Chapter 946 The charming husband is at the door (26)

   "Nian Nian, you go and gather some firewood to start a fire. Later, if the chicken feathers are not clean, you have to use fire."

  Su Qiruo knows that boiling water is needed to remove chicken feathers, but she can't find anything to boil water now, so she doesn't know if using fire can burn it clean.

  At this time, Qiao Nian was a little smarter than Su Qiruo, and only heard him say: "Peel off the chicken skin together, and the chicken feathers will be gone."

  Su Qiruo's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Qiao Nian approvingly.

   "How are you so smart?"

  She never thought about that.

   After being praised by Su Qiruo, Qiao Nian, who was a little tired, suddenly regained strength and ran to collect firewood.

  In fact, he didn’t like to eat chicken skin when he was at home, and every time he ate meat, someone had to remove the chicken skin, so he thought of this all of a sudden.

  The chicken was very big, Su Qiruo cut off the chicken breast, wrapped it in leaves and put it in the basket, ready to go back and make dumplings with wild vegetables for Qiao Nian.

  The rest was wiped with the salt she brought, and then baked on the fire.

  Qiao Nian arranged the firewood, and left all the rest to Su Qiruo.

  Su Qiruo put the cleaned and salted chicken on the fire, let Qiao Nian watch the fire, and then went to bury the skin and feathers of the chicken, so as not to attract wild animals.

   When Su Qiruo came back after washing her hands, Qiao Nian's big eyes that fell on the chicken looked at her.

  The firelight illuminated the boy's face red, very cute.

   "After the new house is built, you can make embroidered handkerchiefs at home and read books. Then I will come to the mountains to hunt some rabbits for you back home."

  Because if Su Qi didn't dare to go further in with Qiao Nian, if she was alone, self-protection would not be a problem.

  Climb the tree when you encounter danger. There are hundred-year-old trees here, which are thick and safe.

   "You are a scholar, you can't always run around for food. At that time, I can also exchange some money for embroidered handkerchiefs, which is enough for us to live on."

  The son of the aristocratic family has learned embroidery since he was a child, so that he can make a well-fitting underwear for his wife in the future.

  If Mrs. Zheng knew that Qiao Nian still had that skill, she would never have let him go.

  Qiao Nian is not a fool either, he was abused and humiliated by Zheng before, but how could he treat each other with sincerity?

  It's different now, the people in front of him treat him sincerely, and he won't hide his secrets.

  He has no other skills, but if he leaves Lao Su's house, it is enough to support two mouths with his own hands.

  Even if the embroidery is not enough, he can still copy the books. He thinks that his handwriting is no worse than those of the Juren in the capital.

  Su Qiruo smiled and said: "Letting you embroider and study is just to pass the time. You don't need to worry about the family's livelihood. I have enough money in my hand to spend until we return to Beijing."

  Qiao Nian never understood why Su Qiruo was so sure that they would be able to return to the capital, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Madam... can she recover?"

  Su Qiruo nodded, her eyes fell on the pile of burning flames.

"The crown daughter is the daughter of the middle palace, and she was brought up by the holy majesty himself. Her father's family holds the military power in the Northwest, and the queen's maternal ancestor's family is the head of literati. It is no exaggeration to say that nearly half of the people in the world are in the crown daughter. In the hands. This disaster is due to the joint schemes of several princesses, which implicated our families, and it will be time to fight back after the princess recuperates."

  It will be the day they return to Beijing.

  Su Sanniang is the eldest daughter's right-hand man. If the Su family hadn't suffered, Su Qiruo would be engaged to Xiaojunqing, the eldest daughter's family, next year.

In fact, Su Qiruo's father arranged a marriage for her in the capital by outsiders. It's not bluffing, but that person is not Qiao Nian, but the eldest son of the Crown Princess, and that child is one year younger than Su Qiruo. Be regarded as a real childhood sweetheart.

  The Crown Prince likes scholars, and she has heard Her Royal Highness praise Su Qiruo's youth and talent more than once, so she made a verbal agreement with the Lin family on the marriage of the two children.

  Although neither of them said it clearly, everyone understood what it meant.

  The Xiaojunqing was also well-bred, generous and dignified, and had a pretty good relationship with the original owner.

It's just that things backfired. An accident happened in the East Palace, and the Su family was killed. It would be difficult for Su Qi to save her life, and the Lin family wanted to save the Qiao family's son. Until the day when the crown prince returns to power.

   "Then when we return to Beijing, you..."

  Qiao Nian wanted to ask, when they returned to Beijing, would she still remember him, and would she recognize his identity.

   But those words are hard to say, they are just poor people who are in trouble now, and who can say what will happen in the future!

   "I will take part in the provincial examination next year. After I pass the exam, I will bring you to Beijing before the spring of the next year. By then, the empress dowager must have returned to court, and we will never have to come back."

  The original owner was selected as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and she is indeed a talented woman with a deep chest.

  The township examination, which was supposed to be held in August this year, was delayed due to the matter of the princess, so it was postponed for a year.

   "As your identity, can the imperial court allow you to take the imperial examination?"

  Qiao Nian was a little worried. Su's mother was a sinner after all. If Su Qi was the daughter of a criminal minister, what would happen if someone deliberately made things difficult for her?

   "Since I can live and have not been deprived of the title of scholar, it means that this matter is only related to my mother and has nothing to do with other people."

   After all, the Su family has not been implicated, and she and her father are still alive.

   It is said that the Lin family entrusted the relationship behind their backs, but in Su Qiruo's view, it should be the princess who saved them.

  Su Sanniang died for the crown daughter. The crown daughter valued love and righteousness, and secretly protected them. If she wants to gain a foothold in the capital in the future, she must also attach herself to Her Highness the crown daughter.

   And her nomination certificate can only be the talent of the original owner.

  In fact, God has treated this body favorably. Although the original owner is talented, his personality is really not suitable for entering the court.

   Now that a new soul has been injected, it can neutralize these defects.

   "But in case those people deliberately make things difficult, with your current status, I'm afraid you won't be able to compete with them."

  The Holy Majesty's anger still persisted, and the Lin family didn't dare to protect her blatantly.

   At that time, if the other imperial daughters deliberately target her, it will be difficult for her to stand out.

  Su Qiruo doesn't think so: "Now that the Empress Dowager has fallen, the rest of the people should fight on their own. Who will remember me as a person."

  In the eyes of those rich and powerful, Su Sanniang is the most rootless. Once she dies, a mere Su Qiruo will have nothing to fear.

   So much for being talented, but not overturning Chao Gang.

   "That's the best."

  Qiao Nian was still a little uneasy, Su Qiruo rubbed his little head in a comforting manner, the two sat next to each other, both of them had a sad look on their faces that shouldn't be there at this age.

  Su Qiruo glanced at Qiao Nian, the worry on his face faded away, and he was secretly relieved.

  In fact, the ancients paid attention to the right family, which is probably the case!
