Chapter 157: Family

The rain, which had been falling gently, suddenly became heavier.

Even if the carriage was equipped with rain gear, the rain drifted in from time to time, and Duan Ziyi, the back of the farmhouse where he lived when the line arrived, decided not to go any further, avoiding this while.

The peasant family welcomed the arrival of this group very much, although it was a nobleman, and there were some shelves that made them dare not approach, but the young lady in white was very talkative, and did not embarrass them at all, and gave them a lot of silver when they left, which was enough to work day and night for more than a year.

took the initiative to take out the most haode things at home, and went to boil some hot water without waiting for instructions, and the enthusiastic appearance made Xia Hanqiu's troubles due to the rain disperse a lot.

"That's because you're generous, silver can't buy everything, but you can buy most of it."

Xia Hanqiu suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life, 'Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible', which is similar to what he said.

I don't know if my parents and brother are doing well now, I should, I'm still thinking about her.

If she could, she really wished that she would be their daughter for the rest of her life, and give them a pension to the end of her life, instead of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person who made them sad.

"That bit of silver is nothing to us, but it has a great effect on the common people, if you dig in the soil, you can't earn a tael a month, and if you work in the city, you may be able to earn a tael." Duan Ziyi pushed the tea in front of her, inadvertently touched her cold hand, and hurriedly held it in the palm of his hand, "Cold?" ”

"It's not cold, women are yin, and their vitality is insufficient, and their hands and feet are easy to be cold when the weather changes."

"Go back and let Germu show you."

Xia Hanqiu didn't object, and talked to Duan Ziyi about the guy who helped him escape from Wuyang City four years ago. "I'm afraid he'll know who I am as soon as I return to the city, and I don't know if he regrets it."

"As long as you don't get caught, there's nothing to regret, the silver you gave is enough to crush him."

In this way, it seems that as long as there is no danger to press down, nothing else is compared to the benefits of immediate energy.

It was as if a hole had been pierced, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Heaven and earth seem to be in doom.

It rained for four days in a row and it didn't stop. They were trapped in the farmhouse and could not move.

Standing in front of the door and sighing, Xia Hanqiu muttered to himself, "Compared with the rain in the past few days, the previous rains were simply funny." ”

Duan Ziyi couldn't help laughing. Knowing that Qiu'er was upset by the flood that she had inadvertently said. followed her words: "Fortunately, it doesn't rain like this every day." Otherwise, you have to go. ”

Yes, Xia Hanqiu thought so, "Why don't we go back in the rain." ”

"No, I can't. Rain gear doesn't last that long. Duan Ziyi flatly refused, although this place is a little dilapidated, at least it can still shelter from the wind and rain, if the carriage breaks down on the road, there is nowhere to hide.

Hearing the footsteps, seeing that it was Chen Chen coming, Duan Ziyi took the opportunity to change the topic, "Chen Chen is here, is there something to do with you?" ”

Following his line of sight, Xia Hanqiu raised his feet to cross the threshold to go out to greet people, but was pulled by a handful, "It will get wet." ”

At this time, Chen Chen had already walked over, and when he heard the words, he said: "It's all your own people, instead of abiding by those etiquette rules, little junior sister, it's better for you to take care of yourself not to get sick than anything else." ”

Xia Hanqiu can't say that he is used to this, and his caution and caution for more than ten years cannot be changed overnight.

He brushed his hair and smiled embarrassedly, turned around and walked inside, "Second Senior Brother, come in and talk." ”

Xia Hanqiu lived in the most haode house in the farmhouse, and under the supervision of Duan Ziyi, Ziye Zishuang cleaned up well, although it was still simple, it was much better than other places.

Chen Chen has not suffered much in life since he entered the Wuwei Sect, but he has never been a squeamish person, and he will endure it as soon as he endures it.

But he has been living, and he is a little reluctant.

"Think of a way to go back, Fourth Prince, I don't know if you have received any news, on the day we return, a large team of yours arrived at the pavilion."

Of course, Duan Ziyi received the news, and asked him why he said this with his eyes.

After the maid put the tea in front of him, Chen Chen said again: "You shouldn't have forgotten that October 12 is the day of employment." ”

"Of course, I didn't forget."

"It's not okay to be stuck here." Chen Chen didn't say that he couldn't stay here at all, he just talked about this, "You always have to prepare, even if the little junior sister also has to make some preparations?" Counting the days, there are only a few days left. ”

Now that it is the end of September, there are indeed only a few days left, Duan Ziyi glanced at Qiu'er, who was looking at him avoidably, and nodded, "I'll figure it out." ”

Zuihou, the solution that Duan Ziyi came up with was to send his subordinates out, and he didn't know where to get a large number of banana leaves, which were spread layer by layer on the roof of the carriage and fixed firmly, Duan Ziyi personally went to the carriage to try it, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that there was no rain to come in.

It's just that the speed is inevitably much slower, and I get back on the road in the morning, and I don't reach the outside of Huiting City until evening.

Jiang Tao didn't know how to negotiate, but the city gate that had been closed was actually opened again.

Xia Hanqiu didn't ask.

"It's really strange, I have lived in Wuyang for thirteen years, and when I left, I only felt relieved, I only stayed in Huiting for four years, and when I saw the city gate, I thought that I was finally back."

"What's wrong, won't Huiting be our home in the future?" Duan Ziyi answered gently, "I have been to many places since leaving the palace, that is, Nanling, and I have no sense of identity with the location of my fiefdom, and now that I hear you say that I am back, I also feel that I am back." ”

Looking at Qiu'er with a relaxed expression with a smile, Duan Ziyi's eyes were gentle, "Qiu'er, we're going home." ”

Xia Hanqiu couldn't control the joy in her heart and nodded, "Well, I'm going home." ”

The carriage drove straight into the front yard.

As soon as he got out of the carriage and didn't stand firmly, Xia Hanqiu saw Nian'er running fast, followed by Xia De, and then Duan Baiyu, who was trying to make himself look like he hadn't run.

"Sister!"

"I'm back, are you all right?"

"Okay, everything is fine at home, nothing happens." Guo Nianan was not surprised to see Zhang Jiabao coming out of another carriage, and laughed quite loudly, "I knew you still had to come." ”

Zhang Jiabao, who was still uneasy, was stunned at first when he heard this, and finally had a little smile on his little face, which was much thinner.

"The old slave greets the master."

"No courtesy." The person who hadn't come for a long time finally arrived, Duan Ziyi was in a good mood, and turned his head to introduce Qiu'er, "This is Mingde, the old man in front of my mother, I have been following me since I left the palace, Mingde, this is my fiancΓ©e, her words will be equivalent to my words in the future, everyone, there must be no disrespect." ”

"Yes, the old slave already knows from Mr. Yang." Mingde turned to Xia Hanqiu and gave a deep salute, "The old slave has seen Miss Xia. ”

"The butler is exempt." Xia Hanqiu accepted his half-salute and helped her with her hands, not supporting her at all, which made Mingde look up to her a little more at first sight.

"Okay, if you have anything to say tomorrow, Qiu'er, I'll send you back to the house first, I haven't slept well in the past few days, have a good night's rest."

"Yes." Xia Hanqiu turned around and beckoned to Jiabao, and only when Jiabao stood beside him did he say to a few small ones: "Nian'er, Bai Yu, Jiabao has not had an easy time these days, you have to take care of him." ”

"I will." This is Guo Nianan's straightforward reaction.

Duan Baiyu didn't speak, just nodded, but Xia De could see that the look on his face was a rare ease in the past few days.

Isn't that what he thinks in his heart?

The prince and his cousin are not there, this mansion is equivalent to having no master, and the little prince and cousin are without elders, it stands to reason that they should be relieved and open to play, but on the contrary, the silence in this mansion makes them feel uncomfortable, the backbone is not there, and they feel that they can't do anything.

Except for going to Wuwei Daoist every afternoon, he didn't go out half a step the rest of the time.

I don't know if my cousin would be angry if she knew that Nian'an didn't go to the school during her absence.

Guo Nianxin was also a little weak-hearted, secretly glanced at his sister, and pulled Zhang Jiabao to leave quickly.

He was glad that his sister was back, but he was worried when he thought of his lack of motivation these days, but he was always happier.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Xia Hanqiu woke up.

The familiar roof, the familiar atmosphere, the familiar quilt pattern, the familiar white dumplings on the pillow......

"Miss, are you awake?"

And familiar people.

The corners of Xia Hanqiu's eyes and eyebrows were full of soft smiles, and she picked up and rubbed her chirp, feeling that Chirp was also rubbing her back, and the smile was even worse.

"Ru Niang, why are you here, how many of them are?"

Ru Niang raised the curtains, seeing that the young lady was full of energy, and she was not in a bad mood because she went back to Zhang's house, and her heart was completely put down after hanging for many days.

"The old slaves have prepared breakfast, and they are busy outside."

Put the sleeping chirp back gently, Xia Hanqiu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and Ru Niang waited for her to freshen up.

For so many years, Ru Niang has never been away from her for so long, and she knows that Ru Niang is missing her.

Pushing the door out, the maids stood outside the door to say goodbye, all of them looked relaxed, Xia Hanqiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

It turns out that after these years, she has been relied on by so many people, so many people are happy because of her existence, happy because of her return, even if this feeling is given to her by her subordinates, she is still happy.

But soon, she knew that it wasn't just the next person.

She went to the dining room with the other person who was waiting outside, only to find out that the two of them were the last to come today.

"Sister."

The three juniors, including Duan Baiyu, greeted and saluted, Nian'er's happiness was all expressed on his face, and the young man's delicate face looked particularly bright because he was in a good mood.

Xia Hanqiu accepted the salute, asked the three of them to stand aside first, and stepped forward to greet the master, the three senior brothers and an uncle.

Wuwei was also very happy to see the little apprentice, "It's good to be back, look at your expression and know that everything is fine, sit down, if you have anything to say for breakfast, I'm hungry." ”

"Yes." (To be continued......)

PS: Some relatives are worried that I am whitewashing Qi Zhensheng, how can it be, don't you think it is the worst to ask for it?
