Poor husband and Pepsi love

"The last name is Liu."

Yu Shi was surprised and delighted, couldn't help laughing, and wanted to cry a little: "Hai'er, I can be considered worthy of your dead father..."

Seeing that Wu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Liu Hai said anxiously: "But Brother Wu, this child is also your flesh and blood."

Wu Zonglun said in a low voice: "Are you willing to be the young mistress of the Wu family, and wait to die in the mansion below the mountain?"

Liu Hai shook his head: "I'd rather work hard than be a prisoner."

Wu Zonglun nodded: "If the child's surname is Wu, my mother will never give up, just cut off her thoughts. Just don't refuse what she will give you later."

Sure enough, Mrs. Wu sighed, with a disappointed expression on her face, but called Liu Hai over, and gave him a jade ring from her hand. Although it was worn by her, it was simple in style, without too many decorations. She said it was for meeting her daughter-in-law The meeting gift and so on.Liu Hai remembered what Wu Zonglun said just now, and answered it with a flushed face.

Yu Shi listened to it, and suddenly felt a little guilty. She never gave Wu Zonglun a meeting gift when she regarded Wu Zonglun as her daughter-in-law before!Can't lose to this arrogant Mrs. Wu!She fumbled back to the room, took out an oiled paper package from under the bed board, and uncovered it layer by layer, and it turned out to be a jade-colored bracelet.

"Liu Hai's dead ghost father gave it to me. He said it was an ancestral treasure of his family, and it would be passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law, Zong Lun. This bracelet will be yours from now on."

Mrs. Wu knew that she was trying to create trouble for herself, but unfortunately the outcome was already decided, her son was clearly attacking!He fanned the wind with his hand, and said with a sneer, "Zong Lun, just accept it. In the future, you must work harder to add a few more grandchildren to the Liu family to repay your mother-in-law."

She bit "a lot of hard work" and "mother-in-law" very clearly. Yu Shi gritted her teeth and couldn't bear it anymore: "That's right, Zong Lun is very filial. A son-in-law who cuts in the door is better than a son who doesn't come home!"

These words hit Mrs. Wu sorely, her complexion changed, the child poked into Liu Hai's arms, got up and left without even looking back.

Wu Zonglun chased to the door, stared at her back without looking back, got into the sedan chair, and disappeared at the entrance of the village again. A trace of guilt suddenly rose in his heart:

Is it too much?

Liu Hai came forward with the child in his arms and said, "Brother Wu? Mrs. Wu..."

Wu Zonglun turned his head, and was very truthful: "It's not Mrs. Wu, you just accepted the heirloom jade from Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, or my mother has recognized you. You should be called mother."

Liu Hai knew that this was a good statement, but felt that something was wrong with Wu Zonglun.

Even when Wu Zonglun was an official back then, he was kind and amiable to him, making him feel that there was not a big gap between the two, but today Wu Zonglun who suddenly put on a straight face and spoke seems to be far away from him suddenly.

Mrs. Wu's "family status is too low to be worthy of my family's clan" just now may have some truth, and now he doesn't quite understand what Brother Ang is thinking.

He looked at Nianen in his arms with wide eyes, opening and closing his small mouth, probably either thirsty or hungry, he didn't care to think about it, and hurried into the house to cook and boil water.

After tossing all afternoon, Yu was in a bad mood, complained to Liu Hai a few words, and went to bed early.

heart attack

[-].

In the evening, the snow began to fall again.Liu Hai coaxed the child, made the bed, and saw that Wu Zonglun was still sitting on the bench at the door, looking at Daxue in a daze.

Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, Liu Hai was afraid that he would be cold, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother Ang, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house."

After calling a few times, Wu Zonglun answered.

There is nothing to do at night, and tomorrow is another day of running around. In the past, the two of them would go to bed early and have some intimacy before going to bed.When he entered the room, he took the pen and paper left over from the previous copying, and was busy writing and drawing.

Liu Hai called him a few times, but he told him to sleep first.Liu Hai had no choice but to go to bed first. He was woken up by the crying of the child in the middle of the night, and coaxed the two children. Seeing that Wu Zonglun had already fallen asleep on the table, the paper was flying and dancing, and Liu Hai couldn't understand what was written.

Woke up Wu Zonglun and asked him to sleep on the bed. Seeing him lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Wu, do you have something on your mind?"

Wu Zonglun turned his face to the side, saw his worried face, and smiled: "There are two more mouths at home, and it's snowing again. I'm thinking about what to do in the past two days to supplement the family income."

Liu Hai rested his head on his chest: "The colder the weather, the better the sales of firewood. Can't we two big men support two children?"

Wu Zonglun stroked his black hair and sighed: "Haier, this prison disaster has made me see one thing clearly: the lives of ordinary people are worthless in the eyes of officials. If there is peace and prosperity, you and I will rely on chopping firewood. You can live a peaceful life by fishing to make a living. However, the world is not good now, you and I have no power and no power. Although we work hard all day just for food and clothing, we may not even be able to save our lives overnight... So You have to plan ahead.”

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Liu Hai didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded.

"Brother Wu, do you... regret it? If you are still an official, you are a powerful person. No one dares to arrest you easily, let alone force you... to commit suicide."

The more Liu Hai talked, the more his heart sank. In the dead of night, Mrs. Wu's words came to my ears again. Even if I don't care about my family background, I don't know anything except chopping firewood and cooking, so I am not worthy of Brother Ang.In the prison, I can only drag Brother Ang, as if I have no ability to protect or help Brother Ang.

Wu Zonglun stared at him, saw that his eyelashes were gradually filled with tears, and sighed: "Where did you think?"

Liu Hai's voice was a little uncontrollable: "But...but... Mrs. Wu and my mother are right. I don't know anything, I can't read, and I really... don't deserve you."

Wu Zonglun got up, half sat up and hugged him, coaxing him half truthfully: "But I just like Haier, what should I do? I won't change it if you give me the number one scholar!"

Seeing Liu Hai smiled, he said again: "Literacy is not difficult to be a human being. What is rare is that you are kind-hearted, responsible, aware of the general situation, and know how to advance and retreat. Haier is such a person. I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you."

Liu Hai sneered: "Brother Ang is lying again, how do you know if he knows the basics when you meet someone for the first time? It's just that when you see the face, you feel... that's all."

"What do you think?" Wu Zonglun pretended to be stupid.

Liu Hai glared at him: "It's time to sleep! I have to do things tomorrow!"

Wu Zonglun was hooked by his shy and timid look, and whispered in his ear: "If you don't tell me, let me tell you. The first time I saw you, I thought: such a red lips and white teeth Young man, sooner or later he will meet a pervert, what a pity..."

The two spent most of the night in love with each other.I was so tired that I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

It was dawn, and Wu Zonglun got up earlier than Liu Hai. He made breakfast and heated it up on the stove.Hastily went to the county seat.

He knew that his mentor, Wu Chao, was going back to Beijing early this morning. Wu Chao was an official in the capital, and he would be criticized if he left Beijing for no reason. This time he made the trip to investigate Yuan Hong's achievements.

Wu Zonglun trotted all the way to the gate of the county government office. After waiting for a long time, Wu Chao's sedan chair was carried out.He stood respectfully with his hands down, and when Wu Chao went out, he saw a layer of snowflakes on Wu Zonglun's shoulders, and the shoes on his feet were soaked in snow.

Wu Chao went down the steps and sighed, "Why don't people go in and report?"

Wu Zonglun said with a smile: "Men left early in the morning, before leaving, I must have some private conversations with Mr. Yuan between father and son, how dare my apprentice go in and disturb him."

Wu Chao's heart sank, he looked at Yuan Hong who was also shocked behind him, nodded and said: "Zong Lun, your advantage is that you are smart."

He raised his eyebrows, and said mockingly: "Since you have already planned to retire, where did you find out about it?"

Yuan Hong is Wu Chao's biological son.This is a secret that Wu Zonglun can't find out anyway.Could it be that someone in the capital secretly monitored and informed?Who will it be? !King Jin... or King Yan? !

Is Wu Zonglun really going to retire, or is all this just a trick set up by someone with a heart?

After thinking deeply, Wu Chao only felt a chill on his back.There is no half point on the face.

"Don't dare to hide from my mentor. Three months ago, Zong Lun asked someone to deliver a letter for help in prison. In addition to his mentor, there was also an old friend of Dongchang."

Wu Chao felt his throat tighten: "Dongchang! Which old friend?"

"Chen Kun, Dugong Chen."

Seeing that Wu Chao was already on the verge of anger, he hurriedly said: "Men, calm down! Zong Lun knows that my mentor is the leader of Qingliu today. Dongchang has always regarded Qingliu as a thorn in his side, but my old friend was only promoted by the emperor after being appreciated by the former factory supervisor." Take office. Zong Lun has known him for many years before, and knows that he is not a cruel person."

Wu Chao snorted, obviously disapproving.

But Wu Zonglun knew that he had already believed most of it, so he quickly knelt down and said, "It was Dugong Chen who wrote back to tell me that Mr. Yuan hated me so much, it must be because of my siblings, otherwise how could he hate me so much that he wanted to kill me."

Wu Chao gave him a cold look: "You came here early in the morning and said this to me, what exactly is your intention?"

Wu Zonglun knelt down and handed over a letter, tremblingly said: "How dare Zonglun lie to his teacher at all, but the governor replied here, saying that he is currently in a high position and wants to intercede with the emperor. , but also to be promoted. The apprentice wants to refuse, but knows the benefits of the East Factory. I really don’t know what to do, so I ask my teacher for help.”

Wu Chao couldn't help but read the letter, which promised that as long as Wu Zonglun returned to Beijing to help him, he would be able to make great achievements and so on.Sure enough, the seal of the East Factory Superintendent is printed on the bottom.

Wu Zonglun knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Teacher, save me."

Wu Chao looked at the big seal, remained silent for a long time, and his face softened a lot: "You... your mind has actually moved to your master. If you want to retreat, Putian Tiangao Emperor Yuan is indeed a good place.
