Chapter 69: Change

I didn't expect Lao Zhao to come so quickly, and just as I was about to go out, I saw the familiar carriage parked in front of the house.

Lao Zhao Xu just stopped, and when he saw that I was just coming out, his face was almost full of laughter, jumped down from the carriage, and greeted me, "Young Master Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lao Zhao, I came as promised." ”

When I saw Lao Zhao, I was also overjoyed, walked up to him in three steps and two steps, and laughed, "Very good, Lao Zhao, you are really punctual." ”

Hearing me say this, he just smiled and asked, "When will Childe leave?" ”

"You go in with me first, and then we'll discuss, and you can drive the carriage in the backyard." I didn't know how to answer, and I hadn't discussed it with Mo Xi yet, so I had to invite Lao Zhao in first.

Lao Zhao nodded, then turned around and drove the carriage towards the backyard deep in the alley, and I immediately closed the main door, returned to the house, and went to the backyard.

Mo Xi saw that I was rushing all the way, and stopped and asked, "Xianggong, what happened, in such a hurry?" ”

I pulled her with my backhand and left, and the wind was about to get on my feet, "Lao Zhao is here, we should be about to leave." ”

"Huh? Really leaving? When she heard me say this, she slowed down a few steps and stood still.

I know that Moxi is reluctant to leave, and I am not it, this is not just a place to escape from the world, but more like a home.

I could only nod, leaving her alone in the front yard and running to the back to open the door for Lao Zhao.

When the carriage drove into the courtyard, I grabbed Lao Zhao and cautiously asked about the situation in the outside world, only to hear Lao Zhao say that all states and counties have begun to search a large area, and the officers and soldiers also took the portraits to set up checkpoints at the city gate to strictly investigate, and told me that I heard that the mother of the palace was lost.

Although Lao Zhao didn't know that I was a woman, he knew that I was more concerned about this matter, so he paid attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fuchen didn't care about the people's opinions, and hyped up that the mother in the palace was lost, this kind of scandal, he can really let it go, it seems that if you don't find me, this search can't stop.

Lao Zhao also said that when he came, the official documents of the search had already arrived in Linxian County, Qingzhou, and if I had any plans, it was best to do it as soon as possible.

That is to say, within three days, this Qingzhou will be full of officers and soldiers, and it will definitely no longer be safe, and now that such a big change has occurred, I can't help but go, I thought that Huangfu Chen would send someone to investigate, but I didn't want to make such a big splash.

After settling Lao Zhao to live in the wing, I went to find Moxi, and it happened that she and Qinghe were in the kitchen.

I saw Qinghe holding potatoes in one hand, scraping the potato skin with a broken bowl in the other, the hem of Luo's skirt hanging down, stained with dust, Mo Xi was also sitting on the side, picking beans, the two of them were talking and laughing, and they didn't notice my arrival.

"Madame, I have something to tell you." walked to Mo Xi's side and said softly, not daring to speak loudly, for fear of scaring Qing He, a missed hand scratched his hand.

Mo Xi heard my voice, turned around, and asked, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

Qinghe also stopped what he was doing and looked up at me.

"You go with me to the study." I tugged at Moxi's clothes, a little embarrassed.

She was good, her face was disapproving, and she quickly picked the beans in her hand, "Is there anything that can't be said here, Qinghe is not an outsider." ”

When Qinghe heard me invite Mo Xi to the study, his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head slightly, looking at the potatoes in his hand blankly.

Although I was embarrassed, when I thought of it, Qinghe already knew that we would leave, even if it didn't matter, he gritted his teeth and said, "We will leave the day after tomorrow, you prepare and pack your things." ”

After I finished speaking, I turned to leave, leaving Mo Xi's sigh behind me, "Hey......"

When it was time for dinner, Aoki knocked on the door of the study, he was tired, but his spirit was really good, and he excitedly told me how much money he had earned today, and how he told the owner of Yulu Fang that he would rent a shop to sell flower dew, and said how long he was going to open his own shop in the future, what location, and the merchant's bearing on him was hearty, but it made me feel at ease.

Aoki is so capable, I don't have to worry about their sister and brother not being able to eat and wear, let's write down some other makeup recipe lists tonight, in this way, it should be enough for him to earn money to eat and wear, and Qinghe's dowry will soon be enough.

Arrived at the side hall.

As soon as I sat down with Aoki, I saw that Lao Zhao, Qinghe, and Mo Xi were already sitting in their seats.

On the table, there are dishes such as squirrel osmanthus fish, West Lake Ulva soup, rock sugar Xianglian, snow winter chicken, scallion fried mutton, etc., which integrate the tastes of the north and south.

"It's rare for everyone to get together, let me introduce you to you, this old man is Lao Zhao, and he sent me to Qingzhou to help me find this house." I pointed to Qinghe and Lao Zhao, and said, "Lao Zhao, this is what I told you in the morning, Aoki, an expert in business, this is Qinghe, Aoki's sister." ”

"Oh, it's really a hero out of a young man, I can't see that the little boy is so capable, if my dog can also have half of the talent of the little boy, I will be content." After listening to me, Lao Zhao toasted a glass of thin wine to Aoki and praised him.

Aoki Xu was praised by outsiders for the first time, he was a little embarrassed, raised his glass and drank it all, and smiled stupidly, "Hehe, hehe, it's just the son who lifted me, and the old man praised it falsely." ”

I don't have time to take care of their politeness, I keep sending dishes to my mouth, the taste is delicious and delicious, and sure enough, the beauty's cooking skills are also impeccable.

Half-filled, I said, "I have something to announce." Satisfied to see everyone stop their chopsticks in their hands and look up at me, with a look of concentration, this looks like when I listened to the boss's lecture before, my heart was secretly refreshed, I cleared my throat and continued, "Ahem, that is, I plan to leave Qingzhou the day after tomorrow." ”

Except for Aoki, everyone didn't react much, his chopsticks "snapped" and fell on the table, smashing sound, Aoki grabbed my hand, and asked puzzledly, "Childe, why?" Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? ”

I smiled and rubbed Aoki's smooth sideburns, "I can't tell you a word or two, I'll leave this house to your two sisters and brothers, take a good look at it for me, and leave another hundred taels for you as the principal when the time comes, and you won't be able to help you in the future." ”

Before I could finish speaking, Aoki's eyes were red, and he choked up, "Don't, I don't want Childe to go, Childe is going to go, take me with you." ”

Qing He also said on the side, "Yes, Childe, you can take us with you." ”

Only Mo Xi looked at all this calmly, she knew that I would not take these two people away, and she also knew that they were just like themselves at the beginning, and it was useless to persuade them.

I shook my head and said resolutely, "Impossible, if I leave, life and death are uncertain, you can stay in Qingzhou and guard my first home for me, if there is a chance in the future, I will come back." ”

Lao Zhao looked embarrassed, and wanted to speak several times, but I glared back.

Seeing that I was so resolute, Aoki yelled, "I just don't. With that, he rushed out of the house without looking back.

This roar stunned me, and Qing He hurriedly said, "Childe, Aoki didn't mean to be disrespectful. ”

"I know, I don't blame him." Looking at Aoki's figure gradually moving away, I felt uncomfortable, and sure enough, a person like me was not suitable for saying goodbye.

When I left, I chose not to say goodbye, it seems that it is really a choice to fight for, if Ziqing and Qi Hao know that I will never go back, I really don't know what kind of chaos will happen, and now, I hope Aoki is just a temporary can't figure it out.

I saw that everyone was not interested, and forced out a smile to beckon them to eat, "Eat quickly, the food is not delicious when it is cold, don't waste so much deliciousness." ”

They were still sitting, looking at me motionlessly, and my heart was not good, and seeing that they were not moving, I didn't bother to say these words again, and gulped down the white rice in the bowl.

Qinghe looked towards the door from time to time, I knew that she was worried about Aoki, and comforted, "I'll go to him later, you can rest assured, persuade him well, I have no choice but to do it." ”

She nodded obediently.

After eating, I went to the flower stand in the front yard, and I could see Aoki's weak back from a distance, which looked even thinner in the moonlight, and his small body was shrouded in dark shadows, motionless.

Whispering walked over, stood beside him, sighed heavily, and said, "Aoki, if I have to, I won't leave." ”

He was sobbing quietly, but he came back to his senses when he heard my voice, and looked at me sideways, with a stubborn expression, "Even if you want to leave, why can't you take me and my sister with you." ”

"You are really a child, you are arrogant, I am dangerous all the way, I have already dragged down my wife, how can I drag you two innocent people." Laughing, it's really childish, and what he says is really capricious. patted him on the shoulder and said, "Besides, you don't want to revive your family and leave with me, all your previous efforts were in vain." ”

"I'm not a child, I can earn money, I can protect my sister, I can help my son." He grabbed me with his backhand, and my hand hurt from the hard squeeze.

This is even more willful, but he is only twelve years old, and he still says that he is not a child.

I remember that at the beginning, Ziqing also said this, saying that he was not a child and would protect me, and he was not yet twelve years old that year.

I pulled out the aching hand that Aoki was tugging on, and gasped, "You're quite strong." ”

He probably didn't expect me to suddenly divert the topic, and he was stunned for a while.

Seeing his stunned appearance, I couldn't help but laugh again, sure enough, childish, "Aoki, keep this place for me, really, if you want to repay your son, keep this house for me." "Hold this pure land for me, keep this little bit of my own, keep the happiest time I have in six years.

He nodded, heavily, and after that, he said no more, and I knew he would figure it out.
