Big traitor pregnant with my cub

Going back to the inn where she was staying with Ah Yao, Zhou Yi stopped the chattering little girl who wanted to follow into the house, and told her to go play by herself, then closed the door and closed the room alone. Thinking about things in the room.

The little girl was not convinced, and she was still talking outside: "Sir, you are always like this. Whenever you have something to do, you lock yourself up and think about it alone. Why don't you tell me, and I can give you some advice anyway?"

"Sir? Sir?"

After calling "Sir" twice, she stood on tiptoe and looked in desperately through the little gap between the two doors, but there was still no movement in the room, and she was discouraged, and she said a harsh word before leaving: "OK , then I don’t care about you, you can figure it out on your own, I’m leaving.”

She stomped her feet and walked away angrily, and Zhou Yi's ears were finally cleansed in the room. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and reorganized the cause and effect again, and he really fell for Xia Jing's words .

That person probably has been setting him up since he went out to enjoy the beauty, eat, drink and have fun. Now that I think about it, he was paralyzing him step by step until yesterday, when the boat was listening to the opera, and the tea was mixed with ingredients, it gave him a fatal attack. one strike!

It was just after the morning, and the sun shone into the house from the east through the gaps in the window lattices. Together with the crisp chirping of birds among the branches outside the window, it was a scene of warmth and vitality in spring.

But when he recalled the dirty incident last night, he couldn't relax and be happy no matter what, it's just too absurd.He was also angry with himself for losing his vigilance at such a critical moment, and even more angry with himself for not being able to resist the erosion of drugs. Damn it, he was not good with anyone, but it was this person!

But to take a step back, the fact that the other party can walk him with such peace of mind, does it mean that the purpose of playing tricks in Enke this time has been achieved, or that the process has been planned?Where did he do it?

Zhou Yi thought about it and couldn't find any flaws. After careful calculation, it was only a few days before the official start of the exam.

A sense of anxiety gradually filled the room, and finally he simply walked to the desk and sat down.

The paperweight brushes the white paper, rolls up the sleeves and grinds the ink, picks up the pen and dips a small amount of ink, contemplates for a moment, and writes down a few names on the paper. It seems to be printed.

After writing, he put down the pen, and stared at the names on the paper to study them bit by bit. He went through their biography, resume, and the situation of their relatives. A series of information lingered in his mind. .

This stupid method really made him find some clues, so his eyes locked on one of the names.

Yu Ming, the current Jiangsu Xuezheng, is also one of the examiners of Enke this year. He was the same imperial examination student as him, and later worked together in the Imperial Academy. He is quite talented, honest and honest, and has a good official voice. love.

This person has only one daughter under his knees. It is said that he got married a few years ago, and her husband is the son of a local salt merchant surnamed Huang.Perhaps, this line can be followed.

Just after he figured it out, there was a sound like a drum beating in his belly. He recalled in a daze that when he woke up today, there was a turmoil. It was almost noon now, and there was still no rice or water. Here comes the empty city plan.

So he quickly got up and opened the door, and shouted into the yard: "A Yao, A Yao, sir, I'm hungry, have you cooked yet?"

There was no sound in the yard, and Ah Yao, a little girl, didn't know where to play.

Reluctantly, she could only turn around and enter the room, and caught a glimpse of the door she was holding on to. Zhou Yi remembered that when he came back in the morning, he was in a hurry to find clues, so he sent Ah Yao to go out to play by himself.

This is great, no one is cooking, so his stomach will suffer.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard again. Could it be Ah Yao who came back?No, if it was Ah Yao, there was no need to knock on the door like that, she would definitely open the door and come in by herself.

After such a short delay, there was another knock on the door outside, and Zhou Yi walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, there was a personal attendant named Xia Chuan outside, he nodded and bowed and said: "Master Zhou, my master heard you shouting that you are hungry, so he specially asked the younger one to invite you to share lunch. "

Zhou Yi glanced at the courtyard next door, yes, that person lived next door, and there was only a wall between the courtyards on both sides, he thought he heard his voice calling Ah Yao just now.

He's back too?It's all like this, and you still have to invite yourself to dinner?

This thought only passed through his mind once, and Zhou Yi politely declined the invitation: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, but Mr. Zhou has something important to do today, so I won't bother you."

Xia Chuan was curious about the intention of his lord to invite this Lord Zhou, and he was not sure what attitude he should use to serve this person to make him satisfied. This is good, Master Zhou refused, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Clasping his fists and saying "Farewell", Xia Chuan turned around and left without looking back.

Zhou Yi stood at the door and watched Xia Chuan return to the next yard, went back and changed the green shirt on her body, and changed into a gray-blue robe, then Shi Shi ran out of the hotel and went to another house to eat.

The place is not very far from the hotel, just walk across a stone bridge and then through a few alleys. The one with the "Yu Fu" plaque on the lintel is the one.

When they came to Yu's mansion, Zhou Yi knocked on the door, thinking to himself, Hong Sheng, please don't let me down.

The porter who opened the door didn't recognize him, so he looked him up and down cautiously, and asked, "Excuse me?"

Zhou Yi only said: "Go and report to your master, just say that Zhong Chang is visiting."

The porter was not sure whether he was an old friend of his master or someone else, so he asked him to wait outside the door, then closed the door, and went in to announce.

Seeing that the concierge of his house was so strict with strangers, Zhou Yi didn't think it would be a problem, and waited at the door with An Anxin.

It didn't take long for the gate of Yu Mansion to open again. This time, Yu Ming came out to greet him in person. He was a typical middle-aged literati, with a short beard on his chin, kind eyebrows and friendly eyes. He confessed to Zhou Yi when he came up: "Sorry, Zhong Usually, the servants don’t recognize people, so they left you outside the door.” Saying this, he hurriedly welcomed Zhou Yi in.

"It's okay, it's okay, has Hong Sheng had lunch yet, I'm here for dinner today, so don't make me annoyed."

Yu Ming clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Where is this? How could I find you bothering me? When I was in the capital, I didn't miss visiting your house for dinner."

He explained casually: "The concierge of my house is not like this on weekdays. It's not that Enke is coming. As one of the examiners, there will always be a concierge who wants to do crooked ways. I will tell him to be more careful."

Zhou Yi smiled: "That's how it should be." Glancing at the scenery in the mansion, it was just an ordinary mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, far less exquisite and delicate than those famous gardens, and it was so simple that it didn't look like the residence of a provincial academic and political official. Di.

Yu Ming led him to the dining room: "It's a coincidence that you came here, I'm eating here."

The two walked through the garden into the dining room and sat down at the round table. There were only three dishes and one soup on the table, and there were no special delicacies. Yu Ming ordered the waiter to bring another bowl of rice, and said : "My family is just a regular meal, Zhong Chang, don't dislike it."

Zhou Yi waved her hand: "What are you talking about? I'm just a person who eats food. I don't think I hate my master. Why don't you see my wife?"

Yu Ming said: "It's not that the little girl is newly pregnant. My husband and I have lived for most of our lives with only one seedling. She went to the son-in-law's house to help take care of one or two."

Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "This is a good thing, congratulations, Hong Sheng is going to be a grandfather soon. I remember that your in-laws have a big business. I heard that they are salt merchants."

"Where is the marriage? The sisters of the wife's family helped to negotiate the marriage back then. If you want me to say, you should find a well-matched official family, so you don't worry."

"You can't say that. The Huang family also has the name of an imperial merchant, so it doesn't count as wronging your girl."

At this time, the servants brought the food, Yu Ming greeted Zhou Yi to eat, while he was eating, he suddenly sighed: "I think if my siblings weren't...you should be from the grandfather's generation."

Looking up, I saw Zhou Yi's chopsticks for picking up vegetables stopped, and hurriedly slapped his mouth: "Look what I'm talking about, come, come, eat and eat." He picked up another chopsticks for Zhou Yi, "This garlic sprout is from my home. I planted it myself, and I even watered it, try it quickly.”

Zhou Yi came back to her senses, and responded with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Okay, then I'll try the vegetables grown by Hong Sheng." Put the garlic sprouts and a mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed it, and nodded Compliment, "Well, it's really fragrant."

The two casually chatted about some old things while eating, the atmosphere was not bad, and the host and guest had a good time.

Before leaving, Yu Ming sent Zhou Yi to the door. After Zhou Yi said goodbye, he suddenly said, "Hong Sheng, I just realized that the tables and chairs in your house are all made of huanghuali wood."

Yu Ming was startled, and quickly explained with a smile: "It's not that the son-in-law is filial. He said he got two sets, one for his father, and the other for me. I thought it was just a little bit of kindness from the younger generation, so I decided to give it to him." Accepted."

"Oh, that's it, Hong Sheng is really lucky. Well, then I'll go now, go back, don't send it off." Zhou Yi bowed his hands and said goodbye.

He said no need to send him off, how could Yu Ming not send him off, he just sent him out of this alley before turning back.

After Zhou Yi finished her meal and left Yu's mansion, she didn't go back to the hotel right away, and wandered alone to the Qingguan hotel that Xia Jing had been to the day before yesterday.

It is said to be Qingguan Hall, but it actually looks like an ordinary rich man's house from the outside, with white walls and black tiles, horse-headed gable walls, cornices with corners, and lattice windows, but here are the most carefully trained | Yangzhou skinny horse, ordinary people have no way to even enter the door.

This house is located by the small Qinhuai River in the city. In the afternoon, the boats on the river have not yet set out, and they are quietly parked in the river. The boats pass by the river leisurely, which is endlessly relaxing.

The branches of willows on the bank are swaying, reflecting gracefully in the river. Among the luxuriant grass, pedestrians stroll past, and sometimes the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras comes with the wind. It is said that the red sleeve wants to ascend to the immortal".

He passed through thousands of green silk ribbons, and stopped in front of the door of the Qingguan's house that day, and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

"When everyone came together the day before yesterday, Mr. Zhou kept his eyes on him and pretended to be an upright gentleman. So he was waiting to come here alone today to enjoy the soft jade and fragrance? Is it true that Mr. Zhou is not afraid of losing his health because of having fun every day?"
