Then there is no more

Uncle Anping's Mansion is not far from Taixue, and Bian Jingyu gave up her sedan chair and went directly on horseback, so there is no need to rush in time.

At the intersection, Bian Jingyu reined in and waited.

Not long after, his little servant Baolai ran over panting from another street carrying a food box.Of course, the name Baolai is not in Bian Jingyu's taste.Baolai was originally the son of the Lu family, sent by Bian Jingyu's uncle.Baolai also has a brother named Jinlai.The two brothers are cousins ​​in the next room, but they look alike, they look like twin brothers, and now they are serving Bian Jingyu.

Under the orders of his master, Baolai got up early this morning, went to the Ruyi Pavilion and queued up to buy the limited supply of eighteen treasures.

Bian Jingyu took the food box from Baolai, took the eighteen treasures to Taixue, and then handed the food box to her friend Yao Hefeng.Yao Hefeng moved his nose, threw himself on the food box, and said, "Brother Bian is the one who knows me. I stayed up late yesterday to finish the questions assigned by my husband, and now I am hungry."

Bian Jingyu hid a smile in her eyes, but she didn't spare him, and said, "Who told you to delay writing until the last day?"

Bian Jingyu has been in Taixue for two years, and has made friends with three or five, Yao Hefeng is one of them.Bian Jingyu heard about the unspeakable matter between Qian Songlu and Princess Lanmin from Yao Hefeng.It was also Bian Jingyu who was careful. After hearing this kind of gossip, he didn't forget it without hearing it. Instead, he sent someone to keep an eye on the Qian family, and went home to ask his parents for advice.Facts have proved that he is right to be cautious.

Now that the Shen family's affairs are settled, Bian Jingyu wanted to thank Yao Hefeng, so she bought Yao Hefeng's favorite pastry.

The dim sum in Ruyi Pavilion is a bit expensive, and Yao Hefeng himself is reluctant to buy it easily.

In this dynasty, Guozijian and Taixue are two relatively independent institutions, but they are both the highest institutions of learning in the hearts of students.Whether to choose to enter Guozijian or Taixue is related to the status of the student's wealth, that is, his father's grandfather's official title.There are many nobles in the Imperial College, and there are many humble families in the Taixue.

However, this is not absolute.

In addition to recruiting the sons of bureaucrats who entered the prison based on their father's and grandfather's official positions, the Guozijian is usually called a shadow prison, as well as a jujian and a tribute prison.Juren is the supervisor of students, and Gongjian is supervised by scholars. Both of these are particularly outstanding candidates who are selected to enter the Guozijian.For these jujians and tribute supervisors, their backgrounds are not important. They can obtain the qualifications of supervisors, and they only think that they are excellent.

Although there is only one yin supervisor in the Anpingbo Mansion, which was given to the eldest son Bian Jiayu, but when Bian Jingyu was admitted as a scholar, he was actually eligible to enter the Imperial Academy and become a tribute supervisor.However, Bian Jingyu did not choose Guozijian, but instead went to Taixue, where there are more students from poor families.

At that time, Shen Deyuan was still a third-rank servant. After he learned of Bian Jingyu's choice, he understood the reason for his decision almost immediately.

First, if the two brothers are both in the Imperial College, and Bian Jingyu's aptitude is higher than Bian Jiayu's, should Bian Jingyu retain her strength when she waits for the quiz in the prison?If you don't hold back, his grades are often better than Bian Jiayu's. Even if Bian Jiayu doesn't care, what do outsiders think?Do you want to speculate that the two brothers are actually fighting fiercely in private?But if he kept his strength, wouldn't Bian Jingyu himself be wronged? He is a tribute supervisor who got in by virtue of his strength!

When Bian Jingyu entered the Taixue, she no longer had any worries in this regard.

Second, in fact, no matter whether you are entering the Imperial College or the Imperial Academy, on the basis of studying, there is another very important thing for students to do, and that is to accumulate contacts.Considering the different sources of students, those who enter the Imperial Academy are generally the children of bureaucrats, while those who enter the Taixue are generally the sons of low-level officials and ordinary people.The friendship between classmates is very reliable, and the interpersonal relationships accumulated during schooling can often last a lifetime.

Bian Jingyu did not intend to deal with the nobles in the Imperial College, in fact, he once again stated his position, proving that he really had no intention of competing with his brother.

Thirdly, Bian Jingyu's admission to Taixue was not all to avoid suspicion, but it was also related to his personal development.Judging from the development of the next ten years, of course it is more beneficial for him to know more children of bureaucrats, because children of bureaucrats are often more energetic than those from poor families.But if you look at 20 or 30 years from now, the contacts you make in Taixue will actually be more useful.Because most of the energy of bureaucratic children lies in their families, while the energy of poor children lies in themselves.There is a big difference between a friend who is a high-ranking official and a friend whose father is a high-ranking official.

Bian Jingyu wanted to take an official career, so she naturally had to observe the emperor's employment rules.The emperor obviously prefers to use the poor family's children.

Why does Shen Deyuan like Bian Jingyu?Not only because of Bian Jingyu's quick thinking, but also because Bian Jingyu knows what she wants.He has a clear goal in life, and he is on the way to achieve it steadily, without being distracted by trivial matters and free from all kinds of temptations.

This is very rare.

"In a few days, it will be Xiu Mu again. There is an elegant fair in Nanshan Garden, which is hosted by Prince Ning's son. Have you received the invitation?" Yao Hefeng ate four cakes in a row, and waited until the fourth cake was swallowed. ,ask.The current King Ning is the emperor's cousin, and he is quite respectable among the royal clan.

Bian Jingyu nodded and said: "I did receive the invitation, but I have something to do that day, so I can only regretfully decline."

Yao Hefeng gave Bian Jingyu a meaningful look.

Bian Jingyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, coughed twice, and said: "It's really something...Let's do it first, I'm going to study."

Mingming Yao Hefeng didn't say anything, Bian Jingyu ran away in despair.People at this time are so innocent, and they are not shy when mentioning someone who has already been engaged.Yao Hefeng didn't know the inside story, so he just shook his head. He didn't expect that Brother Bian, who was always young and mature, would panic!

Soon the appointed day came, Shen Yi got up early, tidied herself up, and led the servant, Ah Mo, to the gate of Uncle Anping's mansion.All the door-to-door ceremonies prepared by the Su family were carried by Ah Mo, and Shen Yi herself only carried a square woven bamboo cage with a lid.

A tomcat is lying in a cage.This feeling of losing freedom made the tomcat very unhappy, so it kept barking angrily.

Ah Mo looked at the tomcat with some sympathy.

When the cat was hired back, Shen Yifei said that she would give it a good grooming.Just dress up, Shen Yi drew the blueprint, and asked Ah Mo's wife Liu to make a white shirt for the cat according to the blueprint... What did Shen Yi say at the time, oh, a white shirt!I made a white shirt, a small black suit, and a small black bow tie around my neck.Ah Mo has never heard of shirts, suits, and bow ties before, and he doesn't understand this kind of aesthetics. He only knows that this cat is going to be given to Mr. Bian as a gift. What does it mean to dress it in black and white?

This is a gift to please your sweetheart!Why dress it in mourning?Six Niangzi was in a great embarrassment.Fortunately, there was Su's check, she immediately accepted Shen Yi's drawings, gave Shen Yi a meal, and then asked Liu Niangzi to sew a colorful little jacket for the cat and wrap it up.

Shen Yi came to the door from a junior, even if Uncle An Ping wanted to show him face, he couldn't go to the door to meet him in person.Therefore, the task of welcoming guests was given to the two brothers Bian Jiayu and Bian Jingyu.Watching Shen Yi approaching from a distance, Bian Jiayu just frowned and looked at him.Bian Jingyu just took a quick glance, then lowered her head to look at her toes.He regretted it a little now, why did he insist on listening to his father and coming out to meet Shen Er?

If that Shen Er thinks that I value him very much and will be proud of him in the future, what should I do?

Bian Jingyu hurriedly put on a serious expression.

Shen Yi was also a little nervous.Although he thought in his heart that he could meet Bian Jingyu when he came to the door today, he didn't want to meet him at the gate.He also didn't dare to look at Bian Jingyu more, he just stared at Bian Jiayu who was standing in front, he stumbled and said: "Yes, I am Shen Yi, I have met the prince..."

Shen Yi didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

While welcoming the guests in, Bian Jiayu said, "Second Young Master, you don't need to call me Shizi..." My calligraphy is beautiful, you can just call me by it.

But before Bian Jingyu finished the whole sentence, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly answered, "Yes, big brother." This big brother called very sincerely.Shen Yi thought happily in her heart, since Shizi Bian allowed him to be called Big Brother, she thought that Shizi would be very satisfied with him in the future.

Bian Jiayu: "..."

Who are you calling big brother!Who is your big brother!

The tomcat in the cage barked more and more horribly.

Bian Jiayu pointed to the cat and asked, "This is..."

"It's a gift for the Second Young Master..." Shen Yi's ears blushed again as she said this.

Bian Jiayu glanced at Shen Yi, then looked back at her younger brother, finally shook her head, walked two quick steps forward, leaving Shen Yi and Bian Jingyu behind.This is creating an opportunity for the two of them to talk!Shen Yi understood Big Brother Bian's intentions, and the tips of her ears became bloodshot, turning even redder.

Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi finally met their eyes.

Shen Yi's appearance is very different from Bian Jingyu's imagination.Bian Jingyu had met Shen Deyuan and Shen Si before.Shen Deyuan is a beautiful uncle, Shen Si is a handsome young man, both father and brother have such good looks, so Bian Jingyu feels that Shen Yi's looks must not be bad.However, because he knew that Shen Yi was raised in the inner house since childhood, he took it for granted that Shen Yi must be that kind of weak and pale boy.Unexpectedly, Shen Yi is indeed good-looking, but she is definitely not a pale boy!He is even taller than Bian Jingyu!Not to mention how healthy it looks!

At the same time, Bian Jingyu is quite in line with Shen Yi's imagination, she looks like the kind of personable scholar.

Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned away as if nothing had happened.Shen Yi hurriedly opened the bamboo cage, took out the little tomcat, handed it to Bian Jingyu, and said, "It...it keeps barking. Maybe it's because it doesn't like me. If you hug it, it will stop barking. "

Bian Jingyu hummed, took the cat and held it in her arms.The cat was wrapped in small clothes, and its movements were restricted, so it was easy to be hugged by him.

As expected, the little tomcat stopped barking.

Shen Yi guessed that Bian Jiayu might not have understood what she meant, so she tried her best to create a topic and said, "This is a male cat."

"Huh?" Bian Jingyu waited for Shen Yi to continue.

Shen Yi lifted one of the male cat's hind legs, pointed to a pair of cat balls that were not plump enough, and said, "Look, it's a male cat! A male cat!"

Bian Jingyu: "..."

"Do you like it?" Shen Yi asked a little nervously.

The good upbringing made it impossible for Bian Jingyu to say that she didn't like it in front of Shen Yi, not to mention that the cat was really cute.After being hugged by Bian Jingyu, it stopped barking.Bian Jingyu felt in her heart that this thing might be related to her.So Bian Jingyu nodded reservedly.

Shen Yi was completely relieved.Then, they stopped talking.The two of them stared at Bian Jiayu in front of them without squinting, and tried their best to create an appearance of "although we are engaged, but we are very pure, and I never peeked at him from the corner of my eye". go forward.

Bian Jingyu fell into deep thought.

Shen Yi What does this mean?He deliberately emphasized that he gave a male cat instead of a female cat. What is this for?Bian Jingyu carefully considered Shen Yi's intentions.Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across Bian Jingyu's mind!Could this mean... I don't want a woman by your side?

An affectionate Shen Yi appeared in Bian Jingyu's mind.

Shen Yi held up the cat and said, "I... the reason why I only want you to raise my father-in-law even as a pet is because I hope you can understand my intentions. If you have a woman by your side, then I won't give in to you!" Said Then, Shen Yi twisted her body and stomped her feet.Bian Jingyu saw this set of movements done by his second younger sister who was a concubine. The little girl was seven to eight years old this year. She was just in love with acting like a baby, so Bian Jingyu used it on Shen Yi.

Tsk, I feel a little nauseous.

Bian Jingyu quickly shook her head, throwing the pretty Shen Yi out of her mind.

He thought, it turned out that Shen Yi was such a Shen Yi, and his unvirtuous nature was exposed before he got through the door.

--------

Forget it, wait for me to welcome him into the door, and then teach him slowly.

Bian Jingyu said to herself in her heart.

Since she is my future wife...ah no, my husband is one of my own, so I want to pamper him after all.
