Chapter 127: Departure
On February 11, braving the cold wind and snow, Li Guan, Gu Chengyu and Dong Linzhi set off for Jinan, accompanied by their respective attendants and guards, as well as the two of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After discussing with Hewang, Ibis decided to accompany Li Wan to the Shandong boundary, and when the time came, she and Gu Chengyu and Dong Linzhi went to Jinan, and they went all the way south back to Yangzhou.
After a half-day journey, they had lunch in Aoyagi Town, and after a short rest, they continued on their way.
They had planned to get to the town ahead before dark, so that they could find an inn to stay overnight, but they didn't expect that as it got late, the wind and snow became more and more fierce, and the journey was very difficult.
Dong Linzhi and Gu Chengyu rarely had no disagreement, and unanimously decided to find a family nearby to settle down, so as not to make Li Guan suffer.
Everyone found a leeward foot of the mountain to rest, and Gu Chengyu pointed out two guards to go out to investigate and see where there were people who could spend the night.
"Guan'er, I'm really sorry, it's only the first day that I've made you suffer." He said to Li Guan very apologetically.
Li Guan naturally didn't blame him: "The weather is unpredictable, and it's not something you can decide." β
However, Dong Linzhi didn't speak so well, and said in a strange manner: "What kind of day are you picking, it is really unlucky to encounter such a big snowstorm on the first day!" β
Rao is Gu Chengyu is generous, and he couldn't help but sink his face when he heard this.
Li Wan glared at Dong Lin warningly: "As long as you talk a lot, if you don't want to go to Jinan, give me back to the capital now." β
Dong Linzhi snorted and stopped talking.
After a while, the guards came back and said that there was a farm not far away, and that they had agreed with the head of the household to spend the night there.
When they arrived at the farm, the head of the household warmly welcomed them into the door, and the two sons of the family saw that the guards were unloading their luggage, and hurriedly went over to help, but because it was mostly Li Guan's things, Zhou Guan politely refused.
After packing up and having a light dinner, everyone rested.
Li Guan only then heard the ibis say that this farm was the Zhuangzi of a large family in the capital, and the old couple was just a servant who guarded the village for the master's family, and because Gu Chengyu's guards gave them considerable money, they were so enthusiastic to stay in the house.
There are nearly twenty people in Li Guan's party plus the guards, and there are not so many rooms in the farm, so Hewang and Ibis Yu live in a room with Li Guan, and the three of them are comfortable drinking tea and chatting on the kang.
Li Guan couldn't fall asleep in another place, lying on the kang, there was the sound of crane wang and ibis breathing shallow in her ears, and she finally fell asleep, and there was a noise outside the window, and she woke up immediately.
Hewang also woke up at the same time, and when she saw Li Guan looking out of the window with her body propped up, she hurriedly said, "I'll go out and see what's going on." β
When you're away from home, it's better to be careful.
A moment later, Tsuru returned wrapped in a cloak.
"It was said that a few more people came to stay overnight, but because there was no place to live, the host's family refused, and those people wanted us to vacate the room and come out, and Gu Gongzi's guards had already dealt with it."
Li Wan nodded and said, "It's windy and snowy outside, it's not easy to find a place to live, let's try to make a place if we can." β
Hewang also thought so: "Gu Gongzi should be dealt with." β
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Chengyu's voice sounded outside the window: "Guan'er, have you slept?" β
"Nope." Li Wan immediately replied in a low voice.
"That's right, a few people came to spend the night just now, and they live next door to us, and you girls try to go out of the room as little as possible." lest they be struck by anyone.
"Okay, I got it."
"Then you should rest early."
After Gu Chengyu left, Hewang got on the kang and tucked the corner of the quilt to the sleeping ibis: "She has a big heart." β
Li Guan couldn't help but smile.
Almost sleepless all night, Li Wan barely fell asleep until it was almost dawn, and when he woke up again, it was already bright outside the window, and Hewang and Ibis were no longer in the house, only Xunfang sat by the kang and guarded her.
"Miss is awake, do you want to sleep again? Gu Gongzi said that we will leave in the afternoon, and we can rush to the town in front before dark. β
Li Wan knew that he had overslept and delayed his trip, so he couldn't help but blush: "What time is it?" β
"It's not noon."
It's all so late?
Li Guan was taken aback, lifted the quilt and got off the bed, Xun Fang went out and brought a pot of hot water to serve her to wash, she said while adjusting the water temperature: "By the way, do you know, it turns out that the ibis girl knows the little boy who stayed next door last night!" β
"Huh?" Li Guan buttoned up his shirt and looked up in surprise.
Xun Fang couldn't help laughing when she saw her buckle crookedly, wiped her hands and walked over to serve her and dress: "I heard the ibis girl say that on the way back to the private house from the Remnant Lotus Pavilion some time ago, she met the son, when the boy had a stubborn attack, the girl used a silver needle to help him temporarily relieve the symptoms, and also used her own carriage to send him to the nearest medical center, leaving two hundred taels of silver tickets as medicine money. β
This is indeed like what the ibis language can do, she seems to be very proud, but in fact she is kind and soft-hearted, and she has always been generous in terms of money.
Li Wan asked, "Where is she?" Why isn't Crane Wang? β
"The ibis girl is now applying needles to the little boy, and Zhu Fang has gone over to help. Miss Hewang knew that we wouldn't leave until the afternoon, so we would go out to practice after we got up, and we might come back later. β
As soon as Li Wan heard this, he was very interested in the little boy, and was ready to freshen up and take a look.
"Guan'er, are you up?" Dong Linzhi's shout came from outside, and then the door was pushed open.
Xun Fang was combing Li Guan's hair, and immediately frowned: "Third master, our young lady is not ready, why did you come in?" β
After getting acquainted with it, the people around Li Guan are no longer as cautious about Dong Linzhidu as before, and even a respectful person like Xun Fang sometimes can't help but say a few words.
Dong Linzhi didn't care, pulled a chair and sat next to Li Wan to watch her comb her hair.
Li Guan didn't think it was too bad because he didn't have that strict concept of male and female defense, so he picked out a hosta from the jewelry box and handed it to Xun Fang: "Let's insert a hairpin today." β
Xun Fang wanted to speak and stopped, took the hosta and inserted it gently.
Dong Linzhi looked at Li Guan in the bronze mirror, then looked at himself, and said with a smile: "It's still a real person and good-looking, this mirror has changed you." Don't you have a diorama? Why did you bring a bronze mirror out? β
The portrait of the diorama is brighter than the bronze mirror, Li Guan has always only used the diorama, Dong Linzhi has seen the faΓ§ade in her house full body diorama, inlaid with red, blue and green gemstones, very exquisite.
Li Guan looked at himself in the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and carefully put the bronze mirror into the jewelry box: "If I want to use a diorama, I can use a diorama, and if I want to use a copper mirror, I can use a copper mirror, what's your business!" β
Gu Chengyu, who had just entered the door, happened to hear this sentence word for word.
