Deng Ming waited outside Zhaode Gate for a long time before he saw his father coming out.
The second son of Duke Wei was very attentive and noticed that his father's eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Deng Ming hurried forward to greet him and put his coat on Deng Yu's shoulders.
"Let's talk about it after we get in the car." Deng Yu said in a deep voice, then lowered his head and moved forward silently, as if he was thinking about something.
After leaving the right gate of Chang'an, I saw only my carriage waiting there alone.
Deng Ming helped Deng Yu get into the car and followed suit.
The car door is closed tightly and moves forward slowly.
Deng Yufang exhaled a long breath and said: "When we go back, we will remove the sentry outside your eldest sister's building, as well as the mother-in-law inside the building."
"Dad, then my sister has to run out." Deng Ming couldn't help shouting: "The day after tomorrow is the Holy Birthday Festival, what if at this moment..."
"It's because the day after tomorrow is the Holy Shou Festival, so you evacuated it for me when you got back!" Deng Yu suddenly looked ferocious. The evil spirit soaked in the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses made Deng Ming unable to breathe.
"Yes, Dad." Deng Ming agreed quickly and couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"Then you go to Jiangyin immediately and bring a message to Marquis Jinghai for me." Deng Yu gave another order: "Ask him to help send two people to Goryeo..."
"Yes." Deng Ming looked serious. Putting the two things together, he already knew what was about to happen.
"Father, are you asking for eldest sister..." Deng Ming endured it again and again, but still couldn't help asking.
"Shut up, from today on, you don't have a eldest sister!" Deng Yu shouted sternly.
"Dad..." Deng Ming trembled, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Instead of talking nonsense here, you might as well think of a way to tidy her up a little more!" Deng Yu sighed again, feeling that he had never been this sad after fighting for half his life.
He looked at the bewildered second son and said in a slower tone: "If you are really good for your eldest sister, you must never let her notice it. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Deng Ming nodded as if he understood.
"Go." Deng Yu closed his eyes tiredly.
~~
At night, Caijia Alley.
Cousin Cao was drinking happily alone with a pot of wine and four dishes.
In the past few days, he has not slept well. He always has nightmares when he falls asleep. He dreams that after he eloped with his cousin, he was caught by the emperor, skinned, carried grass, and sat on a wooden donkey...
Every nightmare has the same beginning, but always culminates in a different death, and ends with waking up.
It wasn't until today that he heard that Duke Wei Guo had added a sentry post to the eldest lady's embroidery building, so he didn't feel so panicked anymore.
Cao Huan secretly rejoiced, it seems she was discovered by her uncle's house, and now she can't get out, so don't blame yourself, right?
Doesn't that mean that not only do you not have to take her to elope, you don't even have to run away yourself?
Feeling relieved, Cousin Cao was ready to drink two cups and then have a good sleep.
While he was humming a little tune and drinking happily, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Young Master, the eldest lady is here."
"What?" Cousin Cao was stunned and almost swallowed the wine cup. "How is that possible?!"
"Why is it impossible?" The door opened suddenly, and Miss Deng rushed in excitedly carrying a baggage on her back.
"Cousin, are you surprised or surprised?" She slammed the bundle on the table.
"What a surprise, what a surprise..." Cao Huan swallowed hard. "Didn't I say that you were put under house arrest by my uncle? It's true that my uncle..."
Why don't you lock her up properly and let her escape?!
"Haha, they imprisoned me. But my aunt is so powerful that she allowed me to escape again." Miss Deng said as she unpacked the bag, which was full of golden jewelry and sparkling jewelry.
"You also let me steal a lot of money. Is this money enough for us to buy a house and land?"
"Enough, enough." Cao Huan was almost blinded by the shock, and her mind was filled with questions. How did she do it?
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. It is that the group of people she hired are really powerful...
Of course Cousin Deng, a woman who loves to show off her strength and is full of vanity, would not tell him that in the afternoon, those who were guarding her suddenly withdrew on their own.
Then Deng Ming brought over several boxes of jewelry and said that her father asked her to choose one pair to wear when entering the palace, and kept the rest as a dowry.
Miss Deng was originally simple-minded, so she was so happy that she fainted. As soon as her second brother left, she immediately collected a batch of valuable jewelry, plus her original ones, and packed it in a pocket with a tablecloth.
burden.
She couldn't carry it anymore, so she put it down quite a bit...
Then she knocked out the maid, tied her up, stripped her clothes and gagged her, and put it in the closet. She wore the maid's dress and a conical hat that covered her face, and slipped away quietly while it was getting dark early.
Exited the Duke Wei's Mansion.
After coming out, she called a carriage and went straight to Caijia Lane to find her cousin.
~~
"Cousin, we have to leave quickly." Miss Deng urged anxiously: "Otherwise, when my father and the others find out at dawn, we won't be able to leave!"
"Don't worry, there's still time." My cousin came back to his senses, opened the closet as if resigned to his fate, took out a baggage and said, "I've already found the boat. Let's go directly to Jiangmen East to find the boatman."
That baggage was something he brought with him when he fled that day, and he hasn't opened it since he came back, so it would save him trouble now.
"My cousin is so reliable." Miss Deng was so happy that she hugged Cao Huan's neck and kissed her hard several times.
Only then did she feel completely relieved. In fact, before, she had been worried that her cousin would be unwilling to elope with her.
Unexpectedly, my cousin had already prepared everything silently. Is this the legendary Mensao?
Without any explanation, Miss Deng took her cousin's arm and went out happily.
The carriage she hired when she arrived was still waiting outside the door. After the two got in the carriage, they drove slowly towards Jiangdong Gate.
Arriving at Jiangdongmen Pier, Cao Huan found the boat he had booked without much effort.
Now is the time of peace, and the outer city gate is not closed at night. For the sake of double the boat fare, the boat owner sailed the boat overnight and slowly left the dock.
[Note: ‘For double the shipping fare’, it is a tongue twister. You can try it and see whether you will succeed more or fail more]
By daybreak, the boat was already on the Yangtze River.
Looking at the spectacular sight of fish leaping across the river and birds flying high into the sky, Miss Deng, who successfully escaped from the cage, jumped up and down with her lover in her arms, as happy as a kangaroo.
"It's like God's help!" When she was tired from dancing, she snuggled on her cousin's shoulder and murmured: "Every time comes, heaven and earth work together. It seems God is blessing us both."
Speaking of which, she secretly tasted the forbidden fruit with her cousin when she was fifteen years old, and in the five years now, she has not had a second man. She also got pregnant for him, had an abortion, shed tears of lovesickness, and fought hard with her family.
She is only nineteen years old this year. In fact, she is just a little girl who has been carried away by love.
"Uh." Cao Huan nodded casually and looked at the direction in which Nanjing City disappeared, unwilling to look back for a long time.
People's joys and sorrows are not connected with each other, he only thinks she is noisy.
Once we go, we say farewell forever.
ps. I dare not say that I will write another chapter. Anyway, I will read it tomorrow morning. If it is there, it means that I have written it. If it is not, it means that I have fallen asleep...
