Chapter 280: Two Years of Defense

Without waiting for anyone to approach, Yu Jiao turned around and entered the courtyard, closing the courtyard door with a very light movement.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yu Jiao saw one of the faces clearly through the crack in the door, it was actually Chen Zhiqing.

The other people are Chen Gensheng, Chen Genfu and Chen Qin.

When they walked in front of the Yu family, their steps were significantly quickened, and they carefully glanced at the door of the Yu family's courtyard.

When Yu Jiao looked at them, she alertly withdrew her gaze and moved away from the crack in the door.

She didn't see what the Chen family was carrying, but Chen Gensheng and the others were carrying shovels, shovels and other objects in their hands, as if they were going to dig something.

The footsteps faded away, Yu Jiao didn't go out to snoop again, and sat in the courtyard for nearly half an hour, just when Yu Jiao was about to fall asleep with her cheeks on her cheeks, there was movement outside the door.

She leaned on the crack of the door and quietly looked outside, the people of the Chen family had returned, and this time the things she was carrying in her hands were gone.

Maybe not to dig something, but to bury it.

Yu Jiao thought.

The footsteps were far away, and she hammered her numb leg and got up to go back to her room.

On the second day, Yu Qiyu woke up, rubbed the corners of his forehead that was a little dull and painful, and saw that he hadn't changed his pajamas yesterday, and pressed out a lot of wrinkles, thinking that he would drink less in the future, and his alcohol consumption was really not good.

Last time, I was cautious in the heart of the Mu family, and I only drank one cup, but yesterday I indulged a little.

He got out of bed and wanted to change his clothes, but when he looked down, he saw the broken silver scattered on the ground, and glanced at the bookcase that was thrown at the head of the bed.

Putting the broken silver into the bookcase, seeing that there was nothing inside, Yu Qizhen moved, and all the money he saved on weekdays was put in the box, and there were many fragments of copper plates, but now they are all gone.

Could it be that someone took it last night? It's just that why are there still a few taels of silver falling on the ground?

Daddy and Sister will never touch his things, Yu Jiao...... You shouldn't look down on the little money in the box, only it may be the person in the third room and the old lady, and the few taels of silver that fell on the ground are very likely to be the people who came to steal money in his room, and suddenly heard the movement, and it was too late to take it.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiyu's eyes turned a little colder.

He didn't like people touching his things, and besides, he was going to save the money for ......

At breakfast, Yu Hanshan came back from the outer room with a yawn, looking haggard, and he didn't even eat, so he was about to go back to the west room to sleep.

"What did you do last night?" Zhao asked with a strange expression, she also woke up in the morning to find that Yu Hanshan, who was sleeping next to her, was gone.

Yu Hanshan's eyes rolled, and he said impatiently, "Lao Huang's dog left me to eat and drink, didn't I hear that the fifth brother was in the middle of the Yuan, so he had to call me over, I drank too much at Lao Huang's house last night, and I made do with the dog for a night, I didn't sleep well, I'll go sleep for a while." ”

He disguised his weakness and pretended to yawn a few times, as if he was very sleepy.

Yu Hanshan often eats and drinks with the few dogs left in the village, Zhao no longer suspects, and puts down the dishes and chopsticks, and gives Yu Hanshan a basin of water, so that he can wash and sleep again.

Yu Jiao didn't believe that Yu Hanshan just went to eat, his eyes were tired, his eyes were dark, his spirit was listless, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he walked top-heavy, which was clearly a symptom of overindulgence.

Yu Jiao retracted her gaze and noticed that Yu Qiyu was staring thoughtfully at the west side, guessing that he didn't know something.

In fact, Yu Qiyu only suspected that the money in his room was taken away by Yu Hanshan.

After breakfast, Yu Jiao went to Yu Qiyu's room to practice calligraphy, and during this period of time when she came back from Qingzhou, she was indeed a little lazy and lazy, and she deliberately avoided Yu Qizhen some time ago, but she never practiced calligraphy well.

Yu Qiyu wrote a new calligraphy book for her, if she didn't practice calligraphy well, she really couldn't stand the calligraphy he wrote with Xie Yuan's hard work.

Seeing the bookcase in the corner of the table, Yu Jiao hooked her lips and smiled, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Yu Qiyu.

Yu Qiyu sat on the side of the bed and read a book, Yu Jiao's perspective looked over, it was an angular side face, such as ink, under the thick eyebrows are deep and slightly raised peach blossom eyes, and the high nose peak and stiff jaw are connected into a beautiful arc.

After clearing the residual poison in the body, coupled with medicinal diet and dietary supplements, the young man's body has been drawn a lot, and his facial features have faded a lot of greenness.

Yu Qiyu seemed to feel her gaze, and raised his eyes to look at Yu Jiao.

was caught peeping, Yu Jiao didn't panic at all, she cleared her throat as usual, and asked, "Fifth brother, if the head of the family dies, do you need to keep the system?" ”

Last night, I bumped into the Chen family to bury something, Yu Jiao later analyzed, the direction of the Chen family was the mountain behind the end of the village, and the third watch went secretly behind someone's back in the middle of the night, and it must be something that was buried unsightly.

The old lady of the Chen family counted the time, and she should have passed away, but the Chen family did not have the news of the funeral, but it happened that Chen Zhiqing was only lifted during the day yesterday, and they went to the back mountain to bury things at night.

That's why Yu Jiao asked.

"The son is born for three years, and then he is free from the arms of his parents, and the husband is mourned for three years. Since the family elders have passed away, the children and grandchildren need to keep filial piety at home for 25 months, during which they are not allowed to marry, take exams, take office, and the current officials also need to leave office and return to their hometowns. ”

Yu Qiyu explained carefully, "The three-year mourning is completed in twenty-five months, although it is three years of observance, in fact, the mourning can be stopped after two months of sacrifice, that is, the system must be kept for two years." ”

Yu Jiao heard him talk about taking the exam earlier, and the doubts in her heart had already found the answer.

Chen Zhiqing finally won the lift, and the old lady of the Chen family passed at this time, and he needed to stay at home for two years and could not take the exam, which delayed his good future.

If the Chen family quietly buried Mrs. Chen last night, it must be for Chen Zhiqing to continue to take the spring exam, so that they did not mourn secretly, and concealed the news that Mrs. Chen had passed away.

Speculating on these things, Yu Jiao couldn't help but get goosebumps, people's hearts are complicated, driven by interests, for the sake of the future, even the death of her relatives and elders can be sacrificed.

While tracing the calligraphy, she couldn't help but wonder if he was Yu Qizhen, would he give up some things for the sake of his future.

Immediately, he felt that he shouldn't think of him like this, with such a good in-law as the Yang family, he could not be moved, and two years of filial piety should be nothing.

After practicing the words for nearly an hour, Yu Jiao put down the pen, rubbed her wrist, and saw that Yu Qiyu was still looking down at the book, Yu Jiao couldn't help but admire a little, no wonder she was a person who could solve the yuan, she didn't have the concentration and heart of hard reading.

Poured herself a cup of tea to drink, Yu Jiao planned to rest for a while, and listened to the lively voice of the Zhang family in the courtyard.

The news of the small place spread quickly, not to mention that there was a famous event in Qingyu Village, such as Xie Yuanlang, and the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, Yu Licorice, heard that it was the Yu family's brother Lang who understood the yuan, so she took her husband Li Hanqiu back to her parents' house to say goodbye.
