Chengchun and Hongdou went to the escort agency together. The escort agency was full of tall and thick men. When they saw Chengchun, their eyes lit up. Chengchun was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward. Finally, the escort lady came over and said, "Two girls
Are you here to throw darts?"
Chengchun looked at the escort girl in front of him. She was wearing a pair of new clothes. She looked very capable and her eyes were sparkling. She didn't look like a bad person. Chengchun bravely said: "I heard that you
I’m going to Huizhou, so I wanted to come over and ask if you could give us a ride?”
The escort girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hongdou behind Cheng Chun, and immediately reacted: "Oh, you came here yesterday to ask if we were going to Jiangnan on the way? Aren't you going to Hangzhou? Why are you willing to take this train with us?
Already?"
"The distance between Huizhou and Hangzhou is much better. When we get to Huizhou, we can transfer there and go there." Cheng Chun said softly, then took out a purse from his arms and handed it to the escort girl, "The two of us won't cause any trouble.
Just follow the convoy, this is the toll we gave you!"
The lady from the escort agency weighed the weight of her purse, and then said: "Okay, no problem, you don't have to be afraid, I'm going to follow you this time too, and having a woman here can help you take care of you!"
Chengchun laughed: "Really? That would be great!"
"Then you come over tomorrow!" The escort girl said with a smile, and then she put her purse in her arms.
Since the shopkeeper's wife agreed, Chengchun naturally felt relieved and went to the street with Hongdou to buy some food.
When I went to the store to buy dry food, what the store brought out was embarrassing. It was durable enough to withstand hunger, but the taste was extremely bad. I originally refused to buy the red beans, but Chengchun decided to buy them anyway for the sake of insurance.
Less dry food.
However, Chengchun also thought that it would not be easy to buy some things in the current weather, so he also bought a lot of steamed buns, steamed buns, and some shortbread cookies. He also bought a lot of sauces on the way, such as meat sauce and bean paste.
I bought some jam and packed it into a big bag.
When they returned to the inn, the shopkeeper looked at them with such big bags and couldn't help laughing: "Girl, please go with the escort agency. If the escort agency is willing to bring guests, it means that the escort is not in a hurry this time. They
I can walk slowly and pick up jobs along the way, and I won’t be on the road all the time. Most of the time, as long as I can catch up, I will stay one night in some surrounding towns and villages, so I don’t need so many things!”
"Ah? Is that so?" Chengchun was a little surprised, "I thought I would be on the road all the time, so I bought a lot!"
"But it doesn't matter!" the shopkeeper smiled, "I think they are all things that won't go bad easily. The meat sauce we have here is a special feature. It's better for girls to bring some more to be prepared!"
The shopkeeper was trying to comfort Chengchun. Although Chengchun was a little sad, it only lasted for a short while. After all, the fact that she was going back soon made her happier.
That night, Cheng Chun had dinner and sat in front of the window looking at the sky outside: "It's been almost a year since I last saw my mother, and I don't know how she is doing now. They must have been soaking in the fields during the day this season.
My father is such a hard-working man that he wishes he could do the work of four or five people by himself, and he doesn’t even know how to feel sorry for himself!"
"Isn't that girl feeling sorry for her?" Hongdou looked at Chengchun and said, "Has the girl thought about how we will settle down when we get back?"
Cheng Chun paused and said nothing.
Everyone in Zhuangzi knows about her marriage. There will definitely be a lot of trouble when she goes back. Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Su Xubai already has an industry in Jiangnan, so it is inevitable that the news will reach him.
In the ear, so she cannot return to her own home no matter what.
Hongdou thought she had said something wrong: "Girl, I..."
"It doesn't matter, you are right. Since we are going back, we have to figure out how to settle ourselves. We will definitely not be able to go back to Zhuangzi. Then we will go live in a nearby town and go to Pange's shop.
, buy two pieces of land." Chengchun looked at Hongdou and said with a smile, "I just don't know if we have enough silver?"
"The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge, just take it one step at a time!" Hongdou said with a smile, "Girl, you should go to bed earlier!"
When Chengchun lay down, Hongdou was already fast asleep. She lay there with a white jade hairpin in her hand, and fell asleep soon after.
When they arrived at the Escort Bureau early the next morning with large and small bags, the people from the Escort Agency were already loading the carriage. After seeing them, they said: "People in front, goods in the back. You go to the carriage in front. Our ladies
There too!"
Chengchun thanked Hongdou and went to the carriage in front. The escort girl was standing beside her, holding a child in her arms. The child looked young, only about three or four years old.
Chengchun was a little surprised: "Madam, is this your child?"
The lady from the escort agency nodded: "Yes, it's my little brother, the older one has gone to the academy to attend classes!"
"The child is so young, why are you willing to travel far away?" Chengchun stretched out his hand to tease the child, his eyes filled with joy.
"There's no way, someone has to do the work in the escort agency. His father went to the west, a year ago, and won't be back until next month. We who work in the escort agency, who are out all the year round, are all doing it to make a living!" The wife of the escort agency looked at it.
She was holding the child in her arms with a look of reluctance on her face.
When Cheng Chun was thinking about comforting him, the lady from the escort handed the child in her arms to an old woman: "Mom, let's set off. Your father-in-law should take care of himself at home, do you understand?"
The old woman nodded, hugged the child, and squeezed the child's hand: "Say goodbye to your mother!"
The child probably felt the breath of separation, cried "Wow", and stretched out his hand to reach the escort girl's arms.
Cheng Chun saw her eyes turned red, but still turned around and took care of the escort before setting off.
Hongdou helped Chengchun get into the carriage. The carriage was small and had a musty smell, but they had no right to dislike it.
The motorcade set off slowly amid the cries of the children. Just after the carriage ran a certain distance, Chengchun heard the escort girl yelling: "Why are you here if you don't go to class?"
"Mom, I'm so old, you can't sneak away anymore!"
Cheng Chun opened the curtain and saw the escort girl sitting on the carriage, holding a riding whip in one hand and pointing at the young man standing there: "I will be back in a while. You are at home. Please be considerate of your grandparents. Xiu Mu."
I will also go visit my grandpa and grandma every now and then and fulfill my filial piety for my mother!"
The young man responded, his eyes slightly red.
The escort girl didn't wait any longer and drove off.
