On the Yuan Festival, there was no curfew in Lin'an City, and it was lively all night, until the dawn of the second day, the lights were dim, and you could still see the scene of yesterday.

The gate of Ding'an Hou's Mansion opened, and the carriages carried the cages to the ferry.

Mrs. Gui Tete wore a new dress, her hair was meticulously combed, and she wore a turquoise forehead, and with the support of Mama Liu and Qingzhu, she entered Changyuan.

Wen Kite greeted her.

Old Madam Gui glanced at her, "Your mother is still lying?" ”

"Yes," Wen said, "I vomited again in the morning." ”

Mrs. Gui entered the main room and walked all the way to An's bed.

Ahn struggled to get up.

"Lie down," Old Madam Gui looked at An Shi condescendingly, "I vomited more than I ate, but my face was not thin." ”

An's face turned white.

"We're going to the north, and you're up to the house here," Mrs. Gui smiled, "In the end, you're knocking on your head, but it's light or heavy, the doctor doesn't have a good way, so you can take more time."

Yes, the most insistent thing for the old woman over the years is to maintain health, you have served me for so long, how to take care of the body, you know how to do it, don't relax.

The old woman and Erlang's daughter-in-law are not there, you don't have to care about any personal contacts, you have never dealt with those alone, and it is not beautiful when you go on a business trip.

As for the affairs of the family, you will leave it to Sister Kite, don't worry about it. ”

An listened honestly and responded.

Old Madam Gui could see at a glance that An was pretending to be sick, so that she was not even interested in debunking it.

I can't even pretend to be sick, it's really useless.

She was in a hurry to go to the capital to fulfill her wish, and she was too lazy to bother with An's again.

"If you want to stay in Lin'an City, just keep it." Old Madam Gui didn't delay much, and after saying this, she turned around and left.

On the second door, everything is ready.

Wen Yan got into the carriage, Wen Hui beside her kept talking, she listened with a smile, lifted the curtain and looked out.

The huge Ding'an Hou Mansion receded little by little, and the blue bricks and white walls became farther and farther away until they were no longer visible.

Change ships at the ferry, go north along the canal, and Lin'an is also far away.

Wen Yan lay on the small bed in the cabin, thinking that she had finally set foot on the road to Beijing.

Soon, she will be able to return to the capital, meet Huo Yixiao, and face her enemies.

The canal is busy, although it is a day and night boat, but the speed is not fast, but it is better to be smooth and comfortable.

Wen Hui was still interested in going to the deck to take a look at the scenery on both sides of the strait in the first few days, and then she slowly rested, she said, there was cold, wind and look, and what she saw was almost the same.

Wen Yan said, "I haven't been out of Jiangnan, how many different things do you want to see?" After a few days of walking north, it will gradually become different. ”

Wen Hui was very curious, so she went to see it again after a few days, and ran back to Wen Yan and said, "It's blocked, the waterway is full of boats, and I can't count them." ”

Hearing this, Wen Yan was also curious, and followed Wen Hui to the deck.

As Wen Hui said, large and small ships are lined up on the water.

Wen Zifu also came up, asked the steward about the situation, touched his beard and said to the two, "I heard that it is going further north, the ice of the river has not been fully melted, the front is slow, and we are squeezed behind, plus half a day ago, two ships collided, and it was just dealt with." You two go back to the cabin, it's okay. ”

As he was talking, the steward took a post from the boatman and called Wen Zifu.

"Sir," said the steward, "the ship next to us handed it over." ”

Wen Zifu opened it and looked at it.

It says that the boat lane is congested, and I am afraid that I will not be able to travel smoothly before tomorrow.

Meeting is fate, it is better to eat and drink together at night, which can be regarded as making friends.

Wen Zifu handed the post back to the steward and said, "Retreat, it's not the time to eat and drink." ”

The steward answered.

Unexpectedly, on the boat over there, a person lay directly on the side of the boat, and waved his hand to Wen Zifu very enthusiastically.

"Don't be so polite," the man shouted, "I'll be the east, a glass of water and wine." ”

Wen Yan followed the prestige, the other party was about thirty, wrapped in a tiger skin cloak, but the person was a scholar and handsome, and he seemed very mismatched.

Wen Hui also glanced at it, and whispered in Wen Yan's ear, "Stranger." ”

Wen Zifu took a few steps forward, and said, "There are elderly relatives at home, and it is inconvenient to board the boat to drink, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"I just saw that there was a lady on your boat, so I greeted you," the man hurriedly said, "My sister is also on the boat, the boat is boring, she is panicking, I actually want to invite the girl from the house to come over, can you accompany my sister to talk for a while, to relieve the boredom." ”

Wen Yan and Wen Hui exchanged a look, and neither of them was interested in it.

"I'm not a suspicious person, I can show you the way, my name is Qiu Xian, and my father was Qiu Min, the prefect of Yuanzhou." The man shouted again.

"The prefect's son would be so strange?" Wen Hui muttered, and seeing that Wen Yan was thoughtful, she couldn't help but call, "Ah Yan? ”

Wen Yan came back to his senses and said to Wen Zifu, "I'll go talk to his sister-in-law." ”

Wen Zifu was also stunned, Wen Yan is not a "diligent" person, he was reluctant just now, and now he took the initiative to change his words, is it because the other party is Qiu Min's son?

It seems that Qiu Min has been dead for six or seven years......

On the opposite boat, Qiu Xian was still trying to persuade them, Wen Zifu was not good at asking Wen Yan in front of others, and only made sure that Wen Yan was going, so he should go.

Only then did Qiu Xian put away his chatter and said, "I'll see you in an hour." ”

Wen Hui took Wen Yan back to the cabin and asked, "Ah Yan, why do you suddenly want to go?" I think that man is too weird, and his sister is also a weird. ”

Wen Zifu also looked at Wen Yan and asked, "Sister Yan has heard of Qiu Min before?" Or does their family have any relationship with the eldest brother and Mrs. Xia? ”

"I don't have a relationship, and I don't know Lord Qiu Min, Lord Qiu," Wen Yan said, "but that Qiu Xian is the former nephew and son-in-law of Lord Bi, the prefect of Shuntian." ”

Wen Zifu frowned, Wen Yan's statement was very interesting.

Bi Zhi'an is his future peak, so what kind of former law is the "former" nephew and son-in-law?

Wen Yan explained: "I remember that when I first entered the palace, I accompanied the princess to ask the emperor for peace, and met Lord Bi who was punished for kneeling outside the imperial study.

The father-in-law advised the princess not to enter the imperial study, because the emperor had just lost his temper with Lord Bi and was angry.

The princess later inquired about the cause and found out the reason. ”

That year, there was a flood in Yuanzhou, and Qiu Min actively provided disaster relief, but unfortunately he was overworked and died of illness.

The emperor posthumously sealed a lot, and Qiu Xian and his wife sent their father back to their hometown.

That wife was Bi Zhi'an's niece, she accidentally stumbled and died, and Qiu Xian only brought a porcelain jar of ashes to the Yue family.

Qiu Xian said that the road was far away and the sky was hot, so he couldn't send it back completely, so he could only burn it.

The eldest sister Bi Zhi'an, who was grieving because of the loss of her daughter, couldn't accept her daughter's accident at all, and asked Bi Zhi'an to investigate.

Bi Zhi'an was raised by his eldest sister since he was a child, so he inquired about the place, and replied that it was indeed an accident, he did not give up, and continued to investigate the hatred that should not be investigated.

"Master Bi can't check it anymore, but he definitely hasn't let go of it in his heart." Wen Yan said.

Wen Zifu touched his beard and said, "Since I am a person that Master Bi doesn't like, I befriended him, didn't I cause trouble?" ”
