Before you know it, it's the end of autumn, and winter is coming. Jiangdu has been rainy for seven consecutive days, hazy white mist, an autumn rain and a cold, ten autumn rains to wear cotton, the wind and rain are full of coolness.

The vendors on the lonely street have already put on cotton clothes and pants, roasting sweet potatoes, selling tofu brains, buying sugar, and picking up goods on the street.

There are only roasted sweet potatoes next to the stove, and occasionally a few little babies are waiting for their sweet potatoes.

And this atmosphere is also the most inducing lovesickness.

Yingluo's courtyard was deserted, and Mu Xi had been standing at the door with an oil-paper umbrella for a long time, rubbing her cold hands, and the drizzle wet the tips of her shoes.

There are no falling yellow leaves under the locust tree, all that remains is a lonely branch, and one or two wild geese flying south fly slowly from the air, which should be the lonely geese that have fallen behind the team.

Seeing that Qingmei was coming back not far away, Mu Xi greeted him.

"How's it going, is there any news of him in the palace?"

。

Qingmei shook her head.

Mu Xi sighed in frustration, there has been no news of him for two months, and now he should have arrived at the border of Nanji Country a long time ago.

She can only wait in this yard for him who has no news, in this late autumn moment, the acacia is more and more fragrant, just like the daughter of this cylinder is more and more mellow the longer it is red.

Qingmei took Miss's oil-paper umbrella and comforted Miss: "No news is good news, Miss, it's raining outside, it's weirdly cold, there is a carbon stove in the house, it will be warmer"

。

"Hmm"

, Mu Xi sighed at his hands and ordered: "Qingmei go and move the account books in the tent to some rooms, I want to read them at night."

。

In the past few months, Mu Xi has been waiting for Qingmei's reply at the door during the day, and has been in the house at night looking at the ledger to kill time.

Her liquor shop had been opened in a low-key manner in the previous weeks, and in order to keep the liquor shop running normally and avoid being besieged again, Mu Xi opened in the name of Qingmei, with the help of Yu'er, and she was only behind the scenes, never appearing in the shop.

Mu Xi didn't go out in the house all afternoon, the nights were long and the days were short, the autumn night, the cold wind was blowing on the windows, the flickering fire in the house seemed to be extinguished, she still hadn't slept yet, leaning on the chaise longue, holding a book.

Flipping through the pages, carefully checking the lines and lines, although it was to pass the time of the night, but it was also very carefully checked, and when I turned to the next ledger, the account numbers did not match.

Mu Xi carefully checked this back and forth many times, it is indeed not right, could it be that Mr. Ledger has missed it?

Attentively, she still found that the number of pages in the footer was wrong, and there were traces of tearing, although it was torn along the root of the book, it was not obvious, and it would not be found if you didn't look carefully.

She counted that there were more than ten pages missing in the account book for three consecutive months, and a few pages were torn apart, and she didn't find any rules after looking for a long time, who would have moved the account book, and what were these pages of paper recorded, it seems that tomorrow is going to go to the account room, and ask Mr. Accounts may be able to know.

Mu Xi yawned, got up and closed the account book, pinched the fireworks on the stove, the flame was a little brighter, took off the plush cloak on his body, lay on the bed, the warm room, the warm quilt, remembered him, such a cold weather, is there also a charcoal fire for heating, whether you bring enough winter clothes.

There were so many that she didn't have time to tell them.

The candles in the house were extinguished, the people in the bed fell asleep in their thoughts, and only the sound of rain and wind was left outside.
