Chapter 880 I want to go to Suzhou
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the official offices of each yamen will start after the New Year's Day. There are only eight days left before Jiang Erye and his son leave Beijing. Seeing that the family prepared more and more luggage for Daddy, Jiang Liu felt more and more uneasy, and the flesh on his little face was also falling down.
The skinny Jiang Liu didn't want to worry her family, so she held on, and she was happy every day, but she always asked every now and then, "Dad, will you take your daughter to Suzhou?"
"Brother, I want to go to Suzhou with you."
Daughter is like this, Jiang Erye dare not even persuade him, he is afraid that when the girl cry, he can't help but soften his heart. So, he threw this arduous task to his son, "Take Liu'er out to watch the lanterns tonight and coax her well."
Jiang Muyan also said to Jiang Ling, "Liu'er has a bad appetite these days, take her out for a walk and buy her more delicious food."
Jiang Ling was duty-bound to accompany his sister on the next errand, and said, "Let's all go?"
Jiang Muyan hesitated, "I have to watch Yueer at home."
Yueer was still young, her father was busy and her mother was pregnant, Jiang Muyan dared not take him out. Jiang Ling persuaded, "Let Yue'er follow her grandmother. Let's go there together as three. After seeing the lanterns this time, I don't know what year and month it will be next time."
The three of them have watched the lanterns together over the years, Jiang Muyan thought about it and then agreed.
It was still dark at night, and the three little ones who grew up in the west courtyard went out together. The maidservant, the nurse, the guard from the Zhaixing Building, and the Qin mansion guard sent by Qin Kejie secretly and secretly protected the three of them. Jiang Ling felt very relieved after checking it carefully.
Jiang Muyan took her sister's hand, pointed at the candied gourd by the roadside and said, "What does my sister want to eat?"
Jiang Liu, who has no appetite at all, said with a smile, "Eating yam beans."
Yam bean has the smallest candied gourd, Jiang Ling pulled one from the grass handle and handed it to his sister. When it was time to look at the lanterns, although Jiang Liu still had a smile on his face, Jiang Muyan and Jiang Ling looked even more distressed.
The flower market was still lit up like daylight. The three of them walked around and bought a lot of things. Everyone was very happy, but the atmosphere was very different from previous years.
The three chose the most beautiful river lantern, ran to the river and made a wish, put the river lantern into the water and watched it slowly drift away, merge into the Deng River, and flow into the distance.
A sadness that could no longer be suppressed as the river lights flooded, Jiang Liu laughed more ugly than crying. But she still endured it. Her brother was leaving, so she had to let him have a good time. "Brother, let's go to see the dragon lantern?"
Liuer waited like this, how could Jiang Ling have the mind to watch the dragon lantern. He stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go home."
The three returned to the mansion, and Jiang Muyan said, "I will send the lantern to the North Courtyard, and Brother Ling will send Liu'er back to the West Courtyard so that she can rest earlier."
Jiang Ling knew that the third sister was asking him to persuade Liuer, nodded in agreement, and took Liuer to the study room in the Western courtyard. Father hasn't come back yet, mother and Yue'er are both in the north courtyard, and only the two of them are in the study room in the west courtyard.
Jiang Liu smiled and said, "Brother didn't take the big cousin and the others to the light market tonight, the big cousin will definitely make trouble with you later."
Big cousin is not afraid of making trouble with Jiang Ling, but he is really afraid of his sister. Jiang Ling sat in front of his sister across the table and coaxed softly, "Liu'er, I promise you, father will return to Suzhou safely, don't worry..."
He hadn't said add, Jiang Liu's tears rolled down one by one.
Although he was very hopeless, Jiang Liuzhen couldn't help it, "Dad came back safely, what about you? You swore in front of your grandmother that you would sacrifice your life to protect your father, what about yourself?"
Jiang Ling wanted to say that he would come back safely, but Liuer was crying like this, how could he dare to talk nonsense. Turning to sit next to her, Jiang Ling handed over the orchid veil that Jiang left for him to embroider.
Jiang Liu couldn't hold back as soon as he cried, "Brother knows that I'm very good, why didn't you let me go to Suzhou? If you agree, Daddy won't be able to stop me at all. You know that there are so many people in the family. , I'm not bad at all."
Jiang Ling said what he said in his heart, "It's because you are so powerful that I can't let you go. Every time something happens at home, you rush to the front. Brother Dalang was arrested, you rushed up the mountain to save him, and almost killed him. Your life will be thrown in Huangyan Village. If we go to Suzhou, it will be ten times or a hundred times more dangerous than Huangyan Village. If your father or I are in danger, you will definitely lose your life.”
Jiang Liu cried, "When I went to Huangyan Village, I had already made up my mind, I won't let myself have an accident."
Jiang Ling said, "But after you came down from Huangyan Village, you had a high fever for three days, and you were talking nonsense, and it took two months to recover. At that time, your father stood by your bed and cried several times. If something goes wrong in the state, my father and I will definitely work hard, and none of the three of us will be able to come back. If you stay in Kang'an, my father will come back safely, and I will... come back alive."
Even if I really encounter danger, even if there is only one breath left, I will come back alive, Jiang Ling secretly said in his heart.
Seeing Jiang Liu sobbing and unable to speak, Jiang Ling said, "If you must go, then I will not go back to Suzhou, and let Uncle Qiu and the people from Guyuelou protect my father to go to Suzhou, and I will go back when my father comes back. ."
"Brother, I don't want to hold you back, I just..." Jiang Liu couldn't stop crying, "I just...don't worry, I'm in good health, and I think I'm quite useful."
A handkerchief was wet from crying, Jiang Ling handed the second one, "I know, you are the most useful of all the girls I know."
She has been a human being, of course, more useful than other little girls. After Jiang Liu calmed down, he felt that he was really useless. The elder brother said that if she went, he would stay in Kang'an with him, which made Jiang Liu fully understand that she would not be able to go on this trip to Suzhou. She whispered, "Brother, I'm fine, I want to go to bed."
It would be a shame for her mother and sister to see her like this.
After Jiang Erye returned to the mansion, he learned that the little girl cried and fell asleep, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay to cry, but it's easy to get sick when you hold it back."
Jiang Muyan replied, "Don't worry, my daughter will take good care of my sister."
Looking at the eldest daughter who is extremely restrained and sensible, Jiang Erye wants to say that he is more worried about this than the heartless little girl. Although it is very difficult to talk to the eldest daughter, if he doesn't seize this opportunity today, he is afraid that he will not be able to open his mouth before he leaves.
Therefore, Jiang Erye stood up and said, "Yan'er wait here for a moment, come here for the father."
"Yes." Jiang Muyan watched her father walk out of the study to the east room, thinking that he was going to change clothes, so she stood in the study and waited quietly.
Who knew that my father not only changed his clothes, but also brought a money box.
Jiang Erye motioned for Shuying and Tingqin to go out and wait. He put the money box on the table and sat at the table with the momentum of being a father, and said, "Yan'er come and sit."
"Yes." Jiang Muyan walked to the table and sat in her seat.
Jiang Erye looked at his daughter who was far away from him, and was a little discouraged. He wanted to set up a few words before entering the topic, but now he couldn't remember anything, so he simply pushed the money box over. , said, "This is prepared for my father long ago, and I will buy you silver taels for dowry."
