164 I will send you to Yinzhou.
The weather was sunny and there was a gentle breeze.
Several horse-drawn carriages were slowly driving on the official road, and Xiao Hezhou followed the carriages on horseback.
Xiao Tingyun sat on the cushion to rest, while Lanzhi and Luzhi next to him were peeling some walnuts.
"Miss, let's make some walnut milk tea tonight. I'm sure you'll like it."
Lanzhi kept moving her hands, and happily showed the walnuts she had peeled to Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "You have peeled enough. You don't need to peel anymore. Be careful not to hurt your hands."
There is a whole bowl of walnuts in front of me, white and plump, and even the skin on the top is picked clean. You can tell at a glance that it took a lot of effort.
Luzhi shook her head. "Miss, you haven't eaten well these past two days. You look thinner. Today, we finally got some walnuts. You have to use more of them."
Lanzhi nodded like a hamster, agreeing with Luzhi's words, "That's right, the young lady has lost weight. If the lady knew about this, she would definitely blame us for not taking good care of her."
Xiao Tingyun laughed, "We have only been out here for two or three days, how can we lose weight?"
"You just lost weight." Lanzhi snorted and handed the walnuts she had just peeled to Xiao Tingyun, "Miss, would you like to try some fresh ones?"
Xiao Tingyun took it with a smile, put it into his mouth, and the sweet taste of walnuts soaked into his taste buds. He opened the water bag and took a sip. It was filled with clear tea, which was the best for relieving greasiness and thirst.
"When we find an inn in the evening, let's all have a bowl."
Lanzhi nodded happily, "It's more comfortable outside. There are too many people in the mansion, so we can't be too presumptuous. Otherwise, if the maids find out, they will scold us again."
Lanzhi is lively and loves food. She likes to go to the small kitchen whenever she wants, and the nanny in the kitchen is tortured by her.
"You talk as if I, your young lady, have treated you unfairly. Why are you still looking so greedy?"
Lanzhi stuck out her tongue.
Xiao Tingyun pinched her face amusedly, then lifted the carriage curtain, letting the sunlight shine through. Xiao Hezhou, who was riding a brown horse, turned his head with a sense of understanding, and saw his sister smiling and talking, "What's wrong?"
"Third brother, when you sent me back this time, did my grandfather say anything to you?"
Xiao Hezhou frowned and thought for a moment, "Grandfather asked me to take good care of you and to ensure your safety."
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression looked a little strange.
Xiao Tingyun nodded indifferently, "Anything else?"
The wheels kept turning. Xiao Hezhou raised his eyes and stared at his sister. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandfather said that if you have your own ideas, you should let me listen to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tingyun curled his lips and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to remember this, brother."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Hezhou asked.
"It doesn't mean anything. You will know when the time comes, brother."
Xiao Tingyun lowered the car curtain and said a few words lightly, leaving Xiao Hezhou no room to ask further questions.
The group walked for more than half a month and finally reached the intersection to Ruzhou. Xiao Tingyun stopped the carriage and the group stopped on the road.
Xiao Hezhou stopped his horse and asked, "What happened to Ah Yun?"
The carriage was silent, and Xiao Tingyun's voice suddenly came, "Go north."
The driver was confused, "But, Ruzhou is in the east..."
“Not going to Ruzhou.”
"Not going to Ruzhou? Miss, where are we going then?" Luzhi asked anxiously.
"Go to Yinzhou!" Xiao Tingyun said lightly, but from his tone, it seemed that he had already made the decision!
Xiao Hezhou's face suddenly changed. Only now did he understand what she had said at that time.
He got off the horse neatly and walked to the front of the carriage in two steps. He opened the door and stared at her with a gloomy look and a bit of annoyance. "Ayun, do you know what you are talking about?"
Xiao Tingyun was sitting in the carriage. She had lost some weight due to the fatigue from traveling for more than half a month, but the stubbornness in her eyes was the same as always.
"Of course I know."
It sounded like he would never repent. Xiao Hezhou was so angry that he almost laughed, "Is this how my grandfather told me to listen to you?"
"I don't believe it! Could it be that you coaxed Grandfather into agreeing at home, and then acted without my permission here?"
Xiao Hezhou rarely turned his face cold to his sister, "I'll send you to Ruzhou!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Tingyun.
"Third brother, do you think Grandfather will really be coaxed by me?"
Xiao Hezhou turned around. The handsome young man now had a gloomy face. The girl in front of him was his own sister. He knew since she was a child that she was in poor health, and he secretly made up his mind to protect her well in the future.
The image of the little girl with her eyes closed and pale face remained in his mind. Now many years have passed and she has grown up, but her face is still pale. However, she will no longer wait for fate to come. She wants to take charge of her own life.
Xiao Hezhou clenched his hands quietly at his sides, and his throat felt dry.
Xiao Tingyun smiled softly, "Third brother, don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt myself, I just want to be closer to him."
Xiao Hezhou naturally knew who the "he" she was talking about was.
But he still didn't agree with her taking the risk, "So, you had already decided to go to Ruzhou this time and change your plan to go to Yinzhou?"
"yes."
Xiao Hezhou gritted his teeth, "What about my father and mother? Don't you care about their thoughts?"
"For him, can you ignore the worries of your family?"
The third brother has always been peaceful to others, and she has seen the rare times when he was not calm, and they were all related to her.
Xiao Tingyun looked at the young man in front of him, the worry in his eyes was intense and sincere.
Her heart suddenly felt warm, knowing that all her relatives in this world were caring for her in their own way.
However, she is no longer the original daughter of the Xiao family.
He sighed slightly, "Third brother, I know what I am doing."
"I'm not looking for death, but he is different to me. This time I feel very uneasy and want to be closer to him, closer and closer, so that I can know the news faster. He has left someone by my side. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Xiao Hezhou almost wanted to pry open her head. Is a man really worth her doing this? !
A minister should not criticize his king, but he still couldn't help asking, "Is he really that good? Is he worth it? He can't be devoted to you, and there will be more women around him in the future. You are a person who would rather break than bend, and you won't share your husband with others. How will you deal with it then?"
Xiao Hezhou's words came from the bottom of his heart, but only Xiao Tingyun himself knew the truth.
She couldn't tell anyone about the secrets of the palace.
There were thousands of words on my lips, but only one sentence came to my lips, "Third brother, do you believe me?"
Xiao Hezhou stood there in a daze, his lips trembling.
Trust me, then stop asking.
If you don't believe it, then she is determined to throw herself into the fire.
But why wouldn't Xiao Hezhou believe his own sister?
It took Xiao Hezhou a while to calm down from Xiao Tingyun's still calm and gentle face.
"Okay, I'll take you to Yinzhou."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingyun curved his eyebrows, and the two siblings smiled at each other.
