Chapter 221 Leaving Beijing
Suburbs of Beijing.
Mrs. Anbohou came to see them off with her daughter Song Yaning.
"Alas, now that you are gone, I don't know when we can meet again. Take care!"
Liu Yunniang looked at Lady Anbohou, her eyes full of gratitude and tenderness, and advised softly,
"Madam Anbo, thank you for coming to see me off. The journey to the northwest is long, and I don't know what the future will be like. But Yunniang, remember that you care about me, Madam, and I will take care of myself."
Ye Xiaoxiao also nodded slightly to Song Yaning.
"Sister Yaning, you have to take care of yourself too. I hope we can both live better the next time we meet."
Tears welled up in Song Yaning's eyes and she gently held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Xiaoxiao, you and your wife must be well in the northwest. I will pray for you in the capital, and I wish you peace and success."
Lady Anbohou looked at "Xiao Mu" not far away, and saw that he was as tall and straight as a pine tree, but his eyes were not looking to the side, and he did not look in this direction at all. She sighed in her heart and felt sorry for Liu Yunniang.
She whispered in his ear,
"Although General Xiao has a cold personality, this marriage was granted by His Majesty after all, so you and he still need to get used to each other. Fortunately, the general's mansion is simple and there are no messy people. You have your own life, so you must manage it well."
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly. Looking at the worried expression on the face of Marquis An's wife, she knew that she must feel that "Xiao Mu" was too cold towards her. She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart, but still maintained a dignified smile on her face.
"Don't worry, Madam Hou. Yunniang knows. Since it is the marriage granted by His Majesty, we should treat it with all our heart."
At this time, Mo Feng walked quickly towards "Xiao Mu" and reported a few words to him. Then he saw "Xiao Mu" looking over here and nodded slightly.
Liu Yunniang understood what he meant and thought that it was time to leave.
Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Lady Anbo and her daughter again, and then slowly got on the carriage.
The carriage gradually drove away from the outskirts of Beijing. Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao looked through the window at the figures of Lady Anbohou and Song Yaning getting farther and farther away, their hearts filled with reluctance and emotion.
Mrs. Anbo looked at the receding convoy and sighed. It was all fate!
Along the way, the carriage bumped forward, and Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao's moods were just like the ups and downs of the road.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
She thought she would be very happy to leave the capital, but now, she was actually reluctant to leave. This time her mood was completely different from the last time she left Jiangnan.
"Mother, what do you think the situation in the northwest is like? General Xiao doesn't know when he will be able to destroy the Rongdi people."
Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Liu Yunniang patted Ye Xiaoxiao's hand gently and comforted her tenderly,
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Since we have chosen to go to the Northwest, we should face everything bravely. No matter what the Northwest is like, we must try our best to adapt. Didn't you say that? Where mother is, there is home? With General Xiao here, Rongdi will be destroyed sooner or later. When we are stable in the Northwest, we will open another Su Jin Pavilion, and then let Chunxi and Mother Xu go to the Northwest as well, okay?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded quickly.
"Yeah, mother is right. From now on, I will open Su Jin Pavilions all over the Wei Dynasty, and count the money every day! Haha, it's beautiful just to think about it!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes smiled with joy when she thought about turning Su Jinge into a national chain of stores.
As the carriage moved forward, they gradually moved away from the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the capital.
The road became more and more rugged, and the carriage was shaking more violently. Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao had to hold on to the handrails in the carriage to keep their balance.
The road was very bumpy and Ye Xiaoxiao's face looked a little ugly.
Seeing this, Yuemei and Yuezhu carefully protected Ye Xiaoxiao.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the carriage arrived at a small town after walking for a while, and the road was relatively flat.
Ye Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this ancient horse-drawn carriage was not comfortable to ride. It swayed so much that she almost got carsick.
Yes, motion sickness, carriage sickness!
Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her dizzy head and said with a bitter face,
"This carriage is so uncomfortable for me, mother, I am about to vomit!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and her brows were furrowed. Only then did she understand why her mother had chosen to take a boat when they came to Beijing. This carriage was too uncomfortable!
Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter and asked distressedly,
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay? How about we rest in this town for a while?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard about taking a break, she nodded immediately.
"Okay, mother, I can't hold on any longer, let me get some fresh air!"
Liu Yunniang instructed Yuezhu to call Mo Feng, who was not far away, over.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Mo Feng quickly rode his horse to the side of the carriage. When he heard Liu Yunniang say that Ye Xiaoxiao was carsick, he was stunned for a moment.
Carriage sickness?
"How about we go to the teahouse in front and rest for a while while I go find something to relieve my motion sickness, ma'am, is that ok?"
Although "Xiao Mu" was with them on the trip, the entire journey was arranged by Mo Feng. He was very careful and cautious along the way, and he never expected that he had overlooked the fact that Miss Xiao would suffer from motion sickness.
Mo Feng secretly blamed himself, hurriedly reported to "Xiao Mu", and ordered the team to go to the teahouse in the town.
When everyone arrived at the teahouse, Mo Feng quickly arranged for someone to clean up a quiet room for Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao to rest in. As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao entered the room, she sat down on the chair weakly, her face still pale.
Liu Yunniang poured her a glass of water with concern.
"Xiaoxiao, drink some water first and calm down."
Mo Feng ordered people to go to the pharmacy in the town immediately to ask if there was anything that could relieve motion sickness.
After a while, the accompanying guards came back with bags and placed the things on the table one by one.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the various kinds of plums and preserved fruits in front of her and was stunned for a moment!
The guard probably realized at this moment that he had bought too much. He felt a little uneasy and quickly explained,
"Madam, I went to the pharmacy to ask, and they said that the young lady is young, and those medicines may not be suitable. Eating something sour can relieve the pain. I also heard that the preserved fruits in this shop in town are good, so I took the initiative to buy some more."
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly and said gently,
"You did a great job. Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the dazzling array of preserved fruits on the table and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She picked up a plum and put it in her mouth. The sour taste spread in her mouth instantly, and the churning feeling in her stomach seemed to ease a little.
Liu Yunniang sat aside, looking at her daughter with concern.
"Xiaoxiao, do you feel better?" Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Mother, I feel much better. These preserved fruits are really effective."
At this time, Mo Feng walked in.
"Madam, Miss Xiao, I have asked someone to prepare some light food and tea. You can rest here for a while and eat something. When Miss Xiao recovers a little, we will continue on our journey."
