When returning to the capital from Quanzhou, everyone once rested in Daxing Grange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three siblings, Kate, John and Elizabeth, who met the big grange in the north for the first time, were very excited, and went about playing and running around the mountains.

Because they were interested in the few frosted and brighter fruits hanging on the fruit tree, the bold John and Nuan Nuan climbed up the fruit tree together to pick them, leaving Kate, Elizabeth and Liu Zhan and Liu Che under the tree, which startled Peng Jin and hurriedly stopped them.

And because she couldn't bear to let the children down, Peng Jin promised them to come back next autumn to pick fruits.

In the autumn of the following year, Peng Jin kept her promise and invited Mrs. Josephine to take the children to live in Daxing Grange, and took the children to the mountains to climb trees and pick fruits.

Everyone was very happy, especially John and Nuan Nuan, who were in charge of climbing the tree and picking fruits, were like two nimble little monkeys, jumping up and down on the fruit trees in the mountains, so happy.

Originally, everyone agreed to go to Daxing Grange to climb trees and pick fruits this autumn, but because it was in the middle of autumn to move into the new mansion of Ning'an Bo Mansion in the streets and alleys of the palace, there were a lot of miscellaneous things, so it was delayed.

"Is there any fruit on the tree now?" Nuan Nuan was very skeptical.

Although it is still late autumn, the weather is very cold, and most of the fruit has already been picked and stored.

Liu Zhan and Liu Che also hurriedly nodded and asked.

"You don't have to worry about that." Peng Jin smiled, "My mother specially asked them to keep some on the tree before. Although the appearance is not very good after the frost, the taste is getting sweeter and sweeter. ”

When Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che heard this, they immediately became happy, clapped their hands and cheered: "It's really good!" When we get home, we will go to the Josephine family and invite them to go to Daxing Grange to pick fruits! ”

It just so happened that Mr. Josephine was also at home at this time, and everyone was even more lively when they played together.

Liu Zhi and Peng Jin nodded with smiles.

However, before their post could be sent, the Josephine family came to the door to leave.

"The last time I went to sea, I went deeper into the ocean and found out the deeper route, so coincidentally, I happened to come across a ship from my hometown, so I agreed to go back to my hometown with them next time I had the opportunity.

No, they sent a message that they were going to set sail home in the near future, and that we must now rush from the port of Tientsin to Quanzhou to meet them. Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and then set off from Huizhou together and return to their hometown. Mr. Josephine explained.

Liu Shi and Peng Jin, as well as Nuan Nuan Liu Zhan and Liu Che, were all very surprised when they heard this, and this kind of hasty farewell without any psychological preparation made them a little difficult to accept for a while.

"When I returned to Beijing from Danzhou before, I didn't hear you mention it," Liu Shi was silent for a long time and said.

Mr. Josephine said apologetically: "At that time, I had not discussed it with my wife and children, and I had not made up my mind, so I did not mention it to my uncle. It was only after these days that we agreed that we would follow them back to our hometown. No, as soon as the decision is made, I will hurry up to inform the uncle and Mrs. ”

After nearly ten years of wandering, it is not easy to realize the ambition of leaving home, and there is a chance to return home, how can they easily and willingly miss it.

Liu Shi and Peng Jin are not unreasonable people, and they smiled when they heard this: "This is a good thing, wanderers who go out are like birds leaving the nest, and they always have to return home." It's just that I heard in a hurry that the separation was imminent, and I always couldn't bear it in my heart. ”

Mr. Josephine sighed, "Who's to say it's not?" After living in Daqi for nearly ten years, this place has long become another hometown for us, and if we want to leave, we will always be reluctant to make friends here. ”

Especially the two children, John and Elizabeth, have been living in Daqi since they were sensible, if it weren't for the fact that their skin color and hair color are too different from the locals, look at their speech and demeanor, they would be the people of Daqi!

Although Kate is better, her hometown has long been thin into a few silhouettes for her, and now she is also very melancholy when she wants to leave Daqi.

Mrs. Josephine nodded, reluctantly took Peng Jin's hand, and said with red eyes: "Uncle and Mrs. are rare good people, and they are also our nobles, and it is our blessing to meet you!" This time I'm separated, I don't know when I'll be able to see each other again, just thinking about it, I can't help but cry......"

Lady Josephine said, tears about to fall.

"Don't do that." Peng Jin hurriedly handed over the handkerchief in his hand, wiped his tears for Mrs. Josephine, and reluctantly comforted: "There is a saying called 'confidants in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other', not to mention that we have our own caravan, and if we want to see each other again, it is not without a chance." ”

That being said, Daqi is not more modern than modern, with developed all kinds of transportation, whether by sea or by land, from Great Britain to Daqi are separated by more than half the world, and there are countless small risks and difficulties along the way, where you want to see you again.

So the faces of the crowd were sad and reluctant, and it was difficult to perfunctory even a reluctant smile.

In particular, the six children have long been gathered together to wipe their tears, sobbing and talking about the reluctance to separate, the lovesickness after parting and the longing for reunion.

For a while, the entire Ning'an Bo Mansion was shrouded in a layer of sorrowful fog of parting, which did not disperse for a long time.

However, no matter how reluctant to part, time is still moving forward steadily step by step, and the day of parting finally comes.

On the tenth day of October, early in the morning, Josephine's family of five boarded the parting carriage.

Liu Shi and Peng Jin, Nuan Nuan, Liu Zhan, and Liu Che, the three sisters and brothers, accompanied them all the way to the gate of the south of the city to see off their family with their parting gifts.

"'Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end', uncle and wife will be sent here." Mr. Josephine dissuaded, "When I return to my hometown, I still want to go to sea again, and when the time comes, we will meet again." ”

Liu Shi and Peng Jin sighed and arched their hands: "Then let's say goodbye here." I wish you all a smooth journey and get what you want! ”

Mr. and Mrs. Josephine were busy thanking them.

Both sides are very reluctant.

The child was still gathered around, exchanging gifts with each other, telling about the reluctance to part, and agreeing to see each other next time.

The three siblings, Kate, John and Elizabeth, prepared a Western sword, an ancient book in foreign languages, a model of a fleet of ships and an overseas map for Nuan Nuan, Liu Zhan and Liu Che as parting gifts.

Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che returned to two sets of Baohua Lou's inlaid treasure head and a basket of Baohua Lou's various autumn fruits.
