Chapter 182: Six Years
Jiang Shi heard the other words, but he didn't feel it, but he became more and more determined to take this girl back to Beijing, and even faintly gave birth to a little expectation:
I don't know who has a better chance of winning against those people in the old Cheng family?
Back then, the little bit of the old Cheng family was defeated by these people, and Mrs. Cheng didn't know what ecstasy soup she drank, knowing that they were stealing and selling their ancestral property, she kept them as if they were treasures, and she kept them until now.
In Jiang's opinion, it was a group of moths crawling on Lao Cheng's body to suck blood.
"If I say so, you will do it." After saying lightly, Jiang waved his hand at Wei Shu again: "Go." ”
Wei Shu responded yes and withdrew from the west room, but he didn't take it seriously, but stayed in front of the fan in the east room.
Her serious master is still picking flowers, so she just left.
As soon as he stood still outside the pearl curtain, he suddenly heard Jiang's voice and threw it far away:
"Go back and pack your bags, remember to bring a few thick clothes to wear on the road."
………………
In the next few days, the autumn rain stopped and fell, and the weather was cloudy and uncertain.
On the day of departure, it was a sunny day.
Jiang woke up in the morning, and saw that the morning light on the soft tent was faint, like a layer of light blue mist, and the cool breeze was first penetrating, and the bluegrass patterns on the tent seemed to be swaying lightly in the water, and there was a dark fragrance surging.
The genius was bright, and the light in the room was still a little dim. Jiang turned over a few times on the couch, but he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply pushed away the brocade quilt and sat with his arms in his arms, feeling a little dazed for a while.
Six years ago, it was also such an early morning, she was lying on the couch, and her ears could hear the chariots and the wind outside the curtain, but she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers, only tears slid down her cheeks, and it was bitterly cold.
When her husband Cheng Wei carried Jian'er into the house, she opened her eyes, Cheng Wei looked haggard, put Jian'er's little face on her face, and called her small words softly:
"Zhenniang, I'll bring Jian'er to see you."
Jiang heard Jian'er's soft child's voice, and called her "mother" one after another, she wanted to call "mother's baby" as well, but her throat was blocked by phlegm all of a sudden, and her heart burned and she was trembling all over, which scared Jian'er into crying.
The cry gradually became distant in Jiang's ears, and her eyes blackened for a while, just like those days before, and she fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dusk the next day.
Her husband and her Jian'er left Zhending Mansion in this way, leaving their home and her.
Jiang doesn't blame Cheng Wei.
The transfer order to be the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture was issued to the Zhending County Government as early as two months ago.
However, Jiang occasionally felt a cold at that time, and thought that it would be good to recuperate, but who thought that the illness was as serious as a day, so Cheng Wei postponed the departure period a lot, and just wanted to wait for Jiang's illness to heal, and then return to Beijing with his family.
What I didn't expect was that Cheng Yuejiao was also sick by Jiang's, and her high fever didn't go away overnight, lying on the couch and talking nonsense, which was even more sick than Jiang's.
After Jiang found out, he was remorseful and anxious, and hated himself for taking his daughter tired, so he added symptoms to his better body, often fainted, and his condition became more and more heavy.
Her mother and daughter both fell ill, but Cheng Wei suffered alone.
He is busy with official duties every day, the handover of new officials and old duties, all kinds of documents and files need to be checked, and he must not be light-hearted for a moment, and he has to take care of the mother and daughter after returning home, and look for doctors and medicines everywhere.
The youngest son Cheng Jian was only three years old at that time, and it was also a time when he was unstoppable, Cheng Wei was anxious every day, his hair was half white, and he was almost tired.
waited until he couldn't drag it any further, so Cheng Wei had to set off with his young son first, leaving Jiang's mother and daughter in Zhending, and only said that he would return to Beijing after they were well.
No one would have thought that this parting would be a full six years.
After Jiang's illness recovered, he fell into a very serious hidden disease, and he continued to take medicine every day, and he only got better after more than a year; And Cheng Yuejiao's body has also become very weak, and she is about to get sick at every turn, and she also takes medicine every once in a while.
Immediately afterwards, the east and west roads of Hebei were natural and man-made disasters, one time floods, one time drought, and one time civil unrest.
In the two years when the bandits were rampant, Zhending and Kaifeng were cut off, and it was not until a year later that the news was reconnected, but it has been intermittent, and sometimes, there is not a letter for half a year.
And the bandit disaster also continued, next wave after wave, wave after wave, the imperial court sent to pacify the army one after another, but never calmed the situation, but suffered several defeats from the rebels.
In contrast, Zhending and Hejian Prefectures, which are located on the border, are more peaceful because they are surrounded by strong cities and are well armed.
Cheng Wei was afraid that his wife and daughter would be in danger on the way back, and whenever he wrote back, he would earnestly tell him to come back later, and to be sure to wait until it was not so chaotic outside before setting off.
It was not until the end of the previous year that the imperial court reactivated the old general Lu Meng and Lu to quell the rebellion, and finally wiped out all the bandits, and Jiang's tea shop also opened a trade route again.
Now more than a year has passed, and the tea caravan that went to Kaifeng has returned several times, all of which have reported that they are safe, and Jiang sent a letter to Cheng Wei, and agreed to return to Beijing this autumn.
is finally about to leave the home where he has lived for eight years, but Jiang is mixed with joys and sorrows at this time.
reunited with her husband and young son, the family is thoughtful, and she can't help but be happy every time she thinks about it; But when she thought about the days when this small courtyard was at ease and everything was satisfying, she was afraid that it would be difficult to have it in the future, so she was reluctant to give up.
When I think about the big family of the old Cheng family in Beijing, there are many people and disputes, even if no one has seen it now, the restlessness has surged up first, and it makes her particularly troubled.
After all kinds of thoughts, it was already bright outside the window, and Mei Xiang whispered by the curtain, and Jiang Shi lost his distracting thoughts, and he regained his spirit and dealt with everything outside his body.
She has asked someone to look at the yellow calendar before, today is the right time to travel, calculated out of the auspicious time is in the two quarters of the morning, if it is late, I am afraid that there will be bad luck.
But before going out, the steward first reported that the car had been pulled out, and then the little maid Qiulu came to report that Cheng Yuejiao was losing her face because she was missing, and she was losing her temper there, and then the mother-in-law who went out with her suddenly was shocked, lying on the ground and pumping, scaring the person.
This is really the more urgent the more things will happen, this pile, one by one, as if they have been discussed, all come to the front of the eyes, it is like a fuss, and the whole yard is like a headless fly.
Fortunately, Jiang's spirit is very good now, and he is no longer like the previous two years of illness, but he is dealing with it in an orderly manner, and he finally arranged it before the auspicious time.
