Chapter 209 On the Road
"Miss Dianxiu, I was supposed to accompany you back to the capital, but suddenly there are other things, so let Jiang Zhan send you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you have a safe journey, and we will see you again in the capital. ”
Xiao Dianxiu had already seen Ying Shaoyan, but she knew that he was not here for her, although she repeatedly said that she had given up, her heart was still blocked. She said to Meng Yu: "Actually, it's all Dianxiu who is bothering everyone, you and Uncle Meng saved my whole family before, and I am already grateful, I can't trouble you with everything, otherwise Daddy and I will be upset." ”
Meng Yu said: "Don't say that, when Brother Xiao is here, helping others never talks about return, and whatever you do in the future is also a matter for all of us, don't stand up alone." ”
Xiao Dianxiu smiled gratefully, but said helplessly: "Big brother is a fool, he helps others without pretense, but he can cause more trouble for others." Dianxiu knew in his heart that this was on the road. She saluted Meng Yu: "Meng Yu, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Meng Yu looked at her and felt very sad. And knowing that she is a very unflattering character, I hope that when I get to the capital, my father can help her deal with Xiao Zhengyi's affairs. Otherwise, the world is hot and cold, and she doesn't know how much more she will suffer. Meng Yu glanced at Jiang Zhan: "Please!"
Jiang Zhan nodded: "Meng Yu, you can rest assured!" Xiao Dianxiu wanted to board the car by herself, but as soon as she held on to the car door, her shoulder hurt unbearably, and her face turned white in pain, but she gritted her teeth and kept silent. Jiang Zhan was embarrassed to help her just now, but when he saw this scene, he was startled, and hurriedly went over to help her and carried her into the car. He thought that maybe she would still want to look at Ying Shaoyan, so he didn't lower the curtain. Xiao Dianxiu nodded at Meng Yu. Lower the curtain yourself.
Meng Yu sighed in her heart, this stubborn woman, I hope she won't suffer too much in the future.
The carriage squeaked and moved, and Jiang Zhan rode a horse to follow along. Meng Yu watched them go away, and then returned to Ying Shaoyan and Meng Xue. The two of them never said a word.
Ying Shaoyan just silently watched the carriage go away, there was no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, there was another person in front of him. A person he grew up with and a person who also worries him.
Meng Yu said to Meng Xue: "Let's go too, now that you are happy, you will know that you are willful." But Sister Jiang is already the successor of Master Miaochang, you don't have a chance to do this anyway. ”
Meng Xue rolled his eyes and said quickly, "Can't I create my own faction?"
Meng Yu didn't expect her sister to be so sharp-toothed, and she had nothing to say after cutting it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't be tired on the road, don't be afraid of riding a horse, don't be afraid of unpalatable food, don't be afraid of hard beds when sleeping, and don't think that the water you drink is not clean." Of course, don't think the dishes and chopsticks are not clean. Don't be too cold, don't be too hot, don't be too noisy in the inn. ”
Meng Xue's dark eyes widened: "Brother, did you become my brother after you were seventeen years old? I followed my father around looking for my mother and you for two years, as if I hadn't suffered anything." ”
Meng Yu suddenly remembered that unforgettable experience. The father took the eight-year-old Meng Xue and looked for his mother everywhere. At the age of fifteen, he left his mother and searched for his father. Meng Xue suffered more, so she fell into asthma.
He didn't tease Meng Xue anymore, he wanted to take a vicious look at his cousin, and dared to make his poor and lovely sister so unhappy.
Ying Shaoyan handed over a leather mattress planted with thick camel hair: "Cushion it, otherwise your legs will be broken in a while, you don't often ride horses, you can't stand it." ”
Meng Xue didn't say anything, Meng Yu picked up her sister off the horse, took the mattress over, put the mattress on the horse's back for her, picked her up, and helped her sit firmly. Then he said, "Okay, right? Count it as my brother to compensate you for the suffering you have suffered in the past." ”
Meng Xue didn't look at Ying Shaoyan, nor did she look at Meng Yu, lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
In this way, along the way, Meng Xue and Meng Yu talked, and Ying Shaoyan did not speak. Meng Yu and Ying Shaoyan also had very few words. The three of them walked awkwardly to the east of the river.
The early winter in the north is dry and cold. Occasionally, a small breeze blows, like a knife cutting into the skin. Meng Xue has never screamed bitterly, but Ying Shaoyan saw that she was so tired that she was lying on the back of the horse, and she was very distressed, but she didn't dare to talk to her. Arrived at an inn and had dinner. Meng Yu asked the shopkeeper to burn a charcoal fire in Meng Xue's room first and told her to go to bed early. Meng Xue was about to be broken up this day, so she obediently went to wash and sleep.
Meng Yu asked the guy to burn a pot of wine, asked for a few snacks, and drank it with his cousin. "Cousin, the situation in the Qinghong faction is very tense this time, Sister Jiang is also there, and when we get to the neighboring place, we will put Xiaoxue somewhere and only the two of us will go up. ”
Ying Shaoyan drank the wine sullenly, poured a glass into his throat, and then said slowly: "Listen to you." ”
Meng Yu continued: "Your visit this time was originally arranged by your uncle, and he knows that you can't handle Xiaoxue by yourself." You follow all the way, you don't have to say anything, Xiaoxue finally relented. If you stay at home, I'm afraid you can only fight two people. ”
Ying Shaoyan drank another glass: "I don't blame my father, it's all my own incompetence." It's just that even if the matter of the Qinghong faction is solved this time, according to my father's character, I will not be restored to the military. ”
Meng Yu was also speechless.
Ying Shaoyan said: "Since it is said that I resigned for Xiaoxue, it is a private matter." Even if he carried out his father's order, it could no longer be said that he came for official business. And once the military position is gone, it will be more difficult to recover than to ascend to the sky. Especially for someone like me, if I join the army in another place, people will also talk about my father. ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Cousin, what is your ideal in life?"
Ying Shaoyan was about to pour the wine in the cup into his throat, when he heard Meng Yu ask, he suddenly stopped. He thought for a while: "It used to be a crime, so I thought that it would be good to have the opportunity to serve in the army, and to have the opportunity to go out of Xiyuzhou." ”
He put the wine glass on the small table: "I didn't expect my father to suddenly appear, I was so happy, I thought that I could do things in the Xiyuzhou army and do my father a favor, the family was very harmonious, and there was no one for him to ask for." ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Then you have come to Hedong now, and half of your wish has been reached?"
Ying Shaoyan thought about it and burst out laughing: "Now I think that if I have fulfilled my wish for my father, Xiaoxue can change her mind and go back to honor her father and mother." I really couldn't resume my military duties, so I continued to take care of my family's business. At the beginning, there was no father, just me and my mother, and we have been concentrating on taking care of some of our family's industries in Xiyuzhou. My grandfather and father were very honest, although they had been officials in Xiyuzhou for generations, and the family property was not much. I have nothing to do, I take care of it, with the help of my uncle and aunt, and the care of Uncle Zhengfeng, I still have a lot of income every year. When my father came back, he praised me, saying that I had made the Ying family richer. (To be continued.) )
