Chapter 982: A Delaying Tactic
Li Laosan probably heard it, but turned his head and added, "Remember, you don't need to prepare Mr. Tang's meals in the future!" ”
Dazhu's daughter-in-law stuffed another small question mark in her head, but unfortunately, when she wanted to ask, Li Laosan walked away......
The morning in Xindu, because of the arrival of spring, is really lively.
The diligent peasants planted small greens in the garden early, or went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, washed them, tied them neatly, and then squeezed in as soon as the city gate opened, and even brought crystal dew when they handed them to the buyers!
Jiayin suddenly dreamed of toon last night, thinking that this time was the right time.
So, I got up early and changed into a cotton dress, brought a water spirit, and planned to go to the market to buy some wild vegetables and come back.
Not far from the back street of Earl's Court, there is a small market, the water is naughty, and it is often used to wander around, and it is also familiar with the way.
At this moment, she was leading the way in front, jumping up and down and shouting, "County Lord, hurry up, it's too late to go, be careful that you can't buy good things." ”
Jiayin was infected by her cheerfulness, walked a few steps, and pushed open the back door, but Shui Ling screamed in surprise.
Jiayin stepped forward to take a look, and it turned out that the third uncle was standing outside the door, his clothes wet from the morning mist.
"Uncle San, when did you come back? Why don't you call the door? ”
Li Laosan's face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly smiled, "As soon as I opened the city gate, I came in." Thinking that the family was worried, I took a detour here. ”
Jiayin immediately asked, "But there's something going on in the academy?" I asked Shui Ling to call the second uncle, but the second uncle hasn't gone out yet! ”
Li Laosan hurriedly stopped, "No need, I'll go to the front yard by myself." Are you going to go out to play, then go, stay safe, and come back early! ”
Jiayin saw that his expression was wrong, his eyes were a little evasive, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Uncle San, I'll go to the market to buy toon, and I'll fry toon eggs with millet porridge for a while, you must stay for breakfast!" ”
"Okay, the third uncle doesn't have anything to do, he must have dinner before leaving." Li Laosan hurriedly responded, and then entered the door.
Jiayin closed the door casually, and no one saw her throw the little fox into the door.
The little fox slept soundly in the space, and was suddenly woken up by the master and sent a task, and he was still a little confused.
But it doesn't dare to be lazy and disobedient, after all, you can't lose your long-term meal ticket.
Jiayin had something on her mind, so she hurriedly bought a few bundles of toons in the market and returned to the Earl's Palace.
As a result, as soon as I returned to the yard, I saw my sister-in-law beckoning the maids and women to carry things.
She asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Wan'er instructed the maid a few words, then stepped forward to pick her up and said, "The third uncle just came back, saying that there is a big caravan going to the southwest, and he will leave today, so let your eldest brother follow you and hurry together." ”
"That's a good thing! Originally, the road was far away, and I was worried that Uncle Hei would not be able to protect my eldest brother. With such a good opportunity, hundreds of people rushed together, and it couldn't have been safer. Jiayin comforted her sister-in-law and said with a smile, "The big brother is also leaving, and it's not a day or two." ”
Wan'er was still a little reluctant, but she thought about it when she heard this.
"Yes, your eldest brother and they are all in the study, you go and take a look, I'm in a hurry to check the luggage again."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I also prepared some food for my eldest brother to pad his stomach on the way, so let Shui Yun send it over." Jiayin said a word and rushed to the front yard.
Seeing the good news coming, everyone who didn't have a good face bowed their heads and drank tea.
Jiaren called his sister to him and said with a smile, "Fu Niu'er, the eldest brother is going to work." In the future, the family will want you to worry more! ”
"Big brother, rest assured, as long as I am here, I will not let anyone in the family be wronged." Jia Yin looked at the steady and elegant eldest brother in front of him, and his heart was also sour.
The process of growing up is the process of constant parting.
In the past few years, her brothers who love her have left one after another, and the family is no longer as lively as when she was a child.
But she should be happy, because the brothers are running for their bright future!
"Big brother, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself outside, I will often let the caravan pass, and I will also write to tell my eldest brother about things at home, just like you didn't leave."
Jiaren reddened the corners of his eyes, hugged his sister, and gently patted her shoulder.
Li Lao Er sighed and said on the side, "Fu Niu'er, your brother has gone too far this time, and I still don't feel at ease." I heard that Mu Huwei has lived in the southwest for a few years before, can you let him give your eldest brother a trip? ”
Jiayin's heart jumped, and she subconsciously looked at Sanbo.
Li Laosan kept his head down, looking very weak-hearted.
Just when everyone thought that Jiayin was going to inquire, she said cheerfully, "Okay, second uncle, I'm either in the palace, or at home, there is no danger, and I don't need guards." However, the eldest brother has a long way to go, and the more people who follow, the better. ”
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, for fear that if they continued to talk about it, they would reveal their stuffing, so they asked Jiaren to pay attention on the road.
Jiayin went to the stove, met the little fox on the way, hugged it and cooed for a long time, and then fried toon eggs with his own hands, and made two side dishes that the eldest brother likes to eat.
When the breakfast table is set, the family sits around, eating hot porridge, xiaolongbao and side dishes, even if it is Jiaren's practice feast.
In front of the mansion, there were more than a dozen carriages lined up, busy loading suitcases, half of which were all kinds of books.
The small servants, entourage, and veterans who followed to the southwest were all carefully selected by the family, and there were more than 30 of them.
In addition, the master that Mrs. Liu helped find was in a certain county seat that he passed by on the way.
Mrs. Liu has already written a letter, and it will be convenient to bring it with you when the time comes.
Wan'er endured her sadness and was busy, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.
Jiaren sighed in his heart, took her hand while no one was paying attention, and instructed, "You have worked hard at home, don't worry about me." In the fall, I'll pick you up as soon as possible. ”
"Well, husband...... Be sure to take care! Don't be busy with official business and forget to sleep and eat. Wan'er choked up and shook her husband's hand tightly.
Jiaren stretched out his arms and hugged her, then strode out the door.
Zheng Yi held the horsewhip and sat on the wheel, and on the other side sat Mu Jue, who had a bad face.
Zheng Yi was used to seeing Mu Jue's playful appearance, and he was very unaccustomed to it at this time, so he persuaded in a low voice, "Brother Mu, it's just a trip to the southwest, and I'll come back in a month." What are you...... Why are you upset? ”
Mu Jue waved his hand, did not speak, and did not know what to say.
The third master suddenly came back from the academy, and the Li family immediately asked him to go to the southwest, which was simply too obvious.
It must have been that the third uncle didn't listen to his warning and did something without authorization, which angered the Li family.
The Li family just wanted to transfer him away temporarily!
In this way, this matter will be suspended to prevent the third uncle from continuing to make trouble and ruin the reputation of the county lord.
Even, no matter how ruthless he is, he will be left in the southwest until the end of the northern expedition, when the Hou Ye returns, he will never have a chance again.
No, you can't just give up!
Mu Jue's fist clenched in his sleeve rattled!
