After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 255 Waiting
Zhou Lin waited from daytime to evening, and finally saw Su Xiaomu before the sun set, and he immediately went up to meet him overjoyed.

"Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late?"

Zhou Lin waited for Su Xiaomu to approach and immediately asked questions. Of course, he could clearly see the tiredness on Su Xiaomu's face, and then he frowned: "You look sleepy, you can't be doing coolies outside, right?" .”

"You just went outside to work as a coolie. I'm going to find a way for Gu Jingcheng today, but it depends on God's will whether it succeeds or not. I dare not give you any guarantees. I can only hope that Gu Jingcheng's life will be better, and we can do it." Yes, now we can only wait."

Su Xiaomu was almost dragging her exhausted body. She had been running outside for a whole day, and the temple had to climb stairs up and down, and the only mountain road where a horse-drawn carriage could pass was taken over by dignitaries.

A commoner with a mediocre background like her, of course she is not capable of walking the specially opened mountain road.

"Wait?"

Zhou Lin clenched his fists still unwillingly: "Is there really no other way?"

"What do you think?" Su Xiaomu was so tired that she didn't even bother to roll her eyes, "I've already gone to Mrs. Shoufu, she promised to help me save Gu Jingcheng, but we still have to wait for a while, so she didn't write to me. Before, we couldn’t do anything but wait.”

Su Xiaomu doesn't want to continue to argue with Zhou Lin here, she just wants to crawl back to her bed and have a good sleep.

Since she had to wait, of course she hoped that she could fall asleep and wait.

But before going to bed, Su Xiaomu endured the drowsiness and wrote a letter to Master Wan in Fucheng, and gave Xiaoer a lot of money for running errands, and asked him to deliver the letter as quickly as possible. Go to Fucheng.

It is still necessary to divide the hope into several baskets. If there is something wrong with Mrs. Shoufu, maybe Master Wan can help.

Fucheng.

Ever since Zhou Lin and Gu Jingcheng went to rush for the exam, Master Wan had nothing to do in an instant.

Due to the presence of Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin in the past six months, Wan Mansion has been much more lively than before.

The sound of their reading and asking questions every day is equivalent to the sound of nature in Master Wan's ears.

But now there is nothing left, the only thing left in Wanfu is the chirping of birds and cicadas, and the roar of his wife watching him eat.

Master Wan misses Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin a lot, but he knows that the children are working hard for their own future, so when he wakes up every day, besides missing them, Master Wan hopes that they can all get good grades in the imperial examinations.

But such thoughts disappeared instantly after receiving the letter from Su Xiaomu.

After reading the letter, Mr. Wan turned pale with shock, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the letter and went to find the magistrate.

At this time, he was in a hurry, and after seeing the county magistrate, he began to tell the magistrate the full story of Gu Jingcheng's experience in the capital.

"You also know that the princess had already taken a fancy to Jingcheng when she was in Fucheng, but she knew how to cover up before, but now that she has returned to her own place, she doesn't care about anything, she must be with Jingcheng, Otherwise, Jingcheng will be ruined and he will not be able to take the imperial examination."

Master Wan was so angry that he hated the princess more and more.

As for the county magistrate, he had finally received the transfer order and promotion document from the capital today, and before he had time to find someone to share his joy, he heard from Mr. Wan that Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin had bad luck in the capital because of a An indiscriminate disaster caused by a woman.

"Destroying people's imperial examinations is like killing one's parents. That princess just doesn't know the rules, and only cares about the things that are angry and resentful these days."

The magistrate's teeth itch with hatred: "I can be promoted, but it's all thanks to Mr. Gu."

In the heart of the county magistrate, Gu Jingcheng has a very deep position. He knows that almost everything he has obtained now is related to Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu.

If the two of them hadn't done so much for the people in the face of the catastrophe and added so much achievements to him, he wouldn't have had the chance to be promoted today.

"Don't you just happen to be transferred to the capital too?"

Master Wan sighed: "Perhaps in the capital, you have a way to help Jingcheng?"

"It's just a sixth-rank official. Even if it's transferred to the capital, it's useless. There is a saying that doesn't mean that the seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister. I am a sixth-rank official, but I am a little better than the gatekeeper."

The county magistrate is also worried, most of his roots are in Fucheng, and he really can't help Gu Jingcheng.

It's really because the princess's background is too strong, how can ordinary people offend such royal relatives and nobles?

If it wasn't Gu Jingcheng who was involved this time, even if he heard about it, he could only secretly say that it was bad luck.

"It's all for the imperial court. You don't have to be so arrogant. Let's think about it again and see if there is any other way to help him. I only hate that I came out of the capital too early. The way I left before can't be used. .”

Master Wan vaguely knew in his heart that those students who respected him in the past might not be willing to help him now.

What's more, the one Gu Jingcheng offended was the niece of the chief minister of the dynasty, the princess who was raised up with water.

"I must help. Now I can only write a letter to my teacher, asking him to help us operate in Beijing. I just hope that the teacher can speak in front of Mr. Shoufu. If it is not possible, follow the letter of Mrs. Su If you file a complaint like that, no matter how big the Shoufu Men’s house is, there will always be someone right for you.”

The magistrate touched his beard, already thinking about it.

"Yes, no matter what, Jing Cheng can't be let here. He is a promising person, and he definitely can't be swayed by his son and daughter's affection."

The two elders looked at each other, and each had a new idea in their hearts.

Su Xiaomu didn't know the new way out that Master Wan and the county magistrate had found for them in Fucheng. She was anxiously waiting for a letter from Mrs. Shoufu, but from dusk to sunset the next day, no one said a word.

Even if he came to tell her that Mrs. Shoufu was unwilling to help her.

She sat alone on the first floor of the inn. Zhou Lin continued to go out to find someone to operate as before. He couldn't find a way, and Su Xiaomu couldn't help much when he came.

But the two had quarreled several times, and Zhou Lin felt that Su Xiaomu had changed, very different from the Su Xiaomu who was at Gu's house in Fucheng.

Obviously, she was so worried about Gu Jingcheng before, and even told him to eat less and wear less clothes for a long time. How can she completely ignore Gu Jingcheng's life and death just because of a lie?
Even if it was him, Zhou Lin, who kept telling her that there was no time in her ears every day, there would not be a slight change of emotion on her dull face, as if she would just sit on the first floor in a daze.

Zhou Lin was helpless, but he was unwilling to give up the chance to save Gu Jingcheng, until he felt that Su Xiaomu, who was sitting on the first floor, was about to sprout, suddenly knocked on his door late at night.

"I have something to talk to you about."
