The Gilded Shadows of Orion Ke Chapter 2

If you treat yourself to a meal at the foot of Jingjia Mountain, the bill will not be presented to Master Ke. After he said that, the shopkeeper took the account book and went to the nearest Ke family bank to withdraw money, without him having to worry about it at all.

As a result, the school had a group of fresh faces. When someone came to visit the courtyard where he lived and thanked him for his support, Orion Ke realized that this year's enrollment had ended, and Linyuan School had a group of ambitious students. youth.

He smiled and exchanged greetings, and did not invite anyone in. He just stood in the courtyard and talked. After sending people away, he returned to the study.

Compared with the academies next to it, the division rules of the academic houses are relatively pure, and they are based solely on academic performance.

Since the second year of Qingzheng year, Orion Ke has ranked first in the first class every time. Naturally, he was assigned the best courtyard. He lived in the east wing and the west wing was empty.

Logically speaking, we should have a roommate, but there was an accident a few years ago.

One of Orion Ke's roommates got up in the middle of the night to take a pee, walked through the courtyard, and accidentally glanced at the east house. He was frightened half to death by something reflected in the candlelight and moonlight. He got seriously ill and moved out without stopping. Yucai fully recovered.

After that, only Orion Ke lived in this courtyard. The master of the courtyard acquiesced to this irregularity and did not arrange any roommates for him.

This matter hadn't spread, and even if he was frightened, there wouldn't be those short-sighted people outside arranging Young Master Ke's misfortune. Moreover, the compensation he gave was so generous that the roommate in front of him could only sigh, lamenting that he was really cowardly, otherwise he would not know how many benefits he would get from living with Orion Ke in the future.

But Caspian Li knew exactly what frightened the other party.

He once again sent away the new student who came over to talk to Master Ke. Orion Ke was no longer in the courtyard.

Caspian Li walked to the study window with ease and looked at the people in the room through the wooden window grilles.

I was scared when I first saw it, but as time went by, I realized it was no big deal.

Orion Ke was painting, his expression gentle and gentle, more and more like the gentleman in the book, without any hint of harshness or sharpness. The spring light and shadow passed through the window, fell on the desk, and spread softly. As the wind blew and the tree shadows swayed, the broken light began to dance.

On the rice paper is a picture of spring. Pear blossoms are blooming all over the courtyard, and there are people watching through the wall.

Snow-white flowers, fiery red clothes, dark hair and jasper hairpins. Just a back view can make people dream a lot, scratching their hearts and lungs, wishing to go into the painting and ask the person to turn around, so as to see what kind of peerless face behind such thick ink and paint can bear the responsibility of this world. , the only pile of colors.

But that was just a thought. Caspian Li didn't dare to ask Orion Ke more.

The reason is simple, that person is "sitting" on his desk.

---In the posture of a skeleton.

In other words, even the description "tool" is not realistic enough, because it is just a skull.

The bones are thick and dense, staring silently.

Caspian Li glanced furtively, then carefully looked away, chatting with Orion Ke as if casually: "You were too noisy at the foot of the mountain that day. Several groups of people have come to see you these days."

Orion Ke smiled, her expression always gentle, but her words were a bit harsh: "Am I some kind of monkey in the viewing garden, letting anyone take a look at me?"

Caspian Li choked for a moment, but did not refute. He drank a few more glasses of wine at the foot of the mountain that day before he couldn't stand the excitement and stepped into Master Ke's trap. Now that he was sober, he naturally wouldn't let him do this. Keep your harsh words to yourself.

He paused for a moment, called his cousin, and talked about another new thing: "Han Ying, I heard that a student was recruited this year. He is the child of the master in the courtyard."

After the words fell and there was no reply for a long time, Caspian Li himself added mysteriously: "It is said that his literary talent is outstanding and his appearance is better than that of Pan An. The masters have read his articles around the fire several times, and they are always impressed by it." Full of praise."

The spring light was just right, and the birds and birds in the mountains were chatting with each other. Orion Ke sat behind his desk, painting with his head down. He painted the last gold pattern on the red dress with great care, then put down the brush and looked up at Caspian Li.

"I heard, it is rumored..." He let out a low laugh, his eyes clear and clear: "Brother Li, if you are interested, just go and take a look, why bother coming to my place to waste time? "

Caspian Li was not upset when his thoughts were exposed. He just scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I would like to go, but..."

Orion Ke raised her eyebrows and waited for him to continue.

"It's just that there are too many people. When I came to your yard just now, I took a look at it from a distance. The people waiting at the door of Senior Brother Mu have already been lined up three miles away."

This was somewhat exaggerated, and Orion Ke understood: "So you want to invite me to go see it with you?"

Caspian Li's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly: "Is it okay?"

There are no distinctions between teachers, high or low, but there are always some visible or invisible hierarchies among students.

Where ordinary people used to have to queue, if Orion Ke went there, even if he was willing to wait obediently at the back, there would definitely be people in front willing to change places with him one after another.

Caspian Li's eyes were full of expectations. Orion Ke bent her eyes at him and showed a pretty smile.

Just when Mr. Li thought it was done, he heard the man say three words leisurely: "No."

Before Caspian Li could even take back the expression on his face, Orion Ke had already stood up, carefully picked up the newly painted painting and put it aside to dry, and said casually: "Monkeys see monkeys, but the beasts in the mountains, "

The sun was scattered in the mountains and forests, and the school was quiet and peaceful. Caspian Li was confused for a long time, and it wasn't until he walked out of the courtyard that he realized that what he said seemed to be talking about more than just them.

---He even ridiculed himself.

Caspian Li stayed for a moment, standing at the intersection of several dormitories. To the east was the residence where the new students were admitted, and to the west was the place where he had just walked out.

People pass by from time to time on the mountain road, some holding books or bringing gifts, walking east or west, either to see the newly enrolled senior Mu, or to pay homage to the well-known Ke Hanying.

At a certain moment, Caspian Li suddenly realized that Orion Ke did have a three-dimensional image.

It's really like a wild monkey growing in the mountains. It seems that the purpose of existing here is just for people to watch and make friends with, and to be a stepping stone on the road ahead for others.

At sunset, a few petals fell from the early-blooming peach. Caspian Li stood there and stared blankly for a while as the petals fell to the ground and were repeatedly stepped into the soil by passing ants, forming new nutrients.

It is spring, but it is also the season of withering.

When the sound of wind passes through, the flowers and leaves all over the mountain come to make peace. They are blown down by it and then rolled up by it, blowing from north to south and sent from west to east.

The courtyard gate was open for a day, and it was getting late. The people gathered in front of the gate finally dispersed together.

Some people want to invite the newcomers to have a meal in the dining hall, and some people want to host a banquet for this senior student who has become a favorite among the disciples when he first entered the school. I had various thoughts, but in the end I did it amidst the suppressed coughs.

---Senior Brother Mu is not in good health.

This is the intuitive understanding gained from these days. Even in March, there is a charcoal stove in the house. It is best not to open the window in the study room where the conversation is taking place. The welcome and delivery room, the opening and closing of the door, and the blowing of warm air can easily arouse him to cough.

He was supposed to look like a tuberculosis ghost, but he happened to have a unique good appearance. Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are clear and her eyes are clear, her conversation is gentle, her behavior is decent, and her movements are visible to the naked eye. She is as cold as the snow on the mountains and the crescent moon in the sky, but she also has twin peach blossoms that are capable of bewitching people. Recruitment.

In the past few days, among those who came under the pretext of talking about knowledge, few really wanted to talk about Confucianism and Taoism. Most of them wanted to see the expression in the eyes of this cool senior brother when he laughed. of gleaming brilliance.

It's a pity that since he has free time to queue up to watch the monkeys, most of his literary talents are mediocre, and few of them can really say one or two amazing words to make him smile.

Now that the courtyard door is closed, there are only two people left in the study. After listening to the words of the person in front of him, the young man in white pauses in the air with the pen in his hand. After reading a sentence of the beautiful article, he raises his eyebrows and opens his eyes slightly, almost disappearing into the shadows. in the smile.

"He said I was a mountain monkey?"

"What a courage."
