The cell was dark, and Li Qingyou heard the other party's voice seem a bit familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while, so he looked carefully at it in the moonlight.

At this time, the other party opened his hood, revealing a face that looked like white jade.

"Are you..." Li Qingyou looked familiar to the other person, but for a moment he didn't think much about it. Suddenly a figure passed by in his mind, and Li Qingyou suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Are you a weakling?"

The scholar in front of him was Feng Wenru, who went to Qingshan County to look for his uncle a few years ago. Unexpectedly, he would meet him here, and Li Qingyou suddenly felt a little excited.

"Yes, the girl recognizes me." Feng Wenru's eyes suddenly softened, and his eyes were looking at Li Qingyou for a moment, as if there was a vague undercurrent surging.

"It's a coincidence, no, it's an accident. Are we meeting an old friend in a foreign land?" Li Qingyou said happily, "This is all a mess."

However, being able to meet an old acquaintance in a dark cell thousands of miles away made her feel relieved after having been depressed for a long time, and she suddenly realized why he was here.

"I was rescued by a girl that day. Fortunately, I passed the imperial examination at the first grade of my career. Now I am working in the sixth-grade imperial study." Feng Wenru briefly explained the reason why he appeared here.

If you pass the imperial examination at your first grade, you will be the number one scholar?

Li Qingyou couldn't help but sigh, thinking that at the beginning he couldn't even eat and almost starved to death in front of his house. Now he has become the number one scholar. It's really unpredictable in the world.

Feng Wenru lowered his voice and said quickly: "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The girl can save her life according to what I said..."

The next day, Li Qingyou, who had been dried as pickles for several days, was brought to the lobby of the Ministry of Punishments. After being told what Feng Wenru had taught him, he was escorted back to the prison. After another half a month, Li Qingyou was released.

When he walked out of the gate of the Criminal Department, the dazzling sunlight suddenly shone down. Li Qingyou raised his hand to block his eyes, and then he heard someone say in front of him: "Congratulations to the girl for seeing the light of day again. I'm so polite."

This is Feng Wenru.

He is different today than when he visited the jail of the Ministry of Punishment at night. He looks even more handsome and handsome in his official uniform. He was originally born well, but now after several years of officialdom, his whole person has a calmer aura.

Li Qingyou gave a manly salute out of habit, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for saving your life. Li Qingyou is deeply grateful. I will definitely tie a grass ring in the future to repay the grace of saving my life today."

The smile on Feng Wenru's face faded slightly, and he looked at Li Qingyou with a heavy gaze. He wanted to say something and then looked around. Then he pointed to the soft sedan behind him, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."

go back?

Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be referring to his home.

This is inconvenient, but she is now penniless and has nowhere to go. She had carried all the banknotes with her before, and those banknotes had been confiscated long ago after she was arrested, so she is now poor.

My pocket is cleaner than my face.

After thanking him again, Li Qingyou got into the sedan chair and walked through the streets and alleys until he came to a secluded courtyard.

"This is..." Li Qingyou looked over with confusion in her eyes. She thought this was Feng Wenru's home. After all, Feng Wenru had given her the impression that she was poor and could not even afford food.

Although he is in high school now, he is only a sixth-rank official. In the capital, where a brick can be smashed into a third-rank official, it is basically nothing.

Walking in the imperial study room, one can be regarded as a close minister of the emperor, which sounds impressive, but in fact he has no real power, and there is no place to make money.

But the facts once again exceeded Li Qingyou's imagination. This was not the Feng family. Feng Wenru brought her in and only said that she would live here temporarily.

The yard is not big, and as soon as you enter, you can see the house through the gate.

But it's very neat, with blue brick paving inside, two pines and cypresses and a few clusters of flowers that Li Qingyou can't name are planted in the corner, and there's an old servant who cleans the yard named Uncle Fei.

There are three rooms in the house, the study is on the left, the bedroom is on the right, the kitchen is at the back, and there is also a side room where Uncle Fei lives.

"There is a clean room at the back with a bathroom attached. Hot water has been prepared. You can freshen up first and then come over for dinner. Then we can talk slowly." Feng Wenru made the arrangements and asked someone to bring a light pink suit

The dress was delivered.

Li Qingyou had not even taken a shower since she was caught in the summer. She had barely washed her face and knew that she smelled bad even without smelling it. Although it was a bit strange for her to take a shower and leave Feng Wenru waiting outside, she didn't say much.

I thanked him, took my things, and went to the back.

The so-called clean room is a room with a clean room on the left, separated by a screen in the middle, and a large wooden bucket filled with hot water.

Li Qingyou doesn't have any mysophobia, but she loves to be clean at ordinary times. She soaked her whole body in the hot water and couldn't help but sigh.

She never expected that today would happen. She thought that this would be the end of her life.

Considering that Feng Wenru was still waiting outside, Li Qingyou didn't wash herself for too long. She just washed herself, changed her clothes and came out from behind.

In the past few years, she had become accustomed to wearing men's clothes. Even the outfit she had just changed out of was men's clothes. But suddenly she felt awkward wearing women's clothes, and she couldn't walk very well.

However, the material of the clothes and dresses on her body is not bad, they are all high-quality Hangzhou silk.

Feng Wenru had been waiting in the study for a long time, flipping through a book casually, when he heard the door knock and raised his head, he was stunned for a moment.

The girl in pink clothes in front of her was slender and frail, with no makeup on her plain little face. It was probably due to the imprisonment in the past few months that her face was slightly pale, but it made her look even more delicate.

Between his eyebrows and eyes, he could vaguely see what he looked like back then, which was exactly the same as in his memory. He was a little less immature and a little more shy like a girl, as delicate and weak as a begonia in the wind.

However, as the girl clasped her fists and raised her hands smoothly, the frail crabapple turned into a tough green bamboo. She was shy but a little free and easy. There was only indifference in her eyes but no sorrow. Her slight smile was like a soft wind that suddenly hit Feng Wenru.

heart.

"Master Feng?" Li Qingyou looked at Feng Wenru's stunned eyes suspiciously, and when he came back to his senses, he handed over his hand again, "Daughter of the people, thank you, Master Feng, for saving me. If there is a chance in the future..."

She said with a wry smile. She was now penniless and had to rely on others to have a place to stay. She said that she was overestimating her ability to repay her.

"In short, I will never forget Lord Feng's great kindness." Li Qingyou said.

Feng Wenru had returned to normal, and frowned slightly when he heard this, "Girl, there is no need to be so polite. There is no need for honorifics between you and me. You might as well call me by my name, which sounds more comfortable."
