Yunzhu came out of Goldfish Alley and was rushing to the General's Mansion. She had in her hand a note left when she left safely, with the address of the General's Mansion. It's just that she is not familiar with the city, she can't tell the direction clearly, and she doesn't have a car to get around, so it takes a lot of foot strength.

When Yunzhu found the general's mansion with great difficulty, he saw that there were many guards outside the towering gate, and when he saw this formation, Yunzhu was a little stunned, and he dared to come forward to ask after a little determination.

"May I ask if this is General Wuwei's Mansion?"

The guard glanced at Yunzhu and saw that it was an inconspicuous country woman, and he also took care of her, and Yunzhu was in trouble. I thought that the gate was very strict, not a small courtyard in the countryside, and a fence could be pushed casually.

No, she has to inquire about the situation, otherwise how can she feel at ease.

"I'll ask the general's wife about something, can the adults help me pass it on?"

The guards didn't even look at Yunzhu, and one of them said, "How can we see the general's wife if you want to?" Get out! ”

An older guard couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Yunzhu, "You go to the back door and inquire." ”

Yunzhu hurriedly bent down to thank him and went to the back door.

The back door is also heavily guarded, but there are not as many people as the main entrance, some are sitting and some are standing, which seems to be much more casual. Yunzhu stepped forward to inquire, but there was a kind humane: "You make it clear who you are, and we can also help you spread the word." Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so bold to find a lady. ”

Yun Zhu said in his heart, he was so nervous that he forgot everything, and said busily: "A few days ago, my husband Feng Ping'an followed the general on the expedition, and I was worried about his situation. So come and ask the general's wife about it. ”

The guard nodded, "You can wait here." ”

A person went in to help Yunzhu pass the word. Yunzhu sincerely bowed to them and thanked them.

The guards looked at Yunzhu, and although they also meant to look down on them, they didn't show as much as they did at the main entrance. It's kind to her, and she has a smiling face.

Yun Zhu stood outside and waited, and after a while, the messenger came back and said to Yun Zhu, "Come in." ”

Yunzhu bowed again, carried the sack she was carrying, and followed the man into the general's mansion officially.

Yunzhu followed closely behind him. Follow suit.

When they reached the other door, they saw a maid-like figure standing at the door, dressed in a turquoise armor. Combed with a double mustache. The guard bowed slightly to the maid and said, "I brought the people." ”

The maid nodded and said hard.

The guard went back again, and Yun Zhu watched his figure leave, and the maid said, "Please come with me." ”

Yunzhu is under the leadership of the maid. Walk through flowers and cross the water all the way. Twists and turns. She also had no intention of admiring the majestic construction of the General's Mansion, and finally came to a wing room.

The maid invited Yunzhu to sit down, and said, "Please wait for a while." ”

Yunzhu got up and thanked him. Immediately, there was a little maid wearing a bijia who served tea to Yunzhu and handed snacks.

Yunzhu is not in the mood to enjoy these. A casual glance at the furnishings of the room revealed only a black-lacquered table, six chairs with the same black lacquer, and new chairs of large red satin. A set of colorful tea sets on the table. On the high table in the corner of the wall is a blue and white vase, in which several blooming plum blossoms are offered. Bursts of dark incense. The floor is paved with terrazzo tiles, which are very clean. It's almost time to take a picture of the figure.

This room is small, and Yunzhu secretly said, and it shouldn't be a place to meet guests. She looked up and saw that the rows of carved windows were covered with clear paper, and the doors were half-open, so it was really cold to sit like this.

Most of the flowers and trees in the yard have withered, and it looks a little deserted.

Just when Yunzhu was stunned, she heard a small sound of footsteps, and knew that someone was coming, so she hurriedly put down the tea cup that warmed her hands, stood up and waited.

After a while, I saw a woman wearing gold and silver, covered in ayaluo, followed by two maids and two mothers-in-law. Yun Zhu hesitated, and secretly said that this should not be the general's wife. She should have taken the initiative to visit Madame, not Madame to see her.

The woman entered the house, saw Yun Zhu and smiled: "It's been hard along the way, please take a seat." ”

Yun Zhu sat down on the first chair below, and took out the things he had brought with him, suddenly feeling that he couldn't handle it, because it was too rough, just some country dirt.

"I brought two self-made pan ducks to honor Mrs. Nian, and two bottles of rose dew that I made myself."

The woman nodded and said, "If you have made this trip, I will tell Madame." ”

Yun Zhu thought that this woman should be a capable maid beside the general's wife, and when she saw that she was born with an inverted flower and a peaceful face, she asked with a smile: "I don't know what my sister is called?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, just call me Qiuyue." ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "Sister Qiuyue, I came to inquire where my husband is now, what is the situation, if Mrs. knows, please ask her to sue one or two, and it will be good for my mother-in-law's heart." ”

Qiu Yue said with a generous and decent smile: "The general went to Western Xinjiang this time, and he set off four days ago, so he should be on the way to Western Xinjiang." You can rest assured, there are so many people in the army, there will be no problems. Before the general left, he had something to say to our wife, saying, 'No matter what problems you encounter, you can ask us for help,' so if you have any difficulties, just ask. ”

Yunzhu's current difficulty is to find a place to live in the city, just have a quiet small house, and hope to have a shop to continue her career, but she is not good at bothering the general's wife, so she didn't mention half a word, only said; "It's not difficult, you bother"

Qiu Yue smiled: "That's good, if you can help, just say it, don't be too outside." ”

Yunzhu thanked him repeatedly. She originally wanted to see the general's wife, but Houmen was as deep as the sea, how could she see it if she wanted to, but now that she knew the direction of peace, her heart was more steady, and she was about to get up and say goodbye.

Qiu Yue said: "I've come all the way here, it's time to eat again, so it's better to have a meal and leave." ”

Yunzhu said, "You don't have to be too polite. ”

Qiu Yue had already gotten up and asked someone to pack up a table of food and carry it over. Qiuyue left two little maids to take care of Yunzhu's diet, and she was going to go over there to return to Madame's words. said goodbye to Yunzhu. Yunzhu can't leave even if he wants to. had to sit down hard, and secretly said that Wang Qingshan should not blame her for delaying the time.

Qiu Yue walked out of this wing room and went to the upper courtyard.

Mrs. Shangguan also has guests here. At this moment, she was talking with her sister-in-law, and Qiu Yue looked outside the curtain, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Mrs. Shangguan asked through the curtain, "Is it Qiuyue?" ”

Qiu Yue answered.

Mrs. Shangguan said, "Come in." ”

The mother-in-law opened the curtain for Qiu Yue, and Qiu Yue lowered her head and walked in. Mrs. Shangguan smiled and asked, "What about people?" Have you taken care of everything? ”

Qiu Yue replied, "Yes, the little one has already ordered the kitchen to clean up a table of dishes and send them over." She also took two of her own pickled ducks to honor you, Madame. ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and nodded, "She has a heart." ”

The mother's sister-in-law, Fu Shi, heard it and said with a smile: "It's the countryman's style, bring two big fat ducks." I heard that the countryside people all go to their relatives like this. ”

Mrs. Shangguan liked it even more when she heard it: "It shows that she is sincere." ”

Qiu Yue said again: "In addition to the duck, there are two bottles of things for Mrs. You." As he spoke, he took out two porcelain vases from his sleeves.

Mrs. Shangguan took it. I looked at the bottle, it was not a rare thing, it was just ordinary coarse porcelain, and it was slightly prickly to the touch. Lift the stopper and sniff it. I felt that it was very fragrant, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

"I heard it's Qinglu."

"Oh, is it the dew of the roses? Where do they countrymen have such meticulous goodies? ”

"This little one didn't ask."

Mrs. Shangguan handed over the porcelain vase to the people around her and asked her to take it and put it away.

Qiu Yue promised to do it, but Mrs. Shangguan stopped her: "You wait." Something was delivered. It's the New Year, and you can't let people go back empty-handed. ”

Qiu Yue smiled: "Yes, madam, the little one knows what to do." ”

After Qiu Yue left, Fu Shi was a little puzzled, so he asked Mrs. Shangguan: "It's just a country woman, how can Madame treat her like this?" ”

Mrs. Shangguan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, this is the general's explanation before he left to take care of their family, saying that no matter what difficulties there are." You have to find a way to help. ”

"No wonder, the general really loves the people like a son."

Mrs. Shangguan said: "Now is the time for the general to employ people. So it's a pity. Hearing that this surnamed Feng has some talents, Mr. Liao repeatedly recommended them to the general, and the general seemed to appreciate it, and he wanted to cultivate it and use it for himself in the future. ”

"That's really their family's creation. When I met the general and the lady, they were so generous. ”

The food here has been served, and there is a small table full of meat, vegetarian dishes, and dim sum, a total of six dishes. Yunzhu can't eat so much alone. The dishes looked rich, and Yunzhu tried to taste each dish. After the first round, she also roughly knew what habits this chef usually had when cooking, if you want to talk about the taste, it must be good, but if you improve it, it will definitely be even more delicious.

After Yunzhu finished eating, the maid served tea again, and Yunzhu couldn't sit still and said that she was going to leave. Just when Qiu Yue came, she smiled and said, "Eldest sister, our lady said, thank you for the gift, and please come to play often when you have time in the future." If you have any difficulties, just ask. ”

Yun Zhu was very grateful and hurriedly said, "I've caused trouble to Madame." ”

"Don't bother, you've traveled all the way to this trip, and it's so cold. And bring some things. Our lady said that it is not good for you to go back empty-handed, and there are just two snacks that have been rewarded on it, whether you take them back for a treat, or eat them yourself, it is better than making them yourself. ”

Yunzhu thanked him repeatedly.

"And I found two clothes that are not big to wear, you can take them back and wear them to work."

Yunzhu was a little embarrassed at the time, but in the face of Qiuyue's kindness, he still accepted it generously. She saluted and thanked Qiu Yue, who had sent her to the door.

By the time she finally arrived at Aoyama's brother-in-law's shop, it was already a little late.

Qingshan saw that Yunzhu finally came, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, my sister-in-law." You're finally here, I'm still blaming myself, why don't I go with you, if something happens to you, how will I be safe in the future? ”

Yun Zhu smiled faintly: "It's okay." ”

Brother-in-law Qi asked Yunzhu: "It's nothing, right?" ”

Yunzhu shook his head and said, "It's okay." She saw that there were still a lot of ducks in the store, and she thought that she was going to come to the city for the New Year, and she didn't plan to do it anymore, so she felt a little guilty when she saw her brother-in-law Qi.

"How is business going?"

Brother-in-law Qi smiled: "It's the best to sell in these two days." After selling these, I can live a good year. It's thanks to you. ”

Yunzhu hurriedly said: "How dare you be, it's your brother-in-law who manages it properly." ”

Brother-in-law Qi said: "I just don't know what to sell when the weather is warmer later." ”

Yun Zhu is still thinking about where to live in the city, and she is still thinking about the things in the shop, she has no one else to entrust, Brother-in-law Qi has dealt with her so many times, plus Wang Qingshan and Ping'an are small people, they are all people who can be trusted. She mentioned to her brother-in-law Qi: "Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry." Maybe our family won't be making board ducks anymore. ”

Brother-in-law Qi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you do it?" ”

Yunzhu said: "Mother-in-law said that killing too many lives has cost her blessings. If you are safe and have no eyes on the sword outside, I hope to give you some virtue. Besides, there is no home at home, and I can't afford to pull such a big stall. So I don't plan to farm anymore, I want to spend the New Year and find a place to live in the city with my mother-in-law. ”

Wang Qingshan was also surprised when he heard this, and Brother-in-law Qi said again: "If you don't do this, I really lost a way to make money, it's a pity." It was Ping An who persuaded me to rent this shop, and I thought it could be sold until the early summer of next year, hey, who knows......"

"I'm sorry. Didn't something unexpected happen, I didn't expect it? I didn't plan to open the small noodle restaurant at home, but I just saved some money, and I wanted to continue to open a restaurant here. ”

Brother-in-law Qi said jokingly: "Seriously, what if I come to help you in the future?" ”

Yunzhu took it seriously, and hurriedly said: "This dare is good, I am short of helpers." Why don't you help me keep an eye on the house first, brother-in-law? Don't be too big, anyway, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't live in a few rooms, it's simple, don't be too remote, it's best to bring a well at home, and other requirements are gone. ”

Brother-in-law Qi saw that Yunzhu was serious, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll help you pay attention to it when it's okay, and I'll tell you if it's suitable." ”

Yunzhu was busy; "I'm tired."

Brother-in-law Qi smiled: "It's nothing, you don't have to be polite to me, everyone is an acquaintance, and they came out of the same place, so they should help more, isn't it, Qingshan." ”

Wang Qingshan didn't interject for a long time, and said busily: "Brother-in-law, you are right." ”

Brother-in-law Qi saw that it was not early, so he hurriedly urged them to leave quickly, and said that he would return to Qingtang on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and maybe he would have eyebrows by then. Yunzhu is also full of expectations. (To be continued......)
