Jiang Hai and the other two were eating quietly at the dining table.
Cai'er snorted a little louder and was glared at by Young Master Jiang. She shrank her head in disappointment.
After a while, footsteps were heard at the stairs again. The sound was steady and powerful, a bit like the footsteps of a martial artist.
"Is this for Yang Hongye?" Jiang Hai guessed in his heart.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, passing by the door of the room where Jiang Hai and the others were, and entering the private room next door.
As Jiang Hai expected, it was indeed the person looking for Yang Hongye.
After entering the private room, the man heard a burst of hearty laughter, which was as loud as a bell.
"Hahaha, General Cui Cheng greets His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"No need to be polite, General Cui, please take a seat."
…
This is simply unbelievable. Wenzhi looked at Jiang Hai helplessly and pointed to the next room. His meaning was very clear: is there any need to eavesdrop?
Perhaps influenced by Cui Cheng, Yang Hongye's voice also became a little higher, so there was no need to eavesdrop at all.
Jiang Hai sat quietly eating and listening to the conversation next to him.
"Thank you for your support, Your Highness. If you have any requests from now on, I will be happy to help you."
"General Cui, there's no need for formalities. Once you're here, you're one of us. Come, come, try this wine. It just arrived. It's said to be very strong."
…
Jiang Hai heard that this General Cui was the person Yang Hongye had just recruited, and this wine, oh, wasn't it the specialty of Xincheng that had just arrived on the merchant ship?
"Tsk, so ignorant." Jiang Hai complained in his heart.
Jiang Hai and his companions did not leave the private room.
Jiang Hai and the others did not get up and leave until Yang Hongye and Cui Cheng had eaten and drunk their fill, finished their conversation, and left.
The information we got from their conversation was that Cui Cheng was brought to the capital by Yang Hongye's party.
No one said exactly what he was here for, but Jiang Hai had a vague feeling that he was most likely here to replace his father-in-law.
Jiang Hai did not tell Yuchi Ziling about this. If Yuchi Zhong was replaced as the General of the Left Guard, it was unknown where he would be transferred to next.
Official positions in the capital are all assigned to specific positions, and I'm afraid I'll be transferred out of the capital.
But Jiang Hai didn't think it was a big deal. It would be even better if his father-in-law could be transferred to southern Xinjiang. He was already walking sideways, but now he can walk diagonally or even crookedly.
Of course, in addition to the general's matter, there is also the Chamber of Commerce's matter. Yang Hongye came back here today, probably to see the profitable goods that Jiang Hai mentioned.
Seeing that he spoke so smoothly today, he must be very satisfied with the goods.
Outside the restaurant.
Not far away, there was an intersection with many horse-drawn carriages parked there, which were obviously for rent.
Wenzhi went to rent a carriage that looked pretty good. Oh no, Wenzhi bought it outright. If he rented it, he would have needed a driver, which was troublesome.
There is no such thing as Young Master Jiang renting a carriage when traveling.
Wenzhi drove the car, and the few of them hurried towards the capital.
Cai'er was used to riding in Jiang Hai's carriage, and now she was bumping around in this ordinary carriage, she felt a little hesitant to speak.
"Hey, Cai'er, if you want to complain about this carriage, just say it."
"Master, you are so smart. You know all this."
"You know what this is called? It's called, 'It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality.'"
Jiang Hai spoke calmly about teaching.
Cai'er found it a little difficult to understand his flowery words.
Yuchi Ziling understood it easily and thought that what he said was quite right. She said,
"That seems to make sense. Do you find it difficult to enter Jian now?"
"Fortunately, I'm a casual person, and when I'm casual, I might not necessarily be a human being."
"..., tell me why this is not a human law."
"Believe it or not, when I get mad, I'll even hit myself."
"..., forget it, you must have been fooled by this carriage. This is irrelevant. It's better not to talk to you for now."
"What are those lips? Madam, are you still thinking about your pouty lips? Come on, come on, I can do it."
Jiang Hai started to act up again, pouting and stretching his head over.
As a result, he was hit by the eldest lady's bone-dissolving palm, which pushed his head back.
They were happy all the way and soon arrived at the capital.
After entering the city, Wenzhi, who was in front of the car, turned around and asked,
"Which way are you going, Master? The General's Mansion or the Jiang Residence?"
"Let's go to Jiang's residence. We'll go to the General's residence tomorrow."
Jiang Hai thought about it and decided to go back to Jiang's house to prepare. He would bring his wife back tomorrow, so he had to be a little more formal and not be too casual, not even bringing a gift.
When Yuchi Ziling heard what Jiang Hai said, she felt that it was true. At least she felt that her husband still cared about her.
Come to Jiang's house.
The person in charge of Jiang's house now is a steward named Fuxi. He picked a more astute one from among the former shop owners in the capital to be the steward.
Fuxi is not much older than Uncle Hao, and everyone in Jiang's house calls him Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu was very surprised to see the young master and mistress who came to the capital.
This time, Jiang Xiuyuan didn't know that Jiang Hai was coming to the capital, and he didn't give them a heads-up in advance.
"Uncle Fu, are you used to coming to the Jiang residence?" Jiang Hai asked Uncle Fu as soon as he entered the house.
"Get used to it, young master. I'll arrange accommodation for you right away." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Uncle Fu had worked in the Jiang family's shop for many years, and could be considered half a member of the Jiang family.
It's just that he spends most of his time in the shop and rarely comes to the house.
Being a housekeeper this time is a great job for him. He has free time all day long and the monthly salary is high.
His attitude was much better than Hao Bo's, and Jiang Hai felt a little emotional.
However, Uncle Hao was truly integrated into the Jiang family. Jiang Hai felt a little uncomfortable with Uncle Fu's respectful attitude.
Jiang Hai felt like a jerk in his mind, and he actually missed the feeling of being stabbed in the back by Hao Bo.
After Uncle Fu left, Jiang Hai asked without thinking,
"My lady, am I a bitch?"
When Yuchi Ziling heard this, she almost spit it out. It was rare for this guy to have some self-awareness. She nodded and said,
"Indeed. It's rare for a gentleman to be so self-aware. I really admire him."
Jiang Hai heard her sarcastic words and realized that he had not expressed himself clearly.
"You are so accommodating. So this is how I am in your mind.
Oh, I don’t love you anymore. I was just thinking about why I suddenly thought of Hao Bo.
"Don't blame me, I'm just telling the truth."
"Okay, since you're already so cheap, why not be a little more cheap?"
After saying this, Jiang Hai showed a cunning expression.
Seeing this, Yuchi Ziling immediately retreated, left the main house and ran to find Cai'er.
Jiang Hai was just joking. He was exhausted from the journey, riding on a cargo ship and then in a bumpy carriage.
After seeing his wife leave, Jiang Hai remembered what to do tomorrow, so he left the main house and went to find Uncle Fu to ask him to arrange things for returning to the general's mansion tomorrow.
