The carriage moved slowly along the mountain road, the rhythm of swaying slightly, and the warm sunlight shining through the windows.

Cui'er yawned slightly, put down the notebook in her hand, twisted a sugar-soaked plum from the plate next to her and put it in her mouth, because of the shaking of the carriage and the sleepiness caused by it, with the sweet and sour plum dissipated.

Looking down at the soft and small bag lying in the cradle, the two children were sleeping sweetly with their little fists, and their little faces were pink and tender, looking very cute.

"Cui'er, if you're sleepy, just sleep for a while." Lian Qingshan, who was sitting on the side and reading the accounts, looked at Cui'er's gentle smile, couldn't help but smile too, helped Cui'er brush her hair that was a little scattered by the wind, and reached out to pull the thin quilt on her body, "There are still two hours to go from the village in front, you can sleep for a while now, just in time for dinner." ”

"I don't sleep anymore, I sleep a lot now, I can't sleep at night." Cui'er shook her head, yawned and said.

It has been three full days since I set off from Gushantun to Beijing, and although my carriage is not going fast, I have already walked out of this vast mountain.

In the past three days, although she could find a village to spend her night in, because it was not her own kang and she was uncertain about the future of entering Beijing, Cui'er did not sleep well at night.

Because she doesn't sleep well at night, she will be sleepy during the day, Cui'er can't stand it and sleep for a while during the day, and at night she will be refreshed and unable to sleep more and more. After three days, Cui'er knew that she couldn't go on like this, Rao was sleepy during the day, and she refused to sleep more, only taking a nap after lunch. lest you go in a vicious circle and mess up your own routine.

"Come, big girl, let me see how your handkerchief is doing." Cui'er looked at the girl who was doing needlework seriously with her head down, and gently touched her hair. Looking at the girl who turned out to be like bean sprouts, she was already white and clean, with bright eyes and bright teeth, smart and diligent, Cui'er couldn't help but feel proud in her heart.

"Mother, here you go!" The big girl obediently handed over the half-embroidered handkerchief in her hand. I saw three or four half-opened begonia flowers embroidered on the top, pink and tender color, although the needlework is immature, the feet are messy, but you can also see the general appearance.

"Hmm. Yes, these petals are embroidered decently. Cui'er praised and pointed out two deficiencies, and then handed the handkerchief back to the eldest girl, "Take a break from time to time and look at the scenery outside, we have a long way into Beijing, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

"Hmm!" The big girl nodded. looked at Xiaohu, who didn't know when he had fallen asleep on the mat, reached out and touched his forehead, looking at no sweat. Only then did he insert the needle into the wire board, and received the secret head of the carriage on the side, and then was pulled into her arms by Cui'er, talking softly while looking at the mountains outside.

Because he knew that the road to Beijing was not easy to walk, Cui'er's father felt sorry for his daughter. I was afraid that she would be tired from the long journey, so she was in the time before departure. They managed to find someone to build the carriage they were sitting in now.

Because I have to hurry, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk through a relatively narrow place. So the carriage is not too wide, but it is longer than the carriage next to it, so the space inside is not narrow. And because this carriage is exquisitely made, it not only has the seat that ordinary carriages have, but also has a fixed table, hidden storage drawers, and a hidden compartment for bedding.

And after knowing that Cui'er was pregnant, the equipment on the carriage was even more complete, with thickened brocade pads, shock-absorbing bow springs, and tires-like things covered on wooden wheels that I didn't know where to go, plus the newly arranged equipment in the carriage, this was simply a small room that could be moved.

"Big girl, because my father and grandpa don't know the situation in the capital, so after we arrive in the capital, we won't send you and Xiaohu back directly, and when my father and grandpa ask about the situation in the capital and confirm that General Yang is at home, my mother will send you back to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." Cui'er looked at the mountains in the distance, and felt that the big girl in her arms was still uneasy in her heart, so she said softly.

"Well......" The big girl didn't say much, and after humming softly, she lowered her head, since Cui'er said her life experience, her mood was very complicated, on the one hand, she was very proud to have a father who fought for the country and the family, but on the other hand, she felt reluctant to be the current father.

"Girl, I heard my mother say that sending you back to the capital is not that my father and mother want to leave you, but I want you to live a better life, do you understand?" Cui'er looked at the big girl with a sad expression, knowing that she was uncomfortable, but she still said tirelessly.

"Girl, you are the daughter of General Yang, a serious eldest lady in the general's mansion, and a famous family, so you should get a better life, better family affairs, no worries about food and clothing, no need to work hard for a lifetime, get the glory you deserve, and keep the family business you should keep...... You shouldn't be with me and your father, trapped in the mountains for the rest of your life. Cui'er gently stroked the girl's forehead and said gently.

"And Xiaohu is the son of General Yang, although he was born when the general didn't know, but he is the general's serious son-in-law, even if General Yang doesn't kill the enemy on the battlefield, his identity is enough for the general's mansion to invite a good master to teach him to learn literature and martial arts, and show his strength in the court in the future, this is the way he should go."

"If Xiaohu has been following us, if he wants to show his revenge, it will not be so convenient, Wen needs to take the imperial examination, from Tongsheng to Xiucai, from Xiucai to Juren, every step of the way to the examination, it is possible to be an official. If you take the path of martial arts, you need to go to the battlefield, like your father, and get up from the corpses on the battlefield with military skills......" Cui'er said this, her emotions were already very excited, she took a few deep breaths, and her lips trembled, "I am reluctant to let you suffer like this!" ”

"Mother......" The big girl listened to Cui'er's words, threw herself into Cui'er's arms and choked softly, the big girl had to think that her previous thoughts were too naïve, and she only thought that her mother was going to send herself and her younger brother back to the general's mansion, and she didn't have to worry about herself anymore, but she didn't expect that her mother thought so much and thought so far, and misunderstood her mother's good intentions, and couldn't help but cry like rain of shame.

"Big girl, why are you crying while talking?" Cui'er looked at the crying of the big girl, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, this child is really a well-behaved and sensible person, if she doesn't get older, if she doesn't send it back to the general's mansion, she won't be able to marry in the name of the general's sister in the future, how can Cui'er be willing to send her back?

"Girl, don't worry, after my father and mother arrive in the capital, I will buy a house in the capital, and when the time comes, I will live for a few days in the past year, as long as you want, you can go home at any time, okay?" Cui'er's heart was so tight that she cried with the big girl, thinking that this well-behaved and lovely child would leave her side when she arrived in the capital, and Cui'er's tears couldn't help but fall down.

"Mother, don't cry, you still have a little brother in your belly, don't cry and hurt your body." The big girl looked at Cui'er and cried, and quickly collected her tears, for fear of provoking Cui'er to cry and hurt her body, "Mother, let's not cry, the big girl will be fine, the big girl has always been the big girl of her mother's mother, the big girl will take good care of herself and her younger brother, mother, you can rest assured!" ”

"Okay, my eldest girl is the most obedient and sensible, let's study hard along the way, the daughters of big families should know, we have learned, save yourself from being looked down upon in the capital and laughing, do you say okay?" Cui'er watched the girl sensibly persuade herself, and hurriedly held back her tears, gently wiped the girl's face with a handkerchief, and comforted softly.

Cui'er thought about bringing more silver to the big girl, and thought that her small family had no place to stay in the capital, and the big girl would not even have a place to go in the future, and she needed to buy more industries.

Cui'er thought about it so slowly, and felt more and more that her idea was feasible, and the biggest possibility that her own family could now use to do business was tea, whether it was the tea of the Huxi Ye family, or the tea of the Lianjia family in Shantun, it had good quality, even if her own tea was not famous now, it didn't matter, with her own father, it was good to slowly open up the market.

Cui'er thought so, and suddenly thought that it would be good if there was a shopkeeper like Brother Qian, but unfortunately he didn't invite Brother Qian to accompany him, and if he didn't open a shop in the capital, the shopkeeper wouldn't have to worry.

When Cui'er was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind her, and the clear sound of horses' hooves was very rapid and very chaotic, Cui'er turned around, only to see a carriage coming hurriedly from behind, the carriage was driven very fast, and the back of the carriage was dusty.

"Dodge!" Uncle Zhong, who led the convoy, saw the situation of the carriage behind him, and commanded the guards and coachmen to drive the carriage to the side of the road to avoid the speeding carriage.

After the carriage had been stopped, the coachmen of the carriages in the convoy jumped out of the carriage one after another, took hold of the reins of the horses and stood still, brushing without any confusion or making too much noise, obviously accustomed to such things.

And this action is not to say fear or anything, but when you go out, everything is safe, and when you encounter a scene that may startle the horse, you flash to the side, and wait for the wind and waves to calm down before leaving.

The galloping carriage slowed down slowly at the back of the convoy, and then a loud voice came from behind, "The convoy in front, but the surname is Lian?" (To be continued)
