The three of them looked in the direction of Yuting at the same time.

*

The next day, Qin Tian still went to Heming Academy, but instead of Uncle Zhou or Chang Zi taking her to and from school in the past, General Wei personally drove her horse this time.

Qin Tian probably couldn't imagine that it was because of the accident this time.

But what she didn't know was that Wei You was laughed at by Fu Wen before he came.

"After all, you are a general who leads troops in battle, but you have fallen so low as to drive a horse for a little girl?"

Wei You didn't have such a sharp tongue as him, but Lian Zhou stood up and spoke for him.

"Servant Fu, please don't laugh at others for being so early. You might do it someday."

Fu Wen said he didn't know how, "I didn't make any mistakes."

Lian Zhou clicked his tongue, "Then you'd better not make a mistake."

Wei You nodded, "That's right, there's nothing wrong with riding the horse for the girl. I know how kind the girl is to speak for me."

Qin Tian didn't say much at this moment, but coincidentally, when he was parking in front of the academy, he happened to meet Wei Miao's carriage.

Qin Tian got out of the car and saw Wei Miao looking at Wei You a few more times.

Both of them were named Wei, and Qin Tian thought they knew each other, but neither of them spoke to each other. They both turned their heads like passers-by.

Wei You arranged for people to stay in the academy to protect Qin Tian, ​​saluted and left.

His posture was respectful, and Wei Miao glanced at him again.

Then he stepped forward to say hello to Qin Tian, ​​becoming more and more intimate with him.

Qin Tian was not as warm to her as he was with Li Chunzhen, and even maintained the slight coldness before. However, this time Wei Miao did not turn away angrily, but instead smiled and asked the maid to take out a flower note and hand it to her.

Qin Tian.

"It's my eldest brother who has returned from the capital. Although my eldest brother did not enter the palace examination to get a rank due to illness, he also came out on top in the spring examination."

The first place in the examination is Huiyuan. If he had participated in the palace examination that year, he would probably have been among the best, and he might even have been selected as the number two scholar.

Qin Tian was very surprised that Wei Miao's eldest brother was so powerful, but he was unable to take the imperial examination due to health problems.

Because she herself was not good at studies, she couldn't help but admire this person who was full of poetry and books.

Huiyuan was already a leader among scholars. She congratulated her sincerely, and Wei Miao and Yourong were all smiles on their faces.

"My eldest brother will go to the palace examination in three years. However, many people came to our home to congratulate us. My grandmother and father felt that they could not refute everyone's kindness, so they held a small flower banquet and invited relatives and friends at home to gather together.

Gather."

Qin Tian accepted the flower note and was among those invited.

But she had never participated in a banquet related to the Qin family in this capacity, so she was a little undecided.

Wei Miao had guessed it a long time ago and said, "My mother also sent a message to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin will definitely come!"

Qin Tian didn't know about the social etiquette between these prominent families, and he bluntly said that it would depend on Mrs. Qin's wishes when the time came.

Wei Miao naturally said hello, "Anyway, I'm looking forward to your coming."

After Wei Miao finished speaking, the two of them also arrived at the school.

The two of them came hand in hand, attracting the attention of many girls. Qin Tian immediately became envious when he saw some girls' eyes falling on the flower note in his hand.

She didn't mean to show off, so she put away the flower paper and took out all the books.

But when her husband was about to give a lecture, she found that Shen Xiao, who was sitting next to her, had not arrived yet.

Qin Tian was thinking about it secretly when he saw Shen Xiao slowly walking to the door.

She usually moves like the wind, but today she was unusually slow for some reason. No one paid attention to her, but Qin Tian took a closer look at her face.

At first glance, Qin Tian was surprised.

Shen Xiao's complexion is not as fair as that of ordinary little girls. She has the feeling of a thin brown color of wheat under the sun, but today it has turned white. It is not the normal white and rosy, but a pale white without blood.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the face of a brother who has just pulled out an arrow.

Qin Tian's eyes kept chasing her, but Shen Xiao had no intention of talking to her at all. He glanced at her and sat back in silence.

Until the afternoon when the teacher dismissed his homework, Qin Tian found several opportunities to ask Shen Xiao what was going on, but she seemed to avoid them intentionally or unintentionally.

But her expression was really bad, and the more she looked, the more she looked like someone who was injured and still holding on.

Qin Tian returned to Liefeng Shanfang worriedly.

She remembered her promise to Qin Shen, and after returning home from school, she made a pot of medicinal tea and sent it to Kuoshan Hall.

Tiandong whispered to Su Ye.

“The girl is really not afraid of the young master anymore.”

However, when Qin Tian arrived at Kuoshan Hall and looked at the face of his injured brother, he couldn't help but think of Shen Xiao.

She seemed to have never seen anyone around Shen Xiao taking care of her. Could it be that she was injured like her brother but had no one to take care of her?

She was distracted for a moment, and Qin Shen saw it.

"What's going on in the academy?"

Upon asking this question, the little girl frowned more and more, her slender brows condensing into a ball, as if she had encountered some serious and complicated problem.

Qin Shen didn't think a little girl of her age could have such a serious and complicated problem, which was secretly funny.

"Tell me about it," he said.

Qin Tian hesitated, "Actually, it's a friend of mine in college." She thought they weren't friends yet, so she could only change her mind, "It's about a female classmate."

She didn't know whether she should ask her brother about this kind of thing, but when she saw her brother's eyes falling over her, there was no hint of impatience at all. At that moment, she was like the eldest brother of the Li family when he faced his younger siblings.

Qin Tian made up his mind and said it directly.

"She is not like this usually. I would nod when I greeted her, but today she didn't want to pay attention to others at all, but her face was really ugly."

After Qin Shen listened, he asked.

"Are you talking about Shen Xiao?"

Qin Tian then remembered that he had forgotten to say Shen Xiao's name, but his brother actually guessed it.

"Brother, do you know her?"

Qin Shen shook his head, "I just heard about it."

Qin Tian was curious that his brother had heard of Shen Xiao's name, but his thoughts were diverted by his brother's next words.

"You want to know what happened to her?" he asked Qin Tian.

"I mainly think that it's wrong for her to be like that. Does she need someone to help her?"

Qin Shen looked at the little girl's clear eyes, nodded, and turned to call Fu Wen over.

"Go and ask about Shen Xiao."

Fu Wen agreed, but still took a quick look at the young master.

At noon, he also laughed at Wei You, a general who led troops in battle, for actually driving a carriage for a little girl.

But now, fortunately, he is not leading a horse, just asking for news.

Fu Wen took the order and went.

Qin Tian muttered a little.

"If you go and inquire like this, will Shen Xiao be unhappy if you find out?"

After saying that, I heard my brother-in-law chuckle.

"Don't let her know."

Qin Tian: "."

She looked at Qin Shen with wide eyes, and suddenly felt that it was not surprising at all that her brother had said something like "burying" that man before.

He cuts through things like a sharp knife cutting through a mess, extremely neat.

But it was precisely because of this that when Mrs. Qin discovered what had happened before, Mrs. Qin was angry with him, and she was really angry.

Qin Tian secretly felt a little funny. It wasn't like he didn't make mistakes sometimes.

While she poured him tea, she secretly looked at her brother from the corner of her eyes.

Qin Shen immediately caught her peeking at him, and with a quick guess, he guessed what she was thinking.

He glanced at her with a smile, and the little girl pursed her lips to hold back a smile, but no one spoke at this moment.

A gust of wind blew from the verandah, spreading into the courtyard with bursts of spring warmth, passing between the two of them as they laughed silently at each other.

Lu Xianzhao stepped into the courtyard and saw this scene——

The young man was wearing a bamboo-green Taoist robe. He looked like he was rarely recuperating from illness, which made some of the harsh energy around him go away. He sat calmly on the bamboo chair and exuded a warm demeanor.

The girl was wearing an apricot-yellow jacket with pipa sleeves and a red pleated skirt embroidered with the Chinese character swastika. She stood gracefully at the table, pouring tea into a white porcelain tea cup. She looked as clear as tea.
