Shu Ning was stunned, and her mind quickly recalled that the unmarried person among the male servants who went with her had some realization: "Do you mean Tianyang?" The others are either already married, or they are younger than you, although there are still two or three guards, but with your temperament, you probably think they are rude, right? ”

Qiu Yi's face was flushed, and she lowered her head shyly and timidly. Shuning sighed and said: "It's a pity that Tianyang already has a crush, and this time he is also going to go with him, and the master is planning to let him have a happy event next year." "Tianyang likes a rough girl, with a simple temperament, and she has been on an errand in Tongying Courtyard as early as in King Jian's mansion.

Qiu Yi's face turned white, he bit his lip, his eyes were slightly annoyed, and he said while thinking about what other suitable candidates there were: "Then ...... That...... The slave and maid still ask the lady to be gracious, even if it is to do rough work, and beg the lady to take the slave and the maid to go, the slave and the maid do not want to be assigned casually. ”

Shuning also roughly understood at this time, in fact, most of the big families have this kind of idea, and most of them would rather be a little idle for the master's family, or never marry, and it is stronger than a boy, for fear that they will never be able to live a good life before marriage. Qiu Yi is probably a little excited to see that several girls have a good place to go, right? Anyway, the possibility of becoming Tongying's concubine is very small, rather than being casually assigned along with other maids, it is better to follow the master's family and have a chance to meet a good partner, even if you can't marry into a good family like Holly, be a small landowner's wife, or become an official concubine like Huang Ying'er, at least you can marry a housekeeper with a head and face, and be a housekeeper like Frangipani.

Now that Qiu Yi has already talked about this. It's not good to ignore her thoughts, in fact, she just wants to pursue a better life, as long as she doesn't provoke Tongying, she won't object.

Shuning also thought about the two big girls who married each other, and they couldn't go north, leaving only sandalwood and chrysanthemum, which seemed to be a little less. However, she soon remembered that when she was a child, she only had one maid ring, and even if she returned to the capital as the eldest lady, she only had two maid rings with her. At that time, I never felt that there was a shortage of manpower, was it really easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity? Since you want to live a quiet life, two people are enough, not to mention that there is also a miscellaneous maid ring daughter-in-law.

But now it's not a big problem to add an autumn suit. Shuning thought for a while and said, "Since you said so, I'm not a hard-hearted person, go back and discuss it with your master." If he doesn't object, let you go with him. It's just that you need to know what to expect, and it may really make you get busy. ”

Qiu Yi's eyes lit up and he had to kowtow again. Fortunately, Shuning resolutely stopped her and knocked her out.

When Shuning later told Tongying that she had given accessories and clothes to Holly, she told him about Qiuyi's request. Tong Ying groaned slightly: "Then it doesn't hurt that Ama went south and brought a lot of people to wait. There is a shortage of manpower in the Fengtian Old Palace. I heard that there is a special lack of rings. When the time comes, just let her stay in the house as an errand. There are also unmarried people over there, and a few more guards are good. ”

Shuning answered and asked, "Have you already made up your mind to come out before the year?" Everyone else only goes after the beginning of spring. ”

Tongying smiled: "It's better to go early." Isn't it annoying that the Chinese New Year is a bunch of red tape? Shu Ning thought about it, so she smiled and agreed, and discussed another thing with him, that is, prepare the New Year's gift in advance, and then send it out by Manager Yin when the time is almost over, so as not to be busy settling down in Fengtian, and have no energy to prepare, and waste manpower and material resources for transportation.

Tong Ying said: "I don't understand these things too well, you have the idea, just don't forget that the palace, the palace and your mother's family are more important, as for the average friend, you don't have to send them, even a few princes are exempt." Is there enough money? ”

Shuning smiled and said, "Don't worry if it's enough." I understand that your mind is on the horizon, why don't we go through what to buy? ”

Tongying nodded, and the two discussed.

As for Tongying's insistence on coming out as soon as possible, Prince Jian and Yarjianga did not approve of their long-term stay in Mukden, knowing how cold the winter was there, not to mention that there were only two months before the New Year. Prince Jian also said: "The third child is about to get married, are you not even going to drink the wine of your brother's land and leave?" ”

Tong Ying replied: "His new yard only started a few days ago, where can he be in time this year?" Wait until the house is repaired, and the woman's family will measure the size and then go to the furniture, but I am afraid that I may not be able to get married in the spring next year. If you really wait for the wedding wine to leave, you will be delayed. Doesn't Amma always teach us to be loyal to the public and be diligent in political affairs? ”

Prince Jane also knew that he was telling the truth, and although he was reluctant, he nodded his head. However, Yarjiang'a privately pulled his younger brother into a corner, handed him a few silver tickets, and said: "This is my brother's private money, you can take it, and there are still a lot of expenses in Fengtian, you are not living a good life now, and it is good to bring more money with you......"

Tong Ying saw that there were five or six thousand taels, and she was going to push the ground, but after listening to her brother's words, she hesitated for a while and accepted it. Yarjana patted him on the shoulder happily, and with great interest pulled him to taste his newly acquired sixty-year-old daughter's red.

Shu Ning said that she was going to come out in the month on her mother's side, and Ning frowned when she heard it, but she had agreed before, so she didn't say anything more. It's just that Xiao Liu pulled Shuning and wiped her tears again, Shuning had to comfort her softly, and told Xiaobao to be filial to her mother, help her brother and sister-in-law, and take care of her nephew.

Xiaobao hesitated one by one, and when her mother was about to cook for her sister, she pulled Shuning over and whispered, "Sister, ...... a few days ago My aunt came to see me......"

Shu Ning didn't react at first, and then remembered that he said that it was the former Aunt Guo frowned: "They are here again?" Do you want money again? Don't say yes easily, once you get entangled, it's over. ”

Xiaobao nodded: "I know I didn't tell my mother, and let her go out less so as not to be disturbed." It seems that my cousin owes gambling debts, and my aunt has no money at home, so I came to the door and said that I was from their Guo family. It is supposed to feed their loved ones. Hmph, who are their relatives?! Although I helped them repay the money this time, I made it clear that I would only take this time as an example, and I also told the people in the gambling house that if they lent him money to gamble again, I would not admit it. I also used Shigela as a pretense, and the name of the little prince was really useful. He snickered.

Shuning also smiled. Turning his head to look at Xiao Bao, who was already half a head taller than himself, he sighed: "It seems that you have really grown up and already know how to behave, and I am more relieved to have you." However, she changed her serious expression and said, "It's just that you have to remember not to do bad things to make your mother worry." If they pull you to play, you should know it too. What can be played and what should not be touched. "Although Shige's character is good, it is common for the children of the clan to spend all day drinking, and I can't let Xiaobao learn badly.

Xiaobao nodded solemnly. A vow was made.

Although it was common for Tongying to go out on errands before, she also knew what luggage to bring on the road, but this time she took her wife and servants with her, and she had to stay for a few years. There's a lot to prepare. Also have extra money on hand, just in case.

Except for a few close relatives. People who know each other on weekdays also have to say goodbye. When I went to Baltu House, I cried in the dark. was finally persuaded by her husband, and Shuning and Tongying almost ran away. In order to avoid suspicion, Tongying did not go to the palaces of several princes who had made friends in the past to say goodbye, but the fifth elder brother unexpectedly took his wife to Tongying's house to say goodbye despite the opposition of others.

Shuning invited Wufu Jin Yuanning to the inner courtyard to talk, and looked at the situation between their husband and wife, although they were just respectful and intimate, but looking at Yuanning's expression, she didn't care, she sighed secretly, didn't say anything, just chatted some gossip, and answered Yuanning's few questions about travel preparations.

But Tong Ying and the fifth elder brother have been silent. Liang Jiu Tong Yingcai sighed: "What are you doing here?" It's another trouble for others to find out. ”

He made such a show before, although many people knew that he was behind the black cauldron, but some people who didn't know the inside story thought that he was really a wicked person, and the emperor ordered him to participate in the return to Tun, which seemed to outsiders to be no different from dethronement, and everyone thought that it was too late for him to be alienated from his holy family. The fifth elder brother is really conspicuous to come to the door like this.

The fifth elder brother snorted coldly and said, "I'm not afraid." I don't look down on those guys who secretly use means to frame my brother in order to fight for power and profit, and I don't dare to admit that I have done something wrong, but I want others to take the blame. I love to come, why should others care about me?! You saved my life and gave me medicine to heal my injuries, if you kicked you aside because you were down, what would you be?! ”

Tong Ying looked at him helplessly, walked out of the door and looked outside, before coming back and said, "Fortunately, no one else hears it, otherwise you won't be able to get anything good." I'm actually fine, and it's easier to go back to Mukden, so you don't have to fight for me. After a pause, he said: "When it comes to life-saving grace, it's actually just a handful of hands, it's nothing, as for medicine...... Don't say you don't know who got it. ”

The fifth elder brother opened his mouth and turned his head away without speaking. Tong Ying sighed and said, "What grudges do the brothers have to remember for a few years?" In fact, you know in your heart that he was also a little wronged in that matter. You don't actually blame him for a long time, do you? But it's still awkward. Hurry up and reconcile, don't let him down. ”

Until he left, the fifth elder brother didn't mention this matter again, although Tongying was a little regretful, but she still had something to do, so she no longer interfered in the entanglement between their brothers. Look at the Chinese network all the way

After more than half a month of preparation, by mid-November, the luggage was finally ready. Just the day before leaving the land, he went to the palace and kowtowed, and after eating farewell wine in Prince Jian's mansion, Tongying wanted to go to Jiao, Wang, and Leng to resign, and Shuning went back to her parents' house.

Recently, in order to get together more before her sister's trip, Duan Ning always brought his wife and children to his sister-in-law's house as guests, and often brought Xiao Liu's mother and son. It's just that Shuning still wants to take a walk in the baron's mansion and say goodbye to the second sister-in-law and the old men.

When she first arrived at the gate, she was surprised to see several carriages parked in the front yard, and the servants were busy packing their luggage, and she didn't know who was going to travel. I called someone to ask, and I was even more confused when I learned that it was the Nala clan who was going to Changping. After greeting Zhenzhen who came to greet him, he heard that his uncle was at home, so he went to the big house to say goodbye.

Jin Bao was already a little old, and he had frost on his sideburns, and he learned that his niece was going north tomorrow. Then he said uprightly: "Fengtian is my return to Longxing Land, the responsibility is heavy, and it is a good opportunity for meritorious service." You were sent to this errand at a young age, and I don't know how many people are red-eyed. Since the emperor trusts his niece and son-in-law so much, you, as a wife, must persuade him to do a good job and not let down the emperor's grace. You know what? ”

Shuning resisted the urge to roll her eyes and obediently agreed, but then asked about Nala's trip. Jin Bao's face darkened, and he said with a straight face: "It's just that she was busy and a little tired from the previous year, so she planned to live in the village for a few days, it's not a big deal." Then he said a few random words and picked up the tea bowl.

The Nala clan hadn't been a housekeeper for a few years earlier, and when he returned to his mother's house to be a guest with Zhenzhen, he talked about it. It only said that the Li family was preparing for the New Year, how could the Nala family be tired? What's more, where is there a Zhuangzi in Changping? Not even Nala's house, right? Why use so many carriages if you just stay for a few days? Could it be that something happened to Wanning?

Shuning saw that Jin Bao didn't want to talk more. I didn't ask any more questions, but I just happened to meet Nala after I went out. The other party was in a hurry to go out, and only hurriedly greeted a few words, and instructed him to be careful on the road. Then he hurried away. Lee sent her out. When he turned around, his face turned pale. Reluctantly smiled at Shuning and apologized for her mother-in-law's faux pas.

Shuning took the opportunity to ask the reason for the incident, and anger flashed on Li's face. Then he took a few deep breaths, then stretched out his hand and pulled Shuning away, until he entered the Taoyuan where she lived, and drove all the maids out of the room, closed the door, and then sat down on the edge of the kang, lowered his voice and shouted: "I can't bear it anymore." Third sister, why am I so miserable, but I have such a sister-in-law, before she got married, she caused the family to be so depressed, and now she is married, and she will affect her mother's family! ”

Sure enough, something happened to Wanning. Shuning hurriedly asked what was wrong, only to see Li Shi close his eyes and hold back his tears, and finally calm down a little before he said intermittently: "Her illness is almost better, but she has no energy, and she pesters Eniang to accompany her all day long." I didn't say anything when I saw her sick, I just couldn't get used to seeing her like that! I thought she was really at peace...... If I hadn't alerted her, I'm afraid I'd have coaxed Eniang to help her escape! ”

She stroked her chest and calmed down before continuing: "One day last month, she suddenly fell in the house and knocked her head on the corner of the table and fainted. Sifujin invited the imperial doctor to come and see that it was fine, but she just didn't wake up. Sifujin was afraid that something would happen to her, so he specially sent someone to invite Eniang and me to guard, and she didn't wake up until the next morning. I thought it was okay...... She actually said that she lost her ...... Amnesia! I don't remember anything, I don't recognize people, and I open my mouth to ask what year it is, and who is the emperor! Knowing that she was the fourth elder brother's Shu Fujin, she actually ......" Li Shi tightly tugged on the handkerchief and trembled: "What else do you say...... Why is it the fourth and not the eighth, even if it is thirteen or fourteen...... My God, she used to be so entangled with the fourth and fifth elder brothers that she had already hurt her family, and now she has to hook up with the three princes again, and she won't let go of her eleven-year-old child, so that people will know about it, how can we see people in our family? ! ”

She kept crying, but she didn't dare to cry loudly, and she was so choked that it was uncomfortable to hear. Shuning was already dumbfounded when she heard it, her mind was blank, and she felt an incredible feeling. When Li's crying stopped, she asked dryly, "That'...... What happened after that? Does the fourth elder brother Sifu Jin know that she said these words? ”

Li Shi choked up and replied: "At that time, I was in the house with Eniang, but there was someone outside the house, and she spoke in a loud voice, but I was afraid that I would hear it outside." Since then, her yard can no longer come and go at will, and only Eniang can take care of it. Sifujin only said that he asked Eniang to tell her about the past one by one, so that she could learn the rules again. But...... She used to be willful enough when she remembered people, but now she was even more unruly than before, and she didn't have any rules at all, she didn't stand, she didn't sit together, she lived like a starving ghost when she ate, and she yelled to go out all day long...... But now she is not only a different person, but even her mouth is so sweet that it seems to have passed the honey, and her mother is full of joy. Today, Prince Yong and Fu Jin finally made up their minds to send her to Changping Zhuangzi to recuperate, and Eniang was afraid that she would have no one to take care of her, so she would accompany her......"

Shuning listened to Li's words with wide eyes: It won't be what she thinks, right? I don't know if Wan Ning lost the memory of the place after crossing over, or if there was a new time-traveler entering that body? Judging from what she said when she woke up, it seemed more likely that the latter was the case. What about the original Wanning? Did you wear it back? Or did you wear it to an unknown place again?

Her mind was a mess. I don't know which one to worry about, whether it's the soul of the original Wanning who doesn't know where it ends, or the current Wanning. It stands to reason that only Wanning's body is related to her by blood, and she should be worried about this, but she has known her for many years, but she is the soul of Wanning, and now she doesn't know the new one at all.

Wait until Shuning comes back to her senses. Only then did I hear Li say, "...... I didn't put it around to raise it, so I was more favorable, but I shouldn't leave a big family behind. I'm dead now, as long as I take care of the family......" She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, turned her head to Shu Ning and said, "Please don't tell anyone about it, the third sister and the eldest sister don't know about it." The fourth elder brother and the fourth Fujin were also kind enough not to let it go, otherwise our family would ......," she said couldn't go on.

Shuning nodded and said, "Don't worry." I'm not going to tell anyone. Sister-in-law, also relax, and this big family depends on you to take care of it. Li nodded silently, and after the words came out, she was in a better mood. This third sister has always had a tight mouth, and she is going to leave Beijing tomorrow, and she is not afraid of leaking the news. She still has to cheer up, and there are a lot of chores to take care of.

Shuning's mind was occupied by this incident, and it was not until she returned to Huaiyuan to see the second sister-in-law that she temporarily threw it away. pestered her for a long time. After Duan Ning returned. And he said many things. She didn't go home until late in the evening.

Tong Ying surprisingly hasn't come back yet, and Shuning recounts what she wants to bring. While thinking back to the news I heard from the Lee family. She had the impulse to tell Tongying, but then she thought that this matter involved Wanning's ** and it was about crossing, so it was better not to mention it, so she suppressed her thoughts.

After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly woke up and knocked herself on the head hard. What do you do with so much trouble? Regardless of whether Wanning has amnesia or wears it again, it is better to live a quiet life in the Grange than to be under house arrest in the palace. Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I can't help at all, so it's better to put more effort into my own affairs.

At this time, Sandalwood came into the house and asked her if she wanted to eat, and she was so hungry that she was growling, and when she saw that Tongying had not come back, she confessed to eat some snacks first, and then have dinner when Tongying came back. But she thinks it's a little strange, so it stands to reason that Tongying should have come back, right?

Tong Ying actually left the homes of several teachers very early, but when she returned to the inner city, she unexpectedly ran into the old department of Luan Yiwei. He was a little gloomy and wanted to avoid the other party, but he greeted him first, so he had to smile and greet him.

When the Luan guards heard that he was going north, they were very reluctant to do anything, and one of them said, "My lord...... Do you really want to go? In the past, we were ignorant, and now we all know when you are for our good...... Can you go back to Luan's guard, and we'll ...... you as before."

Several big men nodded their heads, but Tongying smiled faintly: "What stupid thing did you say?" I did make a mistake and was punished, and now that you have a new boss, don't say that in front of them. ”

The newly appointed Minister of Luan Yiwei is not the original popular candidate, but he was promoted from the Minister of the Interior, and the new Luan Yiwei is a deputy general transferred back from other provinces, and I heard that people are very strict, and the people of Luan Yiwei have been easily used to it under him before, probably not very used to it.

One of the people whispered next to him, "We all know it, adults...... You paid the money for the people from the younger family to send the spirit back to their hometown, and you sent his uncle's family away...... Thankfully, they had several brothers who left early...... Now they've all suffered......"

Tong Ying's expression froze: "What's the matter?" Someone is taking revenge on you? ”

The other looked left and right and lowered his voice and replied, "It's nothing, I was sent to a remote place...... Actually, it's better to be quieter. We were all doing chores at the beginning, but now we are all doing chores, in fact, we are all doing chores, anyway, we are also our own brothers......"

A few others followed Ying and Tongying, but they heard the clue and endured their anger and said: "I can't help much now, I will tell my brother when I go back, and let him take care of you more." You should also be cautious, forget all the things in the past, don't mention it in front of people, otherwise ......" paused and sighed: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." As long as you don't make stupid mistakes, you can't stand it, so find a way to find an errand outside. ”

After separating from his old subordinates, Tongying was in a bad mood, so he slowly rode his horse and paced home, but he was stopped halfway, and when he saw the man, he was stunned first, and only heard the man say: "Fourth master, please have a cup of tea and rest." ”

Tong Ying sighed, got off the horse, and followed him to a remote alley, where there was a quiet small teahouse, with the words "Lao Fan Tearoom" written on it. Entering the teahouse, he was taken to a private room, and the person in the room turned around, and sure enough, it was the fourth elder brother.

Tongying hesitated for a moment but sat down. A young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old came over with a tea set and tea leaves and asked the fourth elder brother softly: "Is it still the same?" The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, and the young man began to make tea, his movements were extremely elegant, and he brewed two cups and served them to the fourth elder brother and Tongying before whispering: "Please use it." Then he withdrew.

The fourth elder brother picked up the teacup and smiled lightly: "This Boss Fan has very good skills, can you try it?" Tong Ying looked at him and sighed softly, "You didn't call me here today to drink tea, did you?" ”

The fourth elder brother paused, put down the teacup, and was silent for a while before saying, "A few days ago...... Thank you and the fifth brother......"

Tongying chuckled: "What is there to thank for?" Sooner or later, the fifth elder brother will figure it out, and that thing ...... I don't recognize it for you. ”

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, it might be me." Anyway, I will keep your feelings in mind. It's a pity that I can't help you now, you can only ......"

Tongying waved her hand: "If you say this, you will be divided." There's nothing bad about Fengtian now, I proposed to go to Fengtian by myself, and you don't have to be such a mother-in-law. Wouldn't it be a gossip to secretly call me to meet and let people know? You just have to do your own thing, if you really want to help, take care of me and take care of Luan's brothers, don't let them suffer. ”

The fourth elder brother nodded solemnly: "Don't worry." Later...... If there's anything that can help......" Tong Ying stopped him from continuing: "Don't say anything, if you really have the heart to gain momentum in the future, just arrange a quiet errand for me." ”

He looked up at the sky outside: "It's not too early, my wife is still waiting for me to eat, you should come back early." After that, he took a sip of tea and took a sip of it and exhaled: "It's really good tea." Then he turned and walked away. The fourth elder brother silently watched him go away for a long time before turning back and saying to the owner of the tea room: "Please also ask Brother Jinchun to find a few good tea leaves for me to prepare for the New Year's gift, and I will send someone to pick it up in a few days." ”

Early the next morning, Prince Jian's sons, Yaerjianga and Duanning, all went to the home of their younger siblings to see them off. Tongying and Shuning and their entourage, including people and luggage, had a total of six carriages, plus about 20 horseback attendants, and set off from Desheng Gate to the north.

At this time, it is approaching the wax moon, and the farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes. They didn't meet many pedestrians along the official road. Since they had to leave earlier than the rest of the people who had returned to the tun, there was no time limit, so they hurried slowly. It took 10 days to walk. On the way, when spending the night in the post house, Tongying also went to inquire about the situation in Fengtian from the military attaches who passed through and entered Beijing, and also had some understanding of the current situation in Fengtian City.

All the way, Shuning and Tongying nested together in the carriage, and the stove was placed in the carriage, and they were dressed thickly, and each hugged a hand stove, and they didn't feel cold at all. Shuning chatted with Tongying with great interest about things when she was a child, whether it was Fengtian or Guangzhou, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

As they got closer and closer to Fengtian City, Shuning gradually saw a large grassland after a long absence, although it was still covered by wind and snow, but the spacious avenue, the tall trees beside the road, the carriages coming and going, and the farmhouses dotted in the field, the Fengtian in his memory gradually became clear.

When she saw the familiar and unfamiliar Fengtian City Gate appear in front of her, she suddenly had a sour nose and almost burst into tears. Tong Ying turned to her and smiled brightly, "We're home." ”

(It seems impossible to conclude the article at the end of the year, so let's end it tomorrow.) I'm hesitating whether to write a big chapter or two chapters. Anyway, today is a real record...... ）
