Chapter 140 Entering Beijing

When Chen Xiuyan was removing the stitches, Pei Liu was present throughout the process. Seeing that Chen Xiuyan was quick with her hands and feet, in just over thirty breaths of time, all the stitches on the wound were removed, leaving only obvious scars.

"It looks ferocious now, but it will fade a lot in a few days." Chen Xiuyan said this to Pei Liu, because she saw the worry and distress in his eyes.

"I'm fine." The third prince looked at Pei Liu tenderly and said, "You are still so impulsive. How can you come from the capital during the Chinese New Year?"

"You didn't go back to celebrate the New Year either." Pei Liu said, "You said you were going to celebrate the New Year, so why did you take on such a dangerous mission?"

"I made an oversight this time, and I won't let you worry in the future."

Chen Xiuyan felt that she was like a light bulb, the kind with a wattage that exploded off the meter. She could only retreat silently and stand with Pang Yi, not squinting.

After the two of them finished talking, Pei Liu paid attention to Chen Xiuyan and said, "Let's go back after dinner today. I heard that you are going to the capital in a few days."

"It seems that your husband is very lucky, and you are actually accepted by Tao Taifu." Pei Liu congratulated, "He is a weirdo, and he doesn't follow common sense. There are many disciples in the capital who want to be his apprentice, but they are all turned away by him.

Yes, even the princes like to teach or not, it all depends on their mood."

Chen Xiuyan was so envious in her heart. As expected, what she liked most was Taifu Tao's wantonness and ability to do whatever he wanted, but she didn't deserve it.

"Having Mr. Tao in the capital this time will save us a lot of trouble." Chen Xiuyan was still very satisfied with being able to take advantage of Mr. Tao's influence.

"I am going back to Beijing this time, and I will invite you two to my home." Pei Liu invited with a smile.

Chen Xiuyan responded with a smile, but didn't take it seriously. Unless Pei Liu posted a message, there was no way she would come to her door.

"Xiaoyanyan is here." Mr. Tao entered the house with a smile and saw Chen Xiuyan for the first time. "I can finally go back today. It is Xiaoyanyan's cooking skills that I like the most."

"Grandma Su is not here." Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised.

"That Su ah always makes herbal meals. I don't want to eat them anymore, but her pastries are pretty good." Tao said honestly, "I wanted to eat pots at night, and I ate three chopsticks on New Year's Eve."

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Pei Liu invited me to have dinner in the evening and then go back."

"Don't eat, don't eat." Mr. Tao objected immediately, "You can eat by yourself, we will go back later."

Pei Liu was a little surprised by the way Tao Lao and Chen Xiuyan talked about each other. Of course, she didn't keep anyone else.

After Chen Xiuyan gave the medicine a seal, explained how to take it, received another consultation fee, and then happily followed Mr. Tao and Granny Su on the carriage home.

"Finally we can go back." Mr. Tao groaned as he lay paralyzed in the carriage, "That's so uncomfortable. As expected, I am so reserved."

Granny Su turned her head and glanced at Mr. Tao. She was still cautious. Anyone could do it, but he couldn't. She was so wanton wherever she went, and there was no one who could enjoy it better than him.

Chen Xiuyan found it a bit funny, so she opened the small box without anyone noticing, and there was another stack of banknotes. She felt really happy, and she counted a thousand taels.

"This money is so mysterious." Mr. Tao complained when he saw Chen Xiuyan counting the banknotes.

"Who can't live with money?" Chen Xiuyan clicked her tongue, "The more business like this the better in the future. As expected, the princes and grandsons are rich."

Granny Su looked at Chen Xiuyan with some surprise, while Mr. Tao looked very calm. He was indeed a smart man.

"When I get to the capital, how about I go to the clinic and come back with more money in my pocket?" Chen Xiuyan thought to herself.

"So short of money?" Mr. Tao asked casually.

"There is no shortage, but there is no such thing as too little money." Chen Xiuyan replied matter-of-factly.

"That's the same reason." Mr. Tao nodded in approval.

Granny Su didn't say much. She just asked Chen Xiuyan before getting off the car, "Are you leaving on the tenth day of the lunar month?"

Chen Xiuyan nodded, and Granny Su got out of the car and went back.

It was not until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year that Granny Su came over with a large bag of things. Only then did Chen Xiuyan realize that Granny Su had helped make the clothes, shoes, etc.

"When we arrived in the capital, Luo Jieyuan was Mr. Tao's apprentice and rarely had to socialize. So did you. I made some clothes for you so that you can wear them appropriately when you go out to visit." Chen Xiuyan saw that Granny Su had become thinner than the previous few days.

"Grandma Su, you won't stay up late these days making clothes." Chen Xiuyan felt a little guilty.

"I didn't stay up late." Granny Su said with a smile, "I'm pressed for time this time, so I'll make it for you next time."

Granny Su is extremely grateful to Chen Xiuyan. Without her, I don’t know if the third prince would have been able to survive. Now the third prince is fine, and he will come to see his wife in two days. There is nothing more joyful than this in these years.

Things have happened, and these were all brought by Chen Xiuyan.

"Thank you, Granny Su." Chen Xiuyan was a little touched. She collected her things and sent Granny Su home. She also didn't forget to say hello to Aunt Yuan and the others. After all, she was leaving for the capital tomorrow and it would take two or three months to come back.

Afterwards, Chen Xiuyan left some emergency medicine for Mrs. Yuan and the others.

She once had the experience of traveling far away. This time Luo Wense was a little calmer than before. Chen Xiuyan accepted it if it was given to her for household use. She didn’t need anything anymore. Now that Wang Zhai is close to the Luo family, she will definitely help people as long as they go there.

, Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan only planned to take Qian Dongliang with them on this trip. It is always more reassuring to have more people at home.

The carriage to the capital this time was still prepared by Wang Zhai, but compared to the provincial examination to Fucheng, the scale this time was doubled. Firstly, it is more reassuring to bring more with you for a long journey. Secondly, Tao Tao is here.

The third prince arranged some people to protect him. If there are more people, there will be more carriages.

Ning Youjin also went with him this time. Zheng Daru wanted to get close to Tao Taifu and had already thought of going to the capital together. When Manager Ning learned that Tao Taifu was there, he supported it even more, so the scale was even bigger.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, with light snow falling in the sky, fifteen carriages and ten escorts on horseback set off for the capital.

This time we took the official road and stayed at the inn, which was faster than during the provincial examination. It was freezing cold and no one had the idea of ​​going out, so apart from eating and sleeping, we rode fast all the way.

After traveling for fourteen days, we finally saw the gate of the capital.

There is more than one gate in the capital, there are seven square gates, and these seven gates are only the gates of the outer city. To enter the outer city, you need to pass through the gate to enter the inner city. There are nine gates in the inner city, and there is an imperial city in the inner city.

, the four gates of the imperial city. Of course, not everyone can enter the four gates of the imperial city. There is also a palace city inside the imperial city, where the emperor and his family live.

The capital city is the outer city surrounding the inner city, the inner city surrounding the imperial city, the imperial city surrounding the palace city, and the emperor's palace is in the center of the city.

The capital city is prosperous, but the etiquette and rules are stricter, and the inspection at the city gate is also very strict.
