He is tall and big

After everything was arranged, Liu Ying immediately left for Beijing.

At this time, the solar term of heavy snow has just passed, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Ran Jiqiu sent Liu Ying away, and the academy started to go to school as usual.When Mr. Li saw him, he would inevitably have another exam. Fortunately, he didn't dare to slack off at home. He had to study and compose every day, otherwise he would definitely be punished.

Master Li stopped asking about his homework, hesitated for a while, and still couldn't help asking, "What is your relationship with that?"

Ran Jiqiu felt a little hot on his face, he paused, and thought about his words, "He and I... we, are married."

Mrs. Li opened his mouth in a daze, and after a while, "You, your family also agreed?" Earlier Tao County Magistrate said that he vaguely knew that the servant in the student's family was not simple, but he never thought that he would be a marquis.

Lord Hou—that's all right, but now I hear that the student is married to that Lord Hou?He guessed many possibilities, but he never expected this answer.

Ran Jiqiu lowered his head, stared at the green brick floor under his feet, and said softly, "I just want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"You—" Master Li wanted to reprimand him for messing around, but seeing that Ran Jiqiu kept his head down, his shoulders were straight, and his thin figure was showing stubbornness, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Although it's unethical, it's not considered to be a lack of personal morality. What you read in the examination room is the article, and it won't affect your official career." He waved his hand, and a layer of exhaustion shrouded his pale face. "You can do it yourself."

Ran Jiqiu was a little ashamed, bowed silently, and retreated by himself.

Li Yunqi was waiting for him outside, and when he saw his figure, he came up to meet him, "Uncle, can I do anything for you?"

Seeing his worried face, Ran Jiqiu couldn't help being a little amused, "Master is not a scourge, how can you make things difficult for me?"

"That's not necessarily true. It's best for him to test the homework of the juniors in his life. He will never stop until he asks people to take a layer of skin off. It's too scary." Li Yunqi had lingering fear on his face, obviously he had a painful experience.

Ran Jiqiu couldn't help laughing.With an uncle as strict as Mrs. Li, Li Yunqi has not yet passed the examination of scholar. Speaking of it, it is not known who is really troublesome.

Li Yunqi tugged at his sleeve, and asked again, "Hey, that big Liu of yours," he looked curious, "is he really Dingbeihou?"

Ran Jiqiu said "Oh", "What?"

Li Yunqi couldn't help but be speechless.Originally, he was very surprised when he learned that Liu Ying had bought a farm and house, but he didn't think that Liu Ying would hide such a frightening identity.

"Then I have to think about it carefully, have I offended him before?" Li Yunqi muttered, recalling and recalling again and again, but finally worried, "Brother Qiu, Dingbeihou is not a stingy person, is he?"

Ran Jiqiu couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted and laughed, and they parted ways when they arrived at the dormitory.

Most of the students in the academy heard some rumors vaguely, and looked at Ran Jiqiu with something wrong.Ran Jiqiu ignored those meaningful gazes and focused on reading alone.

When Liu Ying was not around, the time seemed to stretch suddenly.He reads all day long, except for this one thing, he seems to be unable to cheer up other things, and he doesn't even care much about food and use.

The most uncomfortable thing was at night, when he finished taking a bath, what greeted him was not a wide and reliable embrace, but a cold blanket, even though he was stuffed with several Tang Pozi, it still couldn't fill the vacant piece.

Obviously, he lived like this for more than ten years, but now that he is missing that person, he tosses and turns, but he can't fall asleep.

During breakfast, Wu Fu looked at the black eyes under his eyes, and asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to invite the doctor to take a look?"

Ran Jiqiu put down his chopsticks and shook his head, "That's all." It wasn't because of his poor health that he couldn't sleep well, and he also lighted soothing incense at night. Apart from prescribing some bitter medicine soup that didn't work, what else could the doctor do? ?

He asked again, "How long is the Chinese New Year?"

Wu Fu said, "Today is only the fifth day of the lunar new year, and there are still 25 days left."

Ran Jiqiu also kept counting in his heart day by day, only

But I still have to ask about the five blessings every day, as if once I ask, time will pass faster.He couldn't help but sighed, and said to himself, "Why is it still so long?"

In the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month, the academy was on holiday, so Ran Jiqiu would go to the pier in a carriage early every day to wait.

There is a restaurant next to the pier, and he sat on the second floor with the window open, not afraid of the cold wind blowing in, glanced at the book, and then glanced at the pier from a distance.Sixi, who was with him, ran more than ten times a day, and went to visit the official boat when he came back, for fear of missing the boat that Liu Ying was on.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ran Jiqiu sat on the second floor of the restaurant as usual, looking at the river from time to time.

Another official ship approached the pier from a distance.Sixi didn't wait for his order, and ran to the edge of the pier in a hurry.

Ran Jiqiu glanced at the book and stared at the pier restlessly.In the distance, Sixi suddenly turned his face, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had a premonition, he stood up abruptly, and then saw Sixi waving at him from a distance.

Boom, boom, boom.

The heartbeat was extremely loud at this moment, and the blood in his body seemed to rush up at this moment, making his head a little dizzy, and his eyes seemed to be a little dazed.

He gasped heavily.Then, the blood returned to the limbs and bones, and the stiff hands and feet brought back the long-lost vitality. He pushed the table away and ran downstairs staggeringly. On weak legs, he ran into the street.

Liu Ying is back, he's back!

A cheery voice called out in his head.It was still snowing outside, and he staggered forward against the wind and snow.

The official ship docked.From a distance, he saw a tall figure standing at the bow of the ship, jumping down impatiently, and striding towards him.

The figure was getting closer and closer.

Ran Jiqiu stopped unknowingly, staring blankly at the man striding forward, the corners of his eyes that were numb from the cold wind suddenly heated up, and a little cold water dripped out.

Afterwards, he was embraced by the man's iron arms and locked tightly into his arms. The huge force seemed to strangle him into his flesh and blood, making his muscles and bones ache a little, but he felt at ease that he had not seen for a long time.

He buried his face deeply into the man's chest, and then, Liu Ying's deep voice sounded above his head: "Master, I'm back."
