Chapter 88 Settle down and hit the road

After discussion, everyone prepared to go to the capital together in advance.

Second Uncle An gave his attendant Mo Wenba to An Rui to keep at his side and reminded him in his ear that he was a man and should take good care of his cousin when he went out.

An Rui agreed verbally, but felt sad in his heart.

Whether in terms of fighting strength or brainpower, the big devil cousin is far better than him.

If he really encounters trouble and can't even deal with his cousin, he will just be killed.

However, in order to comfort his old father, An Rui agreed to everything seriously.

Aunt An has been like this since the death of An Xin's father. She herself has no daughter, so An Xin always keeps her and Uncle An in mind in everything he does. In her heart, she also regards An Xin as her own warm and caring little girl.

This time An Xin and An Rui are going to the capital, and Second Uncle An has to stay to help run the academy. He also has an embroidery building to run and cannot accompany them.

Aunt An had been preparing for the wedding ceremony for the cousins ​​with red eyes these days. She heard that the capital city was cold in winter, so she made thick robes, capes, and cloaks for the two of them in her embroidery building...

Here, An Xin put all her important things into the safer secret cabinet of the system. When she came out after packing up her valuables, she saw Qingfeng Mingyue coming forward and kneeling in front of her.

Seeing the two of them like this, An Xin asked, "What happened?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, and determination flashed in their eyes.

Qingfeng: "Master and I, our servants, have been bought by the master since we were young and have served you and never left. You should bring us with you when you go to the capital this time."

Mingyue continued, "Yes, Master, I can't bear to leave you. I will follow you and serve you for the rest of my life."

"Why are you two not planning to get married and are relying on me?" An Xin looked at the two girls whose eyes were red with anxiety and smiled roguely, "Alas! It's a pity that your master is missing a part and can't give you a happy sex life."

"Master, we are talking to you seriously." Mingyuejiao said unwillingly with a red face.

An Xin laughed out loud. It seemed that these two girls were so aroused by her teasing that their cheeks turned red.

Under Qingfeng Mingyue's pretended glare, An Xin cleared his throat, restrained his lewd expression, and said seriously: "I didn't intend to let you suffer along the way."

"I am not afraid of hardship." Qingfeng and Mingyue said at the same time.

An Xin: "Since you are not afraid of suffering on the road, then go back and pack up and go together."

"Yes, I'll go right away." The two of them persuaded their master to agree to take them with him. Then they stood up and hurriedly went back to pack their things, as if they were afraid that An Xin would go back on his word.

An Xin looked at Qingfeng Mingyue running out happily and smiled.

She originally didn't want to bring them with her because she felt that it didn't matter if she had someone to serve her, as she could take care of herself anyway.

However, she had a feeling that she might not be back from the capital in the short term, so it would be more convenient for her to do things with servants she trusted around her.

Since the two girls were willing to go, An Xin agreed to take them with her.

Leng Xiangbai has been living in the front yard of the academy in the past few years. He doesn't have many things, and many of them were bought by An Xin when she bought food, clothing and daily necessities for An Rui, and she also gave him some of them.

Seeing that he was about to leave the room he had lived in for a long time, Leng Xiangbai felt deeply reluctant.

In the past few years, he was called to spend the New Year and other holidays with the An family. I don’t know when he started to regard this place as his home.

Except for An Xin and Uncle An's family who were busy packing their luggage.

Leng Xiangbai was feeling nostalgic.

Here, Li Ziyu entrusted the management of the ten thousand acres of fertile land left by the Li family to the old housekeeper, and asked his uncle and aunt, the Zhu couple, to look after them, so that no big mistakes would occur even if he was not around.

After all, the indentures of all the servants of the Li family are in his hands. Coupled with his current status as a juren, these servants will not do anything stupid as long as they don't want to die.

Xiang Zhu's mother wiped her tears while packing the luggage for her son and nephew who had been raised by her as her son since childhood.

Her husband, Master Zhu, complained: "You worry about your two children's lack of progress every day. Now that they have made progress, you are reluctant to let them fly high. You women are such a jerk!"

As he spoke, Mr. Zhu's eyes became moist as he thought of his only son's imminent departure, and his reluctance to let him go was evident in his words.

Li Ziyu and Zhu Shijing looked at each other in silence.

Jiang Zhou from the Jiang family was no longer sarcastic. Seeing the reluctance in his parents' eyes, he lowered his voice and comforted them.

"Dad and Mom, I will take you to the capital after my son passes the exam. Don't be sad."

Jiang Zhou is Jiang Zhou, and his words of advice to others are always so arrogant. In his words, passing the imperial examination is as easy as picking cabbages in your own yard.

The Liu family's situation was much simpler. Both the grandfather and grandson were going back to the capital, so all that was left was to pack up and prepare to leave.

Doctor Su originally came here with his old friend General Liu. After setting up the clinic, he could leave without any worries.

It took ten days before everyone was ready.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The original plan was to take the boat which would be faster, plus An Xin intended for Li Ziyu to avoid him, so the original destiny of the inexplicable robbery and killing by mountain bandits was to choose to take the water route.

But man proposes, God disposes, and plans cannot keep up with changes.

Because General Liu had a lot of old wounds from fighting in the border areas when he was young, it was too humid when he was working on the boat in the winter, and he felt uncomfortable all over and even had pain in some parts of his body.

Under such circumstances, after discussion, An Xin and his companions decided to take a horse carriage to the capital city by land.

That day, early in the morning.

The servants moved the gifts to the back of the two horse-drawn carriages of the An family, covered them with a large oilcloth, and tied them up with ropes. An Xin walked out with Qingfeng Mingyue carrying a bundle in her hands.

An Rui and Leng Xiangbai were already standing there waiting for her.

Uncle An and Aunt An looked at them with slightly red eyes, and kept reminding them to take good care of themselves.

Leng Xiangbai also received the care of Second Aunt An, who liked him after all, and handed him a bundle, "Xiangbai, this is the thick clothes that Aunt An made for you. The clothes of the two siblings have been put in the carriage. This is for you."

Looking at the bulging bag, Leng Xiangbai blinked, suppressed the wetness in his eyes, and said in a low voice with gratitude: "Thank you, Aunt An."

Aunt An wiped her eyes and said, "You all need to take good care of yourselves and don't let us worry."

An Xin went forward and hugged Second Aunt An, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will take care of them."

Uncle An saw that it was getting late and patted his wife comfortingly.

"Let them set off early, so as not to waste time and arrive at night without a place to rest."

Second Aunt An: "Yes, yes, yes, don't waste time."

An Xin: "Second uncle, second aunt, take care."

An Rui looked at his parents reluctantly, tears in his eyes, "Mom and Dad, I'm gone. I will miss you."

Second Aunt An held back her tears and said, "You little bastard, take good care of your cousin and yourself."

Leng Xiangbai: "Take care, auntie."
