Chapter 52: The Prince of Wengfu
With what happened during the calligraphy exam, Shen Yanshu paid special attention to it during the painting exam, and Yan Qinghan, the plague god, had been staring at Shen Yanshu tightly, but no one dared to make trouble anymore.
Shen Yanshu's painting only has a galloping wild horse, which is particularly special in many landscape paintings and flowers blooming, the painting is very clean and neat, but it gives people the feeling of being in the middle of the wide world, the wild horse is lifelike, as if it is about to run out of the painting.
Such a painting, as expected, achieved the top result.
The eyes of everyone looking at Shen Yanshu have become different, where does she still have the ugly appearance of the original ugly, it is like two people!
Could it be that her brain became so clever after falling into the water? Of course, few people believe this nonsense, and people prefer to believe that she is hiding her intentions.
After the painting exam was over, Yan Xiao and Yan Qinghan were just about to leave, but a guard stepped forward in a hurry.
"Your Highness, there are many people gathered at the display stand outside the Zhaode Hall, all saying that this school examination is unfair. ”
Yan Xiao frowned: "What's the matter?"
The guard reported truthfully: "We hung the calligraphy and paintings of the ladies just now on the display table according to the ranking, and everyone heard that Miss Shen's words were not the top of the list, and they were all saying that this school examination was unfair, and they also said...... He also said that the examiner of calligraphy this time did not know calligraphy and painting at all. ”
Yan Xiao didn't expect such a thing to happen, but when he thought of Shen Yanshu's wild grass level, it was not too much for someone to question it, so he said: "The results of this time have been decided, and they can't be easily changed, if there are too many people questioning, take back those calligraphy and paintings." ”
It's a high-sounding thing, but it's because this calligraphy exam is a bit boring, and it's not good to make too much trouble.
Yan Qinghan heard Yan Xiao's words on the side, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile, he, the second brother, was conscientious in order to win over Mrs. Qi.
"Your Highness......" The guards who had just gone out quickly rushed back in a hurry.
Yan Xiao said angrily: "What's the matter again!"
"Back to Your Highness, all the calligraphy and paintings we put on the booth have been taken away by King Zhaojun!"
These are not only Yan Xiao, but even the people present are stunned.
Yan Xiao said: "What is the king of Zhaojun doing with those calligraphy and paintings?"
The guard said: "King Zhaojun said that the examiner of the school examination does not know how to appreciate calligraphy and paintings, so he wants to take those calligraphy and paintings to the emperor for evaluation." ”
King Zhaojun is the cousin of the current emperor, has always had a good relationship with the emperor, and rarely cares about political affairs, is very obsessed with calligraphy, although he does not have much attainment, but is a well-known love to collect calligraphy and painting.
Yan Xiao didn't expect that the school examination of Zhaodetang in this area would actually provoke the king of Zhaojun, if his father knew that he intended to favor Taifu Qi......
He didn't have time to think about it, so he shook his sleeves and said, "Go to the palace!"
Shen Yanshu looked at the back of Yan Xiao leaving, turned his head and glanced at Yan Qinghan who was standing beside him, thinking to himself why didn't this guy leave?
Yan Qinghan said: "Don't worry, since even King Zhaojun has come out for you, this time the results will definitely change." ”
When Shen Yanshu heard him say this, he looked at him suspiciously.
"King Zhaojun, you found it, right?"
"Sure enough. Yan Qinghan said in a low voice, "How is it, does what this king has done for you make you feel very moved?"
Shen Yanshu glanced at him: "I didn't let the prince do this for me." ”
Even if there is no King Zhaojun, her calligraphy and painting are seen by so many people and given low scores, which will naturally cause a lot of sensation, everyone knows that Qi Huan won the name is not right, and the reputation of Mrs. Qi will not be much better, and there will naturally be someone in Yushitai to advise him at that time.
Yan Qinghan looked at her unmoved appearance, shook her head, and said with a sad face: "It seems that this king is self-inflicted." ”
Shen Yanshu turned a blind eye.
Yan Qinghan had no choice but to take a step and walked out of the door directly.
The two princes left, and the rest of the people scattered and went back to their respective homes, but everyone looked at Qi Huan's more and more disdain, and actually used this method to win.
originally thought that Qi Huan was just arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was also an abuse of power, after all, Qi Taifu was a first-class official in the dynasty, unless he was a relative of the emperor, otherwise ordinary people really couldn't afford to provoke him.
"What do you see!" Qi Huan said, pointing to one of the young ladies who was staring at her, and was about to step forward to theorize.
Lu Huaimin hurriedly stopped her: "Qi Huan, you calm down, why bother with them!"
Where can Qi Huan listen to Lu Huaimin's words, she is angry now, and she has used so many means to bring Shen Yanshu down, how can she be willing!
"It's all because of you! If it weren't for you asking me to find Shen Yanshu's trouble, how could there be these things!" Qi Huan pointed at Lu Huaimin and scolded angrily.
Grandfather is right, she and Shen Yanshu have no grievances, if it weren't for the instigation of Lu Huaimin and Shen Yuyan, how could she raise the bar with Shen Yanshu!
It's good now, they got into trouble and they just comforted them without any pain.
Lu Huaimin saw that Qi Huan suddenly became angry with her, and was a little aggrieved: "It's me who is not good, but I don't have to ask you to help me teach Shen Yanshu a lesson!"
Qi Huan was even more angry: "You mean I'm nosy myself?!"
"I ...... That's not what I meant!" Lu Huaimin hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
Qi Huan glared at her fiercely, he had long hated Lu Huaimin, and walked away angrily.
Ruan Leyao, who was not far away, almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw the scene of the two of them arguing.
She turned her head to Shen Yanshu and said, "It seems that they are self-defeating this time, and they have bitten each other." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "It's just that they are to blame." ”
The two of them walked out of Zhaode Hall together, and most of the people who came to see the excitement had dispersed at this time, leaving only some families waiting for their children.
"You don't really want to make Qi Huan guilty, right?" Ruan Leyao asked suddenly.
Shen Yanshu asked rhetorically: "Even if I let her do this, do you think she might agree?"
Ruan Leyao shook her head and sighed, "Is this the end of it?"
Shen Yanshu looked firm: "Of course not." ”
If Shen Yanshu lost, Qi Huan would definitely not let her go, so why should she be merciful to Qi Huan?
"Le Yao!"
Not far away, a man in a gray brocade robe waved in their direction, and then pulled another man of his age next to him and walked quickly towards them.
The two men were about eighteen years old, and there was some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.
Ruan Leyao looked at the two people who had approached and said, "Cousin, why are you here?"
"Of course, I was picking you up and going home, I originally wanted to take a look at the calligraphy and painting of this Zhaodetang female student by the way, but I didn't expect to be a step late, and I heard that I was taken away by King Zhaojun. The man in gray brocade said, his face a little disappointed.
Ruan Leyao said: "I don't look like it, the fourth cousin came to see the calligraphy and painting and picked up my cousin by the way, right?"
"How could it be ......," the man couldn't help but want to argue.
"Okay, okay, I know. To meet you a friend, this is the Shen Yanshu I often mention. Ruan Leyao straightened up, turned her head to Shen Yanshu and said, "These are my two cousins, the third cousin Weng Congyuan, and the fourth cousin Weng Congying." ”
"I've seen two Weng Gongzi. Shen Yanshu made a flat salute.
Weng Congyuan and Weng Congying also joined hands and returned the salute.
Weng Congyuan, who had not spoken, opened his mouth: "Le Yao has never had any good friends, if there is anything wrong, please bear with Miss Shen." ”
"The third son's words are out of sight, Le Yao treats me sincerely, it is my honor to have such a friend. Shen Yanshu said.
Ruan Leyao, who was on the side, was not happy: "Third cousin, what you said is as if you have no friends because you were scared away by me." ”
Weng Cong answered: "Oh?
"Of course not!" Ruan Leyao snorted and said, "Although I don't bother to make friends with those people, but in the past, if others did anything bad to me, they were beaten away by you, and I was embarrassed to say that mine was not." ”
Shen Yanshu was happy when he heard it: "You can rest assured, when it comes to fighting, ordinary people really can't beat me." ”
Weng Congying gasped: "Miss Shen, you won't be ruined by our Jia Le Yao, right? This beating people at every turn is not something that a normal woman can do." ”
"Fourth cousin, do you mean that I am not a normal woman?" Ruan Leyao swept with a roll of her eyes.
Weng Congying smiled wryly: "How can it! Cousin Le Yao is probably the most normal woman in Chang'an City, third brother, don't you say?"
Ruan Leyao said: "Weng Congying, don't you want to divert the words, I have to let my aunt train you well when I go back!"
"But don't! Mother nagging endlessly every time!" Weng Congying hurriedly begged for mercy.
Weng Congyuan, who was on the side, said: "Okay, if it goes on like this, I will make Miss Shen laugh, my mother asked someone to prepare your favorite dish today, and I am waiting for you to go back." ”
Weng Congying is only two years older than Ruan Leyao, while Weng Congyuan is four years older than Ruan Leyao and looks more stable.
Ruan Leyao turned her head to Shen Yanshu and said, "Shu'er, otherwise, if you come to our Weng Mansion together, my aunt and mother will be fine." ”
Although Shen Yanshu was very envious of Ruan Leyao having such a good family, it was not her own after all, she smiled and said, "No, my grandfather and they are also waiting for me to go back, and Shen Xi'er is probably also waiting in the carriage." ”
"Then we'll go first, and we'll see you tomorrow when we take exams. Ruan Leyao said, and got into the carriage with a smile with her two cousins.
Shen Yanshu watched their carriage go away, but she felt a little bitter in her heart, once upon a time, she also had such a happy family, she loved her brother, and loved her brother who was messing with her.
She took a deep breath, and her eyes, which were still misty, became clear, and her expression returned to normal.
