Chapter 114: Going Home Alone
Luo Qing and his party were going to Qinghe's hometown, and the three carriages they had at home were definitely not enough, so Song Yujing went to buy two carriages, rented another carriage, and prepared a lot of food, as well as gifts for Qinghe's family, and loaded two carts.
Not only that, but also manpower, she sent half of the family in the house, and there are a lot of maids, but it is inevitably cumbersome, and the number of people is not too much.
On the day the group hit the road, the weather was sunny and cloudless, which was really a good sign.
Luo Qing has a plan to go back to Qinghe's hometown this time, she has to go back to her hometown to find someone, and return her mother's innocence, as well as her life experience, she must find the old people in the past and let them explain to her father that she is not someone else's daughter.
In the past, her father was reluctant to give her extra paternal love because he doubted her background, and if he knew that she was his daughter without the slightest doubt, would he treat him with a lot of admiration?
In the dead of night, she thought and asked like this, forcing herself to be clearer, and the answer was no.
Looking at him to Aunt Wang and Ping'an, he knows that none of these individuals are as important as Song Yuanchun in his heart.
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to have hope in your heart? What's more, she doesn't want to live a lifetime with the shackles of her life.
Now that you have gone to Qinghe, let's check it out.
Qinghe was going to the south, first by land and then by water, and he had to toss for more than half a month.
When they took the land route, they also met a lot of homeless people along the way, which shows how much Rongzhou is tossed into a miasma, this Qinghe and Rongzhou can be regarded as crossing several states and counties, and these homeless people have all come here, nothing more than riots.
Old Mrs. Luo shook her head, and said in a very low voice: "At the beginning, I was afraid that the prefect of Rongzhou intended to deceive the superiors and subordinates, but I couldn't suppress it." ”
Hearing this, Luo Rulan was very indignant, and she didn't care that they were now sitting in a tea shed in the wilderness, and there were two tables of people on the side, and there were even mournful homeless people not far away, and she raised her voice and said, "It's really a black-hearted dog official, what has become of the people, and they still want to hide it!" ”
Mrs. Luo couldn't see Luo Rulan's breathless temperament, so she whispered, "Your temperament should be more restrained, what kind of place is this?" Although he has been removed from his official position and investigated, it should not be discussed by us! ”
Luo Rulan wanted to say, grandmother, you mentioned it first at the beginning.
But grandmother is grandmother in the end, she doesn't dare to talk back, naturally this is not said.
Luo Qing felt that the matter was not only like this, the drought in Rongzhou had already been reported to the imperial court a few years ago, and the emperor must have allocated silver taels and grain.
But where did the silver and the grain go?
He is a prefect of Rongzhou, and if he gives him 100,000 guts, he can't eat so many things alone, needless to say that there are still people above him, and they will be stripped down layer by layer, and there will definitely be only a millimeter left in the hands of the people.
Just when she was in a trance, a little doll suddenly fell in front of them, Luo Rulan helped her up, and stuffed several pastries for her.
Not long after the little doll left, all the homeless people not far away walked up to them, and the momentum was very huge.
Mrs. Luo was frightened by this momentum and stammered, "You guys...... Eat it......"
The group of displaced people thought that they would be able to live if they left Rongzhou, but they didn't expect that several nearby states and counties would not let them enter the city at all, so they could only linger outside the city or in the tea sheds in the wild.
Now that they saw the charity of well-wishers, they were not polite, and they swarmed around the table and snatched the small amount of food on the table with their black hands, forcing Luo Qing and the others to get up and retreat again and again.
Luo Yangshu couldn't help but complain, "Look, who wants you to give that kid food?" ”
Luo Rulan was angry, "That little doll is so pitiful, what's wrong with giving me something to eat?" ”
Luo Yangshu's wife Miao was busy persuading Luo Yangshu, and Luo Qing was persuading Luo Rulan.
Mrs. Luo frowned and said, "Okay, get in the carriage, and then hurry, otherwise you won't be able to enter the city after dark." ”
At this moment, Luo Rulan exclaimed, "Where is my purse?" ”
Luo Rulan touched her sleeve and touched her waist, where is the shadow of her purse?
Luo Qing sighed, "I'm afraid it was stolen by Fang Cai's little doll." ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Rulan couldn't help but be ridiculed by Luo Yangshu again, "Look, tell you to save that little doll." ”
The two were about to quarrel again, but they were stopped by Mrs. Luo, and the group could be regarded as on the road again, but what they didn't know was that there were two people following behind their carriage.
They were lucky enough to enter the city before dark, but it was a little late, and they didn't have time to pick a good inn, so they could only find a nearby inn to rest.
But there are few juniors who can reassure Mrs. Luo, and they inevitably told them again when they were eating together.
"We have been walking on this land route for seven or eight days, and there should be no town in Ming'er to go forward, find a family to rest on the road, and then catch a day's road, and you can take the waterway by touching, and you can't walk by waterway for a few days, you can get there in about five or six days."
Further on......
Luo Qing's mind became active, and one day further should be to Qingquan Village, when Mrs. Luo had a sudden old illness and rested there for a few days.
Her heart moved, and after Mrs. Luo returned to the room, Tete went to look for her again, saying that she was not in good spirits, so she came to rub her shoulders and neck with her to soothe her.
Mrs. Luo agreed, and let her rub her temples, shoulders and neck for herself, and only after a long time did she close her eyes and said leisurely, "Do you want to come and talk to me?" ”
Luo Qing didn't feel embarrassed when her intention was punctured, this Luo Mansion is the most thorough way for Mrs. Luo, and she can see some small means clearly, but she doesn't care much about things.
Probably only if it really endangers Luo Fu, Luo Wen, and her own affairs, she will come out to knock on the board.
"That's it...... Can you rest in Qingquan Village at night tomorrow? She was afraid that Mrs. Luo would not allow it, and said, "I have calculated the distance, most of Ming'er's roads are smooth, and it is bound to be able to go to Qingquan Village in front of Lan County. ”
Mrs. Luo didn't respond to this, although Luo Qing was anxious, she didn't open her mouth to urge, but only rubbed Mrs. Luo's shoulders and neck with all her heart.
After a long time, Mrs. Luo could be regarded as speaking, "Take a look, if it is suitable, let's stop in Qingquan Village, it is also a beautiful place." ”
As long as Mrs. Luo didn't say anything to death, it was always possible.
Luo Qing thanked him happily.
Luo Qing's luck was good, they also went smoothly along the way, and they really rushed to Qingquan Village before dark, and they couldn't catch up with the next village if they went any further, so they could only rest in Qingquan Village for the night.
They brought a lot of people, and the general villagers naturally couldn't accommodate them, so they had to look for a big family who had built another village in Qingquan Village.
But there have always been few masters in Zhuangzhuang to live, and the stewards in Zhuangzi alone can't be the masters, but fortunately, Luo Qing still has some impressions in his mind, and he remembers that the masters of some families often come to Qingquan Village to hide.
Mrs. Luo was busy sending people to visit with Luo Wen's name card, and the owner of the house saw that they were from the capital, or the family members of the left servant of the household department, so he readily agreed to let them stay overnight.
It's just that this delay is a little late.
But now that I'm back, there's no reason not to go home and see.
Luo Qing didn't want to go privately, so she went to find Mrs. Luo and told her about it.
Now that the world is not very stable, and it is a big night, where can everyone run around? Mrs. Luo didn't allow it.
Luo Qing was stubborn, and no one could stop him except Yan Huai.
"Grandmother, Luo Qing has lived in Qingquan Village for many years, everyone in the village knows me, and because I practice medicine, most people don't dare to mess with me, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Old Mrs. Luo's already ravine-ravine face inevitably added a few more uneven and rugged mountain roads.
"Some time ago, the road was farther away from Rongzhou, and there were so many refugees, and this is closer to Rongzhou, and it's not in the city, where can you be willful?"
"Grandmother, it's going to be fine, not to mention that this is a village, and I don't have as many scruples as the capital." Luo Qing saw that Mrs. Luo was unmoved, and said, "Grandmother has a kind heart, and she has fulfilled Luo Qing's wish to stay in Qingquan Village, and she will definitely not see Luo Qing regret in vain." ”
Mrs. Luo pondered for a long time, but she agreed to her.
Luo Qing put on a hood and took Qingxing and Hongmei and two family members to her and Yanhuai's house in the depths of the bamboo forest.
It must have been a long time since anyone had lived, and by the faint candle flame of a lantern each carried by Qingxing and Hongmei, she felt that the whole courtyard was shrouded in darkness and depression.
Hongmei said, "Girl, this yard has been locked. ”
Luo Qing followed Hongmei's gaze, and really saw that the courtyard door was locked by a lock.
She lowered her head and took out a purse embroidered with pear blossoms from her bosom, and took out a lock from it, a lock that she had rubbed a little blurred, and then stepped forward to open the door herself.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the pear blossom tree in the courtyard had sprouted.
She thought that in more than half a month, it should be budding.
Hongmei talked more, and she was always presumptuous in front of Luo Qing, so she couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the girl loves pear blossoms so much, this pear tree in this courtyard should have been many years old." ”
"yes." Luo Qing replied softly.
At that time, she was stupid, and always felt that her brother was very poor, but she didn't know that her brother's house was well built, and even the pear tree in the courtyard was transplanted elsewhere by him without knowing how much effort and money.
"This house is a bit similar to what was built in the capital." Hongmei said again.
Luo Qing didn't answer anymore, but said, "Go and light the two lanterns at the door, and these lights under the corridor are also lit." ”
Although my brother can't see it, he always asks Aunt Zhong to light the lanterns inside and outside the courtyard at night, what did he say?
"If my Qingqing comes back late, look at the lantern lit, and you will be able to find your way home."
Later, Rao is she will also light the lantern at home all day, she likes to light the hall, and she also wants to light the hall for her brother.
She opened the door with the key, thinking that the thick dust was not visible.
