Xiao Hechuan, Jiang Sui and his group arrived in Kyoto two days in advance.
After returning to Kyoto, Marquis Xuanping and his wife and Cheng Moyang returned to the Marquis' Mansion first, while Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
Later, Cheng Moyang brought two guards over, saying that they were secret guards trained by him personally. They would follow Jiang Sui in the future and protect her safety in secret.
Secret guards are good. Jiang Sui just wanted to have two bodyguards to protect herself, so she gladly accepted it.
Cheng Moyang also has to deal with Zhao Yong's affairs and re-examine the murder case he committed that year. He must pay for everything he owes.
The Dali Temple reopened the case of that year. Zhao Yong confessed his burial place. The people from the Dali Temple took people to dig, and they really dug up the skeleton of a young woman. The cause of death was a severe impact on the head, which shattered the skull.
Zhao Yong's methods are ruthless, which forms a huge contrast with his honest appearance.
If you do bad things and kill someone, you will be punished in the end.
The Xuanping Marquis Mansion was also preparing to choose an auspicious day to announce to the entire Kyoto that the pearl had been found and that a grand banquet would be held.
Cheng Xueyun was forgotten in the villa. She stretched her neck every day, counting the days, thinking that her father and mother would come back soon.
She also didn't know that her own mother had planned so much for her. If she knew the truth, would she feel the slightest bit of guilt towards Jiang Sui?
I guess not, because she takes everything for granted.
Xiao Hechuan returned home and rested for two days, then put on the official uniform sent by the Hanlin Academy.
The official uniforms of Daqing are divided into three grades and three colors. Those above the third rank are all bright red, those from the sixth rank to the third rank are all dark blue, and those below the sixth rank are green.
Xiao Hechuan was of the sixth rank, so his official uniform was dark blue.
Wearing this official uniform and walking in a square step, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and an upright posture, the top scholar is truly a handsome man.
Before dawn, Jiang Sui helped him tidy up his clothes, as he was going to court today.
He had attended court for more than ten years in his previous life and was no longer nervous about it.
Jiang Sui helped him tidy up and finally put the black gauze hat on him. Because of the height difference, Xiao Hechuan even lowered his head to make it easier for her to put it on him.
Afterwards, Jiang Sui looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction:
“Done!”
Xiao Hechuan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and raised his eyebrows.
"I hope you can wear the bright red crane robe soon!" Jiang Sui added.
Only officials of the third rank and above could wear bright red robes embroidered with cranes.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hechuan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms:
"Okay, I will work hard to climb the ladder, and I will win you the title of a royal consort!"
This is possible. The title of Lady of Imperial Concubine's will makes you look very proud.
She nodded slightly, and then the two held hands and she sent him out of the house to attend court.
Later, she had to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Her mother said that she had something to tell her.
However, she didn't know that they had prepared a great gift for her.
Cheng Moyang was very proactive. He came to pick up Jiang Sui and was very caring and concerned about her along the way.
When we arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, there were so many red wooden boxes and red silk placed in the front hall and courtyard that there was almost no place to step.
Jiang Sui looked at the scene and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, are you going to propose marriage? Which girl is that?"
Cheng Moyang was almost struck dumb by her words. He choked on his own saliva and kept coughing.
"Sui Sui... cough cough, you really know how to joke... cough cough cough..."
Jiang Sui was a little embarrassed. Did he guess wrong?
"These are all prepared for you by your parents as supplements to your dowry," Cheng Moyang explained.
"For me? So much?"
Jiang Sui looked around and saw that there were at least eighty boxes, if not a hundred. Did they take out all the belongings of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?
"Yes, the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion has accumulated wealth for several generations. These are nothing. Don't worry, my mother has left my share for me. However, if my sister doesn't mind, I'll give you my share too!"
I swear to God, he has never said such words to Cheng Xueyun.
"No, no, no, you should keep yours for marrying a wife!"
Although Jiang Sui is a little money-grubber, she is also a principled little money-grubber. She would not be concerned about her brother's wife.
"It's okay, I can earn it myself!" Cheng Moyang patted his chest and said confidently.
"How long will it take you to earn that? If it's too little, I'm afraid your future sister-in-law won't want to marry you." Jiang Sui joked.
"Don't worry. If she only cares about my money and not me, then why would I marry her? But if she is sincere to me, I will not give her less than a penny of what she deserves."
Cheng Moyang's three views are indeed correct and impeccable.
As the brother and sister were chatting and laughing, Jiang and Marquis Xuanping arrived. When they saw their daughter, the couple walked quickly forward.
“Sui Sui, come here quickly, father and mother have something to give you.”
Following the two men into the main hall, Jiang took out a heavy wooden box.
"Sui Sui, this is a dowry that your father and I have specially allocated for you after counting the assets of the Marquis' Mansion. It is a pity in my life that I cannot personally see you get married, but now that you are back with us, we have prepared everything that should be prepared for you. The boxes outside are filled with gold, silver, and jewelry selected for you from the warehouse, as well as some silks, valuable ornaments, and so on. What is in this is the land deed of the farm. Your father has an orchard of hundreds of acres in the suburbs, which produces tens of thousands of kilograms of fresh fruits and vegetables every year. Now they have all been transferred to your name as a support for you in Kyoto."
Looking at the thick stack of land deeds in this box, Jiang Sui felt like he had made a fortune.
Doesn’t this make her a wealthy woman?
There is no need to work hard at all. There are twenty shops, hundreds of acres of fertile land, hundreds of acres of orchards, and several houses in prime locations in Kyoto.
Just collect rent every month and you won’t have to work hard in your life.
Seeing her eyes shining as she looked at the land deed, the father, son, mother and son did not think she was greedy for money, but felt distressed.
It must be that the child has lived through too much hardship, so he can't hide his emotions when he sees these treasures.
"Sui Sui, you have suffered a lot, but these are all yours. The entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion is yours. If you want anything else, just tell your father. Your father will do everything he can to find it for you."
Oh my god, I’m so touched. Jiang Sui felt his nose sore.
"That's enough, father and mother. This is enough. Your daughter doesn't want anything more."
Jiang Sui waved her hands quickly. She was wondering whether she should burn more paper money for the original owner's soul. After all, she was now enjoying the wealth and hard-earned family affection on her behalf.
