The Three Princes' Mansion.

"Oh? You mean, the scholar was almost killed? Huangfu Xiu squeezed the teacup in his hand and asked with a playful expression.

Under the hall, there was a guard-like person kneeling, dressed in black and with black hair, with an expressionless face. Hearing Huang Fuxiu's question, he just lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Yes." ”

The corners of Huangfu Xiu's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was an indescribable light flowing in his eyes, as if he was calculating, and like the acumen of a beast, he said: "Do you know what the little maid is going to do when she brings the scholar back?" ”

The man in black said: "When my subordinates heard it, the servant girl seemed to be trying to take revenge on him." ”

"Revenge." Huangfu Xiu smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that Shu Mansion has another good show to watch these days." ”

The man in black didn't know why His Royal Highness would say this, but the affairs of the masters were not something that one of his guards could instruct, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Young master, but ...... The servant girl spoke of revenge, but this is not the case. She asked the scholar to find Li Qingfang, a student of the Ministry of Officials, to help him enter the office and strengthen his strength. ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Did she really say that?" ”

The man in black replied, "Yes." ”

Huangfu Xiu was silent for a while, he had already thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't expect this little maid to have such vision? In the officialdom, there are storms and clouds, even if he is a little prince for many years, he does not dare to blurt out easily who can dominate the wind and clouds in the future, and who can be relied on to seek development, but this maid dares to say, could it be that she is really not an ordinary person?

Huangfu pondered to no avail, thinking that he would go to Shufu again tomorrow to see if it was true or not. Then he commanded the man in black, "Got it, you go down first." The man in black retreated, and before he could blink an eye, he had disappeared.

The next day, the wind was mild and the sky was as blue as the sea.

Huangfu Xiu and the little servants around him came to Shu's mansion, and Master Shu treated him as a prince, and hurriedly invited people into the study to discuss matters. It's just that this time, when Huangfu Xiu arrived, he had something to ask Master Shu.

After the maidservant put the tea on the table, Huangfu Xiu said directly: "The queen mother's birthday is approaching, but this king is still at a loss, and he is distressed that he doesn't know what gift is more appropriate." It is necessary not only to show the king's filial piety to the queen mother, but also not to fall into the ordinary. ”

Master Shu arched his hand and said, "What does the little prince think?" ”

Huangfu Xiu smiled bitterly: "Naturally, no, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to ask Master Shu." Mr. Shu has been a businessman for many years and has seen a lot of things, so I guess my vision is beyond my ability. In your opinion, what should this king do? ”

Master Shu was greatly praised, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, but the birthday gift to the Queen Mother can be big or small, and it is natural to do a good job, and if you don't do it well, it will be a big crime. Master Shu was also a little hesitant, but when he looked up and saw Huangfu Xiu's expectant look, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he had to say, "Little prince, this is ...... For the time being, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything rare to send to the Queen Mother, so the little prince will give me a few more days to think about it. ”

Huangfu Xiu saw that he had already agreed to help, so he replied leisurely: "Then there is Master Lao Shu." Although he was happy, Master Shu had troubles.

Outside the house, the little maid who had just served tea heard the conversation and hurriedly walked to Shu Churou's room.

"Are you serious?" Shu Churou asked.

Hearing that people reported that Huangfu Xiu was coming, Shu Churou was extremely happy, and her heart was surging, and she immediately sent her own people to Master Shu's side to inquire about the news. God knows, since that day she has looked at him from afar, and she will never forget his demeanor. I miss him every day, and Shu Churou is already fascinated by him. Now that she finally looked forward to him, she naturally couldn't wait. just heard the maidservant tell him about his intention, but he had this distress, and Shu Churou didn't know how to help him.

But I thought to myself: I must seize this opportunity, if I help him, it will be much easier to get close to him in the future.

On this day, the sky was so clear that the sea of clouds was rolling like waves, and it was a good time for the literati and artists to chant poems and paint, and Shu Churou and Shu Qingci should also follow the master to paint on the Bird Pavilion.

Master Shu has always flattered that what his daughters have to keep up with is the etiquette taught by the court nobles to the ladies, so what the ladies of the princes and grandsons have to do, Shu Qingci and Shu Churou are indispensable, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they should be proficient.

On the Bird Pavilion, the master ordered the two to trace a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, this authentic work is the painting made by Wang Xizhi when he traveled, it is not easy to pass it down, and it is also a treasure that Master Shu has treasured for many years. Because the weather at this time coincided with this artistic conception of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as soon as the master said this, Master Shu also took out this treasure and taught it to his daughters.

Ye Hanyue served Shu Qingci on the side, seeing her slender jade hand holding a pen, considering and landing, elegant and elegant, it was really a beautiful picture, so she also took advantage of her side to admire, this so-called noble picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. After a while, Shu Qing's porcelain was ready, and he showed it to the master politely, and the master appreciated it and praised her for her growth. On the other hand, he blamed Shu Churou for not caring about painting.

Shu Churou couldn't tolerate being compared with Shu Qingci, and every time someone belittled her and flattered Shu Qingci, the master's words offended her again. But Shu Churou is a mediocre person, so he doesn't go to the trouble of the master, but wants to repair Shu Qing's porcelain.

After finishing the painting, Shu Qingci and Ye Hanyue went to rest on the bench inside the pavilion. I didn't see Shu Churou come in to rest, and the two of them didn't care, they sat and chatted from the top of the pavilion, enjoyed the breeze, and talked funny, and when they were tired, they squinted their eyes slightly and rested, so comfortable.

It's just that after a while, Ye Hanyue half-squinted, and heard how someone was shouting outside, and her steps were in a hurry, as if something big had happened. Soon, she lifted the curtain on the pavilion and looked over, but it was Master Shu with an angry face, with many family members and masters by her side, walking towards the two of them. Ye Hanyue was taken aback, and hurriedly woke up Shu Qingci.
