Chapter Eighty-Three: Autumn Has Arrived

The county lord of Mingdan didn't know what oath Zhou Xiuwen had made in front of his father and mother when he asked for marriage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info asked a little curiously, "Then what oath did you make at the beginning?" ā€

Zhou Xiuwen moved his lower lips, and finally whispered: "I said that I will be single-minded to you in the future, if you have two hearts, you should cut off your hands and feet, and you will not die." ā€

The county lord of Mingdan was stunned, now that Zhou Xiuwen has broken a leg, is the oath of the year fulfilled?

She suddenly laughed wildly, "When you came to ask for marriage, my father was still there, and he had a heavy army, of course you had to promise to be single-minded." Later, my mother died, my father also went, my brother was mediocre, you see that I lost my support, and I began to be half-hearted. If I hadn't been tough and made friends with Minghui and Duanjing, you would have taken a concubine long ago! No, now you accept it too! God has eyes, and retribution is not happy! ā€

"Dan'er, I was wrong. I will be good to you in the future, and I will not take concubines again, you call them, don't come and cut off my other hands and feet. I was thrown from a tree by the man and had broken my left leg. I don't know the location of the military department yet, whether I can keep it or not, I only have you, Dan'er. Zhou Xiuwen sat on the stretcher, begging bitterly.

The lord of Mindan sat on the bed, looking down at her husband, who had been in the same bed for more than ten years, and suddenly felt sad and cried.

She cried girlhood, wantonly flamboyant herself; She cried that after losing the protection of her parents, she supported the hardships of the county lord's mansion alone; She cried that she didn't listen to her mother's advice back then, and insisted on marrying the man in front of her, who had a stinky skin; She cried the sadness of having different dreams in bed all these years, she cried the helplessness of her daughter's death and could not take revenge, and she cried that she was entrusted to no one in this life, so that she suffered all her life.

After the Lord of Mindan cried heartily, she finally recovered a little, the pride of Girls' Generation! The father, the queen and the mother have passed away for more than ten years, and they still leave people behind, shelter themselves, and supervise Zhou Xiuwen to keep his oath!

Then she wants to live well, she is the upright and noble lord of the Nan'an Palace, and she wants to seek a future for the only two daughters and protect them for the rest of their lives.

As for Zhou Xiuwen, let's get by like this, my daughter has a father, so it's easier to say goodbye. and his position as a scholar, I have to help him keep it, so that his daughters can marry into a better family. Resolutely can't let Lingxiu and Lingyao go their own way and be deceived by men's superficial appearance. Only by marrying into a high family can you be respected by others, be superior to others, and raise your eyebrows!

Since then, on the surface, the lord of Mingdan and Zhou Xiuwen, the monk of Shangshu, the two have been reconciled as before, and their love is as good as ever. It's just that it is unknown what happened to the two people.

When Jun Feifei received the news that nearly 100 people were killed in a fire in Maoyan Alley, he was very surprised.

In fact, the daughter of the secretary of Dali Temple can hook up with Zhou Xiuwen, which is the thread behind his back. But now the entire Mao'er Alley has been burned, and all the people that night, except for Zhou Xiuwen, escaped and none of them were spared.

Jun Feifei secretly thought: Does the Lord of Mingdan still have such strength in his hands? No. If she had such an ability, she would not have been so angry that she vomited blood, and she would have lost face in Mao'er Alley, so that she couldn't get out.

It's not her, it's someone behind her to help her, who would help a powerless county lord, and help her cut the grass and eradicate the roots like this?

Jun Feifei couldn't figure it out, and Lao Ou, who happened to go to Mao'er Lane to investigate, came back.

"Old Ou, have you found anything?"

"Young master, everyone has been burned to charcoal, and nothing has been found. However, according to the people in Dog Lane next to Cat's Eye Alley. For about a quarter of an hour after the fire started, there was no movement in Cat's Alley, as if everyone had fallen asleep. Later, when the fire was bigger, I heard the sounds of help one after another, but the strange thing was that all of them were killed except for Lord Zhou. ā€

Jun Feifei thought for a while and said, "Old Ou, why do you think those people didn't move when the fire first started?" ā€

Lao Ou said contemplatively: "I think it must be, I am fascinated by drugs and other things." Otherwise, in Maoyan Alley, there are nearly 100 people in total, and it is impossible not to find the fire. ā€

"I also think that someone drugged him, and he had to deal with someone in Maoyan Alley, so he was ruthless and burned so many innocent people at once. Moreover, he only lived out a Zhou Xiuwen, which I suspect has something to do with the Lord of Mingdan. Jun Feifei analyzed.

Lao Ou said suspiciously: "But our people in the county lord's mansion haven't heard any news?" The county lord's mansion was monitored day and night, and no suspicious people were seen. ā€

Jun Feifei was silent, and asked again after a while: "Lao Ou, last time you asked you to check the whereabouts of King Nan'an and the year he married his step-concubine, did you find out?" ā€

"Young master, this is not difficult to check, I have already found out. King Nan'an married his step-concubine in July, and he was in the capital all year round and did not go out. ā€

After a pause, Lao Ou said a little heavily: "That year was the first year of Hongwu, the year before, that is, the year when the first emperor died and the rebellion of the four kings, the corpses in the capital were all over the field, and those who knew the details were silent, and I was still investigating the specific situation." At present, it has only been found out that the king of Nam An was the right deputy commander of the Gyeonggi camp and served under the god of war. In the second year of that year, that is, in the second year of Hongwu, May was the death sacrifice of my whole family. ā€

Jun's extraordinary flexible mind quickly went through all the information in his mind, but it was always like a puzzle, missing a few key pieces, and he couldn't spell out the truth of the matter.

"Lao Ou, you check slowly, I always think that the step-concubine of Nan'an is suspicious, but she is dead again." Jun Feifei can only arrange it like this.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, it is the autumn of the township examination, and for three days in a row, the examination must be closed in the Gongyuan. Yang Zhaowu was at the gate of the Gongyuan, took the examination basket from Ping Feng's hand, waved goodbye to his mother and younger brother in the carriage, and walked into the examination room.

At the moment of stepping into the Tribute Courtyard, Yang Zhaowu couldn't help but glance back, there was nothing. Secretly laughing at his stupidity, this is the capital, how could he have a feeling, and he was watching him enter the examination room.

Yang Zhaowu gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked in with his head held high.

In Jinling City, a few hundred miles away, outside the Gongyuan, Xie Yixin sat in the carriage and watched the students who entered the examination room one after another.

At this time, Brother Zhaowu was afraid that he had already entered the examination room, she touched the clay pot in her hand, and thought sincerely: If Brother Zhaowu is still in Jinling, he will definitely come to the examination room. The can of codonopsis chicken soup that has been stewed in the middle of the night in his hand is also drunk by some people.

I don't know how long it took, but the vermilion lacquer gate of the Gongyuan slowly "creaked" shut. Xie Yixin ordered in a low voice, "Go back." ā€

Soon, the three-day Qiuqiu Township Examination ended, and the families with candidates at home were anxiously waiting for the results, and they didn't even have a good Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Xie Mansion is not deserted. Although it is not like in previous years, I have spent it with Mrs. Yang and Yang Zhaowu, but with the addition of Jun, it is still a lot more lively.

There are a lot of small lanterns hanging in the courtyard, and the stone table is full of melons and fruit snacks, including grapes, cantaloupe, papaya, pomegranate, crab roe crisp, dragon beard cake, walnut slices...... There are also nut mooncakes made by Xie Yixin.

Old Man Xie's father and daughter and Jun Feifei sat around the table, talking and laughing, and Mingyue was also very appreciative. The full moon is as big as a silver plate, the moon is like water, surrounded by stars, and the bright moonlight spreads all over the earth like a light veil.
