Chapter 239 Arriving in Beijing
When the rain stopped, Chu Wenqian wanted to take a look at the surroundings, so Chen Xiuyan went with him. Of course, this was an external excuse, but in fact, he was inspecting the shops and terrain, and renting an empty farmhouse in the suburbs.
Qian Dongliang took the order and took people around to buy food. Of course, he would go to places that had not suffered floods, but he could also buy some nearby.
The price of food has increased, but as long as the price is in place, food is still easy to buy. Qian Dongliang was lucky enough to meet a bodyguard agency selling food on the way. They were working as escorts and doing small business at the same time. Qian Dongliang came back a day later and brought back some food.
Twenty carts of grain, each cart containing twenty dan, totaling 400 dan.
When food came into the house, Chen Xiuyan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and added a few sacks. After that, more food came in one after another. The exact amount of food was counted at the beginning and came again. Chu Wenqian said that he would calculate it when it was about to be delivered. Chen Xiuyan said
Increased the amount.
After Qian Dongliang came back, Chu Wenqian asked Fuxing to be responsible for food matters. He is the emperor's man, and he is responsible for delivering food. The emperor will not doubt it. At this time, the more food, the better, no one will doubt it.
Why is there so much food? I am just happy that there is so much food.
Chu Wenqian and his party will go ahead and let Fuxing return to the capital to report the situation to him, and then go to the capital on August 20th.
There was a delay on the road, so the subsequent journey was accelerated. I spent almost the whole day on the road in the next few days, and finally arrived at the gate of the capital in the evening of August 30th.
Furong and many of his servants came to the capital after receiving the imperial edict. They repaired and tidied up the Jin Prince's Palace in the capital. They worked hard for more than a month and finally completed it. He kept sending people at the gate of the city in anticipation of the days.
Welcoming people, I finally received them on my thirtieth day.
After a long journey, Chu Wenqian and his party had no other thoughts after arriving at Prince Jin's Mansion, they just wanted to rest and sleep.
However, this peaceful sleep is not so easy to sleep.
After all, there were many people waiting for them to enter the capital, and the one in the palace couldn't sit still. The emperor was anxious to see Concubine Yuan; Prince Taiping couldn't wait any longer. He hadn't seen his granddaughter, Princess Changshou, for more than three months.
When one arrives at Prince Jin's Mansion in the capital, where can one wait for Mr. Guo?
Then Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan were washed and washed. They had just laid down and had not slept for more than two quarters of an hour when they were woken up by their servants. Then they knelt down after getting dressed.
The emperor burst into tears when he saw Concubine Yuan. Others could only lower their heads and pretend not to notice. The couple held on to the pain for a cup of tea. Fortunately, they asked the others to leave.
Others: Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as they walked out of the yard, they were notified by their servants that King Taiping was here.
Princess Changshou was sleeping soundly at this time. Prince Taiping went in to see and sincerely thanked Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan before going back.
Although King Taiping and the Emperor had not met each other, they knew each other.
The emperor's stay in Prince Jin's Mansion was not long, only an hour at most. After all, Mrs. Yuan had traveled a long distance, and as a son, he could tell at a glance what her face was like, so he had no nerve to stay longer.
Allen Chu and Chen Xiuyan fell asleep almost instantly when they lay down on the bed again.
When the two of them were sleeping soundly, the emperor and King Taiping already knew what happened on their journey. When they learned that Chu Wenqian had sent people around to buy food and send it to Taiyuan Mansion, they both felt a little emotional. He was an official material.
The main person in charge of the affairs was still Fuxing, and the emperor felt that Chu Wenqian had inherited the cautious and scheming temperament of King Jin. Even if he didn't grow up around him, the roots were still there in his blood. However, the emperor was in a surprisingly good mood. After all, the fiefdom's The prince and his son have outstanding abilities, so he can save a lot of worry, and the Ministry of Revenue can also keep more money in the purse.
Chu Wenqian takes office on September 16th. He can rest at home for a while and visit relatives.
Early in the morning on the first day of September, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan took Princess Changshou to the Taifu Mansion.
I haven’t seen him for more than a year, and Mr. Tao still has the same temperament as before, but after all, he is getting older, and Chen Xiuyan found that Mr. Tao has lost some weight.
Wang Yajie lives in Taifu's Mansion. He blames himself a little, "Master is tired because of teaching me. I even had a fever and fell ill a few days ago."
"What does having a fever have to do with teaching you?" Mr. Tao blew his beard and stared speechlessly, "But the medicine Xiao Yanyan left for me was very effective, so I took it twice and it was cured."
"I feel that my body and bones have become healthier in the past two years. That rice wine you gave me is very nourishing. Is there any more?" Mr. Tao asked Chen Xiuyan without blushing.
"Yes, I brought two jars. Anyway, we will all be in the capital from now on. If you don't have them, I will send them to you." Chen Xiuyan responded with a smile.
"You have a conscience." Mr. Tao chuckled, and then focused on Ranran, "It's just casual. To be honest, you got this nickname pretty well. It's casual and simple, and it means being raised by a peasant family. Go up and feel intimate again, hey, isn't it? It's whatever."
Tao Lao held Sui Yi carefully. The child of this month is exactly when he likes to "beep". His hands and legs also have some strength and will start to twist. But I don't know if Sui Yi is particularly sensible. In Tao Laohuai's case He didn't move much, he just reached out and gently stroked his beard, then smiled and blew bubbles.
Fortunately, Mr. Tao immediately presented the meeting gift that he had prepared long ago, including gold locks, gold necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, as well as a big red envelope and the house deed and land deed.
"I didn't expect Mr. Tao to be so rich." Chen Xiuyan gasped at the sight, "Isn't it because he emptied the whole house?"
Of course, Chen Xiuyan's words made Mr. Tao roll his eyes. Butler Tao listened with a mixture of sourness and sweetness in his heart. He was happy that Mr. Tao was more energetic, but sad that he had to give up.
"I am so old and have such a high position. I am a fool if I have no money." Mr. Tao sighed and said, "Wen Qian's current status is not suitable for him to be my disciple. Fortunately, we are now related. If you have an old friend, we can have more frequent visits, but those who I have good friends with cannot bring you to see you again."
"You recognize your ancestors and have a noble status. You don't need to work hard in your life. It's only right to take good care of yourself." Mr. Tao said, "You can't inherit the mantle. You can always get a share of the family's property. "
"I also have property..."
Chu Wenqian swallowed his words under Mr. Tao's glare, "What you got before was yours, and what you got later was given by your parents. As an uncle, what advice do I have for you?"
"No."
Only then did Mr. Tao snort with satisfaction, "I've also prepared Chu Yu's side. Don't worry, although I'm biased, I still have the dignity to be fair and just. Just don't talk nonsense. After all, I’ll give you more.”
