farmer's husband

Chapter 284

"I know."

Unexpectedly, with a calm expression on his face, Chai Dong supported Li Xiaozi with one hand and pulled her up with the other. "Walk."

Chun Zhi hurriedly followed him through the crowd, and soon arrived at the place outside Lantern Street.

On Lantern Street, the lanterns are like daytime, and the crowds are surging, creating a lively and peaceful scene.But who would have thought that within thirty steps away from this place, it would already be terribly cold?
The family of three walked over quietly, when they heard Wang's impatient voice: "What are you doing?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me? I should ask you this, right? What did you come back for? You actually brought that child back! You don't want to die, do you? Now, take him away quickly. Don't come here again, do you hear?" An anxious voice replied.

"Why? I don't want to!" Wang yelled angrily, "That's my son, he has nothing to do with anyone in your capital! If he passed the Jinshi examination, he still wants to be an official in the imperial court! My son is so smart, his talent will be buried if he doesn't become a high official!"

"You, you, what time is this, and you are still dreaming such a beautiful dream!" The other party was obviously irritated by Wang, "Believe it or not, when those people find out his true identity, he won't say it If he becomes an official, even his fame will be taken away! They still remember the things his father did back then, who would want to watch his son return to the court and continue to call the shots?"

"If you don't tell them, they won't know about it?" Wang Shi said.

The other party was immediately choked and speechless for a long time.

"Why are you still so naive?" In the end, he couldn't help but sighed, "Since they are father and son, there must be a great similarity between them, so I can't see them unless I tell them." Did you come out? Do you take me for a fool, or do you think everyone in the officialdom is a fool?"

"Then I don't care. They like to discover and discover. Originally, Mrs. Madam was wronged. They died too badly! Madam's only wish in this life is to make him stand out. I must make Madam's dream come true!" In the end, Wang was just messing around.

The other party was outraged.

"Anyway, you're just stubborn, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Wang replied firmly.

"Well, just keep being so stubborn! You will regret it in the future, for sure!"

The other party gritted his teeth and reprimanded a few words, then turned around and left.

But just a few steps away, his footsteps stopped.

Because—he saw Chai Dong and Chun Zhi.

"The surname Qi?" Chai Dong asked quietly.

The other party was startled, and quickly lowered his head and walked over to him quickly.

When Wang heard the movement, she also came out.Seeing Chai Dong standing there, her face turned pale.

"You, why are you here?" Her voice trembled a little.

Chai Dong lowered his eyes. "While walking on the road, I suddenly found that you were missing, so we came out to look for it."

"Oh, that's it! When I was walking on the road just now, I met an old friend. I came out to talk with him in a moment of excitement. I didn't expect to scare you!" Wang explained dryly, "This matter is Mother is wrong, it will definitely not be like this in the future. Let's go, let's go back and watch the lanterns!"

"Okay." Chai Dong nodded, but grabbed her hand, "Mother, don't get lost again."

After Wang paused, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, mother will definitely not be like this in the future!" She nodded quickly.

Because of the presence of Kid Li, even though everyone is pretending to be troubled now, as long as they hear the child's cheerful laughter, everyone's mood can't help but relax.

They had a good time watching the next half of Lantern Street.

And after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere of the year in the capital faded a little.Seeing that the day of the exam is coming, the candidates who came to rush for the exam became active.

There are also students from all over the world in the inn where Chai Dong and the others are temporarily staying.Immediately, someone came over to invite Chai Dong to discuss the article together, and Chai Dong agreed.

So, in the second half of the first month and the first few days of February, Chai Dong left early and returned late almost every day.Through the introduction of the students in the inn, he met more students, many of whom were well-read in poetry and books.Everyone seized the time before the exam and got together to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. Every day was very busy.

Mrs. Wang didn't go out anymore either, she stayed at home with Chun Zhi every day to take care of Li Xiaozi.No one came to see her again.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

However, for some reason, as the day of the exam drew closer, Chun Zhi became more and more nervous, and her heart beat faster and faster.And not only was she uncomfortable in her heart, she even began to feel uncomfortable physically.

She always felt that something seemed to happen.

But Chai Dong was busy with his studies every day, so she didn't dare to spoil his mood, so she could only whisper a few words to Wang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang put on a straight face. "You say you, it's not good to say something at this time, do you have to say such frustrating words? My son is doing well, and now his knowledge is also praised by everyone. It is a certainty that he will be a Jinshi this time. You It happened to be his bad luck at this time, are you afraid that if my son becomes an official, he will marry a lady from a rich family and divorce you, a country wife?"

"Mother, I didn't, I really don't think it's right." Chun Zhi quickly explained.

But Wang didn't listen at all. "You give me less nonsense! Be more honest in the next few days, don't say anything in front of my son, do you hear me?"

"mother……"

"Did you hear me!"

"Yes, I heard." Chun Zhi nodded helplessly.It seems that she can't say that to anyone now.

However, she didn't need to say it, and it soon proved that her guess was correct.

On this day, Chai Dong went out to make a fuss with others again.But he went out in good spirits in the morning, but at night, he came back full of cold.

Although the weather in the capital is still cold at this time, the air conditioner on his body is still a bit too heavy!

When Chun Zhi approached him, he was startled trembling.

Seeing this, Li Xiaozi quickly ran to Wang's side to hide.Xiao Sanzi and Xiao Hei also curled up in the corners of the room, the farthest from Chai Dong.

Harue took a deep breath, and she walked slowly to his side. "What happened? Did someone bother you again?"

"No." Chai Dong shook his head, "I heard something from a man in the capital today - it happened 20 years ago."

Chun Zhi's heart skipped a beat!
She quickly pulled up a chair and sat down beside him. "What's up?"

"Twenty years ago, the first emperor died, and the current emperor succeeded. However, according to folklore at that time, there was actually a seventh prince who was the most powerful contender for the throne. He recruited a large number of capable people and strangers, and these people helped him grow his power to a level unmatched by other princes in just over ten years. Three provinces and six ministries, half of them are his people! Follow this trend Going down, the throne belongs to him. But in the end, for some reason, the Seventh Prince suddenly killed himself in his palace. Then, his power fell apart, and all the capable people and strange men under him disappeared." Chai Dong said slowly Said.

Chun Zhi was confused.She didn't know much about the internal affairs of the royal family, but after hearing what Chai Dong said, she also felt that this matter was very strange.

"Just, do these things have anything to do with us?"

"I didn't feel it at first. But, I heard another name from him -- Chai Yibo." Chai Dong said slowly and slowly.

Chun Zhi was immediately shocked!
She didn't know what was going on, but when she heard this name, she felt a coldness emanating from her spine and spreading all over her body in an instant.She is now cold all over.

"This person..." she said softly.

Chai Dong continued. "He is the chief counselor of the Seventh Prince. He has even been pushed into the Ministry of Officials by the Seventh Prince, and then climbed steadily. At the age of less than 40 years old, he will become the servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Wow!
When Chun Zhi heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although she doesn't know much about officialdom, she also knows how capable it is that a person in his 30s can become a second-rank official.You know, the prefect of their Sanjiang province is already in his early forties, and he is only a fifth-rank prefect.There are also the top three in the mid-autumn exam with Chai Dong last year, and one of them is also in his 30s!How many people have just entered the officialdom at this age, but he is almost at the top!How can this not make her curious?
However, she also heard it - she was about to become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but she hadn't yet.

"Then, what happened next?" She asked hurriedly.

"Later, he died. The whole family committed suicide and was buried for the Seventh Prince." Chai Dong replied coldly.

"Oh my God!"

This time, Chunzhi not only felt cold all over, but also felt cold in her whole heart!
