Chapter 297: Leaving Beijing (2)
The day of Yuxi's departure from Beijing was set for the first day of February.
came out of the New Year, and the Guogong Mansion also began to be lively. Everything that should be packed is packed, and now it's all going to be packed and taken away.
Yuxi looked at a pile of things, a little helpless. Sixteen large boxes, that's the amount that the Qiu family picked.
Yuxi looked at it and said, "Mother, if I bring this lot of things now, it will be difficult to hurry." "These skins, satins, etc. that are packed up are all cumbersome, and Yuxi is reluctant to bring them. With so many unimportant things on the road, you can only reach the northwest in the year of the monkey. What's more, having a lot of things is not a good thing, and it is easy to attract bandits. Yuxi picked and chosen, and finally left four boxes, and the others were unwilling to take more.
Qiu was very uncomfortable, she prepared so many things for Yuxi, clothes, cloth, fur and silk, furniture and furnishings, as well as calligraphy and paintings, antiques, porcelain and high-quality rouge gouache, etc., all of which could not be brought. Qiu Shi took Yuxi's hand and said, "My son has been wronged. "If you go on, the tears will come again.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother, don't be wronged, my mother will keep these things for me." When I return to Beijing in the future, I will have someone come and take me away. "In addition to the necessary things, there are gold, silver and jewelry, and other things Yuxi doesn't want to bring. However, it was not that he didn't bring any of them, and Yuxi still symbolically took one or two pieces of everything. In addition, I also picked out a box of rouge gouache. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to buy such a good one in the capital when she went to the northwest, and she would use them when she got married. For the sake of safety, I deliberately brought a box.
Qiu wiped his tears and said, "Okay, your dowry will be sealed in Taoranju for you, and when you come in the future, your mother will send it to you." ”
Mother Li said on the side: "Girl, why don't we wait for you to leave, and then we will let someone send you things, I heard that the border city is short of clothes and food." ”
Yuxi waved his hand and said: "There is a lack of clothes and less food in the northwest, can there still be a shortage of mine? Besides, there is not as bad as your mother and Mother Li, you think, but the high-quality satin is more expensive than the capital." If you send things to the northwest, the cost of this round trip is enough to buy several truckloads of satin. "It's not a good deal at all.
Rao is Yuxi was streamlined and streamlined, and he also packed out more than fifty large boxes. Yuxi muttered, "Why do you still have so many things?" This is already the result of streamlining. There are some things you can do without, but there are some things you have to bring. For example, the wedding dress and the embroidered quilt, as well as the clothes of the four seasons that Yuxi changed and the clothes to be worn after marriage, as well as the four large boxes of silk and satin, these things Qiu Shi is reluctant to streamline, saying that this is the dignity of the girl's family, and it must not be less, only these things account for nearly twenty boxes.
Shisu muttered, "If the girl can bring your books and those inks and pens without anything, you can reduce a few boxes." "There are only two large boxes of books, and the pen and ink inkstone only occupy one box.
Yuxi said: "You can not bring anything, but you can't bring books." "These books, but her years of hard work, how can she not bring them!
Zi Jin said: "Girl, it's not safe to put the jewelry on the carriage behind, right? Or put it in the carriage we are sitting in?" Yuxi has a lot of jewelry, which has been purchased by the public over the years, bought by the Qiu family for her, and given by the Ye family, Lu Xiu and others, and the amount accumulated over more than ten years is amazing.
Everything else has been streamlined, except for jewelry, which is the only one that hasn't. Yuxi called Shiso and asked Shiso to sort and arrange the jewelry. Yuxi means that when the time comes, the jewelry box will be placed in a long box, and the cushions will be spread on top for stools. As a result, it is estimated that few people will think that the jewelry is placed on a carriage. And in doing so, you can save space.
Zi Su felt that this was also a good idea, so that it would not be easy to be discovered: "This matter has to be cooperated by Han Ji!" Han Ji was the person brought by Yuxi to Red Jujube Village last time, and Han Jianming saw that Yuxi used it easily, so he gave the person to Yuxi.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Han Ji knows. "It must be guò angry, otherwise where to find the right box.
On this day, Qiu and Yuxi said: "Tomorrow relatives and friends will come to add makeup to you, so don't be busy tomorrow." ”
Yuxi sighed: "Add makeup?"
Qiu couldn't help but knock Yuxi and said, "Even if you marry to the northwest, you can't save the way of adding makeup!"
The first to add makeup were Ye and Lu Xiu, and the two came together. Both of them are very practical, and they both pick up gemstones and jewelry to give valuable. Yuxi postponed it, the two had already sent a shop before, and this time she was unwilling to accept any more things from the two of them no matter what.
Ye Shi smiled: "I know that Yuxi will say that, take it! This is also the wish of the two of us to be sisters-in-law." It's nothing, I hope you can be safe and sound, and you can be harmonious with your brother-in-law. ”
Lu Xiu put the thing in Yuxi's hand and said, "Give it to you, you can take it!"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." After a pause, he said, "My mother will have to worry about the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law in the future." "She's so far away that she can't take care of the Qiu family anymore.
Ye Shi held Yuxi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my mother." "Now the Qiu family doesn't care about anything, except for chanting scriptures and taking care of children all day long, there is no conflict with the Ye family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well now.
Lu Xiu also nodded beside him.
It didn't take long for Yuchen to send something over. Yuchen has always been generous, and this time is no exception. Yuxi looked at the more than ten kinds of jewelry lined up side by side on the tray, each of which was exquisite and luxurious, and was worth a lot of money. smiled and said, "The third sister has a heart." ”
Mama Gui said: "The princess said that when the girl goes out, the princess will come to see the girl in person." By the time Yuxi went out, Yuchen was also out of confinement.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's freezing this day, even if the third sister is out of confinement, don't let her come out." "It's no joke if the wind blows.
Mama Gui began to look at Yuxi from the moment she entered the door, and saw that Yuxi was not in a hurry, so she listened to Yuxi's words, and said with a smile: "If the princess listens to the girl, she will definitely be very happy." ”
Yuxi felt that this was not right, and she would be very happy to hear her words. But Yuxi didn't think about it, it was better to do something else with this blind kung fu.
Not long after Mama Gui left, there was a reward in the palace. Song Guifei gave Yuxi a pair of jade Ruyi, the jade Ruyi of mutton fat jade, crystal clear, and worth a thousand gold.
After Yuxi thanked him, he looked at the pair of Yu Ruyi and had a smile on his face.
Zi Su felt a little uneasy in her heart: "Girl, this thing is on the table now, and after we leave the capital, you can do whatever you want, even if you smash her, it doesn't matter." But this will, you must not touch her!" "After enduring it for so long, I can't give up my efforts before this juncture."
Yuxi glanced at Zisu, smiled, and said, "I'm thinking, this jade Ruyi is sent to the pawnshop, and I don't know how much it can be?"
Zi Su sighed in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Girl, can you send it to the pawnshop." This is a thing in the palace, and the people who send it to the pawnshop dare not accept it. ”
Mother Qu said on the side: "It's not that I don't dare to accept it, I have to look at the pawnshop." No one dares to accept ordinary pawnshops, but as long as the background is hard, they dare to accept it. After speaking, he told Yuxi and Zijin that in the palace, there are also some eunuchs or grandmothers with power in their hands who will smuggle out of the palace to exchange money.
Shisu was taken aback: "Won't you be caught?"
Mother Qu shook her head and said, "Naturally, there are people who have been arrested." "Doing anything is risky, let alone such a shady thing, and once caught, there is only a dead end.
Yuxi was not interested in this: "Put the things in the house!"
I don't know if it's because Song Guifei and Yuchen came to add makeup, but in the afternoon, there were obviously more people who came to add makeup, and the things sent out were not bargains.
After two days, the harvest was not bad: "These jewels are put in a box and carried with you." "The previous things have already been put away, and there is no place to put them in again.
Han Jianming came over to find Yuxi and said: "The dart bureau will send thirty dart masters, these dart masters are the best dart masters in the Xinglong dart game, and the leader is their chief dart head." The dart head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau also has some prestige among the people, and he will lead the team, and the road will be safer. "Han Jianming spent a lot of money this time. However, for Yuxi's safety, no matter how painful it is, he has to pay for it. As for how much money it cost to invite these dart masters, Han Jianming didn't tell Yuxi, and Yuxi didn't ask, because there was no need to ask. As long as she lives, what her eldest brother has paid will be rewarded in the future. Just in case it's gone, well, there's no such thing.
Yuxi nodded and said his plan: "The dart master is responsible for all matters, the people who follow us in the mansion are responsible for the safety of the goods, and the twelve guards of the Lu family are mainly responsible for my safety." "The division of labor is clear, and there will be no contradictions when the time comes.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "It's good for you to arrange it like this, I'll tell Master Huang Dart." Although he was very ashamed, he had to admit that the Han family's guards were not half a star worse than the Lu family, and Han Jianming could also put half of his mind at ease by handing over Yuxi's safety to them.
Yuxi said, "The twelve guards of the Lu family will come over on the day of departure. "Since Second Master Lu said that he is twelve good hands, Yuxi believes that the other party will definitely not cut corners.
Han Jianming nodded, and then said, "Yuxi, I have already sent a letter to your second brother, and your second brother will bring someone to pick you up when the time comes." Han Jianming also knew that this road would not be peaceful. Shaanxi and Shanxi are two places where bandits are well known.
Yuxi smiled: "That's naturally good." But she didn't expect Han Jianye in her heart. Han Jianye is a general with troops, where can he leave casually. Even if she comes to pick her up, at most she will be in the Gansu area. But the few places she passed, such as Shanxi and Shaanxi, were all places where bandits were rampant. This is also why she cheekily begged her second sister-in-law to go to the Lu family to borrow someone. Without someone to protect her, she is not at ease!R1148
