A roar resounded throughout the east courtyard of the Bell Mansion, and Yu Qing couldn't help but lose his temper in the early morning.
The east courtyard used to be so clean, so clean that he could meditate and practice every day, but now there are a lot of things happening inexplicably.
I just cleaned the east courtyard inside and out yesterday afternoon, and today I have to go to the roof again to tile the roof and paint the pillars.
I took my clothes measurements yesterday, and today I have to change the quilt cover and window paper again.
Yesterday I refused to have dinner with Zhong Su and his family, but I came here again today.
It was endless, there were so many bad things, and he couldn't stand the harassment anymore. He was already upset and finally got angry.
Of course, being so angry is indeed related to my mood. I still don’t understand why I was admitted to Huiyuan and returned the full marks of my ancestors to Huiyuan. I didn’t sleep all night. From yesterday to today, I couldn’t figure out the real meaning.
What exactly is the problem?
If it was just a matter of passing the exam, he would admit it and treat it as an accident. But now he can't even explain it to himself. How did it happen?
Unexpectedly, my uncle suddenly lost such a temper. The servants were frightened, and they all trembled and resigned.
Yu Qing, who had been wandering under the eaves for a while, returned to the house again. He was still angry, so he filled a pot of water, threw fire crickets into the water, and made tea to drink.
People sit on the sidelines and wonder, what should we do now?
This is something he has been unable to figure out since yesterday and today.
Now he doesn't know how to end it.
If he had just passed the exam, he might still have some room for improvement. If he dared to run away now, it would be strange if the court didn't turn everything upside down.
The problem is that I screwed up Ashheng this time.
He failed to protect her and let her have her hand cut off, but now she helped her pass the examination and passed the Huiyuan examination with full marks. He believed that Ashheng would also pay attention to the situation of the examination in Beijing.
I'm afraid that even Ashheng himself won't believe this result, so he probably suspects that he has the same name.
This test of his own was equivalent to completely cutting off Ashheng's path.
Sorry Ashheng.
I'm sorry, Master. Before he died, he entrusted me with escorting Ashheng to Beijing to take the exam. This time, he didn't do anything well.
I can’t help myself either.
What's even more despicable is that the Zhong Mansion has added fuel to the fire and actually revealed the identity of Ash Heng's prospective son-in-law. A group of subordinates have already started calling him uncle. It's true that there are people who are not afraid of death, and they have to go up on their own.
The one who puts his neck through the rope loop on the beam.
He didn't even know what the Zhong family and the eldest daughter of the Zhong family would do after he escaped.
He originally wanted to tell Zhong Mansion the truth, but now he really didn't dare to speak.
The reason is simple. Once he opens his mouth, it will not be as simple as the marriage of his children. Once he runs away, Zhongfu will not be able to handle it. What will happen if Zhongfu sells him out first in order to distance himself? The dignified leader of Linglongguan is being
Arrest him, interrogate him in three halls, and then behead him in public? He cannot accept this outcome.
There is no reason to have this worry. The Zhongfu's attitude towards him before and after the interrogation was too obvious and quite repetitive. The warm and cold side of human nature has emerged. It can be seen that Ashheng's original explanation was wise not to let the Zhongfu know the truth.
What should we do now?
He was so worried that his intestines were about to break. He was so worried that he no longer had the mood to sell crickets on fire.
The questions on his mind now gradually converge to one: to run or not to run?
He was extremely confused. By running away, Ashheng and his son's hard work was completely ruined by him. But the key point was that he thought that it was useless for him to stay. He might even risk his own life. Relatively speaking, he was sure of himself.
Your life is more important!
But Ashheng was not around, so when something like this happened, there was no one to discuss it.
I consider myself a good man, but at this moment I feel like I have no way out.
He casually dug into the package that had been packed and ready to leave, and took out a bag of spiritual rice. Bang! The bag was accidentally crushed by him, and the spiritual rice scattered all over the table.
I got it from the Zhong Mansion. It wasn't much, just a few bags. I wanted to take it away after I failed the exam and tell the Zhong Mansion the truth. Now I really don't have any mood to make a fortune. I just want to know what the use of this spiritual rice is.
All kinds of emotions were summed up in one sentence. This time I dug a big hole, and the hole I dug couldn't be blocked!
White mist gradually began to appear in the house, and the mist became thicker. Yu Qing was still distracted while playing with the spirit rice in his hand.
Suddenly, there was a banging sound.
Yu Qing woke up, looked down, and found that the fire cricket crawled out of the pot at some point and was gnawing on a pile of spiritual rice.
Hey! This guy can eat spiritual rice?
Were you not fed with spiritual rice in the ancient death land?
After thinking about it carefully, I have never tried using spiritual rice. When I tried to feed them later, they had already eaten all the spiritual rice.
Then he looked at the mist floating in the room, looked at the teapot, and understood the reason why the fire cricket crawled out of the pot. Because he was distracted, the water in the pot boiled dry.
Yu Qing Hongsi carried the fire cricket back into the pot, then grabbed a lot of rice from the table and stuffed it into the pot, 'burying' the fire cricket alive.
Normally I would be reluctant to ruin the spiritual rice like this, but now I really feel like, what is the use of this spiritual rice?
Just when he was distracted and distracted, a servant came and reported: "Master, there are two people outside. One of them calls himself Xu Fei, saying he is your friend and has come to pay a visit."
Xu Fei? Yu Qing sneered. It was better not to mention Xu Fei. When he mentioned it, his teeth itched with hatred and his intestines turned green with regret.
If that guy Xu Fei hadn't gotten the answer, could he have done this? If he had known that he was saving the white-eyed wolf, he should have let him die in the demon world to avoid causing harm to the human world.
He originally wanted Xu Fei to go away, out of sight and out of mind, but after thinking about it, he said "hmm", wondering why Xu Fei came here.
The servant left quickly, looking back for a second, muttering to himself, shouldn't he be happy if he did so well in the exam and his ancestors are honored? Why do you feel that this young master looks like he is dying?
Not long after, Xu Fei and Chong'er came. One was walking like a dragon and a tiger in high spirits, while the other was following with his head down and looking sad.
"Brother Shi Heng, congratulations." Xu Fei held up his hands and laughed loudly as he crossed the threshold. He then waved twice and looked around, "Where did such a large amount of water vapor come from?"
Yu Qing, who was sitting on the stage, put his feet away and clasped his hands, and said angrily, "Congratulations to me for what? Congratulations to me for dying?"
"Well, after ten years of hard study in exchange for this great victory, why do you say such obscure words when you are celebrating?" Xu Fei was surprised and found a place to sit by himself without asking. He and Yu Qing were indeed quite familiar with each other.
Not to mention sharing the sorrows.
Yu Qing snorted and sneered: "Seeing that you are so happy, you must have passed the exam, right?" He had seen the list, but had not paid attention to Xu Fei's ranking, so he was not in the mood to pay attention.
I have never felt so bad in my life.
Xu Fei waved his hands with a look of shame, "Ashamed, ashamed, I was lucky enough to pass the exam. This time I did even worse. After ranking more than 150, I just barely made it to the list. You can't compare with Brother Shiheng."
"
Yu Qing suddenly said in a strange tone: "Look at your disgustingly pretentious face. Is there any comparison between those who got over 100 places in the provincial examination and those who got more than 100 places in the confederation examination? Are you bullying me for not having read? Just because of your provincial examination."
How can you be on the list if your grades are high? You got the grades by cheating, right?"
Xu Fei was told that he felt guilty and hurriedly defended: "It's just a fluke. Besides, you also passed the provincial examination after ranking more than 100, and you still ranked first. How can you explain this?"
Yu Qing sneered: "I cheated in the exam. I admitted it in front of you. Do you dare to admit it?"
These words made Chong'er lose his mind and make him feel frightened, fearing that Yu Qing would tell the truth.
"..." Xu Feening was speechless, and then smiled bitterly, "Brother Shiheng, don't be ridiculous, I know your strength, I have experienced it when I was in Lizhou Wenhua Academy." He also winked at Yu Qing, which meant,
You know that secret and I know it.
After saying that, he took out his ears again, because he always felt that there was some kind of rattling sound. Suddenly he saw the spiritual rice in the pot moving inside, and then he realized where the noise came from, and his face couldn't help but close up.
Past, "Brother Shiheng, what's inside?"
Yu Qing directly stretched out his hand to brush his face away, "It's annoying to see your face. Don't tarnish my spirit."
Xu Fei lost his temper. He always thought that this person was not a good person, but he saw something and tried to ask: "Brother Shiheng, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"
Yu Qing had a big worry, but he had trouble talking about it. He couldn't find anyone in the capital who could let him complain, so he ignored the topic and said, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me what happened to you."
Xu Fei looked back at Chong'er, took out a new slave certificate from his sleeve, put it on the table and pushed it over, "Brother Shiheng, I'm here to fulfill my promise, please accept it."
Promise? What promise? Yu Qing muttered in his heart. It didn't look like a banknote. He reached out and picked it up to check...
Outside the gate of Zhongfu, a finely crafted carriage arrived, its body exuding low-key luxury.
The driver stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Sir, the Bell Mansion has arrived."
Sitting in the carriage was a handsome man who seemed to be in his thirties. He was dressed in rich clothes, with a red emerald hairpin on his head, a full head of black hair. He had a jade face and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome, and his eyebrows were slightly open and closed.
It means laziness.
Hearing what was said outside, he took out a small mirror from his belt and looked at himself again and again.
The concierge knew that the carriage was not an ordinary vehicle, so he took the initiative to come down and inquire, "May I ask what you are doing for me?"
Only a white hand with slender fingers stretched out from the car curtain, holding a jade pendant and handed it to him. The man's gentle chuckle came out, "Give it to Ashheng, and tell him that an old friend is visiting, and he will understand."
It’s clear.”
Seeing this demeanor, the concierge did not dare to be rude. He said "wait a moment" and immediately turned around to report.
Yu Qing in the east courtyard was arguing with Xu Fei. Why did he want the insects? It was useless. He had to spend more money to raise a person. It might not be convenient when he escaped. Naturally, he refused to take them and asked Xu Fei to take them back.
Chong'er cried secretly beside him, tears falling down one by one.
At this time, the porter arrived. After announcing his intention, he presented the jade pendant and said, "The person who came here refused to say who he is. He only said that the young master will know it when he sees this."
Yu Qing was stunned as soon as his eyes touched the jade pendant. He immediately showed a look of joy, snatched the jade pendant into his hand, looked through it, and shouted happily: "Please! Please come quickly!"
