Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The next day, Wei Shuyi took Minglan and others to send his sister out of the Sheng family at the second gate.

Minglan said that he would be raised by the old lady, but the old lady did not say that Minglan would live in Shou'antang immediately.

In the past, after Minglan came to say hello in the morning, she would mostly go back to the side courtyard, but now she stayed with the old lady to have breakfast together. After breakfast, the old lady taught Minglan how to read, and Fang's mother taught her daughter Hong. In the evening, she stayed in Shou'an Hall After dinner, we went back to the courtyard.

On the fourth day, a small room separated by a lattice fan was prepared in the bedroom of Shouan Hall, and Minglan really lived here.

At night, the old lady changed her clothes and asked her mother softly: "Are you asleep?"

Fang's mother nodded and said, "I fell asleep, I didn't cry."

The old lady nodded and said, "Such a young child didn't cry. I think her mother taught her well."

Fang's mother nodded: "Yes, it's Miss Six who's been looking at Brother Jing with her lips pouted these past few days."

"This little bully monkey is called Sixth Sister when there are a lot of people, and Minglan is a yellow-haired girl when there are few people. It's strange to be happy to see him. What are you busy with when you can't see Brother Jing during the past two days?"

"Every morning after young master Biao practices, he goes to study with Brother Bai. Brother Ye from the Gu family also came two days ago."

"Okay, studying is good! I see that there is no time to finish the official affairs in Yangzhou. Fortunately, it does not delay the important imperial examinations of the state and county."

"What the old lady said is that when everything is over, we may have to go to Bianjing together and take care of each other."

"Well, we have to go to the mountain in advance to pay homage to the real person and move Brother Zhen's spirit to Bianjing."

late February,

The Yangzhou County Examination was held as scheduled.

Changbai exited and passed smoothly.

For this reason, Sheng Hong specially held a thank-you banquet at his home, and many people from Yangzhou official circles came to congratulate him.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that this Yangzhou magistrate will be promoted to Bianjing.

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye also studied together with Changbai after the county examination, referring to the county examination questions and Changbai's answers.

Stars move

It's March,

The weather is getting warmer,

On this day, Hua Lan, who had been embroidering her dowry at home for a long time, was called by the Wang family and attended the first gathering of officials and family members after the turmoil in Yangzhou Prefecture with Ru Lan.

Mrs. Peng from the Hong family in Zhizhou didn't feel too embarrassed when she saw the Wang family. She was more sighing and grateful for the rest of her life, because many ladies she knew from previous gatherings, such as those from the Qi family, had already been captured and imprisoned.

"A few days ago, the housekeeper at home went out to do some shopping, and she saw the sold servants of the Qi family in the south of the city." Mrs. Peng said with a sigh.

"Ouch! What about the eldest lady and girls in their family? Didn't you talk about the Gao family in Laizhou before?" Wang asked with a frown.

"It was just a verbal agreement at your house that day. How can anyone recognize that something like this happened in their family? Apart from these disappointing things, it is really gratifying and congratulatory for Sheng Tongpan to be promoted to Bianjing."

"Oh, God bless you!" Wang Ruofu sincerely joined his hands and bowed several times.

This party was no longer as lively as before.

Before the moment was right, the ladies all left with little interest.

A carriage bearing the Sheng family brand was walking on the streets of Yangzhou. Hua Lan and Ru Lan suddenly heard a woman crying in the carriage.

Wang Ruofu stuck to the curtain of the carriage and asked outside, "Mother Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu's mother, who was following the carriage, said, "Madam, you are a family member of the prisoner."

Hearing this, sisters Wang Ruofu and Hualan opened the curtain and looked outside.

"Sister, isn't that the second girl of the Qi family?" Ru Lan whispered to Hua Lan in the carriage.

Hualan nodded and looked outside the car. A group of government officials were escorting a group of female relatives on the street. Miss Qi Er, who had always been at odds with her before, now had no jewelry on her hair, her hair was disheveled, and she was still walking around. You can see the tattoo on his forehead, and there are no satin clothes on his body, only the ocher clothes that represent the prisoners.

The yamen servant looked at the word "Sheng" on the carriage and knew it was the carriage belonging to the Sheng family. He asked the prisoner's family to stop on the roadside to show their respect.

This group of family members of the prison officials also saw the carriage. Among them, Miss Qi Er looked up and saw Hua Lan exposed in the carriage. There was no happy look in Hua Lan's eyes.

The people in the carriage were still wearing silks and pearls, but now she, Miss Qi Er, had become a lowly criminal, and they had never been the same since.

She lowered her head and no longer looked at the Sheng family's carriage. At this time, she heard a sneer. When she looked up, it was the Hong family behind the Sheng family's carriage. The Hong San girl above was looking at her with a sarcastic face. , shook his head and lowered the curtain.

Miss Hong San put down the curtain and said to her mother: "Mom, how did the Qi family end up in such a situation?"

Mrs. Peng's lips showed a hint of sarcasm as she said: "The salt official in one state has almost become the leader of the gang of salt merchants. He has taken advantage of the stolen goods and has a mountain of wealth in his family. The Gao family in Laizhou even settled in Qijia because of the dowry given by their family." .”

"I used to think that their family had some relationship with the Duke of Qi, but now it seems."

While they were talking, the Hong family's carriage stopped, and the mother-in-law outside the carriage said directly without waiting for the Hong family's mother and daughter in the car to ask: "Madam, the housekeeper of the Sheng family in front gave money to the government officials, are we right?"

Mrs. Peng opened the curtain again and took a look and said, "Let's give some too! Our Hong family is not a cold family."

After receiving the money, the government officials bowed and thanked them, promising to take good care of the prisoners.

Miss Qi Er had done good deeds like this with her mother before, but she never expected that she would be the one who was the one doing good deeds.

The carriage and the prisoners passed by each other, and there would be no chance of meeting them in this life.

Sheng Changbai, Xu Zaijing, and Gu Tingye, who were returning from riding horses on the river in the south of the city, also saw this scene.

Because he was riding a horse, Xu Zaijing almost entered the gate together with the Sheng family's carriage.

Xu Zaijing went to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects and called Minglan "Yellow-haired Girl". As a result, Mrs. Sheng slapped her hard and said, "You can't call our Girl Ming like that in the future!"

"By the way, great-aunt, here is the medical book that Tingye brought to me today. It was said to be written by the doctor by my sister's side."

Mrs. Sheng took the thin booklet from Xu Zaijing's hand, opened it, looked at it carefully and nodded.

"Tomorrow."

Minglan opened her big eyes, full of expectation and happiness.

The old lady smiled and said in Minglan's ear: "Don't let others know about this."

Minglan nodded vigorously, and then she and Xiao Tao happily ran out of Shou'an Hall and towards the side courtyard.

Wang also got off the carriage, Hua Lan took Ru Lan to greet the old lady, and Xu Zaijing avoided the Shou'an Hall.

Seeing Hua Lan's depressed look, the old lady just asked a few questions, and Hualan told the old lady what he saw today.

Mrs. Sheng said: "You only reach out for the first time and countless times if you take advantage of the stolen money. The head of the Qi family has accepted the first payment, and it will be useless if he doesn't accept it later. Hua'er, don't worry about things unfounded. Your father is tactful, cautious, and cautious. With the support of Youyang Dafang, our family would not be like this."

Looking into Hua Lan's eyes, the old lady understood what she was thinking and smiled: "Look at how disciplined your cousin Jing is and how he has shown his face in front of the Holy Lord several times. The boss has already followed your uncle Shi in the army. With experience, Zaizhang is currently studying, not to mention Pingmei. You don't want to offend others, our family is different from the Qi family who was convicted."

"Yes." Hua Lan nodded as he listened to the old lady's explanation.

Linqi Pavilion,

Lin Sushuang is concentrating on teaching Mo Lan how to practice calligraphy. Although Sheng Hong has not come to her these days, she does not have many doubts in her heart because Dongrong informed the Wang family relatives in advance about the promotion of the Ministry of Officials.

Because sometimes a little farewell is better than a wedding. How could someone like Wang Ruofu, who was dull and boring, be her opponent?

After dark, Mo Lan went to the bedroom. Lin Sushuang and Zhou Xueniang were cutting the wicks of candles in the main hall and talking:

"According to the doctor Zhang's diagnosis, the child in this private hospital is not far away from having a baby."

"Then, little girl, when will she let her second uncle?"

"Is she still drinking the astragalus tea?"

"Go back to my wife, you are drinking. Our little girl in the courtyard often sees Xiaodie making astragalus tea at the entrance of the side courtyard."

"That's good, let's do it earlier. People with dirty things can't just walk in and bump into pregnant women. No one can bear the responsibility."

"What I said is true. But a few days ago, my sister from the side yard came. Do we still want it?"

Lin Sushuang sneered and said nothing.

In mid-March,

A roadside inn is located on Huainan East Road, which is the only way to the south.

Zhaomeifeng slowly walked into the yard where the inn was located with the officials from the Imperial City Division. He looked at a middle-aged man who was pushing a cart dressed as an ordinary person and said: "Brother, you are still so patient. You have waited for so long. Just left Yangzhou."

"No matter how patient I am, I have already fallen into your hands, junior brother." When the middle-aged man saw Zhaomei Peak, he had already secretly pulled out the fire stick he was carrying and put it on the cart.

He continued: "However, I have always had a question, how did you catch up? And when did the Imperial City Division have such powerful people who could wipe out all the soldiers who had supported me before?"

"Since senior brother asked, junior brother can only tell you that the answer to these questions is
