-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Fourth day.

In the early morning, before dawn, the Ningguo Mansion was full of lights and noisy.

After a few days of preparation, I arranged all the things that could be considered at home, and handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and I didn't officially leave until today.

The Patriarch of the Ningguo Mansion went out, and the middle door was wide open.

In front of the Patriarch's courtyard, Qin Shi, You Shi, Xiao Shuang'er, Xie Luan Peifeng, and You Shi's Shuang Shu waited here together to send Jia Qing out.

Jia Qing looked back at the beautiful and familiar faces, especially the teary-eyed Peifeng, his heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "You all go back."

What should be said has been finished before, but there is no need to be sensational at this time, so he turned around and left.

This trip is with official business, and the itinerary should be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, but it's not easy for me to bring a maid with me, it's too ostentatious.In fact, it would be fine if they only brought one with them, but it was even more difficult to do so, so they simply didn't bring one, anyway, they had been to Jiangnan last time.

After going out of the gate and getting on the horse, Jia Qing asked: "Miss Biao's carriage is ready?"

Steward Liu, whose name is Liu Tian, ​​who is in charge of land rents in Ningguo Mansion, said: "Go back to Second Master, it has already been prepared."

Lai Sheng couldn't leave Beijing because he had something to do, so Liu Tian led a team to take charge of the Ningguo Mansion's servants.He is also one of the stewards who made a contribution to saving Jia Jing last time.

At this time, the entire Ningrong Street was brightly lit, and both sides were also closed, and small traders were not allowed to enter for the time being.

The team started slowly and stopped in front of the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.

The manager of the Rongguo Mansion hurried up and said, "Second Master, please wait a moment, Miss Lin is still in the old lady's room."

Jia Qing understood, at about this time the grandparent and grandson were hugging each other and crying.If no one dissuades you, you can cry for an hour.

Jia Qing got off his horse and strode into Rongguo Mansion.

Not as Jia Qing thought, Jia's mother is still very rational, knowing that Jia Qing's affairs cannot be delayed, when Jia Qing arrives at Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother is sending Lin Daiyu out.

"Look, old ancestor, what would you do if I hadn't reminded you, old man, that someone came to your door to urge you now, and you lost face?"

Seeing Jia Qing coming in, the sharp-eyed Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia's mother.

"Grandson greets the ancestors."

Jia Qing stepped forward and saluted Jia's mother, then looked at Daiyu who was beside her.There were tears on her face supported by Zijuan, obviously she had cried just now.

Jia Mu said: "Since you are here, take your sister out, don't forget what I told you!"

"Yes, my ancestor."

"Grandmother..." Daiyu called out, saying her last farewell.

Mother Jia suppressed her emotions, waved her hands and said, "Go, go."

Seeing this, Jia Qing took Daiyu's hand without saying a word, and led her to the front door, while bidding farewell to everyone behind him with the other hand.

After Jia Qing and the others disappeared, Mother Jia looked around and asked, "Where's Baoyu?"

Many people smiled knowingly, and it was hard to talk, Wang Xifeng said: "It's not the ancestors, Brother Jiabao really wants to follow Sister Lin to the south of the Yangtze River to see Uncle Lin, but you don't want to let me, so I'm probably hiding in the house and crying !"

After hearing this, Mother Jia sighed, turned around silently, and went back to Rongqing Hall.

……

After leaving the Rongqing hall, a soft sedan chair stops here, ready to carry Daiyu and wait to go out.Jia Qing stopped, suddenly seemed to realize something, and said to one of the servant girls who had been following behind him, "Why are you following?"

Qingwen pouted, dissatisfied that Jia Qing took so long to discover her, so she ignored Jia Qing and stepped forward to help Daiyu get into the sedan chair.

Daiyu also didn't answer with a smile, but Zijuan was obedient, and said with a smile: "The old lady is afraid that there will be fewer people on the way to take care of the girl, so she said that she will pick two more capable people to follow, so no one will recommend herself..."

After Zijuan finished speaking, she started laughing, and immediately broke Qingwen's cold-faced magic skill, and her face became ashamed.

Jia Qing understood, thinking why didn't she think at the time, let Peifeng and the others pretend to be Daiyu's maids, wouldn't it be all right?

It seems that I can't predict everything first.

Now, it is not necessary.

"Second Master, get on the sedan chair."

A woman in charge stepped forward to ask Jia Qing to get on the sedan chair. There is still a way from here to the front of the mansion.

Jia Qing shook his head, indicating no need.Seeing that Daiyu had already got into the sedan chair, she ordered, "Let's go."

"Get up~"

……

At the Xicheng Wharf, a huge official ship stood, within thirty feet of it, apart from two small escort ships, there was not a single civilian ship.

A businessman who was rushing early was too frightened to approach by the two rows of clerks who were fighting with open flames in the middle, so he walked to the side and asked another person, "What is this for?"

The man laughed and said, "The imperial envoy is on a mission! No matter what you have to do, just wait and don't be rash."

Hearing that it was an imperial envoy's trip, he quickly calmed down, and silently stood by the side with the man, waiting, by the way, to see this kind of demeanor that can only be seen in the capital.

Jia Qing rode a tall horse and wore a royal uniform, and came to the pier under the escort of a group of horses.There are three carriages behind, sitting Daiyu, Wang Momo (Daiyu's nurse) and others.

The team drove directly to the edge of the pier, in front of the giant official ship.Several people from the government have already been waiting there.

Jia Qing got off his horse, bowed his hands to the old man in charge and said: "The late birth, please forgive me, Old General Feng and everyone."

Shenwu General Feng Tang, father of Feng Ziying, deputy envoy on this trip.

Jia Qingchu was also very surprised when he first found out. You said that it is fine to send a military general as the deputy envoy, but you can also send a military general with such seniority and a second-rank military general. In terms of rank, he is on the same level as his title!

Feng Tang and others said: "General Jia, please be polite."

Jia Qing said: "Everyone wait a moment, Master Lin's beloved daughter is still in the car, I will come to ask you for advice after I settle it."

When Feng Tang heard this, he realized that the Jia and Lin families were so rich that even their daughter was raised in Jia's family.

"Sure, that's it. I'll wait for General Jia in the chamber."
