Shen Yanshu had her plan to arrange Xiyan to go to Jiangning at this time.

With Xiyan's ability, it would take about ten days to ride a fast horse from the official road to Jiangning, which was four or five days faster than ordinary letters.

After seven days, the school examination of Zhaodetang requires a total of seven subjects: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, arithmetic, etiquette and imperial archery, which takes a total of five days, calligraphy and painting are tested on the same day, and arithmetic and etiquette are tested on the same day, after all, they are all written on paper.

Soon after the school exam, Xiyan should be able to return to Chang'an, although it may not be faster than Shen Kangzhi's return to the dynasty, but at least it will take the lead, if the Shen family does not agree with her to go to Jiangning, she has already thought of countermeasures.

Besides, the school examination of Zhaodetang is a major event in Chang'an City, and the people invited to the assessment and scoring have always had some prestige, and many royal relatives and nobles, dignitaries and nobles will go to the competition venue to watch.

Although she and Xiyan rarely appeared in front of everyone before, there will still be people who have seen Xiyan, if Xiyan is brought out on this occasion, it will be known that Chen Yanxi, the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, is not dead at all, and it will only add to the trouble at that time.

The bet between Shen Yanshu and Qi Huan soon spread all over Chang'an City, and many people only listened to it as a joke, and the Shen family was very shocked when they heard the news, after all, it was too embarrassing for the loser to carry firewood on his back and apologize to someone's house like a guilty person!

The next day, she was called to the study by Shen Jun and reprimanded, telling her to stay honestly in the house for the past few days, and she was not allowed to go anywhere, and even Zhaodetang asked for sick leave.

Yan Qinghan in King Ling's Mansion frowned and thought deeply after hearing the results of Mo Yun's investigation of Xi Yan.

"Chen Yanxi. He silently recited the name, which seemed strange.

However, she looks a little similar to Chen Yi, which is why she looks so familiar.

Mo Yun said: "When the Chen Mansion was raided, it was very chaotic, and Chen Yi's family members were directly executed because of their resistance, and they were all unrecognizable, so no one checked whether the real Miss Chen was killed at that time, and they could only be identified by their clothes." ”

If it weren't for the powerful methods of Ling Wangfu's investigation, she might not have found out her true identity.

Yan Qinghan was a little puzzled, according to what Mo Yun said, Chen Yanxi had only been in the Shen Mansion for a month, and he trusted Shen Yanshu so much, and he didn't hide his martial arts at all, and even was very obedient to Shen Yanshu, why is this?

Mo Yun said again: "Early this morning, Chen Yanxi has already left Chang'an, and I don't know what the specific reason is, but it seems that he went out to do things on Shen Yanshu's order. ”

Shen Yanshu, a young lady from the boudoir who does not leave the second door, estimates that she has never even left Chang'an, so where can Chen Yanxi go to do things?

Yan Qinghan felt that things seemed to be getting complicated.

He had already asked Shen Yanshu to check it thoroughly, but he didn't find anything, she had been unknown all these years, even the people he arranged in the Shen family had not paid attention to this rumored weak and bullying Miss Shen San.

Yan Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly, since he couldn't find out, he went to ask in person.

"Ahh

The green kite said with concern: "Miss is not cold, the slave maid will give you that dress." ”

"No need, I'm afraid it's not a cold, it's someone behind my back who says bad things about me!" Shen Yanshu rubbed his nose and stopped the green kite who was about to walk into the house.

Qing Kite looked at her young lady's leisurely appearance, and asked with some worry: "The school exam is in a few days, isn't the young lady really going to prepare well?"

Shen Yanshu raised his head and said, "I've been prepared." ”

"Huh?" Qing Kite was a little confused, since Miss and Miss Qi came back from a bet, she either raised flowers or read the book, where was a little like preparing for the school exam.

Shen Yanshu looked at her appearance, shook his head and explained: "The preparation is in the heart, the school examination relies on the usual cultivation, and it is useless to rely on temporary cramming." ”

"But Miss, you don't usually have any cultivation! if that's the case, you won't be able to win. The green kite said nervously, "What should I do then?"

Shen Yanshu was speechless, and didn't know how to answer her words for a while.

Can you have some confidence in her?!

"Miss, Miss Ruan said she wanted to come to see you, and now it's almost time to come to Dark Fragrance House. Chao Yan came to report.

Shen Yanshu knew that she would come, but she didn't think that she would come over before she got out of school, she looked down at the appearance of herself rolling up her sleeves and weeding and watering, and she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she let Ruan Leyao in first.

"Wow, I really thought you were sick and came to see you, but you turned out to be a little flower slave at home. When Ruan Leyao came in, she happened to see Shen Yanshu washing her hands with the water in the wooden bucket, and she couldn't help but joke.

Shen Yanshu took the handkerchief handed over by Qing Kite, wiped his hands, and said, "No way, who made me unable to even get out of the gate now." ”

"I only found out last night that you made a bet with Qi Huan, and they are too powerful, they actually bullied you while I was away!" Ruan Leyao said angrily.

Shen Yanshu looked calm: "Do you think I'm so easy to bully?"

Ruan Leyao frowned and thought for a while: "It's the same." ”

Shen Yanshu hooked his lips and smiled, stepped forward and said, "Let's go into the house." ”

The two entered the house one after the other, served tea to Yan, and when Shen Yanshu came out with a change of clothes, he saw Ruan Leyao with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Ruan Leyao said: "Look at your yard, it's too small, and there are few people, even the flowers and plants have to be taken care of by yourself." ”

"It's small, but not everyone can come in, it doesn't matter if there are fewer people, as long as you have the right mind. Shen Yanshu thinks it's good.

Her dark incense dwelling is remote and clean, but it is better than the large courtyard with many people.

Ruan Leyao nodded, looked around, and asked, "Anyway, why didn't I see your Lingyun Sword?"

Shen Yanshu was slightly stunned, his eyes were a little unnatural, and he said: "My younger brother came back from Qingzhou yesterday, and when he saw the Lingyun Sword in my place, he said that he was playing with him for two days. ”

Ruan Leyao didn't doubt it, tilted her head and said, "I heard that your brother and you are a dragon and phoenix fetus, but I haven't seen it." ”

"What's so good to see, he looks the same as me. Shen Yanshu said.

Ruan Leyao was even more curious when she heard this, and she gossiped with a face: "I just happened to see what Shen Yanshu would look like with a man!"

Shen Yanshu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Anyway, there will be a chance to see it." ”

"If you see him, let him put on women's clothes and see if he looks exactly like you. Ruan Leyao's mind suddenly flashed with such a thought.

"Ahem—"

When Shen Yanshu heard her words, she almost didn't squirt out the tea, and let Shen Yan'an wear women's clothes?

Ruan Leyao saw that she was almost choked by the water, and hurriedly eased her back and said, "I'm just kidding, I didn't really let him wear women's clothes." ”

Shen Yanshu: "......"

"By the way, I'm here to get down to business. Ruan Leyao patted her head and said, "It's about you and Qi Huan, I heard that when you went to the court today, a minister participated in your grandfather and Mrs. Qi's book, saying that the discipline was not strict and made you so nonsense." Now even the emperor knows!"

Shen Yanshu was stunned, but he didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly.

But thinking about it, everyone thought that she would inevitably lose this matter, and some people talked about it in the court in order to please Mrs. Qi, just to give the Qi family some face.

And things developed as they expected, and the emperor did not blame, but felt that whether it was the family or the ladies in Kyoto, they should have the heart to strive for gain. It is naturally not a big deal for the two sides to make a bet, and this competitiveness is worthy of praise.

"It's hard for you to ride a tiger now, and the emperor has also appointed the people who are assessed and scored!" Ruan Leyao said.

Shen Yanshu raised his head and asked, "Who?"

"This assessment invites people who are accomplished in all aspects, such as the highest musician in the palace, Mr. Qinglan and Wubo Jushi of Liyin Fang, who are the highest musicians in the piano art assessment, and they attach great importance to this school examination. The chief inspector is even more incredible, it is His Royal Highness King Ning and His Royal Highness King Ling. ”

Shen Yanshu's eyelids jumped when he heard King Ling, and he suddenly became a little worried.

"It does seem to be a big battle. Shen Yanshu said.

A lot of people are going to see it again.

"You don't have too much pressure, Qi Huan's strength is not a strong opponent. Ruan Leyao comforted her.

Shen Yanshu said: "She is naturally not counted. ”

"You can practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or something in the house, this horse and archery are more difficult, why don't you go to the horse training ground with me in the next two days to try?" Ruan Leyao said.

Shen Yanshu: "If you can convince my grandfather to let me go out, I will accompany you wherever I go." ”

Ruan Leyao thought of the serious face of the old lady of the Shen family, and immediately retreated in her heart.

But if she can't make a plan, she has another plan in her heart.

"Why are you staring at my face like this?" Shen Yanshu was a little hairy by her, this little girl must be thinking of some kind of ghost in her heart.

Ruan Leyao smiled: "Didn't you say that you look the same as your brother?

Shen Yanshu looked helpless, if she wanted to go out where she still needed such trouble, she could just climb over the wall, just the low wall in her yard, it was completely effortless to get in and out.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, I went to you to practice imperial archery, and it happened that my grandfather was not in the house that day. Shen Yanshu said.

Ruan Leyao immediately smiled, and even ate more snacks brought by Qinglan.

"I always think your food here is extraordinarily exquisite. Ruan Leyao said.

Shen Yanshu said: "If you like it, I'll let the maid pack two boxes for you to take back." ”

"Then you're welcome!"

Shen Yanshu told Qinglan some of the dim sum making methods in the general's mansion in Zhenbei in the past, and asked her to learn to make them, so this dim sum is comparable to that in the palace.
