Chapter 196 The Trip to the Xia Mansion
Baozhu nodded and said, "In this way, it has been difficult for your grandma these years. If my father finds out, he should take back what he said yesterday morning."

He nodded, half-closed his eyes and recalled: "When I was a child, I was often troubled by one thing, why my mother left home, and grandma didn't come to look for her until my father left." After a pause, he sighed, "Baozhu said Well, the world is unpredictable, now that I know the reason, I think I should let go of the past."

Thinking of something, Baozhu pouted at him, "Sister-in-law said yesterday that you should be a rich son, but now a rich grandma has come to your door, I'm afraid she's seduced you."

"Baozhu is talking witty words again." He fixedly looked at Baozhu with calm and gentle eyes, "I just feel that I am still not good enough, and I am afraid that Baozhu will get tired of me one day."

Baozhu shot him a look, and suddenly asked: "What if your grandma tells you to go south?"

Wei Sipei curled the corners of his lips, "My home is where my father and Baozhu are. Besides, after all these years, things have changed, and I don't know how my grandma and uncle treat me."

Baozhu agreed, "I haven't lived together for so many years, just like sister Ximei who went to the Zhao family. Even if I come to the Chen family now, I'm afraid I can't regard the Chen family as my own home." The conversation changed, and he said, " Although this happened suddenly, I feel that your grandparents and uncles should always treat you well."

After finishing talking, the matter of receiving the pair of shoes flashed through his mind very quickly, and after a little thought, he decided not to tell him.

Wei Sipei put down the letter in his hand, raised his head to discuss with Baozhu, and said, "Mother is sure about this matter, some of my grandma just found the county and found out about our marriage, so I just came to hurry and send a congratulatory gift first, she is very old It is inconvenient to travel far, and the letter mentioned the matter of recognition many times, what do you think of Baozhu?"

Baozhu smiled, "Of course I have nothing to say, if you want to go back for a while, I will support you."

"It's us." He pursed his lips and smiled, "Grandma has repeatedly mentioned that she will take you with her."

Baozhu looked at him half-believingly, pouted, and stamped his foot before the desk. He immediately moved out half of his buttocks, handed her the letter, and said with a smile, "See for yourself."

After reading through it, I saw that the letter was written by Mrs. Xia herself. The words were extremely earnest, and the words showed her concern for Si Pei and her emotions from relief to guilt for the passing of Si Pei Niang. After reading the whole article, Bao Zhu felt that the old man was extremely She was considerate and friendly, seeing that the concern for Si Pei in her letter did not seem fake, so she nodded and said, "You can just watch the arrangements."

He responded softly, took Baozhu and clenched his hands tightly, "Is it okay to change the trip to Bianzhou to the trip to Jeju?"

Baozhu looked at his thick eyelashes close at hand, couldn't help fiddle with them, looked at him and blinked with satisfaction, then smiled and said: "Cheng, I haven't traveled far a few times when I grow up like this, and I haven't even been to the south. , just go and have a look at your hometown, discuss it with your parents in a while, and we will set off on a date."

In the evening of that day, Wei Sipei narrated the content of the letter to the three Gaotangs in detail. Wei Yuanyuan was also from Jeju. When he learned that the second lady of the Xia family had eloped with someone, he thought that she might have found the love of his life. He felt depressed for a while, so he left home Youli, because his parents died early, he had no concern for Jeju these years, and he didn't know what happened in the city back then, so he couldn't help sighing at this moment, "Your mother used love too much back then, if you can Go back and take a look, maybe it won't lead to such consequences."

Wang also sighed, "Your grandma cares about you and your mother so much, you should go back and get to know her."

Chen Tiegui was silent at the moment, Baozhu knew that his father was probably feeling guilty at the moment, and wanted to let him go down the stairs, so she asked, "Is it OK for Dad to watch?"

Chen Tiegui murmured, "Since you've figured out the misunderstanding before, don't delay. It's better to leave early, and bring more generous gifts!" He then told Baozhu, "Xia's family is a big family at first glance. Even if you are a rural person, you have to be taught to understand the rules and understand the general principles!"

Baozhu smiled and agreed, and that night excitedly discussed with Wang what special products to prepare when going. On the second day, Wang urged Baozhu to prepare earlier, and set off in two days.

The meaning of their elders is that it is a big deal to recognize relatives. The old man is concerned about his grandson. Now that he has found it, he must be in a hurry around the house. He will leave in two days, and the old man will have a wish later. .

Three boxes of special walnuts from Qinshan Mountain in Yanzhou, two boxes of persimmon cakes from Pingfu County were prepared for the gift, and the snacks, cloth, calligraphy and paintings on the side will only be bought in Jeju Prefecture. According to Wang, the Xia family is originally a wealthy family, so they wear well. What have you never seen?If you send too much cloth and satin, it would be too vulgar. If you go all the way, it is reasonable to bring some special products, which is not shabby but also a good idea.

After the presents were ready, Chen Tiegui went to buy a carriage in person, and Mrs. Wang couldn't stay idle in this house, so she made a special trip to the cloth shop to buy two ready-made clothes for Wei Sipei.As for Baozhu, a box of new clothes was made by herself and her third aunt in the past years. She doesn't like to be too fancy on weekdays. Putting it in the box was about to get moldy, so Wang picked out a few western-style clothes, compared the brightly colored ones with the plain ones, frowned and said, "Young girl, why do you always wear such plain clothes? What I want is that freshness! When my mother was young, she wished she could wear bright red clothes every day!"

Wei Sipei smiled and squeezed Baozhu's face, "Baozhu looks great in a red dress."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang listened to his words, Baozhu put the red and purple clothes into the package, rolled her eyes at Wei Sipei, and closed her mouth wisely.

After picking out the clothes, Mrs. Wang went to collect several pairs of shoes and socks.

Zhaodi went back to the county today, knowing that Baozhu was going to Jeju, Gu Kong slipped into the house and squeezed Wei Sipei away, dragging her and nagging her endlessly, "If you have any hard work, just let your brother-in-law do it, if your brother-in-law bullies you, just bully you back , you have to be more careful when walking outside, and be careful when you meet bad people!"

Wang Fulai patted her and snorted: "Your sister is not as thoughtful as you are? Worry about it!"

Baozhu smiled, and chatted with his uncle, he said with a smile, "This time we are going far away, and the people in the house can't take care of us. I and Sipei will take care of each other along the way. Don't worry too much about the journey. Take it easy at most five or six times." The day is here, so just rest assured that the shop has your uncle and your third aunt, brother Liangdong here, so just rest assured and play for a while."

Chen Tiegui chuckled, "Don't worry about the baby, Sipei is a doctor, so don't be afraid if you get headaches along the way, just take it easy."

After dinner, Mrs. Wang was taking care of Baozhu and Chen Tiegui, while Chen Tiegui muttered, "Although what Grandma Sipei said in the letter was touching, but after thinking about it for the past two days, why do I think there is something wrong? Tell me. , his grandma didn't want to find her mother before, so she should know that his mother will have children with his father, so why did she suddenly want to find his mother when she didn't miss them all these years?"

Chen Tiegui snorted at her, "The whole family clapped their hands when they saw you a few days ago, but now you have a lot of trouble!"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Look at the two children who are so happy, how can I say that!" After a pause, he said, "Maybe it's because I think too much. When I get old, I always miss my children. Many years have passed, and she is afraid that she has let go of it, and she is no longer angry with Si Peiniang."

Chen Tiegui glanced at Mrs. Wang, "Dear grandson, what else can you do if you are worried about it? Your mother-in-law is also very good at looking for trouble!"

Wang was suffocated in anger, unable to refute, and swept the bed with a broom to drive him off, "You're the only one who understands! Go for a stroll outside, didn't you see that I'm busy?"

Because she was a little worried, she told the two of them in the orb room that night to go and be polite to grandma and uncle. If there is nothing to do, they will come back earlier when they meet each other. The two families are far away. I can always go once, and it’s not good to leave this side for too long.

Wei Sipei nodded in response, "Mother, don't worry, this time I plan to stay in grandma's house for three to five days before going back, and take a look at the various scenery along the way. Including the round trip, it will take less than a month."

Wang's heart felt a little relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang got up in the kitchen to cook a pot of dumplings, and the two precious pearls ate them. Wang originally said that he would leave after dawn, but Chen Tiegui urged that the city gates would be opened, so hurry up so that we can arrive in the evening Settle down in the city.

When Wang's eyes were red and he couldn't tell the two of them, Chen Tiegui had already moved the boxes outside and shouted to them.

Baozhu and Sipei Qiqi advised Wang a few words, and they left the door under Chen Tiegui's urging voice. Chen Tiegui saw him off all the way, and did not stop until he reached the gate of the city. Road, please take care of my two children along the way."

Lao Li laughed and said, "At my age, I have traveled to the south many times. The employer can rest assured."

He poked his head out of the Baozhu carriage and waved his hands at his father, trying desperately to reassure his parents, until his figure turned into a black dot before he retracted his head sullenly.

The carriage moved forward along the small road outside the city. In the carriage, Wei Sipei took out some snacks from the package, and took out the tea set from the wooden lattice. The square chessboard came, and it just fit the pieces on top of it. He said calmly, "It's boring along the way, let's play backgammon."

Just now, the depressed mood caused by sending her father away suddenly eased up, "It's the first time I left my parents, and I still have you. If I go on the road alone, I'm afraid I'm going to cry right now."

Wei Sipei smiled and patted her head, "What do you mean by finally having me? From now on, I will accompany Baozhu every day."

They finally arrived at Yanzhou Mansion before dark, they randomly found a small inn to settle down, had a meal with Lao Li and then rested, preparing to go on the road in the morning the next day.

This is the first time that Baozhu has left her family to go out alone. In fact, apart from some reluctance at the beginning, overall, the mood is still very happy. That night, the two of them dreamed about this time in Jeju in the room. All the good things about the trip.

Fortunately, after bumping along the way, although Baozhu was full of energy, her body was exhausted, and she felt sleepy after talking for a long time. Wei Sipei saw that Baozhu closed her eyes, turned around and fell asleep gently around her.

(Hehe, Grasshopper’s hometown is in Fuping, Shaanxi. Fuping does have delicious persimmons, but I haven’t been back for many years. In the article, I will use Pingfu County to promote it! Some local dialects in the article are also Shaanxi dialects, incidentally. A small number of Hebei dialects, because Grasshopper’s husband is from Hebei, such as “What’s what?”, all in all, it’s a hodgepodge of dialects from the two provinces.)
