Great Xia Dynasty, Imperial College.
The Great Xia Dynasty was prosperous at that time, and the emperor attached great importance to cultivating and recruiting talents. To this end, he vigorously established official schools and promoted the imperial examination system.
The Yingtianfu Academy where Shen Yuyao's fourth brother, Shen Yiyi, studied has now been renamed the Imperial College.
Shen Yiyi passed the imperial examination this spring and is waiting for the palace examination in the Fengtian Hall of the Emperor in April. As a student of the Imperial College, Shen Yiyi will be sent to various departments to learn administrative work.
Tomorrow, everyone in the Duke's Mansion will move south with their families, and the mansion will be sold to others. Only Shen Yiyi will be left in the capital, so he plans to move to the inner room of the Imperial College.
At this moment, he was carrying his things in large and small bags, when suddenly a foreign young man in gorgeous clothes and several followers came to meet Shen Yiyi and all knelt on one knee.
"My benefactor, please accept our greetings!"
Shen Yiyi looked up and saw that the young man's appearance and clothing did not seem to be from the Great Xia Dynasty.
He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was tall and straight. The meridians on his forehead and palms were bulging, which showed that he had some skills.
The followers behind him were also masters of both internal and external cultivation.
But the strange thing is that they called themselves benefactors, but they didn't even know each other.
"You and I are strangers, and I have done you no favor. Perhaps you have mistaken me for someone else."
Shen Yiyi's eyes were full of doubts.
"A few days ago, I was on the verge of death in Jingren Hall. Thanks to the medicine given by you, I was able to save my life. I dare not forget you. After making several inquiries, I learned that you were here."
Although this young man was dressed in foreign clothes, he spoke standard Daxia Mandarin. This alone showed that he was either rich or noble.
The voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, definitely not that of an ordinary person.
"Jingrentang is indeed my mother's family's property, but if I remember correctly, I never rescued you."
Shen Yiyi couldn't help but tap his forehead with the folding fan in his hand.
"Shen Yiren, the owner of Jingren Hall, once told me that the benefactor who saved me was his younger brother, so..."
The boy couldn't help but feel some self-doubt.
After hearing this, Shen Yiyi suddenly realized that his younger sister Shen Yuyao liked men's clothing before she got married and often went to the academy and the clinic.
It must be the younger sister who saved the young man in Jingrentang. The third brother was not in a position to tell the truth, so he could only force it to be his fault.
Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Young Master, please stand up. I am not the one who saved you. The one who saved you should be my youngest...brother."
"And the person who saved you surely didn't do it out of a desire for reward, so you can rest assured."
The young man looked carefully at Shen Yiyi's expression, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately hiding the truth.
"Mm... Sir, I really want to thank you in person, and I also have something to ask of you. If you know my benefactor, could you please introduce me to him?"
The young man still refused to get up, and his followers all knelt on the ground behind him.
This made Shen Yiyi feel very uncomfortable. He had always been a calm and composed person, and he really couldn't stand such a grand scene.
"Well... then, follow me into the academy and see if he's willing to come. She's not someone you can see just because you want to..."
When Shen Yuyao rushed to the wing room of the academy, Shen Yiyi was waiting so long that his eyelids were almost squinting.
The young man and his followers were chattering in an incomprehensible foreign language.
When he saw the real owner arrive, Shen Yiyi hurriedly stood up and said:
"This is the person who saved you..."
The young man and his followers all knelt on one knee again:
"Thank you for saving my life, sir!"
When they looked up and saw this young man, they were all stunned.
This...this...is this a god? How could a young man be so...beautiful? Yes, so delicate and beautiful, with features like a fairy, and a look in his eyes that's even more chilling than a fairy's.
In short, it is both cool and beautiful!
"Sir, please stand up quickly. It's just a small favor, no need to worry about it!" Shen Yuyao also bowed, but glared at Shen Yiyi fiercely. He thought it was something that made him anxious and angry, but the result was this...
Shen Yiyi smiled awkwardly:
"This young man must see my benefactor, and he has something important to ask for. I have no choice but to ask him to come on this journey."
You don't realize how busy Prince Ning's Mansion is right now? You don't realize the Duke's Mansion is also about to become a complete mess, and yet you, a wealthy and idle scholar, still have the mood to leisurely sip tea.
Shen Yuyao recited a few words, glared at Shen Yiyi, then turned to the young man and said:
"Sir, do you have something important to talk to me about?"
Shen Yuyao had no choice but to reach out and help the boy up.
"What's the rush?"
The young man was even more stunned.
The hands were soft and boneless, with slender fingers, as if they were carefully carved.
It is true that the young men of the Central Plains of Great Xia are all as precious as jade.
My clothes were considered luxurious, but compared to his noble demeanor, I was at best a servant or book boy.
The young man stood up completely involuntarily.
Shen Yiyi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and with a light cough, the young man came back to his senses.
"Sir, this is a long story. Could you please move aside and let me explain it in detail?"
Shen Yuyao looked at Shen Yiyi helplessly again, and Shen Yiyi understood.
"Then let's stay in this wing. I'll get someone to serve some tea, and we'll talk later."
"Well... okay." Shen Yuyao could only turn around and sit on the soft chair in the room.
The young man also stood up, and his followers consciously stood in two rows outside the wing door.
"May I know your name, benefactor?" the young man asked as he sat down.
"My name is Shen Yili." Shen Yuyao replied casually, "I wonder what the matter is, sir? I have some important matters to attend to at home, so please keep it short. We can talk again later when we have time!"
The young man said seriously, "My name is Sultantai, and I am a Tatar."
Seeing that Shen Yuyao didn't look surprised, he paused for a moment and continued, "On the way to the capital, I was ambushed by bandits and was fortunately saved by you, young master. I left a wolf fang at the clinic, hoping to meet my benefactor again in the future. I wonder if it's still with you, young master?"
Shen Yuyao nodded.
"It's in my house. If you want to take it back, I can send someone to retrieve it and hand it over to you!"
The Sultan Tai shook his head and said, "No, it's just that this item has some history, and I'm worried that you don't know the secret and will be accused of possessing a treasure."
"Once this item is given away, there's no reason to ask for it back. However, it's a matter of great importance, so I need to specifically instruct you, young master." The Sultan Tai continued, as if he had made a great decision. "If this item were to be found in Tatar territory, anyone who saw it would provide everything the bearer of the wolf fang needed. But if it were to reach the Oirat, it would bring disaster."
Shen Yuyao thought to herself: I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go to these two places in this lifetime. This person is too cautious.
So he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for telling me, sir. I will keep it safe. I have important matters to attend to at home, so I'll take my leave now."
Shen Yuyao bowed and walked out the door.
The Sultan bowed and said, "I hope to see you again someday!"
