"Du Jiulang, thank you for leaving the imminent Jingzhao Mansion test for the sake of Shiyi Lang, and came all the way to Luoyang."

The first time we met Cui in this Yongfeng house, Du Shiyi once regarded Cui Wuniang as Mrs. Zhao Guo.

Not long after meeting in Yazhai in Luoyang South City for the second time, Du Shisanniang made up her mind to stay in Luoyang because of Cui Wuniang's words, and Du Shiyi was annoyed for a while.

However, it was also the fifth lady of the Cui family who initially reminded people, and then a careful design influenced Princess Yuzhen through Cui Jiuniang, so that Lu Hong was able to get out and continue to hide in the mountains and forests. And this time, he took the exam from Luoyang to Chang'an, and he also got a lot of parting gifts from Cui Wuniang. In his impression, compared with Cui Jiuniang, who has a free temperament and is as freewheeling as Cui Jianxuan, although Cui Wuniang occasionally likes to joke, she acts calmly and capably, which can be seen from Du Sanniang's transformation.

But at this moment, seeing that the beautiful woman who used to have a little skin is now haggard, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, how can he not understand how tormented she has been these days.

Seeing Cui Wuniang saluting deeply, he almost didn't think about it, so he stood up, took a step back and said, "Wu Niangzi is serious." The Jingzhao Mansion exam is held once a year, and if you miss it this year, you will take the exam again next year. But the Cui family has encountered such a major event, and Cui Shiyi and I have a bad relationship, if I don't come knowing it, wouldn't I be sorry for my conscience? ”

The two saluted each other, and when they straightened each other's waists, they couldn't help but stare at each other's faces for a long time, and finally Cui Wuniang broke the silence for a moment.

"Eleven Lang has loved to drill the horns like this since he was a child." Referring to his younger brother who looked like a woman and acted in a big way, Cui Wuniang's face couldn't help but show a smile, "What he decided from Xiao Shilang can't be pulled back by ten horses." I think that in order to let him go to Songshan Hanging Lianfeng to study with Lu Gong, my grandmother first tried to ask for a recommendation from Master Pu Lin a year in advance, and then my mother and I didn't know how many ways to think of it, and even coaxed and deceived, so we finally sent people to Dengfeng. But if it weren't for Du Langjun, he would definitely go against the yang and the yin, let alone study in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Wuniang paused, and then said softly: "So this time Shiyi Lang thought that he killed his grandfather, and no one could persuade him to come back, so he was guarding the funeral hall with all his heart, and when he reported that Su Gui secretly left home, it should be time to go to Chang'an, I knew that he would inevitably go to Du Langjun for help, but because of his own selfishness, he didn't stop him in the end, and as a result, Du Langjun ran thousands of miles for Shiyi Lang and delayed the big event." ”

"It's too much for the fifth lady to say this. Looking at the situation just now, I'm glad I'm here, otherwise if something really happens, I'm afraid I won't regret it. Du Shiyi heard Cui Wuniang confess that he had indeed opened one eye and closed one eye and let Su Gui out, he thought about it was reasonable, and immediately smiled indifferently, "I and Shiyi Lang are brothers in the same sect, Hugh said that it is just the Jingzhao Mansion test, even if the provincial test is imminent, the matter is urgent, and it is needless to say how to choose...... Although I had a good time drinking just now, I can't say if I can make him wake up, I have to go to the funeral hall again to have a look, and I will retire first. ”

Seeing Du Shiyi arching his hand as he spoke, he immediately turned around and left, just after retiring from the maid, he quietly heard all the conversations between the two in the bushes, and Cui Wuniang, who had just appeared, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she breathed out the breath that she had been trying to carry these days, she only felt that the world was spinning in front of her, and she could no longer maintain her strong and capable image in front of people, so she sat down softly, and unconsciously burst into tears.

Since the moment of her father's death, in addition to mourning in the funeral hall, she has been struggling to suppress the grief in her heart, comforting her mother, presiding over housework, and assigning up and down, even the eldest brother and younger brother and sister, have not forgotten to explain one by one, but she has never been able to help Cui Jianxuan, who is soft and hard. Now, Cui Jianxuan is now pulled back from the edge of the cliff, and the biggest stone in her heart can be regarded as moving away, and she is worthy of her father's dying entrustment.

Du Shiyi walked to the end of the trail, and suddenly turned his heart back, but saw Cui Wuniang sitting on the ground with his head bowed in despair, and he was stunned for a moment. Looking around and seeing no one in sight, he thought about it for a while, and finally turned around and walked back, and when he was in front of Cui Wuniang, he bent down and stretched out his hand. However, finding that Ren Muran didn't react at all, he had to bend his knees and squat down, and then saw Cui Wuniang's eyes full of tears, as if there was no focus. At this time, he was suddenly taken aback when he woke up Cui Jianxuan.

That pot of water was all splashed on Cui Shiyi's face, and that set could be used for men, but he didn't dare to use it for women!

"Five ladies? Five ladies? ”

After screaming several times without a response, Du Shiyi couldn't help but reach out for a while and planned to pinch Cui Wuniang's middle man, however, her hand touched the warm nose, and Cui Wuniang came back to her senses at this moment. Between the four eyes, he took a deep breath, and then said, "It's too cold on the ground, can I help you up?" ”

"Thank you, Du Lang-kun."

Just now, Du Shiyi's fingertips had touched his own acupoint, of course Cui Wuniang knew what he was planning to do, and for a moment in his heart he was grateful and felt his weakness. At this moment, she reached out to hold his outstretched hand, trying to stand up, but her feet were weak, until Du Shiyi simply stretched out her hands to support her, she finally slowly stood firm, even retracted her hand and stroked the messy hair, bowed her head and said: "My heart is relieved, so I lost my temper for a while, thank you for reaching out to help." ”

Du Shiyi knows that the stronger a person is, the more he doesn't want people to see his weak side. However, now that the Cui family has suffered a change, Cui Gezhi's mother is sick and weak, and the sons have not yet taken charge alone, if Cui Wuniang has any mistakes because of his stubbornness, he is afraid that the family will be more chaotic, he has to whisper carefully: "At first sight, although Eleven Lang can't accept it, Wu Niangzi is not an iron person, please don't pick everything on your shoulders and blindly force yourself." For example, Eleven Lang, since he is the son of the Cui family, he has to add a little burden to him, so that he will not be bored and cranky! ”

It wasn't until Du Shiyi said this and said goodbye and left for a while that Cui Wuniang suddenly woke up. Over the years, she returned to her parents' house as a married daughter, presided over housework and filial piety to her parents to teach her younger siblings, thinking that she had fulfilled her duties as Cui's daughter, but if it was according to Du Shiyi's words, it was she who was in charge of everything and had to be strong, which made her younger brothers and sisters not only accustomed to the protection of Cui's door, but also used to finding her eldest sister for advice on everything. However, her mother is used to relying on herself, can she still withdraw?

Behind a towering tree not far away, Cui Jiuniang, who was originally leaning in and peeping, slowly retracted her body behind the tree, and then looked up at the dense shade above her head, her eyes flickering.

When Du Shiyi returned to the funeral hall again, she saw Cui Jianxuan kneeling in front of the spirit again. He thought that his hard work had not worked in the end, and he was so angry that he couldn't get worse, but suddenly he saw Cui Jianxuan leaning over and banging his head three times, and then he got up, and he actually took a deep look at Cui Chengxun and Cui Jian brothers who were also in the funeral hall.

"Brother, brother, it was all my fault before, I shouldn't just care about myself, be self-righteous, and let you worry about it. I have already sworn to my grandfather that from now on, I will definitely put my family and relatives first in everything, and I will not act impulsively again! ”

Cui Chengxun was still nervous that Cui Jianxuan left Du Shiyi to return alone, and when he heard his brother's such a loud promise, he was finally relieved. Especially when he caught a glimpse of Du Shiyi standing at the door of the funeral hall, he was even more grateful. He stepped forward and pressed Cui Jianxuan's shoulders with both hands, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, let go of his hand and threw the person to Cui Qian, who was also surprised and happy behind him, and then came to Du Shiyi, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you Du Langjun for this trip, I don't thank you for my great kindness, but it's still too late to rush back to Jingzhao Mansion at this moment, so I'll send the servants at home to prepare horses and send Du Langjun back immediately!" ”

"Of course, time is urgent, but Du Langjun rushed from Chang'an to Luoyang without sleep, if he doesn't rest, I'm afraid that even if he catches up with the Jingzhao Mansion test, it will be too much loss."

With these words, I saw Fu Yuan supporting the lady of Zhao Guo, Li, who was floating in her footsteps, to appear in front of everyone. Although her face was withered, in the face of Du Shiyi's salute, Mrs. Zhao Guo personally stepped forward to help her up with both hands, and then let go of her hand and saluted, and then said word by word: "Du Jiulang, as a mother, I can't persuade my son, but I want you to travel thousands of miles to help, I should have saluted you and thanked you." Now I can't thank you, so please rest for the night first, and then leave for home early tomorrow morning. The fourth brother has promised to send the servant to send you back with the six horses treasured in the stable. These horses are extraordinary, and the servants can arrive at Chang'an City in one day and night, and they will not delay you to take the exam! ”

Du Shiyi had already prepared to try the soup in this year's mansion, and was taken aback when he heard the words at this moment, and when he looked up, he saw Cui Taizhi and the other elders and children of the Cui family who didn't know when they had come, and he was silent for a moment and said deeply: "Thank you Madame and Cui Xianggong for your kindness, I will unceremoniously accept it!" ”

Motioning Fu Yuan to take Du Shiyi to the guest room to rest, seeing that the person gradually disappeared from sight, Mrs. Zhao Guo looked at Cui Jianxuan, who had a withered face. For this son, who has been pampering since childhood, she was silent for a long time, and finally walked slowly in front of him, and suddenly raised her hand to slap him heavily. With a snap, seeing that Cui Jianxuan's face showed a bright red slap print, she said with a pale face:

"On the day your grandfather died, I slapped you, but I couldn't wake you up, and now if it weren't for Du Jiulang, maybe the family would have been waiting to collect your body! This slap is for me to discipline you on behalf of your grandfather, Eleven Lang, you are so disappointing these days! ”

"Ah Niang ......"

Cui Jianxuan squirmed his lips, and saw Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang walking from not far away with each other, he glanced at the other elders and brothers in front of him, and lowered his head deeply for a while, his heart was full of guilt, and he couldn't say anything.
