Qingwan's heart sank, and an indescribable sadness permeated her heart, but Lu Xiufang had already taken the letter first: "Sister Fang, take a look." ”

Qingwan opened the envelope and saw that there was a plain note inside, with only a few words: The sky is high and the clouds are broad and the wind is soft, and the wild geese will return south as soon as possible.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Qingwan's heart softened, and she couldn't stop crying. I couldn't help myself, folded the plain note, and put it away: "Sister Xiuwan, in the past few days since I was away, I asked you to take care of it in the shop." ”

Lu Xiufang happily agreed: "What else is there to be polite about?" Sister Fang, don't worry! Nothing happened to the quasi-insurance. ”

"That's good," Qingwan smiled, "When I come back, I'll bring you some more soil from our village." Good no good? ”

Lu Xiufang clapped her hands: "Sister Fang still understands me!" When I was in my hometown, I liked the little things in the countryside, but my father and aunt always didn't let me go to the countryside, and my second brother often brought me a few things. ”

Before Qingwan could answer, he saw Steward Ding come in respectfully, and asked, "Wei Dongjia, what time will you leave tomorrow?" What else is there to prepare? Just tell the old slave. ”

"There's nothing going on," Qingwan said with a pleasant face, "I've already taken care of it." Steward Ding is old, and he has to bother you to walk so far with me, this ice and snow, it's really hard for you. ”

"Don't say that, the owner," Steward Ding said with a smile: "Don't look at the old slave in his sixties, but his body is still strong, the owner doesn't have to worry." ”

Qingwan smiled: "Then go back early and rest, let's set off tomorrow." ”

"Yes," Steward Ding replied hurriedly, "then the old slave will go out and order the carriage and horses." ”

Qingwan bowed slightly, here Steward Ding went down, the maid and others put on dinner, Qingwan had something in her heart, she simply ate two bites, and went back to the room.

Things have been packed up almost, and finally checked again, mainly to Hanguang with a lot, I haven't seen it for several months, I don't know if the second brother has grown again.

Early the next morning, Qingwan got up and finished freshening up, drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and Lu Xiufang came to say goodbye, Qingwan told her a few words, and went out to get in the car.

Out of the capital, along the way, the weather became colder and colder, but fortunately, the group was well prepared and brought enough warm clothes, so they didn't suffer too much.

Although Steward Ding is old, he is still in good spirits, and he has arranged very well along the way, and the carriages and horses are the best, so he arrived at the county seat without delaying at all.

At dusk that day, when he entered the city gate, Qingwan said, "I have to go to the second brother first." Steward Ding, you first take a few people to find an inn to settle down, stay in the county seat for the night tonight, and then go back to the village tomorrow morning. ”

Steward Ding hurriedly agreed, leaving a few servants to follow Qingwan.

Although it has only been a few months, Qingwan still has a feeling of being separated from the world when she looks at everything in this county, she lifts the curtain and sees the street above the ice and snow, and she is full of emotion for a while.

"Second brother!" Qingwan suddenly found that her younger brother was coming towards her, and she couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly called out loudly.

Hanguang heard the voice, but he still seemed to be in disbelief, looked left and right, and found no one, and only then did he see the person in the carriage in front of him when he heard a greeting again.

"Second sister!" Hanguang hurried over, with a look of surprise: "Why are you back?" ”

"Come on, I'll tell you carefully," Qingwan hurriedly let his younger brother sit up, and looked at him intently, his eyes were already red: "I haven't asked you yet, why are you not in the master's mansion, but you ran to this street?" ”

"Oh, the master asked me to deliver something," Hanguang said busily: "Second sister, I can't believe it, how can I see you!" ”

Qingwan stroked his brother's head and smiled: "I'm here to pick up my parents to the capital." ”

"So fast?" Hanguang was slightly surprised: "I thought it would take a year and a half." Second sister, do you have a place to live when you take your parents here? I've heard that houses in the capital are very expensive. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm all set. Since entering Beijing, in the past few months, the business of the cosmetics shop has been quite good, the big house cannot be rented, and the smaller house is no problem. Qingwan said, "What about you, what are your plans?" I was supposed to let you go with me, but you haven't finished your studies yet, so I can't rest assured if you are left here alone."

"Second sister, you don't have to worry about me." Hanguang hurriedly said: "Isn't there still an eldest sister's family?" Horizontal and vertical live not far away. The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law often come to see me and send me this and that, and I don't lack anything. Moreover, since I have this opportunity to learn kung fu, I will never give up halfway, and I can only leave until the master agrees to let me become a teacher. ”

Qingwan smiled with satisfaction: "The second brother has really grown up, and he is not a child anymore." Since I have your eldest sister's family, I can also put my mind at ease. Speaking of which, the second sister doesn't take care of you enough, and the number of times she comes to see you is only a handful."

"Second sister, don't say that," Hanguang hurriedly took her hand and said, "You work so hard, isn't it all for our family?" Every time my father and mother talk to me, I feel very distressed. said that in a place as big as the capital, I don't know how many sins you have to suffer alone. ”

"Everything was fine with me there. When you leave the school, you will also go to the capital to have a look, and you will know. ”

Hanguang's eyes lit up: "Second sister, don't worry, I have already planned it, I can't learn these kung fu in vain, and when I get out of the school, I will definitely go to the capital to find a way out!" ”

As soon as I said this, I heard Steward Ding ask outside the carriage: "The owner, the inn has arrived, please get off the bus with Young Master Wei?" ”

Hearing this, Hanguang looked at his sister a little puzzled, Qingwan didn't care about his eyes first, but said out the window: "I don't think it's too late, with our carriages and horses, it's too late to rush back to the village tonight, Uncle Ding, I'll bother you, don't stay in the county seat, and rush back overnight." ”

"Yes." Steward Ding respectfully agreed, gave a few words to the coachman and the servant, and the carriage started again.

Qingwan looked back at her brother: "You are sending things for your master?" You'll have to get off the bus when you get to the master's house in a while, right? ”

"It's okay," Hanguang said busily: "Not far in front is the master's house, when I get there, I'll go in and talk to the master, and I'll take a few days off and go back with you." ”

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Qingwan asked, "Will it delay your business?" ”

Hanguang waved his hand again and again: "Second sister, you can rest assured." By the way, who was that butler just now? Is it someone you hired? ”

Qingwan smiled slightly and said: "This is the housekeeper and servant in your Brother Lu's house, this time I came back, your Brother Lu didn't worry about me, so I specially asked them to escort me." ”

"Oh," Hanguang blinked mischievously, looking like he understood everything: "Second sister, you are in the capital, thanks to Brother Lu, right?" When will you get married? ”

"Little ghost!" Qingwan smiled and said, "You talk a lot!" Although it is thanks to your brother Lu that you helped me to lay the shop and settle things, there is no other thing yet! Take care of yourself, and worry less about me! ”

Hanguang stuck out his tongue and stopped mentioning it. Lifting the curtain and looking out, he hurriedly shouted: "The master's mansion has arrived, second sister, I'll go down first, you wait for me, I'll be back immediately." ”

Qingwan nodded, watched his younger brother jump out of the car, and hurried into the house, but after a while, he ran back and got into the car panting: "Okay, the master said that I don't have to come back in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to stay at home for a few more days." ”

The sister and brother talked all the way, reunited after a long absence, as if they could never finish talking, and before they knew it, they had rushed to the entrance of the village in the night.

got out of the car, a gust of north wind blew, and the cold wind went straight into the bones, Qingwan couldn't help but shiver: "I didn't expect it to be so cold!" ”

Hanguang looked at her a little funny: "Second sister, you have lived here for so many years, why are you afraid of getting cold?" ”

Qingwan also smiled: "You don't know, the capital is much warmer than our house, and I'm used to living there for a few months, and it's really a little uncomfortable to suddenly return to such a cold place." ”

"It's good to be home," Hanguang said with a smile: "The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law have sent a lot of charcoal fires, and I heard my father and mother say that the house is very warm this year!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled her and walked home.

Qingwan turned back to Steward Ding and said, "Uncle Ding, you can come with me too." Although my house is small, there are still a few vacant rooms, so I will grieve you tonight and squeeze in my house. There are no inns in this country, and if you go back to the county seat, it will be too late at night. ”

"The owner doesn't have to worry about the old slaves," Steward Ding hurriedly said: "The second young master has ordered, let the old slaves not leave an inch, protect and serve the owner, and the old slaves dare not leave without permission." I have been living in this village for the past few days, but I am afraid that the owner's house will be noisy. ”

"That's fine," Qingwan said, "Let's go back to the county seat together." As long as you don't dislike my family's simplicity. ”

With that, he and his brother went home hand in hand.

Seeing this familiar door, Qingwan's tears couldn't stop flowing, and his hands were almost soft to lift, but his younger brother stepped forward and patted the door, and said loudly: "Dad! Mother! It's me and my second sister who are back! ”

"Who?" Qing Boding's suspicious voice came from the door: "Is it Hanguang?" ”

"Dad, it's me!" Hanguang said excitedly: "There is also a second sister!" ”

The door creaked open, revealing Qing Boding's slightly old face, but his eyes were still bright, he looked at the pair of children standing in front of him, and almost couldn't believe it: "It's really you?" Why did the three watches rush back in the middle of the night? ”

"Daddy!" Qingwan had already stepped into the door, choked up and said, "It's me who is back!" ”

"Old woman! Girl! Qing Boding's eyes were also red, and he turned his head back and shouted loudly into the house: "Come out quickly, see if it's really the girl and Hanguang are back!"

"What? What the? He Shi hurried out of the house, his feet fell and stumbled, and before he could speak, tears had choked his throat: "It's really true"
