Chapter 316: Riding alone for a thousand miles(1/2)
"Um……"
Wu Hongwen glanced at his daughter, and it was really a father and daughter who was in love. He felt something was wrong with his daughter, but he didn't know something was wrong. He thought about it and asked his daughter.
"You... are you fine?"
Wu Xinan nodded with a smile, but raised her hand in a habit. Suddenly she remembered something, changed to stroking, and gently touched her stomach and responded.
"Everything is OK, Father... don't worry!"
At the end, his eyes wet, and he quickly lowered his head and said,
"Father, the weather is getting hotter. You should take care of yourself when you work in the yamen. If it is too hot, let Chenggui buy some ice outside. Don't save money!"
When I was an official in Daqing, I enjoyed my happiness and suffered. It was like in this summer, the government was as hot as a steamer, but the ice cubes sent from the top were pitiful. After most of the people above used it, the people below could use it even less. When it was midsummer, many people would get caught in the heat during the work, and even go home to rest.
Wu Hongwen was concerned about his daughter and felt at ease, so he nodded,
"I know what I know in my heart for my father!"
After the father and daughter finished talking, Wu Xinan had dinner at her mother's house that day and returned to the Beizhen Fushi. However, on the second day, she got up and told the girls,
"I want to go back to Qingyun Temple, you guys have packed my clothes..."
Everyone did not doubt that he was there. After packing up their clothes, Wu Xinan took most of the silver notes at home with him. Guan's mother asked,
"How come the young lady brings so much money out? But if there is something big to do?"
Wu Xinan responded,
"The renovation of Master's Qingyun Temple has not been completed, and I still need money. I'll bring it to him!"
Guan’s mother did not raise any doubts and wanted to put it in a silver box for her, but Wu Xinan said,
"Hide it in my clothes for easy carrying!"
Guan’s mother did as she said, and waited until she was cleaned up, but Wu Xinan got on the carriage. Guan’s mother said a little worriedly,
"Your body is getting heavier and more difficult to move, so why don't you go with me!"
Wu Xinan shook her head,
"There are all men in the temple. I am a disciple whom my master has taken the door. There is no need to avoid suspicion. If my mother goes there, it will be inconvenient!"
"But……"
Mother Guan wanted to say something else, but Wu Xinan waved her hand,
"It's okay, I'll stay there for two months at most, and then go back to the city to wait for delivery. Mom, don't worry... I've always been strong and there's nothing wrong with it!"
Wu Xinan is the truth. She has a good foundation and is young. Although she has a big belly, she is flexible and has agile movements. She is even lighter than ordinary people and does not need anyone to serve her at all.
When Guan’s mother heard that she lived for two months, she had already calculated the day and nodded,
"Then... you can take care of yourself!"
Wu Xinan nodded and ordered Wang Yong and Qian Feng in front of him.
"Let's go!"
The two responded and drove out of the city, but when they passed by the carriages near the city gate, Wu Xinan called to stop.
"Wait for me here, I'll go in and ask them to send a letter..."
Among the two, Qian Feng replied,
"Madam, don't have to get off the bus, just let the younger one go and deliver the letter!"
Wu Xinan responded,
"I have something to remind the sender to do it in person. You should wait outside!"
The two had to take the order to wait here, but they didn't expect that Wu Xinan had not turned around for a long time. Wang Yong felt a little upset and said secretly,
"The young lady's letters were sent out by borrowing the messenger from the Jinyiwei. When did she ask the carriage and horse store? Why did she go to the carriage and horse store to ask for a letter today?"
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Finally, I couldn't help but jump out of the carriage and rushed in. Seeing this, Qian Feng got out of the carriage and hurriedly followed him. The two of them went in and asked.
"Did you see a pregnant lady coming in?"
Some people shook their heads, but some responded,
"Are you talking about a lady in a yellow shirt?"
"That's right, exactly, where is she?"
The man pointed to the back door,
"That lady left through the back door!"
"Left through the back door...how long have you been walking?"
"I've already left the kung fu!"
The two rushed to the back door and looked around. But there was no sign of Wu Xinan on the street with crowds of people. They hurried back and asked,
"Which direction did that lady go?"
Someone pointed to the north,
"Going over there..."
The two looked at each other with confusion, Wang Yong said,
"Let's chase after you!"
The carriage responded,
"If you want to chase, go chase. Which lady bought a fast horse, which was riding out of the door..."
The two were shocked when they heard this.
"She... rode out of the door..."
She...she is still wearing a big belly!
The two of them did not hesitate and turned around and ran towards the gate, caught up with their own carriage, and chased them in the direction pointed by the people who were in the carriage.
After they left, Wu Xinan flashed out from the side, handed a ingot of silver to the speaker, and took out another letter.
"You have collected the money. If they come back and ask, you will hand over the letter to them..."
The man nodded after collecting the silver
"yes!"
Wu Xinan nodded and turned around and left. The man glanced at her belly with some concern and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Madam, you...you are pregnant now. Even if your family is not good, you are not good enough for you to be alone outside..."
Wu Xinan looked back at him and smiled,
"My family is all very good, but... my husband is thousands of miles away. I... am going to find him!"
Wu Xinan knew that when he came out, his family must have come out to find him, but he was not in a hurry to leave the city. He searched for an inn opposite the carriage and horse carriage. The window on the second floor was facing the door of the carriage and horse carriage. As expected, before dark, Jin Baliang and Liu Chongjiu found the carriage and horse carriage, and the carriage and horse carriage handed the letter to the two of them.
Both of them looked at each other speechlessly after reading the letter. Jin Baliang was so angry that he stomped his feet and said,
"This stinky girl is more sensible than a wheel on weekdays, so why is she smarter at this time!"
She saw the clues when the two of them looked strange, and they were secretly running to find Pei He, Liu Chongjiu,
"If she wants to leave Beijing, she must take a boat. Let's send someone to Tongzhou to intercept her!"
Jin Baliang nodded,
"Use the Jinyiwei's waist card and go out of the city to chase..."
The two hurried back to the North Town Fushi. Wu Xinan watched them leave in a hurry, quietly closed the window, turned around and lay back on the bed. In the darkness, she widened her eyes and looked at Chengchen on the top of the bed, reached out and gently stroked her stomach.
"Good boy, let's go find your father, and everything will be fine when we find him!"
She didn't want to go alone, but as long as she brought someone around her, the whole family would know, and no one would want her to go!
But Pei He is in trouble, how can she live in peace in Beijing? Instead of thinking about it at home, it is better to kiss there to search, as for the children in her belly!
"Good boy, it's my mother who's sorry for you!"
She is also really bold. She has been going on alone for nearly six months!
Wu Xinan stayed in this inn for three days, and then she slowly took a carriage and went out of the city to Tongzhou. She had silver in her hand and was unwilling to squeeze into the merchant ship with others, so she planned to pay a bank to carry a boat south by herself. She only looked at the dock and saw that many of the parked boats were dilapidated and short. She was not afraid of being wronged by the children in her belly.
Turning his head and looking at a wide, large and stable official ship, he went up to ask the manager standing on the dock and staring at the loading goods.
"Dare you ask this manager, this boat is heading south, maybe someone can take it?"
Although it is an official ship, as long as the owner allows, he can still pay for money. In the past, when they came to the capital from Hangzhou, someone came to ask that this type of person usually pays for money to make the official ship stable, while the owner wants to have a silver subsidy, but they are willing to get what they need.
The manager looked at her and saw that it was a young woman who was pregnant. He thought about it and responded.
"Our ship is from Songjiang Mansion. Please wait a moment, I've asked our owner..."
"Thank you!"
Wu Xin has a blessing in peace,
