[Chapter 6, Volume 6]
Section 213 Chapter 213 Leaving Beijing
Princess Jingrou finally got married, and she also alarmed half of the people in Beijing. On the day of the send-off, the long queue made the entire Jingshi discuss for a month, and then it slowly subsided and turned into other topics. And Lu Xiang'er also quietly came out of Beijing at this time. The path she is going to take is the route taken by the send-off team.
"Xiang'er, don't take too long, if you don't feel comfortable sitting in the car, stop and rest......" Lu Erniang grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand with a reluctant face, and kept telling Lu Xiang'er what to pay attention to along the way. Although Lu Xiang'er had listened to the change, she still stopped seriously, nodding her head in agreement from time to time.
Not far away, next to Huo Qingsong's modified carriage, Song Yuan and Lu Hong were explaining something to Huo Bao, who was leading the horse. Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, with the help of Lu Yun and Lu Wei, put the things on their carriage into the big carriage. And next to the two wagons carrying goods behind the carriage, ten men in the same costume but full of fierce air were inspecting the carriage.
Seeing that Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing were about to finish their work, looking over here, Lu Xiang'er smiled at Lu Erniang and said, "A-Niang, don't worry, it's not like I haven't been far away." From Gangneung Mansion to Jingshi, I'm afraid it's not as far as this journey. ”
"You girl thinks A-Niang talks too much, and tells you that Jiangling Mansion to Jingshi is a lenient official. And when you go to the frontier, there will be no official road to go after Huaifeng Mansion, so don't complain when the time comes. Lu Erniang looked at Lu Xiang'er's eyes and knew that she wanted to talk to Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, so she glanced at Lu Xiang'er and went to Song Yuan.
Lu Xiang'er smiled at Lu Xiang'er, then turned to Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, and said regretfully: "I can't watch your wedding, don't blame me." ”
Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "We are friends, how can we blame you." It's you, and we're so envious. ”
"No, if it weren't for the wedding, I would like to go with you. I heard that the people in the frontier are open, and the little lady is much freer than here in Beijing. Huo Qingqing said, and a yearning look appeared in his eyes, which made Lu Xiang'er and Wen Yao couldn't help but smile.
After laughing, Lu Xiang'er glanced at the direction of the city gate, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that Sister Chaoxia, who is the princess, can't leave the house by the way." Before leaving, she could only go to the prince's mansion to see her. ”
Listening to Lu Xiang'er's regret, Wen Yao's eyes flashed, and she immediately interjected the topic, and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, just like you said, it's not like you're not coming back." When you get back, we'll be sitting together again, chatting and laughing. ”
"Yes, Xiang'er. My brother is just going to see off his relatives, and when you meet at the border, won't you come back? After Huo Qingqing finished speaking, his expression was a little annoyed, and he said: "Brother is really, can't you just get married when you come back, I have to take you to get married on the road." At this time, I was anxious, and I went early. ”
"You girl, if it weren't for Xiang'er, you think Brother Huo would have waited until today." Seeing that there was no one nearby, Wen Yao said a bold word. Lu Xiang'er glanced at her in surprise, and sighed, what a talented girl who is a beautiful girl and a famous Beijing teacher, she was spoiled by herself.
While laughing, Song Yuan was already reminding him that it was not too early and it was time to set off. At this time, the smile on Lu Xiang'er's face suddenly disappeared. No matter how much you comfort yourself before, when it's time to part, this sadness will definitely appear. Lu Xiang'er got into the carriage and looked at Lu Erniang leaning on Song Yuan from the car window, she had already begun to wipe her tears, and she was also very uncomfortable.
Lu Hong stood next to Wen Yao, looking at Lu Xiang'er in the car, and there was always a thought in his heart that kept flashing, and he wanted to give Lu Xiang'er a ride very much. But when he thought of something, he still held back, but his mouth couldn't stop sighing. Wen Yao glanced at Lu Hong, shook his head slightly, and walked to the side of the carriage.
Lu Xiang'er looked at Wen Yao's eyes, which were also a little red, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yao'er, when you come back, you may have to call your sister-in-law." Trouble sister-in-law to do her filial piety for Xiang'er, and visit A-Niang a lot. And my brother, sometimes, he will always be bored in his heart when he encounters any difficulties, and if you don't ask, he will definitely not say it. And ......"
"Xiang'er, okay, if you say it again, I'm really crying." Wen Yao had tears in her eyes, bit her lip and forced a smile. And after scanning the left and right with his gaze, Wen Yao took a step forward and whispered: "Xiang'er, go another way, there are surprises waiting for you, let's start quickly." ”
"Ah, what surprise?" Lu Xiang'er was stunned and just wanted to ask, but Wen Yao had already retreated to Lu Hong's side.
Under Song Yuan's signal, Huo Bao made a gesture, turned over on the horse with the ten people, and escorted the three carriages to move forward slowly. Looking at Lu Xiang'er in the distance, Lu Erniang opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say, she just looked straight at her daughter.
Lu Hong watched Lu Xiang'er go away, and the reluctance in his heart was no less than that of Lu Erniang. When he came to Beijing from Jiangling Mansion, Lu Hong swore in his heart that he would never leave Lu Xiang'er behind. Now, Lu Hong can only watch Lu Xiang'er go away and hand her over to another person. Lu Hong's eyes flashed, and he said silently in his heart, Brother Huo, Xiang'er will be handed over to you. If you let Xiang'er get hurt, even if you are the one I admire, I will not let you go.
Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing were similar to Lu Erniang, and they didn't hold back the tears in their eyes, and let them flow out. Lu Xianger is not just a friend for the two. If there was no Lu Xiang'er, how could the two of them, as young ladies from a wealthy family, have such a colorful experience. Now that Lu Xiang'er is gone, the two may have to go back to the old days.
"Let's go back." Song Yuan looked at the few people around him and shook his head, and then helped Lu Erniang into the carriage. Seeing that Lu Erniang's mood had not improved, Song Yuan said in a low voice: "Erniang, didn't I say it, it is also good for Xiang'er to leave Jingshi." If Xiang'er stays, when Concubine Xiang comes to her senses, she will be in danger. ”
"I know, I'm just a little reluctant." Lu Erniang also knew from Concubine Song that Concubine Xiang had hated Lu Xiang'er. In her heart, she completely ignored Princess Jingrou's coercion of Lu Xiang'er. She just thought that if it weren't for Lu Xiang'er, Princess Jingrou would not have been able to marry so far.
However, if Lu Xiang'er leaves Jingshi, will she be safe? Lu Erniang suddenly thought of this question, couldn't help but look at Song Yuan, and said hurriedly: "Zicheng, Concubine Xiang hates Xiang'er so much, will it ......?"
"Erniang, don't worry. Have you forgotten that Xiang'er is not only protected by green pine, but also by someone who is more tightly attached to Xiang'er than green pine. Song Yuan's tone was very meaningful, Lu Erniang really remembered something, and hesitated: "You mean ......?"
"Grandfather, why are you here?" Lu Xiang'er looked at the loyal and brave king who was looking at her with a smile in front of her, and the surprise on her face was not adulterated.
When Lu Xiang'er was sitting in the car, she was thinking about the surprise that Wen Yao said. Although she had some vague speculations in her heart, she was not sure. After all, King Zhongyong is not an ordinary person, and it is impossible for him to go back and forth without anyone paying attention. So when she saw King Zhongyong again, Lu Xianger got the news, and she was still the same surprise.
Huo Bao and the others seemed to have known for a long time, and after seeing Li Xingzhou, they dismounted and scattered with the ten people, paying attention to everything around them. Luyun and Luwei didn't know anything, and they were very surprised to see King Zhongtong here. And when she heard Lu Xiang'er's title, the mood of the two maids can be imagined.
Lu Xiang'er did it intentionally, she smiled at the two maids, and said, "You don't have to go down, I'll talk to my grandfather, and we'll continue our journey." ”
"Got it, little lady." From Lu Xiang'er's smile, Lu Yun and Lu Wei felt that Lu Xiang'er had no malicious intent, and their hearts were a lot more stable. Thinking of Lu Xianger's trust in the two, the two maids couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the same look in each other's eyes.
"Aren't you afraid, girl?" Li Xingzhou obviously heard Lu Xiang'er's salutation, and immediately showed a smile on his face, and then patted her head very affectionately, but he didn't look at the two maids in the car.
Lu Xiang'er blinked, took Li Xingzhou's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandfather is not afraid, what is Xiang'er afraid of." ”
"Okay, she is worthy of being Sanniang's daughter, and she has the demeanor of our Li family." After Li Xingzhou laughed, he stroked his beard and turned his head, and smiled at the carriage: "Yu'er, Xiang'er is not afraid, what are you afraid of." ”
"Sister Chaoxia?!" If Li Xingzhou's appearance surprises Lu Xianger, Chaoxia's appearance will make Lu Xiang'er even more surprised. Before, Lu Xiang'er said to Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing that Chaoxia's identity at this time was different, and every time she went out of the house, she was hugged from front to back, and it was impossible to send Lu Xiang'er at all, it was too ostentatious.
As the words fell, Chaoxia's face finally emerged from behind the curtain. She saw Lu Xiang'er's surprised expression, and there was also a smile on her face. Compared with before, Chaoxia, who was a new wife, added a touch of charm, a lot of graceful temperament, and looked at the green clouds and green micro on the opposite car, and they all showed amazing expressions.
"Girl, today my grandfather invited Yu'er to the palace so that he could bring her out." Li Xingzhou raised his head, obviously waiting for Lu Xiang'er's thanks.
Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia smiled at each other, then took Li Xingzhou's hand again, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, Xiang'er thank you for your old man's help and let my cousin come to send Xiang'er." Xiang'er has already instructed Uncle Mu Sheng to send you a jar of soju every month, which is brewed by Xiang'er herself. ”
"That's pretty much it." When Li Xingzhou heard 'soju', his eyes immediately flashed, and he nodded with satisfaction. And Lu Xiang'er whispered to Chaoxia, Chaoxia knew those instructions, Lu Erniang must have said it many times, just told Lu Xiang'er to bring her a letter after arriving safely.
In the end, Li Xingzhou took out two more letters, stuffed them into Lu Xiang'er's hands, and said softly: "Xiang'er, it's not too early, you should also set off, otherwise you will have to sleep in the wild." Everything my grandfather wants to say is written in the letter, so you can read it on the way. And this one, you can give it to your uncle. ”
"Grandfather, Xiang'er has written it down." Lu Xiang'er put away the two letters, got into the carriage again, and walked away under the gaze of Li Xingzhou and Chaoxia. When she couldn't see the two of them, Lu Xianger opened the letter that Li Xingzhou wrote to herself. Looking at the rows of vigorous and powerful black letters, Lu Xiang'er shed tears again, but there was a happy smile on her face.
