Cheng Ruiru looked at Rong Qi, couldn't say anything, Rong Qi lowered his eyes, then took a step back, said goodbye, and cherished it from now on. Cheng Ruiru looked at his estrangement, and also bowed his hand, just when Rong Qi was about to turn around, Cheng Ruiru finally asked: "Yanran, she, you will ......"

Intermittently unable to speak, Rong Qi looked at Cheng Ruiru, trying to make her voice the same as usual: "She is my wife, I will treat her well for the rest of my life and not deceive her." "Don't lie to her? Cheng Ruiru only felt that this sentence hit the heart, and before he could say a few more words, he had already seen Rong Qi leave, Cheng Ruiru did not catch up, his right hand hung down weakly, and from then on, he could not see it again, just a little thought, and it would never recover.

The relatives and friends who came to say goodbye gradually said goodbye, and only Yanran's mother and daughter were left in the pavilion. Yanran looked at Aunt Zheng San, Aunt Zheng's tears never dried, this daughter who was held in the palm of her hand was going to go away now, and when she met again, she didn't know how many years it was. Maybe, I can't wait for my daughter to come back, and I can do it myself, thinking about the tears in Aunt Zheng's eyes again.

Although Yanran has been the same as usual on the outside these days, she is still a little drumming in her heart, leaving her family and going to such a far place, she has to face her husband's family, which is not the same as when she was in Beijing. But Yanran looked at her tearful mother, and still reached out to put her shoulder around: "Mother, it's nothing for me to go, except for your son-in-law, isn't the eldest lady also in Yangzhou?" ”

Of course, Aunt Zheng knew that Zeng Zhixian was also in Yangzhou, but the difference between master and servant, even if Yanran was released now, it was still different from the original. Besides, often going to Zeng Zhixian, doesn't it make people talk more about Yanran's background? Yanran looked at her mother's eyes and said very solemnly: "Mother, I will be fine, don't worry, in a few years, I will take you and your father to live in Yangzhou for a while, do you think it's okay?" ”

Aunt Zheng held her daughter's hand in her hand, and then slowly let go of her fingers reluctantly, all in this grip and let go of her mother's earnest expectations. Yanran also felt that her eyes were a little wet, but only by laughing hard, only by smiling, could she let her father and mother leave with peace of mind.

Third Uncle Zheng and his son-in-law were waiting outside, and when they saw that Yanran didn't come out, Third Uncle Zheng couldn't help but sigh, and Rong Qi looked at Third Uncle Zheng: "Father-in-law, she is the wife of the son-in-law, the son-in-law, and the person who will be together for the rest of her life." ”

should rest assured, but how can you be willing to let go of your father's heart, Uncle Zheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb and patted Rong Qi's shoulder: "I know, you can go with peace of mind, there are many people here to accompany you." ”

Rong Qi should be, seeing Yanran helping Zheng Sanaunt out, Zheng Sanjiao and her daughter walked to Rong Qi, the coachman had already stepped onto the wheel, just waiting for Yanran and them to get into the car, and then whipped away. Aunt Zheng knew that she should give a few more words, but she couldn't say a thousand words stuck in her throat. I just watched Rong Qi and his wife salute themselves again, and then Yanran got into the car, the coachman whipped him, Rong Qi rode a mule behind, and the smoke and dust soon rolled on the official road, and then, even the smoke and dust could not be seen.

Aunt Zheng's tears fell again: "My daughter! Uncle Zheng looked at his wife and patted her on the shoulder: "What are you crying about?" This time, they are serious grandfathers and grandmothers, rich housewives, and the whole family counts, who has my daughter is blessed. ”

Aunt Zheng said the sentence that had been suppressed for a long time: "I don't want my daughter to be blessed, I just need her to accompany me!" ”

This sentence is also what Uncle Zheng wants to say, but he only swallows his saliva so that he can hide the tears that will come out: "What stupid thing to say, my daughter has a future, do you still want to stop her?" Besides, my son-in-law's future is good, maybe we will be able to ...... soon."

This is a plan that Uncle Zheng never said to his wife, Aunt Zheng couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then said: "Even so, our son still can't pass the imperial examination." "Not only sons, but even grandchildren can't take the imperial examination, and they have to wait until their great-grandchildren, and at that time, I don't know if I can see it.

Uncle Zheng and his wife walked to the car waiting next to them, and when they heard this, they said: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, if there was no hard work of my father and mother, how could there be us, so that from generation to generation, when we are great-grandchildren, it will be different." ”

Aunt Zheng listened to her husband's words, and gradually rose hope, there are not many things that people can do in this life, but little by little they accumulate from generation to generation, and later, isn't it completely different? Seeing his wife's smile, Uncle Zheng looked in the direction where his daughter and son-in-law left, wishing them all the best when they arrived in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou at the end of February is very beautiful, the willows on the river bank are sandwiched with the peach blossoms that are in full bloom, a tree of peach blossoms and a willow, between the peach red willows and green, you can still hear the sound of silk and bamboo from somewhere. Yanran's ship sailed into Yangzhou in such a season. Yan Ran lifted the curtain, listened carefully, and smiled at Rong Qi: "Where did this sound of silk and bamboo come from?" Strange people say that Yangzhou is different from other places. ”

After sitting on the boat for a month, Rong Qi also felt that his legs and feet were not dexterous, so he got up and moved before saying: "This is a family on both sides of the river that raises daughters, and they specially invite people to raise their daughters!" ”

As soon as the three words of the adopted daughter came out, Yanran knew what kind of people those people were, and hurriedly said: "I'm confused, you go and see who will pick it up!" Rong Qi walked out of the cabin, the ships at Yangzhou Wharf were crowded next to each other, and it would take another half a day to dock, and at this time it was just right to see who would pick it up.

Rong Qi walked up to the bow of the boat, raised his eyes to look at the shore, and before he could take a closer look, he saw someone waving to him, still shouting: "Third master, here!" Rong Qi looked like Steward Chen had brought a few servants, so he said hello to them and walked into the cabin to let Yanran get ready.

Yanran packed her things early this morning, and her luggage was clear, so as soon as the boat arrived, she smiled when she saw her husband re-enter and instruct: "It's already ready, what else do you say?" But the hometown is timid? ”

This is just a witty remark, Rong Qi's hometown is in the capital instead of Yangzhou, but Rong Qi pressed his chest with his hand: "Yes, at this moment, my heart is still pounding." Why didn't Yan Ran understand why he said this, and reached out to pull his hand: "Didn't we say it was okay along the way?" As long as you do things with a good conscience, it is. As for others, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what are they afraid of doing? It's not us who do bad things. ”

Rong Qi likes to see Yanran's little face the most, and the expression of saying these truths there, smiled and clenched her hand: "Yes, I'm not worried, Yanran, it's good to marry you!" Yan Ran couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "What's the matter, Fang Cai's heart is pounding, isn't he worried that my background will be talked about?" ”

"The mouth grows on others, and if you like to say anything, you don't have to pay attention to them," seeing her husband say what she said, Yanran couldn't help but smile again, in fact, it is impossible to say that you are not worried, after all, this is a completely strange place, but as long as the husband and wife are united, what is there to worry about?

Yanran looked at the hands she and her husband were clasping, and the smile on her face gradually grew. Rong Qi felt his wife's wholehearted trust and held her hand tighter. The boat finally approached the dock, Steward Chen had already stepped onto the boat to pick up people, Rong Qi went out of the cabin first, the boat was small, Steward Chen just bowed, said a few words, and let the sedan chair get on the boat and ask Yanran to get on the sedan chair.

Yanran sat in the sedan chair and put down the sedan curtain, her heart still couldn't help but start beating wildly, this is different from when she was in the capital, she was going to see her at this time, but the people of the Rong family, in the future, for a long time, will live with them.

Yanran felt that the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair and walked down, and she could also hear the maid following her, and felt that she was about to come to the street, so she lifted the sedan curtain and whispered to the maid who followed her: "Are those gifts ready?" ”

"It's ready, didn't you just order it this morning, grandma?" Although the maid felt strange, she still replied. Yan Ran was slightly surprised when she heard the maid's words, after all, she was so nervous, not much like her usual life. However, this is a completely different day from a normal day. Yanran put down the sedan curtain and began to practice in her heart over and over again, how to greet and talk when she saw the people of the Rong family.

After a few times of this drill, I heard the sound of the sedan chair falling to the ground, followed by a gentle voice: "Third aunt, when you get home, please get off the sedan chair quickly." Then the housekeeper lifted the sedan curtain, Yanran walked down the sedan chair with the maid's hand, and saw a woman in her twenties standing next to the sedan chair, with a few maids behind her, the woman saw Yanran walk out of the sedan chair and spoke again: "Hello third aunt, this road has been hard!" ”

Yan Ran commented on this woman, seeing that she was dressed and called herself, I was afraid that this was Uncle Rong's wife Qiu, I heard that she was the daughter of a shopkeeper of the Rong family, because she was born well, and her tutor was good, she was favored by Master Rong and became Uncle Rong's wife.

Sure enough, the housekeeper lady who lifted the sedan curtain had already said: "Third grandmother, this is the big grandmother!" Yanran saluted Qiu's family: "Sister-in-law An! ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly helped Yanran up: "My family, what are you doing so politely, hurry up and go inside, the family is waiting!" Rong Qi also turned up and saluted Qiu, Qiu held Yanran in his hand, and smiled at Rong Qi: "Sure enough, the third uncle is blessed, these three aunts are really rare beauties!" ”

"Beauty, born in Yangzhou City, who hasn't seen a few beauties? The important thing is that people are good! I think they have been waiting outside for a long time, and some people can't wait, so they have come out and stood at the door of the hall and smiled.

Yan Ran saw that the woman who spoke was twenty-one or two, her face was ordinary, only those eyes were very shrewd, and at this moment her lips seemed to be smiling, and a pair of eyes were only looking at Yan Ran. Thinking that she was Rong's second grandmother Zhou, Yanran hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Zhou: "I've seen the second sister-in-law!" ”
