The thunder tonight was louder than the night before, and the rumbling sound scared Qu Xiaomo so much that he didn't dare to stick his head out from under the quilt.

In the middle of the night, when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a commotion next door, and then it seemed that someone was taken away with his mouth covered, Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to get up to look at the sound when he heard the sound, and gradually quieted down after a while.

The next day at noon, the sky was sunny before taking time to pass, just into the yard to see her familiar with the aunt is talking to the two, saw her coming, mysteriously waved to her to signal the past.

Qu Xiaomo walked over curiously and asked, "Aunt Pan, what's the matter?" ”

"Do you know what happened last night?" Aunt Pan asked her quietly

"I don't know! What happened last night? Qu Xiaomo looked puzzled, although she heard the sound last night, she didn't dare to come out to see.

"You don't even know that you sleep next door?" Aunt Pan looked incredulous

"I don't know! It rained last night, and I went to bed early, what happened? Qu Xiaomo said

Seeing that she really didn't look like she was lying, Aunt Pan let her go and said, "I don't know very well, I heard a few little guys here talking when I got up in the morning, saying that late last night, Minzi was taken away by the guards, and he hasn't come back until now." ”

"What's wrong with him?" Qu Xiaomo asked

"I don't know, but I'm afraid people won't come back." Aunt Pan frowned with a determined face

"Why?"

"I heard that yesterday it was the guard Jin Thirteen beside the master who came to arrest people, and this labor is so bad that the Jin guard is afraid that it will be more auspicious."

Isn't Jin Thirteen the squinting eyes next to the ice cube man? How did this Minzi fall into his hands, and he was still sitting together drinking tea and drinking melon seeds a few days ago.

Thinking that she had eaten melon seeds with him, Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but be a little worried, she wouldn't be implicated, right? It's not that she doesn't care about Minzi, but this newcomer, she doesn't know much about this young man, Toshiko, Zuo is just a friendship that sits together every few days and eats melon seeds, and if it is a big deal, it will be a big wrong.

After more than ten days of trembling, she didn't even dare to go out when the old housekeeper sent someone to inform her of the news that she could leave the house.

On this day, the old housekeeper came to her yard in person and said that the ice cube man wanted to see her, Qu Xiaomo quickly packed up and followed him.

Follow the old housekeeper along the road and walk through the trail corridor, this is the first time I really saw a corner of the Jinfu mansion, I thought that the merchant's house would always be contaminated with some worldliness, but the pavilions in front of me are staggered, clear and elegant, and there are many rockeries of different shapes, large and small lakes, and properly trimmed bonsai in the garden, all of which do not have a trace of the merchant's breath, but are like a wealthy family that has been inherited for a long time.

Qu Xiaomo followed closely behind the old housekeeper, and only after a few curious glances at the beginning, he didn't dare to look around.

Entering a courtyard, the old housekeeper knocked on the door, Qu Xiaomo heard the ice cube man in the room respond, the door opened, followed the old housekeeper to bury his head in, and quietly glanced around, with bookshelves and many calligraphy and paintings, like a study.

After inviting the ice cube, he stood in the middle and didn't dare to speak, only to hear the old housekeeper say: "Young master, the people brought it, and the old slave retreated first." ”

Jin Yu nodded at him, and when the old housekeeper withdrew and went to the house, only the two of them were left, and he waited for a long time and did not see the 10,000-year-old ice cube on the top to speak, Qu Xiaomo hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "The big shopkeeper called the small one, what are the orders?" ”

Jin Yu looked at the person who could only see the top of his head, his brows and undetectable twisted in two, and it took a long time to speak, and his voice was like a cold blade.

"Qu Xiaomo, a native of Qingshu Village, Youzhou, his father Qu Yuntian, his mother Miao, his parents died of illness at the age of ten, and his family was often abused after his uncle occupied the fields, and he escaped from Qingshu Village alone because he couldn't bear it and became a beggar, and after the age of twelve, he gave people odd jobs, until he came to Jiazhou City last year and entered Futai Restaurant as a shopkeeper, yes or no?"

Qu Xiaomo listened to the fact that the situation of his original body had been checked in the slightest, and he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and nodded stubbornly: "Yes, what the big shopkeeper said is completely correct." ”

Jin Yu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "But as far as I know, this Qu family has only one daughter." ”

Qu Xiaomo's scalp suddenly went numb when he heard this, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but he calmed down in an instant, knelt on the ground with a puff, secretly pinched his thigh, and burst into tears, and then cried: "The forgiveness of the big shopkeeper, the young one was sick and weak when he was born in the early years, and there happened to be a wandering monk in the family, saying that the little boy and girl, if you don't want to die early, you can only be raised as a daughter, so there are rumors that the little one is the girl's family, and the uncle beat it because they thought the little one was the girl's family, I was able to buy it at a good price, but I didn't expect it to be a man who couldn't sell it, so I abused the little one. ”

Jin Zhen squinted at the top of her head and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head." ”

Qu Xiaomo raised his head obediently, looked at him for a moment and lowered his eyes, Jin Zhen looked at this beautiful face, although he didn't fully believe what she just said, but this kid was indeed a boy and a girl, if it weren't for the flat chest and holeless earlobes, he really thought that this kid was a girl.

A few days ago, he sent someone out to find Master Zhihuai, and he received a letter from him, and he calculated that he would look for him, so he wrote a letter in advance to inform him that he should keep his advice to him before, and take this kid who picked up the copper coin with him for a minimum of three months, otherwise he was afraid that he would die.

It's really nonsense, but the hexagram calculated by Master Zhihuai over the years has not made the slightest mistake, he still has a lot of things to do, he hasn't found out the enemy, he hasn't avenged his father and mother, he doesn't want to die.

It's just a little two, with the attitude of preferring to believe it or not, he listened to the master's words and saw what evil power this kid could have to prevent disasters for himself.

Qu Xiaomo, who lowered his head, didn't know what Jin Yu was thinking, and he was worried about whether he would not be able to hide it, if he couldn't hide it, how would he defend himself so as not to suffer from eating flesh and skin.

When he was racking his brains to think of various ideas, he heard the ice cube above say, "You will come to serve me tomorrow." ”

what the fuck?

Qu Xiaomo stared at his big eyes in disbelief, what is the trend of the god plot now? Isn't it talking about her background? Why did you let her come and serve him?

Looking at the stunned face, a trace of disgust flashed in the golden sting's eyes, and he waved his hand: "Go out." ”

The flash of disgust was seen by Qu Xiaomo, who came back to his senses, and he was stunned for a moment and bowed respectfully and withdrew.

On the way back, Qu Xiaomo touched her chin and thought hard about Fang Cai's matter, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, from the time she entered the capital to pick up the copper plate.

It seems that she was forced to stay here because she picked up the copper plate, and now the ice cube man obviously hates her, but he still wants her to serve, I think it is also because of the copper plate, what kind of magical thing is that copper plate with a red thread?

Qu Xiaomo thought about it all the way and didn't come up with what kind of treasure the copper plate was, but it was just an extra red line with the usual copper plate, could it be that the marriage line of the ice cube was not successful?

I have to say the truth about Qu Xiaomo!

But obviously she doesn't believe in such a truth, and the most important thing now is to think about how to serve this ice cube comfortably in the future, so as not to lose the position of the second-in-command! If you stay up for six months, you can earn ten taels of silver when you go back, and you can save a few years and save some flowers for a lifetime.

The next day, Qu Xiaomo didn't have to get up together to get full of the smell of, but under the explanation of the old housekeeper, she came to the courtyard where Jin Yu lived early'Cichen Xuan', and those things of dressing and washing were naturally not something she could do, she didn't even get into the house, but she was just pouring washing water, gong buckets, and those miscellaneous little dirty work in the courtyard outside.

After more than ten days of footwashing water and a bucket, Qu Xiaomo felt that this ice cube was very interesting, there was no one waiting in the house, whether it was the maid or the old housekeeper and the squinting ones, they had never stepped into his house, and the whole yard was swaying alone, and those little maids quickly withdrew from the yard after serving tea, not daring to stay at all, and she was the only one who could swing around in the yard with a broom.

It's just that when he encounters the ice cube that happens to come back, he will be slapped with a few blank eyes, Qu Xiaomo was still a little scared a few days ago, but after more than ten days, she became accustomed to it, she has no advantages, the only one is that she is extremely adaptable, otherwise she will not experience this mysterious thing again and can continue to live calmly.

On this day, Qu Xiaomo squatted at the gate of the courtyard as always waiting for the ice cube to come back, this person hadn't been back home for three days, and she didn't dare to ask the old housekeeper, if it was misunderstood as the news of the master, it would not be good.

Two days before entering, I usually waited until late at night and didn't see a ghost, Qu Xiaomo got up and wanted to pat his ass and go back to the house, but he didn't expect to be pulled by someone from behind just about to take a step, and the tip of his nose was filled with a smell of blood, Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but feel cold on the soles of his feet.

Just as he was thinking about whether to turn around and see if the owner of the hand behind him was a human or a ghost, he heard a familiar voice coming: "Go and boil water, I want to bathe." ”

It turned out to be an ice cube man! Scared her to death!

Turning his head, he saw the ice cubes that had straightened his back and opened the door and entered the house, Qu Xiaomo frowned and looked around the courtyard, where did this person come in from when she was guarding the gate of the courtyard? I didn't dare to think too much, so I hurriedly followed his instructions to carry a bucket of water.

Carrying hot water to the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, thinking that the ice cubes inside would go out and carry it in by himself as usual, Qu Xiaomo turned around and went to pick up another bucket, and when he came back, he saw that the bucket was placed in front of the door, and he couldn't help but knock on the door again in confusion, and said loudly: "The big shopkeeper, the water is here!" ”

After waiting for a while, I saw a cold voice come from inside, "Bring it in." ”

Qu Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, and then obediently pushed open the door and buried his head to carry water in, and he didn't dare to look around, he lowered his eyes and said, "Big shopkeeper, this water..."

"Behind the screen."
