Chapter 13 Quanzhou
Early in the morning, in a simple tea shed in Shilipu outside Quanzhou, a young man in brocade clothes was sitting upright; Outside the tea shed, several young men in Tsing Yi were constantly looking at something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The owner of the tea shed, Old Man Zhang, looked at the tea that was about to boil on the stove, reached out and touched the reward he had just received in his arms, and couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile. Since ten days ago, there has been a man who looks like a housekeeper with a few small servants, and he came to charter his tea shed every morning, as if he was waiting for someone. Today, there is a boy in brocade clothes, just look at the style, you know that it is the son of a big family---- the son of an ordinary family, where can you give a reward of ten taels of silver at will.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet? It can't be that something happened on the way, right? Seeing that the sun was getting higher again, the sitting brocade boy was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, the eldest prince just received the news from Yang Lie yesterday, Sixth Miss, they are already a hundred miles away, and they will definitely be able to arrive this morning." A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper standing next to him said.
"That being said, I'm still a little worried. The summer weather in Quanzhou is hot, not cooler than Jiangnan, and the sun is high today, if it is noon, the little sister who has lived in Jiangnan for a long time is afraid that she will not be able to stand it. The young man in brocade thought of his little cousin, who had been weak since he was a child, and he was even more anxious.
"Coming, coming," a sharp-eyed guy saw someone galloping in the distance.
The boy in brocade heard the call of the little guy outside the shed, and also got up and walked out.
After a while, a brown horse stopped in front of the tea shed, and a man in a black suit turned over and dismounted, and saluted the boy in brocade.
"It's Ding Guard," the housekeeper beside the boy in brocade recognized the person, it was Ding Erniu, a powerful subordinate who had followed Yang Lie in the past. "Eldest Prince, this person is Yang Lie's subordinate, and he should be the escort who followed Miss Six this time. Believable. The housekeeper bowed down and introduced himself to his eldest son.
"Miss Six has arrived?" Seeing that the person who came was Xiaomei's guard, the boy in brocade also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Back to the eldest prince, the sixth lady is already ten miles away, and Chief Yang specially asked the villain to take the first step and come to report the news."
"Okay, okay, you've worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first." The boy in brocade laughed twice, and casually ordered the housekeeper beside him. "Steward Wang, look at the reward."
Here, Steward Wang asked Ding Erniu to go to the tea shed to rest, but the boy in brocade did not leave, and kept standing outside the tea shed and waiting.
It's been three years since I've seen my little sister, and I don't know what that weak little girl has grown like now. Thinking that when he was young, when his brothers were punished by his grandmother and father to kneel in the ancestral hall, I don't know how many times this little sister secretly brought food to her brothers.
I still remember when I was fifteen years old, I accidentally broke my father's favorite white jade paperweight in the study, the white jade paperweight is said to be the ancestral heirloom of the Wang family, and it has a history of thousands of years. The young self was so scared at the time, but the little sister stood up after knowing it, ran to her grandmother, and said that she ran to the study and accidentally broke the paperweight, so that she escaped. Grandmother, Mrs. Xie, has always loved her little sister the most, and when she heard the news, she just smiled, saying that it was broken and safe, and if she broke the paperweight, she should have kept her little sister's safety.
At that time, the little sister was only five years old, and she was already so kind and lovely. Since she was a child, Xiaomei didn't know how many black pots she had carried for her brothers. However, thinking of the letter he received from Jiangzhou a month ago, the boy in brocade couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Okay, you're a Cui family, you're a Cui Sanlang, are you really bullying my Wang family? If it weren't for the little sister and the time, the brothers in their own family couldn't go back to Jiangzhou, where could Cui Saburo be presumptuous. Thinking of the little sister who has been loved since childhood, but now she has the reputation of retiring from her relatives, the boy in brocade can't wait to go north immediately and beat Cui Saburo hard.
After another stick of incense, a large group of people appeared on the other side of the road.
Several carriages gradually appeared in front of the young man in brocade, and he saw dozens of guards in black suits riding on horses, faintly guarding the carriage in the middle. The boy in brocade knew that the little sister he hadn't seen for three years was sitting in the car at this time.
"Stop!" The guards in front stopped the convoy, and Wang Jiqing knew that someone was afraid that someone would come to pick him up.
"Sixth Miss, it's the eldest prince who is here to pick you up." Yang Lie saw the figure of the brocade-clothed boy in front of him, stopped outside the young lady's car, and said in a low voice.
Is the big brother here in person? Wang Jiqing was thinking about the appearance of the eldest brother in the girl's memory, and the car door was opened. On a young face, a pair of slightly nervous eyes looked at him. It is his eldest brother, Wang Zelei, the eldest son of the Wang family's long house.
"Say hello to the eldest prince." The shallow pity of the same car, Qianyu and others hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
"Little sister, are you here, are you okay on the road?" The boy in brocade, that is, Wang Xiqing's eldest brother Wang Zelei, only waved his hand, and quickly looked at his little sister.
"Big brother, I'm fine." Wang Ji chuckled, it feels good to have a family caring.
Wang Zelei saw that his little sister's face was ruddy and there was no sadness, so he looked at his sister carefully. Well, the girl in the car is dressed in white, although her appearance is not very outstanding, but her temperament is cold and easy-going, and the whole person looks very gentle and moving. The girl in front of her gradually coincided with the handsome little girl in her memory. Wang Zelei blinked his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
Wang Zelei, who was relieved alone, didn't know that his sister was also looking at him.
Wang Ji looked at the young man in front of him, and the memories of the eldest brother in his mind also came flooding back. The eldest brother, who is ten years older than himself, has loved himself since he was a child. When I was a child, I was not in good health, and my grandmother did not allow me to eat anything too greasy. I remember one year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the young self looked at the pig's trotters at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and swallowed saliva, or the eldest brother found out, while everyone was keeping vigil, quietly sneaked into his room and secretly stuffed himself with a pig's trotter.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiqing couldn't help but smile.
"Little sister, it's not early, you don't have to get out of the car, let's go straight to the city." Wang Zelei saw that his little sister was fine, so he turned over and got on the horse, "If you have anything to say at home, your sister-in-law and nephew are still waiting for you at home." With that, he rode away first. Yang Lie and the others were still guarding the carriage on horseback.
The convoy restarted and moved slowly. The king looked lightly at the city gate that was gradually becoming clear in the distance, and seemed to hear the sound of the sea.
Quanzhou, I'm coming!
