dressed as a scholar

The carriages and horses had just arrived at the gate of the city, when Qiao Hezhi saw Qiao's carriage outside the window, he gently tugged on Fang Yu's clothes, and said happily, "Both parents are here to pick us up."

As soon as the voice fell, he heard a joyful shout: "Hezhi, Xianxu!"

Fang Yu lowered his head and laughed, his father-in-law really had nothing to say, and he didn't know the exact time when he arrived in the city, but he just waited at the gate of the city, and it was no exaggeration to be with his biological parents.

He took Qiao Hezhi out of the carriage, but when it came back, it was raining, the road was bumpier than when he went, and it took nearly a day longer, Qiao Hezhi's legs and feet were slack in the carriage. Seeing his parents happy, he hurriedly wanted to get out of the carriage, but he almost missed He fell from the carriage to the ground, thanks to Fang Yu's sharp eyesight and his hands, he was about to hug him.

"Oh, slow down!" Mother Qiao stretched out her hand in fright, and when she saw Qiao Hezhi falling into Fang Yu's arms, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You child, you are so frizzy, thanks to my uncle who doesn't despise you."

Fang Yu said with a smile: "He Zhi seldom travels far, and he has been traveling for too long, and his body is a bit overwhelmed."

Qiao Xinnian said: "It's okay, come back and rest for two days. I'll ask your mother-in-law to make you some tonics. It's been a long time, but it's hard work."

"Is everything going well?"

"It's going well, everything is going well."

"It's really God's blessing. Your mother-in-law and I received a letter early in the morning and learned the good news. It's not easy for Xianxu to get such a result in the exam. Go home and have a teacher appreciation banquet, and open a warehouse to release food!" Qiao Xinnian held Fang Yu's hand The joy in his hands is beyond words, but then he feels happy and confused: "It's only autumn harvest, and the grain is not properly distributed. Instead, cloth, meat and vegetables will be distributed!"

Seeing Qiao Xinnian's efforts, Fang Yu was also moved and said, "Father-in-law is worrying."

"Okay, it's a good thing to see the two of them come back safely. Let's go back and talk about what's going on. It's inconvenient to be stuck on this road." Qiao's mother saw Qiao Xinnian dragging the child and chatting endlessly, and said angrily: "What's the matter going back?" Even after discussing how to buy it, the child is also tired."

"Then father and mother will follow us to the house first." Qiao Hezhi looked at Fang Yu: "Is that good?"

Fang Yu nodded: "OK."

A group of people talked and laughed, and were about to get into the carriage and drive to Fang's house.

"My lord, my husband!"

Fang Yu turned his head and saw Xuezhu running towards Zhang Huang with a look on his face from a distance, he said with a smile: "Xuezhu, you are a bit late to pick someone up this morning."

Xuezhu saluted, but her anxious expression did not change. Fang Yu felt that something was wrong: "What's the matter, but what happened at home?"

"My lord, the old lady... the old lady has gone."

The sudden news knocked everyone present speechless for an instant, they hurried towards the house without asking in detail what happened.

"Old madam, why are you willing to leave the children behind! You are so cruel, why don't you take the children with you?"

"Nowadays there is a monstrous wealth coming to our house, how can you not bear to look at it. Woooooo..."

When Fang Yu and Qiao Hezhi rushed into the Longevity Hall, the overwhelming crying sounded like that of singing one after another. Seeing the little brother and woman kneeling beside the bed wiping their tears, Fang Yu immediately angrily reprimanded: "Shut up!"

An extremely powerful voice came from the top of their heads, and the two of them fell silent in fright. Although they often heard Chen's words about how handsome Fang Yu was, it was the first time for them to see the rightful master, seeing such a young face Zhou Zheng's Master Xie Yuan, neither of them were willing to take their eyes off.

"Master, you, you are back, the old lady..." The woman covered her face and wept in the middle of speaking: "It's really pitiful, I haven't even seen the master for the last time."

Fang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, and saw an old woman with a ruddy complexion lying on the bed with the curtains drawn up. This appearance obviously had just passed away not long ago. The servants in the room all had red eyes, looking at each other Seeing Fang Yu's expression, he didn't dare to speak.

His mood is indeed a bit complicated. Although Chen Shi has been doing a lot of evil since he came here, making the family restless. He has bluffed Chen Shi, but he also hopes that she can live an honest life. If the family lives in peace, he will also be with Xiao Joe took care of him like a mother, but she was restless again and again.

Even so, when he came back, he thought about building a house in Fangzui Village, and then sent a few capable servants to take care of her, and let her live in her hometown, but he never thought of cursing her die.On the way back, he also heard Xuezhu tell the whole story of the incident, but he didn't realize that his fame cost her his life.

I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me, he closed his eyes, silent for a long time without opening his mouth.

Qiao Hezhi's eyes were already red. Although she knew that Chen Shi was no longer his husband's mother, Fang Yu would take him to pay her respects to Chen Shi every morning when she woke up on weekdays. There was no lack of filial piety.

Even though Mrs. Chen looked down on him many times, and had always been at odds with him, but now when he heard the bad news, he still couldn't help but feel annoyed, it was too sudden.

"It was fine when I left, why is it like this."

The little brother and the woman who were grouped by Chen's side looked at each other, and the little brother said tremblingly: "My lord, my lord, I'm sorry."

"If, if it wasn't for the fact that the husband insisted on going to Fucheng and left all the affairs in the house behind, the old lady wouldn't be so anxious that she would leave her sickness behind. I'm afraid she wouldn't have a sudden emergency today. Even if the husband doesn't like the two of us, Also, you shouldn't leave all the affairs of the big house to the old lady."

The woman went on to say: "The old lady is already old, working day and night, and worrying about the safety of her husband on the road and the grades of the lord rushing to take the exam, thinking about it day and night... This, this is when the lord comes back. Such a joyous moment, suddenly passed away, woo woo woo woo……"

Qiao Hezhi's eyes froze when he heard the words, but he didn't know that these two people were so vicious, and they accused the old lady of passing away because he was angry. It's hard work, murdering mother-in-law is such a big crime, not only will you have to go to court, it will also... He suddenly stood up from the bed, and slowly walked towards Fang Yu: "Son, if..."

Fang Yu patted Qiao Hezhi's back comfortingly: "Don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"My lord, my lord, the old lady is your own mother, and she brought you up to achieve your current fame through hard work. You, you must not make decisions for the old lady because of selfishness."

The woman cried on the ground with pear blossoms and rain: "Although the slaves have never had a good life to serve the old lady for a long time, the old lady is the most soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she treats us slaves as if she were her own. If you are disrespectful, the lord will punish you for it, and the servants are willing to be punished for the kindness of the old lady."

Fang Yu stared at the two people kneeling on the ground without any warmth in his eyes: "Grace? The old lady really owes you a mountain of kindness. She collected you into the house halfway, and showed off her might while the head of the family was away. There is also the master's money."

"The lord, the lord is clearly aware that the servants and servants are all acting according to the old lady's words."

Fang Yu waved his hand and dropped the teacup on the table to the ground, and it shattered beside the two maidservants with a bang, making both of them tremble.

"There was a funeral at home, so I didn't have time to deal with the two of you, but you couldn't wait, for fear that people would ignore your existence and rush to punish you! How dare you frame your husband without a word, he It is also people like you who can talk about being defiled!"

"The old lady was a bit fatter herself, and you arranged servants to persuade the old lady to eat more vegetarian food and walk more on weekdays. You were very considerate, coaxing the old lady to grow up in the yard, and even drove the servants who were originally arranged. Go outside the yard. The doctor confirmed that the old lady had eaten too much sweet these days, her blood pressure had risen, and she died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage!"

Fang Yu's eyes were cold and solemn: "Not only do you not know how to repent, but you also have the cheek to say that the old lady has kindness to you. It's a big joke!"

"Come here, detain these two lowly maidservants and bring them to the yamen another day to wait for their punishment!"

The two of them were terrified when they heard the words, and they didn't dare to say anything more. They quickly kowtowed and confessed: "My lord is wronged! My lord, it must have been misdiagnosed by the doctor's poor medical skills!"

"Slaves and servants absolutely dare not harm the old lady!"

Seeing the two being dragged out, Fang Yu rubbed his temples. Mrs. Chen really reaped the consequences of buying such a person into his home. He was a little tired and said: "Thanks for all the invitations, let's start preparing for the funeral, please A good Feng Shui master came to see a good place, and sent the old lady out in a good manner."

Xue Zhu replied: "Yes."

Qiao Hezhi's eyes were still a little red: "I, I will also help with the preparations."

Fang Yu pulled people, he knew what Qiao Hezhi was thinking, and sighed slightly: "Don't take the words of these villains to heart, the quarrel is not a day or two, if she will stay for this matter The root of the disease is that I was ill with anger before, so why wait until now. The doctor also said that it was caused by being too excited when I heard the good news, and the blood pressure was too high."

"Fortunately, you didn't allow those two maidservants to serve tea, otherwise there would be endless troubles." He stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Hezhi in front of him, stroking his hair: "Don't blame yourself, you are tired after rushing back, take a good rest first Well, if you fall ill again, then I will be in a hurry, and I will take care of this end."

Seeing Fang Yu defending his little brother so much, the elders of the Qiao family didn't have much to say, so they comforted Fang Yu and went to help arrange the funeral.

"Seeing that the virtuous Xu has gained such a reputation, he is sure to be admitted in the next year's test. I don't want such a thing to happen." Qiao Xinnian lamented the loss of his son-in-law, but he had to say with emotion: "This court has kept filial piety for three years. , but I missed the exam, and I have to take the next exam."

Qiao's mother also knew this truth, and comforted her: "The dead are the most important. It is difficult to have both rites, filial piety and scientific examinations. It is also a helpless move. To put it bluntly, Chen is old, and there will always be such a person. In the old days, the son-in-law always had to keep his filial piety, Ding You, if he was a real top-ranking official and became an official in the court, he would have to ask himself to leave his post and go back to his hometown to keep his filial piety, which is even more difficult."

"It's fine now, as long as I have more time to study and catch up with the exam, Fang Yu and Fang Yu are still young, so it's not too late to go to the exam when I'm more steadfast."

"That's all there is to it."
