This is outrageous.

After the voice fell, the whole yard suddenly fell silent, and the scene was awkward for a while.

The expressions on the faces of the master and servant outside the door were somewhat distorted, the eyelids of the young man called the young master twitched, and he cupped his hands and said: "This lady is joking, I and the servant are both from decent families, so we definitely won't do it. That's something insane."

Ruan Jiao snorted coldly, her face sullen, and her expression was a little displeased, "A few days ago, there was also a person who said he came to our house to beg for a bowl of water, and I kindly gave it to him, but in the end he not only hurt me and my mother-in-law, They also want to tie me up and sell them to the fence yard."

Ruan Jiao sized him up and down with distrustful eyes, and made him and his servant feel uncomfortable, so she snorted heavily.

"My husband is weak and sick, who knows what kind of plan you have! Forget it." She grabbed Pei Zhiheng's wide sleeves, and then tugged, "We won't go, it's such a cold day, Just show them the way, and let them find it by themselves, they are so strange when they say it.”

Ruan Jiao seemed to have discovered something suddenly, and said with a vigilant look on purpose: "Our house is not at the entrance of the village, and it can't compare with the blue brick and tile house of Li Zheng's house. Just these two dilapidated old houses, you are You shouldn’t choose our family for lodging, what is your purpose? It’s impossible to see that our family is too poor and plan to help the poor, right?”

Youth and servant: "..."

This Xinglin Village is remote, they tossed all the way here, they didn't even have to drink their saliva, and in order to appear real, they even broke the carriage to stay overnight.

As a result, they didn't even enter the door of their house, and now Ruan Jiao began to suspect her.

Pei Zhiheng couldn't hold back a low laugh, he clenched his fist against his lips and cleared his throat, "What my wife said is that we don't have any good things in our house, we don't even have extra rooms, there's nothing we can do When entertaining guests, no matter whether you are really staying overnight or pretending to be here, you go back along the original road. If you see a magnificent blue brick house, that is Lizheng's home. You are willing to give five taels of silver to Lizheng. Definitely won't refuse."

The young man smiled wryly, "We are really not bad people, why should we have such hostility towards us?"

Ruan Jiao raised the corners of her lips, her pretty face was blurred under the night, but her eyes were still surprisingly bright.

Her voice is very sweet, obviously soft and waxy, but she is not polite when she speaks, "A bad person will never admit that he is a bad person. As for hostility? If you want to blame, blame you and that bastard a while ago Something looks alike!"

After finishing speaking, Ruan Jiao showed a perfunctory smile to the young man and his servants, and then said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry."

Then she snatched the door panel from Pei Zhiheng's hand and slammed it shut.

The youth and servant outside the door: "..."

I don't see it at all, sorry, okay?

You at least put on a dress!

"Hurry up, hurry up, Husband, my trotters are getting cold, let's go back quickly." Ruan Jiao sneezed, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab Pei Zhiheng's wrist and drag him into the room.

At this moment, Pei Zhiheng also raised his hand, wanting to sweep the snow off her shoulders, the two hands touched together by accident.

The man's hand was much bigger than hers, and hotter than hers.

After being outside for such a short while, she felt cold at her fingertips.

His hands were dry and warm, Ruan Jiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him with suspicion.

Didn't you say that you got frostbitten when you fell into the ice?

With his temperature, he didn't seem to be suffering from cold at all.

But it's understandable when you think about it, after all, it's the hero, if you don't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, how can you be worthy of being the hero of Shuangwen.

Pei Zhiheng suddenly looked down at her, "Why is it so cold?"

He hesitated for a moment, but he didn't move away. Instead, he spread his five fingers and held her hand in his palm. He closed his fingertips slightly, and then wrapped her hand completely.

Ruan Jiao gave him a surprised look when the temperature came from her hand.

Pei Zhiheng's face was calm, "Didn't you call it cold? Why don't you hurry up?"

However, the night was not yet dark enough to cover his blushing ears.

Ruan Jiao was a little awkward at first, but seeing him trying to pretend to be calm, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

The temperature in his palm was continuously transmitted, and he held it tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Ruan Jiao didn't know what to think, her brain twitched, and she couldn't help ticking his palm, wanting to see his reaction.

There was not much distance from the gate of the courtyard to the entrance of the main room, and the two of them walked there in a few steps.

Pei Zhiheng paused, looked up at her, squeezed her very hard before letting go, and then pushed the door open with a natural expression as if nothing had happened, "Go in."

He turned around and closed his umbrella.

Because when holding the umbrella for Ruan Jiao, most of it was leaning towards her, a large piece of snow fell on the other half of his shoulder, even a thin layer of snow particles fell on his hair.

On the other hand, she herself was clean and nothing was stained on her body.

Ruan Jiao's conscience realized that she couldn't help raising her hand to pat him.

His hair was cold, and when it ran across his fingertips, it was unbelievably smooth.

Ruan Jiao was a little jealous.

——"Is this the protagonist? It's so delicate that it's down to the strands of your hair! They're all paper people, and they're too eccentric. Why do I lose a lot of hair in the morning with split ends and yellow hair? It's because I hung up at the beginning Cannon fodder?"

Pei Zhiheng's mood fluctuated because of her sudden action, but upon hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes fell on her delicate face the size of a palm.

Then he saw Ruan Jiao raised her hand and touched his face, feeling speechless.

——"Should I be thankful that this character is a beauty in trouble? Otherwise, I might not even have a long face. However, it's a bit strange, why did the original body have a face like mine?"

Pei Zhiheng was taken aback when he heard this, and his eyes fell on her.

One of the two was lost in thought, the other thoughtfully, standing at the door without moving for a long time.

When Mother Pei saw that the door was open and neither of them came in, she became anxious and her heart ached to death.

"What are you doing? All the heat in the room has been dissipated by you! You think it's too hot, you're panicking, don't you? Hurry up and come in!"

Her words woke the two of them up.

Ruan Jiao hurried into the room, hugged Mother Pei's arm guiltily, "Mother, I was delayed at the door just now, don't be angry, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to pick up more firewood."

The charcoal used for the bottom layer is not good, the smoke is expensive and it is not burnt.

The Pei family is poor, and they don't buy much charcoal. They only use it during the coldest time of the year, so they don't freeze to death.

If it weren't for Pei Zhiheng being a scholar, the imperial court would subsidize some, and the Pei family might not even have such a little charcoal to use.

Ruan Jiao had no choice, after all, she didn't know how to burn charcoal, so she could only gather more firewood and come back.

However, during the severe cold wave in the previous life, she built the kang with her.

——"Do you want to find a chance to build one?"

The main reason is that she is very afraid of the cold now, and it is really difficult to sleep at night.

Pei Zhiheng came in a step behind, just when he heard what she said, he gave her a suspicious look.

"Where are you going? You haven't taken care of your feet yet." Mother Pei dismissed her words on the spot, pointing directly at Pei Zhiheng without any hesitation, "Let him go!"

Pei Zhiheng: "."

"Who is it, who is knocking on our door so late?" Mother Pei took a two-faced steamed bun for the two of them, and asked casually when she handed it over.

Ruan Jiao took it over, not wanting Mother Pei to be worried, so she replied casually: "Thank you mother, said that the carriage was broken, and wanted to stay at our house at night, and the husband asked them to go to Lizheng's house."

"Oh." Mother Pei frowned, her face a little flustered, "I was thinking about having dinner and then with you, but I don't say that my heart is getting more and more uneasy, I just feel that my eyelids are twitching, like something is wrong. It's like it's going to happen."

"What's wrong?" Ruan Jiao looked at Pei's mother in surprise, and Pei Zhiheng also raised her head and looked at her in an instant.

Mother Pei sat down, took a deep breath, and then said very quickly: "Cuihuaniang told me this afternoon that someone came to their house to inquire about us, and also carefully asked about the previous thing several times, She said that looking at those people dressed up like ordinary people, you said, is it the family of the Dengtuzi who came here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Zhiheng said, "Our family is sitting upright, so what if we really find it? The emperor violated the law and the common people are guilty, and we have not wronged him."

"But he wasn't..." Mother Pei looked at Ruan Jiao worriedly and swallowed the word back, "...Stupid?"

Ruan Jiao reassured: "Mother, the magistrate didn't say that I was guilty, so don't worry. When the time comes, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover up. It's useless to worry about this now, and we can't do anything."

She put down the steamed buns in her hand, sat next to Pei's mother, hugged her arm, shook it gently, and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "I've already sat down anyway, I didn't kill or set fire, I just resisted. That's it, do you still insist that I am guilty? What's more, I am the one who was victimized."

Mother Pei sighed, her face still worried, "Aren't I afraid that they are powerful and unreasonable?"

"Didn't the county magistrate confirm his identity and say that he is just a merchant? Where does the merchant come from to have power and power, mother, don't think too much, my father is a scholar, and my husband is also a scholar, even if he has more power You have a lot of money, so you have to measure the means you want to use, right?"

When Mother Pei heard Ruan Jiao's words, her eyebrows finally loosened a little, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Yes, Saburo is a scholar. If it really doesn't work, and it involves life, Jiaojiao, you say that it was Saburo who smashed it. He has a reputation, and at most he will only get rid of his reputation, and there will be no worries about his life."

Pei Zhiheng was caught off guard when he heard Mother Pei's words, and immediately:? ? ?

Ruan Jiao turned her head to look at Pei Zhiheng, seeing his unspeakable expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Mother, it's not that exaggerated, I smashed people, I'm not afraid they will come to me! Even if it really gets to that point, I won't take my husband to the top."

In front of Mother Pei, she showed a look of admiration and looked at him obsessively, "At that time, I will reconcile with my husband, as long as the fame is there, even if I die in vain, I believe that one day, the husband will be able to Avenge Zhaoxue for me, and avenge Xuexue, right? Husband."

Ruan Jiao's words were sonorous and forceful, with a tragic expression on her face.

Mother Pei's eyes immediately turned red, she hugged Ruan Jiao and couldn't help crying, "My poor Jiao Jiao, why is my life so hard!"

Ruan Jiao also hugged Mother Pei, and in the direction she couldn't see, her slap-sized face was full of anger.

——"To die in vain? Oh, it is impossible in this life. If there is a dog in Qiu Yang's family who dares to come to trouble me, I will not trample their house! Whoever wants me to die, I will kill him first!"

- "However, the heroine is right, my life is indeed hard! I finally had to live again, and it turned out to be a cannon fodder female supporting role who died at the beginning. The husband wanted to kill me, the cannon fodder wanted to fuck me, I just wanted to have a peaceful life. How can it be so difficult to have a good life of stability, food and drink! There is no one who is more ill-fated and has a difficult life than me!"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

He lowered his head and glanced at the bowl where Ruan Jiao had been covered with a thick layer of pig's trotters by Mother Pei, and her rosy and rosy face that had even gained a little weight recently.

Unlucky? Living hard?

When you go out, you can meet wolves that sell for 8 taels of silver, and when you go up the mountain, you can pick up ginseng for 12 taels of silver. The mother-in-law at home has to stand aside when she loves her own son. If this is a difficult life, he also thinks.

Also, where did she get the illusion that he would kill her? !

Not to mention anything else, just her strength to crush stones, even if he has an iron head, he can't hold her to twist it, right?

What did he kill with?

idea?

Seeing the two people hugging each other with true feelings, Pei Zhiheng raised his hand to rest on his forehead, covering the helplessness in his eyes.

He knocked on the table, "Mother, Jiao Niang, why did you die to take revenge? Even if the Qiu family were to investigate and use their power to oppress people, they wouldn't be able to cover the sky with one hand. You might as well eat your meal quickly."

Mother Pei looked at Pei Zhiheng, who had no emotional change at all. She only felt why his heart was so cold. She raised her hand and patted his arm twice, "You unconscience, your daughter-in-law may be in danger. Are you still able to eat?"

Mother Pei looked at Ruan Jiao apologetically, and just wanted to say something, but she saw Ruan Jiao suddenly reacted, and eagerly moved her stool back, "I have to eat, otherwise It’s time to get tired of it when it’s cold! Mother, eat it quickly, don’t give it to me, and eat more to nourish your body!”

Ruan Jiao picked up the chopsticks, put the pig's trotter in her bowl, and gave Pei Zhiheng and Pei a piece of it.

Then he took a bite and squinted his eyes, "It's not hot anymore, it's just right to eat now!"

There were still tears on Mother Pei's face, looking at Ruan Jiao who was eating happily, and at her son, whose face was calm as if nothing had happened, she was suddenly choked.

She was sad when it was co-authored, and the two in front of her didn't take it seriously?

...

"Second son, what should I do? Do you want to keep knocking on the door?"

Seeing that the door was closed, the burly servant turned black and turned to look at his young master.

Qiu Huaixu's face was also a little incredulous, and then he smiled, "Knock what? Didn't we meet people? Didn't they think we were bad people and shut us out? Let's go, go to the one they said. What is right home."

"But..." The servant hesitated, thinking of Qiu Yang's stupid appearance, and suddenly worried, "Eldest son, he is like this now, and the second son will not be able to explain to the prince after returning."

The expression on Qiu Huaixu's face didn't change, but there was a hint of lightness in his eyes, "Explain? How should I explain it? My elder brother forced a good housewife, and was sent to an official for 100 sticks and exiled for 3,000 miles. Can you bully and execute the woman who was forced by the elder brother, and dismiss the local county magistrate who decides the case according to the law?"

The servant was speechless when he thought of the things he had inquired about earlier.

Qiu Huaixu glanced at him lightly, and slowly curled his lips, "Speaking of which, I have to thank eldest brother, if it weren't for him being confused, my father would not have given me this chance. But we can't just go back like this, we still have to give it to eldest brother. Find a doctor to heal the brain."

But their carriage has broken down, and they have to stay here tonight.

The two went directly to Lizheng's house.

Li Zheng didn't have so many concerns. As soon as Qiu Huaixu brought his servant to the door to clarify the origin, Li Zheng agreed.

He even killed a chicken for them because he gave them a lot of money.

The next day when he returned to Lintang County, he was the first to visit his uncle.

If Ruan Jiao was here, she would definitely recognize that Qiu Huaixu's uncle was the big guy she met when she was catching the thief before.

Qiu Huaixu didn't hide anything about the things he inquired about in Xinglin Village, and said everything.

"That bastard!" Qiu Shisan was furious when he heard the words, slapped the table hard, and lost Qiu Yang's whereabouts. They rushed over from the capital overnight, thinking that someone was targeting their Qiu family.

Today, the sage is old and unable to check and balance the parties in the court. In addition, the prince fell off a horse while hunting in autumn last year. Now the entire court is in chaos. The political party framed and excluded dissidents.

Their Qiu family, as a staunch royalist, had been approached several times by people from the second prince's line because they never stood in line.

He thought it was because the other party couldn't win over their family, and planned to plot behind their backs to bring their family down.

But didn't expect that idiot Qiu Yang, at such a time, can still be confused.

It's silly and deserves it.

He even felt that it was a good thing that he was stupid at a time like this.

Seeing that he was so angry as he expected, Qiu Huaixu curled his lower lip calmly.

Seeing him looking over, he showed some worry again, "The lady's husband is a scholar. He just got seriously ill and his body is weak. The widow mother and the lady are left. They don't even have a piece of land at home. They can only rely on Selling embroidery to make a living, life is difficult.

I originally wanted to get acquainted with them in the name of lodging, and then identify myself and give them some compensation, but I was probably scared before, and they didn't even let me in, they only pointed to Li Zheng's house and let me go.

I thought about the three of them, either sick and weak or women, even if I bought the land and donated it to them, they could only leave it unused, so I decided to leave some money in Lizheng as compensation, and entrust them to Lizheng to take care of it. . "

After the anger passed, Qiu Shisan also calmed down, "Are you sure you saw someone?"

Qiu Huaixu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that lady is really beautiful, her petite and thin body is not unusual, she was able to make a fool of my elder brother, probably because she was out of breath, and it was a coincidence, I showed her the injury that day. The doctor said that the injury on her head was so serious that she almost died."

Qiu Shisan nodded, probably getting angry just thinking about it, and couldn't help but punched the table again.

He took a few deep breaths, "Since you have taken over all the errands from Brother Yang, do it well, don't let down your father's trust, and tomorrow, I will set off to bring this evil back to Beijing."

Qiu Huaixu raised his eyes and glanced at him, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Qiu Shisan frowned, "Just say what you want."

Qiu Huaixu cupped his hands, lowered his head and said, "Uncle, my nephew wants to beg my uncle to re-enter Beijing slowly, the journey back to Beijing is long, and the doctor said that the reason for this is because there is a blood clot in the brain. I heard that there is a blood clot in Pingyang." A genius doctor who is good at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, can uncle take elder brother to see it first?"

Qiu Shisan raised his eyes and gave him a deep look, "It's hard for you, his mother treats you like that, and you still think about that bastard."

Qiu Huaixu had a wry smile on his face, "No matter what, he is my big brother."

Qiu Shisan snorted, thinking of the shitty things Qiu Yang did, he was so angry that his brain ached.

Say nothing more and let him go out.

When he came out, the servant guarding the door paused for a while, but he couldn't help but opened his mouth, "Second Young Master, why do you think about Eldest Young Master, wouldn't it be better for him to be so stupid?"

Qiu Huaixu smiled casually, "What do you know? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? His stupidity is only temporary. As long as the congestion is removed, he will recover naturally. Anyway, he will recover sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to return to Beijing to let his mother The concubine plotted for him, and won the love of the father and the king before recovering. It is better to cure such a stunning beauty, and he was beaten for more than a month. Can he let it go? It's too big, mother If the concubine wants to protect him...heh."

Ruan Jiao didn't know that she had been tricked, because she promised Pei's mother that she would go up the mountain to collect firewood the next day, so she got up early, found out the hemp rope and the hatchet, and prepared to go up the mountain.

As a result, just as I was getting ready, I saw Pei Zhiheng coming out in a change of shabby clothes, walked to her side naturally, picked up the hemp rope and hatchet and glanced at her, "You stay at home, I'll go .”

Ruan Jiao refused politely: "No, you can stay at home and read. I'll be back in a while. There's no point in having more than one person."

Pei Zhiheng glanced at her indifferently, "Did you forget that you promised your mother earlier that you won't go up the mountain alone?"

Ruan Jiao: "..."

Annoyance flashed across her face.

——"Mistake! I should have left earlier. If he follows, I won't be able to enter the mountains!"

Pei Zhiheng twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and said in a calm tone, "Or, are you going to go into the mountains again without telling my mother and me?"

Ruan Jiao frowned, feeling puzzled.

—— "How did he know? Did he guess it?"

Pei Zhiheng chuckled lightly, with a three-point smile on the end of his eyes, and said pointingly: "Do you think I won't be able to guess if you don't tell me? If you always insist on putting yourself in danger, then I'm going to tell my mother now."

Ruan Jiao: "..."

——"Can't you afford it? If you can't beat it, tell your parents, male lead, are you only three years old this year!"

Pei Zhiheng raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "After all, I can't control you anymore, so I can only call my mother."

Ruan Jiao's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and she looked at him suspiciously.

——"Does he have mind reading skills? How come he knows everything I think?"

The author has something to say:

Male protagonist: Guess what?

Jiaojiao punched it, guess your uncle!
