"Sir, yes, I just entered Beijing at noon today. There was no fanfare. After entering Beijing, I went to the palace immediately!" Xiao Xuanzi reported respectfully.
Chu Liuchen tugged at the corners of his thin lips and said without raising his head: "They don't want others to know that they followed me, but so what, I just go and wander wherever I go. Very casual, want to find out something!”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at his master's harmless smile and was not sure what he meant.
"It's not interesting. Hasn't King Zhou been looking for the two of them these days? Let King Zhou see the two of them go out without him!"
Chu Liuchen said lazily, and the corners of his raised lips became deeper and deeper together, which made him look a little more evil, no longer the pure and harmless look before.
King Zhou is the emperor's second son Chu Liuzhou, and he is also the legitimate son born to the queen, but he does not have a long character, and his personality has always been at odds with King Yue Chu Liuyue and King Xin Chu Liuxin.
"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Xuanzi understood that the fight for the throne between King Zhou and King Yue was not a secret in the capital. When the two of them were together, they were just maintaining the superficial respect of brothers and sisters.
One of the two brothers occupied the elder position, and the other occupied the direct position. It was actually very difficult to establish the position. Besides, there was Chu Liuchen who was deposed as the crown prince before.
The reason why he was deposed at that time was just because he was young and did not make any mistakes. There were also some secret rumors that the emperor had promised the late emperor that he would pass the throne to his nephew, Chu Liuchen. .
Of course, these are just rumors, and no one can provide any solid evidence so far.
But even so, there are still many people who are waiting and watching in private. After all, the late emperor is the immediate emperor. When he opened up new territories, he was very heroic. Even after so many years, there are still some veterans in the court who secretly support the late emperor. And that of the late emperor’s son, King Sichen.
"General Ningyuan's Mansion hasn't left yet?" Chu Liuchen finished reading one book and picked up the other. However, when he picked it up, his slender hand paused and he raised his head and asked gently.
"This servant really doesn't know!" Xiao Xuanzi didn't think it was a big deal whether General Ningyuan moved or not.
"Stupid!" The corners of Chu Liuchen's raised mouth dropped, his face darkened, and he said coldly. He lowered his head slightly to look at the case file in his hand. His hanging hair made his face look paler, and the corners of his lips were thin. He pursed his lips tightly, his blood was very pale, he thought for a while, and seemed to want to say something. He raised his long eyelashes, and looked at the person sideways with his dark pupils, making people feel like a ghost.
He is not at all the handsome young man who looked calm just now.
"Go find out when it will arrive!"
"Yes, I obey the order!" Xiao Xuanzi was shocked when he saw it. He lowered his head and said respectfully. He secretly wondered how he had offended this master. His face didn't look like a good one. Could it be that his family The master and the young lady have been together for a while, and have they really developed a friendly feeling like a childish playmate
In all these years, it seems that I have never seen the childish side of my little master.
Ever since Xiao Xuanzi followed Chu Liuchen, this man has always been very steady towards others. No matter when he pursed his lips and got angry, or when he was being evil and enchanting, he never had a childish side.
Is it possible that the man from General Ningyuan's mansion is acting like a playmate now
Xiao Xuanzi said he didn't understand because he had no playmates.
"Go down, don't hinder me!" Seeing Xiao Xuanzi's dazed look, Chu Liuchen lowered his eyes again and said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I will go check it out right away. I can play with Miss Qin Er again then." Xiao Xuanzi woke up with a start and said hurriedly. After finishing speaking, he withdrew and thought for a while at the door and couldn't help but smile. stand up.
For so many years, my grandfather didn't even have a good playmate. He was a delicate-looking porcelain doll when he was a child. Now that he has grown up to be a teenager, he is also a more exquisite porcelain doll.
Porcelain dolls are beautiful, but they are lifeless after all!
Qin Wanru didn't know that she was already in people's minds before she entered Beijing. The old lady's carriage was very big and spacious. She and the old lady were half-lying, and there was still a lot left. It was already late autumn, and the weather was getting colder and colder. down.
The carriage was covered with thick cushions, which made it warm and soft.
Qin Wanru spent every day chatting and laughing with the old lady, and would take a nap after lunch. Her life was quite comfortable.
It's a long way from Jiangzhou to the capital, and with such a large team of carriages and old people, it can't go very fast! Fortunately, the old lady was taken care of by Qin Wanru along the way, and her health was not in any condition, and she seemed to be getting better and better, which made Qin Huaiyong feel relieved.
After getting the old lady's consent, he accelerated the carriage.
Qi Baiyu rode with Qin Huaiyong, and from time to time he would come with Qin Huaiyong to greet the old lady. Compared with other people in the Qi Mansion, the old lady had a good impression of Qi Baiyu and felt that he was the most promising son of the Qi Prefect. Even if he is not the legitimate son, he is so understanding of etiquette and knows how to do things, and his future will be limitless.
The carriage traveled all the way and finally arrived in the capital. As soon as they entered the city, Qin Huaiyong went to the official department to return to his post, and the old lady took them to his house in the capital.
The Qin Mansion had a house in the capital. At that time, Qin Huaiyong's father was also an official in the capital, so he entered into an engagement with the Yong-Kangbo Mansion. However, he was later demoted after being implicated in an incident. Fortunately, Qin Huaiyong was still able to live up to his expectations. Returning to the capital again is a great blessing.
When the Qin Mansion's carriage convoy went to Beijing, Qin Huaiyong had already sent a steward with a few capable people to quickly go to Beijing to clean up the old house.
As soon as the old lady's carriage arrived, the steward led people to the door and welcomed everyone in.
Qin Wanru got off the carriage, secretly took Yujie out, and asked her to find a place with few people to rent a house outside. Then he supported the old lady and was about to walk in. Suddenly she saw Qi Baiyu and Qi Rongzhi also coming from the carriage. When he got off the carriage, he was slightly startled.
Why are the two of them staying here if they don't go back to their own homes
"Old madam, I'm sorry to trouble you, sister!" Qi Baiyu came over, bowed his hands to the old madam, and said.
The old lady stopped and turned her gaze from Qi Baiyu to Qi Rongzhi. Her eyes were dark: "It's okay. We are two families. Your father has been to Beijing, your eldest brother is busy with scientific examinations, and you are young. You are so young, so it’s only right for your sister to live in my house! It’s okay!”
"Then thank you, old lady!" Qi Baiyu saluted sincerely again, then raised his head and said, "Old lady, then Bai Yu will go back to his house first, and he will visit with his brother tomorrow to say thank you!"
"You don't have to be so polite. You should go back home first. You've been really tired all the way!" the old lady said gently.
Qi Baiyu bowed to Shui Ruolan and Di Shi again before turning around and leaving.
Qin Wanru blinked and looked at Qi Rongzhi, who looked extremely supple with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered. So, did you mean that Qi Rongzhi was going to be raised in her own house
This should be the result of the negotiation between my father and Magistrate Qi, and it is also the compensation action taken by the General's Mansion after it owes Magistrate Qi's Mansion.
In her previous life, there was no such thing, so she didn't think about it for a while.
If you think about it carefully, Qi Zhifu is definitely not someone who can suffer losses. The General's Mansion has been in debt again and again, so something has to be paid. Qi Rongzhi's package was thrown into the Qin Mansion.
And you still have to accept it!
There was a hint of coldness in the water eyes, and he looked at the surprised and angry Di Shi, and the corners of his pink lips curled up slightly. This was actually a good idea!
Mrs. Di was surprised and angry, not only because Qi Rongzhi moved into the Qin Mansion, which made her unhappy, but also because as the wife of the Qin Mansion, she didn't know about it.
"Mother, this matter..." Di's face darkened, she glanced at Qi Rongzhi coldly, stepped forward and stopped the old lady, "What's going on?"
The old lady stood still and looked at Di Shi coldly: "That's what you saw!"
"Mother, why didn't I know?" Mrs. Di's face was ugly. She originally wanted to take back the housekeeper's rights after entering the capital, but she suffered such a big defeat on her first day in the capital, which made her very upset.
"Isn't this the package you brought? The government helped you carry it, what else do you want?" The old lady became more and more dissatisfied with Di. She snorted coldly and said politely, "If it weren't for you Along with Yuru, there is no way Magistrate Qi will let Miss Qi live in our house."
These words were indeed rude. They not only slapped Di in the face, but also slapped Qi Rongzhi in the face.
Qin Wanru glanced at Qi Ronzhi calmly and found that Miss Qi, who had a bad temper and was arrogant in Jiangzhou, seemed not to have heard the old lady's words. She still lowered her head and was very submissive.
It's like a different person!
"Mother, I..." Di's face turned blue and white for a while, and she could only avoid it. She suddenly remembered the meaning of the old lady's words.
"Go in, we're all tired. Is everything arranged in Ruolan's yard?" The old lady didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and continued walking inside.
"Mother, everything has been arranged." Shui Ruolan said softly.
"We're all tired. Let's go back to our own courtyards first. There's no need to pay too much attention. We'll go out for a reunion dinner in the evening!" The old lady nodded and said a little tiredly.
Along the way, although the old lady's body was still able to survive, she was inevitably tired. This would be the same as everyone thought. She just wanted to have a good rest and had no energy to do anything else.
The house is considered large in Beijing, with many courtyards. The old lady lives in Xinning Courtyard, Di lives in Yulan Pavilion, Shui Ruolan lives in Liufeng Courtyard, Qin Yuru lives in Yalanxuan, and Qin Wanru lives in Zhifangxuan. , Qi Rongzhi moved into the guest house.
At this moment, everyone really didn't have anything to talk about. After everyone had some food, they all went to bed. When it was night, everyone in the house woke up, freshened up, and prepared for a reunion dinner.
Qin Wanru got up quite early and asked Yujie to go to the outer courtyard to take away the coachman who had plotted against him at Jingxin Temple and lock him up in a rented house. Now that the house was in chaos, no one would notice it.
This was a chess piece she deliberately kept. The reason why she kept this carriage driver was because he was related to Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi. This was a hidden chess move...
When they arrived at the flower hall, before the old lady came, she heard a sweet laugh from a distance, as clear and crisp as a silver bell, but it was so deliberate that she couldn't help but slow down.
Are there any outsiders here? When he could clearly see the man standing between the two women in the flower hall, his eyebrows were filled with a gloomy look...
