Chapter 9: Reading Never Sleep
The news of Nanyu's awakening spread all over Nanfu, and the next day, Xue Wan and others came to the room to visit Nanyu.
Everyone rushed in, and Nan Yu saw Xue Zhaoyue who was following Xue Wan. Xue Zhaoyue has been in Nanfu these days, and her food and clothing are the same as Nanyu's, and her complexion is naturally much better, and she looks more and more beautiful with everyone's bearing.
"Pingzhen, you have really worried my mother to death in the past two days!" Xue Wan said and sat down on the edge of Nanyu's bed.
Seeing Nan Yu lying on the bed sick now, she couldn't stop feeling distressed in her heart, "Why is your father so ruthless and willing to punish you like this!" ”
When Xue Wan mentioned Nanyuan Mountain, she complained with a stomach, "After all, you are his daughter, and you can also give such a heavy hand!" ”
"Mother, these are all flesh wounds, and they will heal in a few days," Nan Yu comforted, in fact, after applying the ointment given by Chu Jihan last night, the pain in her body has dissipated a lot, at least not as unbearable as before.
Nan Yu raised her eyes and saw Xue Zhaoyue's gaze roaming around her room, as if she was looking for something, Nan Yu sneered in her heart, it seems that Chu Jihan guessed well.
Finding that Nanyu was looking at her, Xue Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Cousin, you have been asleep in bed for the past three days, and your aunt is very relieved of you. ”
"Really?" Nan Yu didn't answer, raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, "Not only is my mother concerned about my injury, but cousin, you also care a lot about me." ”
"Your cousin has visited you a few times halfway, and you were still in a coma at that time, and you also know that Zhaoyue has a cold face and a warm heart, and she doesn't like to say these words of concern," Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Xue Wan took the initiative to play a round, although she didn't know what was going on, she still hoped that the two children could get along well.
When Xue Zhaoyue heard Xue Wan's words, she lowered her head instead, as if she had been wronged, seeing her like this, Nan Yu couldn't say anything more.
Xue Wan told Nanyu to take care of her body again, and when she saw that she was not physically strong, she left her room.
Before leaving, Xue Zhaoyue's back in a purple-clothed streamer made Nanyu feel a strange sense of familiarity.
Watching them go out of the house, Nanyu was relieved. took out the ointment given by Chu Jihan, and applied a thin layer on the whip marks, she didn't dare to use too much at one time, this time she used too much, and there was less left after giving it, she didn't know when Chu Jihan would come again, so she had to save it.
The cool touch alleviated the burning sensation that rose on his back again, and Nanyu let out a long breath, able to distract himself from analyzing where the familiar feeling just now came from.
She could almost confirm that Xue Zhaoyue was the deceased in her previous life, but where did she meet her?
With Xue Zhaoyue's family background, he will definitely not be able to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, Nan Yu analyzed, if we have met in Yongzhou, my father is the envoy of the festival, and the second uncle's family will definitely come to visit, and I will definitely have an impression.
If there is no memory, then it will be encountered later, except for the cities of Yongzhou and the capital, the place I have been to is the cities that passed through on the way from the capital to Qingzhou.
Where is it? Nanyu followed the route of exile, recalling little by little, but as she deepened the details of her memories step by step, a pang of colic came from her heart, followed by a whirling dizziness.
"Vomit, vomit ......", Nan Yu leaned on the edge of the bed and retched.
She barely stood up and gave herself a good breath, and as the time she spent back on earth extended, the pain and dizziness in her heart intensified every time she tried to recall the details of her past life.
"Maybe it's because of the twilight technique," the twilight technique has been forbidden since ancient times, and the cost of performing it is extremely high, and no one has ever recorded the experience of the successful use of the twilight technique. The caster has sunk into hell, and there are very few teleporters who have teleported to different planes and planes, and the recorded experience is nowhere to be found.
Nanyu drank all the medicinal soup that Xiangru brought in, and slowly fell asleep, what she needed most at the moment was to replenish her physical strength.
On the fifth day, although Nan Yuanshan did not show up by himself, he sent someone to bring a bowl of ginseng soup to Nanyu, and when the ginseng soup was delivered to Nanyu, it was still warm.
Nanyu drank the ginseng soup spoonful by spoonful in front of the maid, handed the bowl to her and said no more, the maid saw that Nanyu had no sadness or joy on her face, and the whole process did not make it difficult for her, so she hurriedly put the bowl and spoon away and retreated.
Nan Yu calculated in her heart that it was time.
At night, Nanyu was still sick and rested in the bedroom, not eating with everyone, and when the moon was in the treetops, she casually wore a concubine-colored gown, loosely draped a cloak, picked up the candlestick with wax from the table, and walked to the study of Nanyuan Mountain.
Nan Yuanshan was still working, and he was quite surprised to see Nan Yu coming. Today, I heard the maid reply that Nan Yu didn't say much after drinking the ginseng soup, and his guilt for impulsively implementing family law to Nan Yu was alleviated.
In his eyes, Nanyu was still a ten-year-old child, who had been whipped ten times and in a coma for three days, and he was already relieved that he could not be angry with him.
But when he saw Nan Yu coming this time, although his face was still pale and his lips were almost bloodless, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in this little girl's gourd for a while.
"Dad, my daughter came here today to talk to you, and since you came to the capital, you and I have never talked about it again," Nanyu said.
Hearing Nan Yu say this, Nan Yuanshan closed the official documents on the table, piled them aside, and said, "Your trip is just in time, and my father also wants to talk to you." ”
"Let's wait for the rest of the official documents to be approved after the talks," Nan Yuanshan thought.
"Dad, do you remember this candlestick?" Nan Yu said, and put the candlestick on Nan Yuanshan's desk.
The desk was illuminated by two candles, and the elongated shadows under the official documents were shortened much in an instant.
"Of course Dad remembers, it was given to you by Dad on your eighth birthday." Nan Yuanshan looked at the beautifully carved candlestick in front of him, and his eyes softened a lot.
As early as Wanying, Nanyu's lively and active children don't like to read very much, but they are full of interest in other things, and in order to guide Nanyu to read, he will tell Nanyu an allusion every night after his official duties.
He still remembers that when he told the story of "Reading at Night with Candles", Nanyu's excited eyes were shining, and this was the first time he saw her full of interest in reading.
"The light of the candle, which is the right thing to do?" Nanyu said this softly, her eyes full of nostalgia.
"It's only since you told me this story that I've really developed an interest in reading, and I'm determined to read all the books in your bookcase," Nanyu said, her tone full of nostalgia as she spoke of the past.
"Later, your official duties became more and more heavy, and the time to accompany me to study became less and less, and then you gave me a few books related to "Nu Virtue" and asked me to read them by myself, so you didn't come to accompany me."
Hearing this, Nan Yuanshan was silent.
Nan Yu continued, "You say that I don't read, and I am stubborn, in fact, I come to the study every day to read your collection of books when you go to the court, and then put the books back in their places before you come back from the next court," said this, Nan Yu's eyes were full of grievances, "My daughter is not a gentleman, but her ambition is not here." ”
Hearing Nan Yu's monologue, Nan Yuanshan's heart was a little shaken. Nanyu is his child, he watched Nanyu grow up all the way, after coming to the capital, he rarely had time to accompany their mother and daughter, Nanyu became mature overnight, he had mixed feelings in his heart, both relieved and distressed.
But he also knows that Nan Yu is simple and kind by nature, and sometimes even a little reckless, and the intrigue in the officialdom is difficult for her to withstand.
However, her visit this time shows that she can understand her own difficulties, and she has made a lot of progress than before.
"From the scriptures you quoted that day, Dad can guess whether you have been studying recently, but Dad still punished you, do you know why?"
"My daughter dared to guess that there are two reasons why you punished me, one is that although my daughter is studying, she has not read the homework you assigned, and I don't know when you test my homework, and the other is that my daughter should be with you during this time, promising to do her homework well, but she has not fulfilled her promise."
Hearing this, Nan Yuanshan looked at Nan Yu with a hint of appreciation, "It's good to be able to reflect on yourself, instead of being immersed in anger and regret, and not blaming the elders for not understanding their actions, and not angering their subordinates." ”
Nan Yuanshan then asked, "Since you know what you are wrong with, why do you insist on confronting your father that day?" ”
"If I continue to cater to you as before, you will only think that I am convinced, and you will not believe that I am really unwilling to marry, and that Qin Tianjian is about to recruit students, and only through this move will you feel my determination to become a female official." ”
Under the dim candlelight, Nanyu's eyes were clear, "In order to show her determination, my daughter is willing to be punished." ”
Seeing that Nan Yu was so resolute, Nan Yuanshan asked, "You said that you want to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison as a female official, then do you know the duties of a female official?" ”
"Female officials should assist the local government and educate the people. Female officials from different faculties have different responsibilities, and if they are from Qin Tianjian, they should record the celestial phenomena, take charge of the time, take advantage of good fortune and evil, and also take on the responsibility of chanting sutras. ”
"Then do you know what an assistant government is? When a helpless woman comes to you for revenge, she is teased by the powerful and sued to the yamen, but the county government is afraid of the powerful and cannot enforce the law impartially, what should you do? ”
Nanyu pondered for a moment and replied, "If the daughter's local facial features are Lingtailang, the daughter will first appease the woman, then collect evidence, hand over the evidence to the county government, and ask the county government to make a decision." ”
"What should you do if the county government still doesn't respond in the face of conclusive evidence?"
"If that's the case, my daughter will bring the evidence and tell the governor."
"If this powerful man has his hands and eyes to the sky, what can the governor do?"
The daughter can follow Ji Yun's example, take down this person first, put him in prison, and insist that he is not the magnate himself, but the fox and the fake tiger of the chicken and dog thief. He despised women, knew that he was wrong, and resolutely did not dare to reveal his identity in the court. ”
Looking at his daughter's cunning eyes, Nan Yuanshan shook his head with a smile, "Do you know that the day the powerful are released from prison is the time when you throw away your black hat?" ”
"If my daughter acts above board and has outstanding political achievements, what are you afraid of him doing? He wanted me to lose my black hat, and he had to ask the people if they agreed. ”
"You think lightly, or you have a child's heart. You are just a Lingtai man with facial features, he wants you to lose your black gauze hat, and casually charge you with a crime and take away your official position, who will avenge your grievances and complain for you? ”
"My daughter is not afraid, the Sheng Dynasty has a vast territory and hundreds of officials, and there are always honest and fair colleagues who will avenge her daughter and make his evil deeds public!"
Nan Yu's demeanor in front of him was exactly the same as when he first joined the office, Nan Yuanshan thought about it, and his thoughts returned to twenty years ago.
At that time, he was full of ambition to step into the officialdom, determined to do a great career and be a good official who left a name in history, but in the same year, the Sheng Dynasty had an unjust case that no one dared to mention until now, which completely changed his view of officialdom.
Nan Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell her about it, some things must be remembered. He said slowly, "Pingzhen, Dad will give you another story, if you listen to this story, you still want to be a female official, Dad will not stop you." ”
