Song Tian returned to the room, and when he approached the door, he happened to meet Song Ercai, who was about to go out.

"Dad, you're going out?"

It was so late, Song Tian was a little curious.

"I'll just go for a walk."

Song Er didn't want to go out, but to find his son. Now that the person is back, he doesn't have to go to the West Chamber anymore, and his son knows how to measure it.

Song Tian nodded, said that he didn't have to go back to the academy in the next few days, and went back to the room.

On the side of the West Chamber, Ah Xiu has already bathed today, and he washed it casually and went to the bed to rest.

She was also a little tired from the long journey in the past few days, so she fell asleep on the bed.

It's just that it's not stable, and when the lights go out in each room, she walks into a dream again.

In the dream, she was looking up at a plum tree with her sleeves folded.

The snow has not melted, and the plum is half-open and half-closed, which is particularly beautiful.

Ah Xiu depicted in her heart little by little, and was about to go back to the room to draw a few patterns, when Du's mother came out of the stove room.

"Miss, the meal is ready. Come in, it's cold outside. ”

Three years have passed, and Du's mother's temples have grown gray hair.

She called Miss in her mouth, but Ah Xiu had already pulled up the woman's hair in a bun.

Coming to this small city in the west from Linjiang, in order to avoid trouble, Ah Xiu pulled his own hair.

The Zhuo family business is not established, and the revenge cannot be avenged, who does she marry and what son-in-law does she recruit.

After eating, Du's mother went out and took the manuscripts that Ah Xiu had drawn in the past two months.

At night, Du's mother returned from outside, carrying a small wooden box and a letter written to her by Wei Zhou.

"Miss, according to the old slave, Wei Gongzi is still good, and he has helped us a lot, so it's better to ......"

In order to get rid of the He family, Ah Xiu secretly cooperated with Wei Zhou.

One provided tricks, and the other paid money, trying to send the master and servant to leave Linjiang and come to settle down here.

Wei Zhou has been here a few times in the past few years, and it is a man with strong blood and strength, and the meaning of coming from thousands of miles is self-evident.

Ah Xiu only had gratitude to him, and when she pressed it, she promised that as long as the Zhuo family's revenge was avenged, she could marry if the family business could not be established.

The enmity of the Zhuo family, when Master Zhuo and the second son were halfway through the delivery, they were killed by mountain bandits.

At that time, the matter was also reported to the official, but after so many years, there was no news.

When she was young, Ah Xiu didn't know, but now she is eighteen or nineteen people, and it is ridiculous to think that some robbers and silver robbers are mountain bandits.

She knew that the matter was related to the He family, including the death of her mother, the death of Du Juan, and the eldest brother who died unexpectedly in Beijing.

Since the beginning of her cooperation with Wei Zhou, she has targeted the He family, but Wei Zhou has brought her more unexpected news in the past two years.

Mother Du is still reassuring that the Zhuo family is gone, and she doesn't want to watch Miss waste her life like this.

"Mother Du, I'm hungry."

Ah Xiu knew that she was doing it for her own good, but there were some things that she couldn't say clearly, and it wasn't something she could do with her nod.

As soon as she heard that she was hungry, Mother Du really didn't say anything more, and turned her head and went to the stove room.

Under the lamp, Ah Xiu finished reading the letter, and her brows gradually tightened.

Wei Zhou sent her news about the shopkeeper Yang, as well as the Zhuo family's needle score.

It turned out that the Cao family, which suddenly opened a number of embroidery buildings in the Linjiang area a year ago, was operated and managed by the shopkeeper Yang behind the embroidery workshop.

The Cao family, with the craftsmanship of the Zhuo family, is now fighting with the He family and the embroidery shop in the south of the Yangtze River, at that time she wondered if the shopkeeper Yang was behind, but she couldn't find anyone, and she didn't know where their embroidery workshop was, and there was no breakthrough point.

This time, Wei Zhou sent her a message, and Ah Xiu felt that she should take a trip.

After dinner, Ah Xiu told Du's mother about the plan, she was going to a place called Liangzhou to find out the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Yang and the needle book.

Mother Du persuaded her, "Miss, since Gongzi Wei also knows the news, he will definitely let people go over to find it, so it's not too late for us to wait for them to have news." ”

Ah Xiu shook her head, she had already made up her mind.

After the beginning of the year, Ah Xiu found a caravan outside, and quickly packed up some simple and soft and set off.

It's not too far to go to Liangzhou, and it can be reached in half a month.

Before leaving, she bought a carriage and hired the old man in the next yard as a coachman.

Just after the New Year, there were not many caravans on the road, but there were many students traveling together.

Ah Xiu asked only to find out that he was going to Beijing to take the exam, and the triennial exam was in mid-February, and now it was the time to go north.

The Zhuo family has been in business for generations, and few people have taken the road of science, Ah Xiu doesn't know much about these, but looking at those Pianpian Lang sleeping in the open and sleeping in the open, and going thousands of miles to Beijing, he sighed.

At night, the caravan settled at a small inn in the town.

Ah Xiu entered the door and asked for an upper room, paid the silver and was about to leave, when two guests came to the hotel.

She glanced around, her figure froze.

"Miss?"

Mother Du was surprised, and she was a little surprised when she looked at Ah Xiu's line of sight, but she quickly helped Ah Xiu and said, "Let's go." ”

The master and servant quickly went up the stairs under the leadership of Xiao Er.

When he was about to turn the corner, Ah Xiu couldn't help it and looked back again.

"Mother Du, it's that person, I remember the injury on his face."

Ah Xiu whispered.

Du's mother nodded, "It's him." It seems that it should be going to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

At the He family in Pingyang, Ah Xiu saw him from afar, and he came to the He family to take care of his sick mother at that time.

Now that he can go to Beijing Middle School to catch the exam, I don't know if his mother is better or gone.

Ah Xiu sighed.

Unknown, I don't know my surname, and I have seen it from a distance, she didn't put it in her heart, how did she know that when she set off the next day, the two of them quarreled with the inn.

Ah Xiu was about to get into the car, but when she saw that the two of them were taken aback by the little two sticks in the inn, she hurriedly asked Du's mother to step forward to stop her and ask what was wrong.

The innkeeper was a little rude, saying that the two had to rely on them for losing their burdens and money, so there was the scene just now.

The two people who were beaten were slightly injured, but when it came to the money, they bit the inn.

There was no money halfway to Beijing to catch the exam, and the future of the two of them was about to be delayed for many years, so they naturally would not stop there.

After a while, one of them quarreled with the innkeeper again, and threatened to report to the official.

Being in a foreign land and rushing to take the exam, reporting to the official is nothing more than a waste of time.

Ah Xiu sighed, took out fifty taels of silver from the baggage, and asked Du's mother to give it to the man with the scar on his face.

In the vast sea of people, I think that seeing Ah Xiu again is also a kind of fate, so I can help it.

After a while, Du's mother came back, followed by a man with a scar on his face.

Ah Xiu opened the curtain to see him, and said: "The righteousness of raising your hand, the son doesn't have to worry about it." If he goes to high school one day, he will be an official and benefit the people. ”

The man was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and said, "What Madame hopes for is what Song wants." Today's righteousness, if there is fate, will be rewarded. ”

As he spoke, he took pen and paper and wrote an IOU, and returned forty taels, receiving only ten taels of silver.

This man is proud.

Ah Xiu took the IOU and looked at it, and saw that it was written, Hekou Town, Pingyang County, Song Tian.
