Chapter 1 Lu 3 Before Parting

The window paper is shining through.

Shun Yu had already gotten up, and finished finishing the urgent packing last night, and it was already two o'clock before he fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, and suddenly heard the poignant sound of the autumn cicada outside the window, so he was no longer sleepy.

Mama Xiao's eyes were swollen and her eyes were red, and she came to serve her in person.

Shun Yu looked at her like this, and was afraid that speaking would hurt her heart, so she pursed her lips and kept her mouth silent; Mama Xiao was also afraid of opening her own mouth, so she couldn't help but feel sad, and she also closed her mouth and stopped talking.

The two were silent until Qin Xing Meixun came to ask for peace, Shun Yu instructed the two of them to carry their bags out, and Mama Xiao picked up the copper basin and went out to pour water.

When Qin Xing Mason left with a grin, Mama Xiao had not returned.

Shun Yu looked out through the window screen, the autumn wind in the morning and night, the yellow leaves in the yard were full of gold, and several mothers-in-law were busy sprinkling and sweeping.

Liu's girl carried hot washing water into the room, Qin Zhong came over from her aunt's overnight stay, changed into a new straight jacket, and her face was very clean.

Suddenly, the curtain opened, Mama Xiao came in with a food box, opened the lid, took out the dim sum soup and rice, and handed a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Shunyu.

Shun Yu beckoned her to sit down and eat together, and Mama Xiao didn't refuse, broke half a moon cake filled with jujube paste, and chewed it little by little.

Shun Yu seemed to think of something, and asked her with a smile: "Mrs. Jin got up early, and the second master also came early, and even the sprinkling and sweeping yard are much more profitable than in the past." ”

Mama Xiao smiled and replied reluctantly: "The third master and the new daughter-in-law are going to come to serve tea and salute in a while, and Mrs. attaches great importance to it. ”

Shun Yu hummed in a low voice, the speed of eating porridge was significantly accelerated, and the bowl had bottomed out in three or two, and Mama Xiao wanted to persuade her to eat another piece of moon cake, but seeing that she had already picked up the fragrant tea and rinsed her mouth, it was okay.

When everything was cleaned up, Shun Yu went out of the room, walked down the corridor, and went to say goodbye to Liu, and when he reached the door with more than 20 steps around the corner, he saw more than a dozen maids wearing red and green in front of him, walking forward in a row, and the new daughter-in-law wearing red clothes behind him was holding the hand of the tall maid, Qin Yanzhao seemed to be listening to her carefully, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Yesterday, he was still a clear and dignified young master, but overnight, after experiencing the love of the red dust and being contaminated with the smell of that woman, the whole person suddenly became deep.

The mother-in-law in front of the door scrambled to open the curtain cage, and heard someone laughing back, Shun Yu leaned towards the begonia window and watched them being surrounded into the room.

There was a big civet cat under the porch, catching a lame finch and teasing it with its paws.

Shun Yu watched for a while, and Mama Xiao silently accompanied her.

When the autumn sun on the horizon showed his whole face, Shun Yu took a breath of cool air, and then went to the door of Liu's room, and the maids standing on both sides were all raw, looking at Shun Yu was also quite dazed, fortunately Rong just lifted the curtain and came out and came over to greet him.

Mama Xiao said with a smile: "The young master is in a hurry to return to the country, and seeing the inconvenience inside, the annoying girl Rong will not go in to disturb the third master and the new lady to serve tea." “

"I don't dare to go to it." Qiao Rong smiled and dragged her into the room: "You go and talk by yourself." “

Mama Xiao went with her, Shun Yu stood on the steps and waited for a while, and suddenly saw the curtain move, Qiao Rong leaned out half of her body and smiled at her: "The master and the lady let the young master come in and talk." “

Shun Yu's heart tightened, his expression gradually calmed down, and he walked into the room slowly, but saw that Qin Zhong and the Liu family were each sitting on the red sandalwood dragon pattern chair, and each of them had a bean green jade tea bowl in his hand, which was steaming. It is evident that the tea has been served.

Shun Yu stepped forward to see Qin Zhong and Liu, Qin Zhong said goodbye, but Liu was very happy to see her, and curled his lips and smiled: "Come and see your new cousin-in-law." “

"Shun Yu has seen my cousin." Then he walked over to salute, and saw Li Fengzhi wearing a big red sprinkled flower gown, a light bun, wearing an eight-winged phoenix hairpin, a thin powder on his face, a light rouge, his eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful, full of the shyness of a new wife.

That Li Feng hurriedly leaned over to return the salute, and there were red and purple sucking marks that could not be covered by the collar on his slightly hanging neck.

Shun Yu pursed his lips and turned his head to Qin Yanzhao who was standing next to him to say goodbye, Qin Yanzhao pursed the corners of his mouth and said nothing, his dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't see joy.

He suddenly asked in a light tone: "How is the Shunyu Qiuqiu scientific examination?" “

"It's not satisfactory." Shun Yu replied in a low voice.

"If the autumn falls, what are your plans?" Qin Yanzhao continued to ask.

"Naturally, I went back to Suzhou." She spoke calmly and to the point.

"Have you thought about it?" Qin Yanzhao frowned, a little surprised, surprised at how she gave up so easily.

Shun Yu's perfunctory jaw was about to leave, he suddenly got a little angry, and reached out to pull it, but he saw Li Fengzhi blinking, looking at him by mistake.

The hand slowly clenched into a fist and hung behind his back.

................

Guozijian, the rising sun.

Shen Zetang was surrounded by the officials in the curtain such as the same officials, the supervisor and the promotion, and slowly walked down the stairs.

Song Mu waited in Yilun Hall, watching the crowd come over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Shen Zetang knew his intention to come, the last time in the autumn of the year, the reference prisoner had no harvest, Song Mu's life was not good, and the emperor had to think of it, so he wanted to reprimand him.

If this is still the case this time, he will have to tell the old man to return to his hometown to sell wine.

Shen Zetang looked at him with a smile and said gently: "I heard that the apricot blossom wine brewed by Mrs. is also mellow in the alley, if you open a wine shop, you will not lack food and clothing." ”

Song Muxin mentioned his throat and smiled bitterly: "Shen Er is not kind, and he still has the leisure to entertain me." “

"You should know my way of being an official, and it's not interesting to come here." Shen Zetang said lightly, rubbing his eyebrows lightly, and his face showed a little tiredness.

Song Mu sighed helplessly: "I don't ask the side, I just ask you, last time Qiuyu 'only focused on the first exam and omitted the last choice', until the prison students were wiped out." I am also not convinced, if this is still the case this time, I am afraid that I will be as Shen Er said, so I will have to go back to my hometown to sell wine. ”

Shen Zetang saw that he was depressed, and asked with a smile: "Then how do you think the Qiuqiu scientific examination should be graded and evaluated?" “

Song Mu said bluntly: "The first test should take the mellowness of its scriptures, the second test should take the breadth of its knowledge, and the third test should take its sensitivity to current affairs." The ideas are clear and clear, the words are smooth and beautiful, and the fun and timeless. There is no one who is more important in the three tests, and those who are outstanding according to the standards must be the pillars of our dynasty. “

Shen Zetang bowed his head and did not speak, but the same examiner on the side interjected: "What Song Saijiu said is the same as the basis of Shen Erye's judgment. The initial search for the origin of reason, to discuss its talent, edicts, edicts, expressions, judgments, and words, and to inquire about its political skills, need to be comprehensive and indispensable. “

Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked the same examiner with a thick old face, how was the inmate's writing this time?

The same examiner hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't know, the list will be released in a few days, and it will not be too late for Lord Song to wait patiently." “

"Slippery!" Song Mu's eyes glared angrily.

Shen Zetang didn't listen to their chat, he saw not far ahead, Feng Shunyu carrying a cultural relics box, absentmindedly coming.
