When Qingshu and his party left the town, they joined the peace guard. The red fruits sent by Gufu to Yipinlou in Jinyang City this year were specially handed over to the safety guards to escort. Today is the day when the Ping An Escort Team escorts the last red fruit of the year to Yipinlou.

At the beginning of the morning of the second day, Qingshu and the others arrived at Jinyang City. The two groups of people separated, and the safety guards escorted several truckloads of red fruits to Yipinlou for delivery, while Qingshu took people to Chen's mansion.

Governor Chen's people in the official office are not in the mansion. Mrs. Chen learned that Qing Shu and his party had arrived, and although she was an elder, she came out to greet her in person. The eldest master and the sixth master were in the house, and after getting the letter, they came to receive Mr. Lu.

Mrs. Chen intended to stay in the house for one night. But Qingshu is going to enter Beijing, the road is far away, and the journey is urgent, how can he stay for a day after just walking for a day. Qing Shuyi explained, and Mrs. Chen also understood. Mrs. Chen then instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous send-off feast.

When Governor Chen returned home after receiving the news, Chen Qiaojiang immediately pounced, and his grandfather and grandfather shushed and asked for warmth. Governor Chen was shocked by his grandson's abnormality. But after all, he has been an official for many years, and he has never seen anything over the years, let alone a little trick of a child! So, he picked the other and asked, "If you have something to say, don't think that a few words of ecstasy soup can buy your grandfather." ”

The little trick was seen through, Chen Qiaojiang was only disappointed for a moment, and immediately said with a flattering face, "Grandfather, Xiaorong is going back to Beijing to visit relatives, Qingyang and Qinghao are going to follow their sister into Beijing to eat and drink, and they will be gone for a month." The grandson doesn't do it, the grandson reads and plays with them every day, they are not there, the grandson will be bored, and the grandson will not be able to read the book. Grandfather and grandson also want to go to the capital. ”

When Governor Chen heard this, he immediately said with a straight face, "No." ”

Although Chen Qiaojiang was a little stunned of his grandfather's stinky face, he felt extremely depressed when he thought that not only would he not see Qingyang and them for a month, but also that when Qingyang and them came back, he was the only one who didn't know what kind of person the capital looked like. So, he decided to entangle to the end, grind to the end, pretend to be pitiful, and keep begging, "Please, grandfather, please, grandfather, let the grandson go!" Please......"

Governor Chen still said the same thing, no. However, it is very gratifying to see that my grandson is no longer willful and angry, and he is no longer domineering. His grandson is the most beloved great-grandson of his eighty-year-old mother. With the old lady's favor and protection, Qiao Jiang, the child, has developed a willful, domineering and empty-eyed temperament since he was a child. His sixth son had the heart to correct Qiao Jiang's temperament, but the old lady wouldn't let him. He, who was a grandfather, wanted to correct Qiao Jiang's temperament, but the old lady still didn't allow it.

The old lady is coaxed and offered up and down in the house, who dares to go against the old lady? Which dared to annoy the old lady? Therefore, on the issue of Qiao Jiang's upbringing, he and his six sons are worried. Later, when he heard that Mr. Lu was sitting in the ancient mansion and teaching Gu Qingyang to read wholeheartedly, he was moved.

Although the old lady is old, she sometimes makes mistakes, but Mr. Lu's name is also known, and some things are reasonable. Therefore, as soon as he mentioned that he wanted to send Qiao Jiang to Mr. Lu as a disciple, although the old lady was reluctant, she nodded.

Nowadays, the grandson is becoming more and more sensible, and his temperament is also changing, although he does not forget to be naughty every time he comes back to visit relatives, he can always coax the old lady to be happy, and his domineering temperament has also been restrained a lot, and his knowledge is also increasing, and the people in the house do not feel a headache when they see him.

Now that Qiao Jiang wants to enter Beijing, he can't respond. The old lady hadn't seen Qiao Jiang for a long time, and she missed it very much, and she definitely hoped to see Qiao Jiang every day in the coming month. Besides, it is not so easy to go out, even if they are willing to let Qiao Jiang follow, Gu Qingshu will not agree. It's a long way to go, what if something goes wrong in the middle? Gu Qingshu was not confused, how could he dare to do such a thing?

Chen Qiaojiang naturally didn't understand the concerns of adults, and made unremitting efforts to beg Governor Chen.

Governor Chen glared, "If you dare to mess around again, your grandfather will definitely punish you heavily." Go, go and be with your great-grandmother. Then he commanded, "Come, send him to the old lady's house." ”

Chen Qiaojiang didn't make trouble like before, but just asked the little guy who stepped forward to step forward with a depressed face, and then went to his great-grandmother's side listlessly. In order to go to the capital with him, he begged his mother, father, and then his grandmother, and then his grandfather, but in the end, no one agreed to his request.

When the banquet was ready, Qing Shu and the others who were guests were invited to the table. Mr. Lu was accompanied by Governor Chen and his sons.

Qingshu, Lu Niangzi and Shengge were invited to the old lady's (Chen Qiaojiang's great-grandmother) house to have dinner with the daughters of the old and young generations in the Chen Mansion. In the room, three tables were full. The old lady is probably also a lively person, and she is happy from beginning to end after eating a meal.

Qingyang and them had lunch with the grandchildren of Chen Qiaojiang's generation.

After the luncheon was over, Qingshu and the others rested for about two quarters of an hour, and then proposed to leave. Before dark, they were going to rush to the next town to settle down and stay, and the people of the Chen Mansion did not keep them anymore. At this time, a housekeeper beside Mrs. Chen stepped forward with a delicate box.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Qingshu, this is a congratulatory gift for the Bujia girl, please give it to the Bujia girl." "They Chen Fuben have no contact with the Bu family in the capital. Therefore, if their Chen Mansion specially sent people to Beijing to drink the wedding wine, it would inevitably make people think about it. Tong guò Qingshu, they learned about the marriage of the Bujia girl, Qingshu and the Bujia girl are friendly, and their relationship between Chen Fu and Qingshu is very close, so, Chen Fu and Bufu Tong Guò Qingshu can intersect, they let Qingshu give a congratulatory gift to the Bujia girl, which is reasonable.

Qing Shu responded and let Xiaoyu take the box. After that, she said goodbye to Chen Zhifu and the others, boarded the carriage, and set off again. What she didn't know was that not long after she left, Chen Qiaojiang quietly packed a bag on his back and prepared to sneak out of the house, wanting to catch up with them.

Fortunately, Chen Hu, who doesn't say a word on weekdays, is not a personal guard for nothing. He calculated the careful thinking of Chen Qiaojiang, the little master, and intercepted the little master just when the little master was about to slip out of the house.

For this, Chen Qiaojiang angrily shouted that he didn't want Chen Hu to be the guard. Governor Chen reprimanded him a few words, and then he quieted down, and angrily didn't even eat dinner.

Speaking of Qingshu and them, as soon as they got out of the north gate of Jinyang City, they saw Buwu riding on horseback waiting on the side of the road. Behind Bu Wu were more than a dozen knights accompanying him.

Qing Shu listened to Steward Ding's report, and immediately lifted the curtain to look out.

Bu Wu drove the horse over, "Sister Qingshu, you let the fifth brother wait." ”

Qing Shu was stunned, "Fifth brother is waiting for me?" ”

Bugo replied with a smile, "yes." Yu Yan spoke, and she must accompany her sister Qingshu back to Beijing together. The fifth brother thought that you would not leave until September, so the fifth brother stayed here for a little longer. ”

The so-called escort, naturally, refers to escorting all the way. Bu Yuyan felt that it didn't matter if her fifth brother returned to Beijing early or late, anyway, there were many people at home who arranged the marriage for her. After her fifth brother finished the errand in Jinyang City, she stayed a little longer, just in time to escort Qingshu all the way to Beijing.

left and right in time to return to Beijing before his sister got married, and Bu Wu agreed. However, he did not tell Sù Qingshu in advance, but waited silently. Today, as soon as the carriage of the ancient mansion entered Jinyang City, he received a letter. After that, Qingshu entered Chen's mansion, but the carriage and horse stopped outside. Naturally, his people reported this in time. People go in, but the carriages and horses don't go in, which means that the stay will not be too long. He guessed that Qingshu would not stay in the Chen Mansion. His packing was ready and ready to go. That's why he's pinching the time to wait here.

Qing Shu thanked him and asked, "Fifth brother can see Zhou Boyan's caravan?" "It is said that the hour of the day will meet here, but now there is no trace of the caravan. She wondered if the caravan was in trouble.

Bu Wu said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, they have something to delay temporarily." Song Quan, the leader of the Zhou Ji caravan, just sent someone over to greet me, saying that he would be coming soon, so let's wait for a while. ”

Bu Wu's words were true, and in a quarter of an hour, the Zhou Ji caravan led by Song Quan left the city. Fifty-five carts of goods, accompanied by coachmen and dart masters, totaled one hundred and sixty or seventy people. Among the 55 carts of goods, eight of them were tender buds pulled from the Zhuangzi of the ancient mansion yesterday. Because they wanted to go with Qingshu, they stopped in Jinyang City for one more day.

Song Quan stepped forward and confessed to Qingshu.

Qing Shu was naturally polite, and then the large army after the convergence of the three parties set off. In a hurry, they finally arrived in the next town before dark, and stayed at the inn.

Early in the morning of the second day, the group hurriedly had breakfast and then hurried away. At this time, Mr. Lu took his wife and children to part ways with them. Because Qingshu and they were going all the way north, and Mr. Lu was going north-east. Qingshu sent two family members and an eagle guard to escort Mr. Lu's family of three. The people were sent to the place, and the family Ding and the eagle guard went to chase Qingshu and them again.

Along the way, Qingshu didn't have to worry about the three things of food, housing and transportation at all, and the steps were all properly arranged. Originally, Zhou Boyan explained these things to Song Quan. Now that Song Quan has been robbed of an errand by Bu Wu, he can't say anything because of his identity, so he keeps a closer eye on the safety issues along the way.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Qingshu takes care of the three younger brothers who took them out. On Shen Yuehua's side, she naturally would not slack off, and from time to time she would go to the carriage that Shen Yuehua was riding alone to talk to Shen Yuehua.

That afternoon, they arrived at a small town at dawn. There were a lot of them, so they bought the largest inn in the area and a small inn next to it. Soon, everyone settled in.

Seeing that it was still early, Qingyang, who had been stuffy in the carriage for a day, proposed, "Sister, shall we take a walk around the town?" ”

Luo Xiaorong and Qing Hao listened, and hurriedly pricked up their ears, waiting for Qing Shu to say whether it was accurate or not.

Qing Shu smiled, "You wait, sister, I'll send someone to say hello to the fifth brother." ”

Qingyang asked with a happy face, "Sister, did you agree?" ”

Qing Shu blinked deliberately, "What do you say?" ”

After a while, Qing Shu covered his face with a veil and took Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong to take a casual walk around the town. It's not a big town, so there's not much to see. But for people who are stuffed in the carriage all day, it is not bad to be able to walk like this before dark, at least to move their muscles and bones.

Qing Shu sighed. Once, they left Beijing in a hurry, just to avoid disaster. Now, they are returning to the capital, just to eat and drink. In the eyes of outsiders, this trip is simply a happy meal. But in reality, she has a lot to do.

Since the opening of a wisp of incense bun shop, she, the owner, has not shown up. Fortunately, it was Bu Yuyan's second brother who helped run the shop, and in other words, he had a different heart to occupy her shop. She has to take a look at her shop, and she has to thank Second Brother Bu for his hard work to help her run the shop.

Moreover, their mansion, Gu Mansion signed a deed to rent for two years. Now that the contract has expired, the Gu family intends to continue renting, and she agreed in the letter, but the new deed has not been signed, and the rent has not been collected. She did it.

Of course, these things are not a matter and are easy to do. All she had to worry about was Hao. Zhou Boyan said in the letter that his emperor's uncle wanted to see Hao.

Suddenly, Qing Hao said, "It's not as good as our Kangxi Town here. ”

Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong listened and nodded yes.

Qing Shu came back to his senses, smiled, and didn't speak. Indeed, it is not as good as the town of Kangxi, because the whole town feels very bleak. Moreover, the clothes of the people walking on the street are mostly patches and patches, which shows that the overall living standard here is not as good as that of Kangxi Town.

Suddenly, a man squatting on the side of the road asked hesitantly, "Yes...... Young Master Gu? Immediately after, he stood up and shouted in disbelief, "It's really Young Master Gu." ”
