Chapter 2 Parting at the end
On the second day, the sky cleared. The rising sun lazily illuminates the world baptized by the night rain, changing day by day, making people feel that everything is new now.
Niang looked at her with tears in her eyes, and Daddy beckoned the servants to place her bags on the ox cart. Ah Wan hugged Ah Niang with tears, and then turned to pounce on Daddy. Even if there are a thousand words in my heart, I can't say them for a while. Her father and mother tearfully put her on the ox cart and followed her on horseback.
When they reached the city gate, their father and mother took the reins of the horse. The waiter jumped out of the ox cart with Ah Yao, and Ah Wei knew that her father and mother could only be sent here.
The father and mother turned over and dismounted, and in front of the waiters, they couldn't be like children in their identities. In this regard, Ah Wei was rarely relieved, she was really afraid that her father and mother would hug her and cry again. After all, she had hallucinated about crying all night, and she was a little insensitive to the crying.
Daddy had tears in his eyes, but his expression was extremely calm, and he took her hand and admonished: "You are a little naughty, after you arrive in Xianyang, you must listen to the teachings of your predecessors, don't make mistakes in your words and deeds, and serve the immortals in the coming day to achieve a solid basis for advance and retreat." Outside is no better than at home, be cautious and cautious in everything, take good care of yourself, and avoid the worries of your parents. If you encounter provocation and contempt by others, you can endure it, if you really can't bear it, then don't show mercy, kill the chickens and make an example, with your identity, do not do it next time. ”
Ah Wei nodded in response, and then was held in her arms by Ah Niang. Although Ah Niang did not cry, her voice was extremely hoarse, she leaned into Ah Juan's ear and whispered: "Ah Niang, you have been smart since you were a child, and you are not inferior to Ah An. Father and mother have raised you as a boy since childhood, but you are not a man after all. In addition, your uncle's brother and sister have also been recruited this time, and if there is any difficulty, you can watch and help them. ”
Ah Wan nodded when she heard this, but she was shocked in her heart. My uncle's family is hundreds of miles away, how did Ah Niang get the news? Besides, the concubine surnamed Chen has always been low-key and self-conscious, but now even his family has been recruited, is this because he is implicated by his own family?
However, it is not suitable to think deeply at this time, Ah Wei had to break out of Ah Niang's arms, took three steps back, and then knelt down on her knees, and after three kowtows, she let go of her tears and choked up: "The king ordered to summon me, and I can't help myself." The daughter is not filial, and she can't be under the knee of the second elder Chenghuan from now on. There are three wishes for today's departure, one is that my father and mother will work hard to add food, two is that my father and mother will love and grow old together, and three are that there is still a return day to repay my father and mother for their kindness. ”
Because at the gate of the city, passers-by couldn't help but be moved when they heard her words, and many people began to gossip about her identity and what happened. The attendants who came to summon saw that passers-by began to watch, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to disperse.
Ah Niang could only hide her face and cry, but Ah Dad had red eyes and helped Ah Wei up. He led Ah Wei to the inner servant, and his voice was sad: "I am the only one who has this daughter under my knees, and now I will entrust her to Ah Weng." After that, it seemed to take all his strength to let go of Ah Yao's hand. Then he ordered the servant to present Xie Yi and appealed in a low voice: "It's not a mere courtesy, and I hope Ah Weng will laugh." ”
The servant opened the gift box, and Ah Wei stepped on his feet to see that it was a set of bronze wine vessels for banquets. Ah Wei gasped and looked at Daddy in disbelief, this is a vessel for the state banquet, if this gift is still called thin, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a generous gift in this world. Seeing this, the chamberlain called Ah Weng couldn't help but be surprised, and then ordered someone to take it on his behalf with a smile, and then saluted: "Duke Zhou is polite, this time I will return to Beijing, Weng Ding will transfer to His Majesty the Emperor Duke Chen's love for his daughter." If you are favored by Your Majesty, it is unknown whether you will return to your hometown. It's just that Weng Ren is soft-spoken, and His Majesty doesn't dare to guess what is going on, if something doesn't work out, please don't blame Zhou Gong. ”
Daddy replied to him and said with great gratitude: "Ah Weng has mercy, whether it is successful or not, I will remember Ah Weng's help." If it is done, there is another thanks, if it doesn't work, please look at the thin face of the inheritance, and protect the little girl. ”
The attendant hurriedly took Ah Wei to his side and assured: "Zhou Gong rest assured, Ling Yan's safety in Xianyang can be guaranteed." ”
The meaning of the chamberlain was clear to all those present. In Xianyang, he can guarantee that he will not be able to make a commitment when he goes to sea with Xu Fu in the future. However, at this moment, what my father and mother want is her safety for the past two years, after all, they still want the plotters to assassinate Xu Fu, what the result is, after all, they have to wait.
She stayed in Xianyang, but her father and mother could let go of their hands and feet and fight to the death. At this moment, Ah Wan wanted to persuade her father and mother to let go. But if you want to go back to the hatred of extinction, how can your father and mother let it go easily? persuade your father and mother to let go, how can you be worthy of the brother who is in the sea of corpses?
So she could only silently wish in her heart, wishing that the assassin chosen by Daddy was a tight-mouthed assassin, and even if he failed in the future, he would not implicate his father and his clansmen. As for herself, Ah Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, compared with the life of the whole clan, does she still have a choice?
The only thing she could hope for was to come back alive. Last time Xu Fu went to sea, he finally came back alive with seventy or eighty children, and now Ah Wei can only hope that she will have a great life and will come back alive in the future.
The homeland is difficult to leave, but there will eventually be a time of separation. Seeing that the sun was rising and the surrounding temperature was gradually rising, Ah Wei had no choice but to let the attendant lead her and climb into the ox cart.
Ah Wan lifted the curtain and waved goodbye to her parents. She looked at her father and mother who saw her leave, and knew in her heart that she would never see her again. I will never see my mother who often cries and remembers my brother, I can't see my father who is obsessed with divination, and I will never even see Liang Cheng again.
The road ahead was bumpy, and from then on, she was the only one who walked alone, just like her brother back then.
The tears were blurred, and I couldn't see the figure at the city gate clearly. Ah Wan rubbed her eyes until she couldn't see the gate of Liangcheng clearly, and then sighed and lowered the curtain. As soon as he turned around, he met the inquiring eyes of the attendant.
Ah Wei was so relieved that she had to pretend that nothing happened, bowing her head and letting the other party look at her.
I didn't think about it, but there was a smile on the top of my head: "I heard that Zhou Gong's little girl has an outstanding appearance and is very intelligent, and when I see it today, her appearance is not fake, and the word smart, in my opinion, I am afraid that it is not deserved." ”
Ah Wei was furious in her heart, she had been so humiliated since she was a child. But after thinking about it again, this person was afraid that he was deliberately testing her, so he raised his head and said: "The gossip is not true, although Ah Wei's identity is special, but in the end, she is just an ordinary girl." ”
The chamberlain smiled, and then said, "I really hope that you are not as smart as rumored, so that you will not be jealous of Your Majesty." ”
Ah Wan looked at her after hearing this, and then took a deep look at the waiter.
