The next day, there were many people at the dock.

Xu's father didn't come forward, but Xu's mother came over with Changping, who specially asked for leave.

Changping looked at the second uncle and Chang'an, like a rabbit with red eyes.

It was only after he returned home last night that he learned from his eldest brother that he was going south with his second uncle.

Changping immediately felt abandoned, but reason told him that the eldest brother was not playing in the past, and the main purpose was not to study. Although the eldest brother was calm and light-hearted, as if he was going south purely to relax, he couldn't hide the fact that he wanted to do his best to escort the second uncle and them to the south safely.

While Changping felt sorry for himself that he was going to be left behind, he couldn't help but worry about the storm that the second uncle was about to encounter. These things made him sleepless all night, and he couldn't help but get up in the middle of the night to find his eldest brother, but he was stuffed by the eldest brother again, their biological mother was in the capital, and he had seen the news.

Changping's expression at that time was described as if he had been struck by lightning, the kind of feelings that wanted to cry and laugh, wanted to be angry and had nowhere to vent, he didn't know what to do.

Changping thought at the time that if the eldest brother said the news just to divert his attention, then he succeeded.

Biological mother or something, Changping has completely forgotten this person, he turned over the memories in his mind, and he couldn't find her voice and smile.

In his heart, although his aunt is not his biological mother, he has been considerate to him over the years, cared for him, and worried about him as much as his mother. In Changping's view, the second aunt is the mother.

But Leng Buding knew that the woman who gave birth to him but didn't raise him lived in the capital with them, and maybe they would pass by when they passed by, how ironic.

Changping's attention was successfully diverted, and then he only cared about his biological mother in the second half of the night, and he was not so entangled with the eldest brother and second uncle when they went south.

Now that the parting is imminent, Changping walked up to Chang'an and whispered, "Big brother, I know what you mean, don't worry, if you are not in the capital, I will carry the Xu Mansion." Those who don't have a name or surname don't look for me, and I won't recognize me. I was raised by my second uncle and aunt, and I only recognize them. Big brother, you don't have to worry that I've been coaxed by them, I'm not that stupid. ”

When he said this, the sun jumped up from the distant horizon, and the brilliant golden light shone on Changping's body, and Changping's whole person shone brilliantly. His eyes were slightly swollen on his young cheeks, and his eyes were blue and black, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well last night. But on his face, he no longer had the heartless and lungless appearance he had before, but replaced it with a steady and mature appearance. It's like his feet have finally fallen to the ground, and now he has no support, and he can only support Changping in Xu's Mansion by himself, and he really grows up.

Chang An didn't say anything more, just patted Changping's shoulder silently. Changping lowered his head and sniffed. This is the last time he is fragile and after that he is long. Niu Co Lu. Ping, he can do anything, no one can hurt the people he shelters and cares about, and no one can hurt him.

Suqian came over, and he was full of emotion, "I first sent Wang Ke away, then Xin Wei, and bid farewell to Yanting some time ago, and now it's you again." Let's go, let's go, it's better to go. Now that the capital is windy and turbulent, if it weren't for the fact that my position is really fat, I am ready to leave. "It's just not going to work. Su Xuan's family affairs were ready to be done the next year, what happened to him coldly? Even if he wants to leave, he will have to wait for Su Xuan to get married before he can plan to release him.

Xu Erlang said to him, "It's good if you know it in your heart...... I still recommend that you put it out. You can't go far in the DPRK without the experience of being released, so you can figure it out for yourself. ”

In fact, this doesn't need to be pointed out by Xu Erlang at all, Suqian also has the mind of going out. After all, there is a clear rule in the DPRK that if you want to join the cabinet, you must stay outside for at least two terms. Looking at the ministers of the court and the central government throughout the ages, their experiences are similar. They were all advanced to the Hanlin Academy, and then released, and then slowly entered the cabinet.

At the beginning, he was willing to nest in the Hanlin Academy, didn't he want to take this most stable path to enter the cabinet? It's good now, because a lot of things have been put on hold again and again. Now although he has become a household servant and looks like he has a head and a face, Xu Erlang, who is one year lower than him, has become the governor of Zheng Erpin, who is in a position of power, because of his remarkable achievements in foreign office, and he really can't show off his qualifications.

Suqian sighed, "Next year, when Xuan'er becomes a relative, I will be released." ”

Xu Erlang nodded, "Your position is fat, if you want to let go of more people to help you, you can act when you have the opportunity." ”

At this time, Father Lin took Aunt Shen and others, Uncle Shen brought Wu Pingxun and Qiubai, Su Xuan and Wei Qingyao and Ban'er and Su Zheng also came over.

The elders told Jinniang and Xu Erlang over and over again to pay attention to safety.

Senior Zhong Su Zheng jumped to Chang'an's side, "Brother Chang'an, take me south, the hussar camp is really not a place for people to lead." Look at me and Changping, how long have we been there, and we've been thin to a handful of bones. Over the years, I have grown these 180 pounds of meat, and as a result, I have lost weight to this pair of ribs, and I am sad. ”

Chang An glanced at Su Zheng, "Why did you come out on leave?" ”

Su Zheng was very sad when he heard this, "I didn't want to send you yet, Brother Chang'an, you are too hurtful." Because I want to send you off in person, I'm going to roll around in front of the chief. I didn't even want my face, so I had this opportunity to see me off. It's not easy for me to be more difficult than Changping, but Brother Chang'an, you don't know my hard work. Brother Chang'an, you have changed, you are no longer the former Brother Chang'an. ”

Chang'an didn't even raise his eyelids, "What was I like before?" ”

"You used to be gentle and considerate, but you can take care of people."

Chang'an "hehe", Changping "hehehe", Ban'er, Su Xuan, and Wei Qingyao laughed when they heard this, and Su Xuan even slapped Su Zheng, "That's all your illusion." Chang'an is gentle and considerate, and he also went to Miss Wei, what does it have to do with you. ”

Su Zheng showed a sad expression, "What the second brother said makes sense. ”

Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at this time, Changping stabbed the eldest brother's waist, "Big brother, look, is that the carriage of the Wei Mansion?" ”

Chang'an was particularly sensitive to the word "Wei", and reflexively looked towards the main road leading to the wharf. Sure enough, I saw a carriage with the emblem of the Patriotic Mansion on it, driving steadily here.

Chang'an ignored the ridicule and ridicule of Su Xuan and the others, and walked a few steps quickly to pick up people. His heart was so excited, and his heart was so full of love and pity that he was so excited that he almost couldn't wait for the people in the carriage to come down, and he wanted to say, "Why did you come here yourself?" Didn't I tell you yesterday that you don't have to send it off in person? The river is damp, what should you do if you get too cold? ”

Fortunately, Chang'an is introverted by nature, and these words were not said in advance, otherwise when he saw Wei Guogong and Wei Shiming, who got out of the carriage first, he didn't know what he would be embarrassed to become. Bashan Academy

Anyway, Chang'an was embarrassed enough now, his cheeks were flushed, and his footsteps paused in place before he hurried up to meet him again.

Wei Guogong had Xu Erlang personally receive him, and this was the second time that the two had contact in private. The last time Xu Erlang and Jin Niang went to Weifu to propose, the two had a brief meeting at that time, and even when they arrived at the court, the two did not say much. Usually, it's a slight chin that says hello.

After all, the Weiguo Mansion is prosperous, and Xu Erlang is now in a high position, leaning towards one side. If these powerful ministers get too close, they will inevitably provoke the jealousy of those in power.

Even if Emperor Yunwen is very important to them, but when they are given to avoid suspicion, they must avoid suspicion, otherwise they will be played by the imperial history too much, and His Majesty will inevitably be careful.

This time Wei Guogong came over in person, which Xu Erlang never expected. However, he only raised his eyebrows slightly, and he understood the reason for Wei Guogong's appearance.

"My sister-in-law is widowed at home, and it is inconvenient to show up, so I will bring Zhao'er over to bid you farewell."

Xu Erlang bowed back to him, "Duke Wei Guo is polite." ”

The year of the Patriotic Emperor is about forty years, because he is in charge of the army all the year round, and his majesty is very heavy. His face is cold, and it is difficult to contact when he looks at it, and there is even a kind of evil aura that can stop children from crying at night. But in the face of Xu Erlang, his tone was very polite. On the one hand, of course, there are two families who are in-laws, and on the other hand, it is not because Xu Erlang's ability is outstanding, which makes him feel equal, so he respects it a little in his heart.

Wei Guogong handed over a folded piece of paper, "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated, you should be careful after you pass." On paper, it is my two best friends, if you have any problems, you can go to them for help. ”

Xu Erlang didn't refuse, accepted the paper, and thanked him sincerely by the way, "There is Lao Weiguogong." ”

Here, Wei Guogong said "um", and then didn't talk much. Xu Erlang is not a person who talks much, so he stands with him. The two of them unconsciously looked at Wei Sizhao and Chang'an, but when they saw that the two children were behaving politely even at such a time, they became more and more satisfied.

Chang'an looked at the blue and black under Wei Sizhao's eyes, and felt a little distressed, "I didn't sleep well last night, did I?" ”

Wei Sizhao nodded, what did he say, "When I think of you going south this time, I don't know when it will be the return date, so I can't sleep well." ”

Chang'an's ears were red, but his heart was sweet, "Don't worry, when the second uncle settles down in the south, I will come back immediately." Chang'an's voice became lower and lower, "I will also study hard, strive to be on the list of the next imperial examination, and marry you back home in a beautiful way." ”

At this time, Wei Sizhao's delicate cheeks also flushed, and she wanted to say ashamedly, "That wants to marry you so soon?" But doesn't she hate to marry, she can't wait to become a husband and wife with Chang'an now, so that she can go south with him.

It's a pity, that is, to think about it, it's simply not possible. Because the family had long prevented her from producing this kind of moth, her household registration and customs clearance diploma were all confiscated by her mother. In addition, in the name of teaching her the rules, her mother arranged for four grandmothers in her courtyard to watch day and night.

That's really how many grains of rice she eats at every meal, and her mother knows it clearly. If you want to avoid these sights and run to Jiangnan to find Chang'an, it is too difficult.

Wei Sizhao knew about this part, and he was afraid that he would not be able to meet for at least a year, and the root of his nose would be sour. She untied the purse around her waist and stuffed it into Chang'an's hand, "I am my personal belongings, you can put it away." If you miss me, you can look at this purse. I embroidered two squares of handkerchiefs in the purse, both for you, my embroidery is not exquisite, you are not allowed to laugh at me. ”

I couldn't help but tell him, "After I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely write to me." Whatever you want, you can tell me. I'll write to you regularly, so if you remember to get back to me. Otherwise, I will not receive your letter, and I will be restless day and night. ”

Chang'an's heart was about to melt when he heard this, if it weren't for the elders not far away, and this dock was full of people, he would have made it right and wrong if he was not careful, otherwise he really wanted to hug Wei Sizhao and comfort her.

Although when he went to the Weiguo Mansion to resign yesterday, he had restrained himself and hugged her lightly. But it's like a person who smokes a lot, if you can't smoke it, you won't find it delicious, and you won't miss it, but if you smoke it and let him cut it off, it's tantamount to a fantasy.

That's too painful.

But in order not to affect the other party's reputation, Chang'an endured his hands that were ready to move.

The two little men and women whispered a few more words, and it was not early. Seeing that it was time to leave, Chang'an reluctantly urged Wei Sizhao, "You get in the carriage quickly, I should leave too." You get a good night's sleep when you get back, or your head will hurt. ”

Wei Sizhao nodded and shook his head, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were shining with water, "Don't worry, I haven't said hello to my uncles, aunts and elders yet." ”

Ah, this Chang'an didn't expect it.

He only cared about understanding his lovesickness, but he forgot about these rules.

Chang'an took Wei Sizhao and gave a salute to all the elders.

Aunt Shen and Ke Ke didn't expect to meet Chang'an's fiancée, and neither prepared a meeting gift. But they are elders, the first time they see a girl, and it doesn't look good if they don't give it, so Aunt Shen immediately took off the elbow on her wrist and brought it to Wei Sizhao's wrist, "Good girl, this bracelet is not valuable, you can take it and keep it for a thought." Grandmother didn't expect you to come and see them off in person, otherwise she would have prepared a better one for you. ”

Wei Sizhao replied with a blushing face, "This bracelet is already very good." It's just that this should be your beloved thing, and Si Zhao has taken your favor, but it's a little unpleasant. ”

Aunt Shen's smiling eyes were bent, and the more she looked at the girl in front of her, the more she felt that it was really good to be anywhere, and they were really a match made in heaven. If they get married now, maybe the next time she comes over, she will be able to hold their children.

Ke Ke is also a noble girl in the capital, and she has naturally met Wei Sizhao a few times. But it's just a few bits and pieces, after all, Wei Sizhao was restless earlier, and it was a blessing to be in the house for one month of the year, and she wandered outside most of the rest of the time, even if her family wanted to see her, let alone outsiders.

However, the two belong to the same circle, even if they are two or three years apart, they are familiar in the end.

Ke Ke couldn't help but tease her, "The next time we meet, you have to call my little aunt." No, this is the jade pendant I brought with me to make a meeting gift for you. ”
