374. Trivial and ordinary days
Yang Zi didn't expect that the day when she would return to Mizhen would come so soon, and she thought that she would have to eat hard for a while to meet the standard of "white and fat" in Baili Qingcang.
Yang Zi is still dressed as a man, and so is Ling Pianpian, accompanied by Ling Hongfei, who has just returned to Beichen.
Standing with Ling Pianpian and Ling Hongfei, who are always dressed in white, Yang Zi, who is also dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes, is particularly inconspicuous. And although Ling Hongfei's brother and sister are the children of the prime minister, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, and no one will think that the one who is with their brother and sister is today's "Concubine Mu".
Huabei and Shunan returned to the palace a day earlier, and Shunan was still dressed as Yang Zi. Externally, of course, "Concubine Mu" is in better health and can return to the palace.
"I will let Hongfei and Pian Pian protect you all the time, if it doesn't go well, I'll come back after the Spring Festival." Before leaving, Baili Qingcang said in Yang Zi's ear.
Yang Zi didn't nod or shake his head. Baili Qingcang may have thought that she would thank him for not letting her enter the palace for the New Year, but she just smiled at Baili Qingcang.
The thought of coming back still didn't make her feel better.
She couldn't tell whether she was rejecting Baili Qingcang or rejecting a restrained life.
Anyway, let's leave first, and for the rest, let's take one step at a time!
Without saying anything all the way, Yang Zi returned to Mizhen, which was already approaching the Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival, it is the time when Mizhen has the least number of outsiders, and many inns and restaurants are closed and will not reopen until before the Lantern Festival. But there are also those that are open as usual, for example, Ping An Inn.
Yang Zi is no stranger to Ping'an Inn, when he and his grandmother came to see Yan'er and Yu'er, it was here, before being brought to Beichen by Ling Pianpian, he also stayed here.
She lived. It's still the same room that looks like everyone's boudoir.
In the past, Yang Zi never thought much about it, but this time, her heart moved slightly.
Looking at the appearance of Ling Hongfei's brother and sister and the innkeeper's junior second who are very familiar, you know that this is the place where they often stay. It's just that I don't know, the shopkeeper of this inn is a person from the rivers and lakes. Or is it a person who is a hundred miles away?
Of course, it was just a blink of an eye, and Yang Zi didn't want this inconsequential matter to occupy her mind too much. Imagination is also born from the heart, and her heart is not free, and her imagination is also limited.
But she still thought of the "Qing Mansion", which was the house in Mizhen.
"Why don't you live in the Qing Mansion?" Yang Zi asked.
"It's not safe there, it's been sold." Ling Pianpian returned.
Yang Zi was silent, for Baili Qingcang, selling a house that had been exposed was just a trivial matter, but there. But there are also countless memories of her.
Her little tricks, her little calculations, and all kinds of little lies she told in order to make money, are very interesting to recall now.
She suddenly suspected that she was old, or that her happy life was over, otherwise how could she like to reminisce more and more?
"Then let's stay here for now! Sister Pianpian, please help me inquire about Xia Dongyun's situation as soon as possible. Yang Zi said.
Since I came back to see Pei Yifan and Xia Dongyun. It was a hundred miles to cross the clear road, of course, let Ling Hongfei's brothers and sisters do their part. As for the people of the "Night Butterfly". She'd better be careful not to contact her.
Ling Pianpian agreed to leave, and soon brought news to Yang Zi.
Xia Dongyun has been living in his mother's house and refuses to go home. Her original personal girl, Chun'er, would occasionally go to Mizhen with Lu Xiaoyu to see her. After Ling Pianpian finished speaking, she thought about it and reminded her again. If the girl wants to see her. I'm afraid I'll reveal my identity. ”
"Sister Pianpian, did Brother Qingcang tell you the purpose of my return to Mizhen?" Yang Zi then thought that it was necessary for him to communicate with Ling Pianpian.
"Your Majesty has ordered, everything is arranged by the girl." Ling Pianpian replied very cautiously. "It's just that I don't reveal my identity. Try not to expose it, if there is no way, let the girl decide. ”
Yang Zi nodded, thinking to himself.
Xia Dongyun knew that she had not entered the palace, so she appeared in front of Xia Dongyun, Xia Dongyun would definitely not be surprised, and there would be no chain reaction. However, if Pei Yifan knew the truth, he didn't know what he would think.
I thought about it at the beginning, but Helian Yixuan looked for the little princess Mu Yanran who was kidnapped by "Night Butterfly", it can be seen that in Helian Yixuan's heart, the little princess is also an important role, if Pei Yifan also has this thought, it is really difficult to do.
After thinking about it, Yang Zi decided to pretend to be the same as when he was collecting tea in Mizhen and go to Lushui Village.
Yang Zi knew that if he didn't let Ling Hongfei's brother and sister follow, the two would not rest assured, but let them follow, the two white bodies were too conspicuous, and when he was hesitating, Ling Hongfei had already arranged the vehicle.
Yang Zi didn't ask much, and understood that the coachman was sure that Ling Hongfei knew someone.
"Just let Pian Pian follow Miss Yang, and when she arrives at the place, Pian Pian just waits in the car." Although the winter in Mizhen is much warmer than that of Beichen Beijing, it is also slightly chilly, and Ling Hongfei's smile immediately makes people feel like a spring breeze.
made Yang Zi think of Baili Qingcang again for a moment.
"Thank you, Brother Hongfei." Yang Zi smiled and thanked him.
"Forget it! It's good if you don't scold me in your heart. Ling Hongfei shook his head.
Yang Zi couldn't help but laugh out loud, this was the first time she really smiled from the bottom of her heart all the way back.
"Some people just don't know how blessed they are, and they don't know how happy they will be to see you smile like this." Ling Pianpian said suddenly.
Yang Zi was silent, in fact, she could feel it along the way. Ling Hongfei and Ling Pianpian were trying their best to make her happy, but because of Liu Tao and Mu Tingcheng, she was worried about the kite Pei Yifan and others, but she couldn't be happy.
Looking up at the sky, Yang Zi took a deep breath and cheered himself in his heart. Believe in yourself and everything will be okay eventually.
It was not too late to arrive at Lushui Village, and Yang Zi came to Aunt Lu's house first.
"Aunt Lu, do you still know me?" Yang Zi opened his mouth crisply, trying not to bring out the heaviness in his heart.
Aunt Lu raised her head, a little hesitant, but soon smiled.
"Yikes! Isn't this Miss Mo? It's been a long time since you've been here, but you're a rare guest. Seeing Yang Zi holding these pastries and other things in his hand, he hurriedly said. Come on, come on, what are you polite about. ”
"Aunt Lu, long time no see." Yang Zi also smiled and handed the pastry to Aunt Lu. "It's not that I miss you, I can't help but come and take a look. These boxes of pastries are not worth anything, they are all made by myself, for you and Aunt Liu, as well as Xia Dongyun, two boxes per family, everyone can try them. ”
"The key is not in the things, it's hard for you to have a heart." Aunt Lu said, and let Yang Zi into the house.
Yang Zi said a few words of gossip to Aunt Lu, just to ask about the situation in the village in the past few years, whether the people she knows are good or not, and whether the new shopkeeper of Pin Mingxuan still comes to the village to collect tea.
"It's coming, it's coming, but it's not as much as it used to be. Unlike you, it was only collected in our village. Aunt Lu said, but she was not very emotional.
The rest of the things are known to Yang Zi, for example, Liu Cheng is about to give birth, Chun'er married Zhang Wu and gave birth to a son, etc.
"Oranges are almost mothers!" Yang Zi deliberately exclaimed and led the topic to Xia Dongyun. "Chun'er has her own children? It's really enviable, Sister Xia and Brother Pei should also have their own children! ”
"Why! Speaking of which, these two children are really suspenseful......" Aunt Lu was about to continue, when Xiaoyu came back from outside.
Seeing Yang Zi, Xiaoyu also froze, and then called "Sister Mo".
"Sister Mo, my sister-in-law has returned to Aunt Liu's house, so I'll go and call her back. She must be happy to see you. Of course, Xiaoyu still remembers that this "Sister Mo" came to collect tea back then, and she had the best relationship with her sister-in-law.
"Good! Thank you, Xiaoyu. Yang Zi smiled, and couldn't help but think of the group of people who followed the trend back then.
When Xiaoyu went out, Yang Zi couldn't help but be curious, and then asked Aunt Lu.
"Auntie, you just said, what about Sister Xia and Brother Pei?"
"Oops, it's hard to put into words!" Aunt Lu sighed. "Later, when the orange comes, let her tell you, she knows better."
"Okay!" Yang Zi agreed.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Cheng followed Xiaoyu and came back in a hurry. Don't look at Liu Cheng's big belly, but his movements are sharp, which scares Yang Zi enough.
"Orange, can you slow down!" Yang Zi hurriedly stood up.
"It's okay, I'm about to give birth, it's good to walk more." Liu Cheng smiled, he was so happy to see Yang Zi. It's a pity that the rest of the people don't know that this person is Sister Peach, otherwise, the whole village would come.
Although Sister Momoko has only lived in the village for a few years, she has become a legend in the village.
"Mother, Xiaoyu, I have something I want to say to Sister Mo alone." Everyone exchanged a few words, and Liu Cheng took Yang Zi's hand. "Sister Mo, why don't you come to my house."
"You just say here, Xiaoyu and I will go to prepare dinner, and if you say anything today, you will leave Miss Mo to eat here." Aunt Lu understood, knowing that Liu Cheng might be talking about Xia Dongyun Pei Yifan, so she was busy.
I heard that at the beginning, but this Mo girl came up with the idea to reconcile the two, and I hope there is a way this time.
"Auntie, don't be busy, I won't eat here today, and so on, I'll go." Yang Zi was also busy talking.
She wanted to eat here, and the two at the entrance of the village didn't wait!
"How can that be! Orange, you persuade your sister Mo. Aunt Lu said.
"Mother, don't be busy, I naturally know." Liu Cheng intuitively felt that Yang Zi must have heard something when he came this time, and since he was in a hurry to leave, he must have her own reasons, and in turn persuaded Aunt Lu. "There's no need to be polite to Sister Mo, she wants to eat, and when she has a chance in the future."
"You kid, let you persuade others, and persuade me in turn." Aunt Lu smiled, but she was no longer polite to Yang Zi. "Let's go, Xiaoyu, let's go and bring you some snacks for Aunt Liu."
Yang Zi watched Aunt Lu leave, and her eyes were instantly covered with tears, this seemingly trivial and ordinary day was what she once liked and longed for the most, and now, it is getting farther and farther away from her...... (To be continued......)
