What's it like to wake up and find the house empty?
The bird's nest is gone, the bedding is neat, the room is clean and cold, and the kitchen used to be filled with cooking smoke. Now the stove is cold, which is wrong. A Yao was palpitating. She looked inside and outside the house. She finally found her. She grabbed her and asked, "aunt, have you seen the bird's nest?"
"Ah, I almost forgot. The bird's nest girl said she left you a letter and put it in your little treasure chest." Aunt patted her head and said.
A Yao ran back to the room, closed the door and went straight to the bedside, opened the treasure chest, and there lay a letter sealed with fire paint.
She had a bad feeling. She opened it twice before tearing it open. The words on the letter made her eyes black:
[a Yao, when you see this letter, I have left Nanxun. I have made up my mind about overturning the case. There are many dangers in this trip. I can't bother you. Forgive me, I can't go with you, and I won't take the initiative to contact you in the future. If I haven't heard from you all the time, it's good news. I don't hope that when you hear from me one day, I'll be executed. Girl, if you ask, just say it. Her property has been handled. You can stay in this house. My aunt and uncle will take care of it. I'm relieved that the teacher of Nanxun thatched cottage will take care of you a little; If you decide to go to Beijing and go to Nanxun escort agency in ten days, I will pay you a deposit and they will send you to the capital safely. Take the title deed with you. Your sweet cake shop and house title deed, keepsake and silver money are on the second floor of your treasure chest. [bird's nest stay]
She, is this abandoned?
A Yao looked at it again and again: "she said to take care of each other, but she left me and ran secretly, and didn't let me contact."
She once thought that when she went to Beijing with the bird's nest, the two people worked together to turn over the case and bring back Wangyue. She thought it was wonderful. Her dream stopped at the first step of reality. The move of bird's nest hit a Yao. She also won and successfully left a Yao in Nanxun.
Put down the letter decadent. What should she do now?
Stay in Nanxun, continue to run her sweet cake shop, live in the house, occasionally take a small banquet, or change the direction to Fuhai, catch up with Wangyue, or... Continue to go to Beijing, what did you think before, continue to do, go to Beijing, make a reputation, conquer power with food, develop your contacts, and think... Think of ways to overturn Wangyue's case.
But the bird's nest and Wangyue remained silent. In fact, she didn't know much about their case.
A Yao received the letter and sighed. She hasn't been to the sweet cake shop for some time. She has ten days to think about it.
Tongsheng cleans the table. The water brand in the store is still the same. The business is bleak. It takes half a day for people to eat bowls and porridge, which is different from the excitement a few months ago.
"Tong Sheng, are you the only one in the store?"
"Little boss, you're here." Tongsheng threw down the rag and poured a bowl of barley tea for a Yao. He smiled bitterly and said that since the moon watching accident, she didn't come to the sweet cake shop very much. The shopkeeper of Gaojia restaurant came to publicize why the shop was bad. Several helpers were poached by him, and others found another way out. He was left alone in the shop some time ago. Knowing that a Yao was running around for the moon watching, he didn't bother her very much, and he could barely maintain himself.
"Sorry." Apart from being sorry, ah Yao couldn't say anything else. She was not a qualified boss years later.
It's strange that a Yao didn't sit down long. Maybe he saw someone in the store. After another, believers from the back door of the Taoist temple came in to have a rest. Before they could sigh, they were busy until half an hour before sunset.
A Yao instructs Tongsheng to close the sweet cake shop in advance. She is calculating the surplus of this year. She is surprised at the account book. Tongsheng also shoulders the responsibility of the shopkeeper. When she is away, he paid the assistant. Now the money received is right with the account book - and Tongsheng didn't take his share.
After settling the salary for Tongsheng, he seemed to understand ah Yao's move: "little boss, are you... Are you going to dismiss me?"
"No, no, no, this is normal settlement. You haven't got your share yet. I'm not angry. I'm not here. You can act as an agent. No problem. Even if you tell me that I will let you take full responsibility - at that time, my heart was on master Wangyue. " A Yao quickly explained, and then an idea came up in her heart: "Tongsheng, have you ever thought of opening a shop yourself?"
"Ah? Little boss, are you kidding? I want money but no money. I want skills but no skills. In my life, I'm just running a shop. How can I open a shop by myself? " Tongsheng scratched his head.
A Yao didn't laugh. "What do you think if I rent the store to you and you run it?"
She doesn't want to sell the shop. It's given to her by Wangyue, but she doesn't know whether she will come back when she enters the capital. When she comes back, she can rent the shop or hand it over to others. Just like Wangyue and Zui xianlou, she also has a sum of income.
"What about you, little boss?"
"I'm going to the capital to sell the sweet cake shop. I'm not willing. I'm going to rent out and collect a rent."
Tongsheng shook his head and still refused: "I can't do it. If you want to rent out the sweet cake shop, just find the shop house service to handle it. The shop house service is next to the Yamen."
Ah Yao, who said these words, had decided to take root in the capital. As long as she stood high, she would meet the bird's nest one day, and she didn't realize that there was still a trace of expectation in her heart to see her old friend.
A Yao took care of her affairs and asked the escort agency if she could start ahead of time. The answer was that she had seven days to escort on her way. The bird's nest with a bitter smile just doesn't want to give her a chance to find her unless she goes to the capital alone now, but the memory of escaping from Jiangcun a few years ago is deeply engraved in her mind. When she thinks of the fake monk who broke the temple all the way, she has weak legs and doesn't have the courage to go to the capital by herself, and she doesn't know how to go.
On the day a Yao set out, she shook Cui and sang Xiang and Ying Niang came to see her off.
The river bank is wide, and wild ducks swim out of reeds.
"It's clear and crisp in autumn. I can't say the sad words of Liu changti. Take care, O Yao. When you get to the capital, write to me. " Ying Niang didn't give up, "maybe I'll come to you when I go to the capital."
Shake Cui Shengxiang and look at him: "ah Yao, why don't I write a letter to the young master and tell him?"
A Yao knew what they were worried about: "no, Pei Shuo hasn't written to me for a long time. I won't disturb him when I go to the capital. The bird's nest will explore the way first. We plan to make a name in the capital. Nanxun is rich. It's still a little small. It's not enough for us to stretch our fists. "
They both felt relieved and wished ah Yao a pleasant journey.
The bird's nest she mentioned was already standing at the side door of the long princess's house, taking a deep breath and knocking on the deep Zhu door leading to the house.
