Departure to Beijing
Drops of drizzle fell on the red silk in the streets of Xianyu City, and the sound of the soft wind and the fragrance of flowers were heard.
The Madam stared at the tea foam in the cup and said in a faint voice, "No movement yet?"
Lan Fang uttered an "ouch," covering her mouth as she said, "I heard from the sister in the kitchen that Erlang asked them to prepare a bowl of hangover soup last night, but they couldn't bring it in."
"You're such a grown-up, and you still listen to this?" Li Yuqing curled her lips for once. She slowly sipped the tea and spoke again, "Why didn't you send it in?"
Raindrops fell in front of the archway, and she stood up from the wheelchair and pushed it back into the inner room step by step.
"Miss, you're still talking about me. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Lan Fang, you are really getting more and more outrageous."
The maidservant in charge put the wheelchair away with a smile, and when she looked up, she saw a hint of joy on Li Yuqing's face.
She suddenly remembered that it was she who had heard that the young lady from the Gui family had recovered from her mental retardation, and she came to tell her excitedly. Her original intention was to sigh that the world is unpredictable, but the Buddhist beads in the young lady's hand suddenly broke and fell to the ground.
Seeing the young lady squatting down and looking at the mess on the ground, she suddenly curled her lips and said, "It's not good for the younger brother to succeed the older brother, but it's also a good thing for the younger brother to succeed the younger brother. Lan Fang, find the marriage certificate from that year and let me see it."
A match made in heaven or a willful act?
It doesn’t matter now. She only knows that this old matter in the general’s mansion has finally come to an end.
The big white cat jumped all the way from the roof to the bottom, scratching the fabric next to the wheelchair with its claws.
But before he could get comfortable, Lan Fang took him away.
"Miaomiao, my dear little ancestor, this wheelchair was left by Dalang, so you can't just grab it."
The cat rolled on the ground with its butt tilted to one side, feeling dizzy.
It scratched the door last night and was taken away by that stupid dog Momo by the neck.
Today, it wanted to scratch the door again, but was carried away by the little general, who seriously told it not to disturb Guiyao. If you didn't know, you would think there was another person in the general's mansion who could communicate with animals. It could only meow and curse and run back to the lady's residence.
He was arrested again.
Lan Fang laughed at it: "Ever since the young general returned to the mansion, you haven't been back here very often. Occasionally, when the young lady misses you, she has to order the servants to look for you."
"Meow." Miaomiao blinked, walked into her arms and rolled over.
Unfortunately, the voice of a servant suddenly came from a distance.
"Aunt Lan Fang, the carriage has been waiting for half a day. When will the young general set off?"
The big white cat wanted to act coquettishly, but accidentally rolled away. It looked up in confusion and found that Lan Fang had returned to her serious expression. "Why are you asking me instead of asking the young general?"
Miaomiao stretched her body as if she was used to it. Sure enough, after the boy had disappeared, Lan Fang picked it up with a smile and walked towards the inner room.
Here, I and my raccoon slave don't go out.
The newlyweds over there are too lazy to put on their makeup.
Guiyao slept peacefully, a rare sleep. It was peaceful and dreamless. When she opened her eyes, there were no sounds of small animals or any movement of the system.
She rubbed her red eyes, touched the bright red wedding quilt covering herself under her long eyelashes, and suddenly her toes stepped on something.
Her breath hitched.
I don’t know if it was because of the noise last night, but the shells of the longans on the bed were accidentally broken.
It doesn't matter.
fine.
The bed curtain in front of her was suddenly lifted, and the young lady's watery eyes suddenly saw Ren Beixi's cold and hard face.
Wuwuwuwu, no way...
She lay back down unwillingly, wrapped up in bed in an unknown way, with her face buried in the soft pillow, leaving only her earlobe exposed, red as if dripping with blood.
After a while, I heard the man sigh as his hands carefully adjusted the curtains that blocked the light from the bed curtains. Outside, the sky was bright. Listening carefully, I could hear the raindrops hitting the fragile stamens of the flowers. Are the spring days long?
His voice was deep: "The clothes are by the bed. I'll go get some food."
Hearing the man walk away steadily, Gui Yao held her waist, took a deep breath and sat up, and suddenly bumped into the cold face of Ren Beixi who was in the distance and had not yet stepped out of the door.
"Don't look!"
She covered her face.
After hearing the man's "hmm", the young lady stuck her head out again and saw that the door had been carefully closed by Ren Beixi, with a paper-cut of the double happiness character stuck on it.
She didn't know what she was shy about.
She wore a bright red Huanhua brocade with a white gauze dress embroidered with peach and plum patterns in gold thread. The colors were different from what she usually wore in the past, and it was a bit complicated to wear.
Gui Yao, with her long hair not yet tied into a bun, stood in front of the bronze mirror and turned around, looking left and right. Although she had not put on any makeup, her cheeks were already rosy.
When Ren Beixi entered, he was holding a plate of fried meat with side dishes and half a bowl of rice. "This is the food cooked by the kitchen. If you don't like it, I've prepared some jujube flower pastries and mung bean and osmanthus cakes for the way. I've also prepared a bowl of red date water to cool you down on the way. When we pass by the market, you can also buy some pancakes from the place you often eat at."
Upon hearing this, Guiyao picked up her chopsticks and put them down again.
She looked up at him and said, "Why do I feel like this sentence of yours has more words than all the words you said to me before we got married?"
After a while, she muttered something.
This sentence of mine is also quite long.
It was raining in the courtyard. Gui Yao was sitting by the window eating while the maid beside her was combing her hair.
The maid loved to laugh: "Madam has always been extremely beautiful, and today, it seems that Madam's complexion is even better."
Gui Yao nodded seriously after hearing this. The 200 points for completing the main task had been credited to her account last night.
But she was busy.
After letting the system allocate all 200 points to her basic health value, Gui Xiaoniang can now be considered to have a healthy physique.
Thinking of this, she placed her knuckles on her left wrist, twisted it gently, and felt her own shallow pulse.
A message came to my mind:
/Hello host, the Animal Mind Reading Notebook is currently being updated to unlock new maps. The intelligent service will be restored in three days. During this period, tasks will be released as usual and points will be collected as usual. /
Somehow, ever since she woke up today and found that the system was updating again, Gui Yao always felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
She lowered her eyes and tied the bag she was carrying. Finally, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and held it up to look at it. With Ren Beixi protecting her on this trip, there shouldn't be any accidents.
Before leaving.
Her uncle and aunt came to say goodbye to her, and carefully gave her many instructions regarding her health. They also gave her two large bags of Gui family's ancestral medicines for free.
This time I entered Beijing.
It was Ren Beixi who was going to serve at the emperor's feet.
"You talk like someone who doesn't hold an official position."
The uncle whispered something in Guiyao's ear, and then said with a smile: "Wait in the capital. After a while, when I get a job, I will come to see you with my aunt."
"Don't be poor."
The aunt pulled Guiyao aside, held her hand, tied a cinnamon-colored sachet around the young lady's waist, and then looked at her carefully. The rosy brocade seemed to have fallen on someone's cheek.
"If someone hurts you, makes you unhappy, or if you have something to discuss with us, you can go through the clinic."
The rain was getting lighter and lighter, and the convoy had already loaded the goods.
Not only did it contain gifts for half a month's journey, but Ren Beixi also took the initiative to stuff in a lot of Gui Yao's things that she had spent the past two months in the general's mansion. She was in poor health, so many of the furniture and items she needed could be used directly when she arrived in the capital.
I'm about to leave.
Gui Yao stood under the eaves and looked back at the grand and open main gate of the general's mansion.
Li Yuqing still sat in the seat in the main hall.
She stroked Miaomiao in her arms, looking at the watery almond eyes of her new daughter-in-law without saying a word.
"Miaomiao still ignores you?" Guiyao slowly stepped back a few steps. Suddenly, a big black dog jumped out from beside her feet. It retracted its tongue today and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"It was originally the cat of the General's Mansion."
"I originally thought it would be sad when we left, but now it doesn't even want to see me."
Gui Yao couldn't help but rub the heartbroken dog's head. After a while, she stuck her head in to take a look.
Miaomiao's beautiful blue eyes opened when she left silently, and closed again when she looked back silently.
It was a little far away, so she couldn't hear what it was thinking, but she could hear Ren Beixi's deep voice behind her.
"Leave."
Seeing that she was slightly stunned, he simply put his arm around her thin shoulders, held the umbrella handle with her hand, and stepped over the threshold.
In the rain, Ren Beixi lowered his eyes and looked back.
Every Grain Rain, my mother would sit in the wheelchair left by my brother, and sometimes she would sit quietly in the yard, watching the leaves fall to the ground.
Before he was stationed in the north, the young general was not yet a young general, but just the silent Ren Erlang in the mansion.
He silently witnessed his brother's fame in the capital, silently watched him burn the manuscript of Fenghuang Yin, and silently watched his life stop at that year.
A man's eyes are kind, a woman's eyes are deep and silent.
Li Yuqing looked at the worn osmanthus fruit in her hand. She had cruelly thrown it at the foot of the bed, and then she picked it up carefully on that rainy night.
She lowered her eyes to look at the big white cat licking its paws in her arms and pinched its ears.
The vitality of the general's mansion, which had been barren for many years, was now dissipated with the departure of his son and daughter-in-law.
Are you seeing me off?
She looked at the convoy that was leaving in a triumphant manner and called out the maid's name, but in the end she could not bear to pronounce these two words.
The door closed.
Guiyao sat in the carriage, hugging her pillow and taking a nap.
In fact, she slept enough today, but when she opened her eyes she would have to face Ren Beixi, so she decided to go to sleep.
The trip takes about ten days.
She subconsciously changed her sitting position, feeling helpless. Even on a high-speed train, she had never been on a train for more than ten hours...
"Be careful." The man's voice was deep.
He insisted on protecting her and holding her, so she took the opportunity to stretch and leaned softly in his arms.
"My back hurts a little, can you give me a massage?" Gui Yao stuffed the pillow against her chest and rested her chin on it. She guessed that she would have to rely on this soft pillow to sleep on the road.
Ren Beixi saw her actions and seemed to chuckle, causing her to push him away again and not let him touch her.
“Ahem…”
"Sir, we have arrived at the official post."
When Gui Yao heard the sound, she immediately walked outside and jumped down the stairs in three or two steps. As soon as she entered the post station, she saw a familiar man dressed as a guard.
She leaned in closer and narrowed her eyes.
The first day of the return journey.
At the time of Chen, I miss Jiaojiao very much. At the time of Si, I miss Jiaojiao very much. At the time of Wu, I miss Jiaojiao very much.
At the hour of Wei, I miss Jiaojiao very much. At the hour of Shen, I miss Jiaojiao very much. At the hour of You, I miss Jiaojiao very much.
Now a different handwriting is added:
At Xu time, I really want to be with Jiaojiao
Ren Beixi, who was upstairs, had already put away his things. He lowered his eyes to look for Gui Yao's whereabouts. His palm groped on the wooden railing, and he just saw her eyes moving and she smiled with her sleeves covered.
When going downstairs.
I have heard the two of them talking back and forth.
Li Cong: "Sister Gui, how did you know I was here?"
Gui Yao: “Hmph.”
Ren Beixi said in a calm voice, "The post station is spacious, and you are the only one dressed like this and holding a pen. Change into your normal clothes tomorrow."
After saying that, he grabbed Guiyao's clothes by the back of her neck, half-hugged her in his arms and walked towards the room upstairs.
