Crown Jewels

Chapter 148

Just at this time, Song Yan, who came back from the mountain stream, was carrying five or six fish of just the right size by himself.

The fish had been disembowelled and cleaned up. Seeing Fu Sinian's eyes, Song Yan greeted decisively.

"Still come to help—"

Knowing Song Yan's skill in grilling fish, Fu Sinian didn't want to continue to bring up unpleasant things in front of Shen Lanqing

The turquoise embroidered shoes stepped on the maple leaves on the ground, and the four of them sat around two square stoves.

Seeing Song Yan come to his previous position, Gu Baozhu got up and sat obediently beside Shen Lanqing.

Opposite them were Song Yan and Fu Sinian.

On the grill, Song Yanan picked up his grilled fish.

Seeing this, Fu Sinian simply picked up the pieces of chicken wings and red prawns that were placed on bamboo sticks beside him.

Such a small thing is not worth eating alone, so that Gu Baozhu and Shen Lanqing can also eat the grilled fish that Song Yan had for a while.

Seasonings such as cumin were evenly sprinkled on the fish. Gu Baozhu watched Song Yan's hand flipping the grilled fish familiarly, and was a little stunned when he didn't pay attention.

Just like when Song Yan left, Gu Baozhu was handed the freshly grilled fish.

The scorched aroma of the fish skin accompanied by the fresh and spicy seasoning ate her taste buds all over the place.

Gu Baozhu raised his eyes and subconsciously looked at Song Yan, and the young man also looked at her at this time.

Although Song Yan still didn't say anything to her, the slightly raised jaw and the eyebrows looking at him all hinted that Gu Baozhu would take the grilled fish away.

Coughing and coughing uncomfortably, Gu Baozhu subconsciously took it and thanked her.

The glutton in his stomach was aroused, Gu Baozhu looked at the grilled fish on the bamboo stick, his eyes aimed directly at the place where the seasoning of red chili noodles was the heaviest, and he took a bite with his mouth.

Seeing Gu Baozhu eating so happily, Song Yan's eyes fell on the woman's ruddy lips, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Fortunately, after he just baked it, he deliberately put it aside to dry.

Otherwise, if she eats so recklessly, maybe she will have a blister on her mouth?

Gu Baozhu chewed the fish in his mouth, just wanted to say that it was absolutely amazing!

The skin of the fish is crispy, but the meat is still soft and tender.

The delicious taste is accompanied by natural and chili seasoning, which almost made her bite her tongue off.

After she chewed the fish in her mouth, she suddenly remembered that there was Shen Lanqing beside her.

Subconsciously looking to the side, he saw that Fu Sinian had already handed over the other skewered fish that Song Yan had cooked to Shen Lanqing.

At this moment, Shen Lanqing saw Gu Baozhu turning her head back, and when she looked at Gu Baozhu with dark eyebrows, she was also amazed at the taste of grilled fish.

The heavy schoolwork in the academy seems to be far away from these scholars at this moment, and the sound of laughing, cursing and joking resounds throughout the mountain stream.

Gu Baozhu and Shen Lanqing were infected by the cheerful laughter of the group of teenagers who surrounded Song Fu and Song Fu, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.

The barbecue on the long table had already been eaten up by the group of scholars who had let go of their instincts, and there was not much of the drinks that Fu Sinian had prepared in advance. Except for Song and Fu, the other scholars had completely liberated their instincts at this moment.

Playing around, the sky is approaching the afternoon without knowing it.

Looking at the people lying down in the maple leaf forest, Song Yan's eyes twitched.

He suddenly regretted, what was he thinking at the time, that he dared to serve Fu Sinian drinks for these wolves.

Speechless, he raised his forehead and sighed, remembering this lesson, Song Yan turned his head to look at Fu Sinian who was stupefied, patted him on the back, and motioned towards the mountain stream where he was fishing in the early morning.

Needless to say, the tacit understanding between the two, Fu Sinian concentrated his mind, got up after a while and followed Song Yan through the maple leaf forest.

The mountain spring water sweeps across the stone crevices, revealing a freshness that is not found elsewhere.

Song Yan looked at Fu Sinian who was sitting on the boulder, walked up to him, looked at the flowing spring water, licked his lips before speaking.

"Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Fu Sinian was not surprised when he heard Song Yan's words, and he knew what he meant without Song Yan explaining too much.

His eyes fixed on Shi Shun at his feet, and the next moment he raised his feet and came to Song Yan.

There was no hesitation in Fu Sinian's eyes, and he didn't intend to hide his decision from Song Yan.

"The head of the mountain gave me recommendation letters from other academies, but I! I'm not going to go!"

Hearing this, Song Yan turned around and saw Fu Sinian shortly picking up a stone from under his feet, and throwing it viciously at the mountain spring with his rim arm.

Ding dong water splashed in all directions, drifting through layers of ripples.

Song Yan nodded lightly, as if not surprised, "And then?"

"And then—"

Fu Sinian's lips curled up, his expression swept away before he was heavy.

He turned his head and patted Song Yan on the shoulder, grinning cheerfully, showing eight standard white teeth, and joked meanly.

"In the future, I will look at you, Song Yan, without my company in the academy, and shed tears every day—"

As he said that, Fu Sinian clicked his tongue twice, and looked at Song Yan with an amusing sigh.

Seeing this sudden change of mood, Song Yan was slightly stunned, and after a while, he seemed to understand something and let out a laugh in his throat, which was rare and relaxed.

Lifting his foot and kicking Fu Sinian's leg, Song Yan's tone of voice was usually indifferent.

"Dream you—"

"Be honest!"

The brothers teased each other, Fu Sinian put down the stone in his hands, patted the wet soil in his hands lightly, and his tone finally became serious.

"I don't plan to enter the academy again. Lu Yi thinks I'm pleasing to the eye. I plan to enter Jinyiwei earlier."

"Although I have never done martial arts, I have to start from a low level to enter Jinyiwei, but I want to take this opportunity to practice in advance, and I can learn something from that old fox Lu Yi."

"Whether you enter the academy or not will not affect my future career as a military official!"

"It's the "Policy Theory" and "The Art of War" used in the martial arts. Every month, you can copy my copies in the Cangshu Pavilion."

"You can't watch me go, so you can eat alone."

After Fu Sinian finished talking about the plan in his heart, he felt like he had swept away the haze of yesterday, and he still remembered to joke with Song Yan.

Seeing that Fu Sinian was clear about his future plans, Song Yan's hanging heart was slowly put down, and he let out a muffled laugh in his chest for a while, and when he turned his head to look at Fu Sinian, it was rare that he didn't say the words that usually poke people's hearts, brother Chao would definitely road.

"Fu Sinian, you are doing well!"

Looking at the dense forest with high mountains and long rivers, Song Yan was serious for only two seconds.

"'Art of War' and 'Strategy Theory' are easy to talk about, they're both about brothers."

"I'll copy it every month and send someone to send it to Fu's residence for you. Just remember to pay me 50 taels of copying fee every month..."

"Song Papi, you Papi, as expected, you Papi—"

Fu Sinian's ruthless voice came into the wind, and he gritted his teeth uncontrollably.

As soon as the two returned to Fenglin, Shen Lanqing was about to return to the academy.

Fu Sinian simply greeted Song Yan, and after signaling Gu Baozhu to rest assured, he took the initiative to send Shen Lanqing off.

The two walked for a while, Shen Lanqing looked at the bamboo forest outside Zhuangzi and took a deep breath.

She looked up at the blue sky, and she didn't know if it was Shen Lanqing's illusion. Compared with the Fu Sinian she saw in the morning, the young man standing beside her in front of her seemed to be a little more relaxed.

Fu Sinian deliberately slowed down and walked steadily beside Shen Lanqing.

"Miss Shen, I'm afraid the county examination will be held in a few days, do you feel anxious?"

Thinking of Shen Lanqing's busy days these days, Fu Sinian pursed his lips, and asked the question that he was worried about these days.

Fu Sinian's words made Shen Lan's brows and black eyes widen, which is rare. Such a surprised look made her look a little cute.

Yanguo County Examination, two times in three years.
