It's the middle of summer, and the sun is in full swing in the afternoon.

The sunlight shone through the fan-like old locust tree beside the verandah, and the torn mottled leaf shadows fell on his tall back one after another.

Gu Changce raised his black eyes that were as silent as water, and suddenly remembered that he was also on such a sunny day when he first saw Shen Zuihuan.

That was ten years ago, the first year of Motokaku.

The new emperor ascended the throne and created the post of Doctor of the Pentateuch.

Shen Zuihuan's father, Shen Jianzhang, and Wei Wenguang, Wei Zhiyu's father, were promoted to doctors of the Five Classics because of their outstanding performance in the questioning, and for a while, they were in the limelight.

They have been military generals for generations, and they don't know how to write and ink.

The gentleman in the family study was also invited from the first private school outside.

The Chinese military officials of the DPRK are clearly distinguished.

In order to give him a good education, his father gave up his son to go around the Beijing Chinese tea party for a long time.

only then did I get to know Shen Jianzhang, a contemporary Confucian.

And he was also sent to study under Shen Jianzhang by his father when he was fourteen years old.

Become a student under his seat.

It's just that he can't sit still since he was a child, and he hasn't been in the Shen Mansion for two days.

didn't read a few books, but became brothers with Shen Jianzhang's youngest son Shen Qingyou.

Shen Qingyou is only nine years old, he is young, and he also doesn't like to read, but likes to watch him practice swords.

So every time in the afternoon, the two of them were two teenagers, one older and one younger.

carried Shen Jianzhang on his back and secretly put down the scroll in his hand, ran to the back of the rockery in the backyard, and used the branches as swords to fight with each other.

It was a very hot day.

After practicing with Shen Qingyou for a short time, he was covered in sweat.

Almost soaked through the dark shirt he was wearing.

He and Shen Qingyou ran to the backyard to hide under the corridor.

Shen Qingyou wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve.

With a flushed face, he said to the big brother in front of him, who had just met for a short time, but was quite like-minded: "I'll go to the small kitchen in the front yard and steal two bowls of plum ice to cool off, Brother Jing An, you wait here for a while." ”

He was also hot enough, sat on the ground on one knee and waved his hand at random.

Shen Qingyou turned around and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Gu Changce's eyes were slightly closed, and he closed his eyes to recuperate.

All you can feel is the warm wind and the slightly noisy chirping of cicadas.

Suddenly, there was an old sound in my ears of the wooden window being opened.

He raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to see a small white face in the wing room opposite.

The little girl didn't look very old, about eleven or twelve years old.

There is still some baby fat on his face that has not yet dissipated.

It's really beautiful.

Although he is not very old, he has apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a greasy nose, and black hair and cherry lips.

It's not hard to see how the future will be.

The only fly in the ointment is that the little girl has a small face.

With his eyes lowered, he only looked at the scroll in front of him quietly.

Cold as ice.

Gu Changce just looked at her, and felt a burst of coolness in his face.

But at the same time, I also wondered why some people really like to read at a young age?

The youngest sister in his family, Gu Changning, is also about this age.

I prefer expensive jewelry, gorgeous dresses, and I feel a headache when I see a book.

Curious, his two eyes also stared straight at others.

He didn't know how to hide his thoughts at that time.

After being discovered by the little girl, this blazing gaze.

In the panic, there was a "bang-" sound, and the window was lowered.

Gu Changce: ???

What do you mean, don't let me see it.

He touched the back of his head with an innocent expression, thinking that he hadn't done anything offensive to other girls.

I'm thinking about it.

Here, Shen Qingyou came running with two bowls of plum ice in his hand.

When the person first arrived at the corner, he couldn't wait to call his name: "Brother Jing An!" Brother Jing An! I am back. ”

Gu Changce turned around casually.

Shen Qingyou stuffed a bowl of plum ice into his hand.

Start cooling.

Shen Qingyou sat cross-legged next to him.

Holding a white porcelain spoon in his hand, he held Mei Zibing.

A large spoonful of spoonfuls is sent into the mouth.

Happy like a fool.

Gu Changce was a little disgusted with him, and moved his body to the side quietly.

He lowered his head, looked at the white porcelain bowl, and muttered for a moment.

The slender fingers gently patted Shen Qingyou's arm again.

Raising his hand and pointing forward: "The girl who lives in the grass over there... Who is it in your family? ”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyou's face changed: "You just saw my eldest sister?" ”

It turned out that the girl was Shen Qingyou's eldest sister.

Gu Changce lowered his eyes and pondered.

Shen Qingyou's eldest sister... It seems to be called... Shen Zuihuan?

This girl is young in the capital and quite famous.

Even people like him who are not interested in gossip have heard it twice from the jokes in the market.

He said in a light voice, "Hmm." "Yes.

As soon as Shen Qingyou heard this, his little face immediately turned pale.

I wanted to run away with a bitter face and hugged Mei Zibing, but the man sitting next to me grabbed the back collar.

Gu Changce asked him, "What are you running?" ”

Shen Qingyou explained: "Brother Jing An, don't you know, my sister is even more dead-eyed than the gentleman in the school, the two of us sneaked out to play, and she saw it, and when my father asked, she would definitely not help us cover up." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Changce was instantly happy.

How can there be a girl who can't even tell a lie!

Gu Changce pulled Shen Qingyou to sit down again, and opened his mouth to ask him.

"Is your eldest sister also studying with Uncle Shen? Why haven't I seen her on weekdays. ”

Shen Qingyou sneered and said, "Of course you haven't seen it, we have just learned, and we haven't finished reading the four books yet." ”

"My eldest sister is a collection of classics, and she has been studying with Brother Wei in the front yard."

When he heard the words "Brother Wei", he frowned slightly: "Then how can we go into the front yard to study?" ”

Shen Qingyou's face froze, scratched his head and said, "At least you have to pass my father's pass first." ”

Gu Changce lowered his eyelashes.

Look at the white porcelain bowl in his hand.

- Midsummer white porcelain plum soup.

- The crushing of ice against the wall makes a loud noise.

He casually fed a spoonful into his mouth.

I only feel the coldness.

But I thought of the girl who had just drawn the thin willow strips and the hibiscus face.

I felt that my heart was hot and unbearable.

He suddenly patted Shen Qingyou's back as if he had made up his mind: "A month later!" I'm going to the front yard too! ”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyou was stupid.

Stay where you are, stunned.

Gu Changce raised his eyebrows: "What is your reaction?" ”

Shen Qingyou was silent for a moment, thinking of the big brother in front of him who was even worse than him.

His face was embarrassed: "Uh... It's hard to say, but anyway.... I wish you success..."
