Xiao Chunmian was lying on the bed with a fever.
He was suffering from a fever, and he wanted to drink some water in a daze, but for some reason, there was no one to take care of him. He struggled to get up by himself, but fell off the bed.
At this time, a servant girl just opened the door, and seeing this scene, she was horrified and horrified, and quickly helped Xiao Chunmian back, poured water for him, and then rushed out again, shouting to report to the master, asking the master to give him Please doctor.
But the servant girl didn't come back for a long time.
In a daze, Xiao Chunmian only heard a crisp slap, a loud rebuke of "Master asked you to help the Second Young Master's room, you are quite courageous, you still have time to take care of other people", and a little vague reprimand. about the cry.
Xiao Chunmian was thirsty again, but this time she couldn't even struggle to get up by herself, so she fell asleep so thirsty.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Chunmian felt herself being lifted up by someone, and a cushion was stuffed behind him for him to lean on, and then a bowl was placed on her lips, and then some liquid hit her, and her chapped lips were wiped away. Get wet.
water!
Xiao Chunmian quickly opened her mouth and drank a lot of the liquid in the bowl in one go.
As a result, after taking it in, he realized that the bitter and spicy thing was not water at all, but medicine... So with a "poof", someone was sprayed all over by him.
Xiao Chunmian coughed a lot, finally slowed down, felt the rim of the bowl stick to her lips again, curled her lips, took another sip carefully, frowned, but in the end she obediently drank the bowl of medicine.
After drinking the medicine, he was put down again, covered with a quilt, sweated, and gradually he felt much better. Then he finally opened his eyes and saw the unlucky guy who was sprayed all over by him.
This is not any servant in the mansion, but—but who is it? Xiao Chunmian didn't recognize it all at once.
"You're finally awake." The other party breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and asked again, "How did you do this?"
Xiao Chunmian finally heard the sound, "Xiaoqiu?"
Yu Qiu nodded, "It's me."
Xiao Chunmian still stared at him blankly for a long time, and really saw his original shadow in the facial features. But Yu Qiu is no longer the withered, yellow and thin Yu Qiu. With enough food and drink every day, coupled with moderate exercise, in just over half a month, Yuqiu's lips are red and his teeth are white, and he is full of energy. The basics of the appearance are revealed.
"Xiaoqiu..." Xiao Chunmian couldn't help admiring, "So you are so beautiful."
Yu Qiu gave a dry cough. Although it is a compliment, why does it sound so embarrassing when the word "original" is added? What's more, the word "beautiful" is praised by Xiao Chunmian, and anyone who hears it will feel guilty.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Chunmian asked again.
Yu Qiu looked at the sky silently. When he returned to Yulian County before, the first thing he did was to visit this mansion, but perhaps because his clothes were too tattered, the guards of the Xiao family drove him out as soon as they saw him, and refused to even notify him. Even if he said that he was here to pay back the money, it was useless. Later, he lived outside for a few days, intending to wait for Xiao Chunmian to go out, but Xiao Chunmian insisted on not going out. In the end, Yu Qiu simply sneaked in, intending to secretly put the more than one hundred taels of silver under Xiao Chunmian's pillow and forget it. As a result, this dive…
He just watched Xiao Chunmian kneeling in the bitterly cold courtyard all night.
In the room Xiao Chunmian was facing, Mrs. Xiao angrily smashed some bottles and jars on the floor. As for the group of servants, because of the order from the magistrate, they only cared about persuading Madam. It was not until dawn that someone helped Xiao Chunmian, who was already unconscious, back.
Thinking about it now, Yu Qiu still finds it unbelievable. Isn't Xiao Chunmian the eldest son of the magistrate's family? Even if Madam Xiao was offended, she wouldn't be treated like this! As a result, the magistrate of Xiao's family heard that his son was having friction with his crazy wife, so he was so indiscriminate, his partiality went to the sky.
"I just passed by by accident..." Yu Qiu was vague about his sneaking in, and then couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? Why did you quarrel with your mother?"
Xiao Chunmian's eyes dimmed, "You know, mother... never likes me leaving the house."
This was beyond Yu Qiu's comprehension. From the last encounter, Yu Qiu could indeed know this, but as the magistrate, what is the reason for Xiao Chunmian not being allowed to go out
"It's okay to go out once in a while, as long as I can coax my mother in time." Xiao Chunmian said with a sigh, "But I was planning to go to Beijing for the exam next month. Somehow, my mother found out about it. And then... don’t agree with anything.”
From the short pause in this sentence, Yu Qiu could hear that Mrs. Xiao's reaction was definitely not just an understatement like "I don't agree with anything".
Well, Mrs. Xiao went crazy many years ago, normal people shouldn't argue with crazy people, but... "Don't tell me your father won't let me?"
"Father originally agreed. But when my mother made a fuss, he changed his mind. After all, for him, whether I pass the exam or not, it's better to stay at home to comfort my mother. At this point, Xiao Chunmian smiled wryly, "Then I prepared myself and wanted to go to Beijing without telling my parents, but my father found out and arrested me."
Yu Qiu knew what happened later.
Xiao Chunmian knelt down all night, but made Mrs. Xiao sick with anger, Xiao's mansion was immediately overwhelmed. Originally, there were two maids taking care of Xiao Chunmian at this time, but unfortunately, Mrs. Xiao's youngest son who was born ten years ago just caught the cold, so even Xiao Chunmian's two personal maids were ordered Going out, so that Xiao Chunmian fell into the situation where no one cares about his sickness and thirst.
It was that little maid, one of Xiao Chunmian's close maids, who still knew how to miss him, and sneaked a glance at him in the middle of her busy schedule. However, the magistrate was guarding the youngest son's bedside, and when the little maid went up to ask Xiao Chunmian for a doctor, she was slapped by the magistrate and slapped away.
These things can be summed up in one sentence - Xiao Chunmian, who is supposed to be the eldest son, has no status in this family. The crazy mother caught him making trouble every day, and the father who was in charge of the family was so partial to the horizon.
Even if one of the servants wants to treat him well, his arm cannot twist his thigh. Just like that little maid, she has a conscience, Xiao Chunmian usually treats her well, she remembers it in her heart, and even if she bribes the guard, she will secretly go out and invite someone to see Xiao Chunmian, but someone finds out and gets slapped a few times, Now being locked up in the woodshed.
"Qiaoxi, she..." Hearing this, Xiao Chunmian took a deep breath, "It's my fault that she was implicated."
Yu Qiu was speechless, "You are like this, and you still feel sorry for others?"
Xiao Chunmian smiled and shook her head, without explaining, she silently thought about how to intercede with the little maid. Following this matter, his thoughts wandered away, and then he didn't know where he thought, his face darkened again, showing grief, "In this way, I'm afraid I really have no chance to catch up with this imperial examination. Even if I wait until Three years later, I don't know if my father and mother will agree."
"You want to take the imperial examination so much?" Yu Qiu asked.
"Yes." Xiao Chunmian replied, "If I pass the exam, I can become an official."
"You want to be an official?" Yu Qiu was surprised. Although it is normal for ordinary people to want to be an official, Xiao Chunmian, who seems to be such a person who does not pursue fame and wealth, is also sad because he has no chance to become an official
"I think more people will live better." In the end, Xiao Chunmian gave a jaw-dropping answer.
"The young master of the magistrate's family, this identity is too restrictive." Xiao Chunmian said seriously, "No matter what I want to do, it depends on my father's face. Even if I bypass my father, there are too few things I can do. Just a son of a family, no matter how hard I try, I can at most make the people around me live a little better, but it’s too good. But if I enter an official career, my efforts will be more effective. A small one will benefit a county , it will benefit the whole country, isn’t it?”
He spoke so impassionedly that Yu Qiu was speechless and stared at the sky: He knew that Xiao Chunmian was a good person, but he didn't expect that he would be such a good person with such great ambitions!
It is simply a model for the world of the Holy Mother, who regards the Holy Mother as a career.
"For example, some time ago, there was a natural disaster in the Southwest." Xiao Chunmian also gave an example, "The imperial court should have allocated funds for disaster relief immediately, but because the courtiers were stupid, they had to argue endlessly no matter what, so that it took a full month to allocate the relief funds. I don’t know how many lives were wasted!”
"There is no such thing as a government situation that can be broken by one person." Yu Qiu looked at the sky, "If you really become an official, I'm afraid you will become one of those stupid courtiers who are arguing endlessly."
Hearing this, Xiao Chunmian did not refute.
Because he felt that what Yu Qiu said made sense. After serious thinking, Xiao Chunmian had to find out: Sure enough, as a courtier, the constraints are too great. It's a pity that he is not even a courtier now, and whatever he says is just fantasy.
Fifteen-year-old Xiao Chunmian, because of Yu Qiu's words, continued to daydream naively: If only he could be the emperor.
But even if he hadn't met Taiqiu, when Xiao Chunmian finally got his wish and put on court clothes, he would think so sooner or later.
In fact, if it wasn't for meeting Yu Qiu, this innocent but ambitious Virgin would sooner or later become the first emperor in the history of Xuanyan Continent to usurp the throne without bloodshed for the happiness of the people.
But in this life...
Yu Qiu put the more than one hundred taels into Xiao Chunmian's hands, and by the way, because of a mistake, he said, "Although I have paid off the money I owe you, you have helped me so much, and I will teach you something as a gift." Please repay. Although it is difficult to get started with this method of refining qi, as long as you can practice one or two layers, at least your body will be much stronger than before. "
The author has something to say: Yu Qiu didn't know, because of this one short thought, the mortal world has lost a usurper emperor since then...
