Since the imperial edict was issued, Ye Zhenzhen has been counting the days on her fingers almost every day, calculating the approximate time when Cui Weizhen will come back. Seeing that the time is almost up, she can no longer contain the excitement and expectation in her heart. Every day
Go to the pavilion outside the city to wait for your return.
Although the public facilities of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not as complete as those of later generations, there were also inns and pavilions for travelers to rest. The former were provided to imperial officials and scholars with meritorious status, and ordinary people did not have the right to live in inns.
But pavilions are different. Long pavilions will be built outside any city, and the capital city under the emperor's feet is particularly sound. There must be a pavilion every ten miles. There are various forms of living beings in the pavilion, including people saying goodbye with tears; scholars enjoying the autumn and playing the harp;
There are also farmers carrying firewood and selling fruits and vegetables...
All kinds of people, all kinds of stories, Ye Zhenzhen watches and listens to them every day, and seems to have caught a glimpse of the mood and customs of this era. It is precisely because of this that the daily waiting becomes interesting.
.
On this day, Ye Zhenzhen still had to go out. Wangzi, who had not been with his mother these days, refused to follow her. He insisted on clinging to her and refused to leave, no matter how much Aunt Cui coaxed her.
Ye Zhenzhen has been accompanying her child since she came back. After being absent for the past few days, Wangzi finally realized it belatedly, which led to today's result.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear to leave her child, so she said to Aunt Cui: "Mom, the weather has been cooler recently and Wangzi hasn't been out yet. I'll take him out today. Maybe Wangzai also knows that his father is coming back and is anxious to be there."
It’s the first time I’ve met him.”
These words are pure nonsense. Wangzai is only a seven-month-old child. He has never met his father a few times. How can he know anything else? He just showed his true colors after being well-behaved for a while. He is domineering and clingy, and he is unwilling to leave his mother.
That’s all.
Aunt Cui had no choice but to say: "That's all. It's not good for a boy to be bored in the house all day. You can take him out for a walk today."
As for whether she would be able to wait for her son today, Aunt Cui had no hope at all. Didn't she see that Zhen'er had waited for so many days with no result? She was just considerate of her daughter-in-law's sincerity and didn't want her to be anxious in the house, so she let her
She just went out to relax.
Aunt Cui felt in her heart that it was better to go for an autumn outing than to pick someone up, so she ordered her servants to pack extra rich things, not only Wangzi's two wet nurses, but also his diapers, toys, clothes, etc.
I brought them all. In addition, I also brought a bunch of pastries, fruits, preserved fruits and other items to Ye Zhenzhen, and slowly loaded two large baskets, which was extremely exaggerated.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she accepted Aunt Cui's kindness. When she went out, she only wanted to do things as easily as possible. She didn't even need to take a maid with her, but she had to be extremely careful when she had a child by her side.
Since it has become an autumn outing, Ye Zhenzhen simply brought her fourth sister with her. This child has been too tired recently and should take some time off.
There were maids and slaves taking care of things, so the master didn't need to do anything. He just gave the order and prepared all the things for the trip. The carriage drove directly into the second door. Ye Zhenzhen hugged Wang Zai and got into the carriage with Peng Peng. As for
The accompanying maid and wet nurse sat in another vehicle, said goodbye to Aunt Cui, and set off to leave the Cui Mansion.
However, what I didn't expect was that the carriage was blocked as soon as it left the house.
