Chapter 17(1/2)
Early autumn morning.
The mist lingers in the mountain stream.
The gate of the Hou Mansion was open, and a team of thousands of people set out to head for the capital.
The three thousand guards of the Eastern Palace have grown up over the years, and the number of people has expanded to 4,000.
Yan Yunfei got married and took away five hundred guards and their families.
The remaining 3,500 people were left to protect Yan Yuntong.
The remaining two thousand people, led by Xiao, went to the capital.
This time, it's like moving.
Not only two thousand guards, but also the guards' families also followed him to the capital.
Mrs. Chen quietly muttered in Yan Shouzhan's ear, "Look at this madam, is she going to go all the time?"
Yan Shou said nothing.
He knew that these two thousand guards were left to Yunqi and Yunge sisters.
When you arrive in the capital, if you can successfully tell your sisters about your marriage, these guards will stay in the capital, so you don’t need to go back twice.
Mrs. Chen sighed quietly, "Will Mrs. return when she leaves?"
Yan Shouzhan narrowed his eyes and glanced at her quietly.
Chen knew the tactfulness and quickly closed his mouth.
Yan Yuntong refused to give up her mother and two sisters.
However, as a son of the Yan family, he should not go to the capital.
After going to the capital, what is he?
Is it a hostage?
The foundation of the Yan family is in Youzhou and in the military camp.
The best way is to stay in the military camp and gain military power.
"Second sister, fourth sister, you must take good care of your mother! If someone bullies her mother, don't be polite. Even in the capital, don't be afraid! Two thousand guards are not vegetarians, no one should be afraid."
Yan Yunge is focused on the key points, so she is naturally not afraid.
If you don’t accept it, beat it!
Beat until the other party is convinced!
Yan Yunqi said, "Second brother, don't worry about us, you should take good care of yourself. Be careful and don't let us worry about you in the capital."
"Don't worry, I won't have anything to do." Yan Yuntong patted her chest and promised.
Ding Changshi sent someone to urge him.
Today I went out, looked at the almanac, and selected auspicious times.
If you continue, it will delay the time to set off.
Auspicious times cannot be delayed, and it is unlucky.
The mother and daughter got on the carriage and waved goodbye.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and the Hou's Mansion gradually moved away.
Yan Yunqi sighed, "Will there be a chance to come back now when we leave?"
Yan Yunge nodded, he definitely had a chance to come back.
It's just that things are unpredictable.
Who would have thought that in the next few years, everything would change.
...
Travel during the day, find a station or a village along the way to rest at night.
Shi Ding Changshi was anxious to return to the capital and urged him all the way.
This trip to leave the palace has been delayed too much time.
I leave Beijing in spring and still rush out in autumn.
When I return to the capital, it is probably winter.
Shi Ding Changshi was anxious and wanted to put on his wings and fly back to the capital.
He found Xiao: "Miss Princess, we have been walking too slowly these days. Can you continue to give me instructions and ask everyone to speed up?"
He is a tactful person.
In the Hou Mansion, he called Xiao the wife.
He followed the customs of the countryside, because everyone in the marquis's mansion called Xiao family that was called this.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten that Xiao had the title of county lord.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Ding Changshi consciously changed his words to Xiao as the county lord.
Even the servants who served Xiao changed their words.
Title is very important.
In the Marquis' Mansion, in order to make everyone ignore the fact that she was born into the royal family, Xiao ordered his subordinates to call her wife and not to call her county lord.
After twenty years, as expected, many people in the Marquis' Mansion forgot that she had the title of county lord.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he changed his name to the county lord, but he just restored her original identity.
Xiao said softly: "Every day is rushing, and at the current speed, everyone is already feeling tired. If we speed up, we may be so tired that we have not arrived in the capital yet. I know that Eunuch Ding is in a hurry to return to the capital. If we arrive in the capital ten days later, it should not be delayed. Why not let go of our mood and enjoy the scenery along the way. When we arrive in the capital, we will want to have such a leisurely life, but we cannot ask for it."
Ding Changshi smiled bitterly, "Our family is half a year away from Beijing, how can we not be anxious? We will arrive in the capital one day earlier and feel at ease one day earlier. Please be considerate of the county magistrate."
Xiao said, "I want to understand you, but who is here to understand me again? This trip to the capital, good fortune and bad luck are unpredictable. I feel that since I left the Marquis' Mansion, I can't sleep at night. I just hope that this road can be slower and slower. One day later, I will be able to face the bloody storm of the capital a little later.
If I say this, you may laugh at me as timid as a mouse. I have been away from Beijing for twenty years, how can I not be timid? My father and mother are all under my family, brothers and sisters are dead, but I am the only one who lives in the world. When I return to the capital, how can I face my deceased relatives? I am afraid that my parents and relatives have blamed them for so many years. I have never visited the graves for them. I am afraid that the court will cause difficulties, and I am afraid that everyone will criticize me. I beg Eunuch Ding, can I allow me to be free for a few days, and don’t push me into the abyss so quickly."
"The county magistrate is so serious!" Ding Changshi's face looked bad.
As far as he goes, what else can he say?
If he continues to ask for speed improvement, wouldn’t it be unkind?
Being tactfully said it will become a compulsion.
This matter can be big or small.
You can do nothing or do less, but you must never do something wrong and you cannot leave a handle for others.
"Did Eunuch Ding refuse to agree to me?" Xiao sighed softly, looking desolate.
Ding Changshi gritted his teeth, "Forget it, forgot it. Just follow the words of the county magistrate. If the palace blames the blame, please ask the county magistrate to say a few good words to our family in front of the master."
"must!"
...
The speed of the convoy entering Beijing slowed down and there was no need to hurry up. Everyone obviously felt much more relaxed.
Every day, I hurry on my way after the sun comes out, and I stop and rest before the sun sets.
However, no matter how slow the speed is, there will always be a day to reach the destination.
As he watched as he got closer and closer to the capital, Xiao's emotions also fluctuated.
On this day, everyone rushed for a day and rested at the inn outside the city.
Xiao called his two daughters to him and gave some advice.
"When you arrive in the capital, you must abide by the rules. Yunqi, I am not worried, you have always been steady. Yunge, the capital is not Shanggu County, there are many capable people, and there may be an unfathomable background behind a small person. You should not act impulsively, nor should you see anyone who doesn't like it. Using force is a taboo in the capital. Once you move, someone will make a fuss about you, which may implicate your father and the entire Yan family."
Yan Yunqi pulled Yan Yunge and nodded in response.
"Don't worry, Mother, I must be optimistic about my fourth sister and will not let her do anything. If she does something, I will stop her."
Yan Yunge stared at his second sister with a suspicious look.
If she does something randomly, can her second sister stop her?
Just rely on the second sister's little arms and legs?
What a joke.
Yan Yunqi glared at her, not letting her mother worry.
oh!
Yan Yunge nodded sensibly, she definitely didn't let her mother worry.
However, if someone really doesn't make her feel unhappy, she won't be polite.
People are bullied by others.
To be continued...
