Chapter 30: The Journey
That night, Yang Ning hurriedly left Tianxiang Courtyard, preparing to return to the capital and give things to the prince to return to his life.
Early the next morning, when Fu Yunyan got up, the sun had already risen high, hitting Fu Yunyan's eyes and forcing her to open her eyes.
Fu Yunyan reluctantly opened her eyes, but found that her eyes were swollen and almost couldn't be opened, and they felt a little red and swollen to the touch.
Fu Yunyan estimated that she cried too much last night, and it would be like this for a few days, and she didn't take it too seriously.
Fu Yunyan saw that it was not too early, and estimated that Xiao Qinghan should have been waiting for him for a while, so he quickly got up from the bed, patted the underwear on his body, and looked at himself a little embarrassed.
Fu Yunyan changed her clothes and reluctantly combed her hair, but it still looked messy, but she was able to go out.
Fu Yunyan watched herself toss in the past few days, and the few clothes that Xiao Qinghan brought to her were almost worn.
Finally, he took out the clothes that Fu Yunyan didn't like the most, the snow-white skirt, from the bottom.
It's not that Fu Yunyan doesn't like the color of this skirt, but it's too white, as if you've been reminding Fu Yunyan that you haven't dressed your parents and the people in your family with filial piety.
Fu Yunyan sighed, and finally put her clothes on her body, and then pushed the door and walked out.
As soon as the door was pushed open, what Fu Yunyan saw was Xiao Qinghan in the yard, Xiao Qinghan's strength could not show the slightest impatience, but his sideburns were slightly damp, and he told Fu Yunyan that he had been waiting for you for a long time.
Fu Yunyan smiled apologetically at Xiao Qinghan, "Why didn't you just call me up?" "
Xiao Qinghan shook his head and said, "Ignore it, there's nothing urgent about reacting, if you want to stay here, it doesn't hurt to stay for a day." "
When Fu Yunyan heard Xiao Qinghan's words, she only felt that her whole body was heating up, and she was very moved.
Seeing that the sun was almost in the sky, Fu Yunyan hurriedly said to Xiao Qinghan, "It's not early, let's get on the road." "
Xiao Qinghan nodded, and then walked out without hurry, Fu Yunyan knew that he was taking care of himself, so he hurriedly followed, so as not to waste time again.
Out of the back door of Tianxiang Pavilion, there was a black-painted carriage, which looked always dilapidated, and even the groom was a little old-fashioned.
Xiao Qinghan's face didn't show any expression, the carriage was very short, he walked up directly with his legs, looking incompatible with the dilapidated carriage.
Fu Yunyan knew that this must have been specially arranged by Xiao Qinghan, and she would not say much, watching Xiao Qinghan step forward, Fu Yunyan estimated that she would have to take some effort to step up, so she should climb up honestly.
Just as Fu Yunyan arrived at the place and was about to climb up, a white and slender hand stretched out from the carriage, Fu Yunyan knew that this was Xiao Qinghan preparing to pull himself, of course it would not be a good heart.
With Xiao Qinghan's hand, Fu Yunyan turned over into the carriage, and then walked in with her head down.
Fu Yunyan entered the carriage, and she was also a little helpless, Xiao Qinghan is really always this person, how dilapidated the outside is, how dilapidated the inside is, it looks like the person in the Zhuangzi, running back and forth, pulling some folks to earn some extra money.
When Fu Yunyan got into the carriage, she did the opposite side of Xiao Qinghan, and when she sat in, Fu Yunyan felt very aggrieved.
Fu Yunyan's stature is a little taller, it should be a little taller than an ordinary woman, Fu Yunyan looks uncomfortable when she sits in, not to mention Xiao Qinghan.
Fu Yunyan's knees were against Xiao Qinghan's knees, and there was no place for her legs.
Looking at Xiao Qinghan's indifferent appearance, Fu Yunyan thought that Xiao Qinghan didn't dislike anything, if he said anything, he was afraid that he would be too squeamish.
Xiao Qinghan actually felt very aggrieved, and regretted it for a while, why did he make such a broken carriage, he didn't say anything when he looked at Fu Yunyan, he was a big man, let alone said.
So the two of them got on the broken carriage and went on the road.
Along the way, Fu Yunyan looked out through the small holes in the shabby curtain from time to time, watched the carriage go out of the city unhurriedly, the bustling sound around was a lot smaller, looking at the more and more familiar appearance on the road, Fu Yunyan looked at Xiao Qinghan with a puzzled expression, "What?" This road seems to be back to Pingning County? "
Xiao Qinghan nodded expressionlessly and did not speak.
Fu Yunyan was a little angry, "Why did you send me back?" Do you ask me what I mean? "
Although Fu Yunyan was very angry, she still lowered her voice.
Xiao Qinghan couldn't see anything in his eyes, so he looked at Xiao Qinghan and said calmly, "I'm afraid it will take a long time for you to leave, so let's go see Master Fu first." "
The anger on Fu Yunyan's face froze at this moment, she looked at Xiao Qinghan in disbelief, she never thought that Xiao Qinghan would say this, and if she left, it would be almost impossible for her to come back.
After a long time, Fu Yunyan said to Xiao Qinghan, "Thank you." "
Then Fu Yunyan turned her head back, not wanting Xiao Qinghan to look at her ruddy eyes.
Xiao Qinghan didn't speak, or he knew he didn't need to say anything.
When the sun was about to set, Fu Yunyan arrived at the graves of everyone in the Fu family, and when Fu Yunyan got off the carriage, her footsteps looked vain, and the whole person was dangling.
Xiao Qinghan supported Fu Yunyan from behind, and then walked steadily towards the mound.
It didn't take long for the already small mound to blend in with the surroundings.
Out of Fu Yunyan and Xiao Qinghan, no one knew that the former Pingning County magistrate and his family were buried here.
Fu Yunyan broke away from Xiao Qinghan and staggered to a place where there was a little undulation.
Fu Yunyan knelt on the ground, and said in her heart, Father, mother and daughter have come to see you.
Fu Yunyan suddenly regretted that if she hadn't escaped, she should have been buried here with her father and mother.
Xiao Qinghan looked at Fu Yunyan's appearance and turned his body back.
After a while, Xiao Qinghan saw Fu Yunyan walking back step by step, Fu Yunyan had never been so glad that she was wearing a white dress today.
"Why don't you stay a little longer? "
Xiao Qinghan asked with a puzzled expression, he thought that Fu Yunyan would stay here for a while longer, but he never thought that Fu Yunyan would come back so soon.
Fu Yunyan smiled far-fetchedly, and shook her head at Xiao Qinghan, "Father and mother, they are fine, there is a little brother, they must be very happy, and they definitely don't want to see them sad for these things." "
Xiao Qinghan patted Fu Yunyan on the shoulder, he admired Fu Yunyan a little, it was rare to have such a smart woman.
The deceased is deceased, and the living can only stay with their last wishes and move forward with a burden.
"It's rare that you will understand, let's go, go to Changzhou. "
Xiao Qinghan's tone softened a little when he spoke, which made Fu Yunyan feel a little comforted.
"Let's go. "
Fu Yunyan's face couldn't see the slightest sadness, nor could she see the emotion of sadness.
The two got into the carriage again, and Xiao Qinghan consciously tilted his leg to the right side, leaving a large space for Fu Yunyan.
This time, the knees of the two were finally not together, and Fu Yunyan also felt that the carriage was a lot more spacious, and her mood was much better than when she came out.
The carriage of Taratara's kept running, more like walking.
But it's better to have a carriage than to walk on two legs.
Fu Yunyan watched the coachman change direction and run out in another direction, looking at the surrounding scenery unfamiliar.
Fu Yunyan's heart is no longer sad, but she is confused about the future.
It was getting darker, and then the carriage stopped at a place called Chencun, but the village seemed to be very crowded, and there were only a few families.
Xiao Qinghan pulled Fu Yunyan out, and then the two walked into Chen Village together, looking at a slightly larger family at the head of the village, Xiao Qinghan pulled Fu Yunyan and walked there.
Standing at the door, Xiao Qinghan knocked on the door of the house, and waited for a while before seeing an elderly woman walk out, standing in the middle of the courtyard and asking, "Who?" "
Fu Yunyan looked at the old woman in the courtyard with a surprised expression, how could she not expect that it would be an old woman who came out, what about the man in this family?
Xiao Qinghan is obviously a veteran of staying overnight, and when he heard the old woman asking, he hurriedly said, "Old woman, my sister and I were forced out of the house by our stepmother, and we were going to Changzhou to join relatives, and we wanted to spend the night with you." "
The old woman pricked up her ears and heard Xiao Qinghan's voice, and felt that she didn't look like a bad person, so she walked towards the door little by little with a cane.
When she arrived at the door, the old woman took off the door bolt, opened a small gap, and looked at Xiao Qinghan and Fu Yunyan from the gap.
Seeing that it was a man and a woman, two young girls and a son, the two looked very gentle, not like bad people, the old woman opened the door, "Come in, come in." "
Xiao Qinghan watched the old woman open the door, and said earnestly to the old woman, "Old woman, my sister and I were kicked out by our stepmother, but fortunately, we had my mother's loyal servant, so I ran out with some money." "
When the old woman heard Xiao Qinghan say this, she sighed and said, "It's all hard-working children, come in quickly." "
Xiao Qinghan nodded at Fu Yunyan, and then followed the old woman into the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Fu Yunyan began to look up and down, originally looking at the old woman's house as the largest, it should be good, but she didn't expect that the old woman's house was in a dilapidated state.
Fu Yunyan couldn't help but ask, "Old woman, are you alone at home?" "
The old woman sighed and said with a sad face, "Let's go in and talk about it." "
Fu Yunyan saw the sad appearance of the old woman and regretted it for a while, why did she ask the old woman.
Then Fu Yunyan looked at her nose and nose, and didn't dare to speak, it seemed that the old woman's family should have had an accident.
Fu Yunyan looked at the barrenness in the yard this time, and then she understood why the old woman's yard was so dilapidated.
