Winter.

This winter, for Shi Qingqian, came very slowly.

Because she knew that as soon as the winter passed, the day when Shen Shu would return to Beijing was getting closer and closer.

Shi Qingqian now looks forward to tomorrow as soon as he wakes up every morning. Day after day, it's like this, so the days are getting slower and slower. Even after a few days of winter banquets, she couldn't get excited at all.

This winter banquet is held every year, but in the past few years since Shen Shu left, Shi Qingqian has never been carefully prepared for such a banquet.

After all, in terms of poetry, Shi Qingqian took the crested hairpin; In music, she once reconciled with Shen Shu; In terms of medical skills, she is now one of the best healers. The first-ranked unicorn talent in the capital is gone, and she, the 'second-ranked' peerless talent, will naturally be alone and defeated.

But in fact, Shi Qingqian knew that she didn't have the heart to toss herself because Shen Shu was gone. Today, she has thoroughly understood what it means to be a 'woman who pleases herself'.

There had just been a heavy snowfall that day, Shi Qingqian was sitting at home without anything, thinking that if she continued to see such a snow scene, she would be about to suffer from snow blindness, so she decided to go to the hospital to take a look. Even if he knew that the hospital would definitely not need her help now.

Just do it, Shi Qingqian took Xue Ying out of the door together. Thinking of the snow outside, it was not easy for the carriage to walk, so I decided to walk on foot.

Just as the two of them passed by the east gate of the palace, they suddenly heard a noisy noise coming from the front of the gate that used to be quiet, and Shi Qingqian stopped and looked over curiously.

I saw a young man who looked like a scholar, his clothes were in tatters, and the thickness was completely disproportionate to the weather in this cold winter, which made people feel their legs tremble when they looked at it.

He seemed to want to break in, but was violently pushed out by two guards guarding the door, and fell to the ground in embarrassment because of unsteadiness on his feet.

"A stinky beggar dares to learn from others to play the fold? With this spare time, you might as well go out on the street and ask for warm clothes! One of the guards scolded mercilessly and impatiently, "Get out of here!" The palace is not a place for you to go wild casually! ”

Saying this, the guard threw out the so-called 'Song', and the snow was on the ground, and the Songfu just slipped to Shi Qingqian's feet.

Shi Qingqian curiously picked up the tattered booklet from the ground, and when he opened it at first glance, he felt that the color of the ink was light, and it was mixed with water at a glance, so the author must be very poor.

took a closer look, but I was surprised and delighted-

I saw that the font on the top of the book was vigorous and powerful, and it was rare to be extremely neat, and it was a standard fly-headed small letter, but I could see that the author's strokes and drawings were full of passion, and from the faint ink strokes, I could clearly feel the passionate emotions from the author.

It was precisely because this font was so beautiful that Shi Qingqian couldn't help but want to bury his head in reading.

At this time, the guards and the scholar-like person who had just gotten up noticed Shi Qingqian, and the guards recognized it at a glance, and the two hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Isn't this the Lord of Baoying County?" Are you planning to enter the palace? ”

However, the two of them did not hear Shi Qingqian's response.

Shi Qingqian was concentrating on looking at the fold in his hand, and he didn't care about anything else. The two guards, you look at me, I look at you, I only feel a little embarrassed, they are not leaving, nor are they staying.

The scholar sighed and stepped forward, thinking about how such a little girl could understand what he wrote, and when he was about to reach out and withdraw his fold from her hand, he saw that she was serious and couldn't bear to be so cruel. Xindao, anyway, the emperor can't see it, and he is not in a hurry for this moment, so he let Shi Qingqian hold it and look at it.

Shi Qing stood firmly in place, read all the strategies in one go, and then raised his head.

With excitement in her eyes, she looked at the man opposite and asked, "This son, did you write this policy?" ”

"It's Xiaosheng." Although the scholar didn't recognize any 'Baoying County Lord', he could tell from Shi Qingqian's clothes that she must be the eldest lady of a rich and noble family.

"Childe writes so well!" Shi Qingqian excitedly praised, "Last year's great drought in the north of the Yangtze River, the imperial court has not had a good solution, in this policy discussion not only wrote a management plan for the great drought in the north of the Yangtze River, but also led to the influx of refugees in the capital this year...... Although I don't have much research on the theory of countermeasures, I am sure that Childe's theories are definitely top-notch! ”

Listening to this, the scholar's eyes lit up, and he was surprised and delighted, and said, "The girl is actually a scholar? Is he so familiar with the affairs of the court? ”

Shi Qingqian smiled and shook his head, "It's not that I'm familiar with it, it's just that my father and brother are all working in the court, and I have to be familiar with it all day long." ”

The scholar nodded enviously, "I'll just say that the girl is extraordinary, it turned out to be from a bureaucratic family, presumably the girl's father and brother must also be rare talents in the court." ”

The scholar also thought that the girl in front of him had become the county lord at such a young age, and she must be a relative of the royal family, but seeing that she was still walking by herself on a snowy day, and only brought a maid, he had to guess what kind of daughter of a petty official's family was.

Shi Qingqian looked the scholar up and down: his hair was messy, the stubble on his face was protruding, and his clothes were tattered, but fortunately, he was still neat, but Shi Qingqian had to say that calling him a 'scholar' was already a great respect, and it was not an exaggeration for the guards to call him a 'beggar'.

She smiled lightly and asked, "What is Childe's surname?" Where did it come from? Where can you stay in the capital? ”

"Xiaosheng is from Gusu, his cheap name is Ji Wenyu, and he is a descendant of the Gusu Ji family...... It's a pity that the family is in the middle of the road, and I have no choice but to go to the capital to ask for a livelihood. After Ji Wenyu said this, he let out a long sigh, full of helplessness and sadness.

"In that case, why don't you stay in my house for a while?" Shi Qingqian said, when she saw the awkward look in Ji Wenyu's eyes, she waved her hand cleanly and explained, "Don't misunderstand, childe, this is definitely not charity." It's because Childe's strategy is too well written, and if he can enter the court, he must be able to make great progress. I am also for the sake of my father, he loves talents the most in his life, and it is impossible to watch a talent like Gongzi be buried! ”

"Entering the court? Forget it...... Xiaosheng is not from the family of the eunuchs, where is the opportunity......" Ji Wenyu sighed, "I was thinking, if the strategy can be seen by the emperor, maybe he can ask for a small job, at least his stomach will not starve." The girl's kindness, Xiaosheng understood it......"
