Zheng Sui still decided to go to Linchuan County first, and then go to Jiankang.

It's just that the date of departure, discussed with Wen Weng, much earlier, the original plan was to wait for the weather to turn cool in mid-August, and then changed to early August.

At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Twenty-one Lang and Mr. and Mrs. Jinlang had rushed to Jingzhou.

But until the day they set off, Yuan Xun had not returned from Yangzhou.

Take a boat from Jingzhou to Jiangzhou, go down the river along the river, and arrive in Jiangzhou in just a few days.

Zheng Qilangjun did not go to Linchuan County and returned to Jiankang City.

After arriving in Jiangzhou, Linru County, Linchuan County could also be reached by waterway, but from Jingzhou to Jiangzhou, Zheng Sui was not used to taking the boat, and for seven or eight days on the boat, he was seasick and couldn't eat, and everyone lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks became more and more sharp and thin, and in the words of the morning breeze, his chin was like an awl.

Because of this, from Jiangzhou to Linru County, Zheng Sui changed to a carriage and took the dry road.

The Zheng family's subordinates had already arrived in Linru County, and Shiro and Twenty Lang Jun Wen Weng still took the waterway and went straight to Linru County along Rushui.

——*——*——

"Don't, brother, brother......" Suddenly, Zheng Sui suddenly sat up, woke up from his dream, his eyes were wide open, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness of the night.

For several days, I dreamed of the fifth brother every day, and woke up from the dream every day, but I couldn't remember what happened every time.

Footsteps came from outside, followed by the sound of picking. "The little lady is dreaming again. ”

Cai Fu had already walked in with a glazed pottery lamp, turned the screen, and reached out to scoop up the curtain. It illuminated the dark room and shone into the tent.

Zheng Sui looked sideways at Cai Fu, "Why did you come in again, didn't I say it, I'll just sit down." So saying, he wanted to lie down.

Cai Fu hurriedly handed the lamp to Zhong Nan on the side, and stepped forward to help Zheng Sui lie down. took the quilt for Zheng Sui, and touched Zheng Sui's forehead, which was covered with a layer of fine sweat. "The little lady is always like this, it's not a thing, let's let the Xia doctor come over and take a look. ”

Doctor Xia is an old doctor with a long beard who accompanies him.

Zheng Sui stared at the top of Qingluo's tent, "This is not a disease. I asked the doctor to come over in vain. Again, you must be alarmed, go down first, and leave me a lamp. I remember that Aunt Twenty-One and Sister-in-law Jin knew that she always woke up from a dream at night, so they said that they would sleep with her at night, so she had to excuse herself, saying that she would let Caifu keep vigil in the house. The two men gave up.

"Little lady," Cai Fu shouted. He tried to persuade again: "Otherwise, the maid will light a soothing incense stick in the lady's house." Cai Fu lowered her head and carefully noticed the changes in Shi Niang, since the death of the companion concubine, there has never been incense burning in Shi Niang's house.

"I'm fine. This time, Zheng Sui's expression did not change much, but his tone was a little light, even ethereal.

"The maid stayed here with the little lady. ”

Cai Fu said this, Zheng Sui did not reply again, Cai Fu saw this, so he glanced at Zhong Nan, asked her to put the lamp on the high table, and retreated.

Zheng Sui didn't care.

I only heard Cai Fu ask: "The little lady dreamed of Gorou again?"

Zheng Sui hummed lightly, staring at the top of the bucket tent, thinking about Fang Cai's dream in his head, but because of such a distraction, he clearly remembered the dream clearly, and forgot most of it, only the figure of the fifth brother turned around and left.

Again, his eyes were wide open, but he couldn't remember anything.

I sighed in vain.

was stunned for a long time, no matter what Cai Fu said, Zheng Sui didn't speak again, so after about half an hour, Zheng Sui was very tired and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up the next morning, the morning glow on the horizon was gorgeous and dazzling.

Maybe there is rain at noon today, counting the days, Shiro and his party have probably arrived in Linru County, and their group, because there is no baggage, this area is relatively peaceful, and the journey is much slower.

Only a dozen miles a day.

Zheng Sui's three sisters, their twenty-one aunts, and their sister-in-law had eaten breakfast together, when they heard a message from a servant woman coming to say that it might rain today, and that they would stay in the city for a day.

Zheng Sui returned to the house and couldn't help asking, "Where is this now?"

"At the banquet just now, Zhuge Lady can say that this is Chaisang in Jiangzhou, and I heard that it was an ancient battlefield in the past. "Zhuge Niangzi, it is Jinlang's wife Zhuge Shi, Cai Fu and Xin Yi, who came back with Zheng Sui, were stunned again, recently, Zheng Sui has been wandering too much in a lot of times, this phenomenon is not the first time, but even so, when Chaisang City last night, Shi Niang should also know.

Facing the handmaiden's incredulous expression, Zheng Sui shook his head, "When I entered the city last night, I didn't pay attention. ”

She really didn't notice.

Because he slept less at night, and changed the seat day by day, he slept extremely unsteadily, so that he had no energy during the day, and every time he got on the carriage and traveled, he leaned on the grogginess, so that black and white were reversed, and his spirit was a little worse, and occasionally he was in a trance.

According to the records of Jiangzhou, since the two Han Dynasty, here has been the battlefield, two years ago, Wen Jun in Xiangzhou rebellion, and finally into Jiangzhou, after the defeat and suicide, when Yangzhou assassin Shi Anton General Yuan Gang, is Chen Bing Jiangzhou, here to resist Wen Jun's rebellion, Chaisang was baptized by the rebellion, greatly affected, it is said that on the eve of the military disaster, Chaisang is the south of the boat and car, prosperous and rich heavy town.

It's just that to this day, it still hasn't regained its vitality.

Not to mention that when passing through the suburbs, the fields are barren and sparsely populated, even in this purple mulberry city, there are not many merchants and pedestrians, even if it is the day of the market, there are not many people in the market, and many shops are still closed, which is a little deserted.

Zhuge Niangzi also said, there is a Gantang Lake near here, there is a moon island on the lake, the mountains are clear and clear, rich in good scenery, every rainy season, the mountains are empty, the smoke and water are miao, the fog locks the smoke cage, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and I want to go out of the city to see at noon today. Presumably, when Zhuge Niangzi said this, Zheng Sui didn't listen to it much. The morning breeze that came in was repeated again.

Zheng Sui thought about it, and the volume of Jiangzhou Chronicles in his hand. In the Chaisang Domain Chronicles, it seemed to mention such a lake, but he didn't answer, but leaned on the table behind the mat and picked up the book again.

Seeing this, Chenfeng couldn't help but look sideways at Cai Fu and Xin Yi, and their faces were full of helplessness. Xin Yi raised a hidden sac on the table for Zheng Sui, and held Zhong Nan, who was standing next to Chenfeng, and stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of Chenfeng's shirt. motioned for her to continue, and even Cai Fu, who was standing next to Zheng Sui, bowed her head.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Chenfeng couldn't help but step forward and gain enough courage. Asked again. "Do you want to go to Gantang Lake?"

"Who else is going?" After a while, Zheng Sui looked up from the book.

Seeing that there seemed to be a play, Chenfeng immediately said: "Jiuniang and Eleven Niang are going, as well as Erlang Zhuge Niangzi, and Lu Niangzi also have the intention to go." ”

Erlang refers to Jinlang, Xing Er, Lu Niangzi, that is, twenty-one aunts. Jinlang and the fifth brother are the same Geng, and Zhuge is still the bride. Only three years older than Zheng Sui.

"If you want to go, you can also go with them, and Liu Yuan can accompany me. ”

"Little lady isn't going?" asked Chenfeng hurriedly.

"I'm not going. Zheng Sui lowered his head again, if there is no state of mind, no matter how good the landscape is, it will be in vain.

The maidservants in the room glanced at each other, and Cai Fu spoke, "Let them go with Jiuniang, and the maidservants and Xin Yi stay with the little lady." ”

Zheng Sui nodded and muttered, "Take Du Heng out for a walk, and find two more people to take care of her." "Du Heng has been delirious since three years ago, after his head injury became dementia, Dr. Xia said that don't stay in the house, go out for a walk more, and talk to her more on weekdays, which will help her condition.

Originally, when she came south this time, her sister-in-law Li didn't allow her to take Du Heng with her, but she couldn't resist her.

I only listened to Cai Fu said: "How can I still need the little lady's orders, just listen to Liu Yuan, Du Heng went to the market, the little lady instructed, the people who served Du Heng must not detain her, and now those four people, how dare they stop her, she has always loved to be lively." ”

Since his dementia, many of Du Heng's temperaments have not changed, he likes to be lively and laugh.

When Lu Niangzi and Jinlang were about to go out to Gantang Lake outside the city, Du Heng had not yet returned from the market, so it was not good to let them wait.

It wasn't until noon that a light rain began to fall in the sky.

One autumn rain, one cool.

Although autumn has just begun, the wind blowing in from the window still carries a bit of coolness.

Cai Fu added a jacket to Zheng Sui, and couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know if Mrs. Lu brought an extra piece of clothing." ”

"You are still worried about this, when you go out usually, who is not in the carriage with a few sets of clothes, it is really not good, you can wear more coats. Xin Yi walked in, only to see that Xin Yi was still followed by Du Heng.

Zheng Sui beckoned to Du Heng, only to see Du Heng shouting the little lady, jumping up to her quickly, the silly smile on his face became stronger, although Du Heng was stupid, but a few common people around him knew it, as for the title of Zheng Sui, it was for Liu Yuan to teach for a long time.

As soon as he came closer, Du Heng spread his hand excitedly and handed it to Zheng Sui, "Little lady, look." As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Sui with a smirk between his eyebrows, took away the book in Zheng Sui's hand, and handed the things in his palm to Zheng Sui's hand, "It's the little lady, give it to the little lady." ”

At the first glance at the jade pendant in Du Heng's hand, Zheng Sui and Cai Fu Xin Yi were surprised, only to hear Xin Yi point at Du Heng in surprise, feeling incredible, "She still remembers this." ”

came back to her senses, but Cai Fu understood, "It's about the people around her who have told her." She paid more attention to the jade pendant, if she didn't look at the dazzling eyes, the jade pendant was green jade, thinking of this, Cai Fu looked down at Zheng Sui, only to see that Zheng Sui had spread out his hand, looking at the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, his expression was also very surprised.

At this moment, Zheng Sui was indeed surprised, looking at the particularly familiar green and white round jade pendant in the palm of his hand, he almost forgot that Du Heng's brain was demented, and asked directly: "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"To the little lady, to the little lady......"

Looking at the stupid smile on Du Heng's face, except for these words, there was no other words, and after coming to his senses, Zheng Sui felt funny again.

Xin Yi on the side hurriedly said: "The maid went to call a few people who went out with Du Heng in and asked." (To be continued......)
