Fortunately, Gu Yu still lived up to everyone's expectations, and after a while, he realized something, although he was reluctant in both eyes, he still withdrew his eyes and focused most of his attention on Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Li stood next to Mei Xiaotong and nodded: "Xiucai lady, this little girl of your family, it is a good seedling to train and train." ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was in a really good mood.

When the family came home after shopping, the ancient lady who heard the movement hurriedly opened the door and saw Mrs. Wu and her taking down the things in a big bag.

couldn't help but show a little envy, but quickly covered it up, "Lady of the Wang family, the Tian family came again early in the morning today, and I knocked on the door for a long time before leaving." ”

Mei Xiaotong thanked Gu Niangzi, and stuffed a bag of snacks into Gu Niangzi and asked her to take it back for the child to eat.

Gu Niangzi took the snack, and the sourness in her heart disappeared immediately.

I only think that Mei Xiaotong, a talented lady, is really kind and generous.

When An Huahao came back in the evening, Mei Xiaotong told the Tian family about coming again today, and An Huahao pondered for a moment: "It stands to reason that even if their Tian family is not good at offending us because of the notice of the county master, there is no need to be so diligent here." Nothing to offer diligence is either treachery or theft, this Tian family is only afraid of having a plan! “

"Don't worry about it, I've asked people to check the details of the Tian family all the time, and there should be news these days!"

said another thing: "Today, I received a letter from my uncle, saying that things are almost done, and it is estimated that after the Yulan Festival, it is time to go home!" ”

That's good news.

"Didn't my uncle say what he was going to do?" Mei Xiaotong has always been curious.

An Huahao shook his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle, it's best not to ask about the past-"

Mei Xiaotong Bai An Huahao glanced at him: "Of course I know it's best not to ask, isn't this just what I said?" ”

An Huahao was busy changing the topic very familiarly: "Today, the master of the college said that there are changes in this year's dragon boat race. ”

"What's changing?" Mei Xiaotong immediately became interested.

"I heard that the previous dragon boat race was a dragon boat race, this year it seems that the county lord said, saying that it is necessary to have both civil and military skills, and this year's dragon boat race can not only rely on a force, but also have to fight civilly!" An Huahao frowned when he said this.

Today, as soon as I went to the academy, all the students who participated in the dragon boat race were called by the master and told me the new suggestion of the county master, saying that it was a suggestion, but it was actually an order.

It's said that this year's Yulan Festival Competition, there is a big man coming, and if it is still the same as before, it will be too boring, so I thought about adding something new to it.

The dragon boat race remains the same, but various levels are added in the middle.

For example, from the starting point, rowing the dragon boat to the first level, there will be a question, and you can only continue to move forward by answering this question.

And so on, to the end.

Previously it was only necessary to nu

If you move forward, you don't have to worry about anything, and now you have to be able to answer the questions, otherwise even if you arrive first, you can't answer the questions, and you can't move on.

It does increase the difficulty and watchability, as well as the unpredictability of the game.

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, her eyes lit up, "Isn't that good?" ”

An Huahao smiled bitterly: "You say it lightly, this topic involves the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as miscellaneous studies, in the past, the master only needed to pick out the students with more strength, so that not only to have great strength, but also to learn well, for a while, most of the team members who were set at the beginning had to be replaced, and the master was so worried that his hair was almost gray." ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't care: "This new regulation, everyone is the same, your college is worried, and other colleges are only afraid of being even more worried!" What are you afraid of? ”

"Besides, their academy doesn't have a person like my Xianggong, who is all-round in civil and military affairs, I'm afraid those academies are so anxious that they can't sleep at the moment! If your master can't find anyone, what do you think of me? Let's work together as husband and wife, and its profits will be broken! I'll row, you answer the questions, and I'll be invincible—"

An Huahao looked at Mei Xiaotong, and only thought about it in his mind, with Mei Xiaotong's strength, that shot, if he didn't control his strength, the boat capsized, and the scene was ......

shuddered, and refused very decisively: "You just watch it from the stands!" Just look at it! ”

Mei Xiaotong narrowed her eyes very unhappily: "What? Dislike me? ”

Anhua Hao reacted very quickly as if he was facing a great enemy: "Nonsense! I didn't! How so? I don't think those weak chickens in other academies are worth taking a shot from my lady! How can you kill a chicken with a knife? Besides, where can my lady do this kind of rough work? This kind of thing, it's up to your man—"

"The lady just accompanied our mother that day, in the stands, just cheer for your man!" In the end, I also emphasized it.

Mei Xiaotong sneered, she said that the matter of the competition was naturally to amuse An Huahao, and it was impossible to let her play.

Anhua Hao knew that Mei Xiaotong was teasing him, and he behaved so eager to survive, which made Mei Xiaotong really feel very unaccomplished.

Bai Anhua glanced at it, and then said: "The dragon boat race has not changed for nearly a hundred years, and this suddenly said that it is necessary to increase the Wendou, is it sure that it is just the order of the county master?" ”

It's impossible to think about it, with the current status of the Evergreen Academy, what about the county master, I'm afraid that he will also provide for the Evergreen Academy, how could he give such a mandatory order?

An Huahao's eyes looked at Mei Xiaotong, which were terrifyingly bright.

Hearing this in the academy during the day, in addition to him and Gu Zikai, there were also a few classmates who had a good relationship who felt that there was something strange about this matter, and the others only complained secretly, why did the county order suddenly come out of this demon moth.

He didn't expect that Mei Xiaotong was keenly aware of this, which made An Huahao surprised and delighted.

There are a lot of words, with An Huahao's cautious character, he will not talk to outsiders, but after listening to Mei Xiaotong's words at this moment, he suddenly felt like a confidant.

"I told Brother Gu about this

Now, I only know that a big man is coming, maybe it's to please this big man, and the rules are reset. ”

"Since none of your deans objected, I'm afraid it would be ...... to think of this big man," Mei Xiaotong nodded.

An Huahao rubbed Mei Xiaotong's hair: "I know it in my heart, don't worry!" ”

If that's what he expected, this is the perfect opportunity!

※※※

Since Zhang Qiuju took the Fang family to the door for a closed meal that day, she has never come to the Song family to find herself bored.

I don't know how she explained to Tian Shanglang.

An Huahao also goes out early and returns late every day, and when he gets home at night, his clothes are wet, and with his physical strength, he is so tired that he can fall asleep on the kang, and he knows how miserable other students are.

Mei Xiaotong knew that An Huahao was holding his breath, and he didn't say anything to drag him back, but only instructed Mrs. Ding to cook food for An Huahao in different ways, because of filial piety, he couldn't eat meat, eggs and tofu, and all kinds of mountain delicacies, but there was no shortage at all.

Even so, An Huahao also looked darker and thinner.

Mrs. Zhang was so distressed when she saw this: "If it goes on like this, how can Hua Hao's body be unbearable?" Yi Niang said, this son-in-law is good for his father-in-law to guard for three months, Hua Hao is not his own son, where is there a son-in-law who guards his father-in-law for three years? ”

"I know you are filial, but the living are more important than the dead! I don't have to break my son-in-law's body for the sake of your lost foolish father! Listen to my mother, it's been more than two months, and it's been less than a month, and after three months, Hua Hao will get rid of filial piety first. Give him a good recuperation, and he won't be afraid of the autumn exam! ”

Mei Xiaotong also felt that An Huahao would go up like this, not to mention anything else, and his nutrition would not keep up, which would also affect his study for exams, so he agreed first.

An Huahao knew that the two women in the family were for his good, and he was indeed a little tired after training for the dragon boat race every day, but because Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Ding arranged the food well, there was no bad feeling.

But he still refused: "Mother, Xiaotong, don't talk about it!" I said that I would keep filial piety for three years, and I will naturally not regret what I said! ”

After hesitating for a while, he said, "I'm not just here for my father-in-law!" I also want to keep it for my mother for three years! My mother gave birth to me, and I, as a son, have not fulfilled a day of filial piety. I didn't know about her existence before, but now that I know, I can't get over it if I don't have filial piety. ”

"Besides, my filial piety is also very empty, if you really want to keep filial piety in a down-to-earth manner, you have to stay at her grave to form a grass house, and study behind closed doors for a year to be considered sincere. But now for the sake of the future, for the future, I just eat a vegetarian diet, if I can't persist for even three years, what face will I have to see her old man in the future? ”

Speaking of this, An Huahao showed a wry smile.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she originally wanted to say a few words, being a mother in the world, where is there anyone who doesn't want her children to be good? If she goes in the future, she can't bear to be herself

In order to keep filial piety for herself, the woman does not eat meat or meat for a year, but she wishes that her daughter's life is getting better and better.

But in the end, his mother-in-law is separated by a layer, and this is about the lost mother-in-law, so it is difficult to speak.

only gave Mei Xiaotong a look and let her persuade her to go.

Mei Xiaotong knew that this was a knot in An Huahao's heart that could not be opened, he probably blamed himself countless times, he used his filial piety and filial piety on Song Chunhua, but his own mother died after giving birth to herself.

Alone, lying cold underground for nearly 20 years, his own son is in Jing County, but there is no way to know.

The more he blamed himself, the more he hated Song Hong's father, who caused the tragedy of An Huahao and Qi Huan.

And Song Hong, the culprit, is still in the capital and lives a chic life.

This forced An Huahao to seek justice for Qi Huan for himself, and he couldn't even keep Qi Huan's filial piety for a year, so he could only secretly keep filial piety for Qi Huan in the name of keeping filial piety for Wang Laozhu.

Mei Xiaotong couldn't help but blame herself for her carelessness, during this period of time, Wang Laozhu died, and then Mrs. Zhang was sick, plus a Tian family, which made her ignore An Huahao.

An Huahao doesn't like to say anything, he only holds it in his heart.

Mei Xiaotong sighed and pulled An Huahao back to the room of the two: "Brother Song, don't worry, your mother-in-law knows underground, and she will definitely not blame you!" The big husband is in the world, there are things to do and things not to do! Temporary hibernation, for the day to come, everything is worth it! “

"I'm with you! We ate vegetarian together, and every night after that, I recited a volume of the Jizo Sutra to my mother! I also have a good idea of a place, and when the time comes, we will move my mother's grave to that place. When the time comes, there will be green mountains and green waters and flowers in all seasons to accompany the mother, and when we are old, we will come back to accompany the mother, and the mother will not be lonely! ”

An Huahao didn't speak, but only hugged Mei Xiaotong in his arms, and his undulating chest showed his uncalm heart.

Mei Xiaotong only felt that there was something on the top of her head that had not entered her hair, hot and wet......

After that day, Mrs. Zhang found an opportunity, called Mei Xiaotong into the house, and asked a few words with concern, knowing that An Huahao was fine, so she put her mind at ease.

I heard Mei Xiaotong say that she would read a scroll of scriptures to her mother-in-law who left early every day, and I heard that a new location was chosen, and she would move the grave of her mother-in-law in the future.

couldn't help nodding: "You're right, chant more scriptures, and let your mother-in-law suffer less sins below!" In the future, every fifteenth, it is also good to go to the temple to light an everlasting lamp, and it will also make your man have a thought in his heart. ”

Mei Xiaotong naturally didn't want to.

"What you said to Hua Hao is also right, you have been with him for three years, with this friendship, as long as you don't make the mistake of cutting off your head in the future, as long as he has a little conscience, for the sake of these three years, I have to tolerate you!"

"Don't think about it, you have been filial piety together for the past three years, and he won't dare to mess around even if he wants to. Anyway, you're still young now, just these two

Adjust the body in the year, and when you get out of filial piety, you can have a round house, how many children can't be born? Mrs. Zhang gave Mei Xiaotong an explanation.

Mei Xiaotong's face was black: "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

Mrs. Zhang stopped talking about it.

When An Huahao came back in the evening, Mei Xiaotong proposed to him that he wanted to light a lantern for Qi Huan, and An Huahao immediately agreed.

On the second day, Anhua Hao asked Gu Zikai to take a half-day leave for him, and the two couples and Mrs. Zhang dressed in plain clothes, hired a carriage, and quietly went to the temple.

After washing his hands and burning incense, he deliberately asked the host of the temple to light an everlasting lamp for Qi Huan.

As a result, when the host heard it, he opened the record and looked at it, saying that Qi Huan had been lit for her more than ten years ago, five catties of lamp oil per month, and it had never been interrupted for more than ten years.

Every year, at the beginning of the year, someone sends a year's worth of lamp oil money to the temple.

When An Huahao heard this, his face immediately became as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly, who else could there be besides Song Hong, this person who lit Qi Huan's everlasting lamp?

Before his death, Qi Huan was forced to leave the country with a big belly, and then gave birth to a child and died, which is said to be his harm.

Unexpectedly, he was cheeky enough to light Qi Huan's lantern.

If Qi Huanquan knows, he doesn't know how disgusting it should be.

At the moment, I can't wait for the host to extinguish the everlasting lamp, don't dirty Qi Huan's reincarnation.

The host refused with a face, they are only responsible for lighting the lamps for the deceased, the grievances and hatreds of these living people, the people outside them, where are they willing to be contaminated with half a point?

It was Mei Xiaotong who was so good at talking and persuaded An Huahao.

He stuffed the host with silver, asked Qi Huan to light another everlasting lamp, and dragged An Huahao to Qi Huan's grave.

"Mother-in-law, Brother Song and I also lit the ever-bright lantern for your old man today, you can recognize it, but don't run to that scumbag again! In the future, you can rest assured, we will give your elderly six catties of lamp oil every month, and keep enough! You are old and patient, and after a while, I will find you a good place to move. “

"When the time comes, except for our family, there will be no one who will come to disturb you! Disgusting old man! ”

Mei Xiaotong chanted while placing sacrifices in front of Qi Huan's grave.

This is the first time for Mrs. Zhang, looking at Qi Huan's lonely grave, listening to Mei Xiaotong's chatter, she couldn't help but sit in front of the grave and chattered: "I said my mother-in-law!" I'm your daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, and this is the first time we've met! I know you're a good mother, but you just met a bastard man! Mother-in-law, you can rest assured below, Hua Hao, this child, I will show you! Keep him from going the wrong way! ”

"Don't be idle below, bless Hua Hao, this kid if it's okay, he is about to take the autumn exam, you bless him for raising people in high school this time, and he will be the champion of high school in the future, and he will be a big official in the future! I don't know how big an official is, but it's bigger than his bastard dad anyway! ”

"When the time comes, don't say goodbye

If you don't dislike it, in the future, you will move the people of the old Qi family to work with your mother, and everyone will be a companion, and it will be lively below......"

……

An Huahao on the side listened to it directly.

was originally heavy and angry, but in the chatter of Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Zhang, they calmed down unconsciously, and in the end, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.

Mei Xiaotong saw An Huahao's face calm down, and she was relieved.

When Mrs. Zhang finished talking, the two stepped forward to support her and walked out slowly.

When the three of them got into the carriage, walked out of the distance, and looked down at the gate of the temple, they were as big as ants, and the host turned his head and ordered a monk beside him to say two words.

The monk took out a thin bamboo tube from his bosom, whistled, and a carrier pigeon soared into the sky and landed on the monk's shoulder.

The monk tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg, and then as soon as his hand was released, the pigeon spread its wings and rushed into the sky with a hula and disappeared.

An Huahao's state of mind was calm, and Mei Xiaotong was relieved to go out, and she didn't go to Imperial Doctor Du for a few days.

When I arrived at Doctor Du's house, sure enough, I was scolded by Doctor Du, saying that since I didn't have the heart to learn, don't learn, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and I don't want him to be accepted as an apprentice.

Mei Xiaotong didn't have the slightest sense of being scolded, but came to Imperial Doctor Du's side: "What does Imperial Doctor Du mean, in fact, he plans to take me as an apprentice?" I'll just say it! A gifted and studious student like me, as long as he is in his right mind, will rush to take me as an apprentice—"
