Chapter 4

The sky gradually darkened.

Chunliu returned to the lower room with a food box.

Hanzhu asked her in a hurry: "What's wrong with the second girl?"

Chunliu put the food box on the table and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, girl, that person is reasonable. He asked the master to accompany the second girl to have dinner. Maybe the master was there at night. During the day, the master went out and asked Qiulan to come into the house to serve her. I asked Qiulan to inquire with Qiulan. The second girl was very obedient and sat at the table to write, not crying or making a fuss, and the man did not make things difficult for the second girl."

Hanzhu finally let go of her heart.

But still has no appetite.

Chunliu saw her sitting at the dining table without moving, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she advised with heartache: "Girl, use it quickly, the master is sick, the second girl is young, if the girl doesn't care about her body, what should I do if something happens?"

Hanzhu looked at her and forced herself to pick up the chopsticks.

As night fell, she looked at the bright moon outside the window and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In the wing room, Cheng Yu moved the outer couch to the inner room and let Ningzhu sleep on his head. Jiang Jizhou and Yi lie outside, guarding his daughter. Cheng Yu was standing beside Dingwang, with his eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep.

After a while, King Ding's arm moved, Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes and found that King Ding was awake in the moonlight.

"Second brother." He leaned over and called softly.

King Ding glanced around him, and he couldn't make any sound in his throat, so he asked with his eyes.

"Second brother, wait." Cheng Yu got up, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, walked to Jiang Jizhou and his daughter's bed, placed the porcelain bottle at their noses, and each stopped for five or six breaths before he took it away. When he went out, he would carry some things on his body and also had medicine for injury, but unfortunately he fell off when he ran away.

Confirm that the two of them were asleep, Cheng Yu poured a glass of boiled water and fed it to King Ding considerately.

"What is this?" After drinking water, Ding Wang felt much better and asked in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Yu briefly explained the daytime incident and finally said, "The assassins are coming in a fierce manner, and I am determined to win you and me. I sent Chen Shuo to lead them away. Even if Chen Shuo and others fail, it will take several days for the assassins to recover. At that time, they will definitely not believe that we dare to stay in Jiangnan and will chase northwards. So the second brother is relieved these days. After the injury is healed, we will discuss the route back to Beijing."

King Ding nodded, this was considered a big vague place in the market.

Touching his chest gently, Ding Wang Chao Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, you are by my side. Without you, I have been hurt by the other party."

Cheng Yu is the second son of King Jing, both civil and military. He was his companion when he was young. He entered the Shenqiu Camp at the age of 16. This year, his father ordered him to fight against the Japanese in Fujian. Knowing that he and Cheng Yu were brothers, he sent Cheng Yu to assist him. Cheng Yu was indeed capable. This time, he successfully fought against the Japanese invaders, and he took at least three successful labors.

Cheng Yu smiled and leaned against the head of the bed and said to him: "Whether you and my friendship is, no matter how polite the second brother is, I dare not call him second brother again." He called him the prince or his highness for the other princes.

King Ding didn't say anything about the false, glanced at the father and daughter on the couch over there, frowned and said, "I'm sure they won't spread it?"

Cheng Yu agreed that their luck was not too bad, and they encountered such a small family that was easy to deal with.

Ding Wang Xin's judgment was that because he lost too much blood during the day, he said a few words and felt exhausted again, and then continued to sleep. Only after he had a good rest could he return to Beijing as soon as possible and settle the score with his brothers.

The next day is Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the morning, Jiang Jizhou stayed in the house as a hostage and asked Ningzhu to go back to the room to wash. Ningzhu missed her sister. After washing, she went to the lower room to see her sister first.

When Hanzhu saw her sister, she hurriedly pulled her to her for a closer look, and confirmed that her sister was unscathed. She asked with distress: "Are you afraid of me?"

Ningzhu shook her head and smiled and said to her sister: "I am obedient, he doesn't care about me. I will do whatever I want. Sister, Daddy said we will have breakfast together. My sister promised to make osmanthus mooncakes for me. Is it ready?"

The little girl was so happy that she knew how to eat, but Hanzhu was quite relieved, "I forgot yesterday, sister, don't worry, sister, I'll do it later."

Ningzhu swallowed, "I want to see my sister do it."

Hanzhu looked at Qiulan who was following him.

Qiulan snorted, "Don't worry, big girl, the master will not go out today. As long as the master is with them, it will be fine for the second girl to stay here."

Zhang Fu is her biological brother. The evil man hurts his brother. Qiulan hated him all night and couldn't help but feel resentful when talking.

Hanzhu ordered people to prepare ingredients with peace of mind, and she taught her sister to make osmanthus mooncakes.

After the preparation, the two sisters ate one together. Ningzhu was so young that she was afraid and curious about the two of them. Now she wanted to go back and held the tray and said, "I'll take it over for my father to eat."

Hanzhu looked at the mooncakes and whispered to her sister, "When you get there, if someone asks, my sister will say that the mooncakes are made by the nanny in the kitchen. Don't ask her sister in front of them, do you know?" Since the man specifically reminded her, the injured young master probably has a bad character, right?

Ningzhu didn't know why she lie, but she listened to her sister's words the most, so she obediently agreed.

Hanzhu stood at the door and watched her sister, secretly hoping that the two uninvited guests would leave earlier so that their family could restore their original peaceful life.

Ningzhu quickly entered the house with his mooncakes.

Jiang Jizhou sat alone at the desk, Ding Wang was lying on the bed, and Cheng Yu was standing by.

Ningzhu glanced at them, walked to her father in a small way, and said obediently: "Dad eats mooncakes, it's just made, but it's still hot."

When Jiang Jizhou saw the mooncakes, he knew that they were made by the eldest daughter. When he touched his little daughter's head, he took the mooncakes to the edge of the bed, polite, "Two young men, try it?"

King Ding didn't like sweets and looked at Cheng Yu jokingly.

Cheng Yu glared at him and refused coldly, "No."

Jiang Jizhou immediately understood that he was afraid that something would be placed in the mooncakes.

Jiang Jizhou was misunderstood as a villain, and was not angry. He brought the mooncake back to the table, picked up a mooncake and asked his little daughter: "Do you still eat it?"

Ningzhu licked her lips, reached out and gestured along the mooncakes in her father's hand, "I'll eat so much more."

My daughter is cute and cute. Jiang Jizhou felt very distressed and broke what she wanted for her little daughter.

Ningzhu took it, and the father and daughter ate it against each other.

King Ding looked at the little girl by the window, and for some reason he suddenly became a little greedy. He looked at Cheng Yu again, closed his eyes and rolled his throat quietly.

King Ding couldn't help but remember that when he was a child, several people were studying in the imperial study room. Cheng Yu always hid two pieces of pastries in his sleeves. It was not until his biological mother, Princess Jing, passed away that Cheng Yu stopped stealing food.

When it was noon on the sun, Jiang Jizhou was called away by Uncle Zhang.

King Ding called Ningzhu, "Get me a mooncake."

Ningzhu reached out to get the mooncakes, took two steps towards him, suddenly stopped, looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Do you two eat together?"

King Ding smiled and nodded.

He looked handsome and smiled like a spring breeze. Ningzhu became less afraid of him. He walked up to him, handed him the mooncake, and explained in a low voice: "The osmanthus is placed inside, it's so delicious."

King Ding nodded, and he broke a small corner of the mooncake, barely brought some stuffing, and handed the rest to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu glared at him again, but took the mooncakes and ate them in the direction of the window. The mooncakes had thin skin and a lot of fillings, and they were still his favorite soft-filled mooncakes. They were sweet but not greasy, moist and undry. They liked them in their hearts, and unknowingly they ate most of them. After eating, Cheng Yu looked at the plate of mooncakes on the table and thought that the chef of the Jiang family was good, but unfortunately there was no one around him. Otherwise, someone would ask for a recipe for mooncakes in the kitchen, and could eat them again after returning to Beijing.

Seeing that others were greedy and he didn't like it, King Ding asked Ningzhu to get another piece for Cheng Yu.

Ningzhu ran errands obediently.

Cheng Yu took it again. Halfway through the meal, Jiang Jizhou came back.

Cheng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he finished half of the rest with a cold face.

~

In the backyard of the county government office, Chen Ze's family was having a reunion dinner. After the meal, he and his wife Ye returned to the inner room and told her: "This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival we have spent in Wutong County. We will hold a moon-watching banquet the next day. I have prepared all the posts. You can send someone to send them out tomorrow."

The Jiang family's prospective son-in-law Gu Heng's autumn examination in the city is the last one today, but according to the rules, he will definitely travel around with his classmates after the exam. In addition, it will take two days to return from Hangzhou, so he still has about five or six days to plan. With Jiang Hanzhu's appearance, Gu Heng may not be able to give up, so he has to mess up the marriage before Gu Heng comes back.

"What is the Gu family?" Ye took the list and looked at it. She lived in Wutong County for half a year. Everyone knows about famous families, but the Gu family has never heard of it.

Ye was broad-minded and jealous. Chen Ze still liked her very much. He patiently explained to her: "The Gu family was originally a merchant family, and his family wealth was among the top three in the county. Later, Mr. Gu went to sea to cover the boat and returned all his money to pay back his debts..."

Ye frowned and complained to him: "Why should the master invite him to do such a family?"

Chen Ze smiled and clicked on her forehead and said, "The only son of Gu Heng, a scholar from the No. 15 Middle School, has piloted the case. This year's autumn examination is also very likely to be in high school. Do you think I should make friends?"

Ye immediately smiled and responded happily.

Old Mrs. Gu was also very happy after receiving the post.

After the son died at sea, their mothers sold their wealthy house to pay off their debts and live in the countryside. The grandson went to the county school and asked Jiang Jizhou to help. In those years, he could not get in contact with the wealthy families in the county. Three years ago, the grandson was the head of the case and won the favor of many noble people. The family gradually saved some money and re-leased a small house that had two inches in the county town, and gradually returned to the scene. However, this is the first time that the post from the magistrate's family has received this year.

It seems that the magistrate is also optimistic about his grandson's talent.

"Alan, put on the newly made shirt the next day, and my grandmother will take you to the magistrate's house as a guest." She happily reminded her granddaughter.

Gu Lan nodded excitedly, got up and tried his clothes. He walked to the door, stopped slowly, turned around and asked, "Grandma, have they also posted a post to the Jiang family?"

Old Mrs. Gu snorted, "The Jiang family has no head wife, why do you send them a post? Could it be that you would like to invite an eight-year-old girl?" Jiang Hanzhu got engaged, and it was even more impossible for her to go out for a guest unless she had something to ask for.

I heard that Jiang Hanzhu would not go, Gu Lan was in a better mood and left with brisk steps.

Old Mrs. Gu leaned on the couch and held up the post and looked at it for a while. The more she looked, the tighter she felt.

Her grandson must be good at being good at being good at being good at being talented, but she tied it up with Jiang Hanzhu, who lost her mother early. It was all because Jiang Jizhou was cunning. He saw that his grandson had a future and pretended to be sick the year before his grandson took the exam for scholarship. Jiang Jizhou studied teaching in the county, and his grandson's Shu Xiu was given by the Jiang family. If they did not agree, would Jiang Jizhou not help his grandson, and even slandered his reputation completely cut off his path to the imperial examination?

It's simply a desire to repay kindness!

If there was no such a troublemaker in the Jiang family, and if the grandson passed the juren and passed the Jinshi in the future, would he want a good marriage?

I just regret that the marriage was settled, and my grandson regretted the marriage again in high school and wasted the verbal remarks.
