The stars are covered with the sky, and the bright starlight makes the sky mysterious and distant. Xiuxiu didn’t know what she added, so she cooked a pot of porridge over low heat, which tastes very refreshing. The most important thing is of course not sour or sweet, neither lukewarm nor hot.

Xu Ping drank porridge in small sips, while Xiuxiu was packing various small items, which were all the stationery utensils, toiletries, etc. Xu Ping used daily. Xiuxiu didn't know where to find a few small boxes and put them away one by one.

The stars shone on Xiuxiu's face, her expression was quiet and peaceful, and her expression was focused.

Xu Ping put down the spoon and sighed in his heart. Xiuxiu has grown up and just sat there honestly. Xu Ping can tell at one glance that Xiuxiu is already a big girl, no longer the little girl she used to be.

In the past, Xiuxiu always had a smile in her eyebrows and eyes, less focused, but more naughty and willful. Now Xiuxiu can no longer see her mood in her eyebrows and eyes, and she is dedicated to doing things.

Putting the spoon in the bowl, Xu Ping looked up at Xiuxiu, and an indescribable emotion rose from her heart. Over the past ten years, Xiuxiu has been sitting by her side for many nights. She did things very seriously, but she always couldn't sit still. She kept asking Xu Ping, asking her, and she must talk with her, and she would never be idle.

Tonight Xiuxiu was still sitting there like before, but she didn't ask a word or say a word.

He raised his head and put down the things in his hand. Xiuxiu stood up and said, "Oh, the official has finished eating, I'll go wash the dishes."

Xu Ping didn't say anything, Ren Xiuxiu took away the bowls and chopsticks and watched her walk lightly outside the moon gate.

Xiuxiu is a little unfamiliar now, but she is still so familiar in her heart. Perhaps for the past ten years, Xu Ping has been teaching Xiuxiu this and that just to make her like this one day.

Xiuxiu finally grew up and grew up to what Xu Ping once thought, but Xu Ping began to miss the past.

It was already late at night, and Xiuxiu finished packing everything she should have, and came over to Xu Ping and said, "Officials, it's getting late, so go back to the house to rest early."

"What's the hurry? I just remembered that I don't need to go to morning court tomorrow. Over the past year, I've gotten up every day and walked in the dark, and now I'm not lost in the inner city with my eyes closed. From tomorrow, I won't have to live such a day for two or three months. I want to get up when I get up, and why do I go to bed early?"

Xiuxiu held back her smile and said, "Even if you don't get up early, you have to go to bed early. You are in poor health now, don't stay up late."

Xu Ping lay on the chair and looked at the night sky, saying to Xiuxiu: "I don't want to go into the house. The weather is hot and the room is stuffy. Xiuxiu, come to the house to get a blanket, I'll stay outside for a while."

Xiuxiu responded, turned around and went to the room, took a blanket and covered Xu Ping's body, and sat next to Xu Ping with a small chair. Xiuxiu held her cheek and looked at the stars in the sky without saying a word.

Xu Ping pulled the blanket on her body and asked Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, will you have a good life after you go home?"

"Okay, the officials and my wife take care of me. My family is not short of food and drink now, and life is acceptable."

"Then are you busy every day?"

Xiuxiu tilted her head and said lightly: "You are busy. My father and mother are old. Hu Zi is in the Imperial College again. She can't go home at any time. I am alone inside and outside, so of course I am busy."

"I'm busy and I can't finish doing anything every day. How could you live a good life?"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "It's not good to be idle every day. We poor families must have to be busy every day to be at ease. Officials, you grow up in wealth and don't know these things."

Xu Ping listened to Xiuxiu's words, and before he knew it, there was a gap in his heart. He was now a high-ranking official in the court, with a rich life, and others were surrounded by wealth. Xiuxiu was still the girl from the farm. After ten years of life, she was still her.

But when I recalled that back then, I was just a naughty boy in Zhongmu Manor. I also went down the fields to work with the merchants, digging ditches and digging canals. I even went down to the pond with Xiuxiu to catch fish and shrimps, but I don’t know if Xiuxiu still remembers it.

Xiuxiu looked at the night sky and said quietly: "Official, I met Sister Dou'er a few days ago."

"Oh, it's been a long time since there's no news about her. How are you doing now?"

"It's okay, the two of them set up a wonton stall on the market to find food at Xishuimofu. There are many people in the newly opened business in Sanshi, and the business is still good. But there are idle people on the streets to look for things and cannot live with peace of mind. We went to find Brother Gao and asked him to help find someone to take care of him."

Xu Ping hurriedly said, "Why don't you tell me about this kind of thing?"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "What is the official's identity now? No matter how ignorant we are in these small festivals on the street, we will not make trouble for you and make you upset. Brother Gao has also been promoted, and this kind of scene can still be sustained."

Xu Ping hasn't spoken again for a long time. When he was a teenager, the servants in his family are now married and have started a business. Only Xiuxiu is the only one left, and she is still alone.

Dou'er signed a short contract with the Xu family back then. Xu Ping had not taken office in Yongzhou for much time, and her contract expired. At that time, the Xu family was in full swing. Those who had taken care of Xu Ping were all favorable and generous. The Xu family gave Dou'er a dowry and found an honest and dedicated businessman on the street and got married.

After these years, Dou'er has given birth to a child. The old house passed down from her husband's ancestors has been stripped down and rebuilt. She lives a pretty good life. At least in Tokyo, Dou'er's family is also considered medium-sized and upward.

Back then, he had no choice but to sell himself to the Xu family, but now he has no worries about food and clothing. These servants are still grateful for the kindness of the Xu family. After all, Dou'er is different from Xiuxiu. She is just an ordinary female envoy who does some rough work at Xu Ping's house and does not have the affection for so many years with the little master.

Before they knew it, they were already in two worlds with these ordinary people around them. If something happened, they would rather help and support themselves than come to find their former master. They have their lives and no longer have much connection with the Yongning Marquis Mansion, which is as deep as the sea, although the owners of this mansion are still considered their own people in their eyes.

Xu Ping let out a long sigh and asked Xiuxiu: "Where is Gao Daquan? Why haven't you seen him come to the mansion these days?"

Xiuxiu said: "Brother Gao has been transferred to Mabusi. A few days ago, he said he would leave Beijing and get food. My girl's house doesn't understand. Anyway, she went to Guangji Army and was not in the capital."

There were few people in the front office of the palace, so he must have been promoted to the Mabusi. At that time, Gao Daquan came to Xuping's mansion to report the wedding, but unfortunately, Xuping was missed on West Jing Road. The imperial guards in the capital often moved to other places for food, but this time they missed it again.
