Chapter 20: Surprise
Xiao Zhiqiu listened, pursed his lips and smiled, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said after a while: "Miss Nalan, I will return to Kyoto the day after tomorrow!" ”
Hearing this, Nalan Biqing's body stiffened, her expression darkened, and she looked at Xiao Zhiqiu, she asked worriedly, "Then will you come over next year?" ”
"Maybe, I can't say for sure," Xiao Zhiqiu also turned his head to look at her, and saw that her expression was a little lonely, so he smiled again: "I'll write to you, Miss Nalan, even if I'm gone, we're still good friends, even if we don't have a chance to meet, but in my spare time, occasionally you think about me, and I think about you, I think we will all remember this friendship between you and me."
Nalan Biqing Zhengzheng listened, although Xiao Zhiqiu's words were to comfort her, but she felt even more sad in her heart when she heard it, she had never had this kind of sadness of parting, because she didn't have any good friends, and the people who came and went on weekdays were just girls from various families in Cui Baicheng, but she didn't care when she left.
But Xiao Zhiqiu has been curious about this person for three years, and has silently paid attention to her for three years, she has never spent so much thought on a person, obviously wants to make friends with her, but she can't let go of her face, and when the two of them really sit down and say something in their hearts today, she is leaving again.
It seems that everything has suddenly become boring, this Cui Baicheng is like empty in her eyes, her eyes are slightly red, her temperament is arrogant, she doesn't want to show her reluctance in front of Xiao Zhiqiu, so she pretends to be nothing and says lightly: "Who rarely writes to me?" Maybe I won't be in Cui Baicheng next year, even if you come over, I've already moved away! ”
Xiao Zhiqiu heard the words and asked for a levy, and suddenly figured it out again, "Is Lord Nalan going to be promoted?" Miss Nalan will write to me in the future, and I don't want to cut off the news with you. ”
Nalan Biqing turned her head to look at her, and frowned inexplicably: "Is it true?" You don't want to give up on me? The discomfort in my heart suddenly felt a little better.
It turned out that she was also a reluctant part of Xiao Zhiqiu's mind, thinking about the little joy rising between her eyebrows, she couldn't hide it if she wanted to, "Okay, I'll write you a letter every month, but if you don't reply to me once, I will ignore you in the future!" I'm not that easy to forgive! ”
Xiao Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and Nalan Biqing couldn't help laughing when she saw her laughing.
That's great!
Zhaori Zhaoyue saw it by his side, squeezed his eyes and snickered at each other, and he also felt a little more emotional, thinking how comfortable it would be to say something in his heart, if Xiao Zhiqiu and Nalan Biqing had cleared up the misunderstanding earlier, there would be no regrets.
Two days later, Xiao Zhiqiu and Fan Gumin and others took a boat to Kyoto.
The three sisters, Xiao Zhiqiu and Fan Caiqing, were on a ship sent by the Xiao family, while Fan Gumin was on another boat where the Fan family was transporting goods, and there were goods to be brought to Kyoto for sale and some gifts on board.
All the way are to take the waterway, but also safe and sound, because it is late autumn, where you pass, the scenery is like a pair of watercolor pictures, the majestic autumn scenery that can not be dyed, those red leaves in the mountains, looking from afar, chanting a few lines of poetry for fun, adding artistic conception, or the boat at night on the shore, all around is dark, looking at the silhouette of the window in the dim light of the people on the shore, a lonely lamp in the river lit by the boat passing by, those rare experiences, for everyone, are indescribable state of mind.
That night, the ship was moored on the shore as usual, and it had entered the territory of Koshu, one of the most economically prosperous cities in the country, and only two or three days away from Kyoto.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Zhiqiu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard the voices of men and women talking next door, and listened carefully, but it was some explicit love, and looked at Fan Caiqing, who was also sleeping not very well, Xiao Zhiqiu quietly got out of bed, and looked out the window, but at some point, a rather gorgeous big ship was docked next to their boat.
The lights on the big ship shone brightly, and the shadows of a group of men and women were enjoying themselves, who were drinking heartily, and from time to time chanting a few verses about the wind and moon field, some playing the harp to cheer up, others singing mournful tunes.
Xiao Zhiqiu gently closed the window of the boat, it was already the fourth watch at this time, and he couldn't sleep if he wanted to, so he simply walked out, and Zhaori Zhaoyue was also sleeping soundly, Xiao Zhiqiu opened the door a little, walked out, and gently closed the door again.
The wind was strong at night, Xiao Zhiqiu couldn't help but shrink his neck, at this time, the farther north he went, the colder the weather became, He Qian was heavy in late autumn, and when he wanted to go back and find a dress to put on, he was afraid of waking everyone up, so he wrapped his hands and walked to the bow of the boat to look.
The Fan family's ship was on the right, and it was also silent at this time.
Xiao Zhiqiu stood there looking at the river, although the surroundings were dark, but the moonlight was clear, reflecting the white and vast water, it was as the poem said that the white dew across the river, the water and the sky were the scene.
"Girl, it's not dawn yet, why did it come out on such a cold day? Nor do I put on a single garment! ”
Xiao Zhiqiu's shoulders sank, she reached out and grabbed her cloak, she looked at Zhao Ri and smiled: "Woke you up?" ”
Zhao Ri also smiled: "No! It's just that the boat next door is too noisy! I'm impatient to listen, if it weren't for the fear of causing you trouble, I would have wanted to go up and scold! Don't look at the time, disturb people's dreams! ”
Xiao Zhiqiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said angrily: "You and Zhaoyue's mouths are unforgiving!" When you go back to the house, you have to talk less and do more! ”
Zhao Ri playfully rolled his eyes, Xiao Zhiqiu shook his head with a smile, and the two were talking without a word, when suddenly a rush of footsteps came from far and near, and a group of dozens of officers and soldiers surrounded the shore, shouting: "Get up!" Get up! Government search! Hurry up! ”
"The government is searching for the criminals! Everyone get off the boat right away! It's not easy to delay things! ”
Xiao Zhiqiu and Zhao Ri looked at each other, their expressions were solemn, and they didn't dare to delay and walked to the shore, and at this time, everyone on the boat was also woken up, and they ran out one after another.
"Hurry ashore! Don't delay! ”
When everyone heard this, where did they dare to swallow slowly, they got off the boat either walking or running, and some of them even lost one of their shoes, so they hurriedly picked it up and held it in their hands, everyone stood together after getting off the boat, looking at each other without paying attention, even Wei's mother was pale in face, and she couldn't stop looking at Xiao Zhiqiu at this time.
