Chapter Ninety-Four: The Parting "Gift"

After the first month, according to the calendar, the big festival will be Qingming. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it is still far from Qingming, and there is a small festival in early February, which rural people have always attached great importance to, and that is the sting.

The peasants who went down to the land to plough the soil were all looking forward to the spring thunder. As the old saying goes: "When you plow the soil, the vernal equinox is ventilated." "As long as you plough the ground after hearing the spring thunder, you can be sure that you will have a good harvest throughout the year.

However, these are all customs in the countryside, and the people of Linhai County believe in another saying: "The sting is the big day of the dragon clan." It is rumored that whenever there is a dragon clan cultivation promotion, it will be chosen on the day of the sting, and the so-called spring thunder is actually the dragon clan is in the catastrophe. ”

Whether the rumors are true or not, no one knows. But the time when the embroidered girl entered the imperial city from the states was set to be the day of the sting.

Chen Fan'er was informed that the dragon boat that came from the imperial city to be responsible for the pick-up and drop-off would not enter the county until the evening, so there was plenty of time, enough for Chen Fan'er to explain some more things to Song Qingsong.

"Uncle Song, you can put away this little white pill. When the lady is dumb and the poison is lifted, you must let her not be in a hurry, it will take time to practice to resume speaking, and you must not be impatient. Chen Fan'er said that a ball of spider silk was an elixir, but Song Qingsong wouldn't find anything.

"Miss Fan'er rest assured, Miss Cheng has always been steady. It's just that the force is meager, and I can't help the young lady in the imperial city, so I won't go with you. Song Qingsong knew that Chen Fan'er had a cloud belt to protect himself, and he was much more relieved.

If even a treasure like the cloud belt can't save Chen Fan'er, then having one more of him is just a burden.

"Uncle Song, you can recuperate with peace of mind. I have repaired the book and returned home, so that the master can arrange to enter the county as soon as possible. In addition, I have also greeted the captain of the guard in the Imperial City, and I believe that no one will deliberately embarrass the master in the future. ”

"Miss Fan'er has a heart. It is really a blessing for the Cheng family that the master can adopt you as a righteous daughter. It's a pity that Deng Yourong was cheaper. Although the assassins she sent were all dead, the woman was condemned. With you gone, she can play for the tiger again. ”

Song Qingsong is a person with clear grievances, if Chen Fan'er hadn't stopped him, he really wanted to assassinate this woman after recovering from his injuries.

"Acting for the tiger? Hehe, maybe it's going to be swallowed alive by a tiger. Chen Fan'er looked out the window and thought with a smile in her heart.

…………

The western part of Linhai County is a place where the wealthy live. A private residence of Deng Xingwei is also located here.

In the past two days, many civilians in the northern district have come to beat drums to complain, and the complaints are all trivial family matters, which made Deng Xingwei anxious and had to hide in a private house for a few days to clean up.

At this time, Deng Xingwei was under the gazebo in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting with Deng Yourong's parents, that is, his brother and sister-in-law.

"Let the virtuous brother worry about it, my unsuccessful daughter has really spoiled us. Hey, as a father, I'm also disappointed. Deng Xingting's face was a little haggard, his daughter had been crying and making trouble in the past two days, which was very worry-free.

"If you want to achieve great things, you can't be afraid of setbacks. Once the embroidery girl was defeated, she was negative like this, brother, you should really discipline and discipline well. ”

Although Deng Xingwei is a younger brother, he is highly respected, and the entire Deng family is almost inclined to him. Therefore, his tone of voice to his brother is occasionally a little harsh.

Mrs. Deng sat aside, and her husband was accused by her brother-in-law in person, and she was inevitably uncomfortable when she heard it. But she's a woman, so it's best not to talk at this time.

Deng Xingwei rubbed his temples, ignored his sister-in-law's face, and sighed: "I have been busy with official business recently, and a group of resentful women go to the yamen every day to complain, saying that their husbands are messing with flowers and grass outside, and they keep chattering. I also have a headache when I listen to it. ”

"I've heard Madame talk about it. I heard that there are several families in the North District who are making trouble, some of them are their husbands who went to brothels and were arrested, and some of them are found to be hiding private money, and there are all kinds of trivial things, which sounds quite bizarre. ”

Deng Xingting looked at his younger brother's poor expression, and felt even more guilty in his heart, his daughter caused chaos at such a time, and she must be strictly disciplined when she goes back!

"yes. Brother, you see that this is a heavy job, and I really don't have the energy to discipline you for you. According to me, you can take her back today. Deng Xingwei gave his subordinates a look and asked him to summon Deng Yourong.

"Yes, yes, I will take it back and discipline it strictly! Right, ma'am! Deng Xingting glared at his wife fiercely, it was this girl who spoiled her daughter.

Mrs. Deng was resentful and not easy to attack, so she hurriedly nodded yes like a chicken pecking rice.

But after a while, the next person took Deng Yourong to the pavilion. At this time, Deng Yourong's eyes were blank and her face was haggard, almost like her in the first test.

"Yourong, you're here. Are you wrong? Deng Xingwei said in the tone of an elder.

Deng Yourong stood straight and replied, "I'm not wrong." ”

"You! Girl, what do you say! Deng Xingting was shocked, how could this stupid girl dare to talk back at this time!

"Oh? You're right, good, good! Am I wrong? Deng Xingwei laughed angrily, Deng Yourong admitted his mistake in front of him two days ago, and now he regretted it in front of his parents, is this a slap in the face!

"It's just that my uncle is wrong! If the uncle is willing to say a few good words for Yourong during the retest, it will not be the turn of the person surnamed Cheng to be selected as an embroidered girl! Deng Yourong said dissatisfied.

"What kind words can I say for you?" Deng Xingwei glanced at Deng Xingting with a very bad face, and said, "Brother, you didn't see it at that time." This girl was timid before the assessment began, and then absentmindedly chose the embroidery thread, and any movement could affect her mood. And the other three people were like water from beginning to end, and they didn't move at all! ”

"It's not because you're useless, uncle, you don't even dare to sit on the main seat, and give it to a woman who has no official position!"

"Shut up, you girl is crazy! How dare you say such a tone to your uncle! Deng Xingting slapped the stone table and roared, even startling his wife.

"Father, I'm not wrong! At that time, his uncle could have sat in the main seat and invigilated the exam, but he was afraid of offending people! And my mother often told me that my uncle was a wretch who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard. Deng Yourong continued to tell the "truth".

"You!?" Deng Xingting stared at his wife in surprise.

"Yourong, what are you talking nonsense, how can I belittle your uncle behind my back." Mrs. Deng pulled Deng Yourong over in a panic.

But Deng Yourong shook her mother's hand and continued: "Mother, you are not wrong. Uncle is already very cowardly, and even this kind of powerless Cheng family woman is afraid. But it doesn't matter, I have already sent someone to kill that Cheng Fan'er, presumably she will not have a chance to enter the imperial city. ”

"What!! You still dare to assassinate the embroidered girl appointed by the imperial court, who borrowed your guts! Deng Xingwei was completely angry, and he concluded that his niece was crazy, and not only crazy, but also dragged him into the water together.

"Smack!" Deng Xingting slapped Deng Yourong hard, and his liver hurt from anger. There are two stupid women in the family, are they really going to kill themselves!

With a slap down, Deng Yourong's gaze regained some clarity. She touched her hot cheeks and asked a little aggrieved, "Father, why did you beat me?" ”

Deng Xingting was so angry that his hands trembled, and his wife was trembling with fright.

Deng Yourong noticed that the atmosphere was abnormal, but he didn't know what was going on.

"Boom" A thunder sound, which frightened the Deng family under the pavilion to the point of paleness, and they were silent, and their hearts were deeply uneasy by this thunder. (To be continued.) )
