Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 292 Will
"Eh? Second brother is coming back?"

"That's right," Yuan Shi replied, "That's why your father woke up early in the morning."

Chunqiu glanced at her father in a daze, then turned to ask her mother about the contents of the letter, "Mother, why did the second brother come back? Did you say it in the letter?" It shouldn't be, Chunqiu thought to himself, she came from the capital a few days ago When I came back, I didn't hear my second brother mention that he was free recently. Chunqiu, who has always been big-hearted, completely ignored what Yang Chunming said when she came back that he would come back in a few days.

After listening to Chunqiu's words, Yuan Shi paused her fingers, then turned her head to look at Yang Weibo, and asked, "I'm so happy, please tell me quickly, what did Brother Ming say in the letter?"

Chunqiu was sweating, and her emotional mother didn't know the contents of her second brother's letter.

Facing the fiery gazes of the two of them, Yang Weibo backed away in fright, and finally didn't say anything, just took out the well-protected envelope from his arms.

"I didn't look at it carefully. I just asked Huzi to read the first two sentences. Knowing that Brother Ming was coming back, I ran out with the envelope..." Yang Weibo said at the end, unconsciously lowered his head, and held his hand tightly. Clutching the letter that had just been opened, her ears were red, Chunqiu knew her father was shy at a glance.

"Okay, bring it here and let me have a look." Yuan directly reached out and snatched the envelope from Yang Weibo's hand, took out the letter paper inside along the torn corner, and read the contents of the envelope at a glance. After that, the corners of Yuan's mouth rose, and finally he couldn't help laughing with his hands on his hips.

"Hahaha, as expected of my Yuan Zhifang's son, he is promising..."

Yang Weibo's father and daughter who were standing aside were surprised when they saw Yuan's appearance.

Chunqiu hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shi's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Mother, what are you doing? What did the second brother say in the letter?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shi stopped smiling, and although the corners of her mouth kept turning up, she lowered her head and glanced at the father and daughter, and asked, "Why? Do you want to know?"

Yang Weibo and Chunqiu Qi nodded together, staring at Yuan Shi with their big eager eyes.

Yuan's face was full of excitement, and she lowered her voice and said in the ears of the two, "Brother Ming said in the letter that he has obtained the Holy Majesty's will, and he will return to our Qingyang to take up his post in a few days."

"Really?"*2
Yang Wei, Bai Chunqiu and both were surprised.

"That's right, it's written clearly in the letter, and I've read it twice more on purpose." With a proud expression on her face, Yuan picked up the envelope in her hand and raised it, the corners of her mouth curled up even more than before.

"By the way, mother, did the second brother say where he is going to take office?" Thinking of the dozens of towns and cities in Qingyang, Chunqiu continued to ask.

"Eh?" Yuan Shi was taken aback by Chunqiu's question, and then picked up the letter in his hand to read it, searching back and forth several times, Yuan Shi shook his head regretfully, and replied to Chunqiu, "No, The letter said that he would return to Qingyang to take up his post in a few days, but the specific county of Qingyang was not mentioned in the letter, I'm afraid your second brother deliberately wanted to surprise us," Yuan said uncertainly.

Chunqiu nodded thoughtfully, and neither agreed nor denied her mother's point of view, but in Chunqiu's mind, she always felt that it was not easy for her second brother to come back to take office. As for the reason why it was not easy, she I really don't know...

Although the envelope did not specify where Yang Chunming would eventually go, she was still very happy to see her son turned into a high-ranking official. Since receiving the envelope, her mother must read a few Responding to her second brother's name, Chunqiu's ears were callused when she read it, and Chunqiu couldn't help but want to protest with her mother several times, but in the end, she was always pulled out by her father or Huzi with quick eyes and hands.

No one stopped her, and at the same time, no one spoke to her. After a few days of freshness, Yuan Shi looked forward to the day when her second brother would come back.

"Mother, the second elder brother came back to take office, so he can return to Linfang." Chunqiu saw her mother running to the door under the scorching sun again, and she had to remind her aloud.

"What do you know, little girl? Your second brother said in the letter that if time comes, he will definitely come back. Look at the sunny days these days, your second brother will definitely come back in time..." Yuan Shi pulled the corners of her mouth and analyzed incessantly, Chunqiu rolled her eyes helplessly after hearing this.

Her mother really has serious double standards. A few days ago, she complained about the hot weather and hoped for rain every day. As a result, since her second brother's letter, her mother now not only does not expect rain, but also hopes for sunny days. The hotter the weather, the happier she is. The reason, of course, is that Tianqing and her second brother can hurry.

She wasn't afraid that her second brother would suffer from heatstroke on the way back. Of course, these were Chunqiu's own opinions in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them out.

"By the way, is there enough ointment in the shop? If not enough, let the shopkeeper get it from the workshop"

"Enough is enough..."

A few more days passed, and in her mother's more and more expectant mood, her second brother finally came back.

Looking at the handsome young man in official uniform who was riding a steed and walking at the front of the team not far away, Chunqiu's eyes were a little moist.

Chunqiu was fairly calm, but her mother, Yuan Shi, burst into tears, and was finally helped into the Beauty Pavilion by Yang Chunming, who had dismounted from his horse.

Yang Chunming ordered the officers and soldiers who took office with him to wait here, and he himself entered the shop in official uniform.

"...Mum, Brother Ming, you're finally promising..." Yuan shi held Yang Chunming in her arms and couldn't stop crying, just saying these two sentences over and over again.

Most of Yang Chunming's official uniform was soaked by Yuan's tears, but fortunately, when he came back, two official uniforms were specially prepared for him for the convenience of changing and washing. It seems that he will have to change again in the afternoon. let's go.

Softly comforting Yuan Shi in his arms, Yang Chunming did not tell Yuan Shi that the place where he was going to take office was Yuan Shi's hometown - Pingchuan County.

The county that ruined dozens of Yuan's lives, he will definitely seek justice for his mother when he comes back this time.

Although Yuan Shi was agitated, she still prioritized things, and slowly calmed herself down. Yuan Shi lowered her head and picked up a handkerchief to wipe her red and swollen eyes, with a hoarse voice, "Brother Ming, are you going to be here soon? How many days will Fang stay to leave?"

"Well, I'll leave in the afternoon," Yang Chunming replied.

"Eh? So fast? Second brother, won't you stay a little longer?" Chunqiu on the side hastily added.

"No, it's a big deal to delay taking office. These days, the time wasted on the road is quite a lot." Yang Chunming shook his head. Since he finished speaking, neither of Yuan's mother and daughter answered.

"Then...be careful on this road." Yuan Shi bit her lips and teeth lightly, her eyes filled with endless worry and reluctance.

"Mother, Qiu'er, I will write to you when I get there," Yang Chunming replied.
