His eyes didn't stop, he just glanced over slowly, looking very absent-minded.
In my ears was the impassioned speech of an old censor, who scolded me particularly fiercely.
No wonder.
Xu Jian can probably understand the reason why these people are so angry.
Like Su Ke from Duke Xu's mansion, if he lived an unruly life and acted like a dandy, the censors would indeed scold him, using different words.
But those who just criticize and discuss things based on their circumstances may not necessarily have much anger in their hearts.
But this time it was different, Liu Xun touched the fundamentals of being a scholar.
Stealing questions and learning to cheat are absolutely unacceptable to scholars who have relied on ten years of hard work and the imperial examination to determine their life and death.
In a small way, it only involves a certain person's moral character; in a big way, the imperial examination is a channel for the imperial court to select talents, and the launch of the poetry society is also paving the way for the enke in the coming year. Where can you do anything wrong?
Fortunately, Liu Xun was exposed. If he was allowed to get through the test in a fool's errand, and rely on his cleverness and his background as a member of an official family to get further, it would be a disaster for other diligent and down-to-earth students.
The old censors were all on fire, quoting the past and discussing the present, making the mistakes bigger and bigger, wearing their hats higher and higher, wishing they could just beat Liu Xun to death with a stick.
Under such circumstances, Liu Jing could not lift his head for a long time.
I finally mustered up the courage to take a peek at the holy face...
The Holy Emperor's face was extremely gloomy, and his hands were holding the armrests of the throne tightly, obviously very angry.
How can Liu Jing still stand?
You must kneel down at this time.
With this in mind, he did just that, kneeling down and listening to the scoldings of the censors.
The censors took turns taking turns, cursing for almost three quarters of an hour before they stopped.
The Holy Master asked coldly: "Liu Qing, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Jing has a lot to say in his heart.
There is no doubt that when Chen Gui stepped forward to do something, there must be the sincerity of Uncle Mansion behind it.
Nine times out of ten, he is sincere.
An uncle who only works casually and has no intention of stirring up trouble in the court is supposed to be a calm and stable person, but to plot against a junior like Xun'er, he is really bullying the small.
Of course, it was impossible for Liu Jing to say this. He trembled and said with sincerity and fear: "I did not teach my son well, which caused that unworthy son to do such a wrong thing. I feel extremely guilty. I will definitely restrain him in the future and never do this again."
Something has happened."
His attitude of admitting his mistake was so good that even though His Majesty was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not hold on to it.
After he retired from the court and the Holy Father walked out of the Jinluan Hall, Liu Jing stood up with his knees in hand and took a breath. He raised his arms and pressed the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs.
He stood there for a while, wanting to wait for the courtiers in the hall to leave one after another before leaving.
Xu Jian would not care about Liu Jing and would go out on his own.
When passing Liu Jing, Xu Jian glanced at Liu Jing.
This glance happened to meet Liu Jing's gaze.
Even though Liu Jing accepted it very quickly, Xu Jian did not miss his annoyance and hatred.
Without stopping, Xu Jian left the Jinluan Palace.
Outside Qianbu Corridor, Shen Chen is waiting.
The sedan arrived at Taohe Zhai, and Xu Jian entered the study.
Near noon, Shen Chen went in to make some tea and saw Xu Jian sitting behind the desk, holding a tool in his hand and polishing a long and slender object.
He took a closer look and saw that it was a thin arrow.
Thinking about it again, Shen Chen remembered that yesterday they were rummaging in the warehouse for a while, and finally found a box containing a pair of sleeve arrows.
This set of sleeve arrows comes with twelve thin arrows. The arrows are sharp and the arrow bodies are made of bamboo. They are probably not smooth enough, so they are polishing them.
I don’t know when the old almanac was left behind. The sleeve arrow is a single barrel with exquisite patterns on the barrel. It can be seen that this thing has not been used much.
This is not surprising.
Hidden weapons like sleeve arrows are not suitable for their old master, and I have never seen him wearing one.
I don’t know what I was looking for...
Xu Jian did not raise his head, but only motioned to Shen Chen to put down the tea, and then said: "Tell Chen Gui that the princess will come over when she is free."
Shen Chen agreed and left to do some work.
Xu Jian was still doing what he was doing carefully, sharpening each thin arrow, readjusting the mechanism and butterfly piece of the quiver, then took out an arrow and put it in it, and pointed it at the hanging on the far wall.
The target was shot out.
After checking each arrow in this way, Xu Jian collected the twelve arrows and put them into the quiver.
In the afternoon, Lin Yunyan arrived at Taohe Zhai.
Shen Chen served tea, and when he left, he glanced at the box on the table, and a thought flashed across his mind.
Could it be that this is what I prepared for the princess?
Speaking of giving a gift, it is indeed a gift. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite and it takes a lot of work.
But no matter how flashy it is, it’s still a weapon!
How can anyone send a hidden weapon to a girl’s house?
Although he has no experience in this area, he has heard from hearsay on the streets that hairpins, rouge, balm, etc. are the preferences of girls, right?
Even if it is not appropriate to send those things right now, you can still send food to the princess.
The princess is very sweet, so asking Aunt He to prepare one or two boxes of exquisite sweet snacks is more appropriate than giving Xiujian a gift, right?
Besides, can the princess use sleeve arrows?
Could it be that I gave it because I wanted to teach the princess?
Shen Chen couldn’t figure it out.
He has been quite frustrated recently in trying to figure out the Duke's wishes.
Let’s ask the Jingdong family for advice next time...
Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan were the only two people left in the study.
Xu Jian opened the box and pushed it in front of Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan glanced at it, then reached out and picked up the thin arrow: "I really miss it."
Because of her good accuracy, Xu Jian taught her to use sleeve arrows to defend herself.
But it’s not like this.
Xu Jian seemed to understand her thoughts and said: "It's ready-made in the warehouse."
Lin Yunyan understood.
The last time I wore Xiujian for the first time, there was no Fuguogongfu anymore, and everything in the warehouse was confiscated.
Xu Jian found another shop that she knew well and borrowed tools, and made a set with her. It was practical and there were no such patterns on the outside of the quiver.
Now, since it is ready-made, it saves the time of re-creating it.
Xu Jian picked up the quiver, adjusted the position of the strap, and said to Lin Yunyan in a calm tone: "Reach out."
Lin Yunyan stretched out her right hand without thinking.
The clothes in winter are thicker and the cuffs are longer. Only half of the palm is exposed. The skin on the back of the hand is very white and the fingers are long. The nails are dyed with cinnamon, which makes the fingers whiter.
Lin Yunyan straightened her cuffs herself, rolled them up a bit, exposing a small part of her arms, and then turned her palms upward toward Xu Jian.
The slender strap falls on the upper edge of the wrist, ranging from loose to tight.
The thin calloused fingertips rubbed against the Yingying skin, which was a little numb. Lin Yunyan subconsciously shrank her hand.
Xu Jian raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his eyes and uttered two words from his lips: "Don't move."
