After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Bao will be on the road. Early in the morning, the servants were busy loading their luggage into the cart and walking back and forth non-stop. And when the master was gathered, he gathered in the hall and said some parting words.

Tong pulled Duanning and repeatedly told him to pay attention to the cold weather, eat enough, and if there is a dizziness and heat, he must tell the second sister-in-law or other adults, and he must not be neglected. Duan Ning listened carefully, and there was no impatience at all.

After listening to his father's teachings, Zhang Bao also came over to tell his son to be more careful, and whispered to him: "I have said hello to your grandfather and uncle, and I go to greet a few elders on weekdays. My family will not treat you badly, but if there is something wrong, go to them. Duan Ning nodded, her eyes red.

When Zhang Bao saw him like this, he said: "Don't cry, you are now older, and you are away from your parents, everything depends on yourself, you have to be self-respecting and self-reliant, don't let your parents down." ”

Duan Ning blinked, put back her tears, and said, "The child knows, Ama rest assured." ”

Shuning sniffed, stepped forward, handed the things in his hand to his brother and said, "This is the hat I just made, it should be a birthday gift for my brother in advance, don't dislike my craftsmanship." "But it turned out to be a melon skin hat that was made by the second watch last night.

Duan Ning took the hat and looked at it, put it on, and said with a smile: "It's just right, my sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I just want to wear a hat in the autumn." Then he whispered to his sister, "I have put a box in your little baggage, and I have collected the contents from everywhere, and my sister will take it on the road to relieve her boredom." Then he took her hand and said: "In the future, I will not be by Ama Eniang's side, my sister will do more filial piety for me, I must write back often, and I must pay more attention to my body, don't get sick." ”

Shuning sniffed again and nodded.

Wan Ning shook over at this time and said, "Third sister, don't worry, we will take good care of Brother Duan, you can rest assured." ”

That's why I'm not at ease!

Duan Ning ignored her and continued to say what she told her sister. After a while, the next person reported that the luggage was loaded into the car, and Zhang Bao and Tong officially said goodbye to their families, stepped out of the house, and officially hit the road.

Duan Ning stood at the gate and watched his family go away, before returning to the hall with everyone. Wan Ning said to him: "Brother Duan, don't be sad, the three years will pass quickly, you will play with us in the future, and I will make you spend these three years happily." ”

Duan Ning said to Wan Ning: "Second sister, I want to study diligently and practice martial arts hard, so I can't play with you." ”

Wan Ning was stunned and said, "We also went hunting on horseback, isn't that just practicing martial arts?" And you're so good at learning, what else are you reading? Do you want to fail in the top score? ”

Duan Ning replied: "Martial arts practice is not play, it is hard practice. My studies are not good enough, so of course I have to continue my studies. The second sister has been a famous talented girl since she was a child, but unfortunately she doesn't like to read, according to me, the second sister is better to read more. has poetry and books in her belly, and her second sister is more knowledgeable, so she can be more respected in the future. When you speak and act, you should also be steady, like a lady of Svenwen. There is also needlework and something, you should learn more. ”

Wan Ning couldn't hear this, so she complained: "Why is Brother Duan talking like those masters and grandmothers? ”

When his grandfather Harqi heard this, he agreed: "That's a good thing, Brother Duan knows that you have to endure hardships and learn more, and you will definitely have a great future in the future." Duan Ning bowed to his grandfather.

The old lord said again: "Wan Ning too, you can't waste time in the future, whether it's reading, practicing needlework, you always have to learn more things, you are ten years old, you can no longer play all day long like a child." ”

Wan Ning was most afraid of hearing this kind of words, but her grandfather said this, and her grandmother, who loved her the most, would not disobey her, thinking of the tragic days in the future, she wailed in her heart, glanced at Duan Ning with resentment, and thought to herself: "I didn't expect this little handsome guy to be a nerd with rotten thoughts, I would have ignored him if I knew it, and I couldn't draw it." ”

She sighed secretly, not noticing it at all, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Duan Ning's mouth while standing.

====================I'm the dividing line of the black belly, the dividing line ====================

Zhang Bao and his entourage arrived at the city gate, met with the old lady Chen and the Liu sisters who were already waiting, and then went to the dock to board the boat and set off. Zhang Bao and Mr. Su took half of the servants on a boat, Old Lady Chen took the servants on another boat, Tong, Shuning and the Liu sisters were together, and then there was a boat with luggage and servants. The group marched along the canal to the south.

Shuning took out the box that Duan Ning put in her baggage, and inside were several delicate nine rings, presumably the stupid brother was afraid that she would be lonely on the road, so he specially got it. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she was not interested in sightseeing in the lively scene on the shore. She originally planned to take a good look at the world, but Duan Ning's absence made her not interested. Even if she found any interesting scenery, she turned her head and wanted to ask someone to come and see, but there was only Chun Xing around her, which really made her depressed.

I have lived together for so many years since I was a child, and once we are separated, I am really not used to it.

Tong missed her son even more, and almost as soon as the boat started, she began to think about it. However, in front of the Liu sisters, it was not good to behave too much, so I could only chat with them patiently, and after a long time, I calmed down.

The concubine of the Shen family, the eldest Liu, is really a woman who speaks and does things very well, and has her own ideas. At this time, Tong Shi was a little convinced that she really begged to go on her own, rather than being driven away by the eldest woman.

Her younger sister Xiao Liu has a very honest and gentle temperament. She was dressed in a very plain blue dress, and her eyebrows were very delicate, but with some sorrow. Tong talked to her and learned that her husband, who had been dead for a few years, was originally a guard of a certain palace, and he suddenly fell ill and died after just over a year of marriage, leaving only her and her son who had just completed the moon. The parents-in-law blamed her husband for killing her, robbing her grandson to raise, and kicked her out of the house. She had no choice but to live with her sister, and could only occasionally inquire about her son from her former neighbors. But now that my sister is going to go thousands of miles away to join her uncle, although she is unwilling, she has no choice but to make a living in Beijing, so she has to follow.

When she talked about her son, her face glowed, but when she said that she would be separated from her son for thousands of miles in the future, she couldn't help but redden. When Da Liu saw his sister like this, he said to her: "Look at what you are doing crying all day long? I don't have to make the third wife laugh. ”

Tong Shi hurriedly said: "How can it be a joke? I am also the one who wants to be separated from my son, how can I not understand the heart of being a mother? She was provoked by Xiao Liu's to miss her son, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Instead, Su Yun persuaded her on the side: "Don't be sad, madam, it's not good for the child in your womb." Only then did Tong collect his tears.

She thought about it, Xiao Liu separated from her son after he was full moon, and it was rare to see each other for several years, and maybe they would never see each other again in the future. In comparison, I feel that although I have to be separated from my son for three years, I have raised him so much since I was a child, and I can communicate in these three years, and I can see each other again later, and my situation is really much better than that of Xiao Liu.

Since then, Tong has become close to Xiao Liu, the journey is boring, and with the company of the Liu sisters, she is in a better mood.

On the way, Shuning had nothing to do, and remembered the agreement with Duanning, so he found all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and really chose some simple paintings of the scenery he saw on the road. However, she had never learned figure drawing, so when she drew many pedestrians on the shore, she would use circles as human heads, and a few strokes as limbs, even if she was a person. It's a bit like a house, a shop, and something like that.

Da Liu came over by chance to take a look, couldn't help but smile, and pointed out a few words to her. It turned out that she had been a concubine in a scholarly family for a long time, and she was also tainted with some elegance. Shuning thanked her, and then she drew better.

After the boat stopped for a few nights, whenever this time, Mrs. Chen would come over to check Tong's pulse and prescribe a prescription for her to prevent seasickness and also to have a safe pregnancy by the way. However, Xiao Liu was diagnosed by him as lacking qi and blood, and he was overwhelmed. The old lady also prescribed a prescription for her, and together they caught it in a nearby pharmacy, telling her to remember to take medicine and relax her heart. The Liu sisters are very grateful.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, he had planned to visit the West Lake, but Tong and Shuning were not in the mood, so Zhang Bao just accompanied the old lady Chen to go shopping for a day, and then went to visit an official of the same year, but unexpectedly heard the news that Prince Zheng was robbed.

Speaking of this Prince Zheng Rabu, when he was in Mukden, Zhang Bao also saw it. In his early years, he heard that he had missed a fighter plane in the war against Wu Sangui, and a few years ago, there was a discussion in the DPRK and China that he should be held responsible. However, several princes and princes helped to intercede, and the emperor saw that he was sick and infirm, so he only punished him and allowed him to stay in Beijing to recuperate. When he was in the capital before, Zhang Bao heard that he had made friends with a lot of officials, and even had close contacts with Mingzhu and the Great Prince's faction. I just don't know who the person who inherits this ******** will be?

The same year, knowing that Zhang Bao had just left Beijing, wanted to inquire from him about the direction of the wind in the court, but Zhang Bao was not very interested in these court battles, so he hurriedly said goodbye, rested for two days, changed to two ships more than twice the size, and left the port with his family.

All of them were driving near the shore with a view of the shore, and they were never far away. Originally, the boatman had sailed the boat farther from the shore, so that the sea route was wide, and he would not be crowded with other ships. But one day when he landed on the shore, Changfu heard from the supply town that there were pirates in the open sea, and came back to report Zhang Bao, and immediately told the boatman to only drive along the coast, preferring to be slower than to be safe.

Shuning naturally didn't know what happened on the boat in front of her, but felt that it was better to see the people and scenery on the shore. She had already dialed out the blue, which was closest to the color of the ocean, and drew several pictures of the endless ocean, dried them and put them away, and showed them to her brother when she returned to Beijing with the letter.

After more than a month on the ship, no matter how interesting the itinerary is, it will become boring, and the scenery of the sea and the shore is actually the same, gradually, Shuning also began to get bored, and listened to the sound of several servants running around on the boat and the shouting of their parents, which made it even more annoying. The weather, which had already had some cool autumn days, slowly became hot again, especially at noon, when the shell of the cabin was so hot that it was almost enough to cook raw eggs.

At this time, the boatman came to report that he was almost at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Since the first two days, Tong has been feeling unwell, and Mrs. Chen moved to the cabin of their ship just in case. When the boatman arrived, he was alone in his room playing chess. Hearing that he was about to reach the mouth of the Pearl River, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the cabin, looked at the river and sea in the distance, and sighed.

Shuning stood beside him, and clearly heard him whispering, "It's been decades, and I'm finally back." ”

She was a little sad when she heard this, this old man was alone, only brought a few old people and a middle-aged servant, and returned to his hometown from the capital thousands of miles away. He has no family and only people left in the village, but he decided to come back because he thinks his hometown is always the best, right?

Shuning thought of herself, where is her hometown? It seemed that she hadn't remembered that distant world for a long time.
