262. Arrival
Since I met the Queen Mother and was about to return to the north soon, I naturally should go to the Taifu Yun’s mansion to pay my respects.
In this way, after paying homage to everyone in the Yun Mansion, they were the princes and princesses who were friends with Mu Yunzheng in the palace for banquets.
Mu Yunzheng used the excuse of being unwell, but he did not touch alcohol or meat, and silently vegetarian for Rong Qiaoyan.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Mu Yunzheng and everyone started to rush to the north.
This time, Yan Wei insisted on following Mu Yunzheng to the north.
Before, Yan Wei mainly left it to Rong Qiaoyan for work. However, Rong Qiaoyan didn't use Yan Wei very much.
Now that Rong Qiaoyan is gone, she naturally won’t use Yan Wei anymore, so Yan Wei should have followed Mu Yunzheng.
Yan Wei insisted on following Mu Yunzheng north, and Miaozhi didn't want to stay in the sad place in the capital, so he planned to follow him.
After hearing Yan Wei and Miaozhi's request, Mu Yunzheng was stunned for a long time before speaking: "If you go, I won't stop you. But, let's wait until the New Year is over next year. First, after the New Year, the weather will be warmer the more you go north. After all, Mrs. Mei is a female family member, so she should be more concerned..."
Before Mu Yunzheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Miaozhi's words. He just said that he didn't have to worry about her and just rush on the road as usual.
However, Mu Yunzheng stopped Miaozhi's words, "The second is that you stay in the capital and put the sixth lady in a hundred-day grave and the New Year grave."
As soon as these words came out, Miaozhi's tears suddenly burst out.
People from Dajing Dynasty have the highest tombs of 100-day tombs and the tombs before the New Year in the first year of their death.
Rong Qiaoyan has never got married and has no children from her husband. Now that the Rong family is no longer in the capital, she naturally has no close friends and is planning to bring these two graves to her.
Therefore, Miaozhi, who is loyal to Rong Qiaoyan, is indeed the most suitable candidate.
"Yes..." Miaozhi responded with trembling lips, "A maid will go to the north with her husband after the New Year."
"No need to hurry up so much..." Mu Yunzheng's words were unable to continue under Miaozhi's firm gaze.
"My husband is the prince's guard, so he should be with him. It was so late because of my concern. However, he should also perform his duties. We will set off after the New Year."
Miaozhi said, while secretly making up her mind that even on the New Year's Day, she would go to the grave to accompany her lady.
After spending the New Year with the lady, she set off for the North.
Mu Yunzheng sighed lightly and stopped saying anything.
When Mu Yunzheng and his people returned to the north, Rong Qiaoyan, with Aunt Shuang and Shi Jingtao, also followed the escort agency to Yong'an Mansion.
Yes, the escort agency.
Rong Qiaoyan had long planned to follow the escort agency. However, she didn't dare to look for the escort agency in the capital, for fear that someone would find it out.
Therefore, she walked north for more than half a month before she joined an escort agency heading north in a small town.
Rong Qiaoyan’s words to the outside world were that her father was mourning, and her mother took her with her aunt’s cousin to her father’s hometown to join her relatives.
Therefore, a widow who lost his husband and a young daughter who lost his father, did not attract attention if she lived in simplicity.
Anyway, everything is managed by Shi Jingtao, the nominal cousin.
The goods escorted by this escort agency were bulky, so they walked a little slower.
In this way, it is just right to protect the female family. After all, the female family has limited physical strength and is walking too fast, so I am afraid they can't hold on.
After leaving for more than half a month, the escort agency arrived at the destination, and Rong Qiaoyan and others changed to another escort agency.
After another half a month, after arriving at Yong'an Prefecture, only Rong Qiaoyan and others were left walking alone.
The official roads in the north are naturally not as good as those in the capital, so they walk a little slower.
Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang are female relatives, so their physical strength is naturally worse, so they walk even slower.
Therefore, he was slow and slow until late August, and he reached the area under Wang'an City.
It was noon that day, Rong Qiaoyan and the others stopped the carriage, rested in the wilderness, and had a simple lunch.
After lunch, Rong Qiaoyan took the map again and looked carefully.
"The northwards, the less accurate this map is. Thanks to Brother Shi, you ran over the raft, otherwise you wouldn't know where you were going."
Rong Qiaoyan sighed while watching.
However, even though Shi Jingtao had the experience of rafting, they took many detours while walking alone along the way.
Shi Jingtao listened to Rong Qiaoyan's praise and smiled shyly, then went to feed the horse with the grass.
Along the way, after spending more than two months together day and night, they have become as close as a family.
Shi Jingtao even felt that even if he didn't have his sister in the hands of the lady, he would be loyal.
"Mom, there are more than a hundred miles ahead and we will reach Wang'an City. Let's find a small town near the outside of the city and settle down first."
Rong Qiaoyan pondered for a long time before she said to Aunt Shuang.
"Do you find a small town? There are more people in the town, so why not find a village?" Aunt Shuang suggested with some concern.
"The small one is hidden in the wild, and the big one is hidden in the city. In fact, if you really want to live in seclusion, the bigger the city, the better. However, because we still need to re-apply the household registration, if we enter Wang'an City now, it will be difficult to handle the new household registration."
Rong Qiaoyan explained to Aunt Shuang in a low voice while pondering.
Wang'an City, you still have to enter. But it's not now.
Before, she had read travel notes that she would check the road signs only when she entered the prefecture city. She would not check the road signs when she went to a county town.
So, what she thought about that day was to use Yue Shutong's road to bring in Yong'an Prefecture, and then live in the county town of Wang'an City until next year.
However, she realized on the road that because Wang'an City is the county closest to the border, there are many people coming and going, Wang'an City is a way to check the road.
Her path leads, and she naturally doesn't fear it after walking along the way.
However, she also had to go to Wang Ancheng County Government to apply for new names of Luyin and Hudian Discs.
In this way, the county town has checked the Luyin called Yue Shutong, but the new name cannot be handled.
Therefore, I had to stay in the nearby town first.
After hearing Rong Qiaoyan's words, Aunt Shuang looked at Rong Qiaoyan's firm expression, but stopped talking.
Along the way, Rong Qiaoyan's performance made her look at her with admiration.
Rong Qiaoyan is indeed like a person who has never been away, but she learns very quickly when dealing with things.
From the beginning, Zhang Huang who could be seen with naked eyes to his calmness and calmness now, Aunt Shuang naturally admired her.
So, after Rong Qiaoyan explained, she was left to obey.
Rong Qiaoyan looked at the towns marked on the map and thought about it.
Going further north to Wang'an City, only one Xining Town is marked. This town should be the town where Mu Yunzheng is stationed?
He is so close to the border? Xining Town is bordering the land of the barbarians.
Rong Qiaoyan's thoughts fell on Mu Yunzheng for a moment, and then looked at the town south of Ancheng.
There is a Wangning Town next to Wang'an City, which is very close to Wang'an City. If there is really a war, it would be fast to run to Wang'an City.
Rong Qiaoyan clicked on the fingers in Wangning Town and finally settled here.
Yong'an Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Wang'an City, Xining Town, Wanging Town, Yuanping Town...
From these names, we can see the desire of the people in the border areas to be peaceful.
Rong Qiaoyan sighed while packing her things and asked Shi Jingtao to drive the carriage to Wangning Town.
When I arrived in Wangning Town, it was very depressed and not much better than the passing villages.
The only inn in the town is very simple even if it is in the room.
Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang walked into the room through the back door with their hats.
"Tomorrow you go to the town to rent a house. If someone asks you, you will just say that you are not meeting relatives, and you will wait to return to your hometown after the New Year next year."
Rong Qiaoyan put down the cover hat while instructing Shi Jingtao.
After saying that, she talked about her request for the rented house.
Shi Jingtao nodded repeatedly and then returned to his guest room.
Chapter completed!
