Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 6714 Where did he go?

"It should be here soon." Yang Ruoqing looked out from under the swaying curtain, and there was already a subordinate trotting over to meet him.

"How's the situation? Where are Master Yang and his family?" Yang Ruoqing was the first to jump off the carriage and asked the subordinates who came to meet him.

"Returning to the master, Mrs. Yang took the children to settle down in the farmer's house with lights on in front. Mrs. Yang knew that the master was on the way and had been waiting. This subordinate will lead you there."

Farmer's home.

The aunts (sisters) who had been away for nearly a year finally reunited.

Yang Ruoqing held Xiao Hua's hand tightly, looked up and down: "I've lost weight, I've lost a lot of weight!"

Xiao Hua was also full of excitement, she let go of Yang Ruoqing's hand, and greeted Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong again.

"Where are the children?" Yang Huazhong hurriedly asked. In the winter night when the dripping water turned into ice, the reason why this man drove dozens of miles to this place where birds don't shit, most of the reason was for a pair of grandchildren.

"Sleeping in the next room, I let the servant girl watch."

"I'll see the children go."

Yang Huazhong stepped into the next room, and Yang Ruoqing also came in.

In the dim and dark room, there were two children lying on the simple plank bed, the older boy was of course Feng'er.

The smaller one is Fuwa.

"Look at the place covered by the quilt, Feng'er has grown taller again."

"Fuwa's eyebrows and eyes have also grown a little, much bigger than when she left. Haha, the two children are well raised."

Afraid of waking up the children, Yang Huazhong just wanted to touch the children's faces and went out, but found that the palms of his hands were covered with calluses. Instead, he touched the heads of the two children with the back of his hand, smiled gratefully at the maid, and lowered his head. Said in a low voice: "I'm tired of you, watch them more."

When the servant girl saw the master and aunt coming in, she quickly got up and stood aside with her head lowered, not daring to speak.

Hearing the master talk to him so politely now, it frightened the maid.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to Yang Huazhong: "Father, you scared this little girl, let's go out first."

Yang Huazhong was a little embarrassed, nodded and went out first.

Yang Ruoqing pulled up the quilt for the children again. Although they were sleeping on the bed of a farmer's house, the quilt seemed to belong to Xiaohua and the others. The quilt was a bit damp after a long journey, and the two children suffered.

Back in the main room, Xiaohua was introducing a gray-haired old woman beside Yang Huazhong and the others.

"This is Mrs. Zhu. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu and Uncle Zhu took us in here this time, and gave us a place to stay. Otherwise, the carriage would break down in the cold weather. I really don't know what to do."

Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing first expressed their sincere thanks to Aunt Zhu, and they looked around and didn't see Da'an from the time they entered the door until now.

"Hua'er, where is Da'an? Why are you three?" Yang Huazhong asked anxiously.

"And what happened to your carriage? Didn't you bring a lot of entourage and guards with you when you came from the capital? Where are they?"

Xiao Hua's expression was very troubled, Yang Huazhong asked several questions in one breath, but she didn't know which question to answer first.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhu greeted her: "Everyone, sit down and drink some hot tea. The hot water is boiled for dinner. The tea is wild tea picked by the old man on Guniuling behind..."

"Thank you ma'am."

Yang Ruoqing winked at Yang Huazhong and the others, Yang Huazhong could only hold back his impatience and sit down first.

Xiao Hua said to Aunt Zhu: "Ma'am, I'll just wait with my family. You can go back to the house and rest."

Aunt Zhu nodded and went back to another room.

Here, Yang Ruoqing asked Xiao Hua: "Hua'er, where did Da'an go? Why did you come here again? Don't worry, tell us slowly."

Xiaohua smiled wryly: "Sister, Da'an went to Guniuling."

"What is he going to Guniu Ridge for? Is it something evil? Why don't you go back to Guniu Ridge?" Yang Huazhong was furious.

"Father, keep your voice down, don't wake up the children." Yang Ruoqing gave Yang Huazhong a look.

Yang Huazhong frowned, sat on his side, took out a pipe and stuffed it in his mouth, but did not light it.

Xiaohua glanced at Yang Huazhong in shame, lowered her head, put her hands on her lap, grabbed the handkerchief that had been crumpled, and whispered the whole story.

"We originally brought our attendants and guards with us. Later, when we entered Wanghai County, Da'an left them in the county seat. He said that we didn't need to go back to the village so much, just bring a maid, because Fuwa has been in the capital for a year. That servant girl and I are the ones taking care of it, and Fuwa is not used to being away from that servant girl."

"I can understand this, but why did you come to Guniuling instead of taking the official route? Are you lost?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xiao Hua shook her head, "It's not lost, it's because when our carriage passed by, the horse didn't know what was going on and didn't obey, and led us all the way through the woods. Fortunately, we met Uncle Zhu and the villagers. They helped to control the frightened horse, but the wheel of the cart was stuck, so we had to rest here and wait for Daan to find someone to fix the wheel before leaving.”

"Uncle Zhu said that there are only three or four families at the bottom of Guniuling, most of them are old people, and the younger people have moved to Baiyan Town, ten miles away. The old people don't know how to repair wheels, so Da'an can only go to Baiyan. Looking for someone in the town, Uncle Zhu drove an ox cart and took Da'an to Baiyan Town at noon, Uncle Zhu came with a master who repaired the wheels in the middle of the afternoon, but Da'an didn't come back. "

"Uncle Zhu said that when he found the master, the master was working on a job and would not be back until half an hour later, so the two of them waited there. Da'an suddenly went out on the way, saying that he met a classmate who went out to sit down for a while. I came back in a while, but half an hour passed, Uncle Zhu didn't wait for Da'an, and didn't know where to look for it, so he had to wait there. Uncle Zhu waited until it was dark and Da'an didn't come back, so he had to come back first, maybe Da'an Did you come back early? But Daan never came back."

"We were all worried. I remembered that Da'an had told me before that he seemed to have a classmate in Baiyan Town. His surname was Deng, and he was a Juren. I begged Uncle Zhu to help me find Deng Ju's family in the town. Uncle Zhu I took a few uncles from the village to the town together, no, they haven’t come back yet! It’s really frightening to death..."

"Baiyan Town?" Yang Ruoqing was a little surprised, she turned her head and called two subordinates outside: "Is there any news from Baiyan Town?"

The subordinate who was stationed here before replied: "The news I have learned is exactly the same as Mrs. Yang said, because I saw Master Yang appearing with an old man in a carriage and horse shop in the town before, Later, Master Yang left midway and lost track, we found this place through the old man, and found Madam Yang and Miss Young Master."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, then waved her hand to signal them to back off, then turned her head and asked Xiaohua, "Are you sure that Da'an's classmate in Baiyan Town is surnamed Deng? Or is he a Juren?"
