Chapter 964: Madam, do you want to go together?

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Much better."
"That's good."
Lier felt relieved and said with a smile: "Yesterday I was terrified. I saw Aunt Ruo Shi was so uncomfortable and thought she was going to be like last time."
I glanced at her, but saw that she suddenly remembered something, pursed her lips, and turned to the window.
The atmosphere still hasn't gotten any relief.
Pei Yuanxiu and I sat so quietly. Even if his eyes were gentle and calm, he couldn't give any reassurance at this moment. On the contrary, the sound of the monotonous wheels bumping against the stone road made this section boring. The journey has become extremely long and boring.
Fortunately, there is an end to the long journey.
When we finally heard the surging sound of the river flowing in the distance, the carriage stopped, and Pei Yuanxiu got out of the carriage first. After he held the child away, he turned around and extended his hand to me.
I reached out and was tightly held by him, then half-armed and half-carried out of the car.
As soon as I stood still, I looked up and saw a ship docked at the dock. Unlike the huge seaboats that docked yesterday, this one is smaller, but more exquisite and comfortable than ever. From the bow to the stern, the guards lined up neatly. They looked extraordinarily solemn, looked up from the children, and immediately opened their eyes in surprise, "Wow".
She turned back and asked, "Is that here to pick me up?"
Pei Yuanxiu and I were silent for a while, then nodded.
At this time, I saw a team of men and horses, and Wu Yanqiu came down from the boat.
When he saw us, he smiled and stepped forward before saluting, "I've seen my son, and my wife."
Pei Yuanxiu also arched his hand: "Master Wu, I haven't seen you in a long time."
I also smiled at him.
I am not surprised that Wu Yanqiu is still in Jiangnan now, and I am not surprised that today he went to this dock to welcome Lier. After all, the behavior of Pei Yuanzhang yesterday has actually greatly surpassed. If you were at the dock yesterday, Up, even if a person waved a knife or shot a cold arrow, he could kill the ninety-five Supreme!
Maybe, sometimes, there is no way to regulate by ritual law, reason, or human status, or any kind of rules. After all, what he saw was his daughter who had been separated for many years.
However, after waking up, I guess he returned to Yangzhou last night. He must have been kneeled by some old ministers and old scholars. After all, the emperor is the root of the country. He risked himself in this way. Life and death are related to the future situation in the Central Plains, and are more likely to affect the lives and deaths of millions of people.
So today, he is clearly awake, and he did not go to the dock again.
Even, I can't guarantee that he will be on this ship.
After seeing Li, Wu Yanqiu leaned down and smiled gently at Lier: "Miss Li, please get on the boat."
Lier nodded, but did not step forward immediately, but raised his head to look at us, and said, "Are you going to go together?"
Pei Yuanxiu shook his head.
"why?"
"Ada has a lot of things. I don't have time to play today."
"Oh……"
Lier mumbled with a pity, and then turned to look at me.
But before she could speak, Wu Yanqiu next stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Mrs., do you want to go together?"
"..."
I froze suddenly.
Originally, my prepared rhetoric was almost the same as that of Pei Yuanxiu. It was inevitable to invite us to go out to play together, and it was almost inevitable. Neither Pei Yuanxiu nor I could easily set foot on the boundary of Yangzhou, especially In the case of Pei Yuanzhang in Yangzhou!
But now, it was not Lili that invited me, but Wu Yanqiu.
No, not even Wu Yanqiu!
He is just a waiter, and the master can't do this. It is Pei Yuanzhang who asked him to come and go, so of course he also made this mouth-Pei Yuanzhang!
My face suddenly sank.
Not only me, but also Pei Yuanxiu's face sank slightly.
Li Er, who stood aside, didn't feel the entanglement in it, but said to me happily, "Yes, do you want to go with me?"
"I……"
"Yangzhou is fun. When I was in Yangzhou with my third uncle, I saw a lot of fun things and a lot of delicious things."
"..."
"Mother, will you go together?"
Feeling her hand holding my sleeve and shaking it slightly twice, I didn't speak, but slowly raised my head to look at the ship docked at the dock.
On the bow, behind the guards in the procession palace, there seems to be a person standing, but he did not stand with his hand in the most dazzling position of the bow, as he did on the huge sea boat before, but was quiet. Standing behind the crowd, he looked at everyone on the dock with his dark and deep eyes.
Maybe it's just someone.
I settled, and then smiled and said to Lier, "Mother will not go."
"why?"
"Because there are still many things in the house that need to be handled by the mother. After leaving so long, the mother must also do it."
"Oh……"
It's a pity that Lier pouted again and glanced at me again: "Isn't it a day?"
I smiled and shook my head: "No way."
Lier sighed.
I reached out and rubbed the top of her head, then raised my head to Wu Yanqiu on the side, smiling, and said, "On this way, it is troublesome for Master Wu to take care of the children."
He looked at me with a complex look, and immediately laughed: "Mrs. talked a lot, and the matter of Miss Li should be given first priority."
I smiled and ordered Lier to "don't bother people" and "don't run around", she also listened to them one by one, agreed, and then asked me: "Well, mother and Will Dad wait here to come back? "
"Of course," I said, and I glanced up at Wu Yanqiu. "Mother and Dad will pick you up here, you remember promised mother, will not run around, will definitely come back obediently."
Wu Yanqiu understood my voice outside of the string and smiled and came forward: "Please be assured that the son and wife, the master has also ordered, today's official affairs are piled up in the study, and they will deal with it on time."
"..."
It means that staying with the child is a private matter, but the private matter will not disturb his time to deal with his state affairs after a long time.
With such a guarantee, I ca n’t say that I completely let go of my heart. I was relieved a little, and then Li left and followed Wu Yanqiu. I watched her walk on the huge lintel, and she walked away on both sides for a few years. , But the clever maid seemed to come to serve her, and as soon as she boarded the ship, she immediately stepped out of the boat with a familiar outstretched hand, holding her little hand.
It's Pei Yuanzhang.
Looking at him from a distance, today I put on a blue and white gown, and a jade belt was tied around the waist, and there was a jade pendant that could not see what shape it was, and I even held a hand Moonlight fan. That was the clothes I had never seen before for so many years. It seemed to be extraordinarily leisurely, but it was calm and restrained with him, and even had a strange sense of stupidity.
However, it may be because when looking down at Lier, his eyes are too gentle, and when smiling at Lier, his smile is too gentle, so he is not too obtrusive.
After looking at each other with a smile, they both turned around and looked at us on the dock.
Pei Yuanxiu and I stood on the pier, and for a while both of them didn't talk, just watched them quietly, until Lier held one hand with him, and one hand waved towards us happily, and I barely made She smiled and waved at her.
Pei Yuanxiu also waved.
Then, when the hands of the two of us were lowered, his hand slowly stretched over and held my hand.
The eyes of the man on the ship were still dark and deep, and he could not see any change in his expression at this moment, but only after the people around him came forward and said something, he pulled away and turned towards the cabin. .
When he finally looked back at us, Pei Yuanxiu held my hand slightly hard.
The boat slowly turned around and sailed towards Yangzhou.
We at the dock were still standing there silently. I watched the ship getting farther and farther, and the boatman's hoaring horn was gradually lost in the snoring of the river. After a while, the wide river surface On the boat, there was only a small shadow left, advancing in the tens of millions of sparkling waves reflected by the sun.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at me and said softly, "Let's go back."
I didn't speak, and looked at it for a while, the ship had disappeared into the mist.
Then I looked back at him and nodded slightly.
The hand that he held me on was never let go. At this time, he kept holding me around and walked. Two people walked to the carriage. He still held my hand in one hand and supported it in the other. Holding me on the waist, I was put on a carriage.
Then he came up himself.
Soon, the driver raised his whip and hit a loud whistle in the air, the carriage began to move forward slowly, the wheels bumped against the stone road, and the sound of gurgling was endless as when it came.
But this time, there was no quarrel of Lier, and she was not involved in the middle. I and he sat on the side of the carriage, and the carriage was very wide, leaving a large space in the middle, as if there was nothing invisible. , An unknown thing traverses between us.
Invisible, and famous, is silence.
I feel that he has something to tell me, and I have a lot of questions to ask him, but it seems that both sides are waiting for each other to speak first, and then it becomes a deadlock.
Everyone wants to break, but no one wants to break.
