Chapter 111: Yunzhou

After this thorough inspection, the Provincial Relatives Court determined that there was nothing wrong, and Jia Zhengcai wrote to report to the emperor.

Although it was ordered to build a provincial hospital, the people in Jia Mansion were still a little worried before the news came down, for fear that something would happen. Fortunately, there was no delay in the palace this time, and on the day of the book, it was approved by Zhu: on the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year, Concubine Jia was allowed to save her relatives.

This matter is completely settled, and everyone in Jiafu is rejoicing, doing things more energetically, and everyone is beaming, just waiting for the arrival of the Lantern Festival in the coming year.

Jiang Yan is preparing to find a chance to go on a long trip, Xie Jingxing has been to Yunzhou for almost a year, she said she was going to go before, but now it's winter, and if she doesn't go, it will be next year. Her family leave this year has not been used, but Jiafu is now busy cleaning, all kinds of decorative curtains have to be replaced, the maids have also been sent to work, busy making all kinds of silk ribbons, she can't get out of her body for a while, it's easy for Jiafu things to come to an end, it's already November, Jiang Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that the temperature would become colder, she couldn't stand it, so she immediately asked for leave from the attacker and went to Yunzhou. Because it was inconvenient for her to write a letter, she didn't inform Xie Jingxing in advance, but she had already received Xie Jingxing's address in Yunzhou and went straight to it.

Jiang Yan was entangled when preparing gifts before leaving, saying that she didn't have time to knit sweaters again because of all kinds of busyness this winter, and there seemed to be nothing to do, Jiang Yan thought that Xie Jingxing was far away from the capital and would always miss the things of his hometown, so she deliberately went to various shops and restaurants in Beijing before leaving, bought all kinds of specialties in Beijing, and prepared to bring them to him when the time came. By the way, I also brought a few sweet potatoes over, which is a rarity.

This sweet potato was planted by her last year, because there was only one seedling, and there were more than a dozen in the autumn, most of which were eaten by her, leaving only a few big seeds.

Jiang Yan arrived in Yunzhou at noon, which was already the hottest time of the day, but she was still shivering from the cold. She was ready to wear a leather jacket, but she still underestimated the weather in the north. It's good that there is a protective cover on the way here, but the wind blows and shivers as soon as the ground blows, Jiang Yan can't care about going to Xie Jingxing, so she rushed to the nearest ready-to-wear store to buy a big thick fur cloak first, and buried the whole person in it to feel better, Jiang Yan was afraid of the cold weather, and she didn't dare to go outside more, so she went directly to Xie's house.

Xie Cheng spent most of his time in the border camp, but there was his government in the city. But Yunzhou is poor, and the government is also in tatters, and it is still small. There were many people who came with him, and the government couldn't live at all, so he simply bought a three-entry house in the city and repaired it again. Jiang Yan came over when he was resting, and he was not worried about finding someone.

Jiang Yan looked for the address given by Xie Jingxing, and after entering a street, she soon saw a renovated house that was completely different from the gray houses around her. In front of the gate, there were two strong men with evil faces standing on the left and right, and they didn't look like ordinary menzi at first glance. She just confirmed the address and looked at the door for a while, and then she sensed that someone was staring at her.

Jiang Yan knew that it was the two people at the door, so she didn't care, and stepped forward to lower her voice and said: "Under Jiang Yan, he and Lord Xie are old acquaintances, he just came from the capital, and he came to visit him today, I don't know if Lord Xie is at home?" ”

The two men were originally standing at the gate with a straight face, and they were stunned for a moment until someone came to report their names, which seemed to be somewhat familiar. Both of them retired from the Yunzhou battalion due to injuries and illnesses, and Lord Meng Xie did not abandon himself as a guard in his mansion, and was responsible for guarding the gate on weekdays, they were grateful to Xie Jingxing for his help, and they had been very conscientious about this work, keeping in mind who should be blocked out of the door and who should be directly welcomed into the door. The two of them quickly went through the names on each list in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces immediately changed, and this capital Jiang Yan was in the list that greeted the door directly without notification.

A big man hurriedly ran in to inform Master Xie, and the other person put on a smiling face and said, "It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi!" Come with me, we have been looking forward to your coming. ”

Jiang Yan followed him inside, looking at Xie Jingxing's foothold in Yunzhou as she walked. At this time, it was already very cold in Beijing, and Yunzhou further north was even more to the point of dripping water into ice. There was no view in the yard, but there was a thick layer of snow, and the road had been swept away, so it didn't make it difficult to walk. There are a few trees planted on either side, and the leaves have all been lost, except for the occasional snow or two left on the brown branches to add a little color. The courtyard is very refreshing, but it is very inconsistent with Xie Jingxing, who Jiang Yan knows who loves to enjoy good scenery, and I don't know what he has experienced this year, even his aesthetics have changed.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Xie Jingxing had already received the news and came out, and when she saw Jiang Yan, who was wrapped in a cloak and only showed half of her face, she couldn't help laughing, strode to her side, and said with a smile: "You're finally here!" ”

He waved his hand to let the two guards retreat, Jiang Yan saw that the people were gone, and he didn't care about pretending to be Sven anymore, so he pulled Xie Jingxing and ran into the lobby, saying as he walked: "This weather is really choking!" I almost got frozen stupid when I first got here, there's a brazier in the house, right? I heard that it's all burning kang here, so quickly let me go and warm up. ”

Xie Jingxing was dragged by her all the way into the lobby before saying, "Of course there is!" There is a kang in every room here, and there is a fire dragon under the hall, otherwise I couldn't stand it when I first came. But after half a year, I got used to the weather. ”

As soon as Jiang Yan entered the house, she felt a burst of heating surging from the bottom to the top, and suddenly the whole person was relieved, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and felt that the whole person was alive. When her body warmed up, she took off her cloak, and then she remembered the burden she had brought with her, and hurriedly opened it, "My sweet potatoes, apples, and citrus don't freeze." He said as he put something outside.

Xie Jingxing knew the latter kind, he looked at the table that was quickly filled, and said strangely: "What is a sweet potato?" This one? He picked up a fruit with a red spindle-shaped skin.

Jiang Yan said: "That's it, I brought it back from Hangzhou last year, it's delicious to eat baked, and it's okay to cook porridge and make snacks, but it's a pity that I planted less last year, but this year it's finally more, so I'll bring it to you, it's a taste." ”
