Chapter 16: Leaving Home

May 16, sunny and suitable for travel.

Hui Lanmao was dug out of the bed by Wang's mother at the right time, washed her face and rinsed her mouth

After cleaning, he was pressed in front of the dresser in his pajamas.

He combed his head in a double bun, tied two jade-colored moire hairbands with pearls, and hung them down to his ears.

It wasn't dawn yet, and Whelan didn't wake up, and saw beads hanging from her head, and she habitually shook her head, and the pearls hit her cheeks and ears, which was very funny.

Tossing like this, Whelan yawned a big and was completely sober

Then he was led to the table to eat, and early in the morning, Whelan had no appetite at all. But there are seven dishes and eight bowls on the dinner table, and it is not okay not to eat it, and it is exquisite.

Looking at the determined Mother Wang, Huilan took a deep breath, picked up the spoon and scooped it one by one in a windswept posture.

I was in a hurry to eat and almost choked, so Mother Wang and Qingguo Liuya hurriedly patted their backs and stroked their chests to deliver soup.

After drinking a bowl of soup, I finally sent my mouth full of things down.

"Well, I've eaten everything, and I can't eat any more. You and Liu Ya are also moving, and you have to eat! Hui Lan was righteous and stern, and resolutely refused to eat again, asking them to help finish eating.

Wang's mother had no choice but to beckon five girls to go into battle together and kill the table full of meals, snacks and soups.

Whelan applauded them again and again, they did a good job, they did not waste food and strictly followed the customs, perfect and auspicious. She laughs at people, and she will be safe, happy, and healthy!

After cleaning up the dishes, he asked Whelan to stand up straight and make a wooden shelf. Wang's mother took two girls to change her clothes.

It is said to be a children's clothing produced by a top embroidery workshop, with a goose-yellow shirt and a jade-colored breast-length skirt. Whelan doesn't understand the material, but in the early summer season, the touch is cold and delicate, and the feel is very good, so it is not cheap.

The clothes that hung down on both sides were wrapped around Whelan's fingers and played in circles, but they were stopped by Wang's mother, saying that they would wrinkle and be rude.

Whelan doesn't care, she stinks in front of the dressing mirror. She once dreamed of cosplaying in Hanfu, but unfortunately she had no money, no leisure and no time.

Now she can dress neatly every day and be a beautiful costume cutie, and Huilan is happy in her heart.

She lifted her skirt and looked left and right in the mirror, turning in circles from time to time, beautiful and unwanted.

In addition to the headband, he only wore two pearl stud earrings on his ears, and there were no other accessories.

Huilan felt that she was fairy and beautiful, slim, refreshing, and smiling, not too suitable for summer!

Whelan was so busy with the smell that he didn't care how long he waited.

At the right time, my aunt stopped at the gate with two mothers, two girls, a dozen servants and ten carriages. Half of the alley was blocked, and the neighbors came out to see the excitement.

Whelan was amazed, her aunt was really atmospheric, and she knew that she would have a lot of luggage!

The aunt and nephew met at the gate, and only after saying a few words, the aunt waved her hand, "Okay, when we go back to the house, we will have a good kiss." The old lady urged me to pick you up after dinner, and the girls and boys didn't go to class, they were all waiting to see you. ”

Whelan has nothing to say, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws. And she's not ugly, let alone going to see her in-laws.

The Guogong Mansion is so admirable, of course she has to repay the favor.

So Huilan accompanied her aunt to sit and drink tea in the pavilion in the small garden, and Steward Li beckoned the family nurse and the servants brought by her aunt to carry the luggage and load the car.

The mothers and girls brought by my aunt were also sent over to help with Mother Wang.

"This dress is well-matched, it looks comfortable, and the craftsmanship of the neon dress workshop is good. My aunt over there has also prepared a few sets of clothes for you to wear at home. Mrs. Li smiled and praised Huilan.

"Aunt Xie, if you are so thoughtful, then I will have new clothes that I can't wear in the future." Whelan hugged her aunt's arm and smiled happily.

"Don't worry, I've got your new clothes." Mrs. Li really had a lot of money, and both of them laughed.

The two drank two cups of tea, talked for a while, and came to report that they had already packed up.

One of the mothers brought by my aunt reported to them eloquently: a carriage filled four boxes and seven carriages. There were three carriages left, one for the lady and the cousin, and two for the seedlings and green fruits; Three mothers and another big girl sit in one car; The other five little girls that Whelan was going to bring sat in one with their own baggage.

Mrs. Li nodded and praised twice. He also instructed Steward Li to guard the house well, pay attention to the door, and report to the Guogong Mansion at any time if there is anything, so he took Huilan to get up and prepare to leave.

Whelan has no opinion, she obeys the arrangement. I have already said what I said to Uncle Li, if there is anything missing, there is still Mother Wang who can convey that they have one day off every month.

At the gate, the girls who want to follow are lined up and waiting to leave. Steward Li and the group of people who stayed behind gathered at the door to see her off.

Looking at the convoy, the driver was ready to go, and the servants who came with him lined up to escort the entire convoy.

In the middle of the carriage, you can vaguely see a few neighbors looking this way.

Whelan had some heat in his eyes, but suddenly smiled again. Today's toss is like this, and the neighbors should know that the valuables of this family have moved away with the girl. There shouldn't be any more people beating their family's idea, there are still more than 20 people at this door.

Huilan smiled and nodded at the excited and reluctant Li family, before she was helped into the carriage behind her aunt.

Her aunt helped Whelan sit beside her and helped her straighten the broken hair on her forehead. After a minute or so, the steward shouted to set off, and then the carriage started.

Huilan shook for a moment, quickly lifted the curtain of the car, and waved goodbye to the Li family who were looking forward to her carriage.

Huilan bit her lip and wanted to cry, she was reluctant to Uncle Li, reluctant to this little family that really belonged to her.

She rarely remembered the past these days, and this moment she remembered the time when she first came. Confused, fearful, busy, sad, passive, tired, until now, calm and integrated.

Uncle Li and Mother Wang played a very big role, melting the resistance and estrangement in her heart little by little.

It wasn't until she turned out of the alley that she panicked and really realized that she was going to separate. Leave Uncle Li, who treats her like a daughter, and leave this quiet and peaceful little home.

So, Whelan did what a real child would do, and she started crying.

The aunt hurriedly held her in her arms and coaxed her, wiping her tears while saying don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

The two girls also handed over the handkerchief with anxious faces and helped her caress her back.

Whelan cried for a while, then stopped, her emotions came and went quickly. Lying quietly in my aunt's arms, listening to her describe a better life in the future.

You can go boating on the lake with your sisters, you can play polo on horseback with your uncle, and you can go hunting with your cousins......

Whelan followed her train of thought and began to think, and her mood was much better.

Until my aunt said, "When you are eight years old, you will be able to live alone in separate yards." When the time comes, you will also be filial piety, and you can go home for a few days every month......"

Before she could finish speaking, Whelan suddenly raised her head from her arms and asked her in surprise, "Really, aunt?" How many days a month can I come home and stay? ”

Mrs. Li was so frightened by her that she forgot what she wanted to say, and gave her a strange look, "You kid, you scared me at a glance." Where did those stupid thoughts come from, this is your home, of course you can go home. Could it be that your aunt can still lock you up and not let you go out? Joke, that's not going to jail! Where is someone who doesn't even know their own home and can't live, what a stupid child! ”

"Yay, hooray!" Whelan raised his hands and shouted excitedly, resurrected with full blood.

Yes, she forgot that Daqin didn't have a door and didn't go out of the second door. Compared with the Song Ming and Qing dynasties, the restraint of women is simply enlightened and open, free and autonomous!

Mrs. Li was amused by her and wiped her eyes and nose, "What a child, crying and laughing for a while, he has become a little civet slave!" ”

Whelan was thick-skinned and didn't care at all, so she drank a glass of water to replenish the lost water. Then he took his aunt's arm and asked about riding horses, hunting, playing polo, and swimming in the lake.

The aunt and nephew talked and laughed, and soon the carriage entered Chongrenfang and arrived at the Guogong Mansion.
