Old Mrs. Fang stood in the hall for a moment, and the worry on her face faded away.
I wonder where Miss Jun and the others are? How is Chengyu?
That's so far.
Chengyu had never been out of the house and walked so far in a short time.
And he didn't bring any maids or servants with him, as he was used to being served by others.
Jun Zhenzhen is also a person who is used to being spoiled. Is it possible for her to take good care of Chengyu?
She walked out of the hall with a worried look on her face. She didn't need to hide her worry because it was a natural reaction.
Fang Jinxiu came towards her and Old Lady Fang stopped.
The old lady found out the next day after Fang Jinxiu arrived at the manor.
"I'm here to be grounded." Fang Jinxiu said proactively.
Old Mrs. Fang had a complicated expression. Liu'er had already told her about what happened that day. Although she was reluctant, she still pointed out that Fang Jinxiu had made a great contribution.
This made Mrs. Fang not know whether to punish her or praise her.
Liu'er said that Fang Jinxiu spoke very similarly to Miss Xuejun.
"Because I hate her, I like to imitate her appearance and way of speaking behind her back." Fang Jinxiu said unhappily.
Although the old lady didn't quite understand the logic behind this, it didn't matter.
Knowing that someone would come to spy in the middle of the night, and fortunately Fang Jinxiu was there to avoid being discovered, Mrs. Fang was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She was terrified, so she decided to let Fang Jinxiu continue to pretend to be Jun Zhenzhen in the manor.
Until it was completely discovered.
No matter what, Fang Jinxiu has made a contribution.
"You don't have to be grounded anymore." Old Mrs. Fang said, "This is what I told you to do."
Fang Jinxiu said nothing. After a moment of silence, she turned and left. Old Lady Fang called her again.
The child didn't ask a single question from the time she ordered him to stay on the manor until he was taken back after the incident.
"Jinxiu. Do you want to know what's going on?" she whispered.
Fang Jinxiu turned around and shook her head.
"Grandma," she said seriously, "my elder sister and I never want to ask you what you are doing or why you are doing it, because we believe that you are doing it for our own good and for the good of our family. If there is anything we must know, we want to know. Whatever you need us to do, whether it is to act crazy or to be smart, we will do it."
There were tears in Mrs. Fang's eyes.
The Fang family is so unfortunate. The Fang family is so fortunate.
"Good boy." She said, unable to resist, she stretched out her hand. "Good boy."
She felt a little uncomfortable after making this move.
After her husband died, she was busy supporting the family business and put away her tenderness. She was happy to be kind to her children and grandchildren, but she almost never held them in her arms.
But once you extend your hand, you can't take it back.
Otherwise it would be so embarrassing for the child.
Fang Jinxiu looked a little uncomfortable when she saw what Old Lady Fang did.
From childhood to adulthood, she has decided to think of herself as a boy. Being held in the arms of an elder and acting coquettishly is not something a boy can do.
But grandma has already extended her hand, so we can't ask her to take it back.
Otherwise it would be so embarrassing for grandma.
Fang Jinxiu walked forward and snuggled in Old Lady Fang's arms.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and tried hard not to let the other notice their stiff bodies, trying their best to express that they enjoyed this warmth.
"Grandma. We will live a good life, right?" Fang Jinxiu said.
Old Mrs. Fang stroked her shoulder and nodded.
"Yes, we will, we will," she said. After a pause, she said, "God is fair."
God is finally going to give justice to the Fang family.
The shopkeeper Song threw the tea brought by the waiter onto the table. The clinking sound of the teacup expressed his irritation.
"Send someone to look for him and find out where Young Master Fang is," he said.
Several men standing aside hurriedly responded yes, but when they were about to leave, they were stopped by the shopkeeper Song.
"Have you ever been to the temple some time ago?" he asked, twirling his beard.
The men looked at each other.
"I have been there," one person said. "I met Monk Nianzhi after Lingzhi was reported to be pregnant."
It seems true.
The shopkeeper Song waved his hands.
"Go ahead. It's a rare thing for someone in Yangcheng to hide under my nose." He said.
It is indeed not easy to hide someone in Yangcheng, but now that this person has left Huaiqing Prefecture and entered Kaifeng Prefecture, he can no longer cover his eyes.
“This is the old capital.”
As the carriage drove along the mountain road, Lei Zhonglian couldn't help but point to the bright early summer fields ahead.
Miss Jun also looked ahead, with a glimmer of sadness in her eyes.
“That was decades ago,” she said.
She was not born yet at that time, and her grandfather was not yet the emperor, but just a prince.
The Jin soldiers marched southward and threatened the capital. The emperor somehow managed to lead the army in person, but was defeated in Hebei and captured by the Jin soldiers.
There was chaos in the court. My grandfather hastily ascended the throne and moved the capital to Nanjing, while rescuing my great-grandfather who had been captured.
But the Jin people were untrustworthy. They took the money but then went back on their word and killed my great-grandfather. As a result, Zhu Shan, who was still a small colonel in the army, got angry and ran to the north.
After a series of great victories, he drove the Jin army back and defeated them. He also shot the Jin emperor to death with one arrow, causing internal chaos among the Jin people. He avenged his great-grandfather and was credited with great merit. His grandfather conferred him the title of prince.
I heard these old stories from my grandparents and father, and occasionally my master also talked about them a few times.
When my grandfather was alive, he had thought about returning to Kaifeng. Although it had been recovered and had been stable for so many years, everyone was scared and the proposal was eventually shelved.
Her father would occasionally talk about how great Kaifeng was, but she and her sister didn't feel anything because they had never lived there.
"But this time we won't enter Kaifeng City." She said, looking at the map in her hand and pointing, "We will go through the mountains here and take the shortest route to Runan."
Lei Zhonglian turned sideways and looked at the route she pointed out and responded yes.
At first, he didn't answer so straightforwardly.
Although he hadn't been out for more than ten years, he had been traveling for more than twenty years after all. He was definitely much more experienced than this delicate young lady from an official family.
Maybe that's why Mrs. Fang asked him to catch the car.
Herding was just an excuse, in reality he was asked to escort them.
Escort.
After more than ten years, he had to escort the young master of the Fang family again.
Lei Zhonglian felt mixed emotions. Was the old lady from the Fang family trusting him, or was she trying to verify him? So she simply didn't even send any guards, and let the three of them go on their journey alone.
No matter what the Fang family's reason was, Lei Zhonglian knew what he had to do.
I will escort them wherever they want to go.
However, things were completely different from what we imagined.
This young lady was extremely powerful and arbitrary. She was the one who pointed out the way and decided whether to move forward or stop. Sometimes, even when they couldn't find a place to stay and had to sleep outdoors, she was the one who chose the place.
Does she understand? Can she tell the direction by looking at the sun, moon and stars? Can she tell the terrain to see if there are snakes or insects? Is she a delicate official lady who has never been out of the house?
"I have been out." Miss Jun said seriously, "I came to Yangcheng from Funing, and it took me a month."
One month?
Lei Zhonglian was speechless.
He has learned more by walking for only one month than someone who has been walking for more than ten years.
She is truly gifted.
