Young Master Liu had just changed into a loose robe after returning home from Gua Tan, when Qi Yun hurried into the room.
"Husband, have you changed your clothes?"
Young Master Liu tied up the jade belt around his waist in a hurry, and when he saw Qi Yun hurriedly walking into the room, he walked over with a smile.
"Madam? What's wrong? Why do you look so anxious?"
Qi Yun saw her husband coming out from behind the screen, and hurriedly greeted him, grabbed Mr. Liu's wrist and walked out the door.
"Hey, hey, Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so impatient? My husband has just come back. You should let me have a cup of tea and rest first."
Qi Yun looked back slightly, frowned at her husband who looked surprised, and shook her head helplessly.
"Little sister Xuan'er is going to explore the world again. When I came to see you, she had already started packing her bags. Do you think it's appropriate for you, the eldest brother, not to see her off?"
Young Master Liu's originally somewhat reluctant expression suddenly changed, he grabbed Qi Yun's wrist with his backhand and hurried towards the courtyard where Liu Xuan lived.
"Yun'er, let's go there quickly, before this girl has already set off on her way.
Xuan'er is such a stinky girl. If she wanted to go out in the world, she wouldn't have known to say hello two days in advance. If she had said hello in advance, why would I be in such a hurry now?"
"As my eldest brother, you don't even know what little sister Xuan'er is thinking, and I, my sister-in-law, don't even know. Who knew that my little sister would act so decisively and leave as soon as she says she wants to leave?"
When Mr. and Mrs. Liu rushed to the courtyard where Liu Xuan lived, Liu Xuan had already put the packed baggage on her shoulders. When she saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law, who were rushing over in a hurry, she immediately gave them a blessing.
"Xuan'er has met eldest brother and sister-in-law Yun."
Young Master Liu glanced at the burden on his younger sister Liu Xuanxiang's shoulders, loosened his grip on Qi Yun and waved casually.
"Okay, okay, there are so many vulgar etiquettes. It's true, you girl, you don't know how to say hello to your elder brother in advance when you are going to travel in the world.
Fortunately, eldest brother came back early today because there were no customers at the Gua stall, otherwise I might not have been able to see you."
Liu Xuan saw the helpless expression on her elder brother's face and smiled lightly and shook her head.
"No, no. Even if you don't come home in time today, brother, Xuan'er will not leave you without saying goodbye.
Xuan'er originally thought that after saying goodbye to Sister-in-law Yun and all the other sisters-in-law, she was going to say goodbye to her eldest brother at the Gua stall outside Penglai Restaurant.
Unexpectedly, brother, you happened to have returned home first, so that's good, it will save Xuan'er one more trip."
Qi Yun smiled sweetly and walked to Liu Xuan's side and stopped, grabbed Liu Xuan's jade hand and sighed softly.
"Little sister, are you really not thinking about it anymore? The Chinese New Year is just two or three months away, and you will still have to come back to celebrate the reunion festival.
In this case, with these two or three months, why would you go out and wander around in the world now?
It doesn’t hurt to take a good rest at home and wait until next spring before going out again!
Don’t mind your sister-in-law’s nagging, she’s doing this for your own sake.”
"Sister-in-law, Xuan'er appreciates your kindness, but Xuan'er is too idle at home. I really can't stand this kind of lazy life."
Qi Yun wanted to persuade her again, but Liu Mingzhi raised her hand to stop her.
"Yun'er, since Xuan'er has already made a plan, please stop trying to persuade her."
"This... okay, I know."
"Xuan'er, have you told your parents that you are leaving home?"
"As I said in the morning, although my parents were reluctant to let Xuan'er go to explore the world again, they didn't want to restrict Xuan'er's own thoughts, so they agreed after saying some farewell words.
It was after Xuan'er came out from her parents' house that she told Sister-in-law Yun about this."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment and nodded with a lonely expression.
"Come on, since my parents have already agreed, what can I, the eldest brother, say?
Anyway, your heart is not at home, so just go if you want to."
"Yeah, thank you, brother."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted his younger sister Liu Xuan's shoulders a few times, then turned and walked outside Liu Xuan's boudoir.
"Silly girl, if you have anything to do with eldest brother, go and say goodbye to your other sisters-in-law first. Brother will wait for you at the gate of the house.
After this goodbye, I don’t know when we will see each other again, so I’ll see you off, big brother.”
"Okay, Xuan'er understands."
Qi Yun looked at her husband's back and sighed helplessly, then nodded to Liu Xuan.
"Let's go, my sister-in-law will go with you to say goodbye to her sister-in-law."
"Okay, then I'll take care of my sister-in-law."
Liu Mingzhi waited outside the house for a long time before his younger sister Liu Xuan arrived belatedly surrounded by many beauties.
"Brother."
"Sisters I have met my husband."
"No gifts for all, Yun'er, Wanyan, Yan'er, Sister Ya... you go back first, it's getting late, and I'm going to see my little sister off for my husband.
If we delay any longer, my little sister will probably have to sleep in the wilderness today."
"Yes, I understand, my sisters."
"Little sister, I wish you a safe journey, we won't send you off."
"Thank you, sisters-in-law. I'll take my leave now. You can all go back."
Liu Xuan bowed to all the beauties, and when she saw her eldest brother holding the horse's reins, who had already walked more than ten steps, she waved her hand to give a last signal to her sisters-in-law, and followed up towards Young Master Liu with light steps.
The brother and sister walked side by side, silently walking towards the south city gate without saying a word.
I don't know how much time passed, but the figures of the two brothers and sisters appeared on the official road where people were coming and going in the south of the city.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the official road, and then looked up at the endless clear sky.
"Xuan'er, have you decided where to go?"
"I don't know! It's wherever you go!"
Liu Mingzhi fell silent because of his younger sister Liu Xuan's words. After being silent for a long time, he revealed a wry smile, gently grabbed his younger sister's wrist and put the horse rein into her hand.
"Okay, then let's go wherever we go.
But no matter where you go, Xuan'er, Big Brother hopes that you can remember the hexagram that Big Brother has calculated for you."
Liu Xuan's delicate body trembled, she bit her red lips lightly with her teeth, intending to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just held the horse's rein tightly and nodded her head.
Liu Mingzhi looked at his younger sister's slightly dull face, fumbled in his sleeves for a moment, took out a banknote and put it in Liu Xuan's hand.
"Girl, you should eat and spend time along the way, but don't wrong yourself.
If you feel tired outside, big brother welcomes you to go home and rest at any time.
I won’t say too many parting words, but don’t forget to think carefully about what I just said to you.
The road to Guanshan is long, so be careful along the way."
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he patted Liu Xuan's shoulder a few times with his big hand, and then turned around and walked towards the city gate.
"Brother."
Liu Mingzhi's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned slightly to look at Liu Xuan, who was holding up her arms.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't think...you should take it more seriously."
"I got it, stinky girl, big brother... I wish you a safe journey again."
Liu Mingzhi replied as if he didn't care, straightened his clothes, and hurried forward with high strides.
Silly girl, I'm so sorry for you.
Liu Xuan's beautiful eyes were dull as she watched her eldest brother's somewhat forlorn figure gradually go away, and she gently waved her palms a few times.
It turned out that my eldest brother’s back had also bent a lot without realizing it.
Liu Xuan blinked her slightly moist eyes hard several times, took the horse's rein and walked silently in the opposite direction.
