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

Su Xiaomu took out a letter from her bosom and patted it on Zhou Lin's body. Her pale face was full of exhaustion, but she had no choice but to cheer up and discuss with Zhou Lin.

"The county magistrate and his wife wrote to me in Fucheng, saying that he has already written a letter to his teacher, so that we can follow his teacher's path, and also said that he will be promoted to Beijing in half a month. At that time, the few of us can discuss this matter in detail.”

After she finished speaking, her tired eyes could hardly be opened, and she couldn't help but yawned and covered it with her hands, then said calmly, "If you're okay, I'll go back to sleep, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. "

"and many more."

Zhou Lin called Su Xiaomu to stop awkwardly. He rubbed his palms uncomfortably, explaining what he had misunderstood her earlier: "I thought you were sitting on the first floor these days, just killing time. The worry is that I shouldn't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"I don't care what you're thinking." Su Xiaomu shrugged and stopped what he was going to say next, and answered him in a neutral tone.

"You are Gu Jingcheng's good brother. The relationship between the two of them is so good that they are willing to give up their imperial examinations to save his life. It is really touching. Although my relationship with him is not as deep as yours, after all, it is a husband and wife. Tell him to die, as for these two days..."

Su Xiaomu tilted his head slowly, and then smiled mockingly: "I went the wrong way myself, it's normal for you to be upset."

After all, Su Xiaomu didn't wait for Zhou Lin to reply, turned around, yawned several times, and went back to the room sleepily.

"No wonder Jingcheng likes you. Apart from you, he can't see other women. A calm and wise girl like you is indeed a rare existence in the world."

Zhou Lin sighed silently, closed the door and went back to bed.

He was so anxious about Gu Jingcheng's affairs that he couldn't sleep for the past few nights, but now he can see some new hope in his affairs, and finally he can sleep well.

Su Xiaomu slept through the night with no worries. She tidied herself up the next morning, and then she was going to find his teacher with the letter of recommendation from the magistrate.

Speaking of the letter of recommendation, Su Xiaomu really had to feel that the ancients were really keen on letters.

In the two letters she got yesterday, there was hardly a single sentence in the vernacular, and she wrote two letters in a completely civilized manner.

If she hadn't been doing business in Fucheng for a long time and had read all the traditional characters she didn't know, it would be really hard to know what the letter was talking about.

Naturally, she still finds some words and sentences awkward and difficult to understand. This time, there is always an element of guessing.

Shangguanrui, the teacher of the county magistrate, was the former prince's young master. Although he has almost retired due to his age, he is still an important figure in the court.

And the Shangguan family he belongs to is also at the forefront among the aristocratic families in the capital, which makes many officials and eunuchs fearful.

The day before Su Xiaomu went out, she kept thinking about how she should talk to Shangguan Shaofu later. It is no exaggeration, this Shangguan is the tallest person she has known since she has been in ancient times for so long. up.

Talking to an elder like him not only needs to think carefully, but also needs to please him. At least when you meet him for the first time, you can't leave a bad impression on him.

Su Xiaomu felt uneasy, she kept cheering herself up, the moment she stepped out of the room, she tried her best to restrain her pounding heart, but just as she was about to go downstairs, she saw the woman next to Master Shoufu .

Become!

This was the first thought in Su Xiaomu's mind when he saw that woman.

Since Mrs. Shoufu has a letter, Su Xiaomu will not visit the county magistrate's master for the time being.

She picked up Shoufu, but she didn't know if there was any discord between Shoufu and Prince Shaofu, so it's better to find one first.

After all, it was the residence of the chief minister of the current dynasty. Although the chief minister had always had a good reputation for frugality outside, his residence was still incomparable to the luxury of ordinary officials.

Su Xiaomu had also seen many northern gardens on TV before, among which there were many prince's mansions and private houses, and the mansions of the chief assistant were not much inferior to those of the royal family.

In the courtyard where Su Xiaomu followed her mother-in-law, there were evergreen trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, casting a large area of ​​shadow on the ground, and walking further inside was a gazebo. The tables, chairs and benches inside were all precious golden incense wood. A stove of sandalwood was also lit on the bed, and the smoke was faint, which made Su Xiaomu's impetuous heart instantly calm down.

The woman didn't take Su Xiaomu directly to Mrs. Shoufu, but went to the lady's kitchen first.

Su Xiaomu also understands this meaning, she made some cakes for Mrs Shoufu according to the last recipe, although they look exactly the same, but the taste is slightly different.

After all, she hasn't seen her for a few days, if she gets tired of other people's pastries, wouldn't she lose this advantage.

The mother-in-law stared at Su Xiaomu the whole time, and saw that she followed her obediently and was cooking and eating in the kitchen without any other extra thoughts, so she looked up to Su Xiaomu and stopped staring at her. It was as cold as before.

"Madam is waiting for you in front, so please bring me this pastry first. Madam just ate, but she doesn't have any extra stomach to eat."

The mother-in-law took the steaming pastry from Su Xiaomu's hand and pointed the direction for her.

There is another gazebo, but this pavilion does not burn incense, but puts some seasonal melons and fruits in the four corners. At this time, there is a fragrance of melons and fruits lingering around.

Su Xiaomu thought in his heart, as expected of a wealthy family, his body is not good and he can't smell spices, so he took advantage of other things.

I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mrs. Shoufu's complexion is much smoother than before. Although she is only wearing plain clothes today, and she doesn't wear extra gold hairpin jewelry on her head, she uses a wooden hairpin to tie her hair up. It is still hard to hide the beauty of the sky.

The sick beauty's sickness has been reduced a bit, but she has become more alive.

"It's Mrs. Su." Mrs. Shoufu beckoned Su Xiaomu over, she held Su Xiaomu's hand with a smile on her face, without any airs of superiority.

"Last time you told me all the things I told the adults. He meant that although Yue Mei broke the rules, she was his niece after all, so it's not good to blame her for making things worse. Look at you guys. Is it possible to lightly expose the matter here?"

Mrs. Shoufu saw that Su Xiaomu's face was not very good after she finished speaking, and added: "But don't worry, we will release your husband, including his imperial examinations, and he will not be affected in the slightest. Shi, we adults can also help him."

Mrs. Shoufu acted as if she was doing things for the good of Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, and she followed the temptation: "Actually, Yue Mei is not a bad person, but she is more pampered than ordinary women, and it is the first time she likes a man like this when she grows up. I really want to treat your husband seriously, and I won't use such indecent means."

"Then madame says it's our fault?"
