"Go and have a look. I'll have someone send you to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion later. Your father and I have already picked a date. Seven days later, we will prepare a banquet. We will send invitations to all the noble families in Kyoto, inviting them to attend our daughter-recognition banquet."
The couple didn't want to delay at all and wanted to take their daughter home immediately.
"I'll follow my parents' arrangements, but what about Cheng Xueyun?"
Jiang Sui thought that this guy was still in the villa, probably looking forward to the coming of the stars and the moon.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just prepare yourself well. Seven days later, dress yourself up beautifully and accept the blessings of everyone in Kyoto."
As for Cheng Xueyun, they have their own decision...
In short, it is impossible to accept that she continues to be the legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, but considering that she is the blood of the Xuanping Marquis, a suitable marriage will be arranged for her as soon as possible, even if it is a marriage of low status or far away.
Anyway, it is impossible to let her continue to stay in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
All the servants and guards in the mansion went out together and carried all the dowry boxes to the No. 1 scholar's mansion.
The warehouse of Zhuangyuan Mansion was almost full. In addition to these visible things, there were an additional 100,000 taels of silver, which were given to Jiang Sui in the form of silver notes.
She is now a truly wealthy woman.
Jiang always felt that the No. 1 scholar's mansion was too small, so she asked her to move to the property she gave her. Any house there was much more spacious than the No. 1 scholar's mansion.
But Jiang Sui refused. After all, they were just a couple and there was no need to live in such a big house. Besides, the Zhuangyuan Mansion was bestowed by the emperor and Hechuan was only a sixth-rank official now. If they made too much of a fuss, it would easily arouse suspicion. It was better to keep a low profile.
When Xia Wan Ning heard that she had returned from Jeju, she sent someone to invite her to Prince Xun's mansion to reminisce about the past.
When Jiang Sui arrived at Prince Xun's Mansion, he happened to meet Helian Jing returning from court, and Xiao Hechuan was with him.
The three of them met each other.
"I knew Wan Ning would take you in as well. Today, the four of us will sit down and have a good meal. By the way, I would like to congratulate you on finding your biological parents."
Helian Jing was very polite to Jiang Sui because he regarded Xiao Hechuan as a close friend. Otherwise, with his personality, he would be cold to everyone.
It seems that Xia Wanning has already told him that when Helian Jing himself heard about this, he did not show much surprise.
He had met the wife of Marquis Xuanping many times, and when he first saw Jiang Sui in Jeju, he thought she looked very familiar.
Because Marquis Xuanping had actually served as his Taifu in his early years, and he was very respectful to Marquis Xuanping's wife, who was very gentle. When he was a child in Marquis Xuanping's mansion, he could feel the kind of family affection that he needed more. Because he was born in the royal family, family affection was inherently weak. His father's mind was on the country, while his mother's mind was on his father.
The wife of Marquis Xuanping has a maternal aura, and he has envied Cheng Moyang since he was a child.
When I saw Xia Wanning again, she had tied her hair into a bun, but her beautiful face was even more radiant than before. It seemed that their married life was very sweet.
As soon as Jiang Sui arrived, Xia Wanning gave her a big hug.
"Sui Sui, you're finally back. I finally have someone to play with for a long time."
She didn't want to have anything to do with the noble ladies in Kyoto because they were too hypocritical.
"I miss you too. I haven't seen you for two months and you've become more beautiful." Jiang Sui said sincerely.
Xia Wanning touched her face proudly, and then said playfully:
"The person that Helian Jing sent to the Luosha Kingdom outside the Great Wall to inquire about the news has returned. He also brought me a lot of perfume used by the women of the Luosha Kingdom. The Luosha Kingdom is ruled by a female emperor, and women have a high status there. I still have some, you can take them all, and also give some to the wife of Xuanping Marquis."
The person that Helian Jing sent to Luosha Kingdom to inquire about the news came back and brought back good news and bad news.
The good news is that we heard that the empress of Luosha Kingdom has a missing princess and she has never given up the search. The bad news is that Luosha Kingdom is preparing to send troops to attack Daqing and is already preparing for war, which may take the next two years.
The Rakshasa Kingdom is powerful and good at riding and shooting. It is a country on horseback. Their subjects are physically strong. The male civilians are basically over 1.75 meters tall, and there are very few short people.
If a war really breaks out, Daqing will have a hard time.
The most important thing is that the Rakshasa Kingdom has a very terrifying weapon, the musket, which is invincible in close combat.
But now, Xiao Hechuan has prepared a big bargaining chip for Helian Jing. As long as he uses it well, Helian Jing's position as the crown prince in the future will be as solid as a rock.
But the uncertain factor is that Helian Heng was also reborn. Although he seems to be in a bad state now, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will suddenly become motivated again one day and want to compete for the throne again.
And now he is having a hot affair with Fang Miao... Xiao Hechuan is wondering whether it is the right decision to just leave it alone.
It was not time for dinner yet, so Helian Jing went to the room with Xiao Hechuan to discuss matters, while Xia Wanning took Jiang Sui to wander around the palace. Prince Xun's palace was too big and it would take a while to tour it all.
The koi fish raised in the pond of Prince Xun's mansion are particularly fat.
Jiang Sui thought about cleaning up the pond in Zhuangyuan Mansion, planting a pond of lotus flowers in it, and putting a few koi carps in the fresh water.
…
In the suburbs, Cheng Moyang came to the villa specially. He came here today not to care about Cheng Xueyun, but to inform her of something.
Her mother has done so many evil things for her, she deserves to know the truth.
Cheng Xueyun had been looking forward to her brother's arrival for a long time. When she heard that he was coming, she almost ran out with an aggrieved expression on her face.
When she saw Cheng Moyang, she opened her arms and came over coquettishly:
"Brother~ You finally came to see me!"
This tone of voice was enough to make people feel sick. In the past, Cheng Moyang would definitely not think there was anything wrong with it, but now looking at her, he really couldn't laugh.
When I see her, I easily think of the hard days I went through year after year.
Before she could hold him up, he put his hand on her head and pushed her back.
"Don't make a fuss, just stand there and talk."
Cheng Xueyun felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard her brother's cold tone and distant actions.
Could it be that even her brother doesn't want her now?
"Brother, why are you so cold to me now? Did I do something wrong?" she asked with her mouth blocked.
She seemed to have forgotten why she was locked up in the villa.
"Don't you know what you did wrong?" Facing Cheng Moyang's questioning, Cheng Xueyun felt panicked.
"I really know I was wrong about the itching powder. Brother, can you take me home? I miss my parents. I will be obedient in the future."
