Chapter 252: Ahead
"I'm not cold."
Cheng Yuanniang's voice soon rang out.
She turned her head to look at Cai Lian, a very shallow smile on the corner of her lips, both her demeanor and tone were the same as before, and Fang Cai's strange expression seemed to have never appeared on her face.
However, for some reason, Cai Lian's heart was a little worried, and a trace of cold air climbed on her back.
She didn't dare to look at the smiling face again, she only lowered her head and answered, and what she saw at the end of her eyes was the skirt of Tianshui Bi embroidered silver thread bamboo yarn, and the skirt swept past her, followed by a familiar chuckle:
"Why are you still standing stupidly? Let's go."
Before he could speak, the fluttering skirt was out of sight.
When the master and servant returned to the small study, Wu Fuzi still hadn't arrived, until the snow had polished half of the ink, and Cailian sent the burned small hand stove, and Wu Fuzi was late.
She was about half a moment late, and that was something she hadn't done before.
Naturally, all the women didn't dare to say anything, they all got up and saluted, and after Master Wu returned the salute, he put the bookcase in his hand on the desk, but he didn't open the box to unfold the scroll, but stared at a certain place in the void, and the expression on his face looked a little solemn.
This solemnity soon spread to the whole house, and for a while, there was silence in the small study, and even the big-hearted Cheng Yuejiao felt a little strange.
"I just received news from White Rock Academy." After a few breaths, Wu Fuzi's solemn voice sounded, as if a stone had fallen into the water, breaking the dead silence in the room:
"This year's college entrance examination has been advanced." …………
"You must have heard about the college entrance exam, right?"
Two days later, in the barren courtyard of the Lu Mansion, the drizzle spread the world, dyed the autumn grass all over the garden, and also soaked Lu Shen's voice.
Wei Shu was looking at the newly arrived waist card, pressed the machine bracket a few times, examined all the details, and said leisurely:
"I've heard that this year's entrance exam is a month ahead of schedule, and it's set on the day of Xiaoxue, and the little ladies are stepping up their studies."
She put the new waist card into her sleeve, raised her eyes to look at Lu Shen, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face:
"Yes, the materials are indeed the best choice, Xiao Lu is a believer, thank you."
Lu Shen laughed "heh": "Your Excellency can use it easily."
Wei Shu picked up the coarse porcelain teacup in front of her, took a sip of tea, frowned suddenly, and poured the teacup to the light and looked at it:
"I said, what kind of tea are you? What does it smell like burnt?"
"Cheng Hui Sanwen, good bamboo leaves." Lu Shen smiled at the hospitable host and pointed to the corner of the bookcase.
Wei Shu saw that there was a yellow wax and wax leaf in the corner of the case, and a handful of black lacquer things were piled up on it, and the smell was like burnt dead wood, even with her five senses far beyond ordinary people, she could only distinguish a little tea from the smell.
There is only a trace of it, and it is still far from the word "tea fragrance".
"Let's change the water." Wei Shu frowned and pushed the teacup away.
Lu Shen looked at her for a moment, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face, and he flicked the sleeves of his robe, got up and walked out.
The small stove for boiling water was set up under the window, and there were barely a few remnants of the eaves in that place to shelter from the rain, but there was no fear that the fire would be extinguished.
Wei Shu's eyes swept over the slender back, and she said casually, "What's the point of the college entrance examination in advance? Why did you talk about this in the first place? Questions?"
"It's not very particular, it's just the first time in decades, and as for the problem, there really is."
Lu Shen's voice came through the window, cool and clear.
Wei Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the Joint Investigation Department made a move? There were new clues in that murder case, so I brought the exam to Xiaoxue's day?"
Lu Shen smiled again, and his voice became colder and colder:
"Even the secret capture with the best martial arts in the world has not found any useful clues, and the group of the Joint Investigation Division ...... Man, can you find a ghost?"
He strode into the house with a large pottery cup in one hand
The cup slammed in front of Wei Shu: "Please."
The slightly aggravated tone and movements did not attract Wei Shu's attention, she waved her hand casually, and continued the topic:
"Tell me why. I don't think you're going to bring it up for no reason."
Lu Shen looked at her, and always felt that the woman in front of her was magnificent, and she could draw and poem, but she really shouldn't be sitting in such a big Malaysian golden knife, with a rebellious demeanor, let alone grab a wooden board that was taller than her and throw it up and down in her hand.
"Can you put down the door panel below?" After a long while, Lu Shen spoke.
This door panel fell in the morning, and it took him a lot of effort to lean it against the corner of the wall, intending to have someone repair it later, who thought that this hero would take this thing in his hand as soon as he entered the house, and tossed it up and down like a plaything, and he did not stop even when he checked the waist card.
He really carried half a heart for his own door panel.
"There are only two boards left in the door of the lower house, and I think they are ...... It's not the end of life yet."
Lu Shen spoke again, and the expression on his face could be called solemn.
Wei Shu glanced at him, then at the plank, and the expression on his face stiffened little by little.
She really didn't know that this was the door panel, and when she entered the room, she just thought it was a little strange that it appeared in Lu Shen's study, so she took it casually, never expected that this thing was actually related to a five-grade master...... Face.
Is she playing with Lord Xiao Lu's face in disguise?
"Uh, I'm sorry." Wei Shu sneered, carefully lowered the door panel, and adjusted the position against the wall so that it would not slip.
The worry on Lu Shen's face finally faded, and he looked indifferent and calm again, sat down opposite the bookcase, and said:
"The early entrance examination does have another meaning. As far as this official knows, the envoy of the Jin State has already set off, and they should be in the capital in the next few days of Xiaoxue."
Wei Shu listened without moving, without a trace of ups and downs in her heart.
The alliance between Jin and Song was expected, but it was the first time she had heard of the visit of the Jin State secretary.
In fact, this is also the meaning of the question. The Song and Jin Dynasty united to resist the Liao, and naturally it was impossible to communicate openly in front of the Liao people, and it was indispensable to send envoys to make secret visits.
However, what does this have to do with the entrance examination of Baishi Academy?
Wei Shu didn't throw this question out, only stared at Lu Shen, waiting for his next step.
Lu Shen didn't sell it, and soon said: "I heard that the Jin people have long admired the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty poetry, and they are bent on emulating my Great Song Dynasty's strategy of governing the country to educate the people, and they have the heart to build a women's academy. But they didn't know what the difference between this girls' academy and an ordinary academy was, so they made a request to the officials......
"They're going to White Rock Academy to observe?" Wei Shu immediately took over the conversation.
She didn't look surprised, but there was a subtle hint of disappointment in her eyes.
