Chapter 337: Road Encounter
Haijiao discussed with Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian what the result was, but Haitang did not know.
In the afternoon, grandmother Ma took someone to send the prepared dry food and pills to the Zhenguo Mansion, and Haitang thought that she wanted to see Peng Yuqi again, so she accompanied Ma Shi.
Peng Yuqi's luggage was almost packed. She planned to leave a few servants in Chang'an, responsible for taking care of Peng Tongzhi's daily life during his passage through Chang'an, and she only took half of her people to Taiyuan. Zhou Wenjun was worried about her safety on the road, so he specially asked someone to inquire, and asked that a Chen Qianhu was going to leave tomorrow to work in a certain guard office under the rule of Shanxi Dusi on a hundred miles away from Taiyuan, so he specially asked General Saturday to help say hello, and asked Chen Qianhu's family to bring Peng Yuqi with them, and there was a response on the way.
Although Peng Yuqi felt that the force value of her guards and servants was high enough, even if she lost half of her manpower, she would not be tight. But Zhou Wenjun thought about her so much, and specially went around asking for help, if she blindly refused, it would seem to be angry. So Peng Yuqi accepted Zhou Wenjun's kind arrangement, promised to set off with Chen Qianhu's family, and had already made an appointment with the latter for the place and time of meeting tomorrow morning.
Peng Yuqi also sighed to Haitang: "On weekdays, Wenjun is always very arrogant, but when it comes to serious things, she can always arrange things thoughtfully and meticulously." It's a pity that she always doesn't like to show her strengths, so many people gossip about her. ”
Haitang smiled: "Sister Wenjun doesn't care what others say about her. As long as our good friends know her character, it is enough. ”
Zhou Wenjun laughed and said, "I love to hear Sister Hai's words." The mouth grows on others, and they can do whatever others like to say. I just want those close to me to know my benefits, and what do others have to do with me? ”
Haitang told Peng Yuqi again: "Chen Qianhu is our neighbor, and his reputation has always been very good. If you go with their family, the road shouldn't be too difficult. She also told Mrs. Chen Qianhu that she had been married for many years and had not returned to her parents' house.
Peng Yuqi sighed when she heard this: "There are many such military dependents in the border army. When my mother was alive, didn't she not see her relatives for several years? It's no wonder that the Jin family doesn't take my mother seriously. I didn't listen to their arrangements for marriage, and I didn't go back to the province for several years after I got married. It was the Jin family who used to have family affection for my mother, and after so many years, it was gradually left behind. ”
Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I really don't want to get married...... Even if I really want to get married, I don't want to be too far away from my father. Dad is the only one who is my own flesh and blood, if I leave, how will he live in the future?! ”
The smile on Zhou Wenjun's face gradually retracted: "It's nothing...... It's a big deal to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law. ”
Peng Yuqi smiled wryly. It is not that there is no son-in-law in the army in the northwest frontier, but the truly outstanding military talents will not accept this kind of thing. Although Du Boqin was the only daughter of the Zhou family's seventh room, he also married a wife, not an inverted door. He is still a second-rate talent like this, and it is even more impossible for a truly outstanding rising star in the army to come to the Peng family to be a son-in-law. However, Peng Tongzhi has always said that he must choose a wishful husband for his only daughter, and he must be an outstanding young talent in the army, his family background is still secondary, and his future must be bright, so that he is worthy of his daughter.
Thinking of her father's expectations, Peng Yuqi's heart was full of helplessness, and she didn't know when she would meet a good marriage. She hoped that that day would come sooner rather than later, so that her father would no longer have to worry about his life's affairs; She looked forward to not coming so early that day, and she wanted to accompany her father for a few more years, lest he would be burned down by no one to take care of his daily life.
Haitang looked left and right, and saw that Peng Yuqi was in a low mood, and Zhou Wenjun was also sad with her, and couldn't help but have a headache. She really didn't want to make a big deal for people today, so she went to the Zhenguo Mansion to make a trip.
Haitang probed and looked outside, Ma was talking to the ladies of the Zhou family. Although they came for Peng Yuqi today, when they came to other people's homes as guests, there was no reason not to greet the ladies in charge. Haitang watched them chatting about family life, and after a while, she sat back in place and changed the topic: "Sister Peng has been to Taiyuan?" I don't know what good things will happen along the way. Are you going by car, or on horseback? In order not to let the Jin family find out that you are leaving, you should take the car when you go out of the city, right? If you encounter anything interesting on the way, remember to write to me and Sister Wenjun! ”
Peng Yuqi came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Don't worry." There are post stations along the way. When I stay in the inn, I will write a letter to you, and then I will have the messenger deliver it back. It's just that it's easy for me to write to you, and it's inconvenient for you to write to me. When I settle down in Taiyuan, I will immediately write to you to tell you your address, and you will write to me when the time comes! ”
Begonia and Zhou Wenjun responded together.
Haitang chatted with Peng Yuqi for about half an hour, and then went home with her grandmother Ma. She made an appointment to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to see off Peng Yuqi. Zhou Wenjun also greeted Ma for her, lest Ma refuse to let her go out.
As they left the town's mansion, their carriage came out of the side door, and they saw a carriage parked not far from the door, and a middle-aged servant woman with hanging eyebrows was talking to the gatekeeper guarding the door. She slapped the concierge's ass with a smile, and wanted to stuff the silver coin into someone's hand, but was blocked back. No matter what she said, the porter refused to let her master in, and only let her stay and worship.
Begonia lifted the corner of the curtain and took a few looks. The carriage was far away, and Ma suddenly remembered: "This seems to be the Jin family's carriage, right?" I remember that when I saw the second wife of the Jin family visiting Mrs. Chen Qianhu a few days ago, she was in this carriage, and the coachman's clothes did not change. ”
Haitang blinked and hurriedly asked, "The second wife of the Jin family?" Is it the rumored Aunt Kim Sun-ta who was beaten in the Qinglou? She has a relationship with Mrs. Chen Qianhu? "That's a problem! Tomorrow, Peng Yuqi is going to go to Taiyuan with Chen Qianhu's family! Mrs. Chen Qianhu won't send news to the Jin family, right?
Ma's answer made her secretly relieved: "It's the second wife of the Jin family." She and Mrs. Chen are not friends, are they? Previously, someone was a matchmaker and wanted to tell Mrs. Chen's second daughter to the eldest son of the second room of the Jin family. Mrs. Chen is not very satisfied, but Chen Qianhu used to be on an errand with Jin Lao Er, and he was considered to have a friendship, and the Chen family was not good at refusing to marry, and he had no face for Jin Lao Er. But now that Chen Qianhu is going to be transferred, there is no need to mention this marriage. Mrs. Jin Er has never been to the door again, and she is also interested in it. ”
It may not be interesting, but the second wife of Jin has other ideas about her son's marriage, so she naturally will not be bored and make contact with the Chen family again. The Chen family will not take the trouble to contact acquaintances who do not want to get married. As long as the news that Peng Yuqi is leaving does not reach the ears of the Jin family before tomorrow morning, then everything is easy to say.
But...... Second Mrs. Jin wanted to enter the Zhenguo Mansion, most likely for Peng Yuqi. The Zhenguo Mansion took the initiative to block the guests for Peng Yuqi, and I can't bear to see her being entangled by the Jin family, right? It's Mrs. Jin's cheekiness, which is really amazing. The Jin family just grabbed Tang Hui with the grandchildren of the Zhenguo Mansion, and now it's only been a few days? Why was she so embarrassed to come to the door?
Haitang returned home with Ma's family, and when he entered the inner courtyard, he saw Hai Chang'an and Hu Shi busy in the second courtyard, and seemed to be decorating the house. Ma said: "Chang'an is preparing to move in?" It just so happened that this house had been dry for half a year and could be inhabited. ”
Hai Changan came out of the house and saluted Ma with a smile: "Auntie, my son and daughter-in-law may have to disturb my father and you for some more time." The house was packed up and prepared for the guests. ”
Ma couldn't help but wonder: "What guest?" Why don't you know? ”
