When Yuchi Zhong saw his daughter coming, he thought that she already knew these things, so he did not hide them and continued to ask Jiang Hai curiously about the affairs of southern Xinjiang.
After the discussion just now, Yuchi Zhong had a general understanding of the new city's situation and felt a little relieved.
Judging from the information revealed by Jiang Hai, they do have the strength to compete with the Darong court.
My father-in-law only felt that he could compete, but he didn't have the concept of crushing her.
After understanding the situation, Yuchi Zhong stood up and prepared to return to the main house.
"My dear son-in-law, you have to be careful in your actions and go back to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible." The father-in-law gave him some advice before leaving.
"Okay, don't worry, Old Taishan, everything will be fine."
Jiang Hai walked him out of the yard.
After returning to the house and closing the door immediately, Jiang Hai habitually said,
"My lady, it's getting late..."
Yuchi Ziling was very upset and pulled him to the study room and asked,
"What did you say to Daddy just now?"
“Nothing much, just as expected earlier, Old Taishan is going to take up his post at Xile Mansion.
I told him about the situation in our new city and asked him to relax.
Things will proceed as I told you before. When he leaves for his new post, we will return. That’s about it.”
"Oh, alright then. We need to get ready. Do you want to take Shuang'er with you?"
"Take a look at what your family thinks these next couple of days and go ask them," Jiang Hai said.
Yuchi Ziling nodded and said okay.
The undercurrents in this capital city made the young lady feel that she was too naive before.
Who knows how many people will be affected by that, but fortunately her family can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing, and her father accidentally avoided the dispute.
…
Two days later.
Following Jiang Hai's instructions, Uncle Fu bought a house in the southernmost part of the city.
Cao Yuan and others moved to the new mansion and started digging in the big garden.
The scout, who had been enjoying himself for a while, was a little puzzled when he suddenly received this mission.
"Boss, why do we have to dig a tunnel?"
"Just dig it up, why are you talking so much nonsense? We've done this kind of thing many times before.
"What's the matter? Are you spoiled now?" Cao Yuan said disdainfully.
"Hey, how can that be possible?"
"Hurry up, the capital is about to change. The sooner we dig it, the better."
Cao Yuan said something and left.
There were more than a dozen people in the new residence, and about half of them were there. The rest had the task of monitoring Yang Hongye's movements.
The tools used were much better than those used by Darong now. More than a dozen people took turns working at the site, and the work was not slow.
After handing over the matters concerning the new house to Cao Yuan, Uncle Fu rode away on his horse and went to the general's residence to discuss the matter with Jiang Hai.
Arrived at the general's mansion.
Coincidentally, a eunuch from the palace was seen, his carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate, and he had just stepped into the general's mansion.
Uncle Fu waited outside and didn't go in to join in the fun.
In the mansion, Yuchi Zhong did not expect that someone would come from the palace at this time, and the visitor was the old emperor's personal attendant, Eunuch Lai.
Eunuch Lai congratulated with a happy face,
"The Emperor has specially sent us here to deliver the imperial edict, congratulating Lord Yuchi on being conferred the title of Earl of Xichuan County."
It was unexpected. How could he suddenly be granted a title? Yuchi Zhong didn't know what was going on.
Could it be that the old emperor felt guilty and wanted to compensate him? Yuchi Zhong took the book and took a look at it.
He was indeed granted the title of county earl, with a thousand acres of fertile land and a fief of seven hundred yuan.
Yuchi Zhong exchanged a few polite words with Eunuch Lai, but he was still confused and hadn't figured it out.
Eunuch Lai revealed it to him and raised his eyebrows.
"Master Yuchi, this is what the Sixth Prince fought for for you."
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, eunuch."
Yuchi Zhong thanked him, but he didn't expect that Yang Hongjin couldn't stand the old emperor's stinginess and actually helped him to ask for a title.
Jiang Hai was also watching the fun from the side. The Sixth Prince's action won him a wave of goodwill. This guy is indeed okay.
This great honor of honor was not as troublesome as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and did not require any ritual kneeling or prostrations. It was more like sending a notice, which was more humane.
Seeing that Eunuch Lai was still standing there with a smile on his face, Jiang Hai realized that his father-in-law was not very good at dealing with people.
He walked up naturally and Jiang Hai casually stuffed some gold leaves into the bag while paying his respects.
Eunuch Lai's smile blossomed like a flower, and following Yuchi Zhong's invitation, he went into the main hall to drink tea.
Seeing Uncle Fu waiting outside, Ding Shang came in and said something to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai nodded and came out with Ding Shang.
Uncle Fu came forward and told Jiang Hai about the new house.
"Master, the house has been arranged, and Cao Yuan and his family have already moved in."
Jiang Hai asked about the situation of the house.
The house is quite big, about the same size as Jiang's house, only slightly smaller than the general's mansion.
It can accommodate many people, Jiang Hai thought about it and said,
"I'll have someone here go over soon. You can arrange accommodation for the reception. Cao Yuan knows what's going on. Just follow him."
"Okay, young master." Uncle Fu asked, "What about the Jiang residence...?"
"The Jiang residence can be left empty for now. If something happens, you can go with Cao Yuan first." Jiang Hai said.
Uncle Fu agreed and went back to Jiang's house first.
According to Jiang Hai's idea, those servants in Jiang's house who had indentures could be set free.
The house is temporarily idle. Uncle Fu and several old servants in the house came to the south of the city and will see how the situation develops later.
After explaining the matter, Jiang Hai turned around and returned to the mansion. At this time, Eunuch Lai was also preparing to leave.
After Jiang Hai came back, he heard from his father-in-law that Eunuch Lai had brought him a message.
Yuchi Zhong will have to leave the capital in three days and go to Xile Prefecture to take up his post.
When Jiang Hai heard about this, he told everyone that the new house had been arranged and planned to have everyone in the mansion move in within the next two days.
"Okay, let's start moving tomorrow and finish it before I leave." Yuchi Zhong nodded.
"That's the only way." Su Hui followed with some reluctance.
After all, I have lived here for many years and never thought I would have to move away under such circumstances.
After discussing the matter, they went back to pack their things.
Yuchi Ziling walked towards her yard with Jiang Hai, feeling somewhat lost, and said as she walked,
"I've lived here for more than ten years."
"I know that parting is always hard to bear. Every flower and tree has its own feelings." Jiang Hai nodded to show his understanding.
"Oh, forget it, forget it. I don't want to think about this anymore. I'm almost going back to Southern Xinjiang with you."
The eldest lady didn't seem to be feeling too sad about the passing of time. She cheered herself up and was quite cheerful.
"My lady is quite open-minded. What should I do? I am a little reluctant to leave your boudoir." Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Then you can stay here until you are satisfied. I will go back to Southern Xinjiang to wait for you."
"You're not playing by the rules."
"I told you not to say these things hypocritically." Yuchi Ziling said contemptuously.
Jiang Hai's teasing failed, he could only laugh awkwardly and followed him into the room.
The couple didn't have much stuff, basically just some daily necessities brought from Jiang's house.
With Cai'er coming to help, it didn't take long to clean up.
