Chapter 217 is out of the case

When Qiu Chen asked this, Liao Wenqing was obviously stunned, then lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes, and the apprehension in his eyes was fleeting, and they brightened again. No, it's brighter than before, and the eagerness is even stronger.

He leaned forward again, held Qiu Chen's hand, looked at Qiu Chen's eyes, but did not answer, just happily confirmed: "Are you willing?" Would you like to do that, too? ”

Although it was a question, Liao Wenqing was overjoyed, and without waiting for Qiu Chen to answer, he continued to say quickly: "Family...... Father appreciates your ...... You don't have to worry, if you get married, if you don't like the family to be troubled, we won't live in Anyang Mansion, we can live in Anping County, we can live in Zhengding Mansion, or we can go to Beijing to buy a house to live in...... If you like Liujiaao, let's live in Liujiaao, go out every day to see the lotus pond, watch the children practice kung fu, and go to school...... Or, didn't you say you'd like to walk around? Let's pick up the warm spring day, go south with the water, you don't know, the scenery in the south is very different from ours, pillow water, small bridges and flowing water, smoke and rain long alleys...... You'll love it...... When the time comes, the two of us will take a flat boat to see the waterfront promenade of the water town, and enjoy the vast waters and sky of Taihu Lake......"

Qiu Chen silently withdrew his hand, pursed the corners of his mouth, and still ruthlessly interrupted Liao Wenqing's longing for happiness: "It's too early to say this. ”

"Uh, oh, hehe, yes, yes...... What you're saying is. Liao Wenqing retracted the look on his face, turned his eyes and saw Qiu Chen laughing a few times with some shame, rubbing his hands and saying, "Don't worry, I, I just can't help myself, and I don't mean to be abrupt with you...... That, that, when you get rid of it, I'll send a matchmaker to say goodbye. At home, you don't have to worry, your father is very open-minded, your mother is also very loving, and they will definitely like you...... Father and mother are very fond of children, and they are very fond of the children of the eldest brother and the second brother, and you can rest assured that they will also like Afu Aman's...... How nice! ”

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and hid the emotion and disapproval that came to him.

Yes, in his mind, his father is open-minded and his mother is loving, and that is because of his little son. Father and mother love children very much, and they love their grandchildren very much, which is their own blood and flesh grandchildren. Even if she marries him, the fact that Afu Aman is not the granddaughter of the Liao family will never change, being despised and disliked, and even being ignored by others, I am afraid that it will be inevitable...... No, not possible! The two patriarchs of the Liao family are sure that they will never treat Afu Aman like their own grandchildren. To be able not to be deliberately embarrassed, to be able to be bland and straightforward, I am afraid that these are the most haode results!

Liao Wenqing talked about his family, the kind of intimacy that emanated from his heart was really strong, and Qiu Chen's heart that had just been shaken fell little by little. A little bit of heat in my heart, but also a little bit of cooling.

The more you love your son, the more you can't accept that your son will find a widow with a child as a wife, right? Pan Jiaqing's mother is a vivid example! Pan Jiaqing is just a student who has not achieved fame, but the Liao family is a century-old family and the richest man in Anyang Mansion! How could the Liao family be happy that she married into the door with two children......

In this situation, if he followed him regardless of it, it was okay when he loved her heavily, but the shelf life of aiqing's thing was too short, what about after aiqing's expiration date?

When Aiqing's impulse recedes, when the heat of his feelings cools down, and he wants to return home, will he miss the warmth of his parents and his brother and sister-in-law? Almost as soon as this question mark appears, the answer is clearly highlighted. Or, the answer is too obvious, it is already there, and she doesn't need to think and think about it.

At that time, in the face of the parents and family who still can't accept her and the children, will he feel tired, will he regret it, will he ...... Abandon?

The answer behind this question mark, she didn't want to think about it, and she didn't want to look for it.

Because she knows very well that no matter whether the answer is or not, at that time, in the face of that situation, he will always feel tired, even if he will not regret it, even if he will not give up, one day, in the face of his parents who are getting older and older, or after the death of his parents, he will be ashamed of today's willfulness...... Saddened!

At that time, can they really cross this deepening chasm between them? Is it relatively speechless, or do you want to see the two hateful?

She didn't dare to think about it...... She didn't dare to bet either...... She's a coward...... Oh, she is not a husband, she is just a woman, a little woman who lives in this cannibalistic society and understands that it is not easy to be a woman!

After a few quick spins in his mind, Qiu Chen calmed down again from the inside out.

She raised her eyes, looked at Liao Wenqing, interrupted his longing again, and said lightly: "It's still early!" ”

Liao Wenqing was stunned, looking at Qiu Chen, his eyes full of doubts, but he still nodded his head without hesitation.

He wanted to say something, but was preempted by Qiu Chen: "I still haven't told you one more thing...... Or rather, I've never told anyone......"

After a brief pause, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to Liao Wenqing's eyes: "Actually, the water bandits in Anyang Mansion came at me. ”

In just one sentence, Qiu Chen spoke very calmly, and his voice and tone were calm and waveless, as if to say that the weather was really good today. But Liao Wenqing, who was fixed on her look, heard a smell of killing from between the lines of this calm and waveless word. This sporadic atmosphere is not public, not noisy, but no one can deny its intensity, as if the strong blood that cannot be dissolved, coagulated, it has become a place that cannot be erased, can not be ignored and cannot be diluted, silent, if no one reminds it may be inconspicuous, once it is pointed out, the heavy and indissolvable coldness will rush into the cracks of your bones and drill into your bone marrow...... Let you give birth to a terrifying chill from the bottom of your heart!

Shidder! Subconsciously avoided the gaze!

Liao Wenqing forced himself to calm down, calm down, turn his gaze, and look at Qiu Chen again. But he saw that the woman who had just made him tremble in an instant had lowered her eyes, and was slowly rubbing the edge of the teacup with her slender and slender fingers.

Because she was born in a peasant family, her finger joints were slightly visible, and her skin was not as smooth and delicate as he was used to. But the hands are now well cared for, the skin has become delicate, the nails are short, round and small, and the nails without any paint have a shell-like pink glow...... His eyes fell on these hands, and he told himself very clearly in his heart that there were no more beautiful women than her, but he just liked her as a person. Because I like her, including the beauty in her, but also the shortcomings in her!

Liao Wenqing didn't look up, and responded calmly: "I know." Four or five days after the accident happened, I got the letter. When Xuzi Mansion took the test, I came back and confirmed that the person behind that incident was Hu Yanxun...... It's just that he shot ruthlessly, didn't leave a living mouth, and not only couldn't find the evidence of the crime he instructed for a while, but also had to sing praises for him! ”

Liao Wenqing clenched his fists tightly, and his face condensed. In that killing, hundreds of people died, but for various reasons, several parties who knew about it had to join forces to block and suppress the situation. It can be said that the water bandit incident is an extremely rare successful case of joint cooperation between the military and the government, and it can be called an exemplary one.

After that incident, the people of Anyang Prefecture, even the people in the villages next to the disaster, did not react, and those who were a little farther away did not hear the wind at all. Hundreds of lives are like a fresh breeze, blowing through without a trace...... A few days later, the people of Anyang Mansion only passed on the courage and courage of the new commander, who loved the people like a son and asked for the people's lives...... I don't know at all, it's a complete hypocrisy, a Shura demon with blood-stained hands, cannibalism and no bones!

Qiu Chen pursed the corners of his lips, raised his eyes to look at Liao Wenqing, and said, "Although this matter is aimed at me, the Yun family of the Yun Governor Mansion is also involved...... Could it be that he is just allowed to do whatever he wants? ”

Liao Wenqing sighed and said: "At that time, the situation was not clarified, and this matter was completely lost. If you want to bring him down, it is not feasible for a while, you need to think slowly......"

Qiu Chen didn't understand that the water bandit incident was not immediately understood, and the Yun Governor's Mansion also went along with the guilty plea...... It's like being forced to get on a thief ship, and once it is tossed out, the Yun Prefect Mansion will also be implicated!

She studied chemistry, and this event is like a chemical reaction between substances, and it is an irreversible reaction, and it is impossible to completely reduce it, but it can only be gradually reduced from other aspects!

Seeing Qiu Chen's solemn face and depressed expression, Liao Wenqing's heart was tingling, his elbows were propped up, he leaned over slightly, and comforted him gently: "You don't have to think too much." This isn't necessarily for you. More for the Yun family, followed by the Liao family...... Or for the merchants of Anyang Province. He had no background to rely on, so he implemented a hot hand deterrence...... Speaking of which, we still have a problem with you! ”

Qiu Chen waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "What do you say is not even affected." It's just a lot of money, but there are still hundreds of lives......"

Liao Wenqing's expression was inevitably gloomy, but he was much better than Qiu Chen.

He sighed in frustration: "Alas, after all, that man has military power in his hands, an army of several thousand people...... We, the common people, are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But don't worry, we're not going to leave it at that. Yun Zhifu and Yun Er both said that this matter must be turned over one day! ”

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and sighed secretly. She just wanted to change the topic and let Liao Wenqing retreat, but she didn't know what was going on, why did she become irrelevant when she was talking? However, she couldn't tell Hu Yanxun that Lin Sheng was the matter......

"Well," nodding helplessly, Qiu Chen said indifferently, "I know what's at stake, and I won't get into the nitty-gritty." ”

Liao Wenqing's expression was relieved, and he showed a smile, wanting to reach out and pat Qiu Chen, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous again, and only said softly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, there is me." In the future, there will always be a day when this breath will be exhaled. ”

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and hid the emotions in his eyes. I was thinking about how to dispel Liao Wenqing's thoughts.

It's not that Liao Wenqing is bad, and it's not that she has any prejudices against him, it's just that if Liao Wenqing and her are really together, if they don't say anything else, Hu Yanxun won't be able to get along at all......

After a long silence, Qiu Chen spoke: "The matter of proposing...... There is no hurry. You can also mediate all the affairs in the capital with peace of mind, and strive to make more friends in the capital, and in the future, whether it is business or life, it will not be like this time. ”

Liao Wenqing's eyes darkened, and he exhaled lightly, and a layer of joy gradually appeared on his face. Although the proposal was postponed, but when she said this, it was considered a deservient decision, right?

Nodding his head, Liao Wenqing smiled and said, "I'll listen to you." ”

After a pause, as if emphasized, he repeated again: "I listen to you." ”

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, noncommittal, and only looked up at Liao Wenqing: "You won't go in and out of my side like this in the future." ”

Liao Wenqing was slightly stunned, and then happily agreed. Once a man and a woman talk about marriage, there is a custom that they cannot see each other before marriage.

"It's not early, you can go to the East Courtyard for lunch." Qiu Chen's eyes flashed, and without waiting for Liao Wenqing to answer, he raised his voice and called Chunxiang, who was waiting outside the door, to come in, "Take Gongzi Liao to the East Courtyard!" ”

Chunxiang was slightly surprised, this Liao Gongzi had no use to lead him in and out before. However, he immediately agreed, and bent his knees to Liao Wenqing: "Young Master Liao! ”

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen with a happy face, as if he wanted to see all the things that would not be common in the future in advance, put them in his eyes, carve them into his heart, and take them away!

Qiu Chen stood up with a faint smile: "Go quickly!" ”

Liao Wenqing grinned at this time, arched his hand, and followed Chunxiang out in a daze.

Behind him, the smile on Qiu Chen's face quickly dissipated. She knew that it was wrong to be vague like this, but she was afraid that if she refused categorically, it would affect their cooperation...... Today, the Lin family and the Liao family have many cooperation projects, and it is no longer as simple as saying that they will stop.

It was only after a long pause that she let out a long breath.

She could only reduce the number of times she saw each other, hoping that after such a long time, his enthusiasm would slowly cool down. Or, when he meets a girl who really agrees, he puts this relationship away......

Yun Jichen didn't turn back until the evening this day, and when he came back, he saw Liao Wenqing's face full of joy that he couldn't hide, first pursed his lips, and then chased after him, but was driven away by Liao Wenqing with a smile, and he didn't miss a word. was so hated that Yun Jichen jumped to his feet and scolded Liao Wenqing: "You have no conscience, why are you hiding out so understandingly and creating opportunities for you!" ”

Liao Wenqing was in a good mood, but he didn't pay attention to what he scolded at all, hugged Yun Jichen's shoulders with a smile, and pushed him out: "Let's go, let's go outside the academy and have a look...... It just so happens that the Huiying Hall over there has a new cherry button meat, as well as cherry wine, which is said to be a double must, let's try it too! ”

As he spoke, he dragged the scolding Yun Jichen out of the door without saying anything.

With two experiences of accompanying the exam, Qiu Chen was not so nervous this time. I also pulled out the time to send Shunzi and frankincense back to Liujiaao, and sent some cherries back to the Guo family, the Yun family, the Liao family, and the Yang family's shop, and went to see the situation by the way.

After the two exams, Lin Xu and the three of them seemed to have a serious illness, their faces were full of tiredness, their eye sockets were picked, they dragged their steps, and got in the car with the support of Daxing and others, and returned home. Qiu Chen had already ordered someone to prepare hot water, let the three of them take a hot bath comfortably, help them on the kang, eat something, and fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. This sleep was more than ten hours, and it was not until the next morning that I had enough sleep and woke up.

Fortunately, no one fell ill. The three of them are young, and their foundations are good, and they recover after a good night's sleep.

Lin Xu and the others finished the exam, but Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing did not return to Anyang Mansion, but returned to the capital directly from Zhengding Mansion.

Liao Wenqing was a little reluctant. Since Qiu Chen spoke that day, he has hardly seen her, and it has been another month to go to the capital...... He really wanted to say a few words to Qiu Chen alone, but he couldn't find a chance. Qiu Chen is very busy, and he has changed his original casualness, and has become more disciplined, always following the girl. Even if you see it from a distance, it is impossible to say anything close to yourself.

Helplessly, whether he was reluctant or not, Liao Wenqing was still dragged by Yun Jichen to embark on the journey back to Beijing. The workshop in the capital has just been built, and there was an impeachment incident before, this time for Lin Xu to rush back for the exam, the start of work has been postponed, and if you don't go back, there will be too many delays.

sent Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing away, and it was time for the 'case' to be 'out of the box' in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Lin Xu said goodbye to Qiu Chen and went out with Yao Yunxiu and Han Jingyu. In order to take care of it, out of Lin Xu's little servant Yuliang, Qiu Chen sent Daxing to go with him.

Qiu Chen couldn't sit still at home, but Yufeng had two experiences, and asked for some trivial matters to distract Qiu Chen's worries.

"Madam, yesterday my father went out to exchange ten dollars and came back, can you see if we are in a string or scattered?"

Qiu Chen was stunned, and then smiled: "Are you so sure?" ”

Chunxiang interjected with a smile next to him: "Of course, the second master's knowledge is so good, how can he fail the exam, he must be successful, he must be successful!" ”

Yufeng slapped Chunxiang and said with a smile: "You rushed to say all the good things, you want to get a few more strings of money when you see the reward, right?" ”

Chunxiang pouted and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't give a reward and says the same, is it the truth!" ”

Turning his head, he bent his knees to Qiu Chen and said, "However, Madame has always been generous and generous, and she is also happy to give a reward." The slave and maid are looking forward to the smooth progress of the second master's scientific examination, and even in the middle of the examination, the slave and maid have asked for a few rewards! ”

As he spoke, he really relieved Qiu Chen's worries a lot, and said happily: "Take five hangings and wear them into a string of twenty with red rope." Scatter the rest. There are also silver beans prepared, sealed with one five taels, sealed with ten taels, and the others with one tael, sealed with twenty! ”

Yufeng and Chunxiang responded with a smile, turned their heads, and the two of them worked together to carry the basket of copper coins in front of Qiu Chen, and pulled Qiu Chen to wear money strings with them.

Besides, when Lin Xu and the others arrived outside the academy, they saw the candidates and servants waiting to see the list, plus the crowd of people who came from all over to see the excitement, and the gate of the academy was already crowded inside and out.

Fortunately, there is a teahouse not far from the college, and a seat upstairs was booked a day in advance, and there is no private room for people to use at this time, and the room facing the street is full of tables, chairs and benches, so as to attract a few more business. The grand event of the hospital examination is not every day, and the exam is taken twice every three years, and the business must be done every time.

Daxing led Lin Xu and the three of them upstairs to find a seat for haode, and the messenger who went to the gate of the academy to see the list naturally fell on Yuliang. Yu Liang originally knew a few words at home, but after following Lin Xu at the Lin family, he followed the school every day, and he was almost able to read through the three-character scriptures and the surnames of hundreds of families, and he knew a lot of words.

Yuliang couldn't walk after running a few steps, and although the errand officer who had committed the crime hadn't come yet, the people who were waiting for him couldn't wait for him to squeeze in at this moment.

Yu Liang looked for a few empty spaces, but he was blocked out before he could squeeze in, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly held a pair of big hands on his shoulders, and before Yu Liang was surprised, he heard Shen Hu's voice sounding above his head: "And wait for a while, when the person who broke the case comes, I will help you go in!" ”

When Yu Liang heard this, he smiled and thanked Shen Hu: "Thank you Master Shen, thank you!" ”

One big and one small were talking behind the crowd, Shen Hu asked Yuliang's age and background, and as he was talking, the crowd was in a commotion, the gong sounded loudly, and someone shouted: "It's a crime!" ”

Wow...... The crowd was surging and excited like a tide, and they rushed towards the sound of the gong.

Boom Boom Boom ...... When the gong came closer, the officers had a tiger's face, and the current one of the officers who was beating the gong shouted loudly: "Flash, flash, I don't want to see the case, what a squeeze, sooner or later, I won't be able to see it......"

The crowd shook in response, and a narrow path was carved out of the middle for the officers who had committed the crime to enter.

As soon as Shen Hu's hand was forced, Yu Liang only felt that his body was light, and he had been lifted up, and then his butt was implemented, and he was actually carried by Shen Hu on his shoulder.

"Let's go!" Shen Hu let out a low shout, and his tall and strong body became as flexible as a swimming fish, and followed the servants into the crowd close to their bodies.

All the way to the notice wall of the list, Shen Hu put Yuliang down on the ground. One of the two officers took a broom and smeared a few pastes on the wall, and the other officer opened the list in his hand, measured whether the direction was correct or not, and pressed it with both hands, and pasted a list of papers.

Yuliang is short, so he started to look at Zuihou in the lower left corner, and looked all the way over, but fortunately, Shen Hu was protected by Shen Hu with his arms behind him, so that he would not be squeezed against the wall. It's just that a list saw the end, but Lin Xu's name was not found, but Yao Yunxiu's name was seen in the middle, not only Lin Xu's name, but also Han Jingyu's.

Yuliang was dumbfounded!

How could it be, how could there be no name of his second master? The second master studied so hard, and Mr. Guo was so good, and there was ...... And the lady is so haode sister-in-law...... The second master's knowledge has been praised many times even by Master Guo, why is there no one? How can you fail the test?

Stunned, Shen Hu looked back and found that something was wrong with Yuliang, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What is the kid in a daze, didn't you see that it was posted over there again!" ”

Yu Liang shook his head, turned his head to look at Shen Hu's guidance, and just happened to see another case list also posted.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "The first list is out!" ”

Yuliang suddenly came to his senses, raised his hand and slapped his head.

Yes, the rules of the list have always been to start from the end of the list, the top of the list, Zuihou, how did he just make a fool and forget about this kind of thing! Hi, hi, hi! It's stupid! Stupid and stupid! Stupid and stupid!

Bang bang, slapped himself three times, Yu Liang opened his eyes and looked, and while opening his eyes, he was still silently praying in his heart, there must be a second master, there must be a second master......

There are almost fifty or sixty on the second list. There are many big words on this list, and there are many empty ones, and there are ten names written neatly.

Yu Liang swept over at a glance, and almost instantly, he saw the word 'Lin Xu' in third place, and jumped up suddenly!

"The second master is in the middle! Our second master is in it! Our second master has won the first list! ”

cheering, Yu Liang was about to squeeze out, at this moment the excitement didn't even need Shen Hu, it seemed that he had already inserted his wings and floated in the air, and he could see the second master in the next second, and tell the second master the good news!

Shen Hu grabbed him with a smile, still sat him on his shoulders with both hands, and reminded him with a smile: "You kid only remembers your second master, can you pay attention to Yao Gongzi and Han Gongzi?" ”

Yu Liang slapped a slap on the door of his head, and said anxiously to Shen Hu: "Master Shen, I saw Yao Gongzi, but I didn't look for Han Gongzi...... What's that, I haven't looked at Yao Gongzi's ranking, I have to see ......"

Qiu Chen's master and servant were wearing money strings with a smile, and the waiting time became less difficult. Before I knew it, an hour had passed, and I heard a gong ringing in the distance, and Haruka immediately jumped up.

"Crime!"

Yufeng and Qiu Chen also stopped and listened with bated breath.

The sound of the gong fell, and there was a faint cheer, followed by several gongs in different directions.

Yufeng looked back at Qiu Chen and said, "Madam, the good news is out!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded again and again, and was about to walk out. Yufeng hurriedly pushed Chunxiang to follow, but she patiently quickly packed up the money strings and red envelopes of the strings. With so much silver and copper coins left here, she didn't dare to leave. It's just that while he was busy at hand, he prayed in his heart, praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and blessed the second master to pass the exam smoothly. Not to mention anything else, just the dedication of Mrs. should be able to move the gods and spirits of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens!

As soon as they walked into the east courtyard, the Shunzi family, the Wang family, Qin Yong and others had already run outside the gate. Junzi is taking out two plates of firecrackers from the warehouse, and is beckoning Baozhu and Jialiang to move a ladder and take a bamboo pole, and the good news will come to the door, and the firecrackers will explode on the gate floor.

"Where did you go when you heard the gong?" Qiu Chen ran over a little panting, and asked anxiously.

"Listen to it getting closer...... Shunzi's family replied casually, and when he looked back, it was Qiu Chen, and he hurriedly smiled and bent his knees, "Madam, your reward can be prepared, and the good news will come to the door later, but you have to hand it out immediately!" ”

Qiu Chen was listening carefully to the sound of the gong with his ears on the approaching sound at this moment, and a large area of joy came out from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't look back, but waved his hand again and again: "In my house, where is the jade phoenix, hurry up and carry it out!" ”

The Shunzi family hurriedly responded, pulling the Wang family and running into the west courtyard.

The sound of the gong is getting closer and closer, and with the sound of the gong, many adults and children who are watching the excitement also follow over, and before they can wait for the official hat alley, they can hear the shouts of the errand officers from afar: "Lin Shi Xuxu High School ranked third in the first list of the Zhengding Mansion Examination in ×× year......

------Off topic------

It's really inefficient these days, and it's only at one point that I get these ......

I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow to go to the grave, and I don't know what time I will be back. Come back late, and the update the day after tomorrow may be later......
