Chapter 50 We All Believe in You
Return home.
Nangong Jiayu brought Xu Zhengqing here.
"Ah! Young Master Xu!" Yan'er was a little surprised.
Pu Qiongzhi saw the young man in front of her, who was as tall as a pine tree and now as tall as her.
"Xu Zhengqing, greetings to Lady Wen Shu." He bowed gracefully, his voice much calmer.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that he was now more energetic and not as cautious as before, and she felt relieved. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Mr. Xu. You've grown so tall. How's your rest been these days? Are you enjoying your meals?"
"..." Xu Zhengqing didn't expect that she would ask about food, clothing, housing and transportation like her elders did. For a moment, he was a little dazed and stunned.
He originally thought that after his parents passed away, no one would care about his growth anymore.
Although he knew that his life was greatly taken care of by the other party, he never expected that the complexity and gratitude he thought he would feel towards his benefactor were easily resolved into a few greetings from an elder to a younger generation.
Nangong Jiayu pushed his arm unhappily, "My aunt is asking you a question! Speak up!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. Thanks to your efforts, the residence in the library is shaded by bamboos. The dean also takes care of our meals. Zhengqing has gained a lot of weight." He replied shyly.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded, and indeed saw that his face was more fleshy than before. "You guys go ahead. I'll have someone bring you some food and drinks later!"
"Thank you, aunt!" Nangong Jiayu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly.
Xu Zhengqing hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously, "A few days ago, I read two of Gongren's poems. Every word was exquisite, so... Zhengqing believes that poem was written by you!"
Gongren, help these people to study. Only with such a broad mind and such vision can they write such poems.
In any case, he didn't believe that Gongren would plagiarize other people's poems.
He came to the Duke of Gongning's mansion today because he was afraid that the lady would be affected by the rumors outside.
"You are really wasting your time! That poem was naturally written by my aunt! There is another one from the Pei family, how can they compare with my aunt? My aunt would never plagiarize their stinky poems!" Nangong Jiayu stomped her feet and roared.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at the young boy who was so convinced and indignant for her, and she could only laugh.
"I appreciate your kindness. I won't take what you say outside to heart. Go now!"
She knew they were worried about her and appreciated it, but the two little guys were still too young!
Only then did Xu Zhengqing and Nangong Jiayu say goodbye, looking back every few steps.
Especially Xu Zhengqing, he secretly made up his mind that he must pass the imperial examination and win face for Gongren!
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu is such a grateful person, and the young master is also kind and filial." Yan'er couldn't help but sigh and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Chun Jing, who had been silent and knew the truth, finally couldn't help but tell her...
Upon learning that his wife had indeed plagiarized, Yan'er froze in place for a long time.
Then he immediately said shamelessly, "So...so what! Anyway, Madam won the first prize!"
She stiffened her neck and acted in a guilty manner, which made Pu Qiongzhi laugh so hard that she shook with laughter.
Nangong Hua came back from outside and heard her laughter before entering their yard.
He couldn't help but stand at the door and listen for a while, reluctant to interrupt.
The corners of his lips, which had been drooping due to a busy day, were now infected and lifted.
"My husband is back?" Pu Qiongzhi noticed the figure at the door after a while and called out to him, and then he came in.
"Madam, I have fulfilled my promise to you."
He said, pulling out some thin paper from his sleeve.
Pu Qiongzhi took it and took a look, and found that it was actually the good records of Xin Long and Weng Hai!
"How did this come about?" she asked in surprise.
Nangong Hua was just about to tell her when she saw him looking exhausted...
"My husband, have you eaten yet? Let's eat first."
Nangong Hua didn't expect that she would suddenly pay attention to him at this time.
He was somewhat happy. Perhaps, in her eyes, she finally saw more than just the Pu family and money.
"I found their hometown, where someone kept the files from that year. There was also a copy of these files in Kyoto, and that was the copy I saw at the time."
"As long as we find the key evidence, we can file a new lawsuit to overturn the verdict."
"In less than a month, these new files will be submitted again."
Pu Qiongzhi thought it sounded easy to him, but she knew that it was not that easy to do.
Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to find new evidence, let alone ask someone to overturn the case and reopen it. After such a long time, recalling the details is a big challenge.
Pu Qiongzhi held his hand and said seriously, "Thank you very much."
"We are husband and wife, this is what we should do." Nangong Hua responded seriously.
He knew that his wife was used to relying on herself for everything.
He only hoped that if she got tired, she could let him handle it.
"However, this time when I went out, I found that Wanning Prefecture was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt." Nangong Hua then talked about what he saw and heard along the way.
Pu Qiongzhi listened quietly, "The people in this area are living in poverty, and most of the houses have been damaged..."
"Uncle San said not long ago that he wanted to form a team of craftsmen. If Wanning Prefecture urgently needs to be rebuilt right now, perhaps they are needed right now."
This is actually what Nangong Hua meant.
The third child likes this craft and does a good job of it.
Now that Wanning Prefecture is in need, it is the time for him to realize his ambitions.
"At critical moments, being able to contribute to the people is also a form of gentlemanly practice." Nangong Hua said.
He paused and looked at Pu Qiongzhi, "I'll have to trouble Madam to convey this matter."
"Okay." Pu Qiongzhi agreed reluctantly.
Uncle never communicates directly with his family!
He clearly has the intention, but never says it out loud.
"I've heard about the poetry meeting." Nangong Hua brought up the matter again.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at his chopsticks that hadn't moved for a long time, "Uncle, please eat first, the food is getting cold!"
"Okay." Nangong Hua then remembered that he was still hungry.
After a hearty meal, he asked, "Madam, when are you going to take out your earlier poetry collection?"
It was indeed he who arranged for people to sing the poems outside.
Bringing up old things is also for the purpose of retribution in the future.
However, I didn’t expect that the lady would take the opportunity to hold a poetry reading.
Pu Qiongzhi felt inexplicably happy when she saw that he understood her so well.
"There's no rush now. This wonderful show you've arranged has to wait until the previous performances are finished before it can begin. Only then will it really get lively!"
Tomorrow is the day of the audition, and she can’t wait!
Nangong Hua felt numb inside when he saw her secretive expression.
Her naughty look is really hard to put down!
He just needs to obey her orders.
