Chapter 155: Returning Home

"Huh? Brother Huang asked us to go back to Beijing? Ruan Mianmian slapped the table with his small hand and stood up, pinching his waist and staring at the messenger with some anger, and his heart was furious.

"Princess Zhuen hasn't arrived in Mobei yet, and now that the war has subsided, and the barbarians have withdrawn, why can't she go back to Mobei to marry?" Liu Xin'er also turned her head angrily. Marriages between big countries like this, the etiquette rules are cumbersome, and there can be no mistakes at all, in case people know that the princess's marriage team is not from Mobei Wangcheng, then it must not be criticized by future generations? Ruan Mianmian and their hard work just didn't want to make this twisty and twisted wedding unsatisfactory.

"It's... This is His Majesty's will, he is worried that the barbarians will still be unwilling after retreating, and will hijack the wedding team halfway, so let him return to Beijing immediately, and then he will send someone else to inform Mobei of the reason. The messenger came to Shacheng non-stop, but he was questioned like this, and he felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to defend these aunts and grandmothers, so he could only explain as much as he could.

"Sleep, sit down, Your Majesty's concerns should also be there, as long as it doesn't affect the holding of our wedding." Zhu En shrugged his shoulders and comforted softly, as if he didn't pay attention to these rules, and Lu Gui on the side also shook his slender legs leisurely, not caring.

"Alright, the messenger has worked hard too, here is the hard-earned money we gave you, I will have you prepare a room to rest." Mu Ruqing handled things tactfully, as soon as the ingot of gold was handed over, the messenger smiled happily, not to mention being scolded, at this time, if Ruan Mianmian couldn't come up and beat him, he could also bear it with a smile, and immediately thanked him and withdrew.

"If Zhu En and the King of England have no objection, maybe we should really go back earlier, prepare to pack today, set off tomorrow, and return to the capital the same way, don't delay the good day of their wedding." Jiang Xinyue handed Ruan Mianmian a glass of water.

"So fast? But the cannon hasn't come to us yet..."Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips and sat back in her seat, holding the teacup with a depressed expression.

"I just heard a message, and I just said it to Mianmian." Mu Ruqing chuckled, "Because of his great achievements, the cannon has just been named a protector general by His Majesty, and he has also been transferred to the capital, I'm afraid that you can write and see him early if we return to Beijing early." ”

"Really? Brother Mu, you didn't lie to me, did you? Ruan Mianmian couldn't hide his thoughts, Fang Cai's melancholy expression was like a rebirth at the moment, and he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly back to the capital immediately.

So in Ruan Mianmian's expectation, the Shacheng wedding team set off on time and arrived in the capital ten days later.

After meeting His Majesty and the Queen Mother, Ruan Mianmian and the others got into the carriage and returned to Yipinxiang. Hearing the ethereal and solid sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the blue brick avenue after a long absence, Ruan Mianmian felt indescribable emotion in her heart, now that she and Jiang Xinyue have changed back to the exquisite county lord uniform, they can no longer simply tie a hairband or pay no attention to makeup at all. Back in the capital, they are part of the royal face.

Princess Zhuen is very close to Yipinxiang, and she directly asked Yipinxiang in front of the emperor to prepare her wedding banquet with the King of England, and the wedding party on the wedding day set off from Yipinxiang.

The first one asked the emperor to agree, he originally thought so, but it seems that it is almost meaningful to welcome relatives from Yipinxiang, although Yipinxiang is already the biggest cronies outside his court, but in the final analysis, it is also a restaurant, so a little flexibility, let the welcoming team set off from the Jingshu County Lord's Mansion next door, which not only completes the dignity of the royal family, but also allows Zhuen to achieve the goal, killing two birds with one stone.

"Sister, have you inquired, when will the cannon arrive in the capital?" Ruan Mianmian leaned against the soft cushions, squinting and smiling.

"I've asked, thanks to you, I sent someone to ask three hundred times a day, and now the news is that it will arrive tomorrow without accident, he will take the team into the city from the West City Gate, I have chartered a nearby teahouse for you in advance, you can go over to pick him up, and it will save you the crowding and fatigue at that time." Jiang Xinyue leaned on Mu Ruqing's shoulder, and after returning to the capital, she seamlessly transitioned from a chivalrous county lord who was strategizing to a county lord who didn't ask about everything and just wanted to be happy.

"Sister Yue is so good, when we go back later, we will send someone to tell the new champion, the two of them must meet first, but Mrs. Jin should not let her know first, in case it is not clear in the end." Ruan Mianmian was still thinking about the relationship between Jin Jiaoyang and Fang Dacang, and he always had to take advantage of the fact that they were both in the capital to confirm.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, you just have to take care of your spirits, and wait for the general to take our general back to Beijing tomorrow." Mu Ruqing leaned on the carriage, still moving at random.

The next day, the weather was not good, it was drizzling for a while in the early morning, and after wetting the ground, it became a sunny day, although it was a little gloomy, fortunately, it did not continue to rain, Ruan Mianmian could no longer sleep as soon as the day dawned, she got up early to dress up, and the wound of the cup was also healed, and she was still waiting by her side.

The hour is still early, Ruan Mianmian looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she rarely wears such a bright color, the water-red light gauze skirt is a new style made in the palace, and the shawl is also a matching long yarn, embroidered with lingering fiery red maple leaves, which looks bright and moving like a fire from a distance.

Her hair is rarely combed into a more complicated flying fairy bun, the hair ornament is made of red gold and red treasure phoenix through the clouds, and there are three small hairpins with the same fan surface on the side, which are also red with gold threads, luxurious without losing aura, and lively and pleasant to move.

Ruan Mianmian looked at it for a while, and then picked out a water red satin palace fan, which was embroidered with the Baifang diagram drawn by everyone in the previous dynasty, which made her eyebrows and eyes more affectionate, and her demeanor was like the lady in the painting.

The street in the west of the city, near the west gate, is very wide, but at this time it is as lively as a market, the people gather on both sides of the street, and in the middle of the vacated street from time to time there are rich children shouting and galloping, and children also climb the wall in groups, making faces at the worried shouts of adults.

Ruan Mianmian and the other people who tasted incense thought that they came early enough, who knew that they were still stuck on the road for a long time before they arrived at the teahouse they booked, they were not worried about showing up, so they got off the car directly and walked up to the second floor of the teahouse, many familiar Yipinxiang diners greeted warmly, and spontaneously blocked the surging crowd for them, they didn't dare to stay, and they only relaxed when they arrived at their own room.

"It's a good place to choose, the windows are so big, you can see the street outside when you look down." Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er were childlike and couldn't be idle at all, so they directly pushed open the window and felt the cool air mixed with rain outside.

"Mianmian is dressed up so beautifully, and I will see you directly as soon as the cannon shows up later, and I can't walk when the time comes, so I delay going to the palace to thank you, tsk, the old man who tells the story tomorrow has one more thing to say." Jiang Xinyue smiled dotingly, and didn't stop them, but only let the holding lamp take Ruan Mianmian's goose feather cushion and put it on the seat, so that she wouldn't be used to sitting.

"It's coming, the new general has already entered the city gate, riding a tall horse, so majestic!" The street was full of people in an instant, and the people probed their heads to look over, Ruan Mianmian could only hear someone in the crowd shouting this, and hurriedly poked his head out to see how majestic the Fang cannon was.

The condescending view on the second floor is really much better, and when there is still some way to go, Ruan Mianmian saw the square cannon riding on the horse, he was dressed in silver armor and silver crown, his back was straight, the whole person was riding on the horse holding the reins, his eyes were firm, and his somewhat emaciated face made people feel that he had an extraordinary temperament, which attracted countless cheers from the young girls on the street.

Ruan Mianmian knew that this situation would inevitably occur, and now the most proud young talents in the capital, Jin Jiaoyang, the champion of Wen Youxin, and Wu is the youngest protector general Fang Cannon, these two are the same age, their faces and talents are outstanding, and they are young and promising, so they are naturally the best choice for the noble lady to be married.

But she didn't care, because she understood Fang Dacang's heart, she was honest and had no other ideas, her heart was full of her Ruan Mianmian, but she felt extremely proud, because Jin Jiaoyang, the new champion, was now sitting at the coffee table behind her, and the general of the protector held her in the palm of his hand.

Not only Ruan Mianmian, but other people who were a pint of incense also came to the window, Jin Jiaoyang saw that they were so attentive, and it was not easy to save face, so he also followed with a cold face, "You called me here to watch this kind of boring thing?" ”

No one paid attention to him, he glanced sideways and couldn't ask for a moment, the man in military uniform on a horse, and he looked simply... Brothers are generally similar.

As soon as Fang Cannon walked to this side, the little girls on both sides of the street were not calm, and they took out the handkerchiefs embroidered with their names, most of these handkerchiefs were smoked with fragrance, and they were pinched in their hands at the moment, waiting for Fang Cannon to be thrown out as soon as they approached.

This is also a custom nowadays, if a girl meets her favorite Lang Jun on the street, she will quietly throw the veil to him, if he also likes, he should pick it up and start to inquire about the young lady's house, if he doesn't like it, he will not pick it up at all, or take it away and burn it, and it will not embarrass the little girl. This method has achieved a lot of happy marriages, so people don't say anything anymore, especially this kind of young talent goes out on the street and gets a big basket of handkerchiefs, handkerchiefs, and sachets, fans, etc., which is not unusual.

Liu Xin'er saw that Fang Cannon was thrown a bunch of handkerchiefs, and suddenly had an idea, turned around and pulled her close-fitting handkerchief from Ruan Mianmian's body, pushed her into the middle of the window, and shouted at the top of her throat: "Cannon!! ”

This sound was incredible, Fang Dacang still recognized it immediately in the noisy environment, after all, except for his own family members, no one dared to call him by name, and immediately looked up in the direction of the voice, only to see Liu Xin'er happily grabbing Ruan Mianmian's hand and beckoning to him, Ruan Mianmian's eyebrows were picturesque, and she smiled a little shyly.
