Chungui poked his head out of the pavilion and looked at it, only to see the bottom of the corridor twenty steps away, Ju was crooked on the beauty, his head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he was dozing off at a glance, and the valley where she was sitting was also with his head down, but he was concentrating on threading the needle and thread - recently Mei Xi Professor Xigu was a female red, but she didn't expect to start a new interest in Xigu, and even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the teacher seriously.
Chun Gui saw that the two maidservants really didn't pay attention to her, so he pretended to read a book again, but asked in a low voice: "Jiao Xiaolang really said that he was going to be the head?" ”
"How really!" The voice that came out of the canal was much more than that of Chungui: "I was so shocked when I heard this, I almost didn't think that Jiao Xiaolang was the real murderer, but even I didn't believe it, and continued to listen, first the sister-in-law Jiao was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground, pulled her son and cried, and said, 'You go to the first place at this time, how can you go to the first place at this time, once the thing is said, I am afraid that you will not have to think about going to school in the future, let alone the township test and the test, so that your life will not be ruined?" ’; Jiao Xiaolang said, "But if the son doesn't stand up and tell the truth, the aunt of the Wu family will be unjustly executed, this is a human life, if the son disregards the lives of others and blindly protects himself, how can he be regarded as a disciple of a sage, what qualifications are there to be officials?" ’; The mother said, 'It's not your fault, we are hiding this matter, just to keep the family's property, how could we expect to harm the daughter-in-law of the Wu family?' We are also forced to be helpless! You are the first at this time, how do you take the lead? Can you know if Zhao Zhizhou really wants to pay attention to this case? As soon as you come out, it is against the officials of a state, the people do not fight with the officials, and a gateway like us, if they stretch out their fingers, we can destroy the family.'" ”
"And then?"
"I see that Jiao Xiaolang is like that, he was not completely persuaded by his mother, and Sister-in-law Jiao said that even if she wants to be the first, it is best to decide who to be the first to go and how to proceed after discussing with Second Uncle Jiao, by the way, and also said that this matter is not only related to the Wu and Jiao families, but even related to Guo Guang in Nalangzhong, listening to Sister-in-law Jiao's meaning, saying that Guo Langzhong originally helped them with a good heart, but later he was threatened, and he was frightened."
"The Jiao family felt guilty about Jiang and Wu Xiaolang, it should be because they made perjury and caused Jiang to be imprisoned, but the murderer of Wu Dagui was Wu Ergui, why did they perjury for Wu Ergui? Why did Jiao Manshi abscond in fear of crime? What handle does Hu Duan have to coerce his family? ”
Chungui asked questions again and again, but Qu Chu shook his head again and again, but fortunately, Chun Gui only needs to list the questions and sort out the clues, not to let Qu Chu solve his doubts. The book in her hand unconsciously rolled into a cylinder, tapping her palm down and down, she remembered that the Jiao family had mentioned that she was forced to be helpless, just to keep her children warm; remembered that Lan Ting had found out that Jiao Manshi had been elected as the grain chief in the Dongxu area; remembered that on the night of the crime, the Jiao family had Langzhong Guo Guang in and out; remembered that Jiao's sister-in-law said that Guo Guang was also threatened because of this; remembered that Second Uncle Jiao said that Jiao Xiaolang would be able to take the college exam after three years.
Three-year ......
Three years!
The scroll suddenly paused in the palm of her hand, and even the canal on one side found that Chungui's pupils seemed to be slightly dilated in an instant, and she hurriedly asked, "What do you think of?" ”
"Go back to Dongxu, it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is that I need to confirm my conjecture." Chungui said as she raised her feet and walked outside the courtyard, and she didn't even have time to call the two servants on duty.
Qingping came out of the house, saw that there was no one in the pavilion, and the chrysanthemum under the corridor muttered a dream word, and she could vaguely distinguish what the "red braised elbow" was, she couldn't help crying and laughing. Looking at the other one, Xigu was holding the embroidery bandage, tilting his head slightly, and muttering to himself: "Why is my peony, obviously the same draft and color, and the embroidery is different from Sister Amei's?" ”
Qingping rolled her eyes, coughed heavily, and saw that the two girls didn't react, so she was so angry that she stepped forward and shook them twice, pointing to the gazebo: "Where did grandma go?" ”
The corners of Ju Sha's mouth still have "coveting", and Xigu is also dull, and the two pairs of eyes are in the same trance.
Qingping sighed: "A foodie, an embroidery idiot, it's a shame that you met a housewife like the eldest grandmother, even if this is the case, when you go back to the Taishi Mansion in the future, you will have to eat in the first row." ”
She single-handedly rushed to the second gate, only to remember that she was an inner court woman who could not set foot in the outer office, which is really not as comfortable as a servant woman, at least in the "special" situation, the servant woman ran an errand to deliver a word or send a soup or something, and it would not cause a criticism accident if she was seen.
Chungui was hesitating between sending a doorman at random or going back to explain to Song's mother, but she happened to see Lan Ting coming out of the north gate of the outer ya, she shouted in her heart, "It's okay now", and she stepped forward, her eyes flickered over Qiao Zhuang's face behind Lan Ting, and she stared at the young man dressed as a small maid.
Lan Ting: Ah Zhuang still got a glimpse, and I was completely ignored by you, lady?
But Uncle Zhao prides himself on being a broad-minded and generous person, so he put away the slightly lost emotions and introduced him to Chungui: "He is the Wu family Xiaolang." ”
Chun Guiyuan was not worried that Lan Ting would be careless and negligent and cause Wu Xiaolang to fall into the water, so he was not in a much surprised mood at this time, but said warmly: "Little brother has suffered a lot these days, but you can rest assured, although your aunt has been tortured, now it can be regarded as out of danger, let you come today, just to cure your aunt's heart disease, and to find out the murderer who killed your father." ”
Wu Yunkang was appeased by Hua Xiucai a few days earlier, and learned that Jiang was expected to be released, and today he was comforted by Yin Jiyu all the way, even if there was only a trace of apprehension, he was also dispelled by Chungui's words, but he was still young, and he had never walked into the yatang, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just kneeled on the ground when he came over, and his knees were only slightly bent, and he was stopped by Lan Ting.
"Don't thank us, you should thank Hua Xiucai, and said that if it weren't for your father's help to Hua Xiucai when he was alive, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to form this good fate, if you are really grateful, just remember the four words of gratitude and retribution, if you have the spare strength in the future, you will be rewarded for helping the poor like your father."
Chun Gui stole a glance at Lan Ting, and said that he was not a few years older than Wu Xiaolang, but he taught others in such a serious way, but Wu Xiaolang was still convinced, my uncle really has the potential to be a teacher.
The group walked to the small courtyard where the Jiang family was recuperating, but Lan Ting let Chun Gui go in first, but he didn't explain his intentions, but Chun Gui could also think of it, and went in without saying a word, and vaguely heard Qiao Zhuang asking: "Grandma knows Uncle's plan?" ”
"I didn't elaborate."
"Why didn't the uncle explain it to the grandmother?"
"No need to explain."
"Ugh." Qiao Zhuang actually sighed: "Uncle has a little understanding with the eldest grandmother so quickly?" ”
There is almost no stumbling at the feet of Chungui: if there is a spirit in the heart, there is a spirit in the heart, Ah Zhuang, what do you mean by a long sigh?
On a hot day, Jiang stuffed himself in the room, closed the window, and the light in the room was inevitably a little dim, and Jiang was still shrunk in the corner of the house, bending his knees and burying his face, so that Chun Gui could see where she was after looking around. The servant woman who was in charge of taking care of the Jiang family sighed and explained: "According to the uncle's instructions, I served Mrs. Jiang three times a day to take medicine, but it didn't get any better, and the slaves and maids were half-persuaded and half-forced, at most they could stay in the courtyard for a small half an hour, and most of the day was like this. ”
Is this not getting better? It looks worse than the previous symptoms.
Chungui was thinking in his heart, while pushing open the window, and confessed that the servants insisted on helping Jiang Shi to sit on the kang, regardless of whether she could listen to the conversation or not, and whispered some reassuring words, Jiang Shichu was still a little resistant, and she seemed to want to run to the corner of the house again, but Chungui suddenly mentioned her pair of children, and she was a little quiet, but her expression was still a little sluggish.
Chungui saw that Lan Ting and Qiao Zhuang had already gone this way, and then said: "I heard that although the Wu family Xiaolang is still young, he also knows that he is the only one left in the family, and his sister is all pointing to him to take care of it. ”
She said this earnestly, but Jiang Shi was still indifferent, only staring at her fingers and not raising her eyes.
