Chapter 236: Departure for Beijing
After a day's rest, the Wind Watching Mission was about to set off again. On the day when the Hou Mansion of Ningbei saw them off, the sky was clear and the east wind was warm.
There were many people standing outside the house, but Mrs. Shen was absent without even an excuse, and Shen Paner was inconvenient to see her off because of a knee injury.
Shen Yue'er supported Qin Mingyu, who was sobbing slightly, and gave a lot of advice before leaving, and also instructed the female envoy to move things into the luggage and stuff a lot of food.
Even Shen Zhan came out to see him off for the first time, the two brothers looked at each other, and Shen Ci spoke first: "It's really rare, I used to see off my eldest brother." ”
"The road to the south is not easy, but you have to be careful, remember to write more letters back to Beijing to report safety." Shen Zhan said.
"I know, Yu Sucheng's matter is over, and the eldest brother is about to return to Beijing, but it's a pity that the second brother can't participate in your return to Beijing banquet."
Shen Zhan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's a pity, when you return to Beijing, the Ningbei Hou Mansion will definitely return to Beijing for a banquet." ”
In another car, Ye Lingwu was gossiping with Cheng Guyuan: "Sister Yuji, Yusu City will be Jinyang City with all year rounds, I am afraid that your road is too hot, and yesterday I went to the city clothing shop to prepare a lot of spring shirts for you." ”
Cheng Guyi's eyebrows were soft, and he replied: "Thank you, Sister Lingwu, the matter of Ningbei Houfu's return to Beijing in the past few days has been troublesome enough, and it is difficult for you to worry about preparing spring shirts for us." ”
Ye Lingwu said: "I don't know when we will meet next time, so why not worry about it more." ”
Cheng Guyuan said: "Yes, I don't know when we will meet next time, I can't say that I will return to Beijing when Sister Lingwu will go, and Sister Pan'er may not be married." ”
Ye Lingwu's face was ashamed, and he replied: "Sister Kite, don't make fun of me." ”
Cheng Guyuan smiled: "It's not a joke, anyway, when you get married, you have to write to me in advance to inform me, no matter how far away, I will rush back to congratulate you when I receive the letter." ”
Ye Lingwu was not pretentious, and replied cleverly: "Okay, I will also transfer this to the third girl." ”
It was easy for the delegation to get rid of the enthusiasm of the Ningbei Hou Mansion to see them off, and the convoy was finally able to set off.
After a few days of panic, the Ningbei Hou Mansion arrived on the day of departing for Beijing, and the way back was different from when he came, and he took the official road.
There were also several civil officials such as Mrs. Lou and Lord Fu, as well as Jiang Yuan and the six princesses.
He was accompanied by a full four formations of the Black Flag Army.
When Ye Lingwu opened the warm curtain and looked back, the carriage team dragged a long black and black stretch behind him, and just looking at the battle was daunting.
In the afternoon, the carriage and horses stopped in the forest to rest, and Ye Lingwu had just finished eating and was about to rest for a while, when he heard movement outside the window.
Ye Lingwu lifted the warm curtain and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Jiang... Scholar Jiang, I wonder what advice Scholar Jiang has come to me? Reacting, his tone was immediately distant.
"It's been a long time, but Qingqing is tired?" Jiang Yuan looked at the girl fixedly, and the snow-blue blue on his body made his eyes clear like autumn water.
Ye Lingwu replied dryly: "I'm tired, so I'm preparing to rest." ”
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, like a spring breeze and said, "I see, Qingqing, is this to blame me for disturbing?" ”
"......" Ye Lingwu secretly slandered: nonsense.
"I didn't bother, I'll continue to hurry later, and Scholar Jiang should hurry back to the carriage to rest."
"Don't worry, this time in Beijing, there are a lot of things, I'm afraid I won't see you for a long time, I just want to see you a few more times and say a few more words now." Jiang Yuan's tone was very ambiguous.
"......" is deliberate, this person must be deliberate.
Ye Lingwu frowned, his eyes wandered, and sure enough, there were a lot of eyes around, and even the old lady Shen half-lifted the warm curtain to watch, not to mention the civil officials sitting around there.
"Speaking of Qingqing's courtesy, I haven't said it yet, this is something I went to the hairpin shop in the city a few days ago to customize, and I ask Qingqing to accept it."
Jiang Yuan's hand stretched out from his sleeve, and he held a boxy brocade box in his hand, which was embroidered with gold and silver threads, and dotted with many small purple pearls, which was precious just by looking at it.
Ye Lingwu was startled, and suddenly said: "This is not appropriate, please take it back from Scholar Jiang." ”
"It's just a pearl hairpin, although it's not as good as what Qingqing hides in her makeup, but it's also carefully selected, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuan was still smiling, but he didn't know how much of it was in this smile.
Ye Lingwu frowned, met everyone's eyes, and said firmly in a suppressed voice: "Of course it's not appropriate, what kind of scoundrel is Scholar Jiang, and he is not afraid of more gossip." ”
"Scoundrel?" Jiang Yuan sighed and replied in a low voice, "Others are giving you their true feelings, and I am giving you more gossip, Qingqing's words hurt my heart, not to mention that so many people are watching, and you are also ruthless to let me take back the gift?" ”
Ye Lingwu's fingertips clenched slightly, and the words that had been suppressed for a long time finally came out: "What do you mean by this, threatening me?" Jiang Yuan, you are too deceitful, how can you say that I also hold your handle, why are you fearless and aggressive? ! ”
She didn't dare to raise her voice, she could only whisper her anger, it was originally a confrontational picture, but in the eyes of others, she thought that the two were whispering, and their behavior was quite intimate.
"It turns out that Qingqing thinks so about me, so I'll take it back." Jiang Yuan's tone was low.
Ye Lingwu looked pitiful at her for a while, thinking that the two had known each other since childhood, and actually felt remorseful, and said in a soothing tone: "Everyone is watching, I really can't accept this gift from Scholar Jiang." Please also ask Jiang University to read for the sake of you and I who have known each other since childhood, stay away from me, and I promise not to spread your news. ”
Jiang Yuan's face did not change, and he pretended to be puzzled: "My business? What is Qingqing referring to? ”
"No, nothing." Ye Lingwu's heart sank, and he tensed.
The sense of oppression that the people in front of her showed from time to time was very different from her kind appearance on the surface, if Ye Lingwu didn't feel wrong, that kind of oppression carried a cold killing intent.
At this moment, there was a chorus shouting 'Young Master'.
Originally, he was still depressed and nervous waiting for me, Ye Lingwu even raised his throat with a heart, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Shen Zhan leading Yue Yang and several black flag guards to come over, with heavy steps and a fierce momentum.
These people were all wearing black armor, but Shen Zhan, who was walking in the front, was wearing dazzling silver armor and a gray feather cloak, with a solemn expression and a cold look in his eyes.
Bad!
Ye Lingwu immediately turned around and said to Jiang Yuan: "Scholar Jiang, let's go back, I'm sleepy and want to sleep for a while, so I won't talk much." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yuan to respond, he immediately lowered the curtain.
After retracting into the carriage, Ye Lingwu's heart did not steady, and he was relieved that there was no movement outside the carriage until a moment passed.
