Chapter 643 Preparing to Leave
Wanquan was finally carried in by the servants. After playing a prank, Fubao still had a conscience. He cleaned Wanquan up, covered him with a quilt, and asked Banxia to bring him a bowl of sobering soup before going to bed.
Today not only Wan Laoer is happy, but even Fubao is very happy.
Back in his yard, Fubao sat on the bed, touching the black ball and thinking about leaving. They have been in Texas for nearly a month. From the big coats they wore when they came to the padded jackets they wear now, it means that the weather has begun to warm up. Even if it gets colder as they get closer to the border, it won't be too cold and they can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring along the way.
"Sister Banxia, Sister Baizhi, I will be leaving tomorrow. I want to go back and tell my grandmother and the others the good news that my eldest brother is finally engaged. This is the biggest happy event for our Wan family. When my eldest brother gets married, our whole family will come. By then, the general's mansion will definitely be very lively, not as deserted as it is now."
"Miss, have you decided to leave tomorrow? It's only during your time in the general's mansion that the mansion has become lively and looks like a general's mansion. If you leave, the general will definitely never come back and will live in the barracks all day. For the general, the mansion is just a house, not a home. I can see that the general dotes on you very much. Wherever you are, the general will be there. Why don't you stay a little longer?" Banxia persuaded Fubao while washing him.
"No, I've been away for almost half a year. I miss my family, and they must miss me too. I have to go home quickly. I don't know how my mother is doing now. I know my mother must be thinking about me day and night, and looking forward to seeing me. What if she gets sick because of missing me, wouldn't I be heartbroken?" The more Fubao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he felt even more uneasy.
Banxia saw that Fubao's face changed a little while she was talking, which showed that the mother and daughter must have a very good relationship. Banxia hurriedly persuaded her: "Miss, if you leave tomorrow, isn't it too hasty? The general just decided on the marriage today. If you leave tomorrow, will the general feel disappointed?"
"Then I'll go around Texas and see if there's anything I can buy. I'll buy some local specialties and we'll leave the day after tomorrow." Fu Bao said with certainty this time.
"Well, the lady should talk to the general in person tomorrow so that he can be mentally prepared." Banxia is serious and careful in her work, and her mind is also quite delicate.
"Well, thank you, Sister Banxia, for reminding me."
The next morning, Fubao got up early, packed up her things and ran to Wanquan's yard.
"Big brother, are you up?" Fubao leaned on the door frame and stuck half of his head inside to look.
"Miss, the general seems to be practicing with his gun. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Yeah, okay." Fubao nodded immediately, and Banxia picked her up and went to the martial arts training ground in the front yard.
Wan Quan was seen wearing only a black shirt, dancing with the spear in his hand vigorously.
"Wow, big brother, you are so awesome." Fubao clapped his hands with a happy smile on his face.
When Wanquan heard Fubao's voice, he stopped quickly. The servant handed him a towel and Wanquan wiped the sweat off his face.
"Sister, why did you get up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Brother, I'm going out to buy some Texas specialties. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I want you to accompany me. Is that okay?"
"Why? Didn't Second Uncle say we would leave tomorrow?" Wan Quan was obviously a little panicked and asked quickly.
"I haven't told Dad yet, so I'll tell Big Brother first. It's warm today, so it won't be too cold to travel. I'm going back to the border to tell everyone that Big Brother and Sister Shiyu are engaged. When Big Brother gets married, our whole family will come to the wedding and Big Brother will be able to see everyone."
Fubao noticed the panic in Wanquan's expression and quickly covered it up with Wanquan's marriage, making him full of hope and looking forward to the next reunion.
Sure enough, Wan Quan's face looked better, and Fubao no longer felt so guilty. She felt that although she had left, she did not want her elder brother to be unhappy.
Fubao reached out for Wanquan to hold him, but Wanquan waved his hand quickly: "No, I'm sweating all over, I don't want to stink you, wait for me to wash up, and then I'll go for a walk on the street with you."
"No, Fubao doesn't dislike big brother."
Wan Quan then smiled like a fool and hugged his sweet and soft sister in his arms.
"Big brother, can you let Sister Shiyu come out and go shopping with us? I'm leaving Texas tomorrow, and I want to see Sister Shiyu again. You two are already engaged, so you should be able to meet, right?"
According to the customs of Da Qi, engaged men and women were allowed to meet once or twice occasionally with tacit consent from their parents.
"This..." Wan Quan's face turned red. Yesterday was the first time he saw Liu Shiyu's face clearly. It turned out that the young lady of the Liu family was so beautiful. He even felt that he was not worthy of her.
"Big brother, are you embarrassed? How about I post a message to Sister Shiyu?"
Fubao tilted his head and looked at Wanquan. Seeing that his face was a little red, he knew that he must be shy.
"Then you can post the invitation. We just got engaged, so it seems a little inappropriate for me to invite her."
"Well, okay. Then big brother should dress up nicely. Sister Shiyu didn't see you clearly yesterday, right? You have to behave well today." Fubao reminded Wanquan with a smile.
Wanquan was teased by his sister and didn't care about being shy anymore, so he put Fubao down.
"Then wait for me. I'll be there soon. I'll take a shower first and change into my best clothes. Okay?"
"Yeah, I'm going to help my big brother choose clothes." Fubao volunteered.
Wan Quan patted Fu Bao's little head, and then instructed Ban Xia and Bai Zhi: "Take the young lady to my room to pick out clothes."
"Yes, General."
Fubao ran into Wanquan's bedroom and excitedly opened the closet, but everything he saw was all black, and the styles were basically the same. Fubao gave up directly. What else could he choose? It seemed that his elder brother really needed to get married. Without a wife, no one would make clothes for him.
Fubao closed the closet door with disgust, his little face twisted into a bitter one.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Banxia saw Fubao looking very happy just now, but in the blink of an eye, his face turned bitter.
"Sister Banxia, are all my brother's clothes here?"
"Yes, the general only has this one bedroom, and all his things should be here. What happened?"
"Look at it yourself, what else are you picking?"
Banxia opened Wanquan's wardrobe in confusion and burst out laughing. No wonder the general's expression just now was a little strange. It turned out that he was deliberately teasing the young lady. During the time she came to the general's mansion, she had indeed never seen the general wearing clothes of other colors.
"That lady is going to the street today just in time to buy the general some more nice-looking clothes."
"Yes, I didn't expect that. Sister Shiyu is going too, so I can ask her to help make the decision."
Fubao immediately became interested again.
Banxia and Baizhi looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. The young lady sometimes acted like a little adult, but most of the time, she was still a child.
