Outside the north gate of Meixian County, a row of carriages was parked.

In the twilight of autumn, the morning light is faint, the dew drops on the grass and trees are wet from the sleeves of people's clothes, and the fallen leaves on the ground add a bit of desolation. Today, it's time to leave.

The farewell team is very huge, in addition to Mrs. Zhou, Zheng's family, Mi Yichao and his wife, Zhao Zhongxuan, Zhang Pingyu, Lan Junzhi, Lan Junchen, Wang Mingli, Wang Mingshen, Wang Mingzhao, and even Wang Tiangui and Wang Tianzhu The two brothers also came to join in the fun.

Wang Chengde and his son were busy sorting out their luggage and carriages, Lan Yi looked at the four carriages lined up, and couldn't help but sigh. Among the four carriages, Lan Yi, Jia Shi and the two children have one, and the remaining three are luggage. One is Lan Yi's own luggage, except for grain, vegetables and seeds, etc., all of which are clothes and jewelry prepared by the Zheng family for her. In the past few days, Zheng told Lan Yi a lot of things that her daughter's family should pay attention to, such as how to wash her hair, how to make her skin white and tender, how to develop well, etc., so that Lan Yi has a lot of knowledge, I don't know if she has too little contact in modern times, and now I always feel that Da Zhou's beauty and body care methods are more natural and scientific than modern sounds.

The remaining two carriages were all luggage prepared by Old Madam Zhou for Wen Xuan. Although Lan Yi had already negotiated with Mrs. Zhou that she didn't need to prepare gold and silver for Wen Xuan, she didn't expect that after Mrs. Zhou brought what she thought she had to bring to Wen Xuan, she would fill two carriages, if it weren't for Zhou Weiji saying that there were too many things for fear of being remembered on the road, Old Madam Zhou couldn't wait to bring back all the good things at home to Wen Xuan.

Everyone surrounded Lan Yi and said goodbye, Mrs. Zhou hugged Wen Xuan with tears rippling, Zheng pulled her daughter to cry, and Xia Wan was also wiping tears beside her.

"Old lady, mother, sister, if you continue to cry, the sun will turn west." Lan Yi's persuasion for a long time was ineffective, and when she looked up at the sun, it was already time, and the number of pedestrians on the side of the road gradually increased, and they had planned to go on the road at the right time.

Mrs. Zhou hugged Wen Xuan silently, kept touching his little face, and tidied up the clothes on his body. Zheng took off the bracelet on his hand and brought it to Lan Yi.

This white jade bracelet is the bracelet engraved with the word "Zihui" on the wrist worn by Chun Tao when Lan Yi crossed over and woke up, this is the Zheng family's dowry, "Zihui" is the expression of Lan Yi's grandfather, and this bracelet can be called the heirloom of the Zheng family. Lan Yi couldn't help but be glad that she didn't put it in the pawnshop at that time.

"Mother, with my father and eldest brother taking care of us along the way, we're fine. My daughter will write to you a lot and come back to see you when she has time. Lan Yi wiped away Zheng's tears, "If you continue to cry, your daughter really won't be able to leave." ”

Yu'er sensibly grabbed Zheng's arm and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of my mother and brother." ”

Zheng broke into tears and laughed, hugged Yu'er in his arms and kissed him again and again.

Xia Wan asked Chuncao to hand over a small wooden box, "Sister, you bring back these books, they are all books related to field affairs, aquatic products and geography, my sister knows that you like these, and specially asked your brother-in-law to find them, which are rare on the market." "The county is a position in charge of a county's finances and warehouses, and it makes sense that Mi Yichao can find these books.

Lan Yi took it with a smile and held it in her arms, just at this time Mi Yichao and Zhou Weiji walked over after speaking, "Thank you brother-in-law for looking for the book, sister, don't forget to write to me." We'll leave the matter to you, but you still have to take care of your body first, and you can't be careless. "Da Zhou women can't talk to the outside world within three months of pregnancy, I'm afraid that the fetus has not yet sat down, and it is unlucky to say it, so Lan Yi didn't say it directly.

Xia Wan smiled confidently, Mi Yichao walked to his wife's side, smiled and nodded to Lan Yi, "Sister Lan, take care." When you go back, you will see your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and eldest brother, and say hello to our husband and wife. ”

Xia Wan thought of her mother, and her heart was sour, "Sister, you will hand over the letter in the bookcase to my mother for me when I go back." ”

I wanted to persuade Xia Wan to go back to save her relatives, but she was just pregnant, and she was carrying Jinbao, so she was afraid that she would not be able to travel for more than a year.

Zhao Zhongxuan and Wang Linyuan entrusted the family affairs, and also came over to say goodbye to Lan Yi, "Sister-in-law, when I see my mother when I go back, I will definitely go back before my sister gets married." ”

Zhao Zhongxuan changed into a short dress to do rough work, changed into an earthy yellow robe, and his hair stood up high, looking very energetic. Lan Yi asked Wang Linyuan to talk to him about the Meixian store, of course, the first thing to say was to let him help in the shop pù of Qingshan Shangji, two taels of silver per month, including food and accommodation. Zhao Zhongxuan decided to stay in Meixian County after thinking about it, he knew that Lan Yi gave him this opportunity, and he was ashamed to learn how to run the store well, so he followed Wang Chengde and Xia Mo, Liuzi and others to run errands these days, and was very diligent.

Zhou Weiji and the others also came over, Zhang Pingyu nodded tacitly at Lan Yi, and then bowed down to talk to Wen Xuan. Wang Mingli said to Lan Yi: "Little sister, I have already told the patriarch that Wenxuan does not need to come back every year before he is six years old. However, from the age of seven, they should rush back at the time of the annual festival to save their ancestors from blaming. ”

Ancestors to blame? How many wanderers who went out could not return home to worship their ancestors, and they all set up sacrificial tables outside and kowtowed. Wang Mingli's words are really a bit heavy, it seems that he is the patriarch of the Wang family, speaking on behalf of the Wang family.

Old Madam Zhou lowered her face coldly, "Wen Xuan can't come back, and the old body will explain it clearly to the patriarch, and don't bother the second master." ”

Wang Mingli bent down with a thoughtful attitude and said yes, Wang Mingshen and the two brothers also came up to greet Lan Yi, Wang Mingzhao opened his mouth a few times, and finally couldn't help but say: "Little sister, if my father and I are free next spring, we will go to Huangxian County to visit you and Wenxuan." ”

They were going for Qingshanke, Lan Yi didn't expect that his pen would cause so many things. On the wall of the chrysanthemum garden on the day of Chongyang, she saw three poems with the inscription of Qingshan Ke, and there were many people next to them who left their names and poems, and every sentence was the worship of Qingshan Ke. Lan Yi couldn't wait to scratch the wall, and also had doubts about the ink treasures left on the wall by the literati and ink writers of the past dynasties: Who knows which ones are genuine?!

Zhou Weiji saw that everyone still had no intention of dispersing, so he raised his voice and said, "It's not too early, let's get ready to go." ”

He bent down and saluted Zheng again, "Mother-in-law, you are always cherished." ”

After Jia Shi kowtowed to Mrs. Zhou again, he returned to Lan Yi's side. Everyone reluctantly said a lot of cherished words, Lan Yi and the others got into the carriage, and the group left in a majestic manner under the eyes of everyone.

Zhou Weiji, Wang Chengde, and Dao Wufeng rode horses, Wang Chunrong and Wang Linyuan drove the car, and in addition to them, there were two or three Wang coachmen to follow.

Wang Chunrong followed his father to Huangxian with a dead face, and the horse he had just bought was tied to the back of the carriage. Chengde said that he could only catch the car before he rode steadily, Wang Chunrong practiced vigorously for several days, but he didn't expect his father to still not allow him to ride a horse, and at this time he was looking at the handsome white horse tied together with the two fruits, depressed. Wang Lin looked very funny when he looked at him, so he took the initiative to gossip with him.

After the group walked away, Mrs. Zhou got into the carriage and returned home with the support of Mrs. Zhou and others, and Wang Tiangui followed behind.

Lan Junzhi stepped forward and said to Mi Yichao: "Brother Mi, let's go have a drink, how about it?" ”

Mi Yichao shook his head slightly, "Let me send Madame back first." ”

Lan Junzhi looked at Xia Wan, who was beside her with an outstanding appearance and tears on her face, and nodded lightly, "Then let's talk about it another day, it's important to comfort my sister-in-law." ”

Mi Yichao carefully helped Xia Wan into the carriage, and sat in the carriage himself.

"Madam, don't be sad, after the child is born, our husband and wife will take the two children back to Huang County to meet our father-in-law and mother-in-law, okay? If we continue to cry, I'm afraid our daughter will be a little tear bag in the future. ”

He spoke softly and gently, and it was difficult to hide his concern, Xia Wan smiled with tears: "How do you know that this time it is your daughter?" ”

Mi Yichao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Didn't Jinbao call my sister, you can't be wrong." We'll have to come up with a name for our daughter. ”

Xia Wan put her hand on her lower abdomen, whether it was a daughter, "You are too anxious to be a father, and besides, I have to be busy with the business of the store recently, and I will think about this matter with you when the business is on the right track." ”

Mi Yichao looked at his wife's delicate facial features that shone confidently, couldn't help but stretch out his sleeves to wipe away her tears, and gently hugged her in his arms, "The word 'on the right track' sounds fresh, was it told to you by Lan Mei?" It's useless for the husband, and the wife is already working hard to take care of her son and daughter, and she has to work hard for the family. Madam, if there is anything that does not go well, please sue sù as a husband, and let's discuss it. ”

Xia Wan is talented, but she is too lonely and cold on weekdays, and she doesn't care about anything. So this time she took the initiative to care about the business of the store, Mi Yichao did not object, but was a little happy, it seems that this Xia Wan is more real, and he and Xia Wan can talk about a lot more topics besides children and poetry.

Xia Wan blushed and pushed him, "What are you doing, be careful of being looked at." ”

"Don't worry, no one will see you."

Outside the carriage, Mrs. Xia and Chuncao listened to their conversation and looked at each other with a smile of surprise.

Lan Junchen walked up to Zhang Pingyu's side, "Pingyu, it's a good day, why don't we go boating and fishing on the river, how about it?" ”

Zhang Pingyu still has that plain face, "Why didn't you see Lan Wu following today?" ”

Lan Junchen frowned slightly, "What do you want to do with him!" Let's go, is it so calm and windless, let's catch a few more and eat them grilled, I haven't eaten your grilled fish for a long time. ”

Zhang Pingyu nodded, and Lan Junzhi also turned on his horse, "If you talk about fishing, I recently found a good place to go, let's go, let's go together." ”

Seeing this, Wang Mingshen also stepped forward, "How about the three elder brothers and the younger brothers?" I have long heard the eldest brother say that the fish of the second brother Zhang is grilled very well, and the younger brother does not know if there is this oral today. ”

Wang Mingzhao is the most fun-loving, so he quickly nodded his head.

"It's okay, you two brothers can come along if you have nothing to do." Zhang Pingyu turned around and told Shengzi to prepare first and ride forward.

Lan Junchen originally wanted to have some private words with Zhang Pingyu, but when he saw so many people, he smiled and said: "The three of you follow, you can't just wait to eat, I'm afraid it's not enough for us to fish, and the matter of catching fish will be handed over to you." ”

Wang Mingzhao sharpened his fists, "Fourth brother, don't worry, we have learned to cast nets to fish." ”

Casting nets to catch fish is something that only fishermen do, Lan Junzhi laughed and said: "Brother Zhao is not losing his father's style, I remember that the uncle of the Wang family often said that he wanted to be a leisurely fisherman by boating the country, and he also gave him the nickname of "Hook Fisherman". ”

The waves are intentionally a thousand heavy snows, and the peach and plum are speechless for a team of spring. A pot of wine, a pole, how many people are like Nong in the world? A spring breeze, a leaf boat, a cocoon and a light hook. The flowers are full of Zhu, the wine is full of Ou, and the waves are free. This is the famous story of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wang Gezhi was envious of this, and he had already released words to learn it.

The five of them laughed and walked away, Wang Mingli was deliberately excluded by them but did not have the slightest displeasure, still with an elegant face, turned around and got into the carriage with a fluttering movement, and calmly ordered the coachman to return.

PS: I've been too busy lately, and I haven't had time to catch insects, so let's make do with it first, and when I'm busy for the past few days, Xiaolan catches it word by word. R1152
