Zhou Lin waited from day to night and finally saw Su Xiaomu before the sun set. He immediately went up to meet her overjoyed.

"Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late?"

Zhou Lin asked immediately when Su Xiaomu came closer. Of course he could clearly see the tiredness on Su Xiaomu's face, and then he frowned: "You look miserable, you can't be doing hard work outside, right?"

.”

"You just went to work outside. I went to find a solution for Gu Jingcheng today, but whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will. I don't dare to give you any guarantee. I can only hope that Gu Jingcheng's life will be better, and what we can do

Yes, now we can only wait."

Su Xiaomu almost dragged her exhausted body. She had been running around outside for a day. She had to climb stairs up and down the temple. The only mountain road that could be passed by carriages was occupied by dignitaries.

As a commoner with a mediocre background, she certainly had no ability to walk on the specially carved mountain road.

"wait?"

Zhou Lin clenched his fists and was still a little unwilling: "Is there really no other way?"

"What do you think?" Su Xiaomu was so tired that he didn't even bother to roll his eyes, "I have already gone to see the first assistant's wife, and she promised to help me save Gu Jingcheng, but we still need to wait for a while, so she didn't give me a letter

Before, there was nothing we could do but wait."

Su Xiaomu didn't want to continue arguing with Zhou Lin here. She just wanted to crawl back to her bed and have a good sleep.

Since she had to wait, of course she hoped she could fall asleep and wait.

But before going to bed, Su Xiaomu still endured the surging sleepiness and wrote a letter to Master Wan in Fucheng. He also gave the waiter a lot of money for running errands, asking him to ask someone to deliver the letter as quickly as possible.

Go to Fucheng.

We still need to divide our hopes into several baskets. If something goes wrong with the First Assistant's wife, maybe Master Wan can help.

Fucheng.

Master Wan had nothing to do since Zhou Lin and Gu Jingcheng went to rush for the exam.

Wanfu has been much more lively than before due to the presence of Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin in the past half year.

The sound of their reading and asking questions every day is equivalent to the sound of nature in Wanfuzi's ears.

But now there is nothing left, only the chirping of birds and the chirping of cicadas, and the roar of his wife supervising his meal.

Master Wan missed Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin a lot, but he knew that the children were working hard for their own futures, so when he got up every day, apart from missing them, Master Wan just wanted them to get good grades in the imperial examinations.

But such thoughts disappeared instantly after receiving the letter from Su Xiaomu.

Master Wan was shocked after reading the letter, and then he took the letter without any hesitation and went to find the county magistrate.

At this time, he was very anxious. After seeing the county prince, he began to tell the county prince everything about Gu Jingcheng's experiences in the capital.

"You also know that the princess had already fallen in love with Jingcheng when she was in Fucheng, but she knew how to hide it before. Now that she has returned to her own place, she doesn't care about anything. She must be with Jingcheng.

Otherwise, Jingcheng will be destroyed and he will not be able to participate in the imperial examination."

Master Wan was so angry that he became more and more disgusted with the princess.

As for the county magistrate, he had finally received the transfer order and promotion documents from the capital today. Before he could find anyone to share his joy, Master Wan heard that Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin were in bad luck in the capital, and it was because of someone.

An unreasonable disaster caused by a woman.

"Destroying people's imperial examinations is like killing their parents. That princess doesn't know the rules and only cares about these outrageous things."

The county magistrate was so angry that he said, "I can get promoted, but all of it depends on Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingcheng has a deep status in the heart of the county magistrate. He knows that almost everything he gets now is related to Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu.

If the two of them hadn't done so much for the people in the face of catastrophic disasters and added so many political achievements to him, he wouldn't have the opportunity to be promoted as he is now.

"Don't you happen to be transferred to the capital?"

Master Wan sighed: "Perhaps in the capital, you have a way to help Jingcheng?"

"I'm just a sixth-grade official. Even if I am transferred to the capital, it will be of no use. There is a saying that does not mean that a seventh-grade official is in front of the prime minister's door. As a sixth-grade official, I am only a little better than the janitor."

The county magistrate is also worried. Most of his base is in Fucheng, so he really can't help Gu Jingcheng.

It's really because the princess's background is too powerful. How can ordinary people afford to offend such royal relatives and nobles?

If it wasn't Gu Jingcheng who was involved this time, even if he heard about it, he could only say bad luck to himself.

"They are all doing things for the imperial court. You don't have to be so arrogant. Let's think about it again and see if there are any other ways to help him. I just regret that I left the capital too early and the ways I left behind can't be used.

.”

Master Wan knew vaguely in his heart that the students who respected him before were not necessarily willing to help him now.

What's more, the person Gu Jingcheng offended was the niece of the chief minister of the dynasty, the princess who had been nurtured and nurtured.

"We must help. Now I can only write a letter to my teacher and ask him to help us operate in Beijing. I just hope that the teacher can speak well in front of the chief minister. If it doesn't work, just follow the instructions in Mrs. Su's letter.

To file a complaint like that, no matter how big the chief minister's house is, he will always have his opponent."

The county magistrate touched his beard and had already made some considerations in his mind.

"Yes, no matter what, we can't let Jingcheng stay here. He is a man with great potential and must not be swayed by the love of his children."

The two elders looked at each other, each with a new idea in mind.

Su Xiaomu didn't know about the new way out that Master Wan and the county magistrate had found for them in Fucheng. She was anxiously waiting for a letter from the First Assistant's wife, but from dusk to sunset the next day, no one said a word.

Even if he comes to tell her, the first assistant's wife is not willing to help her.

She sat alone on the first floor of the inn. Zhou Lin continued to go out to find someone to help her as before, but he couldn't find any solution, and Su Xiaomu couldn't help much.

But the two of them had quarreled several times, and Zhou Lin felt that Su Xiaomu had changed, and was very different from the Su Xiaomu who was at the Gu family in Fucheng.

She was obviously so worried about Gu Jingcheng before, even telling him to eat less or wear less clothes for a long time. How come she can completely ignore Gu Jingcheng's life and death just because of a lie?

Even if he, Zhou Lin, kept telling her that there was no time left in her ears every day, there would be no change of emotion on her dull face, as if she would just sit on the first floor in a daze.

Zhou Lin was helpless but unwilling to give up the opportunity to save Gu Jingcheng, until Su Xiaomu, who felt like he was about to sprout while sitting on the first floor, suddenly knocked on his door late one night.

"I have something to tell you."
