Returning from the Tianmen Temple to the Governor's Mansion, he got off the carriage at the second gate.

The servant got the news early and brought the soft sedan.

The maid supported Gu Yue on the soft sedan chair.

Xie shi said: Take care of the three girls, if you need anything, ask someone to go to the upper room and tell me.

Slave obeys. Several little maids bowed to lead the order, accompanied Gu Yue, and went back to the room together.

Xie turned back and looked at Gu Jiu and the others.

You also go back to your room to rest. It's only a few days before returning to Beijing, so you should pack up quickly. Don't wait until the time of departure, and you will be in a hurry.

Yes!

The crowd dispersed.

Xie Shi returned to the upper room with a gloomy face.

She was worried.

Although Mama Ping denied everything, Mrs Xie was still uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, we will soon leave for Beijing.

As long as it is far away from the northwest, the most worrying thing should not happen.

night.

Master Gu came to the upper room for dinner.

I heard that today at Tianmen Temple, Yue'er was wrestling, or Pei Dalang sent her back to her room?

Mrs Xie nodded, I was about to talk to the master about this. When Yue'er was going down the steps, she said that her foot slipped and she accidentally fell down. At that time, Mr. Pei happened to be nearby, and seeing that Yue'er injured her ankle, she couldn't Walking, so I took the initiative to send Yue'er back to the room.

Master Gu asked blankly, Is Yue'er's injury serious?

Xie said, It will be fine after two days.

Master Gu nodded.

Mrs. Xie sat down beside Mr. Gu, Master, the concubine is thinking about how to thank Young Master Pei. I will ask the master to make up his mind on this matter.

Master Gu said with a serious face: You don't have to worry about this matter, I will arrange for someone to handle it. Remember, don't have more contacts with Luhou Mansion.

Xie's heart panicked, Is there a problem with Luhou Mansion?

Master Gu stared at Xie Shi.

He didn't forget that at the banquet last time, the Xie family tried to plot against the daughter of Marquis Lu.

Being stared at by Master Gu's eyes, Mrs Xie was not guilty but became guilty.

She asked cautiously, Does the lord have something to say?

Master Gu solemnly reminded Xie Shi, Let's treat Yue'er as an accident and don't bring it up in the future.

Xie nodded again and again, My concubine thought the same thing. When I was in Tianmen Temple, I had already issued a seal order to my servants, and no one was allowed to mention this.

Master Gu nodded with satisfaction, It's very good for Madam to handle it like this.

After a pause, Master Gu said again: Luhou's mansion looks magnificent, but I don't know that it is already cooking oil. People like us can't avoid it in time, so how can we take the initiative to communicate with Luhou's mansion. The capital is now The situation is unclear. At this time, it is better to do more than one less thing. Does Madam understand what it means to be a husband?

Mrs Xie nodded, My concubine understands. Don't worry, my lord, my concubine will not take the initiative to communicate with Luhou Mansion, nor will she have any unrealistic thoughts.

Master Gu stared at Mr. Xie, and could see that Mr. Xie didn't tell a lie. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Luhou Mansion.

Master Gu nodded secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The instability of the backyard will only drag down his career.

It's so good that Xie Shi can be of one mind with him.

Master Gu said to Mrs. Xie: The departure date has been set. The sixteenth of this month is the auspicious day of the zodiac. At that time, we will go to Beijing with the officials of Taipu Temple.

When Xie Shi heard this, he smiled happily.

There are still more than ten days before the sixteenth. Don't worry, sir, with so much time, all the luggage must have been packed by then.

Master Gu said: I'll leave these matters to you. Take what you need to bring back to the capital, and leave what you don't need to stay in the northwest.

Don't worry, sir, my concubine knows.

Xie Shi was very happy, and the last worry in his heart was gone with the wind.

After the departure date was set, the backyard of the Governor's Mansion became more and more busy.

People are busy packing their bags.

The bulky luggage has already been sent to the capital first.

Inside the Zhilan Courtyard, boxes and cages were neatly placed on the ground.

After a while, the wives will come to carry these boxes and cages and transport them to the capital in batches.

Qingmei is still cleaning up.

The weather is cold, so I have to prepare some more winter clothes for the girl to wear on the road. I heard that the capital is extremely cold in winter.

Gu Jiu smiled and said: No matter how cold the winter in the capital is, it will not be cold in the northwest. Qingmei, you don't have to worry about my freezing. Three or five pieces of clothes to wear on the road are enough. All other luggage will be handed over to the mother-in-law. Son, get it to the capital early.

Qingmei shook her head again and again, That's not good. What if the girl freezes on the road.

Qingmei took a breath and prepared ten pieces of clothes for Gu Jiu to wear on the road.

Gu Jiu shook her head and smiled. Forget it, it's up to Qingmei.

Qingmei, don't forget my books. The road is boring, so bring a few more books to read on the road.

Qingmei replied, Don't worry, girl, the servant has prepared a box of books for the girl. Enough for the girl to read on the road.

Gu Jiu nodded, so good.

Xiao Cui came in from outside, Sister Qingmei, the old lady is here. Ask which cages you want to carry away?

The boxes and cages in the yard have to be carried away. Forget it, I will tell them personally. If these women don't stare at them in person, the luggage in the boxes will be ruined by them.

After Ome finished speaking, she hurried out the door.

Gu Jiu was sitting by the window, and Qingmei's voice came from outside.

She laughed. Recently, Qingmei has been heartbroken.

While busy making her winter clothes, busy packing.

The little maids of Zhilan Academy, it's okay to do normal things. To make them as capable as Ome, it's really not enough.

Therefore, there are more places for Ome to worry about.

Dozens of boxes and cages were carried away one by one by the mother-in-law, loaded into cars, and transported to the capital.

Qingmei also went out with her own eyes, and watched with her own eyes that the old women placed the cages on the carriage, and then returned to the Zhilan Courtyard with confidence.

Qingzhu came back from the outer courtyard, and when he entered the door, he met Qingmei.

She asked casually, Have you finished packing?

Qingmei nodded, The luggage has been removed. The rest of the luggage, go with the girl.

Qingzhu and Qingmei walked into the study together.

Qingzhu said: Girl, the slave followed your instructions and brought the words to Gui Momo. Gui Momo said that Erma's rules have been learned almost, so I asked the girl, when will Erma come to serve her? In addition, Gui Momo wanted Er Zhuang to follow the girl to the capital, she asked me to ask the girl's opinion.

Gu Jiu put down the book and said, Er Ya must first have a contract of betrayal before she can serve me by my side. As for Er Zhuang to go to the capital with me, is Gui Momo really willing?

Qingzhu nodded again and again, Mother Gui has repeatedly explained to the slaves that she must ask the girl. It can be seen that Mama Gui really hopes that Er Zhuang will follow her to the capital.

Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, Then let Er Zhuang follow me to the capital. After a few years, the industry in the northwest will become more formal, and then I will bring Gui Momo to the capital for retirement.

Qingzhu smiled and said, If Gui Momo knew about it, she would be very happy.

The move is going on quickly.

On the 16th day, the entire Prefect Mansion was almost evacuated.

The luggage has been loaded into the carriage.

Standing in the empty Zhilan courtyard, Gu Jiu felt a trace of reluctance in her heart.

Every flower and every grass here is familiar.

And then, as soon as he leaves today, he probably won't have the chance to come back in his life.

Soon, there will be a new owner here.

Qingmei waited beside Gu Jiu, Girl, it's time to go.

Gu Jiu nodded, Let's go.

She is going to the capital to start a new life.

At the second gate, get on the carriage.

Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui sat in the carriage with her.

The second door is noisy, moving is a big project, and on the day of leaving, there are still many things that have not been dealt with.

Xie's face was stern, extremely unhappy.

Especially when she saw Concubine Bai, who was supported by the maid, Shi Shiran came, her face was so gloomy that water could drip.

Aunt Bai came to Mrs Xie and said, This servant has seen his wife, and she has worked hard.

Xie Shi calmly stared at Concubine Bai's abdomen.

Concubine Bai was three or four months pregnant, and her belly was slightly pregnant.

Xie said indifferently: Get in the car. You have two bodies, so you must be careful on the road. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to say it. It's okay for you, but the child is very important. The master has been expecting you to add a baby to the family.

Bai Yiniang looked weak, The cheap concubine will keep his wife's orders in mind, and will not dare to be careless.

Xie Shi let out a hmm from his nose.

Concubine Bai was supported by the maid and got into the carriage.

Gu Lin was next to Aunt Bai and asked in a low voice, Auntie, are you all right?

Concubine Bai smiled and reassured Gu Lin, Don't worry about me. Remember what I said. On the way back to Beijing, talk less and read more, and don't be too aggressive in everything. We don't ask for anything else, but to reach the capital safely.

Gu Lin nodded heavily, Don't worry, Auntie, I will remember everything you said.

Good boy.

Aunt Hu also arrived at the second door.

Xie Shi glanced at her.

Aunt Hu bowed her head slightly and bowed to Mrs Xie.

Mrs Xie pulled her up, Sister, I trust you the most. You won't disappoint me, right?

Aunt Hu knew very well that Mrs. Xie was reminding her that the way back to Beijing was the best time to start.

Bai Yiniang must not be allowed to return to the capital with a big belly.

Concubine Hu lowered her head, avoiding Xie Shi's pressing gaze, Don't worry, madam, the maids and concubines understand.

Xie shi smiled with satisfaction, So good. I knew you were always reassuring.

Aunt Hu bowed to say goodbye and got into the carriage.

Gu Zhen asked curiously, Auntie, what do the words my wife said mean?

Aunt Hu said calmly, It's all trivial matters, you don't need to ask.

Gu Zhen pestered Aunt Hu, Auntie tell me.

Aunt Hu smiled and said, My wife is worried that after returning to the capital, someone will send a concubine to the master. I specially told me that if a new person enters the door, I must pay more attention.

Gu Zhen looked curious, Will someone really give it to my father or a woman?

Gu Zhen was a little embarrassed to say the word send a woman, feeling very ashamed.

Hu Yiniang nodded, After the master returns to Beijing, he will be the governor of the capital. The capital is a rich and noble place. At that time, someone will definitely send a concubine to the door. Some can refuse, some can't refuse. Ah!

Aunt Hu sighed with emotion, and her mood was very complicated.

Gu Zhen said, Don't worry about how many women my father has. Auntie, you have me and my fourth brother. If we leave, those women don't want to run wild in the house.

Concubine Hu laughed and patted the back of Gu Zhen's hand, You've got your mind. You can't talk about another ten or twenty days when you return to the capital. The road is very hard, stop talking and keep your spirits up.

Gu Zhen nodded, My daughter listens to my aunt.

No matter how chaotic going out, how many accidents happened, it was finally time to leave.

The convoy was mighty and went out of the Governor's Mansion.

Many people stood on both sides of the road watching and pointing.

Master Gu walked in front, and at Wuliting outside the city, his colleagues said their final goodbyes.

Gu Jiu lifted the curtains of the car and looked outside.

got windy.

Qingmei said: The weather is going to be cold. Fortunately, the girl's winter clothes are ready.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, These days, you have worked hard for you.

What the girl said, these are what slaves should do.

Mr. Gu said goodbye to his colleagues, and the team continued to move forward.

It was getting farther and farther away from Jinzhou City, and soon it became invisible.

Gu Jiu lowered the curtains of the car and took out a book to read.

The journey is long, and only books can relieve loneliness.

Walk at sunrise, rest at sunset.

All the way, the boat and the car are tired, and it is getting closer and closer to the capital.

During this period, he encountered heavy rain and stayed at the inn for seven or eight days.

Mr. Xie made clear hints several times, reminding Aunt Hu to hurry up.

However, during the days of being trapped in the inn, Bai Yiniang kept herself locked in the room, and even had meals, she had the maid sent to the room.

From the day she entered the inn until she left the inn, Yiniang Bai hadn't stepped out of the door. Everything is settled in the room.

Aunt Hu was determined to do it, but couldn't find the opportunity.

In front of Mrs Xie, Aunt Hu also told the truth.

Madam, Concubine Bai seems to be vigilant and refuses to go out. The concubine has never been able to find a chance.

Xie shi frowned, This Concubine Bai is cautious. Since she doesn't go out, then think of another way.

Concubine Hu hesitated for a moment, Madam, the concubine thinks that the best time to start is when Concubine Bai is giving birth.

Xie shi stared at Aunt Hu, What do you mean?

Concubine Hu nodded, A woman gives birth to a child, and any accident will happen. Even if the child is gone, no one will doubt it. At this time, it is easy to leave behind the handle, which will lead to the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the master.

Xie Shi nodded secretly, You have some truth in what you said.

If you really want to do it when Concubine Bai gives birth, prepare now.

From the diet, from the miscarriage, from the doctor, start a little bit.

Directly make Bai Yiniang difficult to give birth to this child.

At that time, you don't have to do superfluous things, you can achieve what you want.

Mrs Xie laughed, It's hard on the road, Concubine Bai is pregnant with the master's child, so she has to instruct the kitchen to make more supplements for Concubine Bai. Eat more, and the child will grow strong.

Aunt Hu secretly looked at Mrs Xie, and it seemed that his wife had made up her mind.

Aunt Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to do it by herself and dirtying her hands.

The seven or eight days I stayed at the inn were spent safely.

Except for Gu Yue, Gu Gong felt bored and made a lot of noise, but everything went smoothly.

When the weather cleared and the road was half dry, the Gu family set off and continued to the capital.

Away from the capital, only the last few dozen miles are left.

Seeing that the capital was in sight, Master Gu suddenly made a decision not to go directly to the city today, but to stay at the post for one night and enter the city early in the morning.

The convoy entered the station.

Everyone settle down.

After washing up, Gu Jiu and the sisters came to greet the Xie family.

Gu Yue was the first to ask: Mother, it's still early, why don't you just go to the city and stay at the inn for one night?

There are only a few dozen miles left from the capital, and if you rush, you will definitely be able to enter the capital before the gates close.

Xie said, We were exhausted and exhausted. How can we meet people when we return to the capital like this. It's better to take a rest at the post station for a night to refresh our spirits and go to Beijing early in the morning.

I see!

Gu Yue asked again, Mother, are you going to the Hou's mansion tomorrow?

Xie shook his head, You don't need to go to the Hou's mansion tomorrow. I will take you to the Hou's mansion the day after tomorrow to greet you. When you arrive at the Hou's mansion, you have to cheer up.

Gu Yue laughed, Don't worry, mother, my daughter will do well and not embarrass you.

Xie said with a smile: It's not enough to perform well, you have to leave a good impression on the old ladies and ladies of the Hou Mansion.

Gu Yue nodded heavily.

Xie said again: I wonder if your aunt has cleaned up the yard of our second room.

Master Gu is the second in the family, and there is a brother who is a mother and compatriot.

Master Gu is a military general and an official in the capital.

Over the years, all things in the house have been taken care of by the big house of the Gu family.

The courtyard of the second room has not lived in it for many years.

Xie's heart was still a little worried, worried that her sister-in-law had not cleaned up the courtyard of the second room properly.

Back then, when she was righting, she had a lot of filth with that elder sister-in-law.
