Yuan Bao'er understood that she understood what she meant, so she pursed her mouth to look at her, but Cuixin refused to look at her.

The sumptuous dinner exceeded Yuan Baoer's expectations, and Cheng Li originally wanted to let Zhang Da's family sit down and have a lively time.

But Zhang Da and Mama Wang shirked again and again, so Cheng Li didn't force it, and only let them serve one separately and go back to enjoy it.

Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes and watched Zhang Dalang's family thank you and leave, thoughtfully.

After dinner, Yuan Baoer came to the study to find Cheng Li.

Cheng Li put down the business he was reviewing and looked at Bao'er who was sitting opposite him with a pout, "What's the matter, who made you angry?" ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, put aside the little question with Cuixin, and asked Cheng Li, "How is Mr. Qin's matter?" ”

Cheng Lidao: "Mr. Qin is alone, and there is only one old servant in his hometown, taking care of his family and nursing home. ”

"I discussed with the mountain chief, and the two of us paid for the old servant to be placed in his clan and sent him to the end of his old age."

This also completes Qin Ran's relationship with the old servant.

Yuan Bao'er lowered her eyes and looked at the official document on the case, and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, why did Cao Wei kill Mr.?" ”

Cheng Li saw that there was a sadness on her face, and couldn't help touching her head, "For personal gain." ”

Now that he is not in prison, there is no need to be taboo when he speaks, Cheng Li told her why Cao Wei killed people and his guesses.

Yuan Bao'er said: "Mr. Qin stays in the farmhouse every day, he doesn't have much friendship with others, and he has no grudges against others, why do they do harm?" ”

Cheng Li smiled faintly, "When my grandfather and you lived outside Beijing, weren't you also involved in prison?" ”

He looked at Yuan Bao'er's clear eyes and remembered her ambition.

Officialdom has never lacked darkness and sinisterness, in order to prevent his grandson from being victimized by traitors because of kindness, Cheng Li was ruthless and taught seriously, "Don't underestimate people's hearts." ”

"When there is a stake involved, the darkness and corruption in it are far deeper than you think."

"In the eyes of those people, human life may not even be a gold."

"So Bao'er, don't underestimate anyone or anything at any time," Cheng Li said: "If you have ambitions, then you must be prepared to be in the mud, and your ancestors will not be able to protect you forever." ”

Yuan Bao'er opened her mouth and closed it silently.

Her wish was to feed everyone in the world, and the land of the Qing Dynasty was controlled by family officials and wealthy families.

If the peasant family wants to live, they can only tighten their belts and work hard to be satisfied.

In the long run, her wish will inevitably not come true.

However, even if she knows the situation, she is not timid, on the contrary, she also has a sense of ambition and vows to realize her ideals.

Cheng Li saw that she was regaining her vigor, so he smiled and said, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest early." ”

"In two days, my grandfather will send you to the academy."

Yuan Bao'er was already a student of the academy, so it stands to reason that she did not need to be accompanied by her elders.

Yuan Bao'er knew that her grandfather was like this, because she was worried that the academy would talk about her because of the previous incident, and wanted to support her.

She shook her head and said seriously: "Grandfather doesn't have to worry about me, I can do it myself." ”

Cheng Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to say something.

Yuan Bao'er intercepted him and said, "Didn't you say that you want me to get ready?" ”

Cheng Li choked, shook his head with a smile, "Okay, this is going to gag me." ”

"Well, it's up to you. But let's say it first, if you are bullied, you don't have to endure it, in Kyoto, your grandfather can still hold you. ”

Cheng Li said with confidence.

He is high in the third grade, and he holds real power, and he does have this confidence.

Yuan Bao'er nodded and smiled sweetly at Cheng Li.

When she returned to the house, Cuixin had already laid out the bedding and put the stove.

Yuan Bao'er glanced at the soft collapse she laid and said in a low voice: "I'm fine here, you go back to sleep." ”

Cui Xin smiled and sighed, knowing that Yuan Bao'er was actually scared in her heart, otherwise she would not have whispered in her sleep during a nap in the afternoon.

She turned her head and pretended to be very busy going in and out, refusing to put away the bedding.

Yuan Bao'er glanced at her twice, but Cuixin never looked at her, and finally had to give up.

got into bed, and Cui Xin turned off the lights.

Yuan Bao'er moved uneasily, and after a moment the night light turned on, she breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes again.

The curtain was light and thin, with a slight glimmer of light.

Yuan Bao'er looked at the curly grass pattern on the tent, and never fell asleep.

Cui Xin slept very well, and it didn't take long for her to hear the sound of her even breathing.

Yuan Bao'er sighed softly and lifted the tent.

Seeing Cuixin sleeping on her back on the soft collapse, the thin quilt was placed on her shoulder, revealing half of her round shoulders, but she didn't notice it, obviously sleeping soundly.

Yuan Baoer tiptoed, came to her, covered the quilt for her, and then jumped back on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, and curled up in a ball.

She slept too much in the afternoon, and she was a little sleepy.

She didn't want to quarrel with Cuixin, so she thought about what her grandfather had said to her and what had happened these days.

If Cheng Li's imprisonment and the warning signs of dreams had the first impact on her life, then the unprovoked experience of imprisonment and the death of her husband made Yuan Baoer doubt human nature.

She didn't understand that Cao Wei killed Mr. Entong's reinvention for only a dozen gold, and she didn't understand how he made himself look good after killing people.

In his eyes, she and her husband seemed to be just objects at his disposal, and as long as it was beneficial to him, he could do whatever he wanted.

What is the end of human nature?

Yuan Baoer was very confused.

However, she is cheerful by nature, and she can't figure it out, so she presses it in her heart and only lives the moment well.

After resting like this for two days, Cheng Li saw that she was in a good state, so he let her go to the academy.

Because the class was in the afternoon, Zhang Dalang didn't have to pick up Cheng Li, so he could send her over.

In the classroom, Fan Li arrived early again, but this time there were two more handsome Lang Jun.

Fan Li was talking to the two of them, and when he saw Yuan Baoer coming in, he introduced him.

The young people are all Yuan Baoer's senior brothers, one is named Cui Minzhi, and the other is named Wei Tang.

Yuan Baoer respectfully saluted and reported her name.

Cui Minzhi was a lady who had been talked about by her cousin for several days, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Tang seemed to be younger, and there was still some sharpness between his eyebrows, only to see him glance at Yuan Bao'er lightly, and looked at Fan Li, "Have you passed the gentleman's level?" ”

Fan Li said yes, Wei Tang's expression immediately eased a lot.

Yuan Bao'er sighed in her heart, and said that this person's standard is quite peculiar.

Cui Minzhi smiled softly and talked about the reason why he and Wei Tang were not there before.

It turned out that the two of them were seconded by the household department before to help with the investigation.

Yuan Bao'er was a little surprised, you must know that not everyone can go to the six parts.

The two of them were still students of the academy, so they were seconded over, and they seemed to value it very much, and they wanted to stay until the two graduated, and they would join the sixth department as an errand.

This is a certain official, as a junior sister with the same ambition, Yuan Baoer feels that she must study hard with the two.

However, in the face of Wei Tang's eyes, Yuan Bao'er still flinched.

Wei Misheng's edges and corners are not like Cui Minzhi's amiable appearance, but he raises his hand, and unconsciously has the style of a noble, cold and arrogant son.
