Chapter 91: Wait for Me
Murong Chu sighed lightly: "I'm afraid it will be a few more days, and the person who will replace me will not arrive until twenty days later, and it will take a few days to deliver." But I'll try to get back to the capital as soon as possible. ”
"Well, then I'll be waiting for you in the capital." Mo Li's eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Murong Chu tightened his arms, as if he wanted to rub the person in his arms into his own blood.
The day of leaving for Beijing came in a blink of an eye, and Ruoping packed the clothes and supplies that Murong Chu had prepared for Mo Li into the box one by one. Mo Li looked at the dozen or so large boxes in the courtyard and sighed, with so many things, I'm afraid I can't go back to Beijing quickly this time.
Ruoping suggested that the four mothers-in-law only bring Mama Zhao and another Mama Li, on the grounds that Mama Zhao was meticulous and good at grooming, so she could help Ruoping serve Mo Li's daily life. Mama Li not only cooks well, but also has a good hand in needlework. The most important point is that these two people have no drag at home, and they are suitable to follow into Beijing.
Mo Li had no objection to Ruoping's suggestion, and immediately asked Ruoping to reward the other two mothers-in-law with money and send them back to Zhao De.
Everything was cleaned up, and Mo Jinhua also entered the county seat of Laizhou accompanied by Murong Chu.
At the beginning, Mo Jinxi's disappearance was not publicized, so he just followed the travelers and said that his sister lived in a relative's house in Laizhou County, and this time he was going to take a detour to pick her up and return to Beijing with him. In this way, you can not only avoid the eyes and ears of other people, but also hide the fact that Mo Li once mixed in the military camp. After all, the eldest lady of an official eunuch family has been in the barracks for so long, and if it spreads, it will definitely shock the jaws of the world.
When Mo Jinhua saw Mo Li, who was wearing a pale green brocade narrow-sleeved top with a goose yellow fine brocade skirt, he kept nodding his head and said, "I finally saw the old stream again." ”
Mo Li stepped forward and blessed his body: "General, brother, you are here!" The movements seemed to come at will, and even she was startled. Since I came to this world, I have seen people holding their fists and never saying ten thousand blessings, why are they so skilled? It's simply incredible.
Ruoping took Mama Zhao and Mama Li over to kowtow to Mo Jinhua and Murong Chu, and Murong Chu pointed to the three of them: "Brother Jinhua, these three people are from my friends in Tolai Zhou City to serve Miss Mo on the way." ”
Mo Jinhua looked at the three of them, and saw that they were all upright, not treacherous people, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver first, and if you serve well on the road, you will be rewarded when you arrive in the capital." ”
The little guy who followed behind him immediately stepped forward and gave the silver reward. The three of them hurriedly thanked them, except for Ruoping's calm complexion, Mama Zhao and Mama Li were all full of joy.
Mo Jinhua pulled Mo Li over and saluted Murong Chu and said, "Brother Murong for your trouble, Jinhua and Little Sister thank Brother Murong." ”
Murong Chu cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Jinhua, you and my brother don't have to be polite, these are all things that my brother should do." There was a place to snub Miss Jinxi before, and Miss Haihan was invited. ”
This is the first time that Murong Chu has called Mo Li Jinxi, her face is slightly red, and she is slightly blessed: "The general's words are serious, Jinxi is taken care of by the general, where will there be neglect." ”
Murong Chu was fascinated by her dignified and pretty color, and hurriedly narrowed his gaze and said with a smile: "Miss Jinxi is polite." ”
Mo Li was afraid that his brother would see the clues, so he didn't dare to say more. I just listened quietly to the greetings between Murong Chu and Mo Jinhua without nutrition, hoping that the things would be loaded into the car as soon as possible, so as to end this embarrassing situation quickly.
Murong Chu asked people to prepare five carriages, three for luggage, one for servants to sit on, and the other simple but exquisite blue lacquer carriage was of course for Mo Li. After more than a dozen large boxes were packed, Mo Jinhua's servant came to ask if he could set off.
Mo Li suddenly felt a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Mo Jinhua, so he could only be helped into the carriage by Ruoping.
After Mo Jinhua said goodbye to Murong Chu, he got into his own carriage at the front. Murong Chu flew on his horse and followed the convoy.
With the crisp sound of the whip, the convoy moved slowly. Mo Li lifted the curtain slightly, and saw Murong Chu sitting upright and looking slightly sideways in her direction. The handsome and resolute face shone in the sun, and just a glance back made Mo Li's eyes red. She hurriedly lowered the curtain of the car, and Ruoping, who was in the same car, handed over a handkerchief and comforted: "Miss, the master will return to the capital soon." ”
The convoy went all the way out of Laizhou County, and Murong Chu followed the car silently. When they arrived at an official road more than ten miles away from the county seat of Laizhou, Qincha's entourage had been waiting here for a long time.
Mo Jinhua said goodbye to Murong Chu again, but Mo Li didn't dare to get out of the car, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and be seen by others.
The convoy started again, and Mo Li raised the curtain again. Next to the official road, Murong Chu's tall body sat on the horse, his deep eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, Mo Li reluctantly raised a smile and waved his hand through the car window.
The corners of Murong Chu's lips moved, and he silently said the words "wait for me". Mo Li nodded vigorously, lowered the curtain, leaned against the window lattice, and the tears could no longer be controlled.
The convoy continued to move forward until it disappeared from view, and Murong Chu still stood like a statue on the official road. Eleven carefully reminded: "Master, it's time to go back." ”
Murong Chu turned the horse's head and whipped the horse, and the oolong horse galloped out like an arrow from the string. The guards followed, and in an instant, the horses roared on the official road, and a group of men and horses disappeared at great speed.
Mo Li cried for a while, wiped away the tears on her face, and half-leaned on the soft couch in the carriage in a daze. Ruoping is not a very consoling person, so he can only stay by silently.
The convoy walked for almost an hour before Mo Li slowly sat up: "Ruoping, how many days do you say it will take us to get to the capital?" ”
Ruoping saw that she finally came to her senses, so he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, saying, "At this rate of travel, it is estimated that it will take at least twenty days." If it rains again and the roads are muddy, it may be slower. ”
"Alas...... If only there were a plane, this is a little more than an hour away. Mo Li muttered to herself, she hated ancient traffic.
Ruoping frowned: "Miss, what is the plane you are talking about?" How could a chicken fly. ”
Mo Li burst out laughing: "I'll talk about it casually, where are there any flying chickens." ”
"Who's to say it's not, even a pheasant can't fly a hundred or ten meters at most. Miss is really cranky. Ruoping saw that Mo Li's mood was better, so he smiled and teased.
Mo Li put down the cup in his hand, lifted the curtain and looked out: "Ruoping, you said that when we arrive in the capital, shouldn't your master also rush back?" ”
"Miss, don't worry, it won't take us long to get to the capital, and the master will also arrive." If Ping really doesn't understand, these two people have just separated, how can they think like this?
