Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 454 Visiting Kang Xiucai 2
"Third uncle and third aunt, this is the courtyard where Mr. Kang lives. Let's go in!"

As the eldest brother, Lei Zi was very mature and steady at this time, and He Jiuniang recognized him in her heart.

If such a child really stays with Lotus in the future, it will be a strong alliance, and their lives will definitely get better and better.

But now is not the time to consider these things. It is true that He Jiuniang is overthinking.

"Mr. Kang! My uncle and aunt are here to visit you!"

With that said, he ran in to find Kang Xiucai. The courtyard was small, and without him having to say anything, Kang Xiucai had already met He Jiuniang and the others.

"Doctor He, Third Master of the Lu family, why are you here?"

Kang Xiucai obviously did not expect that the two of them would pay a sudden visit. He acted a little embarrassed and the smile on his face was a little forced.

He had no other intention of calling the couple separately, but he was used to calling him Doctor He before, and He Jiuniang was not only Lu Baichuan's wife, but also a very famous doctor who could do so much business. No matter what he was called, It's all she can afford.

He Jiuniang also understood that Kang Xiucai had no other intentions, so she didn't take it to heart and didn't quarrel with others like she did in the capital.

He Jiuniang said: "Mr. Kang, I'm really sorry. I didn't tell anyone in advance about this unexpected visit. We just came back last night. We heard the children said they were coming to your place today, so we thought about you coming to Fucheng for so long. We’ve never been here to visit before, so we came together, so I hope you won’t be blamed.”

Naturally, you have to be polite when talking to literati. He Jiuniang understands these principles.

Lu Baichuan also gave the gift to Kang Xiucai. Kang Xiucai took it with both hands, invited people in very embarrassedly, and said: "This humble house is so simple, it makes you both laugh."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Kang? This small courtyard is very nice, I quite like it."

As He Jiuniang spoke, she looked at the scenery in the small courtyard. Several other students who lived together also came out to greet her, and everyone nodded slightly.

Because we lived together, we occasionally heard the children mention Xi Shui Yuan. After asking around for a while and looking at the clothes of the children, we could guess their approximate identities. Then we went to Kang Xiucai to take a closer look and got a rough idea. I mean, it's natural.

At this moment, I heard Kang Xiucai call the other party the third master. It must be the third master Lu from the Huoyun Division. The brothel and gambling house were detained before, and the name Lu Sanye was well-known in Jingzhou City.

Such a rare opportunity, naturally they have to show their faces, but they are reserved scholars and cannot be too showy. They just come out to meet and greet.

Since the other party was so polite, Lu Baichuan naturally had no choice but to ignore him and bowed his hands before following Kang Xiucai into his house.

The room is quite large, but has been partitioned to save space. The inner room is a sleeping place, and the outside is a small study room that can also be used as a temporary living room.

Usually there was only Kang Xiucai and a boy, so it was quite spacious, but today when so many people came in, it instantly seemed crowded.

He Jiuniang was not uncomfortable at all. When Kang Xiucai asked the servants to make tea, they put out some snacks they had brought. They were all unique to the capital and rarely seen here in Jingzhou. He Jiuniang felt that It's cloyingly sweet, but people of this era like to eat it.

When Kang Xiucai came back, Jiezi brought the plate in front of him and said, "Sir, try it quickly. This is the hibiscus cake that my uncle and aunt brought from the capital!" Kang Xiucai was very surprised when he heard what he said. Surprised, he went over to take a look and said, "Brought from the capital? So fresh?"

It takes three days and three nights to get here from the capital. It takes eight or nine days even if you are not in a hurry, and the road is bumpy. However, these pastries are not damaged at all, and they look like they are freshly baked. It’s amazing. !
He Jiuniang snickered in her heart, of course it was new, this was only bought yesterday afternoon.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been impossible to preserve it so well, but who was she?When you buy it, you put it in the space. Time is frozen in the space. It looks the same when you go in, and it looks the same when you come out. When you take it out now, it will be exactly the same as when you first bought it!
Moreover, the time he flew back last night was shortened by more than half. It was normal for Kang Xiucai to be surprised.

"Hey, we preserve it better, Mr. Kang, try it!"

He Jiuniang opened her mouth to explain, and took out a tea cake and put it on the table, and then said: "This is the tea that the celebrities in the capital like to drink. My husband thought that he might also like it, so he brought some back."

"You two are too polite. These things are much more expensive. I'm not getting any reward for no merit, so I'd better take them back!"

Kang Xiucai was a little at a loss. Although He Jiuniang and his wife could think of him, which relieved his gloomy mood these days, he was really embarrassed to accept so many things from others. Although he was the enlightenment teacher for the children of the Lu family, But they also charge a repair fee. It's really not good to keep accepting gifts from others.

What's more, he has no school now, and he feels even more ashamed.

"My husband is the enlightenment teacher for these children in my family. I am not at home during this period, and the children often come to disturb me. It is also appropriate to bring some small gifts to my husband. If my husband does not accept them, he will despise these small things as shabby."

He Jiuniang said this deliberately, making Kang Xiucai unable to say no, so he finally accepted it.

"Well, I'm ashamed to say it. I'm happy that the children came to see me. I can't say they're bothering me. Besides, they also care about me during this period, so they come to me whenever they have free time."

Thinking of the unhappy incident, Kang Xiucai's face became a little heavy.

He Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan and motioned for him to talk about the matter, and Lu Baichuan said: "The children have told us about Mr. Kang's matter, what exactly is going on, maybe Lu can help. "

He Jiuniang then said: "Yes, sir, I have a connection with my family. If he can help us, he will definitely not refuse."

Kang Xiucai actually never thought about asking the two of them for help in this matter. After all, it had been so many days, and he had already taken the exam. As for his failure to perform well, it was his own problem. No one could blame him.

But when he heard them ask about it, Kang Xiucai was still very moved.

In fact, their relationship was just a chance meeting, but they could come to greet them as soon as they came back, which really made him feel flattered.

"I don't know the specific circumstances of this incident. I went to the exam as usual that day and passed all the tests. As a result, the examiner found a cheating note under my desk, and said that I was a cheater, and that The handwriting on the note was very similar to mine, so he accused me of cheating and immediately asked me to leave the examination room and wait in the yard."

"I read the note, and what was written on it was exactly the question I was doing. But fortunately, the answer I wrote was different from the answer on the note. I used this as an explanation, but no one believed it. They only asked me to I waited in the yard for a long time to be punished. Someone came and told me it was just a misunderstanding and asked me to go back and continue the exam."

"I wanted to ask the examiner for clarification afterwards, but after I returned I didn't perform well and was in a low mood, so I didn't care about it. Later I tried to visit the examiner, but he refused to see me even though he said nothing, so I kept putting it off until now. .”
