Chapter 1 A touch of incense
In the early morning of the second day, Shen Xiu got up and looked at the extremely cold wind outside the window, feeling anxious.
Waiting for the two little scholars to pack their luggage, Shen Xiu stood at the door, silent like the two stone lion statues at the door, and when the hurried footsteps sounded, Shen Xiu raised a smile on his face and said lightly. "Dad, I'm under pressure to go to school."
"Maybe you can slow down with a pear." Shen Xiang smiled softly, his smile was like a locust tree blown by the breeze, which was unpredictable.
"No need, I'm leaving." Shen Xiu looked at Daddy, who was coated with a layer of pale sunlight, and slowly spoke, and the crisp voice mixed into the wind. "Don't you have to say something to me?"
"What do you want to hear?" Shen Xiang's voice was as calm as ever.
"You're just watching your son's name fall to Sun Mountain?" Shen Xiu smiled lightly, the light fell on her eyelashes, and her expression was confused for a moment.
"Daddy believes you're the best." Shen Xiang opened his mouth, and his words were quickly cut off.
"Don't talk about it, I'm so disappointed in you." Shen Xiu narrowed his eyes.
"Your father was the third yuan and the first, and you inherited my bloodline, even if it is the most inferior, it will not be bad." Shen Xiang patted her shoulder confidently.
"If it's too bad, will you say that I wasn't born to you?" There was a subtle hint of disgust in Shen Xiu's tone.
"Are you suspicious of your mother cuckolding me?" Her father fixed his gaze on Shen Xiu's face, his eyebrows furrowed, and he showed a smile, but the smile was like ice floating on the water.
"I don't know." Shen Xiu swept the corner of her father's hand with the corner of his eye, and silently took a step back.
"You stinky boy." When the words fell, Shen Xiang was one step behind Shen Xiu, looking at Shen Xiu who was running away, Shen Xiang shook his head helplessly.
The little boy carefully handed a wooden card to Shen Xiu, who raised his eyebrows, and then strode behind them.
With a creak, the door opened.
The atmosphere was unusually silent.
Wrapped in wetness, Shen Xiu's lips were pale, and in the morning light, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at strange and familiar faces.
The fragrance of flowers blown by the spring breeze gradually dissipated, and Shen Xiu took a step while carefully looking at the two or three tall student records of the invigilator.
Dong Xuelu pulled the corners of his mouth quietly, with a somewhat mocking expression, and then put down the ring ruler in his hand and neatly led Shen Xiu into the seat.
The corners of Shen Xiu's eyes turned up slightly, and in the middle of the eye waves, the slender eyelashes hung down to cover his eyes, and the thick uneasiness in his heart emerged again.
Ye Luo fell in the corner, glanced at Shen Xiu silently, and made a tacit code.
Shen Xiu pursed his lips and did not respond.
The entrance exams are unusually rigorous and different from the usual petty fights.
Not to mention that the seats are disordered, and the number of people supervised has increased several times, and if there is fraud and not reporting, it will be dealt with with in the same room.
also because of the emperor's attention, the children of the powerful dare not disobey.
When the test questions were sent, Shen Xiu looked up and thanked her with a slightly cramped and uneasy politeness, I don't know if it was an illusion, Li Xuelu nodded at her, and his smile was a little meaningful.
With a strong intuition, Shen Xiu looked at Li Xuelu directly, only to see Xuelu pretend to knock on the table inadvertently, and then quickly walked away.
Shen Xiu was silent.
It means that you can't tell what kind of information this is......
Shen Xiu crossed his heart, then cast his eyes on the question and studied it carefully. Xuezheng furrowed his eyebrows, stopped his gaze on Shen Xiu's back, looked at Shen Xiu's somewhat serious expression, thought for a moment, paced two steps, leaned against the wall with his hands spread, and simply didn't care about anything.
Vaguely hearing the rustling sound of writing in his ears, Shen Xiu looked up inadvertently, and saw that the incense in front of him was still burning unhurriedly, fine beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead, biting the tip of the pen, a little embarrassed.
Gu Nianheng's face was slightly sick, and when she pushed open the half-open classroom door, Shen Xiu was immersed in writing, Gu Nianheng watched the sunlight spread all over the desk swirling and dancing on her, and smiled.
After inspecting twice without hurry, Gu Nianheng's footsteps were fixed behind Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu's feet were together, and the pen trembled unconsciously, only to feel that the words in front of him were like poisonous snakes spitting letters, cold.
The sandalwood wafting from his nose made Shen Xiu's expression stiffen, and the light in his eyes dimmed. She knew that Gu Nianheng was coming......
Maybe she should have known in the first place.
Shen Xiu's action of lifting the pen paused, and he quietly looked away from the line of words, couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and looked hard at the person behind him.
As if amused by Shen Xiu's actions, Gu Nianheng's hot breath rushed into Shen Xiu's ears with a little wetness, making Shen Xiu subconsciously put his head together again.
Gu Nianheng whispered in her ear, "The idea is biased. ”
Shen Xiu raised her head suddenly, the voice in her ears fell silent, the voice in her head buzzed, she looked at Gu Nianheng's sun-stained side face blankly, her heart was beating uncontrollably, she could hear the sound of blood flowing in her veins, the flowers in her heart bloomed one by one, and she forgot what Gu Nianheng's lips were spitting out.
Gu Nianheng held his hands behind his back, his expression remained unchanged, and he disappeared in the eyes of a cadre of students.
Liuliuzi sat on Shen Xiu's side, his eyes were on the smiling pupils, he subconsciously tightened his fingers, his ears moved, and he looked at Shen Xiu, who had become a person in just a few moments, frowned, his heart was slightly cold, and he quietly put his straight up and raised his hands high.
Shen Xiu leaned his body against his back, his heart chuckled, and his eyes were sharp and indifferent to look at Liuliuzi.
Xuelu soon stepped forward again, Liuliuzi said two words in Xuelu's ear, and soon, Xuelu's face was deeply wrinkled, and his expression was sad, and then his hands trembled and he took away Liuliuzi's test paper.
Bang.
Liuliuzi moved the table, swept around with a proud expression, glanced at Shen Xiu secretly, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed.
Shen Xiu's heart was weak, but the smile on his face did not change.
Liuliuzi got up in a chic manner, and did not go far in the silent eyes of everyone, Liuliuzi raised his eyes in the long corridor to look at the spring scenery of the grass and warbler flying, and held his head with one hand.
The spring breeze blew through the sunshine all over the ground, Shen Xiu squinted, gritted his teeth secretly, and stared at the leisurely Liuliuzi outside the classroom with vicious eyes.
Gu Xuezheng stood at the front with his back straight, flipped through the scroll casually, and in an instant, the wrinkles on his face trembled with his movements, and his eyes stared at the sixteen princes in the corridor with complicated eyes.
Shen Xiu silently counted the time in the classroom, tilted his ears, and the sighing voice sounded in his mind again, shaking his head, and finding that he was an auditory hallucination.
The faint scent of sandalwood between the nose seems to be weasels
The fragrance treasured on the tail overwhelmingly penetrated into the nasal cavity at a certain moment, Shen Xiu leaned against the windowsill, only to see that the sun was shining outside, and the smell that belonged to Gu Nianheng and the words that fell very lightly were like a dream.
