Chapter 124 Sending Off
The bridge folds the willows, and the long pavilion is farewell. At last on the day of parting, the heavens were not beautiful, and the goose feathers and snow fell from the first night, and did not stop for a moment, and the ground was already covered with thick snow.
Outside the Baqiao Station, there are not many people who come to see off Yongning. Only Fang Xuanling and his wife, Fang Xuanling and his wife, Princess Gaoyang and Yuan Tiangang are a few people. Yuan Tiangang accompanied Fang Xuanling and Song Mingzi to talk about the itinerary, and Lian Jue stood next to him to listen. Fang Yizhi, Mrs. Lu, Du Shi, and Princess Gaoyang were all around Yongning.
Mrs. Lu half-hugged Yongning, who was lightly dressed, shed tears vigorously, and said with distress in her eyes: "Even if you want to go, wait for the snow to stop before leaving, such a big snow...... I don't know what your father is anxious about, if I want to say, it is to let you travel to broaden your knowledge, and you should wait for the end of the New Year, when the spring flowers bloom, and then make a decision, now this day......" She looked at the snow, turned around and glared at Fang Xuanling fiercely.
"Mother......" Yongning took the small burden behind his back, and said with a smile: "If you leave early and leave late, you have to go, but you missed this year's cold winter, and next year's cold winter will also be outside...... Entering the road is a long-cherished wish of her daughter since she was a child, and now she can achieve her wish, and her daughter does not think it is bitter" She said very seriously, this is really true, although she is attached to the warmth of the Fang family, but the life in Chang'an really makes her feel depressed.
Mrs. Lu is actually just talking about it, she also knows that for the sake of the selection of concubines for King Jin, Yongning is really not good to stay in Chang'an now, wait for the last two or three years, things will fade a little, and then take Yongning back, return the customs, and talk about family affairs...... Anyway, Yongning is still young now, and he can afford this little time.
Fang Yizhi and Du Shi looked at Yongning's little burden, and they both frowned, originally whether it was the Fang family or Princess Gaoyang, they had prepared a lot of property for Yongning, and even Princess Jinyang and Li Zhi secretly sent a lot of things to add to the one prepared by Princess Gaoyang, but Yongning only took a few silver cakes, a few pieces of money, and some clothes and other commonly used things to pack such a small bag, and the others were sent back.
After they met Song Mingzi and Lian Jue today, they knew why Yongning made such a trade-off - these two combined are just a small burden, the kind that can't be seen if they don't look carefully on Lian Jue's body. In addition, after seeing the dusty character of these two senior uncles and senior brothers, they were really embarrassed to send dozens of family members to drive more than a dozen big cars to help Yongning pull luggage......
"My little sister only brings these things, how can I use them if the road is short?" Du Shi can be regarded as growing up watching Yongning since he was a child, and the relationship between his aunt and sister-in-law is very strong, and he can't help but worry that Yongning, who was raised in brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child, will suffer outside.
Fang Yizhi also nodded with a worried face, he has always disapproved of letting Yongning travel, he thinks that Yongning is dedicated to entering the Tao, and he should also build a Taoist temple for her to practice, how can there be a reason for a girl to run around? If there is any danger outside, people must not worry about death? He frowned tightly, and kept peeking at Master Song Mingzi's apprentice, he was not sure if these two could protect Yongning.
Mrs. Lu reached out and touched the small burden behind Yongning, also frowned and sighed, and asked Yongning in a low voice: "The plain belt I asked people to send to you yesterday, can you put it in the package?" ”
Yongning nodded and said, "When Sister Su Lan sent it, she said that it was sewn by her mother, and she told me to carry it with me......
Mrs. Lu stroked the snowflakes that fell on Yongning's shoulders and said, "I sewed a string of pearls into that belt, if the money on the road is not enough, you can take it to the pawnshop to exchange money...... However, you must be careful when you take it, you must know that the wealth is not exposed, go out, be careful of getting into trouble......" She babbled again about the precautions for going out, she has pulled Yongning to say those words in the past few days, I don't know how many times, but I still keep saying it repeatedly when I get the opportunity, for fear that Yongning will suffer a loss if he is careless outside.
When Yongning listened to Mrs. Lu talk about this yesterday, he secretly hated her nagging in his heart, but when he heard the same words again, he only felt very sad today, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. "Mother's ......" Yongning couldn't help but throw herself into Mrs. Lu's arms.
Mrs. Lu hugged Yongning and cried bitterly, and Du Shi also shed tears on the side, but it was Princess Gaoyang, standing there and looking in the direction of Chang'an, as if waiting for someone. Yongning naturally discovered Princess Gaoyang's abnormality, and she also knew that Princess Gaoyang must have told Li Zhi about her departure from Chang'an today, but she, like Princess Gaoyang, was not sure whether Li Zhi would come to send it.
Yongning's mood was a little complicated, looking forward to Li Zhi's coming, but also looking forward to him not coming......
"Yongning-" Fang Xuanling didn't know when she came to Mrs. Lu and Yongning, the Fang family had never called her by Yongning's Taoist name, as if she was called like that, she was no longer a member of the Fang family, Fang Xuanling gently helped Yongning up from Mrs. Lu's arms, looked at her seriously several times, and then sighed lightly and said, "After all, my father misunderstood you"
Yongning bowed and said, "The road is taken by the daughter herself, what does it have to do with her father?" This is her daughter's own choice, no matter how hard it is, her daughter will not regret it, let alone give up halfway" After coming to Datang for so many years, she has indeed never done anything that really disobeys her will, and everything is acceptable within the bottom line.
"You ......" Looking at Yongning who treated him calmly like this, Fang Xuanling suddenly didn't know what to say to this daughter, and he suddenly understood what Yuan Tiangang and Song Mingzi said to him just now - even if she travels far away, Yongning doesn't need anyone to worry, she has the ability to take care of herself......
"My daughter will take care of her own ......" Yongning half-held his head high, Ren Qiang's tears slowly slipped for a while, and said with a light smile: "Father and mother don't have to worry about their daughter, not only will their uncle and brother take care of them on this trip, but also their daughter will be able to take care of herself...... Fathers and mothers should also take good care, so that their daughters can't feel at ease in a foreign land......"
Fang Yi saw that Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Lu were very sad about Yongning's words, so he quickly rubbed the corners of his eyes twice, patted Yongning's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father and mother have me and your sister-in-law to take care of, where do you need to worry about it?" You just take care of yourself and don't let us worry...... Remember to send letters home from time to time, even if it is inconvenient at the post station, you can also go to those dart shops to deliver them, just tell them to go to the house to get the reward money, it is ......"
The Tang people are still martial, and most of the young rangers will take root when they are old, and the business of the dart shop is done everywhere, but the scope is wider than that laid by the post station. And Chang'an is the capital of the country, as long as it is a larger dart shop, there are many fixed convoys of people and horses to and from Chang'an, and it is extremely cheap to transport goods and send letters.
Yongning has long been made up by Fang Yi's love and dislike for many survival doorways in the market, and he is no stranger to dart walking, and when he heard Fang Yi mention it, he quickly nodded yes. Over there, Song Mingzi and Lian Jue had obviously finished saying goodbye to Yuan Tiangang, and were standing not far away waiting for Yongning, she subconsciously glanced back at the direction of Chang'an, the white expanse was empty, and sighed lightly in her heart, as if she didn't see Princess Gaoyang's anxious state, she took two steps back, knelt down in the snow, and bowed her head three times to say goodbye to her parents......
Mrs. Lu squatted down and pulled Yongning up, stretched out her hand to pat the snow stains on her robe, and said distressedly: "The snow is so big, where is this road easy to walk, and you have never suffered since you were a child, why don't you let Brother Dong drive a carriage to give you a ride......
Fang Xuanling frowned and walked over and pressed Mrs. Lu's shoulder, stopped her words, only waved his sleeves to Yongning, and said, "Go" and helped Mrs. Lu to turn sideways and stop looking at her.
Yongning was also sad in her heart, but this sadness couldn't suppress her yearning for freedom, and with a deep sigh, she strode towards Song Mingzi and Lian Jue.
"Yongning-" Princess Gao Yang took two quick steps, grabbed Yongning's sleeve, and whispered, "Wait a little longer, he said he was coming......"
Yongning took a deep breath, slowly pulled his sleeve out of Princess Gaoyang's hand, and replied in the same low voice: "Whether he comes or not, whether I wait or not, it will be useless, it will only cause sadness...... See each other as if you don't see ......"
In the vast and gentle white snow, Yongning followed behind Song Mingzi and Lian Jue without landing a single step, gradually moving away, and finally drowned in a snow.
Mrs. Lu couldn't cry for a long time, and even Fang Xuanling shed two lines of turbid tears after Yongning turned away. Fang Zhizhi was worried that the two elders were old, for fear that they would not be able to stand it, so he whispered to persuade them to take the car back, and Yuan Tiangang also came over to persuade a few words, and comforted Mrs. Lu Yongning There were arrangements along the way, and she would not be allowed to make any mistakes, so that Mrs. Lu could be regarded as a little relieved.
Princess Gao Yang was afraid that she was the most disappointed among these people, she informed Li Zhi early, and sent someone to the palace early this morning to remind him, but he still failed to show up in the end. Princess Gaoyang felt that she couldn't understand what Yongning and Li Zhi were thinking anymore, if they were ruthless to each other, but the tacit understanding when they got along was not fake, but if they were affectionate to each other, how could they bear not to meet, not talk, and not contact? Sitting in the frame, she still kept thinking about Yongning and Li Zhi, and still couldn't come up with a result......
When the people who saw them off had left, the Baqiao Station, which had never opened the door, quietly opened a door......
Li Zhi stood in the snow and looked in the direction of Yongning's departure from afar, letting the snowflakes fall on his face, wet his cheeks, but he didn't know whether it was melting snow or tears......
