Li Baolu picked up a piece of chicken breast and stuffed it into her mouth, took two mouthfuls of rice, comforted her hungry stomach after a day, and then exhaled comfortably.

The cook was very distressed when she saw it, and while picking up the meat with her chopsticks, she said, "Don't worry, madam, there is still a pot of soup in the kitchen, it's all yours."

Shun Xin nodded repeatedly, "We ate all of it, no one will grab it from you."

Li Baolu stuffed her stomach and felt much better before she slowed down and waved to the two of them, "I don't need you to wait on me, I can eat by myself, you guys go down and rest too."

Neither Shun Xin nor the cook moved.

Li Baolu looked up at them strangely, seeing that their eyes were averted and hesitant to speak, she asked, "What happened?"

"Madam, let's eat first, and we'll talk about something when we're full."

"Alright." Li Baolu lowered her head and ate seriously.

The cook who was about to continue talking choked for a moment, madam, shouldn't you insist on listening now? How can you not follow common sense?

These distraught people became cooks and Shun Xin.

Li Baolu finished two bowls of rice, and finally drank another bowl of soup. She felt that her stomach was 80% full. After thinking about it, she didn't eat any more. Let's have some snacks for a while.

The cook looked very sad at Li Baolu, the middle-aged son eats the poor old man, the wife is obviously a girl, but she can eat better than her own son and Mr. Gu.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu is not poor, otherwise how would he raise this daughter-in-law.

Li Baolu put down her chopsticks and looked at the two of them, and asked, "Why don't we talk about it after I finish eating?"

Shunxin couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted: "Ma'am, people came from the government office in the afternoon, saying that the case has been investigated, those people are looking for revenge, and have nothing to do with Qiu Wei, the government office beat them separately according to the law. Fifty boards, fined them some money and let them go."

The cook brought up a purse, "Here is the money."

Li Baolu took it over and opened it, and said in surprise, "It's quite a lot, it's fifty taels."

Shun Xin pouted angrily, "Ma'am, this matter can't be left alone, what seeking revenge for sympathy is nothing more than an excuse, the magistrate colluded with those people."

Li Baolu put away the purse indifferently, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's leave this matter alone, he said it was seeking revenge, we don't admit it, but we won't file a complaint."

"Why?"

Li Baolu blinked at him, "Of course it's because I already know who my enemy is, and Ou Dunyi has become the enemy of many people. These days we live behind closed doors, don't go out easily, let alone cause trouble, you understand? "

Although Shun Xin and the cook were unhappy, they could only obey.

Li Baolu went back to the backyard to meditate and practice, and when her mind became restless, she took out a piece of wood and polished it.

Because they suddenly found out that someone was trying to harm them, their paintings had not been framed and sent out for sale. Now that Gu Jingyun entered the examination room, Li Baolu was completely free, so she wanted to take advantage of this time to frame the paintings.

When I was in Qiongzhou, it was too difficult and time-consuming to go in and out, so after the family members painted the paintings, they either rolled them up and put them aside or mounted them by themselves.

Fortunately, my uncle used to have a wide range of hobbies, and Jinxiu Academy has rich teaching content. No matter whether it is uncle, aunt or mother-in-law, they can frame. Although there are exquisite and rough, there is no stupid person in the Qin family from Qin Xinfang to Li Baolu , Know the theory, just try a few more times.

She thinks it is a very romantic thing to hang her own paintings in her room, so for a while she painted stars and moons, the sea and mountains, green water and green mountains, handsome men and beautiful women have been included in her paintings, these paintings Naturally, they are all framed and hung in the house.

Well, this room includes her room, Gu Jingyun's room and her master Bai Yitang's room.

Until now, except for the few paintings that are recognized as good, the others have been put into the warehouse to shed dust.

Well, only the master's room has not changed, it is still full of immature paintings of her when she was young.

Of these two paintings, one is so good that Li Baolu intends to pass it on to his children and grandchildren and make it a family heirloom after thousands of years.

The other one was also well painted, and it was used to make money for them to eat, drink and have fun all the way to the capital, so Li Baolu attached great importance to the mounting, from the selection of materials to the hands-on work.

In order to find a suitable piece of good wood, Gu Jingyun even risked going out with her to choose wood. Last time he was almost knocked into the air by that burly man because he turned a corner with her to go to the market to choose wood.

Li Baolu handles the wood carefully, making sure that its texture is natural and fresh. Even if it can only be used as a shaft, let it be the most beautiful shaft.

Li Baolu devoted herself to the two paintings, but there was a commotion outside.

The matter of Li Baolu pressing a group of people to go to the Yamen to file a complaint is not a big deal, but it is not a small thing.

Guangzhou Mansion is small, but it is also very big. There are so many things happening every day, who would pay attention to so many things?

But there were a lot of people watching at that time, and it was related to the ongoing autumn festival, and the situation she told at the time was too miserable. For five days, you can eat crotons at home, you can get smashed by windows when you go downstairs, and you can still eat them when you walk on the street. Being hit by someone, even entering the inn to drink a cup of tea will be scalded with boiling water, and it has been like this for several days in a row, everyone can't help but feel sympathy.

So in the evening, through the information dissemination during the afternoon tea time, not to mention that the whole city of Guangzhou knew about this matter, at least the information gathering places such as several major teahouses and restaurants knew about it.

Candidates who were unable to take the exam due to accidents were inevitably depressed. In addition to lying in bed and unable to get up, the frustrated people climbed to the restaurant to drink even if they crawled, so they heard about this.

Some people think that Gu Jingyun's experience is too familiar. Isn't it because he had diarrhea/was bumped/hit by something/burned by boiling water that he couldn't take the exam?

Others suddenly realized that they usually get up to read before 5 o'clock (five o'clock), but today they couldn't wake up, so that when they rushed to the ceremony room, the door was closed. Dou, can he also be given sleeping pills so that he can't wake up?

Another candidate failed to reference because he was drenched by a basin of water that fell from the sky when he rushed to the ceremony room. , when he finally broke open the door and bought a spare one to go to the ceremony room, he accidentally stepped on a piece of watermelon peel, slipped on the ground and hurt his leg, and when he limped to the door of the ceremony room, the door was also closed .

Losing Qiu Wei, which happens every three years, is even more painful than losing the college entrance examination in the previous life.

Because if you miss a college entrance examination, you only need to wait another year, but if you miss an autumn session, you have to wait another three years.

Such a painful thing may be framed by other people's conspiracy. For a while, regardless of whether they were harmed by others, the candidates who failed to take the exam were all angry, stopped drinking, and passed their own exams one after another. The channel gathered together, planning to go to the government office to give an explanation tomorrow, they need to know who is so vicious!

At any rate, there was one person who was more sensible. Wen Sheng suppressed the anger and doubts in his heart and said: "We should ask the lady who turned the prisoner to the government office today to ask about the specific situation. If someone really wants to harm us, we will never give up. What a surprise, but our luck is not good enough to misunderstand others."

Many people felt that Wen Sheng was right, and expressed their obedience.

Soon a scholar's book boy found out Li Baolu's address, so Wen Sheng waved his hand and said, "Everyone is feeling unwell, why don't you come here today, and we will meet at Mrs. Gu's house tomorrow morning."

Everyone agreed and got up to say goodbye.

Wen Sheng watched them leave, his face gradually darkened.

Shutong Ping An brought up a cup of almond tea, "Master, let's have a cup of tea to warm your stomach first."

Wen Sheng gently rubbed the wall of the cup with his thumb, and asked, "Ping An, how do you deal with the dregs after you boil the medicine?"

"In the slop bucket at the inn."

"Where's today's medicine dregs?"

"It's still in the medicine jar. One set of medicine can be boiled twice, young master, you didn't drink the medicine this afternoon, so I want to boil it again..."

During this period of time, they spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine, and the young master may not be able to recover when, so it is better to save the money.

Wen Sheng also knew that they might not have much money on them.

Before coming here, he had already brought most of the money that the family could use. Who would have expected that he would have diarrhea when the exam was approaching?

"Go and pack the medicine dregs, and the doctor's prescription, and bring me all the medicine you grabbed from the pharmacy..."

If his diarrhea is really artificial this time.

Wen Sheng couldn't help clenching his fists.

Li Baolu punched in a good mood, hummed a song for a long time to finish the unfinished part last night, and then happily ran to have breakfast.

The cook muttered: "Ma'am, you can't miss breakfast when Mr. Gu is not around. Today's breakfast is nearly an hour later than usual, and it's almost time for lunch..."

"Isn't there something wrong? Don't worry, I will be able to eat on time tomorrow."

Li Baolu finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Shun Xin: "Our house has guests, let's go, let's go take a look."

Shun Xin was confused, "I didn't hear the knock on the door."

Li Baolu had already walked towards the gate, Shun Xin could only keep up.

Wen Sheng waited for more than a dozen trees to squeeze into the alley and looked at each other for a while. Only the female relatives were at home, and the husbands were all taking exams. Is it really okay for them to come at this time?

But thinking of the inexplicable misfortune and doubts in their hearts, everyone gritted their teeth and stepped forward to knock on the door, which opened from the inside.

The person who was about to knock on the door paused, and looked at Li Baolu who opened the door in embarrassment.

Li Baolu opened the door and saw a dozen or so people in Confucian shirts standing outside, she understood their purpose after a moment of thought, "Are the young masters here to ask about the government office yesterday?"

Everyone didn't expect Li Baolu to make a good guess, and they all nodded their heads. Wen Sheng stepped forward and bowed and said, "Miss, please let me know, we want to see your lady."

Li Baolu coughed lightly, looked at him seriously with round eyes and said, "I am Mrs. Gu from yesterday."

Wen Sheng looked at the girl dressed in a girl's attire, and the childish girl was stunned.

This, isn't this just a few years older than his daughter, and he is already married?

Li Baolu opened the door completely, and said sideways: "You all come in. Take a seat as you like."

Shun Xin was in a hurry, how could there be so many chairs at home?

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from anxiety, and she couldn't let the guests stand and talk, Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "I remember your son bought several blankets, and you took them out and spread them on the lawn in the backyard. , we just sit on the ground."

Li Baolu is a woman, there is a difference between men and women, and she has a blanket all to herself.

After owning high tables and high chairs, few people use this kind of seating anymore, but Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin like it, and they will take them out for picnics every year when the spring is warm and the autumn is clear, or in the There are food and wine debates at home, which is very comfortable and comfortable.
