Chapter 267 It’s a good day to travel
Today is a nice and sunny day. It’s a good day to travel, break ground, and get married.
There were three carriages parked in front of the Shang Mansion. The first carriage was occupied by people, and the two carriages at the back were loaded with food for the road.
As for the other luggage, they were all put into Shang Wan’s space.
"Sister, everything is packed." Shitou came over to tell Shang Wan after checking the carriage.
Shang Wan put the written letter into an envelope and asked the steward to deliver it to the inn. After the steward left, he said to Shitou: "We'll leave when your brother-in-law comes back."
"Oh." Shitou couldn't stand still, so he spoke to Shang Wan and ran out again.
Chu Xu and Yuanyuan sat aside and ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The two children had one piece for each other, and the table was covered with cake crumbs.
"You two eat less, be careful of overeating." Xiaohuan came in carrying a big baggage, which was full of dried meat, dried meat, croquettes and the like, which she had made overnight.
Chu Xu was in the room. She couldn’t hand it over to Shang Wan to put it in the room, so she had to put it on the table first.
Yuanyuan smiled and fed the piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, "Auntie, eat."
Xiaohuan went over and opened her mouth and took a bite, then raised her hand to take it and ate it in two or two bites.
Seeing that half an hour had passed and there was still no sign of Lu Chengjing, Xiaohuan couldn't help but look outside the door, "Why isn't my brother-in-law back yet?"
"It should be soon." Shang Wan held the handkerchief. The wife wiped the mouths of the two children.
Qiao Yuan also had to go to Beijing to take the exam. She had agreed with Lu Chengjing to go together early so that they could take care of each other.
Early this morning, Ah Le came to invite Lu Chengjing to Qiao Mansion, without saying anything specific about what he was going to do. Lu Chengjing was worried that something had happened, so he followed.
Xiaohuan muttered: "I won't tell you what it is."
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, when Shang Wan wanted to send someone to Qiao Mansion to have a look, Lu Chengjing came back.
Coming with them were two carriages from Qiao Mansion and four guards.
Qiao Yuan followed Lu Chengjing into the room, with a little lingering anger in her brows.
"What happened?" Shang Wan asked in a low voice as he let Lu Chengjing help him put on his cloak.
Lu Chengjing tied up his cloak and shook his head gently at Shang Wan, meaning we would talk later.
Shang Wan did not ask further questions and just said: "It's almost time, let's go."
Everyone walked out the door. Lu Chengjing asked Shang Wan and others to get on the carriage first, and he would take charge of the affairs. He shouted aside, whispered a few words, and waited for the steward to respond one by one before getting into the carriage.
Shang Wan opened the curtain and glanced at the plaque on the door, wondering when he would come back.
Shi Changsheng took his soldiers and rode to the outside of the city first, waiting at the city gate.
Shang Wan's carriage was in front, Qiao Yu'an's carriage was behind, and then came the carriage carrying luggage. Four guards followed the carriage on horseback, and the carriage procession went all the way to the East City Gate.
On the carriage, Lu Chengjing took a sip of hot tea and spoke slowly about the affairs of Qiao Mansion under the stares of several pairs of curious eyes.
Qiao Weiwei's fiancé Zhang Ning suddenly came to break off the engagement. Qiao Yu'an was so angry that she wanted to beat her to death. The family couldn't stop her, so A Le came to look for Lu Chengjing.
Shang Wan felt strange, "I remember the wedding is on the ninth day of next month. There are not many days left. How come you suddenly came to cancel the engagement?"
Lu Chengjing pursed his lips and whispered: "Miss Qiao hasn't even come here yet, but Zhang Ning became a father half a month ago."
Xiaohuan exclaimed, "He has an extramarital affair?"
Lu Chengding’s head.
In this situation, it is impossible for the Qiao family to marry Qiao Weiwei again.
"Zhang Ning didn't go all the way." Shitou said, "I didn't confess the matter until Miss Qiao got married." Lu Chengjing shook his head, "It's not that he didn't want to hide it, his mother held the child in her arms yesterday evening The child came to the door and made a big fuss among the neighbors. The Zhang family couldn’t hide it at all.”
That's why Zhang Ning went to Qiao's house early the next morning to talk about breaking off the engagement.
I wonder how everyone in Qiao Mansion will react after hearing this.
Qiao Weiwei was so angry that she fainted. Mrs. Qiao was also so angry that she almost fainted. Qiao Yuan kicked Zhang Ning hard several times. If Qiao's father hadn't stopped him, Qiao Yuan would have killed him on the spot.
When Lu Chengjing passed by, the Qiao Mansion was in chaos. The Zhang family was crying in the Qiao Mansion, shouting for help, bullying others, and beating people to death.
The shouting could be heard far away, and those who didn't know it thought someone was killing someone in Qiao's mansion.
If the servants of Qiao Mansion hadn't stopped him at the door, someone would have run in to watch the fun.
Shang Wan asked: "How was it resolved in the end?"
"Broken off the engagement. The Zhang family was unreasonable in this matter. Even if Zhang Ning was beaten, they did not dare to really make a fuss. , let alone report it to the government."
Lu Chengjing felt a headache when he thought of the previous chaos in the Qiao Mansion. He said: "There should be another hidden reason behind this matter, but we are about to leave, so we can't find out. ”
That's why Qiao Yu'an's mood was so bad. She knew she was being plotted, but she couldn't stay for closer investigation.
In Lu Chengjing's view, if Qiao Yu'an was really stumbling over this matter and missed the day to go to Beijing, he might have really taken advantage of the intentions of the person behind it.
Xiaohuan sighed softly: "Bringing off the engagement is a hindrance to your reputation. If Miss Qiao knew about it, I'm afraid she would have to vomit."
This world is so unfair, even if it is wrong, In Zhang Ning, it may be difficult for Qiao Weiwei to find her husband's family in the future.
Shang Wan feels that Xiaohuan is just worrying. When Qiao Yuan becomes famous, is he still worried that his sister will not be able to marry?
By then, Qiao Weiwei may be able to find a husband many times better than Zhang Ning.
While talking, the convoy left the east city gate.
Shang Wan heard someone calling him outside the carriage. He raised his hand to lift the curtain and looked outside, meeting Madam Shu's eyes.
Hua Niangzi smiled and waved to her, "Wanwan, let's see you off together, Xiaohuan is coming too, we sisters can talk."
Shang Wan and Xiaohuan hugged Yuanyuan After getting off the car, Chu Xu wanted to follow him, but Shitou stopped the child and said, "The women are talking, why are you following them?"
Chu Xu puffed up his mouth and sat still.
"Baby, come and give Aunt Hua a hug." Lady Hua stretched out her hand to hug Yuanyuan and kissed her pink little face several times, "Don't forget Aunt Hua."< br>
"Yeah." Yuanyuan nodded her little head obediently.
“Don’t forget Auntie Lou either.” Mrs. Lou snatched Yuanyuan into her arms, “Remember to come back with your mother for a visit.”
“If you don’t have time to come back, you can just send a letter. Madam Tang came over and pinched her round face, "Aunt Tang will ask someone to bring you your favorite snacks when the time comes."
As soon as she heard that there were snacks, Yuanyuan's big eyes sparkled, and she immediately agreed: "Okay."
"Just spoil her." Shang Wan reached out and hugged Yuanyuan back, "I bought it last time when I went shopping. There is also a big box.”
Yuanyuan hugged her mother’s neck and pouted. Zaizai didn’t mind that there were too many snacks.
“Have a nice trip.” Mrs. Shu handed the baggage on her arm to Xiaohuan, “Sisters, I would like to express my gratitude.”
Xiaohuan looked at her sister and saw Shang Wan nodding before accepting it. come over.
Everyone talked for a while, and while they were talking, Mrs. Lou turned her head and wiped away her tears. When she cried, the others' eyes were also red, and their eyes were full of reluctance.
I can send you off after a long journey, but you will eventually have to say goodbye.
Shang Wan finally said "Take care" and pulled Xiao Huan back to the carriage.
