Chapter 26 Farewell
Since our destination is Gaolian County, and we have shared the same difficulties and helped each other and spent the night together, we can barely be considered half friends. It would be unreasonable to go our separate ways.
Zhao Nan's eyes darted around as he looked at his master: "Or, or."
Zhou Hansheng looked at Zhao Liya and said, "If you two don't mind, why don't you come together?"
Perhaps this was God's will. With these two people as cover, they were able to disperse and enter Gaolian County without being conspicuous. There was nothing wrong with this.
It's not a hassle anyway.
Zhao Liya thought about it, nodded and smiled generously: "Thank you very much!"
The roads are slippery after the rain, so it's nice to go with them.
Zhou Hansheng invited Zhao Liya to mount the horse. Miss Zhao was a guest, and it would not be appropriate to let her ride the horses of his subordinates. It would be better for her to ride her own horse.
Zhaonan and the others were all surprised and surprised: they had never thought that their young master would actually be willing to let someone else ride Zhuiyu.
Zhuiyu is tall and handsome, with a snow-white body and shiny fur. When he looks at people with his head held high, he exudes dignity and elegance, and has a refined temperament.
Zhao Liya's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she was very impressed. She didn't expect it could actually be ridden! But -
"But I, I can't ride a horse."
Zhou Hansheng smiled slightly: "Zhuiyu is very gentle, I will hold it."
Zhao Liya was so itchy that she couldn't bear to let go of such an opportunity. If she missed it, she would never have it again.
She nodded: "Oh, then I'll try."
"please."
Zhao Liya climbed onto the horse. Zhui Yu shook instinctively, but soon became obedient after being comforted by Zhou Hansheng.
Zhao Liya gradually relaxed and gently rubbed Zhuiyu's soft mane. She smiled and praised softly, "How sweet! Its name is Zhuiyu? What a nice name."
"Well," Zhou Hansheng looked at Zhui Yu with gentle eyes, "Miss Zhao, sit tight."
"good!"
Zhou Hansheng led the horse beside Zhui Yu. Zhao Liya sat upright on the horse. The morning breeze blew gently, her black hair fluttered, and her clothes moved slightly. The gentle morning sunlight shone down on her face, covering the sky and the earth. All around her were large expanses of lush green mountains.
Looking at the two from behind, Zhao Nan suddenly felt, not knowing if it was an illusion, that his son and Miss Zhao were a perfect match. Coming to his senses, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He must be crazy to think that!
They shared a horse with Hu Ling, and they followed the mountain road and arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain in less than two quarters of an hour.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhaonan, Zhaobei and the others were obviously very experienced in traveling, and they quickly found a suitable family. They all went in together and asked for a place to rest.
After receiving the silver, the host happily prepared ginger soup, heated water, cooked breakfast, and fed the horses.
By the time we had breakfast, it was almost ten o'clock.
Zhou Hansheng took Zhaonan, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling with him, hired a donkey cart in the village, and headed to Gaolian County.
Zhou Hansheng's explanation was that he had instructed Zhaobei and the others on other matters, so they were not traveling together.
This was someone else's private matter, Zhao Liya didn't care at all, she just nodded and said nothing more.
Along the way, although Zhou Hansheng didn't talk much, Zhao Nan was a chatterbox. The uncle driving the coach was also very talkative. As for Zhao Liya, as long as she was sure that the other party had no ill intentions and was not dangerous, she was also happy to chat more.
After all, there was no internet, no telephones, and even no newspapers or magazines back then. The flow of information was slow and closed, so any random, fragmentary, useful or useless information was fine, the more you could know the better.
Therefore, I didn't feel lonely at all along the way.
When I arrived at the county town, I still felt unsatisfied.
The coachman hurried away to go home, and Zhao Liya and Hu Ling also said goodbye to Zhou Hansheng and his servant.
Zhao Nan was hesitating whether to ask Miss Zhao and Brother Hu, the sworn brother and sister, where they lived. Perhaps he would have time to visit them after finishing his business. After all, they had gotten along so well along the way that Zhao Nan was a little reluctant to leave.
But then I wonder if asking rashly might seem a bit abrupt?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard his son say, "Miss Zhao, you—"
Before he could finish, Zhao Liya smiled and gently interrupted, "Thank you for your care along the way, Master Zhou. Let's say goodbye here! I wish you a safe journey and all your wishes come true."
After all, they were exiles, and it wouldn't sound good to tell anyone about it. Although Zhao Liya had a hunch that Master Zhou and his servant weren't the kind of people who only looked at the surface of things and people, her exile status really made it difficult to make close friends.
What's more, they are from other places, so there is no need for this.
Therefore, when Zhao Liya heard Zhou Hansheng seemed to be asking for their address, she interrupted him pretending to be coincidental.
Zhou Hansheng was stunned, caught off guard.
Zhao Nan was also dumbfounded, and couldn't help but chuckle. When his son was in Shu, he was very popular with girls, but he always rejected them with a cold face. He never thought that there would be a day when someone would reject him!
And I became an eyewitness!
This is incredible! I'll tell my brothers about it later and make them envious!
Zhou Hansheng didn't actually think much about it. He just saw that Zhao Liya and Hu Ling had good temperament and were well-spoken, but their clothes were quite simple. He guessed that their family conditions might not be very good. He thought that after the matter was done, he might be able to visit them and help a little.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected.
He knew that Miss Zhao must have guessed what he wanted to ask and interrupted him on purpose.
Although he was a little confused and stunned, he never liked to force others. Miss Zhao might have her reasons. In that case, then so be it.
He nodded to Zhao Liya: "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your kind words."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Goodbye, both of you!"
"goodbye."
It would be nice if everyone said goodbye politely and respectfully, and never saw each other again.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling left quickly.
We are not all the same kind of people!
Zhao Liya suppressed the natural regret and inexplicable melancholy in her heart, and said to Hu Ling with a relaxed smile, "We're finally back. Let's go to the market to buy some things, then hire a donkey cart and go back quickly! My parents must be so worried!"
Hu Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go back quickly!"
Judging from the shadows on the ground, it was estimated to be around four o'clock in the afternoon. It was not early, but not late either, so there was no need to rush home.
It’s a rare opportunity to come to the county town, so of course I have to buy some delicious food to take back.
The two bought two pig's trotters and about five or six pounds of meat. The trotters can be eaten tomorrow, and the meat is half fat and half lean. The lean part will be eaten tonight, and the fat part will be used to make oil.
I bought some meat, three pieces of tofu, a bunch of lettuce and water spinach, and weighed three or four pounds of snacks before hiring a car to go home.
They had enough money on hand and didn't have to suffer unnecessary hardships.
