NOVEL NEXT Chapter 450 Leaving Kyoto
Jiang Minghong had one day off in January. In the afternoon, Jiang Mingyue and her children waited outside the academy early.
Jiang Mingyue squatted beside her children and pointed at the academy: "This is Hengshan Academy. Your uncle is going to school soon. You will be able to see him soon. Are you happy?"
"happy!"
"Someone's out."
The dumplings make milky sounds.
Jiang Mingyue turned around and saw that they were students in the academy. She knew that Minghong and the others had finished class. She held her children's hands and waited aside.
After burning the incense, Tuanzi suddenly let go of her hand and shouted loudly.
"Uncle...uncle..."
Before Jiang Mingyue saw her younger brother, Tuanzi had already run towards the academy.
"Slow down! Don't fall."
Seeing Wang Zhong chasing after her, she felt reassured and did not move. She looked in the direction her son ran and soon saw Minghong and Shen Yu.
Jiang Minghong looked at Tuanzi running over, his eyes softened instantly, and he knelt down and hugged him.
"When did you come?"
"It's been a while."
Tuanzi said and stretched out his hand to Shen Yu.
"Second Uncle Shen hugs me!"
Shen Yu took him over with a smile.
"Well, it's a little heavier again."
"I'm a little older!"
Jiang Mingyue looked at the two young men walking over and smiled softly.
"We have worked hard this month, let's go home!"
Jiang Minghong said "OK" and picked up An Anjing Tao.
"Do you miss your uncle Putao?"
A slight dimple appeared on Putao's face: "I think!"
"Uncle also wants grapes." He took out a little rabbit from his arms and stuffed it into her hand.
"Thank you uncle!"
Tuanzi looked at the rabbit in his sister's hand and groaned.
"Uncle is partial!"
Jiang Minghong was a little embarrassed when he was caught by Tuanzi giving gifts in private, so he hurriedly took out a candy and stuffed it into his nephew's mouth.
A few people chatted and laughed before getting on the carriage and returning to Qingshi Alley.
In the living room, Jiang Minghong fed the grapes and asked, "Sister, have everything been arranged at home?"
"Arrangements have been made in Kyoto, Wanping and the village."
"Take a cargo ship or a merchant ship?" Shen Yu asked.
"Take the official ship!"
Jiang Minghong and Shen Yu were both a little surprised when they heard this, because only the family members of officials of third rank or above were eligible to ride on official ships.
Jiang Mingyue looked at the two people who looked surprised.
"The official ship was arranged by Taoist Priest Changsheng and said it was safer."
She gently touched her son's head.
"Putao and I are also guilty of Tuanzi."
Jiang Minghong reacted immediately after hearing this.
"Tuanzi recognizes Taoist Changsheng as his adoptive father? Brother-in-law agrees?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded lightly and added some dishes for the two of them: "In the future, when I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourselves in the academy. You have to balance work and rest when studying, and you have to relax well when it's time to relax."
"Sister, there is no need to worry about us. We are not children anymore. We will take care of ourselves."
Jiang Mingyue smiled: "Well, you have all grown up."
She paused and looked at Shen Yu: "Xiaoyu, when will you get married?"
Shen Yu was inevitably a little embarrassed when he mentioned his life-long event, but he quickly adjusted his emotions.
"We can talk about marriage after I pass the Jinshi exam."
"I hope your brother-in-law and I can come back to attend your wedding banquet by then."
After the three of them joked for a while, Jiang Minghong asked, "Sister, has Uncle Luan made all the arrangements?"
"Well, they made arrangements early. If they didn't have to wait for us, they would have set off long ago."
This time Luan will also go to Yuanjiang Mansion with them, and then return to his ancestral home from Yuanjiang Mansion. Originally, they were going to set off in March, but in order to travel with them, they had to wait until now.
"When do Uncle Luan and Second Brother Qi plan to return?"
"No matter what, it will take a year or two!"
Jiang Mingyue was not sure, but it was rare for Luan Yi to go back, and he was returning to his hometown in fine clothes, so he might stay in his ancestral home for a while.
Jiang Minghong nodded and turned to talk about his father and mother. He just wanted his sister to fulfill his filial piety in front of his two elders after he returned home.
The three of them chatted until the end of Xu Shi that day before they dispersed. The next day, after Jiang Sanniang and Ryan arrived, a group of them returned to Wanping County in great force.
At noon, Jiang Mingyue had lunch with everyone, and with everyone's blessings, she led her children onto the boat under their watch.
"Go back! Let's see you tomorrow." Jiang Mingyue smiled and waved to everyone.
The official ship sailed slowly, getting faster and faster, until the figures of the people on the shore could not be seen clearly, Jiang Mingyue looked away. Although there was a lot of reluctance in her heart, she was mostly looking forward to it. Their family would soon be together. They will be reunited and she will be able to see her parents soon.
Putao glanced at his mother who had been standing for a long time, then turned to look at his brother.
The two siblings looked at each other for a few seconds. Although they didn't say a word, they seemed to understand each other's meaning.
The dumpling ran towards his mother.
"Mother, mother, fish, what a big fish!"
Putao turned his head and looked at the water. After a few breaths, several carps suddenly jumped out of the water. Putao looked at the fish with a slight smile on his face.
Jiang Mingyue was pulled by her son to her daughter's side. She looked at the carp swimming in the water and smiled. It was really a good sign. They would definitely have a smooth journey.
On the dock, Changsheng held Cheng Susu's hand.
"It's a rare trip down the mountain, how about we go shopping and then go back?"
Cheng Susu looked away and nodded heavily.
"Let me show you around! After all, I have lived here for so long, so I am more familiar with it."
"it is good!"
Jiang Minghong saw Chang Sheng and the two left, turned to look at Shen Yu and said, "Let's go too! How about going to the private school to see the Master first, and then returning to Kyoto?"
Shen Yu said "Hmm", followed Jiang Minghong and got on his horse, heading towards Yu's private school.
…………
It was both the first time for Tuanzi and Putao to take a boat ride. They were extremely excited at the beginning and were full of curiosity about everything.
Five days later, the two of them were a little tired. Fortunately, their uncle Qi Yongsi, Wang Zhong, and Yun Shu accompanied them to play every day, so they did not make any noise about getting off the boat.
Day after day, in mid-May, with the harvest in various counties and the safe arrival of summer grain, Xie Yuan, who had been busy for several months, had a rare moment of leisure. Although he knew that it would take several days for Mingyue and the others to arrive, Every day he would ride for half an hour to the dock outside the city to have a look, and then return to the Yamen after waiting for a while.
On May 20th, Xie Yuan stayed at the dock for two-quarters of an hour. When he returned to the Yamen, it was completely dark.
"Master, Master Jiang is here."
Xie Yuan knew that his father-in-law was coming and walked quickly into the living room.
Seeing that his son-in-law was back, Jiang Wen took the initiative to pour a cup of sour plum soup and handed it to him.
"Going to the dock again?"
Xie Yuan said 'hmm' and drank a cup of sour plum soup. He felt much more comfortable.
"Dad is coming back at this time, but what happened on Crucian Carp Island?"
Jiang Wen shook his head.
"It's very good over there. A lot of shops have been built now. In the past few days, there are still some bold water barbarians who go to the island to exchange pearls for food, cloth and the like."
Knowing that nothing happened on Crucian Carp Island, Xie Yuan felt relieved.
