Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Wei Lai has always been a person who keeps his promises. Now that he has agreed, no matter how unwilling he is, she still rides a horse and brings her luggage to Shangshu Mansion to pick up He Zhi in the early morning of the next day.

At the beginning of the hour, the horse's hooves tapped lightly on the bluestone streets, and Wei Lai appeared outside the door of Shangshu's mansion in a black dress.She only thought that she came early, but unexpectedly, there was already a carriage parked outside the gate of the Fashion Book Mansion.

Naturally, He Zhi hadn't gotten into the car yet, and she and Mrs. He were still standing in front of the door saying goodbye.

Mrs. He is probably still worried and unwilling for her daughter to go away with others. Although it has only been three months, she still looks sad and reluctant to let go. It seems that at this time, she still wants to prevent He Zhi from leaving, which makes He Zhi quite helpless .It wasn't until the sound of "da da" horseshoes came from the street that Mrs. He's dissuading words were interrupted.

When Wei Lai appeared in front of Shangshu's mansion on a horse, he was baptized by several eyes, among which He Zhi and Mrs. He were the most irresistible.Fortunately, He Shangshu has already rushed to the court at this time, otherwise the eyes of the family of three will be baptized to greet her...

"Morning Auntie, morning Jinrui." Wei Lai got off his horse against those gazes, and then stepped forward to say hello.

Speaking of which, this is actually the first time Mrs. He has seen Wei Lai in person. Previously, due to various reasons, He Shangshu and Miss He tried their best to avoid seeing each other.So all along, Madam He could only get to know Wei Lai from other channels. Although she has already figured out the family background and character of the future son-in-law, she has never seen him.

Mrs. He raised her head slightly, assuming the posture of a housewife, and looked at Wei Lai carefully.To say that her first impression of Wei Lai was not bad, the young man on horseback was upright and upright, and when he got off the horse, he was vigorous and vigorous, and after a closer look, he was also handsome, but he was different from the five big and three thick warriors in her impression far.

She was satisfied at the first sight, but Mrs. He did not relax her expression. She nodded reservedly with a sullen face, and then ordered: "You are Wei Lai, right? My Zhi'er is traveling with you this time. You have to take care of it properly, if there is even a slight mistake on the way, I will not forgive you when you come back!"

The first time I saw my future mother-in-law, I was warned. Even though Wei Lai always felt that she and Ms. He would have no future, he couldn't help touching his nose at this moment, feeling a little embarrassed.Of course, Wei Lai still understands what it means to be a mother, and she also replied seriously: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of you along the way."

Wei said it solemnly, and people could see her seriousness at a glance.Seeing this, Mrs. He's tense expression finally relaxed, and her tone softened a lot when she spoke again: "Xiao Wei, it's been a lot of hard work for you to take care of me this way. Zhi'er is traveling far for the first time. She hasn't even been out of the capital before, so there must be something wrong when she goes outside, so I can only rely on you to take good care of her."

Mrs. He was so polite suddenly, Wei Lai was really flattered.She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at He Zhi, but met the soft gaze of the other party... The roots of her ears began to turn red before she knew it, and Wei Lai hurriedly turned to Madam He and said, "Auntie, you are welcome, this book That's what I should do."

Seeing Wei Lai's good attitude and gentle temper, Mrs. He finally felt relieved.Seeing that it was impossible to persuade her stubborn daughter, she took Wei Lai and began to give careful instructions—it was mostly about He Zhi's living habits. She always knows more than her housewife.

Wei Lai didn't think it was too much trouble, and after listening carefully from the side, he also memorized them one by one in his heart, and nodded from time to time to show that he knew.With such a serious look, He Zhi, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckled.

"What... what's the matter?" Hearing the chuckle, Wei Lai felt a little uncomfortable.

He Zhi smiled lightly and glanced at Wei Lai, but didn't reply, but said to her mother: "Okay, mother, it's getting late now, if you keep ordering like this, we won't be able to catch up with the town to settle down at night." .”

In fact, what should be ordered is almost done, but after hearing He Zhi's words, Mrs. He still hummed unwillingly: "What's the rush? If you can't make it in time, you can leave tomorrow..."

Of course, this can only be regarded as a joke, and no one really takes it seriously.He Zhi solemnly bid farewell to her mother, and she had to give some instructions to the elders in the family, and then reluctantly let Xi Qiu help her into the carriage.

Mrs. He watched He Zhi get into the carriage, her brows were full of sadness of parting.She turned her head and glanced at Wei Lai, as if she wanted to order something more, but when she looked back, she realized that she had already said what she should say, so she opened her mouth, but nothing came out after all.

Seeing such a situation, Wei Lai couldn't help thinking of the reluctance in her mother's eyes when she left with the army, and naturally felt a little more empathy in her heart.She cupped her hands and bowed to Mrs. He, and could only solemnly promise again: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of this journey carefully, and I will definitely wait for Jin Rui to come back unscathed in three months."

At this moment, apart from nodding, Mrs. He couldn't say anything.Her lips moved, and it took a long while before she uttered two words in a slightly shifted voice: "Let's go."

Wei Lai nodded and got back on his horse.He Zhi took one last look at her mother from the car window, and waved goodbye.Then the carts and horses moved forward slowly, and finally gradually left Madam He's sight.

※※※

Autumn is high and crisp, the wind is light and the clouds are light, it is really a good time to travel.

The "da da" sound of the horse's hoof stamping on the ground, the "chacha" sound of the carriage moving, and the vague voice of someone talking eloquently, all the sounds on the official road at this moment were composed.

It was the first time for He Zhi and Xi Qiu in the carriage to go on a long trip. The furthest away from home before was to go out of the city to offer incense at Lingquan Temple on the outskirts of the city, so both of them were somewhat looking forward to this long trip.He Zhi is fine, but he opened the curtain to see the style of the outside, but Xi Qiu chattered non-stop all the way, as if looking at everything felt fresh.

Wei Lai rode by the side of the carriage. She was dressed in a black outfit, and besides the luggage, there was a knife hanging on the saddle. Coupled with her upright and upright figure, she knew that she was not easy to mess with.However, from time to time, people around were attracted by Xi Qiu's voice, and then froze in place when they saw He Zhi.

He Zhi is a beauty, but she is definitely not a beauty who can overwhelm the country and city, let alone that shocking appearance that makes people stunned at a glance.It's just that she has a pair of amazing eyes, full of brilliance and brilliance, matched with that tender gaze, even if she is not looking at you, it is easy to make people lose their minds.

It was her beautiful eyes that attracted Wei Lai to He Zhi at first sight. Even till now, she still loses her mind from time to time when she is stared at by these eyes.So she knew very well what the amazement in the eyes of those around her meant, but she didn't like it.

Slightly pulling the rein, the horse who has been with him for many years immediately took two steps to the side knowingly, just blocking the sight of those around him from probing.Naturally, it also blocked Miss He and the others from looking at the scenery in the car window.

"General Wei, you are blocking the young lady from seeing the scenery." Xi Qiu pouted a little unhappy, but in front of her was her family's future son-in-law, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only remind him.

He Zhi didn't say anything, but shifted his gaze to Wei Lai who was on the horseback, and there was a smile in those beautiful eyes.

Wei Lai only took one look, then quickly turned her head away. She was afraid that if she looked at it a few more times, she would be as dumbfounded as those people.As for Xi Qiu's words, she selectively ignored them.

Seeing that Wei Lai ignored her at all, the little girl turned around angrily, and beckoned her lady to go to the other side of the car window to see the scenery.He Zhi didn't move, instead he spoke to Wei Lai with great interest: "Wei Lai, we are already on the road, it seems that you haven't told me where your hometown is."

Wei Lai wanted to continue pretending to ignore it, but he turned his head when he heard the words, and replied with a little embarrassment: "Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention, my home is in Changning Town, Qizhou Prefecture."

"Qizhou Mansion? That's really far away, maybe five or six states are separated from the capital." He Zhi sighed casually.

Seeing that He Zhi was just chatting, Wei Lai quickly relaxed. She nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, Qizhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. I originally planned to hurry back. According to the current itinerary Come to think of it, it will take about a month."

After saying this, before He Zhi could answer, Wei Lai was stunned.

The ten-thousand-mile journey from the capital to Qizhou can be reached in more than ten days on a fast horse, but the speed of the carriage is more than twice as slow as that of riding a horse.It will take a month to go all the way.Wei Lai suddenly remembered the doubled vacation that Marshal Wei gave her, and the last reminder to say goodbye to Shang Shufu...

So, in fact, at that time Marshal Wei was sure that she would not be alone on this trip? !
