The little lady of the Xiucai family (rebirth)

backyard.

As expected, Lin Qingyu saw the carriage, and there were several tall horses tethered in the stable, each with black and shiny fur.

Although she was curious about the woman's identity, Lin Qingyu was afraid of the murderous guard.

After drying the clothes on the clothesline, he hurried upstairs and returned to his room.

The little lady hadn't woken up yet, her brows were relaxed and gentle, Lin Qingyu lay on the bedside, looked at it with her head propped up for a while, and then felt hungry again.

"Little lady..." Lin Qingyu complained and felt wronged, and poked Lan Qing's face with her hand, "Your husband is going to starve to death."

The dry food I brought when I came out has already been eaten, and I don’t care about food in the inn, and I have to buy it with extra money, but there is enough tea.

Lin Qingyu didn't want to drink water, so she took off her shoes and socks and climbed into bed to sleep.

If you fall asleep, you will not be hungry.

Lin Qingyu felt that her life was really a bit miserable, and she secretly thought that when the little lady woke up, she would give her a good meal.

But when the little lady woke up in the afternoon and put the food on the table and woke her up, she forgot everything.

Holding the bowl and eating the vegetables with relish, I didn't even say a word.

It was only then that Lan Qing realized that she was starving people, and guiltily added vegetables to Lin Qingyu's bowl.

She originally planned to take a nap for a while, but unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Qingyu once said that the little lady in her dream was gentle and considerate to her.

At this moment, Lan Qing couldn't believe it...

She could see her husband's tolerance and accommodating towards her.

After the meal, I learned that Lin Qingyu had washed the clothes.

Lan Qing doubted herself even more.

……

One thing more is worse than one thing less, Lin Qingyu was worried about bumping into those people, so she stayed in the room all day without going out.

Lan Qing went downstairs and asked the boss to make some pancakes for dry food.

She planned to continue walking towards Yu Yang.

……

Lin Qingyu slept too much during the day, and couldn't sleep at night.

In the middle of the night, I heard horses neighing in the backyard, and there was some vague movement.

Lin Qingyu came to the window and looked down, seeing several dark shadows leading horses at the door, as if they were waiting for someone.

Not far away, a carriage drove over, and a person came down from the door. Hearing the familiar loud voice, Lin Qingyu immediately realized that something was wrong.

Without saying a word, those people pulled out their swords in unison, scaring the driver so much that he ran away without rushing into the night.

Fortunately, those people did not go after...

Lin Qingyu didn't dare to look again, she crawled back to the bed quietly, covered her head with a thin quilt, and covered her head.

The little lady, who was supposed to be asleep, stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt off her head.

"Don't be afraid," the little lady said with deep tiredness in her voice, she turned sideways and took her into her arms, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Lin Qingyu also realized that those people were trying to intimidate rather than hurt people, so she nodded, "Okay."

Tomorrow, they will leave.

Lin Qingyu thought of the coachman, "Little lady, uncle was scared away by those people just now..."

Lan Qing was a little helpless, she was woken up by the driver's loud voice, "Don't worry, he will come back when he knows he's all right."

Those people acted at night with the intention of avoiding people. If the coachman's voice was a little lower, maybe he would not be threatened by drawing his sword.

However, Lin Qingyu still felt that those people were too sensitive, everyone looked like an assassin...

As the little lady said, the coachman knocked on the door at dawn and helped Lin Qingyu and the others move their things into the carriage.

They stayed in the inn for three nights, Lan Qing went to check out the extra room, Lin Qingyu went to collect the clothes to dry in the backyard, the two split up, Lin Qingyu returned to the carriage before Lan Qing.

Lin Qingyu slumped lazily in the carriage, heard footsteps, and pulled Lan Qing into the carriage.

The little lady had a complicated expression, and she took out a bank note from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Qingyu. The bank note was different from other papers, and Lin Qingyu could tell it at a glance, and asked curiously, "Little lady, where did this come from?"

"The boss said that the honored guest on the fourth floor entrusted him to hand it over to you, do you know each other?"

Lan Qing thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, ordinary people in the Lin family, how could Lin Qingyu know that kind of person?

Lin Qingyu was stunned, the face of the strange woman flashed in her mind, she hesitated and didn't pick it up immediately, "How is this possible? I don't know her at all."

"But the shop owner said he was very sure, that person just wanted him to hand over the bank note to you." The little lady frowned in thought, her tone confused, "It's not because of your relatives, why did you sponsor you to rush for the exam?"

"Little lady, you... don't lie to me."

For some reason, the little lady's tone was firm, but she became inexplicably nervous and took it slowly...

The ticket amount of 500 taels was clearly on the paper. Lin Qingyu had never seen so much money in his two lifetimes combined, and his voice trembled unconsciously, "Is this really for me?"

"What...why did she give me so much money?" Lin Qingyu couldn't help coughing, "I really don't know her..."

500 taels is not a small amount...

With trembling hands, she quickly handed the banknote to Lan Qing, "Little lady, this must be a mistake, return the money to the shop owner quickly..."

Lin Qingyu was overwhelmed and flustered. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she saw the woman yesterday, and today the woman gave her money. This... This is really a ghost!

Her pale face was a little abnormally red at the moment, and she was obviously agitated. Langzhong Lin explained that the husband's illness is the most taboo of emotional ups and downs.

Lan Qing's heart skipped a beat, she was afraid that Lin Qingyu would faint again, after a while she finally looked better.

She quickly responded, "I'll go right away, Husband, don't worry..."

Just now, Lan Qing was also unwilling to accept it. The owner of the shop couldn't bear to be entrusted by others, so he insisted on keeping the money.

Seeing Lan Qing coming back to give the money, the shop owner felt bad. He knew that most of the scholars were lofty and aloof in their bones, and they were not ashamed to accept others' help, but Lin Xiucai...isn't 500 taels rare?

With this 500 taels of silver, even if you don't pass the exam, with this money, you can live comfortably for a lifetime.

"Boss, my husband doesn't know that honored guest. It seems that you have found the wrong person. You should ask someone else."

Lan Qing presented the bank note and smiled apologetically, "This is not a trivial matter, boss, you must figure it out."

The boss shook his head and refused to pick it up, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry about this. I'm sure I won't make a mistake. The honored guest is talking about your husband. Yesterday your husband was talking to the old man downstairs. The honored guest Ask me about him, and I thought nothing of it, so I told her everything I knew."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, showing embarrassment, "I know what's going on, your husband is handsome, gentle and personable, and he looks like an extraordinary young man at first glance. It's likely that the distinguished guest has taken a fancy to him and wants to be his son-in-law." .”

Lan Qing's face couldn't help turning pale, the bank notes in her hand were deformed, she pursed her lips, her expression was gloomy.

She is a person who is "pregnant". Seeing her embarrassment, the boss quickly said: "Mrs. Lin, don't take it to heart. That distinguished guest is a sensible person. When you hear me say that you are pregnant, don't ask Lin Xiucai again." thing."

"This bank note, I reckon it's a good relationship. Don't you think he just left without saying anything?"

"We can't take this banknote." Lan Qing put the banknote on the table and left quickly.

"Hey," the boss hurried to catch up, "Mrs. Lin, why are you bothering?"

"My mouth..." He raised his hand and slapped himself, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have talked about me..."

Lan Qing turned a deaf ear, got into the carriage and asked the driver to leave quickly.

It was the first time I saw Lin Xiucai, the little daughter-in-law, with a cold face, as if someone owed her money and didn't pay her back.

The driver's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"

The boss was already chasing after him, Lan Qing glanced back, a slight smile appeared on her lips, the coldness between her brows faded, "Come on, I forced the bank note to the boss."

"oh oh……"

The coachman quickly raised his whip, and Lan Qing slowly opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

"Little lady, give it to him?"

Lin Qingyu was still frowning, her eyes worried, and she didn't know what she was worried about.

Lan Qing sat down opposite her, took a breath, walked a little anxiously, and during the menstrual period, she felt a little unwell, "Give it out, it's too late for you to regret it."

"I don't regret it." Lin Qingyu stretched his eyebrows, "If so much money is lost or spent, I can't afford it..."

"My husband is talking about..." Lan Qing nodded lightly, agreeing.

The boss led his men to chase them for a hundred meters and called them back.

This mess is like stealing money...

The coachman threw the man away, grinning loudly, "This matter will be left to me, the old man, but whoever gives it to me will take it. Lin Xiucai, you don't know how hard it is to make money. The old man and I last night I only earned more than a dozen copper coins by attracting guests for one night in Chunfeng Building."

Lin Qingyu frowned, smiled and said nothing, everyone has his own ambitions, anyway, she would not accept this kind of money.

Lan Qing also laughed, and patted her chest, "Husband, you must never scare me like this again. Your body has finally recovered, but you have to be careful..."

The smile froze for a moment, and Lan Qing suddenly remembered that when the house was ransacked, she was with her mother and sister-in-law, and officers and soldiers were sweeping around. She was calm and calm, and she had never been so flustered...

"it is good."

Lin Qingyu nodded, she was a little embarrassed, "I've never seen so much money, I couldn't control my emotions for a while... never again in the future."

"It doesn't matter, just be careful." Lan Qing's eyes fell on Lin Qingyu's face inch by inch, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just murmured to herself: "I'm sleepy."

Then he closed his eyes, relaxed his body and let himself lean on the package.

Lin Qingyu hesitated for a while, then said, "Little lady, you just woke up not long ago..."

She didn't quite believe it, but her voice lowered unconsciously, and she was still worried about disturbing the little lady's sleep from the bottom of her heart.

The little lady seemed to have fallen asleep, and ignored her.

Lan Qing fell asleep and slept until night. She opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Lin Qingyu knew that she was tolerant, but Lin Qingyu would never know that she could be so tolerant...

Lan Qing kept the matter to herself, and Lin Qingyu didn't find anything wrong with her, so the matter was over.

……

On the way afterwards, they did not stay at the hotel, and only bought some dry food and daily necessities every once in a while to save money.

After walking for more than a month, I finally arrived in Yuyang.

During this period, the distinguished guest never appeared again, Lin Qingyu forgot about the woman, and Lan Qing no longer cared about it.

When the carriage entered Yuyang City, Lin Qingyu fanned herself with one hand, and looked out with the other hand. The city was bustling like a brocade, and the dazzling array of novelties made people dizzy. People in the city paraded in groups of thin shirts, hawking along the street. lively.

When they set off, the sky was cooling down, and now Yu Yang had just passed the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was just starting to get hot.

It can be considered that the erroneous hits eased the hardships on the road, otherwise, if we leave a month later, the heat on the road will be unbearable.

The carriage stopped and went through the crowd, and at noon, they finally found a relatively cheap inn.

The three had a casual meal in the lobby, Lan Qing settled the travel expenses, and the driver drove back, leaving only the two of them.

For a moment Lin Qingyu couldn't figure out whether she was reluctant, or if she was too tired to cheer up, so she returned to the room with a sleepy look, ordered some hot water to wash and fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, Lan Qing washed off the sweat stains on her body, changed into clean clothes and left the inn.

She dominated the bed alone, and slept until the sun was setting in the west before waking up.

Lin Qingyu couldn't see the little lady, washed her face, opened the door and went out.

There are some people sitting in the lobby drinking tea and chatting, leisurely and relaxed.

Some people are guests staying at the hotel, while others are people from the neighborhood, who come to spend time.

The owner of this inn hired a storyteller, who came after an hour or so, and told a well-known anecdote, everyone was satisfied, and went home.

Lin Qingyu walked through the lobby without attracting attention. Both the shopkeeper and the shop assistants were lying on the table and dozing off.

The weather outside had cooled down, and there were no people on the street when we came.

Although Lin Qingyu didn't know when the little lady went out, she could probably guess why the little lady went out.

Even in the next life, Lin Qingyu is still not as good as the little lady who can manage housework...

At sunset, Lin Qingyu finally saw the figure of the little lady.

Lan Qing hurried back, leaving in a hurry, sweating all over, her hair was wet in her bun.

Wiping her sweat, she caught a glimpse of Lin Qingyu trotting towards her, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and her exhaustion seemed to fade away in an instant.

Lin Qingyu came in front of the little lady and wanted to go up to hold her hand, but she was afraid that others would see her gossip, so she silently retracted her outstretched hand to straighten the corner of her clothes, and restrained her smile a bit, so Acting upright, he felt a little respectful, "Little lady, why didn't you call me when you went out?"

Lan Qing didn't care, and smiled lightly: "Husband, I went to the neighborhood today to ask, and the houses in the city are too expensive. A mother-in-law who sells tea said that her family has two vacant houses on the outskirts of the city. If we intend to If so, she can find time to take us to see it tomorrow."

"This..." Lin Qingyu hesitated, "Little lady, it's better to find a special person to rent a house. You and I don't know the place well. If you are cheated, the loss of money is small, and if your life is in danger..."

After all, she is not a real man, if she really meets a villain, she will not be able to protect the little lady at all.

"I think that mother-in-law is kind-hearted, so she shouldn't be a bad person." Lan Qing shook her head slightly, but Lin Qingyu's words made sense, and she retreated a little, "When I go back, I will ask people about her. The shopkeeper should know her. It is said that she has been selling tea here for several years."

"Well, if it's not a liar, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"it is good"

The two of them were talking, they entered the inn, the storyteller left, and there was no one else in the lobby, only the waiter was clearing the tables and cleaning up the mess on the floor.

Lan Qing looked around, stepped forward and asked the waiter in the shop: "Second brother, may I ask if your shopkeeper is here?"

The little lady was gentle and polite, and the second boy couldn't help but feel shy, and said politely: "My shopkeeper has gone to dinner, you can tell me if you have anything, I will help if I can help."

"I want to ask someone, have you heard of the mother-in-law who sells tea in the west of the city?"

"You mean Granny Li?"

When Xiaoer asked, Lan Qing was silent and talked for a while today, but she didn't ask the mother-in-law's name.

She looked troubled, and the little girl said clearly, "Is that mother-in-law you're talking about one-eyed? She's the only tea seller in the west of the city. The west of the city is remote, and no one likes to go there. They all go to the south of the city to set up stalls." , there are temples in the south of the city, Taoyuan, Marriage Temple, Qiushui Lake, various places for fun, and many dignitaries, wives and ladies go there..."

"Yes," Lan Qing nodded, "Second Brother, do you know what Granny Li is like?

"Of course it's great. Granny Li was able to set up a stall for four or five years in such a place in the west of the city. It's all because of her good popularity. The people who go to her place are regular customers, and our shopkeeper loves to go there when he is free. .”

After listening to Xiao Er's words, Lan Qing felt more or less comprehended, she nodded slightly to Lin Qingyu, then turned to thank Xiao Er.

Xiao Er nodded, still a little unfinished, with a regretful look on her face and muttered, "It's a pity mother-in-law, she worked so hard to bring up the child. In the end, the child became an official and even lost his mother..."

For a moment, Lan Qing felt the same way. Lan Qing's heart sank suddenly, and the smile on her lips gradually froze. If a person is so prosperous, even his own mother can be abandoned. If Lin Qingyu is admitted, will she still want her as a poor wife?

She is the daughter of a guilty minister, marrying her is very likely to be criticized by others, and even affect her official career...

If Lin Qingyu betrayed her... Lan Qing couldn't tell how she would feel for a while, but what is certain is that she would never blurt out the word "xiuqiu" as she did a month ago...

"Little lady, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Qingyu saw that she suddenly lost her mind, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Watch the road carefully, don't fall down."

Feeling the warmth from her hands, Lan Qing looked sideways and saw the undisguised worry on Lin Qingyu's face, her eyes gradually became complicated.

She remained silent, and when she got to the room, she watched Lin Qingyu close the door, and asked in confusion, "Husband, did you hear what the waiter said just now?"

"No." Lin Qingyu shook her head, bit her lip, and said sullenly after a while: "Seeing you smiling at him like a flower, I can't listen to anything."

"..."

Lan Qing sighed, "Forget it."

"Forget what?" Lin Qingyu frowned, moved the stool to Lan Qing's side, and stared at her solemnly, "We can't just forget it, you have to smile at me..."

Lan Qing was not very happy at first, and when she heard this, she glanced at her coldly, "Huh?"

The little lady has always been gentle and careless, but now she is a little indifferent, and she bites the bullet and says: "...It's your husband..."

"Husband," Lan Qing bit the word "husband" heavily, and hooked her lips, "You said that you want to give me to Zhao Tiande."

"No," Lin Qingyu shook her head, "He's not a good person, so I won't entrust you to him."

She used entrustment, the little lady is a real person, not something that can be given away at will.

"I made an appointment when I came here. When you pass the exam, you will divorce your wife." Lan Qing asked Lin Qingyu quite seriously, "Are you and I considered a good husband and wife?"

Lin Qingyu was immediately stopped by the question, and wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say?

Say no to the exam?According to the nature of the little lady, I am afraid that she will be the first to stand up and object. Isn't this persecuting the little lady in disguise?

Saying that you can't stop passing the exam?She had already given the initiative to divorce his wife to the little lady.

Lin Qingyu's face was flushed, and she couldn't help coughing, tears flowed out.

While patting her chest, she stepped back and turned to leave. Lin Qingyu felt extremely embarrassed in such a mess in front of the little lady...
