Sometimes, hunches aren't completely useless.On the night of the New Year, Zheng Qingchuan hadn't slept yet, and was playing roasted sweet potatoes with Aqing and Ayun.Mama Yun suddenly ran over, out of breath, panting and telling: "The one who hanged himself in the East Cross Courtyard just now, fortunately, he was rescued and rescued" Everyone changed their faces.The nurse hurriedly handed a cup of warm tea to Mama Yun, and then pulled her to sit down, asking her to breathe a sigh of relief first, and then explain it clearly.After a while, Mama Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in detail what doubts she had beforehand, how she found out, and what happened after she was discovered.Zheng Qingchuan stood up: "Did you tell the fifth young master" She knew that Su Mu was drinking with Master Du in the outer courtyard tonight, and he was drinking wine like wine.Mama Yun said, "The fifth young master has already gone to the East Cross Courtyard. ”Zheng Qingchuan picked up a sable cloak on the kang and said as he walked out, "I'll go and see it too."
Ah Qing and Ah Yun stay at home, and we'll be back later. ”Hearing this kind of thing during the festival, the maids all felt creepy, and the cucumber and muskmelon hurriedly stopped Ah Qing and Ah Yun and prevented them from chasing them out.Mama Yun and Chi Yue followed Zheng Qingchuan away, and the nurse stayed to watch the house.In the cold wind of Layue, Zheng Qingchuan's footsteps were urgent and fast, and Mama Yun consciously walked on the side of the tuyere to help block the wind.Walking to the east cross courtyard, Zheng Qingchuan saw the courtyard brightly lit, heard sad crying, and after entering the house, he saw Tong and Su Dong sitting on the kang, hugging each other and crying.It can be seen that Su Dong is not always confused, sometimes his mind is sober."
Uncle Cousin, Aunt Cousin."
As soon as Zheng Qingchuan spoke, Su Mu walked towards her.Tong glanced at Zheng Qingchuan coldly, then turned his head and didn't bother anymore.Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu both stood and did not sit down.After a while, Su Mu led Zheng Qingchuan away.Mama Yun stayed, and the people who kept vigil in the East Cross Courtyard today must have stayed awake all night.Out of the East Cross Courtyard, walking in the night breeze, feeling cold all around, Zheng Qingchuan said: "Is there a mood that is called life without love because you can't find happiness in life." ”That's why so many people in the world commit suicide and even self-harm repeatedly.Su Mu held Zheng Qingchuan's hand tightly, didn't want to speak, and remained silent with a solemn expression.Zheng Qingchuan was wearing fluffy gloves, and the two held hands together, and it was her hands that conveyed warmth.Su Mu probably went out too much and didn't wear a crane.Zheng Qingchuan noticed this detail, no longer let out a sympathetic sigh, took Su Mu's hand, and hurriedly trotted all the way back to the West Cross Courtyard.Ah Qing and Ah Yun are still waiting, but their eyelids have already begun to fight."
Brother Qiqi is back" Su Mu's eyes softened, and said, "Ah Qing, Ah Yun, you go back to the house and sleep early." ”Ah Qing and Ah Yun dozed off, nodded and reached out to take Zheng Qingchuan's hand.Zheng Qingchuan sent them back to the west wing, took off their coats, covered them with quilts, and watched them fall asleep, but did not continue to stay, but returned to the east room.Nested in the warm quilt, nested in Su Mu's arms, and couldn't feel the cold of winter, Zheng Qingchuan put his hand on Su Mu's forehead, and slowly massaged his fingertips.Su Mu's eyes were closed, and his silence conveyed a message, that is, tiredness.Zheng Qingchuan wanted to speak, but could only hold back.Fortunately, the following night was spent peacefully, and there was no sound of panic.In the morning, Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu went to the East Cross Courtyard in person.At this time, the Tong clan had calmed down and said to Su Mu, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”Zheng Qingchuan saw Mama Yun standing aside with two panda eyes and yawning.Almost all of the mothers-in-law in the East Cross Courtyard have panda eyes, which shows that it is very hard.So, she quickly thought of a reward plan.Su Mu replied: "Aunt Tang believes in the Imperial Doctor, don't give up. ”The Su family had Imperial Physicians come every day, and Imperial Physician Yao, Imperial Physician Li, and Imperial Physician Han came in turn.Tong slanted the corners of his mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, and thought: Trouble the imperial doctor every day, ordinary people don't have such a blessing Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan stood for a while, and then left.After breakfast, Mama Yun came to the West Cross Courtyard with panda eyes.Zheng Qingchuan was accompanying Aqing and Ayun to water the cherry trees in the yard, and when she saw her, she asked: "Mama Yun has worked hard all night, why don't you go back to rest" Mama Yun smiled bitterly: "It's not hard work, I just hope I don't come back a second time, my soul is almost scared Last night, I persuaded her all night." ”I see, no wonder the Tong family has become so calm today.Zheng Qingchuan said: "Mama Yun has worked hard, go back to sleep quickly, let the other housekeepers take turns guarding in the East Cross Courtyard, and I will tell Mama Yun to stew chicken soup in the kitchen." ”Mama Yun's smile immediately became joyful, and she saluted again before leaving.Zheng Qingchuan instructed Chi Yue to go to the kitchen to spread the word and add vegetables to Mama Yun and the mothers-in-law in the East Cross Courtyard.Recently, the people in the East Cross Courtyard have really worked hard, and if it weren't for them, the people who worked hard would be Zheng Qingchuan himself.Therefore, Zheng Qingchuan is very grateful to them and is willing to break the bank.In addition to the chicken soup, Zheng Qingchuan gave a silver bracelet.Seeing Zheng Qingchuan acting so generously, it can almost be said that he was generous, the nurse was a little crying and laughing, and persuaded: "The fifth young lady rewards so many things every time, I am worried that the mothers-in-law in the East Cross Courtyard will make trouble every few days" Zheng Qingchuan thought about it carefully and felt that there was really such a possibility.It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, and some people want to be emperors, so they first mess up the situation, and then fish in troubled waters in troubled times, becoming kings and defeating them.Speaking of which, things are a bit similar.Zheng Qingchuan said: "When Mama Yun wakes up, let Mama Yun go and beat them." ”The nurse was worried again: The fifth young lady trusts Mama Yun too much, what if Mama Yun is Mama Yun and those mothers-in-law collude with each other, and one nostril is out of breath, what should I do, but the nurse endured it and didn't say it.Ah Qing finished watering, put down the water scoop, and asked: "Can the cherry tree bear fruit this year, did we plant the wrong tree" Ah Yun stretched out his hand and stroked the tree, unhappy: "I haven't waited for five years" Zheng Qingchuan made an embarrassed expression and said: "Ask Su Mu later, Actually, I don't know the cherry tree, I don't know if it's true." ”She only recognized the cherry "good to ask brother" In the eyes of Ah Qing and Ah Yun, her brother Su Mu is omnipotent, Zheng Qingchuan understands Ah Qing and Ah Yun, she thinks: Su Mu is not omnipotent, for example, this morning Su Mu slept lazy, she opened her eyes, Su Mu was still sleeping, she opened her eyes for a while, Su Mu was still sleeping, she was bored, Su Mu was still sleeping, Ah Qing suddenly thought: "Is it that the roots are not growing well, dig out the roots, and plant them again." ”This is similar to what some parents like to say when they scold their children, "I can't wait to stuff your kid back into the stomach and give birth again", Zheng Qingchuan laughed.But Ah Yun agreed, and reached out to pull out the tree.Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly stopped: "It has grown a lot taller, and the roots are also very long, if you dig it out and accidentally dig up the roots, you will wait in vain for the past five years, if it is really a cherry tree, I believe it will be able to bear fruit this year or next year" "When I first planted the tree, I asked Mama Yun, and Mama Yun said that it would take five or six years. ”Wait, wait until the spring arrives at Su Mu to enter the examination room, what shocked Zheng Qingchuan the most is that Su Mu told her a few days ago that she would eat and sleep in the examination room for nine consecutive days Su Mu was going to leave home for nine days, and she didn't worry about Zheng Qingchuan, so she specially invited Hong Yuejing, her cousin, to come to Su's house to live and accompany Zheng Qingchuan.Hong Yuejing brought Xiao Wujiang and Xiao Wuhuai with him, and also said: "There are three exams in total, and each one is three days, and Xiao Wujiang and his father have also tested him before, and he was not lucky enough to take the same jinshi."
However, it doesn't matter if this happens, anyway, I don't want him to be a big official, just be a small official, and the risk is small. ”The eldest cousin-in-law relied on his family network to find a petty official with no grade in the capital, not even a nine-grade sesame official, but he really did things and received a lot of money.Although it was Su Mu who went to take the exam, Zheng Qingchuan felt that he was very nervous, and his heartbeat was a little irregular."
I'm not afraid that he won't do well in the exam, but I'm afraid that he will meet a strange examiner or a strange person in the same exam room.There will definitely be people cheating, and I've heard that sometimes it's a bit messy in the exam room. ”There are even times when innocent people are involved.Hong Yuejing laughed: "Qiqi Su Mu is the grandson of the Hong family, he almost didn't write these words on his face, who dares to harm him" blinked, and continued: "Don't worry, my grandfather is not a vegetarian, and Su Mu is not a stupid melon, don't worry" Xiao Wu Huai was already able to speak, and suddenly repeated in Zheng Qingchuan's arms: "Stupid melon" Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly handed a piece of apple to his mouth, successfully stopping his shouting.Hong Yuejing looked at her son and smiled even more happily These nine days are really difficult for people who are separated, it is too long Zheng Qingchuan has to toss and turn in bed every night, and then she is bored, so she will whisper Guan Ju Dove is in Hezhizhou.My Fair Lady, the gentleman can't ask for it, and he can't think about it.Leisurely, tossing and turning, she thought about Su Mu again, I wanted to think very much, Su Mu was worse than Zheng Qingchuan in the examination room, because the ancient examination room was different from the modern examination room, the ancient examination room was like a small cell, nesting in a small cell for nine days, that feeling can be imagined, Mrs.
Su reminded Zheng Qingchuan every day: "Ah Qi, do you want to worship the Bodhisattva and ask the Bodhisattva for blessing" Zheng Qingchuan said unintentionally: "As long as you believe in the Buddha, the Buddha is in your heart." ”Actually, she didn't believe it.Mrs.
Su had no choice but to close her eyes and recite Amitabha.For Zheng Qingchuan, she couldn't persuade her.Hong Yuejing sighed: "Qiqi, your life is really good, what you want to do, what you don't want to do, you make your own decisions":
