At Zhou Jingrong's insistence, the mission did not return home, but continued to set off towards Lanqiang.

Zhou Jingrong's reason is very good, the mission has been set off for a month, if you return to Beijing and start again, it will take two months to go back and forth, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with Princess Jingyu's wedding.

Moreover, she promised to go to Princess Jingyu's wedding, and she didn't want to break her word.

Of course, even if her reasons were not sufficient, it would be difficult for Fu Yunshen to refuse her request.

Fu Yunshen couldn't resist Zhou Jingrong, so he could only stare at her worriedly every day, for fear that she would be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhou Jingrong did not have any other discomfort reactions except for drowsiness.

Zhou Jingrong feels that this must be related to her usual active exercise.

Fu Yunshen didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, Pei Deyin could run and jump in the early stages of pregnancy, but later, she was tossed by the dishonest little guy in her belly, and even being able to sleep well at night became a luxury.

Therefore, Fu Yunshen attached great importance to this matter, and also learned a lot of knowledge about a woman's pregnancy from the medical officer, and taught himself massage techniques from the book to help Zhou Jingrong massage, so as to relieve her fatigue.

Zhou Jingrong sleeps every day in addition to eating, stretches out her hands for clothes, and opens her mouth for food, and her life is extremely regular.

Because Zhou Jingrong was pregnant, Fu Yunshen was afraid that the bumps in the carriage and horses would make her uncomfortable, and the marching speed of the mission was much slower.

The road was flat, the driving was slow, and sometimes Zhou Jingrong couldn't even feel the carriage moving.

Princess Jingyu's wedding date was in the spring of the second year, because Great Xia was far from Lanqiang, so she had to leave half a year in advance, which caused the mission to have to go on the road for New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, the Lanqiang country is in the south, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, although it is the end of the year, it is still warm and warm, otherwise it is impossible for Fu Yunshen to agree to Zhou Jingrong to come with him in the ice and snow.

Zhou Jingrong looked at the red and willow green flowers outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "At this time, it should have snowed in Beijing, right?" But here is as bright as spring, like two worlds. ”

Fu Yunshen responded: "Yes, there are such big differences in different regions. However, it is also good that the snow in the province is difficult to walk in winter, and the roads are slippery and dangerous. ”

Fu Yunshen's words are good, but they are not necessarily true.

There is no natural phenomenon of snow blocking the road, but it is still raining.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the mission encountered a sudden heavy rain on the road.

One second the sky was clear, and the next second it was suddenly raining heavily.

And the position they are in is a wide avenue, flat and stable, with a wide view, and there is no place to shelter from the rain at a glance.

As a result, the mission had to brave the rain to move on, hoping to find a place to shelter from the rain.

On rainy days, the roads are muddy, and the cars and horses are all deep and shallow, and they are bumpy, and there is no such smoothness as usual.

Fu Yunshen was afraid that Zhou Jingrong would be uncomfortable by the bumps, so he wrapped her tightly in his arms.

Through the clothes, Zhou Jingrong could feel Fu Yunshen's tense muscles because of nervousness.

She looked at Fu Yunshen's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, and comforted him with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm not so fragile...... Yes! ”

Before Zhou Jingrong's words were finished, the carriage staggered, making her heart shrink in fright, and she grabbed Fu Yunshen's clothes.

Fortunately, with Fu Yunshen's meat pad, Zhou Jingrong was only startled by the sudden weightlessness and was not injured.

Fu Yunshen slammed it hard, and his flesh hurt.

The carriage stopped in a downward posture on one side, and the horses neighed a few times outside, Fu Yunshen wanted to check what was going on, but he was afraid that the cold wind would pour in when he opened the curtain, freezing Zhou Jingrong, so he only raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shifeng rode forward and replied, "My lord, the road is muddy and the wheels are trapped. There was also a collapse of mud and sand ahead, and the deputy envoy took his brothers to clear the barricades, and it would take a while to return. ”

Fu Yun wanted to go down and push the cart, but he didn't worry about Zhou Jingrong. He thought about it and decided to stay in the car and wait for the others to come back.

But Fu Yunshen could wait, but the horses, who were gradually becoming anxious after being poured by the heavy rain outside, didn't want to wait anymore, and kept pulling outward, making the carriage keep shaking back and forth.

Zhou Jingrong was shaken and dizzy, and almost wanted to vomit.

Fu Yunshen was distressed, and was about to take Zhou Jingrong to get out of the car and change places.

Suddenly, I heard the world outside and said, "My lord, a few farmers are passing by, and my subordinates are going to ask them for help, please wait for a while!" ”

Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Jingrong heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and then a neat trumpet sounded, and the carriage was quickly pushed out.

Shifeng said again: "My lord, those farmers said that there are houses left by vegetable farmers here that can shelter from the rain, should we go over?" ”

Fu Yunshen responded: "Okay." ”

The carriage finally started moving, and Zhou Jingrong's nervous mood relaxed.

Fu Yunshen looked at her slightly pale face, and said distressedly: "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

Zhou Jingrong shook his head and drilled into Fu Yunshen's arms again.

It's no wonder that people wish each other a smooth sailing before embarking on a journey, but there really isn't a smooth journey!

Led by the farmers, Fu Yunshen, Zhou Jingrong and others came to a house at the foot of the mountain to take shelter from the rain.

The house was very simple, but there was dry firewood, so Shi Feng and the farmers set up a fire, and the temperature in the house gradually rose, and one farmer even found a broken pot and boiled hot water.

He took out a paper bag from his arms, which was filled with some crude tea leaves, handed it to Fu Yunshen, and said enthusiastically: "Drink a cup of hot tea to drive away moisture." ”

Fu Yunshen politely refused: "My wife is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to drink strong tea, just drink plain water." ”

The farmer smiled innocently: "Congratulations! ”

A person who was standing at the door wearing a hat and had never shown his face, heard Fu Yunshen's words, but suddenly glanced over here, and immediately turned back.

Zhou Jingrong felt that the man was strange at first, so he kept observing him, and just collided with his gaze.

A brief moment of looking at each other was enough for Zhou Jingrong to recognize the other party: "Cheng Fei? ”

The farmer looked at Zhou Jingrong and said in surprise: "You know Mr. Cheng?" ”

Zhou Jingrong was very surprised, she didn't expect to meet Cheng Fei who had not been seen for a long time in such a place.

The farmer was very enthusiastic and talkative, and said to himself: "Mr. Cheng is a good person, he has traveled here, set up a school in the village, taught the children to read and write, and we are reluctant to let him go......

Cheng Fei was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Jingrong pulled Fu Yunshen to take the initiative to go over to say hello: "Mr. Cheng, why don't you pretend not to know?" ”

Listening to Zhou Jingrong's cheerful voice, Cheng Fei's originally tense and awkward mood suddenly relaxed, and replied with a smile: "The world is so big, there is nowhere to stay, so I traveled around." ”

With the fall of Ling Xie, Cheng Zhiling, who had been his henchman, was also sentenced to exile. Because of his role as a tainted witness and meritorious report, the prince took action to save the Cheng family.

Cheng Fei had no sense of belonging to that home, and after experiencing ups and downs, his mood also changed, so he left home and traveled alone.

Zhou Jingrong said enviously: "Very good, I also want to travel the world and see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers this time!" It's a pity that there was such an accident. ”

Zhou Jingrong said, touching her stomach with a melancholy face, Fu Yunshen carefully protected her, and her eyes were full of her.

Cheng Fei suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour, his eyes moved to the rain curtain outside, and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled back: "Thank you!" ”

The rain did not stop until the evening, and the farmers also figured out that Fu Yunshen and the others were officials who were going to envoy to other countries.

The farmer warmly invited Fu Yunshen and others to the village to spend Chinese New Year's Eve: "Adults, our village is not far ahead, if you don't dislike it, come to us for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" ”

"Yes, don't rush on Chinese New Year's Eve, rest your feet!"

The mission could not convince the enthusiasm of the villagers, and there was nowhere to stay in the vicinity, so they went to the village to spend the night.

The smell of the New Year in the village is very strong, every household has hung red lanterns, the children's chasing and playing makes the village look vibrant, and the aroma of various meals from each house is intertwined, making Zhou Jingrong, who has eaten four meals a day, feel hungry again.

In the evening, Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen stayed at the village chief's house, and the two of them sat under the grape trellis in the yard, listening to the occasional and sporadic sound of firecrackers in the distance, and looking at the bright galaxy overhead.

Zhou Jingrong felt very curious, and said to Fu Yunshen: "It's the first time I've had a Chinese New Year's Eve without snow!" ”

Fu Yunshen said: "Well, so am I." ”

Zhou Jingrong thought for a while and said, "It's also the first time I haven't spent Chinese New Year's Eve with many people. ”

Fu Yunshen hugged Zhou Jingrong, put his hand on her stomach, and said softly: "You don't need many people, it's good for us to be together as a family." ”

Zhou Jingrong's hand was covered on Fu Yunshen's hand, and his heart was full, but no, their family was really neatly together!

Zhou Jingrong patted Fu Yunshen's hand on the stomach, and said proudly: "This kid is very well-behaved, I like him a little." ”

Fu Yunshen laughed, and just wanted to say that you didn't like him all along, but suddenly felt a movement under his hand.

Zhou Jingrong also felt it, and the two glanced at each other, and were stunned at the same time.

Fu Yunshen was the first to react, and hurriedly got up and squatted in front of Zhou Jingrong, at a loss: "You, how are you, is it painful?" ”

Zhou Jingrong looked at Fu Yunshen's nervous but very silly behavior, and couldn't help laughing: "What have you learned during this time, this is fetal movement!" The little one hears us and responds to us! ”

"Yes, is that so?" Fu Yunshen was still very worried: "Then will you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Zhou Jingrong's heart swelled with a warm current, gently stroked Fu Yunshen's face, and said gently: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm very happy." ”

Fu Yunshen held Zhou Jingrong's hand and printed a pious kiss: "I'm also very happy, Rongrong." ”

The next day, the mission said goodbye to the villagers and set out on the journey again.

Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen rode away and waved goodbye to Cheng Fei.

Zhou Jingrong suddenly felt a little sad: "You say, will we meet again?" ”

Fu Yunshen wanted to say that he didn't really want to see Cheng Fei again, but in order to comfort Zhou Jingrong, he still said wrongly: "Yes, one day, we will meet again." ”

Cheng Fei looked at the carriage that had left from afar, and muttered words that were too late to say: "I'm sorry, thank you, cherish." ”
