Because Axiu was a little seasick, the group was by land.

The trip was not fast, half as slow as usual.

Cao Yi personally led people to escort him, and there were as many as 30 escorts.

In addition, there was no concealment of his whereabouts, and everyone knew that this was last year's Mrs. Xinke Zhuang's wife who went home to worship her ancestors, and from time to time someone invited her to deliberately curry favor.

Ah Xiu will pick some people to make friends with, and sometimes stop for a while.

It's been safe and sound along the way.

When she arrived in Linjiang, Du's mother and her group waited at the city gate for a long time.

The master and servant haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and Du's mother knew that Ah Xiu was pregnant and wanted to take care of her in Beijing, but Ah Xiu didn't let her, and still let her preside over the overall situation in the embroidery workshop.

Du's mother's appearance has not changed much from the last time she went to Beijing, and her body is also very tough.

Du Juan is also a little woman in her early twenties, and she looks a lot more mature.

Wang Da Niu was still so strong and dark, holding his daughter and son in his hands, and asked the two of them to salute Ah Xiu.

The two doll daughters are like Du Juan, with a pair of apricot eyes and bright eyes, and the son is like Wang Daniu, with a dark complexion, and he looks a little silly.

Ah Xiu couldn't help but feel sour when she looked at Du Juan's family.

Seeing this, Du's mother hurriedly persuaded her that they were all double-body people, so she had to pay attention.

Next to him, Chang Shi and Chang Pingping were laughing out loud when they talked about something happy.

The aunt and nephew haven't seen each other for more than two years, and Xiao Yu'er is the first time to see this cousin.

Chang Pingping saw that the little girl was good-looking, but it was so rare that she couldn't do it, and she said that her two skins were very good, which made her break her heart.

Chang Pingping and Lu Bao also have two children, she is now working as a housekeeper and embroidery lady in the embroidery workshop, and her dress is different from that in Hekou Town, and she looks a little aggressive, and the temperament of the whole person comes out.

Lu Bao works in the embroidery building, and now he is also in the position of steward, and the person in the blue brocade robe has matured a lot.

This time, Lu Wei also came back, and the brother and sister looked at each other with excitement for a while.

The group laughed and laughed, and they were very happy.

Back in Zhuo's house, Du's mother asked people to renovate two or three tables of good dishes, and this reunion dinner was eaten for half an afternoon.

Later, Chang Pingping took Chang's family around the house, and Ah Xiu went back to the yard to rest when she was not in good spirits.

Mother Du stayed by her side, entered the door and sent Chunliu out to find the little sisters of the year, helped Ah Xiu pinch her shoulders and said, "Miss, when are you going to go to the ancestral tomb?" ”

"I'll go after two days of rest."

Mother Du nodded, "The old slaves on the He family's side are paying attention to the situation. Now the family lives in Hongwei Village in the eastern suburbs, and not long ago I heard that they wanted to recruit two embroidery girls in the village, but the old slave sent someone to say hello, but this did not happen. ”

There was a shallow smile on the corner of Du's mother's mouth, the He family had fallen, as long as they were there, it was not so easy to get up.

Ah Xiu nodded, and when the He family fell, she sent a letter to Du's mother, asking her to pay attention to the He family's side and not let them have a chance to turn over.

Although the men were taking care of the business when the He family won the embroidery workshop, Ah Xiu knew that an old mother next to Sifang Ou and Mao had learned some Zhuo family acupuncture.

Now that the people in the fourth room have been distributed, she is afraid that the old mother next to the Mao family will use those stitches to do something for the He family.

Although he can't afford any wind and waves, he doesn't want to spend some money even if he wants to spend it.

She remembered all the things that the He family had done to her in the dream, and now it was time to return it little by little.

"By the way, does He Wenyun have any news?"

Du's mother shook her head, "The government has issued a general order, but there is no news, and I am afraid that I have escaped from Linjiang." ”

Ah Xiu frowned, "This person's temperament is fierce, it's better for you to be younger here in the future." ”

"I know."

The two talked in detail about worshipping their ancestors for a few days, and then Ah Xiu went to bed and slept for a while.

After resting in the house for a few days, taking advantage of the good weather, Ah embroidered a plain white dress and no ornaments on his head this morning, and went out of the city with a group of people.

Chang left his daughter in the house and accompanied her over.

The ancestral tomb of the Zhuo family is on the outskirts of the city, and it takes about half an hour for the carriage to reach the bottom of the mountain, and there is a short road behind that needs to be walked.

Du's mother and Du Juan helped Ah Xiu step by step, and then went to the cemetery, she asked her subordinates to remove the grass, put on the incense burner and candles, and knelt on the futon to worship silently.

Last year's death day didn't come, and this year she was pregnant and couldn't have come.

Just thinking of the fall of the He family, she couldn't help but want to come over and tell her relatives the good news.

"Mother, you can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven. Although Mao Shuyi is still alive in this world, now that the He family is ruined, she is undoubtedly alive in the world with a peasant woman. Without the status of a noble lady, the kind of days of eating chaff and soil are also a kind of torture for her. ”

Ah Xiu bowed and slowly got up under Chang's support.

The group quickly went back along the road they came, and when they were halfway there, Du's mother opened the curtain and pointed to Ah Xiu: "It's that village, and the He family bought a yard in the village after it was copied." ”

Ah Xiu glanced at it, it was not much different from an ordinary small village, except that mulberry trees were planted on the surrounding mountains, and the village usually made a living by selling silkworm cocoons.

"Let's go."

Ah Xiu was talking, but he saw some shouting and scolding coming from the entrance of the village not far away, and a woman was chased out and fell on the road looking very embarrassed.

"Shameless thing, actually seducing my man. Big dog, give my mother a hard beating. ”

The boy who was called the big dog waved a wooden strip two fingers wide, and without saying a word, he beckoned to the woman.

"Oh, I've killed someone. Liu Mu's family, what is your man, I am the wife of the He family, he is not worthy of carrying shoes for me like that, you don't want to spew blood. ”

The woman retorted as she fled.

Liu Mujia took a sip, "The He family, you are still dreaming of a rich wife, and you don't want to see what you are like now." Big dog, hit my mother. ”

There was chaos at the entrance of the village, and many people ran out to see the excitement and pointed at a few people.

At this time, a woman in a blue jacket ran out, stepped forward and pulled away the big dog, pounced on the woman and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

"Wenxiang, my mother is fine."

Mao smiled at his daughter, but the tears in his eyes came out, and his face was swollen with five fingerprints on it.

He Wenxiang looked distressed for a while, turned his head and said to the woman: "Auntie, why did you let people beat my mother, be careful if you hurt people like this, we will report to the official." ”

"Reporter?"

The woman seemed to hear some kind of joke, "Go, report." Let the official master comment and see if there is a slut in the village who does not abide by women's morals. ”

The woman's words were very ugly, and He Wenxiang's face turned red, it was obvious that her pampered mansion lady couldn't fight these village women.

"Wen Xiang, don't pay attention to this crazy woman, let's go back."

Mao didn't want his daughter to suffer, so he was about to leave, but he heard the sound of broken horses' hooves.
