After Shen Qingshu finished washing, he approached the bed and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

No one answered, only the crackling sound of burning candles, and it was unclear whether Lin Weizhi was really asleep or simply ignored her.

With a slight sigh, she also blew out the candle and went to bed, and lay down carefully on the other side of the bed, trying not to disturb Lin Weizhi.

There was no moon tonight, and the light was dim after the candles were extinguished, and she could hardly see her fingers. Shen Qingshu tossed and couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning several times, but she was afraid of disturbing Lin Weizhi, so she just moved slowly like ironing pot stickers.

Lin Weizhi quietly listened to her movement, and there was no rest for a while, and finally couldn't help but turned around and hummed softly.

Shen Qingshu stopped immediately, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I feel uncomfortable."

"Are you unable to sleep either?" She heard Lin Weizhi's breathing rate, and she didn't seem to be asleep.

There was silence all around, and Shen Qingshu didn't hear her answer, turned over to face her, paused, and asked again: "Are you still angry with me?"

"Why are you ignoring me?" She leaned in a little closer, and said softly, "You have to vent your anger. You can accuse me and scold me, but don't have a cold war with me."

Her tone was soft and sincere, with a hint of pity. Lin Wei couldn't see her expression clearly in the dark night, but she could also imagine the gentle expression on that face.

Of course she was angry, and concealed it calmly and calmly, but more, she was still sad, lost and helpless at the teasing of fate.What's more, what can be changed by being angry?

She was lost in her thoughts, and she didn't make a sound for a while, Shen Qingshu couldn't help but panicked, probably she would never talk to her again from now on.

She groped and shook Lin Weizhi's arm, and begged, "Talk to me, okay?"

After confessing her identity, she became more comfortable in front of Lin Weizhi, and her tone was soft without knowing it.

Lin Weizhi was startled when he heard that, is she acting like a baby to her?On the one hand, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and on the other hand, she also felt that Shen Qingshu was like this.Thinking about it, she would occasionally talk like this in the past, but she always didn't notice it because she was blinded by it.

She responded, "Yeah."

Shen Qingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she really just ignored her, but she was finally willing to speak, and she repeated the previous question again, "Are you still angry?"

Why did she persist in asking what kind of answer she wanted? Lin Weizhi avoided answering: "It's late, go to sleep."

Shen Qingshu also knew that this matter would not pass so quickly, but Lin Weizhi was so calm, which made people a little worried.

She moved closer, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, but I should actually be the one to blame. Don't hold it back, you'll burn yourself out of anger."

She didn't estimate the distance properly, and she was too close, with a sense of oppression, and the warm breath rushed towards Lin Weizhi's face, forcing her to back away.

But at this moment, the two retreated as if they were defeated. She thought to herself, they are both women, what are they afraid of?He held back and did not retreat.

"Don't say I'm sorry, you've said it many times," Lin Weizhi was a little annoyed, and said coldly, "Can blaming you solve the problem?"

"What's wrong with you? Before you got married, you wanted to quit the engagement several times. You made it clear to me. After you got married, you avoided me even more and kept your distance."

"It's me, my fault. I seek benevolence and benevolence, so I should bear the result myself. You don't need to feel guilty and take the responsibility on yourself. We will respect each other as we agreed before, and we will treat each other as guests." That's enough!"

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, turned her back again, and said wearily: "I'm tired, turn over and go to sleep in the study next door, by the way, didn't you always want to sleep in the study, just now I got my wish."

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment, wasn't he still communicating well just now?Why did it suddenly happen.

She was silent for a while, got out of bed lightly, and said cautiously: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll go to the study right now."

Seeing that Lin Weizhi had no other indications, she put on her coat and went out in the dark without lighting a candle.

At this moment, Luan Ying is the watchman. Seeing her come out, she held a lantern to greet her, "Master, are you going to wake up at night?"

"Hush," Shen Qingshu gestured and said in a low voice, "My lady is angry, I'll go to the study to sleep."

She was driven out, but there was no anger on her face, and she was full of indulgent smiles. Against the background of the dim light, her eyes were shining brightly, and a few strands of messy hair were scattered on her temples, which was indescribably freehand and romantic.

Luan Ying blushed a little, she didn't dare to look any more, she lowered her head and said, "The servant girl is leading the way for my aunt."

Shen Qingshu took the lantern and waved his hand, "No need, it's just a few steps away, I'll go there by myself, you still stay here."

As she walked to the study, she thought about Lin Weizhi's reaction just now. Really, after being beaten up, she somehow felt more at ease.It doesn't matter if you are scolded, as long as Lin Wei can calm down, it's good.

After listening to Guan Yiming's words today, she felt extremely sympathetic to his wife. As the main wife, not only could she not be jealous, she would also take the initiative to take a concubine for him without any heirs.

May I ask who is willing to share their pillow with others? No wonder women in ancient times became tricky and mean after becoming mothers-in-law. After being in such an environment for a long time, no one would be perverted.

So she thinks that it is better for Lin Weizhi not to marry another person. The people she can choose for her second marriage are already at a lower level. It is not bad to meet someone like Guan Yiming. Get angry in the past.

It's better to stay in the Shen's house. Although she is also a woman, she can guarantee that she will not take concubines for the rest of her life. She is very free in the Shen's house, and the mother-in-law He will never be angry with her.

The more she thought about it in the afternoon, the more she felt that it made sense. When she faced Lin Weizhi just now, she still couldn't open her mouth. Alas, she always felt that it was her who persuaded her. Lin Weizhi stayed behind.

Although there is indeed a little bit, she thought guiltily, just a little bit, definitely not the main factor.

When I went to the study and lay down, it was no different from home, there was only a low bed for reading and resting, it was narrow and hard, Shen Qingshu couldn't sleep even more, she tossed and turned, and suddenly remembered Guan Yiming's nonsense.

Speaking of it, even though it was some dross thinking, it still made sense. Wasn't she really kicked out to sleep now?

Then she shouldn't leave in the morning, but should stay with her.With her expression at that moment, Shen Qingshu thought she really wanted to be quiet.

She was thinking about it, and suddenly her body froze, wait a minute, she drove her out just now, couldn't it be duplicity, right?

Shen Qingshu thought about it carefully, and tapped her forehead in frustration. She actually left just like that, but Lin Weizhi's tone of voice was so harsh, and she really didn't realize it for a while.

It's all out now, it's impossible to go back with a shy face, she sighed, and could only write it down in her heart.

After not sleeping well at night, Shen Qingshu got up late the next day. When he went there, breakfast was already prepared, and Lin Weizhi sat in the second seat and waited for her.

Her red and swollen eyelids disappeared, and she returned to her previous appearance. There seemed to be some sadness in her brows and eyes, and she still didn't wear makeup on her face, but she didn't wear a bun today, and her long hair hung down her head like flowing water. He only casually gathered a few strands from the temples, and tied them behind his head with a red hair tie. The long ribbons hung down between the hair, black and red, very beautiful.

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment, walked around to sit beside her, said good morning, and said softly: "This is not my home, in fact, you don't have to wait for me, if you are hungry, just eat first."

Lin Weizhi curled her lips into a smile, and said, "There are still rules."

Since the two of them started talking, Shen Qingshu finally saw her smiling, but in her heart, she was inexplicably panicked.

She filled a bowl of porridge and drank it silently, thinking about what to say. She originally wanted to apologize for last night, but then remembered that Lin Weizhi told her not to say sorry, but apart from apologizing, she really didn't know what else to say about this matter. How can I make up for her.

She didn't like the feeling, it made her feel powerless.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Lin Weizhi stretching out her chopsticks to pick up a dish of fried mushrooms. Since it was right on the far side of her, it was a bit laborious to pick it up. Shen Qingshu helped pick up a chopstick, eagerly trying to deliver it to her bowl.

But Lin Weizhi blocked her with her chopsticks. She moved the bowl away and said with a slight smile, "I'll do it myself, so I won't bother my husband."

Shen Qingshu raised his hand and refused to take it back, "You don't need to be so polite?"

Lin Weizhi smiled, noncommittal, but did not back down.

Shen Qingshu stared at her intently, the two confronted each other for a moment, her throat rolled, she lowered her eyes, retracted her hand, put it in her own bowl, but moved the whole dish over with the plate.

Lin Weizhi's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Shen Qingshu lowered his head, slowly picked up a slice and ate it by himself, but he couldn't taste it, he couldn't taste any flavor.

"Have you made up your mind?" After a long time, she raised her head and asked in a shy voice, "Stay in Shen's house or..."

"Well, make up your mind and stay at the Shen family." Lin Weizhi answered her directly without hesitation.

She thought just now... Shen Qingshu was a little surprised, "Really?"

"Really," Lin Weizhi raised her eyes, the smile in her eyes was very faint, "Just pretend that these things didn't happen, and we still get along like before."

The way she looked at Shen Qingshu was no longer the same as it used to be, there was always some vague affection, as if she was looking at a stranger.

It was Shen Qingshu's dream to treat each other like a guest, but she was not used to being so indifferent, her chest was congested and she couldn't breathe.

She took a deep breath, suppressed restless thoughts, and asked carefully: "Then, do I still have to go out today?"

Lin Weizhi put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, stood up and said, "This is my husband's own business. I'm a woman, so it's up to my husband how I manage it."

"Your husband is slow to use, the concubine stepped down first." She blessed Shen Qing again, then went out and led Sheng Han away.

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after her, "Then I won't go out."

She watched her walk away without stopping, and disappeared after turning the corner, and then she looked away, looking at the table full of food, but she no longer had any appetite. She felt that there was a fire in her chest, which made her especially want to throw her chopsticks .

But in the end, she just let go of the rules, and at most the voice that fell was a little heavier.

For several days in a row, the relationship between the two of them was neither salty nor dull, as if they had returned to the time when they were just married, polite and alienated.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this situation, but Shen Qingshu just felt aggrieved. She wanted to break the deadlock, but Lin Weizhi didn't cry or make trouble, slipped and didn't stick to her hands, so she didn't know what to do. Do.

Soon, it was the day when the township examination results were released.

A few days before the release of the rankings, the atmosphere in the restaurants where scholars gathered near the Gongyuan was extremely tense, depressing, and restless.Although Shen Qingshu didn't participate in it, he also knew that when they met, they would talk about the provincial examination.

Some plausible gossip spread quickly. Although everyone knew that most of these news were false, discussions were still in full swing, hoping that they could know the inside story in advance.

The rural examination of this dynasty adopts a complete set of procedures such as obfuscating names, sealing, transcribing, reading, judging, dismantling, and rechecking. To a certain extent, fairness and justice are guaranteed.

As soon as it was daylight, the entrance of the Gongyuan was surrounded by people waiting. Shen Qingshu and Guan Yiming waited together in a nearby restaurant. There were many students around, and the atmosphere was tense, talking loudly, whispering, or taciturn.

No matter how confident Guan Yiming was, he couldn't help fidgeting at this moment, shaking his folding fan, opening and closing it again.

The sound of "唰唰唰" continued, and Shen Qingshu felt a little annoyed when he heard it, so he snatched it up and put it on the table, and said in a deep voice, "It's not hot, so stop fanning."

"Why isn't it hot? My heart is hot." Guan Yiming didn't care, and made a fan with his hands, pretending to fan it twice, seeing her expression, he said strangely: "This is about to be released, why are you still unhappy?"

He thought for a while, looked at Shen Qingshu and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are still fighting with your wife, right?"

Shen Qingshu forced a smile, "No, we've reconciled."

Guan Yiming didn't believe it at all, "Qingshu, I'm not talking about you, a man should be more magnanimous, don't stick to small things, and don't take too much attention to some conflicts."

"What's more, what can be more important than the release of the results in the township examination. Don't be limited by your children's private affairs, and miss your studies. If you win the Jinshi and occupy a high position, you will be surrounded by stars. If you fail, you will fall into the mud. Everyone will step on you."

Shen Qingshu was not good at arguing with him, so he smiled helplessly: "I know, it's just that the exams are all over, and the results haven't been released yet, so there's no point in worrying."

Guan Yiming just said a few words casually, and when she said this, she accepted the words, and then said strangely: "Yeah, why haven't the rankings been released yet? What time is it?"

He looked up at the sky, and really wanted to go to the front of the building to have a look or two, but he hesitated for a while because of concerns about his appearance, and he still didn't go to the front of the building to squeeze.

The township examination list is released in September, when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the fragrance is wafting ten miles away, so it is also called "Guibang". At the same time, it is homophonic for "gui", which has a good meaning.

After drinking one cup after another of tea, when we arrived at Desi, the gate finally opened and the sergeant brought out the Guiban, and the crowd rushed forward like crazy.

The surroundings suddenly became restless and noisy, and people shouted from time to time, it was too noisy, and they didn't know what they were shouting.

Although Shen Qingshu's heart beat faster and she felt uneasy, it was still not as good as the last hospital exam. She restrained herself from sitting upright in her seat, waiting for the news of the saddle.

Seeing that she was not moving, Guan Yiming also sat still, but picked up the fan again to fan her.

Suddenly, I heard a series of exclamations from far and near, which spread upstairs.

"Jie Yuan, Jie Yuan is out!"

"Jie Yuan is Guan Yiming!"

"Guan Yiming!"

Guan Yiming was visibly relieved when he heard it, and couldn't help showing joy on his face.

"Congratulations, brother Guan, you won four yuan in a row." Shen Qingshu hurriedly cupped his hands to congratulate him, and was also happy for him. She didn't agree with Guan Yiming's personal virtues and said that his knowledge is absolutely one-on-one, and he won the middle and Jieyuan. Well deserved.

"Little Sanyuan can't be counted, thank you Qingshu," Guan Yiming replied with a smile, "You will definitely win too, and let's wait a little longer, and I will say congratulations again."

Shen Qingshu smiled, but she was not overly modest, if Guan Yiming was able to solve Yuan, then she would not be far behind.

After a while, before the saddle came up, they heard another shout, "Yayuan is Shen Qingshu!"

Shen Qingshu was taken aback, how could it be such a coincidence, the ranking was exactly the same as that in the courtyard test a few years ago, and Guan Yiming was also ranked first.

It's not as good as the last few. She and Guan Yiming looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. Guan Yiming said in embarrassment: "Brother Shen, I..."

"It's okay, I'm not as knowledgeable as Brother Guan, so I'm willing to bow down." Shen Qingshu smiled gently, "It's very good to win, and it's even more fortunate to win Zhongyayuan."

She is not so attached to the ranking this time, and she knows that the choice of words and sentences in her writing is far from clear.

Seeing that she didn't mind, Guan Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "We are happy together."

Some couldn't help laughing, "I will try next year, Brother Shen and I can win at the same time, that's really fate."

Shen Qing was silent for a while, Guan Yiming was the number one scholar, did she win the second place? After that, wouldn't she be the second in the millennium, but if she really won the second place, with her current knowledge, it would be a real honor for her ancestors.

As each name was called out, there were joys and sorrows around, just like the two of them, the young ones who won the prize were naturally happy and full of ambition; the old ones, when they heard it right, immediately passed out with joy; There are also those who have white beard and hair, but still fail to win, grab the ground with their heads, and run down their tears.There are joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys for a while, and life is full of emotions.

After reading the list, there were official messengers beating gongs and drums to announce the good news to various inns. Because Shen Qingshu had previously registered in Jidilou, she asked Uncle Liu to receive the police to distribute happy money.
