Chapter 80: Chu Changfeng leaves the house
He seems to ......
Make exceptions only for yourself.
It was late at night, and Xu Jiayi didn't look at Chu Changfeng's figure, feeling a little lost and a little happy. After sending Cuiyun and them out to rest, Xu Jiayi couldn't sleep when she lay on the bed by herself, tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep in a daze somehow.
The next day, at about the time of touching Yin, I heard Xiangqiao come in and whispered, "Girl, there was an emergency military situation at the border yesterday, and the emperor summoned the prince of Chu into the palace to narrate." ”
No wonder he didn't come to her yard yesterday, Xu Jiayi muttered in her heart.
If it was just this, Xiangqiao would not have come in to report it at this time.
Unless......
Xu Jiayi raised her eyes and asked, "Does the emperor want him to go back to the border pass?" ”
Xiangqiao was not surprised that Xu Jiayi guessed this, and only nodded slightly. She saw that the girl was a little depressed last night, so she specially sent someone to ask about Chu Shizi's whereabouts, only to know that Chu Shizi was called into the palace. That's why I told the porter, and if Chu Shizi came back, he would come and tell her.
Originally, there was news that the porter also had to wait for dawn before going back and forth, but the news happened suddenly, and the porter couldn't make up his mind, so he asked a maid to come in overnight to report, and Xiangqiao learned that Chu Changfeng was going to rush back to the border. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be in a hurry to come in and report at this time, "The girl is going to send a gift to Chu Shizi?" ”
Although she didn't want her girl to be too close to Chu Changfeng, but Chu Changfeng was about to go back to the border, this time she said goodbye, I was afraid that it would be difficult to meet in the future, so what she was worried about would not exist, so she naturally wanted to ask Xu Jiayi what she meant. The girl and Chu Shizi are so separated, even if they say goodbye to this past.
Xiangqiao has not experienced love yet, and her thoughts are naturally simpler.
"Leaving now?" Xu Jiayi was a little surprised and turned her eyes to look at the sky outside again, "It's not dawn yet, is it so urgent?" ”
Although she said so, Xu Jiayi had already gotten off the bed, and asked Xiangqiao to hurriedly get dressed, while asking Xiangqiao to comb a simple double bun for herself, she greased her thrush in front of the bronze mirror, and after the painting was finished, she turned slightly sideways and let Xiangqiao take a look, Xiangqiao stretched out her finger and pointed to Xu Jiayi's eyebrow on the right side, indicating that the painting here is a little shallow.
Hearing this, Xu Jiayi made up a few more strokes on the right eyebrow, and after Xiangqiao made sure that the makeup was exquisite, she hurriedly put on a coat after putting on the pearl earrings, took the knee pads that she had made a few days ago and went out. Xiang Qiao hurriedly chased after him, and as soon as he went out, he thought of something, went back to the room, took a cloak in his hand, and hurriedly chased after him.
As soon as Chu Changfeng walked out of the gate of Zhu'an Courtyard, he saw Xu Jiayi, who was wrapped in a red cloak, standing under the acacia tree outside the courtyard and looking at him. The weather was cold in the morning, and I didn't know how long Xu Jiayi had been outside, but I could see that she put her hands to her mouth from time to time to breathe, and it was cold.
For Xu Jiayi's arrival, Chu Changfeng was pleasantly surprised.
"Why are you here?" The corners of Chu Changfeng's lips unconsciously rose slightly, and he handed the things in his hand to Qi Fei, asking him to take out the things first and wait at the door, he would arrive later. Then he slowly walked in front of Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and eased her stiff face, and then said quietly, "I heard that my cousin is going back to the border gate, so I'll see you off." Are you leaving now? ”
Last night, I heard that the emperor urgently summoned Chu Changfeng to the palace, and he returned to the palace after about two hours. In addition, after cleaning up in the room for a while, Xu Jiayi came over and touched for about a quarter of an hour, and Chu Changfeng and the others had already packed up and prepared to leave the house.
On the way from Jiaxi Garden, I heard Xiangqiao that they said that there was another big incident at the border pass, and the army of the neighboring Qitian Kingdom was ready to move at the border pass, and the people between the two border countries were constantly rubbing, but I was afraid that there would be war soon. The emperor obviously also had this concern, so he asked Chu Changfeng to leave for the border pass immediately.
"Hmm."
The two walked side by side to the outside of the house, and Xiangqiao carried the lantern and walked slowly in front of Xu Jiayi, lighting the two of them. Xu Jiayi followed Chu Changfeng slowly, speechless all the way. After a long time, Xu Jiayi paused, "Uncle Cousin, after you go back this time, will you come back to Yanjing City again?" ”
"If there is nothing important, it should not be."
Xu Jiayi raised her eyes and looked at Chu Changfeng in a daze, and asked carefully, "Then will we not see each other again in the future?" ”
Chu Changfeng turned his gaze away and didn't dare to look directly into Xu Jiayi's eyes, only feeling that his heart ached the moment he heard this, and he responded vaguely.
The two were speechless again.
Seeing that she was about to pass the Hanging Flower Gate, Xu Jiayi was entangled for a while, and finally handed over the things in her hand, "Uncle Cousin, you are leaving, and I have nothing to give you, this is the knee pad I just made two days ago, and I don't know if you can use it, Uncle Cousin." ”
"Thanks, it will definitely work." Chu Changfeng raised his hand to take the knee pad, and saw that the knee pad was fine, comfortable and smooth, it could be seen that he had put a lot of thought into it, and his eyes flashed slightly moved.
Raising his eyes and seeing that she wanted to stop talking to herself, Chu Changfeng didn't ask, but just looked at her expression and felt a little soft-hearted.
Chu Changfeng reached out and rubbed Xu Jiayi's head a little helplessly, messing up her combed hair. Xu Jiayi dodged a little unhappily, raised her hand and said while arranging her hair, "Uncle Cousin, can you stop rubbing my hair all the time, your hair is messed up." ”
"If it's messy, just comb it again." Chu Changfeng waved his hand nonchalantly, "Even if I don't do it, your hair will be messed up." ”
What a fallacy this is.
Xu Jiayi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, wanting to argue with her, thinking that he was about to leave, her mood was low again. That's it, he's leaving, and that's it.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Qi Fei was already waiting outside with two horses. They had to travel back to the border in a hurry, and naturally it was impossible for them to take a carriage, but they had to hurry up and travel day and night.
Xu Jiayi was a little surprised, a year ago, she was attacked on the outskirts of the city, and Qi Fei sent her back The horse is still in the house, and she originally thought that one day she could return to its original owner, but she didn't expect it......
Several people paused, Chu Changfeng looked sideways at Xu Jiayi who was following him, and saw her sleepily covering her mouth and yawning, and her heart softened.
"You're still sleepy when you wake up so early, aren't you? Go back and get some more sleep to catch up on sleep. Suddenly, I didn't say a word to my sister and brother-in-law, so you have to say goodbye to them for me. After Chu Changfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Xu Jiayi to go back, "Xiangqiao, send your girl back." ”
When Xiang Qiao heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes and bent his knees and blessed his body, "Yes." ”
"Uncle Cousin, be careful on the road, remember to write often when you arrive, and the eldest aunt of the province is worried." Xu Jiayi bowed slightly, thinking that she would go back after watching Chu Changfeng and them leave, so she said, "You go first, I'll go back after watching you leave." ”
"I watched you go back and go." Maybe you won't feel sad if you don't see you leave with your own eyes, Chu Changfeng thought to himself. In fact, he wanted to look at Xu Jiayi twice.
Xu Jiayi saw that she couldn't resist Chu Changfeng, so she wanted to follow his wishes. Nodding his head, he was about to turn around and walk back, but he heard a voice behind him.
"One by one!"
Chu Changfeng snorted lightly, wanting to reach out to grab Xu Jiayi, but as soon as he touched her fingertips, the outstretched hand paused in the air and slammed it back.
Xu Jiayi subconsciously turned around and met Chu Changfeng's deep eyes. Before he had time to take a closer look at the affection, Chu Changfeng had already returned to normal, and when he saw her turn around, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at her, "It's nothing, you go back." ”
Xu Jiayi bowed slightly, turned around and left.
Chu Changfeng looked at Xu Jiayi's back as he left, and said in a low voice, "I know it's impossible, so why bother asking again." ”
"Shizi, it's time for us to go."
Chu Changfeng finally took a deep look at the door plaque of Shangshu Mansion, nodded, turned around and turned over on his horse, and rode forward, "Go!" ”
In the blink of an eye, all that was left was the dust raised by the horse's hooves, and the figure that was fading away.
Xu Jiayi, who was supposed to leave, stood at the door of Shangshu Mansion and quietly looked at the direction Chu Changfeng left, and only after a long time did she turn around and return to Jiaxi Garden with Xiangqiao.
got up early in the morning, Xu Jiayi was indeed a little sleepy at this time, but she didn't have this idea when she went back to bed and fell asleep. So he asked Xiangqiao to go to Zhang Luo to deliver breakfast first, and after breakfast, he re-combed his hair, and saw that the hour was almost up, so he went to the main house and told the Zhao family and others the news of Chu Changfeng's departure.
After hearing this, Zhao complained to Chu Changfeng helplessly, although he was complaining about him, his words were full of intimacy, and Xu Jiayi, who was listening to it, couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.
Zhao's side eyes looked at Xu Jiayi smiling at herself, no matter how much she complained in her heart, she disappeared, raised her hand and pinched her cheek, "You got up early today, why don't you sleep in the room for a while." Just ask the maids below to report this matter, why bother you to go yourself. ”
"I'm not sleepy, so I want to come and talk to my aunt." Xu Jiayi saved her cheeks from Zhao's clutches and asked about the follow-up of the ready-to-wear shop in Sweetwater Lane.
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao's face became a little lighter. She didn't dare to use this kind of person who betrayed the owner and did a lot of evil, so she naturally dismissed the shopkeeper of Zhao from the position of shopkeeper, and then asked him to return all the money he had embezzled over the years. At the beginning, the shopkeeper was still full of words, and he said that he was dedicated to the owner, innocent and never corrupted, and he was not afraid to flash his tongue.
Mama Zhao personally went over and knocked on it, and after taking out the deed of sale of the shopkeeper Zhao, the man immediately changed his attitude and expressed his willingness to return all the silver, only asking Zhao to repay his deed of sale for the sake of his lack of merit and hard work for so many years.
