Xiao Lingyue felt the little body in her arms move, and opened her eyes, "Are you awake?"
"Yes." Beibei rubbed his eyes and yawned again. Feeling that the carriage was still moving forward, he said in surprise: "Mother, how long have I been asleep? Isn't it here yet?"
"It's still early, we've just walked halfway." Xiao Lingyue was also helpless.
The carriage's speed is just like this, so there's no point in hurrying.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" she asked.
"I'm not hungry yet." Beibei shook his head.
Xiao Lingyue did not force herself, and sat the little one aside. She stood up and touched the temperature of the food box. There was a charcoal basin burning beside it, and the food box was not cold even now, and was still warm.
Beibei was bored sitting there, so he climbed to the car window and pushed open the window.
The sun suddenly shone in and dazzled his eyes.
God is beautiful.
The sky was still gloomy when we first set off, but halfway through we got sunny again and there were no clouds in the sky.
Beibei was not lively and active, and he did not feel bored in the carriage. He chatted with his mother and looked at the scenery outside the window, and the time passed quickly.
Until he felt hungry and his stomach growled.
Xiao Lingyue took out the soup and shredded chicken porridge from the food box, and the mother and son filled their stomachs. In the middle of the afternoon, the Marquis's carriage finally arrived at its destination.
Xiao Lingyue looked up from the car window and saw a vast expanse of green.
The peaks are tall and beautiful, and among the layers of green, you can see a golden pagoda standing on the top of the mountain. The top of the pagoda faces the sun, and from a distance it seems to diffuse a circle of golden Buddha light.
The scenery is really good.
The carriage procession stopped in an open space at the foot of the mountain.
The mounted guards dismounted one after another and made preparations for a temporary stop.
Xiao Lingyue got off the carriage, turned around and took Beibei down.
She thought it was already early to set off from the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and she didn't stop to rest along the way. However, when she reached the foot of the mountain, she discovered that many officials from the court and central government had arrived earlier than the Shen family. They all seemed to have been waiting.
It's been a while.
Because of the taboo, the area more than ten miles near the foot of Xiangguo Temple was blocked off by the Imperial Army, and no one else was allowed to approach.
Therefore, the neighborhood is not only quiet but also very safe.
Xiao Lingyue saw the other side of the open space from a distance, which was blocked by a long curtain. She could vaguely see the figures of the female family members, as well as talking and laughing. The atmosphere seemed harmonious, as if they were going out for a spring outing.
At the other end, the old marquis and others also got out of the carriage. The guards quickly made preparations, setting up tables, chairs and refreshments for the two marquis to rest.
"Mr. Shen, why are you here so early? Have you had a hard journey along the way?" Several officials not far away saw the old marquis and hurriedly came over to greet him.
The old Marquis laughed and said: "I am old and don't sleep much, so I just set off early. The adults are usually busy with official duties, but they came so early today. They are really thoughtful!"
"Hahaha, the old Marquis is overly praised, it should be..."
Shen Zhijiang also smiled and agreed beside him, and a group of officials greeted each other and praised each other.
The atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.
Xiao Lingyue didn't have the patience to listen to their flattery, and she couldn't walk over to join in the fun. Seeing that the weather was not bad, she bent down and asked Beibeidao: "Would you like to go for a walk nearby to get some fresh air? After riding in the carriage for so long, your bones are almost stiff.
.”
Beibei nodded.
Xiao Lingyue spoke to the guard next to her and led him towards the hillside next to the open space.
Away from the noisy crowd, the air seems to have become fresher.
The mother and son took a casual walk, admiring the pristine scenery around them. When they were tired, they found a piece of clean grass to sit down, blowing in the wind and basking in the sun. It was very comfortable. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
