Chapter 889: Farewell to the willow
Chapter 889
No matter how reluctant you are, the 16th day of the first month still arrives as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Jiang Erye and Zeng Xianzhi entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and then rushed to Mingdemen. It is a long journey to Suzhou, and the first step is to start from Mingde Gate.
Inside and outside the city gate, people and officials were crowded with people who saw them off. The Jiang family and the Zeng family stood at the forefront, saying goodbye to their relatives.
Because the season was not suitable, Jiang Erye finally chose the most conservative clothes-official uniform, and he rode a Mongolian horse that was selected from his son's horse farm and looked similar to Desheng. In the spring and cold, Jiang Erye kowtowed three times to his mother, got up and said goodbye to his family one by one, and then got on his horse. After Zeng Xianzhi and Jiang Ling also got on the horse, he shouted, "Let's go!"
Eight hundred feathers of Lin Wei and hundreds of family troops moved together, and the raised dust engulfed the figures of Jiang Erye and his son. When the smoke cleared, and there was no shadow of her son, Mrs. Jiang put down the curtain of the car, tears like rain.
In the post pavilion, which was five miles along the post road after leaving the south gate, Jiang Muyan, Jiang Liu, Jiang Dalang and Zheng Caiwei saw Jiang Erye coming on horseback. Jiang Erlang and Jiang Ling rode on horses and followed him closely. Jiang Xijing Follow Jiang Ling on the other side. Seeing this scene, Jiang Muyan's tears couldn't help falling. Jiang Liu and Zheng Caiwei couldn't help but burst into tears as they went out of the pavilion with Big Brother.
Jiang Erye asked Zeng Xianzhi to go ahead. He, his adopted son and Erlang dismounted, and drank the practice wine brought by Dalang and his two daughters.
Jiang Ling took the wine from Jiang Liu's hand. After drinking, Jiang Ling handed the cup to his sister and warned carefully, "It's windy here, go back to the city early."
The tearful Jiang Liu sucked his nose and said with a smile, "Okay. Brothers, don't always ride a horse. It's warmer in a carriage than riding a horse."
"Okay." Jiang Ling responded and raised his hand to straighten his sister's hair that was ruffled by the wind. Seeing that the eldest brother next to him raised his arms and hugged the second brother in his arms, Zheng Caiwei also hugged the eldest cousin. Jiang Ling, who was about to travel far away, couldn't bear it any longer, and raised his arms and hugged Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu's tears fell as his little face pressed against the cold armor.
"elder brother…"
"Um."
"come back earlier."
"it is good."
"Sending you a thousand miles away, you have to say goodbye in the end." Seeing everyone's reluctance, Uncle Qiu stepped forward and cupped his hands with a smile, "Although the willow branches are still green at this time, they can also be given to each other. Six girls are not enough. When we arrive at the willow branches, how many branches do you want the old man to help the girl break?"
Laugh at her for being short, right? Jiang Liu pushed his brother away, jumped up on the pavilion railing, raised his hand and folded a bunch of willow branches!
"Uncle Qiu" smiled, and the scar on his face twisted, looking very hideous.
Jiang Muyan, who was sobbing in her father's arms, also wiped her tears, raised her hand to break off a willow branch, and handed it to her father, "I hope Daddy will take care of your health and return soon."
"Okay." Jiang Erye, who had red eyes, took the willow branch.
Jiang Liu also handed the willow branch to Daddy, "Daddy can eat whatever he wants, rest when he's tired, don't make yourself wrong."
"Okay." Jiang Erye responded and said with a smile, "I found something delicious along the way for my father, so I asked someone to bring it back for you to try."
"Yeah." Jiang Liu agreed, and handed another willow branch to Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, you have to eat and sleep well, remember to write to your family."
"Okay." Jiang Erlang took the willow branch and rubbed Sixth Sister's head, "Don't worry."
Jiang Liu smiled at his second brother, and then handed a willow branch to his brother, "Brother, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
"Okay." Jiang Ling, who already had two willow branches in his hand, took the willow branch from his sister and held it solemnly in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Liu handed the next willow branch to Jiang Xijing, "Cousin, safe journey."
Jiang Xijing took the willow branch with a smile.
Jiang Liu took two steps back, handed a willow branch to "Uncle Qiu", and said solemnly, "You also take care of yourself."
"Uncle Qiu" bowed and took it with both hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Liu, the old man is not in Kang'an, so I'll have to worry about the size of the house."
Jiang stayed and handed another wicker to his wet nurse, "You should also take care of your health."
"Thank you girl." Nanny Zhao took it with both hands and couldn't help hugging the child she brought up. "Girl needs to eat more, so I can't lose weight."
Seeing Jiang Liu getting thinner and thinner day by day, Nanny Zhao was really distressed.
Jiang Liu said with a smile, "I'm not thin, I'm about to grow. When the nanny comes back, I'll definitely be half a head taller than I am now."
"Okay, okay." Nanny Zhao replied with tears in her eyes, and told the girl who was following behind the girl.
Jiang Liu gave Jiang Hou'er and Jiang Bao another willow branch, "Brother Monkey, Brother Bao, the journey is smooth sailing."
After the two took over, Jiang Liu looked up at the Li family father and son when he saw that there was a willow branch left in his hand.
Seeing Sixth Girl coming, Li Qing quickly rubbed his palms on his body, raised his sleeves and wiped his flushed face with excitement, and moved forward to meet her.
Seeing him coming over, Jiang Liu, who wanted to give the willow branch to Li Yanguang, gave the willow branch to Li Qing and told him, "The journey is smooth, and you must return safely."
"Thank you, Miss Six." Li Qing took the willow branch with both hands, so excited that his heart jumped out of his throat. When he opened his mouth several times and didn't know what to say, Jiang Liu had already bypassed him and went to talk to others. Goodbye. Li Qing followed behind Jiang Liu in despair, but was grabbed by his father and held beside him.
After Jiang Erye got on the horse, everyone mounted the horse, got on the car, and continued onward. Jiang Liu and his brothers and sisters stood in the post pavilion and waved goodbye.
When Li Qing, who was riding a horse, passed by the post pavilion, he jumped off his horse and walked in front of Jiang Liu, promising, "Liu girl, the second master saved my father's life back then, and when I go back to Suzhou, my father and son will take their lives to protect the second master, please. Don't worry, girl, the second master will be able to return safely."
Standing in the pavilion, Jiang Liu nodded earnestly, "Brother Qing'er, you all have to come back safely."
Li Qing smiled and said, "Okay, Li Qing came back from Suzhou, and then went to Liu Girl's shop to earn wages, build a house and marry a wife."
Li Yanguang originally wanted to put Li Qing in Ren's house as a servant, but Li Qing insisted on going to Suzhou with him. Jiang Liubian said that if he didn't like being in the mansion, he could go to the shop, but Li Qing still insisted on going to Suzhou with him. This is all on the way, and I even use this to tease her. Jiang Liu smiled, "Okay, when you come back, I'll pay you double wages, so that you can earn enough money to go to your daughter-in-law earlier."
"It's a deal." Li Qing showed his snow-white teeth, and swiftly rolled over to chase his father.
Looking at Li Qing, whose feet had just reached the stirrup, Jiang Dalang smiled, "This child is very different from a few years ago."
Zheng Caiwei wiped her tears and said, "Although Li Qing is young, he is very good at riding and shooting, and his brain is brilliant. My father said that when he grows up, he will be a famous person."
Jiang Liu looked at Li Qing, who was barely touching the stirrup with his toes, and couldn't imagine how loud he could be. Twenty years later, after the famous Northwest General Li went to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, he ran to Jiang Liu and asked with a smile, "Please be sure to leave a manager's seat in the shop for a certain person, and when a certain person comes back from disarming, it will be a good thing. A place to stay."
Jiang Liu, who was married at the time, glanced at his bearded half covering his face with disgust, and said, "My shop sells fat powder and spices. Where are you going, there are girls who dare to come!"
