Chapter 40 Return to Nanfeng

Liuniang saw this Tongmo talking and talking, with a smile on her face, secretly thinking that she came from the capital, this heard that she could go back, and she was happy to be like this, it is said that it is indeed a happy event to return home after a long tour, so she congratulated Tongmo: "We are not used to living in this place, and now you can return to Beijing with your son-in-law, which is also a good thing." So he and Banniang led Tong Moyun to see the old lady.

Huang heard that Chai Nineteen had returned to Beijing and sent a gift, so he said: "It's really urgent, your son-in-law is still young, but I don't know if someone will take care of him on the road?" ”

Tong Mo replied: "Jingli sent someone to pick it up, so the old lady doesn't have to worry about it." ”

After saying some more words, Liuniang took 200 yuan and rewarded Tong Mo, and Tong Mo said goodbye and went back.

Banniang and Liuniang didn't go on the street, and looked for the cage sent by Kaitongmo, which was neatly loaded with several stacks of books, and put them in different categories, including a few scriptures for Zeng Budo, a few solitary books for Zeng Zigu, and a few wild history miscellaneous records for Banniang. There are also two medicine bags, open it and look at it, one package is high-quality blood bird's nest, and the other bag is a century-old ginseng.

Liuniang showed it to the Huang family. The blood swallow is just fine, although it is expensive, it is not impossible to buy, but the century-old ginseng is hard to find. Huang said straight in his mouth: "Why did you give such a valuable one?" While chattering, he asked Liuniang to put it away.

Banniang is also strange, Chai Nineteen's behavior is really confusing. It is said that he often sent things, and this time it was the most valuable, and the things he gave to his father were just the ones he gave to his grandmother, and the value of the second brother's lone book was not easy to calculate at all, not to mention how much silver it could be worth, but at least it was much more valuable than the old grandmother's century-old mountain ginseng.

I didn't know anyone, I met by chance on the road, and I didn't have a deep relationship with the fourth brother and the fifth brother, even if Zeng Budo and Zeng Zigu father and son were somewhat famous in Shilin, they were not worthy of being so valued by Chai Nineteen. What the hell was his idea?

I can't figure it out, so I simply threw it away, rather than thinking about it so much and not being able to think of it, it's better to wait for my dad to come back and explore what my dad means.

Not only did Banniang feel that it was inappropriate, but Huang also frowned and thought for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she found that her two granddaughters were standing beside her, so she smiled and said: "These books are also good things, let's take them quickly, go back to Nanfeng, bring them back, your second brother must be happy." ”

The two sisters carefully packed up their books and sent them to the study. Since it was still early for lunch, I told my grandmother that Wang Pingfu took them to the pen and ink shop that day, planning to buy some paints for painting.

It happened that the shopkeeper who was familiar with Wang Pingfu that day was also there, and because he saw that he was familiar with the old customer, he asked: "Two little ladies, are you planning to be better, or ordinary?" The two of them can rest assured on the price, because they are friends of the second son of the Wang family, and the villain gives the two of them a lovely price. ”

It's just a few pictures, Banniang smiled: "The store just needs to take some ordinary ones." ”

The guy in the store turned around and went to the cabinet to offer some out, Banniang chosen, asked the price, but it was very cheap, a total of only one hundred and twenty yuan, paid, the guy packed it neatly, the two carried it home, and bought some fresh vegetables by the way.

After a month like this, it was just a guest from the east and a guest from the west, the old grandmother was in good health, and because of the soup made by Banniang every day to recuperate for her, she was a lot more energetic, and her complexion was also very good.

Zeng Budo thought that last time Shilang talked about Professor Fan wanting to visit him in the state school, the master sent Uncle Huang to send a post, it happened that Professor Fan went out as a guest these days, and he couldn't go back for a while, Zeng Bu was worried about his home, and he didn't plan to stay, the old lady urged him to go back, so he called Liuniang and Banniang to pack up their things.

Liu Niang was reluctant, and finally had a sister to accompany her, so she was going back. While packing his luggage, he cried, and told Banniang: "Your body is only better now, pay more attention in the future, don't be naughty at home, my mother is about to give birth, I don't know if it's a younger brother or a younger sister, you also have to help Qi Niang and sister-in-law more." Also, my father's health is not good, you and Qi Niang usually persuade him more, don't let his old man read so late every day. ”

Banniang responded one by one, and coaxed Liuniang: "Sixth sister don't have to be sad, Linchuan is only two days away from Nanfeng, and the waterway is not difficult to walk, I will come to see you more in the future, besides, when my mother is born, I will call the fourth brother and the fifth brother to take a vacation, and send you and your grandmother back to Nanfeng to live for a few days, and you will see you soon." ”

Liuniang said angrily: "You said it easily, this comes and goes, don't spend money?" Besides, my grandmother is used to living in Linchuan, she is so old, she comes and goes, and there is nothing left, what should I do then? After thinking for a while, he said, "I see that although you are spoiled by your father and brothers on weekdays, you can be regarded as a governor and can do it, and in a few years, I will ask my grandmother to take you to serve." ”

Liuniang is already sixteen years old, and the Wang family in Nancheng County has planned to marry the family, even if she stays again, she will stay for two years at most.

Banniang sighed when she thought about it, after Liu Niang really married Nancheng County, even if it was not too far away, but it was not easy for the sisters to meet again, not to mention being someone else's daughter-in-law, how could it be compared with when she was a girl at home?

Seeing that Banniang, who had been smiling, also fell silent, Liuniang did not bear it, laughed and comforted Banniang: "I often send letters back, grandmother is still taking care of me, you and your father and mother don't worry, besides, the Wang family also often comes to take care of it, Mrs. Wu is also very filial to her grandmother, not to mention that Qi Niang is the future daughter-in-law of the Wang family, then Mrs. Wu is also the niece of her grandmother's relatives, what is really wrong, their Wang family is also a big family in Linchuan, with their help, there is nothing to worry about." ”

He also took the small clothes that he had made for his unborn brother or sister these days: "These are also collected, and I have made two pairs of shoes for you and your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, and you can take them back with you." ”

After packing up her things, Banniang persuaded Liuniang again, and the economy at home is acceptable, so that she doesn't have to work hard to take on the embroidery work outside, and she won't lose if she hurts her eyes. Liuniang responded with a smile, and the two fell asleep separately.

The next morning, when the sky was bright, Lao Huang helped carry the luggage, sent it to the hired carriage, and sent it to the dock near the water.

Because this time there was only a father and daughter, and the luggage was much less than the place where they came, and it was a time when there were frequent exchanges of merchants on the water, so they were not as lucky as last time, and they couldn't hire the whole boat. Because there were many guests on the boat, there were those who were in a hurry, so they did not stop along the way, and arrived at Nanfeng at noon the next day.

got off the boat, and annoyed Mrs. Chen's husband to hire a carriage, but in half an hour, he arrived at the door of the house.

Uncle Huang of the concierge saw the old man and Banniang come back, and helped the coachman unload the festival, Banniang paid the fare, and the three of them carried their luggage back to the hospital.

Thinking that the father and daughter had not yet had lunch on the ship, Qi Niang and sister-in-law Wu went to work in the kitchen and quickly made some simple meals.

Zeng Budo had dinner with Banniang, and was urged to go back to the room to rest. Zeng Zigu saw a lot of solitary books, so he happily went to the study with the book. In the evening, after dinner, when they went back to their rooms to sleep, Qi Niang said that Wu Sanniang had come to look for Banniang again, but I heard that Banniang had gone to Linchuan, so that's it. However, when I left, I told that when Banniang came back, I also looked forward to Tai Ruixiang to reply to a letter, so that she could come to visit.

Probably for the sake of the pattern, Banniang didn't mind, because the hour was still early, and it was not good to sleep. Banniang remembered Chai Nineteen again, so she planned to go to the second brother's house to have a look.

I got up, put on a short shirt, looked for tea, thinking that it was night, if it was brewed, I was afraid that the second brother would not sleep well at night, so I soaked it lightly, passed through the two Xinyi trees in the courtyard that were full of pink and white flowers, and took it to Zengzi's solid house in the moonlight.

Zeng Zigu was buried in the pile of books, and he didn't hear Banniang push the door in, and when Banniang put the celadon teacup on the table and called "Second Brother", Zeng Zigu raised his head and smiled at Banniang: "Eighth sister is here, if you want to see anything, just turn it over yourself, these lonely books you brought back this time are really exactly what I need, I am watching, and I will talk to Eighth Sister in a while." ”

Zeng Zigu has been working on reorganizing a complete "Warring States Policy", and among these unique books, there are a small number of missing parts of the "Warring States Policy", so Banniang has doubts about Chai Zhengchun's purpose in sending the book.

"Second brother, do you know who sent it?" Banniang saw him mention these lonely books, so she asked.

"Didn't you say that it was sent by Shiro and their classmates who you met on the road with your father?"

This second brother is really, knowing that it is just a relationship between classmates, who can give such a precious lonely book to someone like this? If you really get something you like, you'll be stupidly happy.

Banniang said angrily: "Second brother, but that Chai Zhengchun, and the fourth brother and the fifth brother are just ordinary classmates, just general friends, but they gave us such a valuable thing, the eighth sister feels strange." It stands to reason that he is a royal nobleman, and his relationship with the fourth brother and the fifth brother is only average, not to mention any friendship, why did he take the initiative to make friends with his father and give the second brother these lonely books? ”
