Chapter 40: Leaving Home

Early the next morning, Zeng Chengchun and Zeng Fuxiang made an exception and did not go to work in the fields early, and Zeng Guixiang did not go to the academy, he said that he wanted to meet the people of the Xu family.

In addition, Zeng Rong's two uncles and aunts and several cousins also came over before Chenshi, and said that they were going to send her, and the two aunts and several cousins took Zeng Rong's hand and asked her how she saved Xu Jing, how she got into the eyes of the old lady of the Xu family, and how big the Xu family was.

To put it bluntly, they all hope that Zeng Rong will be able to pull and pull everyone after entering Beijing, even if they can't take them to the capital, don't forget to bring a copy to them when they bring things home in the future, or don't say no when something comes to her in the future.

To Zeng Rong's surprise, the patriarch and the third uncle also came, and they didn't ask for anything, but only told her to bring peace to the family after settling down in the capital, and to write a letter to the family during the New Year's Festival.

Zeng Rong responded one by one, and cried with her, her and Zeng Hua's eyes were a little swollen from crying, especially Zeng Hua, her tears haven't been dry since last night, and even her dreams are crying.

When Granny Ding came to pick up someone, Zeng Rong held Zeng Hua with one hand and a burden in the other, walked up to Zeng Chengchun, pulled Zeng Hua to kneel down and kowtowed.

Zeng Chengchun's eyes were also a little red, first reached out and touched Zeng Hua's head, and also patted Zeng Rong's shoulder, saying: "Ah Rong, take care of Ah Hua, don't hate Dad, Dad was also a last resort before, I didn't really want to sell you." ”

"Yes, Ah Rong, Ah Hua, we really don't want you to leave, but we can't stop you from living a good life, right? When you arrive in the capital, don't forget us. Tian Shuilan squeezed over and pushed Zeng Laixiang in front of Zeng Rong, and at the same time squeezed out a few tears.

Zeng Rong didn't want to be false with this woman anymore, so he didn't answer her words, glanced at Zeng Fuxiang and Zeng Guixiang, and pulled Zeng Hua out of the gate of Zeng's house.

When he got into the carriage, Zeng Rong turned around and looked at these people and houses behind him, this time he felt more away from home than in the previous life, after all, he was a few years older, and he was reliving a lifetime, many vague things in his memory were re-experienced this time, and his understanding of family and homeland was more intuitive and profound, and at the same time, he was also full of fear and anxiety about the upcoming future.

In her previous life, she was just a six-year-old Mengtong, full of only thinking about escaping the fate of being sold by her parents, and when she got into the carriage, she only had the joy of escaping and the ignorant expectation of the future.

After the carriage left the village, Zeng Rong picked up her mind and took care of Zeng Hua wholeheartedly, because she knew that Zeng Hua's heart must be as frightened and uneasy as her, but she was afraid that she would be a little more reluctant.

Fortunately, there have always been people along the way, sometimes it is Granny Ding and Granny Tang, sometimes it is the two sisters Ziai and Zijing, these two are the second-class maids next to Mrs. Xu, they are more lively, they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they have told Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua about what they have seen and heard along the way, and they also talk about the relationship between the characters of the Xu family, the rules of the Xu family, and the history of the Xu family.

Occasionally, the old lady would call the two sisters into her carriage and accompany her to tell her about the strange things in the village, and about the people and things of the academy.

After returning home from the academy that day, she took her eldest brother to accompany her to the town to sell the purse and herbs on hand, and then she bought two pieces of cloth, this time in Beijing, she and Zeng Hua could no longer wear those patched old clothes.

On the first day of entering the Anzhou Mansion to sharpen, the old lady wrinkled her brows when she saw the clothes on their bodies, and immediately asked someone to find two sets of clothes for them, but she didn't have such a big maid by her side, so there were no suitable ready-made clothes for them.

Fortunately, Zeng Rong had the foresight and hurriedly said that he had bought cloth and was going to make it in the carriage, so the old lady's face looked better.

Rao was like this, and she also ordered someone to take them to the clothing store in Anzhou Mansion to buy two ready-made clothes for the two sisters.

Zeng Rong knew that the old lady thought they were ashamed, but she didn't take it too seriously, but Zeng Hua was uncomfortable, talking less and less, and people were getting more and more bored, Zeng Rong didn't relieve her.

The boredom of the road and the fatigue of the journey are nothing to Zeng Rong, what really embarrassed her is facing Xu Jing, she is afraid that she will not be able to control her emotions when she is close, and she is a little reluctant when she is far away.

Another point, after all, she is an adult who has been reborn, her vision and heart, experience and experience are much richer than ordinary people, and Xu Jing is still a real ignorant teenager at this time, so the feeling of getting along with the two is also a little weird.

Fortunately, Xu Jing didn't have many opportunities to get along with them, Xu Jing usually followed Mrs. Xu closely when she lived in the store, and there were four or five people waiting around her, Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua didn't have a chance to get ahead at all, and only when the old lady was interested, she had the opportunity to say a few words when she called them to go to the car to chat.

At this time, Xu Jing seems to be more willing to talk to Zeng Hua, he will pull Zeng Hua and ask her what she will do every day, and also ask how to distinguish raspberries from snake bubble fruit, ask if snake bubble fruit will really die if you eat it, and will also ask her if there are many wild eggs and mushrooms on the mountain, how to distinguish poisonous mushrooms, and also ask her what snake she was bitten, who saved her, whether there are many chances of encountering snakes, and will also ask her if there are many fish in Qingshan Lake, where do wild ducks come from, whether anyone has caught them, etc.

Zeng Rong generally can't insert these topics, she really doesn't know as much as Zeng Hua in this regard, and she also knows that the eldest sister in the previous life was really bitten by a snake, and it was coincidentally that Ouyang Si saved her.

In this way, she knows better what her eldest sister thinks about Ouyang Si, but in this life, the age gap between the two is too big, and she really has no hope of helping her realize this dream.

Not only that, Zeng Rong also had a faint feeling that in this life, she and Xu Jing are estimated to be inseparable, first of all, if she doesn't enter Xu's mansion to be a maid, she won't have the opportunity to get close to Xu Jing; Secondly, she doesn't want to be a concubine anymore, but the backgrounds of the two are like clouds and mud, and she can't have the opportunity to marry Ming Media; Third, the most important point is that Xu Jing has no gratitude to her in this life, in his heart, he has always thought that Zeng Hua saved him, and Zeng Rong just started it.

In addition, Zeng Rong herself is also a little awkward, her adult soul calculates the feelings of a ten-year-old child, how to say it is a bit ridiculous.

For this reason, Zeng Rong quickly corrected her position, after all, what she wanted to do more than marrying Xu Jing was to protect him and prevent him from dying young, and at the same time, she also had to settle Wang Chuchu's account.

And all this is not something that can be done by marrying Xu Jing as a concubine.
