Matrilocal Marriage - Chapter 208

On the other side, Yun’an travels day and night. As long as it doesn’t rain, he will rush, and he will usually rush late until he can’t see his fingers until he finds a secret place, takes out a protective (color) tent and wraps it in (sleeping Shui). In the early morning of the next day, when the day was light, he would get up and continue on the road. Every time he passed a mule and horse market, he abandoned his previous mount and replaced it with a fat long-distance horse.

The effort paid off, Yun’an drove the road at a speed comparable to that of a six-hundred-mile hurried post officer… The road that would have taken at least a month to complete, abruptly saved ten days…

There is still plenty of time to enter the Central Plains area, and Yunan went around to the state of ? just to see how the deployment was progressing in the state of ?.

?In Xisifang, Zhou, there lived Lin Buxian’s eldest sister Lin Buyu’s family. Her husband Lu Song, who was called Sifang Lu Ye, was originally specialized in Fanbang’s business. Wanted to join the grand event in La Yun’an, after being rejected, he invited his wife to lobby. In order to appease the elder sister’s emotions, Lin Buxian gave the land transportation management power of Lin’s route through Zhouzhou to Lu Song, and Lu Song also took the opportunity. Change career…

It will be Mrs. Lin’s birthday in a while. Yili and Lin Buyu’s family will also go to congratulate Lin’s mother. Yun’an intends to come over for luck. If Lin Buyu’s family hasn’t set off yet, she will ask Lu Song to do something. Going back to Los Angeles together with friends is just enough to cover people’s eyes.

Yun’an returned to Yunzhai. Since there was no notice before, the housekeeper was shocked. Everything in the house was the same. Although the owner was away, he could still be organized. Yunan praised the housekeeper and asked the accountant to reward everyone. Yin, I went back to the study to write a greeting note to Lu Song. I went in and took a look… Half of the space in the study was Lin Buxian’s things. The air still seemed to have the fragrance of the emblem ink that Lin Buxian had been using. Yun An was in a daze for a while, and Lin Buxian was sitting at the back of the desk reading a book before his eyes flashed before his eyes. It was not long after the separation, and the longing was so deep.

After Yunan came to Lin Buxian’s bookcase, he sat down and (touched Mo) (touched Mo) The four treasures of the study placed on it were spotless. It seems that the people in the house are taking care of the house very carefully.

Yun’an cut two pieces of paper, one red and one white, and he raised his sleeves to study ink, and wrote: “My wife is elegant, don’t spend a few days, thinking about my wife, is my wife well?” It is different from the one written to Lin Wei The vernacular is still a bit crude letter, just look at the beginning… I feel that at least the person who wrote the letter has read a few years, and the husband and wife have a very good relationship. It may be a newlywed Yaner.

The letter Yun An wrote to Lin Wei was somewhat pretentious, but when he wrote to Lin Buxian, Yun An’s heart was full of longing and tenderness, his eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

Yun’an was holding the brush straightly, pressing the rice paper on the case with a ball, and holding the cuff with his other hand, he was stunned when he watched the sixteen characters he had finished writing in one breath.

At the beginning of this letter, both the wording and format are in line with Yan Guo’s rules, but when I wrote it, I didn’t feel that there was anything wrong…

“I pick up a pen in the Yunzhai study, see things and think about people, and wish to think about things like silk, take the westerly wind to return, and surround my wife. The white ju is passing the gap, the sun and the moon are in a hurry, and you and I will be married for a full year in some days. I tried my best to rush back. Soon, I will set off with my eldest sister and family to return to Luoyang. Everything is well at my home in Zhouzhou, don’t worry about taking care, and send Chunsui. Yunan.

Yunan checked it again and confirmed that it was correct. He put the rice paper aside (dry gan), took the red paper and wrote a greeting to Lu Song. When the ink on the two pieces of paper (dry gan) was clear, Yunan called out. : “Come here!”

“Master, how blessed is the little one. Dare to ask the master what order?”

“come in.”

“Yes.” A young man pushed the door in. After stepping over the threshold, he lowered his head and didn’t even look at it. He moved to the book table in Yun’an, and stopped a few steps away.

“Go and send this red (colored) greeting note to Lu’s Mansion in Xisifang, and give it to Uncle Lu’s mansion. This letter, which has been wax sealed, go to the city to find the best escort. Fast red head dart, I wrote the address on this piece of paper.”

Duofu took what Yun’an handed over with both hands: “Yes, do you still have orders?”

“No, let’s go. You can let the dart board get it directly from the accountant at home.”

“Yes, the little one understands.”

…

After Duofu left, Yunan got up and paced in the study, came to the front of the bookshelf, and raised his hand to stroke the spine of the book.

After staying alone in the study for a while, Yunan went back to the room to take a shower, and let the kitchen cook four dishes and one soup for himself. After the past few days, he finally had a good meal.

After eating, I walked in the yard again. After Shen Shi (sleeping in Shui), Yunan got up before it was light, opened the space and took out the disguised equipment and clothes. When he walked out of the room, Yunan had already changed. .

Riding a horse to the direction of the wharf… This hour is when the wharf is busy. Yun’an went to the old place to see that some Panbang ships had already left, but the Panbang ship that Yun’an had discussed with the captain before had a business deal. He was still there. Yun’an was brought out as soon as he approached there, especially a Panbang who was rescued by Yun’an. After seeing Yun’an, he put down the box he was moving with a “　”, and stayed far away. He made a “handshake” motion, walked over quickly, and shouted: “Mr. Xiang! I am glad to see you.” Before Yunan and Lin Buxian both wore men’s clothes to stroll around the pier, Lin Buxian changed his surname to the same. , Yunanhua’s surname is Xiang, named Xianglin.

Yun’an and the sailor shook their hands and said with a smile: “Jack, it’s been a long time.”

Jack did not expect Yun An to remember his name and happily said, “Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for saving me. The people on the boat are very kind to me. Although I am tired from work, I can go home immediately if I am paid. Yes, and saved a little money.” As he said, Jack raised his hand and motioned to Yun An to look at the cocoons formed on the palms of his palms and fingers.

Yun’an was happy for Jack and said, “Freedom is always precious. You can continue to be a sailor after you go home and report your safety. Of course, I also welcome you to come to Yan Country to find me.”

“Really? That’s great. I would love to follow my husband. When can I join?”

“No hurry, you go home and report your safety first. If your family agrees, you can come with the fleet next year. Of course, you can also bring your family. After all, there is no war here. As long as you work hard, you will definitely have food.”

“Thank you, sir!”

“Can you take me to your captain? I have something to talk to him about.”

“Of course, it is my honor to be able to lead you, sir. Please come here.”

“Thank you.”

Jack brought Yun’an to the captain’s office. The room was full of smoke. Captain Berthelem was sitting on a chair with a pair of feet in cowhide boots stacked on the table with a pipe in his mouth. .

“Captain, Mr. Xiang is here, and he wants to see you.”

Bertram took off his legs and stood up and said, “Please come in, Mr. Xiang.”

“Sir, please.” Yunan entered the office, Jack closed the door from the outside, Yunan frowned because of the smell of the room, coughed a few times, and laughed: “Sorry to disturb the captain’s leisure time.”

“Mr. Xiang sit down, I know that Mr. Xiang will not let me wait until next year.”

Yun An smiled, reached out to his arms, took out a stack of silver notes and put them on the captain’s desk, and said, “This is fifty thousand taels, plus the previous’deposit’ is enough to pay. These are all Yan Yan. The promissory note of the wealthiest family in the country, Lin’s bank, can be exchanged for cash at any time. I hope Captain Bertram will not let me down by then.”

Bertram took the silver ticket. He had been trading with Yan Guo for many years. He knew the numbers on the silver ticket. After counting the numbers, he replied: “Mr. Xiang is a truly respectable gentleman, and we will also give it to Dolphin. Mr. Xiang’s return is the same. As long as we exchange for silver, we will definitely bring the things that Mr. Xiang had ordered before next year’s trade wind season.”

Yun An shook hands with the captain and said, “I look forward to the answer sheet from Mr. Captain.”

“my honor.”

“I heard you are leaving in a few days?”

“Yes, we have to catch up with the last trade wind, otherwise it will waste several times the manpower and increase the risk of sailing.”

“Safe journey.”

“Thank you.”

…

After coming out of the dock, Yun’an bought some Panbang specialties, sent them to a firm outside the dock, and sent someone back to Yunzhai to retrieve them.

Before noon, Yun An slipped back to his room, took off his disguise and changed his clothes. A maid’s voice came from outside the door: “Master, Uncle Lu from Xisifang sent a message, and the messenger is here. Waiting at the door, please reply to the letter from the master.”

“Say it.”

“Uncle Lu said, “Shen Shisan asked the master to come to Lu’s house in Xisifang, and Uncle Lu gave the master a banquet.”

“I see, you go and tell the Lu family’s housemate that I will definitely be there.”

“Yes.”

Yun’an checked that it was early, and went to the study to read for a while, then opened the space to take out the gifts bought in Yongzhou for the eldest sister’s family, and asked Jiading to take the horse to Xisifang.

After returning from Yongzhou, looking at Zhouzhou, it is inevitable that the streets here are very narrow and the air is humid and comfortable, but the fishy smell becomes stronger as you go to Xisifang.

In Xisifang, most fishermen make their homes here. The roads are narrow. Every house has a running canal. The carriage is not very convenient. The poor horse, the saddle and the neck are all gifts…

At the main entrance of Lu’s house, there were four people in three big and one small, two of them were Jia Ding, and the other two were the old housekeeper of Lu’s house and Lu Qi, the eldest son of the Lu family.

After all, Lu Song is Yun’an’s brother-in-law. He would be too distant to pick him up in person, and it was just right to send the eldest son.

“Qi’er!”

Lu Qi turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in joy, “Six Uncles!”

Yun’an turned on the reins and got off his horse. His own family came over to lead the horse to take things. The old housekeeper also saluted Yun’an: “Master Yun, the old slaves and sons have been waiting here for a long time, please come inside.”
