The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 656 Happy Returning Home (1)
Zhou Boyan sat on the chair closest to her, "I've used it."

Qing Shu saw Qingyang, Qing Hao and Luo Xiaorong sitting around the table, discussing in a low voice what to play next, she smiled, and looked sideways at Zhou Boyan, "Would you like some tea?"

Zhou Boyan was not thirsty at first, but upon hearing her question, he immediately said, "I'll drink what you make."

Qing Shu hummed, put down the half-full purse, asked Xiao Yu to bring freshly boiled water, and personally brewed a bowl of tea for him.She put the tea in his hand, picked up the half-made purse, lowered her head and asked, "Did you not eat well outside?"

"No, I've been eating very well." Zhou Boyan lied without changing his expression.

Just as Qing Shu was about to open his mouth to say something, he heard Qing Yang and the others say that they wanted to play outside for a while.She was sure, watched the three of them go out, and then asked Zhou Boyan, "Did you have a warm meal?"

"Correct."

Qingshu's voice suddenly dropped a little, "Then why did you lose weight?"

He was slightly startled, looked at himself, and then asked, "Is there any? Where did you lose weight?"

Seeing his stubbornness, Qing Shu snorted slightly, ignored him, and concentrated on making her own purse.

He didn't bother him either. While drinking tea, he looked at her focused side face, warming his heart.

Time passed quietly.When the purse in her hand was ready, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.She cut the thread, put away the needle and thread, met his gaze when she raised her head, and gave him an angry look, "What are you looking at?"

His eyes were full of smiles, "Of course it's you."

She didn't answer for a moment.

He glanced at the purse in her hand, and said regretfully, "If it's not pink, I'll take it."

She laughed jokingly, "If I hadn't promised Qiao Niang first, I would have let you wear it and walk around outside." The implication was to embarrass him in front of others.

He thought about it seriously, "This is a good idea. If someone I meet asks me why I wear a purse that young ladies like, I will tell him proudly, because it was made by my family, Ashu."

She couldn't help blushing, and whispered, "Who belongs to your family?" She thought her voice was low enough that he wouldn't hear it.

But he immediately answered, "You belong to my family."

She felt that his skin was getting thicker and thicker.I wanted to stare at him, but I noticed his thin face again, so I said, "I must have not had a good rest after traveling for five or six days. Do you want to go back to your room to catch up on sleep?"

Her concern for the subtleties made him feel warm.Running around is the next best thing, because he is used to it.But recently there are too many things, his mind is heavy, and there are many things to think about, so he is a little tired. "I'm not sleepy now, but I need to sleep after lunch. The business in Beijing has been settled, and we will start tomorrow."

The next day, Zhou Boyan and Qing Shu bid farewell to the young and old in Xiaozhuangzi, and continued their journey back home.The weather is getting colder and colder, and they try to avoid sleeping in the wild along the way.In order not to miss the lodging place, they would stop to lodging even though it was still early in the day.As a result, the itinerary will be slower.After [-] days of non-stop walking, I finally arrived at Jinyang City on the [-]th day of Dongyue (November in the lunar calendar).

When they arrived in Jinyang City, they naturally didn't need to stay in an inn, and there were three ready-made accommodations.One is the mansion of Chen Zhifu, the other is the mansion bought by Luofu in the capital city in Jinyang City, and the other is the mansion of Gu.This Gu's mansion is actually Zhou Boyan's mansion, but on the surface it is a local residence bought by a rich and powerful official surnamed Gu.

According to Zhou Boyan's opinion, Qingshu and the others should live in Gu's residence.The lovely Luo Xiaorong had a rare temper tantrum and insisted that everyone live in Luo Mansion.If Chen's mansion had any trust, they would probably pick up Qingshu and the others to live there.

Qing Shu is in a dilemma.But think about it, it's rare for Luo Xiaorong to be so persistent, how could she break his heart!So, she pinched his angry little face, "Okay, okay, you win."

Luo Xiaorong was pleasantly surprised, he thought his sister would not agree!He cheered happily, and shouted out the location of the Luo Mansion in Jinyang City to the outside of the carriage.

Steward Ding glanced at Zhou Boyan who was sitting upright on horseback.

"Go to Luo Mansion." Zhou Boyan, who was fully dressed to protect against the cold, said, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and took the lead in changing direction and heading east.

Seeing Guanshi Ding, he waved his hand, "Everyone follow, follow quickly."

About two quarters of an hour later, everyone entered the Luo Mansion.The housekeeper in the mansion brought a group of servants in and out to entertain the people who came from afar, without any ambiguity at all.

That night, Qing Shu and the others finally took a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and slept comfortably all night.No matter how good the inn is, there are always many inconveniences.Even though the VIP rooms in the inn had hot water for bathing, Qing Shu insisted on not taking a bath all the way, and did not let her younger brothers take a bath, and naturally the others did not take a bath either.

Qingshu is eager to return home, and she doesn't plan to stay in Jinyang City for too long.Therefore, after breakfast on the second day, the four siblings brought the gifts brought back from the capital and visited the Chen Mansion.Zhou Boyan had official duties, so he did not go to Chen's residence together.Today is not a holiday, Mr. Chen should be in the government office, so he went directly to the government office.

At noon, Chen's residence hosted a wedding feast for four Qingshu siblings.Zhou Boyan was also there, and he came directly from the government office with Chen Zhifu.

Chen Qiaojiang hadn't seen Qingyang and the others for two months.After the four boys got together, they played and fought in one place.Chen Qiaojiang's resentment still persisted, and he was still blaming them for not taking him to Beijing.But as soon as Qingyang and the others told him about the fun things they saw in the capital, he immediately forgave Qingyang and the others.

After staying in Jinyang City for two nights, everyone who had been away from home for more than two months went out of the city with the morning light on their faces.Everyone was eager to return home, wishing they could step into the mansion immediately and reunite with the men, women and children who stayed in the mansion.

The Red General also seemed to be homesick, neighing from time to time to run.If it hadn't been tied to the back of the carriage, it probably would have let go of its hooves and disappeared without a trace.

If riding on horseback, at a normal speed and at a constant speed, it will take about four hours (eight hours) from Jinyang City to Kangxi Town; if the horse gallops non-stop, it will take about three hours.

If you are traveling by horse-drawn carriage, you will not be able to reach your normal speed that day, and you must find a place to stay at night, which will take about a day and a half.

Qingshu's team consisted of those riding horses and carriages, as well as some servants who alternated on foot.Normally, it takes one and a half days to reach Kangxi Town.

But everyone was anxious and speeded up tacitly, hoping to reach Kangxi Town before the sun set and the town gate closed.The coachman cracked his whip from time to time, causing the horses pulling the cart to trot.Walking servants also use running.Fortunately, the family members can take turns to rest in the car, so no one complains of being tired, and everyone runs with great energy.
