The commotion in front of the post station died down, the sky gradually brightened, the people inside woke up, and people also rushed in from the road outside.
"Is the postmaster so polite as to welcome guests at the door?"
Seeing the postmasters and postmen standing outside the door looking at the road, the newcomer asked in surprise.
The post station here is too polite.
"We're seeing Miss Jun off. Why are you being so conceited?" Someone answered immediately.
"Miss Jun is gone?"
This statement caused many people inside to come out and ask questions.
After getting the confirmation, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"I would like to ask Miss Jun one more question."
"Miss Jun, haven't you seen that I have no omen of danger?"
The newcomers were puzzled by the bustle.
"Who is Miss Jun?" he asked.
This stopped the noise, and everyone looked at him and rolled their eyes.
"Who else is Miss Jun in the world?" they said, "Of course it's Miss Jun Jiuling."
The newcomer immediately understood what was going on, and remembering that Miss Jun had already left, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
"Just one step away, just one step away from meeting Miss Jun."
There was noise outside the post station again, and Miss Jun's carriage, which was already traveling on the road in the early morning, was much noisier than usual.
The hurried sound of horse hooves did not stop until it reached Miss Jun's car.
"Jiuling, look." Fang Chengyu said.
Miss Jun's car curtain was open, and she had already seen the bunch of yellow apricots in his hand.
"Are the apricots ripe yet?" she said.
"I saw it on the way here, and it's edible after I tasted it." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, handing over the apricots.
Miss Jun took it.
Fang Chengyu rode his horse around the car again.
"Is it delicious?" he asked.
Miss Jun took a bite and nodded with a smile.
"It's delicious." she said.
Fang Chengyu smiled happily and urged his horse to go around the other side.
"Young Master, please get in the car and sit for a while."
Chen Qi, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, couldn't bear to watch it any longer and said with a light cough.
A fast horse gallops, a slow horse goes around, does this child have lice and can't stop for a moment?
"I'm not tired." Fang Chengyu said, looking at Miss Jun, "Jiuling, I rode all the way here, I'm not tired at all."
"How long have you been learning?" Miss Jun asked with a smile.
"I've learned it for half a year." Fang Chengyu said with a little pride.
"That technique is really good." Miss Jun said with a smile.
"Really?" Fang Chengyu smiled and urged the horse to go around the car again. "I have learned a lot. I can shoot arrows on horseback."
As he said this, he took off the bow and arrow from the horse.
"Jiuling, let me show you."
"I'm a good student too. I'll go catch a rabbit for you."
That's enough! Do you want to grab the moon right away? And show off your sword skills?
Chen Qi couldn't help but hold his forehead. Fang Jinxiu was so simple and formal in her words, but why was her brother such a childish chatterbox?
Miss Jun looked at Fang Chengyu and waved with a smile.
"Come and sit down," she said.
"Okay, I'm tired of riding a horse and want to take a carriage." Fang Chengyu said with a smile.
You get tired too quickly, don't you? Chen Qi glared at me from behind, "What did you say when I asked you to sit down?"
It is really unimaginable that the young master of the Fang family, the honest younger brother of Fang Jinxiu, is actually such a person.
Fang Chengyu sat next to the driver, took the tea handed to him by Miss Jun, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Grown taller." Miss Jun said with a smile, "and fatter."
Fang Chengyu quickly held his arm to show her.
"I'm still strong," he said. "After you left, I insisted on practicing boxing and archery every day."
Miss Jun smiled and nodded.
"I can see that," she said, taking out her handkerchief and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Fang Chengyu smiled and let her wipe his sweat without feeling uncomfortable at all.
"Why did you run so far to pick me up? Are you sure your family will be at ease?" Miss Jun said.
"It's closer than going to the capital." Fang Chengyu said, "Don't worry, my family will be at ease when I do things."
Compared to the shyness he had when he first recovered from illness and interacted with people a year ago, Fang Chengyu is now more relaxed and at ease.
In comparison, he is much luckier than his younger brother Jiuqi.
He has been trapped in his home for ten years due to illness. Although Jiuqi is not sick, he is also trapped. Since he entered the Prince Huai's Palace, he has never gone out again. He can only see the world of the Prince Huai's Palace. He doesn't know how long he will be locked up.
We have to get Jiuqi out of this trouble quickly, otherwise he might be in trouble.
"Is it very tiring?" Fang Chengyu suddenly asked, looking at her expression.
Of course, this will be hard work.
Miss Jun was slightly startled, then came back to her senses and looked at Fang Chengyu's concerned eyes.
"It's OK." She smiled. "It's not easy to do things. It's good to have the opportunity to do it. I'm not afraid of hard work."
Fang Chengyu nodded.
"Yes, Jiuling is right," he said, "and they all did a great job, it was amazing."
"Is everything okay at home?" Miss Jun said.
Even though it was mentioned in the letters they exchanged, she still asked.
Fang Chengyu also sat up straight immediately.
"Good." He said excitedly, "My grandmother was fascinated by opera and she started a troupe at home, and my mother was busy arranging marriages for my eldest and second sisters."
"...My eldest sister took over a branch...When she first arrived, she was given a warning by the old shopkeeper..."
Among the dozen or so people in the convoy on the road, Fang Chengyu's voice was heard constantly talking and laughing, making the scene very lively.
…
A city can be seen in the distance.
"We've arrived at Yangcheng." someone shouted.
Fang Chengyu's voice in the car behind also stopped.
I'm finally home.
Chen Qi excitedly got up from the car and looked at the city in front of him. Finally, he didn't have to endure Young Master Fang's excitement anymore and could stay here quietly for a while.
"Nine-year-old, I thought of something."
Fang Chengyu's voice came again from the carriage behind.
Chen Qi had a clever idea.
What was he thinking about? He had thought about so many things along the way, from the trees in the yard to the bird's nest under the flower eaves on Miss Jun's desk.
Miss Jun looked at him.
"I'm happy that you're back, my family is happy, and the people of Yangcheng will definitely be happy too, so I asked someone to tell everyone." Fang Chengyu said.
Have you told everyone?
Chen Qi was stunned, which means...
Before he could even think of it, he heard a thunderous noise ahead.
"Miss Jun is back!"
"It's Miss Jun's carriage!"
A huge crowd of people also appeared in front of the city, rushing towards this side.
Well, this is a really good arrangement. There will be people to see you off when you leave Beijing, and there will be people to welcome you when you return home. It's perfect.
Chen Qi looked at Fang Chengyu who was sitting next to Miss Jun in the back. The young people nowadays were really good at pleasing others. He admired them. Maybe he should learn from this young master.
…
The Ning family residence was completely quiet. This quietness was not like the previous leisure, but rather tense. The maids and servants who entered and left were all very cautious.
Madam Ning fell ill on the day Ning Yunzhao returned, and the doctor could not say anything.
Ning Yunzhao stayed there without taking off his clothes and declined all invitations to banquets and visits.
Several days had passed, and Madam Ning's condition had not improved. Instead, the sound of crying could be heard from the room continuously.
"Master, sir, good news, good news."
A maid ran in joyfully, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Madam Ning is already like this, is there any good news?
The maidservants who were holding their breath and keeping silent in the corridor looked at the maid in confusion.
Ning Yunzhao lifted the curtain and came out.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Sir, Miss Jun is back." The maid said happily.
Miss Jun?
Ning Yunzhao was startled, looking a little surprised, she...
Before he could ask, he heard Ning Yunyan's voice behind him.
"What good news is her return?" Ning Yunyan also came over and stared at the maid with raised eyebrows.
The maid was frightened by Ning Yunyan's expression.
"Miss Jun, you are a miracle doctor. Madam's illness..." she said stutteringly.
Before she could finish her words, Ning Yunyan was furious.
"Get out," she screamed.
