Qiwu, Qimai and Tiaogu, the three villages live next to each other, all of which are in the lower reaches of the Nameless Creek, Qiwu Village is on the left bank, and Qimai Village and Tiaogu Village are on the right bank. Going back up along the nameless stream, there is Gouyu Village, which is located at the source of Gouyu Mountain. This nameless stream, like a ribbon of light and shadow, connects the various villages under the jurisdiction of the entire Qiwuyi.

Wu Gucuo's mother, the lady of the Wu family, and several mothers-in-law and aunts in the same village, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, flowed across the stream, and hurried to join in the excitement of Qi Wuyi.

"Yo, the lady of the Wu family is here, please come in, please come in," Lu Wanyu's mother stood at the door, her smiling face bloomed into a flower, and when she saw her master's insider, she greeted her from afar, which showed that she knew the master's kindness.

"Mrs. Lu has raised a good son who is competitive, congratulations, this is lively, but no one can compare!" Wu Niangzi also smiled at each other, took Lu Niangzi's arm, and said as she walked into the house: "You will have the blessings in the future, I heard that the ready-made one will be crowned as a Beijing official, and you will not have a wife in the future, I can't climb it!" ”

"Where is Mrs. Wu, you and my sisters live together in Sangzi, and thanks to the grace of your master's education, you can't say anything like this." Lu Niangzi is modest in her mouth, but she is not exhausted in her heart, and she listens to the envy and compliment of the three towns and five miles.

While talking, another carriage arrived, and it was Mama Liu, a close attendant beside Mrs. Xie, the envoy of the Beijing Tai Hospital, who received the matchmaker and condescended to kiss her. Seeing that the nobles in Beijing were coming again, Lu Niangzi didn't dare to slack off, and beckoned Wu Niangzi to sit down, so she hurriedly went to greet her, bowed sideways to the noblewoman, and asked: "The villager is ignorant, I don't know who the lady is?" ”

"Find a quiet inner room and talk about it in detail." A maid replied to Mrs. Lu for her. Mrs. Lu didn't dare to slack off and let her into the inner room. The two talked secretly for a while, and specially called Lu Wanyu's father, who was announcing the good news of the Ministry of Entertainment, into the house. When she came out again, Mama Liu went out, and looked at Lu Wanyu who was entertaining her father in the courtyard, with an extraordinary demeanor and a handsome son, nodding with satisfaction, and then got into the carriage and went home.

At this time, Mrs. Lu's face became more and more red, and the other mothers-in-law and aunts came over to inquire what was going on. "I'm here to propose marriage to my family." She replied with a smile.

"Who's that?" Mrs. Wu hurriedly asked, "Who came just now?" ”

"That's Mama Liu, who said that it was the close attendant of Mrs. Xie, the envoy of the Tai Hospital." Mrs. Lu herself said that she was still a little weak-hearted, "It is said that Mrs. Xie is the aunt of the current queen!" ”

"That's not impossible, a grandmother, she is so graceful and luxurious, how can we have seen the momentum?" Wu Niangzi sighed.

"Your family is a relative of the emperor?" Everyone was in the clouds, feeling that this thing was like a dream, thinking that this Lu family was the shadow of Yin virtue for several lifetimes, and it was only after accumulating this great blessing? !

……

After some greetings, Wu Niangzi's mother-in-law and aunt from the same village also went to Tiaogu Village to see Chen Zigui's pomp. Wu Niangzi was cold to the bone, and she was not interested, so she forced a smile and sent those people away, and she went back to Qiwu Village alone and walked towards Gu Muyin.

Wu Gu was holding a hoe and playing with his flowers and plants in the ruins, his face covered with mud. When Mrs. Wu saw him, she was angry, took off her shoes, and threw them into his face. Both shoes were thrown, and they were still angry, so they tore off a thorny rattan from the courtyard again, and hit Wu Gucuo's head and body with his head and face.

"You unproductive!" Wu Niangzi had just crossed the stream, and the soles of her shoes were still full of mud, and she slapped Wu Gucuo with a stinky face: "People Lu Wanyu, now Feihuang Tengda, his wife and son, and the royal family, you look at you, you look at you again, you deserve to find food with these stinky muds!" ”

"Mother, it's still cold, don't blow the wind," Wu Gu was wrongly beaten, picked up the two shoes she dropped from the ground, knelt and held them, went to Wu Niangzi, and begged his mother to wear shoes.

"Don't pretend to be filial here, you have to be really filial, I asked you to take the test before, but you went with Lu Wanyu and the four of them, why didn't you take the test?" Mrs. Wu was really stimulated by the Lu family in Qimai Village, and her jealousy made her crazy: "Why did Lao Shizi run back halfway and go to fight and kill?" ”

"Mother, it's a child who is not filial," Wu Gucuo lowered his head, still holding the mud-stained and smelly shoes in his hand, "Mother put on the shoes and continue to teach me." ”

Lu Niangzi took the two shoes, crackled at Wu Gucuo's head, and slapped her face again. But the master Qiaozi got out of class over there, and the chickens and dogs jumped like thunder, so they all recruited the students and watched the excitement around the fence.

"You say, if you don't learn like Zhao Mengmo, I really don't expect you!" Lu Niangzi punched, kicked, pushed and grabbed the collar, and whipped with a rattan cane: "But you are not, you are not the previous township exam, or what is the 'first'?" What is the 'meta'? How can the limelight be covered by Lu Wanyu and Chen Zigui and the like? ”

Uncultured, it's scary. When Lu Niangzi wanted to say that Wu Gu was wrong in the township test, she also took the first place, Xie Yuan. That's true. When it comes to talent and learning, Wu Gu is wrong in Qi Wuyi, which is also the first one.

The onlookers couldn't stand it when they saw that she was beating too hard, but they didn't dare to speak out because she was a wife. Jing Zhixi couldn't avoid it, she felt that Wu Gu suddenly appeared in the Green Capsule Pavilion to save her on the night of the exam, and it had something to do with her. came over, knelt beside Wu Gucuo, and pleaded for him: "Master, don't beat him anymore, if you have anything to say, you can tell him well, Wu Gucuo doesn't look like a disobedient child."

Wu Niangzi calmed down for a moment, she looked at Jing Zhixi and thought for a long time, before she finally remembered who she was, so she replied more and more angrily: "Who should I be?" Wu Ming went to catch the exam that day, and came home in the early morning of the next day, I inquired later, he went to your house, dare he give up his future for you? ”

"On the night of the bone mistake, in order to save me, I was seriously injured by the Zhao family, and there was indeed such a thing, but the master said that he gave up his future for me, and I am afraid that I can't afford this sin." Jing Zhixi said: "Besides, I am not familiar with him. You have wronged me by saying this. ”

"If you are wronged or not, it is not up to you to open your mouth!" Wu Niangzi scolded: "At first glance, it is a cheap hoof and fox who harms people, you two better not know each other, if you seduce my son, carefully the master will drive you away, and go back to the Zhao family to be your girl!" ”

"Mother!" Wu Gucuo raised his mouth: "What do you say about me, it doesn't matter, Jing Zhixi is a student of the master, you can't belittle her for no reason." ”

"Good! Good! Good! Seeing him protecting her, Wu Niangzi picked up the thorn strips, and then split her head and covered her face and fought day and night: "I'll only beat you!" Hit until you know how to go! ”

When the master heard the news, he dismissed all the disciples and rushed to the rooms like a lamb: "Go back, go back quickly." Then he hurriedly grabbed the thorns in the lady's hand, stomped his feet and begged for mercy: "Lady, you are all killed like this, and he doesn't say that he can't be motivated, just take the test again." ”

"Re-exam! Re-exam! You also said last time that if you missed this time, you will have to wait another three years before you have to let him take the test! Wu Niangzi was held by the master from behind, and kicked with her feet again: "Three years, people are climbing the emperor's relatives, and the dolls will buy salt, and the future is bright." How can I hold my head up?! ”

"Since I am a national relative, I don't want to buy salt by my children... Lady, listen to me, compare goods, should be thrown, people are better than people, damn, don't always compare the bone mistakes with them, besides, the name is not bad, he just missed an opportunity, the gentleman became famous, how can it be overnight, don't say three years, ten years is not too late. Wu Fuzi reasoned with the lady: "Besides, late encounters and sub-rules are all good children, they were all taught by me, you should have light on your face, no one makes you look up." As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, don't embarrass your children in front of so many disciples. ”

"Who embarrassed whom, you say, you say, is he unscrupulous, I'm just afraid that he will be like you, and he will be in this poor mud for the rest of his life!" Wu Niangzi began to go down, sat on the ground and wailed.

"Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong....... "It is reasonable to say that he is barefoot, and Master Wu is helpless, so he has to kneel on the other side of the bone and kowtow to his wife: "You mourn, mourn..."

One person cries, three people kneel, and the liveliness of the ancient wood shade is much more than that of the bird.

On this day, Wu Gu was punished and knelt straight to school under the sun setting and the shade of ancient trees. This punishment was provoked by Lu Wanyu and Chen Zigui, if they all fell off the list like Fan Wenqing and Su Zijie, Wu Niangzi was incomparable, and she was exempted from punishment. Human nature is like this, sad, pitiful, and pathetic.

The smoke in the ruins waited for the children to return from school, and gradually restored the tranquility and tranquility of the forest. Jing Zhixi felt guilty and came to see him: "I'm sorry, because of me, you were punished." ”

"It doesn't matter." Wu Gu turned his face sideways and smiled at her, but on his face, in addition to mud, there was blood, and the smile was distorted miserably: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Jing Zhixi took out a handkerchief, wiped the mud from his face, and said, "I'll bring some medicine from home tomorrow." ”

Following. The museum is closed in the shade of the old tree. Lu Wanyu and Chen Zigui jointly set up a thank-you banquet in the city, and invited the master's family alone.

"Why didn't you come to congratulate us two by mistake, and you won't come today," Chen Zigui asked after bowing his hand like a master. He really misses the bones. But his mother, Chen, stabbed him with her elbow vigorously, signaling that she couldn't say anything. Chen Zigui has no scheming, so he naturally ignores his mother.

"Who are you when you are, you just became a sesame official, and you think that your status is valuable, and everyone has to look at your face!" Chen Zigui's father scolded him sharply. Strict father and filial son, that's what I'm talking about.

"Zigui is a child of rules, I know, he doesn't have such a mind." The Master understands the rules. He knows other people's sons better than his own: "The bones are wrong and the face is sick, and some faces are broken, so it is inconvenient to come, so as not to cause some sickness and evil for no reason, and tarnish the joy." ”

"Thanks to the Master's love and teachings, those who know the Son are Mo Ruofu's son." Father Chen arched his hand.

"Then Zigui and I will go see him another day." Lu Wanyu relieved Chen Zigui. The thank-you banquet is a feast for pleasure and joy.

In the shade of the ancient trees, Wu Gu was indeed broken, and Jing Zhixi ran to give him medicine, which was also broken.

"What's wrong with your face?" Wu Gu asked with concern, and his hand was about to touch the wound on her face, but Jing Zhixi brushed it away.

"It's okay," Jing Zhixi said, "I accidentally fell on the road." ”

Before the words fell, the Zhao family's little servant had already caught up. Jing Zhixi pulled Wu Gucuo and ran straight into the deep forest, she had a bad sense of direction, and Wu Gucuo didn't know where she was going to pull him to......

Peach blossom branches, apricot bouquet brocade, plum blossom sue Ya, two staggering figures, between the flower shadows, shuttling and walking, clothes fluttering with the wind, swaying the young chase.

"Why is he chasing you?" Wu Gu was dragged by her and asked, "Did you lose your silk again?" ”

"The silk silk is not lost," Jing Zhixi said, "The medicine is lost." ”

"Wronged you again?" Wu Gu mistakenly said: "Being chased and killed by the family every day, you really live a day of licking blood at the tip of a knife every day." ”

"You didn't wronged me this time," Jing Zhixi took out a cyan jade bottle from her waist and shook it to him: "But I stole it for you." ”

"Follow me," Wu Gucuo pulled her to run this time, and ran towards his former Angelica dahurica flower field: "You don't know the way, and if you take it again, you will get lost." ”

In the past, the flower fields have all withered since the ghost cave and ghost stay. But it is also winding and quiet, and it is difficult to find the living.

"I heard that this is the best gold medicine in the palace," Jing Zhixi said, taking out a drop with her fingertips and dipping it into the wound on his face. When his fingertips touched his face, Wu Gucuo's face turned red.

"Your wound is all suppurated," Jing Zhixi's face showed distress: "That person, Shi Niang, can you really do it, are you her own son?" ”

Wu Gucuo took the green bottle from her hand, poured a little more, put it in the palm of his hand, and then covered the scar on her face: "You still say that I, your injury, it looks like a fall." Your granddaughter is not the same as everyone can fight. His hands were wide and warm, and the warmth was crawling all over Zhixi's face.

I don't know what to do, but I sympathize with each other.
