"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss! Chen Aqing kowtowed again and thanked him.

The cook was also very happy: "Ah Qing, this is a nobleman!" ”

"You take her down first, and let her come to Xiumei tomorrow." Wei Ruodao.

"Good, good!" The cook agreed.

After speaking, the cook pulled Chen Aqing and said as she walked: "I'll take you to change your clothes, you're going to do things in Miss Wei's friend's shop, this dress is not decent." This time, stay with me first, and don't go home for a while, lest the new clothes I have changed for you will be taken by your mother and changed for your brother. ”

The cook didn't know that the shop was opened by Wei Ruo herself, Wei Ruo claimed to be her friend, and she and Xiumei were just helping to make marinade and hire people.

Watching the two walk away, some dusty memories of Xiumei appeared in her mind.

"Miss, I remember that I was sold to the He family at that time, it seems that it was because my mother gave birth to a younger brother and couldn't support it."

Xiumei was still very young when she was sold, so she didn't have a deep memory of her original family.

It's a dead deed that was sold again, and there is no correspondence later.

When Wei Ruo was brought to the Wei family, Xiumei, as Wei Ruo's only personal maid, was also transferred to the Wei family.

Although it was just a maid, the He family didn't dare not give it, if they sent their daughter back to the Wei family, there was no maid around, for fear that the Wei family would know that their in-laws' daughter had been wronged in their hands.

Even now, the Wei family doesn't know what kind of life Wei Ruo is living in the He family, and the He family's explanation to the Wei family is that Wei Ruo is not in good health and sent to the countryside to recuperate.

Wei Ruo patted Xiumei on the shoulder: "Regardless of them, it's their loss that they don't want my Meimei." ”

Xiumei nodded heavily: "That's right!" I don't need them, I live happily with Miss and Uncle Xu, the nurse! ”

"Wait, when I'm old enough to get married, I'll find someone who is dying to marry, and then I'll be able to stand on my own, and then we'll live together." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

"Miss, is there no other way? I don't want you to marry someone who is going to die. Xiumei muttered reluctantly.

"Leaving a father at home, marrying a husband, I am now in this position, and I want to stand on my own, this is the simplest and most direct way. Besides, what's wrong with a dying man, I'll be happier if he can leave me a stepson. Wei Ruo said with a smile.

Wei Ruozhen didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

She is a person who has lived two lives, and she wants to live her own happy life more than love.

Probably the biggest problem is how to find such a person, it is not easy to find a person who is eligible to die, and everyone has to be able to agree.

Xiumei muttered: "That's really not as good as Ah Qing, at least she can come out and do her own work." ”

"Each has its own suffering, we can't choose our lives, so we can only choose the road under our feet."

###

Wei Ruo has been busy for more than ten days.

On this day, Mrs. Yuan came to Tianqin Garden to find Wei Ruo and brought good news to Wei Ruo.

"Sister Ruo'er, Daxi, your father once again led the army to defeat the Japanese Kou!"

"Really?" Wei Ruo showed a look of surprise.

"Really! The good news has just reached the prefect's office, and my husband sent someone to inform me as soon as he learned about it. ”

The information that Mrs. Yuan got must be accurate.

"That'...... Can anyone be hurt? Wei Ruo wanted to know how Xu Zhengyong was.

"It is inevitable that there will be casualties in the battle between the two armies, but don't worry, your father is fine, only slightly injured." Mrs. Yuan replied.

"Are any of the other generals injured?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I don't know." Mrs. Yuan replied that the information she had received was not so detailed.

Wei Ruo was a little disappointed, and was thinking about finding someone to go back to Xingshan County to inquire later.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo again: "I heard that this time there is a general surnamed Xu who behaved very well, led a small team of men and horses over Wangyue Mountain, raided the enemy army, and finally captured the leader of the Japanese who came this time, and made a great achievement. ”

Isn't the general surnamed Xu Brother Xiao Yong?

"And is he hurt?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

"There shouldn't be, I only heard that he made meritorious contributions, but I didn't hear that he was seriously injured, even if he was injured, it should be a minor injury." Mrs. Yuan replied.

Wei Ruo was full of joy: "That's good, that's good." ”

"In addition to telling you the good news, I also want to ask if you want to send someone back to Xingshan County first, so that you and your father can have a good celebration." Mrs. Yuan asked.

"No need, it's good to know the victory, there's no need to celebrate, and aren't there still a lot of casualties? My father wouldn't have wanted to celebrate. Wei Ruo explained.

"Yes." Mrs. Yuan agreed, "But after all, we won, and we are still very happy." Although this fight against the Japanese is about to become the norm, and the people should live, but they have been fighting, there are always a lot of worries in their hearts, and my husband has been working hard for a long time at this time. Only by winning can everyone have a good year. ”

Then Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo and talked for a while, during which she tasted Wei Ruo's preserved fruits, candied fruits, dried fruits and braised meat.

It wasn't until someone from the prefect's mansion told Mrs. Yuan that Brother Sheng woke up from a nap and looked for her mother everywhere that Mrs. Yuan went back.

Then Wei Ruo hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to Xingshan County to confirm Brother Xiaoyong's situation.

Although after listening to what Mrs. Yuan said just now, Wei Ruo felt that the person was Brother Xiao Yong, but he still had to confirm it again to feel more at ease.

As a result, the reply arrived the next day, but it was not the letter, but Xu's mother and Xu Zhengyong himself.

"Brother Xiao Yong!" Xiumei ran up excitedly, up and down to check Xu Zhengyong's situation.

Then he saw that one of his hands was wrapped in a white cloth, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Is the hand broken? Let the young lady take a look! ”

"It's not broken, it's just a little skin trauma." Xu Zhengyong said busily.

"What a skin trauma! It's also fatal if you don't heal well from skin trauma, so let Miss show you! Xiumei took Xu Zhengyong's uninjured other arm and walked towards Wei Ruo.

"It's fine, and I've already used the medicine." Xu Zhengyong hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Xiumei was so nervous about herself, Xu Zhengyong smiled and said, "Senior sister, you see that you care about me so much, are you planning to call me senior brother?" ”

When Xiumei heard this, she immediately let go, and then glared at Xu Zhengyong angrily: "You want to eat fart!" It's good not to beat you! Do you want me to call you Senior Brother? ”

"Why do you want to beat me, I have made military merits." Xu Zhengyong said innocently.

"What else do you say, why don't you tell us in advance about the raid you want to lead the team, how dangerous is that? If you don't cooperate well with the big army, your life will be lost! ”
