Chapter 170 Borrowing wine to relieve sorrow

Xiaoshu saw the woman frowning and holding her breath, as if she had a lot of hatred for this dress, so she immediately put it away and put it behind her.

The woman ordered her servants to bring toiletries and brushed her teeth in front of Xiaoshu.

I was vomiting and washing at the same time, going back and forth. I didn't know how many times I washed, but I just felt that my teeth were not clean enough.

Xiaoshu was confused by this. He didn't know what happened to his young lady.

Could it be that I have a bad stomach?

After returning from Anyang Lake, apart from drinking a small bowl of ginger soup, she had never eaten anything else.

After thinking about it, Xiaoshu was still worried. He stood behind the woman and said cautiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

But her words didn't get any response.

Xiaoshu tiptoed and gently touched the woman's beautiful shoulder.

The woman's whole body trembled. She turned around and took half a step back. She looked at Xiaoshu warily and said, "Ah, Xiaoshu... what are you doing?"

Xiaoshu immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "I disturbed the young lady, I deserve to die..."

The woman patted her chest and took a long breath and said, "Xiaoshu, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

The woman frowned, as if she was disgusted by Xiaoshu's kneeling action.

Xiaoshu stood up from the ground, bowed and said respectfully, "Miss, I saw that you were washing all the time, and I thought it was strange. I kept calling you, but you didn't hear me, so I touched you lightly. I deserve to die."

"

Even so, Xiaoshu's heart was still full of doubts. He couldn't figure out why the young lady made such a fuss and looked very wary. This was something Xiaoshu had never encountered before. Could it be that she fell into the lake and was injured?

frightened?

If you think about it carefully, that's all it can do.

Otherwise, she really couldn't find any other reason.

The woman was startled, thinking that her actions were so obvious?

I had no choice but to purse my lips and endure it in embarrassment, "Oh, Miss, I had a bad meal today and my teeth feel very bitter. Just... wash up more often. Don't worry."

"Miss, are you feeling hungry? But what I ate today, my little one tasted it first! I didn't think there was anything wrong with it..."

Xiaoshu looked at the woman with suspicion and whispered.

I don’t know if it was because I became less and less confident the more I spoke, and my voice dropped in the end, but my suspicious eyes did not disappear.

The woman carried Xiaoshu on her back and patted her forehead gently, thinking that she was really careless.

For a moment, I forgot that Xiaoshu was still in the house, and his face was full of despair.

After calming down, he turned around and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, just help me take these down!"

Xiaoshu pouted and said "Oh!" before holding the toiletries in his hands. When he passed by the woman, he didn't forget to scan her.

The woman turned her head away guiltily and plucked her black hair.

...

It is said that since Ling Yun returned to the inn these days, he reviewed his homework at the inn in the morning, and went to Wang's house to discuss the provincial examination questions with Wang Jinghui in the afternoon. When he encountered a difficult problem that neither of them could solve, he ran to Li Chengyou to ask him for help.

Li Chengyou was very happy to see Ling Yun come to him, and Ling Yun would come to him from time to time with a book full of red fonts, so he was naturally smiling.

I thought to myself, no matter how great you are in the future, you won’t be taught by me?

Thinking of this, Li Chengyou felt happy and became more serious when teaching Ling Yun, sometimes even more serious than Ling Yun.

Except for the day when the fat man came out of the examination room, Ling Yun did not go to see Li Chengyou. The rest of the time, he would stay with him for an hour, and most of the time he would stay in Li Chengyou's study.

On this day, Ling Yun and Wang Jinghui stood outside the door of the college examination room, waiting for the fat man.

As soon as the fat man came out, the two of them trotted forward. At this time, Wang Jinghui asked, "Cousin, how do you feel?"

The fat man twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Wang Jinghui with complaining eyes, and said frustratedly, "Cousin, I just came out, can't you make me happy?"

With a hum as he spoke, he crossed Wang Jinghui and came to Ling Yun. He held Ling Yun's hand and wailed, "Ling Yun, are you here?"

Ling Yun nodded and lightly hit his chest with his small fist.

Then the group returned to Wang's house, where Ling Yun had a meal. When the fat man went back to his room to catch up on his sleep, he said goodbye to Wang Jinghui.

When he returned to the inn, he kept the Four Books and Five Classics in his hand. When he got tired from reading, he would stand in front of the window and look at the scenery not far away.

After recovering, continue fighting.

The fat man came to him the next day and wanted to ask him to go out and play with him. At this time, he seemed particularly happy.

It seems that I have let go of everything, without feeling as low as yesterday at all.

However, Ling Yun refused his invitation on the grounds of preparing for the provincial examination, so he had no choice but to leave with his soldiers sadly.

I don't know if he knew the reason why Ling Yun wanted to review, but after that day, Fatty didn't come to him again.

Ling Yun ran between Li Chengyou and the inn, not thinking about anything else for a moment.

When the examination results were announced, Ling Yun was still sitting in the inn room immersed in reading. If it weren't for the deafening sound of the government officials beating the drums to announce the good news, he wouldn't have reacted.

After arranging his clothes, he thought about going to Wang's house, but when he went downstairs, he found that the crowd in the inn had already piled up. He wanted to go out, but his thin body could not squeeze out a way, so he had no choice but to go out.

Return to the room.

Just as he was about to continue reading, the sound of drums sounded everywhere in the streets and alleys. Ling Yun could only stand by the window, listening to the sound of drums announcing good news, and praying in his heart, hoping that the fat man would be on the list.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the drums gradually subsided, and the people in the inn downstairs, some happy and some sad, were no longer as crowded as in the morning.

Just when Ling Yun wanted to go out, Fatty arrived at the inn ahead of him, hugging him and crying.

When Ling Yun saw his appearance, he knew what had happened.

She touched his head and comforted him, "Fat man, it's okay. Just try harder next time. I believe you can do it."

The heartbroken fat man didn't listen to the advice at all and just kept crying in his arms.

Ling Yun was helpless and looked at Wang Jinghui, who also spread his hands helplessly.

I don't know if it was because he was tired from crying, but the fat man suddenly stood up and said boldly, "Humph, you want to make this young master sad during the small courtyard test? I won't serve you anymore."

As soon as these words came out, Ling Yun and the two were shocked. They thought it was Fatty who was stunned and started gossiping, but Fatty suddenly turned around, looked at Ling Yun and said, "Come on, cousin, Ling Yun, let's go have a drink."

."

Without giving Ling Yun and the other two time to react, Ling Yun walked out of the room alone. Seeing this, Ling Yun had no choice but to follow him. Wang Jinghui behind him also quickly followed.

It was the same tavern as before, and it was the same waiter who greeted them. The fat man just said to him that it was the same as before, just serve the wine, but he didn't say anything.
