Ximo got up and looked at a small window outside the room, and the sycamore outside the window was growing just right. I don't want to think that in the small courtyard behind this hotel, there is a luxuriant green tree. Ximo was a little happy when he saw it. There is still the chirping of insects on the plane tree, but I don't know what the name is.

"Uncle, what is it for?" Autumn Moon asked again.

Ximo turned around and looked at her carefully: "That's because there is an agreement between my father and my mother. Before my mother went to Panlong Temple, she agreed with my father that no matter what happened in the future, even if the sky fell, she would keep me safe. Xi Mo thought for a while, and then said, "I haven't been able to understand why my mother and father have such an agreement?" However, according to my mother, my father did not agree with it. In fact, I also wondered, as a father, shouldn't he do his best to protect his children? I think there's something hidden in it, but I don't know. ”

Autumn Pattern was also surprised.

Uncle is confiding his heart to her, and the meaning is different from the past. It seems that in the eyes of the uncle, she is not just the identity of a maid, but really a confidante of his.

Qiu Wen listened carefully, and also felt that something was wrong. "Uncle, didn't you ask why? However, even so, I was the only one who started the matter. It was you who insisted on helping me, uncle, so we came out together. The lord didn't pick you up. ”

"It's all the same."

"It's really different."

"I say the same, it's the same. Anyway, I've already left the Shifu. Good girl, it's getting late, why don't you go to sleep, and I'll call you again tomorrow. Ximo pointed to the next door, "I'll be next door to you tonight, don't worry about anything." I have instructed the shopkeeper that you don't have to go downstairs to eat tomorrow morning, and the shopkeeper will bring the food straight back to your room. When I come knocking on the door, we can leave the inn and rush to Panlong Temple. ”

Autumn grain a little head.

She felt that her fate had been closely tied to her uncle, and in this life and this life, she was afraid that she would be involved in endless entanglements. This is something she doesn't want to, but she is willing. If it comes, it will be safe. Whatever the uncle says, it's what it is. Other than that, she didn't have anything else to think of.

After Ximo left, Qiu Wen was relieved.

She opened the window a little, put her hand on her cheek, leaned back on the bed, and silently thought about things. The uncle said that when Mrs. saw her, she would not be embarrassed at all. But now she is in an embarrassing situation, and those who know the details think that she and the uncle are in cahoots, and they have done something wrong, and they have been kicked out by the parents of Shifu. The reputation has gone bad. Madame pushed herself over to serve the uncle to eat and drink, but things turned out like this, Madame really won't be angry?

Autumn Pattern is nervous again.

In a daze, she fell asleep.

She had a strange dream. It's really weird. In the dream, a baby girl accidentally slipped off the carriage and lay on the ground crying. A young beautiful woman sat in the car, helpless and crying anxiously. It was a wagon for refugees. There was her husband in the car, as well as several servants who were waiting. The beautiful woman wanted to get out of the car and take the baby girl away, but time was pressing, and behind the carriage was a group of soldiers with knives chasing after her. The baby girl fell in the grass, but because the grass was soft. The ground was soft, and the ground was sandy, and the baby girl was fortunate not to be injured. As if he knew that he couldn't cry at this moment, as soon as he cried, the soldiers searching nearby would find out. The carriage gradually moved away, kicking up a cloud of dust, and I wondered if the people in the carriage had escaped the pursuit of the vicious soldiers behind it.

In the middle of the night, Autumn Pattern woke up suddenly.

She muttered to herself, cold sweat dripping: "How could you have this dream? ”

It seems that the place in the dream is the same as where I have seen it. Where? Qiu Wen thought about it and felt that it was on a barren slope not far from his adoptive mother's house. The place was uninhabited, and the weeds were lush all year round, and in the summer, a few sturgeon would occasionally emerge from the place. Large pumpkins. I don't want to, I don't want to go down. Autumn Wen shook his head, thinking about it day and dreaming at night. Too frightened during the day, only at night will I have these strange dreams.

Following.

She looked out the window and saw a moist patch under the plane tree, mixed with the leaves that had been blown off, and it had rained at night. The rain was not small, but it stopped now.

There was a knock on the door, and the voice was soft.

Autumn Pattern hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed, and came over to open the door.

Outside the door, there is a kind face of the shopkeeper. She held a plate in her hand, and inside the plate was a steaming breakfast. Qiu Wen glanced at a bowl of white rice porridge, a few fried dumplings, two fragrant buns, two side dishes, and two duck eggs.

The shopkeeper came in and put the plate on the table, but she stood with a smile and a smile on her face, as if she didn't want to leave immediately. Autumn Pattern became restrained, lowered her head, and twisted slightly.

The shopkeeper said, "Girl, the food is not good." If you dislike it, I'll bring it to you. ”

Qiu Wen hurriedly said: "That's good, thank you." ”

The shopkeeper said again: "Girl, yesterday my man said that you are a good friend of the uncle of the Shi Mansion, aren't you?" You came out single-handedly just to elope? The shopkeeper was very curious, and when she thought about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she was busy and changed her words, "Ouch, how can I say that I am good?" You and Uncle Nashi are clearly in love, so you can't take care of anything, it's a pity! Girl, you don't know, my man was a frequent visitor to the casino, and now that he has money, he will run out, and I have suffered for many years with him. Fortunately, he got Uncle Shi's enlightenment and realized the truth of being a man, so he knelt down and thanked Uncle Shi, accepted the silver he received, washed his hands in a golden basin, and opened this inn wholeheartedly. Business, it's just like that, it's not bad, but it can always be sustained for a living. Speaking of which, I can have this comfortable life, Uncle Shi is my lucky star! Now, I have met Fuxing's sweetheart, and naturally I am also treated as Fuxing. She was attentive and verbose, and said a lot.

Qiu Wen knew that she confused her identity, so she calmly explained: "Shopkeeper, I'm not my uncle's friend, you misunderstood, I'm just one of his handmaids." He is the master, and I am the subordinate. ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, she looked at the autumn pattern and kept looking at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she sighed, "The girl has a good appearance of pink makeup and jade, others don't know, I must think that the girl is the lady of which family, the girl is really a maid?" Don't you make fun of me? "The shopkeeper still doesn't believe it.

Qiu Wen smiled bitterly: "At this time, why should I tell a lie? Uncle and I, the reason why we left Shifu was for other reasons. My uncle and I didn't elope. Uncle is the master, where he goes, I, who is a girl, will naturally follow. ”

The shopkeeper also understood, she glanced at Qiu Wen deeply, and still smiled slightly: "Then I won't bother you." I'll bring you breakfast here, and my man is also delivering meals to Uncle Shi next door, and our husband and wife are acting together. The steamed bun is extremely delicious, and the tender crab roe wrapped in it is commonly known as the crab roe bun. The fried dumplings, the filling inside is shrimp, and the side dishes are pickled by myself, although they are homely, but the taste is not bad. ”

Autumn Moon thanked him again.

The shopkeeper said: "Although you say that you are a maid, if you want me to say, it is difficult to determine everything in the world." The uncle left the house in a hurry, but he didn't forget to take you with him, which shows that you are a weight in his heart. I also heard that Uncle Shi is extremely decent. If you follow him, even if you are only an aunt, it is better than ordinary people to be the eldest lady of the main house. ”

When Autumn Pattern listens to it, it is not good to pick up the stubble.

She understood: This shopkeeper lady has received the favor of the uncle, and she thinks of his goodness in her heart, and only prays that he will be smooth in trouble. Love the house and Wu, and even the subordinates in front of him are all valued.

After the shopkeeper left, Qiu Wenfang sat down and ate breakfast slowly. The rooms are a little smaller, but they are very soundproof. Last night, Uncle was next door to her, but she didn't hear a sound from Uncle's room all night. In fact, Qiu Wen didn't know, last night Ximo asked the shopkeeper to borrow a horse to go to the suburbs, and the heavy rain came back in the middle of the night, and his clothes were wet. Thoroughly, it was the shopkeeper who sent a change of clothes, and washed and baked Ximo's clothes and sent them back to the room. Ximo thanked him, but the shopkeeper didn't even say no.

Ximo wanted to take Qing'er with him. But the large number of people makes it inconvenient. Qing'er stayed in the grass and had his use. There is also Aunt Wen in the grass house. Yesterday, his father Shi Yuan loudly reprimanded him, and Aunt Wen couldn't bear to hear it, so she wanted to come over to help persuade her. But who knows, when she stepped out of the door with her front foot, her back foot was tripped by something, and she fell to the ground with a "bang", and her left leg was injured. What he didn't know was that because he didn't have time to instruct, he had just walked with the autumn pattern on his front foot, Shi Yuan was angry, and even called all the people who served in the cottage, and kept a few young and strong men to guard the door, and the rest were sent to other courtyards on errands.

Seeing this, the Zhen family knew that the time had come, and it was no longer interesting to rely on the Shifu. She knelt down in front of Shi Yuan, saying that she was old, her memory was not good, and she always made mistakes in her work. Instead of offending people intentionally or unintentionally, it is better to take the initiative to go. Zhen has accumulated some silver, and last time he wanted to send a sword dye, but he didn't ask for a sword dye, and Zhen kept it by himself. Now, when the time is ripe, she is going to find her godson. The godson has already sent a letter, and he follows a prince and follows him as a clerk. Liu Jianran didn't say it explicitly, but Zhen already felt very good. This is all mixed up with the prince, and those who are not clerks are considered to be outstanding. She was happy. As soon as I was happy, I had the heart to go. In addition, she has already been on a par with Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun is Shi Yuan's favorite concubine, and she is always unlucky. The uncle left, and Qiu Wen followed, and she was also very discouraged, and she couldn't stay anymore.

Shi Yuan was very refreshed, waved his hand, and signaled her to be casual.

Then Aunt Sun won't do it. Even if Zhen wants to leave, she has to be insulted and ridiculed by her, so that she can turn the situation back and earn her face back, so she is willing. The people sent out by Aunt Sun came back empty-handed, only saying that they couldn't find Uncle and Qiuwen, and they didn't know where to hide. Aunt Sun sprinkled all this sulking on Zhen's body.

"Mother Zhen, how can you go? You're the busiest man in the grass! You're leaving, it's lonely. As for me, it's boring. In the end, when I met, you scolded me, ridiculed me, and quarreled with me, even if it was sarcastic and ridiculed with a loud voice, I didn't care. After all, I'm just an aunt, and you are an old slave who has been in this historical mansion for twenty years, and in terms of qualifications, I am not as good as you! I deserve to be arranged by you! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yuan immediately became angry, and he slammed the teacup and splashed the tea all over his body: "Nonsense! You are Yuquan's mother, the second lady in this house! How can an aged grandmother compare to you? ”
