Chapter 869 The inevitable path of growth!
Jiayin couldn't bear it anymore, so he said, "It takes a few days for the family to prepare before we can set off. Why don't we just rest tonight and discuss it tomorrow."
After saying that, she hugged the arms of Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying, "Tonight, grandma and mother will sleep with me."
Mrs. Li guessed that this girl must have something to say, so she quickly agreed.
Tao Hongying was also gnashing her teeth, thinking about how to force her daughter to go south, but of course she did not refuse...
Soon, everyone dispersed with their hearts full of entanglements.
After washing up and changing into soft pajamas, Jiayin sat between her grandma and mother with her hair loose, sometimes kissing her grandma and sometimes nuzzling her mother, as happily as a puppy wagging its tail.
Grandma Li and Tao Hongying are so angry that they can’t let it out.
Old Mrs. Li chased away Aunt Chang and others, and said, "Go and have a rest. I didn't call you, so you don't have to come in to wait on me."
“Yes, old lady.”
Everyone responded and bowed their heads and retreated.
Mammy Chang closed the door of the house herself, turned around and saw Xia Qing, Grandma Lin, and Shui Ling Shuiyun were there.
She thought for a while and whispered: "Sister Lin, go back and rest. Just let Xia Qing stay here with me."
After saying that, she turned to Shui Ling and Shui Yun, "Same for you, just leave one of them to wait for the princess' command.
“The masters are so kind, and they are never willing to use us at night. It would be in vain if we all stay here.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and soon, Granny Lin and Shui Ling went out.
Shuiyun and Xia Qing quickly spread bedding on the living kang, and finally asked Aunt Chang to sleep on the end of the kang while they slept on the end.
Xia Qing couldn't bear it any longer and quietly asked Aunt Chang, "Mom, if the masters go south, should we all follow them?"
Mother Chang knew that she wanted to go out to broaden her horizons, so she laughed and said, "You are the maid next to the Fourth Madam. If the Fourth Madam goes out, how can she not take you with her?"
Sure enough, Xia Qing smiled and turned over excitedly on the bed.
“I heard that pearls are very cheap in the south. If I have a chance, I will buy more. If I apply them every night, I will be as white as tofu.”
Shuiyun pursed her lips and smiled. Xia Qing was good-looking, but her skin was dark. No wonder she was obsessed with whitening.
What Xia Qing didn't know was that the sea breeze was the strongest. He might have used pearl powder on his face all year round, but a walk on the beach would have no effect at all...
mammy Chang was still going to speak when she heard two exclamations suddenly coming from the room, as if she was trying to suppress her throat, but it made people even more nervous.
The three of them all straightened their necks, waiting for their master's call at any time.
But not only were there no instructions from the room, but there was a heavy rumbling sound, like a mountain collapsing...
Shuiyun jumped up and was about to get down to the ground, but Granny Chang pulled her arm and stopped her in a low voice, "Don't go, the master didn't call!"
"But..." Shuiyun was a little anxious, fearing that his masters would be in danger.
Fortunately, the room was probably worried about them, so after a while Mrs. Li said loudly: "Don't worry about it, go to sleep, it'll be fine."
Shuiyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got into bed.
Sure enough, there was no more strange movement in the house...
On the big Kang in the back room, Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying held the little girl's hands on the left and right, but they still couldn't recover.
Jiayin felt a little guilty. Just now, in order to dispel the worries of her grandma and mother, she showed a little bit of ability.
But looking at grandma and mother like this, aren’t they frightened?
She quickly said: "Grandma, mother, you should feel relieved now.
“I said, no one can threaten my life. I don’t hurt others, I am already very kind!
“You can go to Quanzhou, see the scenery, and help my third brother find a wife. You don’t have to worry about me at all.
"Perhaps I will take a boat to pick you up before you miss me!"
“Silly girl!” Mrs. Li turned over and held her granddaughter in her arms.
Even if she saw her granddaughter’s amazing self-protection methods with her own eyes, how could she feel completely reassured?
She sighed and said: "No matter how powerful you are, you are still just a child. And a tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves. We are all gone. Who can you ask to help you if you need help?"
"Yes!" Tao Hongying patted her daughter's back gently, feeling mixed in her heart. She was proud of her daughter, but also worried.
She shook her head repeatedly, "How can I leave my child behind and go out to escape the disaster by myself?"
Hearing the good news, I felt very warm and helpless, so I could only continue to reason.
"Grandma, mother, you often say that my brothers should go out and explore when they grow up. They cannot hide at home all their lives. They must learn skills and become a strong support for their wives and children in the future, and also bring glory to our Li family. "Similarly, me too!
"I am Princess Kangle, who was personally granted the title by the emperor's uncle, and I am still a girl. I always get married, take charge of the family, or face all the powerful people of the family alone.
“I can’t always stay behind you and be a kid competing for favors. I should learn to be independent.
“Now is a good opportunity. I am only ten years old. I go out to socialize and have no elders around me. If I say something wrong or do something wrong, no one will care about me.
“Besides, I have my second uncle and third uncle helping me, but it’s really not possible. The chief steward of the Hou Mansion is stretching his neck with anticipation, just waiting to wait for me to go out.
“Even among the female relatives, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jia can give me a few words of advice and won’t see me suffer..."
Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief, and still had some vague expectations about being able to take charge of his own affairs.
“Anyway, Mom, there’s no need for you to worry about me messing up the whole new world and worrying about me being bullied!”
Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, but they had to admit that what Jiayin said made sense.
If Jiayin is an ordinary girl, pampered and hidden, she can just find a young man who knows everything about her and marry her when the time comes.
But Jiayin is a princess, and there will always be times when she has to go out and face the wind, rain and the world alone.
They are getting older day by day, and no one can protect their children for a lifetime...
Old Mrs. Li sighed, hugged her granddaughter tightly, and said no more.
Tao Hongying also turned her head, tears quietly seeping into the pillow...
Externally, Mr. Li is the boss of the Li family, but internally, Mr. Li has the final say.
The good news convinced grandma and even brought my mother along with her, so the others had no chance to make a comeback.
So, when the bleak winter sunshine shone on the earth again, it became a fact that the Li family, the young woman, the old woman and the children went south.
Mrs. Wen was also persuaded by Mr. Wen last night and packed her luggage and supplies with the Li family.
Li Zhensheng came back after sending the news. He found a large passenger ship that could accommodate a hundred or ten people.
Family members can bring more clothes and supplies to avoid inconveniencing the elderly and children on the road.
Tao Hongying went to Huiniang's house to talk, and then went to Liu Yang's house. Sure enough, Liu's sister-in-law wanted to take her second son with her to Quanzhou to arrange Liu Yang's marriage.
Logically speaking, Liu Biaotou, the father, should go there.
But the village only had support from the village chief and a few old men, so he was really worried and decided to stay.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li led the team south this time.
She has a royal title. It is decent enough to go to the woman to propose marriage on her behalf, and the woman should not be picky...
Although the good news is not leaving, I am still busy keeping my feet from touching the ground.
She wanted to prepare food for her family on the boat.
Needless to say snacks and fruits, mainly various medicines.
Seasickness, diarrhea, wind chill, even detoxification...
This busy period lasted for seven or eight days, and soon it was time to set off.
The Li family is not arrogant, and the maids and maids are also strict in their words.
Except for the village chief and Liu Biaotou, almost no one in the village knew that the Li family was going south.
Everyone’s luggage was taken to the dock for loading at night.
So, when the villagers saw the Li family getting into the carriage lightly, they thought they were all going to send their family members away.
How did you know that when we arrived at the military camp pier, the gangplank was set up and people of all ages got on the boat.
Jiayin usually didn't seem to care, but now her eyes were red. Occasionally she turned around to wipe her tears, only to find her sister-in-law standing next to her with the child in her arms.
She hurriedly urged: "Sister-in-law, get on the boat quickly!"
Wan'er shook her head and said something with a smile...
