From the Mid-Autumn Festival to Chongyang, Ye Rou found that Mr. Shao didn't seem to like to go out very much.

When the courtyard gate of Fushunfang was opened, the public image of this family was that of a young man who made a living by being a Langzhong and a private school teacher, with a pair of domestic servants, studying hard in the capital, preparing to participate in the prefectural examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination, and went towards the ultimate goal of Zhu Zijia.

This is also the ideal of most white-clothed scholars in this era.

Recently, the good news that the neighbors learned was that Mr. Shao, who was gentle, kind, and handsome but celibate, finally passed the first hurdle of the imperial examination: the Liberation Examination.

In the triple examination of the imperial examination of the imperial examination of the national dynasty, in the capital city of Kaifeng, the "Fa Xie Examination" is also called the "Fu Examination".

Not surprisingly, in the first month of next year, Mr. Shao will enter the Ministry of Rites Tribute Academy and participate in the second round of examinations - the provincial examination. And if his ancestors blessed him and he played well, then, eventually, he would be able to participate in the temple examination.

Shao Qing, who passed the government examination, in addition to continuing to enlighten the children in the private school, spent most of his time studying in the room.

Ye Rou was actually happy.

The Yao family, who had been bothering her mind before, according to her younger brother, became more and more busy doing business after working as an errand in the palace, thinking that after all, she was full of pigs and full of business experience, and Xiao Qing's brother couldn't go with her in the end.

Brother Xiao Qing doesn't go out, which means at least two things, one is that the Yao family seems to be gradually moving away from his heart, and the other is that he is not easy to contact the beautiful women in Kaifeng City.

At night, when Ye Rou served the sweet soup, she gently persuaded Shao Qing: "Sir, rest, if the matter of the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard is completed, and the moon has not arrived, we can return to Yanjing City, without Xiao Linya's invitation, the Holy Lord will naturally confer a knighthood on you, where do you still need to participate in the imperial examination of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Shao Qing explained: "What if the matter of the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard is not successful? Then I have to try another way, as long as I can be in the Southern Dynasty Jinshi and the first, I will have the opportunity to get an official and a half-job, and over time, I can always get the construction of the magic arm crossbow. ”

Ye Rou hurriedly picked up: "That's the same, Lu Gang and I can still help Mr. ”

Shao Qing glanced at the dim sum on the table: "This is, pear soup?" ”

Ye Rou smiled and said: "I cut the autumn pear and taro into small grains and boiled them, and I also put the Liangzhou wolfberry sent by Hu Shang the day before yesterday." ”

"Taro? How did you come up with the idea of putting this? ”

"It was taught by Yang Zuotou of the Bow and Crossbow Academy. He said that every time before and after Chongyang, Kaifeng people would use taro, yam and autumn pear to boil soup and drink. ”

"Once upon a time?" Shao Qing sensitively grasped these two words.

Ye Rou's smile changed from warmth to ridicule: "That was when they were young and loving." Later, Yang Zuotou's Yue's family entrusted him with a few relationships to allow him to enter the palace before he ran errands, but he was determined to stay in the ordnance supervisor to make bows and crossbows, and he had not made a name for himself for many years. His wife was at odds with him. ”

After Ye Rou finished speaking, her eyes stared at Shao Qing with glittering eyes.

When Shao Qing, who was in deep thought, finally thought of looking up at her, Ye Rou's gaze showed the intention of dodging at the right time, and her cheeks turned red.

This is already a skill that she has practiced for a long time, and before, every time she practiced, she would treat Yang Yu opposite as Xiao Qing's brother.

Shao Qing said indifferently: "So, this Yang Yu has already begun to tell you about the bitterness in his heart?" ”

Ye Rou was slightly proud: "Men may not always be as solid as a rock." He was bitter in his heart, thinking that he was sympathetic to me, so he complained to me and to me. The day before yesterday, I made him this sweet soup with autumn pear taro according to what he said, and he drank and drank it, and suddenly came to grab my hand. But, but I dodged it. ”

Shao Qing didn't want to hear these details that tried to make him pity and distressed.

The woman in front of her never understood that he Shao Qing only liked to report to her if he had something to say.

Shao Qing got up and pulled out a book from the corner of the bookshelf.

"Dream Creek Writings" borrowed from the Shen family.

He turned to the page that he had read many times: "In Xining, Li Dingxian is biased towards a crossbow." Like a bow and dry stirrups. With the stirrup from the ground and open it, shoot 300 steps, can be re-pierced in the hole, called the 'god arm bow', the most sharp weapon. Li Ding's party Xiang Qiang chieftain, surrendered to the imperial court, the official died in the defense regiment, and all the sons were brave in the west. ”

Ye Rou said: "Sir, in this paragraph, Yang Yu told me another situation. It is said that the old craftsmen in their courtyard said that it was not Li Ding, the leader of the party, who offered the crossbow of the gods, but a Han man named Li Hong. Then Li Hong's whole family was slaughtered by the Xia people, so he ruthlessly wanted to offer this bow and crossbow to the imperial court. ”

She paused, seemed to think of an interesting moment, and said: "Yang Yu said this, because the people around him were listening, he suddenly showed a look of resentment, and said, the lack of combat strength of the Song army is insufficient, and it is not once or twice to teach the Xia people to slaughter the city, and when my dynasty is not as good as the Han and Tang dynasties in side affairs, what is there to hide." Another way is that there are many good news at the border pass, but they are all border generals colluding with courtiers and making false military achievements. Sir, I didn't expect that this little one is still a little bloody. ”

Shao Qing glanced at her coldly: "Ye Rou, I have already said that there are many people in the south, although they are not rich and famous, but they are not idle people. ”

Ye Rou obediently said "yes".

She has made up her mind that she will never show her childhood habit of arguing with Brother Xiao as she did when she first came.

No matter how he taught, he obediently listened to it. Whatever he tells him to do, he does it twice as well.

Ye Rou believes that men in the world still have commonalities.

Since a well-informed and well-qualified man like Yang Yu can disarm himself, then Brother Xiao may not be a piece of ice.

Shao Qing pointed to the sentence in the book, "Stirrups are cast like a bow, and stirrups are placed at a distance from the ground", and said to Ye Rou: "Shen Jingluo led the military supervision of the imperial court back then, and also fought the Western Xia people, but after all, it involved the secrets of the military armament of the national dynasty, and he only said a few words in this book, only stating the origin and horror of the divine arm crossbow. Only this sentence has a hint of it, you have been a cook in the bow and crossbow courtyard for all these days, and when you deliver food to the warsmiths, you can see similar bamboo and wood parts? ”

Ye Rou recalled: "Yes, Yang Yu tried to pull half of the mechanism made by the craftsmen in the courtyard several times, and he had to hold the copper stirrup vertically down before he could load the crossbow arrows. ”

"Okay, pretend to be curious and ask him, if that's part of the Divine Arm Crossbow, then find a way to see which room in the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard can sharpen the Divine Arm Crossbow. To create a French style, it should be there. ”

Ye Rou finally pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Shizi, I already have an idea. ”

She was so proud that she blurted out the word "son" again.

But this time, Shao Qing didn't correct her.

After listening to Ye Rou's plan, Shao Qing closed his eyes and thought deeply, opened his eyes after a while, and said slowly: "It's up to you, go and arrange it." ”

He picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of autumn pear taro soup, and stretched out his brows, which he had always twisted.

"It's really sweet and moisturizing." Shao Qing praised sincerely, "Don't put yogurt, it's good." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Rou, no longer stingy with a smile.

Ye Rou felt that the moment she was wrapped in a smile, her heart melted.
