Chapter 489: The Journey
"It's a long way to the capital, as the saying goes, the poor are rich, and it's better to prepare more than to lack the east and the west," Pan said with a smile: "Besides, this thing is not taken for nothing, I still have something to ask you." ”
"What's the matter?" Ho asked.
"No, yesterday the Great Sutuo people came from the city with a letter, saying that the other side is ready, let Hanpu go over as soon as possible. We thought about it, so we asked the girl to take him by the way, and his father and I didn't know each other well, so we didn't go to the city. ”
"Fifth aunt just rest assured," Qingwan said with a smile: "My eldest brother and I have already scheduled to go on the 21st, so please ask the fifth uncle and fifth aunt to prepare Brother Pu's things and come over on the morning of the 21st." ”
"Then it's settled." Pan said with a smile: "If you take him there, your fifth uncle and I will be relieved." ”
In the busy, it was August 21 in a blink of an eye, this morning, the Qingjuan sisters and brothers got up before dawn, although the bags had already been sorted out, but they still checked it again, and after breakfast, Hanpu also came, and the three of them said goodbye to the Qing Boding couple and rushed to the county seat before noon.
After getting out of the carriage, I had to send Hanpu to Deyuan Hall first. Qingwan didn't want to go over, and was thinking about what to do, when she suddenly saw Da Su coming over: "I've been waiting here all morning, and I'm thinking it's almost there!" Come, give me the luggage! ”
"What are you doing to pick us up?" Qingwan smiled: "It's not that you don't know the way." ”
Da Su smiled: "It's okay, this is what the second young master ordered before leaving." ”
As soon as she heard this, Qingwan's heart moved, and before she could ask, Da Su seemed to know what was on her mind: "The second young master left the county seat more than ten days ago." I didn't forget to ask me to take good care of Brother Pu. ”
Although Qingjuan was very worried in his heart, he refused to ask where Lu Yanyi went, and Dasu didn't mention it at all, but said, "You still have to rush to the carriage of the provincial capital, right?" It's at the east gate, go quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if it's late. Brother Pu just leave it to me, you can rest assured. ”
"Brother Da Su, this is, do you second young master know?" Hanguan asked.
Da Su smiled: "It's not a secret, in fact, it was the second young master's idea to let Brother Pu study medicine." ”
Although Qingwan had already guessed, when she heard this, there was still a trace of complicated feelings in her heart.
"Brother Da Su, then why didn't you say it earlier?" Hanguan asked again.
"The second young master didn't let me tell me at that time, how dare I say it?" Da Su took the bag and took Hanpu's hand: "Okay, I won't send you away, Brother Pu here, don't worry about it." When I got back, I asked someone to bring a letter back to the village. ”
Qingwan asked Hanyan again if everything was okay, and then went to the east of the city with her younger brother.
The carriages sent to the state and provincial capitals have one departure each day, and the provincial capital is far away, so the departure time is also early.
The two of them were afraid of being delayed, so they rushed to the east gate out of breath, but saw that it was empty and there was no car!
The sisters and brothers were taken aback, and Hanguan grabbed an old man on the side of the road and asked, "Has the carriage to the provincial capital already started?" ”
"yes, for some reason, I left early today. If you want to leave, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for tomorrow. ”
Hearing this, the sister and brother were very disappointed, and Qingwan said: "I really have no choice, so I have to find an inn for the night first, and come over early tomorrow." ”
"This son, my carriage is going to the provincial capital, there are not many people in the car, and there are two vacant seats, do you want to take it?" Suddenly, a neatly dressed young man asked.
Qingwan looked at him in surprise, and when he was hesitating, Hanguan hurriedly agreed: "Where is your carriage?" ”
"Oh, that's it," the young man pointed to an extremely luxurious carriage next to him: "This son, it's not easy to go out, you can rest assured." ”
Before Qingwan could speak, Hanguan had already pulled her to get into the car.
"Big brother, what are you anxious about? Or else we're still."
Before she finished speaking, Hanguan had already pulled her to the car, and the curtain was lowered, and the carriage had already started.
Qingwan couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Before you figure out the situation, you just come up?" ”
"Don't worry, this girl," there were already two women in the car: "This car belongs to my family, do you think we look like wicked people?" ”
Qingwan couldn't say anything more, seeing that the two of them seemed to be serious people, so they had to do so.
Along the way, the two young women talked very well, not lonely, and took care of the Qingwan sisters and brothers very thoughtfully, and before they knew it, they rushed to the provincial capital before dark.
The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and the two young women invited them to stay together, and Qingwan knew that it was the largest inn in the provincial capital, so she was not worried, so she agreed.
The two women were very enthusiastic, and as soon as they entered the store, they ordered a large table of meals and invited the sisters and brothers to dine together.
Early the next morning, the Qingjuan sisters and brothers got up early, planning to say goodbye to the two women, and went to look for the car.
The journey from the provincial capital to the capital is long, and you have to walk for several days, so you can only hire your own car. Qingwan wanted to hire a better one, so that she could avoid the pain of running along the way.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw the two women also come out of the inn and saluted each other, and one of the women said: "If Miss Qing wants to go to the capital, I know a car, the coachman is my acquaintance, very reliable, just nearby, I wonder if Miss Qing can agree?" ”
Before Qingwan could answer, he saw a carriage coming not far away, and at a glance it was the best car, and when he stopped in front of the inn, the two women said happily: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive." Miss Qing, what do you think of this car? ”
Qingwan took a closer look, and the car was indeed impeccable, so he asked, "How much does it cost to get to the capital?" ”
"Okay, this coachman knows us well, so he won't want much." One of the women asked, "What about ten taels of silver?" ”
Hearing this, the coachman jumped down and looked extremely honest: "For your sake, ten taels will be ten taels." ”
Qingwan knew that this was indeed a very cheap price, and she got along with the two women along the way, and she could see that she was a serious person, and she heard the coachman say: "If the girl can't believe it, you can go to the west of the city to inquire, how many years have I been working there." ”
At this time, a few carriages came, and the drivers were familiar with the coachman, and the west of the city was a place where the carriages gathered, so that Qingwan's doubts were relieved, and he agreed: "Okay then!" ”
After saying goodbye to the two women, the siblings got into the car.
The carriage soon drove out of the provincial capital and onto the main road.
After walking for a long time, near noon, suddenly the carriage stopped, and then he heard a movement in front of him, Qingwan hurriedly opened the curtain and took a look, but he was surprised: Isn't it Lu Yanyi who is standing in front of him?
"Brother Lu!" Hanguan was very pleasantly surprised, and greeted him affectionately.
"Hey!" Lu Yanyi was enthusiastic like a brother: "It's really three days, it's impressive!" Later, when I came to Guozijian, I was not an ordinary person! ”
Brother Lu laughed," Hanguan got out of the car: "I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
After a short period of consternation, Qingwan quickly regained her senses, she hesitated, also got out of the carriage, stood there, and said lightly: "Why are you here?" ”
Lu Yanyi's expression was very natural, and he pointed to the carriage next to him: "This is my car, shouldn't I be here when I appear?" ”
"Your car?" Qingwan was slightly surprised, but soon understood the ins and outs of the matter, and her face became even colder: "It turns out that you made a trap for me to drill." ”
"Why are you saying so badly?" Lu Yanyi always had that uninhibited look, and his tone was relaxed: "I'm a good heart, it's a long way for you to go to the capital, if you don't have a good carriage, how can you get it?" The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became: "If you say so, I'm really wronged, and I have nowhere to complain." ”
"Yes, second sister," Hanguan didn't know much about the matter between them, and when he saw Qingwan's attitude, he was a little anxious: "Brother Lu is so thoughtful for us, why are you still talking like this?" ”
"Don't interject!" Qingwan immediately said. Then he said to Lu Yanyi: "You are really well-intentioned, from the moment we arrived in the county seat, you were already ready, right?" ”
"Anyway, I'm all kind," Lu Yanyi said, "You've never been to the capital, don't I think about you?" ”
"Thank you for your trouble," Qingwan said in an icy tone, "It's a pity we don't need it." ”
"If you insist on not using it, I can't help it," Lu Yanyi said with a helpless expression: "However, you have arrived here now, and you have left the provincial capital for a long time, and if you want to hire a carriage on the way, it will be difficult!" ”
"You" Qingwan heard the meaning of his words, and for a while, he was almost speechless with anger.
"Second sister, I don't think it's just right?" Hanguan said anxiously: "Go with Brother Lu, we also have a companion on the way, what else is there to hesitate about?" ”
"What do you know?" Qingwan subconsciously reprimanded her younger brother, so that Hanguan didn't dare to speak anymore, but she was confused.
"Look at you, what are you doing with your eldest brother?" Lu Yanyi had a kind face at this time, and pulled Hanguan to his side: "Don't worry, Brother Lu will definitely send you to the capital." ”
There are still such scoundrels!
"The carriage in the county seat was also arranged by you a long time ago, right? And those two women? ”
"Yes," Lu Yanyi said casually, "Aren't I worried that no one will take care of you?" How's it going, it's comfortable all the way, right? ”
"Are you going to go or not?" Qingwan simply has no patience at all.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go," Lu Yanyi was about to get in the car and leave: "Then it's hard for you, just walk to the capital on two legs!" It will take about 20 days to say the least, I don't feel sorry for you, but if you miss the eldest brother's enrollment date, what can I do? ”
