In October of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Zhong Qing, who returned to Yangzhou again, was a little surprised by the scenes that Yangzhou presented in front of her eyes now.

The journey along the way already made her feel slightly surprised in her heart, especially when more than 8,000 people crossed the Yangtze River, Zhong Qing could clearly feel that the entire Chinese army, from Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm to the resolute soldiers, obviously felt a sense of relief.

It was no longer like when they first came out of Lin'an, and they always gave her a sense of nervousness that a great war was coming, whether it was the scouts who were scattered out, or the soldiers who were dragged to the end, everyone had a solemn expression, as if the territory of their march was not their own territory, but the territory of the enemy country, full of vigilance at all times, day and night.

And after entering the Yangzhou territory, everything became a little different, the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army were no longer as strict as they were along the way, full of tension, and even Ye Qing and Zhong Qing faintly felt a more calm and calm from them.

In Lin'an, although Ye Qing behaved very calmly, Zhong Qing could still feel that from the first moment Ye Qing returned to Lin'an to the moment he left Lin'an, Ye Qing's heart was always tight.

Zhong Qing, who has been married for many years, has never known what Ye Qing is hiding in her heart, so even if she sleeps in the same bed every night, many times Ye Qing gives Zhong Qing a feeling like a trapped beast.

After stepping into the boundary of Yangzhou, it was like a fierce beast finally returning to the mountains and forests, and there was a domineering spirit completely different from that in Lin'an.

The first day was spent in Yangzhou, which was also a rare good time for Ye Qing, Zhong Qing, Yan Chengcheng and others to get together, but this kind of beauty was only for them, and some people in Lin'an were obviously not as lucky as them.

Han Yanxuan's ambush made the courtiers who were originally co-opted by him above the court enter the prison and tremble all day long above the court.

Now, with Ye Qing leaving Lin'an, and with the new monarch Zhao Kuo succeeding to the throne, a new round of purge in the court also kicked off before the first day.

Yang Dafa, Liu Sanjie, Shen Jizu, Deng Youlong and others were successively pardoned by the new monarch Zhao Kuan under the persuasion of Shi Miyuan, and thus joined Shi Miyuan's command, and some of the officials who were not on the table at all, even Shi Miyuan was unwilling to win over the officials, exiled and dismissed, in short, in less than a month after the new monarch succeeded to the throne, the Great Song Dynasty with the new monarch succeeded to the throne, and it can be regarded as a new change.

After the Yuan Day, the Great Song Dynasty changed the year to celebrate the Yuan Dynasty, marking the slow end of an era in just a few years.

It is rare to spend more than two months in Yangzhou after a really idle day, Ye Qing set off to the north again, as most of the flower planting army has already gone north just after the Yuan Day, so this time Ye Qing's trip to the north is no longer as cumbersome as coming back from Lin'an.

In addition to the simple two hundred pro-army, and because Zhong Qing followed the north, Yan Chengcheng bought several carriages of goods, Zhong Qing wiped his tears while following the carriage to Jinan Mansion in the north.

Even in the days when she returned to Yangzhou, Zhong Qing was secretly preparing to separate from Zhong Ye almost every day, but when this day really came, Zhong Qing found that it really took a lot of courage to separate herself from her heart.

What made her even more unexpected was that this kind of separation seemed to drain all her energy, so that even when she got into the carriage, she felt as if her whole person had been emptied, and there was only thick reluctance and tears left in her body.

These days, she spends all her time with Zhong Ye as much as possible, and it is becoming more and more prosperous and even some places

Yangzhou, which is no less than Lin'an, has almost been turned around by Zhong Qing and Zhong Ye.

Especially during the Shangyuan Festival, the festive and lively atmosphere is no less than the prosperity of Lin'an, and the scenes that caught his eye made Zhong Qing surprised, but his heart was eager for time to stop like this, don't let tomorrow come too quickly.

After the group walked out of the outer city of Yangzhou, Zhong Qing couldn't help but lift the curtain after all, looking at the tall gray city wall of Yangzhou City, at this moment, it seemed that there had always been the sound of Zhong Ye crying in his ears, so that when Zhong Qing looked at the city gate, he couldn't wait to get out of the car and rush back to the city immediately, even if it was just to hug Zhong Ye again.

Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing's back, who had been depressed since yesterday, and the sadness of separation was beyond words, and sighed helplessly, at this time, he didn't know how to comfort Zhong Qing.

Even if he used Bai Chun's departure from Yangzhou as an example, what he got in exchange was Zhong Qing's blank eyes on him.

"Mother and son are connected, you are a man who has no heart and lungs, how can you understand this!" Zhong Qing watched the tall city wall of Yangzhou gradually disappear from view, and then slowly turned around and sat down in the carriage, his eyes red and scolded Ye Qing and said: "When Bai Chun left, maybe he was even more sad than me, besides, Bai Chun also took the time to go back to Lin'an for a ......." ”

"If you really miss Zhong Ye, you can come back to see him at any time, it's not very far, is it?" Ye Qing didn't know how to comfort a woman with overflowing maternal love, because he found that the more he said, the more wrong he was.

In the carriage to Jinan Mansion, the husband and wife continued Zhong Qing's sad daily parting, and at this time in Lin'an City, Xie Daoqing appeared in front of Ye Mansion's mansion again.

For Xie Daoqing, everything happened so unprepared, and he was not a little mentally prepared at all.

Yuan Qian, when she involuntarily wandered to the door of the Ye Mansion, looking at the closed tall mansion door, she didn't have the courage to knock on the door several times in a row, but at that time, she didn't feel as if she had lost something.

But when she appeared in front of the door of Yefu again with purpose on the second day, when she bit her lip lightly and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, the side door of Yefu, which was rarely opened, slowly opened a gap.

And the news in the mouth of the next person was like five thunderbolts to Xie Daoqing, and a person stood in front of the door of the Ye Mansion with a somewhat pale face, and his mind was blank.

The uncle had already left Lin'an a few days ago, but ...... But...... But why didn't he tell himself?

And when she reacted, she wanted to ask the people of the Ye Mansion about when the uncle would come back, but there was no shadow of the people in front of her, and the door of the mansion was still tightly closed, everything just now was like an illusion, so unbelievable, but so real.

For many days, Xie Daoqing was a little depressed, whether it was Xie Shenfu or her mother, Xie Daoqing would always have a trace of melancholy in his expression, and even shook his head with a touch of sadness.

Since then, the gate of the Ye Mansion has never been opened for her, whether she passed by intentionally or unintentionally, and the gate has remained the same.

On the first day, she even dreamed in a dream that the door of the Ye Mansion opened again, and the uncle walked out of the door with an easy-going smile, but when she woke up, her heart was instantly stunned.

Holding the hope that there was no hope, Xie Daoqing came to the gate of Yefu in a trance on the day of the first day, and the gate of Yefu was the same as before, but there was one more festive couplet and a new lantern, but the gate was still closed, and there was not even a carriage in front of the door, which seemed extremely deserted, even with a hint of loneliness, and the excitement of Lin'an City was like two worlds.

Xie Daoqing came here again during the Shangyuan Festival, Xie Daoqing no longer had any hope at this time, but deep in his heart, he was still ready to move again, but in the end, the result was still disappointing her, uncle...... It's gone.

Since then, Xie Daoqing would pretend to pass by Zhonghe Lane unintentionally, and then linger at the gate of the Ye Mansion for a long time, but the gate of the Ye Mansion has never been opened since a gap was opened for her that time.

Therefore, Xie Daoqing's face finally showed a relieved smile, and then the smile bloomed bigger and bigger on the white face, gradually squeezing away the haze that had been in place for many days.

Looking at the vermilion majestic gate, she finally understood why the vermilion gate had been opened when she first arrived before the first day, and why it had not been opened again.

"Uncle didn't forget me, uncle said goodbye to me." Xie Daoqing looked at the vermilion majestic gate, and took it upon himself to take the news that Ye Qing's subordinates told her that Ye Qing had gone north as Ye Qing's farewell to her.

So when he stared at the vermilion gate again this time, Xie Daoqing no longer felt that the gate was cold and impersonal, but felt that the tall gate was a little cute, and there was even an uncle smiling and waving at her.

Ye Qing beckoned the carriage to stop, and then stretched out his hand to help Zhong Qing get out of the carriage together, looking at the tall city gate of Jinan Mansion, he smiled at Zhong Qing, who had been emotionally stable for several days, with a sense of accomplishment: "How?" Did you already surprise you? ”

"This is Jinan Mansion?" Zhong Qing's eyes looked a little incredulous, along the way, she had seen a lot of mountains, rivers and desolation, the combination of arrogance and roughness, it was completely like buying into another world.

There is no more mist and rain, small bridges and flowing water, bead curtain pavilions, mournful and poignant scenery and humanity in the south of the Yangtze River, all the way up, most of what you see is barren and desolate, and the Mount Tai that is of great significance to the royal power.

Everything was no longer the concept of everything she was once familiar with, and everything had become strange to her, but there was an indescribable sense of intimacy and excitement.

"Can you see the Yellow River after Jinan Mansion?" Zhong Qing's initial sadness of leaving Yangzhou was finally swept away in the past few days, and she asked with a novel gaze looking around.

"Yes, after a while, when the weather is warmer, you can see the more magnificent Yellow River." Ye Qing smiled and said to Zhong Qing, who was as surprised as a child.

Along the way, he was scolded and complained, and naturally he didn't coax the Zhong Damei next to him, but no matter what, he didn't delay seeing the various governors in the north.

With the return to Lin'an this time, after finally solving the matter of the imperial examination, coupled with the easy solution of taxes and other matters, Ye Qing also believed at this moment that within a few years, the entire northern land would inevitably be able to undergo earth-shaking changes.

And at that time, he also believed that whether he was facing the Jin or the Mongols, or the imperial court behind him, his waist would be even more straightforward than now.

Xin Qiji hurried over from inside the city gate, and saw Ye Qing and Zhong Qing, under the escort of Jia She's personal guards, the two of them were pointing at the scenery in the distance, so they hurriedly greeted them.

"When the weather is warmer, when Zhong Ye gets used to it in Yangzhou, he will take Fang Fei over and continue to accompany you." Ye Qing didn't pay attention and mentioned Zhong Ye again, so in an instant, just as Xin Qiji saluted Ye Qing, Zhong Qing's originally excited expression became depressed again.

Hurriedly pulling Xin Qijian to greet him, listening to Xin Qiji's hearty laughter, and welcoming him back to Lin'an, Ye Qing motioned to Jia Shi to invite Zhong Qing to get in the car and enter the city, and he was willing to squeeze in a carriage with Xin Qiji.
