Ye Xiucai walked to the door with the corners of his mouth raised, and said softly: "Miss Lin, I'll send you a cloth towel, be careful of the cold." ”

A cold voice suddenly came from behind him: "My sister's affairs, don't worry about Ye Xiucai." ”

Ye Xiucai was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a noble lady wearing a cloak, with a solemn look on her face, which made people feel awe-inspired.

The woman's lower abdomen bulged and she should have been pregnant for six or seven months.

The woman called Lin Zhiqing her sister, could she be the rumored owner of Chu Village, Chu Xiangling, who inherited all the property of the Yun family in the Great Qi Kingdom?

Ye Xiucai was both excited and flustered in his heart.

His eyes glanced at the swamp behind Xiangling, who was wilting and drooping.

Ye Xiucai was stunned and said, "Nu'er, you, you didn't go to buy paper?" What about the children in a hurry? If you like it, I'll ..... it myself."

Ye Xiucai sighed, as if he was helpless, and limped outside the hospital.

Qiao'er came in from outside the courtyard, holding a change of clothes in her hand, and said with a cold face: "What is Ye Xiucai anxious about?" Is it to run? ”

Ye Xiucai said with an angry face: "Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the servant is rude!" ”

Ye Xiucai looked at Chu Xiangling, dressed in white and shengxue, and said solemnly: "Madam, what do you mean by this?" Is it to deceive others? It is necessary to know the truth of 'snobbery is prosperous for a while, and disaster is reversed when it is over'. ”

Qiao'er crossed Ye Xiucai, went straight to the door, and glanced at Ye Xiucai when she passed by, as if she was looking at a fool, and Ye Xiucai's heart was furious.

Qiao'er walked to the door, knocked on the door and said, "Miss Lin, Madam asked the slave maid to bring you new clothes." ”

Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but be surprised, he never expected Qiao'er to find herself, Qiao'er had never left her cousin's side, and she must have come to her cousin-in-law Chu Xiangling.

Lin Zhiqing reluctantly opened the door, looked at Chu Xiangling, and muttered an explanation: "Cousin-in-law, I came to Yizhuang to help these poor teenagers, I only teach them to go to class, write and write, and Ye Xiucai is innocent, there is no transgression, you don't tell your mother." ”

Xiangling glanced at the 'poor' children, and said to Lin Zhiqing word by word: "All young people under the age of fourteen can apply to live in Yihezhuang." Yihezhuang is subsidized by Baiying Inn all the year round, and it is provided to leave the village at the age of 14 and assigned to work in Baiying Inn all over the country. These children were not taken in by Yihezhuang, it must be because they were unwilling to go, or Yihezhuang did not take them in. ”

Xiangling didn't pierce the last layer of window paper, but the implicit meaning is very clear, these teenagers either have a problem with their character, or they have a way to make a living, and they can't look down on the poor life of Yihezhuang at all.

Lin Zhiqing defended Ye Xiucai: "Cousin-in-law, these children have a friendship with Ye Xiucai, their hometown has suffered a disaster, their background is pitiful, and they haven't had time to go to Yihezhuang ......"

Xiangling said with a calm face: "Zhiqing, don't talk yet." I'll ask. ”

Xiangling turned to Ye Xiucai, about to break the casserole and asked, "May I ask who is Ye Xiucai's surname?" Where are the people? What kind of disaster has befallen my hometown? Drought? Flood? Or a plague of locusts? Or is it the pandemic? Did these teenagers flee together, are they fellow villagers? Kin? Or a relative? What kind of relatives are relatives, haunted by five suits......"

Ye Xiucai's head was dizzy when he heard this, and his head sweated all of a sudden, and it took a long time to ease his mind and reply: "No, the last name is Ye, the name is Yiqiu, my hometown is Beiqing County, Jiangbei, I am a cultivator, and I went to Beijing to prepare for the spring exam." In autumn, the autumn flood in Beiqing County, many farmers reduced their harvest, and the villagers could not eat enough, so they went south to take refuge. When I met them in the capital, I felt pity, and my body became less and less, so I simply moved to Yizhuang, where I lived and helped the children with their lessons. ”

The more Ye Xiucai spoke, the more embarrassed he became, and he lowered his head and refused to continue.

Sure enough, it sounds quite reasonable, and it seems that he is quite righteous and awe-inspiring, but Chu Xiangling is aggressive.

Xiangling squinted lightly, and suddenly said to Ye Xiucai: "Which village is your family from in Beiqing County, Jiangbei?" ”

Ye Yiqiu: "......"

Ye Yiqiu was stunned, he never expected Xiangling to ask so carefully, and blurted out: "Yuanhe Village." He remembered that one of his classmates had said the name of the village, and he blurted it out.

Xiangling looked at the teenagers with a sympathetic look and said, "You are all from Yuanhe Village? ”

The teenagers were stunned for a moment, then they all nodded.

Xiangling smiled mockingly: "It is true that the autumn flood in Beiqing County, Jiangbei Province has reduced the harvest in autumn, and among the two hundred and twelve villages under its rule, one hundred and eighty-one have all suffered from autumn floods, but there are still thirty-one remote villages that have achieved a bumper harvest, including Yuanhe Village." ”

Ye Yiqiu: "......"

Ye Yiqiu hurriedly defended: "Miss Lin, don't listen to their provocation, we are both Beiqing County, aren't we also villagers?" Am I going to die without help? ”

Xiangling was not in a hurry at all, and said to Qiao'er: "Pass the book to the Baiying Inn in Beiqing County, help me check the official status of Beiqing County, Ye Yiqiu, who is the person, how is the family background?" How is the character? Is it a move for the spring exam? ”

None of this is a problem for powerful people.

Ye Yiqiu's face became even more flustered.

Xiangling turned her head and asked Ye Yiqiu again: "Ye Xiucai, when did you arrive in the capital, which inn did you stay in, and where did you meet these hometown teenagers?" What did you buy when you ran out of money one day......"

As long as people have lived, there will be a trajectory left, and lies will be self-defeating.

Ye Yiqiu was muttering about how to answer, when Xiangling's ears suddenly heard a "click" in the room, and a small voice said, "Zhao Zhen, let's take them down, shall we?" ”

The other replied: "Liu Zhang, what are you panicking, wait!" Ye Shen has a smart brain, is good-looking, and his mouth will also say, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, besides, don't we still have a handle in our hands, Dali Siqing, the Ministry of Rites, and Shoufu, just take one out, and you have to sell us your life!! ”

Xiangling's eyes narrowed slightly, and then smiled at Ye Yiqiu: "Ye Xiucai is righteous and takes care of the villagers, it's me who is too worried, but because I am too worried about my cousin, I don't choose what to say, please forgive Ye Xiucai, it's not early today, so I won't bother anymore." ”

Xiangling suddenly took Lin Zhiqing's hand to leave, Lin Zhiqing instinctively wanted to resist, Xiangling frowned and said angrily: "Lin Zhiqing, you go with me first, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!" ”

Lin Zhiqing was a little cowardly at the moment of resistance, she was full of gratitude, admiration and admiration for Chu Xiangling, her cousin-in-law, how could there be any reason to be disobedient?

immediately followed in a gloomy manner, but he was very unwilling to defend himself: "Cousin-in-law, Ye Xiu is a good person, don't wronged him." ”

Xiangling almost gritted her teeth and said, "I, don't wronged him." ”

Xiangling and Lin Zhiqing sat in the same carriage and went straight to the county seat.
