Chapter 518: Fireworks Come Down to Yangzhou in March

At the beginning of February, mid-spring, the weather is warm and cold. The willow branches in winter have just sprouted tender yellow buds. The capital is shrouded in a hazy mist and rain, adding a bit of separation and sorrow.

In the main room of Jing'an Bo Mansion, Xie Xiaowan was busy packing her husband back and forth, while Yue'er helped her to help her. The two girls were walking back and forth, and the clothes were filled with two large boxes.

In early spring and early summer, the pair of twin maids teased the young master Xu Kang next to the small bed. This little guy is nearly one year old. Although he can't walk, he climbs very fast. If he is not careful, he can climb over the fence of the small bed and sneak onto the ground and crawl everywhere. He is a veritable little monkey.

It is probably because of the nutritional reasons. Xu Kang, a little guy, was not one year old and had four small front teeth. He was grabbing a piece of dried sweet potato and biting it. The saliva from the flowing out wet the bib.

Chuchun has a gentle and steady temperament, and he patiently stared at the young master gnawing on the dried sweet potatoes. As long as the latter stuffed the dried sweet potatoes into his mouth, she immediately reached out to stop the young master from choking. Babies at this age cannot swallow hard food, and gnawing on the dried sweet potatoes is just to make him sharpen his teeth. Well, this is what the master specifically told me. I have to grind my teeth every day. The meat-eating guys have to polish them since they were young.

Compared to my sister's early spring, early summer obviously does not have that patience. This girl sat bored beside the small bed, looking out of the house from time to time, her face flushed, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. To borrow a sentence from Yue'er: Spring is here, and this little hoof is thinking about spring!

There are many young servants in the Xu family, but the only one who can make Chuxia Sichun's little lord Sichun is the master Xu Jin. In fact, this little lord never conceals his intention to be an aunt, so it is almost impossible to announce it in public.

Chuxia is so excited now because her opportunity has come. The day after tomorrow the master will go out to Beijing to handle the work, and she and her sister Chuchun are ordered by the mistress to serve the master. Can Chuxia not be happy?

Originally, the one who accompanied the master should be Yue'er, the chief manager of the inner palace. However, Yue'er now has to assist her wife in managing the inner house and help take care of the young master. She couldn't get rid of her body, so the task of serving the master at the same time fell on the beginning of spring and early summer.

"Madam, the weather is about to get hotter. Don't you need to bring so many thick clothes?" Chu Xia couldn't help but ask questions when she saw Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er stuffing winter clothes into the box.

Yue'er rolled her eyes and scolded, "What do you know? This time I went to Nanzhili and Zhejiang to preside over Qingzhang's land. It can't be completed overnight. Last year, it took more than three months to get the land near Qingzhang's capital. The master probably had to go back to Beijing for a year and a half. I'd take more winter clothes to prepare for it, so as to save the time when the weather was cold."

Chu Xia spitted out her pink tongue and said cleverly, so she would not say anything else, so as not to be scolded again. The chief manager of Yue'er could not serve the master, so he was probably angry.

Sure enough, Yue'er pouted again and complained: "The emperor is really, he always sends the master to Beijing for work. Last year, the master went to Shandong for disaster relief for half a year before returning to Beijing. This time he went further. Is there no official under the emperor who can do business?"

Xie Xiaowan gave Yue'er a blank look and said, "How many things can we know about the officialdom? Since the emperor sent his husband to the Beijing office, he naturally had his reasons. So let's say less and bring your husband's big red sweat towel with you."

Yue'er agreed in a depressed manner, turned around and looked for a sweat towel in the closet.

Xie Xiaowan sighed inwardly. Her husband was sent out of Beijing to work again, so she naturally felt extremely reluctant to let go. What's more, this job not only offends people, but also takes a long time, which may take a year or even longer.

When Xie Xiaowan thought of separating her husband for a long time, she felt uncomfortable and was worried before she could part. Fortunately, her husband just went to preside over the land clearance, not to lead troops to fight, so she didn't have to worry about danger. It was because of this that Xie Xiaowan decided to let her follow and serve in early spring and early summer and take care of her husband's daily life and diet.

The girls in the room were busy, and the curtain was raised, and Xu Jin, wearing an official uniform, came in. As soon as he got home, his hair seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of white sugar, and there was a misty spring rain outside.

"The master is back home!" Chuxia suddenly started to bounce, and Chuchun also stood up and gave a blessing: "I have met the master."

Xu Jin nodded with a smile, bent down and leaned over and kissed his son, but the little guy didn't sell the bill. He slapped his little hand on his nose, turned around, and continued to grind his four small front teeth happily.

Early spring and early summer couldn't help but giggle with their mouths, and Yue'er couldn't help but mutter: "Madam, these two little hooves are so strong now."

Xie Xiaowan was a little funny. After getting off the official uniform for Xu Jin, she said softly: "My husband is back. Early spring and early summer, please tell the kitchen to prepare dinner!"

Chuchun Chuxia agreed and left the room. Xu Jin opened his hands to cooperate with his wife to change clothes, and said, "You guys are dealt with now, my husband is going to set off afterwards."

"Carry it early so you won't be lost in a hurry!" Xie Xiaowan gently wiped the water droplets on Xu Jin's hair.

Xu Jin felt warm, and put his hands on Xiaowan's slender waist and said apologetically: "My wife, my husband may be a year or two away from Beijing this time."

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but blushed her pretty face into her husband's arms, and said lightly: "My husband must take good care of himself, Kang'er and I are waiting for you to come back at home."

Xu Jin hugged Xiaowan's soft body hard and nodded, "I'll leave my home to you, and the guild will return to Beijing as soon as possible." After that, he lowered his head and looked for two cherry lips and printed them.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted up again, and a pair of beautiful women with beautiful beauty came in. It was Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang. When the two women saw the scene in front of them, they were both Xia Fei and hurriedly wanted to leave.

Xie Xiaowan was ashamed to bury her face in her husband's arms like a quail. Although she was already a mother, the little girl was still very tender. In fact, she was only less than nineteen years old this year. Xu Jin didn't care. Anyway, the room was full of her own women at this time, so what's the point of kissing her? She quickly called Ruyi and Jixiang.

The husband was about to leave Beijing and it took a long time to go home. The daughters Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were naturally very reluctant to leave. Therefore, after hearing that the husband had already returned to the house, he couldn't help but run to the main room. He just wanted to stay by his husband for a while, so when he heard his husband calling him, both women stopped and looked back.

Both women are very outstanding beauties, standing side by side at this time. When they look back suddenly, their beauty is indescribable. Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. If these three wives were placed in modern times, any of them would be better than those of the first-line female stars.

Of course, if I were in the modern era, I would probably not have such a blessing. No matter how rich I have, I would not be able to get three of them in a noble way, let alone be as harmonious as it is now.

"I have seen my husband, Sister Xiaowan!" Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang came over shyly, and Yingying gave a blessing.

Although Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang are older than Xie Xiaowan, in order to show respect for Xie Xiaowan's status as a wife, the two women usually call them sister Xiaowan, but Xie Xiaowan also calls them sisters. So everyone calls them sisters, which makes it a scene in the Xu Mansion.

Yue'er cleverly carried the little monkey Xu Kang out and left the space for the four of them.

Fei Ruyi looked at the big boxes on the ground, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red. She took out a sachet and tied it to Xu Jin's waist, and said softly: "Husband, mosquitoes are growing in the water towns of Jiangnan. This sachet has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. Husband remember to carry it with you!"

Xu Jinqing held Ruyi's tenderness and nodded, "Thank you Ruyi, I will!"

Fei Jixiang took out the pocket watch from his arms and hung it on Xu Jin's neck, and said softly: "Husband, please carry the pocket watch, so as to avoid missing the time in daily life!"

"Husband, it's okay to miss the time, don't miss the return date." Fei Ruyi said, her eyes were wet, and Xiaowan and Jixiang's two girls also had red eyes.

In the eyes of modern people, this may be a bit difficult to understand. It is only more than 2,000 miles from Beijing to Nanjing, which makes people cry? But don’t forget that it is the Ming Dynasty, where transportation and communication are seriously backward. Not to mention two thousand miles, it is difficult to meet even if you are two hundred miles away from home.

How many people have parted today and never meet again in their entire lives, so the ancients' sorrows of parting were particularly strong. Because of this, ancient poets wrote so many touching farewell poems.

The dream is in the fifth update of the building, and the love between the flowers is in the middle of the flowers is raining in February.

On the tenth day of the second month of the second year of Jiajing, in the hazy spring rain, Xu Jin bid farewell to his wife and children, led the imperial envoy out of the capital from Guangqumen and drove to Tongzhou Wharf. Five hundred soldiers arrived in Tongzhou a few days ago. Five hundred soldiers were going south to Zhejiang with Xu Jin to assist in clearing the land and being responsible for the safety of the imperial envoy.

According to the plan, the first stop for the imperial envoy was Yangzhou, and it was probably already March to arrive at the place.
