Night falls.

There weren't many stars tonight, and the moon hung high in the sky, big and round, radiating a glittering light.

The lantern lighting activity was held under the Bodhi tree in the back mountain, and the pilgrims each found a good place to watch and waited.

At this moment, a branch of the Bodhi tree quietly stretched out from the shadows, and the little Bodhi stood on the branch and beckoned to her: "Sister, come up to the tree." ”

Xue Wu whispered to Xue Mu: "Mother, let's go to the tree." ”

Xue Mu hesitated: "You guys go, I'll be here." ”

Xue Wan didn't force it, and sent Xue Jun and Xue Yao up first, and when she was about to climb up the tree, Pei Lin grabbed her waist and jumped up on the spot, falling lightly on the branches.

Xue Wu looked at him in surprise, Pei Lin leaned over and rubbed the tip of his nose on her face, "Sister-in-law, am I powerful?" ”

It's like a puppy.

Xue Wu was rubbed by him and touched his head, "Well, our Akang is really amazing." ”

The initial surprise dissipated.

He's just amnesia, but his body's instinct is still there, and he's shown a high level of force before, so even if he can fly now, it's not a big deal, right?

"That'...... Is it okay for my sister-in-law to reward me with a kiss? ”

Xue Yan smiled and pinched his ears, "How do I feel that you have been getting more and more clingy lately." ”

Pei Lin hugged her and swayed from side to side, carrying out the coquettish to the end, "Okay?" 婳婳, 婳婳......"

Thanks to the relatively high branch they were standing on, and the large number of people below was noisy, the voices of the two were not heard.

Xue Wu couldn't stand being shaken by him, "Okay, don't shake, I'll kiss it." ”

She held his face, Pei Lin leaned down cooperatively, and the moment her lips touched it, she only felt that everything around her was far away, the world was silent, and only the dragonfly kiss on her face was real.

The calm heart lake thus set off stormy waves.

"Ah, put the lights on!" Someone shouted from below.

Xue Wu immediately turned her head to look, one after another sky lanterns slowly rose, and in Fengchi County under the mountain, in the Jiuwan River that surrounds the county seat, there are countless lights floating, lighting up the entire river surface, and the river on the ground seems to have become a river in the sky.

Xue Wu's eyes were reflected in thousands of lights, and her eyes were clearly extinguished, bright and moving.

Pei Lin didn't look at the lamp, but stared at her, without blinking, as if it had become an eternity at this moment.

After the Midyear Festival, Xue Wu found that Xue's mother's mental state was very poor, and she was always a little unable to lift her energy, and sometimes she would stare at something, and suddenly she would be stunned.

She estimated that Mother Xue was thinking of Father Xue.

Before, because she had to take care of several children, and she always had hope in her heart, the pain of Xue's father's disappearance was delayed for her, but this mid-year festival made her no longer able to deceive herself, and the accumulated pain broke out all of a sudden.

Xue Wu felt that she had to find a career for Xue's mother to do, and only when she was busy would she not be too immersed in grief.

Xue's mother's hobby is to grow flowers and fragrances, and what she is good at is embroidery, Xue Wu thought about it for a while, and decided to open an embroidery workshop for her, the embroidery workshop does not have to be opened in a place with a large flow of people, but a remote and clean location is better.

Because the embroidery workshop doesn't need to make any money, she just wants Xue Mu to have something to do, just have some sustenance.

Therefore, her positioning for the embroidery workshop is to take the high-end custom route, and she believes that with Xue Mu's exquisite craftsmanship, it can fully support it.

Since the embroidery workshop is a business, it is essential to have human contacts, but Xue's mother's personality is neither delicate nor sleek, she is only suitable for embroidery quietly, so she has to find a shopkeeper for her.

And the candidate for the shopkeeper, Xue Wu already has it.

That's Mrs. Joe.

Qiao Niangzi was originally familiar with Mother Xue, and she has also been a shopkeeper in the embroidery workshop for several years, and she is quite proficient in the business of the embroidery workshop, and her temperament is also sharp and cheerful, so it is suitable for her to be the shopkeeper.

Provided, of course, that she's willing to change jobs.

For this reason, Xue Wu went on a trip in person, and after greeting her, she explained her purpose, but before she threw out the conditions she had prepared in advance, Mrs. Qiao agreed.

Seeing Xue Wu's surprised face, Qiao Niangzi smiled and said, "Do you think I promised too quickly?" ”

Truly.

"Actually, just for your mother's embroidery, I'm willing to follow her. Besides, I'll tell you the truth, I can't stay in this embroidery workshop for a long time. ”

Xue Wu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Qiao?" ”

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that the boss of the embroidery workshop has taken a fancy to me and wants me to make a continuation for him, my brother and sister-in-law are greedy, and they want to accept the boss's dowry behind my back. I've been planning since I left, I won't marry in the future, I jumped over the pit once, how can I jump into the pit again, right? While you are still young, save more money, and you don't have to be afraid when you get old in the future. If you have the opportunity, you can also adopt a child. ”

The Great Qi Dynasty allowed the establishment of a female household, which is also the reason why Qiao Niangzi dared to plan like this.

In the past, there was a peony who was unwilling to leave the land of fireworks to enjoy a happy Oiran career, and then there was Qiao Niangzi who no longer married and enjoyed a free single life, Xue Wu felt that many women in this era already had the rudiments of modern independent women in terms of thought.

In this regard, Xue Wan expressed her very much agreement, "Aunt Qiao, it's okay, in the future, you can just treat me and Yao'er Jun'er as your own children." ”

Mrs. Qiao hugged her with emotion.

Now that it has been decided, Mrs. Qiao no longer procrastinated, so she ended her employment relationship with the owner of the embroidery workshop on the same day, cleaned up briefly, and followed Xue Wu to the county seat.

The carriage stopped in front of a quiet courtyard, which was just across the street from Xue's Mansion in Qingyun Lane, and it was only a few minutes' walk away.

In addition, the layout in the yard was quite to her liking, so she bought it.

The yard has been taken care of, and the plaque on the door has been hung.

"Aunt Qiao, do you think you're still satisfied?" Xue Wu led Mrs. Qiao in and took a turn, and asked at the end.

Mrs. Qiao smiled, "Satisfied, I can't be more satisfied." ”

"Then you can stay here first, and see if there is anything missing, but let the maid buy it." I'll go back and tell my mother about it. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised, "Your mother still doesn't know about this?" ”

"I'm not afraid that she won't agree, so I'll cut it first."

Qiao Niangzi sneered, "You Nizi, go quickly." ”

Xue Wu went home and mentioned to Xue's mother about opening an embroidery workshop, "You just need to embroider with peace of mind, you can pick up if you have guests, and if you don't have guests, you can plant flowers and watch the play or something, what do you think?" ”
