Before dawn, Chen Xiu got up and went to the study, Cai, who couldn't sleep all night, hurriedly went into the house, crying and telling him about last night's events, Chen Xiu was surprised when he heard this, he often thought of this sister who he loved and hated, and blamed her for forgetting her father and brother after she got married, and she didn't go home to visit for several months, not even a letter, and he planned to go to see her after the big test. Hearing what her mother said, Chen Xiu hurriedly ran to the boudoir, and when Chen Wan'er heard that it was her brother's voice, she got out of bed and opened the door, and tears almost burst out again.

Chen Xiu saw that she was haggard and sad, not at all like the pitiful appearance before, and said with a deep face: "Sister, you... How did you become like this? Wan'er sobbed and plunged into Chen Xiu's arms, from childhood to adulthood, in addition to her mother Cai, the one who loved her the most was her brother Chen Xiu, everything that had fun and delicious food would be left to her, and she would tell him what troubles she had.

Chen Xiu helped her sit down at the table, and Wan'er cried at this time: "Brother, Wan'er almost won't see you again..." "Actually, at the beginning, Chen Xiu was not willing to let his father marry Ah Mei to Yang Taishou's stupid son, but his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and he was timid, and he didn't dare to be reckless to stop him, all of this was because Chen Tong was afraid of Shangguan's blame, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head, but now it seems that he almost lost his wife and broke his army.

Chen Xiu chatted with Wan'er all morning, she almost wanted to mention Xu Xianglin, but she still couldn't hold back the conversation, Chen Xiu didn't want to mention Xiang Lin and make her sad, but then she thought that her sister would know the truth sooner or later, and said in a hesitant whisper: "Sister, Xiang Lin he already has a sweetheart..." Chen Wan'er suddenly got up and stared at him, wanting to say but resting, after a while, she slowly sat down, her eyes were confused, and asked lightly: "Whose lady is so lucky..."

Chen Xiu really couldn't bear to look at her, turned his back and said: "The girl who fled here from Yuzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty saved her life from Xiang Lin, and later..." Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Brother doesn't need to say anything more, Wan'er knows... Brother studies are important, so let's go to the study quickly, so as to save my mother from blaming..."She seemed unwilling to listen any further, Chen Xiu also thought about letting her be quiet, and after a few words of persuasion, she sighed and left.

Chen Wan'er closed the door of the house, sat down in front of the bronze mirror slowly, took off the hosta, untied the bun, slowly combed it up, and then dotted the thrush, wiped the rouge, the red lips rose slightly, she smiled at herself in the mirror, got up and wanted to leave, before she took half a step, suddenly tears stained red makeup, after a while, she turned around and raised her arm, waved left and right with all her strength, the blue and white box containing rouge gouache, the hairpin comb flew all over the place, she was grief-stricken, grabbed the mirror and said with a wry smile: "People are not there, the heart is dead, who do you want this red makeup to see..." As soon as he let go, the mirror shattered, and then pulled open the drawer and pulled out a pair of scissors, aiming them at his throat.

"Wan'er!" Chen Xiusheng was afraid that she wouldn't think of doing something stupid, so he hurried to tell his mother Cai, Cai's heart was cold, scolding him for why he didn't stay in the room to take care of him, and then rushed into the room with him, but saw Wan'er's hair scattered, and the scissors had pierced the flesh skin at the throat, and blood leached out. Seeing this, Cai fell to his knees in fright and shouted, "Wan'er! Mother, please, put down the scissors quickly! ”

Chen Xiu wanted to step forward to stop it, but Wan'er moved her steps back, grabbed the scissors again and poked the flesh, Chen Xiu was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, and said, "Sister, don't do stupid things!" Beat the little father and brother love you in every way, if you... How painful it should be for my father and mother..."Chen Wan'er burst into tears, her clenched hands couldn't help shaking, Cai's couldn't cry, she fainted under the grief and weeping, Chen Xiu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly fell to the ground to support her, Wan'er was also stunned, threw away the scissors and ran over.

After the doctor's consultation, Cai Shi slowly woke up, Wan'er sat beside her and held her hand, regretting and blaming herself: "Mother.. It's all because Wan'er was impulsive, which made her mother frightened, and Wan'er would never do such a stupid thing again in the future..."Cai's white face smiled and said: "Good daughter, my mother is from here, I know why you have such thoughts, but in addition to life and death in the world, what is not an idle matter, don't let infatuation affect you." Wan'er smiled, nodded in agreement, and then brought a decoction to feed her. Perhaps for people who are too infatuated, in addition to the inseparable love in the world, life and death have become idle matters.

Now Feng Ziying has a fixed residence, in addition to recuperating from injuries every day, she helps take care of housework, and occasionally accompanies Qinglian to Shiqiao Alley to sell flowers, the two talk and laugh all day long, Feng Ziying's leg injury is also gradually healing, Wang is a kind old woman, seeing them is like seeing two biological daughters, she feels happy and satisfied, she didn't expect Feng Ziying to be such a kind and hardworking woman.

Xu Xianglin didn't have any worries and troubles, and he didn't know where to ask for a bunch of poetry books and books, and studied and read them all day long, as if he had returned to the monotonous and boring days of the past. If she misses Feng Ziying, she writes a letter and tells Ruolan to bring it over the day when she delivers the medicine, and Feng Ziying will also reply to him, and she treasures each of his letters and presses them at the bottom of the box. Ruolan didn't understand why the two of them bothered to bother, but Feng Ziying smiled and didn't say anything every time, so Ruolan didn't bother to ask.

Chen Tong was worried about his daughter Chen Wan'er, so he secretly sent people to be stationed in the county, staring at the Yang Mansion every day, and immediately Pegasus reported back if there was any movement. One day, he was thinking hard about tea in the main hall, and the servant came to the hall to say: "Master, Xu Zhao asks to see." Chen Tong wondered: "What is the matter?" The servant replied, "Yes, but he said that he could only tell him if he saw the master." Chen Tong got up and paced back and forth, thoughtfully, wanting to find an excuse to excuse himself, but Xu Zhao refused to leave, so he was reluctantly invited into the hall to speak.

After a few polite words between the two, Xu Zhao ordered a few entourages to carry in a few boxes of gifts, Chen Tong pretended to excuse himself while holding tea, and Xu Zhao said respectfully: "Brother Chen, don't excuse yourself, we are really asking for something to disturb each other this time." Chen Tong took a sip of tea and asked him what was going on with a little irritability, Xu Zhao said seriously: "Brother Chen and I had a close relationship in the early years, and the Chen and Xu families also had a deep friendship in the past, but the family said..."

Chen Tong was willing to listen to him talk about the old feelings, waved his hand and said: "Brother Xu doesn't need to beat around the bush, let's get down to business." Xu Zhao frowned and said: "Brother Chen knows that after March, it will be a big exam, and the dog has been careless to Lin Shao, and he has fallen for three consecutive years, and now he is one in twenty. My brother is the central official of the big exam, and he can. Can you help one or two? ”

Chen Tong was arrogant, hesitated and sighed: "Oh, brother doesn't know, although I am the Zhongzheng official of the big exam, but I am only a small Zhongzheng, Zheng Xun Zheng, the state assassin Shi Zheng is the big Zhongzheng, and he has the final say in the grade of Situ Mansion." Xu Zhaoyan: "Foolishness knows its reason, although my brother is a small Zhongzheng, but he also has the responsibility and power of the staff advice, brother don't be embarrassed by this, I implore you to say a few more words for the dog in front of Lord Zheng, and I am grateful for it." ”

Chen Tong smiled and said, "For the sake of the friendship between the dog and Ling Lang, I have the right to promise you." However, if there is any moth to Lin at that time, I can't do anything about it, and I am afraid that it will also lose the face of my dignified county order. Xu Zhaozheng said respectfully: "Brother Chen can rest assured, he should be strictly disciplined." After chatting for a few words, the two were speechless, and Xu Zhao thanked him and returned home.

I think that Xu Zhao was also a majestic Huiji County Taishou back then, but at this time, he whispered in front of an insignificant little county commander, groaning, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Shi is also fate, and more importantly, he pinned his hopes for revitalizing his family on Xiaoer Xianglin.

Ruolan still goes to the house to deliver medicine every three days as usual, but today she seems worried, just entered the house and saw Feng Ziying, she and Qinglian are planting flowers in the yard, winter has been goodbye, mid-spring is coming, it is a good season for cutting. "Ruolan!" Feng Ziying greeted him with a smile, "Did Xiang Lin write to me?" Ruolan lazily stuffed the medicine bag into her arms, pouted and said in a muffled voice: "How can there be a letter..."

Ziying saw that she was depressed, so she asked what the reason was, Ruolan pulled her into the house, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, Mrs. Chen is back..." Ruolan explained: "Oh, sister, it's Chen Wan'er, the daughter of Chen County's order in this county!" ”

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be her, I heard Sister Wan'er mentioned to Lin Lin, saying that she was born as beautiful as a fairy, captivating the country and the city, and versatile, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately she didn't have the opportunity to see it..."

"Don't hide it from Sister, Mrs. Chen wants to see you." Chen Xiu visited Xu Xianglin yesterday, and the two had not seen each other for many days, and they chatted happily, but they all talked about topics related to the big exam. That's it, Chen Xiu privately found Ruolan and asked her to tell Feng Ziying that her sister Wan'er had an opinion on her, so please see you in the Moon Pavilion tomorrow. Ruolan asked why they met, Chen Xiu shook his head and sighed, only saying that it was best not to let Xiang Lin know about this matter, and left in a hurry before he could explain the reason.

"It would be nice to see it today." Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, but Ruolan looked worried, and said: "Sister, don't forget, that Chen Wan'er and Gongzi met when they were young, and they like Gongzi wholeheartedly, but now you and Gongzi are together, I don't want her to hate you in her heart, in case there is a quarrel between the two of you this time, Sister Ah has three long and two short, how can I explain to Gongzi... I think it's better for Sister not to go to see her, so as not to make trouble. ”

Feng Ziying's eyebrows fell, and she said with a smile: "Ah Mei is too worried, I have my own measure." By the way, don't talk about this matter with Childe. After saying that, she went out, Ruolan pouted, sat at the table with her cheeks up, still with a sad face.
