Chapter 192 Departure
Chapter 192 Departure
The next day, I spent the whole day warming up the wine and really got enough rest. I ate and slept.
"Where is the Crown Prince's Consort?" Xiao Jue asked
"The Crown Princess has already gone to bed," Xuan Ling replied
"Have you slept all day?" He went out to do some work in the morning, and she went back to sleep. She was still sleeping all day, and it was almost time for dinner.
"Oh, Miss, uh, the Crown Princess eats when she wakes up, and then goes to sleep after eating."
"Still angry?"
"Angry? The Crown Prince's wife said that we should get enough rest, otherwise we will have to work day and night when we get there." Xuan Ling replied
"Day and night? That won't work."
"Of course, when I used to go night hunting with my lady, we would take advantage of the animals' sleep and then we would act. All we have to do is get enough sleep," Xuan Ling said carelessly.
Xiao Jue felt uncomfortable. "She is already the Crown Prince's Consort. Why does she need to do everything herself?"
"We can't persuade her. Once the Crown Princess makes a decision, there is almost no room for maneuver." I'm going to make you angry, Miss. Humph, go ahead and feel guilty.
Xiao Jue went in and saw that she was still sleeping. He gently called her, "Get up and eat something before going back to sleep."
"I know" Wen Jiu has woken up, but he is too lazy to open his eyes
The housekeeper brought ginseng and bird's nest supplements, as well as the silver that the prince asked to prepare yesterday, "Princess, please take care of yourself when you go there."
"Okay, thank you for your care in the mansion," Wen Jiu replied with a smile
"This is what I am supposed to do. Princess, please enjoy your meal. I will leave now."
"go"
I drank the bird's nest slowly, ate something, and asked Xuanling and Baizhi if everything was ready.
The two replied that they were ready, so they went to rest early.
"Prince, don't forget to promise me. Just remember to tell Xuanxing when the time comes." Wenjiu said, walked out of the door and strolled around the yard. Then he went back to the house and asked Xuanxing to prepare hot water for bathing.
After washing, she lay down on the bed in one go and picked up her bag. This was the backpack she asked Qingli to design for her. It was small and exquisite when hung on her body. She naturally put the banknotes and silver into the space, leaving dozens of taels of silver in the small bag.
Xiao Jue frowned at her and said, "You've been sleeping all day and you still have time to sleep? I'll let Qinghu go with you and take care of them along the way." He didn't say anything to her because he knew that she had the ability to protect herself.
"Thank you, Prince."
"See if there's anything else you need, is there anything I've missed?" Xiao Jue asked awkwardly.
"That's all. I'm not angry anymore. You don't have to be so awkward. We are an alliance. I should be the one to apologize for overstepping my authority. If you have anything else to say, please help me take care of the General's Mansion and my brother. Thank you for your help." Wen Jiu said calmly.
"I..." I wanted to say something but it felt so pale, so I couldn't open my mouth.
There was no conversation that night. At 12:00 a.m., he woke up from the warm wine, packed his things quietly, and ran to the inner room to change into simple clothes.
"Did I wake you up? You can go to bed." Wen Jiu came out and saw Xiao Jue had already gotten up.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I'll take you there"
"No, just sleep a little longer."
Listening to the conversation, I felt like an old married couple. I shook my head as I warmed the wine. This idea was ridiculous.
Xiao Jue didn't listen to him. She rolled up the quilt on the floor and stuffed it into the cupboard. She also got up to wash up.
Bai Zhi knocked on the door gently. The lady had instructed us to prepare breakfast and bring it in.
"come in"
"I'll be done with washing up soon. I'll put the things on the table first. You guys put your things in the carriage and go eat something."
"Yes"
The aroma of meat porridge and steamed buns filled the whole house, which made Wen Jiu's appetite grow. He drank a full bowl of porridge and ate two big meat buns.
Xiao Jue also drank a bowl, ate a bun, and a fried dough stick. If I remember correctly, Xuan Ling said it was called this.
After eating, he wiped his mouth, stood up, picked up his small bag, turned around and said to Xiao Jue, "I'm leaving now. I'm sorry to bother you with this."
Xiao Jue followed her out without replying. Grandpa Xiao Wang got up and stood at the door ready to see him off.
"Father, take care of yourself. The wine is gone. Thank you for taking care of the mansion." How thoughtful. Remember to give me more money.
"Hey, be careful on the road, don't be stubborn, take a rest when you are tired, and remember to tell me if you have no money." What a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, what a good daughter-in-law, I need to give her more money.
"Xuanxing, take care of the yard. Don't forget what I told you to do. If you don't understand something, remember to ask the housekeeper."
"Yes, Princess, take care on your journey," the nanny said reluctantly.
Xuanxing nodded.
"Prince, please don't send us off. Let's all go back."
Don't you have anything to tell him? So many people are watching.
"I remember everything you said. Be safe and try not to stay up late if you can." Seeing that she was not ready to ask him, Xiao Jue took the initiative to speak.
"Okay" he said, and was helped by Xuan Ling to get on the carriage.
The breeze blew, the willow branches swayed, and the two carriages slowly moved towards the city gate. When they were out of sight, Xiao Jue withdrew his gaze, returned to Qing Garden, and lay down on the bed.
He didn't have to go to court now, so he had nothing to do, so he just lay on the bed. The quilt seemed to still have her scent, the fragrance of cold plums, unique...
When the carriage left the city gate, we saw several carriages waiting outside.
"Grandma and Grandpa, why are you all here?" Wen Jiu was a little surprised to see them. He told them not to see him off.
"Brother, why are you here too?"
"It's so familiar. I sent you off here last time when I went to Xiaoxiang. This time, it's the same..." Wen Xi looked at her guiltily.
"Brother, there will be no danger this time, don't worry, did you bring me food?" Wen Jiu asked
"Bring it with you, but you also have to be at ease. If there are mobs, remember to ensure your own safety." Wen Xi repeatedly reminded the precautions.
"I understand, brother. I will," Wen Jiu promised.
"Good girl, make sure you are safe on this trip. Don't get hurt or sick. Grandma will pray for you in the Buddhist temple every day." The old lady held her hand. She looked unhappy.
"I know, grandma. You must take care of yourself. I'll bring you some delicious food when Jiu'er comes back."
"Jiu'er, take care of yourself, your safety is the most important thing," the old general said simply.
"Yes"
"Jiu'er, I will take good care of everyone. Your eldest brother and second brother must take care of their own safety. Remember to bring me some delicious food. I'm waiting."
Next, it's the aunt, uncle, aunt, and uncle who take turns.
My aunt-in-law paid the banknotes directly. She always received money when she went on a long journey.
"There is another package that Coco left for you. She couldn't give it to you because her father urged her to go. So she went to the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and followed the caravan." Zhao handed Wen Jiu another package.
"Okay, it's getting late, so we'll go first. If your grandmother feels unwell, remember to ask the little doctor to come to your house." Wen Jiu reminded Su Jinxiu.
"Got it, housekeeper, have a safe trip," Su Jinxiu said with a smile
"Let's go back, it's time for us to set off," Su Jinyu asked Su Jinmu to open the door of the carriage and urged him.
"Well, go ahead," the old general helped the old lady to see her off.
The breeze sends you off, I hope everything goes well
