Cai Baiwei put Hua Youen to sleep, and when she came to the inner courtyard and saw that the east wing was still lit, she walked in with some worry.

Seeing her daughter holding a thick book, she couldn't help but be concerned: "You've been tired all day, how can you still have time to read, rest early, there will be time in the future." ”

"I'll go to sleep after a while."

Hua Rujin raised her eyes and looked at her.

Cai Baiwei herself doesn't know a few words, but she has gained more knowledge over the years by following Hua Junnian to the north and south, and when she saw the title of the book, she couldn't help frowning: "How do you think about reading the law of the great cause?" ”

"I think it's because Ye Gongzi thinks that I lack common sense in law, so he sent me these books, and I can't live up to the good intentions of others, so I just read it."

Hua Rujin said casually.

Although he called her a mother, his closeness to her was far from reaching the point where blood was thicker than water.

Counting it up, most of them are ingredients for acting on the spot, and it is impossible to put it in your heart.

Moreover, she has never felt real family affection since she was a child, and she has never been envious, as if she can't feel what that taste is like.

"Ye Gongzi has a heart."

Cai Baiwei answered, seeing that her daughter was reading a book attentively, she didn't want to go to her room, and she couldn't bear to disturb anymore, so she had to turn around and leave.

When he closed the door, he earnestly advised, "Then don't stay up too late." ”

"Okay."

Hua Rujin watched her leave, and then continued to look through the book in her hand.

It just so happens that I went to Dou's house these days to study "Household Marriage" thoroughly.

I don't know how long I watched it, until sleepiness hit, and she finally couldn't stay up and lay down.

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn, I opened my eyes and looked at the folded paper in the book next to my pillow, and hurriedly flattened the paper carefully, and closed the book with some distress.

After all, it is not as easy to buy a book as it was in my own time, so I have to take care of it.

got up and looked around the house, and then went to the two west wings to inspect it, but found nothing abnormal, so I went to the front yard to fetch water, wash my face and rinse my mouth, and eat the morning food made by Cai Baiwei.

......

On this day, she tried to calm her nervous thoughts, locked herself in the east wing and read, until the sun was about to set, then she packed her package and said goodbye to the family and went straight to the county office.

On the way, I secretly bought two roast ducks and a few packets of pear blossom cakes, wrapped them tightly in the store, and stuffed them into the package.

And Shu Jinxuan also found a good excuse, under the pretext of preparing to place medicinal materials in the miscellaneous room, Hua Junnian and Cai Baiwei and his wife needed to help sort the medicinal materials, and took a few classics from the carriage to record medicinal materials to teach the couple to know medicine, and prepared to accompany their uncle and aunt for the next few days.

After the coachman of the Shu family sent Hua Rujin to the county office, he turned back.

As soon as Hua Rujin got out of the carriage, she saw the old housekeeper of the Dou family greet her with a smile, and her eyes narrowed into a line: "The young lady really kept her promise, please, please." ”

Hua Rujin glanced at the sedan chair parked at the entrance of the county yamen and the sassy pen shadow standing under the slanting sun, walked over slowly, and after a short eye contact with Ye Chengwei, she resolutely stepped into the sedan chair of the Dou family.

Then I only heard Gu Langxi's yin and yang weird tone sounding outside the sedan chair: "Lord Zhixian made a wise decision, and thanked Lord Zhixian outside the next Dou Yuan." ”

"Get up."

The old butler gave an order, and the sedan chair swayed towards the southeast of the city.

Lu Xiuyuan stood beside Ye Chengwei in a daze, watching the Dou family leave proudly, gritting his teeth with hatred: "This Gu Langxi is too deceitful, and he will go directly to the Hua family to pick him up, but he wants to make such a show in the county office, and he simply doesn't take the adult in his eyes." ”

The corners of Ye Chengwei's cold mouth curled slightly, and a strange smile appeared, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

......

Hua Rujin was taken back to Dou's house and sent to the west cross courtyard where the original owner lived, but she didn't see Dou Yue, only after nightfall, the girl in the house sent some food and fresh water.

said it was food, but in fact, it was just a plate of green mulberry leaves, and nothing else.

"Just let me eat these?"

Hua Rujin looked at the girl in front of her with disgust.

The little girl replied with sincere fear: "Third young lady, this is what the master ordered." ”

"Let's get out."

After Hua Rujin took the girl away, she hurriedly closed the door.

Fortunately, I had prepared for it, and the mulberry leaves were eaten with roast duck to relieve the greasy.

She rolled the roast duck with mulberry leaves and chewed slowly, while contemplating:

From this point of view, there is no doubt that Dou Yue wants to use himself to complete the ceremony.

It's just that you have to eat mulberry leaves in the house for three days, this is not to starve people to the point of yellow skin and thin muscles.

Looking at the roast duck left in the package, she couldn't help but sigh softly:

If only there was a refrigerator or something on this hot day.

cough, other people's families have traveled to various eras with hundreds of billions of materials and space golden fingers, but my aunt and grandmother have become a naked person, and I am really worthy of this orphan's background.

If I hadn't brought my brain to this world, I really don't know how many times I would have died.

Daddy of the system, look at the poor child.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for any reaction from the surroundings, so she had to bring another roast duck and eat it with mulberry leaves and fresh water.

After that, he kept burping and quickly hid a few packets of pear blossom cake, which was the ration for the next three days.

Wrapped the leftover bones and stuffed them under the bed, took out "Household Marriage" and sat at the coffee table by the candlelight in the room and continued to read it.

I don't know how long it took, the girl in the house came in to clean up the house, smelled an inexplicable fragrance, and looked at the young lady who kept burping on the coffee table, with a blank face.

"Oh, the first time I ate mulberry leaves, I choked up."

Hua Rujin saw that the little girl had been staring at herself, and she covered the burp overflowing from her mouth and explained unhurriedly.

"The slave has prepared warm water, and the young lady should rest early after bathing."

The little girl put away the dishes on the table in disbelief.

Although he knew that the young lady was going to be martyred for the third son, he didn't know why the old man confessed that he only let the young lady eat mulberry leaves and drink dew.

If you want people's lives, don't let people be starving ghosts.

They are all from poor backgrounds, and the little girl retreats after finishing the house with the mentality that more things are better than less things.

Waiting for the girls to prepare hot water, Hua Rujin bathed and changed into pajamas and continued to read after lying on the bed.

The next few days were calm, and there was no wind and grass in the house, until the afternoon of the third day, when an old woman came to the house and brought a red wedding dress.

Hua Rujin knew that tonight was the last day, she calmly waited for the old mother and the girls to finish dressing up, and sat quietly in front of the dressing table and looked at the face reflected in the mirror.

It's really like a hibiscus and willow like an eyebrow.

"What a beautiful wedding dress, it's a pity that ......"

Hua Rujin sighed secretly, and saw the old lady bring a bowl of water and hand it to her: "This is for the young lady to see her off, and the young lady is invited to drink this bowl of morning dew." ”

Didn't you just eat mulberry leaves and drink water?

But then it occurred to them that they must have done something to hide from others so that they could be sent to their destination without them knowing.

So this bowl of water is probably different from what it is on a regular day.

She pretended to be obedient and took the water in her mouth, and made a fake swallowing motion.

The old lady looked at her intently for a long time, and then hesitated to take the empty bowl she was holding, and said uneasily: "The young lady is not to blame the old man for being ruthless, and the old man is just a subordinate. ”

Hua Rujin looked at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes gradually became gloomy and full of color.

The old lady was so frightened that her scalp tingled for a while, and led a few girls out of the house and closed the door.

Smelling the footsteps and walking away, Hua Rujin took out the towel and spit out the water wrapped in her mouth onto the towel and threw it under the bed.

It was already dark outside, Hua Rujin sat back in front of the dressing table and looked at the figure in the mirror, and suddenly the willow window behind the mirror moved.

"Who?"

She carefully picked up the teapot with water on the coffee table and quietly walked to the willow window.

"Miss Hua, it's me, Ting'an."

Smelling the familiar voice, Hua Rujin turned her head to look at the door, and saw that there was no movement, so she gently pushed the willow window open a little gap.

"This is what my son-in-law asked me to bring to Miss Hua, you hide it, saying that you may be able to use it when you reach a critical juncture."

Ting An hid in the corner of the wall, looking around.

Hua Rujin opened the thing wrapped in silk cloth, saw that it was an extremely sharp dagger, and asked hesitantly: "Your son-in-law knows that it is ...... tonight."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Ting An hurriedly nodded: "My son-in-law knows everything, and he will definitely appear when he says he should appear tonight." ”

"Okay, you can go back quickly."

Hua Rujin urged, heard movement outside the house, and then closed the willow window, stuffed the dagger into the thick wedding dress, and then lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
