Seeing how anxious her grandma was, Qiao'er knew that she must not have had a good rest these two days, so she felt ashamed and lowered her head, confessing her mistake very sincerely: "It turned out that it was my fault that I left the house on my own, and made my grandma, uncle and aunt suffer. Worried about me."

Wang Liushi also came from the courtyard, and couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "It's not just us who are worried, Qing'er and Ban'er brothers and sisters are also worried. It's because Qing'er let you go out quietly. In the past two days, Ban'er was so angry that she didn't even pay attention to her. He even went to the city to look for you that day. Maybe he didn't know where you were staying, and he was angry for a long time when he came back in the evening. No, he just went back to his room. , it so happened that you came here."

Qiao'er pursed her lips and forced a smile, she was only puzzled in her heart, since Ban'er knew that she was calling her, and was anxious to find her, how could it be difficult to meet her.

Grandma Liu and Mrs. Wang and Liu saw her standing stupidly, thinking that she was still thinking about the matter of going out privately before, and it was hard to say what she said, so they pulled her arm into the yard with love and compassion, and closed the doorway : "After going out for two days, I became thinner than before. Is it because the food and accommodation outside are not good?"

Qiaoer came back to her senses and quickly smiled and said no. Seeing that grandma and the others were all there, it was not easy to go over and ask Baner what was going on at the moment, so she smiled and said, "I live and eat with the uncle, and there are people in the house on the left and right. Is there any reason why it is not good to eat and live with people who go out to take care of you? It’s just that the weather is too hot and it’s easy to get tired of eating, so I reduced my diet.”

Grandma Liu smiled and said: "You can't eat much as a girl, so why are you tired of it? It's because you were too delicate in the past, so you got this delicate body. It's okay to reduce your diet, as long as you don't starve yourself. gone."

After finishing speaking, she asked Zhou Fuxiang about the exam, Qiaoer told her grandma again what she had said to Mrs. Zhou, and grandma happily said: "Yesterday I went to the house of Granny Li in front of me, and I told people Speaking of Grandpa, everyone said that he was ambitious, well-read, was admitted as a scholar at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and was gentle with others. Hearing what you said today, uncle must be absolutely sure this time."

Qiao'er smiled and said nothing. Seeing Wang Gou'er chopping firewood in the yard, she hurried up to say hello, and Gou'er also smiled and said hello to her. Seeing her hot head sweating, he called his wife and said, "Boom!" Damn, the girl is so hot, didn't you see it?"

When Wang Liu heard about it, she took a quick look at Qiao'er, and she saw the sweat on her forehead. She was surprised and said, "Hey, the sun has gone down, why is the girl still so hot? Come on, let's go inside the room." Rest and go, the embroidery shop has been very busy these two days, and Qing'er hasn't come back yet. Girl, sit down for a while, and I'll boil some water for you, wash up and then come out to eat." As he spoke, he hurriedly fetched water Go, grandma went to add firewood to the shed.

Qiao'er is inconvenient to say that the sweat on her forehead is from chasing after Ban'er, and it happens that her body really needs to be washed, so she goes back to the house and finds a suit of clean clothes, only to change after taking a bath, but accidentally puts Qing'er Several jobs of weaving and embroidery were also turned out.Nothing happened anyway, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at them one by one, admiring in her heart that it was so rare that Qing'er could see clearly, the beige silk bellyband with multicolored embroidered figures, flowers and plants Ruyi was more outstanding in needlework than before, and looked at the multicolored one again The red silk and satin embroidered with twine patterns over the main waist is good, but the color matching of the thread is a little perfunctory.She was concentrating on watching, seeing that the inlaid thread around the main waist had not been hooked up, so she took black thread from the thread basket and traced the pattern to embroider.

Halfway through the embroidery work, Grandma Liu's water has already boiled. Mrs. Wang and Liu brought her to the room, and moved into the bathtub, waiting for her to take a bath. Qiaoer waved her hand and said with a smile: " Don't bother auntie, I wash it myself, too."

Wang Liushi smiled at her insistence, so she didn't stay in the room. She came out and closed the door. Qiaoer washed off the dust and sweat, changed her clothes and came out.Qing'er came home at this moment, saw Qiao'er, smiled and said: "At last, I was looking forward to your return. I really don't know how I got here when you were not around." He muttered secretly, "The woman had only left for half a day, and grandma and father and mother found out. I couldn't hide it, so I had to tell them the truth and ask them to scold me. That's all right, Brother Ban'er I don’t know what kind of magic, when I said you went out secretly, or the luggage I brought you, I threw the bowls and chopsticks in anger, and asked him what’s wrong and didn’t speak. In the afternoon, I drove Uncle Li’s donkey with brother Shunzi , I chased them to the city, and heard from Brother Shunzi that the two of them went to several big inns but didn’t see Uncle Fu staying in. Later, they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get out of the city after dark, so Brother Shunzi coaxed my brother back by coaxing him back.”

Qiao'er vaguely understood why Ban'er saw that she was ignoring him, and whispered in Qing'er's ear: "I saw Brother Ban'er when I just came back, and I can't blame him for being angry, and he didn't answer after calling several times."

Qing'er covered his stutter and giggled: "Take care of him, he will be fine after a while. Don't talk so much, come out to eat quickly." Saying that, the two sisters went into the shed together, and Ban'er saw him The two of them picked up a few mouthfuls of food randomly, put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."

The grandma and the Gou'er couple shouted behind him: "What's the rush, you'll be full after eating as much as you want?"

Ban'er didn't pay attention when he heard it, and walked around behind Qing'er Qiaoer.Qiao'er fiddled with the rice grains in the bowl slowly with the tip of her chopsticks, lowered her head and said nothing, when Qing'er saw this, she hurriedly put some vegetables into the bowl for her, and said with a light smile: "Sister, leave him alone, Let's eat ours."

I don't know what Qiao'er said, let's say that Ban'er was angry, and he didn't go back to the house to sit or stand, just wander around the ground.After a while, it sounded like he had finished his meal in the shed over there, and when he heard footsteps coming, he stood by the door and looked out through the crack of the door, Qing'er was nagging and didn't know what he was joking with Qiao'er , making her brows and eyes calm.Ban'er didn't know why, but he had a strange temper again, kicked the door angrily, turned around and lay down.Qing'er and Ban'er in the courtyard were talking happily, but after he made such a fuss, the two of them were startled, they were relatively speechless and had no choice but to laugh, and went back to the room silently.

After meeting Qiaoer again, although Qiaoer wanted to talk to Baner, he was stubborn and too frank, and whenever she wanted to speak, he avoided her early in the morning.Because Qing'er didn't understand the reason for Ban'er's anger, she persuaded him several times to not change, so she had no choice but to let him go, but told Qiao'er to ignore him, and it would be good if she had time to go to the Zhou Mansion to play, Qiao'er was thinking of Zhou Fuxiang Not in the mansion, I was embarrassed to go there, so I took Qing'er in the room to do the rest of the work to pass the time, so two days passed.Today, Ban'er still ignores Qiao'er. Qiao'er saw that he was so funny and angry, but happened to see that grandma and the others were not there, so she might as well ask the matter clearly, so she couldn't help saying: "Brother, if you have anything to say, you can say it face to face, like this What's the point?"

Ban'er stopped when he heard the words, but didn't look back, and hummed with his hands behind his back, "I'm not interesting, anyway, there are more people who are more interesting than me."

"Why do you say that?" Qiao'er was not surprised, and quickly asked him: "Did I do something to annoy my brother?"

Ban'er snorted: "Girl's work has no place for us to comment on. We are just country folks. We are not as well-informed as the girl, and we are not as good as others, so we are only worthy of doing some farm work in the fields. Just don't annoy the girl, how dare you say that the girl is annoying us."

"You..." Qiao'er heard his words becoming more and more outrageous, and the sulking anger that had been pent up for two days also burst out at this moment, and she said coldly, "Okay, you also made your words clear. How could I Now that I’ve seen a lot, who can speak eloquently? Since I came home, my brother has raised eyebrows or raised eyes to me these days, but whenever I know what’s wrong, it’s good to accompany him. But brother takes These words are choking, do I think I am unreasonable in the eyes of my brother?"

She spoke almost in one go, Ban Er was stunned, although he still turned his head, but his heart was already three points short.It turned out that when Qing'er said that Qiao'er went to the city privately with Zhou Fuxiang, he didn't know anyone, even he kept it from him, and he wanted to get angry for no reason.Thinking that I treat Qiaoer with sincerity, even the two of us get along closer than others on weekdays, come and go together, and have a teacher-student friendship. It's not peaceful, what if something happens when she goes there?Even if nothing happened, how would she get along with Zhou Fuxiang as a girl?

Thinking of how many times he had foolishly ran to the city to look for it, and now that Qiaoer came back not only unrepentant, but also asked him what was wrong, he couldn't swallow his breath anymore, so he opened the door in a fit of anger.

He ignored Qiaoer's words so far, his eyes were red with anger, and he covered his sleeves and wiped it in anger. He was about to go back to his room, when the door opened to go out, when he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Brother Qiaoer, Qiaoer!" Brother, hurry up, something happened in the house."

Qiao'er hurriedly turned her head and saw Wu'er, Zhou Fuxiang's companion, who was sweating profusely and looked flustered. She didn't care to vent her anger with Ban'er, so she hurried over and said, "What happened, tell me quickly."

Seeing him approaching, Wu'er wiped off his sweat, her lips trembled, and she almost shed tears: "Qiu Wei No. [-]...the exam room is flooded."

"What did you say?" Qiao'er was startled immediately, she stepped out of the door and asked, "Where is the water?"

Wu'er mourned and said: "The examination room is flooded in the examination room, the fire burned the ****, and the row of examination booths were all burned up, all burned down."

"How did this happen, how did this happen?" Qiao'er murmured to herself, shaking her head in disbelief, the huge examination room was so well-equipped, it hadn't failed for so many years, why did it fail just this time?

"Where is your son, Yanqing...Where is Yanqing?" Wu'er unconsciously grasped Wu'er's sleeves with both hands, and Qiao'er looked at him in horror, fearing that he would give an answer that she didn't want to hear.

Ban'er was also very surprised. Seeing that she seemed to be frightened, he hurriedly pulled her over and said, "Don't panic, ask carefully before talking." In the shed?"
