Chapter Ninety-Eight: I'm Going to Beijing
Chapter Ninety-Eight is about to enter Beijing
Cheng Ke nodded hesitantly, thought about it, and frowned again,
"Don't talk about this Shangli Town, it's these two Zhejiang roads, where can I find someone who can enlighten her?"
Zhou Jingran opened his mouth, thought for a long time, spread his hands and said:
"It's up to you to think of it, but it's definitely too late for this trip, and the day after tomorrow, we'll have to leave for it anyway."
Cheng Ke twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time, and said slowly:
"Let's leave for home tomorrow, this matter still has to be moved to the capital to deal with it."
Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke, then understood, and laughed softly,
"That's fine, a while ago, the letter from the ministry came with it."
"Hmm."
Cheng Ke nodded his head and showed a smile, Zhou Jingran snorted,
"That girl, she's just too young, waiting for her to grow up, it's really a rush to death."
Cheng Ke glanced at him, slowly shook the rocking chair and didn't speak again.
The next day, the two quit Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou and set off to return to the capital.
Xiyunban also went back, the stage was demolished in the front yard, and it finally stopped, Gu Yunhuan breathed a long sigh of relief, but it turned out that this cousin was also annoying, and it was really the first time he found out
Gu Yunhuan and Mrs. Zhou begged the messenger to clean up the Suo Luo Pavilion, called Li Xiaonuan, and went to the Su Luo Pavilion together to watch the girls and women pack their things.
As soon as the two entered the main courtyard of the Suo Luo Pavilion, they smelled a strong fragrance, Li Xiaonuan looked back at Lan Chu, raised his eyebrows, and showed a gloating smile on his face, Lan Chu was stunned, Li Xiaonuan glanced at Gu Yunhuan, who was walking straight forward, two steps behind, approached Lan Chu, and said in a low voice:
"The mud in the lake stinks"
Lan Chu suddenly understood, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and desperately tried not to let himself laugh.
Li Xiaonuan smiled, took two steps casually, followed Gu Yunhuan, and walked along the verandah to the main courtyard.
Gu Yunhuan frowned, smelled the fragrance that was getting stronger and stronger, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said strangely:
"Why is there so much perfume sprinkled in this yard? I don't think I've ever done this before. ”
Li Xiaonuan frowned slightly, sniffed it, and nodded solemnly,
"This fragrance is really good, and the things in the capital are good."
Gu Yunhuan seemed to remember something, and was stunned to come up with a god, Li Xiaonuan looked at her attentively, and when she saw that she had come up with a god, he stepped forward and gently pushed her, and said with a smile:
"This yard is fragrant like this, and the young master must not be as fragrant as a flower."
Gu Yunhuan showed a disgusting expression on his face, Li Xiaonuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile deepened, he sniffed again, and said with emotion:
"This fragrance is really good, fragrant and sweet, the second sister smells it carefully, this must be the best fragrance in the capital, maybe it comes out of the palace, it's really fragrant."
Gu Yunhuan covered his nose with a handkerchief, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan and said:
"I don't know what's wrong with your nose today, it's such a bad smell, and you still say okay? I can't stand the smell, I'll wait outside."
As he spoke, Gu Yunhuan shook the handkerchief, turned around and walked straight out, Li Xiaonuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he also followed Gu Yunhuan and went out to the courtyard.
The two of them sat idly in the gatehouse of the gate of the Suluo Courtyard, talking with each other, watching the girl pack up her things, order them and put them away, carefully carry them into the warehouse one by one, put them on the account, and then turn them back and go back to rest.
In the evening, Li Xiaonuan bathed and washed, relaxed on the couch in the east wing, eating candied fruit, leisurely looking at the book, Lan Chu arranged the night work, opened the curtain and came in, took the needlework, sat on the edge of the couch, and started the needlework.
Li Xiaonuan put down the book in his hand, looked at Lan Chu, sighed heavily, and sighed again, Lan Chu put down the needle and thread in his hand and laughed,
"What's the matter, girl?"
"Lan Chu, you're seventeen this year, right? I'm going to get married."
Lan Chu pursed his lips and laughed, looked at Li Xiaonuan generously and said:
"The girl doesn't have to worry about **, my mother has betrothed me since I was a child, and my family is a neighbor, and now I am also on an errand in the house, and my father is learning to plant flowers and plants, people are capable and willing to endure hardships, and they are also responsible."
Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in surprise, straightened up, clapped her hands lightly and said:
"Lan Chu, I really like your cleverness and generosity"
Lan Chu pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes, Li Xiaonuan looked at her and asked:
"Has the date of marriage been set?"
"Well, I told him, two years later, let me wait for the girl for two more years, the cicada wings are still young, the needlework, the rules are still poor, and the hands and feet are not neat enough, I want to take them for two more years."
"You'll be nineteen two years late, a little late, next year, get married next year, Cicada Wings and a few of them are not small, they are all twelve or thirteen people, and they can also bear it."
"Twelve or thirteen can be treated, that's a girl, like a girl, but there are few girls don't worry about me, I have discussed it with my family, and I will get married in two years, but it is only nineteen, in the house, it is not early, but it is not late, let me wait for the girl for two more years."
Li Xiaonuan thought about it and nodded, it is really not too late to get married at the age of nineteen
The days are quiet again, although there are still often Gongsheng people who come to visit Xie Yuangong, but after all, it is sporadic, and when he comes to say something, he leaves, compared with the days when the gongs and drums were noisy a while ago, it is really quiet.
When the autumn mood was strong, the ancient mansion received a letter from the Runan Palace, and Mrs. Li read the letter, her face was gloomy for a long time, and then she handed the letter to Li Xiaonuan, and commanded in a dull voice:
"You can take a look too."
Li Xiaonuan took the letter, first glanced at it quickly, read it carefully from beginning to end, and then carefully pondered the important points before putting down the letter, looked at Mrs. Li and said:
"Hanlin Senior Minister Yang Yuanfeng will serve as the pacification envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road and the governor of Hangzhou next year?"
Old Madam Li nodded slowly, Li Xiaonuan looked at Old Madam Li suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice:
"Yang Yuanfeng is the brother of Princess Cheng, what does this have to do with our family?"
Old Madam Li's eyes became sad, she raised her eyes to look out the window, and after a while, she exhaled heavily and said:
"King Cheng...... It's not good for our family, you remember, in the future, King Cheng's family will be as far away as they can. ”
Li Xiaonuan immediately nodded in agreement,
"I made a note of it, so shall we now?"
Old Madam Li closed her eyes slightly, revealing a slight smile,
"God still blesses our Gu family, but it just so happens that Xiao Er will be in the middle of the Yuan this year, we don't have to nest in Shangli Town, he comes, let's go and pack up, let's go to Beijing"
Li Xiaonuan was stunned for a while, and looked at Mrs. Li in a daze, entering Beijing? Is this going to Beijing? In the future, won't such a peaceful and comfortable life be gone? When I entered Beijing, I was afraid that I had to be careful every day, I had to weigh every word, and I had to crush every word I listened to and think about it for a long time
The capital, the capital still has those two scourges
Li Xiaonuan blinked her eyes and asked in a low voice:
"When are we leaving? After the New Year? ”
"Silly boy, if you want to move, then you can't delay, start packing up tomorrow, send someone into Beijing to clean up the house, and leave at the beginning of next month."
Li Xiaonuan blinked her eyes in a daze, tears came out, and Mrs. Li lovingly wiped Li Xiaonuan's tears with a handkerchief, and asked gently:
"Silly boy, can't you be reluctant, right?"
Li Xiaonuan's tears poured out all of a sudden, and she nodded hurriedly, and Mrs. Li also burst into tears.
"You girl, don't cry, look at you, the tears of the ancestors are also crying out, the ancestors are reluctant, but what is the way, this capital, we have to go sooner or later, go early, go early, you can also see the world, long insight, good boy, don't cry, cry again, the old ancestor's heart is so sour that he can't hold it"
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stopped her tears, looked at Mrs. Li with teary eyes, and nodded heavily,
"I know, the capital is good, but it's just a little reluctant"
Mrs. Li took Li Xiaonuan in her arms, patted her back gently, sighed slowly, and said in a low voice:
"Alas, you girl, you are like your ancestors everywhere, and you can't even bear to ...... Alas, don't be reluctant, to be willing is to be reluctant to think about the good in everything. ”
"Hmm"
Li Xiaonuan fell into the arms of Mrs. Li and agreed in a low voice.
In the evening, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou discussed, Mrs. Zhou was so excited that her face flushed slightly, go back to the capital, this is what I have dreamed of Gu Xiaozhong understanding the Yuan, go back to the capital, not to mention the champion next year, that is, a Jinshi is from a good background, with Runan Wangfu and Zhenning Houfu to take care of, isn't the future like a flower?
It's Yun Shan, Yun Shan married in this remote countryside, where can she put it in her heart?
Old Madam Li looked at her gently, and said with a smile:
"Tomorrow, send a few proper people to Beijing to clean up the house, and start packing up things at home, this trip to move over, and then come back, I don't know when, except for those stupid furniture, bring everything you can bring, let the pavilion housekeeper take care of it, inside, you take Yun Huan and Xiao Nuan, just worry more."
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly nodded in agreement, thought about it, and said hesitantly:
"Mother, let's go to Beijing this time, and we will be far away from Yunshan in the future, she is pregnant again, I want to go over and see her."
"Go, go, it's okay to stay for two more days, don't worry too much, Yun Shan is sensible, Zhiyang is also a competitive and sensible child, how good is it to Yun Shan, and the Jin family is not bad to Yun Shan, you can relax."
Mrs. Zhou nodded busily in response,
"What my mother said is very true, then I will send Mama Zhou to Taizhou to say it first, and I will leave the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, Mrs. Zhou moved excitedly, worried about Yunshan, and said a few more words with Mrs. Li uneasy, and then withdrew
The second shift continues in the afternoon, and I hope it will be adjusted tomorrow.
Hard-working little leisure, boast of yourself first
