Chapter Twenty-Five: Departure
It's night, because there are too many things to deal with this day, Xuanyuan Chen has returned to Liuyun Pavilion is already a child. As soon as he came back, he walked into Wanliang's room lightly, and saw that Wanliang was already lying flat and asleep, so he lightly branded a kiss on her forehead. As he was about to quietly walk out of the room, by the moonlight from the open window, he spotted a pair of men's new shoes that were about to be made on the cool dresser. Are the shoes that Awan made for him herself? At the thought of this, he was so happy that he quickly walked over and picked up the new shoes that were not yet completely finished, and tried them on his feet. The size was just right, and he tried two steps in the new shoes, which was really comfortable, and he didn't even want to take them off, but then he thought that since Ah Wan did it for him, then he waited for Ah Wan to give it to him personally, so he reluctantly took off the new shoes and put them back in their original places.
So, Xuanyuan Chen waited for several days with such anticipation, and did not wait for Ah Wan to give him shoes as he thought, but saw that the pair of shoes he tried on were actually worn on Ah Niu's feet, which made him feel good! Panic! Thinking about it, I have known Ah Wan for more than half a year, and Ah Wan only sewed an osmanthus sachet for him. At that time, she had just moved to Liuyun Pavilion not long ago, and the flood had not yet broken out. There are a few osmanthus trees on the edge of the fish pond of Liuyun Pavilion, although the osmanthus flowers on the branches of the continuous rain fall badly, the small osmanthus flowers are far less dense than in previous years, but they still make the Liuyun Pavilion osmanthus fragrant, and it is the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he only opened his mouth and asked Ah Wan to ask for a sachet that she sewed by herself. A few days later, he finally got such an osmanthus sachet that she had sewn with her own hands. However, it was also because Ah Niu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional sabotage, he carefully prepared for several days, and originally planned to spend a romantic full moon night with Ah Wan, so he soaked in the soup. Now, he thinks about it and finds it very infuriating.
Why can Ah Niu wear shoes made by Ah Wan herself? Ah Wan hasn't made a pair of shoes for him yet. Originally, because Awan didn't want to marry him for the time being, and couldn't get married as scheduled, his heart was already at a low point. Only he knew how reluctant he was when he told Shi Qing to stop handling the big wedding! Only he knows how much he is looking forward to the candles in the cave room with Awan! But Awan didn't want to, and he couldn't force her. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt. Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Chen, who is wise and steady in doing things and strategizing, would have such a childish side.
A few days later, something happened that made Xuanyuan Chen's heart even more blocked and uncomfortable, that is, Wanliang really left Liuyun Pavilion, and the eldest mother and Ah Niu were gone. Xuanyuan Chen was really annoyed, Xiao Cui, who had the highest martial arts among the maids, couldn't look down on Ah Wan, who was powerless! What the hell is Cui doing! Now he didn't have the heart to blame her, he just wanted to find Awan as soon as possible. He wants to know, why did Awan leave? He has already postponed his wedding, why does Awan want to leave? Why, exactly? Xuanyuan Chen immediately called Shi Qing and sent a secret guard to start looking for Wanliang in Zhoushan. However, where did Xuanyuan Chen think that at this time, Wanliang and Auntie, Ah Niu had already come to Yuanlu, and they were not in Zhoushan at all.
Finally leaving Liuyun Pavilion, Ah Niu was the happiest. He hates Xuanyuan Chen! I hate to see Xuanyuan Chen and Xiaowan's sister together, affectionate, so harmonious, so matched, like a pair of fairy couples. If it weren't for Xiao Wan's sister living in Liuyun Pavilion, he wouldn't want to stay there for a day.
Wanliang was also hesitating to take her aunt and Ah Niu to "Dujiabao" together. Because Ah Niu made up her mind to follow her, where she was, he would also be there, and the eldest mother naturally wanted to be with Ah Niu, so she also took Ah Niu and the eldest mother to "Dujiabao" together. They chose to say goodbye, which was completely helpless. Later, she mentioned to Xuanyuan Chen twice to "ask him to let him go", Xuanyuan Chen asked her why she wanted to leave, but she couldn't tell the real reason, and finally Xuanyuan Chen said in an injured tone: "Ah Wan, I believe Chen, I will never force you to marry me." Can you stop saying goodbye to leaving, this is your home. Although you and I have not yet married in the church, I have long regarded you as my only wife in Xuanyuan Chen's life, and my home is also your home. Awan, don't say anything about leaving in the future. ”
Wanliang and they didn't say goodbye this time, but they were actually sorry for one person, that is, Xiaocui. Because she took advantage of Xiao Cui's liking for Ah Niu, she broke Xiao Cui. This is also something that can't be helped, although Xuanyuan Chen does not restrict her freedom, she can wander around on the street at any time, he even gave her a lot of silver tickets, telling her to buy whatever she likes when she sees it on the street, but Xiaocui, a personal maid, is always with her.
That day, Wan Liang first took a part of the silver ticket that Xuanyuan Chen gave her on weekdays, and gave it to Ah Niu, and discussed with Ah Niu and the eldest mother, they first went to the town to hire a carriage to wait for her at the intersection of Yuan Road in the south of the town, and when she threw off Xiao Cui's tail, she went to the intersection to meet them. However, when she got to the street, Wanliang tried to get rid of Xiaocui several times without success, and almost made Xiaocui suspect that she was deliberately trying to break her away, but fortunately, Xiaocui didn't have any heart, so she prevaricated and flickered over. In the end, she really couldn't find a good way to get rid of Xiao Cui. Suddenly, she thought that Xiaocui had made shoes for Brother A Niu, and the eyes she looked at Brother A Niu on weekdays, she undoubtedly liked Brother A Niu. Wanliang thought about how to fool Xiaocui, and suddenly thought that the peach wood comb that Brother Niu gave her this morning said that he made it himself. When she walked out of the room just now, she happened to see the wooden comb given to her by Ah Niu on the dresser, and she thought that she couldn't bring any luggage, so she picked up the wooden comb and put it in her sleeve pocket. It's just that I never thought that this wooden comb could play a big role at this moment. So, Wanliang took out a wooden comb from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, give it, this is the peach wood comb that Brother Niu asked me to bring to you this morning, saying that he made it for you with his own hands." Xiaocui, this time I went out to go shopping was actually asked by Brother Niu, he said that he was waiting for you on the shore of the bridge in the town, and he had something very important to say to you in person, and he said that he would not see you. "The reason why Wanliang said that she was at the bridgehead was because the bridgehead was in the northernmost part of the town, and the meeting point agreed between her and the eldest lady Aniu was in the southernmost part of the town.
"Girl, is what you said true?" Xiao Cui, who was in love for the first time, was excited and even a little ecstatic since she took the wooden comb from Wanliang's hand, and her whole heart was pounding with excitement. A few days ago, she had seen Ah Niu Gongzi making this peach wood comb, and he was making and polishing it very seriously, and she was also very serious about it. I didn't expect him to do it for himself, Xiaocui's heart at this time was sweeter than eating honey. Hearing Wanliang say this, I couldn't wait to immediately run to the shore of the bridge to have a tryst with Ah Niu.
"Really. When did I lie to you? When Wan Liang saw Xiao Cui's appearance, she already had eight points of faith. continued to pretend to be salty and indifferent: "Anyway, if Brother Niu asked me to bring it to you, I already brought it, and I specially helped him call you out, whether you go to see him or not depends on you." ”
"However, the prince instructed the slave to protect the girl by her side, so Xiaocui can't go to see him now." Xiao Cui said worriedly.
"It's not simple, you go to see Brother Niu, I'll go to the front of the 'Shanshui Tea Room' to wait for you, and then we will return to Liuyun Pavilion together, don't you know?" Wan Liang saw that Xiao Cui was obviously tempted, and hurriedly continued to persuade her.
"But ......," Xiao Cui hesitated.
"Alas, don't do it anymore, you go and come back quickly, you just go for a while, what can I do, don't let Brother Niu wait too long." Wan Liang saw that Xiao Cui was about to be moved, and continued to speak.
"But...... Still not successful! If the prince of the world knows......" Xiao Cui thought for a moment, still hesitating.
"They all said that you should go and come back quickly, and after you have made it clear with Brother Aniu, you will go back to the 'Shanshui Tea Room' to find me, and we will go back to the house together." As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, where will Chen know? Moreover, Brother Ah Niu said that he had something very important to say to you personally...... "Wanliang persuaded her for a quarter of an hour, Xiaocui, who originally wanted to see Ah Niu, was finally moved by her persuasion. After she sent Wanliang to a private room in the "Shanshui Tea Room", she couldn't wait to rush to the bridge head of the town with excitement and excitement. It's just that she never expected that she would make a big mistake because of this - she lost the protection of the most beloved woman in the world.
After five hours of carriage bumps, Wanliang and they finally arrived at Qinghe Town, Yuanlu. At this time, it was already midday, and it was already dark, so Wanliang and they stayed at an inn in the town.
The next day, after breakfast, Wan Liang first went to the "ready-to-wear shop" in this town for the eldest lady, Ah Niu and himself bought two changes of clothes, because they discussed before leaving, in order not to make the Liuyun Pavilion family members suspicious, they decided not to pack their luggage, so they didn't even bring a change of clothes. Then, he called the carriage master and sent them to "Dujiabao" in Ding'an Town, Yuanlu.
After more than two hours of driving, the carriage finally stopped, and the carriage master reminded: "The girl Dujiabao has arrived." ”
Wanliang stepped off the carriage and looked, in front of him is a rather imposing house, the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which are written "Dujiabao" three big characters, on both sides of the gate, there are two majestic stone lions. Wan Liang paid the money to the carriage master, and went straight to the gate, and then took out the wolf head token that Uncle Du gave her from his sleeve pocket, showed it to the two guards of the gate, and said, "I want to see your castle master." ”
After the family saw the token in Wan Liang's hand clearly, one of the family members said respectfully: "You please come with me." ”
