When the sky was bright, the misty morning mist turned into rain and fell one after another. There were many fewer people on the streets of the capital than usual.
Fan Jianglin was walking quickly wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. There was a commotion on the street as a group of carriages and horses rushed forward. Fan Jianglin came in a hurry and got out of the way. Even so, water splashed down on Fan Jianglin's clothes as the horses' hooves rushed forward.
A piece on the corner.
Fan Jianglin held his bamboo hat and looked up. Someone immediately noticed and looked over.
When their eyes met, Fan Jianglin's expression changed slightly.
Horses galloped by.
"Who is this? Why does it look like you are raising a family on this rainy day?"
"It seems that they are members of the Gao family. The Gao family is leaving the capital. A group of them have already left in the past few days."
"Did you really leave this time?"
"That's still false! Mr. Chen was keeping an eye on them personally and almost sent someone to escort them away."
People on the roadside pointed and commented.
Fan Jianglin looked up at the cars and horses going away, and saw one of them seemed to be looking back. Fan Jianglin lowered his gaze, pulled down his bamboo hat, and stepped forward.
"Is that Fan Jianglin who offered the arm bow just now?"
Gao Xiaoguan looked away and turned to ask the person beside him.
The people on the side looked back and nodded.
"That's him," he said.
"Is this kid still in the military prison?" Gao Xiaoguan said with a frown, "Why don't you kick him out? Don't let him cause trouble in such an important place."
"Don't worry, little officer, he has been in military supervision only for making weapons, and he can't get involved in other things." The entourage said, "My lord has been controlling him. After a while, the military craftsmen will learn his skills."
Once he is proficient, he can be dismissed. This guy has no ability in the first place, and all he has is just a skill taught by Mrs. Cheng."
Gao Xiaoguan nodded and stopped asking. He arrived at the city gate and urged his horse to go out. There were already many people seeing him off under the arbor that had been set up long ago.
Gao Xiaoguan got off his horse and helped Gao Lingbo off from a carriage behind him.
Everyone gathered around and said goodbye.
"Thank you all, I'm just sending my wife and dog as gifts today. Don't take it seriously." Gao Lingbo returned the gift with a smile.
These words made everyone stunned for a moment.
He won't leave?
However, everyone present reacted quickly and immediately started talking along the lines.
"We have to go on a rainy day. We shouldn't be in such a hurry."
"Yeah yeah."
Gao Lingbo twisted his beard and laughed.
"It has been more than 20 years since I left home. It's okay if I don't say I'm going back. If I say I'm going back, I can't help but feel like I'm going back." He said, "If my mother hadn't been ill and had to nurse for a few more days, I would have
He left immediately."
Listening to the jokes here, the high-ranking official was a little impatient to wait.
"Father, if it's raining, bring it here. We're on our way." He said, looking up at the sky, "It looks like it's going to rain even harder."
Gao Lingbo smiled and nodded.
"Be careful along the way," he said.
The high-ranking official nodded and got on his horse.
"Yes, young officials, be careful along the way." Someone thought of something and hurriedly said, "By the way, it's best not to pass through Qingyuan. I heard that there have been severe mountain bandits and horse bandits recently."
"The mountain bandits and horse bandits actually made such a big fuss? Do the government officials only have to work for a living?" Gao Xiaoguan said with a frown.
The people seeing him off couldn't help laughing.
"Forget it, I'm not an official anymore, why are you worrying so much?" Gao Xiaoguanren said with a snort, and handed over to his father again.
"Everyone has good intentions." Gao Lingbo said, "Be careful when traveling."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, safety is the first priority." Everyone said.
The high-ranking officials raised their hands and saluted everyone, then got on their horses.
The cavalry drove away as everyone watched, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Gao Lingbo said goodbye to everyone and got into the carriage.
"...but are the bandits really causing trouble?"
"...I heard it is."
"Is this world going to be in chaos?"
"Hush, what nonsense are you talking about! At other times, it's just that the world is in chaos. Can you say it now? Who are you insinuating?"
Gao Lingbo lowered the car curtain to block out the whispers outside, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Go back." He said.
………………………………………………………………
"Gao Lingbo didn't leave?"
Chen Shao asked.
"Yes, all the belongings have been moved away, and all the family members are on the road. But he hasn't left yet, and he doesn't know what his plans are. He said that his mother will delay medical treatment and wait for some time before setting off.
"The staff said.
Chen Shao sneered.
"What are you planning to do? We still have to wait and see. We know he won't be willing to leave so easily," he said.
"Then what should we do? Who knows when his mother will be well." The staff member frowned and said, "We can't force him to leave under the banner of motherly filial piety."
"It doesn't matter, at least he will never be able to enter the court. He has made a gesture of leaving, and things will not be as easy as before." Chen Shao said, and sneered, "I use my mother's body to make spells all day long, and I am not afraid of suffering.
retribution."
The room was quiet when he stopped talking, but the sound of rain outside was extremely loud.
"It's raining heavily."
Mr. Zhang stood in the corridor and said.
"A layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness."
"Master, put on some clothes." The girl said from behind, throwing a cloak over her.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded.
The girl also looked at the falling rain.
"I wonder if the lady has escaped from the rain." She said, her voice choked with sobs.
Old Mrs. Zhang laughed.
"You are so worried," he said.
The girl looked a little angry.
"Old Master." She stamped her feet and said, "My wife left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to send her off. I don't know if we will see each other again..."
As he spoke, he covered his face and cried again.
This time, Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything joking or sarcastic like in the past. The girl cried a few times and couldn't help but put down her sleeves and look over.
Mr. Zhang looked at the heavy rain in the courtyard, his expression as solemn and heavy as the sky.
The girl's heart skipped a beat, and her anxiety instantly disappeared from her heart.
……………………………………………
On the official road, a group of people were trekking hard in the rain. Even though they were wearing ponchos and hats, their clothes were still wet.
The ceremonial plaques and flags had already been put away, and the team looked a little embarrassed.
"No, it's raining harder and harder, and it seems like it won't stop until dark." Banqin lifted the car curtain and said anxiously, "Then we won't be able to make it to the inn ahead."
Su Xin also poked her head in to see it.
"It's better to rest at the last place," she said, "but she said she wanted to rush to the next one, but it turned out that now it's better. There is no place to go before and no place to go."
She was slightly startled when she said this, and looked up at the sky.
The clouds are thick and the rain is like lines.
"That's not right." She couldn't help but say, turning to look at Banqin, "Madam, didn't you know it would rain?"
Banqin was also stunned.
Apart from God, their wives probably know best whether it will rain or not.
But what happened this time...
The rain poured down heavily on the carriage.
Cheng Jiaoniang watched as the book in her hand was taken away, a trace of helplessness seemed to flash across her face.
"It's dark and you can't see clearly. Stop reading." Prince Jin'an said, "It's so boring to read all the time."
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him.
"Playing chess?" she asked.
The prince of Jin'an County shook his head hurriedly.
"It's hard to win at high places, so it doesn't make sense if you always win." He laughed.
"Then what do you want to do?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"Let's talk." Prince Jin'an said as he sat over, "It will take a long time to walk this way."
"Talk." Cheng Jiaoniang said, smiling, "I'm really not good at it."
Prince Jin'an laughed and reached out to poke her shoulder.
"You're not good at it yet?" he said with a smile, "Who made the emperor speechless? Who scolded Feng Lin out of the capital?"
Cheng Jiaoniang was tilted by his push.
"It's them." She said seriously.
"It's funniest when you talk like this." Prince Jin'an smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her over. "How could they think you were serious and scary when they saw you like this? They also said you were some kind of Yaksha Vajra."
Cheng Jiaoniang let him hold her.
"Did I ask you to send fireworks to the palace?" she asked.
Prince Jin'an put his head on her shoulder and nodded.
"Sent it away. I hope I can express my feelings to Brother Six on the wedding day," he said.
Until he left the capital, he still could not see the prince and did not enter the palace gate.
Li Family Fireworks sent some fireworks, saying they were going to be lit during the farewell, but they were stopped by Mr. Gu and other staff.
Leaving Beijing is not a glorious thing. It was easy for the Queen Mother to agree to leave. If she sets off fireworks to irritate anyone, she will be in trouble if she can't leave.
Cheng Jiaoniang said that they should be given to the palace. When the prince got married, fireworks were set off in the evening to celebrate the wedding. King Jin'an picked a few. It was absolutely impossible to send them to the prince, so he had someone give them to the queen.
"I wonder if it's better than the day we got married." He smiled.
Cheng Jiaoniang said nothing.
It was a bit depressing to talk about this topic. The prince's marriage was also the marriage of Dan Niang. The prince of Jin'an County was busy and cheered up.
"Cheng Fang, I don't know what the houses in Songping are like." He changed the subject and shook his head, "It's definitely not good. I'll have to re-open the door when the time comes. What kind of house do you like? Why don't you draw it on the road?
.”
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"No need," she said.
Prince Jin'an stretched out his hand to hold her hand, pinching her fingertips bit by bit.
"Then I'll do the painting. I've already thought of how to decorate my home," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang's hands were long and slender, and her nails were neatly manicured, undyed, and white. As he kneaded them, they glowed brightly and dimly in the dark carriage.
Prince Jin'an was a little absent-minded.
"...The place over there is different from Beijing, and it's also different from Jiangzhou. I'm sure you won't be used to it," he said.
"You'll get used to it over time," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Then are you used to me?" King Jin'an whispered, his lips almost touching her ear because he came closer to talk.
His hands gradually became stronger, no longer pinching her fingertips, but holding her whole hand.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned her head slightly and moved her ear away from his mouth.
"It's raining, so the carriage may not be able to keep going," she said.
Prince Jin'an was startled, then laughed, looking at the pair of bright eyes and red lips who turned around, he raised his hand and held her waist, pressing her towards him.
"Why not? Just let him go." He muttered, lowered his head and kissed her.
There was a loud knock on the carriage.
Prince Jin'an suddenly jumped up and hit the carriage, making a thud.
Eunuch Jing outside was startled.
"Your Highness?" he asked urgently.
"What?" came an angry voice from inside.
"It's getting dark, and we can't get past the inn ahead. The imperial army just came back from inquiries and found a ruined temple. Let's rest there for the night and wait until we set off tomorrow." Eunuch Jing hurriedly said loudly.
The car door was opened.
"How far is it?" Prince Jin'an frowned and asked, "Who went to see it?"
Eunuch Jing nodded. Although he thought Prince Jin'an's expression was a bit strange, he still answered first.
"It's not that far, two miles away. Your Highness, don't worry, our people have also seen it." He said in a low voice.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"Okay." He said.
The news spread that they could stay in front of them, and the speed of the people and horses accelerated, and the noise and rain came through the carriage.
It was dull inside the car.
"There is a place to stay ahead." Prince Jin'an said, a little embarrassed, "It's just like this on the road, it doesn't matter where you go."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"Yes." she said.
Well, it's not like she has never traveled before. They first met in the wilderness.
Prince Jin'an's ears turned red again.
"..I asked you why you carry so much stuff with you." He said, "It turns out that it all comes in handy."
"Yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the noise outside getting louder and the car shaking violently.
"What's wrong?" Prince Jin'an frowned and opened the car door and asked.
As soon as he stuck his head out, someone suddenly blocked him and pushed him back.
"Your Highness, it's not good, there is an ambush ahead."
