Xu Nuo turned around and left, but the look in her mind when the maid looked at her just now was still there.
This is the only maid in the eldest brother's courtyard. She is tall and very beautiful. When she looks up at someone, her eyes will reveal a bit of coquettishness.
Xu Nuo had only seen her a few times, but every time he was dazzled by the look in her eyes.
The look in her eyes did not have the youthful vitality of a young girl, nor the humility of an ordinary maid, but was full of calm, like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard you threw the stones, there would be no ripples.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but want to explore the reason why a person of his age could have such a look in his eyes.
Such a beauty is not the maid that Lu left in Xu Pingyi's house. Instead, she tidies the suitcases and beds with her grandma, and is responsible for Xu Pingyi's food and daily life.
Ever since Lu Mengzheng won the first prize in the second year of Taiping Xingguo's reign, the entire Lu family no longer allowed a common room in the husband's house. The Lu family has been accustomed to this rule since childhood.
When Xu Pingyi was fifteen years old, Mrs. Lu asked Xu Gucheng what he wanted, and the two reached an agreement not to leave anyone in his son's house. As for this maid, Xu Gucheng specially arranged it when he came to Bianjing to study a few years ago.
Xu Gucheng knew that his eldest son was never sincere in his dealings with others and could be tricked by others if he was not careful, so he specially selected the smartest maid to follow him and help him secretly.
Although the maidservant is beautiful, she is a rare upright person with a kind heart.
Her father was the housekeeper of the Xu family, and Xu Gucheng had watched her grow up, otherwise he would not have placed her next to Xu Pingyi.
Xu Nuo shook his head, as if to shake away the maid's eyes from his mind.
She walked towards the backyard against the afterglow of the setting sun, and happened to meet Xu Pingqi who had just changed clothes.
"Sixth sister." Xu Pingqi stopped and bowed.
"Erlang is back, let's go together." Knowing that Xu Pingqi was going to the Lu family, Xu Nuo paused for a moment and said, then continued walking forward.
Xu Pingqi walked behind Xu Nuo and said no more.
The orange sunlight in the evening fell on the two of them, dragging two long shadows on the ground.
After entering the inner courtyard, Xu Nuo turned his head, looked at Xu Pingqi, and asked, "Aren't you and Ye Shiwu Lang very good friends? Why did you come back first?"
"The ones left in the evening are all this year's Jinshi."
With Xu Pingqi's words, Xu Nuo understood.
He asked again: "Sixth sister, is there something you need to see your eldest brother?" He saw the direction Xu Nuo was coming from, which was Xu Pingyi's yard.
Xu Nuo scratched his head, kicked away the stones on the ground, and said, "It's true that something happened, but I can't tell you because you're still young."
Xu Pingqi took two steps quickly, walked side by side with Xu Nuo, and said calmly: "If it's troublesome, it might be more appropriate for Sixth Sister to talk to me rather than to Big Brother."
Xu Nuo frowned, thinking that her eldest brother had always been very narrow-minded and might not have paid attention to the young man today. On the contrary, Erlang was the best at observing people's actions and might really know more than his eldest brother.
After thinking about it, Xu Nuo walked a little slower, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Erlang, is there a good-looking tea-making apprentice or servant next to Ye Shififteenth?"
"Sixth sister is not interested in Shishi Lang himself, but she is quite interested in his servant?" Xu Pingqi had already seen that Mrs. Lu was very fond of Ye Qingchen and wanted to betroth her to Ye Qingchen, so she asked.
"Don't ask so many questions, tell me quickly." Xu Nuo didn't think about anything else. She just thought that Xu Pingqi knew the person she met today and urged her hurriedly.
"There are many people around him, and most of them have pretty features. How do I know which one you are talking about?" Xu Pingqi put his hands behind his back, but his head was spinning rapidly.
It seems that Sixth Sister has no thoughts about Shifushiro, otherwise she would have shown some shyness of a daughter.
Ye Shishilang is such a good son, but Sixth Sister doesn't have the slightest idea?
It would be difficult for Bianjing City to choose a better son than Ye Shiwulang!
Xu Pingqi looked anxious at Xu Nuo and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, he very much questioned the way this sixth sister, who prided herself on having good taste, looked at people.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t fall in love with Ye Shiwulang!
"I'll draw it for you!" Xu Nuo wanted to know the identity of that person clearly. He didn't have time to argue with Xu Pingqi, so he secretly kept the look of contempt in his eyes in his heart, and would discuss it with him in a few days.
Xu Pingqi looked at the sun and guessed that it was still early, so he nodded in agreement.
Xu Nuo grabbed his sleeve and rushed to Mingjin Pavilion.
While the two were painting portraits of young people, a group of young Jinshi from the Ye family were having fun.
Although Ye Qingchen rarely orders tea for others, today he held a banquet at Ye's house and specially ordered tea for all the Jinshi.
Every time he orders a cup of tea, the person who takes the tea bowl and drinks the tea must compose a sentence after drinking the tea, and the next person who drinks the tea must continue with the second sentence.
Song Qi was sitting in the corner and was not prepared to join in, but someone forced a cup of tea into his hand.
He looked at everyone, but didn't speak or drink tea.
Song Jiao then said: "Erlang, write a line in your style, and someone else will follow it." After he finished speaking, he laughed, and the others also laughed with him, saying that it was more difficult for the person following him to write lyrics.
Song Qi drank the tea slowly, put the tea bowl on the table aside, looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell back on his hands, and said lightly: "The scenery in the east city is getting better, with wrinkled ripples welcoming guests. Green. The dawn outside the poplar smoke is light and cold, and the red apricot branches are full of spring. The floating growth hates the lack of joy, but is willing to love a daughter and smile lightly? I hold wine for you to persuade the setting sun, and leave the evening light among the flowers."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Such a wonderful sentence!
After a period of silence, Xu Pingyi was the first to clap: "Good words!"
Everyone also started to applaud and praise.
Ye Qingchen hurriedly asked for pen and ink, found a writing desk, and wrote down the words he just heard on the paper in one go.
After he finished writing, he showed it to Xu Pingyi: "Da Lang, help me see if what I wrote is correct?"
Xu Pingyi looked at it quickly and nodded.
There were some new Jinshi, whose elders had held important positions in the court. After listening to Song Qi's poem, his expression changed several times.
They have learned from the elders in the family that this year's No. 1 Scholar was changed at the last minute, and it is the two brothers of the Song family.
Now it seems that it is true!
Song Jiao saw a gloomy look flashing in the eyes of the people vying to grab the poem, but he quickly covered it up. He said to Ye Qingchen: "Dao Qing, your memory is really amazing. You can remember every detail in just one go." Difference."
"Mainly because of the beauty of Zijing's Yu Lou Chun composition, I couldn't help but remember it." Ye Qingchen looked at Song Jiao and pointed at Song Qi who was surrounded by several people.
Song Jiao smiled and nodded, saying that it was indeed the case.
Xu Pingyi, who was not far away, saw Song Jiao's smile and his eyes dimmed. Although he often couldn't understand what others said, he could understand other people's expressions.
Song Jiao is Song Qi's eldest brother. Why is his smile so abnormal and forced when Song Qi creates such a masterpiece?
Update this week. I'm so sleepy. If there are any typos, please help me by shouting in the book review area and I will correct them tomorrow night.
