Xu Bijun said without thinking about it: "The east courtyard is burned like that, and Wang Shizi often stays there, don't you think what his mother is?" ”

Hongyan nodded: "In this way, you will go to the East Courtyard more in the future." She proposed.

"Why?" Xu Bijun turned his head to look at her with a puzzled face.

"No, Wang Shizi is your cousin, he misses your aunt so much, you are his cousin, shouldn't you go and accompany him more, and explain him?"

Thinking of the handsome face of Wang Shizi Zhao Yi, Xu Bijun couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing this, Hongyan unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into other people's fields...... Maybe her Hongyan's daughter has this kind of creation? ——

After a long journey, I finally saw the people; There is a small market at the junction of several small mountain villages.

Mu Xiu got out of the car, led his horse to the bazaar, and bought five liters of rice and a large bag of flour from a grain seller.

The peddler was an uncle in his forties and fifties, and when he saw that he was buying so much grain at one time, he immediately smiled: "Strong man, benefit 90 copper plates." ”

"Became ......." Mu Xiu leaned into the carriage, took down the small bamboo hanging in the right corner of the carriage, and took out a few pieces of broken silver into it and handed it to the uncle.

Seeing this, Lu Huijuan's eyes widened suddenly, this bamboo basket had been hanging there, and she didn't know that it was money.

She looked at Mu Xiu and then at Shen Qing...... These two people's hearts are too big, right?

When the uncle helped carry the grain onto the carriage, Lu Huijuan noticed that Mu Xiu had hung the bamboo basket back in its place......

After a long journey, Mu Xiu knew that everyone was exhausted, and he didn't care about himself, he was afraid that Shen Qing's body would not be able to bear it.

He was going to find a place to rest for a few days, so he asked the peddler, "Uncle, is there a hotel in this place where you can stay?" ”

The peddler shook his head: "We have no hotel in this small place. Where are the strong men going? ”

"We went all the way south ......"

When the peddler heard this, he was stunned for a moment, as the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, and I have heard of people going north, but I have never heard of people going south.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Seeing that the strong man is in such a figure, he doesn't look like those southern barbarians, why did he go over there?" He didn't know that he could easily offend people with a sentence of the Southern Barbarian.

Mu Xiu smiled, but did not squeak.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the uncle didn't care much, so he continued very enthusiastically: "In this way, you have been walking from the mountain road over there, walking for about twenty or thirty miles, and it is Tong County, and there are many hotels in this Tong County. ”

Mu Xiu nodded: "Thank you......"

Lu Huijuan's ears were tipped, and when he heard Mu Xiu say that he had the intention of staying in Tong County, he suddenly had other thoughts in his heart.

Out of the mountain village, the carriage quickly went up the mountain road again, Lu Huijuan sat in the carriage, she glanced at Shen Qing who was sleeping, and the corners of her eyes went up from time to time, secretly looking at the bamboo basket containing money, she wanted to know how much money was in this thing.

The carriage walked for another while, Lu Huijuan couldn't help it, she called out softly: "Shen Qing...... Shen Qing ......"

No response.

She knew that this person was unconscious as soon as she slept, but she was still not very relieved, so she reached out and pushed her, but the person still did not move, and he was really asleep.

At this moment, Lu Huijuan put her mind at ease, she tiptoed to the other end, and reached out to take down the money basket.

Looking inside, she couldn't help but be stunned.

There were broken silver mixed with some copper plates, and there were most of the baskets piled up, and the broken silver and white flowers were dazzling.

She had never seen so much silver in her life......

This Mu Xiu was dressed so ordinarily, he didn't think that he was a rich man.

The carriage jolted, and she was startled, quickly reached out and grabbed two pieces of broken silver from inside, and then hung the bamboo basket back in place sideways.

Lowering his eyes and glancing at the lying woman, seeing that she was still closing her eyes, Lu Huijuan clenched her fists, clenched the silver in her hand tightly, and her heart pounded......

She thought about it, instead of staying here to be a maid, it would be better to run away when she arrived in Tongxian, and with this silver, she would not worry about food and clothing for a long time.

She fixed her eyes on the sleeping woman, and carefully stuffed the silver into the pocket of her undergarment.

After crossing a hill, Shen Qing woke up, and Mu Xiu immediately stopped and found an open place to rest.

The three of them sat together, Shen Qing still ate porridge, while Mu Xiu and Lu Huijuan each had a big bowl of white rice.

Lu Huijuan was a thief, and she was afraid that Mu Xiu would check the money basket, but she was worried about eating the bowl of coveted white rice in her hand.

As soon as Shen Qing heard that he could find a hotel to stay in after walking another one or twenty miles, he seemed very happy, and he talked a lot, and he kept talking there.

Lu Huijuan listened nervously, she looked forward to the two of them eating quickly and continuing on the road.

Until I heard Shen Qing say that the two met a woman on the way to escape with two children, Shen Qing saw that the three of them were pitiful, and proposed that Mu Xiu give them some money, Mu Xiu didn't think about it, so he gave the three mothers and sons five taels of silver.

Only then did Lu Huijuan know that these two people didn't care about money at all, and they didn't count how much silver was in the money basket.

In that case, did you take too little?

So, after resting for a while, Lu Huijuan hurriedly packed up her things and proposed to hurry on the road, saying that it was best to stay in Tongxian County before sunset.

Hearing this, Mu Xiu turned his head to look at Shen Qing, who nodded very approvingly.

So they got into the carriage again.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Huijuan kept looking forward to Shen Qing falling asleep quickly, so that she could do it again, but Shen Qing was so excited that she didn't have any intention of sleeping.

Lu Huijuan saw that she had been chattering there and pulling herself to talk; I thought to myself, why did this person suddenly talk so much, it was really annoying......

Shen Qing said for a long time, and when she saw that Lu Huijuan answered absent-mindedly, she thought that she was just tired and tired, where did she think that people were coveting the money in the carriage.

Talking to herself about being bored, Shen Qing closed her mouth, she lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.

Lu Huijuan saw that she didn't mean to sleep yet, and her teeth itched with anger.

The carriage went a long way, and Lu Huijuan found a comfortable position in the carriage.

Just when she was drowsy, Shen Qing on the other side yawned, and seeing this, Lu Huijuan's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

She waited patiently, waited......

When Shen Qing fell asleep, he was overjoyed, and secretly took down the money basket again, reached out and grabbed a handful of broken silver, and stuffed his clothes pocket to the brim......
