Chapter 7 First Monthly Examination

"Meng Qiyu! Your mouth is full of filth, and we call you sister in vain! ”

Zheng Dan trembled angrily, and the movement also startled the guards outside the door, and everyone crowded into the room and looked at each other.

Meng Zhiyu bit her lower lip lightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "I just want to find out the real culprit who framed Mu Li." Sister Xi Shi does often go to Mu Li these days, but she only says hello, and she doesn't know what she is doing at other times. ”

Eyes focused on Xi Shi, Xi Shi sighed helplessly, and said, "I love Sister Muli's kitten, so I go to be intimate with it every day." ”

Meng Qiyu asked again: "Then why have you been so reluctant today?" Isn't it a thief's heart? ”

Xi Shi was speechless, thinking that he couldn't tell his real reason.

After a pause, Xi Shi asked again: "I often go in and out of Sister Muli's place, but isn't it easier for people who are often around her to get started?" ”

Meng Qiyu immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" What reason do I have to harm Mu Li? On the contrary, you're probably jealous that Mu Li has a pet, right? ”

Xi Shi listened to her words and felt that her idea was really novel, so he looked at her speechlessly.

"It's useless to talk too much, Lady Charm, I'd like to ask the guards to bring my cat. It can prove who it is. Mu Li said.

After the charm lady agreed, the guard quickly hugged the kitten over. The kitten's name is "Qingqing", and it is very cold on weekdays, only close to Mu Li, and with the unremitting efforts of Xi Shi, it has finally been favored.

As soon as Qingqing came in, she screamed "meow", walked directly to Mu Li, jumped into her arms and lay down.

Xi Shi's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but tease Qingqing to come over, usually Xi Shi had to shout two or three times before Qingqing was willing to come over, but this time it was very face-saving for Xi Shi

As soon as Xi Shi shouted, Qingqing came over and rubbed Xi Shi's ankles, which was very cute.

Xi Shi was about to pick it up, but he saw that Qingqing seemed to smell something, and his little nose sniffed east and west, and smelled the body of Meng Zhiyu next to him.

Meng Xianyu had always been afraid of cats, so he hurriedly avoided them. The kitten seems to love to play with her, chasing her closely, and "meowing" all the time.

"Mu Li, don't take your cat away yet!" Meng Qiyu said excitedly.

Mu Li didn't move, Xi Shi was afraid that Meng Zhiyu would step on Qingqing, so he hugged Qingqing. Meng Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mu Li, what's the use of you hugging Qingqing here?" Meng asked in a whisper.

Mu Li tilted his head to look at her and asked, "Why did you hurt me?" ”

Meng Qiyu was stunned, she didn't expect Mu Li to ask her so directly. I was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why do you think it's me?" ”

Mu Li replied: "Qingqing is only close to me and Xi Shi, and ignores others. I suddenly chased you today because you were stained with mint powder. ”

"Mint powder?" Zheng Dan asked curiously.

Mu Li explained: "Qingqing's spirit has not been very good recently, so I asked Gao Niangzi to find some mint powder that can refresh the kitten and sprinkle it in my house. I sprinkled some of the remaining powder under the foot of the table where the Gu worms were placed, in order to prevent Qingqing from jumping on the table. Therefore, if someone approaches the table where I put Gu worms, their feet will definitely be stained with mint powder, which will attract Qingqing. ”

Meng Qiyu was surprised and stammered at Mu Li, "You, you actually prevent me from coming here?!" ”

Mu Li didn't look at him anymore, and he didn't bother to explain again.

Su Yi stepped forward to relieve the siege: "It was because I didn't look good at managing Gu worms that I hurt the sisterhood, and since the Gu worms have been found, there is no need to make trouble anymore." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this is the end of the matter. ”

The victim Su Yi said this, and it was even more difficult for others to say more.

Meng Qiyu didn't give up, and said to Mu Li: "Mu Li, I know you blame me for appearing halfway to snatch Su Yi and alienate you." But ......"

"That's enough." Mu Li interrupted her, not wanting to hear her say more: "After class, I asked Mrs. Gao to allow me to move out." ”

Su Yi said in surprise: "Mu is ...... away"

If nothing else, today's champion will still be Mu Li, and Mu Li's wish to move away is also a reasonable wish, and Mrs. Gao will definitely agree.

In short, the matter is not settled, and no one mentions it again.

In the evening, Gao Niangzi really agreed to Mu Li to move out, but it was difficult for the palace to vacate a separate courtyard for her for a while, so Mu Li and Xi Shi Zheng Dan lived in Huanyue Pavilion together. The three of them had already fallen in love, so they all readily agreed.

On the second day of the monthly exam, except for Zheng Dan, everyone else came to the exam with dark circles under their eyes and poor spirits. Obviously, they didn't have a good night's rest due to last night's events. Unsurprisingly, Zheng Dan won. Got the first points, and also got the right to have their parents visit.

Zheng Dan was excited, but he was afraid that Xi Shi would miss his parents. Therefore, he has been restraining and suppressing his emotions.

Xi Shi saw it, and pulled Zheng Dan coquettishly and said, "Sister, you don't have to be like this, I'm really happy for you." What's more, my uncle and aunt treat me like a daughter, and I am very happy to see them like my own parents, and they can also report the safety of my parents on my behalf. ”

Zheng Dan saw that she was sincere, so he was relieved to share his happiness wantonly.

In the evening, the king of Yue set up a banquet and invited the Yue women to attend. This time, in addition to the ministers at the last banquet, the queen and princesses also came. It's just that Xi Shi looked around, but he didn't see Fan Li.

The Yue girls rehearsed the dance "Qingyun Song" that they had learned for a month, and then went on the stage.

"Qingyun Song" is elegant and elegant, with a beautiful melody; The skirt of the Yue girl is fluttering, like a fairy. The long sleeves are fragrant, and where they dance, there is a dark voice.

After the dance, the Yue girls stood in a row and saluted the queen of Yue.

King Yue looked at their delicate looks and was in a good mood, and the ministers and princesses also praised them again and again, saying that they had the trend of "rebirth" and the appearance of "peerless beauty".

Queen Yayu summoned Mrs. Gao to reward Zheng Dan with a gift, and Mrs. Gao held a brocade box and gave it to Zheng Dan. Zheng Dan took it and thanked the queen again.

The queen's face is soft and gentle, and her eyes are full of kindness and tenderness, which makes people feel close.

"This month, I see that you have worked hard to practice, and you have no time to rest on weekdays. Tomorrow you will rest for a day, you can go out of the palace to have fun, and come back before the palace gate is closed. But bring your maids and guards to keep you safe. The queen said.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and they still held the etiquette on their faces, and thanked the queen again before they were arranged to sit at the back of the palace.

The next step is to let Yue Nu show her talents one by one.

Su Yi plays the piano, the sound of the piano is melodious and tactful, sometimes galloping like a river, sometimes euphemistic like spring rain, very wonderful.

Meng Qiyu waved ink on the spot, and wrote down the words of "Qingyun Song", with exquisite pen and ink, like a dragon and a snake.

Xi Shi danced, the dance posture is light, the body is soft and elegant, like the clouds and the wind, very moving.

Mu Li painted a landscape painting, the pen is full and smart, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.

The last to play was Zheng Dan, Zheng Dan danced with a wooden sword in his hand, pretentious, graceful like a dragon, and won the applause of the audience.

"Good! This should be the case with my sons and daughters of the country. The king of Yue was high-spirited, and the ministers also echoed the situation, and the dinner ended harmoniously.

At the end of the party, the three girls of Huanyue Pavilion were very tired today, so they all packed up and went to bed early, and made an appointment to go out of the palace together tomorrow.

Xi Shi has been in poor spirits for the past two days, and he put on a piece of clothing and wants to go to the yard to sit and breathe. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by Yin 13 at the door.

She had forgotten that her guards were there to protect her all day.

"Don't you have to go to bed at night?" Shih Tzu asked.

Yin 13 took off his cloak and wrapped it around Xi Shi again, and said in a normal tone: "Don't be sleepy." ”

Xi Shi thanked him, tightened his clothes, and strolled to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. Yin 13 stood silently behind him.

The two were quiet for a long time, and Xi Shi suddenly became curious about Yin Shisan, remembering that he had never asked him about his identity and origin, so he chatted with him.

"Where are you from?"

"People of Chu."

Chu people, no wonder he is not formal when he wraps himself in a cloak. The Chu people are romantic and enthusiastic, and Xi Shi likes the customs of the Chu country very much. She suddenly thought of the verse that Fan Li gave her, and then remembered that Fan Li was also a Chu person.

"Then, if the Chu people meet the woman they like, how will they express their love?" Shih Tzu asked, leaning his cheeks.

Yin Shisan looked at Xi Shi's pink face with a little baby fat, looked at himself with ignorant and begging eyes, his heart fluttered, he reached out and pinched Xi Shi's little face, and said, "How old are you, just think about this." ”

Seeing that he still didn't let go, Xi Shi stared at him fiercely and said, "I'll be in time for two years!" ”

Yin Shisan hooked his lips and smiled, letting go of her.

"Everything in the world can be forbeared, and if you like someone, you can't hide it, and you don't have to hide it. So, I'll tell that person directly. Yin 13 told Xi Shi his answer.

Xi Shi hesitated and asked, "Hmm...... Brother Yin, do you know General Fan? He is also a native of Chu. ”

Yin 13 patted her little head and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I would agree to be your bodyguard in the first place?" ”

Xi Shi was stunned, only to realize that Yin Shisan was specially sent by Fan Li to protect her.

It's no wonder that the four sisters took turns to show their charm and didn't get him a glance, even Mu Li's hand knife slashed his eyes, and he didn't move at all. And she herself just asked if she would like to be her bodyguard, and he looked at her.

Xi Shi was a little angry when he understood and asked him why he didn't tell himself earlier.

Yin 13 explained helplessly: "General Fan said, you will find out yourself." You also told me that you are smart, but I didn't see it at all. ”

Xi Shi gritted his teeth, "hummed", pouted and ignored him.

It seems that Fan Li really likes her...... It's just, it's just a few days to get along, so that a person can like a person?

Xi Shi remembered what the book lady said: There will always be someone who will suddenly appear in your ordinary day, with light and beauty, at first glance in front of your eyes.

Xi Shi couldn't remember what the book lady said, but she had an epiphany about the meaning of the song "Silk". Suddenly thinking that Fan Li was not seen at today's dinner, Xi Shi asked Yin Thirteen again.

Yin Shisan looked at her with a smile and said playfully: "General Fan went around looking for beauties again, why, he didn't tell you?" ”

Xi Shi was annoyed and angry when he heard this, and understood that Yin Shisan knew about her and Fan Li, so he said angrily: "I see you seriously on weekdays, but it turns out that you are also a scoundrel!" ”

Yin 13 chuckled a few times and said, "I am like a brother to General Fan, and there is nothing I don't know about him." You don't have to panic, I'll still be 'serious' in front of people. ”

Yin Shisan bit the words "serious" very hard, as if he was deliberately ridiculing.

Xi Shi was no longer led by his nose, and asked as if he had not heard of it: "Didn't you already select a few of us to enter Wu?" Why do you still want to search for beauty? ”

Yin 13 saw that she didn't mean to be funny, so he stopped joking, and only said that Fan Li would come back in a few days, and he could ask him in person when the time came. Then, he drove Shih Tzu back to the house to sleep.
