In the blink of an eye, it was night.

At the third watch, the night was dark, and the entire Qingshui Village fell asleep deeply, only a vigorous black shadow moved and jumped in the shadow of the moonlight, and then disappeared into the wall of the Wang's courtyard in the southwest corner of the village.

"Fourth master, a total of twelve secret guards have been sent by the cabinet this time, and all of them have arrived in Yangzhou City, and their subordinates have ordered them to stay put." In the east wing where Jiang Qingliu lived, a man dressed in black was respectfully reporting to him.

"Well, you can take half of the people to Yangzhou City to arrange it first, and leave half of the people to guard here secretly. When action is needed, I will send someone to you for the message. Jiang Qingliu said again: "I already have eyebrows in my heart about this assassination, and all your actions must be concealed, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will take their leave." The man in black responded. Seeing a flower in front of him, he had quietly escaped from the window, and his trace was difficult to identify.

After about ten days like this, Jiang Qingliu's injuries were already well, and he often walked around the courtyard, and gradually became familiar with the people of the Wang family. He was originally a dragon and phoenix among people, which attracted admiration, and he was not half arrogant and self-contained when he got along with the Wang family, but was kind and gentle, and had an excellent attitude, which soon captured the hearts of the Wang family.

Wang Mu once encountered something he didn't understand when he was studying, Jiang Qingliu gave him some guidance, and then Wang Mu often went to him for advice, and when he mentioned him to Wang Jin, he was not called Jiang Gongzi, but Jiang Da Ge. There was some cordiality and admiration in his always serious tone, which made Wang Jian very jealous, and said to his younger brother dissatisfiedly, I also taught you to read, why don't you respect me so much? Wang Mu rolled his eyes and said in his heart, it's hard to say who will teach whom.

And the reason why Wang Shi and Wang Tang like Jiang Qingliu is simpler, it turns out that Qin Ziming went to the city again, and when he came back, he brought a lot of gadgets and snacks, Jiang Qingliu sent a little bit a day, and coaxed them to ask where Brother Jiang was when they got up every day, and I wanted to play with him.

Chen also praised Wang Jian in private for his polite manners, obviously he is the son of everyone but not arrogant, and he can respect ordinary farmers like her family, which is really extraordinary.

Wang Jin pouted, and was very resentful of Jiang Qingliu in his heart. Before he came, she was the center of the whole family, Wang Mu would definitely consult her first if he had a problem, Wang Shi and Wang Tang needless to say, they loved pestering her since they were children, and the Chen family praised her the most as a capable daughter. It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!

Jiang Qingliu, who was drinking the last dose of medicine in the room, suddenly sneezed, and Qin Ziming smiled and said, "Isn't someone talking about Gongzi?" ”

Jiang Qingliu glanced at him, ignored him, and drank the medicine in one go.

Min Chong on the side said: "Childe, now that your injuries have healed, are we going to leave, Yangzhou City is ready, just waiting for you to go." ”

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow, you guys pack up." Jiang Qingliu said, then got up and went out the door, walking to the backyard.

Wang Jin and Chen were picking vegetables in the backyard while discussing cotton planting. Jiang Qingliu heard Wang Jin's clear and sweet voice and said: "Mother, in the past few days, I will ask the people in the village to turn over the cotton field again, turn it deeper, and it will be easier when the seedlings appear, and then apply some fertilizer to nourish the land." I'm probably going to be busy these days, but it's hard for my mother to take care of my younger siblings alone. ”

Listening to Wang Jin's voice, Jiang Qingliu's footsteps couldn't help but stop, he had come to bid farewell to Chen and Wang Jin, but he was a little hesitant at this time. In the future, will you not be able to hear such a pleasant voice, will you not be able to eat the meals she has carefully prepared, and will you never see this smart and kind little girl again?

Jiang Qingliu felt a little stuffy in his chest, but he had always been self-disciplined and never changed things in his plan easily, not to mention that he had important things to do when he came to Yangzhou City this time, so he no longer hesitated and followed the voice.

Chen immediately greeted him warmly, and Wang Jin nodded at him. Jiang Qingliu moved a stool to sit on the side, stretched out his hand to help them pick vegetables, but was stopped by Chen in a hurry, he didn't insist, and after a few words of greeting, he explained his intention.

"Thanks to the care of Aunt Wang and Miss Wang in the past few days, now that the younger generation has recovered, it is not good to stay longer, and I will leave tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow? Why is it in such a hurry? Don't stay two more days? There was some reluctance in Chen's tone.

Wang Jin was shocked at first, and then happy in his heart, and said: "Mother, Jiang Gongzi must have serious things to do when he comes to Yangzhou, and now that he is sick, he is naturally in a hurry to rush over, how can we drag others." ”

Strange to say, at the beginning, when she took them in, although it was out of repayment, Chen still had some worries in her heart, after all, she was a widow with several children, and she always felt that it was a little inappropriate to take in these foreign men. Now they see that Jiang Qingliu is pleasing to the eye everywhere, and he can teach his eldest son to read, and he is willing to coax the two naughty eggs at home, and the entourage around them always helps them work, and they are diligent in carrying water and chopping firewood every day. If this is gone, I'm afraid the children will be reluctant.

However, Chen didn't say anything after all, she followed Wang Jin's words and said to Jiang Qingliu: "Since you have something to do, then hurry up, my aunt will not delay you, and I will make a good meal for you in the evening." ”

"Thank you, Auntie. The younger generation is grateful to the Wang family for being kind enough to take care of them this time, and they are grateful, and if there is a place where I need help in the future, I hope that my aunt will not be polite, and the younger generation will do their best to repay their kindness. Jiang Qingliu said and bowed deeply to Chen and Wang Jin.

Chen Shi was startled, quickly stood up and helped him up, and said again and again: "Jiang Gongzi, what are you doing, where does the eldest lady deserve such a heavy gift from you, hurry up." ”

Wang Jin knew in her heart that Jiang Qingliu's words just now were for her, after all, she had a life-saving grace for him. Although she was relieved of this gift, she wanted to do something else with these kindnesses, so she also got up and said to Jiang Qingliu: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, give people roses to leave a lingering fragrance, not to mention that Jiang Gongzi is kind to me first, and my family is just repaying the favor." But I want to go into the city tomorrow, and I don't know if Childe can give me a ride. ”

Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Jin'er, are you going to the city too?" ”

"Yes, mother, I'm going to buy cotton seeds, I have to pick them carefully." Wang Jin replied, and looked at Jiang Qingliu again.

Jiang Qingliu's heart jumped and said, "Of course you can, then let's leave tomorrow after breakfast." ”

Wang Jian nodded, thanked him again, and Jiang Qingliu went back to the wing.

The dinner was very hearty, Wang Jin specially changed some fish and shrimp from the villagers' houses, made steamed fish, jade shrimp balls, and a few home-cooked dishes, which can be regarded as chicken, duck and fish. She deliberately brought all the dishes to the dining room, invited Jiang Qingliu and the whole family to sit around a table, and prepared some wine, saying that it was for them to practice. The atmosphere of this meal was excellent, there were children talking childishly, Qin Ziming was joking and funny, Wang Jin was icing on the cake, and he ate until the twilight was getting deeper.

After nightfall, everyone washed and rested, but Jiang Qingliu lay on the couch but couldn't sleep. Since taking over the housework, he has become more and more introverted and cold, even if he encounters any problems, he just frowns and thinks carefully about the way, and rarely has such a feeling of restlessness. He couldn't sleep after tossing and turning like this, so he simply got up in his clothes, pushed the window in front of the couch open for a few minutes, and admired the moon.

Today is the moon and a half, the big round moon hangs on the branches of the sky, illuminating the shadows of the trees in the yard, and the sound of insects can be faintly heard. I saw that the window on the left side of the west wing room was also open to one side, and Wang Jian was standing by the window wearing only a plain white shirt, with long black hair softly draped over his chest, and he was also looking up at the moon. It's just that her expression was sad, her eyes flashed with water, and her green white jade hand on the edge of the window was clenched into a fist, seeing Jiang Qingliu's heart hurt, she couldn't help but want to comfort her. At the thought of it, he was shocked, and said to himself what was wrong, how could he have such a ridiculous idea. He was shocked by his reaction, and quickly closed the window, not daring to look again, feeling that he had never been so embarrassed since he was a child.

And Wang Jin couldn't sleep tonight thinking about entering the city tomorrow, so he opened the window to breathe. It's just that this full moon reminded her of her father's thoughts, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of going to the city tomorrow. She remembered the shock and pain when she heard the news of her father's death, the grief and pain when she knew that the bones were hard to find, and some strange things before, and she hated to go into the city immediately to ask those people for clarification, but she did not dare to leave her mother and younger siblings alone. She can only endure for the time being, one day, she will definitely find out the truth and make those who hurt her father pay! The road will be difficult, but she believes that she can definitely do it, and it was the first time she killed someone when she saved Jiang Qingliu that day, and although she had a nightmare on the day she came back, she recovered the next day. The tears in her eyes gradually dissipated, revealing a bit of resoluteness, and she whispered to the moon: "Father, I will take care of your mother and younger siblings for you, and I will also find out the murderer of you, so that he will pay for your blood debt!" ”
