Chapter 201: A Little Return to Beijing

(Thanks to the "Edgeworth Flying Pengzhonglou" for the tip.) Thanks to the comments of enthusiastic readers, your support is the biggest motivation for Yixin. I'm going back this afternoon.,After going back, I'll resume two shifts a day.,Thank you again.,Ask for a fan ticket.................. ）

On the sixth day of the first month of November, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate, and Xiaoxiao is scheduled to enter Beijing on this day to reunite with her husband.

This time I returned to Beijing, Xiaoxiao made plans to stay for a long time. Therefore, a lot of clothes, furniture and daily necessities are brought with me. It was full of three carriages, and the servants in Huayinjiang Mansion also carefully selected more than 20 people to accompany them. These are heartfelt servants who are willing to leave their hometown and willingly follow their wife to Beijing.

》

In the No. 1 building of Zuixiao Villa, Xiaoxiao originally planned to let the eldest uncle and the second uncle live in it, but the two uncles were unwilling to toss, and they were used to living in Jiangfu, and they didn't want to move their nests, so they were vacant. Xiaoxiao wanted to keep it for herself and her husband to spend time in their spare time, but at this time, the house. If it is uninhabited for three or five consecutive years, it will be very old. In the future, if you have leisure to come back, you can also stay in a guest room on the farm. With this in mind, Xiaoxiao decided to sell the house.

As soon as the news was released, more than a dozen people enthusiastically subscribed within two or three days, making Xiao Xiao a little overwhelmed. In the end, I had to adopt the method of bidding, and the highest price was won. The way it is used is different from the way of bargaining in later generations. She gathered more than a dozen wealthy people who were interested in buying the villa and held a tea party. Then let the rich people each write down the highest price they can afford to buy this villa on a slip of paper. She personally dismantled them one by one on the spot, and the one with the highest price could buy this luxury villa.

In the end, a wealthy man who ran Dashi jewelry in Beijing bought the villa for 48,000 yuan. His bid was nearly 5,000 yuan higher than that of a salt merchant in second place. When others asked him why he was willing to spend such a huge amount of money to buy this villa, which was only worth 20,000 yuan at most, the rich man actually looked at the questioner with idiotic eyes:

"You know a ball, the house where the champion and the female Bodhisattva lived, the aura, the auspiciousness, is that what money can buy?"

The person who asked the question was choked up, and said in his heart: Since it is so precious, why do you only give 48,000 yuan, your casual piece of jewelry is tens of thousands, why not a hundred and eighty thousand yuan, wouldn't it be safer, of course, it is not good to say this in person.

What people didn't expect was that after the jewelry merchant bought the house, he hurriedly sent his two young sons over to live in it. Then he spared no expense to send the two little guys to study in Jiang Jiayi School. As a result, in less than two years, the two children who failed repeatedly were admitted to Xiucai, which made the rich people who participated in the bidding feel full of regret: I knew that I was really so aura, even if I smashed the pot and sold iron, I should have bought that villa......

Of course, this is an afterword, after the sale of this villa. Coupled with the profits and savings of Jiangfu over the years, Xiaoxiao has nearly 100,000 yuan in his hands, which has long surpassed the category of "tens of thousands of yuan" described by the ancients as rich, and has stepped into the ranks of the super-rich, uh...... Tiny super-rich ......

packed up, arranged the manpower, and said goodbye to the eldest uncle and second uncle, Jiang Yunjiang Feng and Qing'er and others, and Xiaoxiao finally boarded the carriage with the tiger's head. Uncle Jiang is extremely reluctant to Yaya and Dandan, these two little babies have been more than three months and can already laugh. And the skin has also come out of the pink and tender, no longer as red as when it was first born, and there are some wrinkles, which is the most endearing time. Today's separation, it will not be so convenient to see each other in the future, so Uncle Jiang has been holding Yaya and Dandan, and refuses to let go.

Seeing that the young lady had boarded the carriage and was ready to leave, she helped Mrs. Li into the carriage first. Then he turned his head and said to Uncle Jiang:

"Sir, Miss has already gotten in the car, look at ......." Uncle Jiang glanced at her a few times, but after all, he still couldn't get past the reality, and hesitated to hand over the maid and Dandan, and let her hold it and hand it to Cui Qiao in the car. As for the man himself, he only stayed in Huayin temporarily to supervise the construction of the second phase of Zuixiao Villa. Incidentally...... Continue to pass on books with her lover Li Siye Hongyan and cultivate feelings.

Xiaoxiao originally wanted to take advantage of the few months she had stayed in Huayin to get the marriage done for Fu'er and Li Siye, and the marriage would be finalized even if it was not good. But now the friction between the southwestern frontier and the mountain bureaucrats is intensifying, and there are almost daily battles. Li Siye, as the main general of Zuo Xiaowei, was really difficult to withdraw, and the matter was finally dragged down helplessly, and he still hadn't tossed out his ugliness, which made Xiaoxiao a little frustrated......

Everyone got into the car, and the team was finally ready to go. Looking at the several old people who looked reluctant outside the car window, especially the white hair on Uncle Jiang's head, the joy of reuniting with his husband in his little heart was also diluted, and he began to feel sad.

These old people are the few remaining relatives of the husband. And over the years, they have also helped themselves, helped their husbands a lot, and they also sincerely love and like their baby sons Tiger Head and Yaya, and Dandan. Even sometimes the tiger head and a few little guys are arguing, and Jiang Erbo actually blames his own grandchildren first, whether he is reasonable or unreasonable. But he never even said a word to the tiger head......

"The two uncles, aunts, and nephews are about to set off, please go back. When you settle down in Beijing and the family business prospers, your daughter-in-law will definitely come back to visit you with the tiger head, the maid, and the ball. Anyway, it's not far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, and it's convenient to travel by official carriages......"

Uncle Jiang's dry hand clasped the window of the carriage tightly, and he reluctantly looked at the tiger head, Yaya and Dandan again, and then turned to Xiaoxiao, and said in a dry voice:

"Xiaoxiao, when you go to Jingshi, take care of a few children, take care of Xuan'er, and of course, the most important thing is to take care of yourself. If you are tired and fall, then Xuan'er and a few children will have no one to take care of, and the eldest and second uncles will also worry about you, have you made a note?"

Xiaoxiao could only nod his head without stopping what he could say, looking at the expressions on the faces of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, his eyes began to pantothenic. Quickly patted the wall of the carriage: "Let's go......"

The coachman flicked the whip with a "snap", and the carriage slowly started and headed forward. Ten royal guards and ten capable Jiangfu guards, each with a blade and riding a healthy horse, followed each other in front and back, guarding the carriage and heading in the direction of the Jingshi.

The people left behind in the Jiang Mansion did not come back to their senses until the convoy completely disappeared from sight. Jiang Zhixuan and Xiaoxiao took a few children away. Jiang Fu was suddenly snubbed a lot. And this time, he will rarely come back in the future, which makes everyone in Jiangfu even more disappointed. Jiang Feng looked at his wife's face a little bad, and hurriedly went over to help her ask with concern. Unexpectedly, after her brows wrinkled, she actually retched "wow". This finally attracted the attention of several elderly people, who asked what was wrong.

Jiang Feng's wife turned slightly red, and said to everyone in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law...... It seems like...... I'm pregnant again......"

At this moment, the sorrow was finally completely dispelled, and Uncle Jiang ordered repeatedly: "Go and ask the doctor to come over, Feng'er, quickly help your daughter-in-law back to the room." It's cold and dewy, don't get cold...... Ah...... Okay, okay, our Jiangfu is a real person, and Ding is thriving......". While chattering like this, the stars surrounded Jiang Feng's daughter-in-law in the middle like the moon, and the family returned home lively and joyful......

……

On the eighth day of November, Jingshijiang Mansion, in the back garden.

Coincidentally, today happens to be another day off in the first half of the year. Jiang Zhixuan invited his father-in-law, Li Rusong, to drink and play chess in the newly completed Jiang Mansion. This husband and son-in-law are like-minded, and their hobbies are very similar. They all like to drink wine and talk with their hands. Originally, Jiang Zhixuan also invited Li Qin, but Li Daguan was busy making beautiful eyebrows, and replied to Jiang Zhixuan very simply:

"Not available!"

The Jiangfu of the Jingshi has been completely renovated, and from the outside, the red walls and green tiles, the middle of the two round and thick eaves columns, the gate and the side doors are black and shiny. Jiang Zhixuan's rank is too low, and he has a lot of scruples among this Beijing master, so there are no stone lions or other ornaments at the door, so as not to be true.

The decorative colors of the front yard and the main hall are mostly black and white. Jiang Zhixuan is now an official of the imperial court, and there will always be contacts between colleagues. If the main hall in the front yard is too decorated, it will inevitably attract people's attention. From the back wall of the front yard, it is mostly red and white, and the corridors on both sides have been rebuilt, and many vines have been planted next to each pillar. At this time, it is almost winter, and I can't see the effect. But once the following spring and summer comes, the green and crisp vines climb the top of the cloister, and it is very pleasant.

The pond has also been re-cleaned and a lot of silt has been dug up. Replanted some evergreen aquatic plants in all seasons, and picked out too many lotus seeds and lotus roots, Jiang Zhixuan picked some for his father-in-law to send, and left some for himself. Let Xiaoshun sell the extra money in the market, and even get more than ten yuan......

The bedroom of the husband and wife, Jiang Zhixuan did not arrange it randomly. It's just that the doors, windows and walls are decorated in the style of Huayin Jiangfu, which is the base of his beloved wife. How to arrange it is still up to the beloved wife to have the final say. It is better to wait for the beloved wife to come according to her own thoughts, and not to overdo it at that time.

In the backyard, where the most effort was spent, the lawn didn't move much. The main thing is that the previous grass house was rebuilt, the flowers and plants in the garden were trimmed, and some small favorite flowers and trees were added; In addition, the gazebo was renovated and a stool and table were set up in the middle. At this time, Weng and his son-in-law were drinking and playing chess in this pavilion.

"Xuan'er, it's November in a blink of an eye, and there are still two or three months left, and the imperial army will go out to fight the mountain bureaucrats. These days, has Your Majesty received a battle report from the southwest?" Li Rusong asked casually while falling.

"Yes, every two days, Grandpa Duan will send a recital to His Majesty, reporting in detail the situation of the battle and the movements of the mountain wings in the two days. The day before yesterday, His Majesty received a report and made up his mind to conquer the mountain officials. Zuo Xiaowei fought more heroically with the southwest border army, and the people also supported the imperial court, dragging their families and families to a safe place, and the walls were cleared. Last month, the mountain bureaucrats plundered eighteen times, but there was not much gain, it is conceivable that the life of the mountain bureaucrats is getting more and more difficult...... "Jiang Zhixuan naturally knows everything, he lacks experience as an official, so he often consults his father-in-law's opinions, and he has benefited a lot from it."

"But it's going to get more and more crazy......" Li Rusong sighed lightly. The mountain officials now have nearly 100,000 soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers. The Southwest Frontier Army and Zuo Xiaowei, the pressure will be increasing. And judging from the news you have revealed these days, it always feels a little wrong for my father, and the mountain bureaucrats seem to know very well about the movements of our court, and once the imperial court promulgates any decree against the mountain officials, the mountain officials can often react before the decree is implemented. For example, in the middle of last month, the imperial court ordered the four counties of Bazhou to clear the walls, but as soon as this decree was conveyed to Bazhou, the county orders were not yet deployed, and the four counties of Bazhou were looted by the mountain officials......"

Jiang Zhixuan's sword frowned, and he asked with a serious hesitation, "Father-in-law...... This is ...... What does it mean?"

Li Rusong shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just some worries for my father, I hope it's because of my father's heart......"

Seeing that his father-in-law refused to speak, Jiang Zhixuan was not easy to force. These state events in the court cannot be guessed. There must be real evidence before he can speak, otherwise it is a hypothesis, which is the way Li Shimin hates things the most.

However, looking at the appearance of his father-in-law, Jiang Zhixuan faintly beat a drum in his heart. There is one thing that he has not told anyone until now, and that is that His Majesty sent him to serve as a supervisor of the army and accompany the army to conquer the mountain officials. Now that there are still two or three months to come, he couldn't hold it back after all, took a sip of wine, took a breath, and ate a few chopsticks and side dishes, then hesitated and said:

"Father-in-law, there is something that the son-in-law has never mentioned to you, and since I happened to talk about the mountain officials today, I will say it and ask the father-in-law to refer to the details for the son-in-law!"

Li Rusong glanced at him strangely: "Xuan'er, when will you learn to hide words, what's the matter?"

"Last month, on the day of the first day of the new year, after the next dynasty, His Majesty summoned the little son-in-law alone......"

Li Rusong knew about this, so he also knew that his son-in-law would definitely not just talk about it. didn't make a sound at the moment, quietly waited for the following:

His Majesty encouraged his son-in-law, and greeted Xiaoxiao and Hutou, and finally ...... His Majesty wants his son-in-law to serve as the supervisor of the army, and he will go with the army to the mountains......"

"What" Rao is as calm as Li Rusong, and he couldn't help but stand up in surprise when he heard this: "Xuan'er, this is true." In addition to the surprise on his face, there was also joy that could not be concealed!

Jiang Zhixuan nodded: "How dare the little son-in-law make such a, father-in-law, what are you ......?"

Li Rusong laughed a few times, then sat down and patted Jiang Zhixuan on the shoulder:

"Xuan'er, Your Majesty is going to reward you with a great merit...... The imperial court has been preparing for nearly a year for this expedition against the mountain officials, and it is a corner of the enemy in the whole country, and the victory is almost undoubted. You just entered the court, and you supervised the army to quell the rebellion, and your contribution is not small. With such qualifications, Your Majesty wants to reward you, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will have nothing to say......"

Jiang Zhixuan nodded secretly in his heart, in fact, he thought so himself, but he was a little uncertain, so he said it and wanted his father-in-law to refer to it for himself. Now that my father-in-law said the same, I think that's the case.

Who doesn't love Jiang Zhixuan when he is promoted and made a fortune is naturally no exception, but the only fly in the ointment is that if he goes out with the army, it will take at least half a year. That is, at least half a year without seeing the **** young son, this is the only thing that worries Jiang Zhixuan. Fortunately, my beloved wife is coming over soon, and there are still two or three months to go. During this period of time, let's accompany the **** young son......

As soon as I thought of the **** young son, a person flashed in at the door of the back garden. He was still holding a little guy like a pink carving in his arms, and when he entered the door, he saw two people in the gazebo. The little one tore open his throat and let out a childish cheer, giggling as he called:

"Wai Wen, Daddy ......"

Jiang Zhixuan was inexplicably surprised, and a glass of wine was sprinkled on the chessboard at once, causing Li Rusong to reproach repeatedly: "They are all officials of the imperial court, can't they be calm......

Jiang Zhixuan still had the heart to pay attention to his father-in-law's reproach, put the wine glass on the table, stood up and began to trot all the way, and soon came to Li Qin at the door, stretched out his hands and patted it gently:

"Tiger head, why did you come to your mother?"

After all, blood is thicker than water, I haven't seen it for so long, the tiger head still stretched out his chubby little hand very face, leaned forward and leaned towards Jiang Zhixuan. Jiang Zhixuan's mouth was as grinning as a lotus, and he shouted twice, "Good son"! He took the tiger head from Li Qin's hand.

The tiger's hands wrapped around his father's neck, and his little face rubbed against his father's face. Jiang Zhixuan laughed and rubbed the tiger's head a few times, feeling that his son's little face was a little cold, and hurriedly tightened his son's collar, and then repeated the question just now:

"Tiger head, did your mother come with you?"

Tiger Head withdrew a small hand from Daddy's neck, stretched out a little finger and pointed out the door:

"Mother...... At...... Uncle...... Family...... Call Daddy...... Go......! ”

Jiang Zhixuan was so anxious that he couldn't bear to interrupt his son's speech. After waiting for the tiger head to finish speaking, Jiang Zhixuan smiled and pinched the tiger head's nose, and then turned to Li Qin:

"Zihua, why did you come here, is it your sister who came to Beijing?"

Li Qin smiled and nodded:

"Yes, I didn't find anyone in the house, and just as I was about to go out, I came to you with a tiger head and a message to you. The younger brother was in a hurry to meet the beauty, so he lost his company first. Brother-in-law, you and your father, let's go back quickly. The old lady seems to have moved the entire Jiangfu in Huayin, and it is full of several large carriages......"

After speaking, he hurriedly saluted Li Rusong, and then ran away without looking back. I don't know if I'm worried that I'm running late and being caught by my sister as a porter. Jiang Zhixuan heard that his beloved wife had never sent a letter to him, and suddenly he arrived in Beijing. With joy in his heart, he quickly turned around and said hello to his father-in-law, and then ran away with his son in his arms............
