Chapter 49: Departure

 : : : : Early in the morning after tomorrow, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan came to Canglangju with the gold bricks after practicing. Today, because they went to the temple to burn incense and make vows, the three of them were wearing plain clothes, combing the same double bun, with a red coral chain around the bun, and only Qi Pan and Xiaoyu were wearing ruby collars.

 : : : : Because he might have to see Murong Hua, Xiaoyu deliberately brought Bai Fu and Bai Rong with him. Since she wanted to stay in the Big Buddha Temple for a night, Aunt Liu also had to accompany her, so Xiaoyu instructed a few third-class little girls to guard the courtyard gate and not let outsiders in at will.

 : : : : When I arrived at Canglangju, the second prince Guo Di was also there, and Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback. But Qi Pan seemed to know it a long time ago, and stepped forward to salute him unhurriedly.

 : : : :Xiaoyu and Jin Brick also followed Qi Pan to greet the second prince. Guo Di is wearing a narrow-sleeved short shirt specially for horseback riding today, with thin-soled fast boots on his feet, and his spirit is neat, which is eye-catching.

 : : : :Mrs. saw Xiaoyu's face surprised, so she said: "Xiaoyu, don't you know, every year I wish Di'er would follow us all the way." Xiao Yu suddenly realized, presumably Murong Hua also learned from the second prince that the Hou Mansion would go to the Great Buddha Temple to repay his vows at this time every year, so he specially invited him. Thinking of this, the depression of the past two days like a big stone pressing on his chest has only dissipated a little.

 : : : :She smiled and said obediently: "With Cousin Di with her, that Heng'er must be very happy!" As soon as the words fell, Qi Heng happened to run in on his feet, and when he heard Xiaoyu's words, he shouted: "Second sister, you know me too well!" He ran out of breath.

 : : : : "Young master, you wait for the slave, don't run so fast!" With a shout, the little heron also trotted in, and when he saw that the house was full of people, he quickly stopped and saluted.

 : : : :Mrs. glared at Qi Heng and said angrily: "Heng'er, how many times have I told you, you need to walk without slowing down to see your bearing, what kind of body do you have when you run out of breath!" ”

 : : : :Mrs. Qi Hengchong grimaced and said, "Last night, I thought that I was going to the Big Buddha Temple today, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. Who knew that I would get up late this morning, I wasn't worried about my mother's scolding, so I hurried over! After speaking, he stepped forward and twisted his wife's skirt to be coquettish.

 : : : :Mrs. saw Qi Heng's pleasing and begging eyes like a puppy, her heart had already turned into water, and she didn't let go when she hugged Qi Heng.

 : : : :Qi Pan pulled Qi Heng away from his wife while laughing, "Heng'er, you're not too young, why are you still so clingy to your mother, hurry up and sit down, lest your second sister and Cousin Di see jokes!"

 : : : :Xiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled quietly, and peeked at Guo Di again, and sure enough, he saw that he was also snickering, and said in his heart that this second prince is also quite interesting.

 : : : :Qi Pan finally placed Qi Heng, the little devil, and beckoned everyone to sit down according to the year. Mrs. sat on the main seat, Guo Di and Qi Pan sat on both sides of Mrs. on the left and right, Qi Pan sat on Xiaoyu and gold bricks, and Guo Di sat on Qi Heng.

 : : : :After everyone sat down, Mrs. said, "Today is going to take a car for more than an hour, and everyone needs to eat more." Then he said to Zi Yan: "Is the food you brought on the road ready?" ", Zi Yan nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, the slaves and maids are all ordered to go down and get ready." The lady nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned everyone to dinner.

 : : : : After everyone finished eating silently, they followed their wife to the second door. There were already five green canopy cars parked outside the second gate, Mrs. took Qi Heng to sit in the first one, Qi Pan, Xiaoyu and Jin Brick took the second car, and the remaining three cars sat in the accompanying maiden and mother-in-law and various utensils for accommodation.

 : : : : Guo Di is really riding a horse, Qi Heng is very greedy, but no matter how soft and hard he is, his wife does not allow him to ride a horse, so he has to pout and reluctantly enter the carriage with his wife.

 : : : : When the three daughters of Qi Pan entered the carriage and sat down, Bai Shao came in with a basket, which was filled with all kinds of snacks eaten on the road, and a pot of hot water was intimately brought.

 : : : : "How long will this big Buddha temple take?" Xiaoyu asked Qi Pan. "It's probably almost noon to get there now," Qi Pan said, looking at the sky.

 : : : : Xiao Yu silently calculated in his heart, the carriage of the Big Buddha Temple will take nearly four hours to arrive, it is not close, no wonder you have to stay there for one night, otherwise all the time spent on the road.

 : : : :After all the things were loaded and the entourage got on the car and sat down, the convoy slowly set off, and Guo Di rode a horse to follow the side of his wife's carriage.

 : : : :Xiao Yu gently lifted the corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window. This Great Buddha Temple is said to be located in the southern suburbs of the capital, so this route is completely different from the last Chongyang Festival climbing route, and the scenery passed through is also something that Xiaoyu has never seen.

 : : : :The little fish greedily looks out the window at the shops and street scenes that pass by in a hurry. It is really not easy for an unmarried woman to go out in this era, she must take these opportunities to figure out the streets of the capital, so as not to go out of the Hou Mansion in the future, and she will not be able to find the road.

 : : : : On the other side, the gold bricks are also looking out of the carriage window with great interest, and from time to time they shout and point to various shops for Qi Pan to see. Bai Shao whispered to Qi Pan and Jin Brick on the side, and Qi Pan reminded Jin Brick to lower his voice from time to time while watching.

 : : : : Come back and ask Yue Gongzi to send a map of the capital? Xiao Yu thought to himself. There is no map, even looking at these shops and streets, I am confused in my heart, and I can't piece together the appearance of the capital. With the map and the characteristics of these shop streets, it should be much easier to identify.

 : : : : As the carriage left the south gate, the scenery along the way was lackluster, the roadside was bare branches, the crops in the fields were harvested, and with the rhythmic shaking of the carriage, the little fish felt sleepy when he looked at it.

 : : : : She looked at Kaqipan and the gold brick, and found that the two had fallen asleep at some point, so she also put her hands on the pillow and took a nap.

 : : : : "Second Miss, wake up", a familiar voice called in his ear. The little fish opened his eyes in a daze. I saw Bai Fu's face appear in front of me.

 : : : :"Baifu? How many of them are you? Bai Fu gently picked up the little fish, handed over another cup of hot tea and said, "Miss, it's time to stop and rest, you can drink some hot tea." ”

 : : : : Xiaoyu drank a little hot tea, felt a little sober, she turned her head to look at the carriage, Qi Pan was also being served by Bai Peony to eat snacks, and the gold bricks didn't know where to go.

 : : : : Seeing that Xiaoyu woke up, Qi Pan handed over a piece of chestnut cake and said: "Second sister, you can eat some pastry pads, this is not half way through!" Xiaoyu ate a lot in the morning, and he was not hungry at this time, so he waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it.

 : : : : She looked out of the window again and asked, "What about the BRICS girl?" Qi Pan laughed all of a sudden: "That's a restless one, as soon as the car stopped, it ran out, saying that it was going to go shopping!" Xiao Yu also smiled and shook his head.

 : : : : Xiaoyu got up and lifted the curtain to look outside, this is parked outside a long pavilion, as the saying goes, ten miles long pavilion, that is only out of the city not long after.

 : : : :Qi Heng saw Xiaoyu lift the curtain, so he ran over and shouted: "Second sister, come down and play, my mother said that I would wait here for Mrs. Qin and them to meet!" It turned out that this was the case, and Xiao Yu suddenly felt in his heart.

 : : : :She looked back at Qi Pan, Qi Pan shook his head and smiled: "It's windy outside, I won't go down, Bai Fu, put on a cloak for your young lady, and take the wind carefully!" ”

 : : : : Bai Fu took out Xiaoyu's cloak from under the seat, draped Xiaoyu on it, and put on the hood. Xiao Yu laughed and said, "You don't need to wear this hood!" ”

 : : : :Qi Pan said: "Wear it, women shouldn't show up outside, you don't wear a hat, just wear this hood to cover it slightly, and it can also block the wind." ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu shrugged helplessly when he heard this, this action attracted Qi Pan to slap his eyes, and before he could speak, Xiao Yu rushed to say: "Good sister, don't say it, my sister knows it's wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." After saying that, he slipped out of the carriage.

 : : : :Qi Pan had to shake her head helplessly, fortunately, she knew that Xiaoyu had rules, but she was just doing these strange little actions in private, and her words and deeds on formal occasions were still very in line with the rules.

 : : : :Xiaoyu helped Bai Fu's men get out of the carriage, Qi Heng was impatient to wait, and ran to the side to play with Guo Di. Xiao Yu looked around for a while, and saw his wife and his party sitting in the long pavilion, so he walked in.

 : : : : Madame sat in the long pavilion wrapped in a moss green makeup satin and gray squirrel skin cloak, and when she saw Xiaoyu coming in, she said: "Good boy, come over and warm up, it's cold outside, Pan'er?" Xiao Yu smiled and walked to Mrs. to salute, and Mrs. stuffed the stove in her hand.

 : : : :Xiaoyu took the stove, sat down with a smile and said, "Big sister thinks it's windy outside, so she won't come down." I felt stuffy in the car, and I came out to breathe. What's the matter, Mrs. Qin, haven't they arrived yet? ”

 : : : :Mrs. smiled: "They're almost there, they sent someone to report the news just now, and it may be a quarter of an hour away." Well, let's use some pastry and fruit to cushion the mat first! After speaking, the lady pointed to the various pastries on the small table beside her.

 : : : :Xiaoyu took an orange and put it on the side of his nose and sniffed: "I have just used it in the car, but this orange is fragrant, and it smells weird and refreshing!" Seeing Xiaoyu's innocent form, Mrs. couldn't help but smile and said: "If you like it, then take two oranges to go, the road is a little far, the car is stuffy, and it is not bad to smell the fragrance of oranges." “

 : : : :Xiao Yu got up and thanked: "Then the elder will give it, don't dare to resign." Madame smiled even more happily, pointed at Xiao Yu and said, "Look at you kid, you are so narrow, are the two oranges worthy of your such careless thanks?" “

 : : : :Xiaoyu Zhengse said: "The day before yesterday, the big sister taught me to look at the twenty-four filial piety pictures, which have Lao Laizi Caiyi to entertain relatives, and it is worth it to make my mother smile with a smile just now!"

 : : : :Mrs. laughed even more when she heard this, and hugged Xiaoyu and said: "You kid, you have a clever mouth, take pity on me for raising Pan'er for more than ten years, and you have been here for a few months to make me happy!" ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Big sister is a splendid chest, easy not to show, only I have no ink on my chest, I can't help but come to my mother to show off when I learn something!" ”
