Liu San didn't allow Duan Xiaohe to see her off. He only asked her to send him off to the door. Riding the horse, Liu San looked at his wife with reddened eyes, and his heart softened, almost saying that he couldn't leave. Gritting her teeth, she once again rode her horse and left the Liu Village.

Duan Xiaohe watched from the door until the man and horse disappeared. Only then did she turn back and shut the door and the window.

"Little Aunt." Little Yixiu knocked on the door, "Are you crying?"

She wiped away her tears and pounced on him as she opened the door. Little Aunt, quickly go take a look. Someone's coming from outside. "

As he walked her down the stairs, he was somewhat surprised to see her standing in the courtyard.

"Begonia?"

In a few years, the crabapple has grown into a big girl." He was dressed in brocade and had a hairpin on his head. He didn't look like a country girl at all.

"Why are you standing there? Come in."

Duan Xiaohe was really surprised, ever since Begonia went to the capital, she had never returned back. Every time she saw Begonia, her parents would sigh. Only when Begonia brought a message home could she see the two elders smiling.

"You've been wandering around in the capital, why are you back all of a sudden?"

"I left from here. My home is here, and I can't come back?"

Duan Xiaohe was startled, and almost spilled his tea. After passing the tea over to the crabapple, she saw that even though the crabby look in the crabby look in the crabapple's eyes made it seem more pure than it used to be.

The capital was a colourful vat? Or could it be that the transvestite had always been hating him in its heart?

She smiled bitterly. "Why are you looking for me?"

"Begonia purses her lips and raises her chin in a haughty manner." I am now the shopkeeper of the capital's Shangyi Store, and there will be an embroidery competition in the capital next month. I want to invite you to battle, I want to fight with you. "

Duan Xiaohe laughed, "I heard that you have been selling your clothes very well at the Beijing Shangyi Store. I never expected that it would actually be your face. You know I can't even sew a single piece of clothing, embroidery? Forget it. "

The Begonia almost bit the corner of her lips. Shangyi Store was indeed a good business in the capital, but that was because she was once the embroidery lady of Fancy Dress. She had thought that she could take revenge on Duan Xiaohe when she first arrived at the capital's embroidery manor. After that, she had fought in the capital for two years and endured all sorts of supercilious looks before finally finally finally becoming a shopkeeper for Shangyi Store.

She had been away from home for so many years, but thinking of how she had also become famous now, no one would ever say that she was following Duan Xiaohe when she returned to the embroidery lady. Using the fame of the embroidery competition, she wanted to compete with Duan Xiaohe properly and have everyone take a look at her own affairs!

"You are the manager of Fancy Dress, how can you not go? Everyone will be participating in this competition, so if Fancy Dress does not appear, are you not afraid of being laughed at? Are you not afraid of losing your business in the future? "

Duan Xiaohe looked at her, "How much business can we lose? You clearly know that I don't know how to embroider, but you still want me to make a fool of myself. Begonia, do you hate me that much? "

The transvestite gritted his teeth and turned his head, not saying a word.

Duan Xiaohe was feeling bitter. Capital? She couldn't go now. Embroidery competition? It was none of her business.

"Since you've returned, you should stay at home for a while longer. Your parents are about to go crazy from missing you."

The Begonia stood up with a 'whoosh' and left in a huff. Duan Xiaohe was stunned, seeing that she had changed, but her heart was still the same as before.

In the afternoon, Duan Xiaohe prepared some pastries and brought Nan Gong Xiu over to the Haitang's family. When Haitang's mother saw her enter, she happily pulled her hand and said a few words. She had gone to play with Liu Miao, who was now a young lad. However, she had always liked him, and the two of them had always been together.

Haitang's mother looked at the two children and gave a gratified smile. He took the basket of pastries from her and pointed to the room with Begonia.

Duan Xiaohe thanked the Haitang's mother and lightly knocked on the door. There was no response from inside the door, so she did not stand on ceremony and just pushed open the door and entered.

The Begonia only raised her eyes, then lowered her head and continued embroidering. Duan Xiaohe looked at the bright red peony on the embroidery stand. It was extremely beautiful.

"This peony is so beautiful."

Seeing that the crabapple tree had stopped for a moment, Duan Xiaohe continued to praise it. "Like you."

"You've thought it through?" You want to compete with me? "

She shook her head. "We haven't seen each other for so many years, can't we talk?"

"This …" Begonia put down the embroidery needle and looked at her with feigned impatience. What are you trying to say? "

Duan Xiaohe laughed and then pulled the Begonia's hand over. If you were still angry, you wouldn't have rushed over to my place. You just saw me come in here and didn't seem to get tired of it... Actually, you were waiting for me to come find you, weren't you? Begonia, let's make up. "

Begonia turned her face away, gritting her teeth, not letting go.

After so many years had passed, she understood that not all of her hatred and jealousy towards Duan Xiaohe was present. If not for Duan Xiaohe, she would have died in that pool. If not for Duan Xiaohe, she would have already married another man. She would definitely be the mother of two or three children now. If not for Duan Xiaohe, she wouldn't be so promising right now.

In the end, she was grateful to Duan Xiaohe in her heart.

It was just that back then, things had turned into chaos, and because of the matter of her selling her Fancy Dress, she couldn't bring herself to take it down. She endured herself from wanting to return home multiple times. She was afraid that if she did, she would be laughed at when she met Duan Xiaohe.

To this day, her Shangyi Store was doing extremely good business in the capital. When she returned home, even if Duan Xiaohe scolded her by pointing at her nose, she was not afraid.

Now that Duan Xiaohe had said it directly, she felt a little ashamed.

"Alright, stop messing around, are you going with me to the Fujiang Village tomorrow? The forest over there has already been set up, and now that the peach blossoms are blooming, you must come with me and take a look. "

Duan Xiaohe stayed in the Haitang's family for a while before she called out to her master. On the way home, she even met Qin Rui, who was greeting him casually.

Originally, she didn't want to care about him, but after hearing what Liu Da said before he left, she felt a little guilty towards him. After thinking about it for a moment, he opened his mouth to talk about the transvestite.

"Did you know that Begonia is back?"

Qin Rui laughed, "It's good that you're back, it's been so many years since I've been here."

Duan Xiaohe clenched her teeth, the reason she left home and left the capital was all because of him. The little girl's obsession with him was already bewitching. She still wasn't married yet, so wasn't she still counting on him? However, he had always treated herself as an outsider and was feeling anxious when she saw people around him.

"Don't tell me to marry her, I want to marry her long ago. If one person is responsible for another person's persistence, I think you should be my wife now. "

"How ignorant!"

Duan Xiaohe fled in panic, and after walking a few steps, she turned back.

"You stopped me halfway because of the recent upheaval in the capital?"

Qin Rui's eyes flashed with shock, "That Wen fellow told you?"

Without waiting for her to speak, Qin Rui smiled. It seems like this Wen fella really knows everything about you. "

Duan Xiaohe frowned, then said: "I built a memorial grave for Liu San, if you have time, go pay your respects."

Later, Qin Rui came over, saying that he had searched around, and did not find where Liu San's memorial grave was. Duan Xiaohe was silent for a moment, then said that she would find someone to engrave a monument for him tomorrow.

Qin Rui did not understand, "You are so rich, why are you not willing to carve a monument for Third Brother Liu? "No matter how weak, I can still use a wooden board to write a word."

Duan Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she could still tell him that Liu San did not die to erect a memorial grave?

"Her mood changed, and she became wronged and sad again." I always feel like I didn't manage to engrave this monolith and that this person didn't die. There is still a thought in my heart. "

The expression in Qin Rui's eyes darkened, but he did not say another word.

The next day, Duan Xiaohe went to the Haitang's family and invited her to go with him to his family. Begonia pretended not to want to go, but her mother urged her on. She said that she had always heard people say that it would be fun over there. This time, they were also basking in the glory of their daughter, so they went over to have fun together.

The kid from her family was very happy to hear it, so he begged for the crabapple to go. The Begonia half pushed, then nodded.

After driving the ox-cart, he pulled the transvestite family along with Little Yixiu to the Fujiang Village. When it was time for the farm music, it was just in time for dinner. Old Man Duan also knew Liu Jinfu, and knowing that he was their spy, he was naturally taking care of him, which made him even more passionate towards him.

When the Begonia saw Liu Er diligently helping others, she was slightly surprised. She felt that Liu Er was like a different person from the lazy idiot in her memories. Liu Er was also frank, to the point where he felt that he was a useful person.

The place to eat was right next to the peach orchard. After they finished eating, the few of them could not wait to go in and admire the peach blossoms.

Begonia in the capital city has seen all the bustle, now in the country of peach forest, a different taste. He suddenly had some inspiration and wanted to run home and embroider everything in his mind.

It was when the peach blossoms were in full bloom that the powerful nobles came looking for names to play with. The young masters wrote poems, the young misses admired the flowers, it was so lively. Furthermore, the first rule of this forest was that they were all equal and did not mind poverty. The people inside were all used to being with ordinary people, and since the opening of the door for business, there had never been any unpleasantness.

But today...

"Do you know how expensive my clothes are? These were clothes from the Shangyi Store, each piece was worth a hundred silver. "Now that you can't wear it anymore, you can either lose money or lose your life."

When the Haitang's mother heard this, his heart trembled. He was afraid that it would cause trouble so he quickly called his children over. The transvestite's face was cold and indifferent, as if he had seen too many of these things in the capital. He didn't pay much attention to them and continued to enjoy the show.

Duan Xiaohe frowned, and looked around, but could not find Little Yixiu. Feeling anxious, she quickly ran over.

Arriving at the place, he saw that it was indeed Xiu Xiu who was sitting on the ground. An eight to nine year old child wearing luxurious clothes was standing beside him, shouting at him while grabbing his clothes. The more Duan Xiaohe looked, the more familiar it felt. In the end, she hit the back of that brat's head.

"Little bastard, are you courting death?"
