Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Long Way to Catch Up with Gyeonggi

When it was the second day, there was still no carriage of Shu Wangjin on the road in Linshan County, Xiahou Linlang sighed silently under the city gate, and said to Lin Mei behind him, "Everyone in the capital will definitely hold a family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family must participate, and Shu Gongzi must go back to the capital directly......"

Lin Mei received a letter from her mother yesterday, saying that there was an urgent matter in the capital, and she would have to wait for more than a month to come back.

"Linlang, didn't you live in the capital before?" Lin Mei looked at the official road where the yellow sand was rolling, and there were no cars and horses coming in the distance.

Xiahou Linlang hesitated slightly, and then replied lightly.

Lin Mei was overjoyed, and held her hands excitedly, "Then let's go to the capital too!" Anyway, you know it well...... My mother said that there was something in the capital, and it would take more than a month to come back, so it was better to ...... I'll go to the capital to find my mother, you help me lead the way, and then you go to Shu Wangjin, okay? "Anyway, after arriving in the capital, Xiahou Linlang didn't want to get close to Shu Wangjin again.

"Miss Lin, although it only takes three or four days for Linshan County to go to the capital, we are both women, and we have no servants to escort us, so I am afraid that the road will not be very peaceful." Xiahou Linlang frowned, obviously not optimistic about this idea.

The two looked at each other sadly, and involuntarily sighed a few times at the same time.

"Wait......" Lin Mei narrowed her eyes, grabbed Xiahou Linlang's hands and asked, "Linlang, do you know that there is a family in the capital surnamed Zhang?" ”

Zhang ...... The noble family in the capital has not heard of a person surnamed Zhang. Xiahou Linlang thought carefully for a while, then remembered one thing, and whispered, "Are you talking about the foreign family of Miss Liu Yufei of Linshan County?" ”

Lin Mei hurriedly nodded and answered, "Yufei's maternal grandfather, grandmother, and uncle's family are very good to Yufei, and they send a lot of things over to see her every year." ”

"I know this Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang is a second-class official in the previous dynasty, and the family is very rich, but it has declined in the past ten years, but the foundation of the Zhang family is still there." The reason why Xiahou Linlang forgot about this Zhang family is precisely because although the Zhang family is rich, there is no one who can speak in the court, so it is not within the scope of Xiahou's communication.

"It would be nice if Yufei's family sent someone to pick her up and take her to the capital......" Lin Mei had this idea, if there was a family member of the Liu family to escort her, the two of them would naturally not have to worry about other problems.

Xiahou Linlang sighed and said faintly, "Today is August 11, and the Zhang family did not send someone to pick up Miss Liu, which means that the Zhang family will not send someone to come, otherwise it would have been because someone should have come yesterday, otherwise how could it be in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?" ”

Wait a minute...... The old lady of the Zhang family......

"Miss Lin, let's go back and pack our things quickly and go to Liu's mansion, the old lady of the Zhang family should be sixty years old this year, his birthday is a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zhang family will definitely send someone to Linshan County to pick up Miss Liu to the capital this year."

Xiahou Linlang pushed Lin Mei impatiently, every time after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be all kinds of chrysanthemum banquets and moon banquets in the capital, to put it mildly, it is a blind date banquet! What if Shu Gongzi takes a fancy to a girl from another family at that time......

So the two of them made a deal like that for a while, then got up and went back to Lin Mei's small courtyard, packed up some silver taels and a change of clothes, and hurried to the county mansion.

And here in the county government, Liu Yufei is still embroidering the wedding dress in the boudoir, but now she doesn't have to marry Li Xiuniang is not here, she is naturally not in a hurry, she only embroiders a little bit every day, and she has not embroidered a palm-sized pattern for five or six days.

"Miss, what is this pattern, it looks so complicated and gorgeous...... the maid Luo'er took the medicinal food and put it aside, and sat down to see the intricate pattern embroidered by Liu Yufei.

"This is called a beautiful pattern, and it is said to bless a woman with a happy family after she gets married." Liu Yufei embroidered slowly, stitches and threads were extremely careful, Lin Mei has always been an acute child, but she is just the opposite, her temperament is like water, no matter how big something happens, she is not in a hurry, the last time she was surprised to see Lin Mei's disfigurement was the second time Liu Yufei was so out of shape in her life.

Luo'er helped Liu Yufei open the wedding dress, and then said, "By the way, Miss, Steward Zhang is here, and the master is receiving him, saying that Mrs. Zhang will be 60 years old in a few days, and now I will take you to the capital, maybe I can catch the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." ”

Liu Yufei's hand shook, frowned and whispered, "I made my grandfather worry about it...... "I'm afraid that my grandfather and uncle all know about the divorce, and I take myself to the capital to attend the family banquet, probably to help me find a good marriage in the capital......

The Zhang family treats Liu Yufei very well, and even the family prepares her change of clothes and toiletries every year, so Liu Yufei is relaxed every time she goes to Zhang's house, and she doesn't need to prepare anything at all.

At this time, someone from the porter reported that Miss Lin was here, and Liu Yufei knew that it was Lin Mei without asking, but Lin Mei usually broke in directly, and it was extremely rare to be notified by her subordinates like this.

As soon as Luo Er heard that Lin Mei was here again, she couldn't help but turn pale, and muttered in a low voice, "Why is that disaster star here again!" ”

Liu Yufei knew that the two of them had never been compatible, so she asked the porter to pass Lin Mei in, and then told Luo'er to go to the back kitchen to let the little maid bring some begonia fruits and pastries, so she put down the wedding dress in her hand, for fear that Lin Mei would bring something messy to accidentally stain her wedding dress.

"Yufei, your family is here to pick you up and go to the capital?" Previously, at the gate of the county mansion, Lin Mei and Xiahou Linlang saw several carriages parked there, and there were more than a dozen servants standing around them, which seemed to be the handiwork of the Zhang family.

Liu Yufei hurriedly asked her this question as soon as she saw Lin Mei entering the house, and saw Xiahou Linlang and the burden on the two of them behind her, and couldn't help but say in surprise, "Could it be that the two of you are also going to the capital?" ”

Lin Mei nodded busily, with a sad expression, "My mother said that she would not come back in the capital for a month, Shu Wangjin also returned to the capital, and now you have to rush to the capital, Linlang and I also want to go to the capital to see, Yufei, you can give us a ride......"

Liu Yufei didn't refuse, every time the servants sent by the Zhang family would do some fist and kick kung fu, Lin Mei should not be in any danger with her, and after thinking about it, she said, "In that case, then you can follow me in a carriage, but this time is tight, and there may be some bumps in the car, but ...... Where should you two go when you two get to the capital? ”

The Zhang family is just Liu Yufei's foreign family, no matter how good she is to Liu Yufei, she doesn't have the courage to bring Lin Mei and the others to live in the Zhang family for ten days and half a month.

"Please rest assured Miss Liu about this matter, Linlang will return to Xiahou's house after arriving in the capital." Xiahou Linlang knew Liu Yufei's concerns, not to mention, after so many years, it was time for her to go back to Xiahou Mansion to take a look.
