This question is something that has been circling in my mind, although the house arranged for me is not a golden house, but Ah Ping's behavior has this meaning. [If I could see a lot of emotions in his eyes before, now I can only see black and white, and I can't see the bottom.] He shook his head and said firmly, "No. ”

"Then you can explain why you asked Liu Ming to come back and say that you want to take another test, even though you finished the exam yesterday?" I don't want to drag my feet on this matter, if something goes wrong, it has to be solved quickly.

His eyes flashed, and he answered me without hesitation: "Grandfather asked people to come over when he left the examination room last night, I'm afraid that you want Liu Ming to come back and take an extra test, and I want to explain to you when I come back, but I didn't expect you to know first." ”

I sneered and shook my head: "Where did I have any foresight, didn't you instruct Uncle Mu to reveal it?" It's just that you didn't expect me to turn around and leave as soon as I heard it. ”

Although his brain is not smart, he is not too stupid, I don't know what kind of person Uncle Mu is, but it is absolutely impossible to reprimand Liu Ming behind my back when he knew that I was in the carriage outside the door, I figured out this truth when I turned around and left, Uncle Mu deliberately said it to me.

Ah Ping leaned down and hugged me, "I know I can't hide it from you, and I don't want to hide it, but if you know that I went to my grandfather's side yesterday, you will definitely be cranky at night." I intended to let Uncle Mu come back first to give you a breather, but when I came back in a hurry, I heard that you were gone, and what is even more odious is that they actually concealed your serious illness for the past two days. You don't know how annoyed and scared I was at that time, you are unfamiliar and penniless in this capital......"

"Ah Ping," I covered his mouth with my hand, "you don't have to tell me this, just sit down first." ”

I already know the process in general, and there are some details to ask about. When he walked to the opposite side, he saw that he was dressed in a navy blue cloth robe, which was not familiar, but I made it for him. Poured him a cup of tea and pushed him over, "How did you find here?" ”

"The guidance given by the monk in front of the windward building, Liu Ming knows him, and says that you have counted a hexagram in front of his stall during the day." As he spoke, he took out Xingyue Bodhi from his bosom and handed it over, "I redeemed your string of beads." ”

didn't rush to pick it up, frowned and asked, "How did he know that I was in this inn?" ”

He didn't know, but said that you asked him to borrow five taels of silver to live in the hotel. I asked the inn one by one, and when I asked about it, the time and appearance of this house matched, but your registered name was scribbled Zhang Yue. ”

When the room was opened, the shopkeeper said that he wanted to make a registration, and anyway, there was no identity certificate in this era, so he wrote his name casually. It's just that Ah Ping doesn't know that this name written casually is actually me.

"Daughter-in-law?" Seeing that I was silent, Ah Ping spoke obediently to inquire.

I snorted lightly and took Xingyue, but still said with a straight face: "You are powerful now, and you are starting to learn to play tricks on me." ”

"I was wrong, promise not again!"

He admits his mistake quickly, but he can count it carefully, he has hidden his stupidity before, and then he can't bear to mention his identity, including that Liu's widow is not his biological mother at all, and so on, and now he is also concealing the scientific expedition. After thinking about it, he didn't hide it from me, it was actually his grandfather's side of the matter.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is the fundamental problem. Ah Ping's grandfather is far more tricky than Liu's widow, and the most important thing is that he can do nothing, but he deters Ah Ping and dare not disobey. And this bet on the scientific expedition is probably obtained by Ah Ping's hard persuasion, and the three exams have ended yesterday, no wonder his grandfather will call him back to interrogate the situation.

This stupid boy carried all the pressure on his shoulders alone, and didn't want me to worry a little, so he ordered Liu Ming to come back and lie to me about the extra test. How can I blame this thought alone?

So when I saw him turn his face over with a twinkle in his eyes, his heart was already soft.

"Daughter-in-law, have I passed?" Ah Ping asked cautiously.

glanced at him angrily, and said sullenly: "Don't take it as an example." When he heard this, his expression immediately relaxed, and he nodded very sincerely: "Never again, this time I really suffered, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find you, and I'm even more afraid of ......."

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, I casually asked, "What are you more afraid of?" ”

As a result, he pulled a chair and sat down in front of him, put his forehead against me, and said, "I'm even more afraid that you don't want me, so I'll go by myself." ”

I couldn't stand this coquettish tone, and pushed his face away with my hand, but he still insisted on coming to me, so the consequence of the back and forth was - his face was squeezed out of shape, and he looked stupid and cute, which made me laugh again.

The fool in front of him also grinned and followed: "Daughter-in-law, you finally laughed." ”

Snorted with his nose: "In the future, you can be angry with me, see how I treat you!" He took my hand away, arched his head into my neck, and then raised his face and said, "Whatever you want to do with me, as long as you don't disappear as suddenly as you do today." ”

This must have really scared him, and I was really wrong in this matter. After all, this place is not like a rural place, no matter how far you go, you will not lose your way, and if you don't say goodbye for a while, you will suffer when you turn around, if you don't bump into the fortune-telling monk tonight, you will probably have to sleep on the street tonight, then Ah Ping If you can't find it all night, I guess I'll go crazy.

Mindfulness suddenly sat up straight, his fingers picked up my chin and looked at me carefully, and I was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

He smiled, and the corners of his mouth tightened: "Your face is so bad, it is clear that the disease is not completely cured." Uncle Mu and Liu Ming are really hateful, they actually hid your illness from me, if I hadn't gone back to my residence and smelled the smell of medicine in the hospital, I would have thought you were fine. ”

It can be seen that there is anger between his eyebrows, and he is really angry. Raised his hand and touched his head and said, "They probably didn't want to disturb you in the exam so they deliberately concealed it, but then didn't they also invite Lang Zhong to see me, and found someone to take care of me." ”

"It's good that you don't mention it, but it's even more annoyed when you mention it. If Liu Ming hadn't been confused and invited a mother-in-law with unclean hands and feet to steal your beads and medicine, how would you have gone out to look for it when you were still weak after a serious illness? ”

"If you don't come out this time, you won't know the fortune-telling monk, you won't have the help of the previous monk, and you won't be able to find me."

Ah Ping was so blocked by me that he couldn't speak, which may be called the cycle of yin and yang and cause and effect, and it is not a bad thing in the end.

The stomach rumbled at the right time, not only mine, but his. The two looked at each other and asked the same sentence in unison: "You haven't eaten?" I glanced at the door and muttered, "It's strange, I ordered two dishes from the shopkeeper, why didn't they come at this time?" But Wen Aping replied weakly: "Before I came to you, I ordered that no one outside should come to disturb me." ”

I tapped his arm and waved his hand like a fly, "If you don't summon him yet, I'm starving." ”

I was so sick that I had no appetite before, but now that I have him by my side, my mood is naturally better, and I suddenly feel hungry and unbearable. I only saw Ah Ping walking outside, and when he came back, the shopkeeper followed behind, holding a tray in his hand. As I watched the successive dishes on the table, I couldn't help but say, "These are not the dishes I ordered." ”

The shopkeeper replied smartly: "It was the son who ordered him to do it in the kitchen when he came to find the little lady." ”

Glancing at Ah Ping, who was standing on the side, did he have the foresight to foresee that I would be hungry, or was he sure that he would be able to persuade me and prepare the meal in advance? Anyway, he has been softly grinded and dissipated, so he doesn't care about that.

When I saw the second shopkeeper serving food for the third time, I couldn't help but ask, "How many dishes did you order?" ”

Ah Ping looked innocent, "I didn't order much." ”

How much is this called? The table full of dishes was almost gone, but it was all served, so I couldn't go back, so I had to say, "You go and call Uncle Mu and Liu Ming in to eat together." "Otherwise, how could two people have eaten so much?

But he blinked and said, "I let them go back when I went out just now." ”

"......" I was speechless and could only raise my chopsticks.

Seeing that I didn't open my mouth halfway through eating, Ah Ping deliberately broke the silence and said, "Daughter-in-law, it seems to be a little too much." ”

"Whoever orders it is responsible for eating it." I slammed back without looking up.

He was silent and replied softly, "Got it." After a while, he touched me with his elbow again, "Daughter-in-law, I actually feel that you were not by your side when you were sick, and I feel guilty and want to make up for you." ”

I put down my chopsticks and raised my eyes, and saw that there was sincerity in the black pupils, and finally changed my words: "If you can't finish eating, take it back tomorrow morning." ”

He first showed joy on his face, and then asked in a daze: "Tomorrow?" Daughter-in-law, won't you go back with me? ”

Raised his hand and knocked on the door of his head, "I have already paid for this room, and now I will waste this money when I go back?" Seeing that he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he directly blocked back: "Don't tell me that you don't care about this room fee, even if you don't lack silver, you don't spend it like this." What's more, isn't the silver in your hand still in the house, not earned by you? ”

This time he had nothing to say, tilted his head and thought for a while before holding back a sentence: "It's still the daughter-in-law's words that make sense." ”

I sighed and said earnestly, "Ah Ping, tell you the truth. If you want to be sovereign and not passive, you must first have the ability to take care of yourself, so that you can stand on your own without relying on anyone. At that point, no one will be able to influence your decision. "Including your grandfather, I silently added this sentence in my heart.

Eighteen-year-old Ah Ping has indeed grown up very fast, and he has surpassed the mind of this age, but it is not enough, if he wants to have the initiative, he must continue to grow. And often, growth comes at a price.
