Chapter 365: Re-entering the Heavenly Prison
Yu Shu drank two glasses of wine with Pei Jing last night, and had an inexplicable dream, and he was a little dizzy when he was called by kidney beans in the morning, but fortunately, he was refreshed after washing his face.
Yu Xiaoxiu dressed up early and waited in the foyer outside her house, recently ate and slept well, he grew taller, compared to Yu Shu, a slender figure, just arrived at the tip of his sister's nose, wearing a blue cloth gown issued by the academy, combing a neat scarf, obedient and quiet.
In March, day by day it was getting warmer and warmer, Yu Shu didn't have any good clothes to wear, so she found out in the cabinet that Zhao Hui cut a blue lotus-colored pleated skirt for her in Yiyang last year, replaced it with a newly woven belt, and tightened her waist, so she couldn't see it if it was shorter.
Kidney Bean combed Yu Shu's hair, and originally wanted to put some grease powder on her face, but Yu Shu waved her hand to avoid it, Zhao Hui bought her a few boxes of rouge powder for the New Year, but she disliked these things and threw them on her face to get in the way, and she refused to greet her face again after using it once.
Kidney Dou thought that Yu Shu was born not to be fancy, who knew that she was in the workplace in her last life, and wearing makeup every day was like having a two-skin face, and now that she finally got rid of cosmetics, where would she waste that foreign time.
After packing up, Yu Shu put her name card and exam post close to her, tied her money bag, went out of the house and beckoned to Yu Xiaoxiu, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you out for breakfast, and let Kidney Bean wait for Daddy to come over and let me know." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu nodded happily, stepped forward to take Yu Shu's hand, was pulled out of the door by her, and got into the carriage that Pei Jing sent someone to come to pick her up early in the morning.
Not long after they left, someone came to the door to deliver a congratulatory gift.
***
The two sisters and brothers ate roasted cakes and beef balls on West Street, and one drank a big bowl of soup and ate to their heart's content.
Si Tianjian was built in the north of the city, and drove over from the west of the city, and it took less than half an hour, and when Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu got off at the place, the sun had just risen.
"Brother coachman, please wait on the corner over there, and I'll come out when I'm done."
Yu Shu explained to the coachman, led Yu Xiaoxiu forward and walked half a way, and saw the iconic and obvious gate of Si Tianjian in the middle of this headless street.
The gate of Si Tianjian is comparable to a shrunken city gate, with a deep doorway, a high door wall, and guards at the bottom of the gate day and night, all of whom are real soldiers with swords and swords.
"Stand still, what are you doing?"
As soon as the siblings approached the gate, they were stopped by two guards who stretched out their hands and interrogated them meticulously, probably because they didn't look like they could go inside to do business.
"Sister." Yu Xiaoxiu pulled Yu Shu's hand, a little nervous.
"It's fine." Yu Shu took out the name card that had been prepared and handed it to a guard, "I am Xiuyuan from the first department of Dayan thaumaturgy this year, and I was notified to come to Si Tianjian today to return to the pen, can you let us in." ”
The so-called return pen, to put it bluntly, is to show his face in front of the examiner. After the Dayan candidates are on the list, they will not be able to change their appearance immediately, and Yi Shi, who is not in the top three, needs to go to Si Tianjian to participate in a round of interviews to check whether there are people who abuse the number and avoid the suspicion of favoritism and fraud.
The top three are to go to Si Tianjian and be personally met by several high-ranking officials.
Yesterday, when Yu Shu was in Qiongyu Building, an official from Si Tianjian went to her home to post, and by the way, she was notified that she was going to Si Tianjian to return to the pen today and receive the seal issued by Si Tianjian representing the identity of Yi Shi.
The guard was surprised to see such a young woman, and carefully checked her name, and after confirming it, he didn't make much trouble, let her through, and told her which way to go when she entered the door.
Yu Shu then took Yu Xiaoxiu into the gate of Si Tianjian with a swagger, this is the second time she has come to this place that makes the world yearn for it.
It's just that last time she was tied up and dragged in, but this time she walked in openly.
Si Tianjian during the day is very different from the appearance of the tiger's den in Longtan in her impression, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the plants and trees are flourishing, there are buildings in the distance, and there are pavilions in the near view, but it is like a huge garden.
Yu Shu took Yu Xiaoxiu to look at the landscape while walking, and unknowingly, he took a fork in the road and couldn't find the direction that the guards pointed at the beginning.
"Sister, haven't we just walked around here?" Yu Xiaoxiu touched his head and looked at the same environment around him strangely.
Yu Shu pulled him to stop in front of the entrance of a long corridor, looked left and right, and stared at a familiar octagonal pavilion not far in front of the flower pond, and there seemed to be a person sitting in the tall pavilion.
She muttered, "Well, it looks like I came here just now, so let's go back." ”
"Okay."
The sister and brother went backwards, followed the road they had come, bypassed a painting world, passed a row of rockeries, crossed a path, stood at a fork in the road, and chose the road they had not walked before.
After a cup of tea, Yu Shu stood at the entrance of the corridor with black lines, looking at the octagonal pavilion with people sitting in front of her, and didn't want to admit that she was lost.
"Sister, why don't we go back and go another way?" Yu Xiaoxiu looked at Yu Shu's face and asked cautiously.
Yu Shu guessed what kind of formation they were touching, Si Tianjian is the highest point of Da'an Yixue, every flower and grass in the courtyard must have a mystery, and ordinary people may not be able to get out of the courtyard when they come.
She was hesitating whether to take the copper coin out of the direction of Bu Yibu, when she heard a hearty laughter, from afar, she turned her head to look for it, and her eyes jumped over the large clusters of blooming begonias and rhododendrons in the flower pond, and she saw the back figure on the gazebo stood up at some point, and she couldn't see the appearance clearly, but it was a tall man, who raised his hand and beckoned to them, as if asking them to pass.
"Sister, is that person calling us?"
Yu Shu hesitated for a moment, then decided to go up and ask for directions, saving trouble.
"Let's go, let's go."
Yu Shu and Yu Xiao repaired the corridor, went around to the flower pond, stepped on a path embedded with rain flowers and stones, and walked to the front of the pavilion.
"Where are you going, how did you break into my Tianyuan Terrace." The young man stood in front of the stone table in the pavilion, holding a jade chess piece on the back of one hand and the other hand, and on the chessboard carved in stone on the table, there were scattered chess pieces of the same color, and a chess game was upside down.
Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and he could tell from his words that his identity was extraordinary, so he politely bowed his hand and said apologetically: "I was reckless, I only cared about the scenery, but I strayed into the formation and lost my way." Please also ask this son to advise us on how to get out of battle. ”
"Ha Lu Ha," the young man listened to Yu Shu's words, and laughed again, threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and said: "No, no, no, I don't have any formation here, but four identical courtyards are connected together, surrounding this pavilion, you come out of that courtyard, and then enter this one, thinking that you are lost, and then go back, go again, it's strange if you don't get lost." ”
As soon as Yu Shu heard this, he knew that the other party had seen her and Yu Xiaoxiu for a long time, but he let them go around here for a long time, and only after seeing enough jokes did he give advice.
She secretly rolled her eyes, her impression of this person was greatly reduced, she didn't say anything more, said "Thank you for telling me", and pulled Yu Xiaoxiu away.
The young man did not stop him, and stood in the pavilion to watch them go away, before shaking his head, and sat down again to look at the chess game.
Yu Shu knew the strangeness in the courtyard, and soon found the doorway, and walked out with Yu Xiaoxiu.
On the way, I met an ordinary official who was on an errand, and asked again where the "Su Mian Building" was where the examinee went to return to the pen, and this time I met a good person, and the official was very enthusiastic about leading the way and leading them to the place before leaving.
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, Yu Shu was brought into the building by a small official, and after waiting for a cup of tea in the tea room, he was called out and told her that the senior official who was in charge of her return to writing today turned out to be the one who was the young eunuch.
"The young eunuch has arrived, Miss Yu, please go up to the second floor with me."
Yu Shu had a very bad impression of Ren Qiming, as soon as he thought of him, his little finger hurt so far, she didn't blame her for being careful, whoever sat in his own shop and drank tea, but was taken away by Wuhua tying up, tortured indiscriminately to extract a confession, and almost tortured into a trick, and he would not easily forgive the main messenger after that.
Besides, Ren Qiming shouldn't have a good impression of him, after all, because of her, Jingchen had threatened him at that time to break one of his fingers.
"I'm tired of this lord leading the way." Yu Shu treated the official who led the way politely.
The other party smiled modestly at her and said, "I'm just a little history book, I can't be an adult, my surname is Zhao, you just call me Zhao Shibo." ”
Yu Shuman thought that the officials of Si Tianjian were all above the top and had a strange temperament, just like the young man he saw in the pavilion before, who would have thought that the two he met later were so enthusiastic and talkative, and he had a change in his opinion of Si Tianjian for a while.
"Then thank you Zhao Shibo."
Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to wait for her obediently in the tea room, followed Zhao Shishu upstairs, and saw Ren Qiming in the hall on the second floor.
"Lord Young Eunuch, Xiuyuan Yu Shu of the first thaumaturgy department has arrived this year." Zhao Shishu faced Ren Qiming, obviously respectful, bowed his head and reported it, as if he didn't dare to speak too loudly, which showed his prestige.
There was the previous night trial, Ren Qiming and Yu Shu face to face again, it didn't seem embarrassing, Ren Qiming still looked serious, glanced at her, then asked Zhao Shishu to retreat, pointed to the empty chair under the window on the side, and said to Yu Shu: "Sit down, there is still one in the top three who has not come, and when he arrives, I will ask again." ”
Yu Shule pretended to be stupid, and if she couldn't have a bad relationship with Ren Qiming, of course she couldn't ask for it, so she honestly sat on the chair and waited for someone.
Thaumaturgical top three, there is no leader, only her Xiuyuan, and a Xianglang, Xianglang is still Wen Shaoan she knows.
I don't know what Ren Qiming will ask them later, will they be embarrassed, Yu Shu thought about it, secretly raised his eyes and looked at Ren Qiming, just a little worried, then heard a cold voice floating over: "Don't worry, this prison will not meet you in general." Your Xiuyuan was ordered by Taishu himself, as long as that paper is not answered by someone else for you, you will not be able to run away from the title of Xiuyuan in this subject. ”
