Lingnan.

Summer is extremely hot and humid, and there are also many mosquitoes.

In the fenced yard, sat a middle-aged woman in coarse linen clothes. The woman was about fifty years old. Although she was dressed plainly, she couldn't hide her beauty.

She took the needle and thread from the basket beside her, and began to mend the clothes.

Tears began to shed as I continued to mend, one by one, the tears fell on the clothes, and soon disappeared.

Seeing someone approaching in the distance, she hastily raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Cheng Dingyan had just returned from his busy farm work, his body was dirty, and beads of sweat hung on his face.Since arriving in Lingnan, they not only have to work every day, but also have to farm to support themselves. They are no longer the masters who lived in the capital without worrying about food and clothing.

He's young, it's okay to suffer a little, but his mother...

Seeing the woman's red eyes again, she comforted her softly, "Mother, why are you crying again? Since the accident in our house,? You cried so much that you can't even see things now? The village doctor a few days ago I also said, if you cry again, I'm afraid you will be blind in the future."

Cheng Dingyan took the woman's hand.

"Mother, I know you are worried about my little brother. Although he was weak and sickly since he was a child, he is extremely intelligent. He is the smartest among the children of his age in Beijing. Even the late emperor once praised him, saying that he will be a dragon, a colt, and a phoenix in the future." , the pillar of the country. And he saved his life back then,? Even if he wanted to use our Cheng family to make an example of others, he would not make it difficult for my little brother."

The woman nodded.

"Yan Ping has never left my side since he was a child, and now our family is in such a difficult situation. According to the temperament of those people in the capital who worship the superior and trample on the inferior, even if he can spare Yan Ping's life, who is the right person in the capital?" Easy?"

Cheng Dingyan also sighed.

He and Cheng Yanping are brothers of the same mother. Their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, but Cheng Dingyan's face is tougher and his body is taller and stronger.

"Mother, don't worry. The spirits of father and uncles in heaven will definitely protect my little brother."

The woman sighed softly.

"It's a pity that we're stuck here, and we can't even receive any news. If I can receive a letter from your little brother, I will feel at ease knowing that he is safe."

Cheng Dingyan lowered his eyes, a look of determination appeared on his face.

"We can't do anything to him now, and we may not be able to do anything to him in the future. There is a saying that geomantic omens take turns, and if he does many unrighteous actions, he will die. He will be punished sooner or later for his rebellious deeds."

The woman's eyes were red again, and she held his hand behind her back.

"Dingyan, my son, what do you do outside, mother doesn't care and doesn't want to care, but mother is only you two brothers now, if you have any good or bad, I will not be able to live."

Cheng Dingyan said in a deep voice: "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely not let our Cheng family bear such unwarranted charges. I will not let you stay in this place of exile forever. When the time is right, I will take you back. When the time comes to see the little brother, we will be reunited as a family."

......

time flies.

Seeing that the hottest dog days are about to pass.

These days, Cheng Yanping would go to the town to guard every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, and he didn't stay long, just looking into the distance.

Zhao Hou knew what was on his mind, and would accompany him to wait when he was not busy.

"Last year, the caravan didn't come until autumn came. This year it's hot, so I think it will be a few days later."

Cheng Yanping lost interest and leaned on Zhao Hou's shoulder.

"I don't know how mother and elder brother are doing over there? Can they eat enough and wear warm clothes? Will they be bullied?"

Zhao Hou coaxed him softly.

"Will not."

His banquet is so kind and lovely, so naturally the Cheng family will not be bad.Only an upright and kind family tradition can raise good people, and an evil family cannot raise good seedlings.

"Besides, my mother will be protected by my brother, so she won't suffer if she thinks about it."

As soon as Cheng Dingyan was mentioned, Cheng Yanping laughed, "Brother is the most unreliable. When he was studying, he always liked to invite everyone to hang out together, but he and the second prince are the best..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanping paused.

The eldest prince of the first emperor and the first empress died early. According to the rules of Dayu, the second prince should be the most successful successor, not the current seventh prince.

But the first emperor passed away, and after the second prince failed to seize the throne, he disappeared.

If the second prince had ascended the throne in the first place, based on his relationship with the eldest brother, the Cheng family would not have fallen to such a point.

And the second prince has a benevolent heart.

Thinking about it, he will treat the people of the world kindly, and he is a benevolent king.

......

After getting married, Zhao Hou felt that the burden on his body became heavier and heavier.

In the past, he was alone, so he didn't have anything to pay attention to. He ate whatever he had, and he was fine if he didn't go hungry for a meal or two.But now with Cheng Yanping, although he said that he is easy to support, he can eat whatever he wants.

But Zhao Hou thought, how can I do that?

The husband he married had to be taken care of.

According to his current situation, although Cheng Yanping can't give Cheng Yanping the comfortable life he used to live in the capital, he can't make my husband worry about money when he wants to eat something nice and wear something nice .

Although the land he is planting is not much, it is enough for two people.

Another one, he went hunting, and he made a lot of money every year.Apart from these, he also needs to save some money now. First, he killed Zhou Dehai. If Zhou Yuanlang came all the way, he and Cheng Yanping would definitely leave Longmen Town and flee on the road.

He can make do with himself, eat and sleep in the open.

But he was reluctant to let Cheng Yanping suffer together.

So these days, he always likes to run into the mountains when he has nothing to do.

When he met an acquaintance on the road, he said, "Zhao Lihu, are you going into the mountains again today?"

Zhao Hou nodded.

The man wore a straw hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is teaching in the school now, and he has made some money. And it's easy to save. He's not the one who wants silver today and gold tomorrow, or the hot weather." , why do you always run into the mountains?"

Ever since they got married, Zhao Hou was also willing to have a few words with him.Hearing this, he said: "You can't say that, although Yanyan doesn't care about these foreign things, but I have to work hard, lest he wants it later, and I have no money to buy it, then Yanyan will be so sad and wronged .”

The man laughed even harder.

I've seen someone who hurts my wife, but I've never seen someone who hurts like this!

When Zhao Hou came back, it was already late.

From a distance, he saw Cheng Yanping guarding the door, and walked a little faster without realizing it, and when he got to the door, he found that he was holding a wet handkerchief that was almost soaked in water.

"Husband, you've worked hard today, let's wipe your face first!"

Seeing his flattering face, Zhao Hou enjoyed it, wiped his face and handed back the handkerchief.

Cheng Yanping welcomed him back home, helped him take off his shoes, and brought over the freshly cut watermelon.

"Husband, please eat some watermelon to quench your thirst."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

After Zhao Hou ate two pieces of watermelon, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want me to do today?"

The two of them have been together these days, and Zhao Hou has a clear understanding of his temperament. Cheng Yanping has always been yelling at him, and only when he has something to ask, he will come to ask in such a low profile He, coaxing him, is extremely attentive.

Cheng Yanping smiled flatteringly at him, walked around behind him, and rubbed his shoulders.

"What is the husband talking about? My husband works hard all day for this family. I should be responsible for serving you."

If he is not familiar with his temperament, I am afraid that he will be deceived by his superb acting skills.

Zhao Hou turned sideways and grabbed the man's waist.

After a whirlwind, Cheng Yanping was already sitting on the man's lap.The man's body smelled of sweat, he frowned, and said again: "Really, what I said is true, you can show the sun and the moon."

Zhao Hou reached out and pinched his waist.

"If you don't tell the truth, I won't be polite."

Cheng Yanping had no choice but to recruit honestly.

"I am now studying medicine with Dr. He. As my husband, shouldn't you support me?"

Zhao Hou didn't understand, so he subconsciously nodded.

It is a good thing to hang the pot to help the world.

Cheng Yanping grabbed his hand and played with his fingers one by one.

"Today Doctor He taught me the art of acupuncture and moxibustion, but I am not good at finding the acupuncture points. Doctor He said, give me three days to practice, and I must be proficient. Hit your palm."

As he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red, as if he had been beaten right now.

Zhao Hou lowered his head and kissed his lips.

"You, even if you are in the nest, you can bully me at home."

Cheng Yanping's eyes lit up immediately, he hooked Zhao Hou's neck and said, "You agreed? I knew you were the best for me!"

"Come on!"

A kiss fell on the face.

Zhao Hou's eyes were dark, and he looked straight at the man in his arms.

"This sweetness is not enough!"

By the time he came out of the room again, it was already late.

Cheng Yanping rubbed his lower back and complained: "I knew it was a great thing that there was no pie in the sky, and you can't lie to me about what you promised me."

Zhao Hou was refreshed, and he agreed very simply.

"I promised you, when did I go back on my word?"

It's only an hour after the commotion just now, and both of them are hungry.

Zhao Hou went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Egg fried rice, plus a cold preserved egg.

Cheng Yanping only ate some watermelon in the evening, even though he was forced to work just now, he didn't consume too much. Seeing that the fried rice in the bowl was full, he rushed more than half of it to Zhao Hou.

Zhao roared, "Why do you only eat so little?"

Cheng Yanping replied: "Anyway, it's not me who contributes!"

Zhao Hou was stunned for a moment, then shot back.

"Calling that is quite exhausting."

Cheng Yan gave him a plain look, and urged Zhao Hou to take a bath after eating.

After taking a shower, Zhao Hou lay down on the bamboo bed.

Cheng Yanping opened the cloth bag, and a row of tiny silver needles came into view.

He purposely picked the biggest and thickest one, and deliberately waved it in front of Zhao Hou's eyes.

But the person on the bed was unmoved at all.

Cheng Yanping was resentful, thinking that it could scare him, maybe Zhao Hou would beg him for mercy.Anyway, he was the one who begged him for mercy every time, and this time it was Zhao Hou's turn to beg him.

Instead of begging him, Keren didn't even bat an eyelid.

Cheng Yanping couldn't bear it, so he changed to a smaller one, and only then gave the needle when he saw the acupuncture point.

Zhao Hou pursed his lips and smiled.

He knew that Cheng Yanping couldn't bear it!

In the middle of the night, the wind blew up.

Cheng Yanping was sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, Cheng Yanping pushed Zhao Hou beside him in a daze, and muttered in a low voice: "Zhao Hou, go and open the door, it's so noisy It's..."

Zhao Hou was always alert, he woke up when he heard faint and chaotic footsteps.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed in, crying.

"Sir, please help me!"
