Ning Pengpeng and the others don't know these things, and now they feel as if there are hungry wolves chasing behind them.
It originally took more than twenty days to reach the capital, but it took them half a month to get there!
Entering from the city gate, everyone's horizons have been broadened along the way.
But I was still shocked by this prosperous capital city.
At a glance, the main street of the capital is several feet wide.
Even if the carriages are sitting side by side, four or five can travel without feeling cramped at all.
On both sides of the main street, there are countless small streets, criss-crossing it.
At the entrance of every small street, there is a gate.
These gates will be closed whenever the curfew comes.
In this way, an independent area is formed.
In areas where staying in the middle of the night is not allowed, if someone does not comply, they will be caught by those patrolling.
Once caught, it is still trivial to use a whip.
If you are an official, you will still be fined a salary even if you don't lose your official title.
Of course, these regulations are a different matter if they belong to the powerful.
After all, not all of those on patrol are stupid young people. No matter who they are, they will never let them go if they catch them.
If that is the case, when these dignitaries go out, they will only be fined a small salary or scolded by His Majesty.
As for those patrolling people, they seem to have great power, but that is only for ordinary people.
If you offend the powerful, the powerful will only lose some money, but they will most likely lose their jobs and lives.
After Ning Pengpeng's carriage entered the capital, the news quickly reached the ears of Ning Youxi and Boss Ning.
Because they learned that their mother was coming to the capital, the two of them specially sent people to guard the city gate every day.
Before Ning Pengpeng and his carriage arrived at the gate of Cui Mansion, they were stopped by someone.
"mother!"
Boss Ning was filled with tears and shouted excitedly to Ning Pengpeng in the carriage.
Ning Pengpeng lifted the curtain of the car and looked at Boss Ning up and down. "Good guy, I haven't been in the capital for a long time!"
Why did the young man who looked pretty good at first look like a middle-aged greasy man now?
Counting on your fingers, this cheap and big boy of yours seems to be only about thirty years old, right?
Now, his belly is swollen and he still has two mustaches on his mouth.
No matter how you look at it, it will hurt your eyes.
Ning Pengpeng resisted and did not turn her head.
"It's just the right time for you to come. Let's meet you and see you happily together, and then go home together."
"Hey, okay, mother, I'll listen to you."
Boss Ning quickly nodded in agreement and took a step forward, wanting to get on Ning Pengpeng's carriage and have a good chat with his mother.
But Ning Pengpeng lowered the car curtain and asked Lin Guangsheng to rush to the car.
Boss Ning was lost for a while, then climbed into his carriage and told the driver to follow him quickly.
Soon, the group of them stopped at the door of Cui Mansion.
Ning Pengpeng asked Jiang Chengen to send her a greeting card. When Mrs. Cui received the greeting card, she couldn't help but snorted coldly.
He wanted to keep people out, but Ning Pengpeng was the head of the county with a title and a fiefdom.
If a quarrel breaks out, I will still lose face.
What's more, there is a hob meat in the house!
I can only tolerate the discomfort in my heart and let people come in.
However, if you want her to receive you, you don’t have to think about it!
He didn't want to find something to do, so he directly ordered his servants to take them to Ning Youxi's yard.
Ning Pengpeng and Boss Ning, after following the adults in, raised their eyebrows when they saw that they were not on their way to the main hall.
When they arrived at the entrance of the young mistress's yard, the servant who led the way replied in a low voice.
"The eldest lady said that the young lady married away to the capital, and the county master must have missed her very much.
Therefore, I will bring you to meet the young mistress first."
Hearing this, Ning Pengpeng remained silent and just looked at the maid who was leading the way.
The maid was so watched that large drops of sweat flowed from her forehead.
I don’t know why, but I heard that the Lord of Shouning County is an old country woman.
But the majesty she felt was actually much more powerful than that of the old lady.
Just when she couldn't stand it anymore and was about to kneel to the ground, she saw Ning Youxi's courtyard door being opened.
"mother!"
Ning Youxi saw Ning Pengpeng and rushed towards her excitedly.
Ning Pengpeng's original momentum dropped, and she helplessly stretched out her arms to hug Ning Youxi, who was rushing towards her, and couldn't help but say.
"You are so old yet you are so frizzy and you are not afraid of falling."
"Mom, no matter how old I am, I am still a child in front of you."
Ning Youxi pouted and acted coquettishly and replied reluctantly.
The young lady's current childlike appearance made the people who were originally serving in Cui's residence stunned.
From the time when the young mistress enters the house, to when the young mistress is fighting with the eldest lady.
They all looked at it seriously, but the young lady was not an easy person to handle.
Now the painting style suddenly changed and they couldn't help but look sideways.
At the same time, he couldn't help but quietly look at the young concubine's biological mother, the current head of Shouning County whom His Majesty personally anointed.
Look at the way the Lord of Shouning County is smiling and holding the young mistress’s hand, does it seem different from the one in the legend?
Ning Youxi finished acting coquettishly in front of Ning Pengpeng, and then said hello to Boss Ning.
"Brother."
As a foreigner, Boss Ning was actually a little inappropriate when he was brought to the inner courtyard, so he was very unhappy with the way the Cui family treated guests!
However, he didn't look down on his sister and nodded towards her.
"Mom, if you and your sister have something to say, I'll wait in the outer courtyard!"
He could be considered as sending his mother in. If he didn't enter his sister's yard, others wouldn't be able to say anything.
However, even if someone tells him, he is not afraid.
The Cui family's hospitality to guests like this is a disgrace to the Cui family.
"Chun Xing, take your uncle to the front hall to wait on you, don't be lazy!
Then ask someone to send a message to the young master, saying that my mother has arrived in Beijing."
Ning Youxi ordered to his personal maid.
"Yes, young mistress.
Uncle, please come this way."
Chun Xing immediately responded, walked respectfully to Boss Ning's side, and bent down to make an invitation gesture to him.
Seeing Boss Ning follow Chun Xing, Ning Youxi also pulled Ning Pengpeng into the courtyard without even looking at the maid who was leading the way.
After the courtyard door was closed, the maid who led the way took a deep breath.
Just now, she was really scared to death!
However, even if she was frightened, she could only go back in a hurry and warn the eldest lady that the young lady had called someone to call the young master back to the house.
After all, she belongs to the eldest lady.
As soon as he entered the room, Ning Youxi served tea and then sent all the servants out.
"Why, there is so much evil in the Cui family's house?"
Ning Pengpeng picked up the bowl, took a sip, glanced at Ning Youxi and asked.
"Mom, my daughter can handle it well."
Ning Youxi replied with a smile to Ning Pengpeng.
Then, without hiding anything, he told Ning Pengpeng what happened in the past few days.
