Chapter 210 Return
Chapter 210 Return
Yun Wu, who was dressed as a servant, turned around with a keen sense and met Wang Jinyi's eyes, who was looking at him through the curtain of the carriage.
Yun Wu's eyes swept across Wang Jinyi's face and he was shocked. Is this the literary monster from back then?
Ouyang Wenche in the carriage was as surprised as Yun Wu.
This time he traveled with the convoy of the second branch of the Wang family because he was summoned by Crown Prince Xiao Yin of the Eastern Palace to hide in the capital.
Wei Wuji looked at the young master, staring at Wang Jinyi in the car opposite through the screen window, and asked:
"Young Master, are the Feng sisters going to Beijing with us this time?"
Ouyang Wenche said without hesitation:
"Leave the Feng sisters to her. Tell someone to tell them that the Feng sisters will be Wang Jinyi's maids from now on. They must be dedicated and responsible and not have any second thoughts."
Wei Wuji nodded meaningfully and murmured:
"Young Master really guessed it right. Miss Wang will never become an ugly monster!"
Ouyang Wenche seemed unsure and asked:
"Is this really her? She has grown up in six years."
"Looking at her face, she is 6-7% similar to the mistress of the second house. She must be that literary monster. This is the Wang Jinyi you often mention!"
Ouyang Wenche stretched out his hand to pull open the curtain, wanting to see the girl in the car opposite, but Wei Wuji held his hand back.
"Young Master, safety is the most important thing! We must be cautious and not reveal our whereabouts on the road, otherwise our previous forbearance will be meaningless."
After hearing this, Ouyang Wenche withdrew his hand. When he looked back, the carriage on the opposite side was slowly moving away. The curtain had been lowered, and Wang Jinyi's bright smiling face was blocked by the curtain.
The two carriages formed a Y shape, moving in two different directions, getting farther and farther away from each other.
The motorcade arrived at the Wang family's old house in the afternoon. The main gate was wide open and the grandmother was standing inside the door. The second branch family did not expect that the masters and servants in the house were queuing up in front of the door to welcome them. Even Wang Jinyi felt that her grandmother was making it a bit too grand.
The father was waiting at the door, helping his mother and brother out of the carriage, and was about to pick up his daughter. Wang Jinyi held her brother's hand and stood on the carriage.
The father was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his two children had grown up.
The father shook his head and withdrew his hand. He looked at Wang Wendong, who was now as tall as his shoulders, and led Wang Jinyi out of the carriage. The family gathered in front of the door.
After entering the gate, everyone greeted each other according to their seniority. As they were talking in front of the gate, they heard the sound of a carriage behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a team of carriages parked in front of the main gate.
Cousins Wang Wenzhen, Wang Wenbo, and Wang Wenzhen got off the carriage one by one, and helped their aunt and younger sister Wang Yueyi down from the carriage.
Wang Jinyi parted the crowd and saw that Wang Yueyi was tall and pretty, still with a round face. When she smiled, she was as innocent and cute as a little baby.
This time, the Wang family’s gate was even more lively. The two families bowed to the grandmother respectively, and the two families also greeted each other, and the gate became lively.
After Wang Jinyi saluted and greeted her aunt, she saluted her younger sister. Wang Yueyi held Wang Jinyi and was very intimate:
"Jin'er, I've read all the stories you wrote. They're very interesting. You've actually written so many wonderful storybooks. I can't buy your books in Xunnan at all. Thanks to you for sending them to me.
Jin'er, have you written any stories recently? "
The little sister was like a cheerful little bird, chirping non-stop at the door and asking questions. The aunt patted her daughter gently and reminded her:
"Let's talk after we get inside."
The two girls held hands, left their parents behind, and walked into the main hall together.
Grandmother sat in the center facing the door, and the two families sat according to their seniority. Grandmother's face showed an irrepressible joy. Her children and grandchildren were all around, and there was laughter and joy. It was a rare blessing in life.
Grandmother seemed to have forgotten that the people in the hall were waiting for her to speak. She kept looking at this and that with a smile on her face until someone in the hall reported:
"Madam, the master is back. Let the men go to the study and the women go back to the back house to prepare."
The grandmother looked on reluctantly as her children and grandchildren bowed and left.
The eldest aunt took Wang Yueyi out of the main hall first, and the mother followed closely with Wang Jinyi, walking along the porch of the main hall, through the hanging flower gate and into the back house.
Wang Yueyi waited for Wang Jinyi to catch up, and the two girls held hands and began to chat non-stop. The two mothers followed their daughters through the flower garden, walked over the small bridge, and came to the intersection where they went back to their respective courtyards.
Wang Yueyi took her sister's hand and asked:
"Have you written any new stories? Are there any I haven't seen yet?"
Wang Jinyi thought about it and realized that there were only two books she had not read. One was "Mathematical Classics" and the other was "Songs of Evening Pickings" Volumes 1 and 2, which were the most classic Tang poems and Song lyrics in her memory from her previous life. However, the young lady was not interested in these books at all, and giving them to her would only give her a headache.
Wang Jinyi had no choice but to promise:
"I will definitely make up two stories that you like and show them to you recently, okay?"
"Jin'er, you have to hurry up. I read your stories very quickly. Now I have no stories to read. You must write a few more good stories!"
Just like that, Wang Jinyi once again promised that she would show the story she wrote to Wang Yueyi first!
The two girls said goodbye reluctantly and returned to their own yard with their mother.
Qingmei came out to greet them from afar, and the servants from the second room lined up in front of the door to welcome their master home.
The mother was surprised to find that there were more than 30 servants of the second house working in the backyard alone. She looked at her daughter with some confusion.
Wang Jinyi pulled her mother into the main room. Her mother stood in front of the door and looked for a while before going in. Everything in the room had not changed, just like six years ago, as if she had just come back from a trip. Everything familiar was there.
Wang Jinyi looked at her mother, looked at the dressing table and the large mahogany cabinet, stroked the bedding on the bed which was the same as before, and sat on the couch in the hall, looking at the snacks on the tea table.
Wang Jinyi sat opposite her mother and poured tea for her personally. The clear green tea was filled with fragrance. Her mother moistened her eyes, trembling with excitement, and held her daughter's hand:
"Jin'er, how have you and Wendong been through these years?"
Before I could finish a sentence I was already in tears.
At first everyone thought they would meet again in half a year, but it turned out to be six years! Even my father was unable to take the imperial examination three years later because my mother had a difficult childbirth.
I came back early this year before the autumn examination. My grandfather notified my father to return to Xunyang to prepare for the examination next spring.
After listening to his mother's narration, Wang Jinyi immediately thought of the two carriages that left the team alone. Fu Ma followed the carriages, which made Wang Jinyi conclude that it was because of Ouyang Wenche again! That's why his mother failed to come back to accompany him and his brother in half a year as originally agreed.
It was just a moment of distraction, and Wang Jinyi concluded that Ouyang Wenche needed to come back, so his grandfather asked his parents to return to Xunyang City in advance. It can be seen that Ouyang's situation is still dangerous, but his identity is extremely valuable!
