Time flies, and Xiaoyu will go to Qingzhou at the end of the month.
Song Yuehua took out the iron bracelet that Zhao the blacksmith gave her and said, "You usually do embroidery work and don't wear anything on your hands. I'll give you this ring. You can wear it on your body on weekdays, no matter where you wear it."
Song Yuehua and Xiaoyu demonstrated the specific usage.
"Uh..." Xiaoyu didn't react for a moment, "Sister, I'm going to learn embroidery, I shouldn't need to strangle anyone..."
"Normally, it's not necessary, but just in case something unexpected happens, it's always good to be prepared."
Under Song Yuehua's persuasion, Xiaoyu finally accepted the bracelet.
Xiaoyu has been sticking to Xiaoyu almost every day these days, and the two of them talk until very late at night.
Xie Wenwu sighed when he saw Xiaoyu, and finally asked, "Xiaoyu, we have similar tastes. I'll make some long-lasting food for you to carry with you. Eat a piece when you are free, and you will remember your brother Wenwu."
Xiaoyu comforted the two and said, "Don't worry, I will write to you when I get to Qingzhou."
Xiaoyu had originally been looking forward to going to Qingzhou, but the atmosphere of parting disturbed her and she suddenly felt a little sad.
The day is getting closer. Xiaoyu feels sad and nervous when she thinks about not being able to see her elder sister, Dabao, Xiaoyu and Brother Wenwu anymore, this familiar place.
Song Yuehua comforted him, "Xiaoyu, people have to grow up, and parting is the first lesson of growing up. Sister will take you there, and you can leave after you get used to it, okay?"
A day outside costs a day's money, and the expenses in Qingzhou are definitely higher than in the county town.
Xiaoyu pretended to be strong and said, "No need. Sister spent a lot of money and effort to send me to Qingyun Embroidery Workshop. How can I be so disappointing?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with whether you are competitive or not. You are still a child, there is no need to be stubborn."
"Sister, I'm not trying to be strong."
"Um?"
"I'm really not trying to be brave."
"well!"
“…”
Two nights before departure, Zhu Yanli went to the Song family to find Song Yuehua.
"The day after tomorrow, I will go to Qingzhou with you." Zhu Yanli said.
Song Yuehua knew that she had already prepared to leave, so she didn't stay for long. She just asked, "Do you want to take Ruyue with you?"
"Of course I have to take it with me," Zhu Yanli said with a smile, "It's a bit noisy, but I will definitely be reluctant to let you go if we are separated."
"So what are your plans for the future?" Song Yuehua asked again
Zhu Yanli smiled sweetly and said, "I have a plan."
Since the other person was unwilling to talk, Song Yuehua did not ask any more questions. Finally, she just said, "Go and talk to Master Duan."
Speaking of Duan Yidao, Zhu Yanli didn't say anything, just lowered her head and hummed muffledly.
Duan Yidao was practicing boxing in the yard when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Zhu Yanli. His eyes lit up immediately and he stammered, "Yan...Miss, why are you here?"
"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and I came to say goodbye to you." Zhu Yanli said calmly.
Duan Yidao was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, he found his voice was dry. "Where are you going?"
"Looking for the child's father." Zhu Yanli said.
"Her father is not..." Duan Yidao hesitated to speak, feeling conflicted.
With his status, how could he keep the woman and become a slave together with her after getting married? Even if he had a conscience, he would not do this.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yanli turned around and was about to leave, but someone grabbed her sleeve tightly. Duan Yidao lowered his head and asked cautiously, "Isn't it good for you to stay?"
"Oh no!" Zhu Yanli tried to pull her sleeves back, but couldn't get them out.
Duan Yidao suddenly raised his head and begged, "I'll give you all my monthly salary, please don't leave..."
"What is my identity to take your money?" Zhu Yanli asked.
Duan Yidao was silent.
Zhu Yanli pulled hard and pulled her sleeve out, then laughed at herself.
Song Yuehua didn't know what the two were talking about.
On the morning of the day of departure, Duan Yidao led the ox cart without saying a word.
When the three of them had packed up and got in the car, Xie Wenwu brought in a big bag of food, including dried fruits, tea eggs, jerky, steamed buns, baked cakes, and desserts and pastries.
Song Yuehua took a look and thought that even if they fought back and forth again, it would be enough, let alone going to Qingzhou.
"Xiao Yu, please write to me when you get there!" Xie Wenwu's eyes were a little wet when he said these words.
Xiaoyu hung her silver safety lock on Xiaoyu's neck and said, "This is what my second uncle made for me. It's very useful and will definitely keep you safe."
Xiaoyu picked up the silver and realized it was so heavy. She was so scared that she wanted to take it down. Xiaoyu said with red eyes, "Don't take it. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. Write to me more often when you have nothing to do. Don't forget it."
"Don't worry, I'll write it down as soon as I get there. I won't forget it." Xiaoyu promised seriously.
The three of them talked endlessly before they parted.
Although no one came to talk to Song Yuehua, she still waited patiently.
Zhu Yanli yawned while holding Zhu Ruyue. Song Yuehua was afraid that the little kid would make a noise, so she could only ask Master Duan to leave quickly.
A few people got on the ox cart and walked a long way away, and they could still see Xie Wenwu and Xie Yu waving there.
"Sister, I feel a little uncomfortable..." Xiaoyu buried her face between Song Yuehua's legs.
Song Yuehua patted her on the back and comforted her, "This is what it feels like to say goodbye."
After arriving at the county town, Duan Yidao stored the ox cart and Song Yuehua rented a horse carriage. After learning that they were going to Qingzhou, most of the coachmen were not happy about it because the official road was not safe and they often encountered robbers.
It was only after Song Yuehua said that she went there with the son of the county magistrate that someone agreed.
