That almost flawless face was getting closer and closer to Wen Yu, she held her breath subconsciously, but her body still retreated involuntarily, feeling that no part of her body was in the right place.

Her breathing was a little rough, and she said with some difficulty: "Brother, stay away from me."

"Why? Guilty, dare not look at me."

Wen Yu was a little annoyed, she stretched out her hand to push the person away, but she didn't know how to put on a nasal voice, her momentum weakened for no reason: "I didn't intend to lie to you, but you don't want to be so close to me, I don't feel comfortable."

But in her heart, she was secretly complaining about Song Duan. The senior brother cared about herself, but sometimes she was too strong, and no matter what, her current role was also a male, and a male who was about to grow up.

How can you ask the elders for help when you encounter any difficulties, it is no different from a three-year-old child.And she felt that this matter was caused by her being too soft-hearted and too stupid. She had already learned a lesson, and she said it just to make others worry.

What's more, I still tell my brother who has been taking care of me like an elder brother.Wen Yu is not a fool, he can tell who treats him well or badly.

Announcing the good news but not the bad news to her relatives, she has always done this.

The smile in Song Duan's eyes subsided, he straightened up, and sat next to Wen Yu. He tapped the table, his voice became louder, his tone became colder, but he still dragged his tail: "So, it can't be considered close?"

The atmosphere suddenly became anxious.

Wen Yu collided with his eyes, a little nervous, and came again, teaching the sense of déjà vu of the director reprimanding the disobedient students.The lower lip was sucked and licked unconsciously by herself. There was a tingling pain, and the wound on the lip opened again.Wen Yu licked her lower lip again, sucking away the spilled blood.

Song Duan's eyes were completely frozen there, his eyes were dim, his hands twitched uncontrollably, and his Adam's apple moved.

He closed and opened his right hand, and repeated this until a thin layer of sweat appeared on the palm of his hand, and he clenched his sleeves tightly.The cup of top-grade Dahongpao on Huanghuali's table was glowing with water, and she picked it up to moisten her throat.

Only then did he look up at Song Duan: "I don't want you to worry."

"Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me?"

Wen Yu's hands stopped shaking, and the moment the teacup touched the table, there was a sound, and she said lightly, "I just can't bear to see that woman so sad."

Three hours ago, Wen Yu was still sitting in the main hall of Liu's house.

Wen Zhen: "Uncle Liu, where did you hear about it when you were delivering fried fruits? Do you remember what the people who talked about it looked like?"

Liu Dashun opened and closed his mouth, took a deep breath and then exhaled: "I actually—oh, no, Mr. Wen, I don't remember."

The Liu family's fried chicken head rice has lasted for three generations, but because he is not the only one who sells fried gorgon in Capital City, so the business has always been the same, flat, enough for an old snack, no matter how much money you have.Can't get it out.

After Liu Dashun said this, he shrunk his head in despondency, and never raised his head to meet Wen Yu's gaze.

Can't remember, that's weird.

Liu Dashun changed his words because he was involved in this matter, or he was lying, both are possible.

Liu Dashun is very guilty at the moment, as long as he uses a little more skill, there is a great possibility that he can pry his mouth open.

Wen Yu asked him: "Uncle Liu, when you went to see Liu Baishuan, how was his condition? Did the wounds on his body improve? Liu Baishuan has not yet woken up, so all the executions of this case by Nankang Mansion cannot be regarded as the final conclusion. YouIf you really know something? You might as well say it.”

Liu Yungu's emotions are sharper than most people's. She glanced at her father and then at Wen Yu, her light black eyes rolled between the two, and she suddenly said, "Master Wen, my father will only be able to fry this man for the rest of his life.Chicken head rice, he is an honest and excessive common man, how could he know anything."

"My husband slandered my younger brother, sent him to prison without even saying hello, and now he doesn't even come here. Our family is the most honest and responsible people, how could we do something sneaky?My brother must have been wronged, Mr. Wen, you can ask me what you want to know, I have been with my husband for at least a year, and I always know him better than others."

As she spoke, Liu Yungu's tears ran down her cheeks, her eyes were reddish and full of affection, it was indeed pleasing for such a pretty woman to make such a gesture of weakness, for a man with a strong desire to control, seeing this must beIt will give birth to this woman in the palm of my hand, and it will inevitably give birth to a sense of contempt.

It's a pity that although Wen Yu knows how to appreciate this beauty, she won't be overwhelmed by it.

If you haven't heard of Zhen's appearance, you plan to defraud Liu Dashun.

She pretended to be slightly angry, and said mockingly in her tone: "Liu Dashun, you know it but you don't cooperate and don't explain it clearly. You don't like me, so why come to me for help? If so, I will leave first."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Dashun said anything, Liu Bifu couldn't sit still, and finally broke out. She angrily walked in front of Liu Dashun, pointed at his nose and yelled.

"Liu Dashun, you bastard, I was blind to marry you back then. I've been obsessed all my life, and I can't do anything. If you know anything, tell me quickly, my son is still suffering in prison. Damn you,Isn't Liu Baishuan your own son, don't you think that what he suffered in prison is not a crime?"

"I, I." Liu Dashun fell to his knees all of a sudden, opened his dry and skinny mouth, and was interrupted before he could say anything.

Human beings come first.

"Old Liu, come out quickly, your Baishuan has been sent back, and he looks very energetic!"

A neighbor who used to have a good relationship with the Liu family ran in: "Old Liu, I just came back from there, and some lords in the yamen came back with Baizhu. If this is the case, then your Baizhu must not have stolen anything.Go out and pick him up!"

Liu Dashun regained his energy in an instant. He bypassed Wen Yu and ran fast, saying as he ran, "My son is back, it's great, it's great."

The yamen servant of Nankang Mansion carried Liu Baishuan into his house, and met Liu Dashun head-on.

"Father, I'm back!"

Liu Baishuan looked very proud. He struggled to sit up on the stretcher, "I told Mr. Fu Yin everything. Mr. Fu Yin is really a good official. Before I finished speaking, Mr. Fu already saw that I wasInnocent, send someone to take me home immediately."

Liu Fubi also ran out from the main room, and hugged Liu Baishuan who was smiling brightly.

"Son, are you okay? Does the wound on your body hurt? When we went to see you yesterday, you were still in a coma. It's God's eyes that my son recovered so quickly. "

"Mom, I don't hurt."

The yamen servant threw a bag of broken silver to Liu Dashun who was stunned: "This is compensation for you, Mr. Fu Yin will not make a wrong judgment on any case. We have already sent your son back, so farewell."

Liu Fubi: "Hey, my lord, since my son was wronged, what happened to Zhao Manglang's son-in-law? Did Lord Fu Yin punish him?"

One of the short yamen servants sneered, and was poked by another taller one with his elbow, and immediately regained his composure.

"This one hundred taels of silver was paid to you by your uncle, and he said he would come to the door to apologize in the near future."

"Can"

"Stop talking nonsense, we have other things to do."

Wen Yu stepped over the doorway stone directly under the main door, watched this "comedy", and suddenly laughed, but her eyes were cold.

Liu Yungu bowed to her: "Master Wen Yu, if it weren't for you, the government would not have released my brother so quickly. Please accept my concubine as a bow for your great kindness."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yungu knelt down and kowtowed to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu took a step back: "I can't bear it."

She helped Liu Yungu up, her tone was calm but determined: "Your father also gambled."

Liu Yungu hesitated and said nothing.

Wen Yu continued: "Do you want Zhao Manglang to go to jail? Do you want to make peace with this person?"

When Wen Yu asked this question, she had a little expectation, as if she was asking Liu Yungu, but she didn't seem to be.

Liu Yungu looked at Wen Yu with some strange eyes, as if she was judging the authenticity of what she said.

"I—" Liu Yungu stopped after saying a word, and she shook her head in embarrassment.

There were tears in Liu Fubi's eyes, and his old age was gone.She approached Wen Yu with cheerful steps, and said happily: "Brother Wen, you are really a lucky star, Lord Fu Yin let my son go."

Wen Yu: "Then do you still want to sue Zhao Manglang?"

Liu Dashun suddenly got strong, took two bags of chicken head rice and stuffed it into Wen Yu's hands, and pushed him out of the door: "My sons are back, which means everything is a misunderstanding. Brother Wen, I am really troublesome for you today."gone."

The door of Liu's house slammed shut.

She is useful, call Master Wen; she is useless, call Brother Wen.

Tsk, really "honest man".

Song Duan followed Wen Yu's line of sight to the chicken head rice in his hand, smiled knowingly, put the food down, and sat upright: "And then?"

Wen Yu: "No more, it's over."

Wen Yu lowered her eyes and didn't say what happened next.

After leaving Liu's house, Wen Yu caught up with the yamen servant who hadn't gone far, and wanted to ask some details.

It's not relative or reason, why did others tell this matter.Wen Yu understood this truth, she gave the two yamen servants a tael of silver each, and handed over the big bag of fried fruits in her hand.

You don't hit a smiling person with empty hands, let alone get benefits.

In addition, Wen Yu was planning to go to the Imperial Academy today, and she was well dressed, looking like someone who was either rich or expensive, so the two yamen servants also told Wen Yu something that they thought was insignificant.

The short yamen servant said: "I don't have much to say, but that kid Liu Baishuan has never done anything to steal, and his injuries are real, but I have worked in Nankang Mansion for so many years, seeThere are no fewer than this number of seriously injured people."

The man stretched out two fingers, shook in front of Wen Yu, with a proud face: "More than two hundred people."

Then his expression was a bit puzzled: "So according to my opinion, that kid should have woken up the day before yesterday. But this morning we were suddenly called over to make this kid—hiss!"

"Brother, why are you pinching me?" As soon as he said it, he knew that he had slipped his tongue, so he quickly stopped talking.

Wen Yu squinted her eyes slightly, her eyes crossed the street, crossed the crowd, and landed on the two yamen servants, one tall and one short, who were leaving.

Officials protect each other, and officials and businessmen collaborate.

She is already in the game, but she doesn't want to be a chess piece, nor a chess player.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, Song Duan!"

Song Duan looked at her opening and closing lips, in a daze, he didn't know where he was, he leaned forward, touched the teacup with his arm, the water flowed on the table, tick tock, and flowed down the gap of the coffee table to the ground.

The water dripped and wet the ground, and woke up Song Duan.

Three days later, Wen Zhen set off to return home.

She holds a document issued by the imperial court in her hand, and she can use it to take the official imperial ship for free, saving a lot of money on the trip.However, the waterway between Lingchang County and Nankang is limited, but fortunately, the imperial court paid for the expenses along the way.

Wen Yu took her luggage and set foot on the road back to her hometown.

By boat, carriage, water, land.The journey of thousands of miles took Wen Yu more than a month when she came here, but it took only 26 days to return home.

In the first year of Taixing, in the middle of June, Wen Yu arrived in Lingchang.

Lingchang County is a small county with a small population. In the past 23 years, there has never been a Jinshi, let alone Tanhua.

Lin Zhongshui, the county magistrate of Lingchang County, has been in quite a mixed mood recently. Wen Yu's passing the Tanhua exam will be of great benefit to the county under his jurisdiction and even his future career.

However, it happened that he had promised to marry his daughter, and this Tanhualang refused.Now when his wife heard Wen Yu's name, she would complain to Lin Zhongshui.

However, Lin Zhongshui stroked his beard and sighed.

Lin Xiangzhao is now a big girl, and she is finally going to settle down.When came back from Capital City last year, lost weight for several laps.Fortunately, his good girl has finally completely given up on being with Yuan Zhan and is willing to marry.

At the beginning of this year, as soon as the death day of the first emperor passed, Lin Zhongshui and his wife began to discuss marriage for Lin Xiangzhao. In April, Lin Xiangzhao finally got one. Although Mrs. Lin didn't like this person, her daughter was satisfied. They really couldn't hold back Lin Xiangzhao..

After the two made their engagement in early May, news of Wen Yu's high school came back.

After Mrs. Lin found out about this, she didn't show any kindness towards Lin Zhongshui, and blamed him for not working harder two years ago to snatch Wen Yu into his hands and become her son-in-law.A kid who doesn't know how to read and write and only knows how to use knives, guns and sticks.

Although Lin Zhongshui also has a little ink in his stomach and considers himself a literati, his official position was donated by Lin Zhongshui's father.He himself failed in the general examination three times.

The position of Tanhua, one of the three tripods, was beyond his imagination.

What's more, even though Wen Yu and he are both seventh-rank officials now, Wen Yu is a Beijing official, and he can even write a letter to the emperor directly!

Yongshui Village erected a new stele at the entrance of the village that has not yet been engraved, and it is still covered with a red cloth, which can be seen from a long distance.

All the old and young in the village gathered at the entrance of the village to wait for Wen Jing, the gongs, drums and suonas shook the sky and the earth, and the firecrackers blew together.

Zhang Niu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and ran in front of Wen Yu, and excitedly patted Wen Yu's shoulder to push her down a bit.

"Good! Good! Good! Yijia Tanhua, Brother Yu, Uncle Zhang is really very happy."

There was a bright smile that was all too familiar on the black and fat face: "Brother Yu, you have always had a bright mind since you were a child, but, hey, I am the stupidest, but you are the best of the best, and there are not many of them in the whole country."

"The village chief will wait for you to come back, and give you the approval letter from the imperial court to build the Jinshi Monument for you. God, I'm almost forty. I didn't expect to see this day."

Zhang Niu looked at Wen Yu with emotion, but it's a pity that her grandfather left too early and didn't see this day, otherwise how proud he would be to be able to marry a grandson like you.

I don't know what kind of girl can match her.

Speaking of which, brother Xun will turn twenty this year, and he will be an adult soon.

In front of Wen Rongfa's tomb.

Wen Yu knocked her head three times.

"Grandpa, I've already passed the exam. Give me some time, and I'll go to my aunt, and I'll be able to reverse my father's case. Grandpa, actually, I don't like being an official, and I don't want to stay in Capital City. I don't evenI don’t care about the splendor and wealth of Capital City. After these things are done, I will ask the Holy One to let me be an official in one of our Luoquan counties. If he still remembers the past, he will definitely agree.”

"It's strange to say that I met a person who is very similar to my mother in Capital City, but unfortunately there is only that side. Lord, do you know? I am not a boy with handles, I am a girl, and I am alsoI don’t know why my mother raised me as a boy.”

"I met a lot of people, all kinds of people, made friends, and had a brother."

"But Lord, why do you think I still miss you so much after you've been away for so long?"

His voice was trembling, his throat was choked, and his tears could no longer be stopped.

I feel timid when I am close to my hometown, and I miss my relatives when I go back to my hometown.

Lu Yigui had heard the movement outside the door a long time ago, but after a stick of incense, no one came in.

He pulled his beard, took out a bottle of wine from under the table, put it on the table, and then went straight out.

The wooden door was suddenly opened, and Wen Yu was startled.

She weighed a bunch of things in her hand and stood motionless at the door, looking a little silly.

But even though she stood stupidly outside the door for a long time, she still didn't think about what to say when she saw the teacher.

Lu Yigui leaned on crutches: "I'm back."

Wen Yu: "I'm back."

Lu Yigui tapped the ground with his crutches: "Then what are you doing at the door in a daze, kid? If you don't come in, you have to wait for the old man to invite you?"

"is teacher!"

Lu Yigui shook his head, and took another sip of the medicinal wine from the gourd on his waist.

"I've been admitted to Tanhua, boy, how is it? Isn't it a great feeling to return home? Did the little girls on the street stuff their handkerchiefs and sachets into your arms? Did you meet a girl you like in Capital City?What kind of expression, teacher, I was young too, and I have experienced all of these. Your teacher's wife just fell in love with me because I am handsome."

Wen Yu looked at Lu Yigui's thin face, and asked cautiously, "Teacher, how are you doing now?"

The sun was shining brightly, and Lu Yigui took another sip of medicinal wine to warm up his body: "The old man is in good health, you don't have to worry."

Before Wen Yu could ask, Lu Yigui pushed the wine on the wooden table over and signaled her to drink upside down: "Have you seen Wu Ju?"

"seen."

"Then you should have seen that kid Song Duan." Lu Yigui touched his beard when he said this, and pouted childishly, "That kid is a monkey spirit, and he looks like a human being.He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Wen Yu's heart sank, and it turned out that Song Duan was like this in the eyes of the teacher: "No, brother is very good."

Lu Yigui clicked his tongue twice: "It seems that you have been deceived by that kid's appearance, forget it, let's not talk about him, it's meaningless. Tell me about yourself. Enter the Hanlin under the name of a first-class Tanhua, and train there for a while, it’s time to throw you to Liubu. Have you thought about the way forward?”

"Before you left Lingchang, I asked you how the future is going? Now that I'm asking you, has your answer remained the same?"

Wen Yu paused while pouring the wine, and then said nonchalantly: "I want to go outside to Qingchi Mansion."

That gentle tone came out of her mouth, as if letting go was a trivial matter.

Lu Yigui didn't speak, but the beard on his face twitched.

Wen Yu asked tentatively, "Teacher, what do you think?"

The expression on Lu Yigui's face froze, he coughed several times in anger, and sighed with hatred: "Stubborn! Stubborn!"

Wen Yu pursed her lips, walked to Lu Yigui's side and patted him on the back to help him calm down: "Don't be angry, I just said it casually."

"That's just a random word. Wen Yu, you should know that the Qing Chi Mansion is now the territory of the First Prince, and it's next to Saibei, so it's not a good place."

"Students know."

Wen Yu was getting closer to him at this time, and the smell of the medicinal wine contained in the gourd also wafted into the tip of her nose. The teacher clearly said that even if she quit drinking, she would not drink this nondescript medicinal wine.

Wen Yu's heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by someone's hand, and it twitched suddenly.

Lu Yigui rubbed his forehead: "Do you know that the Holy Spirit intends for me to return to Beijing to reinstate my post?"

Surprise flashed in Wen Yu's eyes, and she shook her head honestly.

In an instant, all the things that happened in Capital City were strung together by Wen Yu, and suddenly realized that it was so, and looked in a trance for a while.

"Teacher, who else knows this news?"

Lu Yigui looked at the blue sky outside the window, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away, "Although this letter is a secret letter from the emperor, it is not sent urgently. From Capital City to here, thousands of miles, dozens of post stations, Capital CityAnyone in the City who wants to know will know."

"The emperor's mind is not just about wanting me to be reinstated." He took another sip of his wine.

Wen Yu: "Are you planning to go back to Beijing?"

"How is it possible? I'm already so old. What can I do and what can I do when I go back? That's fine, this matter is over, let's not talk about it."

He was like a child playing tricks, his gray hair and beard swaying wildly as he shook his head when he spoke.

But Wen Yu didn't miss the sadness that flashed in his eyes when he said this.

Lu Yigui patted her on the head like a few years ago: "You will be crowned in a few months. Blessed people are in June and August, and unlucky people are in the twelfth lunar month. You are indeed not a blessed person."

Wen Rongfa often used this common saying, but every time he said it, he was not saying that Wen Yu's life was bad, but that he had failed to make his grandson happy.

The twelfth lunar month is the coldest season of the year. In the ancient poor families with poor economic conditions and lack of food and clothing, not only babies, but even adults are prone to freezing to death. Many babies born at this time died prematurely.June and August coincide with the harvest, just the opposite.

Wen Yu was in tears, but her voice was a little hoarse: "Teacher, don't talk about it, wait until my birthday, and you will crown me for me, okay?"

Lu Yigui: "You have already returned to Beijing by the end of the twelfth lunar month. Could it be that you will let me run to Capital City with my old bones?"

The ancients had twenty crowns.

"Book of Rites Guanyi" records: "A person who is an adult will be responsible for the etiquette of the adult. Those who are responsible for the etiquette of the adult will be responsible for the etiquette of the son of man, the younger brother, the minister, and the young."

But in this dynasty, the people generally no longer pay attention to crown ceremony, and ordinary people never pay attention to these.As for choosing a character for a man on his twentieth birthday, this is only the treatment that scholars will get.

In the first year of Taixing, on the third day of August, Wen Yu returned to Capital City.

On August 6, he entered Hanlin and served as editor.

It was only after Wen Yu returned to Beijing that she found out that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the general election for the harem's best girls will begin.

Perhaps Lu Yigui knew he didn't have much time, so he told Wen Yu all his experience in the officialdom, regardless of whether the students who had just entered the officialdom could understand it or not.However, it seems to be quite effective, at least Wen Yu's judgment on the changes in the current situation is more acute than before.

Draft?This Capital City is about to change.

The golden wind is refreshing, the jade dew is cool, the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, and the silver toad is full of light.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Xiuyue still didn't come back, but Wen Yu was not surprised when she thought that Xidan was hundreds of kilometers away from Capital City than Lingchang.

There is no cloud in Kyushu, and the most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The custom of admiring the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival comes from offering sacrifices to the moon. It was not until the previous dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival was established. Now in Daqi, there is another form of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The night market is open all night.

"Little brother, do you want to watch the moon together this year?"

The author has something to say:

Next, the previous "old men" will be on stage one after another~
