Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 45, Return with the Son
At midnight the next day (5 to 7 o'clock in the morning), Changsheng freshened up, packed his baggage, put on his newly purchased crimson cloak, and hurriedly had breakfast before preparing to leave for Beijing.
Outside the gate, there were six guards on horseback and three carriages waiting here, Steward Xie told her that the first car was ridden by the third prince, the second car was ridden by her, and the third car was filled with the items to be brought back.
Then he took Changsheng to the second carriage and told her: "Originally, the general was going to assign a girl to serve on the road, but the third prince said that the girl was already very unfamiliar with the county uncle's mansion, and it would definitely be inconvenient to go to an equally strange girl, and after you go back, I will find you a son who is familiar with the situation of the Xie family to serve, he is talking to the general in the car, it is cold outside, you sit in the car and wait, and leave immediately." ”
When Changsheng heard this, he suddenly had a little affection for the third prince who had never met before, and it was rare for a son from a wealthy background to be so careful and thoughtful, if he had the opportunity, he would have more contact along the way. He is the most familiar person after entering the mansion, if he takes care of one or two, it will be more convenient to do things.
Suddenly, I thought of the royal blue robe, hoping that he was not the third son, there was a person next to him who liked to peep, not to mention that he was still the master of the Xie family, it was not a pleasant thing.
The outside of the car is unpretentious, but inside it is comfortable and warm. There is a thick cotton curtain hanging on the door, the back half of the car is covered with a new thick cotton mattress, with cushions and quilts, and a food box is placed on one side of the front, which contains snacks and apples and pears, and on the other side there is a copper charcoal basin, the charcoal is burned red, and the charcoal basin is buckled by a copper cover with holes, and the charcoal will not spill out no matter how bumpy the car is, and the copper cover is concave in the middle, and a teapot is placed to keep it warm.
If the rich and noble people are really exquisite, and there is such enjoyment all the way, Changsheng is naturally very happy in his heart, who is so thoughtful, and also prepared snacks for her on the road?
Changsheng thought of Xie Mingche's mature and handsome face and deep gaze, his face was hot, and he secretly scolded himself for being a nymphomaniac, a dignified general, where would he pay attention to these little things? I have some inexplicable closeness to him, but it's just because he is a good father who loves his daughter very much. These things are either prepared by Steward Xie, or they are always the same when traveling in the General's Mansion.
"The girl sat down and started to catch the car!" The coachman shouted outside, Changsheng hurriedly responded, and the carriage drove forward slowly, this time he really wanted to leave his hometown to find another way, a faint sadness welled up in his heart, and he opened the curtain on the small window and looked out, although Jinyang is still far away from her hometown Dingyuan County, but for the capital, it can be regarded as a hometown.
The car turned around and turned onto the wide street, Changsheng actually saw his uncle and eldest brother standing on the side of the street staring nervously at these carriages, it turned out that they were here to see him off, but he didn't know which car he was in. My heart was suddenly sour, and I suddenly understood that the inexplicable melancholy this morning was just to face a strange environment and strange people again.
She asked the coachman to wait for a while, jumped out of the car and walked towards them, Wang Chunfa and Zhou Ansheng saw her, obviously excited, Wang Chunfa said in a trembling voice: "Changsheng, we thought that you were going to travel far away, it was unlucky to have no one of our own, I didn't expect to see you again, it's okay, it's okay, you get in the car quickly, don't let people wait for a long time!" ”
Zhou Ansheng handed over a yellow paper bag, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is your favorite cat ears when you were a child, there is a shop in Jinyang that makes it very authentic, I specially bought a pack, take it with you on the road to eat!" ”
Changsheng's eyes sighed damply, and he said a few more words, telling them to go home early and not worry about themselves, and then boarded the car and waved away. Although there are such frictions and contradictions with her relatives, there are also many touches and warmth that make her difficult to give up, and if she has the opportunity in the future, she will definitely come back.
The car drove all the way south, and the road gradually bumped, but fortunately the car was quite comfortable, Changsheng read a few pages of a book on the cushion, and was shaken to sleep in a daze.
I don't know when, half-asleep, I suddenly heard a low laugh, and opened my eyes suddenly, and in front of Huo Ran sat a young son, wearing a stone blue brocade cotton robe and a gray squirrel skin gown, wearing the same fur hat, looking at her teasing and delighted, with an unconcealed smile in his eyes, as if he was very familiar with her.
Changsheng sat up straight in shock, the carriage had stopped at some point, she stared at him vigilantly, her face was full of vigilance and shame, if it weren't for the fact that everything in the car was still the same, she would have thought that she had crossed again. Just as he was about to ask, the coachman hurriedly introduced: "Miss Zhou, this is the third son of the house." ”
The third son? Is it Xie Mingjing, the third son who returned to Beijing with her in Xie Chengzhong's mouth? Immortal intuition was somewhat familiar with him, but he couldn't remember it.
Different from Xie Mingche's calm and mature, he is a good boy in his prime, with extremely handsome and outstanding facial features, wheat-colored skin, bright and cunning eyes, and beautiful thick eyebrows that add a bit of masculinity to him.
He has a very attractive woman's appearance, but for Changsheng, who is twenty years old in fact and twenty-eight years old in psychology, he is just a cunning and willful son of a family at the age of nineteen. Changsheng was a little disappointed, such a person should not be able to give each other, and he also expected to get his help after returning to Xie Mansion, forget it, it is better to provoke less in the future.
He looked at Changsheng a little wantonly, Changsheng was a little angry by him, and wanted to ignore it, and thought that after all, he would go all the way with him, and when he arrived at the Xie Mansion, it might be useful, so it was better not to offend, so he pretended to ignore his presumptuous gaze, and said calmly, "I've seen the third prince." ”
The tone was ordinary and casual, as if he was to his family and friends, polite but not alienated, Xie Mingjing was stunned, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger: "No thanks, I just saw that there are sugar gourds for sale, it looks pretty good, thinking that girls like to eat it, I asked someone to buy it, and I came to ask the girl if she wants to eat it?" ”
Changsheng was stunned, he was so careful? It's just that although the car belongs to his family, he casually sat up and asked a strange woman if she wanted to eat snacks, which was really a bit frivolous, and he was really a willful and ignorant son.
can be his identity willing to deign to ask about these little things, Changsheng is still a little moved. Just as he was about to say thanks, a voice came from outside: "Childe! Son! Where are you, the rock sugar gourd has been bought! A little guy walked over, holding a crystal red rock sugar gourd in each hand, and as soon as he shouted "Childe", Changsheng's eyes widened, isn't this Mo'er?
