Chapter 765: An Assertive Woman
The next day, Yu Shu went to the princess's mansion to retrieve the ancient sword, Jing Chen didn't know what kind of skin he used to make a scabbard for it, and it was still worn out and old. When she got the sword, she couldn't wait to find Xin Liu, the old lady Xin had washed her hands for a long time, and she generally didn't see outsiders, he occasionally haunted the Xin Ri Chongguang Dayi Pavilion, Yu Shu couldn't go to squat every day, so he could only find another way.
As soon as Xin Liu saw her, he noticed the fur hat on her head: "It's so warm, what hat are you wearing?" â
"I accidentally fell, knocked my head, and wore a covering." Yu Shu lifted a corner to show her the bruises on her forehead, which startled her, and hurriedly asked her how she knocked it, and she made up a paragraph to fool her.
Xin Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can't think about it because of Academician Jing's escape, isn't it." On the day of Yu Shu's marriage, Xin Liu was in the team to send off his relatives, and witnessed the scene of the sedan chair going out and carrying it back, although Yu Shu did not cry afterwards, everyone thought she was pretending to be strong.
Yu Shuxin said that she just wore a hat to go out for fear of misunderstanding, and now whoever sees the wound on her forehead thinks that she wants to die, which is really unlucky-"I'll tell you the right thing, I have something to ask Academician Xin, do you have a way for me to meet his old man?" â
Xin Liu heard that she wanted to see her grandfather, so she agreed, patted her chest and promised: "This time you are looking for the right person, grandpa loves me, on weekdays, grandfather wants to see grandpa depends on his old man's mood, I am different, no matter when I go to Donglai Pavilion to play, grandpa has not seen me." Next time I'm going to visit him, I'll just take you with me. â
Yu Shu asked again uneasily: "Then you take me with you." Will Academician Xin be unhappy and blame you afterwards? â
Xin Liuda grinned: "No, grandpa has a good temper, last time I dropped his baby Bodhi bead into the brazier and burned it, he didn't get angry with me, I just brought a friend to meet him, what is he unhappy about." â
Yu Shu sometimes really thinks that it's good to be heartless and lungless like Xin Liu, at least he won't worry about the sky and do everything justifiably.
"Are you free tomorrow?" She asked.
"Tomorrow? Not tomorrow. Xin Liu waved his hand. A little twisted: "I didn't have time to tell you, I was selected to be the bearer of this year's ancestor worship ceremony, and I will leave for Huazhen Garden early tomorrow morning." â
The ninth day of the fifth month is the day of the sacrifice of the ancestors, and the ancestor worship ceremony is held at the imperial tomb on that day every year. It's the biggest event of the year. It was presided over by Si Tianjian. There's a link in it. Six young boys and girls are needed to serve as the propagators to worship the six founding instruments, and these six candidates have always been from. This is an honor, last year's ancestor worship ceremony, Yu Shu was the leading propagator, not to mention that last year was the triennial Dayan exam after the freshmen were admitted to the hospital, and she became the most high-profile one.
Yu Shu couldn't help but be happy for her: "This is a good thing, then I'll wait for you to come back from Huazhenyuan." â
Xin Liu pursed his lips and said: "What's good, you don't know who the people are selected this year, even me are all selected based on their family background, and there is no one who is the top person." Like that Wen Shao'an, didn't he follow you into Si Tianjian, and it was the top three in last year's list, he was originally selected, and three academicians recommended him, who knew that in the end he was inexplicably removed from the quota, and he didn't even have a statement, so he was replaced by a child of a family who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and many people in the library were gossiping behind our backs and laughing at us. I'd rather not be chosen than be embarrassed. â
Yu Shu frowned slightly, thinking that Taishi Shuyuan was becoming more and more disagreeable, Wen Shaoan hadn't mentioned this matter to her, probably because he was afraid of causing her trouble.
Xin Liu is still complaining: "This year, two more academicians are old, and the new academicians will put on a shelf, teach all the old sesame seeds and rotten grain, all of them hide their secrets, and they are not willing to show their real skills at all." There are gangs everywhere in the library, not many people are dedicated to learning, and last month there was a female student who was squeezed out, and she took the initiative to drop out of school because of the humiliation. Alas, I don't want to go to school every day, so I might as well get married early. â
Yu Shu listened to the sigh in the first half, and when she reached the last sentence, she couldn't help laughing, poked her forehead and said, "This is your true words." â
Xin Liu was shocked to find that she had said what was in her heart, and held her face shyly: "Oh, I didn't say anything." "Her marriage with Gu Qi has been decided, with Princess Xiang as a guarantee, the two parents exchanged the birth dates of their children, and then went to the Kunling Bureau to apply for official marriage documents. With Yu Shu here, this is a trivial matter.
Yu Shu met with Xin Liu in the morning, went to Wangji Building to have a look, and found Xin Lishan and agreed with him on the opening date. Last month, she recovered from a leg injury, so she went to invite Xin Lishan out of the mountain and persuaded him to sit in her Dayi Pavilion, of course, Xin Lao Wu as a profiteer will never suffer, he will share half of her dry shares with a mouth, and finally Yu Shu cut to a thirty percent bonus, and promised him that the remuneration he collected for divination would be his own property, and the two of them negotiated the rules and regulations, and she coaxed him to sign the contract. Xin Lishan lived in the Wangji Building the next day with a cheeky burden, and lived a good life without worrying about eating and drinking.
However, this thirty percent bonus is not wronged, Xin Lishan itself is a good hand at doing business, and the strange gadgets he invented can be used to make a profit, the most important point, he was born in a family of twelve mansions, and was once the leader of the two lists, the first Yi Shi, recognized as the next head of the Xin family, although he and Xin Ya father and son were expelled from the house and have been in a slump since then, but his connections for many years are still there, as long as he is willing to go out of the mountain, recruit a few Yi Shi with real talent and real learning to sit in the hall of the forgetting machine building, Don't worry about their Dayi Pavilion not being popular.
Yu Shu has a vague concept in her heart, she does not want to build the Wangji Building into a tool for collecting money in the name of a family, but a place that can really solve the problems of those who need to ask God for divination. The so-called easy learning can not only help people avoid evil, it should bring hope to people, rather than fear of the unknown
Yu Shu walked out of the Wangji Building, and the sun had just set. The guard who followed behind her carried a few cakes that the cook had specially steamed for her, all of which were the signature refreshments of the former Wangji Building, and they were not sold outside. When I walked to the mouth of the alley, I was stopped by a man who looked a little familiar.
"Lord Yu, please mention something, you go this way."
She recognized him as the guard of Taixi Tower, and reminded the people around her. As soon as she went out, she was blocked, and it can be seen that the eyeliner around her has always been zĂ i, and Da Tidian knows her every move well. She didn't make any trouble, nodded and let people lead the way. I didn't go far and came to the teahouse on the same street as the Wangji Building.
Yu Shu has been here a few times. Several storytellers on the first floor are all dignified readers, even if they occasionally talk about the history of romance, so the business of this teahouse has always been very good, and it is full during the day. On the second floor, there are a few private rooms with open windows that can be seen below. You can also tell stories alone. However, the price of tea and snacks has increased tenfold, and ordinary people may not have gone up once in the first half of the year.
Yu Shu followed the lead up to the second floor and entered a private seat with the best location. Seeing the big mention point sitting by the window listening to the book, the guards withdrew, and Lu Hong and Xu Qing were waiting outside.
Zhu Muzhao didn't look at her, just pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down." â
Yu Shu sat down without saying a word, she was somewhat angry in her heart, she was smashed on the head by him yesterday, how could she sit down calmly and drink tea with him. At this time, the voice of the storyteller downstairs came loudly.
"The Miao Ling maiden is happily covered with a hijab, was helped on the sedan chair by the Xi Po, carried from the house to the outside of the house, followed by a long street of dowry boxes, just waiting to send it to the princess's mansion, the general bride has to cry when she gets married, reluctant to let her father and mother reluctant to brothers and sisters, she doesn't, who called her to marry a wishful husband, it's too late to be happy, that face, all smile and bloom, but where does she know, the groom has already run away."
As the protagonist of the story, Yu Shu listened to it with black lines, and secretly scolded the storyteller Wang Ba for selling the fence as a turtle editor, she was clearly a sedan chair with a drooping face, why did she laugh and blossom, where did this rumor come from!
Zhu Muzhao on the other side laughed, picked up the teacup and blew lightly, glanced at her and said, "Don't be unhappy, Jingchen is leaving, your reputation as a girl is very bad, and you don't want to marry again in the future." â
Yu Shu bowed his head and was silent.
Zhu Muzhao said again: "I know who you are thinking about in your heart, but you really don't know whether you are smart or stupid, let me ask you, when did you know that the "Xuannu Liuren Book" I got was fake?" â
Yu Shu still didn't speak.
"You don't need to say that I also know, it must be after Jingchen left, you only found out about this matter, hehe, then you might as well guess, when did Yunhua tell his precious son about this."
Yu Shu raised his head abruptly and said coldly, "Say whatever you want to say." â
Zhu Muzhao's eyes flashed and said: "Yunhua set a trap that day, just to take Xue Rui away, he values this son so much, there must be another reason, although I can't figure out why, but one thing is certain, that is, he wants to rebel." They even deceived you, just to let me relax my vigilance, I thought that I got the "Xuannu Liuren Book", and I firmly held you and Jingchen in the palm of my hand, so I persuaded the saint, regardless of the Xue family's heart of hiding dirt and dirt, and chose Liu Tan as the prince. â
If he had known that the Xuannu Book was fake, he would definitely not let Liu Tan take the throne. Yun Hua, maybe add a Xue Rui, these two fathers and sons should have expected this a long time ago, so they excluded Yu Shu, "their own person", and counted it in.
He explained the reason so clearly, Yu Shu couldn't understand it, her expression changed and changed, and she clenched her fists under the table, but she couldn't refute his words.
Zhu Muzhao looked at her forbearance with satisfaction, and changed his words: "Women, since ancient times, have been victims of power desire, men's promises are just a whim, and they have become clouds and smoke in the blink of an eye, you are a rare smart woman in this world, don't lose your assertiveness because of love and love, and waste the opportunity given to you by God." â
He turned his head sideways, pointed to the head of the black man downstairs, and said: "This teahouse is an industry under my name, and there are many such places in Anling City, the world is like this, I have a thought, I can make you a Miao Ling female envoy admired by everyone, and you can also become a laughing stock." If one day you have that ability, who will be able to take advantage of you? â
Yu Shu's breath suffocated, and then became heavy.
Zhu Muzhao turned around and gave her a smile, like an elder who cared for her and said: "Tomorrow, you go with me to Huazhen Garden to face the saint, explain the matter clearly, I will exonerate you, you must fight for yourself, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on how you choose." â
After speaking, he asked Yu Shu to be sent out.
Yu Shu walked out of the teahouse gloomily, sat on the sedan chair, and pulled down the curtain, only then did he slowly exhale a breath of filthy air, and then pouted and sneered-between her and Xue Rui, how could others provoke it.
"As you said, I'm an assertive woman, aren't I?" (To be continued......)
