Chapter 47: The Epistle Comes
For several days in a row, Yilan did not eat or drink in the room and did not leave the house, and the anxious Situ Zhongda scolded Li Mubai. Seeing this scene, Li Mubai returned to Jiangzhou in desperation. Yuanhang took advantage of these days to cultivate a lot of feelings with Yilan.
"Tuk, tuk." Yuanhang knocked on the back window for a long time and two short, Yilan opened the window, and Yuanhang turned into it with ease.
"Here, Chen's roast chicken, eat more." Yuanhang took out a paper bag from his bosom and handed it over.
"The plan has succeeded, your cousin has already left and returned to Jiangzhou, Lord Situ scolded him, and he will not come back in the near future." Yuanhang smiled evilly and sat on the side looking at Yilan.
"It's good to go back, but it can only be relieved for a while, the marriage contract is still there, what if he comes again?" Yilan was a little happy after hearing this, and then asked worriedly.
"It's okay, in a few days, I'll say to Master Situ and let him break the marriage contract and marry you to me, okay?" Yuanhang smiled and leaned over.
"You're poor-mouthed." Yilan turned her head shyly.
Yuanhang saw that Yilan's appearance was so touching when he was shy, he couldn't help but lean forward again, wanting to kiss Yilan's little face.
"Tuk, tuk." Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Yuanhang and Yilan were taken aback.
"Yilan, Mu Bai is gone, open the door quickly." Situ Zhongda's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Yuanhang hurriedly took the roast chicken into his arms, and without saying a word, pushed open the back window and jumped out. A maid was passing by at the back window, and she saw Yuanhang jumping out of the window and was stunned. Yuanhang squatted on the ground and looked up, it was actually the maid who had served him. Yuanhang stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and whispered, "Five taels of silver." ”
The maid nodded and closed her eyes tightly. Yuanhang smiled, bent down and ran back to his room.
When I returned to the room, I found that there was a person lying on the table, and Yuan Hang took a closer look and it was actually Tang Ling.
"Tang Ling! You're back. Yuanhang happily walked over and patted him on the head.
"Young master, I'm back." He cried as he spoke.
"What's wrong? Something is wrong. Yuanhang's face sank and he hurriedly asked.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I just want to be a young master. Tang Ling said with a sob.
Yuanhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "They are all adults, and they are still so childish, are they all okay?" ”
"Good. Master, Miss, Qinghe, they are all good. Tang Ling laughed again. said: "The business of the restaurant is good, I stayed in the house for a day, and I was afraid that you would worry about me, so I hurried back." After returning home, Master Li told me that you were here, and I looked for it again. ”
Yuanhang took out the roast chicken from his arms and said: "I calculate the time, I should come back, give, work hard all the way, eat." ”
"Thank you, young master." Tang Ling grabbed the roast chicken with one hand and ate it, and took out a few letters from his arms with the other hand and handed them to Yuanhang. said: "Young master, this is the letter brought to you. ”
Yuanhang took the letter and turned to go to the inner room. When I opened the graceful letter, I saw a strand of long hair between the letters. A line of beautiful fonts reads, cicadas call every night, geese urge. Thousands of miles to send green silk, looking forward to the king's return.
When I opened Qinghe's letter, I saw that Qinghe had drawn a portrait of herself on the letterhead, and a small poem was written next to the portrait. The concubine was in front of the king, and the king spoke lightly to the concubine. The concubines are suitable, and the concubines are connected. Yuanhang looked at Qinghe's portrait, smiled, took it to his mouth and kissed it.
Look at what Liqiu wrote. When he opened it, Yuanhang couldn't help but laugh. I saw that Liqiu returned the letter written to her by Yuanhang, only in the column, the acacia had turned to ashes, and two words were added crookedly, I bah.
Yuanhang finally opened Tang Yuanwai's letter and read it, in which Tang Yuanwai asked Yuanhang to take care of himself while he was abroad, and asked when he could return to Jingzhou to complete the marriage. After reading the letter, Yuanhang suddenly felt homesick.
"Tang Ling, you go back to the mansion and ask Li Mo, and see how many days the mansion can be repaired." Yuanhang walked to the outhouse and said to Tang Ling.
"Yes, young master." Tang Ling put down the roast chicken, wiped his mouth and ran out.
Yuanhang leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, his mind was full of the figures of Wanyue and Qinghe. It's been more than a month since I left them, how are they? Yuanhang decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the county guard to repair the mansion and return to Jingzhou.
waited for half an hour before Tang Ling came back. Seeing Yuanhang, he said: "Young Master, Master Li said that it will take about fifteen days, I have looked around the mansion, there are many places that need to be repaired, and it should take these days." ”
Yuanhang nodded to Tang Ling with satisfaction, this kid is not very old, but his heart is very careful.
"Go and prepare the car, we will go back to Jingzhou tomorrow." Yuanhang said to Tang Ling.
"Back to Jingzhou? Master, I just came back, and my butt still hurts. Tang Ling said exaggeratedly, baring his teeth.
"Then you stay in Qianling, and I'll go back by myself." Yuanhang laughed.
"I don't, I'll follow wherever the young master goes. I'll go back to my house and prepare the carriage. After Tang Ling finished speaking, he turned around and retreated.
Yuanhang went to see Situ Zhongda and told him about his return to Jingzhou, and Situ Zhongda told Yuanhang to be careful all the way. After coming out, he sailed to his residence in Yilan.
Yilan was practicing calligraphy in the house, and after coming in, she directly explained her intentions.
"What are you going back to Jingzhou for? Is it to pick up the family to come to Qianling? Yilan put down his pen and looked at Yuanhang and asked.
"I just went back to visit them, and I came back in more than ten days." Yuanhang replied.
"Yuanhang, who else is in your family, why don't you bring them here, I also want to get acquainted with them." After Yilan finished speaking, she felt that her face was a little hot.
"Yilan, I have no relatives in Jingzhou, only two wives who have not yet married." Yuanhang looked at Yilan and said.
"What?" Yilan said in shock.
"Yilan, listen to me......" Seeing Yilan's appearance, Yuanhang hurriedly explained.
"I don't listen! Now that you have a wife, why are you still pestering me? After saying that, he covered his face with his hands and ran back to the inner room crying.
Yuanhang followed up, and saw that Yilan had fallen on the bed, so he stood on the side of the bed and said: "Yilan, I am not a righteous person, and I really like you." I'll give you a name. ”
"What kind of name, to be your concubine?" Yilan asked crying.
"Be my wife." Yuanhang Zhengse replied.
Yilan sat up from the bed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Yuanhang and asked, "You already have two wives, how can I be a wife." ”
Yuanhang sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to wipe away the tears for Yilan. said: "My women are all equal, only wives and no concubines. ”
Yilan looked at Yuanhang in confusion, and Yuanhang smiled. Then he said, "Believe in me, and wait for me." ”
Yilan looked at the voyage, although there was a lot of unwillingness in her heart, she still nodded involuntarily.
Yuanhang returned to the county guard mansion and told Li Mo that he was going back to Jingzhou, Li Mo whispered to Yuanhang: "My lord, the county guard needs to tell the lord of the hall when he leaves the county, otherwise it will be a big crime to be known by outsiders." ”
"What? There is also this saying, is it possible that the county order will leave the county and tell me? Yuanhang asked.
"Exactly, sir. Unless God goes and returns quickly. Li Mo replied.
"It's too troublesome, and since that's the case, then I'll go quietly and not take a cloud with me." Yuanhang winked at Li Mo and said.
"With ...... What to take away? Li Mo asked after a pause.
"Don't ask too much, you take care of it here, at least ten days, and at most half a month, I'll be back." Yuanhang instructed.
"Yes, don't worry, sir." Li Mo bent over to give a salute.
Yuanhang called August over again and told her to guard the county guard mansion and not let Qiushui and Chunyue leave half a step before he returned. August agreed, and sent two Dark Spirits with him.
Just as he was about to take a break, a servant walked in and said, "My lord, a messenger from Jiangzhou has come to ask to see your lordship. ”
"Jiangzhou?" Yuanhang was stunned and said, what day is it, how did you read the letter of the day.
"Bring it in." Yuanhang shouted.
After a while, the official walked in with a small servant, and the little servant stepped forward to salute and said, "The little one is the Jiangzhou messenger, and there is a letter sent by the Guanjun Guard to the adults here, please take a look at it." ”
Yuanhang suddenly realized that it was the righteous brother who sent the letter, and hurriedly took the letter and asked the official to take the messenger down to rest.
In the letter, Guan Chundu said that everything went smoothly when he took office in Wanxing, and he missed the voyage very much, and looked forward to reuniting with the voyage as soon as possible. Reading between the lines expresses the longing for the voyage. The voyage wrote a reply to the messenger and told him to bring it as a greeting.
Everything was arranged, and I went back to my room and slept well. Before dawn on the second day, the back door of the county guard's mansion opened, and Yuanhang and others got into the carriage and hurried out of the city in the direction of Jingzhou.
