This was the first time Jiang Sheng saw the general leaving Beijing.
There are not as many ceremonials as when going out on an expedition, but there are also in-laws, family members, officials and friends to see them off.
Manager Wu from Tianjia's side all came, with a respectful and gentle attitude.
Her father looked so majestic in his cape, tall and mighty, and he was different from usual.
He has a heavy responsibility, he is a general, he has to go to the imperial city to resign, and he has to say goodbye to his old friends.
So he couldn't pass by the small courtyard like before, pinch the fat girl's arm and shake it, and then worry about the difference between men and women and let go.
Jiang Sheng told herself to be sensible, to understand that her father was busy, and that the aristocratic family had so many friends. No matter how much she longed for it, she would just hide in the corner and watch quietly.
Jiang Jizu, on the other hand, saw Fang Heng coming on horseback, glanced at the last few children in the crowd, smiled and exchanged greetings with Manager Wu, then dismounted and came forward.
He was so tall that the shadow cast by just the rising sun could cover the little girl.
"Daddy." Jiang Sheng whispered and called softly.
Jiang Jizu said with a straight face, "You still know that I am your father, why didn't you come to see me off?"
"I..." Jiang Sheng lowered his head, "Daddy is busy."
What a pitiful little girl. Jiang Jizu could no longer hold back and quickly bent down, "Daddy is not busy. Daddy just thought that you wanted to say goodbye to your eldest brother, so he didn't bother you."
Therefore, the two of them were considerate of each other, but in the end neither one accompanied the other.
Jiang Sheng raised his head in astonishment, "I thought Daddy had a lot of things to do. I thought Daddy was going to be busy."
In fact, the general cannot leave Beijing quietly, but that doesn't mean he can't spend time with his family. God knows how melancholy General Jiang is sitting in the yard, looking at the moon in the sky.
I thought I was being kind and didn't bother, but I didn't expect it was all a misunderstanding.
It's a pity that the time is approaching, so he can only smile and push Jiang Sheng's little ball head, just like when he came, cautious and a little happy.
"Daddy, please wait for me." Jiang Sheng also reacted, hurriedly climbed onto the carriage, and took out the packages one by one, "I prepared these for daddy. My brother has it, and daddy has it."
She has a stupid mouth and is not very good at expressing emotions.
She is a child who was found halfway, without having been with her for more than ten years.
But in her heart, when she recognizes him, she is her father, and when she calls him, she is her relative.
My brother has it, and my father has it.
These eight simple words made Jiang Jizu's eyes turn red, and he laughed at himself for not being as sincere as a child.
"Third brother's clothes and shoes were all sewn by my aunt, but my aunt is already married and can't sew them for dad, so I go to the garment shop to buy dad's clothes. I choose the softest and most comfortable ones, which are quite expensive." Jiang Sheng said. A little bee, working diligently back and forth.
But in the blink of an eye, there were dozens of packages on the ground.
The general was still immersed in emotion and did not react.
But Fang Hengxin couldn't bear it. He coughed twice and then coughed twice again to remind the father and daughter that they were all riding horses!
They don't have a carriage! ! !
"Daddy, I'll give it all to you." After finally cleaning up everything, Jiang Sheng rested his hands on his hips and gasped.
Jiang Jizu finally came to his senses, the smile on his face froze.
So many...more than ten or twenty packages, almost the size of three or four human heads, roughly estimated to be twenty or thirty kilograms.
They were driving so fast that the carriage couldn't keep up.
But seeing the joy on the eldest daughter's face, Jiang Jizu couldn't say no.
Until the personal guard came forward and whispered, "General, we can spread out on our backs."
Although it’s a bit heavier, a bit tiring, and a bit hard.
But these are all the lady’s wishes.
To put it another way, you can eat even if you are hungry on the road.
Jiang Jizu glanced at the guards who had followed him for many years, and then glanced at Fang Heng, who was thoughtful, not wanting to force anyone to do anything difficult, "If anyone is willing to carry it, just carry it. If you don't want to..."
Before he finished speaking, the personal guard rushed forward, grabbed a package and wrapped it around him, "My subordinate is willing."
"My subordinates are also willing." The remaining boys swarmed over.
One for you and one for me, and soon all the packages on the floor will be cleaned up.
Still not satisfied with what he didn't grab, he kept an eye on the other packages looming behind the carriage's curtain.
Fang Heng got an idea and waved his hand quickly, "That's ours, hurry up."
As soon as Jiang arrived at Jiangba, all six people rushed over, one person grabbed a share, and the rest was divided among the guards.
The carriage that was originally full became empty in an instant.
The guards carrying the packages were in a jubilant mood, as if they had picked up some good treasure.
In fact, this weight is a burden and a burden for them, and is the culprit of shoulder and neck pain.
However, Jiang Jizu managed the army well and was deeply loved. The guards would rather work hard and be tired than help the general take away his things.
This is love, respect that no amount of money can buy.
Jiang Sheng stared blankly, suddenly bursting with unparalleled pride.
Look, that's her dad.
"General, it's almost time." Someone greeted from the front.
Jiang Jizu bent down again, carefully examined her round eyebrows, and finally touched her head, "Daddy is gone."
Jiang Sheng resisted saying anything and just nodded.
"Third brother is leaving too." Fang Heng grinned.
Jiang Sheng's eyes were red and he was still restraining himself.
She can't cry. If she cries, her father and brother will be sad.
She wants to be happy and say goodbye with a smile.
The team of hundreds of people began to move, and Jiang Jizu took the lead and galloped away.
The cloak fluttered fiercely behind them, not only the wind's reluctant chant, but also the guide for the team to move forward.
Those young and heroic men, after all, are rushing towards the battlefield, facing the danger of fighting, with the expectation of returning home.
Jiang Sheng curled her mouth and couldn't hold back howling. She ran staggeringly and shouted heartbreakingly, "Daddy, you have to come back soon."
Come back soon, everyone.
Fang Heng walked at the back of the team, waving to his siblings, then looked at his eldest brother in official uniform, and earnestly cupped his fists and handed them over.
Yes, official uniform.
Today, in addition to seeing off Fang Heng, I also saw off Xu Mo as he took office.
If they had no choice but to separate two years ago and were forced to leave far away, then now they have their future in mind and their ambitions in all directions.
The men and women who have reached the mountainside will eventually meet at the top.
The city gates were silent as they bid farewell to the expedition thousands of miles away.
It wasn't until the figure of the rider completely disappeared that the crowd turned around and said goodbye to each other.
Jiang Sheng was stopped by Jiang Jizong, comforted him a few words softly, said goodbye and returned to his brothers.
The atmosphere of parting is always sad, and the loved ones who have passed away are still in the heart.
It was Zheng Ruqian who was the first to break the silence, laughing nonchalantly, "After seeing off the third child, it's time to see off the eldest brother."
Xu Mo, who was wearing a blue official robe and looked upright, turned around and nodded gently, "Let's go."
Let's go our separate ways.
Let's go, let's each climb to the top.
Let's go, see you someday!
