I saw him leaning over, getting closer and closer, my heart was beating faster and faster, and my heart said Could it be that my worries were groundless, maybe Ah Ping wanted to prove it? I almost waited for him to kiss him, but when I saw him stretch out his long arms, he actually picked up the bath towel from my side and straightened up again, and complained slightly: "What are you doing in a daze?" I didn't respond to asking you to hand over the bath towel. [”

Uh, I'm thinking...... How to overwhelm you.

"Didn't you bring your clothes?" I looked at the left and right and said something else, and quickly got up and said, "I'll go get it for you." ”

I didn't run away, but my feet were quite fast, and I calmed down a little when I returned to the center of the room. Opened the wardrobe door, remembering that he took away a few dark robes he liked on this trip, and all the light-colored ones left at home were light-colored, so he didn't care about it, and took a set of white ones out. As soon as I turned around, I saw a dirty piece of clothing left at my feet, which I had changed first when I came back, and I had taken it off and hung on the chair, but then it was thrown on the ground.

Needless to say, this is naturally Ah Ping's masterpiece, because the dress is men's.

Speaking of which, I actually jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, the man's robe was put back on, and I dared to claim that I was innocent, and I wanted to make Xianggong believe it. Thinking of this, my heart sank again, and I secretly decided that I must untie this knot tonight!

Holding Ah Ping's clothes in one hand and carrying dirty clothes in the other, I sent the clean clothes in and put them on the table when I passed by the stove room, and then told Ah Ping to throw away the dirty clothes, and walked out quickly without daring to look at his dark eyes.

When he walked into the yard and threw out his dirty clothes, he heard the dull sound of something falling to the ground, and he was stunned, and walked over and turned out a string of beads from the pile of clothes. It doesn't feel like a jade agate to the touch, and the surface of the beads is not smooth.

If there was a moon in the past, the courtyard would be bright and bright, but tonight the thick clouds obscured the moonlight at all, and I could not see the beads above my head.

A Ping's inquiry came from behind him: "What do you have in your hand?" ”

I looked back and saw him standing in front of the courtyard gate with a candle in his hand, which made my eyes light up. Although this set of white clothes is slightly shorter, it has a feeling of a jade tree facing the wind when worn on him.

By the candlelight, I glanced back at the beads in my hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, this is ...... Xingyue Bodhi?

"Where did you get these beads?" Ah Ping walked over.

I didn't hide it from him: "I picked it up when I escaped, and I don't know if I forgot what Chen Ergou left behind." Ah Ping glanced at the dirty clothes that had been thrown on the ground, although there was no deep meaning in the eyes, but I felt awkward. He wasn't too interested in stringing beads, but he pulled the placket uncomfortably and said, "I'll go find Uncle Mu to arrange it." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, I couldn't help but pull his sleeve and ask, "What are you arranged?" It's so late, it's never too late to talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

He shook his head: "We have to leave overnight to ask Uncle Mu to prepare a carriage." ”

"Overnight? In such a hurry? ”

"It's the tenth day of the first month, and the day after tomorrow is the second exam, candidates need to enter the exam room one day in advance, and we must arrive in the capital before tomorrow night. You haven't ridden a horse, you can only arrange a carriage. ”

Listening to Ah Ping's explanation, I immediately understood that if he went to Beijing alone, he could ride a fast horse, and he would have time to leave early tomorrow morning, but because he wanted to take me, he had to change to a carriage, and the speed of the carriage was definitely not as fast as a fast horse.

After seeing him go out of the door, I went back to my room alone, lit the oil lamp, and looked at the star-moon chain, or rather, it was actually a bracelet. I don't know what people in this era call the star and moon beads, but in their own time, it is a kind of cultural play, often played in the palm of the hand, and its color will change over time, from the original milky white will slowly turn yellow to amber and then gradually turn red, commonly known as pulp.

I used to have a string of identical ones, even the beeswax accessory in the middle, and after two years of wearing, the color has changed from milky white to dark yellow, and it should be red after two years of wearing. And the string in front of me is jujube red, it should be a very old thing, and I think it is, if this is what Chen Ergou stole from the tomb in the cottage, I am afraid it may be the burial object of the old leader.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but put down the Xingyue bracelet, dead people's things will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. But after a while I picked it up again and put it on my left wrist.

By the time Ah Ping returned, he had already packed his clothes, but there was no one at home for many days and there was no dry food. After hearing my concerns, he said that Uncle Mu would be prepared, so our group left home and went to Beijing before dawn.

At first, I felt a little fresh in the carriage, and I looked forward to the dawn to see the scenery outside the window, but after holding on for a while, I felt sleepy. In the end, I was too sleepy to lean on Ah Ping's body and fell asleep, and before I fell asleep, I thought that my plan to prove my innocence seemed to be unable to be implemented for a while. After falling asleep, I was haunted by dreams, one after another, and kept wandering in the dream.

I woke up in a daze with a heavy head, and it took me a while to regain consciousness. I found myself lying on the chair of the carriage, but I didn't see Ah Ping beside me, and the carriage was still moving. I sat up and lifted the curtain to look out, I couldn't help but be stunned, the person driving in the early hours of the morning was clearly Uncle Mu, why was there a different person driving outside, and where did Ah Ping go?

Hearing movement on my side, the driver turned around, I was slightly stunned, and recognized this person as Liu Ming from the head of the village.

"Madame, there are dry rations and water in the carriage, you eat first, and then buy fresh ones when you pass through the next town."

I asked, "What about Ah Ping?" ”

"Seeing that Mrs. was tired and asleep, he couldn't bear to wake up, so he and Uncle Mu rode to Beijing to take the exam first, and let me drive you in a carriage to take you later, so you don't need to be in a hurry."

"What time is it?"

Liu Ming looked up at the sky when he saw me asking, "It should be out of time." ”

Not in time? So I've been sleeping for almost a day? Although he was disappointed to hear that Ah Ping would go first, he could also understand that it must be too late, so he had to take the first step. I thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for us to get to the capital?" ”

"We'll be there before dark."

It was less than two hours, and when I returned to the carriage, I saw a food box under the seat, and when I opened it, I found that it was a box of osmanthus cakes. I picked a piece and put it in my mouth, it was fluffy and soft, and the osmanthus flavor was very strong, which reminded me of the night in the cave room with Aping, and the pastries in the house seemed to be osmanthus cakes. But the taste is missing something, or it feels worse, because there is no Ah Ping by his side.

I thought that Chen Ergou also said that he would come to me early this morning, I am afraid that when he comes, he will find that people go to the building to be empty and angry. Wait, Chen Ergou's purpose is to go down to the underground of our house, wouldn't it be convenient for him to have no one at home now?

After thinking about it, there should be someone staying at home, didn't the Du family brothers be called to the next door to guard before, and Chen Ergou couldn't go down quietly with them. Although the journey was dull, but I thought about things and looked at the scenery outside the window, and at dusk in the evening the carriage drove towards the capital, which was the first time I saw the towering walls and the soldiers who were heavily guarded in this era, and I was inevitably apprehensive.

But thinking that Ah Ping was inside, his heart settled down, he probably had already entered the examination room at this time, and he would be able to come to me tomorrow after the exam. If he hadn't brought me to the capital, where would I have had the opportunity to meet him?

As the city gate approached, I squinted to see the inscription on the city tower, the treasure gate? I couldn't help laughing, how could people in ancient times even name a city wall gate Jubao, don't you think it's cheesy?

While complaining, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and a soldier looked at me outside, then lowered the curtain and let us into the city. I thought that Liu Ming would drive a carriage to take me to the inn, but I didn't think about it but stopped in front of a private house. But when Liu Ming pushed the door open, he found that it was just a small house, there was no difference between the front house and the back room, and the door was a courtyard, and several rooms were spread around, which was a bit of a courtyard.

Liu Ming said that I could choose a random one to live in, thinking that it would be a few nights anyway, so I found the one on the far left and put down my burden. Liu Ming thought it was inconvenient to be in the same room with me, so he went out first after the arrangement.

When night fell, I walked into the courtyard and looked up, last night was full of dark clouds, but tonight it was full of stars, and the moonlight was so bright. I wonder if Ah Ping is looking up at the moon in the examination room? Not to mention, the state of mind at this time was completely different from that day when he left him alone, as if he was closer, and even the moon he saw felt much closer.

I got up early the next day, but after waiting for a day, I didn't see Ah Ping appear, and when I asked Liu Ming, he didn't know what the situation was in the examination room, saying that the exam was completely closed, and the candidates could not come out after entering, and they had to wait until all the candidates finished the exam before the examiner decided when to release them. I sighed, it's just a test, and there are so many rules.

Later, it was too late, and Liu Ming said that Gongzi would not come back, so I had to wash up and go to bed.

Still asleep, I felt a trace of coolness on my body, I opened my eyes in a daze and saw a figure lifting my quilt, I woke up in an instant, and I grabbed the quilt and was about to shout angrily, but I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Ah Ping.

He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw me wake up suddenly, and then looked at the quilt that was being dragged by the two of us, "Daughter-in-law, don't you want your husband to go to bed?" I chuckled, loosened the quilt, took his hand and sat down, and asked with a smile, "Where did you learn to be a husband?" I can't talk well, it sounds awkward. ”

He pulled the corners of his mouth uncomfortably and didn't refute it, looking a little naïve. It's been a while since I've seen him cute and stupid, and I find that I still miss him a little.
