Zhu Yanli liked Shi Chu's Baihua Brew very much and drank one cup after another without realizing it. When Shi Chu realized it, his face was already red and his eyes were blurred. It was obvious at first glance that he was very drunk.
His behavior after being drunk is very similar to his usual behavior. He is quiet, with a smile on his lips, and has a very good temper. He will not make a fuss like other drunk people, or behave in a way that he usually does not do. Dare to do something bold.
"Zhu Yanli, are you drunk?" Shichu looked at the little scholar dumbfounded. This guy drank so much without saying a word, but he still sat upright. If you didn't pay special attention to him, you wouldn't have noticed that he was already drunk. drunk.
"Du...Ms. Du...good wine..." When the little scholar heard Shichu calling his name, he immediately gave her a silly smile, and did not forget to pass the wine glass in his hand to Shichu.
Shi Chu took away his wine glass and said, "I know it's good wine, but you shouldn't drink too much. Did you forget that you have to go to the academy tomorrow?"
"Going to the academy? Yes, going to the academy..." He only heard the last two words of Shichu, then stood up unsteadily, and then staggered out again, as if he really wanted to go to the academy.
At this time, I was really sure that he was drunk. What kind of academy were he going to in the middle of the night?
There was no way, people only get drunk after drinking their own wine, so Shichu had no choice but to help the drunk cat back to his own house next door.
Zhu Yanli had been to his home many times at the beginning and was familiar with his bedroom. Now he helped him back to the room, put him down on the bed, took off his shoes and coat, and carried him A basin of water to wash his face and wipe his hands.
Zhu Yanli was like a breathing puppet, obediently letting Shi Chu play with him. When Shi Chu asked him to raise his hand, he raised his hand; when Shi Chu asked him to close his eyes, he closed his eyes...
"Little scholar, you must have been a very well-behaved and sensible child when you were a child." Shi Chu couldn't help but sigh, he looked like a well-behaved baby. He must have been a very obedient and lovable child when he was a child, right?
It's a pity that he has lost his father since he was born and can only depend on his mother. Even if his mother wants to love him more, she can't do anything because she can only owe her children to find a way to make a living.
At the beginning, it was as if I could see through time and space a well-behaved, white and tender child of two or three years old, sitting quietly on a small stool, staring intently at his mother lowering her head to do embroidery work.
"Hey, what a pathetic little guy." Shichu couldn't help but pinch his face.
"Mom?" Zhu Yanli suddenly said the word, still holding Shi Chu's hand that was holding Ta Lian's, and looking at Shi Chu with wet eyes, as if an ignorant child was calling his mother, so in love.

Shi Chu's heart couldn't help but soften a little, and she didn't refute him saying that she was not his biological mother, so Zhu Yanli called her "Mother" again, grabbed Shi Chu's hand and gently pressed it against his face. , "Mom, I miss you so much..."
It turned out that I missed my mother. When I first saw him like this, I felt even more pitiful for him. He was not yet twenty years old. In later generations, boys of this age who have just entered college will still be treated as children by their parents, with the utmost care. However, Zhu Yanli has lost both his parents and is helpless. He has experienced the ups and downs of life and can only rely on his own efforts to build a future.
"Go to sleep, mother is here to watch you." Shichu pretended to be the little poor mother, and when the little poor mother heard her gentle voice, she quickly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
Shichu waited for him to fall asleep, and stayed with him by the bedside for a while to make sure that he would not vomit due to drunkenness, then left and returned to his home.
Zhu Yanli didn't seem to know that he mistakenly thought Shi Chu was his mother after he was drunk. When he sobered up the next day, he thanked Shi Chu too much for the delicious wine and her patience in taking care of the drunk last night. Own.
At first, he waved his hand to him indifferently, saying that it was just a matter of effort.
As time passed, the fourth prince's secret gold mine was clearly investigated, and he and his men were even implicated in other crimes.
As the confidant of the fourth prince, Zhang Qishan naturally could not avoid colluding with him, so it was no surprise that after the fourth prince was demoted to common people and detained for life, Zhang Qishan's family was also confiscated and exiled for three thousand miles. This was already seen. The sentence was light because they had contributed to the imperial court's efforts to stabilize the Hou Mansion. Otherwise, Zhang Qishan would have been beheaded just because he dared to interfere in the prince's struggle and scheme against the emperor's other sons.
It's just that the current emperor is not a murderous tyrant. The incident between the fourth prince and Zhang Qishan happened relatively early, before they had time to do too many or too serious things, so the emperor decided to spare the lives of the Zhang family.
It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. It is impossible for the Zhang family to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital. The emperor just wants them to go to the remote countryside to fend for themselves and use their last life to repent for their crimes. sin.
Gui Yunlai was dragged out of the prison by the jailer in a daze. She had been in prison for more than a month. Now, when she saw the too bright light, her eyes stung, and she couldn't help but squint.
A month ago, she never expected that her dignified and peaceful concubine would be reduced to a miserable prisoner. Oh, she was no longer the concubine. She was now a guilty woman returning to the family, and she would be imprisoned along with her husband and in-laws. Exiled to a place three thousand miles away...
Gui Yunlai is not a woman without any knowledge. On the contrary, compared to the current wives who stay at home, she understands the world very well, knows what the crime of being exiled is, and how difficult and difficult it will be on the road. When she gets to the place of exile, How many nightmare-like difficulties will be waiting for her.
It was precisely because of this knowledge that she could not accept that she had fallen to this point. In the past month, she had questioned Zhang Qishan in prison. She knew that he was the culprit who caused the family to become a prisoner. Suddenly, everything that had ever happened between husband and wife It was as if the tenderness and sweetness had never existed. Gui Yunlai was deeply resentful of Zhang Qishan and could not help but say many vicious and hateful words to him.
Gui Yunlai actually knew that she shouldn't do that. She still maintained her past behavior, sharing the joys and sorrows with her husband, and waiting for him to make a comeback in the future...
However, having her home confiscated, being exiled, and going from being a proud girl to a criminal despised by everyone, no matter how scheming Gui Yunlai was, the blow was too great and she couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but look for him. The culprit takes it out on himself.
But Zhang Qishan still loved her. Although he was so hated by his beloved wife, he did not blame his wife. Instead, he blamed himself for not doing a good enough job and hurting the whole family.
