"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

The two said in unison.

"It's okay."

"It's okay."

Both of them were stunned, then looked at each other and smiled.

This time, Midsummer didn't let me ask casually, and directly told me about my mission.

He pondered for a while with his eyebrows lowered and put forward his own opinions. "Is it possible that someone they can't reach, or that the name Shuheng has long been replaced by something else?"

When Midsummer heard this, he couldn't help but think about it. Indeed, this is a book town, such as the masters in the academy or the government office, etc., which are out of reach of the eldest brother, and if Shu Heng is the master, no one will definitely call him by his name, and naturally no one knows what he should have been called.

But in this way, the eldest brother seems to be powerless, and they can't let them go to the academy, and it is estimated that they will be kicked out before they can go in.

"By the way, this mission requires teaming, I don't know you?" Midsummer looked at her with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

This is the first time that Sheng Xia has invited him to do a task together, and he unconsciously had a surprise on his face, and agreed without thinking about it: "Yes, I have time." ”

The casual on the side immediately stared at Suixin, no, how did he remember that someone before coming to the restaurant said that he would guard in the book town, what made him let go of his hands and feet and do it boldly, and now he actually ······ Sure enough, the heavy color is light on the subordinates.

Seeing this, Midsummer directly shared the task with him: "We'll let you know when we start working." ”

"Okay." Look at the tasks lying in the taskbar as if you can't get enough of them.

······

After leaving in the middle of summer, only Summer, Nanmu and Limu were left in the inn room.

Several people looked at each other for a while, and finally Nanmu asked, "Then what should we do now?" "It seems that he still wants to follow the middle of summer.

Summer glanced at him: "Do the task." "Didn't I see that the little sister just used this as an excuse, why don't you hurry up and find out Shuheng?

"But." Nanmu wanted to struggle again, but he was directly suppressed by the summer.

Looking at Xia Xia, who was the first to walk out of the door, Nanmu touched his cheek and muttered, "Why do I feel that my eldest brother looks at me so much, so disgusted?" ”

Limu happened to be walking aside, and when he heard Nanmu's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and silently vomited in his heart: I just knew!

······

"Is it almost there?" Midsummer looked at the casual leader in front of him and asked.

Just when he casually suggested that he also help to see if he could go to the academy to find it, he inadvertently reminded Sheng Xia that she seemed to have someone to ask.

"Who?" Curious, he couldn't remember what kind of people he knew in Book Town in the middle of summer.

"It's the son of the uncle and aunt who helped in the pharmacy, and the aunt asked me to come to the book town to see him, but I've been busy these days, and I haven't gone yet." Midsummer explained.

So now a few people appear on the source of the book.

"It's almost there, it's just ahead, this path I stumbled up, just turn another corner to get there." This is the route he has only figured out in a few days of shuttling through the book town, and it is absolutely fine.

In fact, as soon as they turned the corner, everyone saw a small courtyard in front of them.

22 Shuyuan Road.

Midsummer nodded affirmatively.

casually stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, a response came from inside: "Here it is." ”

The door was opened, and it was a middle-aged man, he looked at the three people standing at the door, and was surprised for a second before politely asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Sheng Xia stepped forward and saluted slightly: "Hello, may I ask if He Qiming lives here?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Midsummer slightly before asking, "Are you him?" ”

"It was his mother who asked me to come and see him." Sheng Xia explained with a smile, and took out a letter from his backpack and handed it to the man: "This is his mother's letter, please hand it to him." ”

The man took the letter and scanned it for a second: "Please wait. After saying that, he closed the door slightly before turning and entering the inner room.

In the middle of summer, several people looked at each other.

casually was a little speechless, "Why do you feel as if you're guarding against us?" ”

"Let's wait and see." Midsummer also felt this way, although the man was very polite, but his every move was vigilant.

However, she still calmed down casually and calmed him down.

He looked at the door with only a slight gap, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Soon, the door was opened again, this time by a young man, dressed in a Confucian robe, with a slender figure and a book in his hand, as if he had arrived in a hurry with news.

He glanced at Midsummer, and immediately smiled slightly: "You are Midsummer, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in." After saying that, he turned his body sideways, so that Midsummer could let them in.

The inside of this small courtyard is not as small as it seems from the outside, on the contrary, there are already about 10 rooms in the middle of summer.

He Qiming led the group of midsummer all the way inside, and occasionally met a few students who were also wearing Confucian shirts on the way, and they hurriedly separated after greeting each other.

"You may be seated." He Qiming invited a few people to sit down and poured them a cup of tea.

He looked at Midsummer with a curious look on his face, and explained with a smile: "My mother wrote a few days ago, saying that a girl would come to me and let me take good care of it, but I didn't expect to wait for half a month. ”

"Lady also wrote to you?" Midsummer was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to even arrange this.

"Yes, my mother also said that thanks to you, she and her father are now useful." He Qiming obviously also saw that his parents were different from before, and his life was happier.

"Where, thank you uncle and aunt for being willing to help me." Midsummer doesn't dare to take credit.

"Did you just arrive today? Found a place to live? How can I help? He Qiming was very enthusiastic.

Sheng Xia replied one by one, and finally said, "We came here today to ask you for help?" ”

"What's the matter? I'll help if I can. He Qiming looked at Midsummer with a sincere face.

"We want to ask if there is a person named Shu Heng in your academy?" Midsummer didn't beat around the bush and directly raised his own questions.

"Shuheng?" He Qiming frowned slightly, and after a while, he said slightly apologetic: "No, we don't have this person in the academy." ”

Midsummer asked unrelentingly: "Is there a surname Shu or a name with Heng?" ”

"There are no surnames, but there are those with Heng in their names, and there are a few of my classmates." He Qiming said something and did not hide it in the slightest.

Midsummer didn't expect this to be the result, although the scope was reduced, but it was also an old needle in the sea, and I couldn't help frowning slightly.

She was about to ask about those classmates, and she said casually: "I don't know if the students I just met are your classmates?" ”

He Qiming Yaoyaotou: "No, those are students from other academies. ”

Midsummer was slightly stunned, but I didn't expect it to be not, isn't that here?

Immediately, as if she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly looked at her heart.

Suixin has always paid attention to Midsummer, so naturally he didn't miss the surprise in her eyes and the look in his eyes at this moment.

He didn't hesitate, and quickly put forward the request: "I wonder if you can ask those students for help, is there a person named Shuheng in their academy?" ”

He Qiming was stunned, he didn't expect them to make such a request, it seems that Shuheng must be very important to them, he thought for a while, and finally agreed.

"Then please wait here for a while, I'll ask."

"Thank you!"

He Qiming didn't come back until half an hour later, during this time, they were all waiting quietly in the room in the middle of summer, and they didn't go out to hang out, obviously the middle-aged man's behavior left a deep impression on them at the beginning.

"How?" As soon as he saw He Qiming coming back, Midsummer couldn't wait to ask, his eyes flashing with infinite anticipation.

He Qiming's face was slightly embarrassed, obviously knowing that what he was about to say would disappoint Midsummer.

As soon as he saw He Qiming's expression, Midsummer knew that there was no hope, and the fact was the same.

"I'm sorry, they said the same situation as me, no one has a surname, but there are a few with Heng in their name."

Sheng Xia hurriedly shook his head: "Don't be sorry, it's not your fault, on the contrary, we have to thank you." ”

"I don't know if all the academies in the town have students living here." He patted Midsummer's shoulder casually, looked at He Qiming and asked.

"It's all here."

Midsummer wondered: "Every academy has it?" Is it such a coincidence, she said silently in her heart.

"Huh!" He Qiming explained with a smile: "You don't know, in fact, our small courtyard is also called the preparatory student courtyard of Shuyuan Academy, and every student here is the first of their respective academies. At this, he had a bit of pride on his face.

Midsummer suddenly realized, no wonder, and at the same time, I vaguely understood why the middle-aged man who had just opened the door was slightly guarded, but it wasn't to be guarded, who let the people live here are the "treasures" of various colleges.

However, she looked at He Qiming slightly, she didn't expect his knowledge to be so good, and the eldest lady said that she was just reading a book here, which was too modest.

Suddenly, Sheng Xia seemed to think of something: "Is there any other way for your academy to enroll students other than regular admission?" ”

He Qiming was slightly surprised: "Midsummer girls also want to go to school?" ”

"It's not me, it's my friend." Midsummer said and pointed to his heart.

"Yes, there is, but it's much more difficult than regular enrollment." Anyone who has been in Shuzhen for a while knows that in fact, each academy has a special entrance examination, which is specially prepared for those students who are highly knowledgeable but do not follow common sense.

Midsummer immediately glanced at Xinxin, and then happily asked, "What is it?" ”

"It's a couplet at the back door of the academy, as long as you can answer it, you can enter the academy and become a student of the academy."

He Qiming obviously saw that after hearing his words, Sheng Xia's eyes were shining like starlight: "If Miss Sheng Xia is interested, you can try it, you can do it at any time." ”

"Thank you!" Midsummer smiled widely.
