Miao Chuhe went to Qin's house twice more to help arrange some affairs. When the Qin's family settled down completely, he was about to go to Beijing.
In the evening, Miao Cuilan talked to Miao Chuhe, told her to be careful on the road, asked if the things were packed, etc.
Miao Chuhe agreed to explain everything one by one.
Miao Cuilan pondered for a while, and then asked: "You and Yu'er, what's going on these two days? Why do you two seem to be out of place? Yu'er has been listless these two days, and I'm still talking about it behind my back. Seeing her seemed to be wiping away tears. At first I thought she was sad because she couldn't bear you to leave home, but then it didn't look like... "
Miao Chuhe couldn't help but look darkened when he heard this, and fell silent.
"Is something really wrong? What's the matter!" Miao Cuilan became anxious immediately, and complained, "You are too, and you are leaving home soon. Yu'er is a woman after all, so she will inevitably be more careful and think more. Can't you let her go? Are you going to leave like this?"
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe sighed and said helplessly, "It's her who wants to get angry with me, and I will apologize to her. She still ignores her, and she doesn't even want to say a word to me. Neither do I." There is a way!"
"You're not talking nonsense, are you?" Miao Cuilan looked at him dubiously, and said, "We've lived together for so many years, I don't say I know Yu'er's temperament completely, but I probably can't tell the difference! She isn't That kind of unreasonable and troublesome person, did you do something wrong?"
Miao Cuilan actually believed in her brother's character in her heart, but as a man, sometimes it's hard to say what to do on the spur of the moment outside!
The more Miao Cuilan thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was reasonable, and she couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Did you do something wrong to Yu'er outside that she found out and made her sad? Otherwise, it's not like she doesn't understand the general situation, Knowing that you are going to travel far away, I definitely won't make trouble with you!"
"Sister, where do you want to go!" Miao Chuhe suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "How can I be in that mood recently!"
Miao Cuilan snorted: "Who said it must be recently? Maybe Yu'er found out about the past? You think about it carefully, explain it clearly to her and persuade her. Otherwise, you will be in trouble if you are on the road." stable?"
Miao Chuhe couldn't help supporting his forehead, and said weakly: "Sister, Yu'er and I finally got together, and now we have Jin'er again, I cherish everything with her very much, and never thought of anything else ! Don't make wild guesses!"
Miao Cuilan couldn't help being anxious, and said: "What's going on? You should explain clearly! You can't persuade her, I can persuade her!"
Miao Chuhe sighed, "She's blaming me for taking charge of the arson case at the inn in Yuzhang..."
Miao Cuilan became even more confused, and opened her eyes wide and hurriedly said, "Well, what's going on here? If so, then it's her fault. You and Qin Chuan are going to be classmates anyway, stay in Yuzhang for a few more days and wait. It should be a clean result."
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe had no choice but to say softly: "I reported this case, and I also discovered the suspicious points..."
Miao Chuhe simply explained how he went to the scene of the incident and planned to pay homage to Qin Chuan, and then accidentally discovered a suspicious point and reported it to the official, but was perfunctory and shirked by the official, so he investigated in private...
Later, Mr. Wu also went to Yuzhang, found him, and the two of them searched together. It just so happened that another imperial envoy came down to inspect the local post-disaster reconstruction and production recovery situation, and the two set up a bureau to expose the matter in broad daylight, forcing the imperial envoy to investigate thoroughly...
What Miao Chuhe didn't say was that after Mr. Wu found him in Yuzhang, he first persuaded him to give up the matter and not to investigate further, otherwise he might get into trouble and lose his life.
But where is Miao Chuhe willing to listen? Qin Chuan died in vain, and he was already very sad to see the miserable situation of the Qin family. Seeing so many families mourning and crying in Yuzhang, how can the spirits of the scholars who died in vain rest in peace? And if he doesn't know anything about it, that's all. Now that he knows about it, if he doesn't do anything and pretends it didn't happen, he won't be at ease in his life!
Mr. Wu's persuasive persuasion was useless, he let out a long sigh, and investigated the matter together with him, and tried to expose the matter. After the trial of the case was clear, they returned to Maple Leaf Village.
Miao Chuhe didn't intend to tell his sister and wife about this matter. But Tong Yu'er's sense is very keen, she has been suspicious before, how can it be so easy to dismiss? When Miao Chuhe didn't pay attention, she asked her to tell the truth, so she had to tell her about it.
Tong Yu'er was startled and frightened when she heard this, she just felt completely cold all over her body, her heart was beating wildly, she just stared straight at Miao Chuhe, speechless for a while.
Afterwards, there was an explosion, and Miao Chuhe refused to let go, cried and made noises, since that night, he stopped talking to him. No matter how much he comforted and coaxed him to make amends, she froze and didn't respond to him a word. When he lay down at night, he would turn his side inward without even looking at him.
Miao Chuhe is helpless, and it's not easy to show it in front of her sister and husband. How can she feel better these days? There is only one who is more tormented than Tong Yuer.
Unexpectedly, Miao Cuilan was covered in cold sweat after listening to it. She was startled and frightened, she stared at Miao Chuhe and said in a low voice, "What are you doing! You dare to do this when you have the guts of ambition? Do you know that?" Do you know what will happen if those people find out? Are you belittling this life like this? You don’t care about us?”
Miao Cuilan couldn't help her eyes getting wet as she spoke, and said in a nasal voice: "I think Yu'er did the right thing! You are such a person, you really want to drive us all to death! I don't bother to talk to you Already!" After saying that, he lifted his foot and was about to leave.
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe was in a hurry, grabbed Miao Cuilan, sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Sister, don't say that, I remember you all the time in my heart, how could I forget you? I do things Is it such a person who has no sense of propriety? Of course I will protect myself. Brother Qin and the others have suffered such unexpected disasters. I can't do it! Don't say I'm sorry for the friendship with Brother Qin, I won't feel at ease in this life!"
Miao Cuilan said angrily: "How capable are you alone? Even if you want to ask about important news, you can't report it anonymously to the high officials in the capital and let the high officials in the capital take care of it? What are you capable of? You are a small juren , What is it in the eyes of the magistrate? And in a place like Yuzhang, if someone gets wind of something and you end up killing an ant! What will we do then? What about your wife and children? You You have helped Qin Chuan so much, and you are worthy of him! Besides, even if you have to take care of it, why do you have to do it now? Isn’t it the same when you come to check after you become a Jinshi and become an official!”
"Sister, haven't I come back well now?" Miao Chuhe could only smile wryly, thinking what's the difference? At that time, the day lily will be cold, so where can I find it
Miao Cuilan said angrily: "Being back doesn't mean that you did the right thing, and it doesn't mean that we won't be worried! How can you make people feel at ease like this!"
Miao Cuilan said "Oh" and couldn't help but said: "You are going to the capital now, the Emperor Tiangao is far away and we are not by your side, if you do something else, what will you do! No, no, let me see the capital. You better not go this time! Stay at home obediently! It doesn’t matter whether you are a Jinshi or an official. I don’t want to be like Aunt Qin one day... "
"Sister..." Miao Chuhe secretly sighed in his heart, Xin Dao originally expected his sister to help with the conversation, but now it's a good thing, her sister's reaction is more radical than Yu'er. Miao Chuhe couldn't do without some comfort and repeated explanations and reassurances, so Miao Cuilan sighed and fell silent.
Miao Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief, and begged: "Sister, can you persuade Yu'er for me? I'm leaving in a few days, and I really don't want to have trouble with her at this moment..."
"It's not all good things you did yourself! Now I know it's difficult!" Miao Cuilan gave him a bitter look, got up and left.
"Sister, please help me!" Seeing this, Miao Chuhe hurriedly said.
"Got it!" Miao Cuilan said angrily, "What's your name? Didn't I come to help you? Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Yu'er's sake, I don't want her to be alone at home after you leave." I don’t bother to talk to you when you’re depressed! You deserve this lesson! Don’t forget what you promised me just now, give me a safe and well-behaved journey to Beijing, no matter whether you pass the exam or not, immediately Just come back to me!"
After hearing this, Miao Chuhe agreed repeatedly. Miao Cuilan murmured curses, sighed, and went to find Tong Yu'er.
In the past few days, Tong Yu'er felt a lot of grief and grievances, and she was also suffering from resentment and resentment. As soon as Miao Cuilan said that, she couldn't help but threw herself into her arms and sobbed, crying and complaining.
Seeing this, Miao Cuilan couldn't bear it and felt sad, she almost shed tears herself, after a long time of persuasion, Tong Yu'er gradually stopped crying.
Five days later, Miao Chuhe set off for Beijing. This time, he was still accompanied by the old servant of the Tong family. Tong Yu'er talked to her mother specially, and picked a young and clever, a middle-aged and steady reliable servant, and a young and strong coachman, a total of three people accompanied Miao Chuhe to Beijing.
On this day, Miao Chuhe set off from Miaojia Village, and Lu Zhong, Miao Cuilan, Tong Yu'er, and the third uncle of Miaojia Village sent them off together.
The third uncle and the others were naturally full of pride and joy, with great expectations. Miao Cuilan, Tong Yu'er and the others were filled with sorrow and joy in their hearts, sour and astringent, and they could hardly hold back their tears to see him go.
After Miao Chuhe left, the atmosphere at home was also quiet for two days. Then it slowly got better.
When it is hot, it is cool in the mountains. Miao Cuilan and his wife's new workshop has just officially started, and the couple have to go there every day to guard it.
In this season, the crops are in the period of vigorous growth in the field, and there is almost no need to do other things except that the rice fields need to go to see the water every few days.
In the scorching summer, Lin Fang also went fishing for three days and spent two days drying the net and pretending to read. He didn't pretend to be sick, and went to play with Lu Xiaoshu and sisters with Zhou Yuan.
This day when Lu Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue came back, Tong Yuer smiled at Lu Xiaoshu when she saw her, "Mr. Wu said that he has something to look for you! I want you to go there!"
