Chapter 269: Late Spring Rain
"Girl, take a sip of tea, take a break and think again." Xunzhen cautiously persuaded him, held a begonia celadon cup, and said softly: "The girl has to travel in the past two days, don't be too tired." ”
Chen Ying was awakened by her words, so she put the wooden horse in her sleeves, took the teacup, and said with a light smile: "That's it, you are justified, and you are the one who listens." ”
This is said with a straight smile, and the knowledge on the side is also smiling.
Chen Ying is telling the truth.
It was useless for her to think too much about this case, she still had to get the confessions of Guo Yuan and others as soon as possible. Again, Xingjibo Mansion must have played an important role in it, Guo Wan entered Beijing this time, maybe she could really bring more accurate news to Chen Ying.
It's just that as soon as the thought turned here, Chen Ying's heart swelled up a little, as if he remembered the scene of saying goodbye to Guo Wan again.
But I don't know, when they meet again, what will be the scene?
Chen Ying sighed silently, collected her thoughts, and looked out the window.
The rain is continuous, and the green hills in the distance are like daisies, like a landscape outlined by the creation of splashed ink, and even the lively and noisy street market in the past is also like entering the painting.
"Girl, the city gate is almost in front of you, can you close the curtains?" Zhishi said softly.
Chen Ying nodded: "Close it, it's nothing to look at." ”
The customs of Jinan City are like this, and they are also very embarrassed to know the truth.
Seeing that she should get down, Zhishi's head was loose, and he hurriedly pulled the curtain of the car.
For a moment, the light in the carriage became a little darker, and no one in the carriage spoke, but the sound of the city outside was even louder.
Xu was afraid that Chen Ying would feel uncomfortable, so he said without words: "I didn't expect General Nalang to come, and my uncle also sent a lot of guards, and the girl looked like an official going out on patrol this time." ”
Chen Ying couldn't help but smile when she heard this, shook her head and said: "What kind of official is on patrol, you girl is going to watch the play outside again, but she has said the words in the play one by one." ”
Xunzhen is a real drama fan, when he was in the capital, he often took advantage of the rest to go out to watch the play, and now he is in Jinan, although there are many inconveniences, but fortunately, Mrs. Li loves to be lively, and she can often listen to a play or something in the house, but it makes her too addicted to drama.
Zhishi was also playing fun at this time, and said: "As soon as I said this, the maid remembered it, and the day before yesterday, the old lady got a small drama troupe, and this girl didn't have a home that day." ”
The topic came to this, and the slightly depressing atmosphere in the car got better, Chen Ying knew the thoughts of the two maids, so he laughed with them, so as not to make them feel uneasy.
This time I went to Dengzhou Mansion, and I had to pass through many states and counties along the way, Pei Shu thought about it very carefully, prepared the road guide in advance, and even sent Lang Tingyu here, just for fear that there would be a long-eyed embarrassment Chen Ying and others.
Li Heng should have been informed in advance of this matter, and the guards he sent showed that Pei Shu's request for Chen Ying's help this time was by no means a trivial matter.
It's just that Chen Ying has been busy packing up her salutes in the past few days, and she has to deal with the affairs of the girls' school in her spare time, so she really didn't take the opportunity to talk to Lang Tingyu, so she still doesn't know anything about the purpose of this trip.
The carriage soon arrived at the city gate, and Lang Tingyu stepped forward to contact, since everything went well, and after a while, the carriage started moving again, Xun Zhen stepped forward with a smile and lifted the curtain, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's good now, it's finally out of the city." One wall spoke, and the other leaned over the window to look out.
Although Jinan is good, the rules are much bigger than the capital, and the constraints on women are still tight, even as a servant, she has an obvious sense of restraint, and finally left the city at this moment, she only felt that her heart was open, as if even the sky had become a little taller.
"The rain is annoying, but I'm afraid that the road will be delayed for a little longer." Knowing the truth is not as heartless as seeking the truth, and thinking more about it.
Chen Ying said: "It shouldn't be too delayed, there are few of us, but when we came back, there were several cars together, and most of them were women, so we naturally walked slowly on the road, and this time it will definitely not be." ”
After that, he asked Xun Zhen again: "We have to stop at the girls' school for a while, have you told General Lang?" ”
Xun Zhen hurriedly said: "Back to the girl, the maid told me early in the morning that the carriage is heading in the direction of the girls' school." The servant looks at the road, and it can't be wrong. ”
The girls' school was not built next to the official road, but was located under a branch road branched out from the official road, and at this moment, the carriage was indeed walking on that branch road, Chen Ying moved to the window to take a look, and then relieved his heart.
Their convoy only had Chen Ying's carriage, and the rest was a horse team composed of Pei Jiajun and guards, with a total of twenty horsemen.
Although the number was small, the strength of the guards was unprecedentedly strong, and they were cavalry, and the speed was much faster, and before their master and servant could say a word, the carriage stopped again, but the girls' school arrived.
Lang Tingyu stepped forward to report, Chen Ying got out of the car, and said apologetically to Lang Tingyu: "I'm sorry, the girls' school still has some miscellaneous matters to deal with, please wait a while, General Lang." ”
Lang Tingyu crossed his hand, Chen Ying smiled at him, and walked into the school gate with his skirt.
It was Ye Qing who was on duty today, and after Chen Ying said hello to her, she went to the office first to deal with a few important tasks that should be done, and then went to Li's place to have a look.
Now that he has lived here for a long time, his health is already in good health, and his mood seems to be relaxed, and he goes to teach the kindergarten children every day. When Chen Ying went, she was preparing for class, and her whole mental outlook was different from usual, and even her complexion was much better than when she lived in the city.
Chen Ying was going to Dengzhou, and the Li family also knew about it. Maybe it's because she's in a girls' school, she doesn't take some things so seriously, but this time she wasn't as worried as she was in the past, and when she saw Chen Ying, she only told her to "be careful on the road and report safety when you get to the place."
Seeing that Li's mind was relaxed and his body was very healthy, Chen Ying was relieved, and after a few words with her, he resigned.
Outside the small courtyard, the rain is murmuring, the fine rain silk falls along both sides of the eaves, like two transparent bead curtains, looking through the curtains, it is the verdant scenery in the late spring, and there are scattered rain sounds in the ears, which make people feel more and more quiet.
The three of them walked through the mezzanine and corner gates, and walked along the straight verandah in the direction of the school gate, and the further they went, the clearer the sound of Langlang books came from the school building, and the sound was mixed with the sound of rain, which made Chen Ying involuntarily think of the famous couplet in his previous life.
"The sound of the wind, the rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the voice." She whispered to herself, a small smile tugging at her lips.
I hope that one day in the future, there will be female students from Quancheng Girls' School who are "family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything cares", so that the women of this era can really step out of the high wall.
