At this time, the Ming Dynasty still had a certain weight in the hearts of many people. When banditry broke out, the people still believed that the Ming Dynasty had the strength to suppress it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Kong, Henan is already at peace." Xing Yun said to him with a smile.
After hearing this, Kong Yinfan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Peace is good. If there are still bandits in Henan, we can't go from Henan to Shanxi at all. If there are bandits, there will be no peace along the way." "
"Mr. Kong, don't worry, we will be safer in Henan than in Shandong." Xing Yun assured him.
Kong Yinfan nodded with relief and didn't think much about it.
He only thought that his son-in-law's family had connections in Henan, just like the Kong family in Qufu. The entire Yanzhou Prefecture, not even the court officials, dared to offend the Kong family in Qufu.
"I still feel uneasy because I can't see my daughter." The woman whispered to her man, and she didn't have much appetite to eat the pancake in her hand.
She left her family and career to go to Datong to join her son-in-law, but she couldn't settle down for a day, and her heart was always hanging.
Kong Yinfan held the woman's hand tightly with his own and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here. When you get to Datong, everything will be fine."
It is impossible to go back. The only way left is to go to the dark side and start a new life in Datong.
Their son Kong Shangyun ate the pancakes in his hands very enthusiastically.
When you are young, you will naturally have fewer worries.
Normally, he could only survive on some porridge at home, but since he left home, he can eat dry food every day and no longer has to rely on porridge or rice to cheat his stomach.
Although the journey was a bit tiring, he could eat such delicious food every day. He was willing to keep walking like this and not stop.
After comforting Kong Yinfan and his wife, the carriage set off on the road again.
Regarding situations like this, Kong Yinfan would ask about it basically every few days. The most frequently asked question was about his daughter Kong Yueqing.
This situation continued until Cao County.
Because in the grassland, Xing Yun finally caught up with Kong Yueqing's carriage, which had left Qufu first.
Only a squad of soldiers were sent from Datong to Qufu. In order to pick up Kong Yinfan's family, Xing Yun only brought one team to pick them up, and the remaining two teams were left to protect Kong Yueqing.
Now that the two teams have joined together, the three teams are finally in one place, and the security has been greatly enhanced.
"Qing'er, you haven't suffered any grievances these days!" The woman who came to Kong Yueqing's carriage asked about her daughter's situation with concern.
Kong Yueqing, who was riding in the same carriage, thought for a while and then said: "I am just rushing along the way. I have to say that I am not aggrieved. The guards are very polite."
"That's good." The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "The guards are being polite to you, which means there shouldn't be any big problems with your marriage. You must be marrying someone from a wealthy family."
Her daughter's marriage came in a hurry and ended hastily, so she always had a trace of doubt about the marriage.
But now even the son-in-law's guards are polite to the daughter, which proves that the daughter is indeed married to a person of high status and not sold to someone else by Kong.
Hearing this, Kong Yueqing understood the woman's worries and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, it's impossible for ordinary people to have such elite guards, and my daughter has noticed that the guards have three meals a day along the way. It’s dry. When I first started on the road, I ate meat, but later I probably stopped eating it because I ran out of meat. How can ordinary people afford to eat like this? It can be seen that the family my daughter married into is not an ordinary wealthy family.”
"But you said that for such a good family, why didn't the clan master marry off his daughter, but let your daughter from an ordinary clan family get married? Mom always finds it too strange." The woman expressed her worries. .
Kong Yueqing put her palm through the woman's arm, leaned her head against her, and said, "Maybe it's a renewal of the relationship. The clan master didn't want his daughter to be wronged, so he let his daughter get married."
All she could think of was renewing her relationship, otherwise why would she marry an unappreciated girl from the clan and marry her in such a hurry.
"You're not marrying a stupid person, are you?" The woman said a possibility, with a look of horror on her face.
After hearing this, Kong Yueqing shook her head slightly and said: "The person my daughter is really going to marry is a stupid person. The guards accompanying her have been treating her lightly for a long time. It is impossible to take good care of her daughter along the way, for fear that her daughter will die." A little thing.”
"Whether it's a renewal or not, I have wronged you, my daughter." The woman raised her hand and caressed Kong Yueqing's cheek.
Although she had never experienced the day of marrying an old man, she could still guess a little bit about it.
Kong Yueqing leaned her face on the woman's palm.
Although the woman's palms were very rough due to frequent work, they were the warmest place in her heart at this moment.
The woman who came back to her senses looked sideways at her daughter and asked, "By the way, have you asked the guards about your future husband?"
"I've asked about it, but my daughter doesn't know much about it. These guards don't seem to be willing to reveal the status of my daughter's husband," Kong Yueqing said.
The woman pushed her daughter's head away and straightened it up, and asked, "What did you find out? Tell me about it?"
"Yes!" Kong Yueqing recalled for a moment and then said, "My daughter knows that her future husband is the Liu family, and they live in the same family, but she doesn't know anything else."
"Oh, it's almost the same as what your father found out." The woman sighed.
I knew in my heart that these guards were very tight-lipped and no unnecessary information was revealed to them.
Kong Yueqing shook the woman's arm with her hand and said, "Okay, mother, if others don't tell us, let's stop asking. Everything will be revealed when we get to Datong."
"I hope so!" the woman sighed.
The future son-in-law is too mysterious and has become a worry for her.
As a mother, if she had no choice but to do so, how could she not marry her daughter to someone who knew nothing about her?
Boom!
The mother, who was sitting in the carriage and talking in small words, suddenly noticed a vibration in the carriage, and seemed to hear a thunderous sound in her ears.
The sound seemed to come from the front. The woman opened the curtain on the carriage window and looked forward.
Just one glance made her quickly pull her head back in fright.
"It's broken, it's broken, something happened, we encountered horse bandits." The woman's face was so frightened that she kept muttering the word horse bandits.
Kong Yueqing, who was in the same carriage, turned pale and asked nervously: "Mother, did you read that right? Are they really horse bandits?"
"Mom is definitely not wrong, the darkness is filled with bandits on horseback, coming towards us." The woman told Kong Yueqing what she had just seen.
Hearing this, Kong Yueqing became very nervous and at the same time stuck her head out of the car window, trying to take a look at the situation of the horse bandits.
