Chapter 82: Participation

In front of the magnificent Aoshan Mountain, Shen Changze and Cheng Jinchu led their two children to stand at the front of the crowd to watch closely.

The family of four was harmonious and happy, making others envious.

It was really an eyesore and a disappointment.

Jiang Shu lost interest and whispered to Yu Zheng: "Let's go down."

Yu Zheng did not answer, but just held her hand and walked back.

As soon as the two returned to the ground, a handsome man in official uniform and a long sword on his waist bowed to Yu Zheng and said, "There was a kidnapping case in West Street, please be careful, Your Majesty."

Yu Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Just now I saw Marquis Jing'an and his son visiting Aoshan Mountain." The

man was stunned: "Didn't the emperor order the son of Marquis Jing'an to confine himself to reflect for a year?"

Yu Zheng said, "Yes, I leave it to you."

The man nodded with a cold face.

After walking a distance, Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Who was that adult just now?"

"The commander in front of the palace, Zhou Boxu."

Jiang Shu was surprised, "He became a commander at such a young age."

Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is five years older than me and is already thirty years old."

"That's also very impressive. Lord Zhou is really young and promising." Jiang Shu smacked his lips.

Yu Zhengmo frowned, pursed his lips and said, "The capital is not peaceful tonight, I will take you back."

Jiang Shu wanted to refuse, but when she thought of what Zhou Boxu said just now, she swallowed the word "no need ".

No matter how polite or troublesome, it is not as important as life.

The two walked to the end of the street, and Zhuiyun Zhufeng waited by the carriage.

It was still the same carriage as last time, and Jiang Shu felt a familiar sense of relief.

"Go to Jiang's house." Yu Zheng ordered.

The wheels turned, and the "clacking" sound of the horse's hooves was very crisp in the night.

Yu Zheng sat in the main seat, and Jiang Shu sat on the side. The atmosphere was a little subtle and subdued.

Jiang Shu lifted the curtain to breathe, and said in surprise, "It's snowing."

The snow was not heavy, but it was a little fast.

Jiang Shu looked up and looked at the silver snowflakes all over the sky, falling from the dark sky, which was extremely beautiful.

There was a lamp hanging on the wall of the car, and the dim candlelight reflected on Jiang Shu's innocent smile, which made Yu Zheng curl up his lips.

The slight unhappiness just now disappeared without a trace.

It was a pity that this road was too short, and it took only a moment to reach Jiang's house.

After getting off the car, Jiang Shu bowed to Yu Zheng

and said, "Thank you for seeing me off, Your Majesty. Next time, Your Majesty goes to Cuiyun Tower for dinner, it's my turn." Yu Zheng said, "Don't go home so late in the future. It's not safe."

Jiang Shu was slightly startled and explained, "I usually go home by carriage. Today, the driver had something to do at home, so I let him go first."

Yu Zheng nodded, "Go in."

After seeing Jiang Shu enter Jiang's house with his own eyes, Yu Zheng asked Zhu Feng to turn the car around and go back home.

The next morning, Shen Changze was reported by Zhou Boxu.

Accused him of disobeying the imperial edict, taking his son out of the house to play on the streets during the Lantern Festival, and defying the imperial power.

Shen Changze knelt down in fear to explain, but he could not hide the fact that he took his son out of the house.

The emperor was furious and beat Shen Changze with 20 sticks.

Shen Changze was carried into the mansion by Huo Chong after leaving the court.

"How could this happen? Who beat him?" Cheng Jinchu asked anxiously.

Shen Changze lay on the couch and said unhappily: "Yesterday I told you that Yan Yang could not leave the house until he was confined to the house to reflect on his mistakes. You refused to listen and insisted on taking him out of the house. This is the consequence."

"How did the emperor know?" Cheng Jinchu was puzzled.

They had just returned to the capital and had never seen the Lantern Festival. Thinking that Yan Yang and Yan Huan were bored after being locked up in the mansion for several months, he took them out of the mansion to see what was going on, but he never thought that he would cause trouble.

"The commander of the palace, Zhou Boxu, saw it during his inspection, and he attended the court in the main hall today. Hiss!" Shen Changze breathed in pain.

The palace guards hit him hard with a stick, without any water.

Cheng Jinchu was annoyed: "Why does he have to meddle in other people's business."

Shen Changze said in a muffled voice: "He grew up with the eldest princess and they have a deep friendship."

Cheng Jinchu was speechless, it turned out that they had walked right into her.

This Shangjing is really full of dangers, and you can't make any mistakes.

"Watch Yan Yang more closely in the future, and never step out of the mansion again." Shen Changze gritted his teeth and warned.

Yesterday they were lucky, thinking that since Shangjing was so big and crowded, no one would know if Yan Yang sneaked out of the palace.

But the facts proved that Shangjing was full of the emperor's eyes, and he could not escape any action.

If it happened again, it would not be as simple as a beating.

In Cuiyun Building, Jiang Shu and Yu Yuan finished their discussion. When she saw the brocade Yu Yuan was wearing, she asked casually, "Do you like brocade? I saw you wearing it all winter."

Yu Yuan got angry when he mentioned this. He threw away the peanuts in his hand and said, "Do you think I want to wear it? Brother Zheng forced me to make ten sets. What should I do if I don't wear it?"

"You Jiangji Silk Shop are also strange. Why are you suddenly selling brocade?"

Jiang Shu was stunned and said briefly, "The silk merchant we cooperated with broke his promise and changed to cooperate with the Fang family, which cut off Jiangji's goods. We couldn't find a new source of goods for a while, so we had to sell brocade instead."

"The Fang family of Fang Mingxu?" Yu Yuan asked.

Jiang Shu nodded, and suddenly remembered that she had seen Yu Zheng several times, and it seemed that he wore brocade every time.

"He is really a bad guy who doesn't care about other people's business." Yu Yuan spitted contemptuously and put the blame on Fang Mingxu.

Jiang Shu was amused by him and sighed: "The business world is like a battlefield. Everyone fights for their own interests."

"Next time he comes to eat, I will kill him again." Yu Yuan said angrily.

Jiang Shu did not stop him. She didn't like Fang Mingxu either. She always felt that he was unfathomable and extremely dangerous.

Before the end of the first month of the year, Jiang's father went out to do business and handed over the Jiang family's business to Jiang Shu.

This move caused dissatisfaction from Jiang's uncle and Jiang Shaohe, especially Jiang Shaohe, who was extremely upset.

Because Jiang Yun had harmed Jiang Shu, Jiang's father took away Jiang Shaohe's two prosperous shops, causing Jiang Shaohe's income to drop significantly.

Now he asked Jiang Shu to manage the Jiang family's business, and he was completely on guard against them as outsiders.

When the two were drinking and complaining in the tavern that day, Fang Mingxu appeared in front of them.

"Manager Jiang, do you mind if I sit down and drink with you?"

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shaohe, who was half drunk, was alert.

Fang Mingxu smiled and said, "Are you interested in helping you run the Jiang family?"

Fang Mingxu smiled like a bad fox, but the temptation of his words was too great, and the two finally nodded.

The Jiang family had many businesses, and Jiang Shu did not dare to take it lightly. He inspected each store every day to understand the situation, and discussed and solved problems in a timely manner, which impressed all the shopkeepers.

"If the girl was a boy, the Jiang family's huge business would have a successor."

"What a pity, the girl will get married eventually."

Jiang Shu did not hear these words, nor did she care. She just wanted to do the things that Jiang's father gave her.

In February, the weather gradually warmed up, and Jiang's mother looked at the buds on the treetops and counted the days.

"Your father has been gone for almost a month. He should be back in the next few days."

Jiang Shu took a rare break and basked in the sun, joking: "Mom misses Dad."

Jiang's mother said angrily: "What nonsense, I just worry about his safety."

Jiang Shu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Dad has many years of business experience and has brought enough servants and guards. Nothing will happen."

Jiang's mother looked up at the sky, and as usual, she prayed in her heart that Jiang's father would return safely.
