The carriage galloped out of the capital.
The huge city gate behind him slowly closed in the golden sunset, and the night became more and more dark with the distance from the city, which made the sky black, covered the original sound of prosperity, and made the sound of horse's hooves on the official road clear.
Jiang Xue sat quietly in the car for a long time.
Finally, I didn't hold back. I lifted the car curtain by the window and looked towards the rear: the bright lanterns on the city tower were getting farther and farther away in the sight, and slowly faded down, like the cold stars hanging sparsely in the night.
She always thought that if one day, when she finally gave up everything and left the capital, she would be as happy as a cage bird.
But it didn't work out.
At parting, Xie Wei's disappointed and resolute words were just like a vicious curse, which turned into a dark cloud. A gust of wind kept hovering in her mind and enveloping her heart.
There is no real freedom in the world.
Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, as long as there are obstacles in your heart
I'll always be in the cage!
What does he know?
It's just threatening her, forcing her, and not wanting her to leave the capital!
Jiang Xuening took back her eyes and closed them slowly.
She forced herself to clear up her confused thoughts, only counting the sound of the driver waving the whip in front of her, so that she would not think about the extremely unexpected things that happened in Xie Wei's house.
It's a long way from the capital to Shu. It's three thousand miles away.
Although there were three hundred Li, six hundred Li and even eight hundred Li expeditions, Jiang Xuening was able to take a trip in ten or even several days. Although Jiang Xuening didn't bring many salutes, he also carried a carriage, two maids tang'er and lian'er, and his family's escort to ensure safety. Even if the horses were well chosen, they couldn't be compared with the imperial court, so the weather was fine When it's good, traveling more than 100 miles a day is the best.
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, so it is suitable for traveling;
but in summer, there are many storms, so when the weather is not suitable, they have to stay in the post station or inn, or even stay in the village.
Jiang Xuening was used to living in the capital in his last life, but he was determined to go to Shu earlier. It was not convenient for him to eat and live all the way. Instead, he forced himself to lose a lot of weight.
When we got to the edge of the Yellow River, we caught up with the flood.
There are starving people everywhere, and there are starving people on the road.
I don't know where a lot of Tianjiao people came out and spread rumors that the imperial court was incompetent and the monarch was ignorant. They said that it was the emperor's bad work that led to the natural disaster. They also opened porridge sheds to give alms, but they held people's hearts in their hands.
Jiang Xuening was not in the court or an official. Even though he could not see such a tragic scene, he could not save so many victims. Although he saw the Tianjiao's plan clearly and was worried, he could look back and think that the Tianjiao's words were not "rumors". Xie Wei's strategy had killed the Tianjiao in the last life, so he had his own insight into these things There is no need to be reminded.
She was so cruel that she let the coachman go on.
It is almost from early summer to early autumn when you cross the Yellow River, Luoyang, Sichuan Road and Chengdu. The scenery you see along the way is also changed from the vast plain to the Wei River soup and the natural danger of Sichuan Road. Finally, it is the Tianfu fertile field surrounded by mountains.
You Fangyin had received the news that she was coming to Sichuan. She bought a house for her in Chengdu and Ziliujing with her own money in advance. She lived in one place for a long time and settled down in another. She also picked up the time and arrived at the post station in Chengdu half a month in advance.
When Jiang Xuening came down from the carriage, he almost didn't recognize anyone.
Delicate and pale, and full of the dust of servants, she looks much thinner than before because of the fatigue of running for a long time. She even has a feeling of loneliness and depression that can't be described. At the first sight, you Fangyin almost shed tears.
Ren Weizhi was embarrassed and curious. He stood in the distance and didn't approach for a long time.
But Jiang Xuening laughs and helps you Fangyin, who salutes himself.
When I look around, I can see that the phenology is different from that of the capital. The passers-by speaking the dialect of Shu, except for you Fangyin, who came to meet her, are very strange everywhere, which gives her a sense of wandering in a foreign land.
There was such a trance moment that Xie Wei's words echoed in his ears again.
But then there is novelty and joy.
She ignored the strange sadness and emptiness.
In the next two years, Jiang Xuening was invisible in Ren's saltern. In order to promise Shen Zhiyi, she expanded her business regardless of the consequences. All businesses with fast money had traces of her involvement, and the way of making money quickly by issuing silver stocks was gradually popularized in the important commercial towns along the Yangtze river.
In the next year, she had secretly contacted Yan Lin.
Jiang Xuening makes herself have no time to think about it. She never wrongs herself on food and clothing. The people below listen to her, and no one above can control her. What's more, there are no hypocritical and tedious social activities.But even so, still dare not stop.
She was afraid that once she stopped and had a moment of leisure to think quietly, she would find that even if she had made the right choice to come to Sichuan, her two-year defection was only a demonstration of how correct that person was.
