After the New Year's Day, everything gradually returned to normal.
Li Sisi sighed: "I didn't expect that Xiao Jin, who looks young, is so decisive in doing things. She directly abandoned her man to pursue her career."
The rules of the Nangong family are not easily publicized, so Li Sisi did not know that the Saint of the Nangong family had requirements. She just thought that Nangong Jin had gone home to inherit the family business.
Li Nian nodded in agreement: "Yes, I heard that the status of the Saint of the Nangong family is higher than that of the clan leader."
"Is that so? Wow! Xiao Jin is doing great things without making a sound!" Li Sisi was filled with amazement. "When we return to the capital, we can brag that we know the Saint of Southern Xinjiang!"
The two were chatting when they suddenly saw Xiao Yunchen, who had gone out early in the morning, hurried in.
The man who was usually calm and didn't show his emotions easily was now full of anxiety.
Li Sisi asked curiously, "Chenchen, what happened when you went out?"
Xiao Yunchen walked in and took out a letter from his pocket: "I received news today that a plague has broken out in the capital, and the emperor's life is in danger."
Li Sisi jumped up in shock: "What? How could there be a plague all of a sudden?"
Xiao Yunchen said in a deep voice: "We don't know yet, we need to go back as soon as possible."
Li Sisi immediately agreed: "We must hurry back. The plague may become very serious and out of control at any time. We don't know what will happen then!"
Li Sisi paused and asked, "By the way, Wen Luoxin is such a great doctor, and she's still in the capital! Hasn't she figured out anything?"
"She was not mentioned in the letter, so I don't know the details." Xiao Yunchen replied.
Li Nian stood up and said, "Ayu and Master will probably be back a little later. Let's get ready and leave early."
Xiao Yunyu and Zhou Nanxing brought Jinhe back home before dinner.
After dinner, Xiao Yunchen told Xiao Yunyu the news from the capital, and the two quickly discussed the departure time.
Xiao Yunyu and Li Nian took Jinhe and Zhou Nanxing to say goodbye.
But I saw Zhou Nanxing packing his bags.
Xiao Yunyu persuaded him, "Master, you can stay here for a while longer. Although we've left, there are still servants waiting on you in the mansion. It's definitely more lively than you being alone in the mountains."
Zhou Nanxing put down his bag and replied, "I'll go to the capital with you."
Li Nian's face was filled with surprise, and he said with joy, "Master, how long do you plan to stay in the capital this time? The courtyard of Liuli Pavilion has always been reserved for you. Otherwise, you can live in the capital permanently, and A Yu and I will honor you together."
Zhou Nanxing glanced at the little girl in her arms and said with a smile, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? I'm used to following my heart. For the time being, I'll go to the capital with you and take care of Jinhe for you."
As he spoke, he reached out to the little girl.
Xiao Jinhe was also very close to him and immediately moved into his arms.
Zhou Nanxing held the little girl in his arms, his face full of happiness: "As for me, I want to teach Jinhe kung fu in the future!"
He knew that his apprentice looked very domineering, but in fact, the important matters in the family were still decided by his wife.
Then he looked at Li Nian and said, "I heard that Jinhe has encountered many dangers before. Although she is a girl and should learn those arts, Jinhe's situation is different. She still needs to learn the skills of self-protection."
Li Nian nodded: "Master is right, but Jinhe is still young, so we can't rush into martial arts training."
Zhou Nanxing said, "Didn't you say before that you could start learning after two years when your body is stronger? I will go back to the capital with you and teach the little girl after two years."
Although Li Nian knew that Zhou Nanxing was very fond of her daughter.
However, in order to teach Jinhe Kung Fu, Zhou Nanxing was willing to go to the capital with them and wait for two years. Such sincere and pure love still surprised and unexpected her.
Her daughter is not only loved by her, but also by many, many people.
Li Nian was so moved that her eyes welled up: "Thank you, Master."
Seeing her tears in her eyes, Zhou Nanxing waved his hands awkwardly, "Jinhe is my disciple's granddaughter. It's only natural that I love her. It's getting late, why don't you all go back and rest? The journey back to Beijing is long!"
Li Nian smiled at him and said, "Okay, you should rest early too."
————
On the day of leaving, Nangong Jin came to see him off.
She seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. When I first met her, she looked like a quirky girl. She was wearing a dark blue folk costume from southern Xinjiang, with many silver ornaments hanging on her clothes, and she walked lively and energetically.
Now, she was wearing a pure white dress without any ornaments. Her long hair, which had been tied up in a playful bun before, was now only half tied up at the back of her head with a pitch-black hairpin of unknown material.
His walking posture was also much more steady, and each step was light and graceful.
Li Sisi sighed: "Xiao Jin looks a bit like a fairy from heaven now."
Li Nian said, "Every loss has its own gains. This is perhaps better now. It's not easy to get hurt because of a pure heart and few desires."
Li Sisi nodded in agreement: "Xiao Jin is a saint now. That scumbag Zhou Yiheng is not even worthy of carrying her shoes!"
Zhou Nanxing looked at his young apprentice, who was now completely different and calm, and said with heartache: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to the capital to find us. Don't take things too seriously. If you change places, you will find that your life will change accordingly. Don't be bound by the current bad situation."
Li Sisi also said loudly: "Xiao Jin, we always welcome you in Beijing."
Nangong Jin smiled and replied, "Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely go to the capital to visit you."
At this time, Ru Liu came over and said, "Sir, everything is ready."
Xiao Yunchen nodded slightly: "Let's go!"
Li Nian said goodbye to Nangong Jin: "Take care."
Nangong Jin waved goodbye to them: "Have a safe journey."
This trip back to Beijing was different from the leisurely mood when I came to southern Xinjiang. I eliminated all unnecessary stops on the way and rushed all the way, which took exactly half the time of the previous trip.
When Li Sisi learned that a plague had broken out in the capital, she thought to herself: the people in the capital were wailing constantly, no one was driven out to wander the streets, and most of the shops were closed and people stayed at home to save their lives.
Unexpectedly, the capital city is still as prosperous and bustling as before. Just looking at it, you can't tell that there is an epidemic in the capital city.
Could it be that Lord Xiao missed his granddaughters and deliberately made up an excuse to trick them back?
Li Sisi thinks it is entirely possible!
The carriage drove through the bustling streets of the capital and arrived at the gate of Marquis Xiao's mansion.
When the doorman saw their carriage stop, he immediately went into the mansion to report.
Xiao Yunyu got off the horse first, stood beside the carriage, took Jinhe from Li Nian's hands, and helped her get off the carriage with one hand.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Lord Xiao, dressed in a brocade robe, immediately strode towards him with excitement on his face.
"Grandpa's darling granddaughter is back! Come and let grandpa hold her." Marquis Xiao snatched Jinhe from Xiao Yunyu's arms and happily followed them into the mansion.
