Chapter 137: That plate of osmanthus cake

The Shuntian Mansion in the early morning was shrouded in the faint morning light, and with the crowing from nowhere, it was about to kick off a busy day.
Lady Xiu has insomnia again.
When night came, she couldn't fall asleep, and she always felt that footsteps would be heard outside the door at any time, and her Niuniu came back.
How can she sleep, what if she misses Niuniu when she falls asleep?
Lady Xiu lay straight with her eyes open, and didn't fall asleep in a daze until dawn.
The crowing awakened Lady Xiu who had only recently fallen asleep.
She stood up and got up, put on her clothes, looked numb and walked out.
After losing her daughter, what difference does every day make to her? It's just suffering day after day.
She was waiting, until the beast with a thousand swords was pushed to the market to behead his head, and watching his dirty blood rush out, she could find Niuniu with peace of mind.
Her Niuniu is only fourteen years old, how can she do without a mother by her side.
Lady Xiu moved slowly and opened the door.
The pain of bereavement and days of insomnia almost dried up this woman's energy and made her act as slow as an old woman.
A dilapidated small bamboo basket was quietly placed on the ground outside the door.
Lady Xiu shuddered suddenly, staring at the bamboo basket.
She has such a bamboo basket at home, and Niuniu went to the street to buy her sweet-scented osmanthus cake that day, and she also brought up such a bamboo basket
Suddenly, Miss Xiu thought of something and suddenly grabbed the bamboo basket and pulled the lid that covered it.
Eight pieces of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake cut into diamonds are put together into a plate, which is mouth-watering.
Miss Xiu let go, the bamboo basket fell to the ground, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate rolled out.
She stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the ground for a moment, suddenly knelt down on the ground like crazy, grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the ground and stuffed it into her mouth.
The woman who heard the movement rushed over and hurriedly pulled her: "Oh, Lady Xiu, how can you eat what fell on the ground?"
Lady Xiu was shocked, she suddenly grabbed her wrists and hissed: "Where did this come from?"
The mother-in-law had never seen the crazy appearance of Xiu Niangzi, and was shocked for a while.
"Say, where did this come from?"
The woman's eyes fell: "Are you asking about these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes?"
Lady Xiu nodded sharply.
"I don't know, there are some big masters in the yamen, who eats osmanthus cakes. It's strange, I haven't seen them when I passed by here just now, why suddenly a basket of osmanthus cakes appeared?"
Lady Xiu held the bamboo basket, tears falling: "It's Niuniu, it must be the sweet-scented osmanthus cake Niuniu brought me!"
The mother-in-law asked carefully: "Lady Xiu, what do you mean?"
The appearance of this plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake seemed to have regained Lady Xiu’s ability to speak. She held her in-law and kept muttering: "Niu Niu was going to buy me sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the street that day..."
Speaking of the last, Lady Xiu started to cry, and the old woman wiped her tears.
"You said, were these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from Niuniu?" Xiu Niang asked with expectation.
The woman slapped her thigh suddenly: "It must be! I said why it is so strange. This basket of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes appeared out of thin air. It must be Niuniu who can't worry about you. I brought your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to see you. "
"Niu Niu can't worry about me?"
"Don't worry about it. Tsk tsk, Xiu Niangzi, look at your current appearance, you are all skinny and skinny, how can Niuniu be relieved?"
Lady Xiu laughed: "I knew that Niuniu would come to me again. Niuniu, you must wait for your mother. It won't take long for your mother to find you—"
The woman was startled, and squeezed Xiu's lady's hand hard: "Xiu's lady, you can't miss it."
Lady Xiu just laughed: "I didn't think about it, I just want to find my Niuniu."
"Lady Xiu, you are really confused!"
Lady Xiu was stunned.
The mother-in-law hates iron and can’t make her way: "Why did Niuniu come back to see you? Isn’t it because you are afraid that you are doing a bad job because you miss her! If you really want to find death, Niuniu won’t be able to reincarnate!"
"What do you mean?" Xiu Niang suddenly became nervous.
The mother-in-law sighed: "The white-haired person gives the black-haired person, this is the big filial piety of the black-haired person. Lady Xiu, have you always heard this?
Lady Xiu nodded her head.
This is an old saying, of course she knows it.
"Lady Xiu, Niuniu will leave you first. No matter what the reason, you are already owed to your mother on your back. If you seek death for her again, then she will be guilty. Then Lord Yan will read the merit book, and Niuniu will have her next life. I was going to vote for a wealthy family to enjoy the blessings, so in this case, I might be a beast-"
"Nonsense!" Lady Xiu was shocked, her face pale.
It doesn't matter what she does, Niuniu can't suffer anymore!
The woman patted Xiu Niangzi on the back: "So, Xiu Niangzi, you have to live well. If you live well, Niuniu will have fewer debts, and then she will be blessed in her next life. Hey, Niuniu is such a good boy. , Thinking about sending sweet-scented osmanthus cake to my mother..."
Lady Xiu moved her eyes and murmured, "My Niuniu will also become a lady of everyone, she will not follow me to grind tofu, be bullied, and will not be killed by others, will she?"
"Yes, it must be." She secretly looked at Lady Xiu's gradually glowing eyes, and the woman sighed quietly.
It seems that I believe it, so let's not talk about whether she can get the money from the big master. If she saves a life, she is also considered a virtue.
Lady Xiu is really a poor person.
Zhen Shicheng quickly got news from her mother-in-law. Not only did she spend an extra bowl of rice today, she also took the initiative to sweep the floor.
Zhen Shicheng let go of his heart.
Being able to eat and work, Lady Xiu seems to have dispelled the idea of ​​seeking death.
That little girl really has a way.
Thinking of Jiang Si, Zhen Shicheng couldn't help smiling.
Jiang Si told Zhen Shicheng about arranging Xiu's work, and ordered A Fei to find a suitable shop as soon as possible.
The pavement does not need to be large. It is best to use the street as a pavement in front and a yard at the back for people to settle down.
Jiang doesn't seem to expect this small shop to make money, just keep it running. The key is that there is such a powder shop that she can appear there with integrity and it will be convenient for many things in the future.
For Jiang Si, the ruin of Changxing Hou Shizi only solved one problem, and there are more problems to be solved later.
For this reason, all precautions are necessary.
The end of May passed in the vigorous murder of ten women by Hou Shizi in Changxing.
During this period, except for the family of one victim woman who could not be found, the family members of the other victim women came to take care of the funeral. Zhen Shicheng received considerable compensation from the Changxing Houfu.
The world has always forgotten it, and soon people's eyes were drawn to the sudden death of "Uncle Yang", because the case was not progressing much, and Beijing seemed calm for a while.
But Yu Jin's mood has been quite unstable recently.
His eighteenth birthday is here.
