Chapter 11 What did I hear again?
Suddenly, Shen Su was almost pulled and staggered. He came to his senses and quickly grabbed the person who came.
"What are you doing? What happened?" The person who came to see Shen Su was his classmate and good friend, the youngest son of the Dingxi general's family - Kuang Qianfan, also known by his courtesy name Zhigui.
"Master Siye just came to say that Master Jijiu changed his mind and wanted to give everyone a topic to write an essay on. Everyone has gone there now. I thought someone had come to your house and you must be here, so I hurried to find you. Come with me to Sanseido, everyone is waiting there!"
"Sister-in-law, sister Ayuan." Kuang Qianfan got the news and ran over to find someone. After he finished speaking with a heavy breath, he greeted He Ying and Shen Yuan. Kuang Qianfan and Shen Yuan had known each other for a long time, and He Ying and Shen Yuan were not unfamiliar with him, so there was no need to be fussy about etiquette at this time.
"Husband, then you go quickly. My sister and I will go back first." He Ying was no stranger to this Imperial Academy chief academician. He was her grandfather's most proud student. If her husband could get his guidance on writing, it would definitely be of great benefit.
Shen Yuan also nodded, "Yes, brother, you should go with Brother Kuang. My sister-in-law and I will go home directly."
It was indeed a rare opportunity to be personally instructed by the Lord Chief Academician. His wife and sister were not outsiders either, so Shen Su did not delay any longer. After giving them a few instructions, he went out with Kuang Qianfan.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back too."
Shen Su was no longer here, so there was no point for the two of them to stay here. The people around them had seen it, and the clothes had been given away, so that was enough.
The Imperial College is square in layout, and Sansei-do is located in the center of the Imperial College. It is open only when there are important lectures. Shen Su and Kuang Qianfan just came out of Jinxi Hall and were walking on the main road when they met the Master of Imperial Sacrifices, the Master of the Imperial Academy, and a group of academic officials. To the southwest of the Imperial College is where the academic officials work on a daily basis. Both groups of people would go to the Sansei-do in the middle, so they naturally bumped into each other.
The two of them quickly stopped and saluted.
The secretary asked the two men in a deep voice, "Why are you two still here instead of waiting at Sansei-do?"
"My Lord, my wife and younger sister are here to bring me some clothes. I just came from Jinxi Hall. Zhigui came to look for me, so he delayed me. Please don't blame me, Lord."
"I changed my mind at the last minute. I don't blame you. It's because I disturbed your relationship with your wife." Unlike the stern Si Ye, the Ji Jiu Lord was very tolerant.
"I dare not do that."
Shen Su bowed and saluted, but heard the chief priest say, "Excuse me, these are Miss He and your sister, right?"
Shen looked back and saw his wife and younger sister. They were talking here and delayed for a while, but they happened to run into them. The chief wine master was a student of He Ying's grandfather, so he knew He Ying.
"The one in the middle is Lord Zhao, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College." He Ying whispered to Shen Yuan that Lord Zhao was a student of her grandfather and was also her elder. There was no reason to pretend not to see him, so she took Shen Yuan forward to greet him.
The chief priest cheerfully told the two of them not to be polite, like a kind elder, and said to He Ying: "Don't be polite. Logically, you should call me uncle. Is the teacher still healthy? I haven't visited the teacher for a long time because I have been busy with official duties. It's my fault."
"Grandfather is in good health and just thinks about you all the time. My Lord, you have more important business to attend to. Grandfather doesn't mind these things."
Zhao Jijiu wanted to say something, but Siye reminded him, "Sir, it's getting late. The students are waiting."
He nodded, and before leaving, he smiled at He Ying and said, "It's a pity that I disturbed your relationship today." Then he looked at Shen Yuan and said, "I'll come to see your brother with your sister-in-law next time."
He Ying bowed and said, "Your Excellency is joking." Shen Yuan also lowered his head and said "Yes".
The two stood there and watched the group leave. Shen Xu looked back after walking a distance, and naturally he was teased again.
A student officer said with a smile: "Jinxing, are you reluctant to part with it?"
Shen Xu smiled and cupped his hands, "Excuse me, gentlemen."
Everyone thought he agreed and started laughing.
But Shen Su turned back not because of He Ying, but because of his sister Shen Yuan.
For some reason, he always felt that his sister looked very unhappy. She looked very happy when she came. He didn't know what happened...
On the carriage back home, He Ying also noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yuan.
"Manman, what's wrong? You look so unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Yuan did feel a little uncomfortable, but not physically. She burrowed into her sister-in-law's arms again to hide her expression. "I'm fine. I just got up a little early today and I'm a little sleepy."
He Ying could only comfort him, "We'll be home soon. If you feel tired, just lean on your sister-in-law and take a nap."
Shen Yuan said "hmm" softly, and as soon as he got home, he said something to his sister-in-law and went into his own yard.
He Ying had no choice but to instruct Qingdai, the maid in Shen Yuan's courtyard, to let her have dinner after Shen Yuan woke up.
For the first time, Shen Yuan felt that being able to hear other people's thoughts was not necessarily a good thing. Apart from anything else, she was really upset today.
It was already past noon, and there was still no movement from her daughter. Qingdai was a little worried, so she went to the bed to take a look, but she found that Shen Yuan was awake.
"Miss, are you awake? I'll go and bring the food."
Shen Yuan was also hungry, so he didn't call Qing Dai. As a result -
"Tsk..."
The fish hotpot she loved the most in the past was hard to swallow today. Shen Yuan knew that she was not sick, but just had a bad feeling, but Qing Dai was frightened and hurried out to find a doctor.
"Qingdai, there's no need to call a doctor. Just go find my father when he comes back in the evening. Bring me some preserved sour fruits first."
Qingdai was a maid, and she couldn't persuade her master, so she had to do as she asked and bring some sour fruits, and also called Fuling. Fuling knew some medical skills, and the girl didn't want to call a doctor, so she could only let Fuling take a look.
Shen Yuan ate the sour fruit to suppress his disgust, and stretched out his hand for Fuling to feel his pulse.
"How's the girl?"
"Maybe I'm not good enough in my art, so I can't come up with anything."
Shen Yuan comforted Fuling and said, "I said I'm fine. What does it have to do with your poor skills?"
Qing Dai told Fu Ling to look after Shen Yuan, while she went to the front yard to wait for her master to come back.
The case outside the capital was solved, and the Dali Temple became quiet again. Shen Yun got off work early today, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw his daughter's maid coming to greet him.
"Master, the young lady came back from the Imperial College today in a listless state. She didn't even have lunch, and she vomited today after smelling her favorite fish hotpot."
Shen Yun walked straight to his daughter's yard without stopping. "Are you sick? Have you asked the doctor to see you?"
"No, the girl didn't want to call the doctor, she said she wanted to see you, master."
When Shen Yun entered the yard, Shen Yuan had already gotten up. When she saw her father coming in, she stood up immediately, "Qingdai, Fuling, you two should go out first. I have something to say to my father."
