Xue Rui said that there was something serious, Yu Shu thought he was going to mention the matter of opening a restaurant, but who knew that he actually asked:

"How long have you been learning easy?"

Yu Shu was puzzled, but still said truthfully: "It's really counted as March this year, and it's been eight months now." ”

It's not that she doesn't know the way, but she has lived in ancient times for more than half a year, which is really a blink of an eye.

"And what are you good at?" Eight months is really short enough, the children of the Yi Xue family usually start to enlighten at the age of six, Xue Rui thought to himself.

It's hard to say this, Yu Shu thought about it, and replied pickily: "I dare not say that I am good at it, I am easy to learn from Qimen Dunjia, and I am more proficient in the time and calendar, and Feng Shui house study only started to dabble in it not long ago, and the rest is the copper coin divination." ”

"Then what method did you use for me to calculate the eight characters a few days ago?" Xue Rui was puzzled.

Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "It's a kind of arithmetic skill." ”

She is the law of the time of disaster, it is really unbelievable to say it, she uses magic to solve the eight characters, knows the disaster and judges the disaster, and has no last resort, but I am afraid that others will not treat her as a madman, and there will be a crime of conceiving Bibi.

"Tricks?" Xue Rui said in his heart, this disaster that the Great Yi Master can't calculate was calculated by her, if it is called a small skill, wouldn't it be buried, he knew that Yu Shu had reservations about him, but Yi Zhi already cherished his own knowledge, and he didn't want to listen too much, probably knowing where her ability was.

"Aren't you asking me what I'm doing to get down to business?"

"Isn't that just getting down to business?" After Xue Rui asked rhetorically, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Ah Shu, are you considering taking this year's Dayan exam?" ”

"Huh?"

"I said, do you want to take the Dayan exam?" Xue Rui repeated it again, looking at Yu Shu's blank expression, and explained:

"In this Da Yan test once every three years, not counting the top three in each subject, anyone who can take 100 yuan can get a change of master of the change number, which is entered into the name book of Si Tianjian and issued a document, with this change number It will be convenient to do everything, how many people refer to Dayan is running for a change number. I thought you were only proficient in arithmetic and didn't know much about Eco, but now it seems that you have a good chance of passing the exam, so why not give it a try? ”

Yu Shu was silent, she had long considered this question that she would not participate in this year's Dayan exam, one was because of the Ji family, and the other was because she was too busy, at that time she had just entered the capital, and she didn't even have a stable place to live, she didn't have a meal after eating, she was busy making money to support her family, where did she have the time to prepare for the exam.

Xue Rui saw that she was silent and guessed her thoughts, and said:

"I know that you want to be motivated, but you are so self-sufficient and self-taught that it is better to try Dayan, you don't know clearly, every year in the Dayan test, Si Tianjian will select some young and promising Yi Shi to enter the Taishi Book Garden to study, this Taishi Book Garden is not a decoration, not only the University of Science and Technology Yi Shi personally taught to solve doubts, but also the most abundant library of Yi Xue classics in this world, as long as you enter there, why worry about not being able to improve, to study for three years to retake the exam I want to be your diligence and intelligence, do not worry about the future. This kind of opportunity is only once in three years, and it is best not to miss it easily. ”

"Don't you talk about this now, isn't it too late, Dayan will not be allowed to take the exam in October, it's almost a month, I just want to take the exam, and I can't do it," Yu Shu played with the broken teacup on the table, Xue Rui would mention this matter to her, there must be a way for her to take the exam.

"You don't need to worry about this, I have a way to help you add a seat, as long as you are willing to take the test."

Sure enough, Xue Rui came prepared, Yu Shu groaned, she was indeed a little moved by what Xue Rui said, now that she has settled down and the money is enough, the only thing she is worried about is the Ji family, but Ji Xingxuan met her by mistake and recognized her, and now it makes no sense for her to avoid them.

Taishi Shuyuan is indeed a good place to go, if she fights, there is no chance.

"What about you?" Yu Shu looked up at Xue Rui, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to help you take care of the restaurant's business?" ”

Xue Rui shook his head lightly, "I am a matter of mine, you just regard it as a back road, if you are lucky enough to be able to enter the Taishi Academy to study, just when I didn't mention this matter, if you fail the exam, you will still come to help me, how about it?" ”

Yu Shu didn't hesitate, stood up, and on his delicate face, a pair of eyes were bright:

"When it comes to this, isn't it ignorant for me to refuse again?"

"Ha Luha," Xue Rui just admired her coolness, without the ink of her youngest daughter's family, but more decisive than most men, "Then it's decided, I'll do the exam for you tomorrow, you just wait for my good news at home." ”

Yu Shu nodded and rolled up his sleeves, "You sit, Xiao Xiu is coming back soon, I'll cook the dishes, and let him drink when I get down, and I'll thank you again." ”

Xue Rui smiled and nodded, seeing that she was gone.

Xue Rui stayed at Yu Shu's house for dinner, and Yu Shu told Jing Chen and Yu Xiaoxiu about the decision to go to the big Yan test at the table, and the two of them were no strangers to this big Yan test because of Xia Mingming.

"You just have an idea." Jing Chen has never had any objection to Yu Shu's decision, and glanced at the man opposite who was holding a wine glass and smiling gently, knowing that this person had helped this time again. "In three years, I'm going to take the test." Yu Xiaoxiu is already a young man's ambition, he stayed in Baichuan Academy for a while, because Academician Song took special care, Yu Shu was willing to spend money to buy books and pens for him, and he also gave a few pocket money on weekdays, he was like a fish in water in a group of children, and he had a lot more confidence than half a year ago.

"Then you study hard now," Yu Shu touched his head, picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Xue Rui, and filled his own glass again.

Xue Rui didn't stop her from drinking like last time, and when he saw that there was no cup in front of Jing Chen, he asked, "Where is Jing Gongzi?" ”

"I'm not good at drinking."

"He doesn't drink."

The two spoke in unison, Xue Rui's eyes walked between them, and the smile on his face faded, "Yes, Ashu, you don't have to drink more, just drink this cup." ”

"Well, let's eat vegetables, this fried chicken offal is my specialty, the taste is not the best, but it is not sold outside."

Xue Rui took the chopsticks and tasted the meat dish that Yu Shu fingered, the entrance was slightly spicy, and it unexpectedly suited his taste, accompanied by a small wine made by the people, and he drank two more glasses unconsciously.

After the meal, Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, carried a lantern, and sent Xue Rui out, and when the two arrived at the mouth of the alley, Xue Rui asked her to stay:

"You have inconvenient legs, and go back, I will walk a little way and there is a sedan chair waiting in front of me."

Yu Shu nodded, raised the lantern to light the way for him, watched him walk a few steps out of the road, looked at his long back, and suddenly stopped him:

"Brother Cao."

When Xue Rui heard this, he paused before turning his head, "Huh? ”

It was night, and the dim light in the lantern made the man's face in front of him seem to be covered with a veil of mist, making it difficult to see.

Yu Shu had read countless people in his previous life, but for Xue Rui, it was clear that the time they had been together for a long time was not short, but she never saw through it, saying that he was shrewd, and he liked to pretend to be confused, saying that he was good-tempered, and he was not easy to mess with.

However, he took care of her a lot more than an old acquaintance should do, and she didn't believe him if he wanted anything else.

This sentence has been stuffy in her heart for many days, she treats him as a friend, and she doesn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so she blurted out:

"Can you tell me what you want from me so much?"

Xue Rui put his hands behind his back, his eyes turned, and swept over her delicate face between a teenager and a girl, and finally settled in her overly calm eyes, his dark eyes looked at her directly through the light and mist, and asked softly:

"What do you say?"

Yu Shu's eyelids trembled slightly, she was a little frightened when he looked at her like this, for a moment, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, she looked away and fell on the road not far away, the corners of her mouth moved, and she barely pulled out a wry smile:

"If I knew the way, I would ask you what to do."

"Huh." Xue Rui laughed lightly, shook his head, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Yu Shu looked at his fading back, sighed, stood in place for a while, touched his slightly sweaty neck, and turned back into the alley.

Just when Xue Rui left from Huixing Street, Ji Huaishan, who was half a city away from Jifu in the north of the city, who had returned from Si Tianjian from the evening of the prison, was sitting in the study and raised his head from an official book:

"Xuan'er, what did you just say?"

This old lady of the Ji family is a well-known big man in Yiyang City, with children and grandchildren under his knees, but he will be in the sixtieth year, but he can't find a few traces of white hair on his head, and on a face with Chinese characters, only the corners of his eyes and mouth have some lines.

"When I was discussing with the Ji family before, the younger sister who was found from the name of the third uncle to replace me is now in the capital, and I met in the Dingbo Pavilion not long ago, and my grandson suspected that Master Qing Zheng taught her the art of the Six Masters."

Ji Xingxuan said, Ji Huaishan's face changed: "How can you say this, your third uncle's name is the daughter brought in by the concubine?" How can you get involved with Daoist Qingzheng, Star Swirl, you can be clear. ”

"Yes, grandfather," Ji Xingxuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Do you remember when I went home in April this year, when Master Qing Zheng was still living in our house, I once saw him at the old man's house, and after drinking, I heard him drunk, it seemed that he had taken in an apprentice, I thought about it at the time, and thought it was someone outside. However, that day I went to the Dingbo Pavilion with the Seven Princes, and saw someone using the master's six techniques, and then I thought about it, and felt more and more familiar, so I remembered that I had seen this person by the side of Miss Xia Jiangwu, and I heard that it was also from the south, so I paid more attention, and after meeting the eldest son of the Xue family, I concluded that it was that sister. ”

Ji Huaishan was confused when he listened, "Why do you have anything to do with the young lady of the Xia Jiang family and Xue Gongzi?" ”

Ji Xingxuan lowered her eyelids and said, "I heard that she escorted Miss Xia Jiang into Beijing, as for Xue Gongzi, she should have met when she was discussing relatives in Yiyang City." ”

"Huh?" Ji Huaishan understood now, frowned, put his hand on the case, thought for a moment, and said, "Where are the people now?" ”

Ji Xingxuan shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard Miss Xia Jiang mention it by chance, and she probably lives in the south of the city, near a street called Huixing Street." "Min
