Cao Yu didn't have a hint of joy on his face, fortunately, the person he met was Zhang Ze, if he changed someone else, he would have to see his jokes today. He apologized to Zhang Ze and his master one by one.

Zhang Ze waved his hand indifferently, put away the fan and stood up, and said calmly: "I also happened to hear the county commander reprimanded him yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have known so clearly." Brother Cao, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, but the tiger is a tiger after all, and I hope that the next time we meet, it will be in the emperor's Jinluan Palace. ”

"Definitely!"

Cao Yu said goodbye, Xiu'er also said goodbye to her master and master, and followed Cao Yu to her side.

Out of the school, Cao Yu's eyes did not leave Xiu'er's swollen cheeks for a moment.

He knew that Zhang Ze was cooperating with him in acting, but he was still distressed when he saw his sister-in-law Li being ruthless.

He wanted to touch Ling Xiu'er's face to express comfort, but he was afraid that it would hurt her, so he said worriedly: "Lady, let's go to the doctor and apply some medicine to reduce swelling and pain." ”

Ling Xiu'er shook her head, it was not the first time she had been beaten, and she was rough and thick-skinned. But Zhang Zhuangyuan's double reed with her husband opened her eyes, and she asked very excitedly: "Xianggong, how do you know that Zhang Zhuangyuan is acting with you, if he really listens to Li's words, you will suffer a big loss?" ”

Cao Yu's mind was on Ling Xiu'er's face, ignoring the curiosity on her face, and pulling in the direction of the medical hall.

"You still have to see a doctor, you don't have to worry about the silver."

Seeing that he didn't stop if he didn't achieve his goal, Ling Xiu'er rolled her eyes, grabbed Cao Yu's hand and stopped him and said, "Then let's go home, I'll apply cold water, it's much better than watching the doctor apply ointment." ”

Cao Yu knew that she was afraid of spending money, but she would not cooperate if she forcibly brought Ling Xiu'er over, so she asked, "You didn't lie to me, this method works?" ”

"It works, let's go."

Ling Xiu'er was worried that Cao Yu would regret it, so she pulled him to leave quickly, but she couldn't help but ask again on the way. She was so curious about the communication between readers.

Cao Yu looked ahead, holding Ling Xiu'er's arm with one hand, as if saying something is not a big deal, "It's nothing unusual, smart people can understand it by looking at their eyes." ”

"Then I must be a stupid one, I haven't seen it for a long time." Ling Xiu'er pouted, and her little brows furrowed, looking like she was thinking hard.

Seeing the pretense, Cao Yu pinched her little nose and said, "You are not stupid, you are innocent." ”

Ling Xiu'er thought about it and felt that "innocent" was not a bad word, and her face returned to a smile again.

The two rushed home all the way, and Cao Yu immediately fetched water from the well to cover Ling Xiu'er's face.

The face towel that was full of well water was cold, and Ling Xiu'er squinted her eyes comfortably.

Cao Liang saw the two people on the well platform in the house, and a sour breath surged in his heart inexplicably. He pouted and sat back in his chair, and the old woman Wang on the side was smoking a dry cigarette, and said unhurriedly: "The cost of grain harvest this year is not good, you don't go to the field again, wait for the New Year to be hungry." ”

Cao Liang snorted disdainfully, "The second child didn't go either, and took his daughter-in-law out for a day." Besides, didn't the Li family say that they would pay us a hundred taels, what kind of land would they go? ”

Mrs. Wang stopped talking, but Cao Li heard the two people talking outside and felt like a cat scratching, yes, he missed Li again.

Since he drove the Li family out, Cao Li felt that someone was theorizing behind his back, and it was a trivial matter to divorce his wife, but he didn't know the year of the monkey when he married another one, and the Li family did not leave him a son and a half daughter, which made Cao Yu feel that he couldn't raise his head in the village, and he didn't want to bear the name of a bachelor.

Cao Li suddenly repented, complaining that Cao Yu had asked him to divorce his wife in the first place, and completely forgot what Li had done. Looking at the loving Cao Yu couple outside the house, Cao Li's heart became more and more awkward.

He pushed the door out, his eyes almost flew into the sky, and he interrogated the two of them in a mocking manner like the head of the family, "Second brother, how many silver taels did Mr. Teacher borrow from you?" You'll have to take out half of it. "The greedy face is exactly the same as Lee's.

Ling Xiu'er was stunned when asked, she left the Li family first, and now she is here again, why is the road to the imperial examination so bitter! Without waiting for Cao Yu to answer, she took the first step to reply: "Big brother, my father-in-law is counting on this silver to get ahead, and then take half of it to confiscate it, so will this school still be examined?" ”

"I don't care, anyway, the rule of the Cao family is that half of the money in the hands of the private person must be handed over to the public middle school, second brother, can't you be the master of this money?"

Cao Li squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Yu disdainfully, laughing at Cao Yu for being a strict wife, but he forgot how cowardly he had been in front of the Li family.

Cao Yu's eyes drooped, he pulled Ling Xiu'er's hand and motioned for himself to solve it, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I will make up this money for you when the harvest in the field comes down this year." ”

"Okay, then you two don't have dinner today, and I'll make it up for you two tomorrow."

"Big brother, you!"

Ling Xiu'er wanted to reason with Cao Li, but Cao Yu grabbed her tightly and signaled her not to say any more.

Cao Li crossed his hands on his hips, tilted his head to the side arrogantly, and looked at Ling Xiu'er defiantly, he was not happy in his heart, and these two people couldn't be good!

Cao Yu lowered his head and said in his voice, "Thank you, big brother." With that, he dragged Ling Xiu'er into the house.

closed the door and looked back to see Ling Xiu'er standing in front of the bed staring at him angrily. Cao Yu smiled guiltily, not knowing where to conjure up two meat buns.

"I originally wanted to make snacks for the lady, but now it seems that I can only wronged the lady to take the buns for dinner." As she spoke, Cao Yu stuffed the bun into Ling Xiu'er's hand.

Ling Xiu'er was angry and put the bun on the table.

If it weren't for the fact that he exposed the Li family's misappropriation of the Li family's money, Cao Li would still be kept in the dark now; Cao Li not only did not thank but took revenge, it was really a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall. But what made her even more angry was Cao Yu's attitude, the money was not stolen and robbed, why not fight?

The more Ling Xiu'er thought about it, the more angry she became, she looked very cute in Cao Yu's opinion, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

was so angry that Ling Xiu'er wanted to punch him, "What's so funny, when you are bullied to death tomorrow, you will guard my grave and cry." ”

"Bah, don't say unlucky things."

Cao Yu took advantage of the situation to pull Ling Xiu'er into her arms, put her face close to her chest, stroked her long hair and slowly spoke, "It's not indisputable, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and when they get through the difficulties, I promise that I won't let you be wronged again." ”

Don't you know the face of your family, Cao Yu? It's just that he can't turn his face with Cao Liang now, in case of a fork in the imperial examination, he can go back to this home, this is not a confession, it is a strategic concession, and he has to leave a way back when he is a man and does things.

Hearing the helplessness in Cao Yu's words, Ling Xiu'er buried her head in Cao Yu's chest and said sullenly: "You must promise, I don't want to see you work so hard." ”

"Hmm."

Cao Yu hugged the person in his arms tightly, and the fragrance of Ling Xiu'er wrapped his whole person, making Cao Yu feel warm and happy.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound at the door, and then I heard Cao Liang shouting oops, and it seemed that he had been beaten.

Cao Yu was about to go out, but was pulled by Ling Xiu'er.

She glanced at Cao Yu uncompetitively, and raised her little face to block in front of him, "What are you doing in a hurry to go out?" Let's see! ”

Ling Xiu'er opened a crack in the door and saw Cao Li lying on the ground and didn't know what the injury was, and Mrs. Wang also came out of the house. And it was Li Feng, who had just come yesterday to hit people.
