Chapter 54: Still apologizing
Dark Fragrance House.
"Sister!" Shen Yan'an panted and ran into the Dark Fragrance Residence, and saw Shen Yanshu sitting on a big tree hanging a swing, he stepped forward and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"I suddenly wanted to swing, so I was planning to make one myself. ”
Shen Yanshu didn't raise his head, skillfully used the rope to wrap around the trunk several times, and then tied a dead knot, pulled it hard, and began to tie the rope at the other end when it was strong.
Shen Yan'an looked at her with a surprised look on his face, and said, "It's good to let someone do this kind of thing, how dangerous it is for you to climb so high!"
Shen Yanshu didn't care: "It's okay, I'm idle anyway." ”
The maids in her yard are okay with their usual work, but if they really let them climb the tree and make a swing, they will probably be scared.
The green kite held the ladder steady and let Shen Yanshu slowly descend the ladder.
Shen Yan'an also hurriedly stepped forward to help hold the ladder, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, if the maid in your yard can't get this kind of thing in the future, I can help you!"
Shen Yanshu patted the dust on his hands, then pinched Shen Yan'an's white face, and said with a smile with crooked eyes: "Don't worry, your sister and I are not so hypocritical, just climb a tree." ”
Shen Yan'an's face was pinched and deformed by her, he ripped off his sister's "claws" dissatisfiedly, and sighed, his sister really went further and further on the road of everyone's beauty.
"By the way, why did you come here suddenly?" asked Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yan'an patted his head, almost forgot about his business, and said: "Sister, your calligraphy score is the top of the list, hand-picked by the emperor! I heard that Zhaodetang has changed the ranking." ”
"Oh. Shen Yanshu nodded.
Shen Yan'an looked at her not salty and indifferent attitude, and repeated again: "The calligraphy score is the top of the list, shouldn't you be surprised, sister?"
"I'm so happy. Shen Yanshu said, but there was no extra calm on his face.
Shen Yan supported his forehead, but he didn't dwell on it, and continued: "In this way, you already have four subjects that are at the top of the list, so Qi Huan can't win no matter what, my sister doesn't have to apologize, and the money we pressed in the gambling house has increased fivefold!"
When Qing Kite heard this, she said happily: "Miss, even if there is no case silver in the future, we will not be afraid." ”
"This is thanks to King Zhaojun, if he hadn't gone to the emperor with his sister's calligraphy and painting, this result might not have been changed. Shen Yan'an said, but he was a little puzzled: "Sister, why did you say that this King of Zhaojun suddenly came to see the school examination of this Zhaode Hall?"
Although it is a well-known thing that King Zhaojun has always loved collecting calligraphy and paintings, he would not go to see the school examination of Zhaodetang in previous years, after all, they are all young women, and it is not common to be able to write good characters, and there is no need to join in the fun like others.
Shen Yanshu was stunned by his words, thinking of Yan Qinghan's guy, she naturally knew that King Zhaojun was found by him, but she didn't understand why Yan Qinghan wanted to help her.
It's not just King Zhaojun, but also during the painting exam, that guy has been hanging around her exam table, never leaving, how could she not know that it is for herself not to be hacked by others.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" Shen Yan'an looked at her in a daze, and shook his hand in front of her.
Shen Yanshu came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't figure out how King Zhaojun appeared, it's probably just a coincidence." ”
While they were talking, a small servant beside the old lady suddenly came to send a message to Shen Yanshu to go to the main courtyard.
Shen Yan'an asked the little guy: "Why did grandfather suddenly call my sister over?"
The little servant replied: "I don't know, but the old lady just heard that the third lady won the calligraphy school exam, maybe it's because of this reason." ”
Shen Yan'an nodded, and because he was happy, he gave the little guy a little money, and turned to Shen Yanshu and said, "Grandfather must be happy, so he wants to give my sister something good, right?"
After all, the four subjects are all at the top of the list, and this kind of honor is a very face-saving thing in the eyes of my grandfather.
Shen Yanshu listened to his words, and just laughed: "You think too much." ”
Shen Yan'an said: "I also want to go over together, and if there is anything good, I will share a little." ”
"If you're not afraid of being scolded, let's do it together. ”
The two sisters and brothers still came to the main courtyard where Shen Jun was together, and Shen Jianzhi and Song were also there.
Shen Yanshu and the two stepped forward to salute and say goodbye.
Seeing Shen Yan'an, Shen Jun was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't care too much.
"Sister Shu came just in time to talk to your grandfather about you. Song said with a smile.
Before Shen Yanshu could speak, Shen Jun had already said: "I have already asked your aunt to prepare some gifts, and tomorrow after you have taken the two homework of etiquette and arithmetic, I will take these gifts to the Taifu Mansion to apologize." ”
"Why?" asked Shen Yan'an in surprise.
Obviously, my sister has already won the top spot in four subjects, why did she let her apologize to Qi Huan.
Shen Jianzhi said: "We know that Sister Shu did well in the school exam this time, and many people see your bet with the young lady of the Qi family, but it is not appropriate to settle the dispute, you have already won, you have to be a little gentlemanly, don't make things too ugly." ”
Song Shi agreed: "That's right, how can you say that Taifu Qi has a lot of prestige in the court, if there is a disagreement, I am afraid it will also affect your father's career." ”
Shen Yanshu had expected this result a long time ago, no matter whether she won or lost, she was the one who came to apologize in the end.
It's just that the difference is that if she apologizes after she wins, she can get a good reputation, but Qi Huan doesn't accept it, that's another matter.
Shen Yanshu said: "Grandfather is right, granddaughter can save it, but granddaughter wants to wait for the school exam of the imperial shooting to end before going to the door." ”
Shen Jun didn't expect her to agree so smoothly, and after thinking for a while, he also agreed to her words.
"Then you should prepare for the school exam in the next two days. Shen Jun said.
Shen Yan'an, who was on the side, was not happy, he said: "Obviously, that Qi Huan deceived people too much, why do you want my sister to apologize? If Qi Huan wins, people won't give us a good look!"
Shen Yan'an felt hateful when he thought of the scene where Qi Huan provoked Shen Yanshu that day.
Hearing Shen Yan'an's words, Shen Jun's face sank, and he said: "How others do is someone else's business, but the people of our Shen family must treat people with courtesy and convince people with reason." ”
Shen Yan'an still wanted to continue to say something, but Shen Yanshu pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to continue arguing with his grandfather.
He said angrily: "My grandson knows, and when the time comes, I will accompany my sister to Taifu Qi's mansion." ”
I won't let others bully my sister.
Shen Jun's face eased a little, looked at Shen Yanshu again, and asked, "Sister Shu, do you feel wronged?"
"The granddaughter didn't dare. Shen Yanshu replied.
She knows Shen Jun, in fact, this is indeed the way for the two families to solve the conflict, although there is already a disagreement, but it will not fall into the hands of others.
Coming out of the main courtyard, Shen Yan'an has always looked bitter and hateful.
"Well, I don't care, and you don't care. Shen Yanshu said.
Shen Yan'an said: "My sister already knew that my grandfather called you over because of this incident, right?"
Shen Yanshu nodded, she didn't hide it: "This is indeed my grandfather's style of doing things, no matter whether I win or lose, I have to come to the door to apologize and talk about peace, this is his gentleman's way, otherwise why do you think that the Shen family has been in Chang'an City for so many years, but they have hardly blushed with others?"
Shen Yan'an pursed his lips, but he was still unconvinced: "But in this way, it will only make others think that our Shen family is easy to bully." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "Among the hundred officials and families, there has never been a real easy bully, no matter how soft and cowardly a person is, he will have a ruthless side, but before he has absolute strength, it is not a bad way to show weakness appropriately." ”
Shen Yan'an looked at her serious appearance and said, "Sister, then you are willing to apologize to Qi Huan like this? Maybe you are kind enough to apologize, people still think about how to embarrass you!"
This is definitely something that Qi Huan can do.
Shen Yanshu was not afraid: "Just apologize, don't think too much." ”
I don't know why, hearing Shen Yanshu say this, Shen Yan'an felt a lot more relieved, obviously it was a dragon and phoenix fetus born on the same day, but he always felt that his sister seemed to be several years older than him recently.
The news of Shen Yanshu's victory in the fourth branch soon swept the entire Chang'an City.
The happiest person is the second fool on East Street, when he was coaxed by others to press almost all his net worth Shen Yanshu Win, after going back, he was chased by his daughter-in-law with a broom and beaten two streets, and he was still clamoring to reconcile, but now his net worth has increased fivefold, and his life is not so tight.
The original ugly monster actually turned into a talented woman, which made many people stunned, and at the same time, they began to speculate whether the Taifu Mansion would let Qi Huan come to the door to ask for guilt.
In this way, I won the exam on the fourth day, the exam of two subjects, etiquette and arithmetic.
Both of these subjects were given questions by the masters in the college, and then the students were asked to write the answers on the papers, which seemed very fair because there were correct answers.
Shen Yanshu lived up to expectations and once again won the two top spots.
"Shen Yanshu! Shen Yanshu! It's Shen Yanshu again! Why doesn't she die!" Qi Huan didn't know how many times he scolded Shen Yanshu.
She can win the championship by anyone, but Shen Yanshu cannot.
Qi Huan locked himself in the room without eating or drinking, except for smashing things, he beat and scolded his subordinates, and in the end he was so tired that he just sat on the edge of the bed, but he was still scolding Shen Yanshu in his mouth.
Even if Mrs. Qi came, she was indifferent.
Since she was a child, it was the first time she was humiliated like this, and now she has become a laughing stock in Chang'an City, how will she go out to meet people in the future!
It's all because of Shen Yanshu's slut!
"Miss, even if you lose, then the Shen family doesn't dare to force you to come to the door to ask for the guilt, why are you bothered?" the maid stepped forward to persuade.
"If you want me to come to the door to apologize, it's impossible!" Qi Huan clenched his hands into fists, and his anger was even worse.
The maid said softly: "Miss, tomorrow is the school exam for the subject of imperial archery, and there are no eyes for arrows and guns on the school field, if Shen Yanshu has any mistakes, he is thrown off the horse or accidentally injured by arrows......"
Qi Huan suddenly calmed down and answered: "If she falls to her death, that's the best." ”
