Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 237

"Shen Huai."

"Ok?"

"..."

"what happened?"

"...Don't be afraid, I will treat you well."

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect her to say that suddenly, but a smile filled his eyes in an instant, and he replied, "Okay, I'm not afraid. Why did you say this suddenly?"

"It's nothing." Su Ya didn't want to tell him that she was expressing her feelings. If he continued to ask her how she would treat him, she would probably have to explain it now. She couldn't explain it well, so she quickly changed the subject and asked: " Just now when I came back, I met Yu Qingfeng at the door, how is he, but he is a practical person? Can he be of one mind with you?"

Shen Huai raised his hand and flicked her forehead lightly, "I don't want to answer, so I changed my way to say something else, who taught you to be so slippery?"

However, he didn't ask after all, he just said: "The officialdom is not a place to talk about one's heart, but it is more reliable from the perspective of interests. Yu Qingfeng is extraordinary, and there are many talents in Dali Temple. The person from the Beijing office was transferred, and he still came to help me—a person without a heart can’t handle this job. It can be seen that he is trusted by the emperor. However, the blame is also here: Yu Qingfeng has talent, There is also trust, but he is not well-known."

"Ah?" Listening to the words, although Su Ya didn't know much about the official circles that went deeper into the court's confidantes, but she had two years of experience in the local government. Hearing this, she felt worried and frowned, "You're recuperating this time. He has to take care of all the matters of the tribunal interrogation, if he is troublesome, wouldn't you still be troubled?"

"You don't have to worry too much," Shen Huai shook his hand, and said, "The water transportation is related to the emperor's rice warehouse and money bags. At this critical moment, he will definitely not send someone to make trouble. Yu Qingfeng As soon as he entered the city, he rushed straight over, and his posture is also good, but I just don't know whether there are factions behind him, it remains to be seen."

"Well," Su Ya sighed with emotion, "You officials always say that you learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's house. It's not a lie."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Since it's for sale, you only see fame and fortune in your eyes, so how can you choose customers? It's either sold to the emperor, or sold to factions. In short, the kind of blue sky with the people in its heart mentioned in the play is rare."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was an official who had sold for a good price, and hurriedly added, "I didn't mean you!"

Shen Huai smiled indifferently, "It's not wrong to say that I'm wrong, isn't I also hiding my strength and biding my time, seeking to protect myself?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something again, his eyes darkened, but finally he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled the hand holding Su Ya's hand forward again, and closed his eyes.

On the thin face, the brows were a little tight, and under the dense eyelashes, the dark blue eye circles and eyelash feathers mixed together, dyed with a heavy exhaustion.

"Tired?" Su Ya asked softly.

"Well, I'm a little sleepy."

"Should I go to bed after dinner?"

"..." He returned to her a few beats later, his voice was a little vague, "just sleep for a while..."

He seemed to be really sleepy, and he fell asleep in just half a sentence.

Forget it, let him sleep.Whose patient is so busy like him?When I think about it carefully, I can't help myself when I work so hard.

Su Ya carefully took her hand out of his palm, straightened the quilt, dimmed the lampstand, and finally exited the room lightly.

The house was full of joy, but this night, she woke up again from a nightmare.

It was still a familiar dream, still lost again and again, still completely clueless, the difference was that there was another Shen Huai in the dream.

What was once a loss has evolved into a double fear.

She hugged the quilt, sat in the dark for a long time, and finally lifted the quilt.

The moonlight is like a hook, with a thin arc, lightly attached to the low night.

In the distant alley, there was the sound of clappers at the second watch. Su Ya stood on the roof and looked around in a daze. Everyone was asleep, and there were only dots of lights falling on the white walls and black tiles.

It's been a long time, and there is no one around here at a high angle.

Su Ya stretched her muscles quietly and jumped into the night.The cold wind poured into the clothes from the collar and cuffs, uncomfortable but awake.Having not traveled at night for a long time, she walked through the city that she had already known by heart, and gradually let the restless emotions caused by nightmares fall back into her stomach.

Turned around, and finally landed in the small courtyard of the Su family.

I have lived in the place for more than two years, but it has only been vacant for more than a month. Because of the lack of popularity, a thin layer of dust has accumulated everywhere.

Su Ya walked through the small house, and finally stopped by the edge of the well.

On the stone pier by the well, there was a garlic mortar chiseled out of bluestone. After being exposed to the wind, sun, and rain for so long, a small pile of dust had accumulated in the socket, which slanted into a crooked shape in the socket. small slope.

Su Ya dug out the small slope, blew off the residue, wiped the socket and the garlic hammer with a handkerchief, and finally put the spotless garlic mortar back on the stone pit.

She knelt down and stared at this garlic mortar. Shen Huai loves to eat dumplings, and every time he came to eat dumplings in different ways, he always used it here to pound garlic. At that time, she and Yan still thought he was a I'm condescending, I didn't expect to become a family so soon.

A smile softened the corners of her brows and eyes, Su Ya stood up, hugged Suanjiuzi in her arms, and was about to go back.

At this time, there was some movement in the old house of the Zhou family next door.

"Ma'am, please come back?" The not-so-young female voice gently persuaded.

"Can't sleep, let's go for a while."

"It's dawn tomorrow, so it's okay to come again."

"After daybreak, that old Zhoutou nephew is like a tail, staring at people, and will let me in?" Zhao's voice was deliberately low and sharp, and the resentment could not be concealed, "You raise the lamp a little It's higher, I'd like to see: What's so good about the Zhou family's old house, it's hidden from others, and it's only reserved for her eldest grandson!"

"... Ma'am, I still don't want to understand: the eldest son only married a poor woman, wouldn't it be great? That woman is poor and white, but she is just a speaker. Even if she has some martial arts skills, what can she do? She doesn't have a wife With your help, the Eldest Young Master will always fight alone, but why do you insist on marrying him to the Qiu family?"

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "For a person like him, you and I can really influence his marriage as a master? It's just..."

She seemed to be worried, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and said instead: "He may not marry Miss Qiu's family, but he must not make me feel enmity with the Qiu family like this."

"However, you are in the capital, and the master has the relationship with the queen mother and ancestors behind him. Even if the Qiu family has some power, what can they do to you?"

Mrs. Zhao remained silent for a long time, put the arm of the confidant maid, walked through the veranda, pushed open the door of Huaiyuexuan, took the lamp from the maid's hand, lifted it up a little and looked in front of the room door, and then sighed softly:
"What do you know? If he has an enmity with the Qiu family, where will my poor Yuan'er go to find a good family's daughter-in-law as his wife? Yuan'er's life has been ruined by that person, and she will never be able to pass the imperial examination again." ..."

She gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "I have swallowed my anger for so many years, but now I will be implicated even for my whole life. I, how can I swallow this breath..."
