Chapter 36: Nanyang Kingdom, I'm Coming!
That night, the ancient mansion held a practical banquet for Zhenbei.
The old lady took her hand, reluctant and proud, from clothing, housing and transportation to getting along with people, repeatedly admonished!
Zhen Bei agreed one by one and listened patiently.
"I have to get up early tomorrow, everyone is gone, let's rest early!" At the end, the old lady sighed and waved her hand.
She knew that she had to leave some time for the Guchang Lei clan and them, and they were no less worried than herself.
"Grandmother, rest early, too! I'll write back when I'm free! Zhenbei knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said sincerely.
"Good! Good! The old lady hurriedly helped her up, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Grandmother is waiting for your letter!" ”
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Zhenbei was called to the study of the ancient field.
Gu Chang is not a person who can speak well, he only instructed a few words, such as "Don't disgrace Yongchuan Country and live up to the good intentions of the saints", and let her go back!
dragged her somewhat tired body back to the courtyard, and she realized that her eldest sister Zhenzhi had come to look for her.
"The eldest lady waited for a while and left, let the slave and maid give this to you, Childe!" Yam said, holding a jade pendant similar to a peace charm.
Zhen Bei took a closer look, and there were two lines of delicate small characters engraved on it: Today's book is played, and tomorrow will return triumphantly!
She smiled slightly and hung the jade pendant around her waist.
"Childe, do you really only take peonies with you?"
Zhen Bei raised her eyes and saw that Yam was looking at her with resentment in her eyes.
"Because of the rules of the academy, each person can only bring one attendant! Besides, there are so many treasures in your son's courtyard, how can I rest assured if I don't leave a capable and trustworthy henchman to guard it! Zhenbei patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Yam, after I leave, everything here depends on you!" ”
It turned out that Childe didn't take him, not because he didn't fancy him, but because he had more important tasks to entrust him!
The bitterness in Yam's heart was swept away in an instant!
Zhen Bei took out a letter that had already been written from the desk: "Tomorrow, when I leave, hand this over to the eldest lady!" I'm going to rest, you can step back first! ”
Sure enough, he is more relied on by Childe than Peony, no, Childe entrusted him with the most important mission!
Hmph, for the sake of Peony's poor baba and still a little woman, he was more generous, and no longer cared about her lunch, eating the pastries he kept for after dinner!
Yam took the envelope with both hands, solemnly held it in his arms, tried to straighten his back and said loudly: "Obey the orders of the childe!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance arrogantly at the corner of his eye, and the peony that was walking towards them strode out.
Leaving the inexplicable peony, he looked at his back and stood in place.
"Peony, help me pack up these few things and take them to Nanyang tomorrow!" Zhen Bei picked out a few sets of four treasures from the study drawer.
Peony came back to her senses and walked forward quickly: "Childe, Madame is here, and she is waiting for you in the guest hall!" ”
Zhen Bei bowed her head and said, "Got it!" ”
She hesitated for a moment and walked in the direction of the guest hall.
Lei was fidgeting and waiting, and the moment she saw Zhenbei, she almost bounced up from the brocade chair.
"Belle, you're finally back?"
Zhen Bei looked at her with complicated eyes, and said straight to the point: "As long as you don't cause trouble and interfere in my affairs, I will give you a decent life, even if it is with another identity!" ”
Lei Shi smiled on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I came here to ......"
She gritted her teeth and pulled a wooden box out of her sleeve!
When Zhenbei saw this wooden box, her eyes turned cold for a moment.
"That, Belle, you listen to my mother," Lei secretly squeezed his eyes at her, "This pill should still be eaten!" These, you carry them, remember one pill a day, and let someone send them to you after eating! ”
Lei Shi stuffed the wooden box into Zhen Bei's hand, and took the opportunity to whisper: "Take it quickly, it's up to you whether you eat it or not, but you must make it disappear every day!" ”
Zhen Bei's mind moved, and she took it in her hand: "In this way, I have to bother my mother!" ”
There is still a smart child, the most worry-free, one point is clear!
Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." Mother left first, you rest early! Go over there, remember to take care of yourself! ”
After saying this, she turned and walked out, impatient.
Zhenbei held the wooden box and watched her disappear into the darkness.
Lei's has been very wrong in the past few days, I don't know what happened to her, looking at her words and deeds, it is more like she is forced by someone's threat to let Zhen Bei accept the pill and continue to take it!
It's just that Zhen Bei didn't plan to spend energy on her to investigate and explore these things!
Many years later, the tragic result caused by the fermentation of this incident made Zhenbei always feel heartache and blame herself whenever she recalled it, of course, these are all later words!
Let's say that Zhen Bei held the half of the golden hairpin in her hand that night, remembering that she was about to see the old man in her previous life, so she tossed and turned on the couch until late at night, and gradually fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Peony knocked on the door to wake her up and brought toiletries.
Everyone in the ancient mansion got up early and reluctantly sent her outside the gate.
Sima Duanli had already ridden a horse, and when he waited outside the gate of the mansion for a long time, he was dressed in a fiery suit, and his spirit was extraordinarily vibrant!
In the carriage of Sima's family, there was only a fair-skinned and quiet little maid.
"It's the moon!" On the way, Sima Duanli introduced Zhenbei and Peony.
Xiyue saluted respectfully: "I've seen Gu Gongzi!" I've seen Sister Peony! ”
Peony saw the master and hurriedly helped her up: "Sister doesn't have to be so polite!" ”
While the two little maids were chatting, Sima Duanli secretly said to Zhen Bei: "It was my mother who forced me to bring her out, according to my wishes, how can I bring a fall-resistant party!" Brother Gu, while you haven't gone far yet, do you have a way to make her go back confidently and change to a little guy who knows some kung fu? ”
Zhen Bei glanced at the new clothes that he had just worn for half a day, and said lightly: "I think my aunt is far-sighted, and this move is extremely right!" ”
Sima Duanli: ......
After several days of running, the carriage of Zhenbei and his party finally appeared in the team waiting to enter the first city of Nanyang Kingdom-Yuncheng.
Zhen Bei lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the four big characters of "Nanyang Yuncheng" shining with golden light on the city wall, and her hands couldn't stop trembling slightly.
Nanyang Kingdom, I, Lin Yunyin, are back again!
Bachelor Zhou, who was in charge of registering and reporting on the new students, suddenly felt a chill hit him, and he couldn't help but shudder a few times in a row.
He stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then realized that there were two more people in front of him.
Among them, the young man dressed in white was staring at the courtyard plaque hanging above the Zhu Gate; Another stout young man in red looked around with burning eyes.
When people are old, their eyes are spent, and even their ears are not good!
Bachelor Zhou thought in his heart and said to the two people: "Are the two freshmen who came to the college to report?" ”
The young man in white listened to his words as if he had not heard them, and still looked up intently.
And the figure of the young man in red flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at his table, and said with a smile: "Old master, we are here to report!" ”
Bachelor Zhou was cold and frightened, he stared at a pair of cloudy eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him with some annoyance: "You two are from there?" Your royal family has already handed in the letter of admission? ”
The young man in red didn't seem to be aware of the other party's hostility, he still smiled brightly, and said, "It's delivered in the morning!" I heard that I had to confirm the identity card again, so my brother and I came over to take a look! Old Master, do you know where to register? ”
Bachelor Zhou saw that although his demeanor was impolite, his eyes were clear and thorough, and he was obviously a straightforward person, but he knew that what he did was unintentional, and most of his anger disappeared unconsciously: "It's here with the old man!" ”
He pulled out a booklet, picked up his pen and asked, "Which country did you sponsor?" ”
The young man in red said, "Yongchuan." ”
Mr. Zhou said again: "What is your name? ”
The young man in red replied, "The student's name is Sima Duanli, and that one over there is my good brother Gu Zhenbei!" ”
