Chapter 4: Hurry
Qinghui Shi Shi Ran was blessed, and said softly: "Lao Gu is worried about the housekeeper, the young lady just got up, saying that she was still a little dizzy, and the slave was about to prepare clear water to serve the young lady to clean her face. ”
After speaking, a slight sigh escaped from the corner of his mouth, and with the worry on his face, he successfully blocked Gu Xun's proposal to set off back into his mouth.
"In this way, then let the second miss have a good rest, a good rest, the slave, the slave will retire first, if the second miss has any requirements, the girl just come to find the slave." Gu Xun smiled dryly, and his tone was quite stiff.
Qinghui was unconscious, and didn't know what it was to politely respond to Gu Xun's words, turned around and closed the door, and went to fetch water.
Gu Xun stood in place, looking at Qinghui's back and was silent for a while, before he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
An Sheng rested in Qinghe County for three days, and the feeling of wandering on the boat disappeared, before he instructed Qinghui to send a message to Gu Xun, saying that he could leave for Beijing tomorrow.
After Gu Xun heard the news, the wrinkles between his eyebrows finally spread out a little, and he ordered someone to pack up that night, so that he could leave as soon as possible tomorrow.
An Sheng heard that Gu Xun ordered people to dress up overnight, squinted his eyes and smiled, but did not speak.
I want to stay here for three days, Gu Xun is quite uncomfortable!
I'm afraid that the Fang clan sent someone to urge him in private, Gu Xun must be in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have let people pack up his things in the middle of the night.
Deserve!
Let him have a black heart and want to toss himself, and plan to toss himself off a layer of skin like in his previous life?
It's a pity that she can't let him get his wish!
Qinghe County is close to Yejing, and if you take a carriage to hurry, you will arrive in one day.
Early the next morning, Gu Xun came to ask when he could leave, An Sheng did not embarrass him this time, and waved his little hand to let Qinghui inform him to leave.
When Gu Xun heard this, he immediately got wind on the soles of his feet, and ran back to summon the servants to load the car and set off, as if he was afraid that he would be too late, and An Sheng changed his mind again.
This is not uncommon.
When I was at Cangzhou Ferry last time, didn't the second lady change her hexagram before leaving, and then she tossed for another day before she was willing to leave!
Gu Xun watched the servants quickly load the cart and pack their bags, and silently clenched their fists.
The second lady is raised in Zhuangzi, the rules are really short, and he often thinks that one is one out, and he has to be on guard at all times!
Madame has already sent three letters in a row, and the letters have repeatedly failed to do his errands, and he has not brought the second miss back after delaying for so long, which is already a lot of impatience, and he has to quickly bring the second miss back to the house, so as to atone for the crime!
Half an hour later, the carriage drove out leisurely and onto the official road.
Yejing, the capital of Nanzhao, is located in the north, and the weather in early March is warm and cold, and the closer you get to Yejing, the more cold the air becomes.
An Sheng is not cold-tolerant, and he has a thick soft mattress in the carriage and several stoves, covering a small world warmly, which is not comfortable.
Gu Xun turned around to look at the carriage several times, and when he saw that the carriage was walking in a good manner, he felt a little more at ease.
It's almost there, and in two hours at most, they will definitely be able to rush to Yejing City, and at that time, the second miss won't want to be angry anymore.
Thinking of the situation in the Hou Mansion and the instructions of Mrs. Yongning Hou, Gu Xun overflowed with a cold smile on the corner of his lips, and rode forward leisurely.
As Gu Xun expected, two hours later, at the end of Shen Shi, they finally arrived at the west gate of Yejing.
Gu Xun rode to An Sheng's carriage, leaned over and reminded: "Second Miss, we have arrived in Yejing, and when we enter the city gate, we can go back to the Hou Mansion, and we are finally back, Madame has been talking about you!" ”
Gu Xun had an unconscious pride in his tone, as if he had seen the scene where An Sheng was blamed by Mrs. Yongning Hou after returning to the Yongning Hou Mansion.
However, there was no response from the carriage.
Gu Xun's expression on his face cracked a little, the smile on his cheeks slowly retracted, and then slowly straightened up.
At this time, a faint voice came from the carriage, "I know, let's arrange it." ”
At that moment, Gu Xun suddenly felt that he had been neglected, and he was quite bored.
It's like when you throw a punch with all your might, but you hit the cotton with one punch, and you don't have the courage to throw a second punch.
Gu Xun rode away stupidly, leading the way with a stiff face.
In fact, this is all because he thought about it too much, An Sheng didn't answer him immediately, not because he deliberately ignored him, but just a little in a trance.
She came back to this place, the place where the nightmare of her previous life began, she was just, a little embarrassed for a while, and she was out of her mind.
Listening to the noise coming from outside the carriage, An Sheng exhaled softly.
Yejing is still as prosperous as before.
I just don't know if under the surface of this prosperity, there is still an unknown unbearable hidden as before.
Zizhu and Xuecia are young and have a jumpy temperament, and when they heard the lively sounds outside, they couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain and look out.
Nanzhao is open to the people, among which the capital city of Yejing is the most prosperous, there is no curfew for several days in January, and women can also walk freely on the streets, buying and selling freely.
It was nearly dusk, and although the daytime market stopped, the streets were still lively.
The peddlers and pawns are still carrying their burdens and shouting, the shops on the street are still full of customers, and the dignitaries, Confucian students, and ordinary people are interspersed and lingering, weaving this prosperous and rich painting silk.
Zizhu and Xuecicada were excited, and from time to time they turned back to An Sheng to describe the glory and beauty of Yejing City.
An Sheng smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
It was Mother Zheng who softly scolded Zizhu and Xuecicada, "I'll go back to the Hou Mansion soon, you two be careful, there are many rules in the Hou Mansion, don't make trouble for the young lady at that time." ”
Zizhu and Xuecia were reprimanded by Zheng's mother, and they both nodded vigorously with a white face, and the rules were obeyed, and they no longer talked about the excitement outside.
An Sheng did not speak to comfort them as usual, and acquiesced to Zheng's mother's words.
Mother Zheng is right, Zizhu and Xuecicada have jumped out of their temperament, when they were on Zhuangzi in the past, it didn't hurt to have their own protection, but now that they have returned to the Hou Mansion, they should indeed change.
When I entered the place where I ate people, if I didn't have the scheming, I didn't dare to guarantee that I could completely protect them, and now let them have a long memory, it's good.
The carriage rolled and went, and gradually came to the center of Changchun Street.
After bypassing Changchun Street, arriving at Yongle Street, and walking hundreds of miles to the east, you will arrive at the Yongning Hou Mansion.
The places to pass along the way, An Sheng remembers clearly.
Unexpectedly, just after the carriage reached the center of Changchun Street, it suddenly stopped.
An Sheng was strange, and was about to ask Zheng's mother to ask what was going on, but Gu Xun came over in person.
"Second Miss, the prince of the protector of the country will return to Beijing with the Zhenbei army, let's let go, and when Lu Shizi and they pass, let's leave."
