Lu Shen stared at Wei Shu, his eyes were as dark as a pool, and he couldn't see to the end.

Wei Shu did not avoid his gaze, and calmly looked at him.

She understood what Lu Shen meant.

Even though the other party only said a few short words, Wei Shu had already heard the meaning beyond the words, and understood the deeper meaning behind the words.

This is where her disappointment comes from.

She was still a little incredulous.

Or rather, a reluctance to believe.

Because she knows the ambition of the Jin people.

In the past 20 years, this barbaric country has never stopped coveting the Great Song Dynasty, and it has never been plotting to peel the skin and bones of our Central Plains China and cut it off by the roots.

There must have been people in the court who saw this. After all, there was a group of the smartest people in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for them not to see the wolf ambitions of their neighbors.

However, when they opened their eyes, they closed their mouths and said nothing.

Wei Shu believed that the reasons given by those who proposed an alliance with the Jin State must have been extremely high-sounding and extremely tenable, and she could even imagine the appearance of these people who were full of courage and loyal to the country when they chanted "For my great Song Dynasty, for my thousands of Li Shu".

They are all very smart people, and they know that before they can speak, they need to make themselves invincible.

After lowering her eyebrows and groaning for a moment, Wei Shu finally opened her lips and said her guess:

"Marriage?"

The marriage of Song and Jin to consolidate the alliance between the two countries was the first thing she thought of.

At the moment when her words fell, Lu Shen's eyes suddenly seemed to be ignited by something, and two extremely bright flames burst out.

However, after a breath, this light was extinguished, and in its place, it was ordinary Wei Shu who was accustomed to indifference.

"The Jin people do have this intention. The girl is so smart." Lu Shen bowed slightly, and the expression on his face was as calm as usual.

Wei Shu looked out the window.

The sky was overcast, the ruins in the distance were blurred in the rain, the wind swept by, and the long grass rose and fell with the wind.

"It doesn't take much ingenuity to guess this." Wei Shu's voice was as cold as before, and she couldn't hear too much emotion:

"Just think about the alliance between the two countries and the haunts of noble women, and you can understand it."

Baishi Academy is attended by women from the royal family, and the Jin people specially proposed to go to observe, naturally they can't want to see those little ladies from ordinary families, or really want to build a girls' school according to the same gourd, their purpose can never be so simple.

And apart from that, the answer is coming.

"Is the official family still in between?" Wei Shu's gaze was still fixed outside the window, and this question was like asking a question to the full court.

Lu Shen picked up the tea cup, blew the tea foam floating on the surface, and said in a loud voice:

"As the girl said, the official family has not yet made a decision. If this is not the case, why does it need to advance the entrance examination? Aren't you afraid that if you bump into each other, you will have a right or wrong?"

He chuckled meaningfully and took a sip of tea.

Wei Shu withdrew her gaze from the window, looked at him fixedly for a moment, and said lightly:

"Yes, the official family is also a human being, and there is also a love of flesh and blood that cannot be parted with, which is not surprising."

Now there are no children, but there are two daughters under his knees, and there are several county lords of appropriate age in the royal family, and for the Great Song royal family, whose clan blood is thin, every junior is precious.

It is on this premise that the academy will have a holiday in advance, so that the people who come to observe the Jin and the nobles of the clan will be staggered.

First, it will not damage the physique, and the defense of men and women will not be broken; Second, if there is a real need for marriage, the Jin people have never seen the noble girl with their own eyes, and they don't know their appearance, and the Great Song royal family will have more room for maneuver.

The people are not as good as their blood relatives, this selfishness of the Son of Heaven has not reached the point of common anger between people and gods, but every time Wei Shu thinks about it, he will always have a sense of trance.

Many years ago, she used to be in such an capacity, holding the national letter and marrying into the beam, the only difference is that

, she is a real princess, but Da Song seems to have other plans.

If King Zheng also had this kind of compassion back then, would Wei Shu's fate as the princess of Zheng Guo be different?

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she put this thought aside, saying, "There are more places in this year's entrance exam, and I think that's why I came."

Lu Shen lowered his head and stared at the teacup, and said, "Hmm" and said, "It is indeed more than forty places. It is said that next year's etiquette courses will be 30% more than usual."

Wei Shu was not surprised at all, picked up the water glass in front of her, and said lightly:

"That's what the title should mean. State affairs are not better than family affairs, and the concubine accompanying is not something that anyone can do, of course, it is necessary to take care of it. Judging from the national etiquette, forty or so escorts is really not much."

This is a marriage between countries, and it is related to the dignity of a country everywhere, so it cannot be ignored.

"Since the entrance exam is advanced, will the start date of next year also be brought forward?" After taking two sips of water, Wei Shu asked.

Lu Shenxian got the exact news, and when he heard this, he glanced at Wei Shu and said with a smile:

"The girl is clever enough to guess again. Next year's start date has indeed been mentioned around the date of the day, so we have to make up for the missing classes this year."

"Good news at last." Wei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, put down the water glass, and smiled lightly.

Lu Shen knew what she was talking about, so he raised the teacup at her, and said with a smile:

"Then the official is here to wish our Changfeng Battalion's secret arrest of the big officials to solve the case in one fell swoop, capture the real culprit, and make the first contribution." …………

On the day of the light snow, Bianjing City was dry and cold without snow, but the north wind cut the ground, blowing the sky full of clouds.

In the Sacred Pavilion of Baishi Academy, several masters were sitting in front of a big case, putting the excellent test papers selected by each person in front of them, waiting to take turns to read the papers.

Outside the window, the north wind hunted, and from time to time the cold wind penetrated into the heavy cotton curtains, making a few shrill low whistles.

The big charcoal pot in the corner of the house is burning vigorously, the doors and windows are also closed, blocking the winter cold outside, and on the small strip at the east end of the house, a pot of narcissus has already hit the flower buds, and there seems to be a faint fragrance.

"Although this year's exam questions are not difficult, it is not easy to answer them well." A man with a slight mandibular beard said first.

His surname is Zhang, his name is shi, and his words are clear, he is the deputy lecturer of the academy, he was born with upside-down eyebrows and slender eyes, and he looks a little bitter, but his bearing is calm, but it also makes up for the lack of appearance.

"Tut-tut, I know that the papers you have on hand must not be good, otherwise your eyebrows would have turned into eight figures."

A loud voice sounded, but the person who spoke was an old man with a white beard, although he was not young, he was full of energy, and when he spoke, he looked even more proud, and he couldn't hide it.
