Chapter 5: The two meet, Lady Baifu
And because the imperial examination is about to take place, although Widow Zhang doesn't say it, she is very anxious in her heart, and she will always go to Chu Junzhu or Mr. Yuan every once in a while, hoping to help her son.
"This Mr. Yuan is Mr. Private School?" Bai Shi asked suddenly.
"Hmm...... Sort of. Chu Qiulan thought for a while and said.
Bai Shi tilted his head and looked at the two sisters suspiciously.
The two sisters of the Chu family were originally young, and because they lived in a remote area, they didn't know much, and most of them knew about it from the villagers.
"I heard Widow Zhang say that this Mr. Yuan is a good person." Chu Qiulan added this sentence, and after a while, she said, "Everyone in the village said so. ”
Bai Shi nodded and said, "Harm, this teaching gentleman must not be as good as me." "My heart is beautiful.
The two sisters of the Chu family: It's good if you're happy.
At this time, the sun is already shining, and it is hanging in the air to exert its heat. The people around him kept complaining, cursing the damn weather, wiping sweat with a cloth, taking a few sips of water, leaning against a tree, rolling up their trouser legs, and some taking off their shoes, pillowing their heads with their hands, and closing their eyes to rest.
The heat is stuffy, seeping into the heart from the back, making people's hearts impetuous.
"Why is it so hot so early in this weather?" A strong man scolded. It's not sitting, it's not leaning, it's turning from side to side, sweat is flowing on your body, and you keep touching yourself with the sleeves of your clothes.
The people around him also kept echoing, and by the way, they talked about some troubles at home.
When Bai Shi heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the sun with empty eyes, and then immediately lowered his head and saw the two sisters who had fallen asleep, sweat running down his cheeks, and gently closed his eyes.
It didn't take long for Bai Shi to hear the sound of walking, and he opened his eyes, and he was clear.
The sound of walking is coming from here.
Three people.
"Everyone's resting here?" A gentle voice rang out.
Bai Shi saw that the three people were standing not far from them.
The two sisters of the Chu family also opened their eyes in a daze, and the surrounding people, except for those who had woken up and worked in the fields, also slowly opened their eyes and looked at the three people.
"Yo, Mr. Yuan, why do you have time to come here today?" It was Widow Zhang who spoke, looking at Mr. Yuan with a smile in her mouth.
Mr. Yuan was about 30 years old, tall and thin, with a gentle appearance, wearing a green robe, his eyes were squinted, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he stood there quietly with his hands behind his back. Behind him were two gray-clothed subordinates standing quietly behind Mr. Yuan.
"This is not the landlord's explanation, come to the field to see who needs help?" Mr. Yuan smiled at Widow Zhang, his eyes were peaceful.
Everyone also laughed, knowing that although what Mr. Yuan said soundly, the real meaning was that the landlord asked him to collect rent.
"It's all conventional, and I won't say anything more. Everyone knows the day of paying the rent, but I still say that if any family has something, they will come to me. Mr. Yuan said, his tone was not hurried or slow, and it was convincing.
"Yes, yes. We don't know who Mr. Yuan is, but the villagers have all been favored by you. One woman laughed.
"Sister, don't say that, I also grew up eating the food of the villagers." Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
"Mr. Yuan go back to rest, don't come to bask in the sun." A strong man shouted, and everyone around him laughed, but they knew that this strong man had no other meaning, and it was not sarcasm.
Mr. Yuan looked at the strong man, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, I'm not here to get in your way." The tone was very helpless.
The villagers laughed a few times and said a few words to Mr. Yuan. After Mr. Yuan left, they exchanged a few words with each other, and they were all inseparable from Mr. Yuan, and then they went to do their own work.
After walking for a while, Mr. Yuan on this side suddenly stopped and asked his subordinates, "Bingtoudi, I really want to remember that it was rented by the Chu family." Is it? ”
"Yes, Mr. Yuan." The servant replied.
"Hmm. Go to the next place. Mr. Yuan answered and walked forward.
Chu Family......
Mr. Yuan muttered, still with a gentle smile on his face.
Bai Shi and the Chu family sisters here quickly turned over the rest of the land with the strength of Bai Shi. It can be said that the three of them were the first to complete today's workload.
On the way back, the three of them also met many people who greeted them in the fields, and they all responded one by one, and when they returned home, the sun had already set. After dinner, the three of them cleaned up and went to bed.
Because Chu Junzhu's family is not big, Bai Shi still lives in the utility room that was cleaned up from the previous injury.
In places that Bai Shi didn't know, something was quietly happening.
He Jia:
"Qingqing, your father has a letter." A voice of vicissitudes sounded.
The person who spoke was an old man with gray hair, with his back on his back, and he was a little thin, but his voice was powerful, indicating that the body of this thin old man was quite strong.
He Qingqing sat at the table and did not speak.
"Said it was to take us back. He said it wouldn't be peaceful anytime soon. The old man continued.
He Qingqing frowned, thinking.
This body has a scumbag father who is angry with her mother, and she is also abused by her stepmother. After that, her mother's father, the old man in front of her, her grandfather couldn't see it, so he took her away and returned to her original home, which is here.
She and her grandfather depended on each other, and it was her grandfather who raised her, and the two lived a comfortable rural life, far away from the hustle and bustle, and quite quiet. The old man will go to the doctor, and she will cook at home, do some housework, and do some handicrafts to exchange for money, and the family has a piece of land, so she doesn't have to worry about food, and her life is not tight but not rich.
When she heard that her father was going to take the two back, she was a little moved.
He Qingqing knew that only in the capital could he show his skills more and walk out of his own world.
But......
He Qingqing looked at Shi Gongzi who was talking to the rhubarb next door outside the house with some embarrassment.
Shi Gongzi: "Got it? That's the trick, remember, I'm bullish on you! ”
Rhubarb: "Whew." ”
Shi Gongzi: "Very good, it seems that you have memorized everything!" ”
Rhubarb: "Whew." ”
Shi Gongzi: "The son can be taught, I am very satisfied!" ”
Rhubarb: "Whew." ”
He Qingqing: ......
I'm afraid the man who picked it up by himself isn't a fool, right?
At the same time, she was a little worried, if she and her grandfather went to the capital, what would he do? He hasn't regained his memory yet, do you want to take him with you?
"Qingqing" the old man asked again.
"You are also older, and it is also a good choice to go to the capital, you can find a good in-law, and you don't have to suffer with me." The old man said earnestly.
He Qingqing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Wait." ”
However, what He Qingqing didn't know was that her hesitation today made her almost die.
The old man sighed, thinking that Qingqing couldn't pass the level in his heart, and said, everything depends on you, got up and left.
He Qingqing looked at the one person and one dog outside the house, thinking, do you want to talk to Shi Gongzi?
Only to finally give up the idea and go back to his room.
……
Beijing, Shifu:
A large mansion with lights still on in a house at the end of the hallway.
It can be seen that this room is far from the master bedroom, but the surrounding environment is quiet, planted with bamboo and flowers, and the floor is clean and often cleaned.
The room has a warm yellow light, with a golden yellow tone, in front of which is a row of tablets, and in front is a statue of Guanyin, in front of which there is a fruit bowl and incense, which is very clean and has no trace of dust.
There is a woman kneeling below, the woman is dressed plainly, and her posture is graceful, even if she can't see her face clearly, she can imagine that this is a beauty just by looking at her temperament and posture. The woman is holding the woman's hair in a bun, and it can be seen that she is married to a wife.
The woman raised her head, she looked very good-looking, not glamorous, but full of fairy spirit, with tears in her eyes, very weak, and it made people feel pity when she looked at it. He kept saying something, his attitude was sincere, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and the woman looked up and saw a man striding closer, the man had a serious expression, a handsome face, very thin, and a confident posture.
The woman stood up and saluted, and called out, "Sir." ”
"Why don't you go to sleep yet?" The man asked as he helped the woman up, frowning.
"When you're worried about me." The woman looked up at the man, staring at the man with the same eyes, trying to find a clue.
"Shi'er is back, what are you worried about?" The man passed away the woman's tears in a gentle voice.
"I'm just worried." The woman hung her head, tears falling even harder, and a hint of despair in her eyes.
"Let's go back to our room and rest." The man said.
"Master, let's go back first, I'll stay for a while." The woman excused herself and did not look at the man.
The man frowned, his expression becoming more serious. Knowing his wife's temper, he finally told him to pay attention to his body, and let his servants stay outside the house, and left.
The man was worried, and since his daughter disappeared and returned, his wife became more and more worried, and her body became thinner and thinner. He didn't know what the cause was, but the doctor said it was a heart disease.
Secret trouble? But isn't my daughter coming back?
The woman continued to kneel on the mat, with a hint of despair and even more anxiety in her heart.
It's not your own daughter who came back at all!
Not at all!
The woman bites the embroidered handkerchief, and her heart is sad.
Why can't anyone see it?
It's a youkai who came back, not his own daughter!
At first, when she heard that her daughter had returned, she was very happy, but when she saw the woman who had returned, she felt cold, as if she was in an ice cave.
The strange woman was not her daughter at all, it was a completely unfamiliar face, and she had no resemblance to her own daughter at all. But the strange thing is that in everyone's eyes, this is the eldest lady of the Shen family, her own daughter, and there is no suspicion at all.
The women were frightened, as if they were in the darkness and could not see a single ray of light.
She probed the people around her, hoping that someone would see as much as she did that this was a monster's ploy. But none of them, all of them thought that this was their daughter.
Even the old man didn't find out that his daughter was dropped. What's even more terrifying is that this monster can get along with the people around him very naturally, and knows everything about his daughter, even if only her mother knows!
If it weren't for the fact that the woman looked obviously different from her daughter, and the weirdness around her, even she thought she was suspicious.
But when she wrote a letter to her family saying that she missed her brother and father, she deliberately took the monster back to her parents' house, hoping that her father, who loved her daughter, could see the clues.
But she despaired.
Not a single one!
No one saw anything weird!
After experiencing fear, temptation, fear and finally despair.
She couldn't help but wonder if her daughter had already suffered an accident, whether she had actually been eaten by this monster, so she came to pretend to be her daughter.
At this time, there was a greeting from outside, "Miss." ”
