Chapter 389 Sending off (one more)
In the middle of the night last night, there was snow in the sky, and in the early morning, a thick layer fell on the ground.
The snow still hasn’t stopped, and there are large flakes of snow floating in the sky.
Ye Qiuying washed her face and the whole little person was finally refreshed. She looked out of the window and said worriedly: "How can my little uncle hurry on his way when there is such a heavy snowfall?"
Su Rong also looked out the window, "I can only put a few more heaters in the carriage."
Ye Qiuying sighed.
Everyone in Cheng Guogong's mansion sent Ye Guixue to the gate of the mansion. After saying goodbye, Lu Weiran sent Ye Guixue out of the city alone.
There is no one on the street, and outside the city, the world is even more white.
Lu Weiran was wrapped in a cloak from head to toe, but it didn't take long before a layer of frost covered his head and body. He couldn't help sticking to Ye Guixue's carriage and said to the inside: "Cousin, the snow is too heavy, why don't you leave after the snow stops? It's only two days later?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "Last night I received a letter urging me to go back. There is no need to delay any longer. It's okay. Driving before the snow is better than closing the road after it snows. If there is a delay, it will take more than two days."
Lu Weiran had no choice but to give up.
The carriage came to the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Inside the pavilion, there were two figures, one big and one small, wrapped into two balls. Each of them held a hand stove in their hands, chatting and waiting for someone. It seemed that they had been waiting for a while.
Lu Weiran froze for a moment, dismounted to salute, "Miss Su Qi." He then greeted Ye Qiuying, "Qiuying."
Su Rong stood up, smiled and nodded, "Lu Shizi."
Ye Qiuying called obediently, "Uncle Unran."
Ye Guixue came down from the carriage, and when she saw the tightly wrapped and warm appearance of the two, she immediately smiled, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Not too long." Su Rong shook her head, "Did we get up early?"
Ye Guixue looked at Ye Qiuying, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Ye Qiuying glanced at Su Rong sadly, "Sister Su Qi hugged me while sleeping, I'm not used to it, and I can't get away from her, so I used her as a pillow all night."
Ye Guixue laughed, "I see, no wonder."
Su Rong coughed, "Well, you smell soft and warm. I don't know if you can't sleep. I promise I won't sleep with you tonight."
Ye Qiuying immediately said, "I don't want you to accompany me tonight."
Su Rong had no choice but to agree with some pity, "Okay!"
The fragrant, soft and warm pillow is gone.
Ye Qiuying saw her regretful eyes, stomped her feet, threw away the stove, ran to hug Ye Guixue, raised her face and said, "Little uncle, be careful on the way back. When you return to Nanchu, remember to write to me to report your safety."
Ye Guixue touched her head, "Okay."
Ye Qiuying let him go, "Tell my grandparents and father that I am fine, and let them rest assured that I will obediently wait for you to pick me up."
Ye Guixue's eyes were warm, "Okay."
After Ye Qiuying said a few words, she seemed to have nothing to say, she turned to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong thought for a while, and said to Lu Weiran: "Please trouble Lu Shizi to take Xiao Qiuying to the car and wait for me. I have a few words that I want to say to Gui Xue in private."
Ye Qiuying nodded obediently, and followed Lu Weiran to the carriage.
After they left, Su Rong reached out to Ye Guixue, "Guixue, you haven't forgotten that you still have something to return to me, right?"
Ye Guixue looked at her and sighed softly, "I thought you forgot."
"Don't dare to forget." Su Rong shook her head.
Ye Guixue reached into her bosom, took out the plum blossom hairpin, and handed it to her.
Su Rong reached out to take it, put it in his sleeve, and smiled at him, "I still say the same thing, don't worry, even if our interests are at odds, I will not use Xiao Qiuying as a weapon to threaten you."
Ye Guixue nodded, "I know."
She looked at Su Rong, "The Second Highness came to me yesterday and said that the Nangong family found General Pingxi, Zhang Ping, and used half of the family wealth as a bargaining chip to let Zhang Ping take your life. His words should be true, but I also revealed Zhang Ping's ambitions to him. He should also be on guard against Zhang Ping since yesterday."
He briefly told the story of meeting Yan Lin yesterday.
Su Rong nodded, looked at him, and said seriously: "Thank you, Guixue."
Ye Guixue shook her head, and said softly, "What I want is not the princess' gratitude."
As for what he wanted, he didn't go any further.
Su Rong was silent for a while, still looking at him seriously, and said to him: "Gui Xue, what I said that day, you should think about it carefully, a good relationship is hard to find, and a confidant is even harder to find. You said that you have prepared for five years, more than 1,800 days and nights to be my husband, but I have always wanted to ask you, although you are willing, are you tired?"
She didn't wait for Ye Guixue to answer, and said directly: "Actually, you are tired, right? It's just that you know in your heart that if you earn something, you must give something. You have no reason to tell others that you are tired, or you can't say it, whether it is your parents or your brother. The position of Mrs. Wang is certainly good. It is the path you chose for yourself, but from your actions to your heart, you are like measuring with a ruler in your heart. You may not feel restrained and tired because of it."
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly, "Guixue, I don't want you to be trapped here with me. After all, I really can't show any more soft-heartedness. So, among all the reasons, you must have a reason to let go of me, right?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "The princess is right, maybe!"
After all, he couldn't do something like take the plum blossom hairpin she gave him and refuse to return it.
He didn't know what method Zhou Gu used to make Su Rong soften his heart and care about him again and again. In a short period of time, before he left the capital, she made up her mind to call off his marriage.
He looked at Su Rong with gentle eyes, "It's snowing and cold, the princess is very afraid of the cold, go back! When I return to Southern Chu, I will write to the princess. No matter what, don't worry, the princess, I will do my best to welcome you back to Nanchu."
Su Rong nodded, "Okay."
She said yes but stood still, and smiled at Ye Guixue, "You go first, Xiao Qiuying must really want to watch you go, otherwise I will drag her away, and she will inevitably look back at you again and again."
Ye Guixue smiled, nodded, left the pavilion, and got into the carriage.
As the curtain was lowered, the carriage left Shili Pavilion and gradually walked away.
Su Rong stood where she was, watching Yegui's snow carriage leave. After leaving behind a black shadow, she took out the hairpin in her sleeve.
Feng Ling came out from behind Su Rong, approached Su Rong and asked: "Sister, do you regret it? Can't bear to miss Ye Er?"
Su Rong shook his head, "What do you regret?"
She handed him the plum blossom hairpin, "Look, is it the original one?"
"Ah?" Feng Ling was stunned, took it over and looked, "Is it? It's exactly the same?" Seeing that Su Rong didn't say a word, he looked carefully again, and affirmed: "Yes, that's right, it's this one. The bottom of this plum blossom is marked." He pointed it to Su Rong, "Here, it's here, and your name is engraved here. Besides, the workmanship is not bad. The products produced by our own workshop are the only ones in the world."
Su Rong nodded, "If it is, then destroy it!"
