"Xianggong, I ......"

"I'll do it myself, you can lie down." Cao Yu gently put Ling Xiu'er on the bed, and when she saw that her wound was oozing blood again, she carefully wiped it with a handkerchief.

Ling Xiu'er enjoyed Cao Yu's care very much, and a flush appeared on her face. She knew she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

The next day, the sky in the east had just revealed a glimmer of light, and a loud rooster crow came from the north house of Cao's house.

Ling Xiu'er was sleepy-eyed, and where did the chicken come from.

Followed by another chicken hoof, the sound was so loud that it seemed to be in the ear, which suddenly woke Ling Xiu'er up.

She sat up violently, only to hear a "flutter" and something fall to the ground.

Cao Yu next to him also sat up, and the two of them took advantage of the light of day to see a big rooster standing upright under the bed.

The red cockscomb swings with the head of the chicken, which is very beautiful, and the red and gold feathers on the whole body are matched with black tail feathers, I don't know how many times better than those bald chickens in the chicken pen.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and suddenly remembered something, Cao Yu picked up the handkerchief that wiped Ling Xiu'er's blood yesterday, and the handkerchief was as white as ever. But Ling Xiuer clearly remembered that there should be a big rooster embroidered on it, implying the title of Cao Yu's gold list.

"Xianggong, it's a handkerchief, it's a chicken on a handkerchief."

Ling Xiu'er didn't care about putting on her shoes, and held the big in her arms barefoot, which was very weighty, "Now you can make up for the husband." ”

The big rooster seemed to understand the human language, and then crowed again, and his loud voice was very moving.

Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that if you want to embroider things to come true, the key is your own blood, so if you embroider a big ingot, wouldn't you get rich.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiu'er immediately put down the chicken and went to find an embroidered handkerchief, she remembered that there was a square handkerchief embroidered with copper coins, but when she was about to bite her finger, she was stopped by Cao Yu.

Cao Yu showed Ling Xiu'er the blood-stained handkerchief on the other side, and the crane embroidered on it did not move at all, "Lady, although I don't understand why this embroidery will become a living creature dyed with your blood, but at present, it seems that this living creature is limited. ”

"In other words, if I embroider a big ingot, I can't become a big ingot."

Ling Xiu'er was a little deflated, but she was still very happy to see the rooster on the ground, it was better than nothing, people should be content and happy.

Cao Yu saw that Ling Xiu'er was happy, his eyes were full of love, he put his coat on Ling Xiu'er, "It's cold, don't be cold." ”

Ling Xiu'er grabbed the placket of her clothes, tilted her head and looked at Cao Yu, seeing that the other party's face turned red, she immediately turned her back, "Lady, let's sleep for a while, go to read early for your husband." ”

After speaking, Cao Yu neatly put on his clothes and walked out with his textbook.

He will come to the forest in the back garden every morning to read, and it is now the eighth year, so he must not miss this year's imperial examination.

Ling Xiu'er lay down in her clothes for a while, and was ready to get up to make breakfast for the family. She was getting dressed and about to go out, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, coming in through her sister-in-law's shrill voice.

"Xiu'er, you can rest this morning, I'll cook."

Is the sun coming out of the west? Ling Xiu'er couldn't believe it, opened the door, and saw that it was really her sister-in-law.

Li Shi changed her previous arrogant attitude, and tried to pretend to smile with hypocrisy, she looked into the house dishonestly, "Xiu'er, I seem to have heard a rooster crow from your room this morning." ”

Ling Xiu'er's smile froze, she knew that the Li family would not be so kind.

"Sister-in-law, you heard me wrong, how can I have chickens here?"

As soon as the words fell, a loud rooster crow sounded.

Li immediately pushed away Ling Xiu'er and rushed into the house, seeing that the eyes of the big lit up, she had never seen such a beautiful big when she was so big, it must be worth a lot of money.

"Sister-in-law!"

Seeing Ling Xiu'er coming, Li immediately picked up the big rooster, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by Ling Xiu'er, and instantly changed his face, "Okay, you cried with me yesterday, where did the big rooster come from, stolen?" ”

"No, sister-in-law, you give me back the."

Ling Xiu'er frowned unhappily, she couldn't say that this was embroidered by herself, and it would definitely be regarded as a monster.

Li didn't follow, and ran away with the rooster, "I told my mother-in-law to go." ”

It was too late for Ling Xiu'er to chase him out, so she had to go to Cao Yu, who was studying in the back garden, and tell him everything about it.

The two of them came to the main hall, but they smelled an unusual smell.

Li regained his former arrogance, standing next to Mrs. Wang and didn't know what to say, while Cao Li was studying the big rooster, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he sat on the chair with a lot of concern, and took the lead in speaking: "Second brother, this chicken, you can explain it." ”

"Big brother, there's nothing to explain, this chicken is ours."

Cao Yu is neither humble nor arrogant, his expression is serious, and there is a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.

Cao Liang teased and smiled, "I'm asking this chicken, where did it come from, did you steal it, or did your brother and sister steal it?" ”

"Not stolen."

Cao Yu was still calm, just looking at Cao Li's eyes, very unhappy.

Li interjected: "Didn't steal it or buy it?" ”

"Mother, listen, this seems to be a master with no money? Such a beautiful big costs a lot of money. Li leaned over to Mrs. Wang's side flatteringly, and continued to say: "Ling Xiu'er can sell for one or two pieces of silver with a piece of embroidery, I don't know how many good goods she has hidden, she was acting with us yesterday." ”

Mrs. Wang's wife couldn't find the north because of the Li family's flattery, and she didn't know that she was being used as a gunman, so her face sank and asked Ling Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, why didn't you confiscate the money you used to sell embroidery." ”

"Mother, I gave all the embroidery to my sister-in-law, I have no money."

Ling Xiu'er's explanation Mrs. Wang didn't listen at all, and even thought she was quibbling, "No money, where did the chicken come from?" Okay, you all lied to me one by one, it's the other way around! ”

"Bang dang!"

The only valuable porcelain teacup in the house was thrown to the ground by Mrs. Wang, and Li Cheng was terrified of making Mrs. Wang angry, which fueled her vanity.

"Boss, go to the north house to search, Qian Yi'er was hidden by the two of them."

Ling Xiu'er wanted to stop it, but was dragged by Cao Yu beside her. Seeing that Cao Yu didn't grab Ling Xiu'er's hand, he was already clenched into a fist, faintly full of anger.

Ling Xiu'er held his arm worriedly and called out "Xianggong" worriedly.

Cao Yu didn't agree, but Mrs. Wang chattered on the side, "Second child, you are still a scholar, do you have any teaching in the book to deceive your parents?" I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, just to let you hide money and cheat me, imperial examination? What a imperial examination! You don't have to go to the county school from now on, and you won't be able to pass the exam anyway, so it's better to open a school in the village to subsidize the family. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyebrows fluttered, as if this family was really her own.

It didn't take long for Cao Li to run back and throw some unfinished handkerchiefs on the ground.

Li flipped through it, there was nothing valuable, and said in disbelief: "Mother, they must hide it somewhere else, you must ask them to hand over the money." ”

"Second, where did you hide your money? All the money earned will go to the public school, do you know? ”

Mrs. Wang blew her beard and glared at Cao Yu, leaving behind all Cao Yu's contributions to the family over the years.

Cao Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them, his quiet black eyes with an irresistible majesty pressed heavily on the three of them, and Mrs. Wang's mind suddenly flashed the picture of Cao Yu coming back covered in blood when she was rushing for the exam last time. At that time, his eyes were so gloomy, and he couldn't help but drum in his heart.

"All said and done? It was my turn. ”

Cao Yu hooked her thin lips, and the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled.
