The carriage walked smoothly along the road, and the wheels creaked and creaked.

Du Rongzhi opened the curtain and looked out for a while, knowing that she would soon reach the fork in the road, so she ordered, "Yuanyuan, you go ahead and tell the coachman, I suddenly don't want to go to Jing'en Temple, let him pull us directly to the house on the outskirts of the city." ”

Yuan Yuan knew the inside story for a long time, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly responded yes, and bowed out of the carriage to find the coachman to talk.

Wan'er was sitting on Du Rongzhi's lap, happily looking at the scene outside the window, and when she heard her mother's words, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, turned her head and asked with a small face, "Mother, why don't we go to Jing'en Temple?" She heard Mama Gu say that today's temple fair under the mountain is lively, and there are all kinds of delicious and fun things......

Du Rongzhi put down the curtain and pinched her daughter's fleshy chin, "Later, my mother will take Guan'er to a fun place." ”

Wan'er blinked, half-believing and half-questioning, "It's more fun than a temple fair?" ”

"It's fun." Du Rongzhi packed the ticket and said, "There are hot pools inside and outside the house in that place, and you can play as much as you want in it!" ”

When Guan'er heard this, she really came to her senses, and asked with curiosity on her face, "Hot pool?" Is it like a large bathtub every time you take a bath? ”

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but be amused by her, "It's much more ...... than that" As she was talking, she felt that the carriage slowly stopped.

Yuan Yuan walked back from outside with a blank face, and whispered in her ear, "The coachman said that the master didn't explain it like this......"

As he was talking, he heard a man's voice outside the curtain say respectfully, "Young lady, this is still a long way from the house on the outskirts of the city, if this time passes, you will definitely not be able to come back before dark." I'm afraid that the little ones are not easy to explain. Do you see if it's ......?"

Du Rongzhi put Guan'er back in her seat, raised her hand to open a small curtain, and asked in a calm voice, "Are you afraid that it will be difficult to explain to your master when you go back...... Now you can explain it to me? ”

The coachman was stunned, and looked at Du Rongzhi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, it's a little confused......"

"In the future, if the master investigates it, I will follow him." Du Rongzhi lowered the curtain with an indifferent expression and said coldly, "Let's go." ”

The coachman didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly answered yes, and went to the carriage carrying Mama An, Guan'er's nurse and others to say a few words, and then continued to hurry.

………………………………

On the other hand, when Song Zixun came back from his inspection of the village below, it was already night.

Before he returned to the city, he was still a little hesitant, thinking about whether to go to the yamen to take those unprocessed official documents home, and maybe he could talk to Du Rongzhi, but also thinking that when he went out this morning, he promised her that if she was too late to rush back, he would bring her Zheng Ji's snacks tomorrow morning...... After thinking about it, he felt that it was rare that she was willing to give him a good face today, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue him, so he decided to go home with her tonight first, and come out tomorrow morning to buy her snacks.

Who knew that he was thinking about it, but as soon as he entered the county office, he heard the official say that Changxing had been waiting for him for a long time.

Changxing almost wanted to cry without tears.

He also didn't understand who he had recruited and who he had provoked, and why this kind of begging errand always fell on his head every time...... The wound on this butt has just healed, is it possible that it will bloom again?

Changxing stubbornly reported, "The young lady led Miss Sun to the house in the suburbs early this morning...... I also asked the coachman to send this letter back to you. ”

Song Zixun took it with a gloomy face, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter.

Changxing was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, raised his head and glanced at it quickly, and quickly lowered it.

For a long time, it was so long that Changxing thought that Song Zixun was going to be angry the next moment......

"Got it, you go back first." balance

"......" Changxing looked at him blankly. That's it?

Song Zixun glanced at him, "How many people did the young lady bring?" ”

Changxing thought for a while, "Mama An and Yuanyuan have all gone, as well as Mama and the girl who serve Miss Sun." ”

Song Zixun put the letter on the table.

He didn't feel much when he was rushing non-stop before, but now he knew that the person who was supposed to be waiting for him at home was no longer there...... Suddenly, I felt that my whole body was extremely tired.

He leaned back in his chair and pinched his eyebrows, "You go tomorrow too." ”

Changxing was stunned.

Song Zixun closed his eyes and said lightly, "If there is anything wrong this time...... Just come to me with your head raised. ”

………………………………

Because of the slow pace on the road, it was already noon when everyone arrived.

Guan'er was so curious about the hot pool in her mother's mouth, but because the time was a little late, she had to eat lunch patiently first, so she couldn't wait to take her mother to walk around the house.

Although Du Rongzhi bought this house for two years, it is the first time to come back, and the interest is no less than that of Guan'er, the mother and daughter happily circled the house, and finally chose a small open-air pool in the small courtyard at the back, let people use a screen to surround it, and then accompanied their daughter to play in it for a while.

After Wan'er was enough in it, she asked the nurse to take her back to take a nap, and Du Rongzhi continued to pack up the things she brought.

By the time everything was in order, it was already getting late.

When Guan'er first arrived in the new environment, he felt rare when he saw everything, even if the skills of the chefs here were far from being as good as in the house, he still obediently ate a whole bowl of rice, and his little belly was round when he put down the spoon.

Du Rongzhi looked at it and was happy, the two of them took a walk in the garden full of flowers after eating, she told the story of the flower fairy to Guan'er, and the little girl jumped up and down beside her to ask questions...... Time flies, as if no one cares that there is no one else around.

It wasn't until she slept at night that Mama An sighed softly, "Reasoning, the young lady should say hello to her master before going out......"

At the beginning, Du Rongzhi said that she moved the old lady to take Guan'er to the countryside to recuperate, and she also witnessed how Song Zixun suffered during that time, and now although she has a stomach for Song Zixun's performance that night, but for an old man like Mama An who has followed the rules all her life, Du Rongzhi's behavior of leaving her husband and running out without saying a word is still a bit unorthodox......

Du Rongzhi took off her shoes and shrunk into the quilt, "Should we have already come out...... Don't think about it. ”

Mama An said helplessly, and carefully helped her tuck the quilt corners, "The young lady is tired all day today, let's go to bed early...... Get a good night's sleep. ”

Du Rongzhi nodded, "Mama, go and rest too." ”

Mama An agreed, put down the bed curtain, blew out the candle, and Fang retreated lightly.

When she came out of the house, Du Rongzhi opened her eyes and was in a daze in the darkness.

She thought she was pleased......

At least it shouldn't be like now, with an empty heart, as if something is missing......

Du Rongzhi sighed and closed her eyes hard.
