Chapter 213: The Day Before I Got Home
He wants to knock down the river before the Spring Festival, and then hand it over to Hu Panshi to clean up the details and straighten out the control. He felt that after entering the capital, he would definitely not have the energy to take care of Hu Panshi and the river anymore, and he had to let himself have no worries before entering the capital.
Li Xia and Li Wenlan's class was temporarily suspended. However, even if he didn't go to class, Guo Sheng still sent someone to send Li Wenlan the homework he wanted to memorize and the articles he wanted to write. Occasionally, Guo Sheng was idle, and when he was on the boat, he would take the two of them over and teach them a good lesson.
It's just that no matter what Li Wenlan asked, Guo Sheng never took him and Li Xia off the boat, of course, the itinerary was too tight, and the weather was too cold, all of which were serious reasons.
Mrs. Xu and a few boats, there is a wind to pull the sails, no wind to hire more slender man, early and late rest, go very fast, two or three days after the sacrifice, it entered the capital boundary, this day after lunch not much, it was moored into the Changyuan Wharf, today a good night's rest, tomorrow morning departure, after the afternoon, you can berth into the south water gate of the capital.
Mrs. Xu was relaxed and nervous on the couch near the window, looking through the crack in the window, looking at the busy and lively Changyuan Wharf outside, talking to Mama Hong and Li Dong.
"Ming'er will be able to enter the capital." Mrs. Xu's tone was a little unstable.
"No, it's finally back." Mama Hong was even more excited, and pressed the corner of her eyes hard with a handkerchief, "I don't know if the old lady has arrived, this blink of an eye, I haven't seen the old lady for more than 20 years, and the capital, more than ten years, I don't know what the capital has become...... We'll be back in the capital tomorrow! Mama Hong wiped a handful of tears and laughed a few times.
Li Dong didn't do needlework for a while, and when he saw that he hadn't entered the capital at this time, he was excited and lost her temper, Mama Hong, and her aunt, who was looking forward to it, pursed her lips and smiled.
Over the years, although her family affairs have not been smooth, but her family is so good, her matter is a trivial matter......
Li Xia and Li Wenlan sat on the low couch that played horizontally, Li Wenlan memorized a few words of the book, glanced out the window, these years, he followed Mr. Guo to run out every now and then, and it was very interesting to go back, especially when his uncle was there, he went back and went out, playing for most of the day, or even a day, he was very happy, and now he was sleepy on the boat for more than 20 days, Li Wenlan only felt that he was bored and was about to grow green hair.
Where is Mr. Guo now? This is Changtan Wharf! The extremely famous Changyuan Wharf, which is mentioned in many poems and articles, doesn't Mr. take him to see it?
Li Xia held her cheeks, looking at A-Niang, who was obviously more excited than worried, and Mama Hong, who was excited to wipe her tears, alas, Bofu, for their family, even if the eldest aunt is here, it is not a good place.
There is also my sister's family affairs, it is the best, it can be settled before April, which one is better? What she likes seems to be a little impossible to climb, but she can climb it...... Which one is worthy of a sister?
Sister's temper is too good, this temper is too good, it's really annoying.
In Li Wenlan's eagerness, Mama Hong's eldest son, Zhao Qing, who is now following Li Wenlan's side as a small servant, ran over from the boat next door along the springboard, through the curtain, and shouted happily: "Mrs., Mr. said that the sun is good today, and there is no wind, Mr. said that he wants to take the sixth master and the ninth lady to the dock for a walk, and the gentleman said that this Changyuan wharf is also a historic site, which is very interesting." ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to answer, Li Wenlan gave a happy wow, threw away the book, jumped off the bed and ran out, ran two steps, turned back, and waved at Li Xia indiscriminately, while bending down to get his shoes, "Ah Xia, go quickly...... Auntie, can I take my sister ......"
Li Wenlan wore half of her shoes, and then remembered that she had to ask A-Niang for instructions first, so she hurriedly jumped to Mrs. Xu and hurriedly asked for instructions.
Li Dong laughed, Mrs. Xu pointed her finger at Li Wenlan, angry and laughing, "Look at you, all the hard work for so many days has suffocated you out of your illness, if I say no, look at you like this, you still have to cry with me on the spot?" ”
"Auntie, okay? Okay, huh? Li Wenlan didn't care about hearing Mrs. Xu's words clearly, so she was anxious to ask if it was okay.
"Okay, okay! Go ahead, take care of your sister, don't be naughty either of you, this is not Gaoyou County. Mrs. Xu smiled and waved her hand.
Mama Hong had already gotten down, and together with Su Ye, she helped Li Wenlan and Li Xia sort out their clothes, picked out a big wool cloak for the two of them to put on, and then took the hand stove, called Li Xia's girl Qingguo in, explained carefully, and then yelled at her son Zhao Qing a few times through the curtain before sending the impatient Li Wenlan and Li Xia, who was not in a hurry, out of the cabin.
Seeing the two of them go out, Mrs. Xu pressed her temples in annoyance, and complained to Li Dong in a low voice: "Look at these two small ones, one is sensible...... Your sister is too sensible and too smart, I always worry about ......"
"Ah Niang," Li Dong knew what Ah Niang was worried about, and hurriedly interrupted Ah Niang's words, "Ah Xia is okay, not too smart, she just doesn't talk much, her eyes are too bright, she looks at people and doesn't speak, as if she understands everything, in fact, she doesn't understand, Ah Niang don't think too much." ”
"I think so too, how old is she, what do you know? That's what it looks like, and it's incredibly smart to look at. "Mrs. Xu immediately adjusted her thoughts according to her daughter's words, and she was very wise, which is not a good thing." Look at this Brother Lan, who is thirteen years old after the New Year, look at it! It's the same as when he was six or seven years old, you look at it just now, the books are all thrown away, when your fifth brother is thirteen or fourteen years old, how can he be like him? ”
"Auntie, how can the sixth brother compare with the fifth brother? The fifth brother is the boss, besides, the fifth brother is like this, it is enough for A-Niang to have one, isn't this what A-Niang said herself? Li Dong said with a smile.
"That's the same, your fifth brother is like this, and the Li family is the only one." As soon as she mentioned her eldest son, Mrs. Xu immediately laughed from the bottom of her heart, "I haven't seen my fifth brother for three or four years, I don't know if I've grown taller, I've changed, and I've seen ...... tomorrow" Mrs. Xu didn't finish a sentence, and tears fell.
……………………
Li Wenlan took Li Xia's hand and carefully walked ashore from the wide springboard, Guo Sheng was already waiting on the shore with two long entourage.
Li Xia looked at Guo Sheng, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, Guo Sheng had a blue-gray robe inside, a navy blue gray squirrel cloak outside, his long body was erect, refreshed, and he met Li Xia's gaze, lowered his eyelids slightly, and turned sideways to let the two of them go.
Li Wenlan looked up at Guo Sheng, looking distressed, "Mr. is too worried, thank you sir." ”
