Marry the first wife

Chapter 28
backyard.

There was a hint of coolness in the air, and it was even more pitch black in front of him. There was a faint sound of wind in his ears, and everything seemed to be immersed in darkness, making it extremely difficult to see his true appearance.

Putting her hands behind her head, Fu Yao just lay quietly on the thick branches of the jujube tree. She had nowhere else to go in the entire mansion except here.

Only here, it is not connected to everything in the inner courtyard, and it is cut off from the outside world, but it is a good place to go.

In just an instant, a small brightness ignited not far away, as if it had ignited a single part of the world. Soon, a familiar voice sounded again, cold and cool, but with a strong aura that was unique to a man.

She is such a diligent person. She didn't know that Shen Zhaoxian came so early. She only knew that every time she came to the backyard, the people on the opposite side were already waiting for her.

He is truly one of a kind!

Fu Yao turned to look at the person on the wall. The darkness swallowed up everything and submerged her sight, so that Shen Zhaoxian didn't even know that someone was secretly watching her.

It's not really voyeurism, at most it's just an honest look.

The sound of reading loudly made Fu Yao's mood immediately improve a lot, and the gloom was swept away. Perhaps it was because Shen Zhaoxian had nothing to do with the entire Jingyuan General's Mansion. He came here just to die for his parents.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sun rose in the east.

Shen Zhaoxian looked intently at the book in front of him, thinking in his mind how long he could stay in General Jingyuan's Mansion. What else was missing in the scientific examination?
He raised his head casually and found that there was someone peeping at him from the jujube tree. He didn't know when the eldest girl came, but he only knew that her face was irrelevant and looked pitiful, like an unwanted pet.

Shen Zhaoxian put the hand holding the book behind his back, looked intently in the direction of Fu Yao, and said with a smile: "How come Shen doesn't know that a big girl just likes to climb trees, but today she actually likes Mr. Liang Shang?"

Hearing this, Fu Yao chuckled, but did not comment on Shen Zhaoxian's words. Judging from the current situation of the two of them, she was indeed a gentleman.

"Master Shen, if you work so hard, can you be sure that you will win in one fell swoop?"

Shen Zhaoxian frowned, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "If the eldest girl wants to, of course there will be. If the eldest girl doesn't want to, of course there won't be."

"I didn't know that Mr. Shen's ranking actually depends on me. How can I be so virtuous and capable?" Fu Yao sat up straight and said with a smile.

Hearing Fu Yao's joke, Shen Zhaoxian was not annoyed and straightened his expression, "Girl, I heard that Mr. Li took the exam yesterday. What was the result?" Fu Yao had told him about this.

After coming back yesterday, he waited here for a long time, waiting for news about her. Unexpectedly, there was no sign of her even after waiting for midnight.

"Young Master Shen, you should have more confidence in yourself. A little girl is not talented. With the help of Young Master Shen, she will be even more powerful. No, Master Li immediately gave me a first-class award."

Hearing this, a rare warm smile appeared in Shen Zhaoxian's eyes. He was not confident enough in himself, but clearly in the person in front of him. As I said before, this person had to study before dawn every day.

Who would have expected that a lady like you has so many things to do every day, and there is something to do every moment. Today is not this, tomorrow will be that. In short, it is difficult for him to have time to find out how much the person in front of him has learned.

Even if the person in front of him works very hard, he still doesn't know his background.

"Thank you!" Fu Yao looked at Shen Zhaoxian quietly for a while and said what was in her heart. If it weren't for Shen Zhaoxian's existence, maybe she would still be disliked by Master Li now?
Shen Zhaoxian smiled and said nothing.The days passed by, and Shen Zhaoxian followed his own plan and read at the backyard fence every day. During this period, he discovered something strange.

Recently, the eldest girl of the Fu family didn't know what happened, but she stopped being busy. She stayed in Anhe Courtyard all day without going out.

Later, after an accidental inquiry, Shen Zhaoxian realized that when Fu Yao was free, she was clearly grounded by Mrs. Xie because of the previous incident.

Yes, he also vaguely understood that the figure he saw from the back that day was definitely not a big girl. Also, how could a lady like a big girl, a noble daughter of a family, run out in the middle of the night?

Since the eldest girl was grounded and had nothing to do, he just happened to teach her the Four Books and Five Classics.

Fu Yao has no objections to this matter. The master is willing to teach, and the apprentice must study hard.

Shen Zhaoxian put down the ink in his hand, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the quiet and beautiful face not far away. It is not an exaggeration to say that the face is like a peach blossom, but some people are beautiful without knowing it.

The breeze blew over her face, lifting up a strand of black hair. The tip of her hair blocked her sight. Fu Yao stretched out her slender fingers and tucked it behind her ear. This scene happened to fall in Shen Zhaoxian's eyes.

At that moment, a seed seemed to be planted in the heart that had been silent for a long time, and some undetectable emotion quietly trembled.

"Master, what do you think of the copybook I wrote today?" Fu Yao proudly picked up the fresh copybook and shook it towards the slightly absent-minded person.

Immediately, Shen Zhaoxian came back to his senses and looked away as if nothing had happened. However, when he looked at Fu Yao again, there was a guilty conscience that even he didn't know existed in his eyes.

He raised his hand to receive the decree, and the small and exquisite characters appeared in front of his eyes. Shen Zhaoxian looked at it carefully and said softly: "Very good."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Yao grinned. Nothing makes people happier than others praising themselves, especially a person who is about to achieve academic success.

As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father, now Shen Zhaoxian is also her relative in a sense. It is of course a happy thing to be praised by her relatives.

"That's it for today. I have something to do tonight, so let's continue tomorrow!" The beauty appeared in front of him. After spending many days together, he could no longer control the trembling in his heart and desperately wanted to escape from here.

Fu Yao raised her head and glanced at the sky. Indeed, it was already late, and her hands were tired after practicing for two hours.

"Thank you very much for today, master."

Fu Yao offered blessings to Shen Zhao, walked to the table, and put away the calligraphy she had prepared. Shen Zhaoxian on the side looked at everything in front of him quietly.

After the beautiful girl left, he took out the decree that had been hidden behind him. There were a few big words written on it, "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the light will shine brightly every night." "

This poem expresses feelings and talks about the joy between men and women. His dark eyes stared coldly at the words in front of him. He didn't understand what the eldest girl meant by writing this.

Does he simply want to write, or does he already like others? If it’s the former, he’s naturally not afraid of anything. If it’s the latter, then...
