In the morning, from the household department to the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace, Duanmuxian's side was almost never free, and the ministers rushed to offer condolences one after another.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for worrying."

Duanmu Xian sent another middle-aged official with a solemn expression, and then walked out of the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion.

In the distance, he saw a figure in a bright red unicorn robe striding towards this direction, the bright real red was dazzling red in the sunlight.

Behind the young man was a small chamberlain, discreetly holding a thick stack of folds in his hand.

Duanmu Xian's steps slowed slightly, and then he walked towards Cen Yin with a clear goal, stopped three steps away from the other party, and arched his hand, "Lord Cen Governor, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" ”

"TOEFL." Cen Yin smiled slightly, his beautiful facial features were clearly defined, and his deep and charming eyes shone with an unpredictable light, just standing with his hands in his hands so casually, he exuded a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere.

In contrast, Duanmuxian seemed calm and calm, but there was a faint hint of imperceptible apprehension.

Duanmu Xian's smile deepened, and he said euphemistically: "Thank you for the 'mention' of Lord Cen this time, I will recuperate in the mansion in the future." ”

The implication of his words is that the He family will not come out again in the future.

Cen Yin raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, but just such a subtle expression made Duanmu Xian's heart rise little by little......

"Lord Duanmu," Cen Yin stroked his sleeve casually, "When this person should be ruthless, don't be soft-hearted, lest you ......"

A warm wind blew suddenly, causing the branches and leaves above to make a swaying sound, Duanmu Xian's heart was startled, and his heartbeat pounded faster.

Duanmu Xian learned what happened from Duanmu Jun's mouth three days ago, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood......

That night, he almost couldn't sleep all night, thinking about various possibilities, if this matter was known by the emperor, the best result was probably to return to his hometown, and since then he broke off his career, and the worst result was that he was charged with the crime of trying to manipulate the prince and stand in line, the emperor was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the most taboo thing was that others coveted his throne, especially the prince and their powerful ministers.

If the Son of Heaven is angry with thunder, it is not impossible to behead all the doors in a fit of anger.

Thinking about it, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of Duanmuxian's neck, and a chill ran down his back, and he was terrified.

Cen Yin's words were clearly a subtle reminder to himself, don't let the He family cause trouble again.

This incident can be said to be Cen Yin's saving the lives of the Duanmu family.

Although the Duanmu family is the eldest prince's foreign family, Duanmu Xian does not think that Cen Yin made a move for the sake of the eldest prince, with Cen Yin's current status, he is only a prince with an uncertain future, and he is not qualified to let him show his goodwill.

Even, if Cen Yin is willing, probably all the princes will beg him to support him.

So—

Duanmu Xian moved his eyebrows, will Cen Yin make a move, is it really because of his own four girls?!

Of course, Duanmuxian also knew that in the past few months, it has been rumored that Cen Yin recognized the four girls as his righteous sisters, and it turned out that Duanmu Xian was just for fun, although Cen Yin specially came to the house to congratulate the four girls, but Duanmu Xian was more inclined to this may be the emperor's meaning...... Now that I think about it carefully, could it be that Cen Yin really has this plan?

The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his heart beat faster, but this time it was not because of nervousness, but joy.

The four girls in their own family are smart, clever, caring and generous, and among so many ladies in Beijing, there is no one to match.

Lord Cen Governor's eyes are really like torches!

Duanmu Xian looked at Cen Yin's eyes with a little more kindness, and sighed in his heart: The four girls are really the lucky stars of their Duanmu family!

In the past two years, with the help of the four girls, his career will be so smooth, thriving, and even now he is the first assistant!

Duanmu Xian ran away without careful thoughts, and finally, he still remembered Cen Yin in front of him, hurriedly calmed down, and arched his hand at Cen Yin seriously, "This official understands, please rest assured." ”

Cen Yin glanced at him, didn't say anything more, and continued to take a step in the direction of the celebrant supervisor.

Looking at Cen Yin's departing back, Duanmu Xian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the thin sweat on his forehead and the back of his neck, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter of Guiyi Bofu must not be stabbed in front of the emperor, and it is finally settled.

Duanmu Xian only relaxed for a moment, his body tensed again, and he planned to hurry out of the palace and return to the household yamen.

After three days of resting at home, he had a lot of backlog of affairs at hand, and just thinking about it gave him a headache.

In the past few months, the Nanhuai people and the southern border army have fought dozens of times, large and small, and the two armies have confronted each other in the southwest of Qianzhou.

Although the trial implementation of the salt introduction system allowed a large amount of grain and grass to be sent to the south, it was far from enough, not only was there a shortage of grain and grass in the south, but also, because of the previous wars, weapons and horses were also in short supply.

Thinking of the war horse, Duanmuxian couldn't help but think of the emperor's order to levy horses a few days ago, originally this matter was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, but later I don't know how, the palm print eunuch Wen Yongju of the imperial horse supervisor was withdrawn by Cen Yin, and the inner attendant who was transferred out by the celebrant was on top.

Hey, this Wen Yongju really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to commit a crime on Cen Yin's head, isn't this self-defeating!

Fortunately, it didn't delay the horse.

Duanmu Xian thought as he walked along the white marble paved ground in the direction of the palace gate. Now that the eldest prince is in the south, he has to take care of all the grain and grass for him in the rear, so that he has no worries, and he can't let the emperor be angry with him......

"Shousuke Duanki."

A familiar clear male voice suddenly came from behind Duanmu Xian.

Duanmuxian stopped, followed the prestige, and saw dozens of zhang away, a young man in an apricot yellow prince python robe was walking towards him, the young man was delicate, elegant and elegant, tall and tall like a bush of green bamboo, a gentleman and gentle, gentle as jade.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Duanmuxian smiled and saluted the visitor.

The person who came was the second prince Mu Youchang.

His handsome face was overflowing with smiles, and he walked with a spring breeze, and the white marble ground under his feet reflected a dazzling white light in the bright sunlight, coating his whole body with a faint halo, like a fairy.

"Duanmu Shousuke," Mu Youchang smiled and took a big red post from the little chamberlain behind him and handed it to Duanmu Xian, "This palace will be married on the twenty-eighth of next month, please be sure to come at that time." ”

The prince's wedding came to send a post to the courtiers in person, and this was the first time he had encountered it. Duanmu Xian thought so in his heart, but his face didn't show any abnormality, he took the post with a smile, arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, the minister will definitely arrive at that time." ”

Although the post was delivered, Mu Youchang did not leave, and continued to greet Duanmu Xian: "Recently, I heard that Mrs. Zun is bedridden, and there is a ginseng plant that is hundreds of years old in this palace. Shoufu also has to take care of his body, and the court still needs Shoufu to bother more. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Duanmu Xian made a look of not being very moved.

"Then the main palace won't bother Shousuke." Mu Youchang smiled slightly and said goodbye to Duanmu Xian.

At the same time as he turned around, a fine light flashed under his eyes, and he said in his heart: He is now a prince who has no errands, so what does it matter if he is Corporal Lixian!

Duanmu Xian watched Mu Youchang's departing back in place, his eyes were half-drooping, looking at the big red gold post in his hand, and rubbing his index finger thoughtfully on the post.

The wedding of the second prince was set on August 28 by the Qin Tianjian and Zongren Mansion, and there were not a few people who received the invitation from the second prince himself, such as the official department Shangshu You Junji, Anding Hou, King Jinjun, etc., and therefore, there were some good names about the second prince in Beijing.

It is said that the second prince took a fancy to this unmarried princess, and was not satisfied with some of the dowry prepared by the Inner Court Division, so he ordered someone to go to the north to purchase furs.

It is said that the second prince thought of the heat of August, and did not hesitate to make a big deal of construction, so that the inner court asked craftsmen to dig a lotus pond in the main courtyard of the palace, so that the second prince and concubine could enjoy the cool water.

In contrast, the Xuanguo Mansion is much more deserted, everything inside and outside the mansion is as usual, and there is no joy to be seen.

Duke Xuanguo drove to Ningjiang Palace, and Mrs. Chu stayed in the capital, at this time, she was talking to the second master of Chu in the east room of Liuhe Hall.

The various styles of the second prince were talked about in Beijing and spread widely, but Mrs. Chu didn't think so, and in front of the second son, she didn't hide this, and sighed: "These two princes are really painstaking. ”

The second master of Chu, who was dressed in a simple azure straight jacket, sat on a rosewood circle chair by the window, his posture was straight, as tall as a green pine.

"Mother," the second master of Chu stroked his beard slowly, his eyes clear and calm, "The second prince is so enthusiastic that he is showing goodwill to the Chu family, and he is also announcing to the court that he respects my Chu family." ”

The second prince acts so utilitarianly, don't you think that others can't see it?

Second Master Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "Mother, what are we going to do?" ”

Mrs. Chu picked up a white porcelain embossed teacup, slowly took a sip of hot tea, shook her head, and said lightly: "Let him go." ”

This marriage was given by the emperor, unless the Chu family wants to turn their faces with the royal family head-on, otherwise, whatever they do at this time is wrong, and the enthusiasm for the second prince will make the emperor think that the Chu family is standing in line; Stopping the second prince may make the emperor feel that the Chu family is dissatisfied with this marriage, and deliberately slaps the royal family in the face.

Therefore, it is better to use static braking.

After thinking about it for a while, the second master Chu understood Mrs. Chu's intentions, and said with his head bowed: "Mother is right." ”

The second master of Chu resisted the urge to sigh, thinking about his daughter Chu Qingyu, who was about to marry into the royal family, and his mood was still extremely complicated.

Mrs. Chu casually put the teacup on the square table on the side, and said lightly: "Anyway, on that day, Sister Yu will marry according to the rules of the Chu family's girl." ”

Mrs. Chu's expression was cold, as if she was not talking about her own granddaughter, but an irrelevant person.

Second Master Chu was stunned and responded in a low voice. Knowing his mother, Mo Ruozi, he knew that his mother was afraid that she would not show up to entertain guests on the wedding day.

After that, the room fell silent for a while, and no one spoke.

In the courtyard, the summer breeze rustled the branches, and there was silence inside and outside the house.

In the long silence, the second master Chu's heart was heavy, and he heard Mrs. Chu say again: "I discussed it with your father," Mrs. Chu's voice was vaguely revealing a trace of bitterness and sadness, "We are going to do a ritual for Sister Ci'er, I have asked Master Xugu of Puji Temple to calculate the day, and the twenty-eighth of next month is exactly right." ”

The long-haired lion cat, which was originally curled up and sleeping next to Mrs. Chu, moved its ears when it heard the words "Sister Ci", opened its cat's eyes that were as transparent as emeralds, and looked around, but it retracted its head with a disappointed face.

Thinking of his niece Chu Qingci, the second master of Chu was also slightly moved, and he was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's time to do a magic thing for Sister Ci'er......"

In the blink of an eye, Sister Ci has been gone for more than two years. Thinking of his extremely intelligent niece, the second master of Chu also felt a little sour in his heart, Sister Ci was the only bloodline left by the eldest brother, but he was red-faced.

Second Master Chu closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened his eyes again, and said, "Mother rest assured, Sister Yu's marriage will be handed over to us." ”

Xuan Guogong went to Ningjiang Palace to escape the summer, and Mrs. Chu did not plan to marry Chu Qingyu in the mansion, anyone with a discerning eye could see the attitude of the Chu family, but they couldn't find anything wrong, after all, Chu Qingyu's parents and eldest brother were there, and they had their own hands on the marriage.

The second master of Chu showed a trace of shame on his face, "It's all because my son didn't teach his daughter well, so he caused such a thing to the Chu family......"

Mrs. Chu looked calm, and after being disappointed again and again, she had already seen it. One kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people, the Chu family is a century-old family, and it is not that there have never been unfilial children, and Chu Qingyu is just one of them.

She was about to say something when there was a rush of footsteps outside, especially harsh in the silence of the room.

Soon, a girl in Tsing Yi walked in with a curtain open, and curtsied at Mrs. Chu and said, "Mrs. Tai, the old lady sent Mo Yan back, and she is waiting outside to ask to see Mrs. Tai." ”

Mo Yan is Mrs. Chu's little servant, and Mrs. Chu naturally knows about it, so she asked the maid to bring people in.

After a while, a round-faced little girl wearing a small hat and a cyan short beat appeared in front of Mrs. Chu and said, "Mrs. Tai, the old lady asked the little one to bring the big girl's waterfall picture to the palace. ”

"Meow?" Xue Yu, who had closed her eyes, opened her eyes again and looked at Mo Yan, as if asking, what about her?

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the top of Xue Yu's head, her eyes rippled slightly, and asked casually, "Why did the old lady think of that waterfall picture?" ”

"Meow." Xue Yu narrowed her eyes and rubbed it against Mrs. Chu's palm, very well-behaved.

Mo Yan hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, it was Mrs. Zhang who personally begged the old lady to borrow the eldest girl's painting to take a look. ”

Mrs. Chu was a little reluctant in her heart, but the old lady agreed, and she couldn't sweep his face.

She frowned slightly, and then asked, "Do you know how Mrs. Zhang suddenly thought of borrowing a painting?" ”

When Mrs. Zhang asked to see Mrs. Chu, Mo Yan was also present, so she replied 1510: "At the beginning of the month, the four girls of the Duanmu family repainted Mrs. Zhang and painted the waterfall, and Mrs. Zhang remembered the waterfall picture of the eldest girl, and wanted to borrow it to invite the four girls of Duanmu to enjoy it. ”

Mrs. Chu's mind naturally appeared Duanmufei's well-behaved and cute little face, and the corners of her lips could not hide her surprise.

"It turns out that this little girl is also good at drawing......"

Mrs. Chu muttered, that little girl is really as talented as her sister, and she is a leader in piano, chess, and painting.

Interesting.

Mrs. Chu continued to touch the snow jade slowly, adding a touch of interest to her expression, which swept away the original solemnity and sadness in the room.

"Ah Mei," Mrs. Chu instructed Mama Yu on the side, "you go to my study and bring the waterfall map." ”

Since the death of her eldest granddaughter, some of her posthumous works and used pianos and chess have been carefully put away by Mrs. Chu.

"Yes, Madame." After Mama Yu responded, she opened the curtain and went out, and when she came back, she had an extra picture scroll in her hand.

The slaves and maids serving in the Liuhe Hall all knew that Mrs. Tai was extremely careful about the things of the eldest girl, and even this painting was framed by Mrs. Tai herself.

Mama Yu didn't rush to give the painting to Mo Yan, but handed it over to Mrs. Chu first.

Mrs. Chu slowly unfolded the scroll, as if she was holding a priceless treasure, cautiously.

She has seen this painting countless times in the past two years, but every time she looks at it, she still can't help but redden, and can't help but think of her sister-in-law, remembering that she smiled and said to herself that when she finishes painting this painting, she will give it to her grandfather.

Looking at Mrs. Chu's eyes glowing with a layer of hazy water, Second Master Chu also sighed in his heart.

Xue Yu seemed to sense Mrs. Chu's sadness, and rubbed her gown beside her, letting out a soft cry.

Mrs. Chu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, she slowly rolled up the painting again, and told Mama Yu: "After you put the painting in the roll, remember to seal it with wax, it has been raining recently, don't get the painting wet." ”

Mama Yu responded again and again, and made a gesture to Mo Yan, and the two of them pushed out of the east room one after another.

The room was quiet again, only to hear the cat's confused and coquettish cry echo in the air again, and in the blink of an eye it was suppressed by the sound of cicadas outside the window.

Eight days later, this waterfall map arrived on Mrs. Zhang's desk, and on the same day as the waterfall map, there was also a copy of "Shi's Star Sutra".

Mrs. Zhang carefully looked at the painting for nearly a cup of tea, then carefully put the painting away, followed her out with the "Shi's Star Sutra", and went to Xiaoran Hall.

She knew that Duanmu Fei had been going to Xiaoran Hall with the fourth princess recently, and in the past few days, Mrs. Zhang had also come over to observe from time to time.

At this time, it is only the beginning of the sun, when the sun is shining, everything is bathed in the golden morning light, and in the shade of the trees, you can see cheerful birds flying and singing from time to time.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to be also infected, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger.

In order to let the girls study quietly, the location of Xiaoran Hall was a little off, almost located in the northernmost part of the palace, and Mrs. Zhang walked nearly two teas to reach the destination.

After passing through the courtyard gate, you can vaguely hear Taifu's dull voice coming from the hall, and there are vaguely mixed words such as "nine chapters", "heavy difference", "measuring the city" and so on.

Mrs. Zhang's right eyebrow was slightly raised, and she immediately heard it, it turned out that they were learning "counting" today.

The six arts of a gentleman are: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Not only the princes have to learn, but the princesses also have to learn, but the princesses often turn a blind eye to the princesses, if the prince learns too perfunctory, even if he is not sued by the prince, when the emperor takes the homework, he can't hide it.

Mrs. Zhang, as always, quietly walked into the classroom through the back door, looking at Duanmu Fei in front.

Mrs. Qiu was foaming at the mouth in front of her, and most of the female students below were sitting upright, only Duanmufei was lying on the desk, sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed.

From Mrs. Zhang's point of view, you can vaguely see the slightly upturned corners of Duanmu's right cheek like a cat, as if she was immersed in a good dream.

After Mrs. Zhang was stunned, the corners of her mouth, which was originally curved like a crescent moon, rose even higher.

This little girl is really funny!

There is no doubt that she is intelligent and quick-witted, and she must also be a resolute, diligent and studious person, otherwise she would not have such an amazing and brilliant performance in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, I have been here seven or eight times, and the little girl is either dozing off or in a daze, and today she has taken a step further and slept directly under the nose of the Taifu?

Could it be that she couldn't read the book in her dream?!

Mrs. Zhang's right hand formed a fist, put it to her lips and let out a silent smile.

Of course, Mrs. Qiu in front also saw Mrs. Zhang, and her eyes fell on Duanmufei's double screws, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

This Duanmu four girl, it's okay to be in a daze and take a nap in class on weekdays, but today is really too much, and let Mrs. Zhang see her asleep, it's really embarrassing to be embarrassed in front of outsiders.

Mrs. Qiu, who was originally just walking back and forth at the front, suddenly turned around and walked towards Duanmufei.

The other princesses and girls in the hall all subconsciously chased after Mrs. Qiu's figure, and a few of them who were sleepy immediately lifted their spirits, and all the sleepy insects flew away, waiting to see a good show.

Han Xing reacted very quickly, took off the crape myrtle flower on his head casually, and threw it on Duanmu Fei's body......

Hanxing's ability to throw pots and shoot arrows is good, and the purple-red crape myrtle flower happened to be thrown behind Duanmufei's ear by her, however, Duanmufei was motionless, as if he didn't notice it.

Han Xing sighed silently in his heart, and saw that in the next moment, Mrs. Qiu had already walked to Duanmu Fei's side expressionlessly, raised his hand and knocked twice on her desk.

"Knock knock."

The twin screws on the top of Duanmufei's head, which looked like cat ears, moved and raised her delicate little face, and the crape myrtle flower that was originally sandwiched behind her ears immediately slid down her slender neck and landed on the bookcase.

Duanmu Fei looked stupid, and slowly winked at Mrs. Qiu, those big black and white eyes were sleepy at the moment, and his eyes were a little dazed, like an innocent little milk cat raised his head.

Han Xing, who was sitting on her right hand, had itchy hands when he looked at it, and he wanted to rub it on the top of her head.

Mrs. Zhang also looked at Duanmu Fei, her eyes and smile were very kind and kind, and her eyes were bright, as if she was looking at her own nephew.

Mrs. Qiu tried hard to keep his face on the floor, made a serious look, and asked, "Fourth Duanmu girl, do you understand the heavy difference technique?" ”

Severe Difference ...... Duanmu Fei's mind was still groggy, and he was stunned for two breaths before he slowly remembered what a heavy difference technique was and nodded.

Mrs. Qiu looked at her confused expression and had to wonder if she was perfunctory.

No, I have to teach this little girl a lesson.

Mrs. Qiu suddenly had an idea in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "Since you understand, then I will come up with a question, you listen." ”

Duanmufei immediately stood up and listened obediently, looking like a good student.

Mrs. Qiu stroked her gray goatee and began to ask the question:

"Now it is expected that the island, stand two tables and three feet high, a thousand steps before and after, so that the back table and the front table are straight, but the front table is one hundred and twenty-three steps, people look at the ground, take the island peak, and the end of the table is combined, from the back table but one hundred and twenty-seven steps, people look at the ground, take the island peak, and also participate in the end of the table......"

The other girls around listened and couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that Mrs. Qiu was too embarrassed, and this question was too difficult.

There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the room, and some girls wrote down the inscription.

Of course, Mrs. Qiu did it on purpose, he planned to wait for Duanmu Fei to say no, and then take advantage of the situation to train her to be diligent and ridiculous, so that she could not sleep in class in the future.

The girls looked at Duanmu Fei sympathetically, only Han Xing and Dangui quickly exchanged a look, and Duanmu Fei's pretended unfathomable words sounded in their ears: "Everything in this world is inseparable from arithmetic." ”

Han Xing and Dan Gui were more energetic, and they set their sympathetic eyes on Mrs. Qiu.

Poor Mrs. Qiu, I'm afraid I don't know that Cousin Scarlet is the best at arithmetic. Han Xing said silently, maybe even his grandfather Duanmu Xian is "counted" as a scarlet cousin.

Mrs. Zhang stared straight at Duanmufei's well-behaved little face, and her mood became more and more happy.

At this time, Mrs. Qiu, who had finished reading the question, lifted his eyelids, looked at Duanmu Feifa and asked, "Dare to ask, how high is the island?" ”

Duanmu Fei blinked, calculated quickly in his heart, and quickly replied: "Back to Taifu, one thousand two hundred and fifty-five steps." She crooked her little face and smiled at Mrs. Qiu flatteringly, so cute that people couldn't bear to be angry with her.

After these few days, Mrs. Zhang also got to know Duanmufei a little bit, and she clearly saw the meaning in the little girl's eyes: Taifu, can she continue to sleep?

Looking at the little girl's eyes that seemed to be able to speak, Mrs. Zhang put her fist to her lips again, and finally couldn't hold back her laughter. This little girl is so cute!

"......" Mrs. Qiu was dumbfounded, and didn't react for a while.

Han Xing and Dangui also tried hard to hold back their laughter, and looking at Mrs. Qiu's expression, they knew that Duanmu Fei must have answered correctly.

Mrs. Qiu looked at Duanmu Fei with a strange expression, this was his own question, of course he knew the answer, and almost wanted to ask Duanmu Fei how she calculated the answer in a few breaths, but before he spoke, he thought of a well-known thing.

This Duanmu fourth girl is surnamed Duanmu, and the first assistant Duanmu Xian has recently studied arithmetic, so he entered the household department back then...... If there is an ancestor, there must be a grandchild.

Mrs. Qiu cleared his throat unnaturally and said, "Sit down." ”

He was angry and funny in his heart, and shook his head helplessly, sighing again.

This Duanmu four girls are very talented, but it's a pity that the little girl's family loves to be lazy, if this is a man, why should he go to Duanmu Shoufu's house to persuade him to discipline his own children, don't waste this talent...... It's a pity, it's a girl's house!

Either way. Mrs. Qiu waved her hand and motioned for Duanmu Fei to sit down.

Duanmufei hurriedly sat back again, looked at the crape myrtle on the table, counted the petals on it, and suppressed the urge to yawn.

Last night, she was dragged out by Han Xing to play, and she didn't return to Qingliang Hall until the second watch, and she was pulled here to study early in the morning...... Do the math, she's only slept for four hours!

Duanmu Fei sat there a little dazed, his eyes were in a trance, although he didn't lie down to sleep again, but he couldn't hear anything in his ears at all.

Mrs. Qiu continued to take the class again, but he didn't continue to talk about the height difference technique, which was difficult to understand, and he just mentioned it in passing, so that everyone knew that there was such a section in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

By the time Duanmu Scarlet returned to her place, Mrs. Qiu had already left, and Han Xing's delicate teasing voice penetrated into her ears: "Cousin Scarlet, you slept too soundly!" The palace has lost a flower and wants to wake you up! ”

Duanmu Fei looked at the crape myrtle flower again, stretched out an index finger and scratched his cheek, only then did he understand, "Cousin Hanxing, this flower was thrown by you......"

"Poof."

The second and third princesses sitting in front of her couldn't help but laugh, their smiles crisp and pleasant.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang came over with all her money, and it was not surprising that everyone had often seen her here recently.

After Mrs. Zhang saluted the princesses, she looked at Duanmu Fei with a smile, "Fourth girl Duanmu, I have already brought the Shi's Star Sutra." ”

She made a gesture, and the personal maid presented a book with a blue cover to Duanmu Fei, and the four words "Shi's Star Sutra" were written in regular italics on the cover of the book.

Han Xing stretched his neck curiously and glanced at it, this is the "Shi's Star Sutra" that Cousin Scarlet has never forgotten.

Duanmu Fei instantly refreshed as if he had taken some kind of panacea, and the drowsiness all over his body was swept away, and his big eyes staring at the cover were as bright as stars.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." Duanmu stood up overjoyed, and solemnly blessed Mrs. Zhang, "I will definitely read it carefully!" ”

Mrs. Zhang thought about Duanmufei's drowsy appearance in class just now, and couldn't help but smile again, laughing gently and vaguely with a hint of pampering and interest.

"I said it, you read it slowly, don't be in a hurry. Anyway, if you put it in my place, it will be the bottom of the box, so it will not be a pearl in your hands. Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang is so good! Duanmu Fei looked at Mrs. Zhang with emotion, and the cat's tail behind her flicked happily.

After the two talked and laughed a few more words, the Taifu of the next class came, and Mrs. Zhang did not stay long and took her leave.

The second class continued, Duanmu Fei was naturally out of the sky again, and after the class, she couldn't wait to hold her "Shi's Star Sutra" back to the Qingliang Palace.

Duanmufei didn't have the heart to play anymore, so he locked himself in the small study and began to read eagerly.

After that, all that was left in the room was the rustle of turning the pages, Duanmu Fei seemed to be in a meditation, he couldn't see or hear anything else around him, and the sun outside gradually slanted westward from the center...... When the sunset was almost completely set, she could be considered to have finished reading the entire "Shi's Star Sutra".

Duanmu raised his head from the book unsatisfactorily, but was startled when he met Han Xing's curious eyes.

She didn't even notice when Hanxing came.

There were just the two of them in the small study, Han Xing put down the Huarong Dao in his hand, and said casually with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, is this book so interesting?" ”

Han Xing came an hour ago, and when she saw Duanmu Fei reading intently, she didn't bother her, and she sat aside and picked up Huarong Dao casually and played.

"Of course!" Duanmu Fei nodded hurriedly, his white fingers carefully touching the cover, a pair of pupils were so pure, "This book contains the changes and laws of the three walls, four elephants and twenty-eight nights in the sky, and has unique insights. Shi Shen is indeed a strange person through the ages! As Duanmu spoke, his eyes were shining and his expression was radiant.

"It's amazing!" Han Xing blinked, although he didn't understand what Duanmu Fei was talking about, but looking at her appearance, it seemed very interesting, "Cousin Scarlet, how did you come up with the idea of learning astrology?" ”

Duanmu was stunned, her eyes were a little trance, as if she had thought of something, and there was a faint hint of sadness on her delicate little face.

She looked up at the night sky outside the window, the sky was completely dark, and the dark night was full of dense stars, one by one twinkling like jewels.

"A long, long time ago, someone told me that when a person dies, he becomes a star in the sky." Duanmu Fei looked up at the stars in the sky, his eyes flashing slightly.

Han Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun's deceased parents, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She didn't want to mention Duanmufei's sadness, so she casually pointed to a bright star in the sky, and changed the topic: "Cousin Scarlet, what star is that?" ”

"That's Zi Weixing. Ziweixing is the emperor star. Duanmu Fei looked in the direction pointed by Han Xing, and said with great interest, "Butian Song" said: Zhongyuan Arctic Ziwei Palace, the North Pole Five Stars are among them, the second pearl of the Emperor's Seat, the third star Shuziju, the first is the prince, and the fourth is the harem and the five heavenly pivot......s."

"Inside this Ziwei Wall is the middle wall of the three walls, also known as the Middle Palace, or Ziwei Palace."

"Cousin Hanxing, you see, with Zi Weixing as the center, there are eight stars of the Eastern Domain and seven stars of the Western Domain......"

Duanmu Fei talked endlessly, and Han Xing listened to it in a fog after a while, and he was dizzy.

When Duanmu Fei wanted to continue to explain the upper and lower walls of the three walls, Han Xing directly raised his hands in surrender, and said in a coquettish voice: "Cousin Scarlet, you said that the head of the palace is starting to hurt, anyway, you can directly tell the palace if it will rain in three days!" ”

Han Xing looked at Duanmu Fei with a smile on his face, with a look of anticipation, "Bengong has already agreed with Dangui that he will go to a nearby town to play in three days...... Scarlet cousin, do you want to go with you too? ”

I can finally go out and play without having to go to class! Duanmufei's eyes brightened, and he nodded straight and said, "Okay, good." ”

Han Xing looked at Duanmu Fei with a smile, and tacitly understood the meaning of Duanmu Fei's words.

So, Cousin Scarlet means that it won't rain in three days!

I'm really good at picking days.

Han Xing thought happily and discussed with Duanmu Fei the plan for three days......

Seeing that the two masters were talking endlessly, Congzhen, the palace maid who was guarding outside the small study, couldn't help but come in and interrupt the two of them, reminding: "Your Highness, the fourth girl of Duanmu, do you want to set up dinner?" ”

The cousins were stunned, only then did they realize that they were hungry, and they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, and the crisp and hearty laughter drifted away with the evening breeze.

After dinner, Duanmufei devoted himself wholeheartedly to the "Shi's Star Sutra", this time not to read, but to copy.

It took two days for her to copy it, until two days later, in the afternoon, when she finally finished copying the book.

After checking it carefully, Duanmu Fei felt as if she had completed another big thing, and she was extremely satisfied and happy, and after that, she took Mrs. Zhang's "Shi's Star Sutra" to Hongtaoxuan, where Zhang's family lived.

In the afternoon, the sun was just starting to set in the west, and the weather was not so hot.

Duanmufei walked all the way in the shade of the trees, while walking, while enjoying the surrounding scenery, he felt that his summer trip was really not in vain.

This "Shi's Star Sutra" alone made her feel that it was worth studying and attending classes in Xiaoran Hall these days!

After a long time, Duanmu Fei was led by the maid of the Zhang family to the east room of Hongtao Xuan, and the maid opened a curtain of Xiangfei, and there was an elegant and pleasant incense coming to his face.

This is the Zhilan incense recorded by Jiangnan Pinxiang, and it is also one of Duanmu Fei's favorite incense.

In summer, order this zhilan fragrance is not only elegant, but also refreshing, and the fragrance lasts for a long time.

Mrs. Zhang is really tasteful. Duanmu hooked the corners of his lips and entered the east room.

The room with the ice basin is very cool, and a few green bamboos outside the window reflect the inside of a verdant, quiet and elegant.

Mrs. Zhang, who was wearing a bamboo-blue dark pattern gown, sat on a sour branch wood arhat bed, and when she saw Duanmu Fei coming, she put down a book in her hand, waved to her affectionately, and smiled kindly, "Duanmu girl, come and sit on my side." ”

Duanmu saluted Mrs. Zhang with a smile, presented the "Shi's Star Sutra" with both hands, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang, the things will be returned to their original owners." ”

Mrs. Zhang took the book, raised her eyebrows in some surprise, and asked, "You finished copying it so quickly?" ”

"My handwriting is very fast." Duanmu boasted triumphantly.

Mrs. Zhang thinks about it, since the little girl writes a good hand, she doesn't practice less on weekdays, and it's not surprising that she writes quickly.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "My handwriting is also quite fast, should we compare?" ”

Duanmu Fei knew that Mrs. Zhang was just playing with herself, so she responded with a smile.

Next, several maids in the house were busy for a while, some brought books, some prepared pen and ink, some served tea, and some added incense to the incense burner on the side.

Ink, tea, bamboo, and incense mingle in the air to create a unique scent.

The tip of Duanmufei's nose moved, and he glanced at the white-glazed vermilion bird pattern three-legged incense burner with green smoke rising in the corner, and a pair of clear big eyes narrowed into two thin slits, like a smiling little fox, and the eyes were amazingly bright.
