Chapter Eighteen: Seeing Off at the Ten Mile Pavilion
Nalan Lianyue returned to her yard three times at a time, tossing and turning all night and unable to sleep well.
However, Yan Qing took a rest early because he was very tired.
Yun'er and Jing'er spent half the night tidying up Yan Qingzheng's things.
Early the next morning, Yan Qing had to leave after breakfast. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to touch her pocket. There were quite a few banknotes in it, and she smiled happily.
She couldn't take the 100,000 taels of silver notes with her, so she hid them in several places and stuffed them into important things in her luggage.
She only had 10,000 taels of silver notes and some broken silver on her body, but the girl did have some copper plates on her body.
The sky in the morning was very clear, and Yan Qing was stretching. From today on, she would leave this three-acre land and go to a wider space to gain more knowledge.
She will not cry like a baby, she must work hard to practice her kung fu well, and leave a cool rumor and legend in the world like her mother!
Yan Qing was packing his luggage, had breakfast, rinsed his mouth, carrying a small homemade backpack, instructing his servants to load the luggage into the carriage, and then stood at the gate of the courtyard and ordered the two maids who were left behind: "Here
I keep a close eye on the door. Anyone who dares to bully you while I'm away will be recorded in my notebook. I'll come back to settle the score with them!"
The servants around who heard this were all silent.
"Yes, miss!" The maids cried with tears in their eyes, feeling very sad.
"Miss, please take care and don't kick the quilt!"
"Miss, don't be picky about food..."
"Miss, keep a low profile and don't bully others..."
Yan Qing was listening to these parting instructions, which were becoming more and more outrageous. He quickly waved his hands and said: "Watch the door, take care of the family, I'm leaving." Yan Qing was leaving in a clean and tidy manner, without any sloppiness at all.
, he didn’t even care about his parents and family members who were crying in tears behind him.
Nalan Lianyue was crying so hard that she was out of breath: "You... you also said... uh, what you said about 'females can't stay in college'... At this... age, she left home..."
Yan Xi supported his wife and forced her tears back by doing exercises. It was very hard.
Several sisters sent the little bully away, and their hearts were very complicated. Although this sister was a bit domineering, she was still generous. As long as you followed her, she would basically give you whatever you wanted.
The sixth lady stood in a standard posture, wearing a curtain hat at a young age to cover Lihua's tearful face. Her sisters all also held handkerchiefs to cover their red eyes.
Everyone in the fourth room of the Yan family is sentimental, but Miss Six is actually okay.
Old Mrs. Yan suddenly slapped her thigh and regretted that she shouldn't have transferred away the housekeeper in her yard because of Yan Qingzheng's strength. She had been away for eight years and was only six years old. The two maids were also in their teens.
, what should I do if there is no adult around to take care of me?
Nalan Lianyue temporarily put away her sorrow and told her mother-in-law that all the disciples in the sect were managed by someone, and the younger disciples also had dedicated older disciples to take care of them...
Ye Qing was sitting in a spacious carriage at the moment, accompanied by two big maids. Through the carved and hollow carriage windows, she felt the wind blowing in as the carriage moved forward. She felt more comfortable than ever before.
The carriage quickly passed through the streets and alleys, and finally drove out of the city gate in full view of everyone.
Shili Pavilion outside the city is a real place of farewell, where many people formally part ways.
When the Yan family's carriage arrived on the official road below Shili Pavilion, they saw Butler Liu from Prince Xuan's Mansion waiting by the roadside.
"My prince invites Miss Seven to come to the pavilion to have a talk." Butler Liu said respectfully to the carriage.
Yan Qing was thinking that he and Prince Xuan were old acquaintances and had received gifts from him. After eight years of absence, he really should say hello to him.
She stepped out of the carriage with Yun'er's help. After all, she hadn't entered the world yet. She still needed to pay attention to her words and deeds and pretend to be a lady. She politely said to Butler Liu, "Please lead the way, Butler Liu."
Butler Liu crouched and led Yan Qing up to the Ten Mile Pavilion on the hillside.
It is said that basically every city will have a ten-mile pavilion or a five-mile pavilion at the four city gates. Some are just simple square wooden pavilions with only four pillars, and some are much more exquisite.
The Shili Pavilion outside the capital is naturally taller. It is not only a double pavilion, but also built with the King of Wu's chair in it. The space inside is also large, and it is equipped with stone tables and benches. It is said that lanterns are hung under the six eaves of the pavilion at night.
, a dedicated person comes over every day to light the lamps.
At this moment, there were no outsiders in the two connected pavilions, except for the figure of a young man looking towards the mountains in the south with his hands behind his back.
"My daughter has met Prince Xuan." Prince Xuan stood very tall and straight, and Yan Qingzheng couldn't help but straighten up a lot.
Prince Xuan turned around and looked at Yan Qingzheng, who had already lifted up the veil on his hat. He couldn't help but feel in a daze. Is this his future princess? She is such a small person now, and she is about to travel far away and will not return for eight years.
…
"You and I are engaged now, so you don't need to be so polite." Prince Xuan looked away, still not used to talking to little girls.
Yan Qing was smiling, and Prince Xuan said that she didn't need to be polite, which was exactly what she wanted.
Prince Xuan happened to see this smiling face, and the prince's hidden dragon jade pendant suddenly came to mind...
"Haha..." He thought of the prince's grimace and the jade pendant that separated his head from his body, which was rare in his life, and he suddenly laughed.
Yan Qingzheng always thought that his father was the most beautiful among men, but he didn't expect that Prince Xuan's smile was so... beautiful!
"You should smile more, then Daddy Fengrong's reputation as the most handsome man will be transferred to you." Yan Qingzheng said seriously.
Prince Xuan suddenly felt a little hot at the base of his ears, and Yan Qingzheng was also surprised, why did this man blush while speaking.
"Your Majesty is as good as banishing an immortal, how can this king be able to achieve it?" Prince Xuan said very humbly, but those who are familiar with him knew that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Relegated to an immortal?" Yan Qing was thinking about his father's virtue... silently thinking that it would be better not to expose the family scandal.
"Ahem..." Prince Xuan coughed lightly. He didn't come here to talk about this. "It's not convenient for me to go to your home, but I know you are leaving today, so I came here to see you off."
"Oh, thank you." Yan Qingzheng was very polite.
"It should."
Yan Qingzheng suddenly remembered that she had accepted many gifts from others. Her family had sent all the dowry gifts from Prince Xuan to her small courtyard, but she had never given Prince Xuan anything, uh, except Geng Tie.
It seemed like she had taken a huge advantage... Yan Qing didn't want this. When she walked around the world... well, she would definitely not leave such a stain when she walked around the world in the future.
