Chapter 378: The Past (37)
Early in the morning of the second day, the carriage that came to pick them up and return to Beijing arrived on time.
Fu Xiao looked at yesterday's astrological signs and speculated that today would be a good day with sunny weather and great travel opportunities.
Concubine Zhen got up very early, contrary to usual.
Even Xiaoxiao was scared by her.
"Mother.......s Mother"
"Shh
"Mother, why did you get up so early....if I knew we would have let the carriage come earlier........."
"I still have some place to go, you stabilize them first. ”
"But ........."
"Not so much!"
"You're not going to ....... mother!"
"Steady them, I'm gone........."
"!"
When Xiaoxiao rushed out to grab Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen had already closed the door.
She slammed straight into the door.
"........!"
Concubine Zhen looked behind at the door that had been closed, and sighed softly.
Finally, I escaped safely.
If she doesn't come out today, she will probably have a troubled conscience for the rest of her life.
There were some things she had to do.
There is no excuse not to do it.
It's still this familiar tree-lined path, but she walks extremely fast.
The wildflowers on both sides were already in full bloom, but she was in no mood to look at them.
She had seen all the scenery along the way, but she didn't feel like it before.
That relaxed mood is now completely out of tune.
So heavy, so gloomy.
"Brothers....... sisters-in-law....came to see you........"
By the time she reached the canal, it was already getting dark.
The surrounding fog has also cleared, and it was a good day with no wind or clear.
If she really just came to visit the craftsmen who were working, then she would be in a good mood.
The silence by the canal was terrible.
She was the only one standing, lonely and abrupt.
The ship, the people.
All, overnight, was gone.
Why are people really so vulnerable?
"Brothers, when you get there, don't save. Smoke what you should smoke, and drink what you should drink. Don't grieve yourself for the sake of your wife and children at home. You ....... you're enough......"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
It's not that she wants to do it, it's that she really can't control it.
If she returned to the capital like this today and didn't come here to see them, then she would really be sad for the rest of her life.
"In this life, you are too tired to live. In the next life, I hope you can all do well...... ...... Good ......."
has suffered for a lifetime, but now he has gone in vain in this world.
How could she feel their pain?
"If you think about it, you could have told me last night why you ran early in the morning........
A familiar voice, with the sound of her familiar footsteps, approached her.
She didn't even have to look back to guess who was behind her.
"Because, knowing that I told you, you have a whole lot of reasons not to let me come, things you won't allow, why should I tell the truth? ”
"You're just too stubborn........"
The person behind him suddenly let out a sigh.
It was very light, but the pearl still heard it.
"Let's go, isn't it too late?"
"Wait. ”
She only felt her arm firmly grasped by the other hand.
"What are you doing.........
She was about to backhand the hand that was sticking to her, but she was startled by the smell of flowers.
"Give them this flower. ”
In Taifu's hand is a bouquet of wild flowers.
It was the one she hadn't cared about on the road just now.
"You ........."
Pearl didn't know what to say for a while.
She looked at Taifu incoherently, and he just smiled.
"Seeing them off for the last time, of course, I'm also involved. ”
For Pearl, his voice is rare tenderness.
"Thank you......."
She took the bouquet of flowers that were not so pretty, and could only think of two words of thanks.
"Go...... Give it to them........"
"Good ........."
By the canal, the water is calm.
Pearl crouched to the side, almost able to see her reflection on it.
A crumpled face crying.
A face that doesn't even smile.
She struggled to pull out a natural smile, just as she did when the craftsmen were still around.
"Brothers, this flower, give it to you....... I and your eldest brother are leaving....... you will have a good journey........
No one answered her.
What answered her was just the sound of the wind, just the sound of the waves, just, the crisp sound of birdsong.
The carriage traveled slowly along the official road.
The groom is the one of the Taifu family.
This is the special grace of the Holy Lord, so that his servants will come and pick him up.
It has been a long time since the groom has carried his master, and the fear in his heart has suddenly reached its peak.
"Big ...... My lord...... It's hot, do you want to open the window?"
"I'll handle it myself. ”
"That...... Do you want to eat?"
"Just used it...... You've talked a lot today. ”
"It's not that ..... young haven't seen adults for a long time, and some ..... miss some ......."
In his heart, the groom crossed out the word missing.
In the days when Taifu is away, don't mention more moisturizing in his small days.
You don't have to be scared every day, you can do what you want to do.
The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about what kind of mood the Taifu is like today.
Now that Mrs. Taifu is still in confinement, naturally she doesn't need his carriage, and he is also idle and panicked, going outside to pick up some private work to earn some extra money.
He thought that such a happy little life could last for a long time.
But I never thought that on this kind of day, there would not be a few days at all.
It was only more than half a month before he received the news that Taifu was going back to Beijing.
said that there was an accident, and the craftsmen died, so they could only return to Beijing in advance to report the situation.
What a bitterness in his heart!
It's going to court again.
They are going to court again.
This means that the days of leisure and happiness in the past are over!
What's even more terrifying is that the emperor said that he was an extra favor to let him drive a carriage to pick them up.
God knows, one day and one night.
He and two other grooms rushed from the capital to the border where birds don't, and it took a lot of effort.
He hasn't closed his eyes yet!
It's just this, he naturally can't tell his own adults.
He's just right, the adults of his family won't be in a good mood because they hear this.
I don't want to be nice to him because of this.
"You're going to miss me? Come on, you wish you couldn't see me. ”
"What's the matter, sir, you think too badly of the small!"
"Isn't it?"
"Nature..... nature is not ......."
If you tell a lie, will you be struck by lightning?
The groom's back was dripping with sweat.
The adults of his family have not seen each other for so long, and they are still the same smart, and they are still the same difficult to fool.
The environment here did not make him a little less shrewd.
"Come on. I'm not here to discuss this with you today, Madame and Miss, are you alright?"
"That's good. Madame is also about to go out of confinement. The old lady often came to visit her wife, and she had planned to write to you a few days ago, but she never sent it, and she did not expect you to return. ”
"It's good...... Looks like I'm here, and they're still going to be fine......."
"My lord, Madame misses you. Someone will be sent to clean your study every day........"
