Chapter 41: Departure

"Master, there's a letter from the capital." Xiao Luzi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jinghao.

On the envelope, there is only a small seal seal, Xiao Jinghao This is a secret letter from the emperor's grandfather. He tore off the seal and took out a page with the words "See the letter, return quickly", a few words, the handwriting was vigorous, but it was slightly lacking in strength.

"Xiaoluzi, prepare your luggage, let's go back to Beijing." Xiao Jinghao's hand holding the letter couldn't help but clench a little. He looked in the direction of Xiyun's courtyard, reluctant, but had to go back.

Xiao Jinghao finished sending the way, he also went back to the room, and saw that Yu Shuqi had a few coughs from time to time, he walked to the table, made a cup of tea, picked up the tea bowl, walked to Yu Shuqi, handed it to him, but his eyes didn't look at him.

Yu Shuqi saw that Xiao Jinghao was so polite, he was stunned for a while, and forgot to take the tea bowl, he looked at Xiao Jinghao indifferently, Xiao Jinghao impatiently stuffed the tea bowl into his hand, and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"What, you're leaving, where are you going?" Yu Shuqi's hand holding the tea bowl shook, the tea accidentally spilled out, and he didn't care about the quilt that was wet with the tea, and stood up straight.

"I'm going back to the capital, maybe we won't have a chance to meet in the future." Xiao Jinghao lost his usual arrogance, and his tone was smooth and slightly low.

Yu Shuqi felt that his nose was more blocked than before, as if he was out of breath. has been with this guy for more than a month, although the two often quarrel and quarrel, but they both know that they have regarded each other as friends.

"Since it's a friend, then I wish you a smooth journey."

"You treat me as a friend?"

"You're so naΓ―ve, it's still acceptable to be a younger brother."

"You guy, who wants to be your brother."

Xiao Jinghao took out a jade bracelet from his arms, handed it to Yu Shuqi, and said, "You give this ring to Sister Liu in the evening and inform her that I am leaving, but I will definitely come back to find her." ”

"Why don't you give her the bracelet yourself and say goodbye to her?" Yu Shuqi looked at this jade bracelet, moist and clear, shiny and bright, it must be extraordinary, thinking that this kid is really willing, it seems that his family is quite rich.

Xiao Jinghao didn't reply immediately, he looked at the bracelet, he just didn't know how to say goodbye, maybe it was best to leave like this.

"Do you remember to give this bracelet to Sister Liu."

"I said that you are really wordy, who cares about your broken bracelet."

While they were talking, Xiao Luzi led people in and quickly packed Xiao Jinghao's luggage. "Master, the carriage is already waiting outside."

Yu Shuqi saw that Xiao Jinghao was really leaving, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he pretended to read the book and didn't pay attention to them.

"I forgot to remind you, don't let my sister Liu see these indecent books, or let her misunderstand me."

"Hey, you kid, you can't leave, it's really noisy."

"I'm gone, I'll see you later."

"There will be no time in the future." Yu Shuqi watched Xiao Jinghao's figure disappear at the door with the afterglow of reading the book, he felt a little depressed, put the book on the table, simply lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Xiao Jinghao walked to the front hall of Shangshanju, and was about to walk out, when he heard someone in the hall say, "I heard that Xiao Zhangyuan went to several local families in the city today to persuade their children to go to school in Shiqi Academy. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinghao couldn't help but be puzzled, he didn't seem to have heard that the clan was the head of this academy, and the imperial grandfather had never mentioned it to him. Thinking of it, he seems to have met such a person in the palace, could it be that he is Xiao Zhangyuan, but now he has no time to confirm his conjecture. He didn't stop any longer, he walked out, got into the carriage, and disappeared from sight with a little dust.

In the hall of Shang Shanju, a few students who were studying were still talking there.

"You don't know, this custom is inherited since the establishment of Shiqi Academy, it is said that when the academy was first founded, there were not many people in Tianshui City who had Dong knowledge, and no one went, but Xiao Zhangyuan led a few academicians, and one household went to explain the yin, so that some people went to study. Later, although there were many people, every time a new student was enrolled, Xiao Zhangyuan would still choose a few local families and persuade them to study. It can be regarded as a kind of etiquette and corporal custom in the academy. ”

When everyone heard this man's explanation, they all showed approving eyes, and they envied those students who were persuaded to study, because they could directly enter the academy.

The man who narrated the narration, wearing a turquoise robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, couldn't help but show some smug looks on his face when he saw the approving glances cast at him.

As soon as the man raised his eyes, he happened to meet Yu Shuqi's eyes, and Yu Shuqi was leaning against a door, looking at the man for a long time. It turned out that after Xiao Jinghao left, Yu Shuqi felt even more bored staying in the room, so he paced to the hall, and when he heard the man talking, he observed him carefully.

The man was handsome and feminine, and his expression revealed a sense of superiority. He saw Yu Shuqi looking at him stunned, a little annoyed. He stepped forward and said in a questioning tone, "Brother, what do you mean by looking at me like this?" Is there something wrong with what I just said? ”

Yu Shuqi was asked like this, his mind couldn't turn around, and he replied, "I see that you look good." ”

The man was suddenly flushed with anger, ignored Yu Shuqi, and turned around and walked to the backyard. Yu Shuqi saw the man leave in a huff, a little inexplicable, did he just say something?

At this time, many people looked at Yu Shuqi with disgust, and Yu Shuqi was also confused. Seeing him sit down, the people who were still sitting on the ground just now all left the front hall one after another, and the shopkeeper Dong came over to ask him what he needed. Yu Shuqi didn't have the heart to pay attention to everyone, and his mind was still stuck in Xiao Jinghao's sudden departure, and he was a little unstretched.

Who knows, what happened in the front hall soon spread to the concubines. When the maiden heard this, she was immediately happy.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiyun, your scholarly brother, you don't really have a habit of breaking your sleeves."

Xiyun heard the girl say this, and her face was also full of question marks, she remembered that Yu Shuqi was very attached to Sister Murong, and said in disbelief, "It shouldn't be, he likes women." ”

Yu Shuqi stayed in the front hall for a while, and when he saw that everyone was evading him, he was very puzzled, and he was not in a very good mood, so he simply ignored everyone. He planned to go to Xiyun and inform her of the news of Xiao Jinghao's departure.

When Yu Shuqi informed Xiyun of the news of Xiao Jinghao's departure, and handed her the jade bracelet, Xiyun looked at this bracelet, and naturally felt a little reluctant in her heart, this person who suddenly broke into her life, she had always treated him as a younger brother, and she left suddenly, she was still a little caught off guard.

"Hey, ugly man, I heard you molested someone in the front hall just now." Seeing Yu Shuqi and Xiyun standing in the courtyard talking, the girl stepped forward and said.

"You ugly girl, how can you tell right and wrong at will." Yu Shuqi glared at Wan Shunu.

"Who said I was talking nonsense, this is a good thing you did in front of everyone's eyes. It's so quick to empathize and don't fall in love. ”

When Yu Shuqi saw Xiyun, he seemed to be smiling on the side, and he was also puzzled, what did he do, how could people today be so strange.

"Sister Xiyun, what did she say?"

Xiyun was a little embarrassed, she couldn't ask him directly if he liked men. But this matter is not something that can be asked clearly, forget it, just point it directly, and say, "That, Brother Shuqi, do you like men?" ”

"What, why do you think of me like that?"

"No, Brother Shuqi, we also heard that you molested a man in the front hall."

"Who made this rumor, let him come out and say a white thing." Yu Shuqi is only white, why everyone avoids him, it turns out that this is the case. He thought of the man in the turquoise robe, no, he had to find the man to come out and say something white.

"You wait, I'll find the man to come out and make it clear." With that, Yu Shuqi hurriedly walked out. When he was at the gate of the courtyard, he accidentally bumped into a woman, but fortunately, he quickly helped the woman who was about to fall to the ground.
