Chapter 49: Departure

Because Sanniang had already condemned her mother-in-law to guard the second gate, Wang Jing was told that she was going to Sun's place when she returned to the house as soon as she returned from school. After Wang Jing listened to Sun's instructions, he returned to Hefeng Courtyard and went straight to Sanniang's courtyard.

"Sister, I heard from my grandmother that we will leave for Yanzhou the day after tomorrow?" Wang Jing shouted as soon as he entered the room, with a faint excitement in his voice.

Sanniang came back from her thoughts, and looked at the young man in front of her, who was only eleven or two years old, but with a strong and straight body, who would want to be detained in a small world at this age?

"Hmm." Sanniang smiled and nodded.

Wang Jing was only happy for a while, and then immediately became depressed again: "I heard that my grandmother is very sick. ”

The letter did not name what the illness was, and the illness was so sudden, presumably because he missed his mother, otherwise he would not have wanted to see us. Heart disease still needs heart medicine, maybe my grandmother will get better when she sees us sick. Sanniang comforted.

Wang Jing's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "What my sister said makes sense." This is the first time we have gone to see my grandmother, sister, what do you think we need to prepare? I heard that my uncle has two cousins, should we prepare some greeting gifts? ”

Sanniang smiled and nodded: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, and the matter of the meeting gift will be handed over to my brother, and you have to prepare Sanniang's share together." ”

Wang Jinghan smiled and touched his head: "Sister, you can rest assured, then I'll go and prepare first." ”

Sanniang got up and sent Wang Jing out of the house.

Not long after sitting down, Mama Chang and Mama Zhao came together.

"Third Miss." Mama Chang smiled and came forward to salute Sanniang, and said: "The slave maid has gone to the stable in the outer courtyard to instruct, and the horse pulling the cart must pick the fat and strong one, and let the special person feed it for the long trip in the past two days." The carriage and the equipment in the carriage were carefully prepared, and the list was prepared, waiting for tomorrow to be arranged from the warehouse. As for the medicinal materials given to Mrs. Zhao, the slaves and maids have all seen it, and they are all the best. Because there were only some short-lived ginseng left, the old lady specially asked the slave maid to take two hundred-year-old ginseng from her private treasury. ”

"Then how to make it, this ginseng is still kept for grandmother to use for herself, let's go to the pharmacy outside to find it, we can also find old ginseng, we don't have to use grandmother's body." Sanniang said.

Mama Chang smiled when she heard this: "Third Miss, you don't know, the old lady said, there are some shops outside, but there are no good ones." Even if there is a thick-looking ginseng that looks like an old ginseng, it is a whole ginseng cut into several sections, and then some ginseng that is either short or has lost its medicinal effect for a long time is connected to it. For those who are used to using ginseng, this kind of fake ginseng is also easy to distinguish, if you accidentally send the fake ginseng to the Zhao family, wouldn't it make the Wang family faceless? ”

Sanniang gave up and only said: "I am young and inexperienced, so I don't understand this." Then it's bothering Mama to worry about you. ”

"Miss, don't worry, there are still slaves and maids. The slave maid thought, the cushion and bedding are still good for what you are used to at home, and there are some daily utensils that you are used to, so I called Chang Mama to take a look. After Mama Zhao finished saying to Sanniang, she turned her head and said to Mama Chang: "Let's see if that set of jade-colored satin mattress cushions matches the color of the car circumference, or do you use that set of brocade Rong?" ”

Mama Chang saluted Sanniang and followed Mama Zhao out.

Sanniang looked at these people in a hurry, smiled and shook her head. She, as a young lady, didn't have to do anything, just waited for everyone to get everything ready to go.

On the second day, with the cooperation of Mama Zhao and Mama Chang, the preparations for the trip were almost done. So when I had to go early in the morning of the third day, I was not as busy as the morning when I went to Qingming Temple.

"Miss, do you want to bring all this?" Sanniang had finished dressing up, and was waiting for Wang Jing to come and go to Songling Courtyard to say goodbye to Sun, when Bai Ying came with a stack of books and asked.

Sanniang raised her eyes and saw that the books she often reads on weekdays were all packed up by Bai Ying.

"Just grab a book or two and relieve your fatigue on the road." In fact, even reading a book in the RV is a big test for the eyes, and Sanniang doesn't think that books can be used as a pastime tool in the carriage here.

"Yes, miss. The slave maid brought a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, in case the young lady wants to practice calligraphy and painting, it is better to use the pen and ink that she is used to. After speaking, he didn't wait for Sanniang to agree, and turned around.

"Miss, the fifth young master and the fifth young lady are here." As soon as Bai Guo's words fell, two figures, one tall and one short, entered the house.

"Third sister, are you going to leave today?" Wu Niang crossed Wang Jing, ran over quickly, and asked by pulling Sanniang's sleeve.

"Yes, I'll leave after saying hello to my grandmother." Sanniang replied with a smile.

"You don't tell me, I just heard Yugui talk about it." Wu Niang glanced at San Niang and lowered her head, her voice was a little aggrieved.

Sanniang paused and comforted: "I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I delayed because I wanted to get some gifts to bring over, but it was mine." ”

Wang Jing on the side grinned and said, "Don't you know it now?" ”

I didn't want Wu Niang to look up at Wang Jing angrily when she heard this: "How is that the same! Now even the fourth and sixth sisters know about it, no, they all knew it earlier than me. Wu Niang was even more aggrieved when she said this, tears were rolling in her eyes, "The third sister and the fifth brother refused to tell me anything." With that, he turned and ran.

"Fifth sister." Sanniang shouted, but Wuniang had already run out of the yard.

"Fifth sister, what's wrong with her? What did I say wrong? Wang Jing was dumbfounded.

Sanniang shook her head and said, "It's not your brother who provoked you." Well, she must have gone to her grandmother's yard, so let's go too. ”

Wang Jing nodded when he heard this.

The brother and sister went to Sun's Songling Courtyard, and Sun told the two again. People from other rooms have also arrived.

After listening to Sun's explanation, Sanniang and Wang Jing went to salute the Bai family and greet their brothers and sisters.

"It's good that you're here, and you've justifiably skipped class." Wang Ji took advantage of Sun's lack of attention and hooked his arm, and put his arm around Wang Jing's neck and went to the side.

Sanniang walked to her place and sat down, chatted with Yuan Niang for a few words, and looked at Wu Niang, but saw that she deliberately turned her face to the side. Yuan Niang also saw it, so she asked and looked at Sanniang, who smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to ask Yuan Niang to wait for a while to explain Wu Niang, Sun had already spoken: "It's not too early, Brother Jing and Sanniang will set off here, they have already made an appointment with Mrs. Wei to meet with the Liuting Pavilion outside the city at two o'clock, don't be too late to make people wait." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Wang Jing also came over and bowed down with Sanniang.

"De'an's family." Sun suddenly shouted outward.

"The slave is here." I saw a taller woman with a disc face walking in, apparently waiting by the door.

"The De'an family went to Yanzhou with you this time, you are young, if you don't understand anything, let her help you make up your mind. She has been with me for decades, and her knowledge is better than the average person. Sun pointed to Sanniang and Wang Jing of the De'an family and said, "Shout out Mama Zhang." ”

Sanniang had heard of this Mama Zhang and knew that she was one of Sun's henchmen. Mama Zhang was a girl in Sun's room when she was young, and later married Wang De'an, an entourage next to the old lady. Now Wang Dean is the head of the Wang family's outer courtyard, and the Zhang family is also mainly in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard and the personal relations with various governments.

Sanniang knew that she couldn't be lazy, so she hurriedly pulled Wang Jing to step forward and salute. I didn't want Mama Zhang to salute them first, and said with a smile: "The old lady arranged for the slaves and maids to follow the car, mainly to serve the diet and daily life of the fifth young master and the third young lady. The young master went out for the first time, and the old lady was not at ease, so she pulled the slave and maid yesterday to give thousands of instructions. ”

Sun said: "You can also afford their courtesy, why hide from that." ”

Mama Zhang smiled and said, "Young master and young lady, you are willing to give face to the slave and maid in front of you, and the slave and maid are heartbroken." But if you really feel at ease, then the slave and maid themselves will be shameless. ”

"You're the one who can't hold up the wall." Sun glared at Mama Zhang, but Mama Zhang squinted her eyes and smiled and did not refute.

"Our Wang family has another courtyard in Yanzhou, it doesn't sound like you go to Yanzhou to live outside, wait until you arrive in Yanzhou and rest in the courtyard, Wang De'an has sent someone to send a letter the day before yesterday, and when you get there, the courtyard must have been cleaned up." Sun said again.

Sanniang sighed in her heart, although the Sun family allowed them to go to Yanzhou for the sake of face, there was always some emotion in her heart. even disliked the Zhao family as a businessman, so he refused to let them live in the Zhao Mansion. The Wang family has a courtyard in Yanzhou, they are the descendants of the Wang family, and others who live in their own courtyard can't say anything.

Although Sanniang thought about these things in her heart, she responded respectfully on her face.

Sun nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, you can set off." ”

Sanniang and Wang Jing stepped forward again and respectfully kowtowed goodbye to Sun.

"We're sending the fifth brother and the third sister, and it's time to go to school." Wang Ji said to Sun.

Sun nodded in agreement.

Yuan Niang also stood up and said, "The granddaughter will also send them to the second gate." ”

Sun waved his hand: "You all go." Just remember not to delay their departure, and they will be back in a few days. In my heart, I was very satisfied with the picture of this brother and brother.

Sun's words, Siniang and Liuniang had to get up and send each other, but there was some reluctance in their eyes.

The brothers and sisters talked and laughed and walked towards the second gate.

Sanniang glanced at Wu Niang, who was still tilting her head and ignoring people, and said to Yuan Niang with a smile: "I heard that there is a kind of pottery doll called child model in Yanzhou Mansion, each one is no more than two or three inches tall, and the face is lifelike. There are also sets of story characters such as "Chang'e Running to the Moon" and "Erlang Saving Mother", which are packed in a large box with exquisite carvings and living utensils for villains, which is very interesting. ”

Yuan Niang also glanced at Wu Niang and said with a smile: "Is there really such an interesting thing?" You will definitely bring back a set of those three sisters, so that I can open my eyes. ”

"That's for sure, I must be the first to show my big sister when the time comes." Sanniang and Yuanniang sang and harmonized, and sure enough, Wuniang couldn't help but quietly glanced over here a few times. Sanniang and Yuan Niang looked at each other and smiled.

"What's the good thing, the third sister shouldn't favor one over the other." Liuniang, who was also listening quietly on the side, hurriedly spoke.

Without waiting for Sanniang to answer, Wuniang jumped over and hugged Sanniang's arm, and said anxiously: "If there is anything good, the third sister will also show me first." After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was still angry with Sanniang, and looked at the two arms that were still holding Sanniang's arms, Wuniang's face was a little sneering, and he didn't look up.

Sanniang smiled when she saw this, and deliberately whispered in Wu Niang's ear behind everyone's back. Wu Niang's eyes lit up instantly, and then bent into a crescent moon.
