The little lady in the palace

Chapter 185 Journey
The family set off at the beginning of November, and they had to travel by land for a few days before changing to water. Although the water is inevitably cold in winter, the land route is more exhausting in comparison.

The main reason is that when people are on the boat, they have all the kitchens and bedrooms, and they can pay more attention to food and accommodation.But by land, you can either take a carriage or ride a horse yourself. If you want to be particular about it, you can’t be particular about it, so you have to make do with it for a few days.

This time Yuyin called He Jing to go with Xie Sheng, Xizhen and the others were going as well, but last month they suddenly found that Xizhen was pregnant, so it was not suitable for such bumpy rides.

Therefore, although the number of people who went with them was not as many as expected, it was not too small.The boys rode outside most of the time, Xie Cheng was with them, and He Jing didn't care, and sat together in Yuyin's carriage by himself.

After most of the day, Yuyin felt that it was not appropriate, and said to her: "If you want to talk to Ah Cheng, ask him to go in the car together. You don't have to let him play with the younger brothers."

Those four have been riding horses and running ahead since they left the house, so they understand that they are having fun as soon as they go out!

But He Jing said: "Hey, it's okay, let them play, I just come to accompany mother and concubine!"

So the mother and daughter talked all afternoon, and at night they rushed to the nearby official post to rest.When Ming Jing set off again the next day, she saw that the eldest sister had gotten into the carriage of the mother concubine and quit, and ran over to sit with the concubine mother!

She raised her face: "When I was at home, I said that I would take the car with you, mother concubine, you are partial!"

Yu Yin was so guilty of being reprimanded by her that she could only smile and agree to sit with her. Meng Junhuai, who had just got on the horse next to her, happened to hear it, so she rode the horse and came over and asked Ming Jing, "Will my father take you to ride?"

Ming Jing's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she immediately responded "Yes"!
But in less than an hour, Yuyin saw Meng Junhuai riding his horse back, and when he turned back, Mingjing was gone in his arms.After a while, Xie Sheng rode to their car and talked to He Jing, and Yu Yin asked him what happened to Ming Jing?Xie Sheng laughed and said, "The horse bumped even more, Ming Jing fell asleep not long after, and my uncle sent her back to the carriage to sleep."

Yu Yin chuckled, and Xie Sheng said again: "I see that A Zuo and the others are also very tired, but my uncle also rides a horse, so they are not willing to rest first. In addition, the brothers compare with each other, so they gritted their teeth and died. You have to continue riding the horse."

Is the family still so desperate to save face?

It is rare for a boy of this age to save face without dying.

Yuyin wanted to laugh, but she didn't do anything to stop her. She only ordered half of the four dishes from her side to be sent to the boys during lunch, and Lan Jing also sent some. Anyway, she and He Jing It is enough for Ming Jing to use together.

In a carriage a little further back, Lan Jing saw that her aunt and concubine had asked someone to add food, and without thinking too much, she lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Tan Yu!"

Tan Yu was in a daze on the horse's back, and after hearing the words, he got off the horse and clasped his fists at the side of the car: "My lord."

"You guys share these dishes." Lan Jing said, then turned around and served him the dishes, "I don't have much appetite, and you are more tired riding horses, don't be hungry."

The last time Lan Jing traveled far was before the death of the late emperor. She was young at that time and didn't pay attention to the things along the way. Only this time did she realize that the food and lodging on the way was just enough.

But in comparison, no matter how good they are, they still have a few decent dishes for a meal, and the accompanying servants can only eat noodles and other things during the day, and they can only get something else when they arrive at the post station at night. have eaten.

So even if Tan Yu refused intentionally, she still insisted that he take the food.Then the two were silent for a while, Lan Jing sized him up and said hesitantly, "Your family matters... don't be too sad."

"I'm fine." Tan Yu smiled, but her eyes were red.Endured it and said, "It is said that auspicious people have their own appearance, maybe when I go back, their illnesses will have been cured?"

He was looking forward to this, but on the day when the land route changed to the water route, the news of his grandfather's death came.

The family letter was handed to him by Shen Jin who was next to Shizi, and Tan Yu understood what was going on as soon as he received the letter.Because sending a letter costs a lot of money, he had told his family earlier that if his grandfather and father were both well, try not to write to him, and if something happened, be sure to tell him.

So Tan Yu pinched the letter wood for a long time, but before opening the letter, his vision went dark.

"Tan Yu!" Shen Jin supported him, Tan Yu clenched his teeth and restrained himself for a long while before crying.

Shen Jin was taken aback for a moment, then guessed what the letter might be about, and felt sorry for him in his heart, sighed in a low voice: "My condolences. You have to endure it before you cry. Look at the moment..."

He wanted to say that crying like this might be seen by the masters at any time, but before he finished speaking, the commander of the guards had already looked over.

The commander immediately raised his brows, walked towards them, took off the saber on his waist, and drew the scabbard on Tan Yu's back: "Why are you crying? Are there any rules?"

Inadvertently, Lan Jing, who just saw something strange coming over here, froze at her feet.

The commander planned to take advantage of this incident to vent his anger.He and Tan Yu didn't have any serious enmity, but didn't the people around Er Weng Lord all come from low backgrounds and their families were poor?So when they received rewards on weekdays, they didn't know how to benefit him at all, and sent all of them home, and he got angry when he thought about it.

Apart from the four of them, the only ones who dare to do this are the four people around His Royal Highness Shizi—but can Er Wengzhu compare with Shizi?I have no eyesight!
So Tan Yu was kicked again because he couldn't hold back his tears quickly. He was desperately holding back his tears when a sentence came from not far away: "Stop!"

Several people looked at the past at the same time, and the Er Weng Lord who was not far away obviously looked unhappy.

The commander didn't panic, and bowed to her: "My lord, he has no rules, no matter what!"

"Let Commander bother you." Lan Jing suppressed the panic in her heart, and said as calmly as possible, "I will take care of the people under me."

Probably because the partiality in her words was too obvious, the commander was a little unwilling: "Master, this matter..."

"If your lord thinks there is something wrong with entrusting it to me, you can tell my father." Lan Jing was so nervous when she said this, she was quite afraid that the commander would really go to her father to complain.It's okay for the father to punish her for this, but what if he doesn't want to ask Tan Yu to stay in the mansion?
But fortunately, the commander didn't want to make a big fuss.He seemed to be a little surprised by her sudden toughness. After being stunned for a while, he said softly: "There is nothing wrong, there is nothing wrong, and it should be handed over to you, Lord Weng."

Then a few people dispersed.Lan Jing waited on the pier for a while, and after her father, queen, concubine, elder sister, elder brother, and third younger brother got on the boat first, her boat was behind her.

When the boat sailed, Lan Jing called Tan Yu into the bedroom.

As soon as Tan Yu entered the room, she closed the door, walked to the table, brewed a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Master Weng?" Tan Yu was startled, and raised her eyes to see Lan Jing looking at him worriedly.

Lan Jing knew that he was sad, but she was not good at comforting others, so she hesitated for a long time before saying: "Don't be sad, your family's illness...will be fine!"

Tan Yu smiled dumbly, was silent for a while, and said frankly: "My grandfather passed away."

"...?!" Lan Jing was stunned, she didn't expect it to be like this, and she hurriedly said after a while, "Then your father will be fine! You...you are such a good person, there will be good rewards!"

After she finished speaking, she felt that she was really bad.He has always been able to make her happy when she is unhappy, but now that something has happened to him, she can't even say a word of comfort.

Thinking of this, Lan Jing got angry with herself, and then felt more and more sorry for him.At the moment, she doesn't care about any matters that will definitely be settled in the husband's family in the coming year, and all thoughts of alienating him are thrown into the sky.She took the tea she handed to him and put it back on the table, then walked back a few steps and said: "You told me that even if you are unhappy, you can't make the things you worry about better. Have a good time, right?"

Tan Yu took a short breath: "I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're okay at all." Lan Jing pursed her lips, her earnest tone almost sounded like she was pleading, "If you want to cry, you can cry here and ignore your commander; if you don't want to cry... If you don’t want to cry, let’s go for a walk together in Hangzhou, and the mood will gradually get better!”

"I'm really fine..." Tan Yu suddenly felt like laughing. Although the grief in his heart was not flat at all, he just wanted to laugh for no reason.

But she took a step forward, and said firmly, "I won't listen to you! This time, let me make you happy!"

God, what is she talking about?

After Lan Jing said these words, she immediately felt that she had lost her composure, but she was very stubborn and did not want to take those words back.

It seemed that after saying this, she suddenly felt very happy, and her heart was filled with fear and anticipation.She couldn't help imagining the scene of playing with him in Hangzhou, and she kept telling herself, "Just this time, just this time, and she will marry obediently in the future."

This kind of thought made her feel extremely exciting, and for a few moments, she couldn't help feeling that she had become a bad girl behind her parents' back and liking someone who couldn't be liked by them, and guilt surged in her heart , but still no match for that selfish expectation.

A few days later, she arrived in Hangzhou. As soon as she settled down, Yuyin heard that the four boys had gone to the West Lake for a horse race.

"...It's really good." Yu Ying, who was so tired and just wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep silently, was full of admiration, and waved Zhao Chengrui to step back. Just after lying down, she saw Wang Dongxu entered the room.

Wang Dongxu reported that Er Wengzhu took people to the market.

Yu Yin: "..."

Lan Jing is very lively now!

Leaning on the side of the couch, she sighed silently again that she was "old" and her energy was obviously not as vigorous as that of the children, then she turned her face and told Ming Jing: "If you want to go out to play, go, and bring some snacks for the concubine mother when you come back." good!"

However, Ming Jing yawned a lot and couldn't say it, and said that she was so sleepy that she could fall asleep with her eyes closed.

"Oh..." Yu Yin's mood improved a little, and she said silently that she might not be "old", but too young, as young as Ming Jing!

——Deceive yourself so much that you can't even think about it.

Forget it, she'd better go to sleep with Meng Junhuai and go out for a walk after waking up.It is said that the night markets in the Jiangnan area are very lively, because there are many things to buy because of the rich products, so you can go shopping at night. If you meet A Zuo or Lan Jing, you can find a famous local restaurant for dinner.
