AWB Chapter 407 Going to the Capital
Chapter 407 Going to the Capital
Since we have decided to go to the capital, and there is only half a month left, we need to start preparing.
Xie Jiaojiao had not yet fully recovered from her confinement, so the preparations naturally fell on Jiang Weinan's shoulders.
When Sun Ruhua heard that they were going to the capital, she was surprised at first, and then she disagreed. She pulled Xie Jiaojiao and said aggrievedly: "If you all leave, I will be the only one left at home. How can I celebrate the New Year?"
Xie Jiaojiao understood what she meant. Zhiyi was not around, and if she was not around, wouldn't the huge Xie family only have Sun Ruhua?
But if Sun Ruhua were to come along, she might not be able to endure the fatigue of the journey. Besides, it was unknown what might happen to her during this trip to the capital...
"Mom, I've been married to Weinan for several years, and I've never met his real relatives. This time, his uncle wrote to invite us to the capital to celebrate the New Year. It's hard to refuse an invitation from an elder. And think about it, Weinan used to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. He and I have been married for so many years, it's time for me to meet his relatives..."
Sun Ruhua still didn't want to go: "Can I not go?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head. She didn’t dare to tell Sun Ruhua about the interests involved, otherwise she would not be able to go.
"Mom, during the Chinese New Year, you can invite Niu Er and Xiu'er, as well as Xie Zhili and Liu Mingyue to celebrate the New Year at home. Just remember that Weinan and I will be back after the Chinese New Year!"
Seeing that they were determined to go, Sun Ruhua didn't want to stop them any longer.
Xie Jiaojiao thought she was angry, but unexpectedly, she turned around and helped to pack up the things.
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
What surprised her was that Manager Wang came with a bag on his back. When he heard that they were going to the capital, he proposed to go with them.
"Don't worry, Madam. Manager Gu and I have already handed over all matters in the shop."
Jiang Weinan looked at him and said, "You are an old man, but you don't know how to enjoy your life. You run around with us all day long without feeling tired."
Steward Wang smiled and said, "I have been here with the young lady for so many years. I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I want to go back with you to take a look."
As he said this, he put down his luggage.
After he said this, Jiang Weinan didn't say anything else.
After another two days of packing at home, Xie Jiaojiao's confinement period was over, so they prepared to set off for Jiangbo City to meet up with Qin Fang.
After Sun Ruhua stuffed the last bundle into the carriage, she walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and hugged Xiaoxiao.
The little baby had just finished his milk and was now looking around with his eyes wide open.
Sun Ruhua was very reluctant to leave.
"Or, the child can stay at home and I'll take care of him for you. You'll be back after the New Year anyway."
Xie Jiaojiao grabbed her shoulder and jokingly said, "What? Are you afraid that we won't come back, so you're holding us hostage?"
"How can you talk like that, kid! What do you mean you can't come back? Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Xie Jiaojiao immediately made a few "Pooh" sounds.
Only then did Sun Ruhua hand the child to her.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will be back after the Chinese New Year. I will take the child with me, first to show her grandpa, and second to show her uncle!"
After saying that, he teased the little baby: "Is that so, Xiaoxiao?"
Sun Ruhua couldn't say anything, but her eyes were red.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her and said, "Take good care of yourself at home and wait for us to come back."
Sun Ruhua nodded.
I watched them leave, and as soon as I waved goodbye, tears started falling.
Cuizhu and Laifu followed them, while Hanlu stayed behind.
"Don't be sad, old lady. The young master and the young mistress will be back after the New Year."
Sun Ruhua just nodded slightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes, and only turned back into the house after the carriage disappeared.
In the carriage.
Jiang Weinan looked at the baby in Xie Jiaojiao's arms. He felt that it was safest to keep the child, but he also wanted his uncle and grandfather to see his child...
When they arrived in Jiangbo City, they first went home and asked Lai Fu to inform Qin Fang that they had arrived.
I had planned to set off with Qin Fang the next morning.
Unexpectedly, Lai Fu came back and told him: "Master, Lord Qin said that we will set out in the evening."
"So anxious?"
Lai Fu said seriously: "Master Qin said, so as to avoid more trouble at night!"
Jiang Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao looked at each other...
After Lai Fu left, Jiang Weinan walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and said, "I feel like this journey won't be peaceful. Do you think we should keep Xiao Xiao here?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "If we leave her here, it might not be safe! Instead of that, it's better for her to stay with us. At least our family of three can be together."
……
When it was completely dark, a carriage came to the backyard.
Together with the Jiang family's two carriages, they set off out of the city.
The little baby in the middle fell asleep and was held by the wet nurse and Cuizhu.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan also leaned against each other and slept for a while.
The carriage didn't stop until dawn.
The two of them woke up slowly. Xie Jiaojiao felt pain all over her body because she didn't sleep well.
Hearing a noise outside the carriage, Jiang Weinan drew aside the curtain and saw Qin Fang standing outside.
"Brother Qin?"
Jiang Weinan jumped off the carriage.
Qin Fang turned around.
"This journey may not be peaceful. For safety reasons, I split into two groups. We set out last night and took the land route, and today someone will pretend to be me and take the water route."
Jiang Weinan nodded: "Is the situation in the court so tense now?"
Qin Fang nodded: "But at present, it is still under the control of the teacher."
After he finished saying this, the sun began to emerge from the horizon.
Zuo Cheng and the others brought some dry food over: "Master Qin, Master, please make do with what you have for now. When we pass the next forest, we will go hunt some game to eat."
The two of them were not polite.
Cuizhu also took out the dried meat prepared by Sun Ruhua and distributed it to everyone.
After a simple breakfast, the three carriages continued on their journey.
After Xie Jiaojiao listened to Jiang Weinan repeating Qin Fang's words.
I felt a little worried.
Jiang Weinan held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Brother Qin has made careful arrangements. We will definitely reach the capital safely."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, hoping to reach the capital as soon as possible...
