I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 597 Chaos
It's not impolite to take a nap at a friend's house to sober up after getting drunk, so apart from Shi Song, Jiao Lianyu and the others were also pushing and changing glasses at the wine table.

"An An, is this the meat you brought me?" In the small bamboo forest not far from the house, a group of children jumped up and down excitedly around An An, staring at her hands with shining eyes.

An An nodded, and shared a few pieces of spare ribs secretly left over from the meal with each of her friends, and put the smallest piece in her mouth.

Immediately, five or six children each gnawed on a piece of pork ribs that was less than half the length of a finger, and when they ate the meat, their eyes were closed from laughter.

In the past, their family occasionally had meat, but it was only available during the festivals. Even if they secretly tasted it for the friends, at most they would save one piece. Five or six people would eat it in turns. It's not like An'an this time. I brought seven or eight ribs out.

"Grandpa Tang burned a lot of meat, and my father and the others didn't finish it. I'll bring it to you in the evening." An An was worried at first, after all, she, her mother, and her brother ate in the kitchen. Grandpa Tang All the roasted meat was taken to the main room, and there was only a little bit of the bottom of the pot left for them to taste.

But when An An came out of the main room, she realized that there were not a few pieces of meat eaten on the large table, most of which were still on the plate, but the roasted mushrooms, dried vegetables, and leafy vegetables picked from the ground were all eaten. Otherwise, An An would be reluctant to bring so many ribs out.

The beans that gnawed the ribs first, and then the ribs that had no meat, wiped the oily mouth on the back, "I heard from my father that there are shrimps in the small pond, let's go fish some, An An, take it back for grandpa Burn it for the nobles to eat."

Immediately, five or six little friends hugged An An and walked towards the small pond. In fact, this is only a small puddle, and one side is connected to the big pond. In the past, the villagers dug a ditch beside it for the convenience of catching fish. It was used for pond water, and later it was used more, and a small pond was formed here.

Every year when the villagers catch fish or pick up lotus root in the big pond, they will throw the small fish and shrimps they catch into the small pond. This has become the favorite place for the children in the village. Said, and the water is not too deep, it's okay to fall into it.

After a while, when Douzi slipped and fell into the small pond, the rest of the friends stretched out their hands to pull Douzi up. Even An An was eager to reach out to save people. A group of children under the age of ten did not Thinking of how the small pond, which used to be only waist deep in the past, had so much water today, the beans fell into it and directly submerged the top of their heads.

"Ah!" An'an suddenly felt a pain in her calf, and her body lost her balance and she fell forward suddenly, and the few friends who had been holding hands to save others were all brought down together.

In normal times, people in the village might still be walking around the village, but today after lunch, everyone gathered in twos and threes to talk about Qi Changlin's family and the nobles who came in carriages, and no one had time to spare. Wandering around in the village, I didn't even care about the child who disappeared as soon as I put down the bowl.

When the children were found to be picked up, they were almost out of breath. In the chaos, Jiao Lianyu, who rushed over, calmed down and asked his attendants to bring the carriage over immediately and send the children who fell into the water to the hospital as quickly as possible.

"What is this called?" Seeing the four carriages galloping away, the woman couldn't help shaking her head. It was she who came out to cut two bamboos just now and saw the children floating in the water, and then exclaimed The caller caught An An and the others.

"It's okay, I'm still alive after being rescued." The older woman also sighed. Although she was a little worried, she still said good things on her lips. After all, the children were born and grew up under their watch. .

"Why didn't you see Yingniang?" The woman suddenly remembered that Jiao Lianyu and the others had also followed in the carriages just now, except for the children who fell into the water, and the parents of the children were also crowded into the two carriages behind. Here, if you don't see that the child is fine, how can parents feel at ease.

Qi Changlin's wife's maiden name is Yingniang. There was chaos just now. Those who went to the hospital followed the carriage, and the villagers who went into the water to save people also went home to change their clothes. Qiuri Tianhan was soaked through. Hurry up and put on clean clothes, and drink a big bowl of ginger tea, you will probably catch a cold.

"Isn't it because I'm so tired in the morning and I don't know if I'm still at home." Several women began to guess in a hurry.

Mrs. Qi has to take care of her mother-in-law who is paralyzed in bed by herself, and she has to take care of the food and drink of her two children.

Looking at the poorest daughters-in-law in the village, almost none of them are as busy as Mrs. Qi. In the past few years, the women in the village have watched her body collapse, and she will suffer from minor illnesses when the weather is cold. After seeing so many nobles, it's normal for Mrs. Qi to be exhausted.

"I probably don't know that An'an has fallen into the water." The older woman echoed, and took the lead to walk over to Qi's house, "Yingniang is not in good health, and you will talk about a door for Bie Yingniang in a while." scared."

Several people nodded. They looked down on the Qi family before because they were poor, but now Qi Changlin is a scholar. Although the Qi family is still poor, seeing the carriages coming to the Qi family today, who in the village He didn't dare to underestimate Qi Changlin, a scholar.

A few people just entered the courtyard of Qi's house and were about to go to the east room where Mrs. Qi lived, when suddenly there was a cry from the west room, which made the women surprised for a moment, and subconsciously walked over to the west room.

"This voice?" Several women who had already become relatives and even gave birth to several children stopped abruptly, and looked at the room with the closed door in disbelief.

Country women are vulgar, and dare to say anything nasty when they get together to chat. Although the man's voice coming out of this room is not very obvious, only those two voices, but several women can recognize that it is The sound that comes from doing that.

Not to mention the clear sky, the key is that Qi Changlin and the others got into the carriage and went to the hospital to take care of the children. How could there be such a voice in this room?Thinking of Mrs. Qi who has disappeared, it's no wonder that the women want to go wrong.

"I remember that only four carriages left just now." The woman whispered, and she tiptoed to look outside the wall. She remembered that the Qi family had a total of five carriages today, which means that there are still nobles staying in the Qi family .

Whether to enter or not to enter became a problem. Several women looked at each other, not knowing whether they were really worried about Mrs. Qi, or curiosity. After the door was pushed open, several women rushed in.

"Yingniang?" When she saw the clothes thrown on the ground, the woman at the front exclaimed, Qi's family was poor, and Mrs. Qi only had a piece of unpatched clothes, which she was reluctant to wear even when she was working in the field. It was only when Qi Changlin came back from the official school, or when the Chinese New Year was celebrated, that Mrs. Qi was willing to put on this dress, and even groomed herself, so as not to lose face as a scholar.

Therefore, the women who recognized the clothes could see that the woman lying on the outside of the bed was Mrs. Qi without looking at them, but there was another person lying on the other side of the bed.

Combined with the muffled snoring of the man just heard outside the door, even though both of them are lying on the bed without moving at the moment, in the eyes of the women, this is just a show. There are also fast ones.But absolutely no one can fall asleep so quickly.

When it comes to Mrs. Qi, this is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Xiucai. Several women regretted coming in now. In the end, the older woman gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the village."

As soon as the voice fell, she turned around and walked out of the house. Madam Qi would be soaked in a pig cage if this incident got serious, but when she thought that the adulterer might be a nobleman from Fucheng, the women would regret it the more they thought about it.

When the rest of the village rushed over, except for the village chief, several elders of the Qi family, including Uncle Qi Tang who helped cook at noon, all came over with livid faces.

I don't know which wicked person actually told this shit to Mrs. Qi who was paralyzed on the bed. Not accompanied by Mrs. Qi's sharp cries and curses, the door was pushed open again, and the first person who entered Seeing this, several women followed the crowd into the house.

In the chaos, Mrs. Qi finally woke up. Anyone with a little brain can see that she seems not sober. This must not be drugged, but seeing the scarlet marks on Mrs. Qi's neck, thinking about this Qi Changlin, who was still in the medical hall, suddenly had strange changes in everyone's expressions, and the traces were fresh, which was made by the adulterer.

"Get him out!" The grandpa with the highest seniority in the Qi family shook the crutch in his hand angrily. The Qi family finally produced a scholar who would be able to support everyone in the clan in the future, but this incident happened, which made the grandpa hate him. You can't kill the adulterer on the bed!
What's more, the matter can't be kept secret anymore. Everyone in the village knows it. The grandfather immediately decided to make the matter a big one. Let Qi Changlin be in a weak position. Betrayed by his wife and friends will only make people more sympathetic to Changlin's experience. Divorce this whore, and Changlin can still marry a woman of the right family.
