Chapter 36: Entering Beijing

Previous Chapter

Quietly leaving the kitchen, Jiang Yuanyuan returned to the room and cleaned up some clothes, the things here in Liangzhou have been placed, and there is no need to worry about anything to stop him, just wait for the day after tomorrow to explain the matter and then you can set off.

The next morning, I got up early and explained the next thing to the shopkeeper Wang, Jiang Yuanyuan went to talk to Jiang Qian and her husband again, wrote a letter to Jiang Xuan, and then hugged Bai Xue and got into the car to the capital.

Boredom holding her chin and looking at the surrounding scenery, Jiang Yuanyuan was slightly shaken.

Walking slowly on the road, thinking about the sake of children, they also stopped to rest halfway, because of the delay of the journey, when they arrived, a month had passed, Jiang Yuanyuan had the location of Sheng Rong's mansion, and after entering Beijing, he ran directly to the past, Sheng Rong had mansions in the palace and outside the palace, and the mansion outside the palace was also making trouble, and when he opened the door, it was a lively street, Jiang Yuanyuan asked the little girl to stop, and he led Bai Xue to knock on the door.

"You are?" The door soon opened, and a middle-aged man in plain clothes came to open the door, and when he saw the people outside, he asked suspiciously.

Jiang Yuanyuan took out a small jade pendant that Sheng Rong gave her, and replied softly: "I'm here to find Sheng Rong." ”

The middle-aged man took the jade pendant and looked at it, hurriedly presented the jade pendant with both hands, opened the door and stretched out his hand to invite, "The master is not at home now, and he will come back later, this lady, please go to the inner hall and wait first, and take me to find someone to report." ”

"Thank you." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, led Bai Xue and walked in, the middle-aged man called someone to come and take the carriage to the back door, closed the door and hurriedly followed.

Jiang Yuanyuan followed to the lobby, and the middle-aged man offered melons and fruits and some tea, "Madame is here to rest for a while, my surname is Lin, and I am the housekeeper of the mansion. ”

"I'm tired." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, sat down with Bai Xue in her arms, and glanced at the surrounding placements, a little nervous and a little defensive.

"Jingle bell!" Bai Xue jumped down from Jiang Yuanyuan's body, the bell on her body jingled, Jiang Yuanyuan looked intently, and saw Bai Xue come to the table on the side, stretching out her little hand to take the pastry on it, but the height was not enough, just a little bit worse, but she just couldn't hold it, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, and the water in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

"Gluttony." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and took a piece of pastry for Bai Xue and put it in her hand, Bai Xue blinked, quickly retracted her expression of wanting to cry, took a bite of the pastry, ate a mouth full of dregs, and smiled happily.

"Do you want an aunt to hug you?" Jiang Yuanyuan clapped her hands and asked, Bai Xue tilted her head as if thinking for a while, then nodded and raised her hand to hug it.

"Don't get it on you." Jiang Yuanyuan said, she patted the scum on Bai Xue's body.

Bai Xue didn't know if she heard it, so she ate three or two bites of the pastry, her small mouth bulging and stuffed full, like a little hamster.

After sitting and waiting for an hour, Jiang Yuanyuan was a little bored, Bai Xue was entertaining herself and playing with herself, laughing for a while, clapping her hands for a while, and she didn't know what she was doing, Jiang Yuanyuan rubbed her temples, and wanted to stand up and move her soft body, but she was a little embarrassed.

"Yuanyuan?" Sheng Rong's figure finally appeared in front of him, he gasped, propped up the door, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"You're here." Jiang Yuanyuan complained, she stood up, but she felt that her feet were weak, and she almost fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry." Sheng Rong walked over quickly and hugged Jiang Yuanyuan, he exhaled a long breath, looked at Jiang Yuanyuan's face again, and hugged Jiang Yuanyuan again.

"You take a rest here these days, and I'll take you and Bai Xue to the capital to play after I go and straighten out the things at hand." Sheng Rong held Bai Xue in one hand and Jiang Yuanyuan's hand in the other, he looked sideways at Jiang Yuanyuan and said, his eyes flowed with indescribable tenderness, as if he wanted to drown people in this whirlpool.

"Don't panic." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, "Since I came to you, I am naturally fully prepared, and I will not leave, you can put things in order first." ”

"But I want to be with you." Sheng Rong squeezed Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, he naturally knew that Jiang Yuanyuan was willing to go out of Liangzhou and bring this side to find him, which showed that Jiang Yuanyuan had let go of the mustard in her heart and was willing to accept his meaning, how could this not make people happy, this news made him crazy with joy, and now he still feels as if he is in a dream, which is a little incredible.

"I've settled down the business in Liangzhou, and I'll be here with you these days." As if sensing Sheng Rong's uneasiness, Jiang Yuanyuan pinched Sheng Rong's finger in response, as if she was saying something to reassure him.

Sheng Rong smiled and let go of Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, and directly hugged Jiang Yuanyuan's shoulder, Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to dodge, and there was a housekeeper behind him, which was really inappropriate, but he couldn't resist Sheng Rong, so he had to rely on him and let him hold his shoulder.

Bai Xue smiled and moved a few times, her hands wrapped around Sheng Rong's neck, and her face stretched out from Sheng Rong's chest and smiled at Jiang Yuanyuan.

Laughing all the way to a courtyard, Sheng Rong took Jiang Yuanyuan to the master bedroom, and asked the housekeeper to put everything in, and then put down Bai Xue and let her go down to play by herself, "You will live here these days, the guest rooms are too simple, I will ask someone to clean up and then you will move, I will sleep in the study next to me, what can I tell the maid, this is Mama Zhang, she and these two are responsible for taking care of the two of you during this time." ”

"Well, if you have anything to do, you can get busy first, I'm familiar with it." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, Mama Zhang looked thirty or forty, combed a woman's head, and looked very kind, which kind of person made people feel good when she looked at it, as for these two girls, they looked about the same age as themselves, and they stood honestly and didn't say anything, these people gave Jiang Yuanyuan a very honest feeling.

"Miss, the slave is in charge of your daily life during this time." Mama Zhang smiled and bowed, "This is Chun'er, this is Qiu'er, they are two sisters, like the old slave, they are responsible for the girl's daily life during this time." ”

"I'm in trouble, Mama." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

Mama Zhang smiled even more happily, she could feel that the girl in front of her was a good temperament, and she liked it when she looked at it, she inspected the room, silently wrote down the things that needed to be added in her heart, and then asked Chun'er and Qiu'er to follow Jiang Yuanyuan.

"Miss is here to rest for a while, the old slave sees that the time is not early, and here I went to give the girl a meal." Mama Zhang said.

"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, she didn't want to stay in the house longer, and walked out after looking around, Bai Xue followed Jiang Yuanyuan step by step, there is a small lotus pond in this yard, a small pavilion, and the roadside leading to the pavilion is full of flower pots.

There is also a swing on the other side, facing the window, Bai Xue saw this swing shelf as soon as he entered the door, and now he saw it coming out, and hurriedly grabbed the hem of Jiang Yuanyuan's clothes, looking at Jiang Yuanyuan with watery eyes, expressing his desire.

"Little Miss, are you going to play on the swing rack?" Chun'er smiled on the side and said, "The slave will take you there." ”

Bai Xue understood what Chun'er meant, she grabbed the hem of Jiang Yuanyuan's clothes, her little hand dangled in her ear, Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, and Bai Xue hurriedly put her hand in Chun'er's palm.

"Her voice is hoarse, I hope you can take on more responsibilities" understood Chun'er and Qiu'er's momentary expression, Jiang Yuanyuan explained, Bai Xue didn't care when she listened, and took the initiative to hold her head high and point to her neck, and then clapped her hands with a smile.

"The slave knows!" Chun'er and Qiu'er talked together, Chun'er led Bai Xue to play on the swing rack, and Jiang Yuanyuan sat on the stone chair next to her.

"Would you like some hot tea?" Qiu'er asked on the side, "Mama took us to pick dew this morning, and there happened to be a new tribute tea these days, which is fresh." ”

"That's trouble. If you can, can you help me bring some words along the way? Jiang Yuanyuan thought for a moment, nodded and looked at Qiu'er expectantly.

"I don't know what kind of script the young lady likes, the slave maid asked someone to find it."

"It's all right, it's just a little boring to sit empty, and I want to find some time to play." Jiang Yuanyuan lowered her head and smiled, quite embarrassed.

"Okay, the slave will go down and find it for the young lady." Qiu'er glanced at Chun'er, who was pushing the swing shelf for the little lady next to her, and turned around and walked out to find a notebook and hot tea.

Sheng Rong hurried back to the meeting hall, a group of courtiers were still chattering and arguing, if it was on weekdays, he could still sit on it and listen to these parties while watching the twists and turns, but now his heart is full of Jiang Yuanyuan, and he has no heart to continue listening, looking at the piles of twists and turns on it, Sheng Rong's head twitched.

The great eunuch Fu Gonggong beside the emperor stood carefully beside Sheng Rong, this master just listened to the report of the guards and left these people non-stop, and ran back after a while, feeling that the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, Fu Gonggong didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Sheng Rong with a gloomy face and walked back to look at the mountains of chickens.

"Enough!" Sheng Rong slapped the table, and went down, the people below were quiet, Sheng Rong sat down, picked up a book and read it, "The money in Liangzhou will be allocated now, and the money at the border gate will also be allocated, there is nothing to say, there is no time to quarrel, why don't you hurry over and deal with these official duties." ”

"This ......," Mishi frowned in embarrassment.

"Lord, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, the various expenses of the concubines in the palace are not small, as well as the cost of the palace banquet, if these two sides are stripped down, the treasury will be in deficit, and there will be three months before the next batch of taxes can come up, this March ......" Hubu Shangshu said excitedly, their Hubu manages these finances, but the treasury is very empty, and there are too many places to use money, which is really not filled.
