Almost no one slept that night, the men of the Shen family ran and toiled, and sure enough, as Shen Huiqiu guessed, the city gate officials changed their duties during the fourth watch, and the rebels easily left the city, and even the grain and grass prepared by the Shen family were all transported out of the city.

Old Mrs. Shen was old, she had been dozing off, but she refused to go to bed, until Shen Huizhi came back and said that everything was done, then she breathed a sigh of relief, listened to the persuasion of the juniors, and went to bed to make up for sleep.

Xu Qirong waited until Old Madam Shen fell asleep, then went back to the room, asked Yu Xia to fetch water, and went to bed after washing.

Yu Xia put down the mosquito net on the Zhu bed, but accidentally ripped off the crystal used to fall the mosquito net, and fell to the ground with a dull sound, and the good crystal shattered into several pieces at once.

Yu Xia frightened herself first, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Girl, the maid knows that she is wrong." ”

Xu Qirong sighed, got up and pulled the person up: "Okay, I haven't said anything yet, what are you kneeling for!" I don't know how hard I usually treat you! ”

Yu Xia said sullenly: "The girl has a good temperament, and she is naturally very good to us subordinates, and everyone sees it in their eyes." It's the maid who is not good, and she is too inattentive to do things, so she dropped this crystal. ”

"It's just a crystal!" Xu Qirong waved his hand, then took Yu Xia's hand and sighed, "I know what you're worried about, I'm just as worried about this as you are." But Shen's mother's family are all good people, and Qiu Nong is a blessed one, do you remember, the last time we went to Shuanggui Zen Temple, the old monk said that Qiu Nong was a good life. When you get old, your children and grandchildren will be around your knees, which is enviable! How could it be ......?"

But the latter words are indescribable.

I fled in a hurry. After Qiu Nong's family and the Xu family were separated, there was no news, Xu Qirong and Yu Xia were very worried that their family had not left Fuzhou City until now, and they suffered with everyone.

Xu Qirong saw that Yu Xia was really worried, thought about it, and comforted him: "Earlier, they only arrested rich people or people who were officials, but Qiu Nong and they saw that they had been working all year round, and they knew that we were going to Suzhou. I can't say I got there before everyone else! ”

Yu Xia's eyes were a little red: "If you arrive first, the executives know that the girl has a good relationship with Qiu Nong, and I met the girl today." Why don't you mention it? Don't be relieved, girl......"

Halfway through the words, he suddenly came back to his senses and secretly scolded himself for having no brains, and the girl felt uncomfortable in her own heart. Kind and kind to comfort her. Instead, she said something that worried the girl, which was really inappropriate.

Hurriedly changed her words: "What the girl said is that Qiu Nong and Mother Shen are blessed with great fortunes, and there will definitely be nothing wrong." Seeing that it was almost dawn, the girl should sleep for a while, but don't get dark circles under her eyes. ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips, thinking that after tossing all night, Yu Xia should be tired. Then he said, "Put the brazier on it, and go outside to sleep on the soft couch." ”

Yu Xia had something in mind. I didn't want to sleep, but I was worried that it would affect my girl, so I hummed, cleaned up, and lay on the soft couch outside, without a sound.

Xu Qirong sighed slightly in his heart, thinking, he didn't know when Degong would come to Jinzhou, such a big event happened in Fuzhou City, and the people in the whole city were basically slaughtered, Yao Jing's gang of thieves thought that it was not a matter for the whole city to be empty, so they tied up the people from the surrounding states and counties with great fanfare and put them into Fuzhou City, and the evil deeds were only made known to the world.

Degong has been in Fuzhou City for a few years, and he will definitely not have no power at all, but I am afraid that he will know about this matter much earlier than her, and I don't know if he has found a way to prevent this tragedy from happening.

Just thinking about it, she heard Yu Xia's slight snoring outside, and couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, and all night, she was worried about this and that, running around, obviously tired.

After a while, Xu Qirong also let out a peaceful breathing sound.

I don't know how long I slept, I only heard a slight impact of the pearl jade, Xu Qirong woke up, rubbed his eyes, the sky light passed through the window paper, and it looked like it was already dawn.

probably thinking that everyone didn't have a good rest last night, so the people of the Shen family didn't come to ask Xu Qirong to go out for breakfast. Xu Qirong gently lifted the mosquito net, shouted Yu Xia twice, and then saw that the dress placed on the chair in front of his bed should have been prepared by Yu Xia before.

Xu Qirong sighed in his heart, and was about to get up and put on his dress, when he saw a person standing in front of the window, with his back to this side, against the light, with a slender figure, as if he had come out of a painting.

Xu Qirong frowned slightly, the identity of this person was subconsciously guessed, and said, "Degong, why are you here?" ”

Hua Yude turned around, and Xu Qirong saw that he was holding the broken jade bracelet in his hand, and his face was very ugly.

Hua Yude glanced at Xu Qirong, then gestured at the jade bracelet in his hand, and his tone was sad with some unknown meaning: "Don't you like this bracelet?" ”

Xu Qirong was a little confused, so before he could ask anything, he saw Hua Yude's eyes sweep to this side, and swept to a piece of jade pendant placed above the clothes on the chair, which was a gift from Cao Huaiyu.

Hua Yude's face was ugly, he strode forward and picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and asked, "This is the token of love given to you by the second son of Cao?" ”

Xu Qirong was a little annoyed about Hua Yude's meddling in his marriage, but because the culprit was not there, he had to hold back. Now seeing that Hua Yude took the initiative to mention this, he couldn't help but start to get angry in his heart, and sneered: "Do I want to thank Duke De for making a good marriage for the little girl?" ”

"No thanks," Hua Yude shook his head and explained, "I've already sent a letter to Cao Er, this jade pendant, you should return it to him early!" ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Huayude's gourd.

Hua Yude smiled: "I found you a better family affair." ”

When Xu Qirong heard this, his heart was even more angry, but because he was only wearing a middle coat, it was difficult to uncover the quilt and get out of bed, so he had to sit on the bed, surround himself with the quilt, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Degong, the little girl is not such a person, I think Cao Er Gongzi is very good, there is no need to change it." ”

Hua Yude opened his mouth, wanting to explain well, telling her that he wanted to marry her, telling her that he would be good to her for the rest of his life, and telling her that he regretted giving her to Cao Er in the first place, but before he could speak, he was blocked back by Xu Qirong's words.

Xu Qirong had a dazzling smile on his face, and said: "I have promised to marry Cao Er Gongzi, Degong, you have to be faithful, you already have Cao Er Gongzi, no matter how good the person you introduced, I don't need it." (To be continued.) )
