Chapter 880: Shrinking

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Xue Wu only saw a man sitting in the courtyard chopping wood. Xue Wu saw that there was no woman, so he began to observe in place. He wears black clothes all the year round, even if it is inlaid with gold wires, it is not conspicuous when he does not stand in the sun, and he is half hidden behind a tree, Yu Geng did not notice him.

Xue Wu saw that the man had chopped firewood for a long time, although the time was not long, but those, in his memory, was enough for a family of four for three days, three bundles, each bundle was two and a half feet in diameter and six feet long.

After watching it for a long time, Xue Wu didn't see anything famous, he just felt that the temperament of the man in front of him was a little different from that of ordinary civilians.

After collecting firewood, Xue Wu saw Yu Geng start reading again, holding the broken scroll, and saw that there were even some yellowing stains on it, not a little bit of vegetable oil, but the fat of the human body, which was evenly distributed on the side of the book.

Although he Xue Wu was not a scholar, he could also see that the book should have been turned several times.

Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, the man was still studying and had no food, but Xue Wu was a little impatient, although he was a military general, but the capital was prosperous, and there was no fat on his body, but he was also used to a good life of pampering.

stepped forward, Xue Wu knocked on the firewood of Yu Geng's family. The first time, Yu Geng didn't hear it, and it wasn't until the second or third time that Yu Geng raised his head from the book and looked at the comer. Seeing that his clothes were extraordinary, and his whole body exuded the aura of a superior person, especially when he also had a face like Xue Jiuyu's father, Yu Geng was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and came to greet Xue Wu.

Today's humble house can be regarded as an adult, and Yu Geng can't afford to provoke an adult.

A little nervous, Yu Geng looked at the sky aimlessly, seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, and shouted, "It's time to cook." ”

Yu Geng wanted to relax for a while, so he whistled to open the door for Xue Wu, but he didn't dare to look at Xue Wu directly, even if he glanced at it, his head was always crooked.

"You know me?" Xue Wu suddenly asked.

Yu Geng hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't know, I don't know, I guess there must be something important for adults to come to this cold house......" He was about to die of nervousness. As soon as Xue Jiuyu left, his father came, in case the incident really happened at this time, this Xue Wu launched a ruthless attempt to expose this matter to the world in another expression, and when the time came, no matter how much he was protected by Yu Geng, I am afraid that he will be cut off by someone.

Walking straight into the courtyard, Xue Wu put his hands behind his back and looked left and right, with a hint of disgust in his eyebrows and eyes, but in the end it was not fully revealed.

Yu Geng followed closely behind Xue Wu, for fear that he, the "father-in-law", would find out a little clue, after all, he was just a poor boy.

"Hah!" Xue Wu looked left and right, but in the end he didn't see anything abnormal, thinking that the woman was deceiving him, but he was quite good at bluffing, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Xue Wu smiled and shook his head, and was about to leave, Yu Geng followed him all the time, without a moment of relaxation and stopping.

"My lord, it's noon, why don't you have a light meal in the humble house today?"

Xue Wu glanced back at Yu Geng, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Stubbornly, Yu Geng spoke, "If the little one didn't guess wrong, you should be Lord Xue Wuxue......"

"Hmm." Xue Wu nodded, "It's quite discerning, or should you have seen me somewhere?" ”

Sweating non-stop, Yu Geng said again: "Hmm." A few days ago, when I went to meet those dignitaries, I happened to take a look at you. ”

"Fresh candidates?"

Yu Geng shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that it's been delayed for three years." ”

Xue Wu didn't know why he was interested in the man in front of him, so he asked a few more words, "Why didn't you hit last time?" ”

Yu Geng arched his hand, "It's raining on the road, delaying the hour, and when you come, it's over......"

"It's a pity......" Xue Wu sighed, "Then these three years ......"

"Oh, in the past three years, while studying, I have worked for the shopkeeper in the shop over there, and I don't have much money and food every month, and I can barely get by. It's a pity that there is no extra money, and it is difficult to dot up and down. ”

"Humph!" Xue Wu snorted angrily, shocked Yu Geng's whole body, his legs bent, and he couldn't wait to kneel down for Xue Wu, "A manly man, born in the world, how can he do such a reluctant thing?" ”

Yu Geng knew that he had said the wrong polite words, and hurriedly "admitted his mistake", "It's a small rush for quick success and short-sightedness." I thought to myself, "My lord, are you so idle every day?" Why don't you leave? ”

Xue Wu casually admonished Yu Geng a few words, Yu Geng "admitted his mistake", seeing that this person had a good attitude, Xue Wu, who was in a happy mood, was interested and even praised Yu Geng a few words.

"The son can be taught, and I hope that you will be on the list of the imperial examination this year. Hahahaha! ”

"The big man is ashamed to kill the little one...... Yu Geng made a move, and when he looked up again, Xue Wu had already left, wiped a handful of sweat, stepped forward tremblingly and closed the chai door, leaned on the chai door weakly, and clenched his fists.

"If you don't win this year, it's been another three years...... "Three years...... Three-year ...... He Yu Geng can afford to wait, but can Xue Jiuyu still afford to wait? A woman's youth is only a few years, and she can't all be defeated by him, a poor boy. Thinking of this, Yu Geng's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sour, but he was a man who stood up to the sky and ran the house, and he couldn't cry

Walking towards the palace step by step, Xue Wu was still thinking about Yu Geng, in the dark, he always felt that the kid's future was limitless, every move, word and deed, I don't know if it was because of him who was facing him, and it was unnatural to read a book

When he arrived at the palace, Yu Geng left all this behind and knocked on the door of the palace.

In the study, Li Sui closed his eyes tightly, his face was quite ugly, and he kept rubbing his temples, looking preoccupied.

Wu Han brought him a cup of heart-nourishing tea, and Li Sui looked at the tea with great interest. As for the mountains of twists and turns on the table, he was even more in no mood.

"Wu Han, you read those folds to me, you read them, I will approve them."

"Oh oh, good!" Wu Han has never done this job, he was a little uncomfortable at first, and he often made two mistakes, but after a while, he gradually entered the state, and Wu Han, who was serious, did not even make a single typo.

Li Sui couldn't help but glance at him, "This little eunuch is quite spiritual. ”

Wu Han read the recital, and Li Sui said if it was okay, about half of the approval, and was interrupted.

"Huh?" Li Sui, who was half-squinting, was wondering why Wu Han didn't continue to read it, only to hear Wu Han come to him and say, "Holy Lord, Lord Guozhang is here." ”

Headache even more, Li Sui rubbed his eyes, last time he had been tortured enough by this Xue Wu, at this time, why did he come again? was about to let Wu Han go out and send Xue Wu away, but who expected Xue Wu to run in by himself and walk straight to Li Sui, regardless of whether he saw it or not, Gu Zi was polite.

"Guozhang, what are you doing today?"

"I suddenly became interested, I want to come and see Jiuyu, she should be in the palace."

Li Sui instantly became energetic, opened his eyes, and sat up straight. Fortunately, he "invited" Xue Jiuyu back today, otherwise he would be caught by this "old man", I am afraid that he would have lifted the dragon chair under his buttocks.

Suddenly, Li Sui realized something, "This, Guozhang, or you wait here, I'll go and invite Jiuyu to you." ”

Xue Wu waved his hand, "No need, Your Majesty has every opportunity, I'll just go alone, and by the way, I will also say some private words about my Xue family." ”

"Why don't I go......"

"This ...... Or I'll go. ”

Xue Wu raised his feet to leave, but Li Sui stood up one step ahead of him, grabbed Xue Wu's sleeve, pressed him back to the chair, and asked Wu Han to serve tea to Xue Wu.

When he went out, Li Sui immediately found a few palace maids in the palace and asked them to prepare their clothes and rouge gouache, and he ran to Ye Jinyu's bedroom to call Xue Jiuyu.

Before coming to the dormitory, Li Sui hesitated for a moment and hesitated a little at the door, but he still couldn't avoid the estrangement in his heart. Lifting his feet, hesitating, and putting down, he couldn't do anything, let alone the courage to reach out and push the door.

"Squeak-ah-" The door was opened, and Li Sui happened to meet the ugly slave walking out of it, and the ugly slave was startled by the sudden Li Sui, "Your Majesty, what are you doing standing at the door?" ”

Li Sui was about to speak, when he saw him from inside the house. The eyes that shoot out, sad, dim, dull, hesitant...... All the uncomfortable emotions were condensed in those eyes, except for anger and resentment. Ye Jinyu just glanced at Li Sui, then retracted his head again, and hid his body in the quilt.

In this day when it gradually began to warm up, Ye Jinyu hid in the dark room and cowered

"Li Sui! What are you doing here? "Xue Jiuyu came out. didn't speak, Li Sui grabbed Xue Jiuyu's jade wrist, ran away with her, and ran to the bath position, so that he had to talk to her.

"Hurry up and clean up, the prince is here......"

Xue Jiuyu was about to scold Li Sui, but when he heard his father coming, he instantly shut up. Looking at the door, Li Sui's sluggish appearance, why didn't she feel distressed and pity?

Xue Jiuyu quickly cleaned himself up. Although she had the rich fragrance that had not been washed and her hair was not dry, she couldn't care about it so much, so let's fool Xue Wu first.

She was still wearing a coarse cloth dress when she came just now, and it was really hard to explain if Xue Wu saw it.

Xue Wu was a little impatient, the boiling water, Xue Wu drank three bowls of it little by little, Wu Han's eyelids jumped when he saw it, he had never seen such a rough man.

If Li Sui doesn't come back, I'm afraid that the next bowl of boiling water will be splashed on his little eunuch's face. Wu Han came from a humble background, so he naturally knew how to see people and things, and at this time, Xue Wu's face was gloomy, and he was obviously extremely impatient. If the other party was not a saint, I am afraid that the sandalwood chair under his ass would have suffered at this time.

"Guojo ......"

"Father's ......"

Outside the door, before Li Sui and Xue Jiuyu finished their kind words, the true temperament Xue Wu began to talk about the two of them.

"Tell me about you, I've been waiting for so long, it's almost three incense sticks, what the hell are you doing!"
