The woman opposite was not afraid at all and even laughed, "Haha, do you know who I am?"
"I don't know." Chu Yunli said in a serious voice, "Sister-in-law Xi, go report to the official!"
Sister-in-law Xi came out of the kitchen, a little at a loss, but walked towards the door step by step.
The mother-in-law stopped Sister-in-law Xi and said, "I want you to know that my lord is the head of the Household Department and a serious sixth-grade official."
Nowadays, Xia Junkai is just a concubine in the Hanlin Academy and has no rank yet.
"So what?" Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, "You are not welcome in our home, please."
The woman smiled and said, "As a family member of an official, you don't know how to take detours. I would like to advise you, for a vulgar woman like you, if it is really for your man's benefit, you should ask yourself to come down." She came closer and said,
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that Mr. Xia is young and promising, good-looking, and has a daughter to match him! You blocked his way, and you don't even know how to die..."
Chu Yunli blinked, "Is your daughter so worthless? Can't you get married? Do you have to keep an eye on other people's men? As a family member of an official, you came to threaten me. Does this count as knowing the law and breaking the law?"
The repeated questions, especially the words about not being able to get married, made the lady look ugly, "So it seems that you don't agree?"
"I'm more curious about who is the noble girl who likes my man?" Chu Yunli looked puzzled, "My man is just smarter. I select a batch of these concubines every three years, at least a dozen each time. If I meet
Kai Enke is even more. Why should a noble lady have to look at a married man? What's more, my husband is from a poor family and although he looks good, he is not from the right family. Is the noble girl blind? I am the only one.
Even rural women know that they can’t take other people’s men, but noble ladies are so shameless? How dare they come to you? I’m from a poor background and short-sighted. Should I go out and ask, are all the noble ladies in the capital like this?”
The lady was a little stunned. She didn't expect such a country woman to be so sharp-tongued. She just said, "I came here to persuade you with good intentions. If you don't believe it, huh!"
Just hum and leave.
Chu Yunli also asked, "Madam, you should tell me clearly before you leave, which noble lady is it?"
As the sun set, Xia Junkai came back. As soon as he entered the door, he looked at the two children and the food was already on the table. Chu Yunli sat opposite him and watched him talk to Xia Qingqing tenderly.
"Qingqing, go and look at your brother."
Xia Qingqing was very obedient and left quickly.
There were only two people left in the room. Chu Yunli leaned on the chair and said, "Today the wife of the head of the Household Department came to the door and asked me to understand myself! Or if I stay here any longer, I don't know how I will die."
Xia Junkai looked ugly, "I won't let anything happen to you."
Chu Yunli pinched her fingers and said, "It stands to reason that there are so many common people, but not all of them are promising. There are also some who have been squatting in the Hanlin Academy for a lifetime. Why would someone focus on you?" She didn't believe in being raised seriously.
The noble girl is so stupid that she insists on liking a married man.
Even if she is really stupid, the elders in the family will not let her act nonsense. A young girl probably cannot do this.
Looking at the clear eyes of the woman opposite him, Xia Junkai closed his eyes.
When she became gentle, she was very similar to the previous Li Qiu. But once such a cold and clear expression appeared, she could no longer find the person she was familiar with.
After a long while, Xia Junkai regained his composure, "Before taking part in the examination, many of our candidates from out of town were reciting poems and composing poems in a restaurant. One time they talked about the Wu Guangzheng case of the previous dynasty..." He paused
After a pause, he was a little doubtful whether the woman opposite could understand, but seeing that she listened carefully, he continued, "Wu Guangzheng was a Jinshi in Yong'an for thirty-five years. He has a smooth temper. It only took him more than ten years to become a remote county magistrate."
When he became the governor of Qiuzhou, it happened that there was a drought in Qiuzhou. He donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver alone to buy food and medicine, saving the lives of countless people. However, he was born in a poor family and could not afford hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with his mere salary of more than ten years.
Naturally, he couldn't get it together. All the money was obtained through the filial piety and greed of various merchants. After the drought, he was captured by Emperor Yong'an. Finally... he was sentenced to beheading and the whole family was exiled."
After Chu Yunli arrived, he didn't have time to read, so he nodded and said, "Are you arguing about him?"
"Yes." Xia Junkai's tone lowered, "There were two waves at that time. Some people thought that wrong was wrong, the law was above all, and that Wu Guangzheng's collusion between officials and businessmen was real and should be cut down. But some people thought that Wu Guangzheng's embezzlement of money was also for relief.
People, it is a fact that they saved lives. They should be given a lighter sentence."
Chu Yunli was curious, "What did you say?"
She asked this, and it was obvious that she understood, but Xia Junkai felt more and more disappointed, because Li Qiu didn't understand these things, and she didn't have so many complicated thoughts in her mind. She only focused on him as her child, and giving the rest to her relatives...
…
After being disappointed, Xia Junkai cheered up and said, "I am more inclined to the former. Wrong is wrong. Moreover, I think the reason why Wu Guangzheng is willing to help the people is not pure. He wants to get away with it! Moreover, Emperor Yong'an has already
He was given a lenient sentence and his family was spared."
"At that time, many people refuted me, and some agreed with me...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went on tour incognito, and he happened to be upstairs. He even praised me a few times when he came downstairs. Later, I was on the examination list, and the emperor asked me more questions during the palace examination.
Some, after the results were released, I came in eighth place, and at the banquet that night, the emperor kissed me and walked in front of him..."
At this point, Xia Junkai is considered a celebrity in the royal family. Among the new scholars with no background, he is considered to have the best starting point. As long as he does not make any big mistakes in his life, such as being greedy for ink, his career will go smoothly.
No wonder...
The more he spoke, the lower he got. He covered his face and said hoarsely, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the restaurant that day... I shouldn't have drank, let alone said those words... I never imagined that their hands would stretch out so long.
, actually asked Yin Changle to exchange my letters and hurt my wife and children..."
Well...if Yin Changle didn't agree, Baihua Town is thousands of miles away, and it would probably be a little difficult for the people behind the scenes to harm Lin Liqiu. Maybe they would do it after they get to the capital, but with the relationship between the two of them,
It won't be that easy.
He covered his face and his shoulders were shaking. No cry came out, but it made people feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Chu Yunli sighed, "You are right, it is someone else who is wrong!"
Not long after, Mrs. Xi came in to clean up the dishes. In front of others, Xia Junkai quickly calmed down. After she went out, he also stood up, his shoulders bent a little, and walked out slowly. When he was about to go out, he paused and said nothing.
Turning around, he asked hoarsely, "Liqiu, what happened to you?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "I thought you wouldn't ask."
His voice was hoarse, "I still want to know..."
Chu Yunli looked at his lonely back and said, "It's better that you don't know. Anyway, it's something that didn't happen."
"Let me beg you."
Chu Yunli organized his words in his mind and said, "It's just like in Chun City."
Chun City?
At that time, she had to change the carriage, but the horse went crazy after taking it over!
Xia Junkai moved slightly and held on to the wall to avoid falling.
Chu Yunli took a few steps forward and reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"
Xia Junkai, who turned back to look at her, had blood-red eyes and asked persistently, "Her... child..."
Chu Yunli was silent for a moment.
His voice was deep and persistent, "You tell me!"
"On the way to the next town being sent by the Yin family, the horse went crazy and became pregnant..."
Xia Junkai's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he suddenly started coughing. After coughing twice, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and sprayed it all over Chu Yunli's head and face.
Dark red blood flowed down from the corners of his lips in thin lines, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Fine!
Chu Yunli wiped her face, wiped out the blood on her hands, wiped it casually, helped her to the bed, and gave her a prescription for Mrs. Xi to grab the medicine.
In fact, he didn't want to tell him, but he was depressed. Although he had been normal recently, in fact, he had not recovered from his illness and was weak inside. If he did not vomit this blood, it would be of no benefit to his body and would even affect his life span.
If this continues, he can only live for a few more years at most.
Lin Liqiu died in childbirth. She didn't know the fate of Xia Junkai, and she didn't even have the energy to ask about her daughter's injury. Therefore, she didn't even know the fate of her daughter who was riding in the carriage with her.
But just by looking at him now, Chu Yunli could guess that he might have died of illness in his previous life.
Moreover, with her presence in this life, Xia Qingyuan was successfully born, which at least had a buffer. After Xia Junkai returned to his hometown in the previous life, there was suddenly news that his wife had died in childbirth, and perhaps there was also news that Xia Qingqing also died young.
The condition will only get worse than it is now.
Lin Liqiu loved this man and definitely didn't want him to die young, so he had to save him.
Xia Junkai is too persistent and insists on knowing.
Furthermore, he is affectionate. If he didn't tell it, he would think that the Yin family just sent a letter. After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to a woman who is about to give birth. You can see that Xia Junkai and Yan Changle go in and out together.
, they had a good relationship before... Under such circumstances, if she didn't know what the Yin family did, and she attacked the Yin family, maybe he would still stop her.
Now, I probably won't stop him.
It was already noon the next day when Xia Junkai woke up. As soon as he sat up, Chu Yunli came in with a bowl of medicine and said, "Drink it!"
Xia Junkai took it and drank it in one gulp. His chest felt much better, and his hands and feet no longer felt so weak in the past few days. He even felt empty in his stomach, "I'm a little hungry."
This proves that he is getting better. In the past few months, Xia Junkai has never been hungry. He eats whenever he can. If he doesn't, he can go without eating for two or three days. He has lost weight and his face is pale.
At the door, Xia Qingqing came in with a tray, "Dad, have some porridge."
Xia Junkai frowned, lifted the quilt and was about to stand up, "Be careful!"
Chu Yunli held his shoulder and said, "The porridge is warm, so it doesn't matter if you fall. You are a patient now, so just lie down. I asked Mr. Li to give you two days' leave."
Xia Qingqing had grown taller recently. She put the tray on the table, then handed the porridge to her father and said, "Dad, it's not hot at all. There's still some in the pot. You need to get better soon."
Xia Junkai looked at his daughter in light yellow clothes and was filled with joy. After drinking two bowls of porridge, he fell asleep again.
In the next two days, Xia Junkai got better by giving him medicine three times a day, and then went to the Hanlin Academy again. Not long after, he was personally summoned by the emperor to the imperial court.
A few days passed, and occasionally family members of officials would come to visit. Most of them would come to chat and smile openly. Chu Yunli got to know a lot of people. Most of them were family members of the Hanlin Academy. On this day, Mrs. Li next door
Bring a lady here.
Mrs. Li was full of envy, "It's a good thing your mother-in-law didn't come. You don't know, my mother has never stopped. Recently she even wanted to take a concubine!" She said mysteriously, "How about it, do you adults want it?"
Taking an “expensive” concubine?”
