Chapter 359 The Elders’ Heart
Chen Sanlang wrote it down in one stroke:
A figure disappearing into the wind.
After writing, he looked at his own words with joy, as if he had received a call from Wang Jinyi again.
He felt full of energy again, walked out of the rice shop with brisk steps and was about to leave.
Huo Ying hurried forward to stop him and said unhappily, "You kid, you haven't bought the rice yet, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
"Brother, can you see Brother Sun Wei earlier?"
Huo Ying shook his head helplessly, "He's out of town, and won't be back for a while. You, buy the rice first, you don't even want to eat?"
At this time, Sun Wei followed Wang Luanhe and accompanied Wang Jinyi's grandmother to the north. Under the order of the head of Xunyang family, he went to serve the young lady.
The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes. The scenery along the way is bleak, and the towering city walls look like a brave warrior who has fought in many battles, holding a sharp blade and looking down at everyone coldly.
My grandmother kept urging everyone to hurry up along the way, so that the journey that would normally take more than four days could be shortened to three days.
After attending the elementary school ceremony, Wang Jinyi and her mother returned to Bac Ninh Prefecture. When they heard that their grandmother had arrived, the mother and daughter led a group of people to the second gate to greet her.
The parents of the Wang family of Xunyang came in person. The happy great-aunt hurriedly took the female family members to the second gate to welcome them. The two elders held each other and welcomed them into the second gate amidst the crowd.
The women of the two families followed their elders to the upper courtyard. According to seniority, Wang Jinyi was at the back and followed them in.
Zhu Yu pulled the young lady's sleeve. Wang Jinyi turned around and saw Wang Luanhe saluting to her outside the second gate from afar. Wang Jinyi raised her hand to signal, but Zhu Yu held her hand.
A group of people came to the main hall of the upper house.
After the elders sat down, there was a round of greetings, and then they introduced the younger generations to each other. The great-aunt specially praised the eldest granddaughter Wang Yuwen. Wang Jinyi guessed that the great-aunt must have a special meaning in doing so, so the whole family met and held a banquet to welcome her.
I only had the chance to talk to my grandmother in detail after returning to Qinfangzhai.
My mother personally poured tea for my grandmother, served it respectfully, and sat down at the bottom.
"This time it's my turn to accompany Jin'er. Shuli will go to Beijing for the spring examination next spring, so you need to make arrangements in advance and leave for Beijing early.
The family prepared a house in the capital to prepare for the students to take the imperial examination. Although people were sent there, there still had to be someone in charge.
You and Shuli should go first, pack everything, and go early. You won’t have to rush on the road, and it will take about a month or two to get there.”
"What? It takes two months to walk? It takes two months to walk to where?" Wang Jinyi asked curiously.
"Jin'er, don't interrupt!" the mother hurriedly stopped her.
"Oh! By the way, there is something about Jin'er here. You have a manager under you named Wang Jin, right?"
Wang Jinyi nodded in confusion: “Grandma, yes, what’s wrong with him?”
"Your grandfather wanted to give the people around you a chance to train, so he sent him to the mansion in the capital at the beginning of the month to temporarily serve as a steward. This was to train him and also to prepare manpower for you in the future."
"Grandma, I can't go to Beijing to take the exam?!"
"Silly child, but you have to get married, and you have to prepare yourself a capable man!
Your family will review all the people around you and give them a chance to see who is the most suitable to marry you in the future."
"what……?"
Wang Jinyi listened to the conversation between her grandmother and mother, and a ripple appeared in her heart:
Where are you, the person who was so compatible with me in my previous life? Please show up soon!
My market conditions are so good that I can hardly bear it!
Chen Sanlang, who was far away in Xunyang City, sneezed for no apparent reason.
The grandmother looked at her well-behaved granddaughter lovingly, "Jin'er, I brought Wang Luanhe to you. Beining is suitable for recuperation in the winter, and then sorting out the affairs of the workshop.
Just tell them to do whatever they want, and you can just focus on healing your wounds."
"Grandma, I want to go home. I miss my home, my grandfather, my father, and my brother... I want to go home!"
The mother's eyes were full of pity, and she reached out to hold her daughter's hand: "Silly child, you are seriously injured, you need to be taken care of! This winter is very important, you must not catch a cold."
Wang Jinyi nodded obediently and responded in a low voice: "Jinyi understands, but I can't bear to leave my family."
The mother comforted him: "Silly child, everyone in the family is thinking about you, it is important to take good care of your health..."
Grandma started talking about the house in the capital again, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked a lot.
The next day, my mother rode her bike back to Xunyang early in the morning. Needless to say, the Wang family of Beining saw her off.
The cold wind from the north blew across the corners of the clothes of the people who were seeing them off, and Wang Jinyi couldn't help but shiver. Zhu Yu put the cloak on the young lady, and both grandmothers saw it.
"Go back!"
"Yes! The wind in our northern land is very cold! Let's go!"
The grandmother came over and took Wang Jinyi's hand. Her cold little hand startled her grandmother, who couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey!"
My great-aunt saw it and took it to heart, and she also had different thoughts.
After returning to Qinfangzhai, Wang Jinyi sat on the warm kang, still thinking absentmindedly about what his mother and grandmother had said.
She understood that her family was doing this for her own good, but the longing for her hometown was like a thread that was difficult to cut off.
Family members and hometowns from past and present lives are all intertwined, and it is hard to tell which is more important. Only one person seems to be a special existence, and his importance in my heart cannot be measured.
Where are you?! I have been looking for you for more than six years, but there is no news? What went wrong?!
Zhu Yu called softly from the side:
"Miss, Wang Luanhe brought the general ledgers of several workshops. This is the couplets copied in literary and vernacular Chinese for this month, and this is the assessment results of the training school for this month.
"Miss, Wen Bai has already escorted Lu Chuan home. Her reward will be credited to your private account. I'll put it all here for you."
Zhu Yu reported everything in detail and then helped the young lady wash up and rest.
The little maid Yi Yi didn't say a word the whole time and just did what she was told.
Another person who has always remained silent in the room is Jade Pure Immortal. She always silently guards in an inconspicuous place, and sometimes even makes Wang Jinyi ignore this person's existence.
Only the Feng sisters knew that this was the power that silently protected the young lady together with themselves.
The autumn wind in the north was as sharp as a knife, shaving off all the autumn leaves on the ground. Wang Jinyi, who had just finished drinking warming tea and went out, looked at the swirling withered leaves, which took away all the colorful flowers in the yard, and couldn't help sighing.
After this winter, I will have been in this world for nearly seven years. In this era of early marriage, I started dating when I was ten years old. Will Chen Zhiyuan be the same, or has he already been engaged or married?!
I really didn't dare to think further! I exhaled lightly, and then looked up to see two tall figures standing under the bare branches swaying in the cold wind.
Wang Luanhe was wearing a navy blue robe with narrow sleeves. Three things were hung under the wide belt with filigree patterns on his waist. One was the dark green clan emblem unique to the Wang family's steward, and the other was the jade token given to him by Wang Jinyi when he appointed him as steward.
The other was an exquisite purse with a colorful silk ribbon hanging on it. Wang Jinyi subconsciously turned around to glance at Sister Feng, who quickly avoided the young lady's gaze and looked away.
A man’s purse is given by his lover or wife. Does Wang Luanhe have a crush on someone?
