I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 290
Zhou Shuyao was originally arrogant and arrogant, and it was because of Yang Xu and Qiu Jinyu's presence that she restrained herself a little. She was kind to these daughters of petty officials and merchants.

Seeing at a glance that the girl from the Fu family was three-point testing and seven-point jealousy, Zhou Shuyao's heart was full of contempt. A daughter of a merchant really dared to take Yang Xu's idea.

Although Yang Xu doesn't have much city mansion, there are old General Yang and Uncle Yang behind him, and they dare to show their unspeakable thoughts, which is simply laughable.

Because he didn't like it, his attitude became arrogant, Zhou Shuyao sneered and said: "If you don't walk with us, you naturally disdain to be with us. If you want to humiliate yourself, you can go over and make friends with us."

"I..." The girl from the Fu family blushed in embarrassment, she said she was disdainful to be with her, didn't she mean that she was born in a merchant, and her status was lower than that of these official daughters.

The original harmonious atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay.

But Zhou Shuyao is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family in Linzhou Prefecture, and no one wants to come out to smooth things over. If she is angered, it will not be worth the loss.

The sockets of her eyes turned red immediately, the girl from the Fu family lowered her head humblely, but annoyance flashed quickly in her eyes, when she married Yang Xu in the future, what would the Zhou family be?Back then, the Zhang family was still a concubine, so she married into the General's Mansion, and finally gave birth to Yang Xu.

Zhan Feiyu sat on the ponytail, glanced behind him from the corner of the eye, and blinked at Yang Xu, "Aren't you going to deal with it?"

In the beginning, Yang Xu still had some novelty and fun. After all, he was always alone in Shitou Village, and he couldn't hang out with Daniel and the others. When they met, they would have a fight.

But this trip, the people who received the post were all a few years older than Yang Xu, but they all talked with Yang Xu in their arms, and Yang Xu was also interested in the topics they talked about.

But after more than half an hour of "talking happily", Yang Xu felt that it was not very interesting.

The girls' stories were all short and funny stories from their parents, and it would be boring to listen to too much, and the words revealed a superior posture, which made Yang Xu feel that they were different from each other.

After all, they were only born rich, if they were born in a poor farming family like Xiaoyu, would they still be able to talk so much?Or after he became a guilty minister, the Yang family would not recover, and they would still treat each other with such enthusiasm?
As for the three teenagers in the company, they are all scholars. How old is Yang Xu? They talked more with Qiu Jinyu and Yang Xu, but after getting to know the two little Sanyuan, the more the other scholars talked, the more superficial they seemed. ignorance.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you come with us?" Yang Xu couldn't help asking, his dark face was inexplicably disturbed, Zhan Feiyu's indifference made Yang Xu suddenly realize that he and Xiaoyu seemed to be estranged these days up.

Amused by Yang Xu's restless and aggrieved appearance, Zhan Feiyu raised his finger and pointed to his eyes, "See? There are bloodshot eyes in my eyes. I wasted half a day of leisure. I didn't sleep until three hours last night." an hour."

So it wasn't that Zhan Feiyu didn't stay with Yang Xu and the others, but that he didn't want to spend this rare time on socializing.

Yang Xu froze for a moment, looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was eating cakes and drinking hot water, and then glanced at Zhou Shuyao and others who were not far away in brocade clothes, and suddenly understood that Zhan Feiyu was different from them. He only needs to enjoy the food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by his family, but Xiaoyu has to study for the imperial examination in the future.

The difference between the two is that once something happens, without the protection of the family, they will quickly wither and die like flowers under the ravages of wind and snow.

But Xiaoyu is different. Not only can she protect herself, she can even shelter people around her from wind and rain. Not to mention, Xiaoyu has already provided hundreds of thousands of silver to the military camp. Daoyun came to the border.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains and plum forests not far away, Yang Xu remembered the "Prodigy Poems" he learned from General Yang when he was enlightened.

"Xiaoyu, I understand." Yang Xu grinned, showing his white teeth, making him even more stupid, but the impetuousness and confusion in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

What brother Jinyu said was not entirely correct. My top priority should be to practice martial arts diligently and learn to march and deploy. As for socializing and entertaining, it is not the most important thing. If I don't have the ability to settle down, what's the use of making many friends?
On the other side, Qiu Jinyu, who was talking to three scholars, glanced at Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu calmly, feeling inexplicably out of control.

……

"Young masters and ladies, the hot water is ready." Aunt Huang came over and reported.

After walking all the way, everyone was indeed thirsty. Now they walked to the campfire and sat down in twos and threes. There were also low tables in front of each mattress, with brewed tea and various pastries and fruits on them. The servant girl is waiting on the side.

"If Ms. Zhan is tired, you can go to the hot spring. It's not far away. I sent someone to clean it up yesterday." Zhou Shuyao said eagerly. There was a row of wooden houses built over the hot spring. Although it was very simple, it was just for fun.

Zhan Feiyu, who was eating a slice of pear with a bamboo stick, rubbed his eyes and lit up. After swallowing the pear in his mouth, he asked, "Is there a separate room?"

Soaking in a hot spring in the cold weather is really enjoyable. It would be even better if you have a separate room, so you can stay clean.

As soon as Zhou Shuyao opened his mouth, no one else spoke.

Looking at Zhou Shuyao's attitude now, the group of children in Xiangwu County can see that this girl Zhan must have a background, otherwise the eldest daughter of the Zhou family will not be low-key.

Thinking of Yang Xu's closeness to Zhan Feiyu and the respect Mr. Qiu expressed in his words, many people made up their minds. Compared with Zhou Shuyao, who is domineering and domineering, Miss Zhan looks younger and looks ignorant of the world. It's easier to get close to her appearance.

Miss Feng accepted the words with a smile, "It was repaired the year before last. Sister Fu's family donated 100 taels of silver at first, and each family also took some silver. Then Meigu was renovated and a separate wooden house was built. It's a pity that it will be winter, but if it is spring, the flowers will be in full bloom and it will be so beautiful."

The reason why it took so much trouble is because the girls from various families in Xiangwu County also want to come to the hot springs, and the Fu family is a merchant, so naturally they are not short of money. At the beginning, the Fu family wanted to bear the money for all the construction.

However, these families in Xiangwu County are not stupid. In the future, if the juniors of the family come to Meigu, wouldn't they owe the Fu family a favor?

So each family took the money, and let two servants live in Meigu all the year round, responsible for managing the hot springs, so that if anyone wants to come to play, bring the servants and maids to clean up in advance, and they can move in the next day.

Of course, there are people guarding Meigu, and they also prevent those poor people from coming to the hot springs, otherwise they will soak in the hot springs, and the girls from all families will not be able to soak.

When Zhan Feiyu took He Nuan to soak in the hot springs, Zhou Shuyao and the others were playing Touhu, and before that, they were playing Feihua Ling, but because they were young, they were not punished with alcohol, but with a cup of tea, and a sticker on their face. A blank note.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhan Feiyu, who was soaking comfortably in the hot spring, widened his eyes in astonishment, "Is there something wrong with the fire? Did someone put medicine in it?"

"There should be a piece of wood soaked in the medicinal juice of osmanthus. The osmanthus has a refreshing effect. After a small amount of ingestion, it will make people excited, similar to the five stone powder that was banned by the Holy One in the early years." He Nuan is proficient in medicine, plus Cinnamon osmanthus is not an uncommon herb.

Moreover, the burning wood was moved from the wooden house on the hot spring side. The burning pine wood does not have a strong smell, but the burning osmanthus has a faint fragrance, similar to the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, so He Nuan noticed it from the very beginning.

The whole person was soaked in warm water, and only his little head was exposed on the surface of the water. Zhan Feiyu thought of the group of people who were having fun when they left. Even if they were a little excited, no one would think that he had taken traditional Chinese medicine. It was only because of high emotions .

"Will the combination of osmanthus and other medicines have other effects?" Zhan Feiyu didn't think that the other party was just for fun.

He Nuan at the side of the pool hesitated for a moment, looking at Zhan Feiyu's flushed cheeks smothered by the heat, and her dark round eyes, he couldn't say what he said.

"Could it be Zhou Shuyao's handwriting? Does she want to cook raw rice with Qiu Jinyu?" Zhan Feiyu's voice suddenly became excited, as if he had knocked five stone powder, and his eyes gleamed. They are only 14 years old, so they are a little younger, but they won't have children right away, so it's enough to confirm their status as husband and wife."

He Nuan's expression froze for a moment, the young lady must have been spoiled by the outspoken Chongguang!Otherwise, I just mentioned osmanthus, how could the lady think so much.

Now that he has guessed it, He Nuan didn't hide it anymore, "After inhaling the osmanthus, if you eat the rouge fruit within half an hour, the combination of the medicinal properties of the two will lead to confusion, and there will be..."

Looking at Zhan Feiyu whose eyes were getting bigger and bigger, He Nuan really couldn't say the word "enjoyment".

Thinking about the ages of those present, Miss Feng of the county captain's family is the oldest, but a small county captain in Xiangwu County probably doesn't have the guts to plot against Qiu Jinyu, Qi Dafei!That was Qiu's family in central Guizhou. Thinking about Qiu Zongxi's violent temper, Zhan Feiyu felt that they would not dare.

But Zhou Shuyao was different. After all, she was also the daughter of an official's family, and she and Yang Xu were cousins. If Zhou Shuyao succeeded in her calculation, Qiu Jinyu probably would have to suffer this dull loss.

"Miss, do you need my brother to watch?" He Sheng has already come to Meigu, and he will still follow Yang Xu, acting as his servant for the time being.

If Qiu Jinyu came to Xiangwu County because of Yang Xu, then he was plotted against because he was inferior to others, but if he had no bad intentions towards Yang Xu, he was Mr. Qiu's junior after all. …

Zhan Feiyu soaked in the hot spring and thought, "Ah Nuan, if Qiu Jinyu marries Zhou Shuyao, will he take revenge on me if he finds out the truth in the future?"

Even though Qiu Jinyu may also have the intention of marrying Zhou Shuyao and Yang Xu, it is two different things to take the initiative and be calculated by others. A dead book reader.

Zhan Feiyu guessed that the possibility of Qiu Jinyu's retaliation was as high as [-]%, and he was a scholar, so was Qiu Jinyu, and there was only one Yang Xu. If he defeated him, Qiu Jinyu might become Yang Xu's best friend.

"I've decided, since Qiu Jinyu may retaliate against me in the future, let him resign himself to fate!" Zhan Feiyu smiled murderously.

He Nuan stared dumbfounded at Zhan Feiyu, who was full of fighting spirit. Since she was worried that Qiu Jinyu would retaliate in the future, shouldn't the lady remind her in advance?Why go the other way.

The fruit of rouge fruit is bright red, and the peel is slightly toxic, but the peel can dye the lip color red,
Some peasant girls who can’t afford rouge water powder will soak the dried rouge fruit in water when they dress up during the New Year’s festival, then tear off the peel, and gently smear it on the mouth twice, because the toxicity is very slight, just scrub it afterward It is clean and has no effect on the human body.

After Zhan Feiyu soaked for a quarter of an hour, He Nuan urged him to shout, after all, his skin would wrinkle after soaking.

"Ah Nuan, you said that Meigu is so beautiful, why didn't Mr. Qiu build his house here, so that he could soak in a hot spring every now and then." Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and made her carriage bump for more than an hour to soak in the hot spring Certainly not, but it would be much more convenient to live here.

Wiping Zhan Feiyu's hair with a cloth towel, He Nuan replied, "Old Mister Qiu can't do things like robbery."

Plum Valley has a history of 30 to [-] years in Xiangwu County, and many literati come here every winter. If Mr. Qiu monopolizes Plum Valley, then these people will not be able to find plums in the snow.

"That's why it's said that killing people and setting fire to the golden belt, building bridges and paving roads without bones, but any dude who comes here has already taken Meigu and turned it into his own village." Zhan Feiyu guessed that Xiangwu County is too poor, and those dudes No one is willing to live here for a long time, so this plum valley can be preserved.

Looking up inadvertently, Zhan Feiyu saw the people standing outside through the open window of the wooden house. Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened in shock, a smile bloomed on his face, and he rushed over with a groan, "Brother !"

Fortunately, He Nuan let go of her hand quickly, otherwise Zhan Feiyu would suddenly get up and run away, and He Nuan, who was wiping her hair, would probably have plucked out a handful of hair.

Yin Wuyan dotingly looked at the little girl who rushed over, her hair was still half-wet, and the black hair spread out like thick ink set off a fairer and rounder face, so cute and cute that people couldn't bear to look away.

Throwing on Yin Wuyan, Zhan Feiyu hugged his waist with both hands, and rubbed his face against his abdomen coquettishly a few times, then raised his head, smiling eyes closed, "Big brother, you Why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Enjoying the little girl's closeness, Yin Wuyan touched her head with his big hand, "Go into the room and dry your hair, don't catch a cold."

Seeing his Seventh Master coming, He Nuan saluted and retreated outside the door. With Qiye here, he didn't need to take care of Miss himself.

Sitting on the round stool, he let Yin Wuyan behind him wipe his hair. Zhan Feiyu swayed his legs, and his voice was filled with palpable joy and joy, "Big brother, I was just talking about Qiu Jinyu with Ah Nuan."

Suddenly hearing Zhan Feiyu mentioning Qiu Jinyu, Yin Wuyan's deep phoenix eyes sank, but the cold voice could not hear any emotional fluctuations, "Qilinzi from the third room of the Qiu family?"

With his back to the person behind him, Zhan Feiyu couldn't notice the sarcasm on Yin Wuyan's handsome face, nodded his head, but then sat down obediently, "Well, it's also Little Sanyuan, big brother, Ah Nuan found out Someone put osmanthus on the wood..."

When he heard that Zhan Feiyu didn't intend to intervene and allowed Qiu Jinyu to be tricked, the frost in Yin Wuyan's eyes melted instantly, and he continued to dry Zhan Feiyu's hair slowly.
