After ten days in a row, the team returning to Beijing arrived in Fengyang from Yingtian.

Passing through other prefectures and counties along the way, the prince did not enter the city and set up camp, but stayed at the post station and accepted the worship of the magistrate.

But Fengyang is different, this is the ancestral land of the old Zhu family, and the descendants of the Zhu family pass by and want to enter the city to pay respects.

As early as half a month ago, Fengyang Palace was cleaned up, and everything was arranged after entering the city.

The civil and military officials of the entire Jiangbei Province all who could come came, and more than 200 people waited outside Fengyang City to welcome the arrival of the crown prince Zhu Jingyuan.

Regardless of whether the status is stable or not, at least now that Zhu Jingyuan is the prince, how can these local officials not come.

The opportunity to meet the crown prince is a rare opportunity for most of them in this life.

After the welcoming ceremony, these officials all entered the city with Zhu Jingyuan, and then they will officially worship in the main hall of the palace.

In other words, all of Zhu Jingyuan's time in the afternoon will be occupied by these officials.

Of course, there are some who come to Zhu Jinghong for politeness, but in the end, Zhu Jingyuan is the protagonist.

"Thirteenth Master, the dormitory has been taken care of, according to your wishes...... Separated from the prince by a palace wall! Deng An was full of joy to invite credit.

"Fart, obviously you mean it, as if I don't want to live with the prince!" Zhu Jinghong didn't have a good airway.

"Minions are talking nonsense, minions are talking nonsense!"

Deng An pleaded guilty again and again, and even began to slap his mouth, which made Zhu Jinghong embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, who to see, take me over to see!"

"Yes...... Thirteen masters, please! ”

Compared with Yingtian, the Fengyang Palace is a little smaller, but it is still an extraordinary building.

Turning around at random, Zhu Jinghong was feeling bored, Deng An looked at the right time and said, "Thirteenth master, why don't you go and call Miss Yinglian back?" ”

If there is a woman talking together, the time is undoubtedly much better, after all, men and women are not tired of working together!

is a dignified prince, and there is no palace maid around him, so he has to rely on himself to find it privately, and Zhu Jinghong is very aggrieved every time he thinks of it.

"Forget it, they'll be back in a while!"

Every day at noon, Yinglian will come back to serve Zhu Jinghong for dinner.

Through these days of study, Yinglian's knowledge has really improved a lot, and she has a feeling of chewing words when she speaks.

When Zhu Jinghong was bored, everyone in the Xue family also entered the city, but they were still worried about their residence.

Although there are many inns in the city, how could the mother and daughter of the Xue family be willing to squeeze together with the business travelers, so they had to find a clean and spacious place to live.

Such "high-end" places are really limited, and they are occupied by a large number of foreign officials, causing them to enter the city for more than an hour, but they have not even found a place to live.

A group of house slaves have no opinions, and they have to consult Aunt Xue for everything, which leads to extremely low efficiency.

It was almost noon, Xue Baochai was still discussing knowledge with Yinglian, but he was obviously absent-minded.

"Miss Bao, you haven't found a good place to live yet, why don't you ask the Thirteenth Master to think of a way?" Seeing Baochai's worries, Yinglian gave a solution.

Xue Baochai smiled, straightened the green silk between Yinglian's temples, and said: "Such a trivial matter, why bother the Thirteenth Master, we can solve it!" ”

"Oh...... Then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you in the afternoon! ”

Baochai nodded and said, "In the palace for the past two days, it is not very convenient to enter and exit, so let's wait for the departure!" ”

"That's it, then I'll come back in a few days!"

"Go ahead!"

Yinglian left, Xue Baochai suddenly looked sad, how could she not be worried if she couldn't find a place to live.

At this time, I only heard someone outside shouting: "But the Xue family in Jinling is here?" ”

Could it be that there are any other acquaintances here?

Sitting in the carriage, Xue Baochai asked, "Ying'er, who is shouting outside?" ”

"I don't know, my wife has ordered someone to ask!"

After a while, the servants of the Xue family returned, and led a man on horseback over.

"Mrs. Qiyu, Uncle Zhen of the Zhen family in Tongzhou is here to worship!"

As an imperial businessman, the Xue family has been dealing with foreigners all year round, and naturally has a lot of dealings with the Zhen family who raised the city's shipping division.

In the past twenty or thirty years, the two of them have had a close relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are world friends.

Zhen Qi is Zhen Mingcheng's eldest son, and this time he also brought his sister to Beijing, but he also came to Fengyang today by coincidence.

"Nephew Zhen Qi, meet your aunt!"

In the carriage, Aunt Xue raised the curtain slightly, and when she saw that it was really the boss of the Zhen family, she spoke: "It turned out to be a virtuous nephew, why did you also arrive in Fengyang?" ”

Zhen Qi replied: "The concubine of the capital is called, and my father ordered me to take my sister to the capital to meet her!" ”

"What a coincidence, we're on the way!"

"Aunt is also going to Duzhong?"

"That's right, there are some things to deal with in Beijing, and it has been delayed for a year or two!" Aunt Xue replied, but she didn't say what she would do in the capital.

"Why don't you see Brother Pan?" Zhen Qi was very curious.

"He's busy, he'll be here in a few days!"

Zhen Qi asked again: "Aunt has just arrived in Fengyang, has she already found a place to live?" ”

"I'm looking for it, although this Fengyang City is big, it's not easy to find!"

Zhen Qi smiled: "I haven't found it, why don't you and I live together and take care of each other?" ”

"Have you found a place to stay?" Aunt Xue's tone was filled with joy.

Zhen Qi looked embarrassed: "I haven't found it yet, my nephew is planning to take someone to find it!" ”

Aunt Xue said calmly: "I see, it's not easy to find in the city now, you have to work hard!" ”

"My nephew will go now, so I will let my sister stay here temporarily, and I hope that my aunt will take care of it on my behalf!"

Aunt Xue sighed with emotion: "It's a piano girl, right?" I haven't seen each other for years, and now I don't recognize it! ”

Zhen Qi beckoned back, and a carriage was brought over, and the girl from the Zhen family was sitting inside.

This time in Beijing, the Zhen family also came to more than a dozen cars, and there were forty or fifty servants and maids, who gathered together with the Xue family at this moment, and directly surrounded a piece of the city wall.

"Second sister, come and meet Aunt Xue!"

Under the guidance of Zhen Qi, a girl with a veil was helped out of the carriage by the maid, and then came outside Aunt Xue's car.

If Zhu Jinghong can definitely recognize it, this is the girl of the Zhen family who wants to bribe her with gold and silver in her official position to escort her home.

"Meet Aunt Xue!"

Aunt Xue lifted the curtain again and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, niece Xian doesn't have to be polite, go back to the car quickly......"

Zhen Qin returned to the carriage and, under the guidance of the servants of the Xue family, parked side by side with the carriage that Baochai was riding.

After settling down with his sister, Zhen Qi took his relatives and left, so that things could be done conveniently and quickly.

The last time the Japanese invaded, he lost his sister, and he searched for a few days day and night, and the whole person almost went crazy.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, Zhen Qin was rescued by the official army and sent to Yixing, found an acquaintance and sent a message to Zhen Ji, and he led the house slave to take the person back.

Zhen Qin is an idle person, and when she heard the conversation between Baochai and Ying'er, she finally couldn't help but speak: "You are Baochai?" ”

The two of them were in their own carriages, and at this moment Zhen Qin was talking through two curtains.

Baochai was wondering, Zhen Qin continued: "I heard my mother mention you!" ”
