The third day of September is a good time to travel.
Su Wan and Li Lin left the Imperial City and arranged everything before leaving. Everything she could move in Jingpingyuan had been given away. There were not many left, including the Zhang family, the guards, the Gao family and his wife, and Aunt Zheng followed and left together.
The house invited six retired veterans from the Yue Family Army to serve as bodyguards and stay to guard the courtyard. Azhu also stayed to take care of the things that Su Wan could not take away, as well as the maids who were responsible for cleaning, cooking and managing the garden.
In the first half of her life, A-Zhu was the personal maid of the noble daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. Among the maids, she was considered to be the most prestigious one. In the second half of her life, after the death of the Yue family, she lived in loneliness and peace. Here, living the rest of her life day by day, even Su Wan, the master's biological daughter, cannot let her care too much.
The rest of his life will probably be spent slowly guarding the empty mansion.
Su Wan once wanted to persuade her, but she was stubborn and aloof and wouldn't listen at all. In the end, he had no choice but to let her go and give her a place to settle down so that she could have no worries for the rest of her life. Tried my best.
On the day they left, people from the Jinning Palace and the Zhenguo Palace came to see them off. The Song family and Qu Lingzhu also came, Princess Rujin also arrived, and even the students with whom Li Lin had good relations came. Friends also came together.
Su Jian and Yue Zhen were traveling with them, and wanted to send them to Shiqiao Village to settle down before coming back.
The things that could be transported earlier have been transported, and now there are not many, but not many, left. Among them, there are six carriages, three of which are occupied by people, and the rest are used to load luggage.
Su Wan took one car, the Zhang family took another, and the remaining car was arranged for Nanny Zheng and Xiao Sang Xiaofei to be escorted, while the rest of the people rode horses.
The group of people said goodbye in front of the Jingpingyuan gate. Su Wan accepted everyone's Cheng Yi and stood with Li Lin to talk to everyone.
"There's no need to give it away. It's not like I won't come back in the future." Seeing Su Xun's reluctance to leave, Su Wan felt a little sad. "If father has some free time, he can take mother and A Luo to have a look. I heard Jing Yuan say It’s very good over there.”
Su Xun said: "Let's talk about it when we have free time."
In fact, whenever he has any free time now, he has become a minister. It is not like he was a small official in the past. He just went to answer questions and turned around and left. He was very cool. Now, he is doing a lot of things day by day.
"No matter how busy he is, father must take care of his health and never get too tired."
Su Xun nodded: "Don't worry, your mother is here. Take care of yourself. If anything happens, write to me."
Su Xun arranged two more guards for Su Wan two days ago. The guards were formerly under Duke Jinning and were quite capable. He was afraid that Su Wan would not have a guard of his own. If anything happened between the husband and wife in the future, she would There isn't even a useful person left.
When Su Wan got married, she was originally going to be accompanied by a bunch of maids, stewards, and stewardesses, but she arranged the places for all the second-class maids in the yard, and she also returned the shop in the dowry to the house. He also continued to manage the shop and returned to Jinning Duke's Mansion.
Now, the only people under her are Manager Lin and the stewards of various shops and farms, and these are also left in the Imperial City. As a result, there is really no one left.
Su Wan thought about it and thought it would be good to have two guards, so he agreed.
Su Wan said: "Father, don't worry, A Wan will write to father from time to time."
"And A Luo, you have to listen to your elders, do you understand?"
Su Luo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and rubbed her little hands again and again: "Sixth sister, A Luo knows."
Su Wan said goodbye to everyone in turn, and then got on the carriage. When the carriage started to move, when she looked back from the carriage window, she saw her relatives and friends standing there watching her leave, with the gate of Jingpingyuan behind her. Close slowly.
There was sadness and reluctance in her heart, as if something had been separated from her body, her heart ached slightly, and she felt like crying.
Following Li Lin to Shiqiao Village was something she had always thought about when she was in her boudoir. She just felt that life in the Imperial City was too difficult, especially the battles that went on day by day. There was no stability, and she might die if she was not careful. .
And in everything I do, I am thinking about giving face to whom, and what I cannot do.
It's really tiring.
She expected to have a place with green mountains and green waters, where she would have no worries about food and clothing, and live her life quietly and leisurely. She would have nothing to do with the power disputes outside.
Perhaps at that time, the relationship between her and these relatives was not so deep, and she was not so reluctant to let go. Now she is really reluctant to let go.
I couldn't let go of my father, A Luo, my grandmother, and many others.
The carriage pressed across the ground and walked slowly forward. It wasn't until no one was in sight that she sat back down and looked at the carriage quietly, calming down the thoughts in her heart.
After leaving this time, the many grievances and grievances in the Imperial City are really far away from her. Perhaps she can only know some grievances or events in other people's words.
She thought that as long as the Jinning Palace and the Zhenguo Palace were safe, those things really had nothing to do with her at all.
The carriage slowly left the street and soon left the city gate. Not long after leaving the city gate, Xiao Sang and Xiao Wei got on the carriage to accompany her.
By this time, Su Wan had already calmed down. Except for the red circles under his eyes, he couldn't see anything wrong with him before.
Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei have been by her side for so many years, so they don't understand her at all. They remained silent at this moment and quietly took out a small bamboo basket to weave velvet flowers.
When Su Wan was drawing jewelry styles for the shop, she remembered how to make velvet flowers, so she also painted many velvet flower styles. Later, she and Mrs. Zhang, Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei learned them all.
It is quite easy to make velvet flowers. You can occasionally see them when you are free to watch videos in modern daily life. After watching it a few times, you can remember the general idea. If there is anything wrong, you can fix it by doing some research.
She would also make some to pass the time, and Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei would also make them. Occasionally, she would make them to wear herself, or find a shop to sell them to make some income, but Su Wan didn't care about it.
As long as the two of them do what they need to do, they can arrange their own private time.
Seeing the two people taking out bamboo baskets to make velvet flowers, she had nothing to do, so she also got some silk threads and planned to play with them.
Seeing that she was interested in playing with these things, Xiao Sang and Xiao Bao looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, just don't feel sad anymore.
The carriage was walking on the road. Su Wan was leaning on a soft pillow, holding a thin silver wire in his hand and forming a circular radial shape. Then he pasted a piece of green paper on the front and back, and pressed his fingers on the veins of the silver wire. , and then cut out the surrounding area to create a realistic lotus leaf.
The remaining silver wire is thinly wound with a green line to make the handle.
She lowered her head, quietly doing what she was doing, and waiting for the passage of time.
