"Well, when the time comes, when you make arrangements, come and look for me." After that, Ji Yuexian looked at Lu Zheng'an, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. "Speaking of which, you're a bit of a bit of luck. Not to mention how much dried peaches have helped you make, just the few live treasures in your workshop, if you put them before, you may not be able to invite them for any amount of money, but you will be able to meet them. And not to mention that the shop is doing well, the thousand-year-old little fox in Shen Ji is still rushing to find you to cooperate. ”

Ji Yuexian's voice fell, and she was given a blank look by the old lady Ji who got started. "Look at your sour appearance, today's kitchen dishes are enough without vinegar. You only see that the time is good for Zheng'an, so why can't you see when he shuttles through the orchard under the cold wind and scorching sun, and when the fruit is carried out of the garden again and again? ”

was told by Mrs. Ji like this, Ji Yuexian pursed her lips and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing that Ji Yuexian was deflated, Lu Zheng'an was very happy. shook his daughter's little hand and was about to tease him a few words, when he felt that the daughter in his arms was quiet and a little abnormal, he looked down and found that the little girl had fallen asleep at some point.

It would take nearly an hour and a half from Jiang'an Town to Lujia Village, and although Lu Xingyi fell asleep, Lu Zhengan did not dare to stay in Ji's house longer. Seeing that the time was not early, he hugged Lu Xingyi and said goodbye.

After Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu came to the gate of Ji's house, looking at the old lady Ji who came out to see them off, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but ask: "Does the old lady still have to go out after the New Year?" ”

"Naturally, you have to go out, but you have to wait until you get warmer. I've heard that the wild vegetables in the north are delicious in the spring, and I'm going to try them too. ”

As soon as Mrs. Ji's words came out, Ji Yuexian's legs were weak and she almost knelt down in front of her. "Grandmother, my ancestors, let's take a year and a half off. Your old man has only been back for a few days, why are you thinking about going out again? ”

Hearing this, Old Madam Ji couldn't help but glare at him. "What? If you run out, I won't be able to go out and walk around? ”

"I didn't suffer ......," Ji Yuexian's face changed suddenly, and when he saw that there was no one else around, he relaxed slightly. When I go out, I have serious things to do, and if it is not a last resort, who wants to go all the way to the deserted south. ”

Lu Zheng'an hugged Lu Xingyi, who was asleep, and listened to their grandparents and grandchildren talk a few words. Worried that the cold wind at the door would blow his daughter sick again, he said hello to Mrs. Ji and Ji Yuexian, and then got into the carriage with Song Huaishu and walked to Hualong Town.

There was no Song Huaishu in Lu Zhengan's plan to go south, and now when he heard that Lu Zhengan was going to take him with him, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. At first, when he was at Ji's house, Song Huaishu was embarrassed to ask Lu Zhengan why he suddenly changed his mind, but now that there were only three of them in the carriage, Song Huaishu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Zheng'an, why did you change your mind and take me with you?"

"It's always a little uncomfortable to leave you alone at home, and I want to take you out to see the outside world. Don't worry, I have already discussed with him on my father's side, and after the New Year, I will let him set off with his mother and Xingyi to help take care of him for a period of time. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengan had already made the arrangements quietly, Song Huaishu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Holding his daughter's hot little fleshy hand, Song Huaishu was silent for a long time before nodding obediently.

……

The weather on the sixth day of the new year is clear and the sun is shining.

Early in the morning, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had already packed up their belongings and put them in the carriage. Looking at Lu Xingyi, who was still sleeping in the bed, Song Huaishu reluctantly kissed him, and then followed Lu Zheng to the house.

"Although I went out with the young master of the Ji family, I can't rely on others for everything outside. Everyone at home is here, you don't have to worry, you must come back safely. ”

Listening to his father-in-law's earnest instructions, Lu Zhengan nodded hurriedly. "Father, don't worry, we will take care of ourselves, you can rest assured when you are old."

Knowing that Lu Zhengan was a good person, Song Xiren answered and didn't say anything more. However, when his eyes turned to Song Huaishu, Song Xiren opened his mouth but said nothing.

The carriage slowly drove away from Hualong Mountain, and on the way to Jiang'an Town, Song Huaishu suddenly remembered something. So, he grabbed Lu Zheng'an's palm and lowered his voice, and asked curiously: "Zheng'an, most of the Ji family's belongings have already been sacrificed, so what is Ji Yuexian going south for?" ”

Lu Zhengan didn't expect Song Huaishu to ask this question, and after hesitating for a moment, he honestly shook his head.

"I don't know the purpose of Ji Yuexian's southward journey, but although the Ji family has withdrawn from Shangjing on the surface, no one knows what happened secretly. You should still remember that the five princes suddenly came to Yuanyang a year ago, when the situation between the DPRK and China was so tense, he was able to appear in Yuanyang so casually, and I am afraid that there are still a lot of inside information. I estimate that Ji Yuexian's trip to the south this time will certainly have nothing to do with Shangjing. ”

After saying that, Lu Zhengan wrapped Song Huaishu's hand in his palm, looked up and glanced at the handlebar style of the car, and continued softly: "We don't know what the situation is like when we go south. Although the purpose of Ji Yuexian's southward journey is unknown, this time I can be with him, and aside from the rest, at least my safety can be guaranteed. In the future, if there is anything unusual on the road, you must not pay attention to it, you just don't know everything. ”

Song Huaishu is not the kind of dumbfounded person who can't breathe, and this truth is naturally understood.

However, listening to Lu Zhengan's instructions, Song Huaishu still nodded obediently. "I know this, you can rest assured."

Because the two of them set off early, they arrived at the door of Ji's house at the end of the hour. When the doorman guarding the door saw that it was Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu who had arrived, he hurriedly entered the inner courtyard to report.

Ji Yuexian had already packed up, and at this time she was leaving the Ronghua Courtyard where Mrs. Ji lived. Hearing that Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu had arrived, they hurriedly helped Mrs. Ji out of the door.

When she walked to the second gate, Mrs. Ji suddenly stopped. Turning his head to look at his grandson who was supporting him, his eyes seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end he just patted the back of his hand and said, 'Be careful in everything.'"

Hearing this, Ji Yuexian's eyes were hot, and she knelt down at the feet of Old Madam Ji and bowed deeply to her.

When Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu came to the second gate with the Ji family's gatehouse, they saw the scene of Ji Yuexian kneeling to say goodbye to Mrs. Ji. In order to avoid embarrassment, the two did not come close, and it was not until Ji Yuexian got up from the ground that they came to the two of them.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan really came with Song Huaishu, Mrs. Ji's eyes were full of relief.

"When you're out and about, you have to be careful. The hour is not early, so let you start the morning. ”

After Mrs. Ji's words fell, the three of them answered, bowed down and saluted Mrs. Ji, and then got into the carriage under Mrs. Ji's gaze and headed for the wharf in Jiang'an Town.

Chapter 135

Although it was with Ji Yuexian, but after the three of them arrived in Yongzhou by boat, Ji Yuexian said that there was something to do, and left four people to escort Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to Chizhou first.

Although Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu were not too tired, the feeling of floating on the water always made people feel a sense of vanity in space. It wasn't until they abandoned the boat and stayed ashore for two days that they felt better.

In the past two days, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu have gone to many dry goods shops together. I saw that the things inside were very similar to those on Yuan Yang's side, and there was nothing particularly new. Coupled with the spicy taste here in Yongzhou, it is extremely difficult for Song Huaishu, who has a light diet, to adapt. After eating it for two days, a few bubbles appeared on the side of my mouth.

Lu Zhengan looked extremely distressed, and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine powder to help him apply it, which made it better.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng'an did not stay any longer, and took Song Huaishu and the four guards left by Ji Yuexian to Chizhou in a carriage.

Because of the geographical location, although it is only mid-February, the weather has already changed into thin clothes. Compared with Linzhou, Yongzhou has green waters and green mountains all the way, and the scenery is very pleasant.

Looking at the lush woods beside the official road, Song Huaishu was very curious, turned his head to look at Lu Zheng'an, who was recuperating with his eyes closed in the carriage, and said, "Has it always been so warm on their side?" If this can be done in winter, it would be a good place to recuperate. ”

"The light here is different from ours in Linzhou, and the temperature is naturally different. For someone like you, it's a good choice to come here for the winter. However, there is a lot of rain here, and it is not suitable for people with cold legs to live here for a long time. ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand and scooped Song Huaishu from the car window into his arms, arched his chin at his neck, and watched Song Huaishu itch and shrink his neck, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth. "I heard Ji Yuexian say that there are abundant fruits here, if we can find some durable and easy to transport, we can also change the pattern in our shop. When the time comes, there will be more people in the south, and then we will bring our father and mother, as well as Xingyi, and let them come and have a good time. ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt an extra hand in his shirt.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly reached out and pressed his hand and glanced at Lu Zhengan. "We're still in the car, don't make trouble!"

Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu's blood-red earlobes in front of him, raised his chin and kissed them. "yes, I know."

Seeing that Lu Zhengan's hand was indeed not excessive, Song Huaishu relieved himself. Stretched out his hand and took the book that he hadn't finished reading yesterday from the small table on the side, and continued to lie on Lu Zhengan's lap and read it slowly.

By the time Song Huaishu was woken up from his dream by Lu Zheng'an, it was already twilight outside. Song Huaishu rubbed his eyes, got out of the carriage, and found that they had arrived in a small town.

"Where has this been? What time is it? ”

Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand and took Song Huaishu from the car, "It's already midday, let's go to Shanglin Town, you get out of the car quickly, and I'll take you down for a walk, so that you won't be able to eat later." ”

When he heard that it was already unitary time, Song Huaishu was also a little surprised. Holding Lu Zhengan's hand, he said as he walked forward? "I've slept for so long, why didn't you wake me up?" ”

"What do you do when you wake up, the road is boring, and you are still on fire these days, so if you can sleep more, you will naturally sleep a little longer."

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the town around the carriage. Although it is now twilight, there are still many pedestrians in the town. Because of the different customs and climates, the townsmen, women and children wore colorful homespun clothes, silver hair accessories, and their arms and calves were exposed. Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.

Song Huaishu had never seen such clothes, and when his eyes swept over the exposed calves or arms of others, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his hand unconsciously grabbed Lu Zhengan's sleeve.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh for a while. Stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said softly: "It's okay, people's customs here are like this, if you care too much, it will look different." ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu nodded. Mustering up the courage to raise his head, and seeing that the passers-by were all looking at them with curiosity, Song Huaishu turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan's expression, and saw that he was calm, and slowly relaxed.

A group of six people came to the largest inn in the town, and Lu Zheng'an asked for a few rooms and settled everyone down, and then he and Song Huaishu came to their room under the leadership of the junior in the running hall.

Unlike the Linzhou side, the houses in Shanglin Town are wooden structures, and the ceilings of the houses are not very high. The furnishings in the room were also very simple, with nothing but a bed and a table.

Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu stood at the door, watching the little two in the hall light the oil lamp on the table in the room. Seeing that although the furnishings in the house were simple, the cleaning was quite clean, and after letting Xiao Er help him serve some local specialties, Lu Zhengan sat down on the edge of the bed.

A moment later, Xiao Er walked in with a tray. In addition to two bowls of rice noodles, there is also a plate of rice tofu and stir-fried bacon with chili.

The two of them had been in the carriage all day, and they had no appetite. However, after smelling the aroma of rice noodles on the table, I came to a little spirit.

After the two of them sat down and tasted the soup, they found that the soup of the rice noodles looked clear, but it was chicken soup as the base. The master who was in charge of the spoon poured a spoonful of chili oil and balsamic vinegar on it, which was extremely appetizing.

Rao is Song Huaishu, who eats as little as a cat, and he couldn't resist the temptation of rice noodles and ate a whole bowl.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh when he saw him lying on the bed and rubbing his stomach vigorously. "It's okay if you can't finish eating, can you be comfortable holding on?"

As he spoke, Lu Zhengan stepped forward and took his hand away from his stomach, pulled his arm and pulled him up from the bed. "If you eat too much, you can't rub your stomach, so get up and take a walk to digest it."

Song Huaishu stood up with Lu Zhengan, touched his nose with a wry expression, and said: "When I ate it, I felt that it was very sour and spicy, and when I reacted, the whole bowl was already in my stomach." Remembering that when he was asleep, Lu Zhengan hugged him all the way in the carriage, and he must have been extremely tired, so he hurriedly said to him: "You are also very tired all the way, first wash and lie down to rest, and I will eat and sleep later." ”

"I was in a car all the way, so I was so tired. You wander yours, and I'll talk to you. ”

Speaking of which, the two had been away from home for nearly a month, and when they remembered their daughter, who was still asleep when they left, they didn't know if they would cry when they woke up......

Noticing that Song Huaishu's mood was suddenly a little depressed, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little strange. He sat up from the bed and looked at Song Huaishu and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are you suddenly unhappy? ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu smiled slightly, turned around and came to the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Lu Zhengan. "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I've been away from home for so long, and I miss Xingyi a little."

Hearing Song Huaishu's explanation, Lu Zhengan put the water cup on the small table at the head of the bed. He got up and took Song Huaishu into his arms and patted him lightly on the back. "Bear with me for a while, and after a while, we'll go home, and then we'll take Xingyi and my mother to Yuanyang, okay?"

Song Huai's book is just talking, and listening to Lu Zhengan comfort himself like this, he felt quite embarrassed in his heart.

"Well, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Seeing that Song Huaishu's expression was a little confused, Lu Zhengan seemed to think of something, and asked Song Huaishu to sit on the bed to rest, and he used the excuse of asking Xiao Er to boil water and send it.

The two of them had been in a carriage for a day, and they smelled of dust on their bodies, and they really needed to take a hot bath. Therefore, after listening to Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu did not suspect it, and watched Lu Zhengan go out.

After Lu Zheng'an went out, he asked the boy who ran the hall for a large bucket of hot water, and then asked Xiao Er about the shops selling ready-to-wear clothes in the town. After receiving the answer, Lu Zhengan paid a tip of five large sums of money and hurriedly walked to the shop.

I don't know what the difference is between the South and the North, there is no curfew here. So even though it's dark, there are still a lot of people hanging out in the town.

Lu Zheng'an followed the shopkeeper and found a ready-to-wear shop, and the shopkeeper's family was eating. Seeing that a guest came to the door, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and came over to greet him.

"What do you need, guest?"

When Lu Zhengan entered the door, his eyes kept wandering over a beautiful colored dress on the wall. Listening to the old man ask him in a jerky official language, Lu Zhengan replied with a smile: "I'm tired of the old man taking off that dress and letting me take a look at it." ”

The other party looked at Lu Zhengan's finger and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and took off his clothes with a homemade clothes pole.

"The guest is really eye-catching, and this wedding dress was made by my mother-in-law for three months."

Lu Zhengan took the robe in his hand, touched the peony embroidered with colored silk thread on it with his hand, and fantasized about the picture of Song Huaishu wearing this dress, and the whole person could not help but feel a little excited.

"Boss, how much does this dress cost?"

"The five coins of silver are all embroidered by my mother-in-law, and they cannot be sold without them." As he spoke, the boss of the ready-to-wear shop waved his hand.

Lu Zhengan thought that he would ask for two or three taels of silver, but now when he heard that the clothes only cost five yuan of silver, he felt a silver horn from his sleeve pocket and handed it over without thinking about it.

The old board didn't arrive first Lu Zhengan paid so quickly, and after taking the silver in his hand, he confirmed that it was true, and bowed to Lu Zhengan again and again to thank him.

Song Huaishu, who was waiting at the inn, couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that Lu Zheng'an had been out for a long time and had not returned. I was about to open the door and go out to have a look. As soon as he was about to open the door, Xiao Er, who was delivering water, knocked on the door, and at the same time, Lu Zhengan also walked upstairs with a cloth bag.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an returning, Song Huaishu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Where have you been? How did you go for so long. ”

"Just walked around the door." Lu Zhengan said, putting the cloth bag in his hand on the bed. Seeing Song Huaishu staring at the cloth bag curiously, Lu Zhengan smiled and picked up the things.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu's curiosity was even greater, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you taking here?" ”

At this time, Lu Zhengan had already unfolded the cloth bag, and took out the colorful skirt under Song Huaishu's curious gaze.

Seeing that Lu Zhengan had gone out for so long to buy this, Song Huaishu couldn't help but be a little funny. "What are you doing when you buy this, we don't want to wear it like this, and my mother is afraid that she will be at the bottom of the box if she accepts it."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan raised his eyebrows. "Who said it was for my mother?"

Seeing Lu Zhengan's ambiguous expression, Song Huaishu still didn't understand something, and his face suddenly turned red. "You, what are you messing around again?"
