The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 135 Siyuan Township Examination
In the morning of the next day, Mama Shi was applying ointment to Fang Xiuyi's hands, when the people in the house reported that Mrs. Cheng had come to visit.

Lian Zixin walked in without waiting for Fang Xiuyi to greet her.

"Zixin, why are you here?" Fang Xiu opened her hands and stood up quickly.

"Yesterday I was restless. If I hadn't been crying, I would have rushed to Xiyue Nunnery." Lian Zixin looked Fang Xiuyi up and down, "However, it seems that my worries are unnecessary. , you look happy now."

Fang Xiu blushed, and subconsciously smoothed out her hair at the sideburns, but she didn't expect to apply the ointment to her hair.

"Hehe, look at you, I just said a few words casually, you are so nervous! Hurry up, Mama Shi, quickly wipe your wife's hair!"

After Fang Xiuyi's jewelry was in place, Lian Zixin grabbed her hand and looked at it again, "Look at your hand, what does it look like! Does it hurt?"

"Actually, I only feel the pain now. I didn't know the pain yesterday." At that time, all my attention was on escaping, so I couldn't care less about it.

"Look, look, there are wounds on this face too. Are there any wounds on the body?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. They are all scratches. They will heal in a few days. Don't worry."

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in this Xiyue Nunnery. Speaking of which, my mother went there ten years ago."

"That's right, who knows that such a place of so much praise has become a place where filth is hidden." Fang Xiuyi was also a little discouraged when she said that, things happened everywhere.

"Fortunately, you're fine. I heard from my husband that Xiyue Temple has been closed and the government is conducting a thorough investigation. Those villains will be caught soon."

"After I was caught, I also wanted to hear the reason. It really hurt me!" Not only was it the issue of being frightened and injured, but more importantly, Fang Xiu thought about how her reputation would be spread.

"Don't worry. I heard that even the emperor attaches great importance to such a big matter. It's no problem to catch a few bad guys."

"By the way, Pingzhen is okay, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Very good, I can already crawl." Lian Zixin said, "Xiuyi, since you all agree to betroth the child, why don't we hold a banquet when Pingzhen is one year old and announce it."

"You, are you sure?" After I said it last time, He Huai'an agreed after thinking for a long time, but everyone hasn't announced it to the public, and now her reputation is not very good. She is afraid that Lian Zixin's family will be hurt, "Don't think about it carefully. think?"

"What else is there to think about? It's rare to have such an in-law that we can talk about!" Lian Zixin had an expression of winning, and felt that finding Fang Xiuyi was like digging up a treasure.

Fang Xiuyi was about to say something, and then received a report that Mrs. Qin paid a visit to the house.

"Mrs. Qin, were you together yesterday?" Lian Zixin asked.

"Yes, it's also fortunate that Madam Qin is here, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get out yesterday! When I have a chance later, I will tell you about yesterday's experience in detail."

"Okay, it's thrilling to think about it. I heard that Mrs. Qin has a mediocre background, but she has a strong personality. Mr. Qin's achievements today are all the result of Mrs. Qin's urging."

Fang Xiu was shocked that there was such an operation!Although she felt that Mrs. Qin was very independent and assertive, and she didn't hesitate at critical moments, she really didn't expect such a big achievement!
Mrs. Qin didn't expect that even Zixin was there, so she was a little surprised.

"Mrs. Cheng! Nice to meet you!"

It sounds like the two don't seem to have much contact with each other on weekdays.

"Madam Qin, I didn't expect to meet you here. I heard what happened yesterday, is Madam Qin okay?"

"Thank you Madam Cheng for your concern. Everything is fine, just a little scratch."

"That's really lucky!" Lian Zixin said a few words, and Fang Xiuyi and the other two said, "The little girl is still at home, I will stay soon, let's go first. Mrs. Qin, drink tea another day!"

"Thank you Madam Cheng for the invitation, I look forward to it!"

"Zixin, bring Pingzhen over to play in a few days."

"Understood, you can recover from your injury first."

Watching Lian Zixin go away, Fang Xiuyi hurriedly said to Mrs. Qin: "Sorry, Mrs. Qin, please wait!"

"Where!" Mrs. Qin smiled, "In the past, I only heard that Mrs. Cheng is extremely talented, but now I see her so frankly."

"That's not it!" Fang Xiu greeted Mrs. Qin, "Sit down, Mrs. Qin!"

"Thank you!"

"How is Mrs. Qin's injury?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just like this wound on the face, it's very slight, and it will be fine in a few days."

"me too."

"Madam He's screen is really a masterpiece!" Because Fang Xiuyi was applying medicine, she didn't avoid Lian Zixin just now, so Madam Qin was invited to the bedroom.

"Yeah, I like it very much too. It was embroidered by my aunt!" Chang Ning was also worried about the affairs of the house recently.

"It's really emotional, Mr. He's family is full of dragons and phoenixes!"

"Who dare to be! They are all ordinary people." Fang Xiuyi was modest, but in fact she also thought so. In this family, except for her and Si Zhuo, the other four were all geniuses.

"Mrs. He, I really depended on you yesterday, otherwise I don't know what will happen to me."

"Where is it? I just mentioned you to Mrs. Cheng. Without your help, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out of that ghostly place."

"I never expected such a thing to happen. However, it is God's will to get to know Mrs. He through this."

"Hehe, making Mrs. Qin laugh, knowing me may not be a good thing." Fang Xiuyi laughed at herself.

"Mrs. He doesn't have to be like this. It's not your fault. The turmoil outside is all lies. I only felt deeply when I met Mrs. He yesterday. I hate seeing each other so late."

"I dare not take it, but it is also a kind of fate that everyone can talk about it."

"Of course it's fate." Mrs. Qin thought for a while, and then said, "I came here today mainly to thank Mrs. He for taking care of my friend."

Fang Xiuyi knew that Mrs. Qin was referring to the lady she met in the tunnel, and she knew that He Huai'an had handled it well, and she didn't ask who that person was. Since they were all gone, why bother to make regrets.

"Madam Qin, you don't have to be polite, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

"Then I should also thank Mrs. He for making her more decent."

Fang Xiu could hear the sadness and sorrow in Madam Qin's tone.

"The deceased is gone, we don't have to think so much. If your friend has other things that I can help, please don't hesitate."

"She left a young son, five years old. However, it was properly arranged."

"As a mother, I can't bear to hear things like this happen."

"Yeah, seeing that child, I really hate and feel sorry for him!" Mrs. Qin's eyes were red when she said that.

Fang Xiuyi didn't speak. If it was her friend, if she saw it, she wouldn't know how crazy she would be.

Several wives who had been friends with Fang Xiuyi on weekdays all came to visit her one after another, which made Fang Xiuyi feel warm in his heart.When the people from her side were almost here, Fang Xiuyi asked Fei Yu to visit Mrs. Gu in Gu's house on her behalf.

"Honey, take Mama Shi with you, and express your mother's concerns and greetings." Fang Xiuyi helped Fei Yu tidy up her clothes. The wound on her palm has healed up a lot, and other small scratches have also faded away. "Mother believes that you will express it very well."

"Mother, won't you go?"

"No, it's not easy to go to visit with mother's injuries." In fact, Fang Xiuyi was more concerned about it. It seemed that Mrs. Gu cared about her unwarranted reputation these few times. Just go to add trouble to others.

"Mother, I understand, please rest assured, mother, I will definitely convey my greetings."

"Well, my mother is very relieved."

Fei Yu left with a group of people, and then brought a large group back.

"Meet Mrs. He!" Gu Qizhi greeted Fang Xiuyi.

"Get up, there is no need to be polite. Mama Shi, please sit down quickly, Miss Gu." Although Fang Xiuyi had some complaints about Mrs. Gu, she still really liked Gu Qizhi.

"Mrs. Xie He!" Gu Qizhi has also grown up, one year older than Fei Yu, and will reach her birthday this year, and she is much more stable.

"Qizhi, how is Lingtang's body recovering?"

"My mother has woken up and is recovering well, but it is not easy to walk, and she will take care of her for a few days."

"That's good. I finally don't have to worry." Fang Xiuyi asked Gu Qifang again, "Is Qifang okay?"

"My sister also has some small wounds, and she is recovering very well. She has been running back and forth between Qi Mansion and Gu Mansion these days."

"Please also say hello to Qi Fang for me."

"I will, and thank Mrs. He on behalf of my mother and sister."

"It's good that everyone is free. Feiyu, let's take Qizhi to play."

"Yes, mother."

Fang Xiu looked at the backs of the two little girls, graceful and graceful, and felt even more emotional.

Within two days, Fang Xiuyi was preoccupied with a major event, and almost couldn't even think about it.

August is autumn time, and Siyuan is going to take the provincial examination.The township examination lasts nine days, but you have to enter the examination room one day in advance, and you can only come out after the examination is over.If you are not allowed to come out, you have to eat and drink in the examination room, how hard it is!
"My lord, does everyone have to do this?" Fang Xiuyi asked He Huai'an worriedly.

"Yes." He Huai'an teased Sizhuo, "Don't worry, the weather is fine now, Siyuan is usually diligent in exercising, and the time is not a problem these few days."

"Siyuan is so young, and he has to spend nine days like that. Thinking about it, it's really tormenting!" Fang Xiuyi had already started to feel anxious in advance.

"Relax, otherwise Siyuan won't bear it."

"I know, I know, but I just can't help it." Fang Xiuyi paced back and forth in the room a little restlessly.

While talking, Siyuan came over.

"Mother, father!"

Just as Siyuan greeted his parents, Sizhuo pounced on him, and he hugged Sizhuo, "Sizhuo, are you going to behave today?"

"Yes, yes!" Si Zhuo already knows how to call brother, but the pronunciation is not clear.He put his arms around Si Zhuo's neck and kissed him a few times, Fang Xiuyi usually did this, and he saw it, although Si Yuan never kissed him.

"Come on, Sizhuo, Daddy will take you to see my sister!" He Huai'an wanted Fang Xiuyi and Siyuan to talk alone, otherwise no one would be able to change Fang Xiuyi's anxiety.

"Sister, sister!" As soon as Si Zhuo heard about her sister, she immediately let go of Si Yuan and fell into He Huai'an's arms.

After He Huai'an left with Si Zhuo, Fang Xiu looked at Si Yuan and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Mother, is the injury on your palm healed?"

"It's almost better, I can hold things now." Fang Xiu showed Siyuan her palm.

After the scars on the palm of the hand fell off, there were traces of flesh pink, which were wrinkled and unattractive.

"Don't worry, the place in the palm of my hand is invisible to others, and it doesn't affect my daily activities." Fang Xiuyi saw the concern in Siyuan's eyes.

"I know, mother."

Siyuan knelt on the ground and rested her head on Fang Xiuyi's knee. Fang Xiuyi stroked Siyuan's hair.

"Inadvertently, you have grown up so much!" Fang Xiuyi can still remember the children's appearance when they were young, but unfortunately there are no photos, "No matter how old you are, you can still think of the feeling of you being held in my arms, as if it was yesterday. "

"No matter how old we grow, we are all your children."

"Yeah, always!"

"Mom, I'm going to take the provincial examination next month, are you worried about me again?"

"I don't need to worry about the exam. Who hasn't passed the exam in their whole life?" Fang Xiuyi thought of the exams he had gone through, from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many times, "It's just that you have to stay there for nine days, so broken Place! How to sleep? How to eat?"

"Have you ever seen the examination room? How do you know it's broken?" Siyuan raised his head and looked at Fang Xiuyi.

Of course Fang Xiuyi had never been there, she had only seen photos of the late Qing Dynasty on the Internet, such a narrow place, just looking at it felt aggrieved, let alone eating and living there.

"Of course I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it."

"Mother, don't worry, when the time comes, you can put on a few more clothes for me, and I won't be cold anymore. Besides, I've been training for such a long time, and my body is already very strong, so the environment of the examination room doesn't have much impact on me."

Fang Xiu touched Siyuan's face. After long-term outdoor training, her skin color has completely lost its original white color and turned into a wheat color. Long-term exposure to wind and sun has made her skin rough, but her overall mental state is good. Especially those eyes, sparkling, seem to attract people.

"Okay, I don't worry anymore, you concentrate on the exam, and I'll make you some more clothes!"

When Siyuan heard that Fang Xiuyi was busy making clothes for him again, she finally felt relieved. Keeping Fang Xiuyi busy was better than worrying about him all day long.

Fang Xiuyi immediately returned to the daily routine of making clothes, and even brought Chang Ning to do it together.August is autumn. Although it is not too cold, it is necessary to take precautions.The two of them simply sewed a quilted outer robe, which was long enough to cover Siyuan's feet.Another pair of quilted trousers was sewn, just to worry about Siyuan being cold.

After being dressed up by Fang Xiuyi and Chang Ning, when Siyuan entered the examination room on the eighth day of August, she was dressed like a bear in a long coat and cotton trousers.

"Hahahaha..." Fei Yu laughed without hesitation, "My brother's dress is probably unprecedented, look at this dress!"

Siyuan is also very helpless, he is already sweating profusely with his clothes like this.

"Siyuan, are you hot?" Fang Xiuyi saw the sweat on his face, "But it doesn't matter, you have to wear these clothes, if it's hot inside, you can take them off, the clothes inside are double-layered, so you can't wear them during the day. Neither hot nor cold."

"I see, mother."

The whole family, including Changning, sent Siyuan to the examination room.Fang Xiu saw from the car window that there were candidates and their parents outside. It was already midnight, and she couldn't see the faces clearly, so she could only hear the voices from outside.

"Mother, thanks to the thick clothes you and my aunt made for me, it's very cold in the middle of the night." Siyuan said with a smile, wearing a long robe and coat, carrying a basket.

Under the dim light of the lantern, Fang Xiuyi's eyes filled with tears from Siyuan's smile.

"Mother, don't worry, I promise I will come out in good health!"

"Well, go in quickly, lest those good places are taken up by others." Although Fang Xiuyi was worried, she still urged Siyuan to go in and take a seat.

"Okay, mother, father, aunt, Fei Yu, I'll go in."

"Take care of yourself!" He Huaian patted Siyuan on the shoulder.

"Brother..." Fei Yu called out, but didn't say anything else.

"I see, father! Fei Yu, take good care of mother and father for me."

As soon as Fang Xiu watched Siyuan gradually disappear into the darkness, his heart arose again.
