Chapter 14: Brother
When Mrs. Su came out, she humbly asked Dean Wen if he was satisfied with the performance of their class this time, and after asking a sentence or two, he realized what he had to do, and when he turned his head, he saw that the Dean was walking on the side, his face was as cold as ice......
Mrs. Su suddenly chuckled in her heart, and just wanted to say something to break the deadlock, when she looked up and caught a glimpse of the end of the corridor outside their class, Princess Zhaohua was waiting there.
The day before yesterday, the engagement banquet between the dean of the Hanlin Academy and Princess Zhaohua was so grand, everyone in the whole Chonghua knew about it, and at this time, Princess Zhaohua was still waiting outside the courtyard, and Mrs. Su finally got a sense of it, coughed and said: "Then I'll go to the pavilion first and wait for the dean." β
However, in fact, Wen Yunjin didn't notice that someone was waiting for him, the air pressure around him was very low, and the long legs that stepped out drove the hem of the robe, and the wind and snow behind him made it more and more difficult to approach.
until he was stopped by Sheng Zhaohua.
Sheng Zhaohua did come to find Wen Yunjin...... Look at the jokes.
She looked up slightly at the man in front of her and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Dean Wen is closed." β
Wen Yunjin only glanced at her, and her face became a little colder, "Is there something wrong with the princess?" β
Sheng Zhao drew his small hand behind his back, leaned against the stone pillar next to him, and said: "Today, the whole academy is spreading that the dean came to the Taixue Academy to meet me with his official position, but the dean went to his sister's class to listen to the class, which is also too touching." β
After a long time, Wen Yunjin replied: "Weichen is just a normal job. β
Sheng Zhaohua sneered, said "The dean is better", straightened up and left.
Β·
A few days later, the Taifu of each class notified that Master Gaoling would come to the capital in three days, and was invited to Taixuefu, taking this opportunity, Taixue will start a painting competition, and Master Gaoling will personally select his protΓ©gΓ©s.
As soon as the students of Taixue heard that Master Gaoling would personally select the leader, most of them were excited to try, and they wanted to win the first place in this competition, you know, Master Gaoling is not only famous in Chonghua, but also in the neighboring countries such as Daqin and Northern Liao, it is also famous all over the world and is deeply admired by the world.
Many students who are good at painting in Taixue almost unanimously think that if such a good opportunity can be used to make Master Gaoling look at his paintings through this competition, it will basically be to become famous in Shangdu City.
There are even people who are whimsical, I heard that Master Gaoling has traveled all over the world in the past few years, and has not found a favorite apprentice who can inherit the mantle, maybe this time Master Gaoling is here to collect apprentices.
Because of this, many students participated in the competition this time, and even Princess Zhaohua also participated.
After listening to this, Wado pondered for a long time, drew with a bold pen for a while, and finally ran to Si Xuan complacently and asked, "Si Xuan, how is my painting?" Do you think Mr. Gao Ling will take a fancy to my painting? β
Si Xuan looked at the painting that was shoehorned onto the table for a while, his eyelids twitched slightly, he raised his head, and proposed very seriously: "Waduo, don't participate." β
Wado lay down on her desk with a broken face, "Is it so ugly? β
"Not really."
Wado's eyes were just about to light up, when he heard Si Xuan add, "I can't see it." β
"......" Wado was completely shocked and gave up, but she quickly thought of something, sat up and asked, "Si Xuan, then do you participate?" β
Si Xuan shook her head, the small business house under the plate was still being rebuilt, and she didn't have time to get this.
The deadline is three days later, that is, the day Master Gao Ling came to Taixue to select the leader.
Sheng Zhaohua is very concerned about this competition, although she is the princess of Chonghua, but in the eyes of the people of Shangdu City, she does not have any talent for this princess, but she has been pressed by the small county lord of the Si family since she was a child, and it is also in the past two years that the eyes of the people of Shangdu have gradually returned to her princess.
And this is a good opportunity for her to become famous, and Sheng Zhaohua will naturally not miss it.
She has been concentrating on painting for the past few days, changing it over and over again, and it was not until half an hour before the deadline that Shengzhao finally stopped her pen and rolled up the scroll to hand in the manuscript.
It's just that Sheng Zhaohua was anxious for a while, and on the way to Gezhai to deliver the manuscript, he accidentally collided head-on with a student, and unfortunately, the student was holding a water bladder in his hand, and the moment he hit it, he splashed on the scroll painted by Sheng Zhao.
Sheng Zhaohua opened the scroll with shaking hands, and a large piece of ink blurred open, which was simply miserable.
The student was so frightened by this scene that his neck stiffened, and he trembled and apologized: "Gong, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" β
If it were to be changed to usual, Sheng Zhaohua would definitely not let go of this guy, but now she only has half an hour of delivery time, plus the queen mother has told her to be dignified and virtuous outside, Sheng Zhaohua had to endure the irritability in his heart and say "It's okay", roll up the painting and leave.
Sheng Zhaohua only twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then turned around and walked in the direction of Si Xuan's class courtyard.
Speaking of which, Shengzhao painting, like Si Xuan, began to learn painting when she was a child, and she learned it before Si Xuan, but she has to admit that Si Xuan's talent in painting is better than her, otherwise Si Xuan would not be so favored by the imperial grandmother.
Therefore, at this critical moment, the only thing Sheng Zhaohua could think of was that only Si Xuan, who was also in the Taixue Academy, could help her with this.
Si Xuan was writing a question in the class courtyard, and when she heard the people in the class saying that Princess Zhaohua had something to look for her, she frowned slightly, put down her pen and got up to go out.
Sheng Zhaohua stood outside the corridor of their class courtyard, looking anxious.
Si Xuan walked over, and before she could speak, Sheng Zhaohua took her hand and walked out, until she walked to the back garden where there was no one else, Sheng Zhaohua let go of her, glared at Si Xuan, and told her all about the problems she was encountering now.
"Now there's only half an hour left, and it's too late to redraw, I ...... Didn't want to miss this opportunity. β
Si Xuan listened to her without waves, and replied: "This has nothing to do with me." β
Si Xuan's reaction was expected by Sheng Zhaohua, so she continued without thinking about it: "...... You do me this favor and I'll tell you a secret. β
"Not interested."
Sheng Zhaohua threw sweetness at her: "Aren't you interested in the secret of why your brother is engaged to me?" β
When she said this, Sheng Zhaohua silently thought in her heart, although a certain dean didn't plan to let Si Xuan know about it, but at the moment, she couldn't care about it so much, so she could only betray Wen Yunjin.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Si Xuan slowly raised his eyelashes, stared at her for a long time and asked, "What secret?" β
"You say yes first."
This time, Si Xuan was silent for only a moment before nodding.
Sheng Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief at this time, opened the bookbag she brought over, re-spread her scroll, and said while opening the color palette: "I am a fake engagement with Wen Yunjin, I don't know what his purpose is, but because I don't want to be sent to Northern Liao for marriage, my marriage contract with him only lasts for three months, and the engagement will be dissolved after three months." β
Si Xuan stared at her motionlessly and did not speak immediately.
Sheng Zhaohua couldn't wait, and when he saw that she was still stunned in place, he couldn't help asking: "I've already told you, you don't want to cheat, right?" β
"Oh."
Si Xuan's shallow eyelids lifted slightly, and he finally came back to his senses and answered.
At this time, the student's hairband behind him was swaying slightly by the wind, Si Xuan raised his fingers and rolled into his hair, and when he picked up the brush, the curvature of his fingertips was slightly curled, and he tried his best to hold back his uneven mood.
Si Xuan calmed down, re-examined Sheng Zhao's paintings, most of the ink traces on the paintings were smudged badly, Si Xuan thought for a moment, took the color palette in Sheng Zhao's hand, re-adjusted it to glass blue, and then covered it.
Mixed the original routine of a picture of going to sea into a dream form.
In less than three quarters of an hour, Si Xuan took back his pen, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his fingers stained with paint, and said, "It's okay." β
Sheng Zhaohua looked at the changed painting in front of him, was silent for a long time, and had to admit: "...... Changed very well. β
Si Xuan didn't say anything, finished the task and turned around and left.
After returning to the class courtyard, Si Xuan went to class as usual, and when the bell rang for the end of school, Si Xuan stuffed the paper and pen into his book bag, got up and walked out.
Wado chased after him and asked, "Si Xuan, it's snowing today, aren't you staying in the dormitory?" β
Si Xuan paused, turned around and said, "I have something to do today." β
waved goodbye to Wado, and Si Xuan walked out of the Taixue Mansion.
Because Si Xuan didn't say that she wanted to go back in advance, the county lord's mansion naturally thought that she had been living in the Taixue Mansion for the past few days, so she didn't send someone to pick her up.
Si Xuan came out in a hurry, she even forgot to bring her cloak, and she felt cold halfway through the snow road next to the forest road, so she didn't go back to get it, sniffed and continued to walk forward.
About half an hour later, Si Xuan finally walked outside the Hanlin Courtyard.
When the guards went in to report, Si Xuan was already mentally prepared and waited outside like last time, but not long after the guards went in this time, Zhao Changlin walked out and led her in.
This is also the first time that Si Xuan has come to the Hanlin Academy where Wen Yunjin is located.
The Hanlin Courtyard is much larger than she imagined, the garden landscape is open and good, and the layout of the pavilion is solemn and solemn, which makes people daunting.
After passing through the corridors of Louxuan, Si Xuan finally came to the Cloud Pavilion of the Dean of the Hanlin Academy.
Zhao Changlin gently pushed open the door of the Cloud Pavilion and invited her in.
The cloud pavilion was spacious and bright, and Si Xuan saw that there were several officials on the other side of the table talking to Wen Yunjin, but she only had time to glance at it, and before she could see Wen Yunjin's appearance clearly, she was led into the pavilion by Zhao Changlin.
"The dean is not done yet, the county lord can rest here for a while."
Si Xuan nodded.
When Zhao Changlin walked out, Si Xuan didn't sit down, she stood in front of a row of bookshelves in the alcove, looking up.
I don't know how long it was, until I heard footsteps behind me.
Si Xuan came back to his senses and turned away.
Wen Yunjin saw the thin and petite figure turn around.
Si Xuan was still wearing the thin white student uniform, carrying a bag on his shoulder, and the tip of his nose was red, looking at him.
Then he called him, "Brother." β
Si Xuan's lips were rosy and full, and he only opened when he called his brother, and his voice was as soft as a cloud.
Wen Yunjin opened her eyes from her lips, turned around and closed the window next to the table, and lowered her head to arrange the collar casually, covering the slowly sliding Adam's apple, and said with a flat breath: "What are you doing?" β
