085 boudoir (second watch)

Chu Yunmu wanted to brag about his bravery again, but Mrs. Tai rushed to tell him what had happened.

Mrs. Tai hugged Chu Yunmu distressedly, and she couldn't wait to call her heart baby twice.

Chu Lingyu's gaze looked back and forth between Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianling, and like the Liu family, he also had dissatisfaction in his heart, and he also wanted to reason with Mrs. Tai and Changfang.

The question is......

Thinking of something, Chu Lingyu temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then signaled his wife with his eyes not to be impatient.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Ah Xiao, Ah Yu, why did you two come back so late today?" ”

Chu Lingyu waited for Mrs. Tai to ask, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Mother, it's about to be the annual Guozijian enrollment, and I discussed with my eldest brother that Brother Yi and Brother Yun are both old, so you can try it." ”

The Yi brother that Chu Lingyu said refers to Chu Lingxiao's eldest son, Chu Yunyi.

Chu Lingxiao bowed slightly, "The two of them are almost twelve years old, so they can go to Guozijian to practice." ”

Unlike the previous dynasty, which emphasized literature and light martial arts, the Great Qi Dynasty also attached great importance to civil and military affairs because of Nan Hao's eyesight, and it was because Guozijian not only recruited those children, talents, and scholars, but also recruited martial arts.

Guozijian can be said to be the first school in Daqi, if you want to enter Guozijian, you must not only pass the exam, but also need a letter of recommendation.

Liu's eyes also lit up. She also understood the reason why Chu Lingyu asked her to be a little restless, Chu Yunchen wanted to get a letter of recommendation, and she inevitably needed to contribute from the long room.

There are only a few places in the country every year, and they not only have to compete with the children of the noble courtiers in the capital, but also compete with the children of other scholars from all over the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a thousand.

But once he entered the Guozi Prison, it was equivalent to stepping into the court hall with one foot, and in the future, Wen Sheng would take the Wen Ju exam, and the Wu Sheng would take the Wu Ju exam, and seven or eight out of ten would be able to take the Chinese Wujin Warrior exam.

When they come to Japan to become officials in the court, their classmates in the country are not only colleagues in the court, but also can become a kind of help.

Mrs. Tai was also in high spirits, and thought that this idea was good, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi is about to arrive in Beijing, just in time." ”

In mid-February, the Jiang family handed over the news that Mrs. Jiang's brother, Mrs. Tai, was sick, Mrs. Tai was worried about her brother, and the Chu Lingxiao brothers had errands and could not go to Jiang's house, so Chu Yunyi went to Yuzhou to visit Mrs. Jiang, and he did not return to Beijing until Mrs. Jiang recovered. It's been three months since I left.

Chu Qianchen was silently drinking tea on the side.

When she was reborn, Chu Yunyi had already set off for Yuzhou, from her previous life to the present, she had not seen Chu Yunyi for many, many years, and even his appearance had become blurred in the long river of memory.

Chu Qianchen was not deeply impressed by this younger brother of the same father and mother, and only vaguely remembered that when she was a child, she also played with him, he followed her like his own little tail and shouted her sister, and then I didn't know what happened, Aunt Jiang didn't let her take him to play, it seemed to be her four or five o'clock, and she couldn't remember it for a long time.

After experiencing those thrilling things in his previous life, the thirteen years of the Hou Mansion have become insignificant, grandmother, father, aunt, and second brother...... Most of her blood relatives are like strangers to her.

Not to mention the prince, even if it is with Mo Shen and Xue Feng playing them, they can't be compared.

Chu Qianchen drank tea by himself, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Her composure contrasts sharply with the hustle and bustle around her.

The more the mother and son talked, the more lively it became, and Mrs. Tai subconsciously looked at the Shen family, wanting the Shen family to help find her mother's family.

For the Hou Mansion, it is not difficult to get a letter of recommendation to participate in the Guozijian entrance examination, but if the Mu Guogong Mansion comes forward, it may be possible to let the two children directly enter the Guozijian without the exam.

Every year, Guozijian has so many places that are exempted from the examination, and sometimes they are geniuses who become famous at a young age, such as Su Hongfei, the only liberal arts champion in the history of Daqi who has won Xiao Sanyuan and ******; Sometimes it is a talent recommended by a great Confucian celebrity; Sometimes it's the emperor's favor......

Shen lowered his eyes and drank tea to himself, as if he didn't feel Mrs. Tai's eyes at all.

Mrs. Tai's face was a little darker, if it was in the past, she could naturally put on the posture of her mother-in-law to discuss with the Shen family, but for most of the month, she has been cold to the Shen family, and now let her bow her head and beg the Shen family, she really can't say it.

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but give Chu Lingxiao a look, but Chu Lingxiao also didn't want to beg the Shen family, so she just didn't understand.

He didn't think that the Mu Guogong Mansion had the ability to directly send two children to the Guozi Prison, otherwise, why would the children of the Mu Guogong Mansion take the exam by themselves!

Chu Lingxiao already had a plan in his heart, so he said, "Mother, I plan to invite Mr. Wen and Master Wu to come back for the two children to strengthen their homework. ”

Just as the martial arts have to be examined, Guozijian's martial arts exam also has a literary test, and those who don't know one of the big characters will definitely not be able to pass the entrance exam.

Chu Lingyu and Liu also echoed in unison, this gentleman who said that clan studies was just a showman, and he didn't know anything about the art of war or anything, so it was best to ask a martial artist to give guidance......

Seeing that the topic had all turned to Guozijian's entrance exam, Chu Qianling's veiled lips were tightly pursed together, and his fingers couldn't stop twisting.

Mrs. Tai looked at the two sons and discussed, but after all, she still didn't say anything to ask the Shen family to help.

They talked lively, and Chu Qianchen was there drinking tea, eating plums, and occasionally feeding Chu Yunmu plums, and he couldn't listen to anything to them.

On the contrary, it was Chu Yunmu, who listened very attentively.

He felt that he would also be admitted to the Guozijian exam in the future, and it was best to prepare a few years in advance.

He listened attentively, and whatever Chu Qianchen gave him, he ate, like a squirrel holding food in both hands, with a bulging mouth.

Chu Qianchen just looked at him like this, and he felt warm in his heart, thinking about going to give Chu Yunmu a better and more convenient bow, also to avoid today's incident again.

She remembered that the prince said that there was a shop in the capital that was a century-old bow-making shop, and the Jurchen bow that the prince gave her back then was also played there.

Simply, she gave herself and Mu Ge'er a bow.

By the way, she'll have to get a couple of knives.

Although there are some commonly used knives on the market, such as sore-opening knives, flat-edged knives, moon-bladed knives, scissors, tweezers, etc., she still feels that these knives are not fine and sharp enough.

She was going to make some improvements to the existing knife, which had to be thinner and lighter, thinner than a razor; To be sharp, you must be able to blow and break hair; Be small, smaller than a dagger, so that she can nimbly hold it between her fingers and turn it over and over again, like the size of a leaf card.

Moreover, it should be easy to use, and at the same time the use of knives such as the sore-opening knife, the flat-edged knife, and the moon-bladed knife, so that she can disembowel the prince and take out the arrow as quickly as possible, so as to minimize the wound and minimize the trauma.

It's about Gu Jue, she must not make a mistake.

Since her rebirth, she has drawn several drawings, but she feels that they are a little close.

After Chu Qianchen returned to Wanyan Courtyard, she had dinner first, and then locked up in the small study with Amber, and she drew several drawings of knives.

The desk was messy, and all kinds of sore-opening knives, flat-edged knives, moon-bladed knives, triangular needles, razors, daggers, flying knives, leaf cards, etc. were placed on a table.

Outside, the sun had set, and the sky was a thick gray-blue.

Amber lit a sheep's horn palace lamp on the side of the case, and the candle flame swayed slightly in the lampshade as thin as a cicada's wings, sprinkling a faint luster on Chu Qianchen's sideburns.

Chu Qianchen grabbed a leaf card in her hand, and the leaf card flexibly tossed and turned between her white and slender fingers.

Her movements are light and agile, and the bamboo leaf plaque sets off her slender fingers as if they were carved from mutton fat jade, which is indescribably beautiful.

Amber watched from the sidelines, almost dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say, "Girl, your hands are so nimble!" ”

Amber's words come from the heart, and her own girl's hands not only write good handwriting, but also sword dance, archery, acupuncture, medicine, piano, painting, etc., all of which are understandable.

Amber often thinks it's incredible, how can a girl understand so much by such a small person?!

The leaf card turned around in Chu Qianchen's hand again, and then fell into her palm, she held it and said casually: "What is this." ”

Chu Qianchen's words are also from the heart.

The prince's hands are far more flexible than hers, and he used to teach her to play leaf cards, pai gow, and dice, and show her how those dealers cheat. He said that knowing how to cheat so as not to be scammed, and playing cards can train the dexterity of his fingers.

Yes!

Chu Qianchen stroked his palm suddenly, and his pupils lit up.

The prince is much more powerful than her, although the prince does not know medical books, but his understanding of swords and weapons is far beyond her.

She can ask the prince!

But......

Soon, her eyes dimmed a little more, and she looked out the window at the southern sky.

However, when will the prince come back?!

Before the prince returned to Beijing, she could only rely on herself.

Chu Qianchen picked up the wolf pen again, and continued to draw on the rice paper, drawing knives, drawing bows, drawing one after another......

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the moon is on the willow tops.

The gong sounded on the first watch.

The gongs of the two watches sounded.

……

Chu Qianchen didn't realize it, just focused on drawing.

The candle flame burned silently in the lampshade, and the night breeze blew in through the window, and the candle flame shook lightly twice.

The small study was flickering and dark.

Chu Qianchen raised her head and was hesitating whether to close the window, but saw a moon-white figure outside the window jumping down from the tree and falling silently outside her window.

Chu Qianchen's eyes widened slightly, watching the other party flexibly come in through the window.

It's Gu Jue.

He was wearing a moon-white lapel beard suit, a jade belt around his waist, and short boots on his feet, which made his figure long and thin.

The orange-yellow candle flame shrouded softly over his face, hazy, softening his originally cold face.
