Only half of the setting sun remained, and the miserable afterglow stretched the reflection of the ship very long.
Cen Yunchu stood on the shore, wearing a curtain hat on his head and lifting his veil, saying goodbye to Ke Wangchen.
"It's been a smooth journey, and there will be as little delay as possible. There will be some time when you are out, and my mother will miss you at home. I will put all the things I brought you in this box and ask them to carry them on the boat later!" Ke Wangchen is her mother-in-law.
Half-brothers, the two got along very well although their relationship was brief.
Now Ke Wangchen was going back to southern Sichuan. He sent her a letter, and Cen Yunchu came to see her off.
"They say you don't have to come, and your family doesn't know there is a person like me, so don't let others misunderstand me." Ke Wangchen had a smile on his lips, he always had such a cynical look.
"It doesn't matter," Cen Yunchuhun didn't care, "I haven't been able to entertain you for so many days since you've been in the capital. I can only come here to see you off. I'm really sorry."
Ke Wangchen chuckled and said: "Your reputation has just been turned around, so don't let others get into trouble because of me. What's the big deal whether you entertain or not? As long as you live well, my mother and I will feel at ease."
"Say hello to my mother for me, I wrote her a letter." Cen Yunchu no longer remembers his mother's face, and she didn't remember anything when Dai Mingzhi left the Cen family.
"Isn't your wedding date already set? Before you get married, my mother and I will definitely come to Beijing to see you." Although Ke Wangchen is young, he is a sensible and well-educated person. Cen Yunchu is his sister, but he is more
Willing to take care of her like a brother.
"Well, remember to write to me in advance." Cen Yunchu smiled knowingly, as charming as the evening breeze.
Ke Wangchen looked at the sky and urged: "It's getting late. It's time for me to set off. You should go back to the city too!"
"Take care of yourself, remember to write to me when you get here." Cen Yunchu turned around and took a food box from Fulan's hand and handed it to Ke Wangchen, "There are wine and vegetables here. Today is sixteen. When the moon rises from Dongshan, the boat will sail on the water.
, you can pour it yourself and drink it without losing elegance and fun.”
"Excellent! In the end, the cups and plates were in a mess, I fell asleep drunk, and when I woke up it was the next day." Ke Wangchen laughed heartily, with a youthful spirit, which was pleasing to the eye.
"It's a thousand miles away, and the journey is safe." Cen Yunchu felt quite reluctant to give up, but he didn't want to feel sad.
"Don't worry, if someone bullies you these days when I'm not in the capital, just write down the name and give it to me." Ke Wangchen said, "I'll deal with it when I come to the capital."
"I reported my small grudges right then and there. Don't forget, I'm not a fuel-efficient person either." Cen Yunchu sighed, "Go on the boat and I'll watch you go."
Cen Yunchu stood at the ferry, watching the boat go away, then got back into the carriage and hurried back to the city.
The sky is long now, even if the sun sets, it will still be dark for a while.
On the way to the city, there was an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses, and many people wanted to rush into the city before dark.
When we were still more than ten miles away from the city gate, we suddenly caught up with a group of people from behind.
They were all riding tall horses, carrying slingshots and nets, blowpipes and bows and arrows. They were obviously going hunting in the countryside.
The coachman of the Cen family carefully moved the carriage to one side. These people looked like they were the descendants of the flying eagle's lackey family. They returned to the city at this time, and they looked like they were running rampant. Most of them were drunk.
"That seems to be the Cen family's carriage. Sir, you haven't seen the young lady from his family, have you? That's really a famous flower." Someone recognized Cen Yunchu's carriage and said to the leader who was riding a Dawan horse.
"Let's forget it! Although this Cen family member is beautiful, he has a very fierce temper." Some people don't want to cause trouble, "Besides, they are already engaged."
"So what if we are engaged? We just took a look and said a few words to her." Some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, "To be honest, I have only seen her from a distance and haven't taken a closer look.
Ah! They say she is the most beautiful woman in the capital, how about comparing her with the young master’s newly adopted Rong family?"
The man at the head was the concubine of King Dongjiang, named Yao Biao. He was a rough-and-tumble man, but he was also lustful.
King Dongjiang was relatively popular in the previous dynasty, but since the new emperor came to the throne, he has only held a false position.
Yao Biao was away from the capital for half of the year. He preferred to indulge in pleasures and was bound to be restrained under the emperor's feet. He only returned to the capital every now and then.
It was also because of this that he didn't know that there was such a great beauty as Cen Yunchu, otherwise he would have gotten along with her a long time ago.
"Stop the carriage, I want to see her beauty." Yao Biao said elegantly.
After receiving his instructions, his men rode over and intercepted Cen Yunchu's carriage.
"Is this Miss Cen sitting in the car?" Yao Biao slowly got off the horse, walked to the front of the car, and acted polite.
"In broad daylight, on the official road, I actually intercepted Miss Hou's carriage and horses. It's really annoying." Fu Lan and Linxi got out of the car and stood side by side in front of the car.
"Oh, look at the pretty little looks of these two maids, her master must be stunning." Yao Biao clapped his hands drunkenly, "If we can't meet each other, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
Fulan Linxi was horrified. There were twenty or thirty people including these people and their servants, and they surrounded their carriage.
Although there were pedestrians on the road, it could be seen that they stayed away from this formation and did not want to cause trouble.
"Get out of the way quickly, we have to rush back to the city!" Linxi tried his best to stay calm.
"I said I just wanted to invite your young lady to meet him. What's the big deal?" The man who had previously encouraged Yao Biao to stop Cen Yunchu became impatient.
He is Xue Liantao, the young master of the Xue family of Uncle Jingping. His sister Xue Shanshan is very close to Cui Mingzhu and others.
"Why do you want to see me?" Cen Yunchu said in the car, "If I don't want to see you, am I still trying to force each other?"
As soon as her voice came out, Yao Biao and the others immediately froze, and their hearts were as scratchy as a cat.
"Miss Cen's golden body, of course we don't dare to compete with each other. But..." Xue Liantao laughed twice and said, "We are tired from the journey, so we just want to rest here. Isn't this illegal?"
What he meant was that if Cen Yunchu refused to show up, they would keep surrounding the carriage and prevent her from entering the city.
"You are all descendants of aristocratic families, and yet you behave like this, bully the weak with the strong, bully the weak with the masses, and do so in such a high-sounding way, it is really chilling." Cen Yunchu got out of the carriage.
She wore a valance on her head and a veil that covered her head tightly.
Even so, his outstanding appearance is enough to make everyone stare straight at him.
"Miss Cen's pair of jade hands are worth tens of thousands of gold!" Yao Biao couldn't help but swallowed hard when he saw Cen Yun's slender jade hands exposed for the first time, as soft as boneless, beating the frost against the snow, "Please take pity on me, miss, and lift up the veil.
Let me see her beauty next time."
"It's also convenient for me to take revenge if you name me." Cen Yunchu said coldly, "But let's be honest, if anyone looks at my face today, they will be my lifelong enemy. Do you still want to look at me?"
She was now at a disadvantage, and even if the other party did not do any further indecency, it would still be enough to humiliate her.
With Cen Yunchu's innocent and noble character, how could he be willing to be humiliated?
"As long as the girl can remember, I don't care whether it's a grudge or a favor?" Yao Biao smiled playfully.
How can a young and beautiful girl be so powerful?
