Jiang Ge pulled me and chirped,"Second Miss, you actually don't know? When you weren't around earlier, Cheng Wu and I were bored and chatted with the driver for a while. The driver said that Young Master Guo was leaving the city this morning. Last night, his young master and a few friends held a banquet to send Young Master Guo off.”
"Is there such a thing?" Why haven't I heard of it? Was Guo Jia trying to sneak away? Or did he think that there was no difference at all whether he told me or not? I couldn't care less about the car still shaking. I stood up and walked to the door. I opened the curtain and said,"Stop the car! Stop the car immediately!"
The coachman pulled the reins, and the horse neighed. The carriage shook violently a few times before it suddenly came to a stop.
The coachman jumped off the carriage and bowed to me. He asked,"Second Miss Qiao, what can I do for you?”
"Guo Fengxiao…he left the city today?" When did this happen?"
He was clearly a little surprised and didn't know why I asked this question. He hesitated for a moment before saying,"Yes, my young master wanted me to send Young Master Guo out of the city last night, but Young Master Guo was unwilling and asked me to do something for Miss.”
So it was true. I frowned, feeling an indescribable sense of loss. She knew that he was an indifferent person, but she did not expect him to leave so quietly.
I took a deep breath and suddenly felt depressed."When did he leave?"
"It should be tomorrow morning."
I looked up at the sky. It should be just after the hour. Fortunately, I came out early today. Perhaps Guo Jia hadn't gone far.
"Which door did he go out from? Let's go over and take a look now. We might be able to see each other again.”
"Miss?" The coachman looked up at me in confusion." You want to…"
"Quick, let's set off now. Don't delay the time.”
After I finished speaking, I reached out to cover the curtain and retreated back into the carriage. Not long after, the car started moving again. It turned a corner to the south steadily and instantly accelerated, speeding through the street like lightning.
Cheng Wu sat at the side, one hand supporting her head. She didn't say anything, clearly feeling a little carsick.
I was also a little dizzy, but my mind was still clear. There was only one thought in my mind, and that was to hurry over and see Guo Jia. However, wasn't it already too late?
I lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside. I passed through the streets and the city gates. The carriage had already stepped onto the official road in the suburbs. After about an hour, I saw a faint shadow at the end of the dusty bluestone road. My heartbeat instantly sped up.
Fortunately, the carriage wasn't very fast, and we chased after it with all our might. In less than an hour, we arrived in front of the carriage.
The coachman stopped the carriage by the roadside and said from outside,""Second Miss, that should be Young Master Guo's car. I'll go and stop it for Miss.”As he said that, he jumped out of the car and turned around to walk to the back.
I couldn't hold it in anymore. I lifted my skirt and jumped onto the official road.
Guo Jia's carriage came close, but before the coachman could go up to signal, it had already stopped. The curtain was lifted and Guo Jia got out of the car. He walked in front of me and sighed."Second Miss, you still came. When I saw that car from afar, I knew it was you.”
When he spoke, there was a faint hint of indifference. Even the smile on his face was a little distant. I don't know if it was my imagination. However, when I saw his attitude, I couldn't help but feel angry. I snorted and said,"You're leaving already?"
He didn't answer this question. He looked at me silently for a while and suddenly asked,"Did today's matter go smoothly?”
For a moment, I actually couldn't react to what he was saying. After thinking for a moment, I suddenly came back to my senses and said,"Empress Dowager He has already accepted the prescription, but I can't say it clearly. I really don't know if she understands what I mean.”
Guo Jia smiled." Second Young Lady, don't worry. The formula for this Mafei powder was originally circulated in the palace. Empress Dowager He has at least heard of it. Most likely, she didn't think of it, or she just couldn't get the herbs. She will understand when you remind her. There is no need to worry.”
Only then did I feel slightly relieved."That's good."
After saying that, my heart calmed down. With him pulling me, I seemed to feel that there was no point in rushing over. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Didn't he take the initiative to say goodbye to me last time?
We stood facing each other in the wind and didn't speak.
After a while, Guo Jia said,"It's getting late. I still have to find a place to stay before dark, so I won't stay any longer." It is truly beyond my expectations that Second Young Lady would come to send me off. This Guo is deeply grateful. It's not good for a girl like you to wander around outside. Since you're done, you should return home early.”
" I…" I felt that I should say something, but I couldn't think of what to say. After thinking for a long time, I finally said," Be careful on the road."”
Guo Jia looked at me patiently and nodded."Of course I know."
I looked at him again and couldn't think of anything else.
He smiled indifferently and bowed gracefully."Since there's nothing else, this Guo will bid farewell here. See you again." After saying that, he didn't look at me anymore. He turned around leisurely and slowly walked towards his carriage.
A gust of autumn wind swept past, stirring up the dust that had accumulated on the official road for years. Behind him, the figure in white was obscured.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that I was actually very, very far away from him.
After we part ways, he will soon become Cao Cao's most capable strategist. As for me, I will one day be forced to wander the River East and marry the number one scholar of the River East. After so many years, we seemed to be very close, but in fact, I didn't understand his ambition and ambition. It was also impossible for him to know that my secret came from a thousand years later.
It turned out that even though the distance was very close, it was still very far away.
Cheng Wu had already gotten out of the car and was standing beside me. She said softly,"Second Miss, Young Master Guo has already gone far away. We should go back.”
When I heard her speak, it was as if I had received a signal. I could no longer hold it in and shouted,"Young Master Guo, will we meet again?”
Guo Jia's foot had already stepped on the edge of the car door. His movements seemed to pause for a moment, but it was very short. It was so short that I suspected that it was just an illusion and fantasy. Then, as if he hadn't heard anything, he calmly boarded the car and left.
His answer came from the sandstorm.
"We'll meet again if we're fated."
The car gradually disappeared into the distance until it disappeared into the horizon.
"Miss, are you alright?" Cheng Wu's anxious voice rang out in my ears.
I came back to my senses and looked at her blankly." What did you say?”
"Miss, you grabbed my hand so tightly just now. It hurts like hell." Are you alright?"
"Ah, sorry, sorry!" I jumped up and felt that the sadness just now seemed to be an illusion. It disappeared in an instant.
"Miss, shall we go back?" Jiang Ge opened the curtain for me and urged me impatiently.
I smiled." Alright."
Looking back at the horizon, there were no longer any traces of the carriage. In this chaotic world, there was nothing that people could not see through.
There is no fixed time for gathering and dispersing, but this is the case.
