Haitang and Zhou Wenjun ran across the slate bridge, and when they reached the opposite side of the stream, they saw Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun standing under the two wax plum trees with strange faces.

Wu Qiong looked panicked, and shook her head again and again to say that it was okay, but as soon as she finished speaking, tears fell.

Zhou Wenjun, as the oldest of the girls present, had the responsibility of taking care of all the girls at the banquet, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Wu Qiong's injuries when he saw this. Begonia landed behind her, and carefully observed the ground where Wu Qiong fell, which was a slightly sloping grass. It's still early spring in Chang'an, and the young grass has just grown a short section, which can't cover the entire slope, but Wu Qiong is just a large patch of tender grass under him, with thick soil underneath, and no gravel roots. She's not tall, and if she falls here, she will at most stain her new dress, and she won't hurt herself.

How could she still cry? Could it be that he is used to being pampered in Beijing and can't stand even a small wrestling?

Haitang glanced at the expressions on Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun's faces a few more times, and saw that they were not so much worried about Wu Qiong's injury, or weak in their hearts because they were in trouble, but rather they were switching between embarrassment and shock repeatedly......

Zhou Wenjun helped Wu Qiong up, Zhou Wanjun took a hand beside her, and saw that she had no external injuries, but her legs were weak, as if she couldn't even stand, and she was a little uneasy, for fear that she would really fall out.

At this time, Zhou Yijun took a few mothers-in-law and came over on a stretcher to carry Wu Qiong back to her residence. Wu Qiong hurriedly collected her tears, and repeatedly said that she didn't care, but she was scared, just sit down and rest, there is no need to work and move the crowd, let the elders know that they are worried, Yunyun.

In order to prove that she was really fine, she also broke free from the support of Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Wanjun's cousins, and walked a few steps on the slope alone, and sure enough, she walked as usual without any signs of injury.

Zhou Wenjun was puzzled. Since Wu Qiong was not injured, why did Fang Cai look unstable on her feet? Is it really too delicate? My brothers can't marry such a daughter-in-law, and they can't rest assured that they will be stationed outside the border in the future.

She sent the mother-in-law away, pulled Zhou Yijun and Zhou Wanjun, and the three of them surrounded Wu Qiong, and welcomed people back to the water pavilion to sit and talk, not daring to let this coquettish guest walk around in the garden again, what if she turned around and fell again?

Zhou Huajun and Zhou Xuejun, the two little girls, followed quietly behind, but they refused to enter the water pavilion for a long time, only looked at each other, hesitating.

Seeing this, Begonia whispered, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you go into the cabinet? But did you do something wrong? ”

Zhou Xuejun was more familiar with her, and replied in a low voice: "Sister Hai, we really didn't bully Sister Wu just now, it was her own wrestling!" Sister Wanjun was present to see clearly, and she didn't mean to accuse us. But we feel so embarrassed...... She probably doesn't want to see us now, does she? What if she remembers Fang Cai's gaffe and sees us crying? ”

Although Zhou Huajun was not familiar with Haitang, he knew that the Hai family was an old subordinate of his father, General Wednesday, and did not see her: "Sister Wu cries a few more times, and her mother should suspect us of bullying her." Even if we take advantage of it, her mother is not a reasonable person. Looking back, my grandmother, aunt, my mother and aunts will only make us pay for it in order to settle the matter. Then how aggrieved we are! We're just talking about homely things, and we really didn't provoke her! ”

Haitang was a little curious: "Then what were you talking about at the time?" She looks like she's frightened, that's why she wrestles, right? ”

Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun glanced at each other again, revealing that embarrassed expression again.

Zhou Xuejun motioned to Haitang to bend down, and the latter did so, and heard her whisper in her ear: "I just sighed to Sister Huajun, saying that I was reluctant to brother...... I want to follow my father and mother to Beijing, but my brother is likely to go to Ningxia Zhongwei for training. I don't know how many years it will take to see each other again. I felt sad in my heart, so I spit out my bitterness with Sister Huajun......"

Haitang raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Huajun. Zhou Huajun nodded with a wry smile and whispered, "I also heard that Mrs. Gui wants to marry Sister Wu to Brother Yijun." The fourth aunt said that they were going to enter Beijing, and they were afraid of inconvenience. Mrs. Gui said that it is better, because Sister Wu grew up in the capital, and she is more accustomed to living there, if she can return to her hometown, it is also blessed by her ancestors, and she, as a mother, can also follow the light, and in the future, relying on her daughter and son-in-law, she can also go back to worship her ancestors. The fourth aunt was speechless for a long time, and she really couldn't nod her head in agreement......"

Zhou Xuejun also whispered: "It was for this reason that my brother took the initiative to tell my grandfather that he was willing to go to the border city in advance to practice." At present, the place has not yet been decided, but it is nothing more than Gan, Su Erzhou, or Ningxia Zhongwei, there are uncles and uncles of the family, and they are not afraid that no one will take care of them. Who knew that as soon as Sister Wu heard our words, her face changed greatly......"

I see. Wu Qiong was influenced by her mother and Mrs. Gui, and thought that she could marry Zhou Yijun, but she didn't expect him to go to the border city to practice. If she can't say anything about her family, if she insists on forcing this marriage, she may have to follow Zhou Yijun to the border, how can Wu Qiong, who has been pampered in the harem and backhouse since she was a child, accept it? No wonder she fell in shock. The tears that followed also came from this, right? It didn't really hurt.

Zhou Wenjun doesn't know what happened yet, but Zhou Wanjun must have a plan in his heart when he saw the end from the beginning.

Haitang didn't say much, but said to Zhou Xuejun and Zhou Huajun: "If you don't enter the pavilion, it may make people misunderstand that you are weak-hearted." It's better for you to take the initiative to explain this matter to the elders, even if you turn back to your wife and misunderstand and make a fuss, the elders of your family will know that you are innocent. ”

Zhou Huajun was a little disapproving: "Which time are the elders not clear that we are innocent?" But they don't want Mrs. Gui to make trouble, and they will make us give in after all. ”

Zhou Xuejun took her hand and said, "Sister Huajun, let's go talk about it." My brother was forced by their mother and daughter to invite himself to go to the border city in advance to practice, why should I bear the blame for them? It's a big deal, let's spread things out and explain it. My brother has nothing to do with Sister Wu, Sister Wu was frightened and fell, she didn't know how to respect herself, so she has nothing to do with us! Whoever accuses us, we are justified! If Mrs. Gui wants to make trouble, I will make trouble with her, and everyone in Chang'an City will know about it! ”

Mrs. Gui is bent on marrying her daughter into the Zhenguo Mansion, and she also wants to marry the children of the valued Yanzhi, if not, then marry the children of the famous and powerful Jiangmen family in Chang'an City. If Zhou Xuejun really wants to make a big deal, Wu Qiong's reputation will definitely be affected, and in the future, except for Zhou Yijun, it will be difficult to discuss marriage with other young talents. If Mrs. Gui knew the severity, she would naturally not be entangled any longer.

Zhou Xuejun is young, but he can see the situation very clearly.

Haitang didn't say anything, sent the two little girls away with a smile, turned around and entered the water pavilion, and told Zhou Wenjun: "Xuejun and they are worried that Miss Wu has just fallen and injured herself, and there will be trouble, so she went to report to the elders and said that she would ask for a doctor for Miss Wu!" ”

Zhou Wenjun felt that this was better, more secure. But before her head could be nodd, Wu Qiong stood up, her face turned white: "No, no!" I'm really fine! I don't have to see a doctor! Don't tell the ladies ......"

Although Zhou Wenjun doesn't like her temperament, she is also a responsible person. She forcibly pressed Wu Qiong back to her seat: "Don't be polite to our sisters." You just fell so painfully, you cried, it's better to ask a doctor to take a look, what if you hurt your muscles and bones? You feel okay now, and then you have a seizure, and you feel good! ”

Wu Qiong couldn't break free, couldn't get up, her face was red for a while, white for a while, and she wanted to cry again.
