Chapter 437 Preparing to Leave
Although Liang Mingxuan was reluctant to leave this place, he was even more reluctant to be separated from his elder brother and sister-in-law, so he also expressed his desire to go.
Although the teachers in the county school were reluctant to let him go, they were also happy for him.
Their knowledge is certainly good, and they are very confident about this, but compared with the numerous geniuses in the capital, it is a bit lacking.
Liang Mingxuan's talent is the best they have ever seen in their lives. If he can find a famous teacher in the capital, his future will be limitless.
The teachers taught Liang Mingxuan earnestly, and he listened respectfully, nodding in agreement from time to time.
The gentlemen nodded in agreement, all praising him: "This child, at such a young age, is so composed, unperturbed by praise or criticism. He's certainly better than many adults. He's a genius, truly different from the average person."
You should know that although the uncle and sister-in-law did not publicize the fact that Liang Minglang was conferred a title and was appointed an official, they did not hide it from the gentlemen, and the gentlemen were all aware of it.
If someone else were in this situation, they would have become complacent and frivolous.
Xu Zhichun discussed with Liang Lizheng and others and arranged several banquets. They held a banquet in the village to entertain the entire village, and also held a banquet in the county school to entertain the entire county school. They also held banquets in the city to entertain County Magistrate Lu, the Qin family and many other wealthy and gentry families.
County Magistrate Lu was also promoted. Not long after Xu Zhichun and others left, County Magistrate Lu also took his wife and daughter to Huzhou to serve as the prefect of Huzhou.
Everyone was about to set off on a journey, and they were hurriedly packing their things, which actually diluted a lot of the sadness of parting.
Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin invited Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan to visit, and Lu Xiaoyue was also invited.
Mrs. Qin was very reluctant to part with Xu Zhichun, and Qin Ning'an was even more reluctant to part with Liang Mingxuan and Lu Xiaoyue. He had always been simple-minded, and his eyes turned red when he said he was reluctant to part with them. He wiped his eyes and couldn't help crying loudly.
"What should I do if you all leave? I want to go too, but my parents won't let me. But they used to say I was grown up, but now they say I'm still young."
Lu Xiaoyue said, "Mingxuan is going to the capital, and my parents and I are going to Huzhou. You said you wanted to go with us, so where are you going?"
Qin Ning'an choked—well, he, he, he, didn't seem to have considered this issue.
Qin Ning'an looked at this, then looked at that, feeling so conflicted. He wanted to go to both, and for a moment he forgot to cry.
Lu Xiaoyue laughed and attacked without mercy: "I think uncle and aunt are right. You are not grown up yet. You should stay at home."
"you--"
Qin Ning'an choked again and almost cried again.
Although she is often criticized by Lu Xiaoyue, how can she still criticize him at this time?
Liang Mingxuan quickly comforted her: "Ning'an, it's fine for you to stay in your hometown. I will come back in the future, or you can go to the capital for a visit in a few years. Just let your uncle and aunt go with you. Besides, we can keep in touch through letters."
Lu Xiaoyue smiled: "Yes, don't forget to come find me when the time comes!"
Qin Ning'an was immediately coaxed and nodded happily and said "hmm".
Mrs. Qin was reluctant to part with Xu Zhichun, so she called Qu Ling to say goodbye to Xu Zhichun.
After not seeing her for many days, Qu Ling was dressed very differently from before. She looked like a rich lady, but not too gorgeous. She was pretty and refreshing, very energetic and neat. It was obvious that Madam Qin was interested in her.
Qu Ling seemed relaxed and natural when interacting with Madam Qin, not as reserved as when she first arrived.
She was a person who knew how to be grateful. When she heard that Xu Zhichun was leaving, she was quite tearful and called out several times, "Sister Xu, take care!"
Mrs. Qin knew that they had a special relationship, so she gave them a chance to say a few words.
Xu Zhichun looked at Qu Ling and felt a little emotional. He wondered whether she and Qin Ningan would be destined to be husband and wife when they grew up.
If she had it, that would be the best. If not, her identity would become a little embarrassing, especially after Qin Ning'an got married.
Fortunately, she is a girl. As long as she doesn't develop ambition and covet things she shouldn't, even if she doesn't marry Qin Ning'an when she grows up, the Qin family will not lose her a dowry. She can just live a peaceful life after getting married.
"Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin are both good people, and the Qin family is simple. You are a smart girl. If you stay in the Qin family well, your future will not be bad."
Qu Ling nodded. "I know, Sister Xu, thank you! I will remember the kindness of my godfather and godmother, and will never do anything to let them down."
"It's great that you think so! Take care of yourself. If you have anything to say, tell Madam Qin. She took the initiative to keep you here, and she treats you with sincerity."
"Um."
About half a month later, after everything was arranged, Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan said goodbye to the villagers, entrusted almost all the business here to Zeng Xiaoyan, Aunt Zhu'er and the managers, and left Liangjia Village in a carriage.
Chunfen also went with them. With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Xu was extremely reluctant to let her go. She even approached her daughter privately, hoping to ask Xu Zhichun to let her stay. But Chunfen was adamant. She didn't want to stay in the village.
Although her sister-in-law seemed to like her much more now, she knew in her heart that she was still not that welcoming.
The home she once belonged to was becoming increasingly alien to her. Every time she went back for a meal, she would subconsciously feel a little unnatural.
On the contrary, if she followed Sister Zhichun, Nanny Qin Qing would make delicious food for her, and Muxiang would always protect her because she knew she was not smart, and she would feel more at ease.
Although, she also couldn't bear to leave her mother.
But I can’t bear to leave Sister Zhichun and the others even more.
Moreover, she wanted to go out for a walk and have a look.
She rarely told her mother a very convincing truth. She said, "Mom, just think of me as being married."
Don't girls always have to get married? That's what my mother said herself.
Xu was speechless at the time and sighed. She had to use these words to comfort herself and let it go.
Yes, just treat it as if she is married.
It’s just that I married a little far away.
Zeng Xiaoyan, Aunt Zhu'er, Zeng Xiaojuan and others were particularly reluctant to leave, and their eyes were red when they said goodbye.
Looking back on the journey, there were more hardships than joys. Without Xu Zhichun, who knows what their lives would have been like, perhaps living in a muddle-headed state, day after day, wasting their time in trivial arguments.
Zeng Xiaojuan felt even more bitter. It was Xiaoyan who saved her from this misery, and Zhichun who saved her. Without Zhichun's help and advice, she would have lost her life long ago, and how could she have been there to accompany her daughter's peaceful growth?
Every household in the village is grateful. Liangjia Village can be what it is today, and every household can live a prosperous and hopeful life, and become the most praised and envied village in the surrounding area, all thanks to Mrs. Xu.
