Chapter 11 Don't Hide It from Your Lady
Cao Yu and Ling Xiu'er sat on the wooden benches in the back room, looking at Wang and Cao Li, who were sitting on both sides of the square table with an inquiring attitude.
Wang raised his hand and "snapped", hitting Zhuo's face, his wrinkled face frowned, and a mean lip made a sharp voice, "Second brother, when did you deal with the county commander's son, how did I not know?" ”
Cao Liang glanced at the Wang family next to him, and said with a displeased expression: "Cao Yu, the eldest brother treats you well, you know such a noble person, how can you not know to lift the eldest brother?"
After Huang Shouren left, all the neighbors came forward to scold Cao Yu, he was inferior to Cao Yu in terms of appearance and intelligence, and now Cao Yu was treated respectfully by the official family, and the impressive looks of the neighborhood all stimulated him.
Cao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Wang, "Mother, Huang Gongzi and I are just nodding friends, and I don't have to worry about who my son deals with." Saying that, he turned his eyes and looked at Cao Li, "Big brother knows how to treat me, people who read don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice, if big brother wants to take a shortcut, don't involve me." ”
Wang and Cao Liang were choked, and the two looked at each other and closed their mouths.
Ling Xiu'er rubbed the hem of her coarse clothes, this Wang family and Cao Li had already separated from them, and they were only thinking about scraping oil and water from their husbands, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for Cao Yu, she reached out and grabbed Cao Yu's blue sleeves.
Cao Yu tilted his head, only to see Ling Xiu'er covering the wound between his forehead and rubbing it, he frowned, and hurriedly supported Ling Xiu'er, "Headache?" ”
Ling Xiu'er opened her eyes, nodded, and said softly: "It's a little dizzy, but it's okay." ”
It's no big deal, but it's a big problem, Cao Yu got up with Ling Xiu'er in her arms, and said: "Mother, big brother, Xiu'er is not feeling well, let's go back to the house first." After speaking, he left the house without waiting for the two to respond.
The disgust in Cao Li's eyes became even stronger, and he blurted out when he thought about the words, "Mother, the second child is becoming more and more presumptuous!" ”
Wang didn't answer, glanced at Cao Li, and said dissatisfiedly: "The good things your daughter-in-law did, wronged Xiu'er who harmed Xiu'er to die Mingzhi, and still want the second child to give you a good face?" ”
Cao Liang glanced at the door, poured a cup of tea and poured it into his stomach.
Cao Yu helped Ling Xiu'er back to the room, and as soon as he plugged in the door, he saw Ling Xiu'er put down the hand on his forehead, and he immediately laughed out loud when he lost his previous uncomfortable appearance.
"The lady's play hides her husband." As he spoke, his eyes were full of distress, he took Ling Xiu'er's hand and held her in his arms, gently stroked Ling Xiu'er's injured forehead with his big hand, and said softly: "Does it still hurt?" ”
Ling Xiu'er looked at Cao Yu's eyes, shook her head, and pressed it on his chest, "I don't hurt anymore, but I feel a little sorry for you."
"It's okay, with this beautiful wife, this life is enough." His chin rested lightly on the top of Ling Xiu'er's soft hair,
Ling Xiu'er blushed and pushed Cao Yu away, she has been married for so long, and her husband says some love words every day, which should be used to it, but the little woman's temperament will still blush.
She walked to the wooden bed and sat down without looking at Cao Yu, and said to herself: "Obviously a scholar, but he talks flatteringly all day long, and he is not ashamed." ”
Cao Yu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, reaching out and pinching her cheek, "Everything is true." ”
Ling Xiu'er lay in the man's arms, playing with his fingers, looked at Cao Yu suspiciously with round eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Look at which Huang Gongzi is respectful to you today, why?" I really haven't seen you have a relationship with him in the past. ”
"I used to discuss the problems in the books in the school, and I just talked about it." His eyes were low, light and dark, and he let Ling Xiu'er fiddle with his fingers, "Xu said hello in the teacher's face." ”
Huang Shouren's attitude is obviously abnormal, and this guy is clearly lying.
She left Cao Yu's arms, sat up, her eyes were dissatisfied, and she pursed her lips, "Hmph, have you also learned the deceitful words of the Li sisters and brothers?" Saying that, she sat upright, raised her head and hugged her chest and didn't look at Cao Yu, her words were displeased, "How can Huang Gongzi also be the son of the county commander, and everyone in the town knows his martial arts and prestige, how can he be so polite for no reason?" You even hide it from me? ”
Cao Yu pulled Ling Xiu'er's arm, looked at her with a pair of clear eyes, and sighed, "It's wrong for the husband, you shouldn't hide it from the lady." But he spoke no more.
He stood up and walked through the curtain to the table where the embroidery was placed, picked up a piece of cloth on the table, and changed the subject, "Lady, do you want to try to embroider the big white goose again tomorrow?" His gaze shifted to the pretty outside the window.
The rooster outside the house seemed to understand, "Oh oh oh~" and crowed brightly.
Ling Xiu'er, who was sitting on the bed, glared at Cao Yu, strode up from the bed and came to Cao Yu, grabbed his sleeve, and her eyes were extremely resentful.
"You don't have to play a big with me here! Do you know you shouldn't hide it from me and tell me the truth? ”
Cao Yu put the cloth back on the table, looking out of the window with dark eyes, he wanted to wait for this time to be pressed in his heart for a lifetime, but Huang Shouren appeared by himself, his attitude was indeed suspicious, Ling Xiu'er also broke the casserole and asked the end, husband and wife should not hide from each other.
He lowered his head, as if he had made some important decision, and he turned around to take the bookshelf, and Ling Xiu'er followed his footsteps.
Cao Yu moved the bookcase away, and when he touched a bump in the earthen wall, he raised his hand to take the protruding head off the wall and took out a brocade box from the wall.
He walked up to Ling Xiu'er with the brocade box and handed it to her.
Ling Xiu'er was stunned, she never knew when something was hidden behind the bookshelf, she took the box in a daze, and saw a copper lock on the opening of the box, Cao Yu took the key to open the box, and when she lifted the lid, she saw a sealed envelope and regulations placed in the brocade box.
She reached out and took out the envelope from the brocade box, carefully opened the beeswax sealed on the letterhead, pulled out the letterhead, opened it, and saw that it was printed with a bright red county order seal, and the words were not black ink, but human blood, which was a blood letter.
Looking at the handwriting on it, the sentences were amazing, she thought that she had failed to get a good reputation, but her husband had missed, but she didn't want to have so many shady scenes!
Ling Xiu'er looked at Cao Yu with red eyes, and her voice trembled: "Why didn't you say it to me before?" And how did this blood letter get to you? ”
"I don't want you to worry, things are not glorious, I said that I am afraid that you will dislike me."
He raised his hand to wipe the tears that fell on Ling Xiu'er's face, not only was he distressed, he didn't want her to be wronged, but now she was deceived by the Li family by doing embroidery all day long, and was framed by the Li family to prove her innocence, and she cried again at the moment, Cao Yu's eyes were full of distress.
Ling Xiu'er dodged his hand, and with a crying voice, she whispered: "Those who are excellent in reading in this county will be..." Before he finished speaking, his tear-stained lips only felt cold, Cao Yu's handsome face magnified, and the words that came to his mouth were instantly suffocated back into his stomach.
