413: Worried Yunli
Although there are occasional exaggerated elements in his words, it does not prevent everyone from listening to them.
Even Ying Qiong also talked about some interesting stories when he led the army in his early years.
Although he will habitually lead to some major principles of life and share his life insights with a few juniors, fortunately, the juniors are very knowledgeable and appreciative, not boring, and show a very useful appearance, which makes General Ying feel very gratified.
Under the influence of this happy atmosphere, Jiang Ying couldn't help but pick up a glass of wine and clink glasses with everyone.
Because he knew that his alcohol was not good, and Jin Qi was watching over him, he didn't dare to eat more, only tasted a few bites of freshness, and honestly put down the wine cup.
It was Hua Changjing, cup after cup, after saluting this and that, her heroic and unchanging appearance made Jiang Ying, who was watching from the sidelines, envious.
But after the meal, it wasn't like this.
Hua Changjing, who was drunk, began to get dizzy, occasionally saying a sentence or two of nonsense, and she couldn't stand steadily.
Fortunately, Ah Ju came in time, and together with Shi Qing, he helped people back.
After sending the person back to the tent and wiping his face with a wet towel, Shi Qing immediately instructed Ah Ju to boil hangover soup.
"I just persuaded you not to listen, wine is a small drink and a big thing, but you are like a draught, cup after cup of water, now you know that you have a headache, do you still think you are a chivalrous woman who is not drunk with a thousand cups?" Looking at Hua Changjing, who was placed on the mat bed in the inner room, leaning on the big pillow behind him, frowning and rubbing his temples with his fingers. Shi Qing blamed helplessly and distressedly.
"Hehe...... Hua Changjing went against the norm in the day, his drunken appearance looked a little stupid, and after laughing twice, he said, "I'm happy today." ”
Shi Qing saw that her face was burning red, and while wiping her face with a towel that had been twisted in cold water, she smiled helplessly: "What are you happy about?" Going back to Beijing? ”
"Not really." Hua Changjing suddenly grabbed Shi Qing's wrist, stared straight at her with a pair of drunken eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "You are getting closer and closer to what you want, I feel happy for you." ”
Shi Qing's movements froze. Suddenly. I couldn't help but feel a touch in my eyes.
He smiled and said, "yes, it's getting closer." ”
Because from the beginning, he made the right choice.
Go the right way. Nature is getting closer and closer.
……
Ah Ju boiled a large pot of decanting soup. After sending my lady's bowl. A few more bowls were packed and sent to the Jinqi tent for a few people who were still talking together after the meal.
Yingqiong Song Yuanju and Jin Qi. They each ate a bowl, and Jiang Ying, who was clearly not drunk, also honestly poured most of the bowl of hangover soup under the pressure of Jin Qi.
Immediately afterwards, he was driven back to the camp to rest.
There is no need to stay to clean up the mess on the table, Jiang Yingle relaxed, and softly explained that Jin Qi should rest earlier, and saluted Yingqiong, and then left the big tent with Ah Ju.
The night breeze outside is cool and comfortable.
"Sister Hua is okay? Is it serious to be drunk? Jiang Ying asked Ah Ju.
"It's not too serious, at first I said two words of nonsense, but after eating the sobering soup, it was much quieter, and when I came over, I saw that I was already sleepy, and my uncle was watching from the side, so I must have fallen asleep at this time."
Jiang Ying nodded, and said again, "I can't let her drink like this in the future, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it is not as important as the body." ”
"That's what the girl said." Ah Ju nodded with a smile on her face.
The two walked side by side for a while, and Ah Ju suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, girl, Yunli's matter, I asked her a few words at dinner in the evening, she was reluctant to say it at first, but then I asked me tightly, so she told me the reason for her depression recently-" Ah Ju said this, looking quite sympathetic.
Jiang Ying was stunned when she saw this, and asked, "What did she tell you?" ”
Ah Ju sighed first, and then retold the general content of her conversation with Yun Li to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying listened to it, and was stunned for a while.
Then came some thought.
"I'll go with you to see Sister Hua." She said to Ah Ju.
By the way, ask Shi Qing about some things about Yunli.
……
Yunli, who was surrounded in a camp tent in the middle of the west camp, waiting for Jiang Ying's return, leaned against the screen, looking at Xiaohong, who was rummaging in the inner room.
Tomorrow morning will be on the road, and Xiaohong also has her own things to pack.
These include a slingshot given to her by Apu, as well as things like beaded handkerchiefs and small purses that Jiang Ying gave on weekdays.
"Be careful, don't break the girl's things." Yunli reminded from time to time.
Xiaohong didn't know if she heard it or not, and still rummaged through it by herself.
Yunli sighed heavily, stopped staring at her, and turned to walk outside.
As soon as he had taken two steps, he heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of the tent being opened.
"The girl is back!"
Seeing the lilac-colored skirt corners, Yunli hurriedly greeted her.
"Hmm." Jiang Ying walked in and smiled at her.
There were several lights lit outside, which were very bright, so Jiang Ying could easily see the sad look between Yun Li's eyebrows, and if she looked closely, she was a little reluctant.
Jiang Ying wanted to take the opportunity to tease her, but it was late, and she had to get up early tomorrow to go on the road, and she was tired and hadn't washed yet, so she dispelled this idea.
was about to speak, but saw Xiaohong rushing out from the inside, carrying a small burden in her hand, approaching her, grinning, as if asking for credit: "Pack it up!" ”
Jiang Ying smiled and touched her head, nodded, then turned to look at Yun Li again, and asked, "I'm going to leave tomorrow at dawn, but I'm done packing up my things?" ”
"Except for the dress that the girl will wear tomorrow morning, and what she needs, the slaves and maids have already packed up."
Jiang Ying listened and asked, "What about your own?" ”
Yunli was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't been able to react.
A moment later. Suddenly!
"Girl......"
She looked up at Jiang Ying in a daze, and the expression in her eyes fluctuated very much, with joy and disbelief.
"The girl is going to ...... Do you want to bring your slaves and maids back to Beijing? She nervously confirmed, for fear that she had misunderstood what Jiang Ying meant.
"The entire barracks will leave in turn early tomorrow morning, and things will be packed up after all."
Jiang Ying's words made Yun Li's heart sink suddenly, but before she could feel the loss, she heard Jiang Ying say again: "If you want, you will join me." If you don't want to. I'll let Shi Qing send you back. What's going on in your mind? ”
Although Ah Ju said that Yunli didn't know how to arrange her. That's why she was nervous, but Jiang Ying still thought that she had to follow her own wishes.
She just asked Shi Qingyunli about the origin, but it turned out that her parents died early and she was sold to a big family as a maid since she was a child. is criticized in every way on weekdays. Later, he was taken by the male owner of the house. wanted to accept her as a concubine, but she refused to obey and annoyed the man. The hostess took advantage of her husband's absence to accuse her of unclean hands and feet, and whipped her and threw her out of the house.
When he was dying, he was rescued by Shi Qing who happened to pass by and Mr. Lingxi, the owner of Lingxi Garden, and he was raised in Lingxi Xiaoyuan for more than two months before he recovered.
Later, because Jiang Ying was injured and needed personal care around her, Shi Qing consulted her and brought people to the barracks.
Indeed, he is a wretched man with a miserable life.
"Slave maid...... The slave is naturally willing! Hearing Jiang Ying's words, Yun Li's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and she lifted her skirt slightly and knelt straight down at Jiang Ying, choking and saying, "The girl treats the slave like a relative, and she never reprimands her harshly...... If the girl doesn't dislike it, the slave is willing to follow the girl for the rest of her life! ”
She has no relatives and no reason, and her hands are not as good as those girls in Lingxi Xiaoyuan, all of them are good at music and art, is it possible that she wants to eat and drink there for nothing all the time?
Not to mention what others think, just talking about herself, she would never want to live like that.
In the past few days, what she has been thinking about is how to tell Jiang Ying about this, but she is afraid that it will be too abrupt and make Jiang Ying embarrassed.
But now it's good!
The girl actually took the initiative to talk to her about it, and respected her wishes so much, and let her choose for herself!
"What are you kneeling down for?" Jiang Ying couldn't bear this set the most, and hurriedly helped the person up, and said: "Since you are willing to return to Beijing with me, I will not treat you badly." But...... I haven't hired a maid before, I don't know what the monthly money is, and when I go back to Beijing, I'll inquire, and then I'll agree with you? In the meantime, if you need silver, speak to me. ”
Yun Li said these words as both an accident and a desire to laugh.
"What are you talking about, girl? The slave and maid are willing to serve the girl because the girl treats the slave and the maid well. As long as the girl gives the slave and maid a mouthful of food, so that the slave and maid have the strength to serve the girl! ”
Her words were from the bottom of her heart, not to please her, Jiang Ying could naturally see that she didn't dare to take it seriously, but she still insisted: "Love is love, but there are still rules." ”
Then without waiting for Yunli to say no more, he urged: "Hurry up and pack your things-"
When Yun Li heard this, she could only agree, and wiped the tears on her face while taking her sleeves, and happily packed up her things.
She didn't have many things, only two changes of clothes and some trivial things from her daughter's house, and a burden was all packed.
The movements were neatly cleaned up, and she was busy waiting for Jiang Ying to wash, but she saw that Jiang Ying had already changed into her middle clothes and was sitting in front of the mirror, and Xiaohong 'forcibly' took a towel for her to twist her wet hair.
Seeing this, Yun Li hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and looked at the hair loss on the towel in shock, and glanced at Xiaohong with disgust, Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and stepped aside, but Jiang Ying smiled and said, "It's just a few hairs, don't tighten it." ”
But that's not what she said, Xiaohong was playful, but the girl couldn't help but be cautious...... You can't let her mess around next time. ”
Listening to her nagging in her ear, Jiang Ying responded with a smile while she gently curled her hair.
After everything was cleaned up, it was already past the second watch.
Yunli urged Jiang Ying to get on the bed, turned off the lights and lowered the curtain, and took Xiaohong to rest outside.
The three masters and servants have no dreams all night.
……
The next morning, without Yun Li shouting, Jiang Ying woke up on time.
After she was dressed and washed, Yunli put away all the belongings and divided them into boxes that were commonly used and those that were not commonly used on the road, so that they could be placed up and down when she got into the carriage later, so that they could be easily accessed when the time came.
And Rao is departure is imminent, but Jin Qi is still the same as usual, he came to Jiang Ying's tent to have breakfast with her, it can really be said to be rain or shine.
At this time, Song Yuanju had already led a team of men and horses to move and walk ahead to open the way.
Jiang Ying finished breakfast here, and before she stopped for long, a carriage drove to the front of the tent-
Although the appearance of the carriage looks ordinary, the interior is extremely comfortable, divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside, there is also a soft couch for resting, and a small stove for boiling water, tea sets and towels are very well prepared.
You don't have to think about it too much, you can guess what it must be Jinqi.
In this way, her original concerns did not exist - she originally planned to go with Hua Changjing's caravan as when she came, and the left and right were also a matter of front and back, although the journey during the day was one after the other, but it was not impossible to meet at night or stay in the post house, but as soon as she said this idea, she was vetoed by Jin Qi, only saying that the road was difficult and dangerous, and it was safe to follow the army.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Jiang Ying didn't say anything against it, but she still had some worries in her heart, afraid that there would be inconvenient places on the road.
But now seeing the arrangement of this carriage alone, it can be refined and considerate like this, and naturally let go of a heart completely.
Yun Li saw it in his eyes, although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
The second son of Jin has never relied on his mouth to reflect his intentions for the girl, but he has never deliberately concealed his behavior.
is so 'public', it must be to talk about marriage, right?
Doesn't it mean that since ancient times, the sons of the scholar clan have not been able to marry commoners?
Could it be that his own girl wants to be committed to being a concubine?
Thinking of the situation of the few concubines in the family where she was before, and then thinking about the kind of life that her own girl might have to live in the future, Yun Li's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
But when I looked at my own girl, she looked carefree, as if she had never considered this.
What a big-hearted master.
Yunli's mind turned a thousand times, and while sighing deeply, he didn't know that he had unlocked a new trait, called the blind old mother.
