No one thought that Princess Huimin would be so crazy. It was equivalent to going directly to Xie Mansion to kidnap Xie Songhua.
Seeing that his servant was gone, the tension on Xie Langhua's face relaxed somewhat. He subconsciously grabbed Xie Songhua's arm and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
Xie Songhua nodded casually, still wondering whether the person named Jiang mentioned by Princess Huimin could be the Jiang couple.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt something was wrong. When Xie Yuncang got the news, Jiang and his wife had already left Qingshui Town for a while.
At that time, she had no relationship with Xiao Yu at all. Princess Huimin's eyes were higher than those of others, so how could she go to Qingshui Town to find Jiang and his wife?
But looking at the way she said those words just now, it clearly meant something profound.
Xie Songhua couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she had to gently lift the corner of the car curtain and pay attention to what was going on outside.
The carriage showed no signs of going to any city gate, which meant that Princess Huimin's destination was still in the city.
"Where is this going?"
Xie Langhua looked outside with her, "This is the direction to Liulichang. There are no famous restaurants over there. What is Princess Huimin going to do?"
"I'm not very familiar with the capital. Brother, let's think about it. What else can we do over there?"
Xie Langhua has now served in the Ministry of Industry's appointment for several months, and is no longer as green as when he first entered the officialdom.
His sister's words really reminded him of something. He opened a corner of the car curtain and took a look. He frowned and said, "No! Why do you think you are going to Liulichang?"
"What's wrong?"
Xie Langhua did not answer her immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Could it be that we are going to Liang Yuan?"
"What is that place?"
"I have heard that this place was originally the residence of a prince and noble from the previous dynasty, because his wife was from Jiangnan. This garden is very different from other gardens in our capital. It is completely in the style of Jiangnan gardens.
Later, dynasties changed, and it changed hands several times and almost fell into decline. Until ten or twenty years ago, it was bought by a wealthy businessman and turned into a private restaurant."
"I heard from my brother that this place should be quite famous. Why does it sound like my brother doesn't know much about it?"
If such a large garden is used for business, it will naturally be the business of powerful and wealthy people.
The Xie family is considered a wealthy family in the capital, but Xie Langhua doesn't know what's going on inside. It seems to be somewhat unusual.
Xie Langhua's face turned a little red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I used to only focus on studying, but have I ever been to a place like this?
And this is not a place where serious scholars should go. I heard that there are many specially trained Yangzhou thin horses. Even if the big shots go in, they are very hidden and will not be known to outsiders."
His reputation is so great, but he can still hide it from outsiders.
Xie Songhua suddenly became curious about this place. Most people might not be able to enter such a place.
What kind of person does it take to socialize here?
"However, when going from Liulichang to Liangyuan, you have to pass through Tie Laohu Temple. If it is convenient, you should not take this road."
Seeing the puzzlement on Xie Songhua's face, he explained seriously: "The previous dynasty believed in Buddhism, and there were many large and small temples in the capital alone.
But now in this dynasty, the Holy Spirit is a firm believer in spiritual religion. Many of these large and small temples have been demolished, and the incense in Tielaohu Temple is not very prosperous. Last year, I reported it to the Ministry of Industry and took back this piece of land. Recently, we are working on it.
It was demolished and rebuilt and turned into a spiritual temple."
Having said this, he lowered his voice subconsciously, "I built it for the Imperial Master, so I expropriated some surrounding land and wanted to build it before the Imperial Master's birthday.
If I remember correctly, there should be construction going on here, and the road in the past should be blocked and impassable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped, and the coachman next to the Xie family's coachman opened the curtain, "I'm really embarrassed. I didn't know that the road was being built here and the road ahead was blocked.
But we couldn’t delay the banquet arranged by the princess, so we had to go through Tielaohu Temple. It was a little messy inside, and the carriage might be a little bumpy. Don’t mind it, you two. Please be more careful."
After saying that, without waiting for their answer, he lowered the curtain of the carriage, turned the horse's head directly, and headed towards the half-remaining gate of Tielaohu Temple.
Xie Langhua leaned out of the car window, and the people following the car outside said: "Master Xie, don't worry, our princess has already made an agreement with the person in charge here, and the front can pass."
Xie Langhua didn't look at him, but looked at the carriage of the princess brother and sister in front, and then got in.
The other side is also guarded by people, so even if you want to jump out of the carriage, you can't.
Xie Langhua's face looked a little ugly. When Xie Songhua saw this, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother is worried that they are doing something here?"
"Many craftsmen here are dispatched from several major pro-military guards."
The implication is that with the power of the eldest princess and Princess Huimin, it is not difficult to do something.
Seeing that Xie Songhua's face also became serious, he finally patted her shoulder and comforted her: "I hope my little guy can be smarter."
In fact, Xie Langhua's servant was smart enough. He had been walking in the busy city since he left the carriage and did not dare to go to remote places.
At the same time, I was extremely anxious, and I just looked forward to rushing to the Liubu Yamen. At least the master and the third master were at the official office.
But he could clearly feel two tails following him.
He used to be a little book boy who followed his young master. How could he have seen such a scene? He had already been frightened.
Unexpectedly, the road took a turn, and when I passed a teahouse, I saw Xie Wenhua coming out with two or three friends.
The few people next to him were all warriors at first glance, and they even had swords on their bodies.
The young man immediately felt like he saw a savior and immediately rushed over, "Young Master!"
As soon as Xie Wenhua turned around, he saw him running over breathlessly. The young man did not dare to delay, "Quick! Go and see the second young master and the third young lady. The princess and the young prince have taken them away."
Xie Wenhua was still puzzled, "Didn't you just drink tea at home? Where did you take it? Didn't you drink enough at home?"
The boy looked in the direction he came from with some horror. The few people who had followed him had all withdrawn at this time. He anxiously explained the matter in general, specifically emphasizing that Princess Huimin's people would
The carriages were surrounded.
When Xie Wenhua heard what he said, he immediately knew the urgency of the matter. When he asked the boy to go find Xie Yuncang, he quickly went to the backyard to get the horse, and said to a man who was a few years older than him: "Zheng
Second brother, I’m really sorry. I invited you out for a drink today, but something like this happened. I will punish myself with three drinks the next day to apologize.”
The man known as Brother Zheng put his hands behind his back, looked gentle, and nodded lightly, "The things at the moment are important, it doesn't matter when we get together."
Xie Wenhua was not polite, and immediately said to the young man next to him: "If you are a brother, go and find a few people for me. I'm afraid something will really happen this time."
Several people nearby were a little surprised at this moment. They actually offended the princess and the young prince?!
But they were all brothers in the camp, a life-and-death friendship, so there was nothing to say at this time. When even two of them got on their horses to find someone, the other two followed Xie Wenhua.
Seeing the group of them hurrying towards the south of the city, the man known as Brother Zheng frowned and immediately rushed to the Zhenfusi Yamen.
Commander Huang has explained that special attention should be paid to matters concerning the Xie family, especially those related to Miss Xie San.
