In Jiang's house, Xu Caining was on tenterhooks all morning.
After Jiang Wan left home, almost every half hour, she would send someone to the intersection to see if Jiang Wan's carriages and horses had returned from the palace. Even if she knew that Jiang Wan would not come back so early, she
Still can't control my thoughts.
After two hours had passed and sending someone to wait at the intersection could no longer comfort her, she simply sent someone to wait near the palace gate. So, when Jiang Wan's figure appeared in her eyes
, her joy of relief could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried.
If there weren't servants and guards around her, if she didn't want to maintain the dignity of a mistress, she would have wanted to run over and throw herself into his arms.
"came back!"
A morning of anxious waiting turned into three words with a smile on her face. Jiang Wan smiled and looked at the woman who had become his wife, and nodded with a smile: "Back!"
The servants and guards dispersed sensibly, and the room became quiet.
"Polu has been making a fuss for a while and just fell asleep!" Xu Caining tidied his clothes: "Why did you go so long? Did Your Majesty have so much to say to you?"
"You've been worried about me for so long, wouldn't it be reasonable to say a few more words?" Jiang Wan smiled: "Are you worried too, afraid that I won't come back?"
"What do you think?" Xu Caining rolled her eyes at him: "I have seen stupid and bold people, but I have never seen anyone as stupid and bold as you. Our Majesty really wants to kill his ministers, but he doesn't blink an eye!"
"I'm talking about being confident!" Jiang Wan laughed: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"
"It's been prepared a long time ago. I'll ask them to bring it over!" Xu Caining smiled and nodded: "Let's chat while eating..."
"Oh, didn't we talk enough last night?" Jiang Wan teased her, and Xu Caining blushed slightly: "It's not serious. I said we were talking about business. Did you talk about business with me last night?"
Counting the days, the two have been separated for more than a year. From the time when Xu Caining was pregnant and Jiang Wan left the capital, to now when Jiang Polu was crawling all over the place, the two met again, but whether it was Xu Caining or Jiang Wan,
, the two of them didn't even feel a trace of strangeness except for a little separation that was better than the excitement of newlyweds.
Even going out, coming home, chatting, and eating together are just like a normal couple.
If you don't look into what the husband does when he goes out, he is really no different from other families.
"The emperor asked you to take Polu into the palace to see the Queen Mother and the Empress. You should be rewarded with some grace!" Jiang Wan said vaguely: "If the palace doesn't send anyone, you can send someone to ask. Let's see.
See when the time is right!”
"Oh, let's not go to Liaodong then?" Xu Caining said, "My luggage hasn't been scattered yet!"
"Don't be in a hurry!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "I'll probably stay in Beijing for a while. I don't know when I will leave. If you want to see Liaodong when you leave, go together. If you don't want to go, just stay in Beijing with Polu.
Here, it’s up to you, the emperor probably won’t pay any more attention to your stay!”
"Then there won't be any more Jin Yiwei in the house?" Xu Caining glanced outside.
"Look, the emperor will probably order Luo Yangxing. If Luo Yangxing is not interested, then I will go and have a chat with him!" Jiang Wan said with a smile: "Your husband, I am now a big shot on the same level as Luo Yangxing. This point
Will Luo Yang be able to give me face?"
"Let's see what you can do. This is the capital, not Liaodong!" Xu Caining rolled his eyes at his father-in-law angrily: "My eldest brother was ordered by His Majesty to shut up and think about it for a month, but it was the Jin Yiwei who was watching the door. Do you think my eldest brother dares to
Dare to go out!"
"This is a good thing!" Jiang Wan laughed happily: "The emperor who was harmed by my eldest brother was worried for nothing. Isn't it normal to receive a small punishment? However, eldest brother's favor will not be less, and it will only get worse."
It’s getting heavier and heavier, this is a huge good thing for your Dingguogong lineage, it doesn’t get in the way, it doesn’t get in the way!”
"It's really not a problem?" Xu Caining asked in disbelief.
"It's not a problem!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Actually, we should rest assured that His Majesty was willing to go see me in person yesterday. If he was really worried that we would be detrimental to him, he would never come and send hundreds of people.
That's a normal reaction when the Jin Yiwei comes. It seems that Your Majesty doesn't want to lose me as a loyal minister!"
"Hmph, bragging!" Xu Caining snorted: "Doesn't that mean Fuyao and Catherine can both come back? These days, they have been eating and sleeping outside, and I'm afraid they have suffered a lot. If nothing else,
It’s better to let them come back quickly, our Jiang family is very thin, so it would be good to let them add some younger brothers and sisters to Polu!”
"Catherine is afraid that she won't be able to come back!" Jiang Wan shook her head: "If Langji is going to cause trouble, where can we find such a good opportunity to make money? Catherine can speak to Francoji, and she has the right people.
I support, this time, the Francois and the Portuguese fight, no matter they win or lose, we have to skin them anyway!"
"What about Fuyao? Fuyao is in that miserable place in Haojing'ao. He can always come back. Yanran is watching over there. There is no need for her to be there too!"
"Fuyao can't come back!" Jiang Wan still shook his head: "Yanran is not in Haojing'ao now. If nothing else, she is in Ryukyu Kingdom now. All the business of our firm in Haojing'ao is
Fuyao is taking care of it, she is coming back, who will take care of things over there!"
"Hey!" Xu Caining let out a long sigh: "Our family is still not prosperous. You have become prosperous now. Why don't you have a few poor relatives who have come to seek refuge? The masters have to do everything themselves.
If you go out and do it, you, the great old man, must have failed too much!"
"Are you gently persuading me to have more concubines? By the way, someone from North Korea gave me a pair of sisters, they are quite pretty..."
"Shut up!" Xu Caining glared: "I don't care about Korea or Ryukyu. In short, our family already has Fuyao and Catherine. No one else can enter our Jiang family without my wife's nod.
Door!"
"Such a big reaction..." Jiang Wan muttered and silently picked up the rice in the bowl.
"Master!" Xu Caining rolled his eyes and showed a charming smile: "If it is bitterly cold in Liaodong and you want to find some concubines to warm your bed, I won't be so unkind. However, you are now a dignified commander.
, but those wild flowers that come from nooks and crannies can be served casually. If you really mean this, have you forgotten that I have a building in my name?"
She chuckled and said: "What type do you like? Tell me. I'm sure no matter what type, I can find a few good girls for you. Moreover, they are clean, loyal and reliable, and they are better than those vixens outside."
Much stronger..."
Jiang Wan buried her head deeper in her rice bowl: "Eat, eat! While eating, talk about women, bad appetites..."
