Chapter 13: Departure
After returning to Zhao's house, Zhao Yulan took Fu Yi, Ying Qi and Xiaobao and prepared to leave.
It's been two days since I left home, and I don't know how big a pile of things I have to do at home. After all, in addition to being able to do farm work, other family affairs are rarely taken care of. Since ancient times, gentlemen have been cooking, although the people don't pay much attention to these, but they have always been male and female.
Grandmother Zhou Zhishu naturally understood this, and did not keep them, but just told Zhao Yulan to hurry up and hand over a message to herself if something happened, and the family would pass soon.
When he left, Jean brought sixteen eggs back, saying that he would replenish Fu Yi and Ying Qi's body. Zhao Yulan did not refuse. Only Fang Guihua muttered a few words, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Mother, I really miss my father. Fu Yi said to Zhao Yulan as he walked.
"Mother thought you were all crazy and didn't want to go home. Zhao Yulan said with a smile.
"Mother, I miss my father too. And the house is much more comfortable, and my grandmother's house is too crowded, and I can't sleep well. Ying Qi pouted.
Xiaobao also nodded thoughtfully, Ying Qi glanced at him, and when he saw that someone agreed with him, he still smiled. "Still, I'm glad that my cousin has sent so many strawberries. When leaving, cousins Zhao Xingmei and Zhao Jiangmei picked all the strawberries that were not ripe and gave them to Yingqi. I also asked her to come back to the house next time to play.
Xiaobao was a little helpless, because he was carrying the basket of strawberries in his hand. But look at Fu Yi, it's balanced again, and Fu Yi is also carrying a basket, which is a basket of strawberry rhizomes.
"Daddy, Daddy, we're back. Fu Yi shouted and entered the door, Ying Qi patted his forehead a little, why doesn't he have a little self-cultivation as his brother, look, how quiet and elegant people are Xiaobao. Nonsense, that's Xiaobao can't speak Okay, Fu Yi knows that he has to refute her like this.
But then, Ying Qi also entered the door. At this time, no one paid attention, Xiaobao dodged slightly and fell behind Zhao Yulan. After Zhao Yulan entered the door, Xiaobao touched the lintel sideways. Sure enough, it was a symbol engraved with a small flying sword. The guards finally found him.
Sighing slightly, he looked up at this home, and then caught up with Zhao Yulan with a calm expression, still slightly two steps behind, Zhao Yulan didn't notice it at all.
As soon as Ying Qi entered the house, she saw Zhou Chungui making wontons on the table in the courtyard. Since the conditions at home are getting better day by day, food and use have begun to enter the lives of ordinary people. Knowing that they were coming back, Zhou Chungui specially made flour to wrap the wontons.
"Dad, you're so good. I'm going to pack it too. Fu Yi was happy when he saw the white ground noodles, for so many years, except for one or two times when he was a child, he almost forgot what wontons tasted like.
"Wash your hands. Let your mother do it. Zhou Chungui was also very happy to see them arrive home safely.
"It's all going well, right?" took the egg that Zhao Yulan was carrying. "Smooth, smooth. The future little brother-in-law looks very down-to-earth and capable. Zhao Yulan nodded.
While talking, he washed his hands and began to naturally take Zhou Chungui's flour and wrap the wontons.
Ying Qi also urged her brother and Xiaobao to wash their hands and came to help. In the name of helping, it is actually playing with flour.
In the end, everyone joked and talked while wrapping wontons, and when they were all done, only Zhao Yulan wrapped the normal ones, and the other three were crooked melons and cracked dates, which were strange.
Everyone laughed and went to cook wontons and eat them.
At night, the sound of frogs sounded in the field, and Xiaobao carefully turned over. At this time, Fu Yi had already fallen asleep and was unconscious.
"When did you arrive?" Outside the courtyard wall, a man in black knelt in front of Xiaobao in front of him.
"The master forgives the sins! The humble job is too late to save the driver, and there is no way to die!"
"I just found this place in the early hours of this morning. This is Zhang San. "On the left hand side of the guard lay a middle-aged man, with a wisp of black blood on his mouth, which seemed to have been processed. It was the man who threw Xiaobao into the deep pool in the first place.
"Who is it?" Xiaobao frowned.
"Mama Cheng. "Concubine Liang's people!" Xiaobao couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't seem particularly surprised. In the court, anyone can be an enemy.
"Go back to the twenty of the staff. "Thank you, Master!" This is a capital crime, and it is inevitable to live a crime. However, after receiving the sin at this time, he will not be punished again when he returns to the palace. lost the prince, but the emperor was furious, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem had already killed a large piece of the cane, and cleaned up a large piece of it. However, these guards still belong to the body of those who will make up for their mistakes.
Xiaobao stopped talking and entered the courtyard. didn't go directly to Fu Yi's room, but came to Ying Qi's room.
The family tradition of this family seems to be that they sleep very well, and Xiaobao estimates that even if there is a big thunder in the sky at this time, this family will not wake up.
Ying Qi hugged the quilt, curled up like a crayfish, half of her body was exposed outside the quilt because of the rolling. Xiaobao frowned slightly, sat in front of the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
Fingers ran through her hair, down her cheeks, and down Sakura's lips. I remembered the soft touch when I was unconscious, and it was this girl who saved her life regardless of her reputation. Although he was basically unconscious at the time, after all, he had been trained with iron and blood, so his senses were very obvious.
After thinking for a while, he took off the jade pendant around his neck, it was this jade pendant that prompted Ying Qi to save himself, and later Ying Qi did not take it for himself, but returned it.
hung the jade pendant on Ying Qi's neck and wrapped her in the quilt again. This jade pendant is an heirloom of his mother, not given by his father, and it is not easy to go wrong when left to Yingqi. It is also said to have been engraved with a treasure map. However, in addition to the legend, no one has seen the shadow of the treasure map in this jade pendant. It's just a piece of crystal clear jade pendant. Later, when she was born, her mother also asked the master carver to engrave her birthday on the back of the jade pendant. After all, my grandfather's family has produced such a unique royal bloodline since ancient times.
This is really important, indescribable, much more important than a treasure map. Because this means that the prince Xiaobao Xiaopenyou has given his life to Ying Qi so carelessly, and the little heroine not only doesn't know it, but she may not be grateful in the future. After all, in Yingqi's worldview, men and women naturally still have to fall in love freely, and I am in charge of my marriage. However, for Yingqi's worldview, Xiaobao can't feel it at all.
Even if he was reluctant, after all, he still had a lot to do, Xiaobao bowed his head gently, kissed Yingqi's forehead, and turned around and left without hesitation.
"Leave them a letter of silver. In addition, arrange for Xueyun to be stationed at her house. ”
"Yes!"
After one last glance at the Zhou family, Xiaobao turned around and left without hesitation.
A mile later, the sound of a group of horses' hooves sounded, and the end of the world was separated from then on.
"Mother, it's terrible. Ying Qi's exclamation completely resounded throughout the Zhou family. Everyone felt that the old tiled houses were a little crumbling.
Fu Yi was the first to rush into Ying Qi's room, followed by Zhou Chungui and Zhao Yulan. Naturally, my father and mother who got up early did some small farm work in Yuanba. Only two children were sleeping.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhao Yulan asked in a panic, worried that something had happened to Yingqi.
"Father, mother, brother, look. Ying Qi was sitting up, still wrapped in the quilt she was sleeping on. His finger pointed to the only child in her room who was leaning against her bed.
The three of them looked at the past with six pairs of eyes, and at this moment, they were all shocked.
A neatly stacked white flower and a shiny silver ingot.
"Oh my God, where did this come from? Is it real?" Zhao Yulan exclaimed. Zhou Chungui also hurriedly looked east and west, and even looked at the roof, the roof was not broken, how could pies fall from the sky, no, the silver fell down.
"Dad, don't look at it. Yingqi Nunu mouthed and came back to her senses. "Even if it really fell from the sky, it couldn't have fallen so neatly. ”
Zhou Chungui smiled a little abruptly. "And how did this come about?"
"Who knows. Hey, brother, why didn't Xiaobao come over?"
"Xiaobao?" Fu Yi scratched his head, as if he hadn't paid attention today. But the whole family is here, and according to the usual theory, Xiaobao should be here too.
"I'll take a look. Fu Yi was about to go out, "Don't go, brother, I know, this is left by Xiaobao." Ying Qi reacted quickly.
"Sister Qi, you mean ......" Zhao Yulan also came back to her senses.
"Yes, Dad, Mother. It must be Xiaobao's family who came to find him. I didn't want to alarm us, so I left this one and took Xiaobao away. Ying Qi nodded, agreeing with Zhao Yulan's guess.
"Well, it must be so. Zhao Yulan also nodded.
"Since he didn't alarm us, it means that he doesn't want us to know Xiaobao's true identity and left the silver, which means that he doesn't want us to go to him again. We should have never seen him before, and with this large pile of silver, we can do so much. The more Ying Qi thought about it, the happier she became.
"Dad, why did Xiaobao leave without saying hello like this. Fu Yi suddenly lost a friend, and he lost it so suddenly, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Sister Qi is right. People may also have a hard time. Yi Wazi, don't think too much. After all, Xiaobao is the son of a rich family at first glance, and he is different from us. His father naturally understood this kind of boy's thinking, and suddenly lost the partner he grew up with, so he comforted him.
"Mother, you hurry up and take it. Now we can live a good life for a while. Ying Qi smiled happily. Let Zhao Yulan put it away. You can't just put the money on a small table all the time.
"Sister Qi, Xiaobao put it next to your bed, indicating that it must be to repay you for saving your life, and this is for you. Zhao Yulan thought for a moment.
"Mother, you are my mother. Mine is not yours, yours is the whole family. Ying Qi was a little speechless, why was her mother confused.
"This ......" Zhou Chungui found out what Zhao Yulan wanted to say, and hurriedly touched her. Then he said, "Sister Qi, I guess your mother means that this can be left to you as a dowry in the future." But you're right, all my father's and mother's things will belong to my sister Qi in the future. Your mother will put it away. ”
"Dad, it's all mine. And my brother. You are so partial to me, be careful that my brother is jealous. Ying Qi smiled.
"Your brother, a manly husband, wants to earn his own money, how can he use his sister's dowry. Zhou Chungui took the opportunity to educate Fuyi children's shoes.
"Dad, when I grow up, I not only earn my own money, but also earn more dowry for my sister, which is much more than this. "If you lose money, you can't lose the battle, you can't be worse than Xiaobao. In front of my sister, this is related to the face of a man. Fu Yi is very generous.
"Alright, alright, put it away first. Let's get my sister up too. Zhao Yulan thought about it, so she asked Zhou Chungui and Fu Yi to pick up the silver and move it to the cage in their room to put it aside. Let Yingqi also start to get up and wash.
Ying Qi began to get dressed, and suddenly found that her neck was slightly cold, and she lowered her head to touch it, it turned out that Xiaobao's gift of gratitude to herself was here. Touching the crystal clear jade pendant, Ying Qi suddenly seemed to feel a little cold in her heart.
The silent boy, the boy he named Xiaobao, will never be seen again? Ying Qi couldn't find an answer.
Forget it, it's still the most real silver. Ying Qi shook her head, no longer thinking about these sad questions. After getting dressed, I quickly went to my father and mother to discuss that the family now has money and can do a lot of things.
