Xue Rui left Yu Shu's home and went back to Xue Mansion. Since he didn't return last night, he just sent Qing home with the news. After returning, he heard that his grandfather was going to court, so he went to the main house of the North Courtyard to pay his respects to the old man. Xue Laoshangshu had already heard from his servants that he had stayed away last night to do some business. When he saw him in the study, he did not ask in detail, and Xue Rui did not mention Yu Shu. However, Xue Lingnan told him another important matter: "The day after tomorrow is the seventh prince's crown birthday. You will send gifts on my behalf. Stay at the table for a while and wait for the emperor to grant the title before returning." The princes of Da'an are no better than those of the previous dynasty. Living in the capital, he left the palace at the age of fifteen to build the prince's palace. He was not granted any title until he was crowned twenty years old. He had to wait until the day of crowning to be granted titles by counties and counties, and he still stayed in the capital to receive them. The seventh prince was born to Concubine Yin Shu. When he was still in the palace, he was assigned several tasks by the emperor, and he was quite popular with the Holy Heart. On the day of his crowning, Xue Lingnan was not able to go in person, so he sent his eldest grandson to do it, which was considered a matter of face. However, Xue Rui just heard the advice from Yu Shu, telling him to stay behind closed doors the day after tomorrow. After hearing Xue Lingnan's words, he hesitated and said: "Grandpa, my grandson just met the Seventh Prince at Dingbo Pavilion not long ago. If you have a falling out, is it inappropriate to show up at his crowning ceremony?" Xue Lingnan sat behind the desk, flipping through the official documents on the case, and said without raising his head: "I want you to find an opportunity to break off your previous friendship with him? , but he didn¡¯t say that you can¡¯t interact with him. Now that you are an official in the court, you are no more unrestrained than before. At birthday banquets like this, as long as you have a sharp ear and eyes, you can learn something. You must go. , he let Xue Rui know that he had to go to this banquet, lowered his head, and Xue Rui praised: "I understand, grandson." "Go, you were up all night last night, and today is your day off, so take a good rest." Xue Rui quit. In the study, he did not go back to his own courtyard. Instead, he took a boy to the west wing across the courtyard. There was a courtyard at the back of the small garden, and two maids were whispering at the door. When they saw Xue Ruilai, they hurriedly separated and saluted, and timidly called out: "Young Master." Xue Rui stopped at the door, "What is Mr. Zhao doing?" "In the courtyard. I'm painting here." "Go in and call." A maid hurried in and came out after a while. "Master, please come in." Xue Rui left the servant outside. After entering the courtyard, about a moment later, he came out again. His expression did not change from before, but if you look closely, you can see a trace of confusion between his brows. The Mr. Zhao who was supported in their house was a famous Yi master in the capital at that time. He was proficient in physiognomy and astrology. He used to have a lot of visitors. Later, because he offended the nobles, Xue Lingnan helped him out. , Only then did he stay in Xue Mansion and become the guest of Xue family. Yu Shuyan was sure that he would be in trouble the day after tomorrow, but he had just asked Zhao Yanlin to calculate for him, saying that there was no evil look on his face. Did she make a mistake? Yu Shu's feet were swollen and he couldn't go anywhere. He was at home leisurely, waiting for news from Xue Rui, so he asked Yu Xiaoxiu to write a letter of safety, planning to find a time to go out, find a post house and send it to the hospital as soon as possible. May the sun bring peace. It rained last night and the weather was a bit colder. Yu Shu sneezed three times in a row when she woke up in the morning and found that a quilt was missing. Fortunately, she had prepared it. After breakfast, she asked Yu Xiaoxiu to put it away. He took out the new quilt from the cabinet and sent a bed to Jingchen's room. He also removed the mattress from Xia Mingming's original room and put it on her bed. Winter in the north is cold. If you don¡¯t have two quilts during the winter, you¡¯re just waiting to be frozen. Yu Shu was sitting at the table instructing Yu Xiaoxiu to make the bed. When he heard the knock on the courtyard door, he asked him to go out and see who it was. Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came. "Brother Jing, Brother Yu, I'm here to see you. Come out quickly. I brought tea eggs cooked by my mother for you to try. It's delicious." As soon as he heard this voice, Yu Shu felt a headache and held his hand. The table stood up, and when I looked out the window, I saw Zhou Fangfang standing in the yard with a basket in her arms. Can't she be allowed to live in peace for a day? "Brother Jing, what's wrong with your hand!" Yu Shu limped out of the room and saw Zhou Fangfang standing at the door of Jingchen's house, tangled thickly at Jingchen. Right hand screamed. ".1." Jing Chen didn't know how to explain it. He turned his head and saw Yu Shu coming out, and looked at him questioningly. "I got it yesterday while chopping firewood," Yu Shu said casually, smiling and glaring at Yu Xiaoxiu who was rolling his eyes at the back of Zhou Fangfang's head. Zhou Fangfang also thought carefully about the fact that the firewood Yu Shu bought at home was all ready-made firewood. There was no need for anyone to chop it. She just pouted and scolded Jing Chen: "Why are you so careless?"??, your hands are used for writing, and for chopping firewood. Is the injury serious? Have you seen the doctor? " ".1" Jing Chen didn't know how to lie and didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he just kept silent. However, the little girl talked too much and kept complaining. Finally, she complained about Yu Shu: "Brother Yu, you are too. , Brother Jing is not in good health, why do you ask him to do such rough work? "Yu Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes. The little girl only looked at her brother Jing, why didn't she see that she was still lame. "He didn't want me to do it. "Jing Chen finally said something after a long time. He turned to look at Yu Shu, who was standing on one leg, and said, "Go back to the room and sit down. Don't your feet hurt from standing?" "Yu Shu grinned at him, shook his head, and put his hand on Yu Xiaoxiu's shoulder to support him. Only then did Zhou Fangfang realize that Yu Shu's legs and feet were inconvenient: "What's wrong with you? "Brother Jing, didn't you hurt your hand while chopping firewood? The ax fell and hit my foot." "Yu Shu's two random lies are just the same story. Zhou Fangfang believed it so much that he had no nerve to blame her anymore. Yu Shu asked: "I'm visiting relatives today. Isn't Aunt Xu at home? " Zhou Fangfang raised the basket in her hand, "Here, I'm here to deliver tea eggs to you. My mother came back from grandma's house and asked me to come over to thank you for helping her calculate the calendar last time. " "Don't be so polite, we are all neighbors," Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to collect the eggs in the basket and take them to the kitchen, and asked her, "Is there anything else? " Zhou Fangfang said angrily: "I originally wanted to ask Brother Jing to write a letter for me, but his hand was injured and there was nothing he could do. " "Then I can write it for you? Yu Shu thought about sending it away quickly, so he suggested. Who knows that the little girl is not happy yet, "Goodbye, brother Yu, your handwriting is not as beautiful as mine. I'm afraid people won't recognize it if you send it away." "Pfft," Yu Xiaoxiu snickered. Yu Shu pinched him secretly and said helplessly to Zhou Fangfang: "Then there is nothing we can do." " "Isn't there still Xiaoxiu? Xiaoxiu, please write a letter for me. " Yu Xiaoxiu was worried about how he treated his sister just now, so he deliberately said: "My writing is also ugly. " Zhou Fangfang has indeed never seen Yu Xiaoxiu's handwriting. She can't tell lies and has a sad face. "Then what should I do? I'm still thinking of sending a letter later. " When Yu Shu heard this, he hurriedly patted Yu Xiaoxiu on the shoulder and said to Zhou Fangfang: "Haha, Xiaoxiu is teasing you. His handwriting is good. Go and help him write a letter. His handwriting should be better. " Yu Xiaoxiu was pushed by Yu Shu, and he reluctantly led Zhou Fangfang into the big house to write a letter. "Why didn't I know that I hit your foot while chopping firewood. "Jing Chen asked in a low voice behind Yu Shu. Yu Shu leaned against the door frame and turned his head, blinking, "Aren't you lying to her? " Jing Chen looked down at her, "You like to lie to people. " Hearing this statement, Yu Shu was neither unhappy nor trying to hide anything. Instead, he said to him with sincerity: "No one in this world has ever deceived others. He just deceived more and less, deceived the bad and deceived the good. The difference is that it is not wrong to lie to others, it depends on what is being lied to. " Jing Chen thought for a moment and felt it made sense, so he nodded: "You're right. Seeing that he accepted her theory so easily, Yu Shu had some doubts. He thought that if he stopped listening to her words, it would be bad if he told lies in the future. He coughed lightly, approached him and said: "Jing Chen, ah , that¡¯s what I said, but under normal circumstances, it¡¯s better not to lie to others. If someone as smart as me can tell a lie without being discovered, then it¡¯s fine. For someone like you who doesn¡¯t often lie, if you are discovered by someone lying, Well, that wouldn't be fun. " Jing Chen shook his head: "I won't lie to anyone," he paused and then added, "Especially you. " After Yu Shu heard this, he was very happy. He praised Jing Chen for being on the road, but deliberately made things difficult for him: "Why didn't you lie to me? I don't know who secretly practiced sword practice without telling me. Jing Chen said: "That's not a lie. I told you at the beginning, but you didn't believe me. Then you asked me, did I hide it from you again?" " Yu Shu met his magnanimous gaze, but she felt a little guilty. Thinking that he was also so eloquent, she glanced around, touched her neck, and said: "I'll go see if they have written it. " After saying that, he jumped away on one leg. Jing Chen looked at her back, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out a low laugh. After Zhou Fangfang got the letter, she said goodbye with satisfaction. Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to send her out, but she didn't. He was jumping around again and was sitting in the main room, but he saw the little girl coming to the door, turning back alone, and trotting to the door of Jingchen's room. He took something from the basket he carried and handed it to Jingchen, then turned his head shyly Ran away.He raised his brows and gave a soft "tsk". Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his voice and shouted: "Jingchen, come here." When Jingchen heard the sound, he walked towards the big house, still holding the hand that Zhou Fangfang had given him just now. His things, Yu Shu squinted his eyes and saw that they were a pair of white padded shoe cushions with embroidered patterns on the corners. They looked like they were carefully designed by a girl. The size was just enough for Jing Chen to wear. . When Yu Shu saw the shoe mat, he smiled and said to Jing Chen, "This girl is really biased this week. I'm not bad to her, so why did I just give it to you alone?" Jing Chen sat at the table and held his hand in his hand. Putting the insole on the table, he frowned slightly and said, "Next time she comes back, I'll give it back to her." Hearing this, Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and he held his chin and asked, "Why should you give it back if someone else gave it to you?" Jing Chen turned his head, He looked at her with a confused look on his face: "The book says that men and women cannot be intimate, so why is that wrong? " Yu Shu pursed the smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said seriously: "The book is right, you should remember this sentence carefully. "·Ä
