"Girl, this is the Camellia oleifera that just came in from the kitchen, girl, take a look, do you think it's okay?" Ting Yu came in with a food box.

Xu Nian is sewing gloves and knee pads with thick velvet, the test is coming soon, Shen Yujun and Qi Heng will participate this time.

The style of the gloves is similar to the modern half-finger gloves, with fingers exposed, which are both warm and convenient for writing.

"Put it down, make a bowl with hot water, and I'll taste it." Xu Nian said without raising his head while sewing his gloves, "If you want to eat it, go and try it yourself."

"Thank you Miss for your compassion." All the maids in the room saluted and replied in unison.

Ting Xue approached Xu Nian with a grin and said, "Girl, are you preparing this for the young man?"

"You girl, you're getting more and more talkative." Xu Nian cut the thread, stretched the gloves on his knees, and smoothed them with his hands. The royal blue felt gloves had a circle of swastikas embroidered on their wrists. It is very beautiful and generous.

Put the knee pads and cloak of the same style together, put a piece of warm jade on top, and put them neatly in the box, "Tingxue, send it to the Duke of Qi's mansion to the little prince."

"Yes! The servant girl must tell the young man that this is made by the girl herself." Tingxue picked up the box and left happily.

"It's really just that you are so stupid because you are old and not brainy." Ting Yu looked at her jumping away figure, shook her head and sighed.

Xu Nian smiled and said nothing, she and Qi Heng have already formally engaged, and his family has come to Duan Wang's mansion to give the dowry, this Najib step is over, after that, there are only invitations and weddings, as the name suggests, it is counted Wedding day and meet up.

Xu Nian took a sip of oil tea, "It tastes good. Where's my second brother?"

"Second young master is working on the mock test paper given to him by the girl in the study. He is very serious." Ting Yu was arranging Xu Nian's jewelry box when he suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, "The pair of knee pads that the young lady gave to second young master are There is no need to give it away, the second son received a pair that is more satisfactory."

Xu Nian was having a good time eating oil tea, when he heard Tingyu's words, he suddenly regained his energy, holding a spoon in one hand, looking anxious as if he couldn't wait to eat the melon, his eyes sparkled, "Who is it?"

As expected of a master and servant who have been together for more than ten years, Ting Yu immediately understood what Xu Nian meant, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Six."

"Hahaha..." Xu Nian immediately put down the bowl and spoon in his hand, clapped his hands excitedly, and walked around the room twice, "I can't tell that my second brother is quite discerning! I'll go find him."

When Xu Nian went to the study room, Shen Yujun looked serious, writing like a spirit - brushing the paper.

"Second brother?" Xu Nianxiao shouted slyly.

Seeing Xu Nian's expression, Shen Yujun understood everything, and scolded with hatred: "Listen, have you been listened to, you idiot again? Your master, I will tell you to leave Stay away from Yu, with your IQ, you are still counting the money for others after being sold!"

Standing at the door of the study, Ting Yan said in a low tone: "Young master, when Ting Yu came to deliver the papers yesterday, you took the kneepad that Miss Liu gave you and kept asking her if she looked good? Did she look good? You said yes proudly Miss Liu sewed it herself. The villain gave you a long look, but in the end, you asked me if my eyes were uncomfortable."

Xu Nian was overjoyed, this pair of master and servant, Xu Nian deliberately pulled his face and asked: "Second brother, you and I have a deep love between brother and sister, and you are so happy with Minglan, why do you want to hide it from me deliberately?" ?”

"No, cat, second brother, I don't want to surprise Ming Lan. You know her so well, what if you slip up?" Shen Yujun immediately put down her pen and circled around Xu Nian.

"surprise?"

"I've already made up my mind. After I'm in high school, I'll go to Sheng Mansion to propose marriage and marry Minglan as my wife." When it comes to marrying Minglan as a wife, Shen Yujun is almost so happy, the corners of her brows and eyes are full of joy.

"Hehe, you have to pass the scientific examination!" Xu Nian said coolly.

"In order to marry Minglan, I have to work hard!" As soon as he made his grand wish, Shen Yujun walked up to Xu Nian and said flatteringly: "Mao'er, whether the second brother can go to high school this time depends entirely on you, you But you have to give me a lot of papers. Didn’t you say that the cheat book for the number one scholar is to brush the questions? I will definitely do a lot of questions, not for the top score, but for the list.”

"Mao'er, second brother's lifetime happiness is all in your hands." Shen Yujun pulled Xu Nian's sleeve and said pitifully.

Xu Nian wore a mint green long-sleeved dress today, which was extraordinarily fresh and refined. She looked at the playful second brother, what could she do with him?My second brother, even if he is stupid, he should still be pampered. "Then in the next month, Second Brother will be ready to fight with all his might."

"Don't worry, I will definitely!" Seeing his second brother's determined expression, Xu Nian was sure that he must have loved Minglan terribly.

"Girl, the young master is here and is talking with the old lady." Tingxue seemed to be struggling while carrying a small box.

"What did you bring back?" Xu Nian asked suspiciously.

"It's all brought back by the servants, all kinds of gadgets, pens, inks, papers, toy decorations, books and picture albums, Jingchai rings, everything. Miss, go and have a look." Tingxue replied while drinking water.

"I'll go see him first, and I'll take a closer look when I come back." Xu Nian opened the box and took a look. Everything was neatly placed in the small box, and the packaging was very delicate.

The old lady was getting old and her energy was low, so she quickly sent the two of them out, "Yao'er, take Yuan Ruo to the garden for a stroll, remember to keep him at home for lunch."

"Understood, grandma, please rest." Xu Nian helped her to the inner room, waited for her to lie down, and then came out.

"Brother Yuanruo, all kinds of wintersweet are in full bloom in the garden, I'll take you to have a look." Xu Nian stepped out first, and Qi Heng followed closely beside her.

A light green long-sleeved skirt shirt and a white wide-sleeved Confucian shirt for a month, the two walked one after the other, and the servants followed from a distance.

As he was walking, Xu Nian's hand was suddenly held by a big warm hand. His palm was sweating slightly. He held Xu Nian's hand, loosening it for a while, then tightening it for a while, as if he was very nervous. Xu Nian was an arm away from him. He could also clearly hear his violent heartbeat.

She couldn't help turning her head and smiling at him.

Xu Nian's eyes are big and slender, shaped like peach petals, the inner corners of the eyes are sharp and deep, the ends of the eyes are slightly curved upwards, with a glance, there is a lazy feeling, which is indescribably seductive.

Qi Heng felt his throat was dry, looking at Xu Nian's rosy and full lips, he swallowed unconsciously, "Yao'er, I like you."

Xu Nian walked beside him, lowered his head and smiled, infinitely shy.

The sleeves of the two are relatively wide, and they are close together. Even if they are holding hands, outsiders can't see it.

"Yao'er, my mother is already preparing our wedding room. What kind of decoration do you like? Later, I will arrange it according to your preference." Qi Heng's voice was gentle, like broken jade.

Xu Nian was not polite to him either, "The study room should have a whole wall of bookshelves, which can hold my and your books. If the bookshelves are made of yellow rosewood, I like that color. And put a huge one by the window. The table case allows me to spread out the drawing paper and paint as much as I want, even if you write articles on the opposite side, it will not affect each other; the furniture in the hall is simple and elegant; also, we want to plant two golden osmanthus trees in our yard, I like the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus..."

Listening to Xu Nian chattering about their new home, Qi Heng's heart was filled bit by bit, and it was overflowing. After the two entered the plum garden, he looked around and found no one, Immediately turned around, lowered her head and pressed a kiss on Xu Nian's red lips, short and hasty.

Xu Nian was taken aback by Qi Heng's actions. This is not the modern age. If someone saw it, rumors would spread. She had completely forgotten that she still had divine consciousness, so she immediately turned her head to look around.

"How can you be so cute!" Xu Nian's appearance made Qi Heng laugh, he suddenly took a step forward and pulled Xu Nian into his arms, his voice echoed above her head, "I really want to marry you and go home tomorrow."

Xu Nian released his consciousness and nestled in his arms obediently. His breath was clean and fresh, like the sky after the rain. Because of reading and writing all the year round, there was a faint scent of ink on his body, mixed together, it was his smell, " I like the way you smell."

The two went to see the plum blossoms together, but Qingqing and I confided in each other for half a day. When it was almost lunch time, I hurriedly cut a bunch of plum blossoms and took them to the old lady's room to put in a vase.

When the old lady saw the two of them, she just smiled knowingly. As she got older, her heart became clearer.

"Grandmother, I will put this bottle of cinnabar plum in your bedroom. This kind of plum blossom has a very light fragrance. It will be used as decoration in your room, and it will make you feel happy when you look at it." Xu Nian placed the plum bottle on the dressing table.

A porcelain white vase with a thin neck, inside which were placed two sprigs of crimson plum blossoms in a slanted and patchwork manner, making the whole room brighter.

When Xu Nian came out, her second brother and Qi Heng were chatting passionately. Xu Nian listened to it, as if he was talking about the mock test paper. Qi Heng was not an outsider, so Xu Nian didn't take it seriously. She was hurriedly dragged away by her second brother.

Thinking of the look in his eyes when he was pulled away, it was really three-pointed, three-pointed sad, three-pointed envious, and one-pointed hot.

Sure enough, since that day, Qi Heng and Shen Yujun started the mode of doing crazy questions behind closed doors.

The simulated questions Xu Nian gave to Shen Yujun, in the eyes of other great scholars, would definitely feel insulting to the gentlemen, how can one take shortcuts in learning?They feel that reading is for understanding, not just for scientific examinations. They despise such short-cut imperial examinations. Besides, it is a woman who is asking questions, and they will feel it is even more childish.Therefore, for the sake of her second brother's reputation, Xu Nian only asked him to do these test questions at home, and burned them all when he was done.

"The clothes that enter the examination room must not have interlayers, they must be single; the four treasures of the study can be carefully checked, there must be no bumps or missing corners; anything brought into the examination room must not have words on it; the bedding should be thicker, don't look like it's already spring Oh, it's really cold in the spring, I remember, it was still snowing this month last year." Xu Nian chattered about packing things for Shen Yujun to bring into the examination room.

"I heard from my uncle that it's very cold inside the Gongyuan, so don't freeze you. Once you enter the Gongyuan, the gate is closed, the small door is locked, and it's a small house. According to your height, you have to sleep curled up You have to stay inside for three full days. You are not allowed to enter or exit. Even if it is on fire, you can’t come out. If you leave the dormitory, your grades will be invalid. Second brother, you can try to pass the exam once. , such a crime, one time is enough."

"This cloak is made of thick felt. Although it's a single layer, it's extremely thick. If it's cold at night, you can put it on your body. If it's not cold, you can fold it up and use it as a pillow." Xu Nian said Pack things into a box, "And this camellia, you can drink it with boiling water, the cup is also special, a silver one-handed cup, not afraid of being knocked..."

"Understood. At such a young age, be careful that your elder brother Yuanruo despises you." Shen Yujun walked to Xu Nian, said words of disdain for her, but his eyes were full of doting on his sister. After thinking about it, she raised her hand to rub her hair as she did when she was a child, and it still felt as soft and silky as when she was a child. The hand that was about to leave stretched out again, squinted her eyes and rubbed it twice.

"Brother Yuan Ruo doesn't know that!" The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit touched at first, but before the brother-sister relationship in Xu Nian's heart surfaced, she was wiped out by Shen Yujun, and she was annoyed Patted on the back of his hand, the voice was very crisp, "Second brother, why are you still the same as when you were a child? You messed up the bun I just combed, and you think I am the sky!"

Ever since his father and brother started to take back the Yanyun Sixteen States, Xu Nian let Changkong go back to the border town, where it is needed more and the sky is wider there, Changkong should not be confined by her to the three-acre land in the inner house.

"Speaking of the sky, I miss my father and elder brother even more, and I don't know how they are doing now? Every time my father writes a letter, he only says yes, anywhere is good, and I don't know if it is really good?" Xu Nian sighed softly. Take a breath.

"Father and elder brother have experienced many battles, those Khitan people are definitely not their generals, and they will be fine." Shen Yujun patted Xu Nian's head and comforted him in a warm voice.

"I hope that this battle between father and brother will go smoothly!" Xu Nian said softly. At the same time, a strong idea took root in her heart. It only takes a small opportunity to grow into a towering tree.
