In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, in this half a month, Jiang Jufang's body has recovered well, and Zhao's mother faintly mentioned it in a few days, saying that the Bofu is very worried, and hopes to leave for the capital Bofu as soon as possible, Jiang Jufang nodded and agreed, and then finalized the date of returning to Beijing with Zhao's mother, just tomorrow.

That night, after calling out a few girls, leaving Yi'er alone to wait in the room, Jiang Jufang took out a small box of rosewood from the box of Duobao Pavilion and handed it directly to Yi'er.

Yi'er wondered in her heart, Jiang Jufang had already spoken: "Yi'er, you are an orphan taken in by your mother back then, I grew up with you, my name is the master servant, I am actually a sister, all these years, thanks to you by my side, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive for a long time!" ”

Yi'er bit her lower lip and said, "Girl... ”

Jiang Jufang patted Yi'er's hand and said: "Speaking of which, you are four years younger than me, and it should be my sister who will take care of you, but all along, you are steady and intelligent, and you have been taking care of me meticulously!" ”

"Girl, don't say it, it's all the slave's business."

Jiang Jufang saw that there were tears in the corners of Yi'er's eyes, reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said, "Don't cry, I won't talk about this." Over the years, you have seen a lot with me, and the outsiders of Xichangbo Mansion look glamorous, in fact, it is a cannibalistic hell, and I will get married when I go back this time, I can't leave you there alone. ”

Yi'er was shocked and said, "Of course the slave won't stay in Bofu, girl, I want to marry with you!" ”

Jiang Jufang shook her head and said: "Silly girl, I am just born and raised in the outer room, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that it is not as good as a concubine, the master wants me to climb a high branch that is beneficial to his career, in order to control me, where can I make the choice of my companion and marrying girl?" ”

Yi'er couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt in front of Jiang Jufang with a plop, tears fell straight down like pearls, but her mouth said: "Girl, I beg you, you let me follow you, you go and beg the master, just me, maybe the master will agree!" ”

Jiang Jufang helped Yi'er up and said: "I have settled this matter, don't say more, this box is your deed and more than a hundred taels of silver, not much money, but it is also all my savings over the years." Seeing that Yi'er was crying a little out of breath, she held her mouth so that the crying was too loud and alarmed the girl outside, she couldn't help but gently stroked Yi'er's face, and said, "Listen to me, you take your deed and go to the yamen to get rid of the slave first, and then spend some money to get a guide to the south of the Yangtze River, and then find a place far away and live a good life!" ”

"Girl, don't you want me anymore? Don't you really want me anymore? The slave and the maid don't leave, girl, don't pick up the slave and the maid, even the dead slave and the maid will follow the girl. ”

Jiang Jufang smiled and said: "What is dead or alive, you know, now that your deed is still in my hands, I can still make some plans for you, if I return to Bofu, I can't keep your deed, it's too late to say anything!" I know what you're worried about, my marriage is a fire pit in your eyes, but in the eyes of others, it's also a good match, it depends on what you think. In fact, I'm also thinking, although the person is a little older, but there is no in-law elders, and there is no need to set rules in front of the mother-in-law when he marries, and the master's career still depends on that person, I married it, presumably the old lady will not dare to stumble at will with me, maybe, and then plan, even if the mother's spiritual position cannot enter the Jiang family ancestral hall, the incense in front of the card must be served by a special person, so look at it, it is not all bad. ”

Yi'er grew up with Jiang Jufang since she was a child, why didn't she know that these were just words to comfort her? It's just that before she could speak, Jiang Jufang said again: "Don't say it again, if you want me to be at ease and marry out without worry, you can do as I say." ”

Yi'er burst into tears, looked at Jiang Jufang's face, didn't say anything more, just knelt in front of Jiang Jufang, and knocked her head three times in a row.

Jiang Jufang received Yi'er's big gift, helped him up, and said: "Without further ado, you can go quietly tonight, remember, live a good life, and live happily!" ”

Although she was reluctant, Ke Yier also knew that Jiang Jufang had taken great pains to do so far for her, and if she failed this kindness, she was afraid that after she died, she would not have the face to see people again, so she had to wipe away her tears, stabilize her emotions, and retreat from the main room.

On the second day, the little servant in the outer courtyard set up the carriage, everything was packed up, and when she was ready to leave, Zhao's mother found out that Yi'er was not serving by Jiang Jufang's side, and when asked, Jiang Jufang only said lightly: "That girl is quite well-behaved, I released her deed yesterday and let people out!" ”

Although Mother Zhao was surprised, she was just an insignificant little girl, and she couldn't afford to compete with Jiang Jufang for such a trivial matter, so she only complained twice, and it was over.

When several carriages from Xichangbo Mansion drove out from under the Walking Mountain, Yi'er looked at the mighty group of people who were getting farther and farther away on the opposite hill, burst into tears, knelt on the mound full of rocks, and kowtowed respectfully three times again in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

Yi'er successfully removed the slave status in the Suizhou Mansion, and stuffed more than five taels of broken silver into the hands of the little official who was doing business, and then got the road guide to Pizhou, Jiangnan, but the little official asked Yi'er's surname when he registered, and Yi'er almost didn't even think about it, so he reported the surname Jiang!

Jiang Yi, is this her name in the future?

This world is more difficult for women, it is not easy for women, and it is even more difficult for a single woman who is out of the house and has no support, so when she came out of Suizhou City, Yier changed into a men's dress worn by a large family and a small girl, she was young, her body had not yet begun to develop in full swing, and she wore men's clothes.

Like the major dynasties in the past, making fine maps has always been a taboo in the government, Yier has been reading with Jiang Jufang since childhood, and she knows a few words, although she is a girl, she can be regarded as a woman raised in the boudoir.

She first inquired carefully outside the city of Suizhou, and asked clearly that there are two options for going south to the south of the Yangtze River, one is by land, but the land route is roundabout, the road is far more than three floors, and the mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to walk, the general people choose the waterway to go south, and they can't help but be convenient and fast, that is, the ship fare is also saved a lot more than the land route, just take the waterway by boat, you need to go to the waterway wharf in Beikaicheng, the capital of Lianzhou, two hundred miles away.

Yi'er made up her mind, so she hired a simple mule cart in the carriage and horse shop outside the city, the coachman was an honest middle-aged man in his early forties, the two sides negotiated the price, made a little preparation, and drove from Suizhou City.

Because this road has at least five days of travel, Yi'er does not rush to hurry, the coachman's surname is Wang, called Wang Fu, to be a safe person, because the two of them out of Suizhou City was already noon, to Shen Shi five o'clock to a market town, Wang Fu stopped the car.

At this time, it was still early, and I learned from Wang Fu that if you staggered this market town and went to the next town, you had to walk for at least three hours, and it would be late at that time. It was Wang Fu's suggestion to rest here for one night first, and then hurry up early tomorrow morning.

Yi'er was not in a hurry, and saw that Wang Fu was reasonable, so he agreed, and the two found an inn and stayed for one night, and when the second day was just after the dawn, the two set off on the road again.

At noon, I saw a simple tea house on the side of the road, although it was only early spring, compared to winter, but there was a little more heat, Wang Fu drove the mule cart for most of the day, he was already hungry and thirsty, and his mouth was dry.

At this time, just after noon, this tea house is simple, and secondly, there are not many passers-by on the official road at this time, and there are not many people in the tea house.

Yi'er was worried about Jiang Jufang in her heart, she didn't have much appetite, she only used a few pieces of dim sum and drank a few sips of tea, and Wang Fu was obviously hungry, so he swept away a few plates of dim sum, and poured down three bowls of tea in one go, so he hiccuped comfortably, looked at Yi'er, and said: "You little brothers from big families are Sven, like a girl, I can tell you, this is out of the house, don't pay attention to it so much, this meal is a serious lunch, leave here, It's still early in Wanxian County, where we stayed at night, so don't have a stomach fuss at that time. ”

This Wang Fu is a little verbose, but he is steady, and he has no bad intentions, knowing that he is kind, Yi'er only nodded, indicating that his stomach was really full, and he didn't say much, Wang Fu shook his head and didn't care about her anymore.

After filling their stomachs, the two of them had a short rest, and they saw four men on horseback and dressed as samurai, surrounded by a carriage with extraordinarily luxurious decorations, approaching from a distance.
