Chapter 33: On the Way

On the day of departure, the blue waves are like washing, the breeze is gentle, although the summer heat in Huizhou Mansion is still hot, but the good mood of everyone is enough to resist the heat of this summer.

In front of the gate of Gu's mansion, seven carriages lined up neatly outside the gate of the main courtyard. The first carriage at the head of the row sat Gu Zheng and his wife, followed by the three children who sat in the Gu Mansion's long house, Gu Nianxun, Gu Nianchi and Gu Zhiheng, listening to the laughter and laughter that came from it, others had to sigh at the mellow relationship between the three sisters and brothers.

The next three carriages were all loaded with the luggage and belongings of each person in the Gu Mansion's long room, and finally followed by two carriages that looked larger on the outside but were not as gorgeous as the previous ones, and sat on the servants and maids who went with them this time, including the three "springs" newly selected by Gu Nianxun.

Facing the morning sun and blowing a small breeze, the summer retreat team of the Gu Mansion is a little later than other mansions, but when it comes to the scene and pomp, it is not inferior to other mansions at all.

Gu Nianxun went to the summer resort this time, and did not bring Li Quan, Liu Sanzhu and Zhang Maolin, who were still training in Xunyang Pavilion, thinking that it would be better to concentrate on training in the mansion. Although Zhuangzi is cool and quiet, the other environments are still not as good as Gufu, which is in the center of Huizhou Mansion.

The carriage swayed, as if the blink of an eye had shaken everyone out of the walls of Huizhou Mansion. Out of the horse's head wall, which symbolizes the Huizhou Mansion, the carriage went all the way south.

In this Gu Mansion Chief's Room, except for Gu Zheng, who walks outside all the year round because of government affairs, he already feels ordinary about the scenery outside Huizhou Mansion. The rest of the eldest lady Ning and Gu Nianxun were all very interested in the scenery outside the carriage window, and each quietly opened a corner of the carriage curtain and stared at it interestingly, without even blinking his eyes.

Especially the three Gu Nianxun sisters and brothers in the second carriage, when they first set off from Gu's mansion, they were still playing with each other, frolicking and playing, and their attention at this time was attracted by the green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds outside the wooden window of the carriage.

Even Gu Nianxun, who has lived for two lives, seems to be trapped in the palace walls of the four sides in his previous life for a long, long time, so long that Gu Nianxun forgot the taste of freedom.

Since she was reborn, Gu Nianxun still tightened the string in her head most of the time, and when she stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of the wind and smell the aroma of grass, she seemed to understand the feeling of freedom again.

It's good to be alive, she thought. There is always hope in life, and there is always hope for the heavens and the earth.

The landscape in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be more intense in Gu Nianxun's eyes than the color of the capital, as if the calligraphy everyone's ink dyeing, every penny, is perfectly just right. With the clear stream along the way, the city wall of Huizhou Mansion is getting farther and farther away, and it is getting closer and closer to Qiyun Mountain.

After noon, everyone also found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, sat down to rest, so as to accumulate energy for the rest of the journey.

I don't know if it was the illusion of the people or the fact that it was the case, after leaving the city, the heat seemed to slowly calm down in the bottom of my heart, everything was healed by the beauty of nature, and I was fascinated by the vastness of the sky.

In fact, Ning's decision to escape the summer was also for the sake of his three children. After returning to Beijing, how could there be such a free moment, living in that boxy courtyard, and living under the eyelids of others, she was still tired and tired of this life, let alone these three children.

Although Gu Nianxun is a little older, in the heart of the mother, she is still the little baby with memory. Happy and wanton time, the mother always wants to fight for them more, feel the carefree childhood, feel the innocence, and feel the nature.

If possible, it is good to be a child for life under the wings of my father and mother, but some things are never under the control of people.

Especially the daughters of the family, the daughters of which families need to receive all kinds of upbringing as soon as they are born, and they are cultivated as the future mothers of the top gate valves, and even the standards of the palace concubines.

Gu Nianxun's two childhoods, in Huizhou Mansion, by the side of his parents, brothers and sisters, lived a smooth life, safe and happy, so that the second half of his previous life was too miserable.

All in all, this trip is to escape the summer, and it is also to let the last time in Huizhou Mansion end happily. The capital, where there is too much helplessness, and the word arbitrary freedom obviously has nothing to do with it.

"Ah Xun!"

"Eldest sister!"

The call of the loved ones attracted Gu Nianxun's attention. It turned out that Gu Zheng picked up the fishing gear and was ready to show off his skills to compete with the fish in this stream.

Gu Nianxun smiled and walked towards the voice shouting, she knew that her father could come to this summer trip so that she could be happy, spend more time with her family, and be able to... In this way, he heals the scars that have been scratched in his previous life.

Otherwise, with the post of political history in Jiangnan, how could he have such time to accompany his female relatives to spend the summer together? To facilitate this trip, Dad should be extremely busy these days, no wonder I can't see my dad in the main courtyard, and the blue and black color at the moment is also difficult to hide.

Dad's love is always inadvertently moisturizing things silently, but it reverberates the empty valley.

Gu Zheng was planning to show his feet and let his wife and children have a good look, but he didn't want his three children to live in peace, and after watching for a while, the three of them began to enjoy the water, and finally the fish hurriedly moved, Gu Zheng naturally didn't catch a single fish.

On a one-day journey, naturally you can't get to the summer village of Qiyun Mountain, and you have to rest for a night at the halfway station.

Because the people from the house had been sent to greet them in advance, the Shexian Post Station had already prepared three upper rooms and the rest of the middle rooms to accommodate the people of the Gu Mansion.

At night, Gu Zheng and his wife lived in the No. 1 upper room, Gu Nianxun took his young sister Gu Nianchi to live in the second upper room next to his father's mother, and Gu Zhiheng and his nurse lived in the third upper room around the corner.

The night breeds wordless darkness.

A pair of eyes hidden in it are destined to be the dark tide of this night, and the wind and rain are coming.
