Ximo really planned to do this.

He coughed softly, making the little room even more silent. Autumn pattern also had a premonition of something, and it was also cramped. She stood aside, teacup in her hand, her face flushed.

Ximo spoke, and he stood up with a very solemn expression. He confirmed his heart, and he had autumn lines in his heart. Ximo decided to confess.

"Autumn pattern, I have something to tell you." His voice was soft, but firm.

"What?"

Autumn Wen felt something was wrong, and her neck kept low.

"I like you."

"What?"

In fact, she could hear what Ximo said, and this "what" came from instinct, and it was an instinct she wanted to hide. Uncle likes her? Her heart pounded when she listened, but she wasn't surprised. It's as if this sentence "I like you" was so familiar to her that the uncle said to her a few months ago.

Of course, Ximo hadn't said it before. He just let Qiu Wen realize from his usual words and deeds that he liked her and cared about her. This kind of liking is not the master's doting on pets, the appreciation of flowers and utensils, but the admiration of a man for a woman.

That's right, it's admiration. Love.

Aside from Qiu Wen's identity, she has many advantages.

But Ximo felt that it was not because of her merits that he was moved by her. Even if Autumn Pattern has such and such shortcomings, I believe that I will make the same choice, that is: I will like her the same.

It's hard to tell.

Like someone, it's so indescribable.

Ximo also felt incredible. In his twenty-three years of life, it is not without the admiration of women. During this period, Liu Jianran was also introduced, and there were also matchmakers. But no matter which house it is, whether you have seen that girl or not, Ximo is an elm pimple, and she doesn't understand the amorous feelings.

The time is also, the momentum is also.

If he is not at home all the year round, he will not encounter autumn patterns. It was just in the winter that he spent most of his time living in a grass hut and living in a simple place, which gave him the opportunity to become familiar with autumn patterns and understand autumn patterns.

No, not absolutely. Fate came, even if he came back once in a while, he would still notice her.

After all, she's so special and so radiant. The maids in Shifu all wear the same dresses, shoes and socks, and the autumn patterns are the same. But among a group of people, she still can't hide her outstanding.

"Autumn pattern, I like you, can you hear me?" Ximo said softly, grabbing her hand gently. Both of their heartstrings fluttered slightly.

How not to hear?

Qiu Wen confirmed the uncle's heart, and after being moved, he was calm. How do you like it, and what do you dislike? Between her and her uncle, there is an insurmountable chasm. Otherwise, the master wouldn't be so angry.

She is a normal woman, and although she has suffered, she has never lost her enthusiasm for life. Uncle likes her, but she doesn't dare to like uncle. She and her uncle are always just respectful.

If one day, she can be a free person, and she can be self-sufficient, and she can have a serious livelihood, perhaps, she will seriously consider the words of her uncle.

Qiu Wen smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I heard it." ”

"You hear me. So, can you tell me, do you care about me too? Ximo's voice was so soft that it almost melted, and he held her hand stubbornly, not wanting to let go.

Qiu Wen struggled slightly, but she couldn't break free, she didn't want to break her uncle's heart, but she still wanted to try her best to maintain her self-esteem. "Uncle, don't forget that I'm just a minion."

Ximo frowned slightly. His heart ached.

Yes, Qiuwen is right, she is a minion, not a commoner, and she is still recorded as a slave. What kind of careful person is Ximo? If you want to leave, how can you bear to wronged her again?

"You're not a minion. To tell you the truth, I burned your deed of sale a long time ago. ”

"Burned?"

"It's burned. It burned all the way and turned into ashes. Ximo's voice was still very tender. Qiu Wen didn't know that since she was brought back to the grass house from the firewood house, Ximo learned of her grievances and burned her deed of sale that night.

He didn't want to say it, because he felt that the time was not ripe, and he was also worried that it would be leaked and make the old lady unhappy.

But now it can be said.

He took matters into his own hands and restored Akimoru to his free body.

Autumn Pattern couldn't believe her ears. Is this true? Of course it's true. Uncle is a man of his word. Is she really free? Akimo's eyes filled with tears of excitement, and her voice choked.

"Uncle, am I really free?"

"Of course. Before I met you, I had already met Master Pure Heart, and I had explained everything. She doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”

Autumn Moon didn't shake her head, nor did she nod. So in what capacity did she take care of the upcoming Master Miaoyuan? Moreover, if her wife knows about her regaining her free body, will she be angry?

She was grateful to her uncle, but she didn't want her uncle to be troubled by her again.

Ximo saw through what Qiu Wen was thinking, so he told her: "This is also what my mother agreed." Since you can't go back to Shifu, what's the use of forcing a slave status? So crooked, you're free. Master Miaoyuan is here, you can just take care of her for a few days as a layman. There were others who helped too. If you don't want to take care of it, let it be. ”

"Madame knows?" Autumn Pattern's heart was surprised and delighted.

"Not bad. I just haven't told you yet. ”

This sentence reassured Qiu Wen's heart, and she hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am willing to serve Master Miaoyuan." No matter how withdrawn and eccentric people are, there is always a place for empathy. If I treat her well, she won't embarrass me. ”

Ximo's heart was even more pitying.

"I heard my mother say that this Master Miaoyuan also experienced great wealth in his early years, but I don't know why he reached the point of becoming a monk."

Ximo is leaving.

Before leaving, he didn't need to be clear about Akiwen's intentions.

He could see everything in her eyes. Eyes don't deceive people. Only it is solemn, so be careful. It's better to wait for yourself to come back from Yanshan.

Although Qiu Wen is reluctant, she will not stop her uncle from doing her own thing.

"Uncle, do they know?"

Ximo shook his head.

"That ......"

"I have left a letter, and it has been delivered. I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself. Ximo took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Qiu Wen, "Take it, if there is any emergency, it's better not to ask for help." ”

Akimo's eyes were wet.

"Uncle, if you live here, I will also help them with their work. All the food and drink are ready-made, and no money is needed. ”

"Take it, you must have silver on you, or I won't worry." Ximo insisted on asking Qiuwen to accept it.

"Not really."

"If you don't accept it, then I'm angry?" Ximo pretended to be angry.

This is called autumn tattoos, how can you bear it? She had no choice but to take it. However, this silver autumn pattern will not be used in the slightest. She has a way of making money. There is a lot of open space in this Panlong Temple, and she can help grow vegetables. Even if the land is not hers, she can always get some of the money from the vegetables sold. She can also embroider and tailor clothes, which family needs someone to make clothes, she recommended herself. God doesn't die of hunger and laziness.

When Ximo saw that Qiu Wen accepted it, he showed a relieved look: "Okay." Then I'll go. It was nearly dusk, and it was just the right time to leave. ”

Autumn Pattern frowned slightly, she couldn't figure out what it meant. Why is it late that it is suitable for a long journey? Qiu Wen only hates that he is not a man, even if he is as big as Qing'er, and he is next to the uncle, because he is a manservant, it is cheap. It's just that I'm a woman. For a moment, she blurted out that she might as well disguise herself and follow him away.

But she is also a person who remembers her commitments.

After promising his wife and uncle, he would stay and take care of Master Miaoyuan, so he couldn't break his promise.

"It's getting dark, and there are few pedestrians on the road, so I'm hurrying and hurrying. There are many inconveniences during the day. Ximo gave the reason.

Qiu Wen asked again: "Uncle, from Jiangcheng to Yanshan, are you all alone?" ”

"Not really. Out of Jiangcheng, there are still people who meet me. ”

Autumn pattern is a little relieved.

Ximo walked with a few righteous warriors in front of the rivers and lakes, and he and the secret guards trained by Jian Dye disguised themselves as ordinary people, and also left the outskirts of Jiangcheng when night was approaching.

Ximo asked the diviner that in the past ten days, there has been no rain in the prefectures and counties near Jiangcheng. It is inconvenient to travel on rainy days. Ximo just wanted to take advantage of these good days and lead the dark guards to walk dozens of miles.

He didn't tell Autumn Pattern these words.

The more she knew, the more bad it was for her.

Ximo is really gone.

This night, the autumn pattern tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

In the dream, it is also full of the shadow of Ximo. She muttered Ximo. Where's the uncle? Don't get sick halfway and delay the uncle's trip! She was in a daze and stayed up until dawn.

The cat has been sleeping on a chair in the corner. It was dawn, and the strings meowed a few times, and Autumn Pattern woke up.

She was devastated.

In these days, she has become accustomed to her uncle's presence.

The uncle is gone, and it seems that her soul has followed him. Yes, she is no longer the uncle's maid. She is a civilian, a flat-headed commoner, even if she sees her adoptive mother and brother again, she can hold her chest up and pretend not to know. She even wanted to change her name, but she also called it smoothly when she thought of her uncle's "Autumn Pattern Autumn Pattern", so she gave up the idea of wanting to change it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The one who knocked on the door was a little nun, who recited "Amitabha" and said, "Sister Qiuwen, the abbot of Pure Heart asked me to call my sister to dinner." ”

Autumn straightened her clothes and opened the door. A little nun around the age of thirteen with clear eyebrows smiled at her, and Qiu Wen suddenly felt kind.

Uncle is gone. She had to face everything alone, because she didn't know how long she was going to stay here, or if she was going to be careful.

The little nun had never seen her, but she called her sister, thinking that it was the order of the abbot of Pure Heart.

"Sister, can you wash up? Come with me, the breakfast kitchen is over there. The little nun was very enthusiastic, she was young, but she called "I" to Qiu Wen, and Qiu Wen couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Okay, then I'll follow you, and let me take it." Autumn pattern holds the skewers in her arms.
