Chapter 249: The Gift of the Heavenly Tower

(Pink Ticket 521)

While everyone pondered the words of the relics. Qiu Weicheng, who looked confused, was pulled away by several students from the same college, and Yu Yu withdrew his hands and looked down at the ink on them.

Dongfang You was also stunned for a moment because of the ink and clear water of the relict jade, and then spoke:

"Master Lu put away your woodcut, although this thing is small, but it is the reputation of my country's eunuch, don't say anything about returning it, Miss Lu, you come up and get the woodcut."

Lu Zhigong responded, put the golden scroll in his hand in his sleeve, and whispered to the relict jade who was thinking about it:

"Xiaoyu, I went to get something first, and everyone is waiting."

If Yu Yu doesn't receive the woodcut, Yibi can't continue, because Lu Zhi's interruption everyone thinks that she is unwilling to accept the woodcut because of the splashed ink, and I don't know if she has another reason, but now the best time has passed, and she has made up her mind when she refuses the woodcut, but it is because of an impulse. At this point, reason prevailed again, and the thought was suppressed.

"Hmm."

Lu Zhi watched her get down, walked into the Mei Building, and under the sideways eyes of the students on both sides, he lifted the curtain and went out, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Yu went around to the bottom of the stairs outside the Mei Building, quickened his pace and walked up, and as soon as he entered the spacious incense corridor, he stared at seven or eight judges two feet away.

Although Dr. Jin of the Academy of Books had a serious expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, the calligraphy competition in previous years was his most beautiful time, but this time he almost lost his hooves, if it wasn't for the Yu Yu to hold down the position, it was not Shen Gongzi of the Academy of Books who won the first place, but Gao Zijian of the Academy of Books, then their Academy of Calligraphy would have lost a lot of face this time.

Yi Yu took a few steps forward, saluted the nine people, nodded to Dr. Jin, and walked towards Dongfang You, who was standing at the railing of the building.

"Sir."

Dongfang You's expression was very kind, "You performed very well in this competition." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."

Dongfang You stretched out his hand to take the woodcut on the tray held by the boy on the side, and under the gaze of everyone watching the building, he handed over the woodcut with both hands, and when Yu Yu reached out to pick it up, he saw the redness and black black between her fingers and wrists, and her expression softened for three points.

Yu Yu looked at the object in his hand. On the golden inkstone the size of her palm and the irregular edge, there is a brush, the inkstone seems to be flowing, and the wooden brush is like a real hair, this vivid and realistic handicraft, at a glance, is from the hand of a famous craftsman, that is, such a small thing, so that the students of the whole country are eager to flock to it.

"Keep it well, it will be useful in the future." Dongfang You said softly in an uncertain voice.

Yi Yu heard the obvious allusion in his words, and thought in his heart that he would definitely ask Lu Zhi for clarification when he went back. She nodded to Dongfang You, and under his reminder, she stood by the shallow railing head-on, her eyes swept towards the blurred figures upstairs and downstairs in the distance.

Just like Lu Zhi yesterday, he bowed in the direction of the bamboo building, paused for a moment before straightening up, clasped the woodcut in his hand with one hand, and leaned out of the building to show everyone, and the sun near noon hit it obliquely, reflecting the brilliant brilliance.

With a "bang", the students of the academy everywhere in the Junzi Building cheered, the meaning of this woodcut. For them, it is the guarantee that this art competition does not need to be at the bottom, and it is the confidence among the people in the outer courtyard, although it is not as good as the Tai Academy, which has already obtained two woodcuts, but in front of the students of the other three colleges, they can hold up their chests.

When Yi Yu bowed to the bamboo tower, the judges in the seats behind him began to whisper:

"This Miss Lu's parents are also here, but what a filial child, the old man has been judging for a few years, and it is rare to see that he can still remember his parents at this time, and the Book of Filial Piety is really in vain." It was Dr. Yan of the Four Gates who said this.

Zha Jiwen was dissatisfied, "What's wrong with your eyes, Lu Zhibu from our hospital also saluted the bamboo tower yesterday!" ”

Jin Qide snorted lightly, "You even have to fight for this, Lu Zhi and Lu Yiyu are brother and sister, born to a father, what is there to fight." ”

Lord Shin, who had few words because his son failed to win, interjected in surprise at this time, "Oh! Yesterday's one and today's one, brother and sister? ”

"Didn't I tell you?"

Lord Shen clasped his palms together and sighed, "Lu Zhi is from a civilian background, I can't imagine that ordinary people can teach such children, and their parents must not be stupid people." ”

Jin Qide stroked his beard and said, "Just as you are talking, I have seen that Mrs. Lu once." She has a good temperament and cultivation, and it is not easy for her to raise her children alone. ”

"Huh? What does Jin Lao mean? ”

"Uh, other people's homes are, it's inconvenient to go outside, it's me who is too talkative."

When the few people were talking, Fang Qiao, who was sitting quietly between them and listening, did not take his eyes off Yi Yu, and a faint look of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Yiyu waited for a long time and didn't see the building quiet, or Dongfang You stretched out his hand to press outside, and the voice of the person became smaller, she put away the woodcut, stood on the side, and listened to him announce the worst.

"There is the best, there is the worst, among the 45 people in the calligraphy this time, I and nine others think that the worst is ......"

Yi Yu listened to Dongfang You say a name, and the voice of kindness and joy in the building just now was instantly covered by ridicule and ridicule, her brows tightened, she pursed her lips without making a sound, and turned her head. Don't look at a rickety figure who was pushed downstairs into the field.

"Ink... Qing Shui, hehe, look at this Miss Lu, she is not very old, but she is thoughtful. Li Ke straightened his clothes and stood up, "Xi'er, will you go to Tianwei Tower with me?" ”

Changsun Xi stretched out her hand and pulled Changsun Xian, who had not made a sound since just now, although she had a smile on her face, she could feel that she was in a bad mood.

"Big sister. Let's go to the Sky Tower, shall we? ”

Eldest Sun Xian said "um" lightly, and said to Gao Yang, who was looking at the opposite floor and gritted his teeth, "Ling, go together." ”

Gao Yang, who had been holding back his anger, stood up suddenly, kicked over the tea case next to him, and strode away with his skirt, the things on the case were scattered all over the ground, but the official who was affected did not dare to be angry or speak.

Changsun Xian's face, which could still maintain a smile, was instantly pulled down, she was so embarrassed by her friends, how could she stand it when she was extremely angry and in a bad mood, she gently pushed away Changsun Xi's hand at the moment, and left alone.

Changsun Xi looked at her back in embarrassment, looked at Li Ke, and then looked at Li Tai, muttered "What's wrong", and stomped after her.

Li Tai's eyes reflected the image of the girl in the distance holding a golden woodcut, raised his left hand lightly, and a guard behind him bent over, he moved his lips sideways, and the guard also left behind Changsun Xi.

Li Ke stroked his placket, said goodbye to Li Tai, and left with someone.

Chang'an City Tianhao Pavilion

In the private room, the mother and son of the Cheng family and the mother and son of the Lu family gathered around a round table, waiting for the food to be served, laughing constantly.

Mrs. Cheng was chattering and asking Lu Zhi about some small childhood things of the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family, Cheng Xiaohu sat next to her mother, holding the small beans on the plate, and listened to them while eating.

The clothes on Yi Yu's body have been changed in the school dormitory, it is a skirt with some dark green flowers last year, she sat next to Lu's side, and she grabbed her left hand and patted it.

Cheng Xiaofeng looked back and forth at the calligraphy woodcut in his hand, and made a rare voice in his mouth, "It's the first time I've seen calligraphy, Ah Zhi." It's so much prettier than the ones you get. ”

"I think the woodcuts of the painting art are simple and cute."

The woodcut on the appearance of the pen and ink inkstone is indeed exquisite, and the jade has been carefully seen on the road, and in the corner of the back, there is a font the size of a grain of rice, and the six words "October of the ninth year of Zhenguan" are engraved, which represents that this is the result of the art competition.

Lu Zhi drank tea, and saw that the spirit on Yu Yu's face was not bad, but in his heart, he saw her red and swollen hands before worrying, but in order not to worry Lu Shi, he couldn't ask more.

"Knock, knock", there was a knock on the door from outside.

After Mrs. Cheng said "come in", two plainly dressed maids carried trays, walked around the screen to the table to set up dishes, and a little second marquis stood in a regular manner, glanced at the woodcut in Cheng Xiaofeng's hand, and said softly:

"A few guest officers, these days are the five academies of the Guozijian art competition, anyone who wins the competition on the same day, holding a woodcut with the shopkeeper of the store, can get a 'four-character card', look at the young lady's hand, but a woodcut?"

When Cheng Xiaofeng heard him say the "four-character card", his face was happy, "And such a good thing?" ”

"How dare the little one coax the young lady."

Lu Zhi also heard about this for the first time, and after a little doubt, he took the woodcut in Xiao Feng's hand, "Then I'll go with you to meet your shopkeeper." ”

Xiao Er's voice paused slightly, "Childe is the one who came out on top today?" Guests who need to win the competition can go to the hotel in person. ”

This day is not as good as other places, and the business is so good that Hongyue Building is not comparable, the shopkeeper of this place is considered to be famous in Chang'an City, but it is not the shopkeeper of those small shops outside.

Mrs. Cheng explained to Lu what the 'four-character card' was, and Cheng Xiaofeng snatched the woodcut from Lu Zhi's hand and put it on the table in front of the jade, and said:

"Xiaoyu, you can go for a trip, that's a good thing."

Seeing Lu Zhi nodding after thinking for a while, Yi Yu shook his sleeves and picked up the woodcut from the table, and Mrs. Tongcheng said to Lu Shi:

"Mother, Aunt Yun, you eat while it's hot first, and I'll come when I go."

***

Xiao Er led the Yu Yu from the second floor to the innermost room in the corridor on the fourth floor, knocked on the door twice, and said to her:

"Miss go in by yourself, I'll wait outside."

Yi Yu felt strange, but she still reached out and pushed open the door of the house in front of her, and as soon as she hesitated to enter the house, the door was closed by Xiao Er from behind with a "click".

Her heart jumped, and Yu Yu didn't have time to see the inside of the room, so she turned around and tried to open the door, but just as her fingertips were about to touch the latch, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind her, firmly grabbing her little hand.

(Ask for a pink ticket!) The daily double change will remain unchanged, and the additional changes of tickets will be made up one after another! The reputation of the fruit is still very good! )
