Chapter 827 Chapter 827 The eldest lady returns to the city(1/2)
The ship has already landed.
The sun was shining on this huge hull, casting a long shadow, covering almost half of the pier. Everyone on the pier raised their heads and looked at the haze brought by this giant, covering them.
Pei Yuanxiu and I stood on the sampan.
For some reason, when I saw this scene, I felt more and more heavy.
It seems... what I brought was really haze.
Pei Yuanxiu also kept looking down. For him, this land was unprecedented. After a while, he felt my loss and gently pinched my fingertips. I suddenly raised my head to look at him, and saw the corners of his eyes: "Is it okay?"
“…”
"Qingying?"
"..." I opened my mouth and said hoarsely for a long time: "It's okay."
When the boatman handles everything, we will also land.
The gathering of three rivers here is naturally a hub of water transportation. People come and go, ships come and go, and goods come and go. Just stand on the deck and take a look, you can see the excitement and prosperity here. In the midst of the noise, the attendants who accompanied them all walked down first and made a way on both sides. Pei Yuanxiu and me, followed by Su Su and several other maids, slowly got ashore.
The moment I stepped onto the dock from the moment the grille stepped onto the pier, my feet finally stepped on it, but I staggered slightly.
Pei Yuanxiu hurriedly grabbed my arm and looked at me nervously. I smiled faintly at him, but such a smile could not hide his face gradually becoming pale.
I turned to look at the pier. The roads here, the people here, and the mountains and rivers lingering in the faint mist in the distance. Everything is so familiar, but so far away, as if there are some things that have met each other in the past and have never changed.
I'm back after all.
I have appeared in a nightmare many times, and then sealed in this place in my heart. After escaping for more than ten years, I finally came back.
|
A carriage came to us, and Pei Yuanxiu led me over.
The carriage has no gorgeous decorations, but the carriage is very spacious and comfortable to be decorated. After all, it is still a long way from Fengjie to Chengdu. Pei Yuanxiu lifted up the curtain and just grabbed my hand to take me into the car. Suddenly, a strange movement behind him made me and his movements pause.
I turned around and felt that the crowds of people were quiet on the dock.
Someone is coming here.
Pei Yuanxiu also felt something, and still held my hand and stood by the carriage. Then he saw the people on the dock slowly retreating to both sides, and a group of people walked towards us.
It was a group of young men, each wearing a tight white gown, looking agile and strong; they were only thirty years old and had a handsome appearance. Such a group of people appeared on the docks where people were coming and going, which would naturally attract everyone's attention.
But what is even more surprising is that their steps are almost the same. The people in the front row took a step, and the people in the back row took a step forward, just stepping on the footprints left by the person in front. When they looked at it, they looked like countless phantoms of a person, making people unable to tell who was who for a while.
The servants behind us also looked at them. Although they didn't say anything, except Su Su, it was obvious that everyone else was shocked.
Pei Yuanxiu and I were still standing in the carriage until the people walked in front of me. Then everyone lifted the front and knelt down at me: "Greetings to Miss!"
Although there were many people on the pier, they didn't even breathe at this time.
They did not show off their pomp, did not arrange personnel at the dock in advance, and did not prohibit anyone from coming to the dock. However, as soon as these people appeared, everyone consciously retreated aside and did not dare to make any noise.
This is the status of the Yan family in Xichuan!
This is the Yan family!
At this moment, everyone's eyes looked at me.
I stood there numbly. The wind was not anxious, but it was enough to blow my clothes up. The wind penetrated my clothes, as if a cool hand was stroking my body, making me unconsciously cold all over.
After these people knelt down, they all lowered their heads, and none of them dared to look up again. I stood in front of them and said coldly: "Where is my daughter?"
"After the head of the family, I will come to greet the eldest lady and ask the eldest lady to get on the bus."
Dozens of people spoke at the same time, and no matter how stable the voice was, it was enough to arouse a thousand waves in everyone's hearts.
The quiet people on the pier were already staring at me in amazement.
"Where is my daughter?!"
"Please leave with a lady."
“…”
I couldn't speak the third sentence, and I had already seen a team of carriages coming.
There are about four or five carriages, both of which are spacious in front and behind, while the one in the middle is not only spacious, but also comfortable, and even exquisite. There are even fine carvings on the carriage. The curtains hanging on both sides are as light as clouds and smoke, dancing by the wind, making the whole carriage seem to be in the clouds and mist.
The dock here is for civilian use, and there are rough boatmen back and forth, with large boxes of goods, and the air is filled with the smell of water and fishy smell. However, the exquisite carriage that suddenly appears is like pearls emerging from rough sand, which makes people feel overwhelmed.
At this moment, what I felt was a chill that broke out from behind.
In any kind of dispatch, as long as there are many people dispatched, there will inevitably be a leader. I will definitely attack that person if I want to say and do whatever I want to do. But Yan Qingchen sent a team of exactly the same people and could not find the deacon. In this way, no one answered what I want to ask, and what I want to do would not affect them.
Pei Yuanxiu, who was standing next to me, also felt this and frowned slightly.
Although it was just a simple response, it had been suppressed!
Yan Qingchen, it is indeed Yan Qingchen.
I kept silent and didn't say anything, and these people were kneeling at my feet. No one looked up, and didn't even move.
Finally, Pei Yuanxiu spoke, and he said softly: "Qingying?"
Then I looked up and looked at him. After all, I didn't say anything and walked forward. Pei Yuanxiu saw that I was walking towards the carriage they brought, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed my hand two steps: "Qingying!"
I looked back at him and said calmly: "It's okay."
"Can--"
"He wants to see me faster than I want to find him."
Pei Yuanxiu's face darkened, as if he had understood something, and he didn't speak anymore. I had already had a calm face and continued to walk forward.
The people kneeling on the ground immediately stood up and retreated to both sides, and also drove a way for me, and then followed us; and when I walked towards the carriage step by step, I clearly saw the shocked and surprised eyes of the people around me, holding their breath, and did not dare to take a breath.
Only after hearing the crowd, someone lowered his voice and said, "That's the eldest lady of the Yan family!"
"It's her, it's really her!"
"Miss, why are you here? She isn't-"
"Shh!"
I subconsciously glanced over there, and with just one glance, everyone in my eyes lowered their heads, and I was cautious and did not dare to look at me.
I sighed softly, and I felt a little exhausted.
In the past, the feeling of depression that made people unable to breathe even came to my heart at this moment.
This is Xichuan.
This is the Yan family in Xichuan!
.
The carriage was driving fast on the mountain road.
The horse that pulls a cart is a thousand-mile horse that can travel long distances. Four horses pull a cart, so it is naturally effortless. In such a flying forward, days pass by day.
We drove very fast, but the journey was not hard. Yan Qingchen's arrangement was enough to allow me to enjoy good service on the way. There were stations in Xichuan, like all the official roads in the Central Plains. Every section of the road would remove tired horses and replace them with energetic horses. The station had already prepared a rest residence and delicacies for us, and after rest, we could get on the road quickly.
After passing the Fengjie area, the mountain road gradually became smoother and the carriages were moving faster.
Gradually, the rugged mountain road was replaced by a wide road. When I lifted the curtain and looked around, there were no longer rolling mountains, but a wide field with flat mountains.
Chengdu is right in front of you.
I have traveled a lot from north to south in all parts of the Central Plains, and those cities are bustling and bustling. However, no matter how prosperous the city is, it feels a bit cool and thin outside the main city. But here is different. Even before the main city has arrived, the surrounding area has gradually become lively, and some towns in the side areas also have their own prosperity.
Flood and drought follow people, and they don’t know how to get hungry.
The prosperity of this place can also be imagined.
Our last day of rest was in Changfeng Town. This place is called Changfeng, which means a year-round harvest. It is already a small town closest to the main city of Chengdu. When we arrived here, it was too late. Pei Yuanxiu and I both rested directly after dinner. Early the next morning, it was just dawn, so we got up to wash. When we walked out of the station, the people were already waiting by the carriage.
When I got on the carriage, my foot slid. Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything, and carefully helped me get onto the carriage.
After both of them sat down, the coachman outside asked, then raised his whip and drove forward.
The carriage was still calm.
As I walked along the way, I said less and less, and I almost stopped talking in the past two days. However, Pei Yuanxiu didn't mind at all and just sat with me quietly.
But today, I am the same as him, and I obviously can't calm down.
Even if I don’t say it, he will make a calculation by himself that we will enter the city today.
The carriage drove for a while, and the carriage became quieter. After he made a while, he reached out to lift the curtain and looked out. The carriage had already reached the entrance of the town. The pedestrians on both sides of the road also retreated when they saw our team of people.
At this moment, a flag plaque flashed past his eyes.
I could see at a glance that there was a huge word "iron" on the banner.
It's Tiejia Money House!
I suddenly felt a sudden thunderous heartbeat, and subconsciously reached out and stroked my chest. Pei Yuanxiu immediately turned his head to look at me and said softly: "What's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?"
"..." I couldn't speak for a moment, and just gently grabbed the collar of my chest.
He looked at me with a pale face, thinking that I was nervous because I was getting closer and closer to Chengdu and getting closer to Yan's house, so he moved over and hugged me gently, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, there is nothing to be afraid of."
To be continued...
