Chapter 139: Farewell
Xibao was so anxious and contradictory for two days, and it was the day when his eldest brother was about to leave, because Qi You had promised her that she could go to see them off, and the princess also understood their brother and sister's affection, so Xibao was able to travel back to Zhao Mansion in simple clothes.
The second brother left Beijing to go to the northwest when she was not able to send it off, this time the eldest brother is going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to inspect the natural can't be missed, with the permission of the princess, Xibao took Wenqin and a maid back to Zhao's mansion.
Because it was a temporary return to the house, the Zhao Mansion did not know, and when the carriage of the palace arrived at the gate of the Zhao Mansion, the subordinates realized that this was the Zhao side concubine, so they hurriedly informed the old lady who was in the sadness of parting.
As soon as he heard that his daughter had rushed back, Zhao Zongzhen hurriedly took his wife and Zhao Yunfan out to greet him, and at this time, the anxious Xibao had already gotten out of the carriage and entered the outer courtyard, and when General Zhao rushed out, Xibao was also rushing to the inner courtyard.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zongzhen and Zhang, Xibao's tears overflowed and said, "Dad, mother, big brother, I'm back." ”
Zhang's was worried about his eldest son's trip, and he had tears in his eyes, but when he saw his daughter tired, Zhang couldn't help but cry and said: "Good daughter, you're back, if you're late, your eldest brother will set off, maybe you won't see each other for half a year." ”
Xibao smiled with tears: "Isn't this rushing back, don't cry, mother, it's a good thing that this big brother can be sealed." ”
Zhao Zongzhen said: "Good girl, if you don't cry, your mother's tears won't fall, don't cry, let's go into the house." ”
Zhao Yunfan also said: "That's it, it's just a few months of expatriation, why don't my sister and mother seem to see me for many years, if you continue to cry, I won't leave, I simply go back to the emperor, this Qin sent me not to go." ”
Zhao Yunfan's agitation stopped in the eyes of Xibao's mother and daughter, Zhao bluffed him, and Xibao also gave him a blank look and expressed his disapproval. Zhao Yunfan said: "Look at what I've done, don't cry, that's good, I'll set off in half an hour." Let's get into the house. ”
Xibao was not hypocritical when he heard that the eldest brother was going to leave in half an hour, so he directly climbed Zhao's arm and said, "Mother, hurry up, let's go in and talk." ”
When Xibao and his party entered the house, they were sweating a little, but the Zhao couple said tacitly: "Girl." In the past few days, your mother and I have been chatting with your eldest brother a lot, and it will take half an hour, so you can talk to your eldest brother, and your father and mother will wait for you outside. ”
Xibao gratefully glanced at his father and mother and then turned around and said: "Big brother, you have to be very careful on this trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I don't know why, when I knew that you might be sent abroad, I was very unsure." ”
Zhao Yunfan was afraid that it was a brother and sister connection, and according to the words of King Yong, he had already guessed that this inspection was destined to be thrilling. Later, the silver snake's harmony confirmed this conjecture, although they didn't dare to tell their parents or sister, but they all had some feelings, especially their sister.
In order to comfort Xibao, Zhao Yunfan said: "Silly girl, this is just a routine matter of the imperial court, what can happen to so many guards along the way, don't worry about it." ”
Xibao was still uneasy: "Big brother, just listen to me, I feel very bad this time." is even more uneasy than the second brother's time, the second brother can defend himself when he has a martial art, you can't do it, besides, the prince also said that he would send secret guards to protect you secretly. As soon as I heard this, I seemed to be able to think that this road must not be smooth, and you have no experience, hey, you still have to be careful, what dangerous places to personnel. Try not to touch it, as long as you can come back safely. ”
Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Silly sister, it's normal for this man to be in danger in all directions, and besides, didn't the prince say that he would send someone to protect him secretly, brother, I will go and come back in three or two months, you said that you want something delicious in that place, and the eldest brother will bring it back to you when the time comes." ”
Xibao smiled helplessly: "Big brother, I'll tell you something serious, don't be joking." Seeing that the eldest brother had been revolving around the topic, Xibao's heart became even more uneasy.
Zhao Yunfan also smiled: "In my heart, it is also a serious thing to bring back some delicious food for my sister, do you say?" ”
"Big brother!" Xibao was in a hurry.
Zhao Yunfan smiled lightly: "Hey, I'm really in a hurry, little sister, you should understand that you have been married to Lord Yong for so long??? Sometimes things have to be done, your second brother is now far away in the northwest, even if he has made a contribution, he can't take care of the capital, this is a good opportunity, the eldest brother knows that this road may not be a little smooth, but some things are not done without this opportunity, you can rest assured, since the eldest brother dares to take over this position, there is naturally a foolproof strategy, as long as you and your father and mother are good in the house, I will not have any worries. ”
Xibao heard the words: "Big brother, isn't this time very strict, do you know anything?" ”
Zhao Yunfan knew that his sister understood his words and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are indeed smart, now is not the time for you to know, the eldest brother is not trying to hide it from you or what, but now is not the time, you just need to pay more attention to your father and mother." ”
Xibao was a little angry and said: "Big brother, what's wrong, I think something is strange this time, really, big brother, you ???"
Zhao Yunfan twisted his eyebrows and said: "Xibao, I don't want to talk to you much about the court, as long as you know how to listen to the prince's words, take care of yourself and your father, and wait for the eldest brother to come back safely, and don't ask anything else." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yunfan tried his best to appease himself, Xibao had no choice but to suppress this worry in his heart and smiled: "Big brother, you ??? Hey, forget it, anyway, my sister's big brother should be in my heart, as long as you are careful all the way and return safely. ”
Although he knew that this trip was sinister and abnormal, for the sake of the whole family, Zhao Yunfan would return safely even if he was stained with blood with his own hands, this was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, even if he took his life to fight, he would not hesitate.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunfan, who was extremely firm in his heart, said with a smile: "Sister, the eldest brother said that it will definitely become your reliance in this life, so you can rest assured, rest assured and wait for your brother to come back." ”
Xibao knew that this was the oath of the eldest brother and the second brother when she got married, although she hoped that the family would be glorious, but she hoped that everyone would be safe and sound, and what she wanted was not so dangerous to get it back.
When the two siblings were reluctant, there was a small girl's urging outside, and Xibao knew that the time had come.
Zhao Yunfan also got up and was about to go out, but Xibao rushed into Zhao Yunfan's arms and hugged him, and said in a firm tone: "Big brother, no matter what happens on this trip, you have to come back safely for me, sister, I will wait." ”
Zhao Yunfan hugged the taller little sister and sighed: "That's natural, I still want to watch my sister be rich and powerful, besides, if you go to a far away door and don't bring you some delicious food, you don't have to cry." Okay, sister, wait for me to come back. ”
After that, Zhao Yunfan let go of Xibao and turned around and walked out of the gate, and Xibao also chased out quickly. Following the Zhao couple until they sent Zhao Yunfan to the gate, watching him get into the carriage and disappear at the corner of the street, Xibao burst into tears and said, "Big brother, you must do what you promised me." ”
Looking at his mother, who was already crying, and his father, who was holding back tears, Xibao quickly wiped his tears and said, "Dad." Mother, don't cry, you guys are like this, how can he rest assured, it's windy outside, let's go back to the house. ”
Xibao took the second elder back to the house and ordered: "Butler, from today onwards, the Zhao Mansion will refuse to visit a single visitor, and strengthen the patrol in the mansion, especially at night, when the eldest brother is not there." If there is anything important in the palace, you can immediately send someone to the palace to inform the palace, and the palace will definitely rush back as soon as possible. ”
Then Xibao said to the Zhao couple again: "Dad, mother, today's daughter came out after taking leave from the princess, the time is almost over, and it is time to go back, this time the eldest brother and the second brother are not by your second elder's side, but your second elder should pay more attention to your body." This is the token in the palace, your second elder holds, if you really encounter anything, immediately send someone to the palace to find me, this time you are old and feel at ease, the eldest brother and the prince also sent someone to take care of it. It's going to be fine, I'll be back in three or two months. ”
Of course, the Zhao couple knew that this was their daughter worried about him, and looked at the token in his hand Zhao Zongzhen and said: "Girl, don't worry about us, I'm also a second-grade general, I'm used to seeing each other this time." Isn't it just a mess, a few months, I've passed a few times, it's okay. ”
Zhang also said: "Yes, you don't have to worry about us, but you have to take good care of yourself in the palace, remember to send someone back to report anything, so that your father and mother can rest assured." ”
Zhao Zongzhen said: "Okay, you should go back too, don't worry about it here." Go ahead, go back early. ”
Seeing that the relationship between the father and mother was stable, Xibao didn't stay anymore and took Wenqin to say goodbye, and on the carriage back, Xibao touched the last few words of his eldest brother.
What does it mean to have power in the world, is it true that the eldest brother has any other intersection with the prince, to be honest, Xibao married to the palace as a side concubine, and knew that she would always be a short concubine, even if Qi You will really become a big treasure as outsiders say in the future, it is also Princess Liu's power in the world, what does this have to do with her as a side concubine, as long as she can keep the family safe and rich, it is good.
At this time, the husband and wife of the Zhao family were a little stunned with the royal token given by Xibao, Zhao Zongzhen has been immersed in officialdom for many years, since his son was sealed Qincha, he keenly found that his son was a little mysterious, although he tried a few times openly and secretly, but his son just passed by haha, knowing that he didn't want them to be parents.
However, my daughter also specially sent the token of the palace this time, isn't it more telling the problem, this time I'm afraid it's not just my son's business, it is estimated that they Zhao Mansion and Xibao's girl may be implicated, so now we really have to keep a low profile, hey, I don't know when I will be able to come back, Yunfan, your father and mother both understand, as long as you come back safely.
Zhang looked at his husband in a daze at the token and asked, "Master, what's going on with my daughter?" ”
Zhao Zongzhen was afraid that she would be worried, so he smiled and said: "This is our daughter's filial piety, seeing that our two sons were appointed by the imperial court, she was afraid that we would have something, so she gave this token, hey, it's just a matter of a few months, this child, madam, let's just listen to our daughter's words, the children are not here anyway in the past few months, let's just live in peace for a few days." ”
Zhang's red eyes seemed to understand his words and said, "Okay, listen to my daughter, I'll go see what we have for lunch?????" (To be continued.) )
