Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 182 Leaving the Capital
The turmoil in the capital lasted for nearly a month before subsiding. When the turmoil was the worst, the city was lifted for three days in a row. Later, the city gates were closed one after another. They were only allowed to enter and not to exit several times to prevent some of the eldest prince's henchmen from escaping.

During the period, most of the common people didn't go out very much if they didn't have to. The streets were very deserted, but now the bustling scene has finally resumed, and Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu quickly got the shop ready and prepared to go home.

It's already spring now, which is much later than the day they expected to go home.

It’s not easy to come to the capital. When I go back, I have to sell some local specialties and go back to the village and towns and counties as souvenirs. The couple have been shopping in the capital for several days. Nice trinkets, small ornaments, or more exquisitely crafted silver hairpins, Buyao, Zhuchai, etc. I bought a lot of them to give to Jinshu Jinyu and Zhou Xier, the sister-in-laws of Lizheng's family.

There are also dried and preserved fruits that can be stored for a longer time, candy, and some fabrics that cannot be bought in Furong County. I also bought some fabrics that are too expensive. I am afraid that the villagers will not accept it. The ones that are specially selected are not low in value, but they don’t look too extravagant, and they are durable. Buy less of the finer ones, and give them to the women in the village to repair a sachet. , It's also good to make a handkerchief.

There are also drinks for Li Zheng, Zhou Xier's husband Li Dazhuang, Uncle Hong and the others, and even the helpers in the workshop. Every village woman bought an inexpensive but well-made wooden hairpin, and bought dozens of them in batches. If you add up different styles, you can also give some discounts.

I also bought other odds and ends, and I also bought a lot of things that I don’t know if I can use them. Anyway, how should I put it, it’s not bad for money, just buy it for fun!
On the way to buy these special products, there was a small episode. The two accidentally ran into the last time they met in Baihuayuan, and had some quarrels. children.

At first glance, it seems that the lineup is still the same as before, but upon closer inspection, it is clear that Meng Lingyao, who is not so high in presence, is missing, but does not feel very good.

Luo Jinxiu suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned before that Shaoqing of Dali Temple was sent down because he was a member of the eldest prince's lineage. Meng Lingyao, as the son of Shaoqing, was naturally also affected. She didn't quite remember that Shaoqing of Dali Temple was just sent down Dismissed, or thrown into jail?Or exiled?In short, in order not to be implicated, it is only natural for Du Hongzhao and others to put aside their relationship with Meng Lingyao.

Surprisingly, but as expected, it was these people who saw them from a distance and actively avoided them with a look of fear on their faces.

Maybe it was because she slapped her too hard last time, which left a psychological shadow, and she didn't want to come up and slap her a second time?Or maybe it was because he thought that the prince was close to them, and that if he opposed them, the prince would miss him.

Regarding the matter of the eldest prince, those who have relations with the court can see the strength of the prince. The crown prince usually does not show any signs of leakage, but it is very frightening if he is really ruthless. Without the eldest prince, no matter what No one can threaten his status, and who would dare to offend those whom the prince has befriended?

After Luo Jinxiu figured it out, she just shook her head when she thought it was funny, and didn't care about the attitudes of these people who had nothing to do with them at all.

The people in the Duke's Mansion were reluctant to let them leave, but they knew it was not easy to stop them, so they prepared a lot of things for them to take back. Some of them were asked to take back as gifts, but most of them were for the couple to use themselves. There are everything you need for drinking, clothing, and use, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't get out.

Knowing that Luo Jinxiu was definitely not short of money, the elders also stuffed them with a lot of banknotes, and the couple were very moved by their intentions.

In addition to the elders of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Qinghe also sent them a load of gifts. The most surprising thing was the crown prince. He had been busy fighting with the eldest prince some time ago. After he recovered, he hardly had time to see them. This time, he also left with them I invited them to talk about it before, and again, it was a bunch of farewell gifts, and the gifts were far more precious than others.

This is not surprising, the people in the Duke's Mansion give a lot of value, but generally speaking, they mainly focus on what they can use. The prince's, it can be clearly seen that they are saving their wealth for them, and they all need to be put away. There are dozens of precious treasures in the warehouse, all kinds of sapphires and rubies, top-quality suet white jade, and other priceless things.

Although the box was not as big as Shen Qinghe's, the value was at least ten or twenty times higher.

It is estimated that it should also include the consultation fee for his physical treatment, right?

"Father has been busy with a lot of things recently, you are in a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you in person." Bei Chenhui didn't deliberately put on airs as a prince in front of them, on the contrary, he talked with a sincere apology.

Luo Jinxiu shook her head and said: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, it's normal if he doesn't have time to see us, it's okay."

The old Duke also mentioned that most of the eldest prince and his henchmen in the capital should be dealt with, but the hidden manpower that the eldest prince secretly cultivated in other places but did not have time to use, and distributed in other parts of Yunshui country The handling of local officials related to the eldest prince will require the emperor to be busy for a while.

"Although father cannot see you, father will never forget the great use and contribution of the things you brought out to Yunshui Kingdom. Therefore, regarding the rewards you mentioned earlier, I will tell father, When there is a result, we will send someone directly to Furong County to notify."

"Then please trouble the prince."

Afterwards, the crown prince chatted with them again. He didn't mention anything about the eldest prince, but only talked about their journey to the capital, or regret that they would personally show them the scenery of the capital, but failed to fulfill the promise, etc. .

Luo Jinxiu said with a smile: "This time the situation is special, Your Highness don't need to worry about it too much, maybe next time His Highness can come to Furong County if you have time, and then we will take you to visit the rural scenery, which is also a beautiful thing. "

Bei Chenhui's eyes brightened, "It's a good idea! I really intend to visit the people. Father also said that only by seeing the people's living conditions can we understand their needs, and then understand the difficulties of the people's lives. Only in the future can I become a more qualified emperor."

Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu didn't make any comments on this, and it's not easy for ordinary people like them to talk nonsense about such things.

……

"When you go back, don't forget to send us regular letters to let us know about your recent situation, otherwise we won't be able to visit you, and we don't know what problems you have encountered." Mrs. Xu took Luo Jinxiu's hand Exhorted carefully.

Mrs. Shizi also said: "Tell us as soon as you encounter any troubles. Don't be angry. You have Cheng Yao from the Duke's Mansion, and no one can bully you!"

Yan Jingshu even looked at Luo Jinxiu reluctantly, and the little girl's eyes were red.

After getting along for a few months, she likes this cousin very much. Now that the cousin is leaving, no one can talk to her. The next time we meet, maybe she is already married, and she will become someone else's family just like the eldest sister. , and it is impossible to go back to the government every day, and the time spent together will also be reduced.

"We're leaving soon, don't you just show me a crying face?" Luo Jinxiu said goodbye to several female elders, pinched Yan Jingshu's nose in a funny way and said, "If you really miss me, It’s not convenient for the elders to travel far, so you can come and find us, the food and drink in Shangxi Village may not be as good as the Duke’s Mansion, but it’s fresh, and you should still be able to find a lot of interesting places.”

Yan Jingshu's spirit was shaken, and she pulled her sleeves in surprise, "Can I really go and play with you?" She said, looking expectantly at her mother for advice.

The third lady pinched her face and snorted, "Since your cousin and sister-in-law have invited you, you just want to go there for a while." If it wasn't for her being middle-aged, the Duke's Mansion also has a lot of things to help The sister-in-law has to deal with it, as well as her own private property. She also wants to go out for a walk without any burden!
"Great! Cousin, then you must treat me well!" Yan Jingshu swept away the previous listlessness and reluctance, her face was full of joy, as if she was going to go with them now.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" Other male elders and peers of the Duke's Mansion who were talking to Yun Jinghao on the other side came over and looked at the inexplicably excited Yan Jingshu in amazement. Shaking her head, she is still a little girl, so uncertain.

But they didn't say anything against it. Before they get married, it's good to go out for a walk to broaden their horizons.

In the end, Luo Jinxiu thanked Lao Guogong again, the latter's eyes flashed, and he hummed: "I don't want to thank you for no reason."

Luo Jinxiu just blinked, smiled and said nothing.

She had already heard Mrs. Xu secretly tell her that among the ironclad evidence of the downfall of the First Prince and Concubine Li, there was also a force from their Duke's House. Even when dealing with the First Prince, the Emperor hesitated whether to let the First Prince The prince went to guard the imperial mausoleum, but the imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital, so it is hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the next few years. It was also the words of the old Duke that made the emperor change his mind.

And the main reason why the old Guo Gong paid for this idea was nothing more than to let Concubine Li find the trouble of "Splendid Fate" back then.

Who made the people in the Duke's Mansion naturally protect their weaknesses?My family has been bullied, no matter how high the other party's status is, if there is a chance to get revenge, I must not let it go!

The old Duke looked quite uncomfortable under Luo Jinxiu's and even Yun Jinghao's knowing expressions, pretending to wave his hands impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, since we've said goodbye, don't Slow down, hurry up and go, if you drag on, the gates of the city should be closed later.”

When everyone in the surrounding Duke's Mansion heard this, they all smiled knowingly.
