Chapter Fifty-Three: The Journey

Since Bai Huanru became pregnant, several big girls around her have become more cautious than before, and even added a few more cushions to the carriage, trying their best to make Bai Huanru feel more comfortable.

The time had come when they could not delay any longer, and they had stayed in the city for just over three days, and there were more than twice as many displaced people in the city as they had when they had entered the city.

Most of these homeless people came from the north, poorly clothed and hungry, and looking out of the inn window, you could see that there were homeless people on the street who did not fit in with the city, and there was not even a place to live temporarily, so they had to sleep on the streets.

Chun Ting's eyes often get wet when she looks at it, she has also been embarrassed like these homeless people, staggering out of the deep mountains, only a few dry buns on her body, in the cold winter, she wants to find a place to shelter from the wind. When she finally walked to a place where she could see hope, reality gave her another blow to the head.

The child led by the mother on the side of the street was drooling as he looked at the noodle stall opposite, and someone rode by on the street, and the mother hurriedly took the child in her arms, and even the dust and smoke raised were blocked behind her.

Chunting looked away, no longer looked at the scene on the street, turned back to her room, and was about to leave, she didn't have so much time to lament the impermanence of the world here.

Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon carefully mixed Bai Huanru, who had already put on the hat, and went downstairs, the carriage had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, Bai Huanru stepped on a small stool and got into the car, Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon also followed, and Chunting and Qiu Zhi had already gotten into the carriage behind.

The carriage of the Su family looks extremely simple from the outside, and from the outside it looks no different from ordinary people's carriages, but the interior is finely arranged, and Bai Huanru is now pregnant, Su Hanran has made a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is luxurious just by looking at the inner box.

Chunting thought that a few little maids were crowded in the carriage behind her was really aggrieved, if she didn't follow Bai Huanru's side, she recruited two of them to come to her carriage, and when she was in Su Mansion before, she was by her side, and it was rare to have someone younger than Chunting, so she would naturally take care of it more.

Qiu Zhi has no opinion, if she can still drag a few small words when she is awake, it should be a relief from boredom, why not.

Shumu slowed down, and before he got one foot on the carriage, the convoy was already slowly moving forward. Chun Ting hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the book, and was relieved to see the little girl standing firmly on the car.

The raised curtain fell again, taking advantage of this gap Chunting hurriedly glanced out, the mother and son were still standing in place, the child pointed to the opposite noodle stall and cried, the mother lowered her head and coaxed softly, raised her hand to pin the wind-blown black hair behind her ears, and stroked the child's movements were also extremely gentle, thinking that she was a gentle woman.

Blocked from sight, Chun Ting turned his head, looked at the scholar he had just sat on, and asked a few words with a smile, but he didn't touch it.

The carriage staggered forward, and Aki Zhi quickly fell asleep, and Shumu and the painting screen were still awake, but they were also silent. There's really nothing to talk about along the way, it's just that which city is ahead, and how many days will it be.

Chun Ting also leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes, but she still replayed the scene she had just seen in her mind, she couldn't hear it too far away, but the woman's demeanor gradually overlapped with the way Sun spoke to her in the depths of her memory, and her mother's soft words seemed to be in her ears.

"Five girls, you don't have to listen to your Aunt Zhang, they chew the root of their tongues, my mother left you a piece of rice cake, don't let your third sister see it, go eat it."

Suddenly, four years have passed, and in the past four years, except for the pair of bracelets that her mother stuffed into her before leaving, there is not even an object that can make her feel anxious.

There are gains and losses, and there can be anyone in this world whose life is absolutely complete, and it is good enough now, at least she doesn't have to run for survival like the homeless people on the streets, and worry about it all to fill her stomach.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Chunting quietly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and returned to his previous appearance, as if nothing had happened just now.

Bai Huanru has been in good spirits for the past few days, but the rest of the food is fine, and the food on the road is not too good, and she still hasn't asked herself to lose weight again.

Su Hanran ordered to slow down the journey, and he didn't stay in a certain place for too long, although the speed of traveling like this was not fast, but when it was about to enter winter, it should be Huaiyang.

Although the war has not yet been put on the table, the forces of all parties have long been ready to move, and now they are still holding back, but no one has yet done this.

Moreover, except for a few vassal kings, the rest are all wild roads, only two or three thorns are barely considered a figure for the king, and if the others are really asked to sit in that position, I am afraid that even the current Emperor Hui can't compare.

The change of dynasties is such an easy thing, the Southern Tang Dynasty has lasted for nearly two hundred years, and the generation of Emperor Hui is the eighth generation, the emperor of the Du family is not long-lived, but it is not short-lived, it is not a problem to live for forty or fifty years, relying on the rivers and mountains that the ancestors have beaten down, as long as there is no big mistake, it is not a big problem to sit on the chair for more than ten or twenty years.

Xu is that the Southern Tang Dynasty has been stable for too long, and this is probably the reason why the prosperity must decline, this world has not experienced turmoil for too long, and now it is time for the Southern Tang Dynasty to break its bones.

After moving forward for a few more days, Chunting vaguely found something wrong, regardless of the homeless people on the road, there were a lot more neat convoys like the Su family. It wasn't until he saw Mrs. Gongchanghou in the post station that Chun Ting vaguely realized what was happening.

There are not a few people in the capital who have moved south now, but the Su family left earlier, and the rest of them have also left the capital, and Chunting is not very clear.

At least the Anguo Mansion has not moved, the foundation of the Anguo Mansion in Beijing is too deep, if there is a big move this time, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, so it is better to stay in the capital to be safer. Even if the dynasty changes, the century-old family is still a century-old family, and who sits on the chair is not so important to the family.

Although Bai Yi is still sitting in the position of An Guogong now, Bai Langqing has become an adult and has a family, and most of the affairs of the Bai family are taken care of by Bai Langqing. Bai Yi's rest of the sons couldn't take the table, and in the end, they had to rely on Bai Langqing to support the Bai family.

Aunt Tong wants her sons to inherit the family business, but she doesn't look at the virtues of her sons. She has worked hard with the Chen family for most of her life, but she has captured the hearts of men, but she has neglected her sons, and it is not in vain that she has been in business for so many years.

The Bai family is now Bai Langqing's family, and the middle feed has also been handed over to Feng Xixi, the husband and wife are of the same heart, the Bai family is now like an iron bucket, even if the capital falls one day, there is no one who can't think of it to attack the Bai family.

After meeting Gong Changhou's family, it is inevitable that they will have to greet each other for a while, and the men see that it is nothing more than drinking and talking, and the female relatives just chatting about some family things.

Tang He condensed Bai Huanru's extra excitement, and pulled her to chatter non-stop. Tang Hening is the only daughter of Gong Changhou, and she is spoiled by her brother, and it is normal for a little girl to be squeamish. There were no playmates along the way, and it was rare to see Bai Huanru, who was the same age as her, so she was naturally very happy.

Chunting remembered that although this Tang girl was squeamish, she was still very kind, and she could be regarded as a good master to get along with, and Bai Huanru was willing to befriend her.

In terms of his seniority, Gongchang Hou is regarded as Su Hanran's elder, but it is always difficult to ask Mrs. Su to come out to entertain guests, and now this season is different from the past, who can take care of these false courtesies.

Marquis Gongchang left Beijing later than the Su family, and he knew more about the current situation in Beijing. Now, except for the Bai family and a few old families with deep roots in Beijing, the rest of the families have basically left Beijing, either to the south or to the north, and Beijing has long since lost its prosperity.

I heard that Emperor Hui's body is not as good as before, since he fainted that time, his body has decayed day by day, and he has been hollowed out by wine, and now it seems that he will not last long.

However, Emperor Hui's eldest son is only three years old now, and even if he ascends the throne in the future, he will be just another Emperor Hui.

The next day, everyone in the Su family set off as usual, but Gong Changhou decided to stay and correct for a few days, Tang Hening reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Huanru, and watched the Su family's convoy go away before returning to the Daoyi Station.

Chunting didn't have to follow Bai Huanru today, he was drowsy in the carriage behind him, and when he fell asleep, he felt that the carriage was sudden, and Chunting was defenseless and sat closer to the car door, and was almost thrown out. Fortunately, Qiu Zhi's eyes were quick and he grabbed Chunting.

Chun Ting opened the curtain and looked out, and asked the driver who was driving the car in a loud voice: "What's the matter?" How did it stop? ”

The coachman was also embarrassed, "I don't know what happened ahead, the carriage in front of me suddenly stopped, and it had to stop so urgently, but there is something wrong with the girl?" ”

The carriage that Chunting was in fell behind the convoy, and he couldn't see what was happening in front of him even if he stretched his neck. Qiu Zhi has always been curious, so he can still sit still, and without waiting for Chunting to react, he jumped out of the carriage, and turned back as he ran: "I'll go ahead to see how Madame is, and by the way, see what happened!" ”

Chunting wanted to stop, but Qiuzhi ran fast, running out of the distance of two cars in the blink of an eye, Chunting was anxious, but there were two small ones in the car, she was naturally not good at leaving to keep up, so she could only sit in the car and wait for Qiuzhi to come back.

But when the convoy had already moved forward and Qiu Zhi was nowhere to be seen, Chun Ting was so anxious that he couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he stood behind the coachman, wanting to see where Qiu Zhi had gone.

Chunting was in a hurry, when he heard Qiuzhi's voice coming from afar: "Chunting, pull me!" ”
