Wang Cheng's overjoyed voice came, and Dongqing felt her head hurt terribly, as if she had been pricked by a needle.
He opened his eyes and saw several people. He subconsciously hid, "Who are you?"
The smile on Wang Cheng's face froze, and then he patted his shoulder, "Stop it, brother, stop joking with me."
Dongqing looked at him confused, with a puzzled look on her face, "Who are you and why am I here?"
Yun Miaomiao realized something was wrong, and Gu Fengqing happened to walk in from the outside. He saw a few people with strange expressions, and then looked at the people on the bed.
"You all come out, I have something to tell you." Gu Fengqing turned around and left the room. Yun Miaomiao glanced at Dongqing, gave Wang Cheng a look, and then walked out together.
When Wang Cheng saw this, he quickly realized that Dongqing was obviously not joking with him. He really didn't remember who they were.
Gu Fengqing stood in the courtyard, where Lian Ziqian lived before. Several people were already standing outside, with a bit of panic on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Yun Miaomiao asked.
Wang Cheng came out and asked, "Master Gu, what's wrong?"
"They were given some kind of fragrant tea by the holy aunt. After they woke up, they forgot everything that happened before. Now everyone is still in the square. I didn't say it in there just now because Dongqing also appeared like this.
In this situation, he doesn’t know who he is now, and the people here don’t know who he is either. If he is taken back rashly, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”
Sure enough, as I thought, there was something wrong with that fragrant tea.
Wang Cheng's face turned pale, "So is this temporary, or will it always be like this in the future?"
Gu Fengqing pondered for a moment, "We won't take the people here back, just let them continue to live here. The cave in the back mountain has also been destroyed. There are only innocent people here, and there are no vicious water bandits.
The water bandits have been strangled by you. I will write the contribution of Wangcheng this time on the paper and hand it to the emperor. Dongqing still needs you to pay more attention. Counting the time, the time for the capital trial is about to begin. Miaomiao and I must go back.
Now, I will leave everything here to you and Dongqing, can you do it?"
Wang Cheng couldn't believe it. How could he, who was just a gatekeeper, become the main force in suppressing bandits? If it hadn't been for Gu Fengqing's words, he would never have had a chance to succeed in his life.
What's more, the rest is just a small matter of resettling the villagers. This finishing work is no problem for him at all.
"Master Gu, please feel free to go to the capital. Don't delay the important matters of Young Master Yunsu and Young Master. Don't worry about me here. It's already good that you left the holly to me."
"Those people who followed you to the island before have also stayed to help you. There are too many people here for the two of you to handle. If anything happens to them, you can take care of them."
Wang Cheng originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought that he was really too busy to accommodate so many people, he agreed, "Okay, thank you very much, Master Gu."
Everything was handed over to Wangcheng, and Gu Fengqing took Yun Miaomiao and two thousand soldiers and left Qin Lanhe that day.
Gu Fengqing brought a big ship this time, and it moved very fast. The group of people arrived at Ruizhou Pier after walking on the sea for three days. Magistrate Zhao did not know when he received the news, so he was waiting there early.
On the dock.
Qingyang saw the figure of the boat from a distance, and couldn't hide the joy in his tone, "It's them who are back, it's the young master who is back."
Magistrate Zhao finally felt relieved, with tears in the corners of his eyes, "It'll be good if I'm back, it'll be good if I'm back."
The boat quickly docked. When County Magistrate Zhao saw Yun Miaomiao, he finally couldn't help but shed tears. Yun Miaomiao was even better to him than Zhao Zeqing, even beyond the feelings of blood. The water bandits in Qinlan River were really
It's abominable that his Miaomiao has suffered.
When Yun Miaomiao saw him shedding tears, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. In the past, when Yun's father and Yunmu were here, she would wait like this with Magistrate Zhao at the door, and she would be worried about any accidents when she went out.
Yun Miaomiao stepped ashore, and Magistrate Zhao immediately stepped forward and held her hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Miaomiao, you are back, you are finally back." Magistrate Zhao said with tears in his eyes, his tone full of excitement and joy.
Yun Miaomiao felt a warmth in her heart. She patted Magistrate Zhao's hand and said, "Godfather, I'm back and I've made you worry."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Magistrate Zhao looked at Gu Fengqing behind her, "Thanks to Xiao Gu, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Gu Fengqing stepped forward and hugged Yun Miaomiao's waist, "How can I sit back and ignore my wife when she is in trouble? Don't worry, godfather, I said I would protect Miaomiao thoroughly, so I won't break my promise. By the way, Qin
There are many innocent people on the island of Blue River. They escaped because the water bandits controlled their lunch. Later, Xiang Ming, who was poisoned by the water bandits, forgot where he was from. The drought here has not been alleviated. I will let Wangcheng
He and Dongqing have settled the people there, and they will come back soon."
"Okay, okay, just take care of those water bandits, and you can return to the capital to resume your life."
Butler Zhao on the side couldn't help but remind him, "Master, Miss and the others have been walking on the sea for so many days. Let's take them back quickly so that the girl and uncle can wash up and rest."
"Yes, yes, you see, I was so excited that I forgot about this. Take them back quickly, and you can rest assured that these people, Xiao Gu, can be left to me to take care of them." After saying that, he asked Butler Zhao to take Yun Miaomiao and the others back, and stay by himself.
Come down and find a place for the two thousand soldiers to settle down.
Of course, Gu Fengqing would not be polite to Magistrate Zhao, so he took Yun Miaomiao directly back to the Zhao Mansion. Butler Zhao also asked the kitchen to cook Yun Miaomiao's favorite meals. After the two returned, they started to wash up. After washing, the hot
The food was also served on the table, and after eating, I went to bed.
After this sleep, the two of them slept until early the next morning. Qingyang knocked on the door, and Gu Fengqing immediately got out of bed and went to open the door.
"Master, there is news from the capital that the new prince is not in good health. The emperor is going to conduct a large-scale talent show to choose a maid for the prince. The imperial concubine also agreed in a panic and found several daughters of noble families to enter the palace. But the prince's
My health is not getting better, and now the emperor's imperial edict has been issued to the four continents, and many people are talking about how to celebrate a big kid, why not give them a mouthful of food."
Now that the disaster is raging and the people have no place to settle down, the emperor turns a blind eye, which really chills the hearts of the people.
Especially in the area south of Ruizhou, there are either droughts or floods, and now there are even earthquakes. If Yun Miaomiao hadn't been there to save those people in the south of Hubei, how many of them would have come out alive?
.
"Magistrate Zhao's zhezi has been posted, but there is no news yet?" Logically speaking, so much time has passed and the zhezi should have arrived in the capital long ago. How come there is still no news yet?
"The news came from the palace's informants that the new eunuch beside the emperor accidentally poured water on the tea at night and even sprinkled it on it. The emperor asked the emperor to throw away the zhezi and ignored it.
.”
It was such a coincidence that tea was poured on no one's book, but only Magistrate Zhao's book was splashed with tea and ink. No one would believe this if it was not man-made.
"My godfather has been too sharp recently. I'm afraid that people in the capital will attack him. If Wang Cheng is not around, you should stay with him just in case." Gu Fengqing thought about it and left Qingyang with Magistrate Zhao.
It's safer to say, "By the way, I will leave for the capital tomorrow. What happened to the two thousand soldiers?"
"They were all arranged by Mr. Zhao in a temple in the south of the city. They had a mediocre meal on the boat. Magistrate Zhao found them a cook from a restaurant under Mrs. Zhao's name. They didn't eat a drop of the food.
I guess I’m very satisfied with the rest.”
"That's ok, prepare the carriage and set off tomorrow." Gu Fengqing said.
Qingyang went down to prepare the carriage. Early the next morning, Gu Fengqing took Yun Miaomiao and the soldiers and set off for the capital.
They were taking the official road, and there were two thousand soldiers escorting them on the road. Those with ulterior motives had to weigh their own weight even if they wanted to make some moves. No one or two would dare to take risks easily.
Therefore, the journey between Yun Miaomiao and Gu Fengqing was extremely smooth.
When they arrived in the capital, the examination had already passed. Gu Fengqing wanted to go back to the emperor first, brought two thousand soldiers back to the camp, and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Qing Mo waited for Yun Miaomiao at the city gate and took him directly to the small courtyard arranged by Gu Fengqing.
When Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo saw Yun Miaomiao, they were both in disbelief, "Sister."
"Cousin, you're back." Xiao Zhuo walked out of the study, and Yun Su rushed over and hugged her.
Yun Miaomiao's eyes were red. She hadn't seen Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo for more than a month. If she hadn't gone back to Jiangning Village and passed by Hubei, she wouldn't have encountered an earthquake. Then she was
Jin went to arrest them, so it wouldn't have been so long before he saw his two younger brothers.
"Sister is back." Yun Miaomiao's voice was choked with sobs, "You have all grown a lot taller, but you have lost a lot of weight. My sister will prepare delicious food for you when she comes back this time. I will definitely make up for all the fat on your body."
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked around Yun Miaomiao and saw that she was fine. They were very happy, "It's good that my sister is fine. My sister will have our palace examination tomorrow. Xiao Zhuo is the first place in the examination, and I am a fellow Jinshi."
The thirty-eighth one is also a young Jinshi. My husband said that as long as I study hard, my future achievements will not be lower than those of my brother-in-law. Are you happy, sister?"
"Will you be the first in the test?" Yun Miaomiao looked at Xiao Zhuo in surprise, and then exclaimed, "You are worthy of being the crown prince who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. I look forward to your prosperous life in the future."
Xiao Zhuo's cheeks turned red, "Cousin, please stop teasing me. If it weren't for the teachings of my brother-in-law and my husband, and the dean often sending letters to inquire about our homework, Yun Su and I wouldn't have reached this point. We would be where we are today.
It’s the hard work of all of you.”
Xiao Zhuo knew clearly that if Yun Miaomiao hadn't saved his life, he would have died in that corner, and no one would know.
For a royal family whose father does not love his mother, there is no farmer's family that makes people feel warmer.
"Okay, we are back tonight. Your rankings are all very good. I will make some food for you to make sure you are full." Yun Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves and started to work, bringing Qingmo with her.
I went out to buy groceries, and within a short time there was a cart bringing groceries to the small courtyard. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen.
Stir-fried fatty intestines, braised fish cubes in a dry pot, spicy and sour potato shreds, stewed old hen soup with ginseng, stir-fried squid, etc. The small table was filled with almost twenty dishes, and Yun Miaomiao didn't stop yet.
, Qing Mo quickly stopped the person.
"Madam, there's no room for the table outside, and we can't finish all the dishes. Don't cook any more." Qing Mo was about to cry but had no tears. This woman's cooking is even more delicious than the food in the restaurant.
Yes, it tastes much better.
Yun Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, "Are there so many dishes?"
She was full of energy, and if Qing Mo hadn't reminded her, she felt she could have cooked twenty more dishes.
As soon as it got dark, Gu Fengqing came in from outside. He was a little surprised when he saw Yun Miaomiao setting the dishes and chopsticks, and then saw the dishes on the large table next to him.
"You cooked all these dishes?"
Yun Miaomiao raised the bar proudly, "Of course I did it. Go wash your hands and eat. Today we celebrate our return and reunited with Yun Su and the others. We also celebrate our Yun Su Xiao Zhuo's good ranking. Tomorrow
It’s just the imperial examination, and you must get a good result.”
Qing Mo walked out of the kitchen with a cleaned spoon. When he saw Gu Fengqing coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Madam's craftsmanship is really amazing. The dishes on this table are full of color, flavor and flavor, which is comparable to those in restaurants.
If the cooks in the restaurant found out, I'm afraid they would be ashamed."
Yun Miaomiao smiled and said, "I just made a few random dishes. Sit down quickly. Yun Su, Xiaozhuo, you guys, come quickly."
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but smile, "It's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes cooked by my sister. I'm going to eat them with an open stomach tonight. The stir-fried pig intestines are my favorite. I
Please take a few more bites.”
"If you like it, take two more bites, but don't eat too much. I also boiled sugar water and put it in the well water to freeze. If you are too full, you won't be able to drink the soup. Don't say I didn't remind you then.
You guys." Yun Miaomiao reminded the two of them as they looked anxious.
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other. Their favorite thing to eat was the sugar water made by Yun Miaomiao, which was delicious and not greasy.
Gu Fengqing looked at the two people fighting for each other on the table, and couldn't help but start laughing, "You eat vegetables too."
He took a bite of vegetables and put it in Yun Miaomiao's bowl. Yun Miaomiao looked at him and gave him a bowl of soup. She saw the whole process of Qing Mo from beginning to end, and suddenly felt that the food in her bowl didn't taste good anymore.
.
After eating, Gu Fengqing took Yun Miaomiao for a walk in the yard. Qingmo went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo watched the stars under the trees in the yard.
"Qing Mo said that you have severed ties with the Gu family. What's going on?" Yun Miaomiao wondered in the afternoon why Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo would live here, and the room seemed to belong to Gu Fengqing. It was obvious that something was wrong.
The reason came out of his mouth.
Gu Fengqing held her hand and stood in the pavilion looking at the moonlight reflected in the water below, "It is enough for the Gu family to have one son. It would be unnecessary for me to come back. If you had left me in the academy, tell me
I will never go back to the capital again for the matter between you and me. When something happened to me, they didn’t look for me once. They even spread the word that I was dead and was cut into pieces by the bandits and thrown to the wolves. Why?
What I want is to hold Gu Qingyang's position, but I don't care about these things. What kind of good world can a mediocre and incompetent emperor manage? But fortunately, we have Xiao Zhuo, and Xiao Zhuo will be a wise king in the future. We can see
What we want to see, that day is not far away."
Yun Miaomiao held his hand distressedly, "From now on, if you have me here, they can't bully you. If they dare to bully you, I will let them have a taste of being bullied."
Gu Fengqing rested his chin on Yun Miaomiao's shoulder, "Yes, they don't have the protection of a good wife like me. If I do, I won't be bullied by them like this."
The two of them talked a lot, and Qing Mo heard it as soon as he came out of the kitchen. Gu Fengqing was so proud that he showed that he wanted to eat soft rice. He was shocked. He knew this person.
Master?
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo sat under the tree, looking at the stars in the sky. They glanced at Gu Fengqing and Yun Miaomiao not far away, feeling indescribably satisfied.
"Xiao Zhuo, will you be nervous tomorrow?" Yun Su knows how much pressure Xiao Zhuo is under. What he has to face tomorrow is not just a simple test paper, but thousands of enemies, especially the biggest enemy.
That enemy is still his biological father.
Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and listened to the chirping of cicadas in his ears and the sound of toads under the water in the yard.
"I'm nervous. I don't know what to say to him. Should I say I'm back? Or should I say you see I didn't die as you wanted. It's God's will that I'm standing in front of you now. Maybe there were others in the Yun family back then.
The frame-up of the three families was caused by the imperial concubine, or the flood in Ruizhou, the earthquake in southern Hubei, the locust plague in the academy, or the drought in most of the world, but he was far above the court, Gao Zheng
Enjoy all this without any worries.”
Yun Su sat up in vain, "Don't you ask him why he wanted to kill you in the first place?"
"More than this, I want to know why he, as an emperor respected by everyone in the world, can ignore the lives of the people." Xiao Zhuo shook his head. He was doing it for the people of the world, not himself.
Yun Su lowered his head, as if he understood what the gap between him and Xiao Zhuo was.
"The evidence about the Yun family's affairs is conclusive. Even if the emperor shields you, you can't stop everyone from talking. The godfather's promotion promotion was ruined. The power of the imperial concubine has been eroded to this point. If your father still goes his own way, Xiao Zhuo,
Do you dare to be rebellious?"
Yun Su's question was tantamount to a serious crime of beheading, but he was not afraid, he wanted to ask.
Xiao Zhuo turned his head to look at him, with a hint of undercurrent in his deep black eyes, "I can."
