Chapter 45: The Eve of the Trip
"What! You're leaving tomorrow! It's going to be half a month long! ”
After Jiang Ci returned to the house, she told Wei Wei the news, and she muttered a little mouth and jumped up from the stool and chair, and her eyes that were still smiling were a little more lonely at this time.
He was also a little reluctant in his heart, when he first heard the news, he just wanted to have fun with himself, forgetting that there was still a little girl in the house who was not worry-free, and he didn't know if she could take care of herself in the half month she was away.
Jiang Ci thought about it for a while, and promised to bring her Qingyan delicacies, and promised to come back to accompany her out to play, and tried her best to coax Wei Wei, she just pouted and crossed her hands, shaking her head and humming a few times.
"Grandma, I'm really out of options, I can't take you with me!" Jiang Ci was really out of options, lying on the soft bed, and said helplessly.
What he said was almost sour, and he couldn't say anything about Wei Wei.
Obviously, there is nothing that can't be done with a bunch of sugar gourds on weekdays, if there is, then two! But now she is very determined, and she can only say things like "hum" and "don't" in her mouth.
It was an unintentional sentence, but it deeply attracted Wei Wei, she was surprised and happy to rush towards Jiang Ci, fortunately he was agile, otherwise he might be crushed to death by the "stone carving Buddha"!
"Good! How do you know that Wei Wei also wants to go! Wei Wei is so old, he hasn't been to other places other than Sheng'an, Daddy and Auntie just lock me up in the house all day long, not to mention how boring! ”
She turned over, hugged the Su silk square pillow into her arms, and whispered a complaint.
It's miserable, I said it casually, this guy is serious!
Jiang Ci slapped his mouth with remorse, hesitated in place for a long time, and when he turned around, he took several broken steps, but when he turned his head, the scene in front of him didn't surprise his eyes.
She took out a few light-colored dresses from the cabinet at some point, and folded them a little rough and arranged them in a square cloth package.
You're a tiger, aren't you? The speed should not be so amazing!
"Look, Wei Wei has packed up, Jiang Ci, don't be stupid, quickly collect your things! Also, can Wei Wei bring Yun Xiang with him, Yun Xiang is the same as Wei Wei, he has never been out of Sheng'an City, and there are more! Bring Chubby with you, Wei Wei is not here, it will definitely miss me very much! By the way, can you buy more small pastries to eat on the road, Wei Wei wants to buy ......"
"Wei Wei, listen to me."
Before she could count her fingers and finish talking about the small pastry she had been thinking about for a long time, Jiang Ci grabbed her shoulder and interrupted her with a slightly serious expression.
He knew that these words might hurt her heart a little, but he had to say it.
When his gaze met her starry eyes, the words that had just been mentioned in his throat were swallowed back, and after a few puffs, he flickered his eyes, staring at the horns in the room and said intermittently; Wei Wei ...... That's why I said that...... It's just a casual ...... that I had no choice but to say it I didn't expect you to take it seriously. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned red, but she pretended to be strong and sniffed, tried to withdraw her tears, stared at his face and asked, "So, you lied to Wei Wei just now, didn't you?" ”
This! Sure enough, it's a child! How to explain it! Besides, where did this son promise you, you acquiesced yourself!
Jiang Ci couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, and he could only blame himself for not thinking about it from her point of view, although he wanted to get out of his stomach, but when he saw her like that, the complaints in his mouth turned into guilt, sliding down his neck and into his heart, and the pain was piercing.
"Yes, sorry to lie to you."
"Jiang Ci is a big villain! Big liar! ”
She shook off Jiang Ci's hand suddenly, and walked out of the door with one step, and the silver bell on her waist also rang harshly due to the amplitude of her movements.
From beginning to end, Jiang Ci buried his head and didn't dare to look up at her more.
After she left, there was no noisy chatter in her ears, and only the dust and dust were left in the wide room, accompanied by Jiang Ci, but she was a little unaccustomed, and after sitting quietly for a while, he called the maid to help organize her bags.
Halfway through, a small servant came to call for dinner, and Jiang Ci just waved his hand and declined.
Before I knew it, it was time for Yue'er to climb on the branches, and the little pig who had been playing crazy outside for a day also slipped back to the house, curled up in a ball and snoring.
During this period, Jiang Ci stood outside the house several times and looked at the direction of the moon arch, listening attentively with his breath, but he never saw the shadow or the sound of the green bell.
couldn't help but panic, for fear that she would run out of the house with her anger again, so she stepped out of the hospital and searched for those places in the mansion where there might be traces of Wei Wei.
Finally, when passing by the embroidery workshop, the still lit fluorescent candlelight attracted Jiang Ci's attention, he walked lightly to the entrance of the house, pushed open the half-covered door, and saw a girl on the side of the window, and the light and shadow flickering in the lamp shrouded a girl.
She was very serious in leading the silk thread in her hand to wear flowers and brocade, not paying attention to Jiang Ci's arrival at all.
Jiang Ci walked towards her step by step, and Xu is shadow was reflected on the cloth brocade, and she raised her head and noticed him: "Wei Wei is still a little short of embroidering, but Wei Wei is really not lazy!" ”
She put down the needle and thread in her hand, pinched out some small beads of sweat in her palm, stood up and waved her hand at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci originally thought that this guy was running to hide and sulk, or where to play, but he didn't expect that he was working for himself in the embroidery workshop......
He took the corner of the robe and looked at it, and wanted to praise her, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what words to use to describe it, and he vaguely dodged Xu Hui before he came up with a sentence: "I know, the flesh-faced bag is working hard, and this son sees that this grass leaf is embroidered very realistically!" ”
Jiang Ci pointed to the embroidered dark green pattern and said to Wei Wei, but the girl stomped her feet slightly: "This is a grass leaf, this is obviously an ink bamboo!" ”
What? Mozhu, whose Mozhu looks like this!
Jiang Ci squeezed out a slightly embarrassed smile, and after a while, it ended somehow.
"Gollum ......"
It was Wei Wei's little belly protesting again, presumably this guy didn't eat dinner either, Jiang Ci glanced at her belly, but Wei Wei felt a little shy and covered it, he nodded with a wicked smile, turned around and pretended to leave: "Oops, it turned out that my son's stomach was screaming, so I was busy looking for you, I forgot that I haven't eaten dinner yet, Chef Sun specially cooked a few good dishes today, my son will go to eat first, and come back to see you later." ”
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Jiang Ci expected, and before the words came out, the sleeves of his shirt were clenched tightly by a pair of small hands: "It's Wei Wei who is hungry!" Wei Wei didn't eat dinner either, I want to eat too, I want to eat too! ”
She tugged at Jiang Ci's sleeve and was coquettish, and his shaking head was about to be shaken: "Okay, just take you to eat, and besides, if you run away if you are angry in the future, then Ben Gongzi will not take you to eat delicious food!" ”
Wei Wei nodded again and again: "Okay!" Wei Wei promised you! ”
But just as the two were about to leave, she remembered something, turned her head and trotted back to her original position, looked at the robe and sighed: "However, Wei Wei can't leave yet, the robe hasn't been embroidered yet, and ...... You're leaving tomorrow. ”
Jiang Ci also followed to her side, cut the thread attached to it and tied it short, and folded the unfinished robe neatly and hugged it into his arms: "No need, I think, this is enough, you have done a good job." ”
In the end, Wei Wei was coaxed and deceived by Jiang Ci to let go of the knot in his heart.
Subsequently, the two went to the kitchen to have a big meal, and when they returned to the house with their waists contented, they saw a red gold mahogany box in the house, and when they opened it, they saw that it was full of all kinds of daily necessities, from kitchen utensils to needlework and thread......
When she was surprised, Mrs. Jiang knocked on the door of the unfolded room, lifted her skirt and walked in: "Ci'er, the first time you leave home, it is inevitable to worry about being a mother, these are all supplies that my mother can think of, and there is no harm in preparing more." ”
Jiang Ci knew that his mother didn't worry about him going far away, but he was going to a banquet, not to be a cook for others...... This pot and pan, I really don't need it!
"Mother, you have such a big box, you can pack the child in, people who don't know, still think that our Jiangfu will move to the house!"
Jiang Ci played tricks at Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang just poked his head with a smile: "Mother is worried, when you are also a father, you will understand, okay, okay, you have to get up early tomorrow, my mother will not disturb your rest, my mother will leave first." ”
After that, Mrs. Jiang walked out of the door and left the Heming Courtyard with Zhen Niang.
Jiang Ci couldn't help his mother, so he had to take this big wooden box on the road, just hoping that he wouldn't meet a bandit, thinking that it contained some gold treasures, so he robbed it, otherwise, he didn't have any clothes to change for half a month......
Today he was too tired to do anything, and felt that all the chores had gathered in the day, so he stretched his waist and fell asleep with the birds that flapped their wings from time to time outside the window.
