It was already late for the couple to go back that night, but because most of the books copied by Zhao Jing were hit by eggs in the pull with Lai Pizi, and they were stained with a faint fishy smell, the whole was ruined and couldn't read.

There was no way, and the two of them went to the pavilion to buy paper and pens before going home, and brought some lamp oil back.

At night, Zhao Jing planned to work overtime.

Originally, the time to hand in the book was tomorrow, and I thought that I would finish copying it and send it early, but I didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky thing.

Fortunately, there was still one night, which he had promised, and it had to be delivered on time, and he could not destroy his credibility in the Pavilion because of this incident.

When the two arrived home, Zhao Sanniang had already steamed the rice in the pot, and they could have dinner as soon as Qi Yunshu brought it back.

After dinner, Zhao Jing sent himself to the room, and worked hard to write with the dim oil lamp.

"It's too hard to be like this!" Because Qi Yunshu and his family reported good news and did not report bad news, Zhao Sanniang didn't know, but she felt sorry for Zhao Jing so hard.

Su Zhi didn't want Zhao Sanniang to worry, so she said casually: "Well, he is copying books, and the owner of the Pavilion said that his handwriting is good-looking, and the copied books are selling well, so he arranged a few more books for him!" ”

According to Zhao Jing, the reason why his handwriting is so good-looking is because he has practiced it like this since he was a child.

When I first went to copy a book in the pavilion, I copied a large book to give a copper, but for the poor boy Zhao Jing, he saw it as an opportunity to read.

He is already talented and intelligent, and has the ability to never forget, and slowly copied it here, and memorized it there, so that this job can not only allow him to read books that he can't afford but also have free paper and pen to practice calligraphy, Zhao Jing is very careful to cherish this good opportunity.

Until now, ten years later.

Qi Yunshu packed up the family strips, coaxed Zhao Sanniang to rest, and made a pot of refreshing and calming green tea for him, and sat next to him and watched him write with his hands on his cheeks.

At this time, his waist is not bent, his back is not hunched, his back is sitting upright, his body is slender, his body is erect, his temperament is like jade, and he is as straight as a cypress, which is fascinating.

It looks like the most beautiful landscape painting.

Time passed unconsciously, and Qi Yunshu raised his eyes to see that it was nearly two watches, and it could be seen that Zhao Jing still had several copies left to finish.

At this rate, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish copying it without sleeping all night.

She thought about it for a moment and simply sat down, moistened the pen and dipped it in ink to help copy it up.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Jing raised his head, he had seen her handwriting, delicate with elegance, heroic with uninhibited, and there were three points similar to his handwriting.

Seeing that she copied seriously and was not slow, he smiled and continued to copy.

On the fourth watch, the two finally finished, looked at each other and smiled, got up and washed before they had time to say more, and hurried to sleep.

In the early morning, the two were woken up by a strong knock on the door.

"Zhao Jing, Yun Niang......"

"Who are you?" Zhao Sanniang temporarily lived in the hall, and as soon as she heard the movement, she opened the door and motioned for them to be quieter.

Although she didn't stay up late with the two of them last night, she was clear about the lights that they only went out on the fourth watch, and they had only been lying down for two hours at this time.

"Who are you, I am Yun Niang and her second uncle, her mother asked me to tell her, her father has been unwell recently, if her injury is healed, she should go back to the door, if it is more than 100 days, everyone will see her laugh!"

"Hey, I know, I'll tell Yun Niang when she gets up!"

"Tsk, no wonder Yun Niang is a lazy woman, it's all three poles in the day, and she is still lying in the quilt, so greedy, no wonder people say ......"

"No, it's not......" Zhao Sanniang tried to explain, but people didn't want to hear it, so she turned around and left after the news was conveyed.

Leaving Zhao Sanniang with a helpless face, she seemed to have said the wrong thing, she should tell a little lie, and said that Yun Niang went out......

Alas, now......

Zhao Sanniang hated herself for clapping her hands in the yard and turning in circles, and Qi Yunshu appeared behind her: "Third sister, don't be entangled, anyway, I have always been like this in their hearts!" ”

"Yes...... But that's all rumors, and there's no better little lady than you in my heart! Zhao Sanniang said very sincerely.

Qi Yunshu laughed "poof", and turned around to see that Zhao Jing had already changed his clothes and laid his baggage.

"What are you?"

"Go to town first and hand in the books, and then accompany you back to the door!"

Qi Yunshu sighed secretly: Alas, everything that should come is still coming!

Last time, she could avoid meeting the Qi family and his wife under the pretext of being injured, but now if she makes excuses, I'm afraid even Zhao Jing will doubt her identity.

She can only be submissive for the time being, and when the time comes, she will be able to adapt to the situation.

The two went to the Pavilion together to return the books, because several of them were in Qi Yunshu's handwriting, Zhao Jing took the initiative to confess the matter to the owner, hoping to reduce the remuneration in exchange.

How do you know that the owner of the Pavilion is extremely good at talking, as soon as he heard that it was written by Zhao Jing's wife, he saw that the writing was not bad at all, and he felt happy for a while, so he also received it according to the price of Zhao Jing's words, and even very happily asked Qi Yunshu to copy more if he was free.

Qi Yunshu agreed, but she didn't take it to heart, it took time for her to copy this book, and it was better to go up the mountain to dig some herbs and sell them if she had this time.

After the two of them finished this stubble, they bought three-color fruits according to the rules of returning to the door, five catties of pork belly, two catties of white sugar, two catties of brown sugar, and twenty eggs.

"It's too much!" Qi Yunshu hesitated, this cost Zhao Jing a lot of money, anyway, all the extra half of the silver money he had just received for copying the book was put on this.

Zhao Jing suddenly said seriously: "It's worth it for you!" ”

No matter what happened to the Zhao family, he married Yun Niang, and he didn't give a gift to anyone, but he was to make Yun Niang's face, and he was willing to spend this money so that she would have a bright face!

Although Qi Yunshu didn't like the Qi family, Zhao Jing's behavior pleased him, and along the way, the two sat on the ox cart borrowed from Benwei Building, holding their hands tightly, and their eyes were deep in love.

Zhaojia Village is not far from Nancheng Town, and it is in a radiating isosceles triangle with Bajiao Village and Nancheng Town.

Half an hour later, Zhao Jing stopped in front of a blue brick house.

In the wall of the fenced courtyard surrounded by bamboo is a courtyard house with seven rooms, which is quite tidy.

"Sister Yun Niang is back, Daddy, Mother, Sister is back!"

A girl with a double bun was wearing a pink shirt, and after seeing Qi Yunshu jump off the ox cart, she walked over with her skirt, walking like a well-educated lady along the way, her head did not move, and her hair did not move!

Qi Yunshu saw her walk in front of her with a dignified appearance, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You are Yueniang?" ”

She remembered that the original owner had a younger sister named Yueniang, who was the treasure of her adoptive father and adoptive mother, and she was just a foil.

He has a good-colored face, but he has a very bad temper and has a big chest.

When the people in Zhaojia Village mention the two daughters of the old Zhao family at the entrance of the village, they often say that Lao Zhao is blessed, a girl looks good, a girl is well raised, and there is a son who is both good and well-raised, and he will be a big official in the future!

Of course, this is just a polite word, and there are malicious words: the one who is good-looking but often makes mistakes is Yun Niang, and the one who is knowledgeable is her sister Yueniang!

Look at the old couple of the Zhao family, I don't know where the two of them in the village came from so many hearts and eyes to move.

calculated the original owner miserably, so that Zhao Liangtian, who heard the movement, withdrew from his family, and was calculated to marry Zhao Jing, a sick man, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the pond.

It's sad, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's hateful!

"Look at what my sister said, is it that after more than a month, my sister doesn't know my sister?" Yueniang hugged Qi Yunshu's arm and sprinkled coquettishly.

A pair of eyes kept aiming at Zhao Jing on the other side.

This brother-in-law is the second time she has met.

The first time was when he got married, he was wearing a red and somewhat whitish wedding dress, bent over and bowed his back, and he had to cover his mouth and cough twice before he could take two steps, and his father and mother did not allow her to get close to see it, for fear of being infected by his cough.

This time, he was wearing an ordinary cyan Confucian shirt, with a gentle and elegant temperament, a slender figure, and a straight body, as tall and thin as the poplar tree planted at the entrance of the village.

Qi Yunshu saw Yueniang staring at Zhao Jing without even blinking her eyes, and understood that Zhao Jing's appearance was still beaten, and the girl had a heart of spring, so she reminded in a whisper: "Yueniang, why are you stunned, hurry up and help us get something!" ”

Yueniang's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly moved away, and whispered: "It's the first time I have seen my brother-in-law so closely, and then I know that my brother-in-law is really good-looking!" ”

Qi Yunshu was noncommittal, Zhao Jing was indeed good-looking, and she felt particularly eye-catching when she looked at it every day.

But listening to Yueniang say it so bluntly, she was vaguely a little unhappy in her heart.

"Okay, now that they're all back, why are they still at the door, come in quickly!" Zhao's mother Yu stood at the door and greeted them.

Father Zhao also smiled loyally and stepped forward to greet the two. Under the guidance of his own family, he saw that Zhao Jing's hand was full of it, and hurriedly came over to help carry it.

As soon as you start, no matter what all these things are, you have to have at least twenty or thirty pounds.

He just mentioned that he hadn't adapted to it in his hands, and he felt a little strained to carry it, but he couldn't even breathe when he saw this legendary sick scholar.

He twisted it vigorously with some unbelief, still with great difficulty.

Zhao Jing saw his doubts, stepped forward to take the heaviest thing quietly, and pretended to pant a few times, which dispelled Zhao's father's suspicions.

That's right!

"Our son-in-law is really polite, did he come here, and brought so many things!" Yu Shi said kind words in her mouth, but her hands were busy picking up the remaining things in Zhao Jing's hands, her goal was that these things would enter her door and she would not have to leave!

Especially after she quietly saw that it was solid meat and rice noodles inside, her face bloomed with a smile.

politely beckoned the two of them to sit down in the hall, while busy pouring tea and serving snacks.

Qi Yunshu looked at the hall house, which was neither wide nor narrow, with the main house behind it, two side rooms on both sides, and a room and a low tool room on the east side of the courtyard.

There was another throbbing pain in my head, and some inexplicable memories began to pour out again.

The father and ancestor of Zhao in his memory did not leave him anything.

There were too many brothers and sisters in his generation, and there were a total of three acres of thin land in his family, and only five points of dry land were allocated to him.

When he did not adopt the original owner, his family was often hungry and often had to go hunting in the mountains to survive.

But after bringing back the original owner, life seems to have gotten better all of a sudden.

Not only did he move out of the small thatched hut where he lived, but he also built this seven-room blue brick house, and he also bought four acres of good land and one acre of good land.

Zhao's father is quite hardworking, so the days are slowly getting better and better!

The watershed of all this has to start with the adoption of the original owner, so at the beginning, when the two only gave birth to a son, Qi Yan did not give birth to a daughter, and it was really good to treat Qi Yunniang for a while.

But later, with the birth of the two-year-old Yueniang of the original owner, the two had a comparison, Yun Niang was pampered since she was a child, and her personality was too strong, and she bullied Yueniang from time to time, and slowly lost the love of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother.

Therefore, it is said that people do not die if they do not act, Yun Niang has that day, although it has something to do with Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's eccentric eyes, it also has a lot to do with her way of doing things.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunshu was a little calm, plus she was not the original owner after all, she had suffered the grievances and hardships she had suffered before, she was still a little unable to empathize, otherwise she would be too tired to live.

Of course, there are some big hatreds, and as her successor, she will naturally take it over with one hand!

Qi Yunshu walked in his mind the whole time, and he was not close enough to Yueniang, but this time Yueniang didn't have any thoughts on her, but went to Zhao Jing wholeheartedly, and asked him what he read for a while, and asked him if he was tired of reading......

Qi Yunshu was happy, occasionally turning around, looking for lost memories.

In this way, it was time for lunch, and when it was time to eat, there were rules for eating without saying a word, Zhao Jing was relieved that he was not entangled by Yueniang, and after a quick meal, he said that he was busy with his studies and wanted to go back.

After all, one has to go to the restaurant to cook, and the other has to go back to study.

"I'm going back, alas, my mother hasn't seen you for a long time, and I want to talk to you about my heart!" Yu pulled Qi Yunshu with love.

Hearing this, Qi Yunshu's heart was full of goosebumps.

After all, she is not the original owner, and she does not crave maternal love that does not belong to her, so she is very awkward!

Yu Shicai continued to sensationalize regardless of her feelings: "I don't know when you learned this cooking skill, alas, no matter what, it's good to have a skill, our family conditions are not good, and the dowry for you is limited, so you don't blame your father and mother......"

Qi Yunshu shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I don't blame you, it's all fate!" ”

She traveled for some reason, but the fate of the original owner had already stopped in the dark night of early spring.

"Yes, it's all fate, but you are a blessed one, I originally thought that I would lose a talented man and marry a sick man...... We're worried, but you're a wangfu, I heard that now our son-in-law has entered the door of Old Lady Yun and become his closed disciple! ”

Qi Yunshu didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart.

In her opinion, I am afraid that Qi Yan rejected Liu Cailian on the surface, but secretly came back to say hello to the Yu family, so today's trip back.

"These are all public things, I don't know very well!" Qi Yunshu pretended to be confused.

Since ancient times, women only need to teach their husbands and children, and men's affairs don't have to worry about it, she sees what else Yu has to say.

"Hey, Yun Niang, why are you so stupid, you were so disgraceful when you married into the Zhao family, and you also made a fuss about jumping over the weir pond, how can you ignore it now, in case your son-in-law has something else outside...... I've heard that they are the most popular readers......"

Yu Shi looked nervous, if it weren't for Qi Yunshu's memory of Yu's mistreatment of her, as well as those shabby dowries, she might really believe that Yu Shi was really good for her.

"If the husband really wants to do that, I can't help it, after all, it's ...... to marry and obey the husband."

Qi Yunshu looked embarrassed, her fair face was still red, how aggrieved she looked.

"Hey, Yun Niang, you ......" Yu Shi looked helpless.

Obviously, Yun Niang used to be such a strong and willful person, but this marriage is like a different person!

She looked at Qi Yunshu and felt that she didn't look like that kind of person, but this appearance was still like this, and there was no change in ideas.

"Hey, you're going to kill me in a hurry!" Yu Shi was anxious, poking her forehead with a helpless face.

"Mother, don't worry sister, sister doesn't dare to go, wait for me to tell my brother-in-law, anyway, we are all a family, one is good, carry each other, and everyone will be fine as a family in the future!" Yueniang looks very sensible.

Qi Yunshu looked at her, no wonder she had such a mind when she spoke, look at this little clever trick.

She wanted to see how Zhao Jing should reply to this, so she pretended to bow her head and wipe her tears.

Yueniang has long been used to looking at her useless sister.

She has been like that since she was a child, she only knows to hide from the side when she gets into trouble, and every time she and her eldest brother wipe her ass.

Yueniang found Zhao Jing, who was listening to Zhao's father's advice in the yard, and greeted in a coquettish voice: "Hello brother-in-law!" ”

Zhao Jing turned around and saw that she was the only one who subconsciously asked, "What about the lady?" ”

"Mother feels sorry for my sister, my sister hasn't come back for so long, I think I have a lot of intimate things to say."

Yueniang invited Zhao Jing to sit down on the stone bench in the yard, the yard was planted with pomegranate flowers, and at this time there were small red and bright flowers, and occasionally a few pieces fell, which was very meaningful.

Yueniang lowered her eyes and sat down with a ladylike appearance: "Brother-in-law, in fact, my sister is experiencing a difficult thing now, I don't know if my brother-in-law may help?" Yueniang saw what Zhao Jing did today, and seemed to be very interested in Yun Niang, so she directly made a temptation.

Zhao Jing had already noticed it in his heart, and he didn't want to embarrass Qi Yunshu, so he motioned for her to speak directly.

Yueniang told her eldest brother's current situation, which was similar to what Zhao Jing knew before, but fortunately, he had already guessed in his heart before he came, and he had already made a decision, and when he heard it, he only groaned for a while and said, "I know!" ”

"Then my brother-in-law might answer me?" Yueniang raised her chin slightly, blinking her apricot eyes and looking at him expectantly.

She looked in the mirror and looked very good at herself from this angle.

Zhao Jing didn't look at her more, but looked behind her, Qi Yunshu was already standing next to the pomegranate tree.

"Lady, are you worried about your eldest brother's apprenticeship?"

Qi Yunshu saw that his narrow phoenix eyes were shining, knowing that he already had an answer, and shook his head for fear that he would be embarrassed.

Zhao Jing smiled: "Actually, I already know, it's not a difficult thing, wait until I go back and find a chance to talk to Mr. Yun!" ”

"Ah......" Qi Yunshu didn't think that he was so good at talking, she couldn't help but be shocked, and then opened her eyes wide, and signaled to him with her eyes, if he was embarrassed, he didn't have to agree, anyway, she didn't care much about the family here.

However, Zhao Jing replied to her with a warm smile, took her hand and said when Yueniang smiled excitedly: "I can only play the role of a messenger, as for whether it can succeed, I am afraid it depends on the eldest brother!" ”

He was sure to let Old Mr. Yun look at people, and he was sure to persuade him, but he had to see what kind of person Qi Yancai was first, and whether he was worthy of his help.

So the matter is promised yes, but it depends on the final answer.

"That's a good daring, son-in-law, you can ...... Depend on...... There is definitely no problem with our family's ability to speak and speak! "Yu originally wanted to say that Mr. Yun, the body and bones of you, a sick man, have taken a fancy to him, and it is impossible for her son to be so good.

Of course, she was quite sensible and didn't say it in front of people.

After all, Cai agreed to help her.

The matter was settled, and the three members of the Zhao family watched Zhao Jing and Qi Yunshu's ox cart go away.

Yueniang's eyes seemed to be stuck with glue, and she closely pursued Zhao Jing's figure.

"My sister's life is so good!" was so muddy in the past, and was divorced, but he could still marry such a capable husband!

Su Zhizheng on the ox cart asked Zhao Jing with a puzzled expression: "Why did you promise them?" ”

"For the lady!" Zhao Jing looked ahead, his eyes full of smiles.

"I hinted to you, you can not agree, we don't need to embarrass ourselves for them!" It's not biological, anyway.

"Don't be embarrassed!" As long as he wants to do it, this idea doesn't matter!
