Chapter 230: October 11
(pink 371)
Night. The lights in the study room of the small building are still on, and every once in a while, you can hear two crisp sounds of falling children.
Yi Yu smelled the faint incense, remembering the place where Li Tai's fingers had slashed, but his eyes were a little fluttering.
After she came back in the evening, Li Tai had dinner alone and instructed her in archery, but she was not given any chance to speak in the middle, and sat down quietly at this time, only to remember that since she came back, she had not mentioned the matter of the five courtyards art competition at all.
Although she will be chosen, there is nothing to congratulate about this kind of long-expected thing, Li Tai must be able to guess from her reaction, but she thinks that it is better to be officially said by him now that he is helping like this.
"Your Highness." After the jade was remembered, a son was left behind.
"Huh?" As soon as Li Tai's voice arrives at night, it will be a little lighter, and it will be covered with a lazy tone.
"In the morning, Dr. Jin went to the teaching house and personally ordered the candidates for the reference of the Academy, and I was among them." It's a bit weird to say something that's already obvious.
Li Tai's index finger paused over the chessboard, and suddenly looked up at the relict jade. After his blue eyes flickered, he said slowly, "I know." ”
After speaking, he continued to point to the movement, and a smile just appeared on Yu Yu's face, but a small hand wearing a white dot on a brown background suddenly flashed in his mind, and his lip line became smooth again.
She secretly told herself not to think about the mess yet, and quickly refocused her mind and stared at the chessboard seriously.
......
The next day, although there was no need to go to class, Yiyu did not sleep lazy, and was served by Pingtong and Pinghui, washed his hands and face with hot water, and drank a small half bowl of porridge.
Although it was cold, the air in the morning was excellent, and Yu Yu had learned a lesson the day before yesterday, and he had to do a warm-up exercise in the house before coming out, and it was better to be looked at by the two maids than by the pair of master and servant.
After she hung up her quiver and stood on the red footprints with a bow, Li Taicai walked out of the study, and after saying hello, she consciously raised her bow and arrows.
Li Tai saw the new finger cuff on her finger at a glance, pressed the finger to her shoulder socket and retracted it, and said nonchalantly, "Go and change it back." ”
"Huh?" After Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, she understood what he was talking about - let her go and change the old pair of finger sleeves.
"Your Highness, I wear this very well." It was rare for Yu Yu to insist on her own opinion when she practiced archery, just because she knew very well that she didn't want to wear that set of things that were obviously used by others.
Li Tai glanced at her. When his body was about to move, Ah Sheng, who was standing on the side of the corridor, hurriedly said loudly:
"Miss Lu, the master taught you how to practice archery, you can't change the bow during the period, otherwise the accuracy will be worse, and when you finish practicing, it's not too late to use your new one!"
Yi Yuhu looked at Ah Sheng suspiciously, considering that the progress of archery is the most important thing at present, she compromised after a little thought, Li Tai's method of pointing her archery was very strange, although Ah Sheng's statement was not very reliable, but it was likely to be true.
She obediently went to change the old finger covers, and after a few fists, the faint stiffness of the knuckles subsided, and Li Tai saw her movements in his eyes, and his brows tightened.
***
When Yi Yu got up early to practice archery, Lu Zhi was in the study in the Guiyi Fang house, looking through the notes of the small wooden tube one by one with a calm face.
Lu Yao stood in front of the desk, saw that his face was not very good-looking, and said, "If you are in trouble." It's better to discuss it with the master. ”
Although these small wooden tubes with notes were taken from various hidden places in Chang'an City, he didn't know what the notes Lu Zhi read meant by them.
Lu Zhi calmed his tense face and looked up at the young man in front of him, who was always dressed in pale clothes.
Regarding the matter of their family of four, almost everything Lu Zhongzhi knows, Lu Yao knows, Lu Zhi can understand a little, why Lu Zhongzhi trusts this young man who is nominally his servant so much, he doesn't talk much, but as long as he speaks, he is very accurate, his martial arts are high, and the things he is given to him are never dragged.
However, Lu Zhi will not be stupid to let him know too much about his own affairs, this person is still Lu Zhongzhi's person in the end, not his Lu Zhi's.
"It's not a trouble, it's just that I've been looking for a few days, but I haven't heard that there is Mu Changfeng in Beijing." Lu Zhi didn't lie, his subordinates did not detect Mu Changfeng's existence.
But he didn't find out, so he was more sure that the mysterious middle-aged man who sent a secret letter to him that day and invited him to meet him in the Magenta Mansion, claiming to be surnamed Mu, must be Mu Changfeng!
After the two made a simple deal, they never contacted each other again, and after learning about the relationship between Han Li and Mu Changfeng, Lu Zhi asked people to go to the vicinity of the Magenta Mansion that night to find the man surnamed Mu.
The news of today's return made his heart sink, not only did he not find out about the existence of the man surnamed Mu. Even the old bustard who had led him into the Magenta House that day had inexplicably disappeared.
According to the beneficiary of the transaction with Mu Changfeng, he vaguely guessed that he might be a person in the tripartite succession to the throne, and Li Tai had almost nothing to do with the Magenta Mansion and could be directly excluded, and the rest were Li Ke and Li Chengqian, both of whom were frequent visitors to the Magenta Mansion, and Li Ke also had a special relationship with an Oiran named Shen Manyun in the building.
If Mu Changfeng is Li Chengqian's person, but if he is Li Ke's person, it will be intriguing, Han Li was the person who was hidden behind King An, and now Mu Changfeng is hidden behind King Wu, they are not the most likely to succeed to the throne of the prince, the two of them have a close relationship, if it weren't for Lu Zhongzhi who painted a portrait of Han Li and described his body shape and appearance to him, Lu Zhi would definitely suspect that the Mu Changfeng he saw that day was Han Li.
Things have come to this point, looking for Han Li to get evidence has become secondary and unnecessary for Lu Zhi, but it is the mystery shrouded in them that interests him even more.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhi wrote a letter, packed it and handed it to Lu Yao, and explained a few words to him, and the young man in pale clothes left through the wide open window.
***
Two days have passed. On October 11th, the first day of the Five Courtyards Art Competition, according to the customary art of the qin, the relics have decided to discard it, and only need to mark the name of the sacrificial wine when they arrive.
Xu is not beautiful, early in the morning when practicing archery, I saw a lot of dark clouds hanging in the gray sky, and when she finished breakfast, when she was about to go out, she did not see any improvement in the sky, but it was more gloomy.
Yi Yu went to the East House to say goodbye to Li Tai, but was told by Ah Sheng that he was bathing. Back in her room, Pingtong and Pinghui had already packed her things.
Yi Yu pointed to the bulging small cloth bag in Ping Tong's hand and said, "What is in here, you want to bring it to me?" ”
Pingtong said: "The slaves and maids know that the young lady is going to participate in the art competition of the five courtyards, and they specially asked Steward Li, this bag is full of food, don't you need to participate in the competition today, when the time comes, you can sit dry, and there are some snacks to pass the time." ”
Yu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, was this when her children went on an outing or went to the theater, with snacks?
But people have worked hard to prepare all morning, she will not refuse, the two maids sent her to the carriage at the door, Pingtong shook off the cloak hanging in the crook of the arm and draped it on the back of the jade, tied the belt, helped her to get into the car, handed her the cloth bag with a curtain in one hand, and took the umbrella in Pinghui's hand and stuffed it into the car.
"Miss, it looks like it's going to rain this day, don't get drenched, remember to bring an umbrella when you get off the bus."
It's not enough to talk to her again, and I told the driver to remember to remind her, and Yiyu is happy in her heart, and she feels more and more like she is going to participate in an art competition, just a child going to play.
Yesterday, I had agreed with Lu Zhi that she would go out a quarter of an hour earlier than them in the morning and meet at the back door of the school dormitory, after all, she was under the sign of living in the school, and she could only go back to the secret house at night.
The carriage stopped across the street from the back door of the school dormitory, and Yi Yu straddled the cloth bag diagonally on her shoulder, took the umbrella and jumped out of the car. Ward off a lot of chills.
This is the time of the hour, and the art ratio of the five courtyards starts at the third quarter of the hour.
In the past, it was very quiet at the back door of the dormitory, on the first day of the five academies, it was even more deserted, yesterday Mu Xiu, there were very few students staying in the dormitory, and today they all walked from the front. Yi Yu stood at the back door of the dormitory for nearly a quarter of an hour, only to see two students walking in the backyard.
After waiting for a while, he saw the familiar carriage driving into his eyes, driven by the strong man with square head and big ears, smiling politely at her as he reined in his horse.
After Lu Shi and Lu Zhi got out of the car, they saw the relict jade standing outside the door of the dormitory blowing cold wind, Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and closed the cloak in front of her tightly, and reached out to touch her little face.
"It's all frozen, it's not going to wait in the house!" Lu Shi was more than half a head taller than Yi Yu, and he took her and walked towards the door.
"It's early," Yi Yu was wrapped tightly by her, and turned her head to ask Lu Zhi with difficulty, "Big brother, what should I do if it rains, is it better than that." ”
One of the piano skills is a competition in a walled building in the back garden of Guozijian, a three-storey four-sided walled building, which can sit hundreds of people, these visitors are not drenched in the rain, but what about the students who want to compete in the open air in the center of the ground floor?
Lu Zhi confessed a few words to the coachman, and then strode to catch up with them, and said: "The comparison is definitely comparable, in previous years, there were also rain and snow in the art competition, and it never stopped, anyway, if you want to abandon it, even if it rains, it won't be able to catch you." ”
The mother and son walked through the long flower corridor at the front door of the dormitory, and when they arrived in the back garden, the voices of the people in their ears gradually became louder, and at a glance, groups of students wearing various colors of regular clothes walked out of the other road in front of them and walked towards the northwest walled building.
Far away, Yi Yu could hear their loud discussions, arguing about today's piano skills competition, who can come out on top.
"Go over there." Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed to another road leading to the walled building, on which several students were walking slowly in winter clothes and accompanying their parents, apparently that the road was reserved for reference students.
(It's the end of the month, the pink ticket in the hands of the courtesy!) )(! )
