Perhaps they were unwilling to give up, so the old woman and the woman were quiet for a while. But now that the people who came to see them off had left, they became a little unrestrained again, and wanted to jump around like grasshoppers in autumn, but this time they didn't come forward. They would say bad things about their family to anyone they caught, but not many people paid attention to them.
Jing Qiurong pushed Pu Ge'er forward again: "Say goodbye to grandpa and grandma."
In Pu Ge'er's mind, his grandfather is a great hero who stands tall and upright, and even if he is lying down now, it does not affect his glorious image.
Every time he went back, his grandfather would hold him in high esteem, give him a wooden sword he had carved himself, and personally teach him and his cousins martial arts: "Grandpa loves you, Pu Ge'er blows, the dog emperor is bad."
Pu Ge'er has a soft, sweet voice and is round and cute. Last night, he learned from his sister that his grandparents had suffered. Even though his sister and mother told him not to cry in front of his grandparents, he still shed tears of pain when he saw his grandfather's miserable state. He even put his head down to touch his grandfather, but he didn't cry loudly.
"Grandpa, don't be in pain. You'll be fine tomorrow." Jing Yongcheng touched Pu Ge'er's small bun with a distressed look. Pu Ge'er had actually said quite a few words in his ear just now. Although they were all irrelevant childish talk, he heard them all. It was just that he felt too tired at the time and only opened his eyes occasionally without responding to him: "Pu Ge'er, listen to your mother and sister."
"Brother Pu, be obedient and wait for your sister to come back. Wait for your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins to come back."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will teach you how to ride when he comes back."
"Okay!"
His sister had promised him that she would bring everyone from his maternal grandparents back to the capital. He believed his sister, so he would not make a fuss about going with them. She directly gave him a task. He also had the task of protecting his mother in the capital, so he could not follow.
Under normal circumstances, Pu Ge'er's childish words would have attracted a lot of love and laughter. Now, no one thought carefully about his words, nor did they realize that Xi Jie'er would go with him.
Seeing that Pu Ge'er was so sensible, they couldn't bear to see him cry, so they comforted them and let Pu Ge'er cuddle with them. Pu Ge'er's little face came over to them, and some even picked him up and rocked him around. They all had smiling faces, and didn't seem to feel any pain of separation.
Half an hour passed quickly without me noticing. In the past, the time people spent in exile saying goodbye to their families was also half an hour.
"Let's go, let's go. All outsiders, please move away and start counting the number of people."
The officers began to count the prisoners, which meant that they would be leaving soon and had already begun to expel the relatives who came to see them off.
Over there, Jing Changning showed the children's signatures to the tribesmen. Most of them should be able to recognize their own children's handwriting. Sure enough, not long after, everyone calmed down and returned to the team obediently.
Some people may have felt guilty for their recent behavior, thinking that they had misunderstood the General's Mansion, and also felt a little grateful. A woman had already knelt down with her child towards them, but she did not dare to move forward because she was afraid of incurring the anger of the officers.
They came later and sat in the front of the pavilion. The officials went to the back and went to the two tribesmen who had arrived earlier than them. They had stayed there long enough.
From a distance, they saw several women kneeling down and kowtowing towards them, probably saying words of gratitude. Now there was no time to care about what they said. What was the point of just saying it? Their actions had already chilled them to the bone.
Even if they did not speak out, they just stood by and watched when faced with the embarrassment and abuse from their fellow tribesmen, without even a word of persuasion, just like the heartless old patriarch.
Fortunately, not everyone is heartless. At least they will feel grateful to them for taking care of the children.
"Uncle Three! This is for you!" Jing Chunxi finally seized the opportunity when Uncle Three was free and hurriedly stuffed a few small purses into his hands.
Jing Changning didn't refuse, knowing that his elder sister would definitely bring silver bills. He took them and squeezed them. One purse was very light, probably containing silver bills, while the other two were slightly heavier. When he fumbled with them for a while, they made a metallic sound, indicating that they contained small change.
Chu Chunxi pointed to a cart towed behind their carriage and told his uncle, "The journey is long, and grandpa can't carry it all the time."
Then he pointed at Tang Shuang and a lame servant who were already standing next to the cart and said, "Sister Xi and the other two will go into exile with your uncle."
"Nonsense, they can go, but you can't." Jing Changning's voice was not loud, but a little annoyed, and there was no room for negotiation in his response.
As he said this, he wanted to walk towards the leading officer. Before entering the prison last night, he also wanted to bring two loyal servants from home to take care of his parents, but he was not allowed.
It's different here. As long as they have some silver and bribe them, they won't be so strict. After all, if they have to carry it like this all the time, it will definitely affect the speed of the entire team. If the group cannot arrive in Lingnan on time, the officials will also be punished.
He opened the purse containing the banknotes and took a quick look at it, thinking that the banknotes in the bag should be enough.
"We discussed it with Uncle Zhou and the housekeeper last night. Sister Xi is going anyway." Jing Chunxi pouted and stamped her feet in anger!
Since she wasn't sitting far away, Jing Qiurong had already seen the two of them huddled together. From the direction of their fingers, she knew they were discussing something, and they were arguing without saying a word. Her third brother also looked at her angrily. The only thing he could be upset about was that his daughter was going into exile with him.
Jing Qiurong nodded at him quickly, but fearing he wouldn't believe her, she quickly stood up and walked over, whispering, "Sister Xi can help along the way. Just trust her and let her go."
Then he patted his daughter's bulging waist next to him. Jing Chunxi cooperated by straightening his back, and confidently and proudly patted his purse, saying: "Uncle, there is still money left after spending it, and plenty of food. Mother has prepared it for us." The little girl looked playful, but Jing Changning didn't find it cute: an annoying girl.
