August 8th, set off.

The huge convoy passed through the streets of Shuoyang City, and on both sides of the streets were the people of the city who were respectfully seeing off Concubine Liu and others.

Of course, the people in the city also came to watch the fun.

Cheng Wan was riding a horse at the front of the team. Her delicate face was full of seriousness and her aura was so imposing that people could not help but ignore the fact that she was a teenage girl.

"When I saw Marquis Zhaoping before, she usually had a smile on her face. But today, it's very different."

"Isn't it? Look at his aura, he is no less powerful than those high-ranking officials!"

"Have you ever met a high official?"

"Well, aren't all high-ranking officials like that? They're so scary when they keep a straight face and don't say anything. It makes you want to kneel down and kowtow to them."

……

"Stop chatting! Hurry up and catch up, Marquis Zhaoping and his men are about to leave the city!"

……

Outside the city, Cheng Erping quickly ran from the city gate to where Old Lady Lin and the others were waiting: "Here I come!"

"Ouch! Quick! Stand still, don't make any loud noises, or else you'll embarrass Ah Wan!"

As she spoke, Old Lady Lin quickly and lightly stroked her hair.

"Big sister! Big sister is out! Big sister is the first one!"

Cheng Xiaoyu was dressed up elegantly by Wang. There was excitement and pride in her eyes, but her face remained calm.

Old Lady Lin and others watched without blinking as Cheng Wan drove his horse out of the central gate of Shuoyang City, followed by soldiers in armor, and then the carriage of the noble lord.

The bright and dazzling morning sun shone on Cheng Wan's back and head. In the eyes of Old Lady Lin and others, Cheng Wan seemed to be glowing at this moment.

Dazzling.

At this moment, the officials of Liangzhou who had been waiting outside the city like Old Lady Lin and others knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Farewell, Master!"

When the people outside the city saw the officials kneeling down, they also knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak in a low voice. They waited with the officials for the long line to pass in front of them.

Everyone knelt, and naturally Old Lady Lin and others had to kneel as well.

In the feudal dynasty, the empress, princes, grandsons, princesses... were all kneeling willingly.

It was not until the last carriage carrying the noble lord passed by that the people followed the officials and stood up.

Old Lady Lin was helped up by Cheng Daniu. She took a breath and then exhaled: "Okay, let's get ready. When the team comes out, we'll follow them."

"Old sister, I, I really can't bear to leave you..."

Mrs. Zhang, who came to see her off, held Mrs. Lin's hand, her eyes red and swollen.

Obviously, I cried a lot last night.

Mrs. Song wiped the moisture from her eyes with the back of her hand and forced a smile: "Old sister, when you go to the capital, don't forget us old guys. When Awan comes back for the imperial examination, you must come back with him!"

“How could I forget you?” Old Lady Lin’s eyes also turned red. She held the hands of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song respectively, with great strength and a hoarse voice: “Take care of yourselves. If you need any help, go find Erniu and the others. When I come back, we can chat together again!”

"Eh!"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song nodded heavily and responded in unison.

The three old sisters said goodbye reluctantly, and the others were similar.

Many people came to see me off today.

Cheng Erniu and other members of the Cheng family, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Song, Village Chief Jia, Village Chief Wu, Yanqiu, Ru Yu Niang...

Cheng Erniu held his little daughter in his arms, silently listening to Xiao Lin's repeated instructions to Cheng Hua to be obedient and to tell her aunt in time if there was anything... His eyes unconsciously became red.

He loves his daughters very much, and he really doesn't want to be separated from his eldest daughter for a period of time.

Parents are always worried about their children leaving their side, and they are also extremely reluctant to let their children leave their side.

It’s not just Cheng Erniu and Xiao Lin who have to be separated from their children today.

Finally, different sobbing sounds were heard in this area.

Xu Zhinian wiped Mao Ruochun's tears with a handkerchief and said in a gentle voice, "Mom, I promise that no matter when Ah Wan comes back to take the exam, I will definitely come back in three months at most."

Mao Ruochun's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed.

"Forget it, you should just come back with A-Wan, otherwise it's such a long journey and I'm really worried about you."

Mao Ruochun carefully traced Xu Zhinian's facial features with his eyes, sniffed, and gently instructed: "The capital is under the feet of the emperor, and there are so many dignitaries. You must be careful in what you say and do, so as not to cause trouble for yourself, Ah Wan and your uncle, remember?"

"I've got it." Xu Zhinian nodded seriously.

"Your uncle is the Jingzhao Yin, your father is the Liangzhou Sihu, and Awan is the Marquis of Zhaoping who is deeply favored by the emperor. Although we can't compare with those high-ranking nobles, we are not bad either.

If someone bullies you for no reason, you must tell your uncle and Ah Wan. Don't bear it by yourself. Remember?"

"Remember." Xu Zhinian nodded seriously again.

"Ah Wan is busy with official duties and has to deal with the intrigues in the officialdom. It's very hard. You should accompany her well. If there is anything, you two can discuss it together. You must help each other and support each other..."

Mao Ruochun lowered his head and choked for a while, unable to continue.

In fact, she had already said those words to Xu Zhinian many times.

But when it came to separation, she still felt uneasy.

Xu Zhinian blinked several times quickly, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, shaking Mao Ruochun's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself!"

After saying that, Xu Zhinian turned his head and looked at Xu Zhuocheng, who had been silent since he came over from the group of officials: "Dad, you have to take care of yourself."

"Okay." Xu Zhuocheng nodded with a smile, but the redness in his eyes was unusually obvious.

"Big sister?! Mom, it's big sister!"

Ok?

Old Mrs. Lin and the others no longer cared about saying goodbye, and they all looked in the direction of Cheng Xiaoyu's finger.

It was indeed Cheng Wan.

"Xu~"

The horse stopped and Cheng Wan dismounted.

Old Mrs. Lin rushed over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Weren't you at the front? Why are you back? What happened?"

Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll come back to see you guys. When you catch up with the team, I'll go back to the front."

"Well, what's so good about that? There are so many of us. You can arrange yourself well. Just do your job well and don't make the master unhappy."

There was worry in Mrs. Lin's eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"It's okay. I have consulted with the queen."

Cheng Wan waved his hand and walked to Guihua and the others whose eyes were red and swollen. He said gently, "Don't be afraid. Take care of yourselves and live your life well. If you encounter any troubles, go to my second aunt and my younger aunt. I will come back again."
