Chapter Ninety-Nine: On the Way
Gu Yunhuan was also excited and didn't know what to do, pulled Li Xiaonuan, and kept talking about the prosperous old things in the capital, nothing more than going to Runan Wangfu to enjoy the flowers, to Zhenning Hou's Mansion to listen to the play, and entering the palace to ask Cheng Guifei to say goodbye, and so on, Li Xiaonuan was secretly sad and worried, but seeing Gu Yunhuan was rarely happy to be like this, but she couldn't bear to sweep her up, so she had to busy arranging the girl's mother-in-law to sort out all kinds of things, make booklets, and clean up things, while accompanying one ear to the past, listening to Gu Yunhuan's voice, from time to time, "Huh? Aha" coping.
When the news came, Gu Xiao, Xie Yuangong's entertainment, increased again, this time, they all came to see off Xie Yuangong, Gu Xiao was so busy for more than half a month that he didn't have time to talk to Li Xiaonuan.
Mrs. Li invited Mr. Chen to come over, and carefully told him about the Gu family's plans, Mr. Chen was unwilling to leave his hometown in Yuezhou and go to the capital, so Mrs. Li had no choice but to give him a generous gift, reluctantly let him go back, and was worried about inviting Gu Xiao to ask for a teacher again.
Two days later, Jin Zhiyang sent Mrs. Zhou back, and Mrs. Zhou was full of joy and reported to Mrs. Li with a smile:
“…… Yun Shan's body is better than last time, Yan'er is also good, alas, my mother didn't see it, that Yan'er walked, just like Yun Shan when she was a child, she was trotting sideways all the way, and the girls couldn't catch up with her."
Jin Zhiyang touched his knees, leaned sideways, sat respectfully in the armchair, with a smile on his face, listening attentively to Mrs. Zhou's words, Mrs. Li's eyes swept over Jin Zhiyang, nodded with satisfaction, Mrs. Zhou's eyebrows danced and continued:
"Mother, my mother said that when Yun Shan gave birth to a child, I want Yun Shan and Zhiyang to take the child and go to Beijing together to wait for the exam, the Jin family's house in the capital is in the north and south lecture halls and alleys, speaking of which, it is also very close to our house, but no one has lived in it for many years, I am afraid that it will be repaired, and I want us to help worry about it, and watch the repair."
Mrs. Li's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Jin Zhiyang with a thick smile, and Jin Zhiyang hurriedly reported with a smile:
"Last year, my grandfather wanted me to go to Beijing to wait for the exam, but, firstly, Yan'er is still young, and secondly, there is no one in the capital who can take care of it, and my grandfather is really not worried that I will go alone, and this plan will be delayed, this time I heard that the house is going to move the family to the capital, my grandfather is extremely happy, and has told my father to prepare for the journey."
Old Madam Li laughed, looked at Jin Zhiyang, and said gently:
"Your grandfather thinks very much, if you and Yunshan are just going to the capital with their children, not to mention your grandfather, even I can't rest assured, about the house, go back and tell your grandfather, just rest assured, as soon as we arrive in the capital, we will arrange for someone to go over and watch the garden of the house be repaired."
"Thank you ancestors, Yun Shanla will be full at the end of the month, I said that I will leave later, I am afraid that she will be tired on the road, but Yun Shan said, all the way by boat, I can't get tired, I want to leave early, I told my grandfather, my grandfather said, out of the fifteenth, he sent us to Beijing,"
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, Mrs. Zhou looked at Jin Zhiyang with loving eyes, and the three of them talked for a long time, before Jin Zhiyang retired and rested, and the next morning, he set off to go back to Taizhou.
In October, the auspicious day of the sixth day of the first month, the family got into the car, a line of dozens of cars, slowly left the old house of the ancient family, and set off to the capital.
Gu Yunhuan squeezed into Li Xiaonuan's car, looking out excitedly through the silk curtain, Li Xiaonuan was lazy and half-lying in the carriage, yawning sleepily and said:
"I'm going to sleep for a while, see for yourself, don't bother me."
Gu Yunhuan turned his head, grinned and pushed Li Xiaonuan and said:
"Look at you, you're young, but you're less energetic than your ancestors, what are you sleeping, come and see, it's fun outside."
Li Xiaonuan was pushed back and forth by her, closed her eyes, and said lazily:
"I went straight to Mama Sun last night in the middle of the night, and then I sealed those who were all right, and this morning Yin Zheng got up and watched people pack up and set off, **** didn't sleep much, you were lazy to hide and sleep enough, and now you came to trouble me again"
Gu Yunhuan smiled lightly, a little embarrassed, reached out and closed the curtains on both sides, and said with a smile:
"Then you can sleep, I won't make noise with you."
Li Xiaonuan opened her eyes, looked at Gu Yunhuan, who was tilting her head and looking at her, and said with a smile:
"You just watch your liveliness, if the curtain is closed or not, I can sleep soundly."
Gu Yunhuan chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for Li Xiaonuan, patted her and said:
"You sleep, I'll lift the curtain and watch the excitement too."
Li Xiaonuan nodded, yawned, and fell asleep for a while.
After walking for seven or eight days in a row, Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan were crowded in a car almost every day, and Mrs. Li pointed at Gu Yunhuan with amusement and said:
"I knew that this was the case, you didn't have to do that car, just make a car for you and Xiao Nuan, and after a few days in the capital, I don't think you need to clean up the yard, you just live with Xiao Nuan"
Gu Yun smiled and nodded,
"If Xiao Nuan doesn't bother me, this is the best"
Mrs. Zhou laughed, pointed at Gu Yunhuan and got up helplessly,
"Look at you, you see that you are about to get married, and this day is like a child."
Gu Xiao sat beside him dignifiedly, looking at his happy and energetic mother and sister, his eyes bent into a line with a smile.
In the middle of the night, it rained, and the group was not in a hurry, waiting for the rain to stop, and resting for another day, before setting off for the capital again.
Gu Yunhuan looked at the yellow leaves outside with a gloomy face, Li Xiaonuan looked at her, a little strange, opened her mouth, and swallowed back the words to her mouth, forget it, don't ask, this eldest lady's troubles, just that one, this gloomy, must have heard some bad letter yesterday.
Yesterday, a steward in the capital came over, I didn't hear Mrs. Li mention anything, and I didn't see anything unusual about Mrs. Li, so it must not be related to the Gu family, well, it can only be the family affairs of Runan Wangfu or Zhenning Houfu, and let Yun Huan be so depressed, alas, I'm afraid that Cheng Ke has something to do.
She wasn't interested in this at all.
Li Xiaonuan flipped out of the compartment of the carriage, half lay on the big pillow, and read it attentively.
Gu Yunhuan was depressed for a long time, and when she saw that Li Xiaonuan ignored her, she pouted, became a little angry, reached out and snatched the book in Li Xiaonuan's hand, and complained aggrievedly:
"Xiao Nuan, you ignore me"
Li Xiaonuan closed her eyes helplessly, spread her hands and asked:
"You have a good look at the scenery, what do you want me to take care of you?"
"Xiao Nuan, I'm very sad in my heart, don't you see?"
Gu Yunhuan's voice brought out some crying, Li Xiaonuan stared at her seriously for a while, slowly shook his head and said:
"I don't see it."
"You"
Gu Yunhuan was so choked by Li Xiaonuan that he almost turned his back on his breath, turned around violently, and no longer paid attention to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan picked up the book that Gu Yunhuan threw in the carriage, opened it, and continued to read the book.
Gu Yunhuan was angry for a while, but he didn't see any movement, turned around in confusion, and saw Li Xiaonuan holding the book again and reading it, Gu Yunhuan was really aggrieved this time, sobbing and shedding tears.
Li Xiaonuan reluctantly put down the book in his hand, sighed and asked:
"What the hell is it that makes you sad like this?"
Gu Yunhuan became even more aggrieved, crying silently, Li Xiaonuan had to straighten up, poured a cup of tea from the warm cave and handed it to her, and gently coaxed her and said:
"Okay, don't cry, look, if your eyes are swollen from crying, you won't be able to explain when you get out of the car for a while."
Gu Yunhuan nodded, gradually stopped crying, looked up at Li Xiaonuan, and said aggrievedly:
"Xiao Nuan, you don't know, yesterday the steward sent a letter, saying that Cousin Ke ...... Cousin Ke...... 's family affairs are going to be decided."
Gu Yunhuan flattened his mouth, and was about to cry out again, Li Xiaonuan looked at the sad Gu Yunhuan helplessly, alas, this is not a matter of time or time, this princess of Runan Wang is not something that a family like the Gu family can climb, besides, the Cheng family also has an imperial concubine, and Zhou Jingran is still standing next to Cheng Ke...... One is a prince with sufficient strength, the princess of this world was selected by the Cheng family, and it must be selected by the imperial concubine and Zhou Jingran.
Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was slightly distracted, and pouted,
"Little Warmth"
Li Xiaonuan came to his senses, looked at Gu Yunhuan, and asked with a smile:
"Which girl is it?"
"I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the Yao Guogong family."
"When you were in the capital, did you see her?"
"Well, I've seen one or two faces, they were all young at that time, she was pretty good-looking, and she spoke softly, she was the young lady of Yao Guogong's family, anyway, everyone praised her for being good."
Li Xiaonuan laughed, rolled her eyes slightly, and asked curiously:
"This eldest lady of the Yao Guo family, do you like to use fragrance?"
Gu Yunhuan was stunned, looked at Li Xiaonuan inexplicably and said:
"I don't know."
"It doesn't matter if she loves it or not, anyway, in the future, she will marry her cousin, live in a courtyard, and she will be stained with fragrance."
Gu Yunhuan laughed out loud, squinted at Li Xiaonuan and said:
"You're really narrow-minded, that's what you say...... However, it is also true, it has to be fragrant everywhere you go. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yun and laughed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with a smile:
"You said last time that the Runan Mansion also has the same rules as the Zhenning Marquis Mansion, before getting married, people are allowed in, is it really fake?"
"Of course it's true."
Gu Yunhuan glanced at Li Xiaonuan,
"Didn't I tell you, a few girls in Cousin Ke's room, all of them are good-looking, and they are all carefully selected by my aunt."
"Alas"
Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunhuan and thought for a while before he whispered:
"Second sister, you said, there are so many beautiful maids in the young master...... There are also many prostitutes, and I don't know if the eldest lady of the Yao family will feel sad when she sees her husband doting on this and that? ”
Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan and was stunned
I'm so tired, tomorrow is the first shift? Or is it a double watch?
It's a painful question
