As the carriage drove farther and farther, the city walls and human figures gradually faded away. Slowly, slowly, everything blurred into a yellow sky, and no trace could be traced anymore.
When Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, she realized that her face was tense and uncomfortable. It turned out that the flying dust and tears dried on her face, as if it was a cold and hard mask.
Ye Zhenzhen slowly wiped her face clean, but she didn't feel relaxed at all. She was so concerned and reluctant to leave her face that she kept her face in a dark mood. She could only cheer up when she thought of Aunt Cui and Wang Zai who were far away in the capital.
The weather was hot at this time, and it was a long journey, which was very hard. Fortunately, there was a carriage to avoid the hardship of being exposed to the sun and rain. In addition, with the care of General Deng, Ye Zhenzhen was more relaxed than when she came.
Counting the days day by day, after more than half a month of long journey, the group finally successfully arrived in the capital.
The military camp was located on the outskirts of Beijing, and Deng Cunying's army could not enter the city, so he said goodbye to Ye Zhenzhen at the city gate: "Mrs. Cui, I have to go to the palace to see Your Majesty. I can't continue to escort you back to the palace. Please forgive me."
Ye Zhenzhen quickly bowed and said gratefully: "Thanks to General Deng for taking care of me all the way, I am very grateful. The general's official duties are my top priority, so I will come to the mansion to express my gratitude."
Deng Cunying bowed his hand to her and rode into the city.
Ye Zhenzhen did not have the right to go through the special passage, so she queued up with the people to enter the city gate. As soon as she stepped into the inner city, the prosperity and bustle of Kyoto hit her face. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes on the street, Ye Zhenzhen
Zhen suddenly felt a sense of confusion and confusion.
Her dull mind still reflected the simplicity and isolation of Qingyun Mansion, but at this time, she was caught off guard by the openness and prosperity of the capital city. The two completely different styles had their own characteristics. Ye Zhenzhen loved the capital city alone.
There is no other reason than that my home is here.
The thoughts that had been accumulated for a long time rose up like a tide. Ye Zhenzhen felt more anxious and anxious than ever before. She couldn't even wait for a moment, she jumped on her horse and rushed home impatiently.
The sound of horse hoofs clattered, and they returned to Yongjiafang in a short time. Looking at the Cui Mansion getting closer and closer, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt a sense of hesitation and cowardice, which made her feel more familiar and timid. This time she left Beijing willfully.
For more than a month, they left a whole family of women and children alone in Beijing. Did they ever blame her?
Is Aunt Cui in good health?
Is Wangzi ever healthy?
Did everything go well for the younger siblings?
…
Countless anxieties and worries came one after another. The more Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, the more ashamed she became. She had succeeded in being a good wife, but she was not a qualified daughter-in-law, mother and sister.
Ye Zhenzhen got off the carriage, but hesitated at the door. This appearance aroused the suspicion of the concierge - the concierge of Cui Mansion was Qiu Yan's father and younger brother. Now Qiu Yan manages the Guose Club and is also a respectable maid
, her family was not arrogant and proud of this, but became more and more cautious. When the master of the family was away from the capital, they guarded the gate of the mansion cautiously, and never let any idle people come to disturb the master of the mansion.
At this time, Qiu Yan's father saw someone walking around in front of the house, acting suspiciously, and was about to come out to chase him away. However, the moment he saw the other person's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he was doing, and turned red with excitement.
