Chapter 456: Parting Time
Bai Wan'er listened to Xiao Cui's words. She also fell into deep thought. Bai Wan'er thought to herself. It looks like it's about your own marriage. Over the years, I have really given too little thought to myself. Her idea is to be by her parents' side all the time. But I didn't expect that this idea of my own over the years was indeed wrong. And it's a big mistake.
Xiao Cui saw that her young lady didn't speak for a long time. She was a little panicked. Xiao Cui wondered if her own words were too much. Really said that Miss was not happy. But Xiao Cui felt that she was not wrong. Just when Xiao Cui judged whether she was doing something wrong. Her ears came the crisp and beautiful voice of her own young lady.
At this time, Bai Wan'er turned her head to look at her maid. He rarely said seriously: "Xiao Cui. Do you know. All these years I just wanted to be by my father's and mother's side. I want to be with them. Never thought of leaving them. Because I think if I get married. Then you will spend less time with them. But today I heard you say that. It looks like I'm not thinking it through."
"Miss. I know you're reluctant to leave Lord and Madame. But sooner or later you will all be separated. Miss, you know what. Once, I accidentally overheard a conversation between the lord and the lady. They say their greatest wish right now is to see you get married and have children. Really waited for that day. They can be blinded when they die."
When Xiao Cui said these words. The tone was tinged with a hint of sadness.
"Okay, little cui. I know what to do in the future. Don't be so sad. Miss, I'm not afraid to let you know. I already have someone in my heart who I like."
Her face was filled with irrepressible excitement.
"Miss, are you telling the truth? Is this person that Miss Biao likes in her heart the official who sent her to deliver a letter to the master?" Xiao Cui asked excitedly.
"I won't tell you."
After Bai Wan'er said this, she continued to turn her head to face the mirror. kept combing her with a comb and brushing her inky 'jade' hair.
"Oops. Miss. Say it quickly. Is it him?" Xiao Cui grabbed her young lady's arm with both hands. Keeps shaking. Very interested asked.
But no matter what Xiaocui asked. Bai Wan'er just kept her mouth shut.
About a stick of incense has passed. The sky outside has brightened. Xiao Cui saw that no matter how soft and hard she was, she was hard to bubble. My own lady just doesn't speak. In the end, I had to give up.
Looking at the discouraged appearance of his maid. Bai Wan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Miss. Isn't it funny?" Xiao Cui said slightly unhappily.
"Xiao Cui. You said you were a little girl's family. You look in the mirror what you look like now. A resentful 'woman' like a woman."
Bai Wan'er said and moved the mirror in front of Xiao Cui.
That's when the . Lady Bai's voice came from outside Bai Wan'er's house.
"Wan'er. You didn't get up."
It was the voice of the lady who was heard. Xiao Cui hurriedly stood up. Walked towards the 'door' of the room.
"Squeak". The 'door' of the room was opened by Xiao Cui from the inside.
"Xiao Cui. Your young lady is up?" Madame Bai looked at Xiao Cui with a kind face and asked.
"Back to Madame's words. Miss is already up." Xiao Cui said to her wife very respectfully.
"Xiao Cui. You go out first. I have something to say to your young lady." Madame Bai looked at Xiao Cui in front of her and said undoubtedly.
Wait for Xiao Cui to leave. Madame Bai walked in front of her daughter. She took the hand of her daughter. Said meaningfully: "Wan'er. This is the first time you've left me and your father. It's also your first time going out to the 'door', so you have to take care of yourself along the way. You know what."
Bai Wan'er looked at her mother's reluctant affection at this time. She threw herself into her mother's arms. With a hoarse choking in his voice, he said, "Mother. I'll take care. I'll be back to see you soon."
Mrs. Bai looked at the 'girl' with a heartache at this time. She really wanted to tell her 'daughter' that they would move their family to Cangzhou. But in order to surprise his 'daughter'. Madame Bai couldn't help but say nothing.
It took about two teas. The mother and daughter have not finished what they want to say. If it weren't for Master Bai sending someone to urge. said that Zhang Heng was on his way. I'm afraid that the mother and daughter can talk until dark. It may not be possible to finish it then.
When Bai Wan'er accompanied her mother to her living room. Her father and Zhang Heng had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
Today, Bai Wan'er dressed herself up very carefully and seriously.
At this time, Bai Wan'er was wearing a pleated skirt of light purple 'color'. The skirt is a hand-embroidered lily 'flower' and a belt with a white 'color' bow tied around the waist. The inky 'jade' hair is combed in a very beautiful and smart bun. Bangs flutter casually on the forehead. There is an elegantness between the gestures. Between a smile and a smile. It is also a "spring" heart "rippling".
Looking at Bai Wan'er like this. Zhang Heng was a little distracted for a while. If it weren't for Steward Li's reminder. Zhang Heng will always stand there stupidly.
Facing Zhang Heng's fiery gaze. Bai Wan'er lowered her head a little embarrassed. Don't dare to face Zhang Heng's blazing heat. Hot gaze.
The white family's husband and wife watched the subtle changes between the two. Don't mention how happy I am.
"Zhang Gongzi. along the way. The old man will give my precious 'daughter' to you to take care of. If she has three long and two short. The old man will not spare you." Master Bai instructed Zhang Heng.
"Master Bai. You can rest assured. I won't let you and your wife down." Zhang Heng clenched his fists and promised.
"The old man believes in you. Well, the hour is not too early. It's time for you to hit the road." Master Bai said to his daughter' and Zhang Heng.
"Father. Mother. And the 'girl' was gone. I'll be back to see you soon." Bai Wan'er said to her parents with some reluctance.
The husband and wife of the Bai family saw that the 'daughter' they regarded as a treasure was about to leave them. The heart is a five-flavor miscellaneous bottle. Although they know it well in their hearts. They will soon be reunited with their daughters. But this moment of parting always makes people can't help but feel a kind of sadness of parting.
However, what makes the Bai family's husband 'wife' feel very gratified. My own 'daughter' is finally willing to listen to their arrangement.
Looking at the two young people in front of him, they are so compatible in terms of appearance and temperament. Let the Bai family's husband and 'wife' instantly have a feeling of harmony made in heaven.
Watching his daughter's carriage leave. Until there was no trace of the carriage anymore. The white family's husband and 'wife' turned around and went home.
"Madame. Don't be upset.' The daughter's son is just leaving us temporarily. Today we're packing up. We'll rush to Yongzhou early tomorrow morning." Master Bai comforted his wife and said.
Zhang Heng rode a horse along the way and followed Bai Wan'er's carriage. When passing through a relatively remote forest path. Zhang Heng was extremely cautious. When he was passing through this place to deliver letters from home. Because he rode extremely fast. Plus he was dressed as a servant at the time. So he didn't notice if there was anything unusual here.
At this time, because Miss Bai is there. Zhang Heng had to be careful. Just when Zhang Heng was carefully observing the surroundings. A strange voice came from his ears.
"I planted this tree. This road is my drive. To live from now on. Leave the money to buy the road." A strong man with a stubble on his face said to Zhang Heng and Bai Wan'er who were passing through this place.
Hear this voice. Bai Wan'er, who was sitting in the sedan chair, didn't feel scared. She just asked Zhang Heng outside the sedan chair, "Zhang Gongzi. Can you handle it?"
Hear Miss Bai's melodious voice. Zhang Heng said firmly: "Miss Bai rest assured. Even if it's like fighting for my 'life'. I'm going to protect you, too."
Seeing Zhang Heng answer his question like this. Bai Wan'er had a warm current in her heart. But she reacted quickly. Then he continued to Zhang Heng: "Zhang Gongzi. I don't want you to put your life on the line to protect me. I just want you to be safe. If it really doesn't work. Just give them a little money, and it will be considered a ruined disaster."
When I was in White House. Zhang Heng also felt that Miss Bai had a different affection for him. But Zhang Heng also has self-knowledge. He knows that people are rich ladies. I'm just a poor servant. There is a qualitative gap between the two people.
When Zhang Heng heard that Miss Bai cared so bluntly about herself at this time. There was an indescribable emotion and 'agitation' in his heart.
"Hey. Little white face riding a horse. You come down. Let me ride your horse." The strong man with a stubble on his face said to Zhang Heng on horseback.
"That's right. Little white face. You hurry down. Ride your horse for our boss. If not. Be careful that we're going to kill you." Some of the little Lou Lou under the strong man also shouted at Zhang Heng.
"You want to ride my horse, don't you?" Zhang Heng said calmly to these thieves standing in front of him.
"That's right. Less nonsense. Hurry down. If you don't come down again; Don't blame our brother for not showing mercy to you." The man with a stubble on his face still said unashamedly.
"Oh. Is it. I'm going to take a look today. How did you brothers show no mercy to my men?"
When Zhang Heng said this. He is fully prepared for the battle.
"Hey, hey. It seems that he is still a master who eats hard and does not eat soft. Brothers, give it to me." The big man with a stubble on his face commanded his men.
Bai Wan'er, who was sitting in a sedan chair, heard that there were a lot of people outside. She was afraid that Zhang Heng would be injured because of this. So she opened her mouth and said to the thieves outside the sedan car, "How much money do you want to buy the road?"
When the bandits heard this pleasant sound. Immediately became extremely excited.
"Boss. Did you hear me? It turns out that there is a girl sitting in this sedan chair. Listen to the voice. You don't have to look at it to know. Definitely a very watery. If you can get her back to the boss, you will be the lady of the village. Boss, you're going to live a life that is better than the gods." A bandit said teasingly.
As soon as his voice fell. All around, the playful 'lewd' laughter of the bandits rang out.
