In the last few days before leaving Beijing, Chu Weilin only felt that she was busy every day.

In addition to Changfu and Chu Mansion, people who are familiar with each other on weekdays are rarely allowed to visit and resign, especially Chongwangfu and Du's family.

Chu Weiwan knew that they would pass through the old capital, so he wrote a letter to Mrs. Haoqi and prepared some things, asking Chu Weilin to take them back to the old capital.

At the Du family, in front of Chang Yuyun, Chang Yuxin didn't show much reluctance, only told him to be conscientious in office, don't let down the emperor's grace, but pulling Chu Weilin behind his back, Chang Yuxin couldn't help but reddened his eyes and told him carefully.

"I know that he is not the child of the past, and he is also a father, and he must be more appropriate to act than before, but no matter what, it is also my younger brother, I am reluctant, and I don't ......feel at ease" Chang Yuxin was in the blue yarn cupboard, talking to Chu Weilin in a suppressed voice, so that no one outside could hear, "Jinzhou is too far away, I know that the boy has ambitions in all directions, and I also know that more experience is beneficial and harmless to him, my mother died early, I have been worried about them since I was a child, and I am afraid that I will not take care of them thoroughly." Brother-in-law, you are a reliable person, and it will depend on you in the next few years, in case there is something inappropriate, you have to persuade him, if there is anything wrong, just write to me, although the far water can't save the near fire, but listen to your few whining words, I am still quite happy. ”

Chu Weilin's heart warmed when she heard this, and she held Chang Yuxin's hand back, she knew that only people who really care about you and cherish you will be so entangled, looking forward to Chang Yuyun making some achievements in office, and worrying about his food and clothing, etc.

"Eldest sister," Chu Weilin said with a smile. "Don't worry, I will try my best to help my lord, and I will write to you more to let you know how we are doing in Golden State. The fifth master is your own brother, you have to believe that he is a capable person, and he will definitely be able to make political achievements. ”

Chang Yuxin nodded with tears in his eyes, and kept saying: "Yes, I should happily send him out, don't let him go far away and worry about the affairs in the capital." You talk to Yu Yun. When I have time, I will go to see my ancestors more. Tell him not to be anxious. ”

Chu Weilin responded.

The two came out of the blue yarn cupboard, Chang Yuyun was talking to Chang Yuxin's husband Du Erye, seeing Chang Yuxin's eyes slightly red, they both knew what was going on. Chang Yuyun smiled lightly. The smile was full of gratitude.

The day before departure. The luggage is all ready.

Tu Shi came back and confirmed with Chu Weilin carefully to make sure that there was no missing Tuyi. That's when I was relieved.

Chu Weilin asked Liuyu to write it down carefully, there are not many people to visit along the way, in addition to relatives in the old capital, there are also acquaintances between Chu Zhengfu and Chang Hengmiao when they were in Jiangnan, and there are also official wives who are familiar with the Tu family, most of them are local families in Jiangnan, and it is good to have more contacts.

In the evening, the second room and his party went back to Songling Courtyard to have dinner and kowtow to their ancestors.

Early the next morning, the carriages and horses were packed, and the people who saw them off were sent all the way to Liuting outside the city, and then they turned around and returned to the city, and Chang Yuxiao and Chang Yuming had to escort them all the way to the ferry.

As soon as Brother Lin went out for the first time, it was when she was curious about everything, and Mother Fang lifted the corner of the curtain and asked Brother Lin to look out.

This is the willow tree, that is the tea shop, all kinds of things are the same to Brother Lin, Brother Lin listened to it ignorantly, but it did not affect his mood to watch the excitement, laughing and laughing.

Chu Weilin looked at her lively son with a smile, and looked at Chang Yuyun riding a horse on the side through the curtain of the car, her radiant appearance was eye-catching, and she even heard the voices of some bold girls on the side of the road.

Chang Jia Wulang, famous in Jinghua, Chu Weilin knew that this was not a casual talk, in her previous life, before leaving the cabinet, she didn't like to associate with people, and she had heard a lot of praise about Chang Yuyun, and she lived again in this life, before her and Chang Yuyun's marriage contract was announced, at several banquets, she heard some girls mention Chang Yuyun, and even because she was Chang Yuyun's cousin, there were people who came to inquire a few words.

In a few years, Chang Yuyun has matured a lot, and because of the opposite of the circumstances of his previous life, the influence of his mood has made him more stable and outstanding, sometimes Chu Weilin will think that the dungeon was full of stubble that year, and Chang Yuyun, who was not in the grace, seemed to be as far away as a different life.

It's really been a lifetime.

It's like now, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she can't find a trace of haggard appearance between her eyebrows.

And the time when she has been in her heart for all these years, leaving the Changfu mansion, leaving the Great Zhao family and her ancestors, can make her truly the master of the house, it has really come.

The wheels of the car ran over the official road, shaking slightly.

According to the plan, it will take eight or nine days to arrive at the ferry, but I am worried that the time is not enough, this way should be as fast as possible, and it is best to arrive in seven days.

Brother Lin looked at it for a while, a little sleepy, and fell asleep in Fang's mother's arms.

Traveling with his son, he had to hurry up, and he didn't dare to be too bumpy, and there were female dependents, so he went into the town to rest at night.

This night stayed in Anhua Town.

The post house in Anhua Town, Chu Weilin is also familiar, and warmed a glass of wine at night to warm up Chang Yuyun's brothers, Chang Yuxiao held the wine cup and sighed.

Chang Yuming bumped his elbow and said, "The third brother is for the second sister's business?" ”

Chang Yuxiao smiled bitterly: "My mother passed away, and I broke up again, and my eldest brother's spirit has not been good, if I can find my second sister, I may be able to make him a little happier." ”

Chang Yuming didn't want to splash him with cold water, but he thought in his heart, he didn't find it at the beginning, after so long, Chang Yuying might not be in Anhua Town for a long time, she made up her mind to leave, and she had a silver ticket with her, and she didn't know where she would go.

Early the next morning, the group left Anhua Town and headed southeast.

The road ahead, Chu Weilin is completely unfamiliar, she has never left so far, and occasionally looks out with Brother Lin with great interest.

Chang Yuyun laughed at her and said: "It's better to bring up a hat, and you don't have to shy away from it." ”

Chu Weilin glanced at him with disgust and turned her head. I held back my curiosity.

By the time we arrived at the pier, it was already evening.

Chu Weilin put on her hat and got out of the carriage.

At sunset, half of the sky is dyed red, and the ferry at dusk is full of people, traveling far away, seeing off, picking up goods, supervising goods, at a glance, there are people everywhere.

In the water in the distance, there are countless large and small ships, and a few berths are full. Just wait for one to be gone, and then make up for another.

This scene. Chu Weilin has never seen it, but she can only remember the duty of the female dependents to go out, and it is not good to look too blatantly, but Brother Lin doesn't need to talk about any rules. Turning his head dizzily.

The ferry port of the eunuch family is different from that of ordinary people. It's just that there are people coming and going today.

I don't know which official eunuch returned to Beijing. The ferry is surrounded by a curtain for the ladies to rest.

Changfu's ships docked, and porters carried their luggage to the ships one by one.

Li De'an's family pointed to the ships and Chu Weilin said, "Grandma." You see, we didn't have many people with us this time, and we only rented a first-class passenger ship and a cargo ship. There are three floors up and down the cargo ship, the bottom layer is piled with earth and stone ballast, and the remaining two floors are stored with luggage, earthen instruments, and rooms for the boatmen to live. The passenger ship was five floors, with two decks and three lower floors, the bottom floor was also earth and stone ballast, and the upper floor was filled with common cages, and the remaining three floors were all inhabited. ”

Chu Weilin listened and nodded, and Bao Jin smiled and said, "Mom inquired really carefully. ”

Li De'an's family was also not modest, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a chance to show off in front of grandma, and you always have to work hard." ”

Chu Weilin couldn't help laughing, and discussed with Li De'an's family: "Then according to my mother, which floor is the best to live on?" ”

"On the two decks, you can see the water view, which is actually excellent, but now it's just spring, and the weather is not warm, or the bottom of the deck is warmer. Grandma lived first, and when she got to the south and the weather was warmer, she moved to the top. "The way of Li De'an's family.

Chu Weilin sounded reasonable, and was about to say something, but Huanyi walked over quickly, saying that she was almost able to board the ship.

Chu Weilin glanced at Chang Yuyun's figure not far away, he was talking to Chang Yuxiao and Chang Yuming, Chu Weilin was about to go over with Brother Lin, and saw a maid with eyes coming over.

The maid was brightly dressed and looked lovely, and she saluted in a proper manner, and said: "The slave maid is the maid Liu He in the palace of Song Huai'an, the prefect of Yuzhou, our lord returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he has just arrived in Beijing. ”

The Changfu of the capital generally refers to this Chang family, but if the other party is cautious and says that it is the Chang Taibao Mansion, then it will definitely not be wrong again.

Liu He came from the curtain, and it can be seen that the person resting in it should be the female dependents of the Song family.

Chu Weilin nodded and responded, "The husband is Chang Jia Goro. ”

Liu He was blessed again, and said: "Chang Wu's grandmother is far away, the ferry is busy, our wife wants to ask grandma to rest her legs together, and please grandma don't excuse herself." ”

Chu Weilin glanced in the direction of the curtain, and was a little confused about the other party's intentions.

Lord Song is serving in Yuzhou, but the officialdom is prosperous, and he should know that the Changfu is not as good today as before, will he still try his best to stammer?

Chu Weilin pondered for a moment and said, "Girl, wait a minute, I'll talk to our master." ”

Chang Yuyun saw Liu He waiting there, and when he saw Chu Weilin coming over, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when she arrived at his side, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"It was said that it was the maid of Lord Song's family in the prefect of Yuzhou, and their wife invited me to rest in the curtain," Chu Weilin paused, and then said, "I can't figure out what they mean, so I came to ask what you mean." If it's suitable, I'll go there, and if it's not, I'll be able to board the boat in front of me. ”

After listening to this, Chang Yuyun looked at Chang Yuming and Chang Yuxiao.

Chang Yuming had no impression of that Lord Song at all, Chang Yuxiao also shook his head, he had never heard Chang Henghan mention it.

Chang Yuyun has heard of Lord Song's name, and I heard that he is a thoughtful person, who pays attention to his duty in everything, and his political performance has always been good.

"Since Mrs. Song is invited, Linlin, you can go, I'll go and meet Lord Song, and in two quarters of an hour, we'll board the ship." Chang Yuyun said with a smile.

After getting the letter, Chu Weilin didn't ask much, and hugged Brother Lin and followed Liu He into the curtain.

There were bursts of laughter in it, some shy, some bold, so that people listened to it and unconsciously bent the corners of their lips.

Liu He walked in quickly, and said, "Madam, Grandma Chang Wu is here." ”

Chu Weilin stopped and saluted the woman sitting on the main seat: "I just arrived at the ferry, I don't know which lady is in the curtain, I want to come over to say hello, but I'm afraid of being abrupt." ”

Mrs. Song looked about forty years old, with a round face that looked very kind, and she smiled and invited Chu Weilin to sit down: "I heard from the people below, looking at the family crest that seems to be Changfu, I asked Liu He to ask, for fear of making a mistake and making people laugh." ”

"If I had known that such a gracious lady was in the curtain, I should have been cheeky enough to say hello."

After saying polite words to each other, Mrs. Song introduced a girl beside her, and seeing that Brother Lin was cute, Mrs. Song smiled and added a greeting gift.

Miss Song said that she wanted to change her clothes and avoided going out for the time being, Chu Weilin saw this, and guessed that Mrs. Song had something to tell her, which made Miss Song avoid it.

The other party was so cautious, Chu Weilin couldn't help but sit upright, and asked Fang's mother to go out with Brother Lin first.

In the curtain, only each other's personal maids remained.

Mrs. Song asked Liu He to take out the hairpin from the jewelry box she was carrying, handed it to Chu Weilin, and said, "Have you seen this hairpin before the fifth grandmother?" ”

The golden hairpin of the tired silk butterfly, and there is a round southern pearl at the foot of the butterfly.

Chu Weilin pinched the golden hairpin with a complicated expression.

She recognized the hairpin.

This hairpin was newly punched by the Da Zhao family when he prepared a dowry for Chang Yuying, and when it was presented to Songling Courtyard, everyone said that it was good-looking, so Chang Yuying thought that it was better to change it to silver. After Chang Yuying escaped from marriage, Chu Weilin clicked the box on the dowry book, and basically left, only missing a pair of earrings, a jade bracelet, and this hairpin.

These things should have been taken away by Chang Yuying, but I don't know why, they appeared in Mrs. Song's hands.

And Mrs. Song specially invited herself to enter the mantle, and took out the hairpin to her, obviously knowing that this thing has some connection with Changfu.

But Chang Yuying can't talk about this kind of thing like escaping marriage with outsiders at will, Chu Weilin put down the hairpin and asked in a steady tone: "I don't know where Mrs. got this hairpin?" ”

Mrs. Song smiled lightly, Chu Weilin's reaction was what she expected, everyone has things that are easy to say, and Mrs. Song is not the kind of person who is chasing after the bottom of the matter, she said: "My husband is the prefect of Yuzhou, and there was a case a few years ago, it was an aunt from a Chen Yuanwai's family in Yuzhou City who ran away, and also swept away a lot of silver from the Chen family.

According to what the Chen family said, this is a very simple case, but the aunt said that what she took was not all the things of the Chen family, especially this hairpin, the craftsmanship that only the first-class gold and stone shops in the capital have, how could the Chen family take it.
