With such random thoughts, I slept in a daze. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that it was already bright. Shu Yao sat up all over, without caring about the soreness all over her body, and hurriedly called Liu's mother and Qiushuang:
"When is it? Why are you still sleeping? It's already bright outside!"
But Liu's mother had woken up long ago, afraid of clamoring Shu Yao, so she just lay down and didn't dare to move. She heard her panic shouting, and hurriedly got up and drove forward:
"Don't worry, it's not too late. Look, it's bright outside because it snowed heavily last night, so it was a little brighter outside." Turning back, poured her a glass of water, and then said:
"It was so heavy snow last night, so I must not be able to rush to the road early this morning. Please sleep for a while, and I will go out to see what the second master arranged." As he said that, he pressed her hand and put on his clothes.
Push the door out.
Shu Yao took a sip of hot water, and was so worried that she couldn't sleep anymore. She asked Qiushuang to serve her clothes, wash and comb her hair.
Before she finished cleaning up, Liu's mother came back, and her face turned obviously collapsed. Shu Yao's heart skipped a beat and knew something was wrong. She asked Liu's mother with her eyes. Liu's mother stepped forward and said softly:
"The eldest son-in-law is gone..."
No? Shu Yao's heart sank, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton. Qiu Shuang, who was standing beside him, became obviously panicked, holding the comb in his hand and didn't know what to do. Shu Yao reached out to hold Liu's mother's
Hand asked:
"How did you know? Where did the news come from, but should you take it seriously?"
Mother Liu held her tightly with her backhand and said:
"It really can't be true anymore! Who did you tell us the room last night? It was the general of Zhenguo, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, who was personally appointed by the government! Who is this general of Zhenguo? It was originally Lao Maoguo
The ninth son of the duke, our eldest son-in-law's uncle, the ninth uncle! The second master said that last night, the general asked someone to ask him to speak, and that's what he said."
Shu Yao was silent. It turned out that the man had such a high official title. No wonder he had such a strong aura with such an identity. He just looked very young, but he was his sister's uncle! But he couldn't care about this for the time being, the important thing was
My brother-in-law's affairs. After thinking about it, he asked again:
"When did my brother-in-law's affairs come out? Is it gone? Or has it been a few days?"
Mother Liu looked at Shu Yao's expression. Seeing that she was not panicked at all, she felt relieved and said slowly:
"It must be gone. The general only received the news last night. I think the person who sent us the letter went wrong and didn't find us. The general knew our identity from the official secretary and told the second master.
This matter. The group of them left the station early in the morning. The general settled the second master and did not worry. He walked slowly. Things had already happened. It would be useless to arrive as soon as possible. The weather was bad. If something happened again, it would be even worse.
Now.”
Shu Yao nodded slowly, glanced at Qiu Shuang, who was at a loss and said:
"Why are you panic? I'm about to combed my hair and I'm about to rush my way."
Qiu Shuang responded calmly, but his subordinates were about to get up. He tied up a simple bun, Shu Yao picked up a silver hairpin and inserted it on the bun, and picked up a clean clothes to put it on. After finishing the pack, a postman knocked on him.
Breakfast is delivered to the door.
After using it in a hurry, there was already a noise outside. Soon, Li Cunyi sent the servant to find Liu's mother and said that he would go out if he was ready.
The blue cloak covered Shu Yao tightly, and Liu's mother helped her get onto the carriage. Before stepping into the carriage, she looked in the direction of the stable. Compared to last night, there were indeed many fewer horses.
After waiting for a while, Liu's mother and Qiushuang packed all their luggage and everything, and the convoy set off.
This place is not far from the capital. If it is on weekdays, it will take half a day to arrive. If you put it on this snowy day, you will still have to walk for a whole day.
Thick snow pressed under the wheels and made a creaking sound. It was difficult for the people who were helping the car to leave, and the people who were sitting in the car to get nowhere to go. Because the snow covered the road, it was impossible to see the ruts clearly, the wheels sometimes
It slips, and sometimes it falls into a deep rut with a thump.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressed, and the three of them were so upside down that no one spoke. Even if the general told Li Cunyi to slow down his journey, when encountering such a thing, who could calm down? Unconsciously, he wanted to speed up his mind.
Hurry up.
Shu Yao thought about her elder sister in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her sister was pitiful. When her mother passed away, her sister had just turned thirteen years old and thirteen years old. Other people's girls were spoiled by the family as children, but her sister began to take on them.
The elder sister is like the mother's responsibility. The little man hugged her and her younger brother, wiped the tears for them and gently patted their backs.
My sister's marriage was decided early when my mother was alive. The wife of Wuyang Hou was a matchmaker and was looking for the eldest son of the Duke of Maoguo's mansion. Speaking of which, my sister is considered a high-married woman, from the Li family to the father's generation.
Being an official is considered the highest, but he is just a fifth-rank official. The Duke of Mao is a real first-class official. Even if he married a concubine's son, he still has a eldest son.
Outsiders say that my sister is married well, but Shu Yao has always had a slight worry in her heart. Until now, she has never seen her brother-in-law once. She doesn't know what kind of person he is. She didn't expect that this meeting was for him.
Saying the Mourning... What is the situation in the Duke of Mao’s Mansion now?
Poor sister, I have only married for a year, how can I live my long life in the future...
