For the sake of Zou's mother's case, Zhang Wenxin almost didn't close his eyes all night, and returned to Qingfeng Ju to wash up hastily, and was ready to make up for sleep.

Although Qiulan was not much at fault, after all, she tried to hide and conceal the death of Zou Ma, and she expected that she would not be kind to her, so she admitted the punishment of 20 canes on the spot and was kicked out of the house. As soon as she left, Chunsheng followed.

Zhang Wenxin lay on the couch, looked at Murong Xi and sighed: "Mother Zou did a lot of evil during her lifetime, but it happened that her death was met by the innocent Qiulan, do you think that I shouldn't investigate this case?" ”

Murong Xi smiled at her: "The truth is the truth, there is nothing to be and should not be." The people in the house still make great use of a little thing, if this murder case is not investigated, and everyone guesses and spreads, I don't know how much of a storm it will set off. Madame: That's right. ”

"You can't help it if you don't like it, that's what I did."

Zhang Wenxin felt relieved, smiled, turned over, and fell asleep.

I slept until the afternoon, and when I opened my eyes, Murong Xi was missing from the house. On the bed, on the ground, there is no person, every time you can see it as soon as you open your eyes, this time it is gone, and you only feel empty in your eyes, but you are not used to it.

When I put on my clothes and came out, I saw Su Qiu sitting on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, like an ant on a hot pot, holding a pen in one hand and crackling in the other. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted, "Young lady, are you awake?" Craving something? ”

Zhang Wenxin rubbed his stomach: "Anything is fine." What about Murong Xi, is he in the study? ”

"The eldest son, he went out. There are a lot of schoolwork in Taixue, and you can only come back when you apply. Childe confessed, if you have something, let Chengyi go to him at any time. ”

Cheng Yi is an errand boy, running between the gate of the Hou Mansion and Qingfeng Ju every day, delivering letters and messages. Zhang Wenxin has seen many times in the past few days, and he is quite impressed. But she seems to be okay today, and she doesn't need to let people run errands.

Su Qiu went to the small kitchen to cook, Zhang Wenxin sat in her seat, and when she took a look, she saw that a few pages of paper on the booklet were smeared with ink pens, and there was a pile of rice paper, which was also a mess of scribbling and alteration. Su Qiu seemed to be settling accounts, but the more she calculated, the more chaotic it became.

Zhang Wenxin laid paper and polished ink, sorted out the account books, and occasionally couldn't count, so he dialed the abacus twice. When Su Qiu brought the food to the table, the accounts were already clear at a glance.

Looking at the few pages of Zhang Wen's mental calculation, Su Qiu was surprised and delighted: "Young lady, you are so powerful, I have been calculating these accounts for two days, and my brain hurts, but I can't match the number every time." You'll get it right away. ”

As he spoke, he put the account book and some silver money into the box, and said, "Childe said, let me sort out the accounts and hand them over to the young lady to take care of it." Well, I don't have to suffer this sin anymore. ”

Zhang Wenxin didn't understand for a while, and said while eating: "Give it to me?" Why? ”

Su Qiu flashed a pair of big eyes: "You...... It's the young lady. ”

Zhang Wenxin thought that Murong Xi only had thirty taels of silver a month, and even if he added his own in the future, it would only be sixty taels. And his fortune...... It may be similar to the Zhou Patrol Envoy, two hundred taels of silver a year is good, and it will not be issued for a while.

is full of calculations, but in fact, he doesn't have much net worth. Help him settle the score, it's no effort at all. Those who eat other people's houses, if they don't help with this little favor, they will be too petty.

So he took the books and the money together: "All right, I'll take care of this." ”

After eating, Zhang Wenxin asked Su Qiu to accompany him and went outside for a stroll. She didn't know much about Juxianfang, and she didn't know where there was fun, so she just wandered around.

Walking and walking, but seeing the green willows on the side of the road, and the occasional passers-by, they are all serious, not squinting, like walking on the stump of a big tree. Zhang Wenxin wondered and called Su Qiu: "Su Qiu, I remember, there are a few markets in Juxian Fang, why do you get cleaner and cleaner the more you go?" ”

Su Qiu: "Young lady, this street where Taixue is located is like this." ”

"Yes...... What are we going to do in Taixue? ”

Su Qiu was speechless: "Young lady, didn't you say you were going?" ”

"What did I say? Did I say that? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wenxin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said it.

Su Qiu pulled her in front: "Young lady, let's go." You will arrive after the street in front. ”

Zhang Wenxin let Su Qiu pull him, and ran awkwardly to the door of Taixue. The guard at the door was polite, bowed his head and said, "Are the two girls also here to listen to Mr. Murong's lectures?" Then you're a little late, and you're almost done, so come in, girl. ”

"Lecturing?"

Can you come and go as you please?

Zhang Wenxin was full of doubts, his mind had not yet figured it out, and his legs and feet had already taken a step ahead and crossed the threshold. I wanted to inquire again, but Mr. Murong was really Murong Xi, and when she saw the big basket on the wall, the words "Quiet when you enter", a solemn atmosphere came to the sky, so that she didn't even dare to come out immediately.

Dressed up, together with Su Qiu, he walked in in broken steps.

The courtyard was dark and oppressive, and the floor was full of people, men, women and children were silent and dignified, listening intently to Murong Xi's voice coming from the air.

The breeze swayed, and the air was filled with the fragrance of acacia flowers. Zhang Wenxin quietly walked to the end of the crowd and sat down with Su Qiu.

Murong Xi looked at her from afar, and a faint smile flew on the corner of his lips, ending the lesson.

Everyone stood up and saluted, their ages and identities were uneven, but they were orderly, whispered goodbyes to each other, and walked away.

Zhang Wenxin's ass was not hot yet, and he muttered in a small voice: "This is the end?" ”

Su Qiu couldn't understand it, and she could see her son-in-law every day, so she didn't have much regrets.

When the people were almost scattered, Murong Xi walked over from behind the book case and stretched out his hand to her: "Why is Madame here?" ”

"I ...... We...... It was Su Qiu who took me for a casual walk and came here. ”

Zhang Wenxin raised his hand and put it in Murong Xi's palm and let him pull himself up.

Su Qiu had already stood up on his own: "Where is it to walk casually, it is obvious that Mrs. has to come, if it is really up to me, I will definitely go to Shangqingguan to visit the temple fair." ”

No one was willing to carry the pot that was thrown over, Zhang Wenxin shook his head helplessly, and changed the topic: "Husband, the yard was full just now, are they all your students?" ”

Murong Xi led her to the cloister and walked around: "No, yes." This is His Majesty in order to educate the people, specially let the Taixue every half a month, arrange a lecture on the scriptures, on this day of agriculture, business, business, men, women and children, there is no class, anyone can come in to observe. ”

"But ah, before the teacher came, he couldn't recruit so many people."

A young man in a green shirt came out from behind the fence, jumped into the corridor with his arms propped up, shook his head and read a few words, and made a deep gesture: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. This fairy-like beauty must be the master, right? The teacher is on top, and the students are polite. ”

In this kind of well-behaved place, it is rare to meet such a lively person, Zhang Wenxin was amused at once, and returned the salute with a smile: "Courteous and polite, what do you call it?" ”

The young man combed his broken hair, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am the jade tree in the wind, learning through the past and the present, only eight buckets high, both civil and military, loved by everyone, and the little prince with a jade face who sees flowers blooming......"

Murong Xi answered lightly: "Just call him Lingyun." ”

"Lingyun?"

Ling is the surname of the country, Zhang Wenxin immediately understood the identity of this young man, no wonder no one cared about him jumping up and down, it turned out to be a relative of the emperor.

Lingyun was like a dogskin plaster, sticking to the two of them all the way, chattering all the way. Murong Xi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he finally couldn't tolerate him in front of him, so he suddenly turned around and said, "Lingyun, the feeling of the public security policy seems to be worse than your one." If you don't see ...... tomorrow morning"

"Huh? Is it? I remember my ...... I wrote it, where did I put it......"

Ling Yun muttered as he walked farther and farther, leaving the field of vision of the two of them in a twist and turn.

But that doesn't mean the surroundings have been cleaned.

Murong Xi coughed and made a blank face: "In broad daylight, a dignified student, what kind of body is hiding his head and showing his tail, don't come out soon!" ”

One, two...... Six or seven teenagers appeared from behind the flowers and trees, and stood in a row huddled together, keeping their heads as low as possible, and trying to use the corners of their eyes to ask questions.

Murong Xi's face sank like water: "Have you seen enough?" ”

One of the students was fast-mouthed, nodded and shook his head: "Enough has been seen...... No, no, no, it's ......."

Murong Xi didn't plan to wait for others to finish talking about the rest at all, and reprimanded: "I'll go back to practice calligraphy when I've seen enough!" ”

The students collectively squeezed into a ball, and left reluctantly. Zhang Wenxin was also numb, he only felt that Murong Xixun's appearance was too terrible, if he was okay in the future, he must remember to provoke him less.

Murong Xi saw that the surroundings were cleared, and then he returned to his beautiful appearance: "Madam, there is a pavilion over there, why don't you go over and sit?" ”

Zhang Wenxin had palpitations, and grinned reluctantly: "No need, let's change the day." Husband, you were busy with me all night last night, and you didn't close your eyes, you should be very sleepy, right? Let's go home and sleep. ”

Murong Xi took her hand: "It's okay." It's getting late, let's go, let's go back. ”

Su Qiu knew that his son-in-law didn't rub sand in his eyes, and he had been following more than a dozen steps away from a distance, but at this time, seeing the two getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to step forward.

When I returned to the house, I saw the maid coming over and spreading the word, saying that the old lady was holding a banquet in Xiangmei Courtyard and letting the two of them come over.

Zhang Wenxin hurriedly changed his clothes and dressed up: "What day is today?" Why does Grandma have a feast? ”

Murong Xi thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't remember what day it was, so he said, "After Madam got married, the family hasn't eaten seriously. Grandmother's banquet is probably because of this. ”
