"This ......" Wan Lin was a little speechless and stopped.

Fu Xiaojiu pressed Wan Lin's hand, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect Master Mei to be charged with such a crime, so he was sentenced to a punishment for the frontier, and the saint is really merciful." ”

Wan Lin said happily: "Yes, his crime is indeed too heavy. Ji Sanniang can be entrusted to such a good family, and she escaped the identity of the descendant of the criminal minister, which is also a blessing for cultivation. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was still afraid, "That is, Mrs. Huo, if others know that I am inquiring about Master Mei, I am afraid they will have to report me." Such a big crime of rebellion, let alone Ji Sanniang to worship, if people know that her father secretly gave her to someone else's house and got rid of the identity of the daughter of a criminal minister, this is the crime of bullying the king! ”

Wan Lin waved his hand, "Let's not talk about Ji Sanniang first." What do you think of what Li Dalong said about this? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said decisively: "I don't think we can be fooled about this matter." It doesn't matter what kind of gathering he holds by the Three Princes or the Seventh Prince, we can't go! You're just a showman, and we can't afford to climb such a tall branch. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's thoughts coincided with Wan Lin, and Wan Lin nodded resolutely, "The lady is the same as I thought." No matter what kind of elegant collection he has, how many literati and scholars will there be, I know how many catties and taels I have, so I won't delay several days to join in the fun. It's coming to the end of the year, and the annual exam is a big deal, and if I don't do well in the exam, I'll have to be removed from the county school."

Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehe, the husband is serious, how can you be removed from the county school?" Don't worry, you are definitely not the last, and An Yushu will give you the bottom! ”

Wan Lin couldn't help but laugh out, "Hehehe, the lady must not say this, An Yushu heard it, but she was going to cry." ”

"Hahaha, then let him cry."

Fu Xiaojiu laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, she really wanted to see An Yushu's crying nose.

Wan Lin laughed for a while, suddenly put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Li Dalong said that the third prince has made great efforts to control the water this time, and he is very embarrassed in front of the saint. The Yaji organized by the three princes this time was also acquiesced by the sage, just to see what kind of talents there are in the world. If there is such an eclectic talent, it is not necessary to go through the imperial examination. ”

Fu Xiaojiu also regained his serious expression, and said calmly: "Even if the saint acquiesces, we don't care about such an elegant gathering." If all students had such thoughts, who would still participate in the imperial examination? Let's study honestly, and we are also down-to-earth. ”

Wan Lin held Fu Xiaojiu's hand, and a look of alarm appeared in his eyes, "Lady, do you think that Li Dalong seems to have been inducing me to join the Third Prince's sect?" Am I overly concerned, or is he really doing my good? ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied: "It's not that you are too careful, I also feel this way." You are a talent, so he wants to entrap you for the use of the three princes. ”

"Does the lady really think so?" Wan Lin asked, searchingly.

Fu Xiaojiu responded: "I really think so. Don't they all say that Li Dalong has a background in the capital? I don't think this rumor is false. In fact, I've been thinking that Li Dalong may be a close confidant of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion or the right minister, and he is a chess piece arranged by them in our place, and I don't know when he will be used. Think about Guan Yong's death, the secret passages in the medical hall and the map on the wall of the medicine cabinet, and the meteorite buried in our backyard......"

At the mention of this, Wan Lin's face became a little deeper.

"Lady, if Li Dalong is really the person of the Three Princes, he went south this time to take the old lady to play, in fact, he should be doing things for the Three Princes, right?"

Fu Xiaojiu responded: "I think so too." You are about to think of a reason to refuse Li Dalong's invitation to Yaji, but don't offend him. ”

"I have a way to refuse, don't worry about it."

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he warned Fu Xiaojiu again, "You still have to persuade Ji Sanniang, you must not let her have the idea of worshipping his father and mother again, otherwise she will expose her identity, and I am afraid that she will be killed!" ”

How could Fu Xiaojiu not know the seriousness of this matter.

"I'll have a good chat with Ji Sanniang, the crime of rebellion is not child's play, and she can know it in her heart."

"Okay, I'll reply to Li Dalong's letter first." Wan Lin replied to Li Dalong.

Fu Xiaojiu was not in a hurry to reply to Mrs. Huo that night, and in the morning, when the hospital was not busy, he took Mrs. Huo's letter and went to find Ji Sanniang.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't show Mrs. Huo's letter to Ji Sanniang first, she said tentatively: "Sanniang, in case Mrs. Huo can't find your father's grave, what should you do?" ”

Ji Sanniang's eyes were firm, and she said without thinking: "If Mrs. Huo can't find my father's grave, I'll go to Biansai to find out where they are buried." ”

Fu Xiaojiu understood Ji Sanniang's mood, so he couldn't bear to tell her about Master Mei, and said euphemistically: "The crime of exile is a serious crime, but if you can reach the place of exile safely, it is already a fate." As a descendant of the criminal minister, you can successfully get rid of the identity of the descendant of the criminal minister under the strategic planning of Lord Mei, and it is a great blessing to live peacefully until now. I think you should be grateful for the present and stop dwelling on the past, so that you can be worthy of your father's hard work. ”

But Ji Sanniang listened to Fu Xiaojiu's words but didn't appreciate it, and still said stubbornly: "I just want to be filial to my father and mother again, I don't want them to have two people who care about them under Jiuquan." ”

Fu Xiaojiu knew that she was a stubborn person, and felt that he couldn't talk to her anymore, so he still had to tell her the truth about the crime committed by Master Mei directly.

"Mrs. Huo said that the sage only sentenced him to exile for the crime of rebellion committed by Lord Mei, which is simply a great mercy that has never been seen before or since! Sanniang, do you know the fate of other people's crimes of rebellion? Since the beginning of my dynasty, there has not been a single person who has been guilty of rebellion who has not been beheaded all over the house, and has been connected to the nine clans! ”

"What did you say?"

Ji Sanniang couldn't believe Fu Xiaojiu's words.

"Is my father really guilty of treason?"

Fu Xiaojiu took Mrs. Huo's letter to Ji Sanniang, "Take a look for yourself, what Mrs. Huo said is very clear." ”

Ji Sanniang took the letter and looked at it with a questioning expression.

After reading Mrs. Huo's letter, Ji Sanniang couldn't help but gasp.

"My father was really convicted for participating in the rebellion? How could he have done such a thing? ”

Ji Sanniang believed Mrs. Huo's words, but she didn't believe that her own father would be such a rebellious person.

Fu Xiaojiu said sincerely: "Although I haven't seen Master Mei, I also have doubts that Lord Mei can participate in the rebellion. I guess he may have been implicated, so the saint gave him a way out. ”

Ji Sanniang was rubbing fat powder, and at this time, she could see that her face was a little pale.

She held Mrs. Huo's letter close to her heart, and said as if talking to herself: "I understand that if my father was really exiled for the crime of treason, I would not be able to worship him and my mother. Otherwise, once my identity is revealed, it will not only cause trouble for myself, but also affect the people around me. Even if my adoptive parents were already buried in the ground, I am afraid that they would be exhumed and whipped. ”

As Ji Sanniang spoke, hot tears fell from her eyes to the letter.

Ji Sanniang snorted and continued: "Xiao Jiu, don't worry, I won't ask for trouble. Now that I know who my father and mother are, I set up tablets for them at home, and I am content to worship them at home. ”

Ji Sanniang can think about it like this, Fu Xiaojiu's heart is put down, but he feels sorry for Ji Sanniang.

Fu Xiaojiu gently patted the back of Ji Sanniang's hand and said softly: "I just said that I was helping my friend inquire about Master Mei, and Mrs. Huo won't ask me anything again." Don't mention it to anyone else. You have to think that you are lucky, because you still have the opportunity to figure out your own background, and there are many people who may not know who they are for the rest of their lives. ”

Ji Sanniang closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

"I'd better take the letter."

Fu Xiaojiu didn't want Ji Sanniang to keep this letter explaining her father's crime, for fear that she would only increase her sadness when she saw this letter.

Ji Sanniang handed the letter to Fu Xiaojiu, Fu Xiaojiu's fingertips just touched the letter, but Ji Sanniang took the letter back.

"Let me read this letter again, at least it says about my father."

Looking at Ji Sanniang with pear blossoms and rain, Fu Xiaojiu said considerately: "Then you can take a look." I'll go back to the hospital first, and I'll come back in the evening to get the letter. ”

"Thank you!" Ji Sanniang said with tears in her smile.

Fu Xiaojiu hopes that Ji Sanniang can untie the knot from now on and continue to move forward easily.

The business of the hot pot shop has been very prosperous since its opening, and although Wan Pozi is busy every day, she is already handy for the operation of the hot pot shop.

The medical hall closes much earlier than the hot pot shop, and Fu Xiaojiu will come to the hot pot shop to help after the medical hall closes, she can't help with anything else, and it's okay to help the accounting room settle the accounts.

Fu Xiaojiu looked at the account book and found that every day was in a state of profit, and the daily profit was in the middle of six or seven taels or ten taels of silver, such a profit was very objective, and it had completely exceeded Fu Xiaojiu's expectations.

Since Wan Pozi took over the hot pot shop, the meanness on her face has gradually disappeared, and when Fu Xiaojiu looked up at her, he actually saw some kind and festive faces on her face.

This is really in response to the phrase "born from the heart".

When Fu Xiaojiu was looking at Wan Pozi warmly greeting a table of guests who had just arrived, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't feel anything at first, thinking that it was a little hot in the room, but seeing that the people in front of her began to turn into vague figures, Fu Xiaojiu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, let's get out of ......"

Fu Xiaojiu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and he felt that his eyes were dark.
