"Master, when are we leaving?" I asked, expectantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He glanced at the sky and said, "Tomorrow, you can clean up tonight." ”
Although Daddy was a little reluctant, I insisted again and again, and he had to relent, telling me not to dress up as a woman and never cause trouble to Master. Master didn't say much, just listened to me and Daddy.
I came out of the living room, glad that I couldn't find my way back. was wandering, and saw the eldest brother and the third brother walking together. Without thinking much about it, I said to them, "Where have you been?" If you don't come back, you won't see me for the next few months. ”
The third brother looked nonchalant and said, "Even if I came back, I didn't see Sister Zhu much." How? Sister Zhu is about to officially retreat? ”
"Why should I go into retreat?" I annoyed.
The eldest brother stepped forward and said, "Is the second sister going somewhere?" ”
"That's right," I said happily, "I'm going to Tanzhou, and Master is going to Yuelu Academy to give a lecture, so he's going to take me with him." ”
He also smiled and said, "This is indeed a good thing. ”
The third brother was surprised and asked, "Dad actually allowed you to go?" ”
"Well," I added, nodding triumphantly, "I'm going to be the companion of Master, and it's so much better to have me with him, as it would be so boring for him to go so far away alone." ”
"Hmph." The third brother was dissatisfied, "Why do you want to go wherever you want?" I'm going too. ”
I said, "I'm here to do serious things, not to play." You don't need to look red. ”
"What serious business?" He asked, and said, "I'm going to beg Daddy too, and I'm going to go out to play." With that, he ran away.
I couldn't stop him, so I let him go. The eldest brother just smiled helplessly, and then left.
I wandered around alone for a long time, and finally turned back to the attic. As soon as she entered the wooden building, she told Yueying to go out and buy a few sets of men's clothes and a few pairs of shoes worn by men, and told her to buy some thick and thin ones for summer and autumn.
She took the money and asked me, "What do you want to buy all these clothes and shoes?" ”
I explained to her, "Master is going to Yuelu Academy to give a lecture, and I will go with him." ”
"Huh?" Yueying said with a sad face, "Go to Yuelu Academy?" Wouldn't Zhu Niang have to go for a long time to be so far away? ”
I nodded and said, "About five months." That's why you buy some clothes for each season. ”
Yueying was a little sullen and said, "Then Yueying can't see Zhu Niang for five months." ”
I walked up to her, took her hand and comforted, "I'll be back, five months will be over soon." ”
She begged, "Can't Yueying go with Zhu Niang?" On the way, I also take care of Zhu Niang. ”
Actually, I originally wanted to take Yueying with me, after all, Master is a man, and if Yueying is together, some things will be much more convenient. But no matter how much I begged Daddy, it was useless, he insisted that going to one more person Master would be an extra burden, if I wanted to take Yueying with me, then simply stay at home. I had to give up.
I looked at Yueying's eyes, shook my head helplessly, and said, "Dad doesn't allow it." He comforted her and said, "We've only been separated for five months, and we'll see each other soon." ”
She looked gloomy and said, "Since the master said no, then Yueying won't follow." And said: "Yueying will miss Zhu Niang." ”
I patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yueying, I promise not to be separated from you for so long in the future, even if I get married, I will take you with me." ”
She burst into tears and smiled, and said: "Zhu Niang has to be a word when she speaks, even if she gets married in the future, she will bring Yueying with her." ”
"Of course." I'm cut to the core.
Her mood was a little better, and she said, "That Yueying went to buy clothes." ”
I told her again, "Buy loose, light-colored ones." ”
She answered, and went out.
I went upstairs, opened the cupboards, and started to pack things. After I sorted out some of the items I needed to use, Yueying also came back and helped me pack my luggage.
Properly organized, sorted out three large packages. I thought to myself, even though I don't have to carry them on my back, it's a burden to carry so many things around, and it's easy to attract bandits. So I had to open the package, take some things off, and the three packages became two.
Master stayed at my house tonight, and we had a meal together in the evening. At the dinner table, the color of the third brother was not very good-looking, Xu because he went to beg Daddy, Daddy not only did not agree, but also scolded him.
After eating, I comforted the third brother privately and said that I would try my best to buy him any gadgets he wanted.
Who knew that my kindness was met with a roll of his eyes, and he puffed up angrily: "Who is rare of those gadgets? Vulgar! I want to increase my knowledge. ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Then my sister won't bring you anything." ”
He was even more angry, flicked his sleeves and left. I hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Don't be angry, my sister will bring you a lot of things." ”
He stopped, looked at me, and said pitifully, "Sister Zhu, can't you go and beg my father to let me go too?" ”
His sad look made me look at it and I couldn't help it. But there was no other way, so I had to look back at him sympathetically and helplessly.
"That's it." He sighed and said resolutely, "It's not a big deal, why don't you have a chance in the future, Sister Zhu, it's better for you to go." ”
"That's the right way to think about it." I patted him on the shoulder, "Third brother, you have a lot of youth." ”
He smiled relieved and left.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, after breakfast, after saying goodbye to Tongyueying with tears, waving goodbye to Daddy and Auntie, and shaking hands with my eldest brother and third brother, I set off with Master and went to Tanzhou.
The means of transport for this journey is: donkeys.
When I finished saying goodbye to my family, I went out of the gate with two packages on my shoulder, and I was stunned when I saw the two donkeys outside the door.
The master, dressed in white, sat on the back of a donkey and said to me in a serious manner, "Go up quickly." ”
So I ...... Climbed on the back of a donkey. I believe that this will be one of the most memorable trips I have ever made in ancient times.
In fact, in ancient times, riding a donkey was also an elegant thing, although riding a donkey is not as chic as riding a horse, but it is also the most economical and favorite choice for many literati and artists.
Thinking about the allusion of Jia Island's "riding a donkey to find poetry", I feel that I will be able to find a poem in this way in the near future.
Qiantang is bustling, and the streets are relatively congested. There were many people riding horses and cars on the road, and Master and I rode two donkeys and walked slowly down the streets, which seemed to be out of step with the bustling and hectic here.
Considering the long distance and the slow strength of the donkey's feet, when I passed by the steamed bun shop, the dim sum shop, and the flatbread stall, I bought a lot of dry food, in case I rode the donkey to a certain place where there was no shop in front of the village and no store, so that I would not starve to death on the donkey's back.
