==Chapter 65==

I really can't complain that Jiu Niang is such a dog, but I see that the exam is imminent.

The time for her enrollment is really not the right time, and she has only been enrolled for less than a month, and she will face the arrival of the mid-term exam. After the ten-year exam, another month will pass, and it will be the end of the year, and then the annual exam, so I can't tolerate her not being in a hurry.

There are two others who are also anxious about her, that is Ruan Linger and Cheng Wenjing.

Ruan Ling'er has never studied well, and compared with many female students in Tai Academy, she works harder than most people, but her test scores hovered around B every time. There are many times, and Ruan Linger doesn't have any expectations for herself, anyway, she is a woman, as long as she doesn't take the final exam and doesn't make people laugh.

And Cheng Wenjingfang was not in a hurry at first, she came to Guozijian to study for an impure purpose, she never did a good job of asking questions from childhood to university, and naturally she didn't realize the strictness of it. It's just that since entering school, her relationship with Ruan Linger and Xiao Jiuniang has become better and better, and seeing the two of them working so strangely hard has also aroused her curiosity.

Under a question, Fang knew that it was strict. It turns out that there is also the saying that there is an annual exam, and that's it, and the test results will be posted, and if the results are too poor, it will attract ridicule from the students in the entire national prison.

Especially their Tai Academy, in terms of identity and family background, they are the highest among the six academies (Guozi Xue regardless of identity, only in terms of knowledge), and they can't win the test against the children or commoners of those petty officials, which is simply ridiculous and generous.

I didn't see the children of the aristocracy who were cynical on weekdays, but they were all active at this time, although they were all temporary cramming, but it was also hugging, and in the entire Tai Academy, only Cheng Wenjing could be so leisurely.

After Cheng Wenjing listened to the explanation, two words were written on her face-

Astound.

Ruan Ling'er, who was reading with her head down, couldn't help but look up and ask, "Wenjing, I remember telling you about this, is it possible that you don't remember?" ”

Cheng Wenjing had a dry expression on her face, and waved her hand, "How could it be?" I'm sure I remember. ”

In fact, only she knows in her own heart that all her thoughts are not on studying, how can she remember these 'little things'!

Cheng Wenjing's answer fooled the simple-minded Ruan Ling'er, but she didn't fool Xiao Jiuniang.

She glanced at the other party with a smile and said, "I remember that your cousin is not bad at learning, otherwise he won't be able to get into Guozi School, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him for more advice." The exam is approaching soon, so you should prepare more. ”

Yes, she could go to her cousin, so that she would have another reason to stay with him.

Cheng Wenjing's face suddenly bloomed, and she almost didn't blind Jiu Niang's eyes. Then the girl hurried away, leaving her two friends behind.

Jiuniang supports the forehead.

Well, she had good intentions, but the other party understood, but she understood crookedly, and Jiu Niang could almost predict the final result.

But after thinking about it, the Cheng family was born in Jiangmen, and maybe they didn't care too much about any knowledge.

*

In order to prepare for the mid-term exam, Jiuniang will stay in the private house for an extra hour after school every day.

For this reason, she specially reported to the Anguo Mansion, saying that it was to prepare for the mid-term examination and study her homework with Tong Yan. Jiuniang has been going out early and returning late during this time, rarely showing up in the mansion, and no one in the mansion will pay attention to her, after all, Chang'an City has had a lot of waves because of the prince's wedding, and most of the attention of the Xiao family is on this.

On this day, when he was about to leave the private house, Chang Shun led an old woman out and said that it was the person from the King of Chu to Jiuniang.

Jiuniang couldn't help but glance at the King of Chu, and when she saw that the King of Chu nodded, she didn't think much about it, and led the old woman and Xiaocui to get into the carriage back to the house.

The old woman was not very old, about fifty years old, with black hair in a bun at the back of her head, and her appearance was a little stern and unsmiling. But looking at her neat dress, straight sitting posture and walking posture, Jiu Niang knew that this old woman was not simple.

Sure enough, after getting in the car, I asked, this old woman came out of the palace.

When the palace people in the palace reach their age, they are generally released from the palace and return to their hometown. Of course, if you are lonely and have no family, you can always stay in the palace and serve. These old palace people who have been in the palace for almost all their lives, as long as they are not too dull, most of them will have a few good skills.

This is the case with Mama Yu, who is the best at recuperating for women. However, after leaving the palace, you can't call Mama, Mama is just a name for some old palace people in the palace, and you should be called Aunt Yu after leaving the palace.

Jiuniang didn't ask much, she only knew where Aunt Yu came from, but she didn't know why Aunt Yu came this time. The person was given by the king of Chu, and she was relieved to use it boldly, so as not to harm her.

Jiuniang directly led Aunt Yu back to Cuiyun Pavilion.

Her status in the Anguo Mansion is not low now, and no one will say anything when she brings an old woman back, so let Lianzhi report to the Cui family tomorrow, anyway, if you change the food, clothing, and living in the moon, the silver is under the control of Jiuniang, and you don't need the Anguo Mansion to issue the moonsilver.

Now there are a lot of maids in Cuiyun Pavilion, but there is one less servant in charge, in the past, it was to let the lotus branch take care of it, this time Aunt Yu came just right, and Jiuniang placed her on the servant in charge.

After talking about the situation to Lianzhi, Aunt Yu was led down by the maidservant to settle down. As soon as Jiu Niang sat down on the soft couch, Xiao Jiu'er ran quickly to her, arched at her feet to express her affection for a while, and then jumped on Jiu Niang's knees.

It was rubbing and licking, and the little tail was wagging vigorously.

Jiuniang couldn't help laughing, picked it up and kissed it, "Jiujiu misses me, doesn't you, I miss you too." ”

Since she went to school in Guozijian, she has rarely been seen on drinking days, and she is the only one who can be coquettish and roll around at night after she leaves school. At the beginning of the first year, I was not used to drinking, and I always made a fuss about Lianzhi and others looking for Jiuniang. After a long time, it seems that I understand, but I don't make a fuss anymore, it's just that Jiuniang is very sticky.

Jiu Niang played with wine and wine for a while, then went to change the clothes she wore at home, and then dinner was also brought back, and Jiu Niang started to eat after cleaning her hands.

was using it, there seemed to be someone outside the door, and the lotus branch went out, and when he turned around, his face was a little solemn.

She whispered a few words in Jiu Niang's ear.

Jiuniang was so shocked that she didn't even realize that the silver chopsticks in her hand fell.

Han Yunniang is actually dead?!

*

After a big circle, things are back to their original trajectory.

However, in this life, because Jiu Niang has not relaxed to buy people in the Anguo Mansion, she knows more in detail.

Han Yunniang is dead.

He did not die of illness, but he hanged himself from the bedpost.

Maybe it's because she has had pity for this woman for two lifetimes, or maybe it's because of Xiao Shi Niang's relationship, after Jiu Niang heard the news, she felt emotional and a little chilled.

It's not unheard of someone who committed suicide by hanging a beam, but what kind of situation should it be like to hang himself on a bed post?

After hearing the news, Jiu Niang seemed to have nothing unusual on the surface, but in fact, she had been uncomfortable in her heart, and when she rested at night, she couldn't help but look at the pillar of the bed.

She really couldn't imagine the tragic situation at that time, but she could imagine that it was probably because Han Yunniang was so sick that she couldn't get up and had no strength, so she could only choose such a way to seek death.

But what about Xiao Yu? Did Han Yunniang take into account her daughter's mood, what kind of mentality would Xiao Yu have when she faced such a tragic death of her mother......

After lying down, Jiu Niang kept tossing and turning, and the little wine that was lying on her quilt thought that Jiu Niang was playing with herself, and she was happily drilling around in the quilt, otherwise she was turning her belly to make a cute look.

Jiuniang was in a depressed mood, but when she saw this, she was not bored, so she dragged it over and hugged it into her arms and rubbed it.

It's better to think less about other people's affairs, so as not to spoil your mood.

said so, I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart, so much so that when I went to the private house the next day, I was seen by the king of Chu.

"What's wrong?" King Chu asked with his eyebrows raised.

Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, and realized that her love was wrong, but she still shook her head, "It's nothing." ”

It's just that this statement obviously can't be accepted by the King of Chu, he closed the book in front of him, and his inky pupils stared at Jiuniang.

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

Jiu Niang didn't expect King Chu to be able to see that since she had been soaking in the river for a long time that day, Jiu Niang's body was not as good as before. Not to mention that he was as strong as a cow before, and he rarely got sick. But since that time, it seems that the root of the disease has fallen, and although it has been recuperated later, it has become less physical.

As long as you don't sleep well enough at night, you can see it from your face the next day. But this so-called see-out can only be discovered by people who are extremely close, such as Lianzhi and others who always follow Jiu Niang. This is also the reason why Jiu Niang was surprised, she didn't expect King Chu to be so careful.

I can't hide it if I want to, Xiaocui and Xiaocan are serving by her side, and when I got up this morning, Lianzhi saw Jiu Niang's face pale, and said one more thing, otherwise I wouldn't go to school today. So Jiu Niang didn't think about hiding it from King Chu, but nodded.

The king of Chu did not speak, waiting for the following.

For a while, Jiu Niang didn't know how to talk about it, and after thinking about it in her heart for a while, she intermittently told the king of Chu the ins and outs of the matter. This naturally includes all kinds of things between her and Xiao Yu, from the initial hostility to the later alliance to the rebellion, all the way to Han Yunniang's death.

"But she turned her back on you, why do you think so much."

The words of the King of Chu seem to be ruthless, but in fact, he is telling the truth, and Jiu Niang also understands it, she understands the truth. Regardless of whether she sympathizes with Xiao Yu or not, how Xiao Yu expresses herself in the future, and whether she will come back to her again, neither of them can go back to before, and if they turn their backs, they will turn their backs.

It's just that after all, I will feel uncomfortable, which has nothing to do with reason, and has nothing to do with whether or not I turn my back, it's just a feeling.

Jiuniang rubbed her cheeks irritably, looking a little pitiful, "Cousin, you understand what you said about Jiuniang, I just feel a little bored in my heart, and tomorrow will be fine." ”

"Don't let Xiao Cui leave her side, if there is something to let her inform this king."

"Hmm."

King Chu glanced at her pale face, and thought to himself, she was probably afraid, no matter how smart she was, she was still young after all.

But what did the man's tragic death remind her of?

can't help but think that her own mother seems to have died at the hands of her mother-in-law, the county lord of Chaoxia, although it is not direct, but it is also inevitably related.

King Chu's face couldn't help but soften, and after thinking about it, he said, "You avoid her first, and if you have the right opportunity in the future, this king will help you get rid of her." ”

One sentence solved her, so that the king of Chu spoke very naturally, without the consciousness of the other party who was also the daughter of his aunt and his cousin.

So Jiuniang was a little surprised, because even if she had done so many things for the king of Chu in her previous life, the king of Chu had never said such a thing.

"Cousin—"

"Even if you didn't rest well yesterday, go back first today, and I'll ask Chang Shun to ask someone to prepare a car to send you back."

Jiu Niang nodded, hiding the waves in her eyes.
