I ordered a pot of tea, drank it slowly, and silently waited for the end of the exam.

Yun'er originally planned to stand all the time, but she was pulled down by her, but she refused to drink tea with her, just paying attention to the movement in the examination room.

After about a stick of incense, there was a commotion in the examination room, but the door of the examination room was opened, and the candidates had already walked out.

Yun'er, who had been staring at the examination room, hurriedly said to Shen Lian, "Miss, the exam is over, let's go over quickly, otherwise Young Master Ning won't be able to see us when he comes out." ”

This crowd of people, in addition to the people at the front, can also see each other, standing outside the crowd, trying to find the person who came to greet him, but it is not so easy.

If you hadn't agreed on a place to meet in advance, or if you shouted loudly, you wouldn't have seen anyone at all.

"Yun'er, you sit well, we don't have to go over."

Shen Lian put down the teacup in her hand unhurriedly and smiled at Yun'er.

This kind of crowded scene reminded her of the scene in her previous life, when the boarding school was on vacation, those parents who came to greet the students stood at the door and waited.

If you think about it, it's a bit similar to what it is now.

Hearing Shen Lian say this, Yun'er also sat down obediently, but she still looked at Shen Lian suspiciously, and said, "Miss, did you make an appointment with Young Master Ning to meet in this place?" "Seeing the calm expression of his own young lady, he doesn't seem to be worried at all, Young Master Ning will not be able to find them.

All she could think of was such a result.

"I haven't seen my senior brother in the past few days, how can I make an appointment with him a long time ago."

Shen Lian listened to Yun'er's words, but shook his head with a smile.

She didn't come to see her senior brother just to avoid the gossip of others, and she didn't want to bring any unnecessary trouble to her senior brother, so naturally she wouldn't have any contact with her brother during the exam.

After listening to Shen Lian's answer, Yun'er became even more puzzled in her heart, "Then Miss, why don't you let the slave maid go to the examination room to guard, in case Young Master Ning doesn't see us and leaves directly, how can it be good?" She felt that it was very possible, after all, there were so many people here, and Young Master Ning didn't know that they were coming.

"You don't have to worry about this, Miss Ben has her own way."

Shen Lian smiled mysteriously and said to Yun'er.

After finishing speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, looking leisurely and complacent.

Although Yun'er didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her young lady's gourd, she didn't ask anything anymore when she saw her looking like she was holding a bamboo.

It's just that he still kept his eyes on the door of the examination room, carefully looking for Ning Qingming's figure.

Ning Qingming walked out of the examination room calmly, looking a little tired.

Although he is a person who practices martial arts, after several days of exams, his mind is extremely drained, and even with his body, he feels a little tired.

"Young Master!" As soon as he walked out, the scholar who came to greet him waved his hand to him excitedly and shouted, "Young master, the little one is here, and the master asked the little one to pick you up and take you home." ”

At the same time, Yun'er, who was sitting in the teahouse, also said to Shen Lian a little anxiously, "Miss, Young Master Ning has already come out, if we don't go out again, I'm afraid she will follow his scholar back to the house." ”

She didn't know what the method was that Miss had said before, but now that Ning Qingming had walked in front of the scholar and looked like she was about to leave, she couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Yun'er, when will you be able to change your panic when you encounter something?" Shen Lian said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you?" Miss Ben has her own way, what a panic! After finishing speaking, Shen Lian didn't wait for Yun'er to speak again, took out a delicate piccolo from his sleeve, brought it to his lips, and slowly blew it.

Ning Qingming walked in front of his scholar, and when he learned that the carriage was parked a little farther away, he prepared to go to the place where the carriage was parked, and went home directly in the carriage.

After all, these days in the examination room, but there is no way to bathe and change clothes, now that the exam is over, he naturally wants to go back to take a good bath, and then sleep well and recover his spirits.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a familiar and pleasant sound of a flute in his ears, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and his eyes looked in the direction from which the flute came.

As soon as he looked over, Shen Lian stopped playing the piccolo, held the piccolo in his hand, and waved at him with a smile.

"You go back to the house first, if my father asks, just say that I still have some things to deal with, and I will go back to the house later."

Ning Qingming explained to his scholar, and walked towards the teahouse.

"Senior brother, please drink tea."

Shen Lian looked at Ning Qingming, who was sitting opposite him, with a smile, and pushed the tea that had just been poured over.

The eyes were carefully looking at Ning Qingming, perhaps because of the lack of sunshine in the past few days, the senior brother's face was slightly pale, and his expression was also a little tired, which made her feel a little distressed.

Since she was a child, her senior brother has always played the role of a protector in front of her, and in her memory, her senior brother has always been high-spirited, and she has never seen her senior brother so tired.

"Senior brother, you have suffered these days, you will follow me back to Yuqiong Courtyard in a while, and I will stew some chicken soup for you to replenish your body."

Shen Lian looked at Ning Qingming and said with some pity.

Ning Qingming sighed, "Senior sister, you shouldn't have come, although the spring season has ended now, but the list can only be released in March, if you come to pick me up at this time, I'm afraid it will cause some gossip for Uncle Shen." ”

He missed not being able to see her during this time.

I wanted to look for her several times, but in the end I held back, not wanting to cause her any trouble.

Seeing her come to pick him up today, he was naturally very happy in his heart, but he immediately thought of the trouble that might arise because of this.

"So what?" Shen Lian raised her eyebrows, and said in a calm tone, "As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, we are already senior brothers and sisters, it is natural for me to come to pick you up, who can pick out what is not coming!" "And your talent, senior brother, is beyond doubt, not to mention, if my father and he had been affected by these gossip, he would not have come to where he is today."

She naturally thought of what the senior brother said, but she didn't care too much.

In order to avoid suspicion, she and her senior brother have not seen each other for several months, and now that the exam is over, she feels that there is no need to avoid suspicion anymore.

Ning Qingming is not a hypocritical person, Shen Lian said so, so he naturally stopped holding on to anything.

His eyes stared at Shen Lian's beautiful face, and he asked softly, "Senior sister, are you doing well during this time?" During this time, he suffered from lovesickness.

Except when he was studying, as long as there was nothing to distract him, her delicate face appeared in his mind all the time, making him miss it more and more.

"Senior brother, I'm not a child anymore, you don't have to worry about me so much."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Don't you know me yet?" I have never been the only one who makes others suffer, how can anyone bully me! I've been doing well during this time, so don't worry. ”

The senior brother is really still the same senior brother, and he has always put his concern for her first, for fear that she will be wronged.

It's just that the people in this world who can bully her haven't been born yet.

"That's good!" Ning Qingming smiled shallowly, picked up the teacup, took a sip slightly, and the bitter taste suddenly spread in his mouth, just like his mood at this time.

Although bitter, it has a hint of sweetness.

When will this girl understand his heart for her? She has always treated him as a senior brother, but he wants more than just a senior brother and sister.

Shen Lian didn't know Ning Qingming's complicated mood at all, and still said with a smile, "Senior brother, you have been concentrating on the exam in the examination room these days, and you are very tired from thinking about it, I have already asked someone to prepare something for you, and you can bathe at any time to relieve your fatigue."

Shen Yi parked the carriage outside, let's go. ”
