Chapter 107: Sending a Fortune to the Allure (Part 2) (2)
If... I try to imagine, if it is He Xihe, if I am only Princess Yu, maybe, it's another scene. But these are destined to be my fantasy. Destined to only appear in dreams...
The carriage went all the way, and I kept sitting inside, looking at the world outside through the window. The trees pass by, and the air is full of the smell of warm sunlight, which is very comfortable.
In the evening, we arrived at the town mentioned by the guardian. After everything was settled, I went to the market and found a pawnshop. I took a piece of white jade fish to play with the jade pendant among the lotus leaves, pretended to be out of flowers, wrapped it around, and used it as a shop.
The quality of this jade pendant is not very good. If it is placed in the palace, it is just a gift to the and palace lady. But among the folks, this is a rare best. The guy at the pawnshop estimated that the value was far lower than it should be, but I didn't bargain much.
In fact, I just treated this jade pendant for the purpose that once Shen Xiyao discovered the fact that I was out of the palace, once he wanted to find me, this jade pendant would give him the illusion that I had gone to the northwest. Because this jade pendant is simple, but under the fish lips, there is a very small "Palace System".
When I left the jade pendant, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the boss holding the jade pendant, looking like I couldn't put it down. I believe he must be happy in his heart. He has made a fortune by all accounts, and once Shen Xiyao finds out here, if it is secret, then he will make another fortune.
After finishing the jade pendant, I searched for a garment shop in the town and bought some of the most common folk clothes, all of them men’s. After all, it is more convenient to pretend to be a man when you are away from home. When I returned to the inn where I was staying, when it got dark, I went to the guest room and found the leading escort. Standing outside the door, there was the sound of him chatting with other escorts.
"Dangdang" I knocked gently on the door.
"Who, come in."
"Big brother," I said with a dumb voice, lowering my head and saying, "Big brother, I have something to ask." He looked at me: "Little brother, what's wrong?"
I took a deep breath, pretending to be determined, but hesitantly said, "Big brother, let’s tell you, I actually ran out in a quarrel with the elders in my family. But now I regret it and still want to Go back. I'm here to tell Big Brother, I won't go with you tomorrow."
The master is not young, and hearing other names addressed to him along the way, I want to get married.
He looked at me up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Sure. I just met today the team that will return to Hanyang tomorrow, so you can go back with them. You are still young. Don't let this kind of running away happen again. ."
I nodded hurriedly. He walked to the room and took the silver to me: "Fortunately, I just set off. You can take the silver back."
I waved my hand again and again: "No, no, if I didn't go, you could still bring one. You can take this silver."
He shook his head, and several escorts next to him also said: "It's not easy to make money, so take it back, little brother. Besides, it's not bad for you." He squeezed it into my hand and said, "Go back and rest. Tomorrow morning. The convoy is about to leave."
Looking at the silver coin in my hand under the candlelight, my heart is warm.
Early the next morning, I followed the caravan back to Hanyang, but did not immediately choose the caravan to set off, but stayed in an inn. Because, since you have decided to start a new life, you must first think about it.
I stayed in this inn called "Fengya" for three days in a row. In fact, I have already thought about where to go and what to do. The reason for not leaving is because I am waiting. Although I know how unrealistic the expectations in my heart are, there are strong hopes deep in my heart.
I was waiting for the floating lamp that night, waiting for a figure.
He should have come to see me off. Just like when I sent him off. It's just that this time separation is hard to see again.
I only waited three days.
Although, I don't know how he knew of my departure. However, the song that night, the person that Xiao Er saw, must be him.
I waited for three days, but in three days there was nothing, whether it was the familiar figure or the familiar song.
My heart fell a little bit by bit, and on the last night, I lay quietly on the bed, tears falling bit by bit. I laughed at myself, and I was amorous. How could he offend his close relatives, the emperor and the queen mother, for the sake of a criminal woman, a person whose identity and name have been removed?
I went to sleep, and the next day, I would really forget who I was and set off on the journey.
The whole night, it was still silent. I slept in my loss the next day and joined a caravan heading to Jiangnan. There were a lot of people in the caravan, and there were a dozen large carriages. I sit in the middle car and try not to be noticeable. There were also five people in the same car. Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, but they were also happy. However, I was tired due to the days of running and did not regulate my body after a small childbirth. I gradually became weaker and groggy all day long, only feeling tired.
The convoy traveled for three days, and in the evening of that day, it was driving in a forest. I leaned on the innermost part of the carriage and listened to a businessman in the same carriage talking about my experience.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hoofs rushed past. For some reason, the sound of "Da Da" made my heart hang. There was a neigh of the horse, and the carriage came to a halt, and I heard a sound of footsteps and the voice of the chief escort.
"Who came from?"
There was a thief in front of me, and I couldn't hear it. But the heart is uneasy.
I know, he is here. However, I don't know what his purpose is here.
Is it to see me off or...
Small beads of sweat leaked from his forehead, and the palms of his hands were sweaty. If he came by order, how should I face it? If he comes for love, how should I respond?
She shrank inward, feeling cold on her body, and was about to take a robe to wear, but when she turned the package, she encountered a hard object on her hand.
My heart shrank, with a slight soreness and pain, and tightened again.
It is the wooden box that is important to me that I placed in the Kunning Palace. Although there is nothing valuable in it, it is full of my most beautiful memories. My hand is slowly rubbing the furoshiki. If this box is left in the palace, once it is discovered, it will inevitably bring trouble to Xihe and threaten my family.
After all, when I "disappeared" when Shen Xiyao was still attached to me, he would naturally treat my family well. But if... he knows the past between me and Xi He, that attachment will turn into anger, and it will be raised on my family.
But this box, if it were in my hands, would comfort me the most. Remind me that there used to be a person who loved me like a pearl, even if I burned memories for the rest of my life, this is enough to warm my heart.
The noise in front gradually stopped, but my heart hung higher. I heard footsteps, more than one person, but I dared not look out the car window.
I am afraid, afraid to see, not the person I want to meet.
I am even more afraid, afraid to see him.
The door curtain was suddenly opened, and a soft light came in. The golden light looked so warm, so warm that when I saw his face, I almost shed tears.
He stretched out his hand to me and looked at me with a smile warmer and softer than the sun. His eyes expressed his heart. What a pair of clear eyes, but I didn't dare to look directly.
"Vic..." He opened his mouth, and he uttered the word extremely softly, as if it were my illusion. He didn't seem to know how to call me, but his eyes were filled with joy and a smile.
All the people in the car turned their eyes on me.
Behind him is the leader escort, and the tall man said to me: "This guest, do you recognize this person?"
