Chapter 52: Returning Home
Ah Yu asked Mama Chang: "Then are we going back tomorrow?" ”
Mama Chang shook her head: "The carriage from the house is still parked at the door!" Clothing style, gifts, banquet process...... Although the girl doesn't have to ask about these things one by one, she always has to know a rough idea. Originally, Mrs. thought that she would pick up the girl from the house yesterday, and she thought that not long after the girl came to the academy to study, she would fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, which was not good for the girl, so she postponed it for a day. ”
"If the girl wants to go back tomorrow, it's not impossible, but in that case, the girl will have more things to do in the next two days. I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be no time for the girl to review her homework......"
When she said this, Mama Chang's eyes were looking at the examination paper in Ah Yu's hand, and she was very surprised.
The academy opened by the old lady is so strict with women!
How long has their girls been in school, and they have to do so much homework, compared with ethnology, it can be said to be strict.
Of course, in the eyes of Mama Chang and them, Ah Yu transferred from clan studies to White Horse Academy, but she just changed places to study, and it is not inevitable that she wants to continue to live a mixed life.
Even if Ah Yu has been staying in the class of the second class, what they are thinking about is not that Ah Yu is the granddaughter of Old Lady Wen, and she can't even enter the first class, they will only think that Ah Yu is happy when she is studying in the academy, and they don't care about anything else.
Ah Yu used to think like them, but now it can't!
Now she feels that she is a mature person, and she can win glory for her father and mother just like her brother.
She hopes that when others mention her one day, they will say that she is worthy of being a girl of the Wen family, so that she can be worthy of her father's teachings.
Therefore, after listening to Mama Chang's words, Ah Yu put down the exam paper in his hand.
The carriage was still parked at the gate of the courtyard, but the things in the courtyard had not yet been packed.
Ah Yu said to Qingrui beside him: "You and Aoba together, pack the luggage that you want to bring back!" ”
When their luggage was packed, they could go back together
However, Mama Chang has something to say.
"The girl doesn't have to do the packing of her own hands, not to mention that there are things in this courtyard, and there are all in the house, and there are even some things, and the house is more complete than the other house...... You don't have to work too hard, you just want to bring everything to the house, you just look at what the girl needs, and what is not in the house, just pack those things, and that's it. ”
Qingye and Qingrui are still young in the end, and their experience is shallow.
Mama Chang knew that if she didn't say a word and let these two girls pack up their things according to their own ideas, I was afraid that they would not be able to get into the carriage back until it was dark.
Ah Yu blinked, and realized that what Mama Chang said was indeed reasonable.
The last time she came to the other courtyard from the Wen Mansion, it was a decision made in a hurry, so the things in the other courtyard, plus the ones that her grandfather specially prepared for her, were barely much different from the mansion.
This time she went back to Wenfu, and she couldn't stay for a few days.
Tossing back and forth, it's too troublesome!
It's better to just bring some important things as Mama Chang said.
Having said that, Ah Yu thought about it carefully, and picked up the exam paper on the desk, the homework that needed to be reviewed, she had already done it, and now there was nothing more important except for the optional exam paper in front of her.
She said to Mama Chang: "That Mama will help me see if there is anything else I need to prepare, and I will go and say goodbye to my grandfather first." ”
Ah Ah Yu only knew that Wen Huan still needed to go to the academy for classes today.
However, she didn't know her grandfather's whereabouts so clearly.
Although she also went to greet her grandfather early in the morning, she didn't ask her grandfather if he had any other arrangements today, and his grandfather naturally wouldn't have mentioned those things to her.
If her grandfather also went to the academy today, then she could only ask the people in her grandfather's courtyard to help convey her words.
Mrs. Wen did not leave the other courtyard, he served as the head of the mountain in the White Horse Academy, but occasionally he would give lectures, and after each lecture, there would be students who would submit poems and essays. After receiving these, he would always take some extra time to evaluate the poetry and prose.
When Ah Yu came to him, he was looking at the strategy.
After hearing that Ah Yu was here to say goodbye, Mrs. Wen put down the strategy in his hand, twisted his beard, and said: "This recognition banquet is not held in the Wen Mansion, and there are no people of the same generation in their Duan family, so I won't be able to go at that time." Ah Yu is going with your mother, and you don't have to worry about what anyone will say at the banquet. ”
There seems to be another mystery hidden in my grandfather's words.
On the way home, Ah Yu had been thinking about the hidden meaning of her grandfather's words, and she pondered for a long time, but she didn't come up with a reason.
I only guessed that the two-day confession banquet would not be as peaceful as she imagined.
But what's the matter, it's a big deal that the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it.
The problems encountered at that time can be solved.
Looking out from the flying car curtains, the official road outside the city was as crowded as ever, and when it approached the city gate, there were also many people waiting in line at the city gate.
Compared with ordinary people, rich children like Ah Yu naturally have a lot of advantages.
The common people lined up a long line at the gate of the city, but the carriage that Ah Yu was riding only paused for a short time at the gate, and when the coachman took out the certificate of the Wen Mansion, the guards guarding the gate naturally let the carriage into the city.
Kyoto is as prosperous as ever, and it never stops because there is no one missing.
Ah Yu sat in the carriage, and his thoughts flew for a while.
The cries outside the car window gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of the car rolling over the bluestone slabs, and the transition from bustling to quiet was just a few streets away.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Wen Mansion, and there was a conversation between Mama Chang and the gatekeeper outside the carriage.
Ah Yu reached out and touched the roller shutter in front of the car door, and suddenly there was no next move.
Obviously, she has only been away from home for dozens of days, but Ah Yu's heart is in a trance and feels that her life has passed, and the day in the poem is not seen, such as every three autumns, she is no longer ready to describe her attachment.
"Girl, we're here ......"
Mama Chang waited outside the carriage for a while, a little relieved that Ah Yu was asleep in the carriage.
Just as she was about to step forward and lift the curtain, Ah Yu finally acted.
Gently lifting the roller shutter, Ah Yu got off the carriage along the low stool with the support of Mama Chang, and looked directly at the plaque above the main entrance.
The word "Wen Mansion" is an appearance she hasn't noticed for a long time.
She should be home.
She finally came home.
The moment she stepped over the threshold, she lowered her head, and a tear fell down the corner of her eye into the dust, but when she raised her head again, there was no tear stain.
It was as if that tear was just an illusory dream.
