Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 168 Prepare to Pack
Gu Qinglian benefited from her elder sister Gu Qingyuan's face, Shen's family agreed to Shen Congjia's arrangement to accompany her to visit Master Gu.In her heart, she silently felt that it was both happy and awkward to visit her old father this time when she looked back at the Mansion. She was happy that she could finally leave the stuffy Shen Mansion with its airtight square walls, take a stroll around, and feel the long-lost free air.It will take a month to come and go, but some people have fun.

The awkward thing is that she has to be alone with Shen Congjia for a long time again, and she doesn't know how to get along with him day and night for such a long time.Another thing is that it hasn't been a year or so since she traveled here, but apart from knowing a little about Shen's residence, she knows very little about Gu's parents, brothers and sisters, and there are few people in Gu's house on weekdays.If there is a flaw in the reckless behavior and words in this back and forth, the play will not be easy to perform.

Fortunately, on weekdays, from the contacts between my aunt and Gu Qingyuan, in the nagging words, I will more or less mention some big and small things in the Gu family, and I have learned some things related to the family.

Generally speaking, Gu Qinglian is still very happy, no matter what, the time of this trip will definitely become an unforgettable happy time in Gu Qinglian's memory.

Shen Congjia was waving the Qinglong Sword in the backyard. This was his daily homework. The reputation of this great general was not in vain. Shen Congjia was agile, moved very quickly, and the blade pointed loudly.At this time, he was just thinking about leaving the sergeant for such a long time, and he always felt something was missing in his heart.When I think about going back to her mother's house with Gu Qinglian, I feel somewhat cumbersome. After all, I am a military commander, and I have never been very good at these trivial family affairs, but I can take this opportunity to give myself a vacation. I am very tired from being busy with military affairs in the day.You can also take this opportunity to see Gu Qinglian's reaction to herself.

In the past few days, Shen's residence has been busy preparing the materials and objects for the eldest grandma to visit relatives, looking back at the filial gifts from the family to Mr. Gu, and the accompanying gifts brought by the Gu family's cousins ​​and elders.Large and small wooden boxes are neatly arranged in the courtyard.

In Gu Qinglian's room, all kinds of soft gold, silver and jade articles of clothing are being packed.I heard from Gu Qingyuan that there are still brothers and sisters in the family, and everyone has to prepare some greetings. After all, this is the first time I have returned to my mother's house after getting married. Although I don't know the situation at home, I must do this secular and common sense etiquette well.It can not only save their own face, but also cover up their ignorance.In case Shen's mansion can't survive in the future, Gu's mansion is her only escape route.

It is a very grand event for the son-in-law to go back to his mother-in-law's natal house. Old General Shen also prepared a gift of his own and gave it to Shen Congjia, asking him to give it to the Gu family as well.What General Shen handed over to Shen Congjia was a red mountain jade tortoise gift. This jade is crystal clear, the knife is sharp and delicate, and the tortoise pattern is lifelike and lifelike.Although Mr. Gu resigned and stayed at home, the Gu family's connections still extend in all directions. On the one hand, Old General Shen took care of the relatives of the Shen and Gu families, and on the other hand, he admired Mr. Gu's daily work as an official and government.

The attendants of Shen's residence were busily sorting out the cars, sedans, luggage and other spare items waiting to depart, and the maids helped the master with the daily necessities.Gu Qinglian was dressing up in the dormitory happily. She was wearing a double-embroidered satin dress in blue and blue, a laurel green chest-length Ruijin skirt, red jadeite bead earrings, red gold phoenix-tailed agate tassels, and a silver double-button bracelet wrapped in silk.On weekdays, what Gu Qinglian likes most is playing with the jewelry in the silver box, and now she wants to play with it even more.

In a blink of an eye, it was the auspicious day for Shen Congjia and Gu Qinglian to go back to their natal family to visit their relatives. Early in the morning, the Shen residence was bustling with activity, and the old General Shen's family sat together for breakfast.More than a dozen maids were busy serving tea and changing dishes around the feast.Old General Shen was very happy to see the whole family gathered together.During the dinner, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhang respectively expressed their concern and blessings to Gu Qinglian, Master Gu. Although these trivial homely things are rarely mentioned on weekdays, it is a very appropriate time to make homely things at this time.

The aunts in several rooms also offered gifts to greet Mr. Gu in priority and second, and entrusted and Shen Congjia hoped to give them to Mr. Gu.Gu Qinglian thanked each other one by one with a smile, thinking that although these aunts usually fight each other, if something happens, they can still take care of each other.

Hey, human feelings really make Gu Qinglian feel very complicated and subtle.

When it was time to set off, all the people of the Shen residence had gathered in the backyard, and the horses and sedan chairs were already waiting outside the courtyard gate.Shen Congjia and Gu Qinglian bid farewell to their parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law. Big guy, you tell him to cherish every word. The parting scene is so emotional.

On the surface, the aunts in the next room were booing and inquiring towards Gu Qinglian, but in fact she hated her to death in her heart. Although Gu Qinglian had already felt it in the past few days, she didn't take it to heart because she was the beneficiary, so let them go.

Shen Congjia rode a black whirlwind steed, and four or five entourages brought five or six carts of gold, silver, soft goods and various treasures together with Gu Qinglian's sedan chair, and walked out of the street slowly, heading straight for the east of the city.

Along the way, you can have a panoramic view of the bustling streets of Kyoto. The out-of-city teams are wandering on the bustling avenues. The gorgeous sunlight is shining among the red walls and green tiles everywhere. The shop signs and flags fluttering high, the shimmering horses and chariots, and the endless stream of pedestrians, all of them show the prosperity of the Daqi Tianxia at this time.

Gu Qinglian looked at Shen Congjia who was accompanying him through the window of the sedan chair, and saw that he was riding a black whirlwind under his crotch, wearing a black cowhide general armor, a cowhide brass and gold armor helmet, and a red and black face. He wears a charging shawl, a three-foot green dragon sword on his waist, and black feather boots. Against the background of the rising sun, he looks particularly vigorous and heroic.Gu Qinglian looked at the candied haws on the street, and glanced at Shen Congjia.

"I want to eat candied haws!" Gu Qinglian opened the car curtain and shouted to Shen Congjia.

Shen Congjia glanced back at Gu Qinglian as if he didn't hear, and continued to ride forward.

"Hey, I want to eat candied haws!" Seeing that Shen Congjia didn't respond, Gu Qinglian got angry and opened the car curtain and shouted at him.

Shen Congjia still pretended not to hear, and continued on his way.She has so much to do!
Fortunately, Gu Qinglian, in a fit of anger, jumped out of the sedan chair on her own.

Don't beg you, I'll do it myself!
Seeing this, Shen Congjia had no choice but to stop her, and at the same time complied with her and replied, "Okay, I'll buy it! Can't the girl of the Gu family not only lift the curtain of the car, but also jump into a carriage!"

After hearing this, Gu Qinglian's face immediately turned red. You must know that Gu Qinglian's skin is still very thin.

Shen Congjia stopped his horse, turned over and got off his horse, and picked the longest and largest bunch of candied haws from a roadside stall.He handed it to Gu Qinglian's car window, "Here are the gourds for you!" Shen Congjia also felt weird when he said this. A dignified general bought a bunch of candied haws for his wife on the side of the road. .

How ridiculous it would be to spread the word!His face didn't look natural either.

Gu Qinglian took the candied haws that Shen Congjia handed over, and ate them with relish.While eating candied haws and looking at Shen Congjia on the horse from the window, she suddenly felt a thumping feeling in her heart.Shen Congjia is a philandering radish, if it weren't for this bad point, Gu Qinglian would have thrown herself into her arms a long time ago.

It's a pity that in this feudal Daqi world, there is no room for such a comfortable monogamous system as she thought.Thinking of this, Gu Qinglian sighed dejectedly again.

Watching the sun gradually rise above the head, the accompanying convoy has been out of the city for two hours. After changing the prosperous and lively scene in the city, looking around, the villages and people are sparsely scattered in the green mountains and green waters. between.At noon in summer, the sun scorched the earth, and the green grass on both sides of the post road shrugged.

Gu Qinglian fell asleep in the sedan chair due to the unbearable heat, while the servant girl who followed her was fanning the cattail fan with a listless and tired face.

Shen Congjia led the convoy away on the winding wilderness post road.In the wilderness of the mountain pass, a cloth banner was erected far away, which said Longma Inn, and the big dark green characters occasionally danced twice with the wind on the cloth banner.

Shen Congjia ordered to stop here, so as to have a meal and rest the team here.

Gu Qinglian got out of the sedan chair, widened her eyes curiously, and looked around at these strange objects.

A dozen or so people settled the carriages and horses, and walked into this small but clean inn one after another.

This inn is a two-story watchtower building made of wood and bamboo. The lower floor is a place for entertaining and dining, and the stilted building on the second floor is a guest room for overnight stays. The owner looks very kind.

After Shen Congjia made arrangements for the attendants, he glanced at Gu Qinglian and asked, "What do you want to eat later?"

"Anything!" Gu Qinglian casually agreed while stroking her numb legs sitting in the sedan chair.

"I see green mountains and green waters here, deep grass and lush trees. There must be a lot of game. Would you like me to get you some?" Shen Congjia looked outside the shop excitedly, "Maybe we can even hunt wild deer!" Shen Congjia thought to himself She said so, but she didn't realize that Gu Qinglian was only busy with the boat and car, and didn't even think about talking about any game.

"Oh! If there is a flock of sheep, can you roast lamb for me?" Gu Qinglian said casually while rubbing her thigh.

Shen Congjia didn't answer, quickly took the bow and arrow and took two followers, and walked towards the barren hill south of the inn.

This land is a barren hill at the junction of Kyoto and Nanguo, with deep grass and dense forest.On weekdays, people passing by take a rest here, and few people enter here, let alone hunting.

As soon as Shen Congjia and his two followers stepped into the forest, a flock of wild ducks startled them.The black flock of ducks yelled and fled towards the depths of the woods while flapping their wings.He immediately took out three feathered arrows from behind, and quickly wound them up, only to hear a whoosh, and the three feathered arrows rushed towards the fleeing ducks like a bolt of lightning.Three black wild ducks fell into the pond not far away.

"Master is really good at archery!" The two attendants rushed over immediately, not forgetting to flatter them as they walked.

"Don't move!" Shen Congjia suddenly yelled loudly, and the two followers stopped immediately.

In the grass not far ahead, a pair of gray hares were waiting for an opportunity to escape. Shen Congjia lowered his body and put two feathered arrows on his right hand to fill the bowstring. The bowstring changed from a full arc to a straight line. The hare fell to the grass in an instant.

"It seems that we have some game to taste today!" The attendant rushed up happily, and picked up two still struggling hares and three wild ducks.
