red bean porridge, and went out in a hurry.

Two days ago, Zijing informed her that she was selected to accompany her on the Holy Ancestor Sacrifice Day, and asked her to go to the Taishi Academy at two o'clock today.

She slept late last night, sat in the car, swayed and inevitably dizzy, and pressed the corners of her eyebrows with the beast jade seal all the way before she gradually woke up.

Located at the end of the south gate of the library, the Rongsheng Hall is the place where the academicians usually gather for small meetings, and today it is rare for eighteen academicians to work together, and the morning class was suspended for a day, and there were a lot of students scattered in the courtyard to see the lively students.

In the hall door, the east, west and north three sides are seated, a total of eighteen chairs, the academicians of the six disciplines are all present, no one is absent, at a glance, half of them are the old people with white hair, but there is no lack of women with flowers and moon appearances, the same description of the handsome young people, but without exception, are all in the easy to learn extraordinary, worthy of the name of everyone.

There were four or five young students standing inside the door, both men and women, all of them were dignified, several of them were wearing two-color regular clothes, and their faces looked more or less immature, and they all seemed to be new to this year.

"It's been a quarter of a moment, haven't the people arrived yet?" The senior academician of the first department of arithmetic looked out of the door a little impatiently, and glanced at the five students standing below, and there was obviously one less.

As soon as he opened his mouth, someone chimed in: "Which colleagues didn't get the candidates?" And say, don't make us wait. ”

Fang Zijing, who was flipping through a chess book, lifted his eyelids and said casually: "Maybe there is something delayed on the way here, wait for a quarter and a half, what's the matter." ”

Academician Gao said in a strange manner: "It seems that Academician Fang and Gao are late, for a moment and a half, what you said is light, such unpunctual juniors, brought to the Holy Ancestor Sacrifice Day, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be bad, if something goes wrong, will you bear it at that time?" ”

"Hehe, this early in the morning, where did Academician Gao get his anger, I see that the bridge of your nose is black, but be careful that you will provoke your tongue today," with a coquettish smile, a gorgeous woman sitting at the lower end of Fang Zijing stroked the crystal clear beads on her wrist, obviously helping Fang Zijing.

This beautiful woman with good charm is none other than Mrs. Lu, who just retired from the post of Si Tianjian Right Commander a month ago, and is now teaching physiognomy in the Taishi Academy.

Academician Gao was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Lu's words, but he didn't open his mouth to argue with her, just glanced at Han Wenguang, who was sitting above him with his eyes closed, and swallowed silently.

is also a new academician this year, Jing Chen, who doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, holds a scroll of Taoism in his hand, turns his head consciously, looks out of the door, but sees a figure coming in the distance, his eyes are swaying, and he lowers his head again.

Yu Shu walked to the door of Rongsheng Hall, and saw the scene where the people were full, knowing that she was the last to arrive, and secretly wondered: Isn't it two o'clock in the morning, she has seen the sundial at the main gate, just a moment later, she came a moment in advance, why did these people arrive earlier than her.

Thinking in her heart, she didn't stop walking, and as soon as she entered the door, she greeted the many elders present.

"Student Yu Shu, the academicians are polite."

After saying that, he looked up and saw that most of the eighteen academicians present were staring at her with blank faces, Yu Shu was inexplicable, and he didn't know that he was being put together.

"Okay, now everyone is here, we can talk about getting down to business." Academician Shangguan of Yili is the oldest among the people, and he presides over the affairs, and no one criticizes him.

"Old man, I and Academician Qin and Academician Dou are promoting this year's new ninth-class Yi Master, Qin Yuerou, who is ranked 32nd on the single list of Yi Li, do you have any special opinions?"

Academician Shangguan said, Yu Shu tilted his head slightly, and saw that among the several students waiting on the side like her, Qin Yuerou stepped forward, and when an academician asked, she answered in a proper manner.

Before coming, Fang Zijing didn't tell Yu Shuming, but when she looked at the situation, she could guess the reason why they were standing here, it turned out that the three academicians alone were not enough, and whether they could participate in this year's ancestor worship still needed to be examined by all academicians before making a decision.

This realization made Yu Shu's heart feel bad, and he quietly swept around his eyes, and it was not surprising to see that the respected Han Lao Operator was sitting on the top position.

Yu Shu could almost predict that when it was her turn next time, she would definitely be troubled.

She hasn't forgotten that just a month ago, she had ruined Han Wenguang's "big thing", and it would be strange that this calculating old man would not hate her. (To be continued.)
