As soon as the morning dawned, Uncle Zhong got up and opened the door to walk in the yard, since he stayed in Lingyi to take care of Wanji, he knew the weight of the burden on his shoulders, so he was extra worried, getting up early and going to bed late every day, and thinking about the hearts that the guys couldn't, running such a big shop really requires dedication. He also developed the habit of strolling around early in the morning and moving his muscles and bones.

Unexpectedly, when I went out, I saw a pretty pale pink figure standing under an osmanthus tree.

In late autumn, the osmanthus flowers have also begun to wither, and other trees have long since changed color and fallen leaves, and the autumn scenery is bleak, even revealing the cold of early winter.

The woman had a simple bun and was dressed plainly, a homely pale pink gown, but she couldn't hide a natural delicate style.

Old Uncle Zhong saluted respectfully: "Little grandma got up early?"

The dumb aunt turned around, biting a piece of osmanthus petal at the corner of her mouth, "Old Uncle Zhong, we are leaving, early in the morning." ”

Lao Zhong was surprised: "In such a hurry, at least you have to eat a good meal before leaving." ”

The dumb aunt shook her head: "The war is getting tighter and tighter, it's too far apart, I don't know what happened to Lingzhou, maybe the master is looking forward to Brother Wan'er going back." I don't think we can afford to delay for a moment. ”

Lao Zhong nodded, and the little grandmother made a lot of sense.

But they're gone, what am I going to do? Am I still here?

He also has a family to be reunited.

But Lao Zhong felt that he couldn't say this, as a servant who was hired all the year round, he worked in the Liu family for most of his life, and sometimes even felt that his life belonged to the master's family.

The dumb aunt saw the hesitation that flashed on Old Uncle Zhong's face for a moment, and she suddenly ordered, "Let's go first." You hand over the matter at hand to the fish king, and he will work hard for all the mess here in the future. Then you hurry up and chase us. ”

"Can the old slave go back?" Old Uncle Zhong was deeply surprised.

The dumb aunt nodded, "And the two eldest brothers of the coachman who stayed at the beginning, ask their opinions, and go back together if you want to go back, after all, everyone has a home, and everyone is looking forward to reuniting with their relatives, so give them more wages." Big Brother Fish King is a local, so it's only fitting that he is in charge of this place. ”

The old Zhong couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, his old hands trembled, and he wanted to thank her for the little woman, but he felt that the gap between the old and the young was too great, and a white-haired old man suddenly gave a red-faced girl a trick, which would scare the little grandmother, so he endured the excitement and turned around and hurriedly went to explain the aftermath.

Liu Wan was still going to sleep, but after Qian'er urged him a few times, he couldn't afford it, and the dumb aunt suddenly lifted the quilt and lifted a broom in her hand, which was actually a posture of spanking.

Frightened, Liu Wan jumped up and protected his crotch with two hands, shouting: "Murder your husband - the stinky woman is going to murder her husband!"

Bai Ziqi looked at this scene with a smile at the door.

Liu Wan was immediately embarrassed, hurriedly put clothes on his body, and said, "Starting tomorrow night, I will sleep with Cousin Bai and sleep in the same room with you little women, which will damage my masculine image." ”

Qian'er was worried: "What should I do if you keep kicking the quilt in the middle of the night and your stomach is cold?"

The dumb aunt looked at the account book brought by Uncle Zhong on the table, and looked up and smiled: "There is also a matter of getting up at night, no one calls you to get up in the middle of the night, but I am afraid that I will draw a map all over the bed again." ”

Liu Wan was so angry that he glared: "Communicate with you ladies - go, cousin, let's go eat white jade bones." ”

The dumb aunt shouted: "There is a steamed bun shop at the door, hot steamed buns, millet porridge, hurry up to eat and drink, feed our stomachs, and we will go on the road immediately." ”

Uncle Zhong at the door responded: "Grandma, the dried glue fish you want is wrapped." ”

"Put it in the car. The dumb aunt replied.

Liu Wan knew that there was no hope of eating white jade bones, but when he heard the glue fish, he was excited: "What are you doing with dried glue fish? That's a good thing to make white jade bones." ”

Dumb aunt: "Go back to Lingzhou Mansion to make you white jade bones—I've already learned how to do it." ”

Liu Wan stuck out his tongue to Bai Ziqi, "It's better to be a daughter-in-law, I love her husband so much!Hey, big cousin, you should also find one quickly, you don't know that a man should have a good daughter-in-law by his side——"

"Stop, I'm not your good daughter-in-law! If I brag about it again, I'm really going to have a broom pimple!" the dumb aunt interrupted coldly.

Liu Wan jumped to the door and shouted: "Stinky woman, knife mouth tofu heart-"

Several people ate in a hurry, the carriage had already been put on, and Uncle Zhong personally lifted the curtain for the dumb aunt, "Little grandma, don't you really wait, the words have been taken, he should arrive immediately." ”

The dumb aunt looked resolute and shook her head: "No, go back and tell him, I greet him and his daughter-in-law, and I greet the villagers of Nuanhe." Tell him to do a good job, this business has been open in the future, he is seven, we are three, he only needs to send someone to Lingzhou Mansion in a year and a half, give us dividends, and also bring some dry glue fish. ”

Chang'an watched this scene quietly, she had developed a deep attachment to the dumb aunt, and had been by her side, this time passing by Lingyi, not far from the warm river, she didn't make a fuss about going back to meet her parents.

The dumb aunt took Chang'an's hand: "I also asked him to bring a message to Chang'an's parents, the child is very good with me, and I will have the opportunity to meet again in the future." ”

A few people got into the car, no longer nostalgic, and left on horseback.

"Really don't eat a meal of white jade bones anymore?stinky woman is really poisonous, knowing that I will be good for this bite!" Liu Wan looked at the Lingyi street that was gradually moving away, and pouted and complained.

Bai Ziqi was riding a horse in front, and he had already seen too much of the scene of Liu Wan making trouble in a pile of several little women, and he was not interested in getting involved.

Just as the carriage turned out of Lingyi Avenue and stepped onto the road to Lingzhou, a horse hurried over, "Childe-wait-"

Immediately, a young man in white shouted, running and shouting, rolling up a puff of dust.

"Little Jiuzi!" Bai Ziqi was surprised.

"Didn't I send you back to help take care of grandpa? Why are you here again?

Xiao Jiuzi turned over and dismounted, knelt in the dust, and cried: "It's not good--Master Hei Crane cut off his arm from the imperial court--offended Liu Juma! This time it is estimated that the trouble is big! The old lady was very annoyed by this, and quarreled with Grandpa Hei Crane for a few words, and Grandpa Hei Crane was so angry that he took Xiao Lingzi and left without saying goodbye. Now everyone is saying that the Bai family is going to be in trouble. The old man is in a hurry, but the old lady still looks like he doesn't move, he sits at home every day, and he doesn't see him sending people around to ask for help and find a way - the villain is worried that if it goes on like this, the Bai family will really suffer!"

The dumb aunt and the others also got out of the carriage and came around.

Liu Wan first exclaimed: "Cut off the arm of the court official? Grandpa Bai is so bold!"

Bai Ziqi helped Xiao Jiuzi up, "Did grandpa tell me to go back?"

Xiao Jiuzi shook his head: "No, the old lady is very strange, and asked me to tell you not to go back, but to go away, the farther the better, don't go back to the Bai family in the past few years." Let you find a place to live in seclusion, stay incognito, marry a wife and have children, and have as many children as you can, the more the better. This is the silver for you. ”

Xiao Jiuzi said and handed over an oiled paper bag, Bai Ziqi unfolded it, and there was a thick roll of silver tickets inside.

Liu Wan stuck out his tongue and exclaimed: "My obedient man, so much money?! Enough for my cousin to marry a hundred wives, all of them are like flowers! Raise hundreds of babies, all of them are fat and fat! And then the family will lie down and eat for the rest of their lives. ”

No one paid attention to Liu Wan's poor mouth.

Bai Ziqi looks at the dumb aunt, and the dumb aunt also looks at Bai Ziqi.

"It doesn't look good. The dumb aunt said first.

Bai Ziqi nodded: "I know the old man, he is quite brainy and far-sighted." Unless there is a real crisis, such words will not be sent to me. This is clearly to tell me to leave my hometown to avoid the catastrophe - wait for things to calm down, and then continue the blood of the Bai family. ”

The dumb aunt suddenly laughed: "Then you have a long way to go, a hundred wives who are like flowers and jade, and hundreds of children - enough to form a reinforcement company." ”

Bai Ziqi smiled bitterly: "At this time, do you still have the heart to joke?"

The dumb aunt shrugged: "Take it easy, maybe it's not so serious - it's just that the old man has been through the storm and is just prepared for a rainy day." Why don't you go back and see for yourself, after all, you are the eldest grandson of someone else. The ancients valued this the most. ”

Bai Ziqi nodded: "Makes sense." In any case, being someone else's grandson and enjoying other people's resources, people are really in danger, so we can't stay out of it. But what are you going to do here? I originally planned to escort you to Lingzhou Mansion and make proper arrangements before returning home. ”

The dumb aunt suddenly raised her hand, patted Bai Ziqi's shoulder, and smiled: "Go, we have these right-hand men hired by Uncle Zhong, and Uncle Zhong will soon follow." When I get to Liufu, I'll adapt to everything. I am no longer the little child daughter-in-law who has just come to life, but a person who has experienced wind and rain, so you can go with confidence. ”

Bai Ziqi stood stunned for a while, "Then I'll go and see what is going on first, and then go to Lingzhou Mansion to find you again." Take care of yourself along the way. ”

The dumb aunt turned her head and got into the carriage, "Let's go, you can take care of yourself." ”

The cart and the horse went their separate ways, heading in different directions.

Liu Wan watched Cousin Bai's white horse disappear before he breathed a sigh and sighed: "I must be a good man like Cousin Bai when I grow up, be good to women, good to my family, good to my relatives, and responsible, I can eat and sleep, and most importantly, I can seduce other people's women casually." ”

Qian'er covered her mouth and smiled: "My living ancestor, which eye did you see that someone seduced other people's women?"

Liu Wan said dumbly: "There is only one ready-made, you see, the soul is gone-I can't wait to follow you to the little enemy-" He ended up learning the lyrics in the old opera.

But the dumb aunt seemed to really have no soul, and kept leaning against the window, looking into the distance, and her eyes gradually emptied. That person is really gone, and he has a long way to go, and he doesn't know if it's good or bad.

"A lover will eventually become a family-" Liu Wan suddenly propped up his neck and said: "When I go home, I will announce to my lord that I have divorced the stinky mother-in-law, she is not virtuous, she is not considerate, she can't cook, she can't sew clothes--what's not going to happen? Anyway, I don't like her, I've already written a letter to release her wife, and who she wants to marry in the future is her freedom, and it has nothing to do with our Liufu." A vicious mother-in-law like this, it's better to marry Cousin Bai, and go and make that family so bad that you can't laugh or cry!"

The dumb aunt silently groped Liu Wan's chin with one hand, pinched it, and sighed, "You kid, it seems that you have grown up all of a sudden—"

Liu Wan rolled his eyes: "Everyone has worked so hard, and you still say that people are children? When will you really grow up in your eyes!"

In the "Wanji" store, Uncle Zhong had just finished his fine and soft clothes, and a tall and sturdy figure hurriedly stepped into the door: "She's here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Old Uncle Zhong shook his head slowly: "Let's go—it's estimated that I'm already out of the Lingyi Realm at this time." ”

The king of fish stomped his feet: "Why don't you say goodbye?"

Lao Zhong was still slow: "I don't want to see it, naturally there is a reason not to want to see it, I also suggested that she wait, but I really don't want to see it." I also advise you, although the flowers are good, they bloom in other people's gardens - people who have no fate can only enjoy a few glances from afar, and if they really try to climb, in the end it is not good for anyone. ”

The fish king was stunned after hearing this, but he immediately turned around and ran, hurriedly rushed out of Wanji, and ran wildly in the direction of Lingzhou.

When I ran out of the streets of Lingyi, I stood on the official road and looked into the distance, the road ahead was long, and the dust was bursting, except for the cars and horses that came and went, and the refugees who occasionally came out, where was the touching and delicate figure.

He stamped his feet hard and shouted, "How can you do this to me?

No one answered him.

Only the wind blows in the ears.

There were tears in the tall man's eyes, and he stood on the side of the road until his legs were sore, and then he turned to leave.
