The afternoon sun is exceptionally hot.

In the small courtyard, a young woman was sitting under the eaves doing needlework. The woman was very thin, her face was sallow, and she was not in good health at first glance. Her hand holding the needle flew up and down, and Shi Er stopped what she was doing and quietly listened to the sound of reading from the small window.

The voice is immature, and it sounds like a child of four or five years old.

The woman is none other than Su Qing, who now calls herself Mei. The child who is reading is Gu Qian, who is four years old this year. Although he has not officially gone to school, he has read two books with his mother and can write dozens of big characters.

This morning, Mei took Gu Qian to visit Mr. in the best private school in the county, and after Mr. Gu Qian was examined, he couldn't hide his excitement. said that Gu Qian could go to school immediately, the child was fine, and his daughter-in-law could help take care of him during the school period. He also said that this child has extremely high talent, and he can only enlighten him, and he should find a famous teacher for guidance after two years, so he must not be mistaken.

Su Qing was overjoyed when she heard this, and promised to let her child go to a private school tomorrow immediately.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of reading stopped, and Gu Qian walked out. He sat down on the small stool, pulled his mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, two incense sticks have been burned, and my son can rest for a while." ”

"Huh." Su Qing agreed, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and felt a little sorry for his son who was not yet five years old. said, "Qian'er, why don't we wait until it's cool before we go to school?" ”

Gu Qian shook his head and said seriously, "Mother, we have already told Mr. that people will not stand without faith." ”

Seeing that her son said all the famous words, Su Qing's smile was even worse. said, "Okay? Listen to my son. ”

Gu Qian said again? "Not to the son, but to the saints."

Su Qing said yes again and again.

The hanging flower door opens? Sister-in-law He walked in? shook the big carp with more than three catties on his hand, and smiled? "Grandma, brother? I went to the market and bought a fatty fish? Cook fish for my brother to eat at night. It is said that eating more fish is smart, and my brother should eat more and be smarter in the future. ”

Sister-in-law He also carried a child who was almost one year old on her back. The year before last, she became a relative and was a subordinate named Wang Fei who was bought by her family. Right now? I'm going to call her Wang's sister-in-law.

I heard that eating fish makes people smarter and smarter? Gu Qian is very fond of eating fish. Seeing such a big fat fish, he snorted with joy.

As a few people spoke, there was a knock at the door.

Wang Fei went to open the door, saw a strange descendant, and asked? "Which one are you looking for?"

The offspring said, "Does Mei live here?" "See Wang Fei nodding? He said again, "I'm Jia Dazhu from the Xiqinghou Mansion in the capital? My fourth grandmother has a letter to Mrs. Mei. ”

Wang Fei doesn't know Jia Dazhu, but Wang's sister-in-law does? She and her grandmother have been to the Zhao family in Ningzhou Qing twice before? Seen him? He was still a teenager, and now he has grown into an afterlife.

Sister-in-law Wang smiled, "Oh, it's Brother Jia, please come in." He went into the inner courtyard again and reported, "Grandma, Grandma Wen asked Brother Jia to send you a letter." ”

Xu Lanyin sent her a letter from the capital, something big must have happened.

Su Qing stood up in surprise and said, "Please come in." ”

Jia Dazhu came in and presented the letter to Su Qing.

Su Qing opened the letter, the more she looked at it, the more her face sank, her body shook, and she was supported by Wang's sister-in-law.

Gu Qian said worriedly, "Mother, are you not good again, I'll go and ask for a doctor." ”

Su Qing glanced at Gu Qian with regret and asked Wang Fei to lead him to the outer courtyard to play. He dragged Wang's sister-in-law to the house, and asked Jia Dazhu to sit down, before asking, "He, he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and the Zhou family didn't save him?" ”

Jia Dazhu nodded and said, "Yes." Listen to the masters, Lord Gu...... Oh, Gu Wangchen, he and several other people coveted a total of 90,000 taels of silver to control the river, and he was denounced, and the evidence is conclusive. The Zhou family killed their relatives in righteousness, not only did they not help to intercede to get rid of the crime, but also said that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Gu Wangchen and those who were greedy for ink together were sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and I heard that the third aunt and grandmother of the Zhou family had already separated from him with their daughters. ”

At this time, Su Qing's heart seemed to be hollowed out. She hated Gu Wangchen so much that she gritted her teeth, and had cursed him to death more than once. But he was really going to die, as he wished, why did her heart hurt so much?

Jia Dazhu said again, "My fourth grandmother also said that if Mrs. Mei wants to take Brother Qian to the capital to meet him, my marquis will help, and I will also escort you into Beijing." If I don't want to see him, I'll go back to the capital to resume my life. ”

Su Qing hurriedly said, "See, I'm going to take the child to meet him." No matter how hateful he is, he is also the father of the child. ”

Now, she finally understands why Xu Lan is better off than herself, she is smarter than herself, and she can see people better than herself......

Su Qing said to Wang's sister-in-law again, "Ask Brother Jia to go to the front yard for tea, and then let Wang Fei accompany him to the restaurant for a drink in the evening." You take Brother Qian out for a walk, I want to be quiet. ”

When the courtyard was empty, Su Qing covered her face with a handkerchief and cried bitterly. The cry was terrible, as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering of her past and present lives.

"Why, why are you doing this? Why can't your heart be as good as it looks...... Where is the shortcut so easy to take, you are a jinshi, and I have so much dowry, we could have lived a good life...... You abandoned me and Qian'er to marry Zhou Zimei, and her dowry will not be less, why do you still want to be greedy for ink......"

She felt that she was particularly defeated and miserable, and that she was blind. God blessed her to live again, she didn't marry Wen Zhuofeng, and she hated him so much. In this life, Wen Zhuofeng and Wen Zhuoan did not die, and they also followed the death to find the culprit and became the grandson of the queen mother. She also failed to marry King Pingjun as she wished, and fell in love with Gu Wangchen, who had been in love for two lifetimes, but it turned out that Gu Wangchen was duplicitous and looked at the wrong person. She didn't have the ability to lead Gu Wangchen to the right path, and she didn't protect this relationship......

Two days later, Wang Fei drove the ox cart, Su Qing and Gu Qian's mother and son, Wang's sister-in-law and mother and son sat on the car, and Jia Dazhu rode a horse and embarked on the road to the capital.

Su Qing's remark to Gu Qian was that one of his distant uncles had committed a crime, and they went to see him.

In the car, Gu Qian asked puzzledly, "Mother, that uncle has committed a crime and done something bad, why should we go to see him?" The mother often talked about 'Meng's mother's three moves', and her son was not allowed to talk to bad people. ”

Su Qing said, "Your father died early, and there is only one relative left in the Gu family, so let's do our part." After seeing him, he lived in the capital for a while...... "collecting his body."

She didn't say the last half of the sentence.

Gu Qian let out an "oh". After thinking about it, he said, "Mother, it's not good to be greedy for ink, and you will be beheaded." If I grow up to be an official, I will not be greedy for ink. ”

Su Qing's waist sat up straight, and she said sharply, "You are not allowed to be an official, you must be a Confucian." ”
