Shanhai Academy, the side courtyard on the east side.
The door opened, and a figure slowly walked out.
It's past the spring equinox, the snow has melted, and new buds have grown on the surrounding plants.
Chen Ye took two steps forward and his eyes fell on the buds in front of him.
Two birds chirped from the tree behind me.
Hearing the sound, Chen Ye reached out and pinched off the new buds on the branches, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the entrance of the courtyard, some distracted book boys also noticed that Shen Ye had left the seclusion and quickly bowed and ran towards Shen Ye.
This time of retreat, it was originally expected to be released on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
But this delay has ended with the beginning of spring in February.
"Master Ye"
The book boy walked to Shen Ye's side and bowed in salute.
Shen Ye just nodded, then turned around and sat on the wicker chair in the courtyard.
“This retreat lasted a bit long, but the harvest was good.
This fifth-grade half-step realm was finally passed. "
When the book boy beside him heard this, there was no look of surprise on his face:
"After Mr. Luo came to visit the young master last month, he started showing off and spreading the word that the young master had been promoted again.
Come to think of it, many people in the capital have known about it for a long time."
Hearing this, Chen Ye shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Luo has such a temper that he really can't hide things."
After saying this, Shen Ye looked at the book boy beside him: "Is there anything important these days? Tell me one by one."
Hearing this, the book boy quickly took out a stack of small notes from his waist, with many things densely recorded on them.
Shen Ye went into retreat before the Qianqiu event began.
There was a message exchange with Shen Qingshan, the head of the Shen family, and Mr. Luo visited Shen Ye's retreat results.
But because it was a period of retreat, Shen Ye should not have the intention to know about matters other than practice.
After thinking about it, the book boy started to talk about the Qianqiu Festival.
“At the Qianqiu Festival at the end of last winter, Miss Imayame’s results were very close to your prediction, Master.
Miss Jinyu still lacked some perseverance, and in the end she only reached the seventy-sixth floor of the Qianqiu Stairs."
Chen Ye looked at the new buds in the surrounding flower beds. After hearing this, he just nodded.
"Although the seventy-sixth floor is a good result, this year, Shen Han reached the eightyth floor and won the first place."
"who?"
"Chen Han, Master Ye is your cousin."
Hearing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but frown and looked at the book boy beside him.
"Can he reach the 80th floor of the Qianqiu Stairs?"
The book boy nodded and felt a little nervous when he heard Shen Ye speaking in this tone.
"I have understood with the Shen family that they say Shen Han has been hiding his weakness. He actually has some abilities."
Shen Ye waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more.
He, Chen Ye, didn't care at all whether Shen Han had hidden clumsiness or what strength he had. Anyway, he couldn't be more powerful than him, Chen Ye.
Shen Ye was not interested in knowing how Shen Han was doing.
"Then how did the engagement get canceled in the end? Did Old Linggong personally come to the capital and ask the Holy One to cancel the engagement?"
The book boy shook his head: "It was the old head of the Su family who went to the palace to meet the saint and asked for an annulment of the engagement."
Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded after a while: "When the old prince communicated with me, he didn't mention it at all. The Su family may have some resentment towards our Shen family."
"Old Lord, I think he was afraid of disturbing your study, so he only picked some trivial matters to talk about."
The book boy said and began to look through his little note again.
"There are some rumors circulating about Miss Jinyu.
It is said that Miss Jinyu took action to protect Shen Han during the journey of Qianqiu, and she had some feelings for Shen Han.
The book boy didn't say any more, since the meaning of his words was already clear.
Hearing this, Chen Ye's brows wrinkled again unconsciously.
He certainly didn't believe that Su Jinyu was interested in Shen Han. If he was really interested, why bother to break off the engagement?
It was just these rumors that made him a little uncomfortable.
There is the discomfort of having personal belongings touched by others.
"It goes without saying that there is no reason for such rumors. As long as Jin Yu's eyes are clear, it is impossible for him to fall in love with Shen Han."
The book boy nodded and continued down.
"The final result of the Shen family's performance evaluation was somewhat unexpected.
Mr. Qianmu served as the examiner, but lost to Shen Han in the end.
After the performance appraisal, Shen Han also received an offer from Tianyi Academy and is now studying at Tianyi Academy.
I heard that a few days ago, he fought against Mr. Dugutian, and Dugutian was defeated and suffered some injuries."
After hearing this, Chen Ye's brows that had just relaxed began to wrinkle again.
"Qian Mufan lost to Shen Han? Are you sure it's not Feng Chi?"
The head of the Shen family previously had a message with Shen Ye and learned that Shen Ye was practicing in seclusion, so he only mentioned the matter of the family's performance appraisal.
Chen Ye thought for a while and asked Qian Mufan and Feng Chi to help.
If Feng Chi lost to Shen Han, he would be able to figure it out.
Feng Chi easily falls into madness due to his own cultivation problems.
In that state, whether you win or lose, there is some luck involved.
But when the book boy heard this, he nodded firmly: "The person who lost to Shen Han was indeed Young Master Qianmu.
I heard that his chess strategy was revealed and he was defeated in just a few moves. "
Seeing that Shen Ye did not continue to ask, the book boy continued to talk about other things.
“The news came from the Shen family, the Yun family in Anyang City, which is the family of the first three wives.
It is said that his medicine refining skills have been improved by leaps and bounds, and the middle-grade elixirs he refines are of excellent quality and the elixir yield rate is extremely high.
But now the Yun family is at odds with the Shen family, and the Yun family is unwilling to sell elixirs to our Shen family."
"Why the first three ladies? Has the relationship between the third uncle and Mrs. Yun been reconciled?"
The book boy nodded: "Mrs. Yun has been protecting Shen Han, which has delayed the wedding for a long time. The Yun family did not care about the Shen family's face and insisted on protecting Shen Han.
General Ling Sheng was so angry that he reconciled with Mrs. Yun.
Moreover, the Yun family seems to be possessed by a demon, and they are still protecting Shen Han until now."
Shen Ye frowned. The book boy beside him said so much, but every sentence seemed to be related to Shen Han.
It made him a little bored to hear it.
"Is Jinyu still in the capital?"
"Not long after the engagement was canceled, Miss Jinyu went to Xiaoyao Peak, saying that she would practice there for half a year before coming back."
Chen Ye nodded, but he didn't really want to see Su Jinyu.
It's just that the Su family ultimately borne the price of breaking off the engagement.
As far as Li is concerned, he has to have something to say when he is with Su Jinyu.
"The news of my promotion has probably not been spread to the family yet, right?
Let's go and send the news. I think there has been some trouble at home recently, and this news will help my mother and the others feel better. "
Hearing this, the book boy had a smile on his face and immediately ran to get the sound transmitting instrument to convey the news.
Shutong has been with Shen Ye for several years, and he knows it very well.
Since arriving in the capital, every time Shen Ye was promoted to general, Mrs. He of the Shen family would give him a large reward.
Gold and silver were delivered directly to his home.
With so many bookboys in the capital, he should probably earn the most gold and silver.
There is no way, the Shen family is really generous and willing to invest in people and things related to Shen Ye.
