I run a newspaper in ancient times

It is obvious to all that Liu Qiwen is appreciated by Emperor Yan. There are gossip rumors that the princess Muyang, the daughter of Princess Lin'an, will be married to him. Although there is no exact intention, it still makes colleagues and classmates envious and jealous.

It can be seen that this number one scholar has a bright future.

Although Liu Qiwen didn't show it on the surface, he was more humble, but he kept smiling in private, and he was the one who was talking proudly.

However, he has been troubled in recent days.

Because someone from my hometown came, and she was still a girl.

The number one scholar in the current department, a mansion bestowed by the emperor, and several servants, he has transformed himself into a high-ranking person.

The lintel has also been raised up, which is not easily seen by ordinary people.

It was a little late to leave the palace today, when he was washing and changing, he suddenly remembered, and the housekeeper asked, "Did she come again today?"

The housekeeper said: "Here, I came early in the morning, but according to your order, ask the concierge to send her away quickly. It didn't take too long, and no one should pay attention."

Hearing this, Liu Qiwen showed guilt and sighed softly: "I am sorry for her."

The housekeeper comforted: "My lord, there is nothing you can do. You are about to marry the county lord. Isn't this girl causing trouble now? Your current status is not what it used to be. Such an ignorant woman is really not worthy of you." you."

Liu Qiwen nodded almost invisibly, but said in his mouth: "She owes me a favor, no matter what, I owe her. It's just that I can't help myself. The emperor has already made it clear that I really don't know how to refuse. Wouldn't I have to deceive the emperor? I never thought of abandoning her. After I marry the county lord, I will naturally take her into the mansion. The county lord is a noble girl who knows the general situation, so I will definitely not embarrass her. In the future, I will be promoted step by step, so that she will be well-clothed and well-fed , and I can also repay her for taking care of the second elder for me, so that I can have the best of both worlds."

He said this, as if he really told himself that all this was for her own good, and his uneasy heart also calmed down.

The butler followed his words and said: "Yes, my lord has a lot of knowledge. If we meet at this moment, if we offend the county magistrate and lose this marriage, the good life in the future will be gone. If she is really like what your lord said She is a good girl, she must be able to understand."

"You're right, she's a good girl."

Since she is a good girl, she naturally has to think about him, and if she is wronged a little, he will make it up in the future.Thinking of this, Liu Qiwen suddenly became more at ease.

He thought for a while and asked, "By the way, where is she now? Does she have any plans to leave the capital? She shouldn't have much money on her hands. These few days should be exhausted, right?"

The housekeeper said: "I used to live in the Huifeng Inn, but I checked out today, probably because I can't afford it anymore. When I came here this morning, I was carrying a small dusty bag. Looking at the appearance, my lord, I'm afraid I'm going to leave. It's Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qiwen's eyes showed joy, and even his heart relaxed.

"Just leave, just leave..."

Just imagine how a girl can live in this unfamiliar place without much money on her hands?

Liu Qiwen just wanted to procrastinate, and he didn't worry about whether such a girl's family would encounter any difficulties on the way from her hometown to the capital.Now that I have exhausted all my money, how can I go back?

"Then have you left the city today?" He asked expectantly.

"This... I asked someone to go to the gate of the city to check, but I didn't see her leaving the city."

Just as he was talking, a servant hurried in and said to Liu Qiwen, "My lord, that girl is here again, what should I do?"

"Now?" the butler asked in surprise.

"Yes, I said I saw your lord's sedan chair, please see your lord before you leave," said the servant.

The housekeeper then looked at Liu Qiwen, who was holding the tea, with a stern and indifferent expression, his eyes lowered, and he remained silent.

He immediately knew what his master meant, so he reprimanded: "Are you a pig's head? How do you do things? Do you still have to ask about this kind of thing? What time is it now, and what is your identity? Strange woman, what if you ruin your reputation? Hurry up and send it out!"

When the butler said this, Liu Qiwen didn't move, his eyes were fixed on the teacup, as if he was lost in the sky and didn't hear it.

After the servant was scolded, he immediately left in despair.

After he left, Liu Qiwen sighed deeply.

"My lord, I'll go and have a look too." The butler said.

Liu Qiwen nodded, and stopped him again: "Tomorrow, if she leaves, you can secretly send her 50 taels of silver for me outside the city gate, so that she can go back to her hometown. Tell her, wait another year, and I will definitely go." Find her."

"Yes, my lord."

After there was no one in the room, he couldn't help covering his face with his hands anymore, the guilt and embarrassment in his heart seemed to overwhelm him.

He stared at the direction of the gate faintly, and said to himself as if praying: "A Rui, let's go, let's go..."

Su Yue Cloth has a batch of new materials today, and invited many wives and ladies to come and have a look.

This cloth shop, which showed its face in front of the Queen Mother and has been through the palace, is now flourishing under Su Yue's care, and the guests are in an endless stream, which makes the peers envious.

The earlier haze has passed, and now Su Yue is completely reborn, her life is prosperous and her face is full of smiles.

But no matter how much money she earns, Su Yue will still donate a sum of money to Le Shan Tang every month.

And a few days ago, she met a little girl in Shantang. Although she was only five or six years old, she was very strong. She secretly followed other boys to learn how to read to the students who had free time to teach here. After class, she would hold a stick by herself. Practice writing on the ground.

Speaking of which, there are some scholars teaching here because Gu Ru is an adult. The gossip tabloids have previously reported that Gu Ru is an orphan, not to mention the orphans who took the money to take care of the charitable hall. Those who want to win his favor also come with him.

After Su Yue came here a few times, she remembered this little girl. Now that her husband has passed away and she has no children, she is a bit empty after doing business. Seeing this little girl and observing her heart for a long time, her heart grows stronger. The more I liked it, the more I thought of adopting it.

Le Shantang wished that good people would take away these orphans, so he naturally agreed. Given Su Yue's family background, the little girl's life would definitely not be bad.

Su Yue named the little girl Su Xing, took her with her as a foster daughter and brought her up, and would inherit her mantle in the future.

After a busy day today, I finally sent off several important guests. When I could rest for a while, a young daughter-in-law walked into the shop.

"Sister-in-law."

This call made Su Yue stunned.

Seeing her embarrassing expression, Gao Ruomei had to bite the bullet and say, "Come here uninvited, I hope sister-in-law doesn't care about it."

It's not been a long time, but she almost forgot all the people and things in the Zhang family, and she suddenly realized for a moment, but she quickly remembered, and said with a smile: "It's you, why are you free today, please sit down, what do you drink?" Tea?"

Seeing that Su Yue had a kind attitude and didn't drive her out, Gao Ruomei let go of her uneasy heart, and she declined, "Thank you, it's up to you, I can drink whatever sister-in-law wants."

"Okay." She looked at Gao Ruomei's complexion was not very good, she looked haggard as if she hadn't slept well for several days, but it was not surprising when she thought of the mess of the Zhang family.

"Mother, drink tea." Su Xing just came over with tea, and when he saw Gao Ruomei, he blinked his eyes, a little confused.

"This is Mrs. Zhang, go and bring me another cup." Su Yue obviously didn't intend to let Su Xing recognize Zhang's family.

Su Xing went obediently.

Gao Ruomei couldn't help being a little surprised.

Su Yue handed the cup of tea to Gao Ruomei, and explained: "It's my adopted daughter."

Gao Ruomei nodded: "That's how it is. If you're alone, it's fun to have a child laughing around." She paused as she spoke, and then said, "Even adopted ones are much better than bad ones. "

"Well." Su Yue didn't want to talk about this matter, but asked, "You came today..."

"I'm here to pay back the money." Gao Ruomei stood up, and bowed to Su Yue again, "The other thing is to apologize to my sister-in-law."

Su Yue was confused: "Huh?"

Gao Ruomei smiled, with tired eyes widening, and said: "My mother came from Linzhou a month ago, and insisted on me getting divorced. This is the last time I will call you sister-in-law."

Su Yue suddenly said: "It turns out that the Zhang family is a fire pit, and Zhang Sanlang is not a good man. You should jump out of the sea of ​​suffering sooner."

Her smile suddenly became sincere. She originally thought that Gao Ruomei was doing it for the Zhang family's affairs, but she was not interested, but now she is really happy for Gao Ruomei.

"Yes, my mother scolded me. I blamed me for not telling her anything. I held back when I was wronged. I also blamed me for persecuting you with the Zhang family." Gao Ruomei said, taking a small box from the maid behind her, Handed it over, "Brother's funeral was paid by my sister-in-law. I shouldn't have taken it. There is no reason for my sister-in-law to feel wronged by the dirty things done by the Yongchang Hou Mansion. What's more, the big brother was really used for the money. Very little on me."

However, Su Yue didn't accept it, and pushed it back: "I'm not short of money, if I give it, I give it away. I'm afraid you don't have much dowry left. If you have this money, you might as well go and redeem it."

However, Gao Ruomei insisted: "My sister-in-law must accept it. The Zhang family and I have already torn faces. My father is the prefect of Linzhou. The Zhang family lost their title. Now they are ordinary people. If I want to leave, they can't keep it." It's just that before leaving, I still want to sort out the right and wrong, so that even if I return empty-handed, it's nothing. I don't owe anyone, I only owe my sister-in-law an apology. When Zhang Sanlang framed you, I didn't stop him. "

Seeing the determination on Gao Ruomei's face, Su Yue finally accepted it, and she said, "Okay, then I wish you the best of luck."

"We should not see each other in the future, Mrs. Su, to be honest, I really admire you. No matter what happens to me in the future, as long as I think of you, there is nothing to be afraid of." Gao Ruomei stood up, as if she had settled the problem. Mind, smiled.

Su Yue sent her out.

Watching her leaving back, Su Yue sighed deeply, this world is extremely harsh on Heli women, I hope Gao Ruomei will be brave in the future.

When she turned around, she suddenly saw a young woman hesitating outside the door with her head poking around.

Su Yue looked at it strangely for a while, and finally walked over and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Her voice almost startled the woman, and she looked at her in a daze.

Su Yue saw that she was dressed cleanly, but her clothes were patched and old, so she knew that she was a girl from a poor family. Her head was wrapped with a cloth scarf, which was not the style of the capital city, and she was carrying a shriveled bag, which probably came from other places.

What caught Su Yue's attention the most was that the girl was holding a gossip tabloid in her hand. Su Yue took a closer look, it was the issue when Su Yue Cloth opened a few months ago.

So he understood, and asked with a smile: "I am the owner of Buzhuang, named Su Yue, did you come to find me on purpose?"

Seeing Su Yue's gentle eyebrows and warm smile, the girl let go of her vigilance a little bit and nodded. She held up a passage in the newspaper and asked: "Ma'am, you said here that as long as someone has difficulties, they will I can come to you, can't I?"

Su Yue affirmed: "Yes."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but there was a hint of hesitation between her brows, and she asked again: "Can I do anything, can you help me find someone?"

The smile on Su Yue's face deepened, she held her hand and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's fine. Let's sit inside, if you have any troubles, just tell me, if I can't solve it, I will take you to the gossip tabloid shop, Let more people help you."

Su Xing came over with another cup of tea, then stayed beside Su Yue and looked at the girl curiously.

The girl was very cautious, and she didn't dare to sit on the half of the chair. She took a sip of tea carefully, as if it was still not enough, and took two more gulps to quench her thirst, but what followed was an uncontrollable hunger.

She blushed instantly, and she didn't dare to look at Su Yue.

Su Xing also heard this voice, hurriedly ran out, and came in with a stack of pastries after a while.

Su Yue patted her head appreciatively, and pushed the pastries in front of the girl: "These are leftover pastries for the guests, if you don't finish them today, they might go bad tomorrow."

The girl heard the good intentions, so she didn't refuse: "Thank you, madam." She picked up a hibiscus cake and ate it slowly with tea. Although she was hungry, she didn't gobble it up. It can be seen that her education is not bad.

Seeing her eating slow down, Su Yue asked, "I don't know how to call it?"

The girl put down the pastry and replied: "My surname is Hua, and my name is Rui. Madam calls me A Rui."

"Good name, isn't Arui from Beijing?"

"My home is in a small mountain village in Yuezhou."

"Harui has read?"

"Father taught me how to read."

"From A Rui's point of view, did you come to Beijing to find someone?"

Hua Rui nodded, and those bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Who is it, do you know him?"

"I know, he...he is a Juren, this year he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he never went back." Moisture slowly appeared in Hua Rui's eyes.

"Oh?" Su Yue smiled, "It's only five months away from Chunwei, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to my hometown so soon, and if I lose the first place, I will have to wait for three years."

Huarui twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a wry smile: "I know, it's mother. His mother asked me to accompany him. She was afraid that he would not be able to live well, and that he would not be taken care of for his daily necessities. I would not disturb his studies. , After inquiring, I found out that he was hit."

Su Yue was taken aback for a moment, and heard something unusual from inside, so she asked, "He has no clothes to return home, so report the news?"

Huarui shook her head: "No, even when I arrived in the capital, he didn't want to see me. In fact, I just wanted to see him, to report my safety, and I didn't want to do anything."

Su Yue frowned slowly: "Who is he, and what is his name?"

Huarui's hand shrank slightly, and she lowered her head.
