After many twists and turns, Guo Jing and Huang Rong finally saw a big banyan tree in a poor nest in the west of Beijing. They saw Mu Nianci, who had been waiting for a long time, at the entrance of the alley beside the banyan tree.
When Mu Nianci saw Guo Jing and the other man, she quickly went up to them and said,"Why is it so late? Could it be that something happened in the wang fu?”Huang Rong said," It's all that waiter's fault. He couldn't even tell me the address. He only said that it was under Banyan Tree Alley in the west. What? Beijing is so big, and there are so many alleys and banyan trees in the west. It took me a long time to find them." Sister Mu, Rong 'er's feet are tired from walking. I'm so tired.”Seeing Huang Rong like this, Mu Nianci felt relieved knowing that nothing was wrong. She also felt that Huang Rong's coquettish appearance was unusually cute, so she couldn't help but laugh. Huang Rong kept saying," Sister Mu doesn't even care about Rong 'er!"”
Although Guo Jing, that blockhead, felt that their coquettish smiles were very attractive, he interrupted their fun and asked,"Miss Mu, where's Uncle Yang? Are you all right?" Huang Rong rolled her eyes at Guo Jing when she heard him say such unpleasant words. But Brother Jing is so sensible. He always thinks of others first.'
Mu Nianci patted her forehead and said to Guo Jing,"Look at me, I forgot. Father is inside and is waiting anxiously. Let's go in and talk. It's not convenient to talk at this street.”
After entering an extremely ordinary and dilapidated house in the alley, the anxious Yang Tiexin saw Guo Jing and the others and immediately asked,""How was it? How was the situation after you went to the Imperial Residence?”Seeing how anxious Yang Tiexin was, Guo Jing hurriedly replied,""Uncle Yang, don't worry. We've already investigated the situation of the Zhao wangfu. Now, Wanyan Honglie isn't in the wangfu. The masters were also taken away. However, Aunt Yang, she...。”
Yang Tiexin, who understood Bao Xiruo's personality, said dejectedly,""Your aunt doesn't want to go with you, right? Did she say that she didn't have the face to return to Niu Village? She cherishes the weak, she's just that stupid!" Suddenly, he thought of something."What about Kang 'er? Was she with her mother? (Guo Jing nodded) That's good, that's good. I'm just afraid that Xi Wei will take things too hard."
Mu Nianci advised," Father, don't worry too much. We'll be able to see Godmother tonight, and Sister is with Godmother. At least for now, they're the Princess Consort. Nothing will happen to them." Don't think too much. We should rest up. We still have to go to the prince's mansion when the sun rises. We have to leave the city at dawn.”
He knew that Mu Nianci was telling the truth and that anxiety was useless. However, humans were human because they had emotions and desires. Therefore, rationality was one thing and feelings were another.
The gloomy atmosphere made the lively Huang Rong not dare to speak casually. After Guo Jing and the others hurriedly finished their dinner, they carefully discussed the escape plan. It was nothing more than secretly taking Bao Xiruo out of the Prince's mansion and then sitting in the carriage. When they reached the city gate, it was almost time for the rooster to crow. The city gate was about to open. After they left the city, it might be noon when someone discovered that Bao Xiruo was missing. This was because it was not the first time Bao Xiruo had stayed alone in the thatched cottage for the night. The key was how to convince Bao Xiruo. This could only be done by Yang Tiexin. Yang Kang was a junior, while Guo Jing, Mu Nianci, and Huang Rong did not have a deep relationship with Bao Xiruo. Moreover, Bao Xiruo's heart knot was related to Yang Tiexin, and only Yang Tiexin could resolve it.
Although none of them were sleepy, other than Yun Feng, they were all meditating, closing their eyes and pretending to be asleep. They slowly waited until it was time to get ready and set off.
The carriage was pulled to an alley two streets away from the Prince's mansion. Mu Nianci was watching over the carriage. Guo Jing's martial arts were the best, so he had to go to the Prince's mansion. Huang Rong would not be willing to wait here with Mu Nianci, so she followed him. Although Yang Tiexin's martial arts were the worst, he was the main force in persuading Bao Xiruo. Of course, he could not be left behind. As for Yun Feng, the best time to sleep was during the early hours of the night, whether it was in the modern world or in this world. Therefore, the carriage was still used as a bed for a while. After dawn, it would be useless, so he did not join in the fun.
Huang Rong led the way, avoiding the heavy guards and arriving at the thatched cottage in the depths of the mansion. Yang Tiexin saw the cottage that he had dreamed of countless times. It was the cottage that contained his happiness from more than ten years ago. He stood at the door hesitantly. He did not know if the gentle Bao Xiruo was still waiting for him to return home when he opened the door. He said softly,"Husband, welcome home."
In the middle of the night, it was inconvenient for Yang Tiexin and Guo Jing to enter the room directly. Although Yang Tiexin was the head of the Yang family, he had not seen Bao Xiruo for more than ten years. Bao Xiruo needed some time to adapt. So Huang Rong told them to wait outside the house while she went in to wake Bao Xiruo and her daughter.
Yang Kang did not sleep too soundly. When Huang Rong came in, she woke up. After gently waking Bao Xiruo, she lit an oil lamp and went outside to call Yang Tiexin and the others in.
Everything in the room was the same as it had been more than ten years ago. Yang Tiexin's body couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the familiar scenes. Bao Xiruo looked at Yang Kang strangely. He didn't understand why Yang Kang would wake her up in the middle of the night and bring someone into the house. It was a very serious problem to enter a woman's house in the middle of the night during the Song Dynasty. The middle-aged man gave her a very strange feeling, as if he was a very important and familiar person who she had never seen before.
Yang Tiexin's appearance had changed greatly after more than ten years of hardship and loneliness. There was only a dim oil lamp in the room, and Yang Tiexin was standing in a relatively dark place, so Bao Xiruo could not see his face clearly. However, Bao Xiruo's life in the Imperial Residence did not leave any traces on her face. Other than being a little more mature, she was almost the same as she was a decade ago. Yang Tiexin looked at Bao Xiruo's beautiful face greedily. His burning gaze made her feel very embarrassed.
Bao Xiruo was slightly angry, but it was inconvenient to talk to a man he had never met, so he said to Guo Jing,"Jing 'er, why did you and Rong' er come over in the middle of the night?”
Without waiting for Guo Jing's reply, Yang Tiexin walked to the place where the iron spear was placed and picked it up to feel around. Bao Xiruo saw this person being so rude and said in surprise,""Please respect yourself. This is my most important thing. Please put it down, okay?”
" This spear is rusted," Yang Tiexin said as he stroked the spear." It needs to be sharpened."”His tone was full of desolation, which made Bao Xiruo stunned. When Yang Kang and Huang Rong saw this situation, they consciously stepped aside and pulled Guo Jing, who didn't know what had happened, so that they could have a good chat.
Yang Tiexin hung the iron spear back on the wall. He looked at a broken plow beside the spear for a moment and said,""The plowshare is damaged. Tomorrow, ask Zhang Mu 'er from the East Village to add a pound and a half of iron and make a dozen.”Hearing this, Bao Xiruo's body trembled and he was speechless for a long time. He stared at Yang Tiexin and said,""You... You're not a good person. What did you say?" "I said that the plowshare is damaged. Tomorrow, I'll ask Zhang Mu 'er from the East Village to add half a kilogram of iron and make a dozen." Yang Tiexin said slowly.”Bao Xiruo's legs were sore and weak. He fell on the chair and said in a trembling voice,""You... You're not a good person. Who are you? How did you…How did you know about the night my husband died?。。What did you say that night?"
Yang Tiexin didn't answer. He walked to the side of the table and opened the drawer. There were a few sets of men's green shirts and pants that were exactly the same as the ones he used to wear. He took out a cloth shirt and put it on, saying,"I have enough clothes to wear! Your body is weak and you have a child. Rest well and don't make clothes for me.”These words were what he said to her eighteen years ago when he saw Bao Xiruo sewing a new shirt for him while she was pregnant. She rushed to Yang Tiexin's side and pulled up his sleeve. As expected, she saw a scar on his left arm. She could not help but be surprised and happy. However, she had been sure that her husband was dead for eighteen years. Now that he was back, it was like a ghost had appeared. She immediately hugged him tightly and cried,"You... You're not a good person. Take me to... I'm not afraid of ghosts. I'm willing to be a ghost and be with you.”Yang Tiexin hugged his wife as tears streamed down his cheeks. After a while, he said,""Do I look like a ghost to you?" "No matter if you're a human or a ghost, I won't let you go." Bao Xiruo hugged him.”"Are you not dead?" Are you still alive? Then... Then…" He turned to look at Yang Kang.
" Mother, it's Father. It's really Father. He's not dead." Yang Kang choked with tears. It's just that he couldn't find us for more than ten years. Moreover, he suffered a lot and traveled outside, so father has aged a lot!”
Bao Xiruo touched Yang Tiexin's face and said in a low voice,""It's true, it's true. You're really not dead. I... I'm so happy. This is... It's true, isn't it, isn't it, you won't disappear again, will you?”Yang Tiexin was overwhelmed by the joy of their reunion. He could only nod his head and pull Yang Kang over. The three of them hugged their heads and felt this rare kinship!
Although this place was remote, it was still within the Prince's mansion. Moreover, Bao Xiruo was still a princess in name. It was impossible for him to be left here without anyone's care, so the three of them did not dare to cry out in pain. They could only suppress their excitement. After a long time, the three of them separated. However, Yang Tiexin still held Bao Xiruo and Yang Kang's hands tightly, as if they would disappear if he let go. Bao Xiruo lowered his head, and a trace of pain and determination appeared in his eyes. Yang Tiexin and his daughter, who were still immersed in happiness, did not notice it, but Huang Rong, who had been paying attention, did. Although she did not understand why Bao Xiruo would do this, she still took it to heart.
Although Guo Jing didn't know what to do, he was a decisive person. Yun Feng had also taught him, intentionally or unintentionally, that a man should have courage. He should make decisions when he should, and do what he should do when he should. He shouldn't be affected by other things. Therefore, he had no choice but to interrupt the Yang family reunion and said,"Uncle Yang, Aunt, Second Sister, we should leave the Prince's mansion first. I'm afraid Miss Mu is waiting anxiously outside.”
Only then did Yang Tiexin come to his senses."Yes, Jing 'er is right. Let's leave first!”It was rare for Guo Jing to behave like this. Yang Kang naturally looked at Guo Jing with affection. Unfortunately, Guo Jing was an insulated person and did not feel Yang Kang's affection. Huang Rong also looked at Guo Jing and thought," Why is Brother Jing suddenly so bold?'
Bao Xiruo told Yang Tiexin that he had something to pack. After rejecting Yang Kang's offer of help, he walked into the inner room and came out after a while. However, he did not have any packages in his hands, and the others did not care.
