Chun Yan, Chun Yi, bringing Xia Yu, Xia Chan were currently speaking in the hall, hearing the wife's voice, the few of them could not help but laugh, Chun Yi quickly stood up and walked to the door, lifting up the curtain to allow the wife in, and laughed: "Mom, it's true, you've already come back, so let's talk, if you don't speak, we wouldn't know that you're outside!"
Although Chun Yi was unhappy, she was the son of the Yang family. It was fortunate that they didn't mention what had happened in the Young Mistress' room.
The old woman gave a coy smile and replied, "Miss Chun Yi was wrong about this old woman. This old woman had told Young Master that she wanted to get back to the young mistress, but who knew that he would forget about it the moment he entered the room.
Chun Yi looked at her and didn't seem to panic. She waved the handkerchief and asked, "Where are you going? Have the young masters and granduncles of the Dao Seeking Sect come back?"
"Aiyo, I went to call the door. The gatekeeper said that he hasn't come back yet, so he might not be that fast."
Chun Yi felt uneasy. It had been almost a month, why hadn't she returned to the capital?
"You can leave now, I'm afraid that Young Mistress won't have the time for this!" Chun Yi called out to her again and gave her a handful of copperplate from her pocket. She smiled and said, "Mom, don't refuse. This was supposed to be your errand boy."
After receiving the reward, the old granny happily left. Mu Rousang then asked from inside: "Chun Yi, is my brother still not back yet?"
The Spring Opinions alarmed her. She turned around and entered the room, replying, "Yes, don't worry, Young Mistress. Perhaps there will be good news tomorrow morning."
Yang Zixuan also comforted them from the side: "Your brother is not an ordinary scholar, the four servants he brought along are all pretty good at martial arts, not to mention that the Princess Huaiqing even sent people to protect them in the dark. Don't worry, the two of them will definitely be safe and sound."
When Mu Rousang thought about it, she still felt that she was overthinking things. In the end, Mu Jinzhi had never been this far away from her before, but she did not expect her words to be correct.
In March in Jiangnan, peach blossoms flew all over the place
Furthermore, with Mu Jinzhi riding on the official ship and travelling smoothly, Wei Ping was someone who knew how to talk. The two of them chatted happily, and Princess Jing'an also became more familiar with Liu Guizhi.
During this time, she once again heard from Liu Guizhi a story that Mu Jinzhi had never told her before. As she lamented the more in her heart, she knew that she had picked up a treasure, thus, she who was originally a little seasick, did not feel dizzy anymore. Her legs and stomach also no longer trembled, and would often throw flirty glances at Mu Jinzhi with her back, scaring Mu Jinzhi until he thought that she had been possessed.
With great difficulty, he safely arrived at the pier outside the little village mountain. Mu Jinzhi was momentarily stunned, such a wide green stone pier, was it really a new small hill pier?
He looked up at the sky. 'Dad, mom, have you seen that the villagers don't have to worry about food and clothing anymore? And little sister, she married a good husband in the capital, so her days went smoothly.
When Princess Jing'an came out from the cabin, she saw that his face was filled with grief, so she walked over to Mu Jinzhi and shouted: "Husband!"
Mu Jinzhi's eyes were filled with slight pain, and he said: "It's a pity that little sister can't come back together!"
Princess Jing'an secretly used her long sleeves to cover herself as she pulled his hand and said: "Husband, there is still this concubine accompanying you." Mu Jinzhi knew that he had gotten ahead of himself, so, during his stay in Office of the Crown Prince, he worked extremely hard. Luckily, Mu Rousang often used spatial water to cook various kinds of soup and sent people over to drink from them.
"Yes, the boat has stopped. Your husband will bring you home!"
The word "go home" heavily struck Princess Jing'an's chest. That's right, this was Mu Jinzhi's home.
She smiled and said, "Alright! Father and Mother will definitely like this obedient wife of mine. "
Mu Jinzhi scratched her nose and laughed: "Naughty!"
"Darling, everyone at the dock has seen it!" Princess Jing'an never thought that he would behave in such a intimate manner in public.
Mu Jinzhi carelessly held her hand. At this time, the boatman had already built a wide wooden board, and laughed: "My wife, your husband is going to bring you ashore. Don't be afraid, our little mountain village is not like those places in the capital. You'll know soon enough. "
"The Hibiscus of the Moon!" The village chief had already received the letter and was counting the days until his return.
Mu Jinzhi's eyes were moist, the village chief's eyes were no longer as bright and lively as he remembered. His silver hair was neatly combed, and a withered old hand was grabbing onto his old partner, the copper smoke.
He brought Princess Jing'an up to the village chief and greeted him with the etiquette of a junior: "Village Head Grandpa, how have you been?"
"Good, good, good!" The village chief was so happy that he could not even close his teeth, he could only look at Mu Jinzhi from head to toe.
"Second Uncle, you're here too!" Mu Jinzhi noticed Second Uncle Qin standing behind the village chief.
Second Uncle Qin's hair had already turned white. After not seeing him for more than a year, he had grown a lot older and fattened up.
"Stinky brat, it's good that you came back. After you guys went to the capital, your second aunt saw Tian'er muttering, worried that you two weren't eating well or sleeping well, and always asked me if the Northern Territories were eating differently from our south, I don't know where she got it from. Luckily, when the Sang girl got married, she went to see the peach blossoms and iron tree, otherwise my ears would probably be calluses from her nagging."
Mu Jinzhi really enjoyed Second Uncle Qin's nagging. He thought that his sister would definitely be very happy when she heard his words.
"Second Uncle, didn't we just come back to see you!?" Is Second Aunt okay? I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Iron Tree has given birth to a big fat boy? "
The Second Uncle Qin hastily nodded his head and laughed, "That's right, now that the peach blossoms have a body, when September falls, the child will probably fall to the ground. Your second wife said she was blessed and came here at the right time."
When the Second Uncle Qin talked about his own family, he could not stop until the village chief stealthily poked him with a stick of smoke. He then stopped awkwardly and laughed, "Second Uncle just wants to tell you that everyone is doing well."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Mu Jinzhi was pulling a woman and hurriedly asked: "Is this your family's young wife?"
Mu Jinzhi pulled the Princess Jing'an beside him and laughed: "Second Uncle, this is Yu Shu, my wife!"
Princess Jing'an opened her mouth, Mu Jinzhi quietly pinched the back of her hand, she immediately called out Second Uncle happily, to the point that Second Uncle Qin's eyes were narrowed into a line.
"Hey, where's the Sang girl? Why didn't she come back with the young master of the Yang family? Your second wife knew that you guys were coming back, but she surrounded that old locust tree in the courtyard, and no one dared to get close to it. She said that it was Sang girl's favorite dish, made from locust flowers, and added a new one to the courtyard every year, but she was unwilling to cut down that old locust tree, saying that it was for Sang girl to keep.
On one hand, she had always been a lovable and innocent girl since she was young, and Qin Ershen had treated her as his other daughter. On the other hand, she treated Qin Chun Mu, Qin Tie Shu, and Qin Taohua like her own brothers and sisters. The Qin family had received her kindness.
When Second Uncle Qin was too old to walk, and when he saw his family's great-grandchildren crawling all over the ground, he would often sit under the old locust tree and reminisce about the past. At that time, Qin Ershen had already gone ahead of him, so he would often tell his great-grandchildren that, when people must be grateful, no one should care about who gets what they gain or lose. Only then would they be able to live together in the long term.
Furthermore, this was the first time that the Princess Jing'an had seen someone with a different background from the capital. She was touched, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that she could bring up such a good man like Mu Jinzhi.
Wei Ping also saw two old men after he got off the boat. Seeing that everyone was here, the village chief said, "Old Li is too old. We were afraid that he would not be able to endure the spring breeze, so we invited him to sit at the pier."
Wei Ping was anxious to meet his father, so everyone followed him and hurried to the tea house. Mu Jinzhi brought Princess Jing'an along to meet Li Zheng, who was similarly too old to move at all.
Seeing that everyone was present, the Second Uncle Qin hurriedly sent a servant to bring a few carriages over, and also brought an ox-cart to help pull the luggage.
Princess Jing'an and Mu Jinzhi got on the carriage, and curiously sized up the green mountain and water. Taking a deep breath, he said: "Husband, the village chief and Second Uncle Qin earlier were the two old men that you mentioned before."
"Yes, they are all very kind old people, me." He paused for a moment before continuing, "I did not mention your title, so I hope that my wife will not be angry."
Princess Jing'an was not angry, and said: "I know that you are doing this on purpose, but I do not understand!"
Mu Jinzhi liked her straightforward personality the most, hence he laughed: "Village Head Grandpa and Second Uncle Qin treat me and my sister extremely well. Back then, they took care of me and my sister, so we grew up safe and sound and should be thankful to them, furthermore, in these few years, although there have been many raising child s in the little mountain village, when we returned to the village, we should have been like that."
Princess Jing'an tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally saying: "What you mean is, in their eyes, I'm just your wife."
Mu Jinzhi laughed: "This is only one of them, the villagers in my small mountain village all live together, they are simple and unsophisticated, and today, the small mountain village is much better than before. But the relationship between the villagers before was much better now, and I do not want them to know your identity, because if they knew your royal identity, then the majority of the villagers would be terrified, and would not be able to take my wife seriously!"
Princess An thought for a long time. She had never thought that the princess' status was so high compared to that of the commoners. Today, however, she felt a deep affection for her that the imperial clan did not have.
Some of them were giving dried goods to, while others were giving fresh ones. Originally, Qin Ershen was very sad that Mu Rousang didn't come back, why not, Princess Jing'an was also a person who knows how to cause trouble, hence Qin Ershen had a smile on his face everyday.
