He scolded her.

That look seemed to indicate that he was disappointed in someone.

Looking at Shen Qiyin, he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, and finally forgot to take his fan when he left.

Shen Qiyin was unusually silent and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

She was in a bad mood tonight and wanted to curse someone, so she didn't curse him.

She raised her bare hands and took the folding fan to play with it.

This is called the Ivory Cloud Fragrance Fan.

White paper is painted with three alums, and gold is sprinkled on the paint. The whole body is hollowed out and filled with strange fragrance.

Just this handful costs more than twenty taels of silver.

Shen Yaozu said something that Shen Qiyuin felt was very right. She knew the situation in this mansion very well.

Although the family could have enough food and clothing with the salary and benefits that Shen Cang earned from working in the Imperial Hospital, it was impossible for him to act like a rich young man like Shen Yaozu.

If it weren't for the fact that her maternal grandfather's family had become extinct, she probably wouldn't have been able to afford even this house.

He became frugal with her.

Haha, so funny!

Honeysuckle was so angry that she ran over like a pufferfish. She was so angry that she blurted out the harsh words she had heard in the countryside before: "You keep nagging me. It's so annoying!"

"This guy is just spouting shit, miss, don't listen to him."

If she hadn't been worried that rushing forward would disrupt the young lady's plan, she would have rushed over and punched the grandson.

Shen Qiyin poked her angry face and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. This is not worth anything."

"Miss, what on earth is he doing here? He's been barking like a dog for a long time!"

"He came here, probably to ask me for something."

"Treat Aunt Zheng's injuries?"

Shen Qiyin shook his head.

That wasn't his real purpose.

Honeysuckle was puzzled: "What did he ask you to do for him? He didn't even say it and just left."

"No hurry." Shen Qiyin looked far away in the direction where Shen Yaozu left. His eyes were as dark as ink, shining brightly, and carrying the coolness of autumn.

"He will be back soon."

The "soon" that Shen Qiyin mentioned means three days later.

The imperial court announced the results, and Shen Guangzong passed!

Unlike Shen Yaozu who took shortcuts, Shen Guangzong studied based on his own abilities.

Now that he has passed the imperial examination, the bar set for Shen Yaozu has been raised significantly.

So on this day, when everyone was busy congratulating Shen Guangzong, Shen Yaozu came to Haitangyuan with a box of Fendiexuan's newly released Danxin Rouge in his hand.

Shen Qiyin only glanced at him and then looked away, saying in a light tone, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you wanted it?"

"Ah, I wanted it that day, but I don't want it today."

"You..." Shen Yaozu almost overturned the table.

But thinking that he came here today to ask her for something, he could only suppress his anger and patiently said to her, "That day... it was my brother who had a bad attitude and shouldn't have scolded you like that."

Shen Qiyin raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it just your bad attitude?"

"...Of course not. I was drunk and said those nonsense. Don't take it to heart, Yin'er."

"It's good that you know you were wrong, brother." Shen Qiyin said in a tone that said, "Since you already know you were wrong, I will reluctantly forgive you out of compassion."

"I'm not saying this to you, your sister. You're grown up now. You should have a plan in mind for everything. Do you think you can still say whatever you want so recklessly after you get married and start a family?"

Shen Yaozu was so angry that his stomach was cramping.

Also, isn’t this what he said to her that day?

This damn girl still holds a grudge!

"Yin'er is right. Brother will definitely change in the future!" He said, and then pushed the box of rouge forward again: "But look, now that the rouge has been bought for you, you should accept it."

"That's okay."

Seeing how reluctantly she accepted it, Shen Yaozu felt like he was slapped in the face again.

He thought angrily in his heart, wait and see how he will deal with this dead girl when she is no longer useful to him tomorrow!

But he tried his best to hide it on his face, pretending to be casual and said: "Hey, I am happy to see my elder brother pass the high school entrance examination today. I only hope that I can be as successful as him."

Shen Qiyin: "Then brother, you have to work harder. Just wishing is useless."

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Yaozu's mouth twitched slightly.

Shen Qiyin knew that he didn't like to hear this, but so what?

He needs her help right now, so he has to endure it even if he doesn't want to hear it!

He even had to put on a smile and say, "Yin'er is right."

"But there is a saying that goes, 'You get what you sow.' If I want to learn well, I need a good teacher to teach me."

"You don't know that the teachers in our academy are boasting loudly, saying that they taught a third place in the imperial examination, and then they taught a first place in the imperial examination."

"Tsk! Even I can't teach you clearly, yet you dare to open a class? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"And the students in that class come from all kinds of backgrounds. Even the son of a peddler is worthy of sitting next to me!"

……

Honeysuckle gnashed her teeth as she listened.

This person is here to chatter again.

He arranged a lot of things in the academy, from the teachers to the students, anyone who could breathe, even the donkey that the teacher rode on.

Finally, since he had nothing to complain about, he revealed his ultimate goal.

"It would be great if I could study at Qingtong Academy."

"I heard that the teachers there are all famous scholars with many students all over the world!"

Shen Qiyin just wanted to laugh after hearing this.

Qingtong Academy is the best academy in Da Zhou.

He really dares to think!

As Shen Yaozu spoke, he glanced at Shen Qiyin. Seeing that she didn't react, he continued to hint, "If I can study at Qingtong Academy, I think passing the imperial examination won't be a problem."

Shen Qiyin pondered for a moment, and then, under Shen Yaozu's expectant gaze, he responded with his second words: "Qingtong Academy? Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but is that a place where a brain like yours can go?"

"I..." Shen Yaozu almost fainted from anger at her words.

What does "a brain like his" mean? That's too dirty!

Shen Qiyin: "It's not that I look down on my brother, but I heard that to enter Qingtong Academy, you have to take the entrance examination, and they will only accept you if you pass the examination."

"There is such a requirement, but there are also special circumstances."

"It is said that the prince of the Ningguo Mansion did not take the entrance examination that day, and directly became a student there. It is said that he matched the absolute left by the Grand Tutor that year, and it was amazing, so the academy made an exception and accepted him."

Shen Qiyin also knew about this.

The first line of the couplet that the old tutor came up with was: Smoke locks the willows in the pond.

There are only five characters, but each character has five elements as radicals, and the artistic conception is profound and inspiring.

She also once secretly said: Peach blossoms are burning on the bank of Jinjiang River.

She feels good about herself.

It was not until she heard the second line of Xiao Yan's poem that she realized that his fame in the capital was not just for nothing.

Smoke shrouds the willows by the pond.

The lights are off on Jiangba Bridge.

Not only does the artistic conception match, all five elements are included, and even the order of the radicals is exactly the same!

When this couplet came out, it shocked the capital!

It was also after that that Qingtong Academy added an unwritten rule, which was that whoever could match the first couplet left by Xiao Yan that day could be admitted to the academy without taking the exam, just like he did back then.

This is what Shen Yaozu is planning now.

"The first line of the couplet written by Master Xiao is, Wangjiang Tower, looking, looking... I forgot..."

Shen Qiyin: "You said I wronged you by saying you were stupid?"

"I was..."

Without waiting for Shen Yaozu to finish his words, Shen Qiyin continued: "Wangjiang Tower, look at the river flow, look at the river flow from under the Wangjiang Tower, the Jiang Tower is eternal, the river flow is eternal."

"Yes! That's it!" He couldn't hide his excitement. He didn't care about what Shen Qiyin said about his brain being bad. He just looked at her expectantly: "Yin'er, can you come up with the next couplet?"

Shen Qiyin smiled faintly: "Yes, I can."

"Really?!" Shen Yaozu was ecstatic.

"Really." She nodded, but then changed the subject and said, "But why should I tell you?"

Shen Yaozu's joyful expression immediately froze on his face.

But this time he was very understanding and immediately said, "As long as you can give me the second line, no matter what you ask, I will agree to it!"

She suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Brother, are you really willing to agree to any request?"

"Of course."

"Then go to hell, brother."

Shen Qiyin looked at him deeply, with a chill in her clear eyes, but her smile became brighter: "Okay?"
