Chapter 240: Sending Off
The spring rain all stopped when Ye Xuyao and Lin Long set off to leave, and the sky was clear and peaceful.
Lin Long was wearing a royal blue dress, a satin cloak embroidered with red and white plums, a beautiful snake bun, a few beautiful golden plums on the bun, and a peacock hairpin made of rubies on the sideburns, the whole person looked very smart.
Ye Manjun's eyes were full of reluctance, and he held Lin Long's hand all the way, "Sister-in-law, I will miss you, you have to write me more letters, so that I can know the recent situation at home and my mother's physical condition......"
At this time, she completely skipped her father Ye Mingsui, anyway, the scourge will last for thousands of years, and her father will definitely live a long time.
Lin Long's eyes were also red, not to mention that Ye Manjun was reluctant to let her leave, she was also reluctant to Ye Manjun now, "That's certain, my aunt and grandmother also have to write to us often to inform us of the current situation, especially when we are pregnant with a child, we must send a letter to us as soon as possible, I think my mother-in-law will be happy, and we can really rest assured that you are living here......"
The two sisters-in-law seemed to have endless parting words, and they both felt the pain of parting in their hearts.
Ye Xuyao stepped forward to separate the two, "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, don't be such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, when my brother is free, I will bring your sister-in-law to see you again." ”
Ye Manjun leaned on her husband's arms with a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and nodded with her lower lip in her mouth, "Brother, but it's okay, don't forget to bring your two nephews with you." ”
She didn't mention her mother Ye Zhong, it's not that she doesn't want her mother, it's just that she has traveled thousands of miles, and in a few years, her mother is getting older, and if her body doesn't improve, she can't afford to travel this long distance, and she can't let her mother remember her words. If there is an accident on the way, she will be uneasy for the rest of her life.
Ye Xuyao nodded solemnly and raised his hand to say goodbye to Zhu Ziqi.
Zhu Ziqi held his sad wife in his arms, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only nod his head.
Ye Xuyao gently helped his wife into the carriage, and after Lin Long got into the carriage, he still lifted the curtain and chatted with Ye Manjun with tears in his eyes, people who didn't know thought that these two were sisters, so inseparable.
Ma Lan, who had not been able to get to the front, finally came forward to give Lin Long a salute and wished her and his wife a smooth journey.
Lin Long wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and looked at Ma Lan's with a straight face, "Mrs. Ma, don't worry, when we return to Beijing, we will definitely fulfill Mrs. Ma's wish, and there will be an order to Ruyang City early next year at the latest." ”
This was the first time Lin Long had relieved his mouth and given the exact time, Ma Lanshi had always been embarrassed to ask, but now after listening to it, his face was full of excitement, "Thank you Mrs. Hou for bothering." ”
"The husband said that Master Ma has a very good reputation as an official here, and it should be time to transfer, Mrs. Ma doesn't have to worry too much, the saints are very sympathetic to officials from all walks of life." Of course, Lin Long had to praise the grace of the saint.
"That's his duty." The Ma Lan clan didn't dare to take credit, and they hadn't left this place yet, where could they show their proud side, and they didn't have to be disgusting.
Lin Long looked at her, this was a sober person, and he was still quite happy with her in his heart.
The two of them were talking, and Ye Xurong on the other side of the room was also saying goodbye to the eldest sister with red eyes, he had a deep relationship with Ye Manjun, and now that he was really parting, he had to be in a low mood.
"You have to read hard after you go back, the autumn season will start at the end of the year, you can't be as casual as before, reading is all based on your preferences, and it is not only you who have taken the fame, but also the glory of our Ye family, and my sister will be proud of you here when the time comes......"
Ye Manjun faced his younger brothers and sisters, and they all had to put on the posture of this eldest sister.
Ye Xurong never resisted, he would only feel spurred, and nodded heavily, "I'll send you good news, sister, you wait ......"
Zhu Ziqi is now busy taking over the affairs of Ruyang City, so he can only order the deputy general Zhou Yingji to send his eldest brother's family to the dock, and this journey will take at least twenty days.
Therefore, his instructions are also very detailed.
Zhou Yingji nodded, saying that he would complete this errand.
All parties are ready, even if there is a thousand reluctances, they still have to leave in the end, Lin Long has been leaning out of the car window and waving a handkerchief at the smaller and smaller figure behind, until she can no longer see it, she retracted her head and leaned on the cushion with a little interest, the sadness of leaving people still filled her heart.
Ye Manjun was also not helped by Zhu Ziqi to return to the city until he couldn't see the carriage, for fear that his wife would be upset, so he also abandoned the horse and sat in the carriage.
When she saw her husband sit down, she still leaned into his arms a little coyly, and he surrounded her and comforted her softly.
After a while, she stopped her uncomfortable mood a little and held her husband's hand, "My parents-in-law may have to leave for the other courtyard in two days, and I have to send someone to clean up......
Zhu Ziqi listened to his wife chattering about family affairs there, and knew that she was diverting her attention, so he pitied her even more for the pain of marrying far away, if he was in the capital, so that she could go back to her parents' house from time to time.
He lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the forehead with pity, "You are not alone, you still have me, and when we have children in the future, we will have children and grandchildren......"
Such a prospect can indeed dispel a lot of sorrows, Ye Manjun thought.
Lin Long's expression was still wilted until the carriage stopped for lunch, Ye Xuyao saw this, and said, "You have this time to think about parting, it is better to think about our two sons." ”
At the mention of his sons, Lin Long's sorrow dissipated a lot, and he began to discuss with her husband whether the two sons would call their fathers and mothers now, and so on.
Ye Xuyao handed the meal cooked by his subordinates to his wife's hand, "Let's eat something first, and then we have to hurry." ”
Lin Long nodded, now his thoughts of going home are stronger than the sorrow of leaving.
In addition to the carriage of the Ye family, there must also be a carriage to escort the Nine Princes, during this time, the Nine Princes have also lost a lot of weight with the naked eye, and his eyes are even deeper, obviously he is not so indifferent to becoming a prisoner.
He and his henchmen are the key objects to be guarded, and Wei Chishi does not dare to be negligent, so when he stops eating, he personally guards the Nine Princes, and will not leave him lightly.
After all, he has not been convicted yet, and the ninth prince is still the prince of the imperial court, so he has not been punished, but his every move must be closely guarded.
"Gao Zhi, tell me about your situation? After the fall of the Gao family, you are the only one left, if this king returns to Beijing and is convicted, you are afraid that you will not be able to escape death, right? The Nine Princes took a bite of the tasteless boiled meat, and looked at Yu Chishi with a smile.
Even if he didn't admit it that day, he could recognize Gao Zhilai at a glance, after all, when he was in the capital before, he and Gao Zhi were also very close.
Wei Chishi sneered at his usual smile, "If the prince is in this mood, think about yourself, whether I am dead or alive is not the turn of the prince to worry?" Don't think that words like these can shake me, don't dream. ”
In front of this enemy who harmed his entire family, there was no need for him to hide his identity.
The smile on the face of the Nine Princes slowly put away, and after a long while, he said again: "You seem to have a deep prejudice against this king, Gao Zhi, this king ......."
Wei Chishi drew his sword and pointed at him, "Lord Wang, it's better to use your mouth to eat, as soon as you speak, it stinks, don't think that you can impress me with a few words, you and I are already strangers." ”
The eyes of the Nine Princes narrowed slightly, and then his expression tensed and he stopped speaking.
The scene that happened here naturally fell in the eyes of Ye Xuyao and Lin Long, Lin Long stabbed her husband's waist, "Do you want to stop it?" ”
"No, he should be measured." Ye Xuyao said lightly.
Lin Long saw Yu Chishi withdraw his sword, so he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, yes, Gao Zhi has endured it for so long, and it is not bad for so long.
Huo Yuan carried a big knife and wandered to Wei Chishi's side, "Need help?" ”
Wei Chishi glanced at him and remained silent.
The Nine Princes glanced at Huo Yuan coldly, if he hadn't believed him, why would he have fallen to such a point? So in the face of Huo Yuan, who deceived him, he didn't have much good feelings.
Huo Yuan sat down, grabbed the chicken leg in front of Wei Chishi, took a bite, looked at the depressed appearance of the Nine Princes, and said with a smile: "Why is this so difficult, Lord Wang?" ”
"Why can't this king ask you about it?" The Ninth Prince replied stiffly.
"Also, how much can a courtier like me know about the affairs of the heavenly family? However, I know that to protect the family and defend the country, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, I guess the prince does not understand such a truth. Huo Yuan nodded slightly.
These words were quite echoed, and the Nine Princes heard it against their ears, threw down the tasteless food, cleaned their hands, and returned to the carriage, never showing up again.
Huo Yuan doesn't care what he's thinking, anyway, even if he doesn't die when he returns to Beijing, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead in this life, and what is there to be afraid of?
Wei Chishi turned his head to look at him, "I owe you a favor this time, and he will pay it back in the future." "If he debunks his identity after returning to Beijing, he still has his life.
Huo Yuan shrugged his shoulders and looked at the sky, "I have made a meritorious contribution this time, and there will be no human affection between you and me, and if we go a little further, you and I will have to part ways, and I have to take the army back to the border to go back to Beijing on the road." ”
The emperor's envoys traveled overland to Ruyang City some time ago, not only bringing the will of the saints, but also the name of Zhu Chen, and setting the word "戾", which shows how disgusted Emperor Zhu Yi is for her. Of course, after he returned to the border and picked up, he would be able to return to Beijing.
Wei Chishi patted him on the shoulder, in a certain way, both of them can be regarded as fallen people at the end of the world.
After eating and resting, the next trip is much tighter.
After about three or four days of walking, Huo Yuan finally wanted to part with them.
Lin Long sat in the carriage and watched, but he didn't show up, anyway, they didn't like to see each other, and if they couldn't meet, they wouldn't meet, so as to save embarrassment.
Huo Yuan's eyes glanced at Lin Long's carriage intentionally or unintentionally, if his father brought his stepmother's children over back then, then today, he is also Lin Long's stepbrother and sister.
Fortunately, his father didn't do it back then, otherwise this relationship would not only be in response, but he would also respond and arch his hand with Ye Xuyao, "Don't do it." ”
Ye Xuyao's expression was cold, but he still returned the salute.
Huo Yuan didn't care, he kicked the horse under his crotch, he led his army to the direction of the border, and suddenly the smoke and dust were billowing up.
Lin Long, who was sitting in the carriage, hurriedly asked the two big girls to tighten the curtains of the car, saving the wind and dust from coming in, but he hated it in his heart, this Huo Yuan must have done it on purpose, this Huo family just doesn't have a good thing.
Ruyan and Rumei saw the eldest grandmother's cold expression, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
However, Aunt Xin glanced at it before and said, "This General Huo is very strict in governing the army. ”
Lin Long said in an unkind tone: "But Er'er." ”
Aunt Xin glanced at Lin Long suspiciously, according to her observation during this time, Lin Long has always been generous, and she has never seen any prejudice against anyone, and for some reason she just didn't have a good word about this General Huo, but she didn't gossip so much about the master's family.
Lin Long did have irreconcilable prejudices against the Huo family, after all, both Huo Yan and his daughter Huo Xiangyu left the worst impression on her, and it was strange that the Huo family could like it.
Of course, she won't tell people these things everywhere with a big mouth, just understand it in her own heart.
This part of the way back, because the weather is gradually getting hotter, is a little easier than when I came, after all, this kind of weather is very suitable for travel, otherwise how can the most people travel at this time of the year.
In the capital, because it is about to enter summer, the heavy curtains in the palace are closed, and the light satin curtains are hung instead.
The court made a lot of trouble because of the removal of the remnants of the Nine Princes, but Su Ziyu in the harem was completely unaffected.
She is even more in the mood to teach twins the words "father" and "mother".
The second child of the Ye family grabbed her sleeve and called sweetly with a smile, "Brew ......"
The boss of the Ye family looked left and right, or half-crawled and half-walked to compete with the little prince for toys, completely ignoring Queen Su's teachings.
Su Ziyu was suddenly made to cry and laugh by the twins, and picked up the second child of the Ye family, "You call your mother nonsense, and when your mother comes back, she will beat your ass, do you believe it or not?" ”
As he spoke, he patted his ass and couldn't help but give him a heavy kiss on his little cheek.
Ye Yaohui thought that the adults were playing with him, and he smiled brightly.
"Niangniang, the porridge is ready."
Hearing Lusu's voice, Su Ziyu took the small bowl in Lusu's hand, which contained seafood porridge for the twins, but when she smelled the smell, she suddenly felt her stomach tumbling upside down, and she couldn't help but vomit it for a while.
