Your daughter's strategy

Chapter 13 Departure

Xu Jinghuan came back very late, and it was obvious that he drank a lot of wine. He was Xie Yuan. Naturally, many people toasted him, but Xu Jinghuan was very good at drinking, and he was not drunk. He talked about the situation at the banquet with the old lady: "Master Yang is also here, and he has a very good relationship with Master Yu, talking and laughing, like old acquaintances, Master Feng didn't talk much, just kept smiling, and couldn't see anything, but obviously not as good as Master Yu and Master Yang Good Relationship."

The old lady said: "The relationship between the court and China is so complicated that you can't figure it out for a while. You just need to remember to be alone." She also talked about going to Dengzhou: "The people sent by your grandmother also lived half of the time. It's been more than a month, I'm just waiting for you, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the wedding day, and you're not in time for these entertainment matters, just have an excuse to hide, I've set a date for the second day of September , when the time comes, you can leave."

Xu Jinghuan hesitated: "The matter of the Zhang family..." The old lady waved her hand and said, "I have my own opinion. You can't help here except to ask for information. Naturally, I will do my best to help if I can."

Xu Miaoyun has been very happy since she learned that her brother Zhongzhiyuan is going to go to her grandmother's house, so she packs up her luggage all day long, buys the grasshopper cage that she cherishes on weekdays, and buys a worthless little windmill. The willow baskets were also brought.

If it turned out, Xu Miaoyun would definitely chat with Zhang Baoer about what to bring, but now that something happened to the Zhang family, and the dark clouds were covering the top, she would not bother her at home. Following her grandmother's order, she prepared a lot of herself Hand-embroidered handbags and handkerchiefs and the like can be regarded as filial piety when given to grandma's family.

Sure enough, as the old lady said, Xu Jinghuan was invited to a banquet on the second and third day, but the old lady personally pushed them out. On the second day of September, Xu Jinghuan and Xu Miaoyun set off on time, and Xu Jinghuan brought Dongting and Dongzhu with him. The two servants, Xu Miaoyun brought Dangui, Ginkgo, and Ginkgo three girls, and the servants of the Cen family led by Cen Fu's family, guarding the courtyard, and they were safe along the way.

Until the boat sailed, Xu Miaoyun still couldn't believe it, and ran around in the cabin. Cen Fu's family took care of the affairs on the boat. Seeing Xu Miaoyun so happy, he smiled and said: "Miss, carefully get seasick."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of seasickness."

Ever since she fell into the water when she was a child, she had some inexplicable fear of water, but she was not afraid of it on the boat. Looking out of the window, there were green hills or fields on both sides of the river, and it was August again, and she could even smell the water on the shore. Osmanthus fragrance.

Xu Jinghuan was looking at the ceremony presented by Dong Zicheng. Dong Zicheng also passed the exam this time, but his ranking was relatively low, but Mr. Dong was still very happy. He even set up a floating mat at home for three days, and Dong Zicheng only found time to see him off today.

What Dong Zicheng sent was a small wooden box, which contained 200 taels of silver, and a letter in which he wrote his future plans. He also said that next year Chunwei would go to the capital to reunite with Xu Jinghuan. He also gave Xu Miaoyun a pair of pearl earrings, a pair of Emerald bracelets, a pair of gold and silver hairpins.

Xu Jinghuan looked at the letter and pondered. Dong Zicheng's letter also mentioned a point. The prefect's brother-in-law secretly sent someone to find Mr. Dong. Master Dong refused.

Prefect Shen's brother-in-law was able to come to the Xu family for help, so it was obvious that he knew that the Xu family could settle this matter, so where did the prefect Shen have the confidence?

After all, the Xu family is still in vain now, but if Zhifu Shen got the news in advance that the Xu family was going to recover, what kind of position will the Xu family get after the recovery, so that Zhifu Shen thinks that the Xu family has the ability to save people?

The Xu family is relying on Prince Kang, Mr. Bai Ge and Shen Zhifu are Prince Duan's people, no matter how you look at it, the Xu family will not help, what is the plan of Shen Zhifu?

Is there any inside story that the Xu family doesn't know?

"Brother, someone is fishing for fish and shrimp outside. I want to eat crabs." Xu Miaoyun rushed in enthusiastically, and was attracted by the jewelry from Dong Zicheng in the box on the table: "This earring is so delicate, brother, are you Want to give it to me?"

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said, "It's from Zicheng."

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised: "Brother Zicheng, why did you give me such a valuable thing?"

Xu Jinghuan joked: "You are Xie Yuangong's sister now, so he naturally wants to curry favor with you."

But Xu Miaoyun didn't believe it: "Brother Zicheng is not such a sycophant. He gave it to me specially, and it has nothing to do with you." As he spoke, he gestured for the earrings, and then remembered the crab, and pulled Xu Jinghuan out of the room. Ask the boatman for some seafood.

The boss of the boat is from Hangzhou. Knowing that the people on board are the top candidates in this year's provincial examination, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent. He personally sent some fish, shrimps and crabs over. They all looked good, but Xu Jinghuan didn't have the habit of taking advantage of things for nothing. So he took out 50 taels of silver and asked Dongting to come forward and invite the people on board to drink.

Osmanthus culinary skills around Xu Miaoyun are the best. They cooked steamed crabs, fish fillets in vinegar, hibiscus meat, crab roe and tofu, and cooked a pot of three fresh green bamboo shoots and ham soup with fresh shrimp and ham. Each dish was cooked twice. Brother and sister Xu Jinghuan ate one, and asked someone to send another to Cen Fu's family.

Xu Miaoyun ran around in the cabin for a long time, and wanted to play on the deck, but Xu Jinghuan refused to do so. He still remembered the situation when Xu Miaoyun fell into the water last time, and now Xu Miaoyun was still a little worried in the cabin, let alone go to the deck , one accidentally fell down, this is a canal, not the West Lake, it might be more difficult to save people, he is not willing to take this risk.

Xu Miaoyun struggled for a long time, Xu Jinghuan made a gesture to ask her to read and write, so Xu Miaoyun reluctantly went back to the room to play with Dangui Ginkgo and the others.

The boat passed through Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, and headed east to Dengzhou. It was already September 25, and the wedding was scheduled for September 28, just in time. Seeing that the pier of Dengzhou Prefecture arrived, Cen Fu's family Having seen the carriage of the Cen family and the steward of the Cen family on the shore, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he had successfully completed the task.

Xu Miaoyun stood on the ground again, still not used to it, Dangui and Ginkgo were similar, swaying left and right as if drunk, the steward of Cen's family immediately came up to kowtow to say hello, and took care of the two brothers and sisters Luggage, and then went to Cen's mansion by car.

The coastal area of ​​Dengzhou is remote, but the folk customs are simple, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going. It can be seen that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are prosperous.

The carriage drove for a cup of tea, turned into a quiet alley, and walked for a while, outside Cen Fu's family said: "Master Biao, Miss Biao, it's time to get off the carriage."

Xu Jinghuan lifted up the curtain first and jumped down, then picked up Xu Miaoyun, only to find that the carriage was parked in a yard, and there were two sedan chairs in the yard, and a rough envoy woman carrying the sedan chair stood beside her, bowing her head. With their heads lowered and their hands respectful, the brother and sister got into the sedan chair and then headed all the way to the inner house of the Cen Mansion.

The sedan chair stopped outside the second gate, and the two followed Cen Fu's family all the way in. Before they stopped, Xu Miaoyun heard an urgent voice: "Are you here? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

When she looked up, she saw a white-haired old lady rushing towards this side holding the girl's hand. When she saw Xu Jinghuan and Xu Miaoyun approaching, she stopped, looked at it for a long time with tears in her eyes, and then stretched out her hand and said : "Brother Huan, Yuner, I am my grandmother."

Xu Miaoyun's tears fell immediately, and then she was hugged into a warm embrace, and she burst into tears.

It took a while to hear Xu Jinghuan's voice: "Grandmother, my sister and I are already here, don't be sad, you will break your body from crying carefully."

The old lady Cen let go of Xu Miaoyun in her arms, and went to hold Xu Jinghuan's hand again: "Brother Huan, I've heard all about it, you know Yuan, good, good, you finally won a sigh of relief for your parents."

Speaking of her daughter and son-in-law, the old lady Cen was even more sad, and cried for a while, when a lady full of jewels stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, old lady, you should be happy that your nephew is so promising. "

Xu Miaoyun looked at the lady, she was a little plump, but she was kind and kind, so she knew she was an aunt.

Under Mrs. Cen's persuasion, the old lady Cen took Xu Miaoyun with one hand and Xu Jinghuan with the other, and then went to the inner hall. Look to the right, a smile blossomed on his face.

Mrs. Cen was busy making tea and snacks, and then ordered some young masters and girls to come and see the guests.

Although Xu Miaoyun only met once when she was a child, she was deeply impressed. His uncle was of good character and did not take concubines. Both his two sons and one daughter were descendants of his wife. His aunt was dignified and generous, very kind. Little goldfish to yourself.

Not long after, with a burst of talking and laughing, two young people came in outside, a young girl. Mrs. Cen introduced herself with a smile, and identified them in turn according to age. Xu Miaoyun looked at each of them one by one, remembering their appearance carefully , the tallest, very handsome is the eldest cousin Cen Qing, the gentle and gentle, the bookish second cousin Cen Jiang, and that girl is naturally the cousin Cen Han.

Of the two brothers of the Cen family, only Cen Jiang was younger than Xu Jinghuan, and several of them called out to each other.

Cen Han stepped forward and took Xu Miaoyun's hand and said with a smile: "I wish to have a younger sister the most. Now it's all right, mother, let my cousin live with me. I promise to take good care of her."
