In the dream, it was a spring afternoon, Ah Xiu got up from a nap, and when she saw the bright and beautiful sun outside, she wanted to walk in the yard.

She called the maid Zitong to come in and wash and change clothes for herself.

In the mirror, the fifteen-year-old girl is wearing a pleated long dress embroidered with magnolia flowers in lotus pink, and an orchid hairpin in her hair.

It's a pity that I have been depressed for many years, and I am an innocent age, but there is a thick depression that cannot be dissolved between my eyebrows.

"Miss, it's windy outside, your body is just better, why don't you just sit in the house."

Zitong straightened the hem of her clothes and cared about it.

Ah Xiu didn't say a word, pointed to the cloak on the shelf and said, "By the way, Mother Du is back?" ”

Zitong shook his head, took the cloak and put it on Ah Xiu and said, "I wanted Hongshao to go to the front to have a look, but the girl said that she had a stomachache, and she hid in the room to rest without telling you for leave." ”

Zitong was very dissatisfied, but Ah Xiu didn't care about these little things, she thought of Mother Du, and the garden was gone, so she wanted to go to the front yard to see.

"Miss!"

Zitong stopped in front of Ah Xiu: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, if you go to the front yard to find out to the second son, you will punish the slave and maid." ”

Zitong looked embarrassed, and when he mentioned the second son, there was timidity and shyness in his voice.

Ah Xiu frowned slightly, and directly pushed the person away: "Are you the slave of the He family, or the slave of my Zhuo family?" Who can get past me to punish you. ”

After she finished speaking, she walked away quickly, and Zitong had no choice but to follow in a hurry.

This house in Binh Duong is not big, and it took half an hour to get to the front yard.

Ah Xiu walked out of the corridor and saw Du's mother standing outside the hall from a distance, with the big shopkeeper from Binzhou and the second master of the He family in Pingyang.

Looks like there's someone in the hall.

Ah Xiu didn't step forward again, and went to wait in the gazebo not far away.

Over there, Du's mother saw her master coming, said hello to the two of them, and came over.

"Miss, how did you come out?"

Du's mother was distressed, and pinched Ah Xiu's hand, feeling that it was warm and relieved.

Ah Xiu smiled at her, glanced at the hall and asked, "You haven't seen anyone yet?" ”

"It's not that I haven't seen it, it's just that the second son is entangled in affairs, and the old slave didn't say a few words, so he wanted to wait until he was done to ask, and he didn't want the people inside to keep talking about the present."

"Oh? Do you know who is inside? Did someone come back with a message? ”

Ah Xiu looked over there frequently, and Du's mother knew that Miss was thinking about it at a glance.

"I heard that it was a steward in the Hukou Yam Garden, his father went early, and his mother was sick in bed, He Erye recommended him, I wanted him to take care of the newly built mulberry garden and silkworm house here, but people came, but they came to ask for resignation, saying that the old mother at home was unattended, and she was ready to leave and return home."

"No, we're talking. The second son wants to keep people, but I don't know if people are willing or not. ”

Du's mother is a pity, I heard that the young man is young and has a lot of ability, and now it is rare to be promoted, and this kind of thing happened in the family, and the future is delayed.

However, people are good, and it is rare to be so filial.

Mother Du didn't listen to what Mother Du said until the back, knowing that it was not the person she was looking for, her brows furrowed deeply.

After coming here for seven or eight days, how do you know if there is any news of the Yang Steward.

"I see."

Ah Xiu couldn't hide her loss, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the wooden door of the hall open, and a young man in a green shirt bowed down and withdrew from it, saying something to the two people at the door, with a helpless apology.

This is obviously because things have not been worked out, and people have not stayed.

The two were displeased, waving their sleeves with some disdain.

The man didn't explain too much, and left under the leadership of the little servant.

Ah Xiu didn't take it seriously, but just as he turned around, he inadvertently revealed the long scar on the left side of his face.

Ah Xiu's heart was shocked, thinking that this person's life experience is also pitiful, his father died early, his face was ruined, and now his mother is sick in bed, he has to go home to fulfill his filial piety, and his future is gone.

However, as an orphan girl, there is nothing to pity others.

Ah Xiu smiled bitterly, and led the people to prepare to go to the hall, but he didn't want the people inside to walk out quickly.

It was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, his eyebrows and eyes, and his steps were like the wind, and he had the demeanor of a handsome son.

"Yao Yao, why did you come out?"

Yao Yao is the name of Ah Xiu.

He Wenyun looked at her with a worried face, and then glanced at Zitong beside her, with a fierce expression.

Zitong hung her head in fear and silently took a few steps back.

"Cousin, don't blame her, I insisted on coming out."

Ah Xiu covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly.

Seeing this, He Wenyun stepped forward nervously and held her hand and said, "Why are you coughing again, have you drunk the medicine?" I'll send you back. ”

The two of them were close to each other, their postures were ambiguous, Ah Xiu was a little uncomfortable and withdrew half a step, and said with a light smile: "I'm fine, I just had a little discomfort in my throat just now." Cousin, I just wanted to ask, how is the matter with Steward Yang, and what news did the people who sent out bring back? ”

Ah Xiu stopped and looked at him expectantly.

He Wenyun's eyes flashed, and then he said with a trace of sadness on his face: "The people sent out have tried their best, and they have found a few people with the same name and surname, but none of them are him." Yao Yao rest assured, the Zhuo family's ancestral acupuncture method, the eldest cousin will definitely help you find it......"

She wanted to find the big steward who was in charge of the business in the north and south of the family, but it was not for that set of stitches, but she wanted to understand why the famous giant businessman Zhuo family in the south of the Yangtze River owed others hundreds of thousands of taels of silver overnight, and also reached out dozens of embroidery rooms in the family.

In the year of the accident, Ah Xiu was still young, but now that he thinks about it, it is strange everywhere.

"Yao Yao, Yao Yao?"

Someone patted him on the shoulder, Ah Xiu came back to his senses, and then heard He Wenyun say again: "Don't worry, when the embroidery room here is set up, I will go out to find someone in person." ”

"By the way, Yao Yao, I asked people to send those embroideries two days ago, have you read them carefully? They are all unique embroiderers of the Zhuo family, and the stitches can be disassembled and can be explored thoroughly? ”

There was a light in the man's eyes that could not be ignored, and Ah Xiu shook his head lightly: "Cousin, wait a little longer, my head is still a little dizzy." ”

"Yao Yao, don't worry, I'll wait for ......"

was one of the few in-laws, but every time she remembered the He family, Ah Xiu was so disgusted that she wanted to gag.

The sound in his ears gradually faded away, and by the time Ah Xiu woke up from the dream, the chickens in the backyard had already crowed twice.

She rolled over and sat up slowly, turned her head to look at the person on the bed next to her, and remembered the bits and pieces of the dream.
