260, out of Beijing
On May 20th of the 10th year of the Dali period, the Dayin Dynasty was about to marry Princess Chang'an and Khan Yujiulu Qiulun, who had succeeded Rouran, and selected ten women from aristocratic families to send them off to their marriage. People at the time were talking about it.
Humanely, Dayin has vast territory and abundant supplies. It is a great humiliation to promise marriage to marry, which is to show weakness to the Northern Di tribes and surrender to the foreign countries. It is also humanely, Dayin's move is to stabilize Rouran, so as not to become a victim in Rouran's alternation of power.
In short, even though everyone was talking, the marriage team drove out of the imperial city on time on May 20th. The guard of honor was followed by the carriage of the princess Chang'an, and then there were ten single carriages for the married women of aristocratic families. Because Gao Zhinan was very fond of the female official Mrs. Ding, Gao Zhinan begged Mrs. Ding to arrange her carriage next to Xu Shu's carriage. After leaving the city gate, no one was around. Gao Zhinan opened the movable window behind the carriage and talked to Xu Shu who lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Leaving the capital city is a new beginning, and everything in the capital city has nothing to do with us anymore!"
"Yes! Finally it has nothing to do with us! No worries!"
Listening to the sound of the wind in her ears, it was different from the sound in the capital, full of freedom and vitality. Xu Shu once thought about marrying into the Song family instead of Xu Ting, so she had already made arrangements for the maid around her. Now she is finally leaving, and she just told her to step on the snow again, but this time she took the wind away.
"I thought I would be reluctant to leave my mother!" Gao Zhinan suddenly smiled coldly, "Originally, my mother hated that her father forced her sixth sister to be a widow and forced me to marry her, but just a few days ago, my father suddenly offered to adopt a boy from the clan to raise her mother. The mother was so happy that she no longer cared about everything she had had before. She only knew that she kept talking about her father finally figured it out and finally agreed to adopt a son to continue the incense. It was like this was a great gift. She completely forgot the humiliation she had suffered. I felt it was not worth it for her, but she blamed me for not blaming her father! Today I left Beijing, but she followed her father to choose a heir in the clan, and didn't look at me for the last look..."
Gao Zhinan wiped his tears, but the tears continued to flow down unscrupulously. After all, she sacrificed herself to leave Jing not for her mother, but her mother turned around and forgot her sacrifice, forgetting her person... As strong as Gao Zhinan, she also has a fragile and vulnerable side.
"Actually, I am also happy for my mother. As early as ten years ago, my mother wanted to adopt a boy and raise him. Now she finally got what she wants. She will have something to raise in the future and have a support for the rest of her life, so I will feel more at ease when I leave!"
"It's all over! Sister Zhinan, you said that leaving the capital is a new beginning. The past can only be the past, and you have to look at the future!"
After repeatedly experiencing the Xu family's turn of deception and exploitation, Xu Shu has a deep understanding of Gao Zhinan's pain, but heartache is inevitable. Only when the number of times is too many, will she learn to get used to it slowly.
"Yes! A brand new beginning!" Gao Zhinan sighed and suddenly asked Xu Shu, "You also look worried. Do you still want to leave the Xu family? They are all so heartless. I have seen the person who came to see him off today. I didn't even see a Xu family!"
"I have long since left any hope for the Xu family. I just can't bear to leave the newly planted crabapple trees on the farm!" Xu Shu sighed in her heart. She was not as open-minded and cheerful as Gao Zhinan. She always saw the dark side first in everything. She would never be calm along the way to Rouran.
Gao Zhinan smiled and said, "If those girls heard this, they would probably cry out in anger. The feelings they were not as important as the trees in your heart!"
When Xu Shu returned to Taohua Villa to pack her bags, Gao Zhinan accompanied her back. She still remembered the heartbroken look of Taxue and others crying. In fact, the only maids around her were the maids who were good to Xu Shu. So before leaving, Xu Shu also made the most detailed arrangements for them, put down all the body contracts, gave them silver, and lived in a huge farm. She even went to visit Princess Ji, begging Princess Ji to take care of the remaining seven maids. To be careful, Gao Zhinan felt ashamed of this.
Xu Shu smiled and was about to argue, but suddenly a commotion came from the front, and the carriage gradually stopped. Xu Shu couldn't help but catch the movement. At this time, a palace maid came over and said, "Princess Chang'an is not in good health. Please rest for a while before leaving!"
Gao Zhinan sighed, "It's coming again! I had stomachache in the morning, but now I don't know where it hurts again!"
The dissatisfied with the marriage of the Chang'an princess was well-known to everyone in the marriage team. When she was studying Rouran customs and etiquette in the palace, the Chang'an princess was reluctant to do so. She either had a stern face or turned against the female official who was teaching. This morning, she was still having a stomachache and refused to dress up. It was because the Empress Dowager came with a stern face that she did not dare to make trouble again. Now she had just left the city and had something wrong.
"She is also a princess born in the legitimate state. She has no good marriage. She is forced to marry her and will inevitably feel resentment!"
Xu Shu understood the mood and actions of Princess Chang'an very well. No one would be happy when it comes to anyone. Among the ten people who gave the marriage, which of the remaining eight people was willing to do so? But they were not as relied on Princess Chang'an, and they could make their tempers fearlessly. They could only carefully hide the resentment in their hearts.
"Oh, it's also pitiful!" As a pawn that was also abandoned by his father in exchange for fame and fortune, Gao Zhinan also sympathized with the Princess Chang'an in his heart. "I heard that the Khan Yujiulu Qiulun turned out to have a Kandun, the princess of the Tiel clan. Because Rouran had a war with the Tiel clan, Khan Yujiulu Qiulun killed the Kandun, and then he asked Dayin for marriage!"
Rouran is indeed a place to look at a woman's life and go to an ant. Xu Shu felt a chill coming and couldn't help but shake her body. In other words, if one day Dayi and Rouran start a war, Princess Chang'an and others will not be able to escape the fate of being in a different place.
