Chapter 271: Break Free from the Shackles

"Major General Fu is also there?" Cheng Yujiao smiled and started a round.

When Fu Lingyun saw Cheng Yujiao coming, his face softened, and he arched his hand: "The minister has seen the queen's mother!" ”

Cheng Yujiao hurriedly asked him to get up, looked at the seat, and then asked Mingzong with a smile: "Long live, now that the ** case has been solved, and the first male and female scientific examination is here, long live what is this for, furious?" ”

Mingzong was in a bad mood, so he didn't turn back, but said coldly: "What is the matter with the queen coming to me?" If there is nothing important, step down! ”

Cheng Yujiao touched a nail, her face stiffened, and she was speechless for a while.

When Fu Lingyun heard this, his face became more and more ugly, so he gave his hand: "Long live if there is nothing else to do, please forgive the minister to retire first." After speaking, he left on his own without waiting for Mingzong to speak.

Mingzong turned around and looked at his figure, his face was full of anger, Cheng Yujiao stepped forward softly to comfort him: "Long live, General Fu is an upright ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mingzong.

"If the queen is fine, she should step back first!"

Cheng Yujiao was so embarrassed that she had to retreat.

Back in the general's mansion, Fu Lingyun took a few deep breaths at the gate of Yusheng Garden, changed into a light and breezy appearance, and then raised his legs and walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Chu Qingruo was sitting on a small pestle, seemingly looking at Fu Tieyi shaking his head and carrying a book, but in fact, his eyes were blank and he didn't know what he was thinking.

During these days, she dreamed every night that Bai Lisheng was spitting blood in front of her, and every time she dreamed of the moment he breathed, she woke up crying from her dream. After waking up, she is often so distracted and in a daze, but no one knows what she is thinking, and she doesn't know how to persuade her.

Fu Lingyun, who was awakened from her dream by her crying every day, had to hug her and pat her on the back, and the two hugged each other like this until dawn.

"Qingruo!" Fu Lingyun saw that she was like this again, and there was a throbbing pain in her heart for no reason, but she still smiled and called her softly.

Chu Qingruo woke up from a dream, suddenly looked back, and saw the gate of the courtyard, under the semicircular arch, on the forest path surrounded by green bamboos, there was a slender and tall man, although he was fierce and cold, but he was trying to make himself look more gentle and soft.

"Long live today announced in the court that this year's scientific expedition will start next month." Fu Lingyun picked up Fu Tieyi, who was flying towards him, strode into the courtyard, and told her in advance about the good news that had not yet been announced to the world.

His wife can be regarded as a real ten-year hard study, just waiting for a student who is famous all over the world. Especially this year, the opening of the women's examination has made her see a different hope.

He wants her to be a happy person, and he is willing to support her no matter what she wants to do, as long as she is happy.

Sure enough, when Chu Qingruo heard the news, he jumped up from the pestle in surprise, ran over like a child, took his hand and kept asking, "Really?" What does Banzai say? ”

I asked excitedly, swept away the haze of the past few days, and restored the joy of the past.

At this moment, Fu Lingyun was secretly grateful to Mingzong in his heart, if he hadn't set the day for the scientific expedition, he really didn't know what to make her happy. For this sake, I won't care about what happened just now.

Chu Qingruo, who was excited, ran into the study like a happy bird.

But when she saw the piano and a scroll of paintings standing in the corner of the study, her figure paused slightly, and the smile on her face was put away a little.

After hesitating and hesitating for a long time, Chu Qingruo slowly walked to the piano as if he had mustered up enough courage. Stretching out her hand, she gently stroked the strings on the piano, and then she slowly opened the scroll on the side.

In the painting, a man is dressed in a light green scholarly robe, his eyebrows and eyes are full of gentleness, his eyes are full of peach blossoms, and the corners of his mouth are smiling and two intoxicating pear vortices.

Chu Qingruo looked at the person in the portrait and said softly: "You are a person, you are forcing me to the end. At first, you forcibly kidnapped me, and even kidnapped Ah Mao to blackmail me to stay with you, and pestered me like a scoundrel to ask me to give birth to a child for you.

I couldn't give birth to a turnip, and you threatened me not to die. You said that if I die, you will abuse the radish, hehe, you are really bad.

In the Poplar Inn, you forced me to be cornered, broken jars, but you became a good person, just like that...... Spare me. Bailisheng, such a you, I really should hate you! I should hate you! ”

Speaking of this, Chu Qingruo's tears flowed down again, and he couldn't cry: "But, you are so bad and damned, but I don't know why, so I can't hate it and can't hate it." However, I'm sorry Bailisheng, there are still many things I want to do, and now I don't have time, and I can't waste time remembering you.

Maybe, one day, when I'm dying, maybe I'll think of you once in a while, but...... Not now! It can't be now! ”

After speaking, she wiped away her tears, took one last look at the man in the portrait, looked at her affectionately, slowly put away the scroll, and put it into an empty wooden box together with the piano, gently closed the lid and locked it.

The people are gone, but the living will continue to live.

But in any case, she owes him a word: goodbye.

Holding the key in his hand, Chu Qingruo, who looked sad, walked to the lake in the general's mansion, waved it vigorously, and threw the key into the lake.

Goodbye, Bailisheng, thank you for loving me so hard. May you and I not see each other again in the next life, and we will not be entangled again.

The brass-colored key, under the blue sky, drew a golden arc, fell into the water, and after a circle of turquoise ripples, it gradually sank into the lake and disappeared again.

After throwing away the key, Chu Qingruo breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had removed the shackles weighing a thousand catties, and his whole body was a lot more relaxed. Clapped his hands and turned to leave.

In the woods on the other side of the lake, Fu Lingyun's figure was hidden behind a tree, panting heavily.

He knew that his little man was strong, and after all, he had walked out of the net that the man had planted on her heart, the net that trapped her. He also knew that from now on, his little man would spread his wings and fly, and he would no longer be the little woman hiding under his wings in Ping'an Town.

Go, if she wants to spread her wings and soar, then he will be her wings and send her to the sky!

*

Chu Qingruo, who broke free from the shackles, in the following days, was like a reborn Vermilion Bird, and he enthusiastically and actively devoted himself to preparing for the exam. She is full of energy, reading day and night, and she almost has no head hanging beam, and she has a cone piercing stock.

Finally, in her diligent efforts, the golden gong of the first women's scientific examination sounded.

On the day of the exam, the Fu family and the whole family went out together to send the female student who was taking the exam to the door of the examination room.

"Mother, will you really become a female champion?"

After getting out of the carriage, Baicao, who was obediently held in his hand by Fu Tieyi, looked at Chu Qingruo with admiration and asked.

Xu Can, who got out of the carriage with him, hurriedly replied: "My mother said that the young lady ate the osmanthus cake and zongzi made by my mother this morning, and she will definitely go to high school." ”

Chu Qingruo, who was already carrying his bags and standing under the carriage, squatted down with a smile, pinched the faces of the three little ghosts, and nodded confidently: "Yes, after eating Zhou's mother's 'cake dumplings', I will definitely go to high school." ”

"Hahaha, I'm still worried that you don't have confidence, so I'm here to cheer you up! It seems that it is not necessary. ”

When everyone heard the sound, they turned their eyes and saw Mingzong, dressed as an ordinary scholar, shaking his peach blossom water fan, swaggering over, followed by Gonggong Xu, who was dressed as an old slave.

As soon as everyone in the Fu family wanted to kneel down and salute, they were stopped by Mingzong raising a fan: "Don't make a noise, don't be polite." ”

Everyone had to give up: "Yes." ”

Chu Qingruo was overjoyed: "Thank you, brother, for coming to cheer for Qingruo." ”

Mingzong smiled: "Well, you are so confident, I, cough, I am relieved." ”

"Alright, the hour has come, let's go inside!" Coldly, Fu Lingyun, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation between Mingzong and Chu Qingruo, urging her to hurry up and enter the examination room.

"Stuffy gourd, there is still some time, what are you urging?" Mingzong was not happy, he had just arrived, and after saying two words, he was flooded with vinegar!

Fu Lingyun remembered what happened in the imperial study that day, and he was in a particularly bad mood, looking at the bastard more and more unpleasant: "Huang Gongzi doesn't need to rush to the exam, he doesn't know the rules of the exam room, if the time is over, the exam room will be closed, and he will have to wait for three years!" ”

Mingzong's face stiffened, so serious?

Chu Qingruo looked at these two monarchs and ministers from small fights to big ones with a smile, and hurriedly played a round: "Hey, didn't Sister Cheng come?" ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as these words came out, the faces of Mingzong and Gonggong Xu changed.

Gonggong Xu is an old man who has served three generations of emperors, a human spirit, when he saw Mingzong's face change, he hurriedly haha: "Mrs. Fu, the time has come, come into the examination room!" ”

Chu Qingruo also sensed that Mingzong was wrong, but the exam was imminent, so he really couldn't ask a few more words in the delay, so he had to smile and wave goodbye to everyone and walk into the examination room. But I had doubts in my heart, I don't know what happened to my brother and Sister Cheng?

After being inspected by the female soldiers, Chu Qingruo smoothly walked into the examination room, found his examination room, and went in.

I saw a small semi-open room with three walls and a desk, and next to the wall was the bed she had slept on for the past few days, and on it was covered with some hay, which was considered a mattress. In one corner of the room, there was a brand new commode.

It seems that in the next few days, his own eating, drinking, and Lazar will be in this room, no wonder Wen Yuan wants to bring a futon by himself, sure enough, it is the experience of the people who came over, this futon can come in handy.

After putting down the salute in his hand, he heard a commotion not far away, and several soldiers hurriedly ran over from the entrance of the examination room.

"Lord Qiyu, some students have reported that there seems to be someone in the examination room who is carrying a small bamboo tube and trying to cheat!"

"What, that's okay? Arrest the suspect and get him out of the exam room! The invigilator's voice sounded not far away from Li Chuqingruo.

Chu Qingruo couldn't help but be curious, poked her head out to take a look, and saw a female soldier handing a small bamboo tube with a finger length to an invigilator wearing an indigo official uniform and a black veil. The invigilator opened the small bamboo tube, and there was a small note full of words written on it!
