It was time for the imperial examination to be in full swing. The capital had just snowed the day before yesterday. The yellow leaves in the area south of the Tianzhao River were falling, just like the hearts of the closest candidates who were far away in their hometown.

From Huaiyang to late autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening has increased significantly. The sun is as warm as spring during the day, but I feel a little cold in the morning and evening.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Kun. It's so invisible and intangible. It's really annoying."

In the second house, Wang was nestled on the kang and covered with a quilt. It was time to miss his son every day.

Nie Yuanshan has long been used to it. Since Brother Kun went to take the exam, his wife will be like this every day at this time.

Ling'er said this is a mother who is worried about her, and she will be like this when she is a mother.

He also asked Nie Dahai quietly, and when he learned that his sister-in-law was the same, he felt relieved.

"Stop thinking about it, Brother Kun is not a child anymore, and Brother Hui is by your side, so nothing will happen." Nie Yuanshan sat on the table along the kang, eating peanuts and drinking small roast,

It's free.

Seeing him being so casual and perfunctory, Wang couldn't help but look tight and asked, "Are you not worried at all if your son goes thousands of miles away to take the exam?"

"What's the use of worrying?" Nie Yuanshan smiled: "Besides, it's not the girl's house. Brother Kun is a man, so he has to rely on himself when he is out."

"Besides, he went to the imperial examination, and he didn't go out to wander around and work hard. You women are used to random thoughts."

It’s not that Nie Yuanshan doesn’t care about his son, he is naturally worried about it, but he doesn’t bother himself like Wang.

It is a man who is supposed to go out and he is the father who needs to support him. If Qian'er is replaced, he may be a little worried.

Wang sighed, looked at the moon in the night through the window, and his mind became even more melancholy.

The next day, the rebellion in southern Xinjiang was quelled, and the good news of the victory of the Dazhao army finally reached Huaiyang. The magistrates and pavilions of various local counties ordered people to whip at the gates of major city gates, and Qin Jue passed through Yang hundreds of steps to take the head of the enemy's commander.

It has been praised into a good story.

"In this way, will General Qin be back soon?"

In the shop, Nie Ling'er and his friends were extremely excited to learn about the news and got together to discuss it.

"I should go back to the capital and report to you first, and I will come back after the emperor rewards merits." Nie Yong guessed.

Tong Yueru said: "The victory of this battle is crucial to our Dazhao. Lanyingzi has been disturbing people's livelihood in southern Xinjiang for many years, and now it is finally peaceful. General Qin has made his first contribution and will definitely be promoted."

When it comes to Qin Jue, everyone is naturally worshipped. Even Nie Ling'er has been infected now. She can even imagine Qin Jue's majesty in armor on the battlefield.

I haven't seen each other for half a year since I left, but I often have letters, so Nie Ling'er is quite happy about the reunion of his old friends for Qin Jue's return.

And just then, the grasshopper suddenly looked towards the door of the shop, frowned, and said, "Dog, what's wrong with you?"

Nie Ling'er and his friends turned around after hearing this, and then they were stunned.

I saw that the dog who had just returned from outside was covered in mud, with two bruises on his face, and even blood on the corners of his mouth.

Nie Ling'er was shocked: "What's going on? Dog, are you fighting with someone?"

Several people quickly surrounded him, but Gouzi just shook his head dejectedly: "I'm fine, sister, I'm... I have some conflicts with others."

I don't seem to know what to say, Gouzi's answer is ambiguous.

But Nie Ling'er was even more puzzled. She asked Gouzi to send some things to Hou Yulang. Besides, everyone in Hou recognized Gouzi, so she would definitely not hit him.

On weekdays, dogs and grasshoppers always act as clients to greet customers. They usually don’t leave the shop for a long time, and they never had any arguments with customers. Why did they feel so embarrassed when they come back and are covered in bruises!

"What the hell is going on, please tell me clearly!" Nie Ling'er's face became serious and stared at the dog.

She couldn't sit idly by the way she was so hurt. Dogzi was very clever on weekdays. Although his personality was naughty, he was not a person who could cause trouble.

So Nie Ling'er thinks she must ask clearly.

The dog lowered his head and glanced left and right with nervous eyes. Perhaps he couldn't stand the few people staring at him directly. Finally, he muttered in a low voice: "It's a few beggars in the town."

Beggar?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Why was this beggar beaten for no reason?

This time, before Nie Ling'er asked, Gouzi took the initiative to explain: "I don't recognize them, but they seemed to recognize me, so they gathered around to find fault."

The grasshopper on the side heard this and looked at Nie Ling'er and said, "Sister, when we were still begging in the town, we had a lot of contact with other beggars. But later we were taken in by you and changed our appearance, so we didn't attract their attention.

.”

"Maybe it was because the dog met someone he had seen him today, so he recognized him."

Nie Ling'er frowned deeper and looked at the dog and asked, "I recognize it when I recognize it. Why did they hit you?"

"How come there is no reason for this?" Gouzi chuckled helplessly: "Just because I live better than them now, it is enough to be a reason."

As he said that, the dog looked up at Nie Ling'er and said, "Sister, I'm fine, let's forget about this. Those beggars were unreasonable. They asked me where I was making a living now, but I didn't say a word.

I went around a lot of circles outside before coming back, I was afraid of causing trouble for the shop.”

"It's this time, you're still afraid of trouble." Nie Ling'er sighed: "They beat people for no reason, so they should be arrested and sent to the head of the pavilion to be punished!"

"Don't." The grasshopper also became anxious: "Sister, don't mess with them. Beggars are all wandering outlaws. Their barefoots are not afraid of wearing shoes. If they get involved, they will be endless trouble."<

/p>

"The grasshopper is right." Gouzi nodded and said, "They are all cliques. If they come to disturb our business, we have no choice but to do anything."

Even Nie Yong and Tong Yueru nodded: "Dog and grasshopper are right. The most unprovoked thing in this world is beggars, which are very difficult."

Hearing this, Nie Ling'er thought for a moment and finally nodded.

If you think about it carefully, you really can't be impulsive. As Grasshopper said, these people are all people living on the edge of society. It's better to do things without any consequences.

"In the future, you and the grasshopper should try not to leave a shop, and don't be seen and beaten again." Nie Ling'er looked at the two and said.

The dog and the grasshopper nodded when they heard this, and then Nie Ling'er took the dog to the backyard to apply medicine to him to remove the swelling.
