The two guards tied the horses to the tree at the door, I beckoned them to take the things off the shelves and move them to the yard, the guard who drove the car was called Li Xu, and the one who rode the horse seemed to be called Da Chun, I heard them all call each other like this, I said to them: "Li Xu, Da Chun, you put things in and come out and wait for me", they said: "Yes", said from me in first, the yard is quite big, there are three thatched houses in the north and facing south, and there are also grass huts in the yard I saw that there is a stove inside It should be a kitchen, Li Xu and Da Chun They carried things to the courtyard, I looked at my sister-in-law who was busy going out to fetch water and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy yet, where do you think they should put these things?" The sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Put it in the house!" After they put their things away, I said to them, "Go and help my sister-in-law fetch water!" The sister-in-law hurriedly said: "No need, I'll just go by myself", Li Xu smiled: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, this is the work of our men, where are you going to fetch water?" The sister-in-law said to the eldest child: "Yaozong, you take your uncle there!" I'm really bothering you", Li Xu and the others went out with buckets and poles.

The sister-in-law said, "Come into the house and sit!" We followed her into the house, she wiped the stool for us to sit and said embarrassedly: "It's really sluggish, not even a mouthful of hot tea", I smiled: "It's okay, we are not here to beg for tea", the child does not want to stay in the house all the time, Xiaolan had to take him out to play, look at the display in the house to know that the owner is a meticulous person, although the bed cover is broken but very tidy, it is not easy for the sister-in-law with three children to do this, the sister-in-law said: "A few days not at home is a little dirty, let you see the smile", I smiled and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, haven't you farmed?" As we walked, I saw people ploughing their fields! The sister-in-law sighed: "A few years ago, the days were still outdated and a few acres of land were placed, no, because the child's father's affairs were sold again", I said: "Everything is earned by people, as long as you are fair, you are all good, everything will be there."

As he was talking, Li Xu and Da Chun brought water, Li Xu picked up the water and picked it very steady, he poured two buckets of water into the water and then carried the bucket out, after having water, the sister-in-law was busy brushing the pot, lighting the fire, boiling water, making tea, after making tea, she took out the bowl again, brushed the bowl all over before pouring tea for us to dry, the sister-in-law poured tea and said: "Madam, you sit and drink tea, I'll go to prepare lunch", I said: "Don't be busy, you sit down and rest for a while!" The child should also be hungry, it's time for him to feed", she took the child from Xiaolan's hand and sat down to feed, Xiaolan said: "Miss, let's come out and bring steamed buns, meat, tofu and vegetables, I'll cook!" What do we eat? When I came out, I thought that they must have nothing at home, so in addition to the rice, noodles and the like, I also brought some steamed buns, meat and vegetables, etc., I said: "Don't be busy, you can also drink a bowl of tea and go again, I will help you in a while."

The child fell asleep after feeding, the sister-in-law put the child in the house and went to work, Xiaolan also went over to help, Li Xu and Dachun filled the bucket, I got up and said, "Come and sit down and drink tea!" Li Xu said: "Young Mrs. Xie, if you don't dare to sit down, let's go out and drink!" As he spoke, he took a bowl of tea and went outside the hospital.

I got up and came to the kitchen to help cook but was kicked out by Xiaolan, I had to sit in the courtyard to drink tea, two children sat in the yard to read, at this time it was almost late autumn, although it was noon but it was not hot, the breeze blew and felt very cool, think about I have been here for a year, too many things have happened this year, looking at the yard full of fallen leaves, and thinking of Rong Ruo, I don't know how he is now, or is he studying in the Beijing suburb courtyard as before? I am now outside the palace, and it seems that it is very easy to escape, but where are the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty under the control of Xuan Ye, where can I flee to, flee to a foreign country? I don't want to, and Rong Ruo, with my current identity, even if I really escape, I will never contact him, if I really escape, will the whole house be affected by me, I can't be so selfish, I can be a concubine in the palace as a job to do, although there is no freedom, but the treatment is not bad, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, occasionally you can be taken out by the boss like this to travel, as long as you do your part well, there must be no mistakes, although the palace is not liked, But the workplace has always been like this, but it's all because of interests, I don't fight or grab, what else can they do? When I was thinking nonsense, Xiaolan called me and said, "Miss, Miss, it's time to eat."

After eating and sitting for a while, I got up and said, "Sister-in-law, we will say goodbye, if there is any news about your father-in-law, I will let someone tell you immediately, don't worry!" My sister-in-law took the child and sent us to the entrance of the village, and I said, "Sister-in-law, go back quickly!" The sister-in-law put down the child and knelt down and kowtowed, "The little woman thanked Mrs.", I hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister-in-law, what is this doing?" Get up quickly", the sister-in-law got up and said: "The son and the lady are kind-hearted, and there will definitely be good fortune", I waved my hand and said, "Go back!" He sat in the car and said to Li Xu, "Let's go!" After walking a long distance, I lifted the curtain and looked back, and I could see my sister-in-law standing at the intersection with the child in her arms.

Xiaolan said: "Miss, the slave maid has put fifty taels of silver under the sister-in-law's pillow according to your instructions", I said: "Well, okay, if you give it to her in person, she will definitely not accept it, how can a woman live with no income and three children and no money?" Xiaolan asked, "But miss, why do you want to wrap the broken silver?" Isn't it better to have a whole ingot", I smiled: "The whole ingot is good, but the broken silver is more convenient!" Xiaolan patted her head and said: "Really, Miss you think about it thoroughly, the whole silver is too inconvenient, what if you are targeted again?" ”。

We went back to the inn, Xuan Ye and they hadn't come back yet, I didn't want to go anywhere after taking the carriage for half a day, after fetching water and washing, I went back to the room to rest, I said to Xiaolan: "You go and rest too!" Xiaolan went out and closed the door, and I lay down on the bed with a pillow and fell asleep.
