What does it feel like to wake up to find your home empty?

The bird's nest is not there, the bedding is neat, the room is clean and deserted, the kitchen has been full of cooking smoke in the past, and now the stove is cold, which is not right. Ah Yao's heart palpitated, she searched the inside and outside of the house, and finally found the eldest mother, grabbed her and asked, "Auntie, have you seen the bird's nest?"

"Ah, I almost forgot, the bird's nest girl said she left you a letter, and put it in your little treasure chest. The eldest lady patted her head and said.

Ah Yao ran back to the room, closed the door and went straight to the bed to open the treasure chest, which contained a letter sealed with fire paint.

She had a bad premonition, and it took her trembling hands twice to tear it open, and the words on the letter made her eyes black:

[A-Yao, when you read this letter, I had already left Nanxun. I can't get involved with you, I can't walk with you, and I won't take the initiative to contact you in the future, if there is no news from me, that's good news, and I don't want to hear from me one day when I have been executed. If the girl asks, just say it. Her property has been taken care of, you can live in this house, the eldest mother and uncle will take care of it, and the teacher of Nanxun Thatched Cottage will take care of you a little, I can rest assured; if you decide to enter Beijing, go to Nanxun Dart Bureau in ten days, I will pay you a deposit, and they will send you to the capital safely. Bring the title deed, your sweet cake shop and the title deed of the house, as well as the tokens and coins, are all placed on the second floor of your treasure chest. Bird's Nest Stay】

She, this is abandoned?

Ah Yao looked at it repeatedly: "I said that I would take care of each other, but she left me and ran away secretly, and she didn't let me get in touch." ”

She once thought that she would go to Beijing with bird's nest, and the two of them worked together to overturn the case and bring Mochizuki back. It's all because she thinks it's too good, the dream stops at the first step of reality, the bird's nest hit Ah Yao, she also won, and successfully left Ah Yao in Nanxun.

Decadently putting down the letters, what should she do now?

Do you stay in Nanxun to continue to run her sweet cake shop, live in the house, occasionally pick up a small banquet, or change direction to go to Fuhai and catch up with Mochizuki, or...... Continue to go to Beijing, what did you think before, how to continue to do it, go to Beijing, make a reputation, conquer the powerful with food, develop your own contacts, and think ...... Find a way to overturn the case for Mochizuki.

But Bird's Nest and Mochizuki are silent, and she doesn't know much about their case.

Ah Yao put away the letter and sighed quietly, she hadn't been to the sweet cake shop for a while, she had to go and see, she still had ten days to think about it.

Kiryu wiped the table, the water sign in the store was still the same, the business was bleak, and it took half a day for someone to eat bowls and porridge, which was not the same as the excitement a few months ago.

"Kiryu, are you the only one in the store?"

"Little boss, you're here. Kiryu dropped the rag, poured a bowl of barley tea for A-Yao, and said with a wry smile that since Mochizuki's accident, she didn't come to the sweet cake shop much, and the shopkeeper of the Gao family restaurant came to publicize how bad the store was, several helpers were poached by him, and some people found another way out, and he was left alone in the store some time ago, knowing that A-Yao was running around for Mochizuki, he didn't bother her much, and he could barely maintain himself.

"I'm sorry. "A-Yao can't say anything else except sorry, and she won't be a qualified boss since the beginning of the year.

The strange thing is that not long after Ah Yao sat down, maybe to see that there were people in the store, one after another, believers who came out of the back door of the Taoist temple came in to rest, and the two of them were busy before they had time to sigh until half an hour before sunset.

A-Yao instructed Kiryu to close the sweet cake shop early, she was calculating the surplus for the year, and Kiryu was surprised to the ledger that Kiryu also shouldered the responsibility of the shopkeeper, and when she was away, he paid the helper, and now the money he received matches the account - and Kiryu didn't take his share.

After settling Kiryu's salary, he seemed to understand A-Yao's actions: "Little boss, you...... Are you trying to fire me?"

"No, no, no, this is a normal settlement, and you haven't taken your fair share yet. I'm not angry, I'm not here for you, no problem, even if you come and tell me that I will let you take full responsibility - at that time, my heart was on Master Mochizuki. Ah Yao hurriedly explained, and then a thought rose in her heart: "Kiryu, have you ever thought about opening your own store?"

"Ah, little boss, are you kidding, I want money but no money, I want craftsmanship or no craftsmanship, this life is just a running hall, how can I open my own store. Kiryu scratched his head.

Ah Yao didn't laugh, "If I rent the store to you and you run it, what do you think?"

She doesn't want to sell the store, this is what Mochizuki gave her, but she doesn't know if she will come back when she enters the capital, and when she will come back, she can rent out the store or hand it over to someone else to operate, just like Mochizuki and Zuixianlou, there is also an income.

"What should you do about the little boss?"

"I'm going to the capital, and I'm reluctant to sell the sweet cake shop, and I'm going to rent it out for a rent. ”

Kiryu shook his head, still refusing: "I can't do it, if you want to rent out the sweet cake shop, just find the store house to handle it, the store house is on the edge of the yamen." ”

Ah Yao, who said this, had already decided to go to the capital to take root at this time, as long as she stood tall, she would meet bird's nest one day, and she didn't realize that there was still a trace of expectation in her heart to see the old man.

Ah Yao took care of her affairs and asked the dart bureau if she could leave early, but the answer she got was that there were still seven days before the dart was on the road. Wry Bird's Nest just didn't want to give her a chance to find her, unless she was alone in the capital now, but the memory of fleeing from Jiangcun a few years ago was deeply engraved in her mind, thinking of the fake monk who broke the temple all the way, she was weak-legged and didn't have the courage to go to the capital by herself, and she didn't know how to go.

On the day of Ayao's departure, Shaocui Shengxiang and Yingniang came to say goodbye.

The banks of the river are wide and wide, and wild ducks swim out of the reeds.

"The autumn is high and cool, and I can't say the sad words of the declining willows. A-Yao, take care, you have to write to me when you arrive in the capital. Yingniang was reluctant, "Maybe I'll come to you when I go to the capital to play." ”

Shao Cui Shengxiang glanced at each other: "Ah Yao, why don't I write a letter to the young master and tell him?"

Ah Yao knew what they were worried about: "No need, Pei Shuo hasn't written to me for a long time." I won't bother him when I go to the capital, bird's nest will go to explore the way first, we plan to make a name for ourselves in the capital, Nanxun is rich in this place, in the end it is still a little smaller, not enough for us to stretch our fists. ”

The two of them were relieved and wished Ah Yao a smooth journey.

The bird's nest mentioned by her was already standing at the side door of the eldest princess's mansion at this time, taking a deep breath and knocking on the deep red door leading to the house.
