Chapter 167 Leaving without saying goodbye

Chapter 167 Leaving without saying goodbye

When Teng Yu used his Qinggong skills to return to Fan Mansion, Chi Ying suddenly appeared in the room.

He said anxiously, "Master, there is a letter from the capital that the troops stationed at the border of Canglang Country have been causing troubles and harassing the people on our border recently, burning, killing, and looting. In order to protect the people, our garrison troops clashed with them, and many soldiers died. His Majesty is anxious to summon you to the palace to discuss the matter."

Originally, Teng Yu planned to have lunch with Mr. Fan and his junior fellow apprentice tomorrow, say goodbye to them and then return to Beijing, but now he had to leave early.

"Go prepare two horses, and we will set off to return to the capital overnight."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Chi Ying was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait." Rong Yu suddenly called out to Chi Ying.

"Master, do you have any other instructions?" Chi Ying looked puzzled.

"Have you finished making the bow and arrow I asked you to make?"

"My Lord, it has been prepared overnight."

"Go get it."

"Yes."

Rong Yu handed the bow and arrow to Mr. Fan, "Sir, His Majesty has urgently summoned me, and I need to rush back to the capital overnight. This bow and arrow is a gift from Zi Yu to Junior Brother Shan Bo, so please pass it on to me, sir."

"Okay, I will personally pass it on to Shanbo. Do you have anything else to say to him?"

"Let him practice horse riding and archery diligently. If he doesn't learn well, don't tell anyone that he learned it from me. I can't afford to lose face."

"Yes, I will definitely pass on your message, my lord. Please be careful on your journey."

In the dark night, the two men jumped onto the horses' backs and whipped the horses' buttocks loudly. The horses raised their heads, let out a high-pitched neigh, then raised their hooves and galloped forward at a high speed, stirring up a cloud of dust behind them.

Accompanied by the sound of "da da da" horse hooves, the two men each rode a horse and galloped towards the capital.

The next day, at Fan Mansion.

Qianhuan was shocked. "What? Senior Brother went back to the North? Sir, are you kidding me? Wasn't Senior Brother still here last night?"

"Shan Bo, I'm not kidding, your senior brother is really gone."

"Brother, you are too disloyal. You didn't even tell me before you left."

Although her senior brother had always been cold before, she clearly felt that he had become closer and closer these days. Last night, when he sent her home, he was considerate enough to warm her hands.

After so much difficulty getting along well with her senior brother, she didn't expect that he would just leave without saying a word. At this moment, Qianhuan felt completely lost.

"Yes, Rong Yu had an emergency at home, so he returned to Beijing overnight."

"Do you have my senior brother's address in Beijing? I would like to write to him later." For some reason, Qianhuan didn't want to lose contact with her senior brother at all.

"This... Rong Yu has no fixed place to live, and I don't have his fixed address either."

Mr. Fan felt a little ashamed. He couldn't reveal the residence of the God of War General to Shanbo.

Qianhuan was depressed. "Oh, forget it. It seems that it will be difficult for me to see my brother again in the future."

You have to know that in ancient times when communications were not well developed, two people from different places who did not know each other's addresses were like losing contact.

Qianhuan suddenly felt a little empty in her heart, as if someone very familiar had suddenly disappeared from her life.

Mr. Fan asked Changbo to take out the bow and arrow that Rongyu left behind from the study. He handed it to Qianhuan and said, "Shanbo, this is a gift from Rongyu to you."

Qianhuan didn't expect that her senior brother had left a gift for her. Her originally dim eyes suddenly lit up at this moment. She happily took the bow and arrow handed to her by Mr. Fan.

The shape and design of this bow are ingenious at first glance. The bow body is made of fine wood, forming a graceful arc. The surface is as smooth as jade, exuding a faint luster, and the bowstring is made of tough cow tendons and tightly buckled on the arrow shaft.

Qianhuan took the exquisite and small bow and arrow in her hand and played with it, unable to let it go.

She immediately looked up and asked, "Sir, did my senior brother leave any words for me when he left?"

"He said he hopes you will practice riding and archery diligently. If you don't learn well, don't tell outsiders that he taught you. He can't afford to lose this person."

Qianhuan held the bow and arrow, and swore secretly in her heart: she must practice well in the future, and must learn riding and archery well, and not bring shame to her senior brother. She believed that one day she would see her senior brother again.

In the following days, Wenjie continued to study with Mr. Fan every day, while Qianhuan practiced riding and archery on her own every day.

After practicing archery for an hour in the yard, she would go to the stable to learn horse riding for an hour, and then return to the teahouse in the afternoon to train the servants.

Although she seemed a little lonely without the company of her senior brother, fortunately she focused her mind on making money and improving herself, and slowly, she came out of the feeling of loss caused by her senior brother's departure.

These days, she would give Yinhua ten or twenty taels of silver from time to time and let her use it to buy things on the street. In fact, she was deliberately testing Yinhua.

Through observation, Qianhuan found that Yinhua was a very honest person and had a quick mind, so she officially placed him by her side to serve her.

It was only after Yinhua became Qianhuan's personal maid that she realized that her boss was actually a woman.

The Half Day Qing Huan Garden has been almost decorated and will be open for business soon.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, Mr. Fan gave both of them a holiday. "Wenjie, you can go home and review your lessons during these days before the New Year. You don't need to come to study here anymore. You can come back after the Lantern Festival. Remember, don't neglect your studies when you go home."

"Yes, Wenjie will follow your instructions."

It just so happened that the houses and workshops in the village had been built, so Liang Laoer and Liu were waiting for Qianhuan to return home and move into the new house.

Ji Feng's mother had almost recovered after taking the medicine. Qianhuan had asked Ji Feng to drive a carriage to pick up Aunt Ji and bring her to the teahouse to help manage the servants.

On this day, Qianhuan brought the siblings Yinhua and Yinhe, as well as Manager Ji, and Wenjie brought Tu Dou, and the group got on a carriage and returned to Yunfeng Village together.

This time Qianhuan did not hide anything and drove the carriage into the village openly from the village entrance.

The people in the village found the carriage very curious and kept looking around.

The children were running behind the carriage all the way. After entering the village, the monsoon slowed down the speed of the carriage, so the children were able to keep up with the speed of the carriage.

Qianhuan first asked Ji Feng to drive the carriage to her aunt's house.

When they arrived at the gate of the yard, Qianhuan asked everyone else to wait in the carriage while she and Wenjie got off.

When the people got off the carriage, the children realized that the people in the carriage were Qianhuan and Wenjie.

One child couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qianhua, did you buy this carriage yourself?"

Qianhuan replied with a smile: "Yes."

The children all looked incredulous and started shouting, "Oh my God, not only did Liang Laoer build a big brick house, but he even bought a horse carriage."

Chen originally lived next to the old house, and Mrs. Liang and her family had already heard the noise outside in the yard.

Zhu couldn't help but open the gate and look, she saw a brand new carriage parked in front of Chen's house, and Old Mrs. Liang couldn't help but stick her head out to take a look.

The group of children were still shouting at this time: "Liang Laoer's family bought a new carriage. His family has made a fortune."

At this moment, Old Mrs. Liang was really regretting her decision. She really hated herself. Why did she break off the engagement with the Second Son just for a prescription and twenty taels of silver?

If the relationship had not been severed, then now, all these things would be theirs, and the money earned by the second brother and Qianhuan would be handed over to her to manage. She, the old man, and the eldest brother's family would all be able to live in a blue brick and tile house and travel in a horse-drawn carriage.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. Even if Mrs. Liang regrets it now, she can't get these things.

For the first time, Old Man Liang doubted whether he had done something wrong. His proud grandson had now become a gambler. Not only had he emptied their family fortune, but now he couldn't even go to school.

Ever since Wen Zhi squandered all the family's money on gambling, the family has lived a hard life, eating only coarse food for every meal.

Zhaodi is pregnant now, and knowing that she has such an incompetent brother-in-law, she is so angry that she instigates Wen Yong to split the family property. Their Liang family's old house is now in a real mess.

Since the second brother's family separated, they have been prosperous, and now even Wenjie has benefited from their family and can go to school.

Maybe he really did something wrong at the beginning, Old Man Liang sighed, feeling endless regret in his heart.
