Chapter 172 No.90 Seven Homecoming
Yanzi peeled two peanuts and threw them into his mouth: "It was when my aunt took me to wander around the town last time. Those people knew that my family was doing well, and they were willing to spend money on shopping, so they brought us a box of jewelry. It said it belonged to a princess. I didn’t believe it at the time. Where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, where did the princess come from? The man said with certainty that it belonged to a princess. My aunt is very knowledgeable, saying those things It is indeed handmade in the style of the capital, and two of them are from the inner government, and other places can't do it."

"Did you... buy it?"

"My aunt said that she doesn't like things in the capital, so just take a look."

Xiaodong nodded, and Yanzi reminded her kindly: "Auntie, it's time for that to start?"

"Oh." Xiaodong opened the steamer, hot white air burst out, carrying a pungent fragrance.

Swallow couldn't bear it anymore, took a piece of chopsticks and tasted it together.

"Auntie, it would be great if I could stay for a few more days. I want to learn how to cook with you."

Xiaodong smiled: "You don't want to go home?"

Yanzi was immediately discouraged: "I think...but we will definitely be punished when we go back."

Of course.It has developed to burn down the house and still not be fined?Then he might kill someone next time.

"Auntie, do you want to go to Suizhou?"

Xiaodong was startled, Suizhou...

Although she had never been there before, she was no stranger to it... at all.

Qin Lie had described to her many times how natural and beautiful the scenery in Suizhou was, and that was his hometown.

Xiaodong was also very moved——

But... What she and Qin Lie plan is to either go back during the Chinese New Year, or go back next spring and summer. If you come back to the capital in summer, you can still arrive in the capital before the first snow falls.

Several of Zhao Lu's comrades were probably a little apprehensive of such a powerful prince like An Wang, so they didn't stay for dinner, but with the brothers and sisters of the Li family, the scene couldn't be deserted.He was also very relaxed in front of An Wang, chatting endlessly.Although the food is not rude, it is also not refined. The cook of Prince An's Mansion specially showed his skills for the princess to go back to her mother's house, which made Li's third child smile.

Looking at their eating patterns, even Wang An added half a bowl of rice more than usual.

The innocence of the children is not adulterated at all, they still have the concept of power in their hearts, they are purely curious about King An, rather than seeking to curry favor like others.Wang An was obviously in a good mood, almost answering every question.

Yanzi's eyes were round, and he suddenly asked, "My lord, can you let my aunt go back to Suizhou with us?"

Xiao Dong was taken aback, Wang An was obviously a little surprised, but what kind of city he is, of course he wouldn't show anything on his face, he just asked with a smile, "Why?"

Swallow's chopsticks scratched back and forth on the edge of the bowl, a little coy: "We... actually sneaked out from home and came to the capital with sister Shi's family. At home... we made some trouble. If we go back by ourselves , my uncle will definitely not spare us... Well, if Uncle Lie and Auntie go back together..."

Children are also cunning.

An Wang smiled.

Of course, if Qin Lie sent them back in front of guests, the elders of the family couldn't teach them too harshly.Besides, Qin Lie will definitely intercede for them.If Xiaodong went back together, the confidence would be even greater.

Neither is Xiao Dong Qi, nor is Le Le.

Children's cunning is cunning, but their cunning is very childish and cute, not annoying.

King An suddenly said, "Xiaodong, what are you and Qin Lie planning?"

"We originally planned to either go back for the winter or go back for the summer next year."

Wang An nodded: "Actually, it's good for you to go back this year. These children seem dishonest, so don't run away halfway back."

Xiaodong was also worried.These three children are really worrying. Although Qin Lie said he would send someone to send them back, they got into trouble in Suizhou and were locked up. They still sneaked to the capital. What can't be done? ?

"But..." Xiaodong hesitated.

After all, in fact, she was reluctant to part with King An and Zhao Lu.

Just married, still getting used to the new house and new life, suddenly going to Suizhou so far away, it is impossible not to feel uneasy.It was completely strange to her there, and there was no Wang An who doted on her or Zhao Lu who protected her.Qin Lie... Qin Lie was her husband, but after all, she had only lived with him for a short time.

Furthermore, it is not so easy to go out in this era. In modern times, everything is easy to talk about, just buy a plane ticket and a small bag is enough.But in this era, it is not an easy task to prepare everything for food and clothing, and to travel by car, boat or sedan chair.Xiaodong has never been to far places, at most he went to the mountain for leisure, and that was only a day or two, which is different from such a long-distance trek.

In fact, there was another reason, they were not in a hurry to go back, because although Suizhou was Qin Lie's hometown, he had no relatives there other than the Qin family.The Lin family is almost an enemy, and the Qin family's mother's family... that would have been broken long ago.There are no relatives to visit, and no ancestral tombs and ancestral halls to offer sacrifices to.At this time, people say that the constant love for the country is actually mostly nostalgia for relatives.Qin Lie didn't have such concerns, so naturally he wasn't in a hurry to go back.

"It's good to go back and have a look, Suizhou..." King An was a little lost in thought: "Your mother was born in Su'an. If you pass by, you can go and have a look..."

what……

Yes, that's also Yao Qingyuan's hometown.

Xiaodong's nostalgia for this mother is not deep.One is because she has memories of previous lives.The second is that Yao Qingyuan left too early, and she was not the one who raised and took care of Xiaodong all this time. If you say it, Hu is more like a mother.She took care of her for more than ten years. When she was young, she dressed her, fed her, and put her to sleep.When she gets older, Hu Shi will teach her the principles and rules of many girls' families first...

"Alright...go back, I'll discuss it with Qin Lie."

The Yanzi and native brothers looked at each other, smiling triumphantly.

These three children have probably been thinking about finding a backer for themselves to avoid punishment, right?At the time when they found the capital, they probably thought the same way, but unexpectedly, Li Wanhe and the Qin family had already left.If they were sent back by Qin Lie again, Li Wanhe would not only have to settle with them for burning the house, but also for leaving home and sneaking into the capital.Combination of punishment for two crimes will definitely not be taken lightly.

Zhao Lu showed a look of reluctance: "Father, my sister has never been far away from the capital..."

"Sooner or later, I always have to go and have a look." Wang An said thoughtfully, "If I don't get entangled in mundane affairs, I really want to go and have a look."

Zhao Lu closed his mouth and ate his food.

Xiaodong was also a little undecided.After going back to discuss this matter with Qin Lie, Qin Lie was very happy: "It's good to go now, it just happened to have rained, the weather should be good in the next few days, and the road should be easy to walk."

"But..." Xiaodong said softly, "I've never left the capital..."

And the first time I left, I went to a place as far away as Suizhou.And along the way, water and land were tossed...

Qin Lie hugged her with a smile: "What's the matter, I want to take you to more places in the future. Do you know? Go westward, pass Taozhou, and it is Ye'an where your brother was stationed. From there Further to the west, out of Shuangjing and across Danxia, ​​there is a desert. I have walked that road twice. The desert is very hot in the daytime, but extremely cold at night, and people are shivering with the cold even when they are wrapped in fur coats. At that time, the moon seemed very close, as if you could touch it with your hand. The sky was dark blue, and the stars were more beautiful and shining than the brightest gemstones. The sand dunes far and near were as silvery as frost, as if falling It was like a layer of snow, so beautiful. At that time, I thought of you and the many places I had traveled—I wanted to take you to see them all. This world is very big, and everywhere is so beautiful..."

Xiaodong was moved by the beauty he depicted.

Yes, her field of vision is too narrow, and she is only trapped in such a square world like the capital.Women in this era are all like this, so she has never felt that there is anything wrong with living like this.

But Qin Lie opened another door for her.

This world is very big, not only a small piece of sky like the capital city.

"Hmm..." Xiaodong said softly, "You remind me of the story of sitting in a well and watching the sky. I am like that frog, sitting at the bottom of the well and not daring to jump out. Although the bottom of the well is small, it is safe...the outside world is vast. Beautiful, but also strange and full of danger."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiaodong smiled slightly at him.

Yes, she is not alone.Qin Lie was as stable and reliable as a mountain.

What's more, it's just a trip back to my hometown.The fourth princess is so delicate and picky, and she went back to the hometown with her son-in-law to worship her ancestors.Although I complained in every possible way after I came back...

"OK then."

A hammer is fixed.

All of a sudden, there are many things to face, and the preparation work for travel is not easy. The clothes to wear, the food and medicinal materials to be prepared, these things alone can fill most of the boat, bedding, books, teapots, cups and chopsticks, and even Basins, gargles, and toilets must also be brought.Xiaodong was a little surprised: "These...are you bringing them too?"

Hu nodded heavily: "Take it with you."

Uh……

Xiaodong asked Qin Lie, Qin Lie also nodded and said: "Since you can take it with you, then take it with you, otherwise you will not be used to it outside. The best inn on the road has the same things inside, let alone on the boat. It will be inconvenient everywhere if you don’t take it with you for many days.”

Xiaodong really wants to confess that she is not spoiled—but she has been spoiled for the past ten years.Let her use a dirty toilet, a washbasin with a sink, or crude utensils, and she... well, I can't guarantee that she will be able to adapt.

Also, if you bring anyone, Mrs. Hu will definitely follow. Although Xiaodong persuaded her, thinking that she is no better than a young man, it is better to stay in the mansion, but Mrs. Hu insisted very much. It seems that Xiaodong can't eat without her. It's like I can't sleep anymore: "The princess asked me to stay, I must be worried for twelve hours a day."

As for the others, Hongfu took care of Xiaodong's personal work, such as combing hair, changing clothes, serving tea and making quilts, she was the one who came, so she was a must.Red Thorn is taciturn but cautious, so it must be brought along.The others were screened and screened and selected by Mrs. Hu, and in the end Ke'er and Miao'er were able to accompany them.

The three brothers and sisters of the Li family were also so excited that they jumped up and down every day. Although the capital is good, they are homesick after all, and they are already returning home.

The mansion is making preparations, other major travel matters, arrangements for transportation, escorts, etc. are all made by Qin Lie.

Xiaodong was so busy that she felt dizzy, but suddenly remembered something.

That Miss Shi Xiu stayed with her cousin in the capital?Or go back to Suizhou together?
