Chapter 825 The capital in half a year
January later, the Xia Shang returned to the capital.
The news was not gone, Xia Shang treated himself as a traveler and opened a room in the inn and stayed there for the time being.
This time when he returned to the capital, Xia Shang knew that he would be involved in a very complicated vortex again, but compared with the last time.
This time, Xia Shang's own purpose was clearer.
The most important thing about Xia Shang’s trip was to find Jinniang.
Judging from the news obtained by Bashu, Jinniang was hiding behind a prince.
Xia Shang dared not determine whether it was the eldest prince or the second prince.
But this Jin Niang hid very deeply, so naturally she would not easily reveal her feet.
When dealing with such people, you must not use common sense to guess.
Therefore, Xia Shang even suspected that the third prince would have something to do with her, and had thought about whether it would be the somewhat mysterious Nangong Chuxin.
But these are just speculations of Xia Shang, and there is no way to make a judgment without real evidence.
Xia Shang knew that Zhang Kui's Beggars' Sect had penetrated into the capital, but he also thought that Zhang Kui had been monitored by some forces in the capital.
In order to ensure that he will not be discovered for the time being, Xia Shang still did not try to contact Zhang Kui.
From Xia Shang's heart, what he was most worried about was the emperor.
I don’t know if the emperor still insisted on killing himself after nearly half a year of the matter.
If the emperor wanted to kill himself, the Xia and Shang Dynasty would be shameless no matter where they were.
After half a year, when I returned to the capital, Xia Shang took some time to understand and observe the situation in the capital.
After three days of inquiry, Xia Shang was a little unexpected.
What I still remember half a year ago can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire capital.
Not only did there be many murders in the capital, but also Mr. Dongyue, which implicated the entire gentry and literati, and even the army arrived in the city. Finally, it involved the emperor and various princes, and almost the entire capital was implicated.
Such a big change would have caused many chain effects, such as someone taking the opportunity to get rid of some people, many officials will be dismissed, many crazy rumors, etc.
As a result, Xia Shang found that nothing big seemed to have happened in the past six months. The only thing that people could talk about was that the third prince was re-respected by the emperor and had the opportunity to go to court to follow the government, while the eldest prince was still in a confinement.
The eldest prince's six-month confinement period has not expired, and there are still ten days left.
Xia Shang returned just in time. In another ten days, the eldest prince would appear in front of everyone.
I don’t know what changes will happen to the previous one this time, whether the emperor’s Nobuna will still be able to get the emperor’s Nobuna, or whether there will be another bloody storm.
The capital is now peaceful, and this calmness should continue until the appearance of the eldest prince.
The current peace has made the people and the gentry forget the tension half a year ago. In their spare time, people pay more attention to the romantic relationship between men and women.
Two things about romance and romance attracted the attention of Xia and Shang dynasties.
One thing is that Ruo Chushi, who comes from Suzhou, will perform in the newly opened Liuyuelou in the capital, and will challenge the local courtesans in the capital as the leading brand of Liuyuelou.
After more than a year, the wind of "Dream of Red Mansions" finally blew into the capital. The legend that used to be spotted is always telling the story of a book "Dream of Red Mansions" and a woman born in a brothel.
As novel stories become more and more popular, the book's Chinese talent is amazed by more and more people, and more and more people are pursuing the source of the author.
Over time, Ruo first met his name gradually replaced Cao Xueqin and became one of the representatives of thousands of romantic figures.
If the first sight of his fame in Jiangnan has reached its peak, it has become the focus of discussion among men, women, young and old in the capital.
The first meeting that countless people have expected will finally appear in the capital, so the people who like the romantic people in the capital are in full bloom.
This is the most common thing Xia Shang heard after returning to the capital. The story about Ruochu has been adapted into countless versions, and even a three or five-year-old doll can say a few words.
Xia Shang was completely unaware of this matter.
Since I chose to come to Beijing for the first time, it must be the result of many discussions among friends in Suzhou.
As the largest shareholder behind Chujian, Xia Shang naturally hopes to be famous all over the world when Chujian is seen.
But there are still some rumors that are rumored, and it will be a while before the first appearance.
The second thing is a happy event between acquaintances. It is said that Li Youlan and the little prince Li Zijin got married, and the wedding was on the day when Xia Shang returned to the capital.
However, it was three days after Xia Shang learned about this.
This news is really surprising, because Li Youlan used to treat Li Zijin as a little brat, and she always looked at him with a little disdain. How could she have a relationship with Li Zijin?
However, Xia Shang was also happy to hear such news.
At least Li Youlan's marriage to Li Zijin is the best ending that Xia Shang could have thought of.
Xia Shang summarized the news he had learned. He felt that everything would have to be observed after Li Xin came out of confinement, so he was relatively leisurely in the following time.
Xia Shang has a good relationship with Li Youlan and Li Zijin, and these two people are outsiders in the battle for power in the capital.
So the first person Xia Shang decided to meet after returning to the capital was them.
The royal family has royal rules, and when the prince gets married, he cannot live in the palace.
So Li Zijin moved to an idle and renovated royal villa outside the capital.
Because Li Zijin was only fifteen years old and was too young, she had no title and fiefdom for the time being, and she did not have any mansion for her own, so she temporarily lived in a villa under the royal family and regarded it as her temporary prince's mansion.
There was a paradise far away from disputes. Xia Shang searched for a long time before finding it.
When Xia Shang arrived at the door, he found that there were many servants sweeping the floor in front of the door. It was obvious that he had just moved here and the yard had not been cleaned up.
Li Zijin just lived alone, so she brought a lot of guards.
The guards at the door saw Xia Shang, a stranger, quickly surrounded him and asked about Xia Shang's identity very trivial.
Xia Shang explained his purpose, but did not explain much. He gave him a fan to protect himself and asked them to hand it over to Li Zijin or Li Youlan.
The guard opened the fan and looked at it. When he saw the words on the fan, he was a little strange. He gave Xia Shang a speechless look and muttered in a low voice: "What..."
No matter how much the guards were talking, they still brought their fans into the yard.
After a quarter of an hour, a familiar woman trotted over with the guards.
Everyone around was surprised. When could the wife, who had always been dignified and virtuous, run out so ignorantly?
It was not someone else who came, it was Li Youlan.
When Li Youlan saw the simple three words "Didn't you dick" on the fan, she was excited. When she arrived at the door, she was so excited that her face turned red. When she saw Xia Shang pounce on his arms and gave a big hug!
All the guards and servants gasped: "What's the situation?" (To be continued)
