Chapter 116 Returning to Beijing
Chapter 116 Return to Beijing (third update)
Lin Xi: "Does the little lady's family want the little lady to go back to Beijing?"
Nalanjing nodded.
Lin Xi said inadvertently: "I have some knowledge about going to Beijing. I heard that the Duke of Huguo offended people a few months ago and life was not easy. Maybe it was because of this matter that Lord Rong."
Rong Xuan no longer has an official position, but Lin Xi has always insisted on calling him Lord Rong.
Nalan Jing raised his eyebrows: "My husband is powerless now, can he help the Duke of Guardian Mansion?"
Seeing that she was unaware of the situation, Lin Xi couldn't help but mention: "Lord Rong holds many people in his hand... Cough cough, it is not difficult to undo the Duke of the Guru Mansion."
Nalan Jing vaguely understood that the third prince was chased because of the account book in his hand. At that time, he was ordered to investigate the case of the silt salt transport in Jiangnan. There were many officials involved, so he was chased several times. After his death, the account book disappeared, and everyone's eyes were on Rong Xuan.
At that time, Rong Xuan was unconscious because of his poison, but no one dared to touch him too much. After all, no one knew whether Emperor Tianshun had put bait on Rong Xuan. If he was caught and involved in the account book case, it would be the death penalty of raiding the family and extermination. The left and right Rong Xuan was already a living dead, and there was no need for them to take risks.
But who knew that Rong Xuan would survive after he arrived in Youzhou. The news reached Shangjing. Everyone was incredible, but they didn't dare to take action. Who knew who Rong Xuan was? He was a character who was even more difficult than Emperor Tianshun. They were desperate for their lives and became this pathfinder. So for more than a year, although Shangjing people often invited him to Zhangmu Village, no one dared to take action.
These are all things that Rong Xuan and her have revealed over the past year
More specific things can't be explained clearly for a while.
Unexpectedly, the old man from the Duke of the People's Republic of China beat him like this, and wanted Rong Xuan to come forward to settle the crisis for them.
If the people from the Duke of Guru's Mansion knew that Emperor Tianshun had sent someone to see Rong Xuan first and gave them a way back to Shangjing, I wonder if they would do this again.
After all, many people will really die in that account book.
Is the Li family fearless?
After Lin Xi left, Watson Yan brought hot water to her and asked her to wash.
Nalanjing pulled her to sit beside her, and the two of them chatted together.
Watson Yan has a heartwarming atmosphere, and Nalan Jing likes to lean on her shoulders and listen to her nagging.
Early in the morning, Dahu was about to go to Fucheng to transport the pills needed by Shoushengtang Pharmacy. Nalan Jing asked him to bring a letter to Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan had his own opinions on returning to Beijing, and Nalan Jing just wanted to ask him about his thoughts on this matter.
The next day, Rong Xuan came back. Wang Zhaoyi could handle the rest of the case in Fucheng alone. The evidence of Jishitang's crimes over the years has been collected, so it is almost impossible to close the Internet.
When Li Jiaheng and the third wife, the fourth wife, and the butler of the Duke of the Guardian Mansion came to the door again, Nalan Jing was cooking. Rong Xuan had just returned from the mountain and just nodded when he saw them.
Watson Yan explained on the side: "After Xuan'er was poisoned, she suffered from oral disease, so you should take it more."
Li Jiaheng had already sent someone to the village to inquire about Rong Xuan's situation. He knew that he was mute and nodded in surprise.
After the group sat down, Rong Xuan quickly changed his clothes and gave each of them a cup of tea, with a calm expression.
Li Jiaheng and his friends all showed a look of pity on their faces.
It is a good thing that the lady of the Duke of the Kingdom of Guardian can marry such an outstanding man, but unfortunately...
Nalanjing stewed the steamed ribs in the pot before he arrived at the main hall.
She sat next to Rong Xuan with a calm expression.
Rong Xuan naturally brought her a cup of tea, and Nalan Jing told him not to be busy, so he naturally took it over.
The others immediately understood that Nalanjing's status in this family is not low.
Thinking of this possibility, a happy smile appeared on their faces.
Li Jiaheng said that the old man was seriously ill and wanted Nalan Jing to go back to Beijing, which was probably the last time.
Rong Xuan and Nalan Kyoto knew that no matter how close or alienated the Duke of the Guguo Mansion and Nalan Kyoto were, they were her parents' home after all, and she could not refute the old man's last wishes during his lifetime.
Rong Xuan still agreed to Li Jiaheng's request and would leave to return to Beijing soon, but they still have something to do, so they may not go back with them.
When Li Jiaheng heard this, he frowned and said, "The old man is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he won't have much time..."
Rong Xuan couldn't speak, but Nalan Jing replied: "There is another third uncle at home doing business outside. We must send him a message. Everything is safe before leaving. You can go back to Shangjing first, and we will arrive later."
Li Jiaheng was dissatisfied. Seeing that they were determined, it was difficult to force them too much. He just asked them to leave within ten days and they were waiting in Beijing.
Nalanjing nodded and agreed, and sent them all the way, with a lukewarm attitude.
When Li Jiaheng returned to the carriage, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and he left Zhangmu Village all the way. The third wife came forward and said, "Master, do you think the eldest girl blame our Li family?"
Li Jiaheng thought of Nalan Jing's face, calm as if he was an outsider, and he couldn't see through it: "So what if she is resentful? After all, we are her relatives. Moreover, marrying Rong Xuan may not be her blessing. Fortunately, my father insisted on it, otherwise it would be her turn to have this blessing?"
In their opinion, Nalan Jing's blessing is not to marry Rong Xuan, and the couple is harmonious, but to be able to help the family, which is also a thin face given to her by the family.
If she was not married to Rong Xuan, she might be rare.
Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan are preparing to return to Beijing. There are still many things to deal with in Youzhou. There are Wu's iron shops with Wu Dongjia, Shoushengtang has Zhou Erlang and Dahu Ge, and Wang Zhaoyi and Zhou Gu who are taking care of the business in the government. You can also return to Beijing with confidence.
The Rong family's business has been around for nearly a year, and the shopkeepers he selected are quite reliable, and there will be no other problems for the moment.
Rong Yu has passed the exam for scholars and has been in the exam for more than two years. After passing the exam, he will have to take the exam for tribute and will change colleges next year. In addition to the colleges in Fucheng, there is also the Imperial College in Shangjing.
After Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan discussed, they decided that the family would go back to Shangjing first. Rong Qian would not be able to come back in a while. She asked Landlord Liu to send a message to him and told them about returning to Shangjing. If she came back early or lived in Shangjing for a long time, she would also send a letter to Landlord Liu.
After everything was ready, Nalan Jing went to find Lin Xi again and told their family about going back to Beijing, hoping that Lin Xi and the eldest princess would go back to Qingyu Temple first.
But he didn't expect that Lin Xi was packing up his things. When he saw her, he spoke with a relaxed expression: "Mrs. and I are both from Beijing. I heard that you are going back. My wife and I want to go back and have a look."
Nalanjing: "..." Not surprising at all.
Chapter completed!
