Duxia Juren, who had just been admitted to the imperial examination, his wife disappeared!
Everyone in the village knew that the Xia family's daughter-in-law was going to have a baby again and had not seen anyone for a long time. This was normal. It was not fun for a potbellied girl to fall down when she went out. But when Xia Juren came back, she didn't know where she was.
Did you go? You took your daughter with you before you left.
Where can I go with such a big belly and a baby?
Everyone was talking secretly. Xia Junkai did not stay in the village longer. After finding no one, he went to Yin's house in the town and grabbed the rickshaw driver who took away the mother and daughter and kept asking.
"You mean, she said she wanted to buy maltose for Qingqing, so she got off the carriage and never came back?"
The coachman had already been fired by the Yin family because he didn't pick him up that time. He has been busy doing part-time work recently to help people with the autumn harvest. But the person in front of him was Lord Xia, and he didn't dare to neglect him no matter how busy he was! He said hurriedly, "Yes.
I don't know why my wife took Miss Qingqing away. Later, when I couldn't wait for anyone on the roadside, I went to the sugar shop and asked. The man inside said that it was convenient for my wife to borrow a hut from him, so maybe I could go through the back door.
gone."
Xia Junkai frowned. He still knew his wife's temperament. She was gentle and virtuous, but not courageous. It was not like she could do such a thing. Since the Yin family wanted to take her in, why would she run away without saying hello?
There are a lot of discussions outside now, and some people are secretly saying that the child in Lin Liqiu's belly is probably not of Xia family blood, but has eloped with an adulterer.
Of course, I didn't dare to say these words in front of Xia Junkai. If they really spread, it would bring bad reputation to him, not to mention that it was just speculation.
Ms. Xia stood aside and sighed, "You said in your letter that we should send her away. I planned to stay one night and send her to the next town to give birth. We will wait until you come back. I don't know why she left.
...Later I even inquired about it. She took a carriage from the town to the next town, and then found a carriage from there to go to the county seat. I even asked people to go to the county seat to search, but found nothing."
Yin Changle sat aside, "Cousin, we are our own family, so I will tell you some things directly. You have been away for half a year to catch up with the exam, will she really be with someone..."
"She's not stupid!" Xia Junkai said angrily, "I've already been elected, if she searches again, will she find someone like me?"
It was not appropriate to get angry in his uncle's house. Xia Junkai held back his anger and softened his tone, "She is not this kind of person. Besides, I believe in the relationship between us. I believe that she was harmed by someone, but I don't believe that she eloped with someone."
!”
Yin Changle coughed, "But who will harm her?"
Xia also said, "The letter is written in your own hand."
"Yes!" Xia's father also felt that he was wronged. "Is she okay? She has been the daughter-in-law of the Xia family for ten years and is about to give birth. This matter is of great importance. I lit a candle at the time and compared it word by word.
Half the night, I was stunned but couldn't find any flaws. I sent her away after I confirmed that it was your handwriting."
Xia Junkai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were already faintly red, "Is she willing to leave?"
Mrs. Zhou coughed and said, "Yes, but she was not satisfied with the money your father gave her and insisted on asking for fifty taels. Your father and I asked your aunt to borrow money. She even took the time to go to the Lin family to say goodbye. Later she packed two bags, a little
I didn’t even hesitate, I just left...” Apart from crying all night after getting the letter, she didn’t seem to have any intention of staying during breakfast the next day.
"She was forced by you!" Xia Junkai couldn't bear it anymore and said excitedly, "Think about it with your brains. Just look at how I usually get along with her. Do you think I will drive her away?"
Father Xia was angry when his son was so rude. He slapped the letter on the table and said, "This is what you wrote in your own hand. Li Qiu is carrying my grandson in her belly. Even though I am not a human being, I have never thought of driving her away at this time!"
"
Seeing the letter, Xia Junkai felt cold all over and gritted his teeth and said, "Someone is plotting against me!"
"Humph!" Father Xia didn't believe it, "Then tell me, how did they plan for you to write this letter?"
Yes, how do you write such a letter?
Xia Junkai took out the last two sheets of letter paper and said, "Look, the previous one was written by me. She is 1 month old. I ask you to be considerate and take care of her. This is the end of the letter. There is another one with honorifics, but now the last one
One piece..."
[However, the official career is difficult and dangerous. If you want to get ahead, you must find strong support from your in-laws, and ask your parents to help send her away as soon as possible. What your son owes her, he will pay back in his next life.]
He looked down at the messy handwriting on it, and the perfunctory and coolness in it jumped out on the paper. The more he looked at it, the deeper his heart sank. The hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually blurred... Beginning of autumn, seeing this in Beginning of Autumn
The handwriting and tone must be so sad. She was about to give birth and suffered such a big blow. If it was difficult to give birth... He simply didn't dare to think about it.
"This is indeed what I wrote, but it is not for you." Xia Junkai's voice was choked and he said in a low voice, "This is a script that someone asked me to copy. The words must be the same size, and the beginning and end of each page cannot be changed. The requirements are extremely high.
Harsh. I copied hundreds of copies, and I want to buy her a hairpin..." By the end of the sentence, she had lost her voice.
The room was quiet. Xia Junkai was so sad that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he got up and went to the door, "I want to find her back!"
After taking two steps, he fell to the ground.
Xia Junkai had not recovered from his illness. He had been holding on for the past two days, not eating much or sleeping much. He fainted and lay there for two full days. In his dream, the beautiful figure who was flying away from the back office of Zhizhou appeared.
Many times. No matter how hoarse he shouted, he never looked back.
When he woke up again, Mr. Zhou lay beside the bed. Seeing him open his eyes, he said happily, "Junkai, you're awake..."
Xia Junkai's whole body was sore. After eating a bowl of porridge, he stood up and said, "Where's the medicine?"
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly delivered the medicine and advised, "You have to take care of yourself, not only for yourself, but also for your father and me. You have been in coma for two days, and your father has not slept. If you continue like this, are you going to let us
Will the white-haired person give the black-haired person a gift?"
She cried, "If you really...then we won't live either..."
Xia Junkai took the medicine and drank it in one gulp, "I won't bear to die before I find out the truth of the matter!"
He raised his eyes and looked towards the main room of the Yin family, his eyes serious.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou knew that her son was suspicious of his aunt, or to be precise, he was suspicious of Yin Changle. After all, family letters were secrets, and some people would even put banknotes in them, so outsiders could not touch them.
Generally, candidates who go to Beijing to take exams will bring one or two bookboys with them. The Xia family is not rich, and Xia Junkai had no intention of taking them with him. He is not someone who pretends to be fat despite his ability to accomplish many things.
But since he took the exam to become a scholar, Yin Changle has been accompanying him. It's not that the two cousins have a good relationship, but they just want to follow him to the county town to meet him, and later to do business. This time when he came back from the capital, Yin Changle brought a lot of things back.
, are all in short supply.
Mrs. Zhou hesitated and said, "Junkai, Changle is very good to you, he should..."
Xia Junkai snorted coldly. After he finished writing his letter home that day, Yin Changle joked with him, saying that he could not live without his wife. The other brothers who lived together at the time also made fun of him, and several of them even came over to see it with their own eyes. He saw the robbery
However, he let them see it openly. After all, it was nothing to ask his parents to take care of his wife who was about to give birth.
After that, he took the letter back and checked it carefully before sealing it and sending it out.
But he never expected that someone would tamper with the letters he sent home!
It's easy to find out. Go to the inn and ask who took the letter he sent and opened it, and you will know the mastermind behind the scenes. But the capital is thousands of miles away from here. This time he entered the Hanlin Academy and would not leave.
When Hao came back, his original intention was to take his parents, wife and children with him and set off.
The most important thing is to find someone!
While Xia Junkai was looking for someone, he also didn't forget to take the medicine. After confirming that there was none in the two towns, he packed his luggage and planned to go to the county seat. If he still couldn't find it, he wanted to go to the post office of Zhizhou Prefecture...
Xia Junkai packed his luggage and rushed to take exams many times. He did all these things himself. The clothes were folded in a similar manner. As he folded them, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. His wife taught him how to fold clothes.
Seeing him packing his luggage, Mrs. Zhou was a little panicked, "Many people came to ask when our family will entertain guests, and some elders in the village asked, when will you go home to worship your ancestors?"
"Don't worry!" Xia Junkai said calmly.
Yin Changle sat on a chair nearby, "Cousin, in this world, where are you going to find someone?"
Xia Junkai remained silent.
When Yin Changle saw this, he coughed and said, "Aunt, you go out first, I will advise my cousin."
Mrs. Zhou was not very happy, but her son never listened to her, so he had to go out to comfort Xia's father who was squatting under the eaves.
Xia Junkai didn't look at anyone. He folded his clothes, put in his baggage, tied it with a knot skillfully, picked it up and headed to the door.
Yin Changle over there quickly stood up and closed the door, grabbing Xia Junkai's baggage, "Cousin, my cousin has been away for a month, where are you going to find her? Don't leave yet, I'll help you analyze it."
Dragging the man back to the chair, Yin Changle saw him sullen and said in a low voice, "You have just entered the official career and really need your in-laws. My cousins may have thought of this and left voluntarily. You can't let her down!"
As long as a man is alive, he should make a career. There are many noble ladies in the capital. If you look for any one at random, who is not more powerful than her, how much trouble will you save? If you come out of the Hanlin Academy and go directly to the Sixth Department without being released, how many years will you save?
Struggle? If you really can’t let her go, you can find her back when you have the power in the future...or take her back after you take office in three years!"
Xia Junkai lowered his head, his eyes cold, but the baggage he was carrying slid down his shoulders and was placed on his lap.
This action is obviously tempting!
Yin Changle looked slightly relieved and continued to persuade, "Those noble ladies will not humiliate you if they raise you with tender skin and tender flesh. It's just a matter of having one more woman..."
Xia Junkai interrupted him, "Then tell me, who would it be better for me to marry?"
Yin Changle chuckled, "Then it's not up to you to choose. The second daughter of Zuo Du Yushi and the concubine of Anping County House are all noble ladies who are rumored to like you."
"Are there any other candidates?" Xia Junkai never raised his head.
Yin Changle couldn't see his expression clearly, so he tentatively said, "The eldest daughter of the Minister of Hubu is not bad either... Even though the Minister of Hubu's official position is not high, his daughter is his legitimate daughter, and she doesn't have many sisters. As long as he marries her, he is still afraid
The Minister of Household Affairs won’t help you?”
Xia Junkai looked at his hand on the table and asked in a deep voice, "What benefits did he give you?"
"What?" Yin Changle was stunned.
"What are you pretending to be?" Xia Junkai suddenly stood up, clenched his fist and beat Yin Changle.
But Yin Changle was not the only one who was beaten. After receiving two blows, he realized what he was doing and started to fight back. The two of them fought inextricably. When several people who heard the noise outside the door chased after him, Xia Junkai was carrying a chair and hitting Yin Changle hard.
The four people outside quickly tried to persuade them, "Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Xia Junkai exerted all his strength, and the chair fell apart. Finally, he slammed the chair at the door, picked up the baggage, and said solemnly, "If something happens to Liqiu and the child, your family and I will fight to the death!"
"
At this time, he suspected that Lin Liqiu had discovered something was wrong with the Yin family and slipped away quietly.
After leaving the gate, Zhou chased him out, "Junkai, where are you going?"
Xia Junkai didn't look back, "I'll take them home!"
…
More than twenty days have passed since I met Xia Junkai. Chu Yunli has been living a comfortable life recently. Her child is almost two months old. After she is one month old, she often takes her two children to wander around the streets. The only thing that feels bad is that, because
She needs to breastfeed, so she shouldn't eat anything with too strong a taste. There are many things that can only be looked at but not eaten.
That day, someone knocked on the door outside. Sister-in-law Zhang went to open it. When she saw the young man at the door, she smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?"
