Chapter 291 The most unpleasant vacation
Although Ling An is Nan Xuan's man, ever since Ye Jingtian was assassinated when he left the palace, Nan Xuan has placed him by Ye Jingtian's side as his personal bodyguard.
Why was Ling An suddenly transferred back? Did Big Brother no longer need protection?
Ling An's voice came from behind the car curtain.
"It's...it's the order from Master and Big Brother."
"My elder brother?" Jing Zhen frowned.
Ling An said, "He probably thought that Nan Ge...Mr. Nan was short of manpower, so he asked you to drive the carriage back and forth between Feishui Village and Ping'an Town, so he sent me here."
Jingzhen: ...
The eldest brother must have thought it was inappropriate for a prince like him to drive a donkey cart around all day.
But now no one knows his identity, and he has been away from home for many years, so he has become very skilled at driving a car and doesn't think it's a big deal.
"Then he himself..."
"Mr. Nan sent Han Tao over." Ling An said.
Ling An and Han Tao are the two most skilled protectors around Nan Xuan. In this case, Jing Zhen can finally feel relieved.
Baoya and Yunyue were confused, but they didn't ask any more questions. They thought it was probably something that happened in the Hongdouxuan shop and had nothing to do with them.
Now that Yunhua has changed to evening classes, there are only six children left in the Enlightenment Hall: Baoya, Yunyue, Jingzhen, Fangxian, Lin Huarong and Zhang Shun.
Qi Mo's class went very smoothly. I don't know if it was influenced by Yunhua's incident, but these children all started to work hard on their own initiative.
Even Lin Huarong, who usually only knew how to eat, was reading a book while munching on a red bean cake for the first time.
However, Qi Mo still beat him with a ruler, saying that he was disrespectful to books and the ancestors who wrote books by reading while eating.
Lin Huarong admitted his mistake with a good attitude. He indeed stopped reading while eating snacks. Instead, he read while eating candies. Mr. Xiao Qi did not discover him again.
In addition, every day after evening classes, Jingzhen would accompany Baoya and Yunyue to pick up Yunhua from Grandma Yu's house without fail.
But he never showed up and just waited at the intersection.
Baoya thought that he just didn't know how to deal with the elderly, so she didn't force him.
Grandma Yu's eyesight gradually improved from that day on. Although her health was still not very good, Qianqiong and Yunhua were doing their best to take care of her.
Gradually, she was able to embroider some patterns with Yunhua.
The three of them often get together to talk about needlework techniques or what to embroider tomorrow.
Qianqiong always makes fun of herself for being clumsy, but there is often envy in her eyes.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the academy to rest.
Qi Mo specially let the children in their Enlightenment Hall go out a little earlier, while the students in the Knowledge Hall had to wait another half an hour.
As soon as the class was over, Baoya dragged Yunyue and Jingzhen to run to Grandma Yu's house. Tomorrow was a day off, so today they had to pick up their third sister and eldest brother to go home together!
These days, Yunhua has gradually gotten used to this kind of life. In the first few days, she still missed home, Baoya and Yunyue, but as her life became more fulfilling, she no longer cared about it.
And every night after Mr. Xiao Qi assigned them homework, he would go to Qiuzhitang to answer questions for his elder brothers.
This period of time became the time for the two of them to memorize their lessons together, and gradually she began to look forward to it.
"Grandma Yu! Third sister! Aunt Qiong!"
Baoya stood at the door, patting the wooden door with her little hands.
"I'm coming!" Qianqiong's voice came from inside. "I know you have a day off today, so Madam Yu should put it away early, and Yunhua has already packed it up."
The wooden door creaked open, and Qianqiong and Yunhua stood inside, smiling: "No more small talk today, you should go home early too. Yunhua hasn't been home for nearly half a month."
"Yes," Yunhua responded, "Aunt Qiong, when I come back, I'll bring you and mother-in-law some delicious food."
"Okay, go ahead." Qian Qiong smiled.
Ling An's carriage was waiting at the intersection of Nanjiao Street, and Jingzhen was waiting for them in the carriage.
When Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue arrived at the carriage, Yun Chengfu also arrived.
However, he originally planned to go to the breakfast shop to find Yun Sanlang and his wife.
Baoya grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother, let's go together. I've already said hello to my parents."
Yun Chengfu glanced at the not-so-big carriage and shook his head: "Forget it, you guys go first."
At this moment, the curtain moved slightly, and a white hand with distinct joints stretched out from the carriage.
Jing Zhen leaned forward and said, "Brother Yun, get in the car. Baoya wants to go back with you."
Yun Chengfu wanted to refuse, but Ling An had already placed the footstool and lifted the curtain for him.
It was difficult to refuse, so he nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Jingzhen's mouth curled up into a barely perceptible smile.
Let Baoya and her two sisters get on the bus first, and Yun Chengfu got on last.
However, as soon as he stepped one foot onto the carriage and saw the interior, his brows furrowed deeply.
The carriage wasn't very spacious. Just him and Jingzhen were already almost full. Although Baoya and the other three weren't very tall, there wasn't enough room for them to sit, unless...
Just as he was thinking about it, Jingzhen suddenly reached out and naturally picked up Baoya and sat her on his lap, leaving an empty space next to him.
Yun Chengfu's face suddenly darkened. He looked up at Jing Zhen, who was looking at him with a gentle and innocent face.
He suddenly felt that Jingzhen was not as innocent, gentle, and harmless as he appeared to be.
"Brother Yun, come up quickly." Jing Zhen urged.
Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue were all looking at him, waiting for him to get in the car.
Yun Chengfu took a deep breath, lifted his skirt, and stepped forward.
On the other side sat the sisters Yunhua and Yunyue. He put his arms around Yunyue and held her on his lap, then squeezed in and sat down.
Across from her, Baoya naturally put her arms around Jingzhen's neck, sat on his lap, dangling her little feet and chewing sesame candy.
Yun Chengfu clenched his fists and turned his head to look out the window.
But Baoya stretched out her little hand and handed him some candy: "Brother, this sesame candy is so sweet. Brother Xiaojing gave it to me."
Yun Chengfu: ...
He didn't want to accept it, but Baoya's smile was so warm that he couldn't bear to refuse.
Yun Chengfu took the candy with a stern face, but didn't want to eat it, so he stuffed it into Yun Yue's palm.
Yun Yue refused and said, "Big brother, please eat it. Third sister and I already have some. Brother Jingzhen also gave some to us."
Yun Chengfu: ...
His hand holding the candy was suspended in the air. When he looked up, Jingzhen opposite him was carefully wiping the candy residue from Baoya's mouth with his fingers.
Noticing his gaze, Jingzhen withdrew his hand and nodded politely to him.
Yun Chengfu felt a little chest tightness, so he took a deep breath.
He suddenly felt that this might be the most unpleasant vacation he had ever had since he started school.
