Chapter 368 Departure to Kuizhou
That night, He Chunxiu and Yun Sanlang didn't sleep much, nor did Baoya. Only the little dumpling Yun Chengxi was still sleeping soundly.
The next morning, Yun Sanlang carried two large bags in one hand, which contained some spare clothes and necessities for the whole family, and held Yun Chengxi in the other hand.
He Chunxiu carried a small bag containing some personal belongings. She held the bag in one hand and held Baoya's hand with the other.
That morning, not only the third branch of the Yun family got up early, but everyone else in the Yun family also got up early.
Wang Cailian made breakfast and the whole family gathered together to eat.
Then everyone sent the third family to the front door together.
Outside the Yun family's gate, there were two carriages parked, one from the Yin family and the other from the Rong family.
Seeing the Yun family's door open, the third branch of the family came out surrounded by the Yun family. Rong Bing and Yin Qiu, who were standing next to the two carriages respectively, both brightened their eyes.
The two of them moved forward in unison, and then took Baoya's hands on the left and right.
"Two...grandfathers?" Baoya was a little confused.
Rong Bing said with a smile: "Ran Ran, would you like to take Grandfather's carriage?"
Without waiting for Baoya to answer, Yin Qiu also said: "Take mine, it's more spacious and comfortable than the Rong family's carriage."
The tone was strong and overbearing, and it brooked no refusal.
Rong Bing's old face suddenly turned dark, but it disappeared in just a moment.
A look of sadness gradually emerged on his face, and he sighed, "Old Yin and his daughter have been apart for many years. He must be missing her very much, right? I understand this feeling."
"Alas, what a pity that my daughter will never come back! Fortunately, I still have the sweet little Ranran by my side."
"Since we've agreed to go together, why not have Miss Yin take your carriage, and have her husband take Ranran in mine. This way, it will be convenient for you two to reminisce about the past and exchange feelings."
He spoke sincerely, and everyone in the Yun family standing at the gate couldn't help but nod in agreement. Only Yin Qiu clenched his fists, wanting to explode but unable to.
This old guy! He just plays tricks on him! He wins people's hearts! He's really good at saying nice things!
At this moment, Rong Bing asked him with a smile: "What do you think of my proposal, Mr. Yin?"
Of course not!
But Yin Qiu couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone in the Yun family, otherwise he would appear stubborn and lack magnanimity.
So he coughed and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Rong. In this case, I will not refuse."
As he spoke, he waved to He Chunxiu who was standing behind Baoya: "Qianlan, let's get in the car!"
Since the old guy wanted this result, then he would just go along with it. They were on the same path anyway, and they could talk to each other through the air by lifting the curtain of the carriage. Why make a fuss!
It just so happened that he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with his daughter on the way.
Thus, the distribution of the carriages was settled.
He Chunxiu carried Yun Chengxi into Yin Qiu's carriage. Yun Sanlang was about to carry Baoya into Rong Bing's carriage when a clear and melodious voice suddenly stopped her.
"Baoya, your master is here to see you off."
It’s Nan Xuan.
Baoya immediately waved her little arms and jumped out of Yun Sanlang's arms, then ran to him and stood still in two or three steps.
"Master, why are you here?" The little girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Well, your master will also take your second brother away from here." Nan Xuan seemed to hesitate for a moment and said.
"The Peach Blossom Spring is ruined. We have to find another place to go. We will set off in two or three days." In fact, it means returning to the pavilion.
"Then take care on your journey." Baoya said, "By the way, didn't Brother Xiaojing leave any message for me when he left?"
This is actually what she had always wanted to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to ask it, so she kept putting it off until today.
Nan Xuan shook his head. In fact, when Jingzhen was taken away, he had just fed him the antidote pill. He was still in a coma, so it was impossible for him to leave any words for this silly girl.
When Baoya saw him shaking his head, the smile on her little face disappeared instantly.
She pouted and said, "Okay."
Seeing her like this, Nan Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Your brother Xiao Jing didn't leave any words for you, but he did leave you something."
"Really!" Baoya's dark eyes suddenly regained their spirits. "What did he leave for me?"
Nan Xuan suddenly stepped aside, revealing the large white, furry thing squatting behind him.
"Leave the lonely king alone."
Baoya: ...
The lonely king squatted there excitedly and wagged his tail.
However, she really wanted to take the lonely king with her.
After asking He Chunxiu and Yun Sanlang, and seeing no one objecting, Bao Ya brought the King onto Rong Bing's carriage as well.
It was finally time to set off. Zhao Zhilan held Baoya's hand through the window, and then held the hands of her son and daughter-in-law. She was in tears and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
He Chunxiu comforted her: "Mom, when we settle down there, we will take you and your eldest and second sister-in-law's families to live there together."
"Okay." Zhao Zhilan couldn't say anything, just nodded continuously.
Finally, he took her hand and urged, "Keep the wooden box. It's full of small change, so it's easy to spend. I don't have anything else good to give you."
"Mom..." He Chunxiu's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.
To be honest, Zhao Zhilan, her mother-in-law, was really nice to her.
In the past, she was weak and had never given birth, but Zhao Zhilan never said anything. Now that they were leaving, she actually gave them so much silver to keep them company.
"You don't have to give it to us. We have some savings of our own."
"Just take what mother gave you. I'm a country woman, and I'm certainly not as wealthy as the Rong and Yin families, but I can still give you this little bit of money. Please don't despise it."
How could He Chunxiu possibly dislike it? After the mother and daughter pushed it back and forth, she finally accepted it, mainly because she wanted to reassure Zhao Zhilan.
The wheels rumbled as they gradually drove away from the winding country road. However, the Yun family members stood at the door and looked at the carriages for a long time until the two carriages were out of sight.
Yun Yue hugged the soft and sleeping Yun Chengshou, feeling a little lost.
The eldest brother went to Lintianfu to study, the third sister went to the capital to be a landlord, and now Baoya has also left. In a few days, the second brother will also leave with his master.
Among the five older children in the Yun family, she was the only one who stayed at home.
"Yue Ya," Yun Chenglu, who was standing beside her, called her when he saw her with her head down and silent.
"What's wrong with you? You're already thinking about it right after Baoya left, aren't you?"
Yun Yue shook her head and answered his question seriously: "Not yet, but maybe by evening."
After she finished speaking, she carried the soft Yun Chengshou back to the yard, and the loss in her heart also dissipated a little.
She had been keeping in touch with Rong He through correspondence, and they talked about a lot of things in the letters, and naturally, they also talked about their aspirations for the future.
She took a deep breath and suddenly felt motivated again.
Her brothers and sisters are all working so hard, she can’t let them down. She has to study hard, take the exam to become a female official, and go to the capital!
By then, He Er, who looked down on her, would be shocked!
