Chapter 165: Chaoming Tower
Probably because Shen Zhongwen likes archery, the Shen family's shooting range is also larger than the general shooting range.
Shen Qingyu held the bow and arrow that her father had just chosen for her, and pulled the bowstring tremblingly, this was already the smallest bow she had chosen, but she still had some difficulty pulling it.
Shen Zhongwen held her hand, helped her adjust her posture and direction, and then pulled the bow to the full, and said in a low voice, "Let go." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Shen Qingyu's finger holding the tail feather in his right hand loosened slightly, and the arrow left the string and hit the bull's-eye.
Shen Qingyu jumped up happily, "I shot!" ”
Wen Shi said angrily: "Did you shoot it?" ”
Shen Zhongwen said: "Why not! It was shot by Qing Yu. ”
He turned to Shen Qingyu, "It's good to practice more, your father and I are a marksman, how can my daughter be bad!" ”
Wen said coolly: "Yes! Be! Be! You know that she spoils her, no wonder she likes this dad more than my mother! ”
Shen Qingyu threw away the bow and arrow, pounced on the Wen family, and said coquettishly: "I like you the most, no one can compare." ”
In fact, Shen Qingyu understands very well that she likes Shen Zhongwen more than Wen's, not because Shen Zhongwen is more competent as a father, and because he is busy with things and has little time to spend with her.
And in these only moments, Shen Zhongwen naturally didn't ask Shen Qingyu too much, he did his best to meet all her requirements.
But Wen is always worried about her and thinks about her, which cannot be compared.
Hearing Shen Qingyu's words, Wen's face, which had been flat, smiled, and she pinched Shen Qingyu's cheek, "You! There's a mouth. ”
The family of three was enjoying themselves, and Zhang Jing hurried over from outside, "My lord, your letter." ”
Shen Zhongwen opened the letter printed with fire paint, and after reading it carefully, he kept frowning, he took Zhang Jing to a place a little farther away from Wen's mother and daughter, and said, "Can this letter be clear?" ”
"No, this letter was sent to his subordinates in the name of my brother."
Shen Zhongwen let out a "hmm".
Zhang Jing asked, "Do you want to reply?" ”
Shen Zhongwen shook his head: "No need." You should have never received this letter. ”
Zhang Jing endured it, but still asked, "King Liang, did he really sneak into Beijing?" ”
Shen Zhongwen didn't answer, just glanced at him coldly.
Zhang Jing immediately lowered his head: "It's a subordinate who has exceeded the rules." ”
Shen Zhongwen rubbed his sleeves, which was a common action he often made when he thought, as if this would make his mind clearer.
King Liang secretly entered Beijing, of course, this is a big deal, King Liang is the younger brother of the current Holy Mother's compatriots, and the relationship has always been close, but since the accident of His Royal Highness Seven a year ago, the relationship between the two has been a little delicate.
King Liang asked for instructions more than once and was denied a desire to return to Kyoto, which had never happened before. He secretly entered Beijing this time, if he was discovered by the saint, how would it end at that time.
Based on Shen Zhongwen's personal relationship with King Liang, he should not and cannot reveal King Liang's whereabouts, but he also knows very well that he has only one choice.
He looked back, Shen Qingyu was pulling Wen's family, as if he wanted Wen's hand to shoot arrows, he calmed down, and said: "It seems that I can't continue to accompany me today, you go to prepare the carriage and horses, and my wife and I will leave as soon as I say goodbye." ”
Zhang Jing was ordered to leave, and Shen Zhongwen also told Wen's mother and daughter that he had something to leave.
Wen and Shen Qingyu stayed for a while, and Wen suddenly said, "You haven't been out for a few days, have you?" Mother accompanies you to go out for a walk. ”
Shen Qingyu, who had just finished a long trip: "......"
Wrong! It's so wrong!
After Shen Qingyu sat in the carriage, she was still wondering why Wen, who was committed to cultivating her into a beautiful lady who did not leave the door, took her out to play again.
The carriage stopped in front of a building, and Shen Qingyu thought it was a place, but the carriage continued to move forward, bypassing the main entrance of the building and entering a courtyard from the side.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was greeted by two maids, who led the way, first through a long corridor, then up the wooden steps, and finally into a room.
The room is freshly and elegantly furnished, with a golden landscape picture hanging on the wall. In the inner room, there is a table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is similar to the study.
Shen Qingyu said in a daze: "Mother, where is this?" ”
Wen smiled: "Chaoming Tower." ”
Chaoming Building?!
Shen Qingyu remembered that Chaoming Tower was a school building frequented by scholars and scholars in Shengjing, and her brother had been in and out of it for a while.
But what did her mother bring her here for?
Before she could think through it, there was a knock on the door of this room.
Wen motioned forsythia to open the door, and a teenager walked in through the door.
The person who came had clear eyebrows and upright eyes, and his gestures were upright and modest, it was Wen Zicheng who had not seen Shen Qingyu for a long time.
Wen Zicheng saluted the Wen family, all the salutes, and nodded to Shen Qingyu before saying, "What do you have to tell your aunt to call Zicheng?" ”
Wen: "What's the order?" It's just that I know that you are participating in this year's Spring Festival, so I want to ask you something about the imperial examination, you know, your cousin is going to enter in three years, I just want to know something in advance. ”
Of course, this is an excuse, even if you really want to ask, with Shen Zhongwen here, why take a long detour to ask Wen Zicheng.
Of course, everyone can understand such a simple truth, even so, Wen Zicheng still walked along the steps of the Wen family. "If there is anything my aunt wants to know, I must know everything."
Wen smiled and praised: "It's really good!" Unlike your cousin who is always restless. ”
Shen Qingyu, who was innocently shot: "......"
Wen said that he was asking about the imperial examination, but in fact, he was just gossiping, and he had to ask Shen Qingyu to say more from time to time.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Shen Qingyu always felt a little strange, and she felt that she had figured out a lot of things after some hindsight.
Wen is probably a drunkard, not in wine, because the emperor mentioned a mouthful of His Royal Highness Seven, she decided to match her nephew and Shen Qingyu, and the marriage that was originally not favored by her became satisfied after being compared.
It was too obvious that she was not doing well, so she soon stopped making a sound, and instead asked people to open the window to hear what was being said in the building.
Now the most lively and most popular discussion in the building is naturally the matter of the imperial examination.
Due to fraud in the imperial examination last year, the imperial examination was held again this year, but the spring festival in February was postponed again and again until mid-April.
The chief examiner of this scientific examination is the head of the dynasty, and this will probably be the last scenery in his career as an official, and it can be seen that the emperor intends to give him a decent ending.
Wen Zicheng participated in this year's Spring Festival, and Shen Qingyu thought of Xue You, who disappeared in the previous case, if nothing else, he should also be one of the people who participated in this year's Spring Festival.
