"Second sister-in-law, there are still some things at home, let's go back first," Zhu Yan saw this, so he hugged Lu Xiufang and stood up: "It's not too early, so I won't disturb your family reunion." ”

"If Zhu Gongzi doesn't give up, how about staying for dinner together?" He hurriedly said.

"Aunt doesn't have to be polite," Zhu Yan said with a smile: "Is it possible that your family is reunited today, and our husband and wife will come to see you off early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing this, everyone couldn't force them to stay, and sent the two out of the door. The kitchen had already prepared dinner and put it on the table, and everyone had no intention of eating, but felt that there was nothing to say. Thinking that Qingwan is about to set off tomorrow, thousands of miles away, I don't know when we can see each other, and my heart is gloomy. Qing Boding and his wife instructed many words, and Qing Wan agreed one by one, and it was not until late at night that everyone reluctantly returned to their rooms.

Sleepless nights. Early the next morning, before dawn, Qingwan got up, there was nothing to prepare, only a few pieces of clothes brought out from the palace, to be changed and washed on the way, a small package was loaded and bred, as well as the queen mother and the emperor rewarded with a step shake and jade pestle, which could not be brought, and the rest did not take anything.

Father's cough sounded in the upper room, the door opened, and Qing Boding and his wife, both with red and swollen eyes, walked out.

"Dad, mother," Qingwan suppressed the sadness in her heart and greeted her: "I heard that you still had a slight cough just now, and now that winter is coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, you have to take care of yourself." There is also a mother, who has always been afraid of the cold, and she can't be careless. I have prepared some nourishing pills for you, and they are all on the table in my room, one pill a day, and you and your mother should think about eating it. That's two months' supply, I counted the days, and when I was about to run out of food, I made it and sent it again. Also, you and your mother are old, you have to walk carefully, the road is slippery in the snow in winter, and you must help people when you go out."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by He's crying.

"Look, look, didn't we say it's okay? When he left, he didn't shed tears, and the children of the province were sad, which was "Qing Boding said this, and he felt that he couldn't go on.

"Dad, mother," Brother Hanguan rushed over when he heard the voice, even if he felt uncomfortable, he also supported and comforted: "The second sister is not going to come back, and when it is stable, I will naturally come back with my brother-in-law to see you, the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable the second sister feels." ”

"Your body is not good, from childhood to adulthood, my mother is the most spoiled by you, I have been thinking about marrying you close in the future, and taking care of each other, but I didn't expect to marry so far, that's it, that's it, just a daughter who marries out, splashes out of the water, raises a daughter, there will always be a day when you go out of the cabinet. I think when I got married, your grandmother cried for three days, and when she got on the sedan chair, she said, just when I don't have your daughter! He cried.

"Look at you, the more you talk, the more confused you become," Qing Boding was able to hold on a little bit: "After a while, Zhu Gongzi and Miss Lu came over, and you are still crying, so that people can see what it looks like?" ”

"Uncle, are you treating us as outsiders?" Zhu Yan and his wife had already come, and when they heard these words, Lu Xiufang smiled and said: "We can all understand Auntie's feelings, if you don't say it, you will be bored in your heart, I am afraid that it will be even more sad." ”

"Why are you here so early?" Qingwan said.

"If she doesn't come, how can she let go of this heart?" Zhu Yan pouted to the side: "I didn't sleep all night when I went back yesterday, I rummaged through the boxes, found the things and put them back, and I talked to her upside down, and I didn't know what to do?" ”

"You still talk about me?" Lu Xiufang said: "Didn't you even lie down?" Running back and forth in the front yard and back yard, the carriage was checked three times! ”

"Okay, okay, I know your mind," Qingwan hurriedly said, "I have received all these feelings." Actually, don't worry too much. There are people along the way, and there are no deserted paths, so there will be no trouble. ”

"Auntie, don't be sad," Lu Xiufang stepped forward to hold He's arm and comforted him softly: "Didn't I say that the second sister-in-law is not by your side, you will treat me as your biological daughter, and say anything to me." ”

He barely held back his tears, only feeling speechless.

"Second sister, it's dawn, you should leave early," Hanguang saw this, and came up to his sister to wink: "If it's late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the big inn before dark." ”

Qingwan knew what her brother meant, and if she stayed longer, her parents would be more sad, so it was better to leave quickly and let the rest of the people slowly comfort, so she said: "Father, mother, my daughter is not filial, I am gone, you must take good care of your health"

No matter how much Rao endured it, tears burst out of his eyes. She jerked her head back and walked out the door.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned and hurriedly followed.

The carriage stopped outside the door, four guards stood next to the car, Zhu Yan pointed and said: "If there is anything, just command, these people can get by with their kung fu, and there will be no mistakes along the way." The things that Xiufang wanted to bring to her second brother had already been put in the car. ”

Qingwan nodded, and the two younger brothers supported their parents and said, "Second sister, you can get in the car quickly, you don't have to worry about it at home, we all have us." ”

He hugged his daughter tightly and couldn't cry.

"Second sister! What are you going to do here? ”

The crisp voice that suddenly sounded made everyone startled, and when they raised their eyes, they turned out to be Hanjuan and his wife! Holding the child, a dusty servant, he also just got off the carriage.

"Big sister! How did you guys get here? Hanguang hurriedly asked: "I didn't even have a letter in advance, it really scared us!" ”

"What about me?" Hanjuan looked at the scene in front of her: "I still have to ask you, what's wrong?" Is the second sister going out? ”

"Eldest sister, I can't say a word or two. I'll tell you more about it later. Hanguang said: "The second brother-in-law is now in Qianzhou, and the second sister is also going to reunite with her brother-in-law." ”

"Why" Hanjuan didn't know why, and wanted to ask carefully, but was interrupted by Hanguang: "Sister, why did you come here suddenly?" ”

"Isn't it?" Hanjuan said: "Your brother-in-law has negotiated a business and wants to go to the capital to deal with it." Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I took the children over to see my grandparents, and I originally said that the family would be reunited, but I didn't expect us to come, and the second sister is leaving again? ”

"Eldest sister, can you and your brother-in-law stay longer?" Looking at the family that almost fell from the sky, Qingwan felt a little more down-to-earth in her heart.

"It's easy to come once, and I plan to go back after the winter solstice." Han Juan said.

Zhu Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but was discovered by Qing Boding, so he said: "Don't talk here anymore, it's not clear, Fang'er get in the car quickly, don't delay." ”

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, but Hanguan reluctantly pulled it away, urging her sister to get into the carriage.

In the early morning of August, the weather was already very cold, and when I went out of the city, it was even more chilly in the wilderness. Qingwan took out thick clothes from the package and changed them, lifted the curtain, and looked at the city gate behind her, the capital, which had been left behind, and what she was about to face was a strange place, a new life.

Going to Qianzhou, the road is getting more and more remote, fortunately, these guards of Zhufu are used to going south and north for many years, and they are familiar with the road, and they can find the big inn along the way before dark every day, so it is quite smooth.

On the day we arrived in Qianzhou, it was drizzling in the sky, and there were very few people entering and leaving the city gate, but there were still soldiers who checked as usual.

Qingwan got out of the car, and just as she wanted to speak, she saw the familiar figure that she had been thinking about day and night, and broke into her eyes, and her tears fell all of a sudden!

Little farewell reunion, full of tenderness. Lu Yanyi originally had a house in Qianzhou, and before leaving Beijing, he had already ordered someone to clean it up. They are all arranged according to Qingwan's preferences, the climate here is cold, the plum blossoms are in full bloom in winter, Lu Yanyi planted a large area of red plums in the courtyard, reflecting the first heavy snow in early winter, which is particularly enchanting.

After settling down, Qingwan wrote a long letter to the family, in addition to reporting safety and instructing her father and mother to pay attention to her body, she also specially told her eldest sister that she hoped that she could live at home for more time, the climate in the capital was warmer, the living was more comfortable, and she could accompany her parents more, killing two birds with one stone.

Soon I received a reply from home, which was written by Hanguan, and said that everything was fine at home, and the eldest sister and his wife had decided to take their children to spend the Spring Festival in the capital and then return to their hometown.

Seeing this, Qingwan felt more steady, and after the beginning of winter, the couple began to prepare for the establishment of the North Pharmacy.

Regarding the specific matters of this matter, the emperor has already issued two more holy decrees. One is to set up funds, and the other is to send a few people from Jingzhongtai Hospital to help prepare.

Lu Yanyi also selected a few famous doctors locally, plus the manpower of the state medical bureau, which is basically enough.

For a time, the medicinal materials of the northern provinces were continuously transported to Qianzhou, and the small state city was soon crowded.

Lu Yanyi had already prepared for this, and agreed with the prefect in advance that in addition to setting up more inns and warehouses, he also went to the imperial court, expanded the territory of Qianzhou by a part, and selected people to manage the affairs of pharmaceutical merchants.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it will soon come to the end of the year.

This is the first Spring Festival that the two have spent together after they got married. The pharmacy is closed from the 23rd day of the lunar month until the 6th day of the first lunar month, so these ten days are a rare rest time for the couple.

The sound of firecrackers, the door god peach charm, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingxuan personally cooked, made a table of dishes, for several months, the two of them were busy from morning to night every day, did not care about eating something well, and lost a lot of weight.

"Let the subordinates prepare," Lu Yanyi was happy, but his eyes were full of distress: "If you don't listen, you must cook by yourself." ”

"At the end of the year, I haven't been able to do anything for you myself. Today is the Chinese New Year, so naturally I can't eat those things sent from the kitchen. ”

Lu Yanyi took her hand: "As long as you are by my side, no matter what you eat." ”

"Do you remember? There was a plague in my hometown that year, and you came to our village and had dinner at my house one night. At that time, I didn't feel cold. ”
