Chapter 37: The sharp eyes can't be hidden
Shi Jianli was a little surprised. Did they find out something so quickly?
She didn't delay and took Xianyue with her.
Mingzhao still looked at her with his hands behind his back, "I heard from your maid in the courtyard that you went out to play with your aunt."
"Yes, I went to Minister Zheng's residence." The other person was too tall. Shi Jianli took a step back and looked up at him. "Do you have any clues?"
"Xie Xuezhi bribed the family across from the Duke's Mansion to inform them if they saw you leaving. She was also going to the outskirts of the city that day. She must have known you were out, so she created a chance encounter. If that's the case, then her kite attack on you was intentional."
Shi Jianli listened and pondered for a while, "Cousin, can you help me check on Xie Weisong? His relationship with Xie Xuezhi is a bit strange. Xie Xuezhi seems to be afraid of him."
"I'm already investigating, but it might take some time." Mingzhao leaned forward slightly, his hand pressing on the red-lacquered pillar in the corridor. "I've already dealt with the person who leaked the information. Xie Xuezhi won't know your whereabouts from now on."
It's not that easy to reach into someone else's house.
He placed the evidence directly in front of the Left Censor-in-Chief. If the Left Censor-in-Chief did not want to be impeached, he would naturally take action to reprimand Xie Xuezhi.
The first time was a warning, and the second time, no matter what Xie Xuezhi was thinking, Mingzhao could just take action.
Shi Jianli's eyes moved and she lowered her head, "Thank you."
"I heard from my second sister that the Poria cocos cake made by your maid is very good. If you really want to thank her, you can supervise her yourself and ask her to make one for me." Mingzhao smiled as he glanced at the surroundings.
"Okay, let Xianyue send it to Langganyuan tomorrow afternoon." In order to have no worries and to ask for help from others, Shi Jianli agreed.
"Okay." Mingzhao was not greedy. It was good enough that he could coax her into agreeing to send cakes.
She has a delicate heart, and if she didn't ask something of him, it would be difficult to approach her.
"Just in case, bring two more people with you when you go out in the future."
She pursed her lips lightly, a slight smile on her lips, "I understand, goodbye."
Tianfeng came over and asked, "Sir, if you want some cakes, why don't you let us go to the kitchen and get them?"
Mingzhao, who was walking towards the East Palace, turned his head to look at him and chuckled: "What do you know?"
Tian Yu said: "You are a wooden head who doesn't understand romance."
Tianfeng elbowed him.
The next day, Shi Jianli got up a little late and went to the school. He did not meet Ming Zhaohuan, but met An Guogong Ming Weisu, who occasionally went through the west gate.
They met face to face, and Shi Jianli bowed as a junior, "Duke."
Ming Weisu wore a crimson official uniform with a round collar and a five-inch round flower pattern adorned with a kirin patch, a jade belt around his waist, and a seven-beam imperial crown on his head. He was tall and imposing, looking very serious and majestic. Compared to Ming Zhaohuan, he was more robust, and even without the uniform, others could tell at a glance that he was a military officer.
Ming Weisu looked at her with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "I know you."
Shi Jianli was a little confused, "Has the Duke seen me?"
"That day in the garden, you youngsters were playing pitching pots. I happened to see you pitching, and you were deliberately pressing your wrist to hide your skill, right?"
"Yes, the Duke has a sharp eye and nothing can be hidden from you." Shi Jianli retracted her fingers slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
One, two, three, they were all seen.
"I heard from your uncle that you performed very well in the private school, and your riding and archery skills are good."
"I believe I have three points of talent, but seven points come from constant practice, and the teacher's good teaching." Shi Jianli met the other person's gaze and smiled lightly.
Ming Wei laughed out loud, his tone gratified: "You are proud, but also humble. Not bad. Go to the private school."
Shi Jianli breathed a sigh of relief. It was really stressful to talk to this great marshal who had fought on the battlefield for many years.
Yesterday we learned painting and had homework. When Shi Jianli arrived at the private school, he handed in his paintings to the teacher.
In the blink of an eye, I saw Ming Zhoushi again, and the line on her lips was slightly straightened.
Ming Zhouzhi smiled warmly and walked towards her when he saw her, "Good morning, cousin Li."
"Good morning." Don't hit a smiling person, Shi Jianli replied.
"I'm a little slow at drawing, could you give me some help, Cousin Li?"
"I'm also a novice. Sister Lin is talented in painting, and fourth cousin can ask her for guidance." Shi Jianli looked at Mingyue Lin who walked in.
"What do you want me to teach you? Painting? Sure." Ming Yuelin glanced at Ming Zhoushi, "Fourth brother, can you show me your painting?"
Ming Zhoushi's smile froze when Shi Jianli pushed the matter to others again. Seeing Ming Yuelin's enthusiastic face, Ming Zhoushi smiled again, picked up the painting and pointed out his confusion, and he spoke in a coherent manner.
Shi Jianli sat down and glanced in the direction of Mingyuelin, only to see her wink at her quietly.
Shi Jianli had a very faint smile on her lips.
Today's class is mathematics and arts.
There are nine categories of mathematics: square fields, chestnut cloth, difference, small width, commercial work, equal distribution, surplus and loss, equation, and Pythagorean theorem. Today we will talk about Pythagorean theorem.
Shi Jianli was flipping through the "Zhou Bi Suanjing" in her hand while listening to the teacher's explanation. Ming Yuelin, who was sitting next to her, felt his eyes become dazed.
After the math and art class, Shi Jianli heard Ming Yuelin fall directly onto the table with a "bang". When she looked, her face was full of pain.
Shi Jianli couldn't help laughing and pinched her neck, "Are you okay?"
"No, not at all!" Ming Yuelin sat up with a jerk. "Who invented mathematics? It's simply a torture to my strong will!"
I really admire her for being able to pass the mathematics exam.
"Okay, if you only learn the basics and don't go too deep, it won't be too painful." Shi Jianli handed her the math notebook and said, "I'll teach you to complete the math and arts course."
"Wuwuwu... I'm so glad I have you, Sister Li." Mingyuelin hugged her hands.
After a short break, Shi Jianli pulled her up and said, "Let's go to chess class."
After school, Shi Jianli and Mingyuelin separated and Shi Jianli returned to Xifu first.
Ming Zhoushi caught up in a few steps and said, "Cousin Li, I want to go see my aunt too. We're just going the same way. Let's go together."
Shi Jianli gave him a gloomy look and said, "Fourth cousin is a smart man. It's really unlike you to play dumb."
"What do you mean?" The smile on Ming Zhoushi's face froze.
"What do you think, Fourth Cousin? Do you want me to point it out?"
The smile disappeared from Ming Zhoushi's face.
"Sister Li." A voice came from behind.
Shi Jianli turned around, her tone and expression normal, "Want to go together?"
"Fourth Brother." Mingyue Si called out to Cheng Zhushi, then took Shi Jianli's hand. "Okay, I don't understand some of today's math and arts either. Could Sister Li teach me too?"
Ming Zhoushi forced a smile somewhat stiffly.
"Yeah." Shi Jianli nodded, and the two of them moved further and further away from Ming Zhoushi.
"Young Master, are you still going to Aunt Shi's place?" Huang Ze looked at Ming Zhoushi's expression and asked cautiously.
"No." Ming Zhoushi turned around with a sullen face and took another road.
