The snow was getting heavier and heavier. In order not to let herself be dragged down, Chengchun brought a set of clothes besides the clothes she was wearing. But even so, she was still out of breath while walking on the road.
She stood there, looking up at the sky. The snow kept falling, falling on her face and nose, and then slipped into her collar. In order not to be recognized, she wore a suit made by herself.
The stitching on the coat is very poor, and he doesn't look like someone who came out of a wealthy courtyard.
She walked forward firmly step by step. She had been waiting for this day for a long, long time. She knew very clearly that she did not belong here, so no matter what, she had to leave this place.
She has already asked someone to inquire about the next ship to Hangzhou, which will be tomorrow morning. She must catch that ship. With such heavy snow, it will not take a few days for the river to freeze, and the waterway will be frozen.
It would be difficult to leave by land. She didn't know when she would be able to reach Jiangnan, so she had to catch the ship.
The pier was far away, and Cheng Chun walked in a hurry. If she had been there before, she could have walked very fast, and she could have arrived even if it was several miles away. But now, she can't breathe anymore when she walks faster.
Angry, she could only force herself to move forward, but the obsession that made Chengchun insist on completing this journey was to go home.
When Chengchun arrived at the pier, it was almost dawn. Even though it was snowing and the weather was very cold, the people on the pier were still very angry early.
Chengchun was so cold that she could no longer feel her hands and feet. When she saw the wonton shop next to the pier, she suddenly remembered that she would go to the pier to find her father, and her father would buy her a bowl of Little Chaos.
She walked slowly to the wonton shop. Her features were picturesque and fair, even though she was dusty, she was very eye-catching. The little lady of the wonton shop saw Cheng Chun at a glance and saw her wearing her hair in a woman's bun.
Then he shouted: "Madam, do you want to eat wontons?"
Chengchun took out a few copper coins from his arms: "Well, cook a bowl, put more soup in it, and warm it up!"
The shopkeeper's wife quickly agreed, opened the lid of the pot and started pouring the wontons.
Chengchun walked to a seat and sat down. From that position, he could see the ship not far away. The ship was very big and many people had already started to load the cargo. It was a ship going to Hangzhou City.
Not long after, the shopkeeper's wife came over with the cooked ravioli: "Madam, are you going to take a boat?"
"Well, I want to go home!" Chengchun said, looking at the shopkeeper's wife, "When will the boat sail?"
"It's snowing at night, so it's hard for the boat to leave. It may be a little late. We have to wait until the sun comes out before we can leave!" the shopkeeper's wife said. There happened to be no guests, so she asked curiously, "Why are you leaving the capital at this time? I'll be here soon.
It’s New Year’s Eve!”
"I just want to rush back to celebrate the New Year!" Cheng Chun looked at the shopkeeper's wife and said with a smile, "I have been away from home for a long time, so I have to rush back to celebrate the New Year!"
The shopkeeper's wife didn't think much about it, she just looked at Cheng Chun carefully. They were at the dock, and it was rare to see such a good-looking woman. Occasionally, there would be some who wouldn't be asked to take the boat, so they hurriedly got on the boat.
The boat would never stay in a small shop like theirs.
Chengchun lowered his head and ate the wontons one by one. He felt that his whole body was warm and he didn't feel so cold anymore!
"My wife is going to Hangzhou on this ship!" the shopkeeper's wife suddenly said, "You sound like someone from the south of the Yangtze River when you speak, soft and very nice!"
Chengchun smiled: "Yes, when I return to Jiangnan, the capital is too big and not suitable for me!"
Seeing Cheng Chun's nice and lively manner, the shopkeeper's wife couldn't help but want to talk to her a few more words: "Who says it's not the case? This place is rich and noble, and there are noble people everywhere. This might happen accidentally.
Which family's young master have you offended?"
"People, those outside always want to come in, and those inside always want to get out!" Cheng Chun smiled, then looked at the shopkeeper's wife, "Here's another bowl!"
The shopkeeper's wife was a little surprised: "You look so small, but you have a really good appetite!"
Chengchun took out two more copper coins: "I'm rich, you can cook me another bowl!"
The shopkeeper's wife was amused, so she took away the few coins and went to cook wontons: "You look like your new daughter-in-law. You are so delicate. How dare your husband's family let you come out alone?"
"What are you afraid of? I know the way and can go back by myself!" Cheng Chun said, and his originally pale face became a little more energetic.
Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, or maybe he was tired from walking too much. Chengchun, who had been eating nothing these days, had a rare chance of eating two bowls of wontons, and he felt very satisfied.
When it was completely light, Chengchun went to find someone to buy a boat ticket.
The good guest rooms have been booked by distinguished guests long ago, and the remaining rooms are small ones. Chengchun doesn't mind it, he just wants to have a place. For this room, Chengchun even gave an extra tael of silver. I feel sorry for him.
What's more, I was laughed at by the person who sold the boat tickets.
When Chengchun walked onto the deck, she looked at the gray sky not far away and let out a long breath. Just when she was about to go in, she heard Hongdou's call from a distance: "Madam, Madam
, you wait for me!”
Chengchun was stunned. She looked back and saw Hongdou running toward her with a bundle in her arms. Just when she was about to ask her to go back, she saw a crowd of people in the distance. The front was
Yes, it’s Su Xubai dressed in white.
Almost instantly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. She ignored Hongdou running toward her and immediately rushed into the cabin and squeezed into the crowd.
Hong Dou watched Cheng Chun disappear before her eyes, and was about to catch up, but someone grabbed the baggage behind her. Hong Dou turned around sharply and saw Isatis sat on the horse.
Hongdou's face instantly turned pale: "You, how did you..."
"The Fifth Master is here too!" Jianlan pulled Hongdou back, "No matter what you say, you are here to see my little girl!"
Before Hongdou could speak, she saw Su Xubai passing by them and quickly getting on the boat. The people he brought with him immediately surrounded the entire dock. She wanted to step forward, but was killed by Shia Lan.
He held back tightly: "You're crazy! Don't go up there!"
Hongdou refused to listen, and she shook off Isatis: "Please let me go! She is really about to die! Do you really want her to die in a foreign land?"
Jiulan was stunned. At the moment when he was stunned, Hongdou shook off his hand and followed Su Xubai into the carriage. She wanted to find Chengchun, and no matter what happened in the end, she would stay with her.
Su Xubai stood among the crowd, his face was very ugly. He stood there, clenching his fists tightly: "Search for me! If you want to see the person alive, if you die... you want to see the corpse!"
