Chapter 19: The Departure
It wasn't until half a month when she was ready to leave for Kyoto that Mu Qingya saw Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling again! After this grounding, the two of them looked much better than before, at least they didn't show that arrogant demeanor when they saw her, their expressions were much calmer, the two were still wearing the same style of goose yellow dress, but Mu Jinglan's face was a lot haggard, and even Mu Shiling was less elf than usual.
On the edge of the riverside wharf, there are people who come and go to watch the excitement. The people of the Mu family occupy half of the pier.
Mu Yizhi looked at the more stable and dignified daughter-in-law, and her heart was complicated: "Ya'er, Kyoto is not as good as at home, you have to take good care of yourself and your mother!" ”
Mu Qingya with a melty smile, standing quietly by the river, beautiful as a wonderful pen of ink and water: "Father rest assured, Qingya will take good care of her mother, and she will not let herself have trouble!" ”
Mu Yizhi nodded, his eyes swept over the sisters Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling, who said goodbye to Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang's face was unnaturally pale, and she was hugging the two concubines and shedding tears, as if she had been wronged, he was irritable when he saw it, and sighed lightly: "Your two sisters ......"
"Father, since they are Qingya's sisters, I, as a younger sister, will naturally take care of them."
Her tone was flat, as if she was saying the most ordinary words, but Mu Yizhi heard a chill from it, he heard the matter of Mu Jinglan's sisters half a month ago, he was also very annoyed by the confusion of these two people, and he was even more distressed that they disregarded etiquette for a foreign man to embarrass his daughter, but after all, he was his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't do anything to mutilate flesh and blood! Seeing Qingya's expression, thinking that it was indeed she who forced it, if the two of them didn't treat Qingya as a sister, how could she maintain them? What's more, the situation in Kyoto is unknown, but no one can make mistakes!
"Well, Ya'er, you...... Look at it yourself, and believe in you for the Father! ”
Mu Qingya's eyelashes trembled, her heart shook slightly, she didn't expect Mu Yizhi to say this, and a little warmth flowed in her heart: "I know, father!" ”
Mu Yizhi nodded and explained a few words to Qin Yue, and then a little guy came over and said that he could go! Qin Yue led everyone to say goodbye to Mu Yizhi: "Master must take care of himself at home, and don't hurt himself for official business!" Jinghui wants to tell the master a lot for his mother! ”
Mu Jinghui stepped forward and said: "Mother don't worry, Jinghui will pay attention, mother be careful all the way!" ”
After everyone said goodbye, a magnificent big ship had already set up the plank, Mu Qingya helped Qin Yue to get on the boat, and Leqin, Leqi, and Mama Zhou followed closely by her side.
The people on the shore kept pointing and discussing the big boat, their eyes were full of amazement, this boat was specially sent by the Qin family to pick up Qin Yue and others, when she originally learned the news, Mu Qingya was surprised for a long time, she didn't expect the Qin family to use such a big hand! Qin Jiannan, as the prince of the dynasty, has been in office for ten years, and has quite prestige in the court, there must be not a few people who go to pay homage to his birthday this time, but the Qin family sent a big ship to pick up Qin Yue's mother and daughter, no matter how you look at it, this matter reveals an unusual taste!
The ship set sail slowly, and Mu Qingya followed Qin Yue to stand at the bow of the boat until she couldn't see the shadow of Mu Yizhi and the others, and then they went back to their respective rooms!
Watching Leqin go down to make tea, Le Qi walked to Mu Qingya's side: "Miss, this is the slave maid asked the butler to hand it over to you before leaving!" ”
Mu Qingya took the wax pill handed by Leqin, crushed it, and took out the note placed in it, and there were only a few words on the small note: "I'm waiting for you in Kyoto - Jinghong!" Gently hooked the corners of his mouth, this shocking Hong really wants to find an opportunity to show his existence at any time!
Le Qi stood aside, not looking at Mu Qingya's expression, but in his heart he was thinking about Wei Yi's trembling expression when he handed over the note, and secretly wondered in his heart: He didn't put Miss in his eyes at the beginning, what is it now, he is not honest and honest who was cleaned up by Miss, hum, I think he took the bottle of medicine given by Miss to find her, and he was surprised that he couldn't find Bei, and kept saying that with this bottle of medicine, his disguise technique could go to a higher level, and he swore that he would find the formula from Miss, and he didn't want to find the formula but almost poisoned himself if he didn't find it. Since then, he has never dared to take the idea of prescription again, not only that, but every time he sees Miss, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and he doesn't dare to breathe! He wasn't even so honest in front of his master!
After reading it, he directly tore up the note and threw it into the spittoon, Mu Qingya said: "Le Qi, you have to pay attention to the birthday gift I prepared these days, I don't want anything to happen before I offer it!" ”
"Miss, rest assured, the slave maid has made people keep the birthday gift at all times, and will never let anything go wrong with the birthday ceremony!"
"Hmm!" Mu Qingya replied softly and looked out of the boat through the window.
At this time, Jiangnan is in July, it is the hot season that people can't stand it, because on the water, the speed is also fast, but you can feel the cool breeze, which makes people feel refreshed, and the river is lush and green on both sides of the river, which is particularly pleasing to the eye! Seeing the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the information given by Steward Fu, she couldn't help but sigh, the current emperor Duanmuqing is indeed a rare good emperor! At the age of fifteen, he went into battle and went to the battlefield in person, and made great achievements! At the age of seventeen, he officially inherited the throne, because he was young, he was coerced by the ministers, so he had to secretly keep his head in obscurity, and at the age of nineteen, he killed the ill-intentioned imperial uncle Duanmu Cang and the great minister Gongsun Wu, and completely took over the government! After that, he led the troops to regain the Biansaihu tribe, and expanded the border of Yuhan by one-third, which is an unprecedented achievement! It's just a slight handicap in character, which may be influenced by his previous experience and military career, he advocates force, advocates the rule of law, formulates relatively perfect laws, and is extremely disgusted with ministers' private friendships, and is even stricter with the prince, from the age of six to get up in the middle of the year to study, and after the crown, he has to enter the army for three years! Although the regulations are strict, the princes who have been trained are all extraordinary, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!
Le Qin brought the fruit up: "Miss, this is something sent by Madame, saying that Miss should rest first!" ”
"Hmm!" Mu Qingya took a grape and gently peeled off the thin skin, revealing the crystal flesh, the entrance was sweet and full of juice, and she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, "It's really good!" ”
"This is what Mrs. made people shake with ice, I'm afraid that Miss will be too hot and unwilling to move!" Le Qi saw that Mu Qingya was satisfied with her food, and hurriedly explained!
Listening to Leqin's words, Mu Qingya's plain eyes were dyed with a little warmth, I don't know if it was because of her previous life, her appetite was much smaller than her predecessor, and she couldn't stand the hot weather, Qin Yue was not less worried after she knew it! That kind of motherly heart always makes her a little at a loss and full of emotion! It's hard to have ice to use in such weather: "Mother is always so attentive!" ”
"Miss's heart is also meticulous, otherwise she can't remind Madam in such a timely manner, otherwise she should let Aunt Wang take advantage!" Thinking of the news she heard before leaving, Leqin was still a little unhappy, this Aunt Wang couldn't help but drug and murder Mrs., and also gave Mrs. eye medicine in front of the master, hum, fortunately there is a young lady, otherwise Mrs. doesn't know how much grievances she has to suffer!
Feeling her grievances, Mu Qingya chuckled, this matter was originally extremely simple, when she heard the news from Kyoto and asked Qin Yue to take Mu Qingya to celebrate her birthday, the Wang family was worried that Qin Yue would not take Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling to go, after all, these two daughters were not raised under her name, and everyone in a family like the Qin family has always been distinct, not to mention that the Mu Jinglan sisters are still the daughter of a concubine, she is married from Kyoto, so she naturally knows the difference between Kyoto and Linjiang. Originally, I thought that the two sisters would marry into the Jiangnan official mansion, so that her status could be stabilized and even rise, but I didn't expect a better opportunity to fall from the sky, Kyoto is a place where powerful people gather, their appearance is superior, if she is favored by a nobleman, then she is a step to the sky! With such an idea, how can she feel at ease and send her two sisters to Kyoto no matter what! So he cried in front of Mu Yizhi, not only expressing his love for his two daughters, but also implying that Qin Yue treated his concubines harshly, and also gave his two daughters a chance to fly on the branches, but he didn't want Qin Yue to have already told Mu Yizhi about it, which made Mu Yizhi angry, and his original good impression of her disappeared, so he directly asked Yahuan to "send" her! This is the scene of mother and daughter crying on the pier! I'm afraid she also knows that after this experience, Mu Yizhi will be even more indifferent to her!
For Aunt Wang's thoughts, Mu Qingya disdainfully ignored them, Mu Jinglan sisters are considered famous ladies in Linjiang City, and they barely won the title of Linjiang Shuangshu, if they stay in Jiangnan with peace of mind, they can also find a better home and a stable life, but their minds are too big, and the people who die secretly in Kyoto every day are probably much more noble than their status, if they have the heart, she doesn't mind pulling them, if not, then they can only let Mu Yizhi sad once, after all, sad to lose two concubines, it is better than watching the house and destroying the door: "Le Qi." , go and tell Mama Zhou to teach her etiquette quickly, and be sure to teach their etiquette well before arriving in Kyoto! ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!"
Leqin saw that Mu Qingya's eyebrows showed a tired state, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, Mama Zhou came from Kyoto with her wife, it is not a problem to teach the eldest lady and the second miss, you should take advantage of the cool weather this time to rest for a while!" The slaves and maids have all been packed up for you! ”
Listening to Leqin's brisk tone, Mu Qingya's eyes were also dyed with a smile: "Okay, call me in an hour, I want to eat with my mother!" ”
"Okay, the slave knows!"
The big boat goes straight to the Jinjiang River along the river, and then goes up the river into Hengshui, and slowly sails to Kyoto!
