Chapter 111: Homecoming
The Lingxiang Pavilion has been very busy in recent days, packing up the bags, and dotting the future, but an idler in the Spring Court sat under the corridor with a jar of candied fruit and watched a group of little maids busy coming and going.
Miss Lin, who is an idler, is in a very good mood, and even eats two more pieces of dim sum on weekdays, and shares it very kindly with the big girls who are serving around her, trying to share her joy with them. But obviously, these people can't understand the joy of the spring court, and even think that the spring court is noisy.
Chunting was unmoved, still maintaining his good mood, and it was not until the day he set off for Xingqing that Chunting felt some sadness about parting.
There are a lot of people in the Lingxiang Pavilion, and they may follow Chunting, in addition to the four big girls around them, even only two of the second-class people came out to follow Chunting. This trip to Xingqing is more than a month, and most of them are female dependents, starting in early April, I am afraid that I will have to go to the end of June to get to Xingqing.
In fact, there are not many things in Chunting, she has lived in Lingxiang Pavilion for less than half a year, there are not a few sets of clothes, and there are not many commonly used objects and jewelry, and many things can be purchased in Xingqing. Now the situation outside is not optimistic, and there are not a few people staring at the Lin family, so it is better to keep everything simple.
While Changyan and the Qin family were still in Huaiyang, Luo Yu simply didn't do anything and finalized the wedding date. Although the marriage matter is the order of the matchmaker's parents, but Lao Lin Tou has always been unclear, and the Sun family has a weak personality, and the marriage of the Spring Court still has to be handled by Changyan and his wife.
Changyan was not in a hurry, but his sister had only been in a hurry for a short time, and the marriage couldn't run, so he naturally wanted to stay in the Spring Court for a while so that he could make up for what he owed her over the years, but he was rejected by the Qin family. Now although there is chaos outside, it can barely maintain the peace on the surface, if it drags on for another year or two, I am afraid that the war will start outside, and it will be even more difficult to send Chunting to marry at that time. It's better to set the wedding date closer, and marry Chunting to the Luo family with Luo Yu's protection, so they can rest assured.
Qin's words were in Luo Yu's arms, and what he said was not unreasonable, Chang Yan reluctantly agreed, and set the wedding date at the end of the year.
Chunting didn't have much reaction after knowing it, at least on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and Lou smiled for a long time.
Before leaving, Bai Huanru called Chunting over, retreated, left Chunting alone in the house, and took out a box of three-story mahogany boxes and handed it to Chunting.
The first two layers of the box are filled with two sets of head surfaces, and the style is not fashionable now, it should be the bottom of the box in the Bai Huanru warehouse. The bottom layer of this box contains a thick stack of silver tickets!
Chun Ting hurriedly waved his hand, "Madam, this can't be helped!" ”
In a hurry, he even shouted out the old name, which shows that Chunting is very surprised. Bai Huanru closed the box, stuffed it into Chunting's hand, and said softly: "This problem can't be changed until now, you are now my sister, and you are the second girl of the Lin family. This thing is supposed to be my makeup for you, Huaiyang is far away from Xingqing, I can't see it when you get married, so I have to give this thing to you now. ”
"Sister Bai, I can't accept this, it's too precious, if you give this to me, there will be no gossip about getting a few rooms." Chun Ting hurriedly said, "I'm going home now, and my brother and sister-in-law will naturally buy the dowry for me, so you should keep this box." ”
Bai Huanru nodded Chunting's forehead, "This money came out of my own private treasury, what do they have to say?" Besides, this is the dowry that was supposed to be purchased for you, and sooner or later it will be yours. ”
Seeing that Chunting still wanted to shirk, Bai Huanru said again: "I sent someone to Xingqing to inquire, I heard that there is an eldest sister above you, and you have not yet decided on a marriage, you are the first girl in the Lin family to marry." The Lin family is an upstart, and you have face in front of King Liang, and your dowry can be regarded as the face of the Lin family. To put it mildly, the Lin family is now beautiful, but the family background is too weak, and you are married to a prince's family, and it is not difficult for your second brother to take out this dowry, but it is not easy. ”
Therefore, most of the dowries that the Lin family can take for Chunting are just empty on the surface, and it is really not certain how many things can be implemented inside. Even if Chang Yan has the heart to compensate Chun Ting, he has to take it out.
Bai Huanru broke Chun Ting's hand and put the box in her hand, "Some things don't know until you get married, you see, no matter how much your brother-in-law loves me, but the rest of the Su family doesn't think so, how many people are watching my every move now?" They are still separated from each other, and when you marry into the Luo family, the mother-in-law above you is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what if you don't have some money in your hand? Luo Yi'an, he is a man, how can he ask the gentlemen to meddle in the affairs of the inner house, don't you say? ”
Chunting hesitated, Bai Huanru was right, Luo Yu was willing to love her and spoil her, but Mrs. Qing'an Hou didn't necessarily, and it was even very likely that she was a bad mother-in-law. When the time comes, one is the mother and the other is the wife, Luo Yu will only be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma, so some things still have to be solved by herself.
Taking advantage of Chunting's hesitation, Bai Huanru raised her voice and called Huanqing in, then turned to Chunting and said, "I will see the housekeeper lady of Zhuangzi later, so I won't keep you more." Isn't the Lingxiang Pavilion still cleaned up? Go back quickly, too. ”
Chunting was helpless, holding the mahogany box and walking all the way back to the Lingxiang Pavilion.
Mama Ding saw that Chunting came back from Bai Huanru, still holding something in her arms, and probably guessed a seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight when she took the box, and didn't ask what was inside, so she properly received it into the cage containing the items commonly used by Chunting.
Seeing that it was the beginning of April, the Lingxiang Pavilion had become empty, and Chunting was about to follow Changyan to Xingqing.
Seriously calculated, Chunting has only lived in Huaiyang for two years, but this place seems to make her more nostalgic than the capital. Too many things have happened in the past two years, changing Chunting from a cowardly girl to what she is now, the little girl looked back at the gate of the Su family's old mansion, and had mixed feelings for a while.
Holding Qiyu's hand into the carriage, Chunting no longer looked out, for fear that he would cry if he looked at it a few more times. Bai Huanru didn't come to send it, if Chunting saw her, he was afraid that he would be able to stay in Huaiyang impulsively and not leave with Changyan.
The interior of the car was comfortably furnished, and Chunting didn't want to move when he held a soft cushion. The Qin clan sat in the carriage in front of him, so the place in the carriage was quite spacious. There were Mama Ding and Bi Terrier waiting in the car, and Chun Ting didn't feel uncomfortable, but felt that he was going to vomit if he took the carriage again.
Chunting leaned against the window and heard someone knocking on the wall of the car outside, thinking that there was something wrong with Changyan, but when she opened the curtain, she saw Luo Yu riding on a horse and bending over to look at her.
Chun Ting was surprised, "Why don't you go back to Shaoling, what are you doing with me?" ”
Luo Yu smiled: "What, you don't want to see me, if you don't want to see me, I'll leave." ”
"Are you going to joke with you?" Chun Ting frowned, "I didn't say I didn't want to see you, it's just that I have been going to celebrate for a long time, and if you turn back to Shaoling, the delay will be even longer." Is it feasible to do without you on the Shaoling side? If it was feasible, she would naturally be willing to follow Luo Yu......
Of course it is not feasible, Luo Yu rubbed Chunting's head through the window, "I'll send it out of the city, and then I'll go to Shaoling." ”
Chunting was a little disappointed, and then listened to Luo Yudao: "You are preparing to marry in Xingqing, just wait for the master to marry you when the time comes!" ”
After saying this, Chun Ting's face turned red all of a sudden, and he no longer looked at the young man riding a horse outside, and suddenly pulled down the curtain he was holding.
Dengzi, prostrate!
But Chunting still began to think about what would happen after Xingqing uncontrollably, the material for the wedding dress was prepared for her by Bai Huanru, and Bai Huanru was afraid that the Lin family would not be able to come up with any good materials, so she brought the material that was originally going to be used for the wedding dress to Chunting. After arriving in Xingqing, Chunting will have to prepare for marriage, and there is no time to deal with those noble girls in Xingqing, the only one to deal with is probably her sister who has not seen her for many years and does not know whether her temper has changed.
and her mother and her third sister-in-law, who have never met......
It seems that thinking about it like this, the days to come will also make Chunting look forward to it.
The road is far away, and there is no Luo Yu by his side, and Chunting is not interested all the way. Thinking about the female dependents in the convoy, Chang Yan did not move quickly, and stopped when he found a place where he could rest, so that Chun Ting and the Qin family could have a good rest.
Chunting is probably used to bumpy on the road, although he has long been tired of sitting in the carriage, but he has nothing to do along the way. However, the Qin clan basically didn't go far away, and he was depressed halfway through, and the carriage in front of him was boiling decoction every day, and Chun Ting could smell the smell of decoction when he sat in the car and opened the curtain to ventilate.
Chang Yan was worried about Qin's body, discussed it with Chunting, and accelerated his trip to Xingqing, and arrived at the place in mid-June.
The group of people and horses can be regarded as eye-catching, although they did not cause any trouble along the way, but they were inevitably discussed when they entered the city. Xingqing is very strict in and out, and now it's not peaceful outside, since you know that you can live in peace in the city, why do you have to go out to find it?
Chun Ting looked at the tall city gate in front of him, this scene is inevitably a little familiar, the last time he came was with Luo Yu and Zhuang Lu, sitting on the ox cart that supported the shed with rags, and swayed into the city, although it was embarrassing, but that was the time when Chun Ting felt the most relaxed.
And now, Chunting sighed, I don't know if it was more timid or something else, but she was a little empty-hearted.
