Chapter 79
"Mo girl, this is our master's house. Come, meet the master."
Mo Yatou was put on the ground. She reluctantly let go of her little hand and greeted politely.
When Jun Qingmo heard the word "Master", he choked on the saliva in his mouth. He opened his folding fan to cover his face and started coughing violently.
"Ahem, Yunniang, please change your name. I'm not old yet."
Zhang Yunniang covered her mouth and laughed secretly. When the old man called out, it really felt like he was calling an old man.
Jun Qingmo: "The wind is strong by the river at night, let's go back first."
"Yes, sir, I obey your command."
Mo Yatou followed suit and said, "Yes, Master, I obey your command."
"Cough cough cough cough."
The cough that Jun Qingmo had suppressed with great difficulty started again.
Lin Wen's mouth twitched, and he fought hard to suppress the upward curve. His Excellency always wore a gentle exterior, even facing a catastrophe without a flicker of emotion.
This girl always manages to make him "flee in panic" easily.
"We have to go back early, or our master will get sick."
Jun Qingmo looked back speechlessly, his eyes full of accusations. He had just choked and coughed, making his face and ears red.
Zhang Yunniang chuckled and didn't dare to do anything bad again.
Mo Yatou followed her, jumping around, not showing any fear towards the master, and her childish nature was clearly visible.
"Second Young Master, why are you here? Are you going back tonight? The city gates will be locked at midnight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
"I brought some daily necessities. I haven't been here for a while, so the servants might have gotten a little lazy. I also brought the banknotes. Spend them first. If it's not enough, I'll send more."
Lin Wen rolled his eyes. Who would believe that? And the servants were lazy. Haha, they really are good at passing the buck.
Who secretly asked him to send a message to lock the prepared things in the warehouse?
Zhang Yunniang took the thick stack of banknotes and, after a quick glance, estimated that it was worth several thousand taels. "The manor is renovated every year, so there aren't any major problems. We don't need so much."
"Spend as much as you can, and keep the rest."
"You have a lot of expenses and need money for everything. You should spend less. I have more than enough money."
Zhang Yunniang pulled out a part and stuffed the rest back in.
"Hehe, how come there are people like you." Jun Qingmo smiled bitterly while holding the silver. How come he couldn't even give out the silver now?
"You gave me the money and threw it back. It was you who urged me to earn more money, and now that I have the money, you refuse to take it."
"You have made so much money with me, I can't spend it all." She had the thoughts of a commoner in her previous life. She did not like to squander money, nor did she pursue luxury.
Now she receives so much dividends every month that she can't even spend all of her own money.
She has a small heart, no lofty ambitions, only the small desire to live in a corner.
It is rare to have a carefree life.
In this world, the goshawk can survive, and so can the ostrich.
She is a tiny ostrich, living in her own little world, not competing with others, and wandering endlessly without waiting for anything.
"You have so many people to support now. Every penny is hard-earned. You can't spend it recklessly. Save as much as possible."
"I've developed a bad habit of squandering since I was little. Please save some for me. If one day I can't make ends meet, please, Miss Zhang, put aside your past grudges and help me out."
After saying that, he stuffed the banknote back to Zhang Yunniang. It was awkward to push it back and forth, and she never liked this part, so she took it and stuffed it into her arms.
"Do you like this little girl?"
Jun Qingmo was happy as he looked at the little one jumping around beside him.
"Mo is smart. Even though she's young, she knows a lot. Look at this. She made it up."
She picked the grasshoppers and dragonflies hanging on her clothes and showed them to people.
"She is quite clever. Why don't you take her back with you to serve her tea and water, so that she can be ordered around. If there is still time to educate her, it will be her good fortune." Jun Qingmo always wanted to keep someone by her side to take care of her. The younger the better, it is better than having no one at all.
"Mo girl, are you willing to follow me?" Zhang Yunniang is not short of money now. If Mo girl is willing to follow her, not to mention guaranteeing her wealth and honor, and providing her with good food and drink, she can also send her to a private school for a few years, which is always better than staying on the farm.
She could only help as much as she could. After all, her abilities were limited.
"I do!" Mo Yatou didn't quite understand what following her meant, but she knew it meant staying by her side.
"Poor little thing, thank your master quickly. Your master gave you to me."
"Thank you, Master. May you live a long and blessed life."
Jun Qingmo laughed silently. He couldn't get over this. Why did this name suddenly appear?
He shook his head and said, "So what if she's old? Yunniang can call her whatever she wants."
Zhang Yunniang was so amused that she burst into laughter. She really couldn't help it.
Jun Qingmo had established his own family at a young age, so it was normal for him to be called "Master". However, she always felt that it was not inappropriate to call someone "Master" when he was in his thirties or forties, but it was really funny to call someone "Master" when he was in his twenties.
"Amina, we'll leave at the beginning of the Si hour tomorrow. It'll take over an hour to get to the South City Gate. If we leave at the Mao hour, we'll be in time. You can ride with me. We can ride together to Liuli Village. We'll have an hour to say goodbye along the way."
After getting off at the intersection, you can go directly to see Mr. Huaiyuan, and then you can meet Miss Liu. Since we are in the suburbs, I always have to go to Mr. Huaiyuan to say hello. We will return to the village together in the evening.
The arrangements were very clear. What could Zhang Yunniang say except "good".
She originally thought Jun Qingmo would only stay here for one day, but looking at the large and small bags of things, it seemed like he was going to stay here permanently.
This place is not too close to the capital, but it is not a bother to go out early and come back late every day.
Parting is always filled with sadness. Zhang Yunniang thought carefully on the way, and must not cry.
But when she saw people at the city gate, she couldn't hold back and squatted down and burst into tears.
Jun Qingmo gently stroked her shoulders and back, comforting her silently.
Amina also saw them, with tears in her eyes. She said that after today's farewell, they would never see each other again in this life.
She walked over and held the person in her arms. The two of them hugged each other and cried as if no one was around, feeling the warmth in his arms for the last time.
In this strange world, the two of them became connected and became as close as brothers. From then on, they had concerns in their hearts.
"Sister, this package is for you." Zhang Yunniang put all the silver and money in her hand into the package.
There are also a few little gadgets she made herself, left for people to remember by.
"Okay. I don't have anything to leave you, so take this. Inside is a jar of peach blossom wine, which I buried under the crabapple blossoms after we met. I originally thought that if you got married one day, we could open it and celebrate together."
Amina also brought a package and handed it to her, the rest of her words disappeared in her sobs.
"Hey, sister, why are we crying? We should be laughing. Look, I even put on some makeup today. Doesn't this dress look good on me? I usually don't wear long dresses with wide sleeves."
Zhang Yunniang turned around on the spot, showing off her carefully applied makeup and slim figure.
She also performed the Hu Xuan dance that Amina had once taught her.
A bright smile appeared on her face, and in the blink of an eye, the sad mood disappeared.
Amina took her hand, and the two of them danced the frontier dance they had danced together when they first met in the tavern.
Someone started playing the huqin, and the other hu girls were infected and also danced around the two of them.
The leader of the camel caravan watched the sun rise higher and began to urge them to set off.
"I also asked someone to prepare some dry food that can be stored. If you don't mind, please take it with you." Jun Qingmo gestured for General Lin Wu to bring over the package prepared.
"Thank you, sir. I have no other concerns in Shangjing except Yunniang and the wine shop. From now on, please take care of me."
"Don't worry, girl. Take care on your journey."
"Sister, I'll walk with you for a while. I'm going to Liuli Village. We're going the same way."
Apart from her loss of composure when they first met, Zhang Yunniang has now regained her former liveliness and cheerfulness.
In the carriage, I imagined the future with my sisters.
When they actually left, she jumped out of the car very casually and waved goodbye to the departing convoy.
Amina wiped away her tears, feeling reluctant to leave but also looking forward to returning to her homeland.
There were two packages beside her, one was given by Zhang Yunniang and the other was given by Jun Qingmo. She opened them one by one.
The box Jun Qingmo gave her was filled with gold, silver, and a painting. When she opened it, what caught her eye was a portrait.
Zhang Yunniang was sitting on the big gourd ornament in the tavern, smiling and pulling her clothes to act coquettishly. Xixi and Haha also imitated Zhang Yunniang, looking up at her with silly expressions.
As I laughed, tears started to roll down my face again.
At this moment, she knew that he would finally get what he wanted.
When Zhang Yunniang's package was opened, there were a lot of miscellaneous things inside, including gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes, and many handmade gadgets.
Ever since she learned that she was going back to the frontier, the girl gave her everything.
This girl, I'm afraid he gave her all his stock.
Oh, silly girl.
What a silly girl. I haven't given her anything. How can I deserve her to miss me so much?
Only when the convoy was out of sight did Zhang Yunniang retract her waving hands and curiously opened the package Amina had left for her.
There was a small wine jar inside, which should be the peach blossom wine for her, and a small box. She opened it curiously and found a box full of banknotes.
She couldn't help laughing, and as she laughed, she started to cry.
She understands her, and she understands her too.
It turned out that both of them guessed what the other was thinking.
She was worried that she would have a rough road ahead, so she tried her best to give her everything she had.
She was worried that she would be left alone, so she gave her everything she had.
Zhang Yunniang yelled at the top of her lungs, heading in the direction the camel caravan had disappeared, "Now that things have settled down, you must, must, must write to me. Do you hear me? You must, must, must write to me."
"Who are you talking to? Why are you so loud? Hey, are you crying? You can cry again?"
Zhang Yunniang looked back speechlessly. What was wrong with her crying? Wasn’t she a human?
Why can't she cry?
