Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

A cool breeze blows in from the south window, but the dozens of painters in the painting hall are sweating profusely, looking terrified and fearful.

They had been standing on one foot, with the inkstone on their heads, holding the painting tube for more than an hour, but no one dared to put it down, because if they put it down, they would be punished by the thorn in Shao Erxue's hand.

Not a ruler, but a wattle!

Even the injured Wu Jun and the others were called to watch them being punished together.

This is a long torture. For all the painters, Shao Erxue is like a nightmare.

On the other side, in the courtyard of the Academy of Painting.

The light yellow sun shines lightly on the body, making it a bit warm, and the burly sycamore has drawn out countless green leaves in the sleeves of spring.

Su Shiqing squatted in the grass, using her fingertips as a paintbrush, carefully sketching the outline of the sycamore tree, her heart full of melancholy of "the lonely sycamore tree is locked in the deep courtyard and the autumn is locked".

Jie Ao was pawing and pulling the grass with a hoe indiscriminately, and it didn't take long for the whole yard to become unrecognizable under his venting.

After being bitten by the ant for the fifth time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the hoe in his hand and roared.

"I don't do it anymore!"

Su Shiqing sighed silently: "What do you do... If you don't know, you think you want to farm."

It seems that they have to be punished again.

Jie Ao picked up a piece of grass, walked towards Su Shiqing, and kicked his ass with his toe.

"Hey, you don't really want to pull out all the grass here, do you? I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights."

Su Shiqing sighed again: "Otherwise."

Jie Ao leaned down and said, "Let's sneak out to drink."

"You're crazy! These jobs have to be done within the day, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

Su Shiqing firmly rejected him.

Jie Ao raised his eyebrows: "Drink flower wine?"

"Don't go."

"..."

At this moment, a courtyard guard came over quietly, looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jie Ao.

Jie Ao put a piece of silver in the guard's hand as if he was used to it, opened the letter and looked at it, then quickly refolded it and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Su Shiqing asked doubtfully, "What letter?"

Jie Ao didn't answer: "I have to go first."

Su Shiqing tilted her head and asked, "Go? Where are you going?"

"You ask so many questions..." Jie Ao smiled with his lips curled up, and pointed out, "Are you worried about me?"

Su Shiqing had a chill: "Worried about you? I'm afraid you're gone. When the teacher comes over and asks, how should I answer?"

"Make it up yourself, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Jie Ao jumped up, turned over and climbed onto the wall.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What should I do if you leave?"

Su Shiqing shouted hastily, but Jie Ao was gone in the blink of an eye.

"hateful!"

As a result, Jie Ao just disappeared for three days and three nights, Su Shiqing just helped him pull out the weeds for two days, and also helped him copy the court rules hundreds of times, Su Shiqing was so angry that she cursed all day long.

The next day.

The sun hangs over the verandah to the west. Birds gather mud and grass stalks to build nests in hidden trees. The green leaves of the maple are like transparent crystals, shining brightly in the sun.

Su Shiqing came to the Guanhe Pavilion next to the lotus pond at the appointment, and Shao Erxue had been waiting for him there early.

Shao Erxue, who was dressed in a lake-blue casual dress with an amber ribbon around her waist, looked like a beautiful spring picture scroll from a distance, which was refreshing.

"Brother Han Su!"

Su Shiqing smiled and walked towards him.

Shao Erxue raised the corner of her mouth, gently touched his bruised eye sockets with her fingertips and said, "Do you apply the ointment I gave you every day?"

Su Shiqing nodded solemnly: "Of course, you see, isn't it much better?"

"It's much better." Shao Erxue interrupted him with a smile, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to the academy to sign up."

Su Shiqing raised a bright smile: "Okay."

Yuange Academy is located among the lush forests of Qingxi in the eastern suburbs. It is an elegant and millennium academy.

The green houses in the courtyard are densely packed and the houses are numerous. There are more than [-] buildings in total.Large and small courtyards are crossed in an orderly manner; pavilions and pavilions are simple and elegant; beautiful flowers and famous trees have different postures; poem couplets on the inscriptions can be found everywhere, and countless first-class outstanding figures have been cultivated for thousands of years.

Standing at the gate of the majestic academy, Su Shiqing raised her head, stared at the pair of couplets hanging in front of the gate, and couldn't help reading out: "Only Chu has talent, and he will prosper here."

He heard from Zhou Wu that Shao Erxue was originally a student of this academy, had obtained meritorious service, and was a Jinshi.

Walking on the forest road of the academy, the voices of Confucian scholars studying classics and history and asking questions came from the halls, which was even more beautiful than music to Su Shiqing.

He couldn't help thinking, if he could also be born in a famous family, how wonderful it would be to read, write, recite poems and paint in such a place!It's a pity that he was born as a child of prostitutes, and he will never be as good as them.

Shao Erxue took him to the "Gentleman's Pavilion" to register, and met many candidates who came to register on the way, including Wang Dafu. The two fellow villagers were very happy to meet each other, and couldn't help exchanging a few words.

Gradually slanting to the west, the sky is full of red clouds.

After dinner in the restaurant, Shao Erxue and Su Shiqing walked together in the bustling night market, chatting while watching the excitement.

This day is the birthday of the Bodhisattva, so the noisy streets are full of dragon and lion dances and lively festive scenes.Children played happily under the long lanterns, while adults gathered in groups in different places to give cakes to each other, watch the excitement, or chat.

Su Shiqing was overjoyed like a child. Compared with the lifeless painting academy, the people in the night market were full of vitality.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rioting footsteps in the crowd, and Su Shiqing stood on tiptoe to see, it turned out that someone on the bridge in front was distributing free blessing lanterns.

"Who makes such a big deal?"

More and more people came from all directions, Su Shiqing was accidentally caught in the crowd, Shao Erxue pulled him into his arms in desperation, and held him firmly in front of his chest.

Despite the noise around, Su Shiqing could still hear Shao Erxue's powerful heartbeat.

Boom, boom, boom...

When her cheek touched Shao Erxue's warm chest, her cheeks turned red even through the cloth.

Why is Shao Erxue's embrace so warm?People can't help but want to rely on it.

Su Shiqing raised her head and saw Shao Erxue frowning seriously, looking around vigilantly.

"It seems to have stopped."

"Um……"

Shao Erxue realized that she was holding Su Shiqing, so she quickly let go of him.Because his heart began to beat abnormally again, he was afraid that Su Shiqing would hear it.

Damn it!He couldn't control himself more and more!

Su Shiqing's mind was attracted by the wind lanterns on the bridge, and her eyes shone brightly: "Let's go and put two wind lanterns together!"

Shao Erxue nodded, and quickly covered up her abnormality with a smile.

It took them a lot of hard work to squeeze onto the Guanyun Bridge full of people.

Su Shiqing noticed that among the cloud-like crowd, the person who was handing out blessing lanterns looked very familiar.

"Jieao?!"

The person who issued the wind lamp here turned out to be Jie Ao, this guy, I never expected it!

"It's him?" Shao Erxue frowned.

A child with braids pulled Jieao's sleeve, and said to him in a childish voice: "Uncle, can you give me a red lantern?"

Jie Ao smiled and squatted down, pinched his lovely face and said softly: "Of course, here, here you are."

The child happily took the wind lamp: "Thank you uncle!" Then he threw himself into the arms of his mother who was beside him.

Jie Ao stood up with a smile, accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Shiqing and Shao Erxue in the crowd, and the expression on his face gradually froze.

"How come you are here?"

Su Shiqing looked at the lantern in his hand and said: "I heard that there are free lanterns here, so we came here."

Shao Erxue stared at Jie Ao with a serious expression, without saying a word.

Jie Ao simply turned his face away, as if he didn't want to take another look at the other party.

Su Shiqing looked at the two of them, one had a gloomy face, the other frowned, the atmosphere seemed to be getting colder and colder, even a little bit tense.

"Wow... Are these lanterns? They're so pretty!"

Su Shiqing took one from Jie Ao's hand, then pointed to the bright full moon in the sky and said: "The night is so beautiful tonight, why don't we go to the riverside to release lanterns to pray for blessings."

Jie Ao and Shao Erxue turned their heads at the same time, nodded to him in unison, looked at each other, and then looked away, with very indifferent expressions.

The sky seems to be washed, clear and bright, and the moon and stars are also washed, crystal clear.

The three of them walked side by side in silence by the embankment.

The white moonlight and lotus lanterns floating like a river of bright stars are scattered on the water, and the sound of footsteps and water are mixed together and flowing slowly.

Su Shiqing thought to herself, although the moonlight is beautiful and the scenery is very unique, but the two people beside her look lifeless, which is really uncomfortable.

There is a Guanyun Pavilion by the river, and some people put a few wind lanterns near here.

The orange-red wind lanterns slowly drifted towards the sky, and the light they emitted was like dancing elves, making the whole night sky bright and colorful. They gradually drifted away over the pavilions, towers, pavilions and treetops.

Shao Erxue took out a pen dipped in ink from the pen holder, and handed it to Su Shiqing: "Write your wish on the lantern, and then let it fly."

Su Shiqing happily took the brush, resting the pen on her chin and muttering: "My wish is..."

Ever since he was a child, he has only one wish, and that is to hope that his mother will be happy in heaven and not continue to suffer and suffer like in the world.

So I wrote a line of small characters on the wind lantern: I hope this life will be healthy and happy every year.

Jie Ao and Shao Erxue looked down at the same time, and then silently chewed the words he wrote in their hearts.

Jie Ao noticed that his eyes were covered with mist, probably because he was missing a relative, so he got up silently and went to the side to write a blessing.

Shao Erxue patted Su Shiqing's back tenderly, and asked after a long time: "Have you finished writing your wish?"

"Well, it's finished."

"Then let's let it fly together."

Shao Erxue helped him light the wind lantern, and the two of them grabbed a corner of the wind lantern, and then let go of their hands together. The slowly rising wind lantern and the moon halo merged into one, and slowly flew high into the sky.

Su Shiqing took a deep breath, pulled her thoughts back to reality, and looked at the lantern in Shao Erxue's hand with great interest.

"Brother Han Su, what wish do you want to make?"

Shao Erxue looked at his innocent face and said, "I want to become the imperial painter with you."

"Me?" Su Shiqing pointed at herself in surprise.

Shao Erxue smiled slightly: "Yes, you and I will write down this wish together, and then we will let it fly."

"Brother Han Su..."

Su Shiqing looked at him very moved, and the mist that had just been suppressed in his eyes suddenly appeared again.

Jie Ao, who was left out in the cold, felt very unhappy, looked at the two of them and yelled: "Hey, you two, can you stop being boring and disturbing me."

Su Shiqing stared at him angrily: "You bastard! What are you talking about?"

Jie Ao digs his ears as if he didn't hear.

Shao Erxue said indifferently: "I'd like to see what kind of serious wish someone who has nothing to do all day will write down."

Jie Ao's tone was equally cold: "Heh, Teacher Shao knows his students quite well."

"you flatter me."

Su Shiqing was angry at Jie Ao's rude words, so she went straight to him, grabbed the lantern with the blessing written in his hand and said, "I also want to see what you wrote?"

"To create a world free from disease, disaster, poverty, and hunger..."

Su Shiqing originally wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Jie Ao, but after finishing reading, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Jie Ao in silence for a long while.

I didn't expect that such a bohemian and mischievous person would write such a wish, which is indeed unexpected.

Shao Erxue was also stunned when she heard it, and frowned deeply when she saw Jie Ao.
