Chapter 119: The Letter Comes

yes, it's different, there's no going back.

Even if you can study, live freely like everyone else, and even enjoy wealth and glory again, your home is gone, and your parents, brothers, and relatives will never be the same.

Xue Qing raised his head and said, "I said something wrong, yes, it will never be the same." ”

Huang Ju didn't speak again, lowered his head again, and looked at his toes.

Xue Qing said: "True freedom is not where the body is, but what the heart does, doing what you want to do, doing what you want to do, is the real freedom, then you can learn to kill with me." ”

Huang Ju raised his head, his eyes that had always been indifferent lit up like stars.

Xue Qing couldn't help but smile: "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Xue Qing, a native of Chang'an Mansion, and I am fourteen years old this year." ”

What is his name, where is the person, how old is it, and even why he is a scholar but kills people at night, these have nothing to do with it, Huang Ju looked indifferent.

Xue Qing said: "Zi'an, Zi'an." ”

The door was pushed open in an instant, Guo Zi'an hurriedly walked in, Liu Chunyang probed outside the door, and shrank back when he saw her.

There was an extra person on the chair, and squatting on it, Guo Zi'an was not surprised...... It seemed that the surprise of this life had been used up at that glance on the stones by the river, and nothing could surprise him.

Xue Qing said: "He is Huang Ju, you take him to Uncle Qi and wash him and change him into clean clothes.... He still has wounds on his body to show him. ”

Guo Zi'an hummed and looked at Huang Ju, who squatted on the chair and didn't move.

Xue Qing said: "It's inconvenient for you to follow me now, they want to go back to Chang'an Mansion with me, they will take you to Chang'an Mansion and we will start again." He smiled again, "I mean what I say." ”

Yes, he counts when he speaks, Huang Ju jumped down from the chair, Guo Zi'an said let's go first, Huang Ju followed, and the two walked out of the house and walked along the corridor under the cover of night.

Xue Qing lifted the pen again, looked out of the door again, and the corners of Liu Chunyang's clothes shrank back.

"Chunyang. She said.

Liu Chunyang's half body was exposed, and he seemed to hum reluctantly.

"Have you written a letter to your family?" Xue Qing said, not looking outside, only lowering his head and dipping his ink.

Liu Chunyang said: "How can I have time to write that...... There is also nothing to say. ”

Xue Qing said: "No, if you have time, you can write more, if you don't have time to write less, how can you have nothing to say, such as what you ate today, who you met, what the exam was like.... People who are thinking about you when they go out can't see you, and they will be worried and uneasy, and they will be relieved to receive a few words..."

Liu Chunyang stood outside the door, half of his body leaned against the door, looking at the night lights in the courtyard in front of him, listening to the soft words behind him, it was really long-winded, he thought, but he didn't walk away, looked up at the night sky, fifteen has passed, and the moon is still bright.

The night was dark, the earth was muddy, and the night sky was a little clearer.

Under the moon, the pavilion and the courtyard seem to be really hazy, the sound of fine footsteps sounds, there are clothes corners flying, take the path, cross the corridor, turn the path, in front is a corner of the courtyard gate, there is a full moon lantern hanging on the courtyard gate, the door is half open, there are two small maids sitting on the side of the mountain stone in it, two lanterns are inserted on the mountain stone at will, according to the two delicate figures, they have a dustpan basket in front of them, and there are peanuts and dates scattered under their feet, while sorting and chuckling.

"Fresh?"

The voice sounded, and the two handmaidens who were laughing and focused hurriedly raised their heads, and saw a long figure shining in the shadow of the lamp, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"Young Master Liantang. ”

"It was just sent from the grange, and after eating, the housekeeper's grandfather grabbed a handful for us to eat. ”

They laughed.

Zhang Liantang bent down and pinched a date, threw it red in the palm of his hand, and said, "The autumn harvest is over, what are you eating today?"

A little maid took a handkerchief and wiped the dates in Zhang Liantang's palm, and a little maid tilted her head and thought.

"Eat white rice, fried slices of meat and green peppers, fish, pickled vegetables and tofu....."

Zhang Liantang smiled and sighed: "The food at home still sounds tempting." He threw the dates into his mouth, rattled and walked inward.

In a courtyard, three little maids pouted their butts and poked the cricket holes, and the two little maids were cooking tea under the porch, and they all got up when they saw Zhang Liantang coming in.

"Young Master Liantang, Young Master Qingzi's letter is here. A little guy said wiping his nose.

Zhang Liantang had a smile on his face, and he didn't say anything, and walked in, and the two little maids followed to serve.

The little guys looked at each other.

"Hehe, the young master didn't scold us for being naughty. ”

"That's because I'm clever.... said that the young master Qingzi had a letter, and the young master couldn't care about anything else. ”

The three of them crept back to playing.

The glass lamp was lit in the room, and Zhang Liantang, who had changed into a cloth robe after a simple freshening, sat in front of the desk, with a thick stack of letters on the desk.

"Young Master Liantang, this is sent in the evening. The maidservant said with a smile.

Zhang Liantang stretched out his hand and took it, opened it one by one, there were different names written on it, and the thickness of the letter paper was also different, and the maid held the lamp and tilted her head to look at it and smiled.

“.. Young Master Qingzi has written so much more..."

Zhang Liantang also smiled: "When I was at home, I didn't think he talked so much. Sort out the letter and hand it to the maidservant, "This is for Mother Xue... This is for Young Master Ziqian.... This is for Master Guo... You send it now. ”

Now, the maid looked at the sky, and it was midnight.... It's all asleep, okay to disturb like this? Why don't you send it early tomorrow morning?

Zhang Liantang said: "Sending it now will not disturb their sleep, but will allow them to sleep well." ”

The mother was worried, and the maid responded with a smile: "The maid will read the letter to Aunt Xue a few more times." He took the letter and walked away.

Zhang Liantang summoned another maidservant and picked out three letters: "Early tomorrow morning, I will send it to Young Master Leting, Mr. Zhou of Liudao Quanshan Social Studies, and the prefect..." ”

The maidservant answered and took it, Zhang Liantang looked at the table again, and there was only one letter left at this time.

"This should have been seven days ago. ”

People have left Chang'an Mansion for more than a month, the candidates walk slowly and need to rest to eat and drink, it takes more than 20 days to go, but the fast horse does not stop day and night, the letter can be arrived in ten days, the last letter is on the way, then this time the exam has begun, he reached out and picked it up, and the familiar words flew into his eyes.

“... Brother Liantang, it's not good, the enemies have met. ”

Suddenly, the young man sat cross-legged in front of him, his brows were raised, his words were scary, but his expression was still calm.... Naughty.

The corners of Zhang Liantang's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at a letter pressed by the stone on the side of the desk, the creases were obvious, and it could be seen that he often flipped through the ..... This enemy was naturally the innkeeper mentioned in the letter.

"I can't afford to lose anything. He said, "If you have to make a feud, you have something to do now." Looking down at the letter, the small words on the letter were round and dense.

“..... It's Xiliang people.... This group of Xiliang people is still very powerful, and Like actually got a full score..."

“... Of course I'm also very good, and we got full marks..."

The autumn night is cold, the canna is swaying outside the window, and there is a faint sound of dogs barking in the distance.

......

......

The night breeze in July was cool, and two lights were lit in the originally silent courtyard, which was vivid for a moment.

Nuan Nuan, who was wearing only a short shirt and a small skirt with loose hair, ran over, holding a small bamboo basket in his hand, with fruits rolling in it, with peaches and dates shining under the lamp, and standing on tiptoe on the table.

"Sister Weiwei, eat the fruit, fresh. She said.

The maid sitting on the chair responded with a smile, reached out and took a handful and handed it to Nuan Nuan: "Nuan Nuan also eats." ”

Mother Xue came in with tea and said, "Nuan Nuan went to sleep, it's too late." ”

Nuan Nuan was already sitting on the footstool: "Don't, I also want to listen to the young master." ”

The maidservant got up: "Don't be busy, madam." He took the tea and waited for Xue Mu to sit down before sitting down again.

Xue Mu said: "If you come here so late, there is nothing to entertain." He laughed again, "What is your wife?" ”

The maidservant said: "Young Master Qingzi wants to be the champion, and of course the aunt wants to be the wife." As he unfolded the letter, he said, "I'll read it to my wife." ”

Xue Mu said that her hands were clenched on her knees, her expression was a little happy and a little nervous, staring at the soft face of the little maid, thinking that Qingzi's skin was much better than that of this little maid, but it was a pity that the medicine powder had been covered for many years, and the crisp sound of the little maid was heard in her ears.

"Mother, how are you doing lately? I've arrived at Huangsha Road, my shoes are worn out, you have to help me make another pair, and I want this Su sample, I met the candidates from Su Hang, and they all praised my shoes for being good-looking..."

The little maid's voice was crisp, and the words she read out were all trivial things, what she ate, what clothes she wore, whether it was hot or cold in Huangsha Road, whether the exam was difficult, how many examiners there were, what banquets she attended....

Xue Mu and Nuan Nuan listened attentively, as if they had really gone to the exam..... Xue Mu sat up straight, but it wasn't.

"She... How are you doing?" she asked, interrupting the maid.

The little maid glanced at the letter paper and said, "Oh, I wrote it, Young Master Qingzi said that she is in good shape now..."

Xue Mu sighed lightly, understanding what Xue Qing meant.

“.... Don't worry, they're all there, and we've been to see where we're going.... I, and everybody, will be careful. ”

The little maid read it, these words are a little weird, but the young master said it, she is here to read the letter, and she doesn't need to think about anything else to read it.

This is a letter from seven days ago. Xue Mu asked, "Have you finished the exam now?"

Nuan Nuan hurriedly counted with her fingers, she could count within ten fingers, and she was worried that the next letter would not be counted when there were more days...... That grandfather named Hua only taught her this, and she didn't know where to go.

The little maid responded: "Don't worry, madam, there will be news in seven days at most, and the news from the government will be very soon, and Young Master Qingzi will definitely be able to win." ”

What she was worried about was not that she would not be hit, and Xue Mu's hands rubbed together on her knees.

The little maid read again: ".... Mother must be worried that she can't sleep, counting the days when you receive the letter, the matter should be over, but I don't know the result, I don't know at this moment, no one knows tomorrow's things, things may not succeed, but not success is not necessarily failure, as long as people are good, everything is possible. ”

The letter came to an abrupt end here, crisp and crisp, very different from the previous babbling.

As long as people are good, this is her promise, Xue Mu sighed lightly, I hope God has eyes, and the previous anxiety and tension will be eased a little.

The little maid did not put away the letter, and said, "Madam, the maid will read it to you again." ”

Xue Mu nodded, with a smile on her face, leaned over slightly to focus, Nuan Nuan was on the footstool with her chin in her hands and her eyes were unblinking.

On the other side, where Guo Huaichun, the Guo family's mansion, was located, and the house that had fallen silent was also lit up again.

Mrs. Guo was awakened.

"What's going on? in the middle of the night."

It's not a good thing to call the door in the middle of the night.

Guo Huaichun turned around in his clothes outside: "It's okay, it's Xue Qing's letter that came, and Liantang asked someone to send it." ”

Mrs. Guo was angry and funny: "When has this been... Can't you send it again tomorrow morning? When did this kid Liantang become so ignorant?"

Guo Huaichun said: "What do you know. "I sat down under the lamp.

Mrs. Guo poked her head from the tent and said, "Do you want to watch it now? Look at it tomorrow morning, you can't fly again." ”

Guo Huaichun only said: "You sleep." "I opened the letter.

Mrs. Guo said, "You don't really want him to be a son-in-law, do you?"

Guo Huaichun snorted and said vaguely: "That's not something I want to do or not." "Looking at the letter, the letter paper is thin, and it is very simple, speaking of Huangsha Road, I have finished a subject, and everyone who should be seen has seen it, everyone is fine, don't read it.

Counting that this is seven days ago, Guo Huaichun pinched his hands and pointed out that he would not go to the underground palace when he first arrived in Huangsha Road, so now the exam should be over, and he must have acted during this period.... I don't know how, this kid too, what's the use of writing a long-winded letter in the middle.

"What did he say?"

Footsteps sounded, and Mrs. Guo also came out in her clothes and leaned over to read the letter.

Guo Huaichun showed her and said, "I said that I got a full score in the first subject." ”

Mrs. Guo looked at it and said, "I can't wait to write a letter in one subject, it's early to report the good news, and I'll talk about it after the exam." ”

Guo Huaichun said: "Yes." He put the letter down and got up, "Sleep, sleep, sleep." ”

Mrs. Guo said, "Are you really in love with him?"

Guo Huaichun said: "Don't talk about this, go to bed early." "Go to bed and lie down.

Mrs. Guo was disturbed but couldn't sleep for a while, picked up the teacup from the bedside, and said, "It's you who don't sleep..... Could it be that he can really be admitted to the top prize?" After drinking half a lamp, he lifted the tent and went to bed, but saw that Guo Huaichun was already asleep, snoring heartily, and suddenly laughed, "I said that I couldn't sleep well for a few days and nights, and I couldn't stay up today?"

Or did you read Xue Qing's letter?

This thought came to Mrs. Guo and laughed again, how could it be..... She yawned and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, the doors open and close, the lanterns sway, and the carriage creaks, which seem to be annoying, but it also makes people sleep peacefully.

The morning light is bright, and the Guo family's school field is already shouting and cheering, and the family nursing home, including Guo Huaichun, is constantly tempered day by day.

The same is true for the children of the Guo family.

Guo Baoer, who was dressed neatly in the field, was dazzled by the dancing of the double sticks, and several girls around her were not idle, or dancing swords or practicing guns, and put them away, all sweating profusely before leaving with the girls, and halfway to see Guo Ziqian swaying and coming.

"Ziqian, why are you late?" Guo Bao'er shouted, "Be careful that my father punishes you." ”

Guo Ziqian raised his head with a sigh, Guo Bao'er was startled, and said, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Guo Ziqian's eyes were red and swollen, and he said, "It's okay, I didn't sleep at night, I'm happy." "Brother Qingzi wrote to me. He twitched his nose again, "Knowing that I am worried that I will not sleep well, I will have a letter delivered to me in the middle of the night." ”

Guo Bao'er smiled: "Then you still haven't slept well." Smiled and glared again, "Letter?Xue Qing wrote to you?" Looking back at the girl, "What about mine?"

The girls looked at each other.

Guo Bao'er was furious: "Didn't you write it for me?" stomping his feet and throwing his double sticks on the ground and running away in anger, the girls hurriedly followed.

Guo Ziqian shook his head, squinted his swollen eyes and said, "Women... How can you compare with your brothers. ”

The sky was bright, Chang'an City woke up, the city gates were wide open, cars and horses passed through, caravans entered and exited, and all kinds of news were transmitted.

......

......

"Where's Bao'er?"

One day when it was time to eat, Mrs. Guo didn't see Guo Bao'er.

"Are you still angry that Xue Qing didn't write to her?"

A girl grinned: "No anger, Miss is out." ”

Since she was a child, she has always gone out to run like a wild boy, and Mrs. Guo sighed helplessly and said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to play with Miss Wu'er of the Liu family. The girl replied, "Let people go back and forth to Mrs., Mrs. will take a break at noon, and Mother Wang will accompany her." ”

Mrs. Guo said: "How is it possible? She met Wu'er's enemies, and she was not allowed to fight." ”

"It's not a fight, I probably want to ask if Young Master Qingzi has written a letter to Liu Wu'er. The girl covered her mouth and smiled.

Guo Huaichun walked in and heard this unpleasant sentence: "Lock her up and don't go out again." ”

Mrs. Guo said perfunctorily, and asked people to urge Guo Bao'er to come back, and Guo Bao'er ran in from outside, shouting: "Dad, mother, mother, something is wrong, I have no face to see people." ”

Guo Huaichun and Mrs. Guo were taken aback.

"My son. Mrs. Guo almost sat on the ground.

Guo Huaichun looked at Guo Bao'er who ran in, her body was strong, her face was flushed, her eyes were shining, and her mouth seemed to be grinning..... Where does this look like a faceless person? It's a little ecstatic....

"That Xue Qing, in the gentleman's trial, for me, compared with others to play chess, he vomited blood. Guo Bao'er stretched out her hand to cover her face, "Everyone in the world knows that he likes me!"
