Although Zhixin hides all the past in her heart, she always shows it bit by bit. Chunlan is a personal maid, how can she not see it? However, he is just a maidservant, so how can he help? I can only understand her suffering, but I can't solve her difficulties. Now that the opportunity has come, it seems that the doctor is going to give it a go, how can he help himself?

At that moment, Chunlan helped Zhixin up, pulled the peony aside, and smiled softly: "Peony, how many years have you and I followed the doctor, how does the doctor treat us?" ”

"Needless to say, the Doctor is very generous to us, like a sister." Peony Road.

Chunlan nodded: "That's right." It is a great favor for a master to treat his subordinates as sisters. Since the Doctor has been so kind to us, we have nowhere to report it, so we can only ask for this matter, why don't you help? ”

Peony hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't help. If it's anything else, it's okay to be a cow or a horse, but it's really not trivial! ”

"It's just that you are needed for this matter. Think about it, whether the girl is in the Shi family or the harem, she knows a lot of people, why do she want you to help, isn't it because she can't trust others? If it weren't for the unavoidable hardship, how could she, a dignified lady and a harem doctor, kneel down for you? ”

Peony suddenly felt a little aggrieved: "You say this, as if I am too unkind." I've promised to help the doctor, but I don't know her purpose. ”

"If you want to help her, why do you know her purpose? The doctor has been in Shifu for so many years, and in the eyes of others, the scenery is infinite, only you and I know that she has a hard time. If the doctor doesn't say, we don't have to ask. It is also for your own good, and the more you know, the greater your guilt will be in the future if something bad happens; On the other hand, if you don't know anything, maybe you can forgive you for not knowing. I advise you so, you may think that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't have a backache when I stand and talk. I also thought about it, when you come back with the letter, don't just say that it was given to me in the name of a girl, firstly, it can hide people's eyes, and secondly, it will involve me, and everyone will bear this role together, and it will not be in vain that I followed the doctor. ”

Having said this, Peony was greatly moved, her nose was sour, and she was even a little embarrassed, so she put her worries aside and gave Zhixin a big gift again. Zhixin took two jade beads for her as travel expenses, and the three of them took precautions and said goodbye.

got rid of Qiu Shoutai and other corrupt officials, and Ruyin really became much more politically clear. The newly appointed Ruyin Taishou is relatively honest, coupled with Qiu Shoutai's previous experience, he knows that there are two Ruyin scholars in the court, which is very good, where do you dare to do it? All political affairs are fair and clear, and there are no unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, let alone corruption and malpractice.

After confiscating Qiu Shoutai and others, the imperial court granted special permission and did not enter the treasury, and used these embezzled money to make up all the salaries of all the assistant teachers of the school, and the surplus was scattered to the widows and widows in the whole county.

Ruoxin has been a teaching assistant for so many years at a young age, without regrets, without changing her original intention, and is very respected by the villagers. In addition, his father died in a taxi accident when he was young, and he took care of his sick mother diligently and kept filial piety for his mother, and his reputation has spread. In the investigation and prosecution of Qiu Shoutai this time, he was even more fearless of power, took the risk to take the lead in testifying, and made meritorious contributions. As a result, after Shu Yan, Xia Tingchang recommended filial piety again, and the new Taishou did a good thing, Ruoxin was promoted as the current Ruyin filial piety, and he will go to Ruyin County to serve as a secretary in the near future, and Shujiazhuang Zhenxue hired another assistant teacher.

The new teaching assistant has not yet arrived, and Ruoxin is still acting for the time being. On this day, he was teaching the Analects, when he suddenly saw a woman come in from outside the door, knocking on the door with a foreign accent and asking, "Is this Dr. Shu's house?" ”

Shujiazhuang is a small place, and apart from the passenger boats passing by in the Ru River, few outsiders come to the village. The study here is even more irrelevant to the outside world, and it is really unexpected that a woman from a foreign country suddenly came. Ruoxin hurriedly went out and arched her hand: "This is exactly it." May I ask where this sister is from, and who are you looking for? ”

Peony knew that she had found the right place, so she looked at Ruoxin and found that the young man in front of her was gentle and elegant, with a delicate appearance, and she was very similar to Zhixin. Although the age looks a little younger, it doesn't look like a cousin, but it looks like a cousin, but age is only for reference, it's normal to have a tender face and an older face, so it must be the cousin that the doctor said.

"I'm from Luoyang, and I'm here to find your ancestors and grandchildren. I don't know if Dr. Shu is at home? ”

"He's been dead for years."

Peony heard Zhixin explain that Dr. Shu was old and didn't know if he was still alive, so she was not surprised, "Oh, the old doctor is really dead, as long as you have to meet your son." ”

Ruoxin looked at this person's outfit, covered in silk clothes, but it was tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved, and it was a simple fat powder hairpin ring, which was neither like ordinary women's makeup, nor like the noble lady of the Houmen family, because she asked: "I don't know my sister, I don't know what my sister is looking for me?" ”

Seeing that Ruoxin was a little confused, Peony smiled and said: "Childe doesn't have to be suspicious, of course you and I are plain in life, just because my master has been a doctor of the Five Classics in Taixue, and he is an old friend of Grandfather Ling, and he has not seen each other for more than 20 years, and he is worried." It just so happened that there was an errand in the government to go to Jingzhou this year, so he ordered me to come to Ruyin to inquire and inquire. ”

Ruoxin heard that she was from Luoyang, she thought she was sent by Brother Yan, and she heard her say that Dr. Taixue, and she was also very right, the uncle of the Shu family was indeed a doctor of Taixue in Luoyang, so she asked: "I don't know my sister's surname, which house is it?" ”

Peony smiled: "Since Dr. Shu is no longer there, it is useless to tell you, you can just call me Peony." ”

Ruoxin originally wanted to tell the other party her true identity, but the other party didn't say which mansion she was from, she only said her name casually, and she couldn't believe it, so she hid her identity. I was thinking about whether to invite this strange woman into the room to make tea for reception, but I didn't expect the other party to ask first: "Can you come into the hall and have a look?" ”

"Caotang is cold, if you don't dislike it, of course you can."

Peony stepped into the room and found that it was indeed a family with four walls, and she couldn't complain about the doctor. Suddenly, I saw those schoolchildren and was surprised: "Why are there so many children in your family?" ”

"This place has been changed to Xuxue, I am a teaching assistant, and these are my students."

"I see. I can't complain that the son looks so extraordinary. Apart from these students, did Childe have a wife, and was there no one else in the family? ”

"I haven't married a wife yet, I'm the only one in the family, and there is no one else."

"That's great, why don't you go to Luoyang, so as not to suffer in this remote place?"

Ruoxin saw that this woman was dressed very decently, but her speech was a little unruly. "I'm doing well here, what are you doing in Luoyang?"

"Defect to my master, I guarantee that it is a hundred times stronger than here."

"My husband is poor and can't be moved, I can be self-reliant, why do I need help from others!"

Peony said secretly: This person not only looks similar to my doctor, but also has the same high temper. "Childe has a noble character and is admirable. However, when I came, my master repeatedly told me that if the old doctor had passed away, he must ask his son to go to Luoyang, and there was an important matter to explain. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's a matter of confidentiality, and the master didn't tell me, so I can only have an interview with my son."

Ruoxin hesitated for a moment, not knowing if what this strange woman said was true or not. But I thought about it again: No matter if it's true or not, you don't have to just run for this matter, anyway, after raising filial piety, you will have to go to Luoyang to try. This woman originally came to find Brother Yan, and after I arrived in Luoyang, I told Brother Yan that he would deal with it.

"Well, I promise you."

Peony was a little worried when she saw Ruoxin hesitating at first, but she didn't expect to agree, so she said happily: "Childe is really happy, since you have agreed, you have to agree on a date and place, so that I can inform my master to receive you." ”

"It's not an agreement. If my sister tells me which house it is, I can come and visit, otherwise how can I make an agreement? Luoyang City is so big, is it all due to coincidence? ”

Peony also wants to agree on a specific location, in Shifu? It's too late to hide; In the harem? Of course it's even more impossible. "Uh...... Let's put the location first, and let's determine the date first. ”

"Nor can a date be agreed."

"Huh? If you can't agree on a date and place, isn't that the same as saying it in vain? ”

Ruoxin knew that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, I have been promoted to the filial piety of the county, and I will take up a post in the county in the near future." If you pass, you will go to Luoyang to take the test, the specific date can not be determined, at least a few months, at most it will not exceed a year. ”

Peony was amazed when she heard that Ruoxin was filial piety, and if she told the doctor about this, the doctor would be very happy. "It turned out to be filial piety and honesty, disrespectful and disrespectful. If you want to go to Beijing to take the test, you must go to the Ministry of Officials, and it will be easy to do it if you have a fixed place, and then you will be found in the filial piety. It's just that this date is too long. ”

"There is no way to do this, this is a major matter of the court, and I can't make the decision myself. If my sister doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do. ”

Peony thought about it, and that's all it had to be. said goodbye to Ruoxin at the moment, and immediately wrote a letter to Chunlan after returning, which Chunlan forwarded to Zhixin.

If this matter were to be changed to Chunlan going to Ruyin, maybe it wouldn't have gone wrong. Peony was originally a sloppy person, and she was not as careful as Chunlan, so she didn't inquire deeply to understand, so she mistook Ruoxin for Shu Yan and gave it to Zhixin.

Zhixin received the letter and read it, and learned that her sweetheart was still alone, and she was also held up as filial piety, and she was going to come to Luoyang to test it soon, and she was overjoyed, and she couldn't be more happy. As soon as this joy was excited, he immediately burst into tears, crying uncontrollably. Since then, I haven't been able to sleep at night, and I have been inquiring about the news of filial piety and incorruptibility every day.

Some people died, but not completely......
