"Miss, your stitching method is wrong, you should put the needle from here, and the lines on the back will be neat."

"A lotus petal must be embroidered with at least three thread colors, so that the petals can be embroidered from light to dark."

"This strand has to split two more parts......"

"Miss, it's wrong here again......"

"Miss......"

"Smallβ€”"

Before the maid could speak, Du Mi, who was sitting in front of the embroidery frame, stabbed the embroidery needle in his hand to the embroidery shed, "Isn't it just embroidering a lotus?" Where did so many things come from! Embroidered from a distance to look like it, who will come to your handkerchief to see if the lotus petals you embroidered are from shallow to deep?! ”

The maid was quite helpless, "but ......"

Du Mi still didn't give her a chance to say a word, "But what, believe it or not, if you say a word again, I won't do it?" ”

The maid opened her mouth: "But ......"

Du Mi's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, with a slight hint of threat, and the wind swept over.

Although Du Mi is against the body of the official lady, what lives in her bones is the soul that has crossed over from the 21st century, because Du Mi has been rejected since she was a child, and she hates jobs such as female red, and it is more uncomfortable to let her sit down and embroider than to let her play a set of punches.

After being glared at by Du Mi, the maid had to shut up interestingly, picked up the embroidery needle, offered it with both hands, pursed her mouth tightly, and didn't dare to say a word.

Du Mi's proud eyes are full of smiles, after no maid's nitpicking, Du Mi completely let go of herself, and did not bother with any messy needlework and flying embroidery, and directly regarded a good pair of Su embroidery patterns as cross-stitch.

Just when she was in high spirits, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and when the footsteps were about to reach the door, her face changed, and she hurriedly threw down the embroidery needle in her hand, and pulled the maid and walked inside, "Hurry up, put down the curtain, help me take off my coat, and say that I sleepβ€”β€”"

As a result, before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom!"

Du Mi subconsciously hid behind the maid.

The man who kicked in the door was dressed in military armor, holding a whip as thick as a baby's arm, and raised his hand at the ground of the bluestone slab to whip it fiercely, the whip wind cut through the air, and the muffled sound could make people get goosebumps when they heard it.

Du Mi trembled with fright when he heard the whip, his face instantly turned porcelain white, bloodless, and he became a little cowardly in seconds: "Sister, brother-in-law!" You, you, you have words, words, words to say! ”

Jiang Hou, who was called his brother-in-law, heard Du Mi's voice, and he had already accumulated a stomach full of anger, and he couldn't wait to catch this little girl and whip it hard, but at this moment he was holding back, but the anger on his face only increased, and his dark face was matched with a terrifying expression, which scared people's legs and stomachs, "Lao Tzu has such a violent temper!" If Lao Tzu doesn't fight today, you have a long memory, and Lao Tzu will be sorry for this armor on his body! ”

After saying that, he walked towards Du Mi with a bold sword, and raised the whip in his hand high.

"Sir! Master! Miss is a girl's family, how can she withstand your whip! ”

Du Mi's maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, sobbing profusely.

"Get out of here." Jiang Hou stretched out his long arm, lifted the maid up as if he was carrying a chicken, and threw it aside.

Du Mi was exposed to Jiang Hou in this way.

She noticed that something was wrong, so she hurriedly pulled out her legs and ran to the back room, and climbed onto the bed as soon as she stomped and pedaled, holding the bedpost, "Sister and brother-in-law, you whip down, you are worthy of the armor on your body, but are you worthy of my sister!" I'm not married yet, what if there are any scars left on my body that make my husband's family disgusted and divorced! ”

Jiang Hou laughed angrily and continued to approach, "Aren't you just unwilling to marry the son of the Shen family, and spread rumors that you already have a lover?!" It's just right to get married, save you from harming others! It is also saved that the Shen family came to find Lao Tzu's stubble, saying that Lao Tzu's style is corrupt before he has raised your number one! ”

As soon as the Shen family was mentioned, Du Mi was aggrieved.

Seeing that Jiang Hou was about to walk to the bed, Du Mi was obviously flustered, "You, you...... Don't come here! I, I, and I are also the girl's house that has not been out of the cabinet, how can you go to the girl's bed! ”

"Then you get out of here."

Du Mi: "Unless you don't beat me!" ”

Jiang Hou pulled the whip tightly with both hands, the whip made a crisp snap, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer, "What do you think?" ”

Du Mi swallowed his saliva, his eyes swept over the whip with the thickness of the baby's arm, thinking that if this whip was smoked, it was estimated that half of his life would be confessed.

She was only in a trance for a moment, and as soon as her black and white eyes rolled, she immediately had an idea.

"Brother-in-law, I really, really know it's wrong...... I...... Won't I be able to go to see the son of the Shen family? Du Mi begged for mercy.

Jiang Hou still has a Hades face, "No need, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”

"Brother-in-law~"

Jiang Hou completely lost his patience, and rushed forward with a strong step to prepare to slip Du Miti down.

Just as his foot stepped on the pedal, a small soldier rushed in from outside the door: "Adjutant General, Adjutant General!" Urgentβ€”"

Xiaobing stopped all of Jiang Hou's movements, Du Mi held her breath, watched the big rough hands turn in front of her eyes, took it back, and almost jumped to her throat before the little heart slowly fell, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Hou swept a sharp eye knife, "Remember what you said yourself, tomorrow at noon, give Lao Tzu a good pick up and go to Deyue Tower, if you let Lao Tzu know that you are still perfunctory, Lao Tzu will be the first to beat you to death!" ”

Du Mixiao's face was about to bloom, "Okay, brother-in-law, got it, brother-in-law." Brother-in-law, you go well - oh no, it's you who walks slowly. ”

Looking at Du Mi's portrait of his deceased wife, but the smile that made people itch for no reason, Jiang Hou only felt a cloud of anger burning in his chest, but under the urging of Xiao Bing, he had to poke Du Mi with his finger a few times in the air as if warning before turning around and leaving.

Jiang Hou left with his front foot, and Du Mi jumped off the bed with his back foot.

It's just that Jiang Hou just now was really scary, she was so frightened that her legs were out of strength, and she almost knelt down, but the maid Chunhua was quick and rushed over to help her.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Du Mi took a few breaths, and instead of answering Chunhua's question, she instructed her to pack up her things.

"Miss, what are you...... Where are you going? Chunhua was confused by Du Mi's instructions.

Du Mi rolled her eyes, "Where are you going?" Escape, of course! Could it be that you really asked me to obey my brother-in-law's words and obediently marry the Shen family's immortal sick jar for him to chongxi? ”

Chunhua is embarrassed: "The son of the Shen family...... It's not that weak, doesn't it mean it's just weaker? Besides, isn't the master also to let the young lady avoid the selection after the New Year, so that you can marry into the Shen family? ”

Du Mi glared at her, "If you say anything more, I'll leave you!" ”

Chunhua thought about it, if she stayed, and the lord knew that she didn't stop Miss Du Mi from staying, she would definitely peel her and cramp! Anyway, there will be no good fruit to eat, so it is better to follow the master closely, and then maybe the master will be able to see that she is soft-hearted...... Chunhua nodded in agreement with almost red eyes.

The master and servant changed into burlap clothes, disguised as the mother-in-law in Jiang's mansion and sneaked out.

Chiang's Mansion is the residence of the deputy general stationed at the border pass surnamed Jiang Minghou, and in order to protect the personal safety of Jiang Hou, there are often several classes of garrison soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Du Mi didn't do much such things as climbing the wall and slipping away, and with a tiptoeing Chunhua, he still easily avoided the patrol and garrison in the house.

After leaving Jiang's mansion, Du Mi bought a second-hand carriage in the trading market, swayed the carriage, and headed south.

Chunhua grew up at the border since she was a child, and she was even better at driving and riding horses, Du Mi was afraid that when she was napping by herself, she would drive the carriage back, so she didn't let her drive, but drove her in, and sat outside to catch the car.

Chunhua refused, and sat outside together, accompanying Du Mi.

"Miss, why don't you go to the shop that sells horses and carriages and buy them? Although this second-hand carriage is cheap, the wooden planks inside are old, and there is a smell of rotten wood. ”

Du Mi smiled proudly, "By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, my brother-in-law will find out that I ran away from home, I didn't take the horses and carriages in the house, he will definitely go all over the city to inquire who bought the horses and carriages, so that I can earn more time to travel, and when my brother-in-law knows that I bought second-hand horses and carriages, we are estimated to have gone out of Chuzhou." At that time, my brother-in-law was out of reach, and it was impossible for him to leave Chuzhou without permission to look for me, so he didn't follow us wantonly? ”

"That'...... Let's not go back to Chuzhou? Chunhua asked cautiously.

"Wait until I get past next year's election."

"What if the people above blame the master? The slave maid heard that this selection was very strict, and it required commoners and girls of the right age to go to the selection. ”

"This ......" Du Mi was suddenly silent for a moment, she only thought about not marrying the sick jar of the Shen family, and she didn't want to enter the palace, she never thought about how much trouble she would bring to her brother-in-law if she fled without permission, if she really let her brother-in-law ...... The first thought that popped up in her head was stifled by her, "My brother-in-law is also the deputy general stationed at the border gate, and he has a lot of achievements, and I am a relative of him who is separated from him, plus he really doesn't know my whereabouts, so the above will definitely not embarrass him." ”

Chunhua still looks worried, "I hope so......"

Du Mi thought that since they had escaped, there was no reason to give up and secretly turn back halfway, so he took Chunhua together and began to look forward to the days of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

While talking, it was quite pleasant.

Chuzhou is not a big state, and it can be crossed in half a day.

Du Mi and the maid drove lightly, hurried without hurry, and arrived at the gate of Chuzhou City before sunset.
