Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 87

It was another spring day, and the peach blossoms on the two trees in the yard were in full bloom. The beauty was lazily nestling under the trees, and the two or three rays of sunlight that leaked from the gap fell on the slippery and soft hair. Mu tied a piece of soft cloth around Fufu's waist, leading her to wriggle the little tiger-toed shoes in the yard bit by bit.

As early as last month, which was also the seventh month since she came to this world, Fufu was able to say "Dad" vaguely. Zhang Mu was still annoyed for a long time, which child didn't call mother first!

Ding Erniang said with a smile at the time: "Amu, you took the female students around the store all day long. When you left in the morning, Fufu was still awake. When you came back, Fufu was already asleep. Not only did you recognize Dad Well!"

However, after two or three days of intensive training, after Xiao Fufu jumped out of his father, he finally jumped out of his "mother".

The feeling at that moment, Zhang Mu felt that she would never forget it for the rest of her life. Her mother and her had been separated by time and space, but she also had her own daughter.

The spring light of March was warmly shining on Xiao Fufu's chubby body at this moment, Zhang Mu was already having a little difficulty in lifting, looked at his daughter who was still trying to rush to the beauty, and sighed deeply.

Mother said that Fufu is closest to father, but according to her observation, Fufu is closest to beauty, every time he hears beauty calling, or sees beauty coming, the little guy's eyes are immediately dyed with brilliance, piercing god!

Wu Ling was carving patterns for the cupboard in the corridor. Seeing his daughter-in-law's forehead dripping with sweat, he put down the knife in his hand, went over to take the cloth strip from his daughter-in-law's hand, and said with a smile, "My lady, both of us are like this." Slender, I didn't expect Xiao Fufu to be a chubby little man!"

"Oh, my mother said that I was chubby when I was a child, but Xiao Fufu lost weight after growing up!"

Ding Erniang came over from the front yard and interjected when she heard this: "Amu is right, the child loses weight as soon as he grows up, how lovely our Jiafufu looks now!"

"Mother, have you packed your luggage for the capital?"

"Okay, wait at the gate of the city tomorrow morning, and when the car from the academy arrives, just hand it to him!" Ding Erniang felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of her son going to stay in that inch-long house for a few days. , Ah Zhu has to lose some weight when he comes back!
Originally, after winning the Juren, A Zhu didn't need to go to the academy, because Huishan Academy was only a private academy, and many of the masters in it had never even been selected, but the dean of the academy had better qualifications and expected The taller students still proposed to continue tutoring, and A Zhu and Ye Tong both received the dean's kind invitation.

However, Azhu was the only one who continued to study on the mountain, and Ye Tong went to the capital ahead of time on the grounds that his family had hired a great Confucian in the capital for him, and he could not live up to the wishes of his elders.

Dean Li didn't say much, and then he devoted himself to teaching Azhu, explaining to Azhu from water conservancy, rivers, crops and agriculture, criminal laws and decrees, the way of being an official, etc. Azhu was dumbfounded when he found out in horror , the dean who lives in seclusion on this mountain in Tongtai County is one of the great Confucians sought after by many students in the world.

Thinking of Ye Tong's refusal that day, and the indifferent expression on the dean's face, Ah Zhu inexplicably felt that if Ye Tong knew that the dean was hiding so deeply, he would probably vomit blood!
In view of the fact that Azhu was robbed in Taizhou City last time, Ding's family was worried that Azhu would go to Beijing alone this time. However, Ding Da and Wu Ling couldn't leave, and Xianglan was pregnant, so Ding Da couldn't stay at this time. She is alone, and the bamboo strip shop has a lot of work today, and Wu Ling can't go there for so many days!

Ding Erniang was depressed for two days, but she was still asked by Mrs. Li, who immediately covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Auntie Ding, what are you worried about? You still need to worry about this matter, my brother must have arranged it properly! "

Ding Erniang's eyes lit up, "What does Master Li mean?"

"I heard from my sister-in-law that my elder brother entrusted A Zhu with a nursing home at home!" Madam Li knew in her heart that her elder brother took care of A Zhu in such a way that she might be selling favors to the Ding family for herself.

"Oh, that's really great, it's really a blessing to you!"

Why does Ding Erniang not understand Dean Li's thoughts, Huishan Academy has one or two outstanding students every year, if the dean gives each of them a nursing envoy, wouldn't the Li family have no one who can command them? People, after all, the Li family is just a scholarly family, isn't it?

When Zhang Mu and Wu Ling learned about this from Ding Erniang, they were also happy for A Zhu. The Ding family were just ordinary common people in the city, and it was really beyond their ability to protect A Zhu's safety. Dean Li sent someone to take care of them, so they should feel more at ease.

In the capital, the water there is probably much deeper than in Taizhou.

In the Hua Mansion, Mrs. Hua listened to Hua Yi's report, quietly twisted the hair on her fingers, and said after a long while, "Talk to shopkeeper Ai to ensure safety!"

"Yes, master, this servant will tell you now!"

Hua put down the hair on her fingers, and carefully looked at the woman in the glasses. How long has she been here, three years?No, it was three years and 290 eight days, and that person still didn't come to pick me up!
Still not coming!
Hua Yi, who had already reached the gate of the courtyard, heard the sound of various things smashing into the ground in the house, paused her footsteps, heard no movement inside, and called the girl guarding the gate: "After a quarter of an hour, go in and clean it up, and break it. Make a list for me!"

"Yes, Sister Huayi!" The little maid beside me responded meekly.

This day, Erniang Ding was waiting for Azhu at the gate of the city, and she wanted the nursing home from Dean Li. Seeing that he was broad-shouldered and strong, Erniang Ding felt much more at ease. The package was stuffed in, and after a few words of "take good care of yourself, don't sleep too cold at night", then waved goodbye.

Zhang Mu held Fufu in his arms, and he also came to see off Azhu with Wu Ling, at this time he took Fufu's chubby hand and waved at Azhu.

Zhang Mu looked at Azhu who was drifting away, and had passed the government examination, hospital examination, and rural examination all the way. If he passed the general examination, no one could deny that a carp from Ding's family in a remote town really jumped out out of Longmen.

Azhu in the carriage, holding the package stuffed by his old lady, faintly smelled the scent of pastries, couldn't help but took a couple of deep breaths, if this match was won again, would he be able to protect them in the future?
After A Zhu left, the life of Ding's family continued as usual, but Ding Erniang had to talk about A Zhu twice a day, and everyone's ears were a little tired of hearing it. Turning in the other direction, they had already heard all kinds of funny and embarrassing things about Azhu when he was a child, okay?
However, Xiao Maolin was still full of interest in his senior brother as always (or it was a bad taste, he often leaned next to Ding Erniang, raised his face and asked: "Auntie, you told me last time, Brother A Zhu How old was bedwetting?"

"Eight years old!" Erniang Ding regained her energy as soon as she mentioned A Zhu, hey, every time her son went to the small house that was only inches long, she would scratch her head and scratch her head in pain!

"Then you said last time that he was nine years old when he ate the chicken for guests, right?" Mao Lin carefully counted with his fingers.

Ding Erniang saw that the little girl was so serious, she was a little confused for a moment, how old was that kid back then?Why do you feel that Xiao Maolin's style of painting is wrong?

A Zhu stayed in there for nine days, a total of three games, each three days, after the exam, the whole person seemed to have peeled off a layer of skin, no wonder my wife was worried about him, he was so small, every time he came out of the exam room , Walking calf will spin!
The nursing home given to him by Dean Li followed the family name of the master, Li Er, saw Ding Zhu from a distance, and immediately squeezed into the crowd, and pulled Azhu out!Looking back at the dense crowd, the two of them couldn't help but feel thankful that Ah Zhu came out earlier, otherwise they would have been crushed.

The announcement was in mid-April. Azhu had agreed with his family earlier that he would go back after the announcement. Azhu was going to visit some of his old friends with a letter of introduction from Dean Li, but he was very busy. Almost.

After a few days, I vaguely heard that a concubine from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites was engaged to his fellow villager Ye Tong!
It was a good thing, but Ye Tong's father came to the capital with his little mother!
And this little girl actually said that his fiancée had been in the fence once!

When Ah Zhu heard the news, he was sharing a chicken with Li Er in the restaurant. Li Er was the son of the Li family, and Dean Li had always trusted him. Treating them like people, one of them was chewing the chicken head and the other was eating the chicken legs, and they were enjoying themselves when they suddenly heard a voice from the next table: "Young Master Ye's fiancée is from Goulan!"

Azhu was so surprised that he almost choked on the chicken in his throat!
In the Wu family, Wu Mo'er looked at Wu Zhiyuan who was kneeling at the old lady's feet, and turned the jade bracelet in her hand calmly!I didn't expect that Xiaoping's wife who came out of that lump of dirt could be so generous in her actions!
Wu Zhiyuan never thought that that little bitch Chu Rui would come to the capital at this time!

She didn't expect that Ye Tong, who she had calculated in every possible way, was actually Chu Rui's son!

Ah!How ironic!

In the past, a little country woman she looked down upon, a woman who obeyed her, now that she will cut off her good deeds at the most important hurdle in her life!

The old lady Wu looked at Wu Zhiyuan who was lowering her head and couldn't see her expression. She was no longer willing to hide the contempt in her heart. She never thought that there would be times when she would be pecked by an eagle, thinking that she was just a down-and-out side concubine who came to seek refuge. I thought I could make so many moths!
"Yuan girl, you hooked up with Ye Tong privately, and I have never pursued you. After all, your parents are not around, and it is inevitable that you will lose discipline. However, this time, my wife, I am powerless to help you make up for it. Already!"

This girl was originally a bargaining chip in her hand, but she ruined it by herself! !

"Old lady, Zhiyuan didn't ask for your understanding and help this time, Zhiyuan came to say goodbye to you, thank you for taking me in before!"

Old Madam Wu squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the girl who kowtowed to her, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes!
Wu Mo'er was also stunned, what did she mean, just don't want the Wu family, "Oh, Sister Yuan made a big announcement, leaving the Wu family, how did you survive, and then go back to Goulan?"

"Don't bother sister Moer to worry, Zhiyuan already has a place to go!" Wu Zhiyuan met Wu Moer's eyes without saying a word!

At this time, the girl outside suddenly came to report, "Old lady, the eldest son of the Yunyang Hou Mansion has come to propose to the master!"
