Chapter 287 Disgusted
Daya left quietly, taking with her the letter written by Ye Wan, some of Er Ya's things, and San Ya's instructions.
At the same time, Fang Daru also received a letter.
"What are you looking at all by yourself? Did some old flame from the capital write you a letter? Why do you look so serious?"
Aunt Cai came in carrying a plate of watermelon and closed the door behind her.
Life is pretty good these days. There's a charcoal brazier in the house, and we're eating chilled watermelon. Even the imperial palace doesn't offer this kind of treatment.
Fang Daru put down the letter and sighed, "Madam, please stop joking with me. I can still have that old flame."
He was just a bookworm. If he hadn't met Cai Chun Ya, the most talented woman in the capital, he might have been alone for the rest of his life.
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Aunt Cai picked up the letter on the table. "Oh, so it's not your old flame after all. You're a heartless ingrate. The news travels fast enough. You've already set off so soon."
Ke Xinrui came, and she brought her daughter with her.
She had guessed that this day would come when the old man reappeared, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
"What are you thinking?" Fang Daru asked, looking at her.
Aunt Cai picked up a piece of melon and said, "Isn't our daughter in Jingzhou? Where would a daughter come from in Jiangnan?"
When that ingrate betrayed them, they had already died once.
Now they are Wanwan's parents.
Aunt Cai picked up the melon, took a bite of its icy-cold texture, and felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
Looking at his wife, whose hair had regained its black and shiny appearance, Fang Daru said, "Chunya, you've changed a lot over the years, and so have I."
"No matter how much we change, we are still human, not demons. Some people, on the other hand, have truly become demons."
Aunt Cai didn't want to talk about these things, so she simply changed the subject, "By the way, where's your new storybook? Let me see it, I'm quite bored all day long."
The elderly couple became uncomfortable when this topic was brought up.
"Ahem, you shouldn't look at this kind of thing. You're not young anymore."
"You said it yourself, I'm already old, can't I just look around?"
...
...
"Xinrui, let me see you again."
Ke Xinrui is taking her daughter to the capital.
Tao Zhe originally planned to set off together, but he couldn't just abandon the affairs in Jiangnan, so he had to send his wife and daughters first.
Once he has established himself, he will be there.
Fang Daru's position in the hearts of literati is unshakable.
He really needs to rely on his father-in-law's influence this time to save the Tao family.
Ke Xinrui set off in a very good mood.
This journey took half a month. Ke Xinrui and Tao Mingzhu had never experienced hardship and were quite pampered. After half a month, they hadn't gone very far.
"Mom, I feel so nauseous! How much longer until we get there?" Tao Mingzhu lifted the carriage curtain.
Then I saw a man riding by at full speed, his figure tall and straight, a fleeting glimpse of him.
Tao Mingzhu's eyes lit up for a moment, "Mother! Who were those people who just passed by?"
Ke Xinrui only got a general idea of what he was looking at. She covered her nose with her handkerchief and said, "Judging from his clothes, he must be a martial artist. Zhu'er, you must remember this: we come from a scholarly family, and we can't deal with such a vulgar martial artist. He's covered in sweat and smells disgusting."
Chu Xiujie had no idea that he would be disgusted just by passing by.
He received word that the blond-haired little girl was coming.
Thinking that it was both reasonable and emotional, and that he should go and greet them out of respect for Lin An and Ye Wan, he changed his clothes and came.
"Little girl!"
Chu Xiujie was stunned when he saw Da Ya.
"What did you eat? How come you've grown so much in just six months? You used to only reach my shoulder, but now you're up to my neck?"
It was very cold for two days while we were on the road, but it's warm now.
Daya wore a frayed vest, revealing her small face and a pair of cool, clear eyes.
"Is it possible that you are just naturally short?"
Chu Xiujie: ...
He was about to reach out and pinch her, but looking at the grown-up girl, he held back. "Who taught you to talk like that? Your tone is becoming more and more like your parents'. It's not endearing at all."
Daya laughed, "Why should I try to please you? Will you give me anything in return?"
"Here you go, be more polite next time." Chu Xiujie handed over a box.
"What is this?" Daya asked curiously as she took it.
Upon opening it, I found a small fish, made of some kind of stone, with a shimmering, iridescent appearance.
Chu Xiujie chuckled, "This is a piece from the Su family's collection. Your father didn't even notice it, but I did. I originally wanted to keep it for myself, but it seemed a bit strange for a grown man to carry such a thing, so I gave it to you. Remember to speak more politely in the future!"
"Be a little sweeter, call me 'Uncle' and let me hear it."
Daya, "Uncle, come listen."
Chu Xiujie: "..."
"You're doing this again! Give me back my little fish!"
"Since you've already given it to me, it's mine. What do you need it for?"
Chu Xiujie: ...
The two talked all the way, and time seemed to fly by. Before they knew it, they had arrived in Yangzhou.
"father."
When Da Ya saw Lin Anyuan, a warm smile appeared on her face.
Lin Anyuan looked outside and suddenly became excited, "How did you get here? Where's your mother?"
Daya said, "Father, don't look anymore. I came alone. I wanted to see Suzhou, so Mother had his bodyguard escort me here."
"Your mother has secret guards by her side?!" Lin Anyuan was extremely surprised, but he was actually pretending.
He knew it beforehand.
Daya was stunned for a moment, "Father, you don't know? This person wasn't arranged by you?"
They've been protecting their mother for so long, and they've always thought it was arranged by their father.
"come out!"
A man appeared at the door. "Shadow greets General Lin."
"Who is your master?!" Lin Anyuan stared at the man.
Shadow: "My master is the young lady."
"You know what I'm asking? Don't play riddles with me."
Shadow: ... "Your subordinate is King Jing."
"Go down."
Lin Anyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "So it was the Lord's secret guards. Then there's no problem. The Lord treats me so well. Knowing that I was traveling, he specially sent secret guards to protect my family. I will go through fire and water for you."
Bodyguard: "..."
Why did you speak so loudly, deliberately letting him hear it? So, should he pass on the message or not?
Go ahead and tell him, he just said that the master is the young lady.
Let's not spread it...
I'll just send it anyway.
