024 Sleep in the same bed and enter the palace of the court
After eating enough, Wu You saw that Sima Kailang had not returned for a long time, so he was led back to the room by his buddy.
"Childe, please come in." The man pushed open a hollow carved wooden pear door. I saw that the four walls are exquisitely clear, the wall is hung with Qingqi wall bottles and cangrun picture scrolls, there is a lighting lampstand in three to five steps, the brocade cage gauze cover, the gold color pearl, even the bricks stepped on the ground, it is also smooth as ink jade.
The bookshelf on the left is filled with scrolls, and behind the shelf screen on the right is a separate bathroom.
The bathroom is covered with white-glazed tiles, and there is an iron fireplace for boiling water on the back wall of the bathroom, and hot water is brought into the room with copper pipes, like a small hot spring.
"Childe, the luggage has been put in the closet for you. The water is set for you, and if you want to add water, open the hanging pot on the wall. In the recess in front of the bath, there are soaphorns and porphylls, and in a sealed wooden box there is soap powder, soak a packet in water, and if there is any other command, pull the bell, and someone will come immediately. ”
"There's Brother Lao."
After the guy went out, Wu You locked the door, took out his clothes and walked to the bathroom. She opened the sealed wooden box, which contained ten packets of soap powder, she picked up one and smelled it, with a smell of wormwood and safflower, which can be used to soak in the bath to relieve fatigue, she poured a packet into the water, and the air was filled with a faint smell of herbs.
Wu You took off her clothes, wet her hair, smeared it with soaphorns, and rubbed it carefully, God knows that these days she is in a hurry, and she lives in a post house, and the conditions are as bad as a horse ring, her head has not been washed for at least eight days, and she feels like she is about to go rancid.
After opening the hanging pot and rinsing her hair, she stretched out her toes and probed into the water, the water temperature was just right, she no longer hesitated, and stepped in, the moment her whole body was immersed in the water, it was so comfortable that it seemed that the pores of her whole body were opened. It was definitely the most comfortable bath she'd ever taken in her life!
Just as Wu You was soaking in the water and drowsy, there was a sudden movement outside the door: "Wu You, I'm back, open the door, why did you lock the door?" ”
Hearing Sima Ming's cheerful voice, Wu You suddenly woke up, she quickly got up from the bath, and responded loudly: "Here, you wait a minute, I'll open the door for you right away!" ”
She grabbed the carved hanger and wiped it with a silk scarf, put on her clothes and pants, and accidentally knocked the shelf because of nervousness, Wu You held back the pain and staggered over to open the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Sima Kailang looked at Wu You's embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly dodged into the house and closed the door.
"It's okay, I just accidentally bumped my foot." Wu You eased his breath.
"Knock it down, let me see." Sima Kailang picked up Wu You and walked to the bed.
"No, no, no, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Wu You was taken aback and struggled to get off the ground.
"Don't move!" Sima Kailang said in a deep voice: "If you move again, I will call someone to watch you." ”
When Wu You heard this, he immediately became honest.
Sima Kailang gently put her on the bed, and opened her robe a little.
"It's gone, it's the calf that knocks it down!" Seeing this, Wu You hurriedly pressed the robe on his thighs with both hands to stop him from continuing to explore.
Sima Kailang held her calf and raised it slightly, only to see a patch of blue and black on her fair skin, slightly oozing blood. Sima Kailang took out a glass rouge box from his arms, unscrewed it, and a cool medicinal fragrance came to his nose.
"Iron Harrier, Stone Flower Seed... Big brother, show me this plaster. When Wu You heard this smell, he became curious, what Sima Kailang could bring on his body must be a good thing.
"Sit down." Sima Kailang dug out a piece of ointment from the box, rubbed it on her calf without hesitation, and threw the box containing the medicine onto the brocade quilt beside Wu You.
"Tap, it hurts, it hurts..." finally relieved his breath, and was pressed by Sima Kailang, Wu You felt that his leg hurt terribly.
"You deserve to die, isn't this leg yours, why are you so cruel to it." Although he spoke ill of him, Sima Kailang's movements were still lighter. "If you rub the bruises like this, you will get better quickly."
"Thank you, big brother, big brother is the best!" Wu Youle picked up the box and opened it for a closer look.
Sima Kailang looked at her well-behaved, angry and funny. I saw her stretch out her fingers, twist a little ointment and sniff it on the tip of her nose, the neckline was slightly open because of the struggle, the long black hair that was not tied up moistened the placket, and the blue bed clothes revealed a touch of dark color.
Sima Kailang suddenly felt a little dry, looked away, and the kneading action gradually turned into rubbing. Wu You's skin is white and shiny, his calves are slender and well-proportioned, his ankles are smooth, and his toes are crystal clear, like tender lotus root buds.
Sima Kailang couldn't help but put his hand at her feet and compared, and his hand was even bigger than her feet!
"Brother, what are you doing?" Wu You found that Sima Kailang was not moving, and when he looked up, he was staring at his feet with deep eyes.
Sima Kailang coughed lightly twice and said, "I just ate wine, and I'm a little thirsty." ”
Wu You retracted his feet into his robe, sniffed suspiciously, where was the smell of wine: "Brother, I see that you have coughed several times today, is it high in autumn and dry, lack of lung qi, usually drink more water." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." In order to hide the heat in his body, Sima Kailang drank half a pot of water and planned to take a shower.
"Eh, I haven't changed the bath water yet." Seeing this, Wu You hurriedly said.
Sima Kailang paused, flashed into the bathroom with more brisk steps, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, we are brothers, let alone washing the same basin of water, even drinking the same glass of water is no problem." ”
Yun Shen didn't know where to go, and when Sima Kailang walked out of the bathroom, it was already late at night. Wu You was half-leaning on the head of the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, and his half-wet hair was scattered on the pillow, drowsy.
"Sit down here, I'll dry your hair." Sima Kailang asked Wu You to sit on the eaves of the bed, and brought a cloth to dry her hair. Wait until your hair is dry, then pick up a comb and comb it carefully.
Wu You only felt that his scalp was numb, and he was extremely comfortable: "Brother, your skills are so good, who have you practiced before?" ”
"Don't be cheap and behave, you are the first one who can let me serve by myself, even my mother does not have this treatment." Sima smiled cheerfully, his eyes becoming softer unconsciously. "Dry hair, sleep."
Wu You nodded, retracted into the quilt with his hands and neck, and the whole person rolled into a ball, revealing only two dark eyes: "Good night, brother." ”
After a while, there was a soft snoring in the room, as if he had fallen asleep.
Sima Kailang took off the brocade veil cover with a thin waist and a protruding belly with one hand, and extinguished the light, leaving only a light at the head of the bed slightly illuminated. He leaned on the bed with one hand, turned sideways to look at Wu You's quiet sleeping face, and didn't look away for a long time...
The next morning, Wu You woke up from his sleep and opened his sleepy eyes.
"Wake up."
Looking at the handsome boy beside him who was ready to go, Wu You's eyes widened in fright.
Sima looked at her cheerfully and funny: "I've slept together, what are you still nervous about?"
After being reminded by Sima Kailang, Wu Youcai recalled the events of last night. "What time is it?"
"It's just past the hour."
"Ahh Why don't you wake me up, isn't it time to meet? Wu You hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up. Oops, she was trying to clean up before Sima Kailang got up.
Sima shrugged his shoulders cheerfully and said, "Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake you up." ”
Wu You was thinking hard about what excuse to use to send him out, when suddenly the door was slammed, and Jin Jiaozi's babbling voice came in: "Big brother, are you up?" ”
"It's up." For the first time, Wu You felt that Jin Jiaozi's broken voice was so kind, she turned over and got out of bed, took Sima Kailang's hand and trotted over, and opened the door.
"Wu You, let me tell you, our room..."Before Jin Jiaozi finished speaking, he saw someone being pushed out. Then the door closed again, locked, and was done in one go.
"Big brother, what did you do to him last night?" Jin Jiaozi looked at Sima Kailang beside him with disdain.
"What can I do." Sima Kailang glanced at him lightly.
"Of course it is..."Jin Jiaozi received Sima Kai's eyes, and his eyebrows froze on his face. Do... Do things that care for your brothers. ”
After a while, the door opened again, Wu You cut his hair, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't make people wait for a long time." ”
Seeing this, Jin Jiaozi rolled over like a lump of meat, and said endlessly: "Wu You, you don't know, how comfortable our room is, it's the first time I've seen hot water in the bathroom." I decided, I want to open a house like this when I go back, people can't just have money, they have to be able to enjoy it..."
It wasn't until he arrived at the door of Yangxiao Hall that Jin Jiaozi ended his imagination.
"Let's go early when everyone arrives." Fei Qi said: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the competition, wait for breakfast, go back to the house to pack their luggage, and arrive at Chaowen Mansion before noon to check in." The competition was handed over to Sima Kailang to be fully responsible, and the master brought it in, and the cultivation depended on the individual. ”
Everyone has no objections, Sima Kailang has a noble status and outstanding ability, and it is most suitable for him to lead the team.
After breakfast, everyone packed their luggage and got into the carriage.
About an hour or so they arrived at the door of the Chaowen Mansion, Wu You and the others got out of the car and entered the mansion under the leadership of Fei Qi to check in the paperwork.
"Isn't this Professor Fei, I haven't seen my demeanor for many years." There was already a academy in front of Joyama Academy checking in, and the leader was Mao Xuebo of Jingshi Academy, he saw Fei Qi, stepped forward and said, "Are you leading the team this year, Dean Chang is delayed?" ”
Fei Qi smiled and said: "The dean said that when a young eagle takes off, it always has to go through a cliff fall, and if you want to soar in the air, you must learn to flap your wings desperately. This time, I was in the role of a driver, and they had to rely on themselves to race. ”
Mao Xuebo was taught: "What Dean Chang said is very true. ”
"Xuebo, our check-in procedures are done." The Jingshi student behind him said respectfully.
Mao Xuebo let his figure and introduced: "These ten are my Beijing students, specially selected to participate in this competition, a few years older than you, the master is not allowed to enter and leave the palace, you can take care of each other in it, and communicate with each other." ”
Wu You saw a familiar face among the ten people, and obviously everyone else also found out, and Jin Jiaozi was still squeezing his eyebrows beside him.
It turned out that there was one person in the Jingshi School, who was the leader of the group of young people who had a conflict with Wu You and them in the Heyi Tower yesterday. His real name is Bai Wei, because he was selected as an alternative for the competition, he invited a few friends to celebrate yesterday, but he didn't expect to meet Sima Kailang's group of evil stars, which cost him face. Seeing it today, it made him feel like oil and fidget.
"That's it, don't talk too much, you go first, and we'll come over when we're done." Fei Qi obviously recognized the man, his smile faded, and he said casually.
Sima Kailang walked to the front desk to submit the college paperwork and obtained ten wooden plaques, which were the house numbers they lived in for the next two days.
Walking out of the handling gate, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the Jingshi students who had left also stopped.
"What are you looking at?" Jin Jiaozi stood on tiptoe and said curiously.
"Look at the fan." A good person replied: "Tsk, this foreign woman is different, she still shows her arms and legs in such a cool weather, and she can't take it off in summer." ”
Through the gap, Wu You saw two familiar faces again, it was Prince Iltgol and Princess Israel who provoked the third prince yesterday, and the two of them were followed by a group of servants, holding expensive gift boxes in their hands, and they wanted to go to the Three Princes' Mansion to make amends. Thinking of having suffered such a big loss yesterday, they were angry and didn't fight in one place, looking back and thinking about it calmly, they always felt that it was not such a coincidence, it is rumored that the rivers and lakes of Shenglong Country are rumored to be bone-shrinking and disguise-changing, maybe yesterday's little child was a bone-shrinking and disfigured!
When the princess of Tsarist Russia inadvertently saw Wu You in the crowd, she suddenly added fuel to the fire, and was angry: "What a faceless thing, what are you doing sneakily following us!" ”
Everyone didn't know what happened between Wu You and these two people yesterday, and they were all confused, why did this woman suddenly start to fly.
"Little brother, what is this woman yelling about?" Seeing her glaring angrily, Jin Jiaozi pointed in their direction and asked.
"Maybe it's dawn, so let's come out and sing." Wu You replied with a calm expression.
Jin Jiaozi secretly gave a thumbs up: Wu You's scolding tricks are high, and he said that people are chickens without dirty words.
Someone heard Wu You's extraneous voice, and couldn't help laughing, combined with the gorgeous costumes on the princess of Tsarist Russia, isn't it like...
Although the princess of Tsarist Russia didn't know what they were laughing at, she was grabbed by the wrist by Prince Iltgor, his eyes swept over the crowd, he made up his mind, whispered a few words to the princess, and then ended the farce and left.
"The arrogance of this Rong country is getting higher and higher." Mao Xuebo shook his head and sighed lightly.
"I can't pull out the myself, and I complain about the smell of the." Jin Jiaozi whispered to Wu You: "As long as he is tough enough, no matter whether he is arrogant or not, can the light of fireflies still compete for Haoyue?" ”
Wu You nodded, it was exactly like this, the arrogance of the Rong Kingdom was raised by the Sheng Long Kingdom. In the past, the people of Shenglong mentioned the Rong country with the same hatred and hatred attitude, but now they are either laughing and watching, or looking up to the sky and sighing, born in sorrow, dying in peace, and the comfortable and luxurious life has already made the Shenglong country lose its fighting spirit.
Chaowen Mansion was originally a academy of the previous dynasty, later changed to a guest house for foreign students, the vermilion door is opened, a cluster of pavilion gardens are quiet and elegant, the corridor is tortuous, there are more than 200 book pavilions and houses in the palace, among them, the students who participated in the competition live in the Nine Star Pavilion, the Nine Star Pavilion is called the Big Dipper Nine Stars, respectively named according to the stars in the sky - Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Shake Light, Auxiliary Star, Bi Xing. Each pavilion has 10 rooms and is an independent garden.
"The conditions here are really good, much better than the post station." Jin Jiaozi praised.
Wu You was also very happy that a single room saved her a lot of trouble.
Already hungry after packing up their things, they went to the cafeteria together. In order to cater to the tastes of students from all over the world, there is a hall cafeteria in the kitchen, where you can eat for free with your own wooden room card, and there are also private rooms where you can order food independently, but you need to pay an additional fee.
Sima Kailang and a few people came to the hall cafeteria, which was already quite lively, most of the students from all over the Shenglong Kingdom gathered here, everyone seemed to be pacing slowly and casually, but in fact, they were secretly observing the opponents of other academies.
"Sit down the hall." Sima said cheerfully.
Qiu Huaye also glanced at Shu Kun and the others, and everyone understood, so they went in twos and threes.
"This brother, is it convenient to share a table?" Wu You's meal was small, and she was the first to make it, so she took the plate and walked to a young man.
"Little brother, please take care of yourself." Baiyun Tianjian is a student of Dingshan Academy introduced by Fang Caimao, and he gently replied.
"My name is Wu You, why do you eat alone, what about them?" Although this person is a student of Jingshixue, Wu Youguan has a plump and beautiful appearance, slender bones, delicate hands and feet, and is a person of Mu Sheng, a wood master, and his temperament should be upright and gentle.
Seeing Wu You's young and innocent appearance, Bai Yuntian couldn't help but soften his voice and said: "I don't have much money, so I have to save some money, so they went to the box to order." "Bai Yuntian has been sluggish since he was a child, raised by his maternal grandfather, his maternal grandfather is the imperial doctor of the six products in the palace, and his income is not high, and Bai Yuntian was born with a deficiency disease, and he did not eat less tonic medicine when he was a child, so his hands are even more stretched. Because of his health, so avoid great sorrow and joy, mood swings, developed this peaceful state of mind, he is not good at sociability, all his thoughts are used to study, now eighteen years old is already talented, this time after participating in the competition can be out of the teacher, enjoy the court Lu. Peers dislike him for being old-fashioned and empty, which is not interesting, so he just nods to him on weekdays. "What about you, why don't you dine with your classmates?"
"I'm here to spy on the military." Wu You lowered his voice and said bluntly. "You know we're not reliable, so we're on our own, and we still don't even know who we're going to play against."
"If that's the problem, I'll be able to explain it to you." Bai Yuntian looked at the group of men who had just come down from the upstairs wing, and saw that they were dressed in golden brocade, with jade crowns on their heads, and their expressions were different from others. "These people are students of Guozijian, Guozijian only accepts the children of the emperor's relatives and officials above the third grade, and the leader is Jiang Teng, the son of the Gongfu of Shanjiguo."
Wu You looked at Jiang Teng, only to see that his eyebrows and eyes were not right, and Xiang Chang's Adam's apple was mean, poisonous, and a person who liked to kill people. Jiang Teng and Jiang Huai are cousins, and they live in a mansion with such a poison, and the situation of the male protagonist can be imagined. Perhaps, Wu You's death in her previous life was not as simple as she thought.
"Thank you for explaining, can we be friends?" Wu You retracted his gaze and asked.
"I can't ask for it, my surname is hundred, and my name is Yuntian." Bai Yuntian smiled slightly, for some reason, he always felt that this child had a similar temperament to himself, which made him feel close. "By the way, when I saw your group today, there seemed to be something wrong with your expression, did you have a conflict?"
"Pavi?" Wu You thought about it for a while and said: "Among your classmates, there is a person who did have a conflict with us yesterday, he is slender and long, with a white face and a low nose, I don't know if it is the person you said." ”
"It's him." Bai Yuntian lowered his voice and said, "You guys should pay attention to it in the near future. "A gentleman does not shy away from the beauty of people, and does not speak of the evil of people. This is already the maximum scale he can remind.
"Thank you." Wu You said with a smile. I'm afraid that the person who should pay attention is that Palaway.
They were chatting happily, not noticing the person they were talking about, and they were rushing to the outside of the palace.
