Chapter 936: Parting Is the Saddest Thing
Listening to Mrs. Du's inner voice, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows. Since Mrs. Du divorced, she seemed to have become more clear-headed.
Several people went into the house and sat down. After chatting briefly about family matters, Bai Yunxi asked Nanny Zhu to take out a bundle and a mahogany box.
"Originally, I was going to send them to you. Since you brought the child to my house, take them back together."
Looking at the bundle and mahogany box that Nanny Zhu put in front of her, Zhou waved her hands hurriedly.
"I dare not accept your things anymore. Xiao Wang and I are doing well. The family's industry is also doing well..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Yunxi.
"Take it. This is a little gift from me. After all, it was the eldest brat who let you down, but the child is innocent. I just hope that your grievances will not affect the child."
"Don't worry, I just hope that Xiao Wang will grow up healthily and be able to set up a family in the future."
Zhou took the bundle, which contained several pieces of silk cloth and some fine cotton cloth. After looking at the mahogany box, Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still opened it. What caught her eye were two hairpins, one silver hairpin and the other turquoise jade hairpin, with several silver notes underneath, still in the denomination of one hundred taels.
"This..." Forget about the cloth, how can I give back the silver notes?
"Raising a child takes time and effort, and raising him well also costs money. Xiao Wang calls me grandma, and this is also a little thought from me as a grandmother. I hope he grows up safely. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to Yingbin Building to ask the shopkeeper for help."
Bai Anchen's mess, she, as the mother, will clean up.
You have to pay back what you owe, and I just hope that the child will grow up safely and not have any resentment after knowing the truth.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone and looking at her kind eyes, Zhou felt very sad.
In the past few years, she has lived with her mother with her son, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren can be considered simple and happy. She is content with living like this now.
After sitting for a while, Zhou got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Du asked her to wait a moment, and took out two cloth tigers from the next room and handed them to Xiao Wang, "I made them in my spare time, Xiao Wang, play with them."
"Thank you," Mrs. Zhou looked at her son holding the cloth tiger and reminded him softly, "Xiao Wang, why don't you thank me, Auntie?"
"Thank you, Auntie,"
Xiao Wang smiled shyly at Mrs. Du while holding the little tiger. Before he could come back to his senses, another box was stuffed into his arms.
Yaya looked down at him,
"These are all the little toys I collected, and I give them to you. We are moving to Kyoto. When you grow up, come to Kyoto to find me. I will be your big sister and protect you."
Yaya touched his head, and saw that he squinted like a cat, and couldn't help rubbing it a few more times.
Several adults looked at the two children and looked at each other.
Bai Yunxi took Yaya to the gate with her, and watched Mrs. Zhou take Xiao Wang back in a carriage, and then came back holding her granddaughter's hand.
"Yaya likes Xiaowang very much?"
"He's a little pitiful."
"Hmm? How is he pitiful?" Bai Yunxi didn't understand her granddaughter's train of thought, and looked down at her.
"He doesn't have you."
Yaya curled her lips, her chubby face was chubby,
"I have grandma to accompany me, but he doesn't."
Bai Yunxi: "..."
The next day, after breakfast, the carriages were already waiting at the door, three carriages and six carts.
For the long journey, in order to sit comfortably, the masters prepared a carriage each, which was spacious and bright.
This time, Wenyou rode in front to lead the way, the servants of the family pressed the cart, and the maids who served closely followed the master in the carriage for easy care.
In addition, there were 20 yamen runners sent by the government to escort them, and the team was spectacular.
"It's getting late, let's go."
Bai Yunxi waved her hand and asked Zhang Yisan and Du Shi to take Yaya to the carriage first. After ensuring that no one was left out, she took Nanny Zhu to sit in the carriage.
The motorcade was driving on the street, attracting a lot of attention.
People were talking on the street, Bai Yunxi listened and went out of the city gate.
When they arrived at the long pavilion outside the city, Wenyou raised her hand and the motorcade stopped.
Wenyou got off the horse and walked to Bai Yunxi's carriage,
"Aunt Bai, Madam Wu and Madam Xu are seeing us off at the long pavilion."
Bai Yunxi was stunned, got out of the car, looked at the two people standing on the roadside, and felt warm in her heart. In the three years since she came to the city, she could only chat with these two people.
"Knowing that Yiren is going out today, the two of us will accompany you."
"I wish you a safe journey."
Bai Yunxi looked at the two of them, "Thank you for seeing me off. I was so nervous about the long journey, but seeing you makes me feel more at ease."
"It is fate that God let us meet. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
Mrs. Wu looked at Bai Yunxi and smiled softly,
"My master said that Mr. Bai has a bright future and will definitely be a dragon and phoenix in Kyoto."
"That's right. Mr. Bai has achieved such success at such a young age. His future is limitless."
Mrs. Xu praised sincerely. He was able to get promoted in just three years. This ability is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
"Thank you for your good wishes."
Bai Yunxi chuckled, "To be honest, I was also very surprised that my Xiaowu suddenly received a transfer order. I hope everything goes smoothly."
"Just relax, my master said that the government cherishes talents, as long as you have the ability, you will be reused. Your Xiaowu is a young talent with a bright future."
"That's right. If we go to Kyoto in the future, I hope Yiren will take good care of him."
"Of course, the Bai family will always welcome you."
The few people said a few polite words, and they couldn't help feeling sad.
"...After seeing you off for thousands of miles, there will always be a farewell. It's getting late, Yiren, leave early."
"Yes, leave early, don't miss your place to stay."
...
The carriage was moving slowly, Bai Yunxi lifted the curtain, and looked at the two people going farther and farther away, feeling really uncomfortable.
"Don't be sad, Yiren, maybe we can meet again in the future."
Bai Yunxi came to her senses and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. She almost cried.
"I can't bear to see this kind of parting scene. When we settle down in Beijing, we will take the second brother and his wife and An Jing over, and we will never be separated again."
As long as Xiaowu does a good job, Kyoto will be where they will take root.
"Yiren will definitely get what she wants."
Madam Zhu poured her a cup of tea. Their Fifth Master is a powerful one, and with the support of the Fourth Master, her future is bright.
The autumn is strong,
The poplar forests on both sides of the official road have become desolate, and large pieces of yellow leaves have fallen on the ground. The wheels of the car pressed on them, making a clacking sound.
In order to take care of Zhang Yishan, Bai Yunxi specifically instructed that it was better to drive slowly than bumpy. If they were tired, they should stop and rest directly, especially not to drive at night.
After a whole day, the carriage only traveled 70 to 80 miles.
Passing the first post station, Bai Yunxi brought the documents. When the postmaster learned that they were officials' families, he naturally gave them a warm reception.
He also ordered his subordinates to prepare a few more side dishes and serve them carefully in front of Bai Yunxi. (End of this chapter)
