Chapter 239 Set off
The next morning, the Rong family's carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the Yun family.
He Chunxiu packed Baoya's small bag for her last night, and Zhao Zhilan stuffed a lot of things into it this morning.
She was given new cotton-padded shoes, steamed red bean paste buns for the New Year, and twenty taels of silver.
"Here, the capital is a big place, not like our small town." Zhao Zhilan stuffed the silver at the bottom of her small bag, fearing that she would lose it.
"Grandma, this is too much. My parents gave me some money for the trip." Baoya wanted to take out some.
Thirty taels of silver probably emptied the old lady's family fortune.
The family had just built a new house and was about to send the children to school, so they gave her another twenty taels...
"Take it. What your parents gave you is from your parents. This is what grandma gave you. They are different."
Zhao Zhilan was indeed quite stimulated by Rong Bing's words. The Rong family was wealthy and powerful, and Rong Bing was a favorite of the emperor. The Yun family could not compare to them.
However, she wanted to do her best to give Baoya the best.
Baoya couldn't refuse, and was afraid that her grandmother would be sad, so she had to accept it.
"When you get to the Rong family, you must be obedient. A wealthy family has many rules. Aren't you good friends with Young Master Rong? Ask him more."
He Chunxiu frowned, and her expression was as if she was marrying off her daughter, and she was reluctant to let go.
Yun Sanlang patted her shoulder and said, "Cheer up! Baoya is going back to the capital with her grandfather to play for a few days. Why are you so sad?"
The capital city was so far away, it would take a day or two to get there. How could she not be worried? The farthest her Baoya had ever been was Ping'an Town!
As they were talking, Wang Cailian and Li Rongyue also came over.
Wang Cailian stuffed a bag of steaming hot bacon and potato pancakes into Baoya's hand and said, "Take them with you on the road. Don't forget your aunt's cooking skills while you're gone for so many days."
Baoya took a deep breath of the aroma of potato pancakes and smiled at Wang Cailian: "I'll never forget it!"
Li Rongyue tied a peace locket she had woven on Baoya's wrist: "Wear it for good luck and a safe journey."
"Thank you, Second Auntie!"
"Baoya, it's time for us to go." Rong He got off the carriage and called her from the door.
Baoya waved to Zhao Zhilan, her parents, four uncles and aunts, and her brothers and sisters.
Xiao Yunyue chased to the door with her short and thick legs, and hugged Baoya from behind.
"Baoya, you have to come back soon. I'm starting to miss you since you haven't left yet."
Baoya turned around and hugged Yunyue, pinching her soft little face: "Well, I'll be back soon!"
Yunyue then sniffed and wiped the tears from her face.
She stamped her feet, snorted, and rolled her eyes at Rong He.
It's all this He Er's fault! He agreed to go to Yucai Academy with her, and not only did he break his promise, but now he's kidnapped her sister!
She never wanted to play with He Er again! As expected, apart from her father, uncle, and two brothers, all men were bad!
Rong He was confused by her stare and was about to step over, but Yun Yue turned around and ran away.
Rong He: ...
"Baoya, what happened to her?"
Baoya watched Yunyue take small steps and run straight back to the house.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe she's afraid that if I don't come back for too long, there won't be anyone to play with her?"
“Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. The capital is too far away from Cangchenzhou. You.”
Rong He said like a grown-up, "How about this, when we get to the capital, we'll buy some fun and delicious food and ask someone to bring it back to her, so she won't be lonely anymore."
"Okay," Baoya said, "Let's buy one each for my third sister, my eldest brother, my second brother, my parents, my grandmother, my uncles, and my aunts!"
"No problem!" Rong He patted his chest, "We...oh, no, our Rong family is very rich, you can buy them as many things as you want!"
Baoya was immediately happy: "That's great!"
After Rong He and Bao Ya got in the car, Rong Bing personally came down to say goodbye to Zhao Zhilan and the others, and asked someone to unload all the things in the car to the Yun family.
In order to express his gratitude to them for taking such good care of Baoya, Rong Bing sent a lot of things to the Yun family.
Various precious nourishing medicinal herbs, precious cakes that only the ladies in the palace can eat, as well as the finest fabrics and cotton.
The old man was simple and honest, and he even remembered to give rice, more than ten bags at a time.
Zhao Zhilan looked embarrassed: "What are you doing? We raised Baoya and treated her like our own child, not for any benefit!"
"I know," Rong Bing held down Zhao Zhilan's hand as she tried to refuse. "Baoya is my grandchild and also your granddaughter. She will have to come back to live in the Yun family in the future."
"Our two families are not far apart. These things are what ordinary families need. Just think of them as something I give to Baoya to make up for the lack of family affection over the years. You must accept them, otherwise it would be awkward."
Since Rong Bing said so, Zhao Zhilan had no choice but to accept it and asked Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang to move into the courtyard.
Finally, Rong Bing also got on the carriage. Yan Fei whipped the horse and the tall, shiny black horse started to walk out of the village.
Baoya leaned against the window and looked back. Her parents and grandmother were leaning against each other, standing at the door and watching them go. Even after the carriage reached the village entrance and left the village, Baoya could still see the group of little dots standing together.
The car had to pass through Ping'an Town, and then take the official road to Cangchen Prefecture. After leaving Cangchen Prefecture, it had to pass through two more prefectures before reaching the capital.
Baoya sat obediently in the carriage and ate the bacon and potato pancakes made by Wang Cailian with Rong He and Rong Bing.
The potato pancakes are fragrant and crispy, and they are even more delicious when seasoned with bacon.
Even Rong Bing, who only eats healthy meals prepared by himself for three meals a day, couldn't help but admire it.
Seeing his inexperienced look, Baoya patted her chest with her short hands and said, "I can also make a lot of delicious food. When I get back, I'll make it for Grandpa!"
"Okay, then grandpa will want to see your cooking skills!" Rong Bing was grinning from ear to ear.
As the carriage entered Ping'an Town, Baoya began to feel restless. Brother Xiaojing had said yesterday that he and the master would also leave by carriage.
She kept looking out of the window to see if there was any carriage following them.
"Baoya, what are you looking at?" Rong He was very puzzled when he saw her always looking outside.
Baoya often comes to Ping'an Town, so there shouldn't be anything to be curious about.
"It's okay." Baoya put her little head back into the car and sat down, "I'll get some fresh air."
"Oh." Rong He said.
At this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound from outside, and the carriage stopped.
Yan Fei lifted the carriage curtain and stuck his head out, saying to Rong Bing, "Old Pavilion Master, there's a carriage blocking the road ahead."
Rong Bing's expression suddenly darkened. He glanced at Rong He and Bao Ya who were sitting next to him and said in a deep voice, "I'll go down and take a look."
Baoya had already opened the car curtain a little and looked outside cautiously.
Just then, I saw Jingzhen jumping off the carriage, and behind him, followed closely by a young man in a white shirt.
She couldn't contain herself any longer, so she stretched out her little hand from the car window and waved at the two of them.
Surprised, "Brother Xiaojing, Master!"
