After comforting the group and telling them to rest in the back, Mingxiu arranged for people and a doctor to wait until the person woke up before speaking to them.
Mingxiu waited in the main hall until Kangxi returned in the evening. He was still covered in dew, so Mingxiu quickly got a blanket for him to wipe him off. Although the weather was hard to warm up, catching a cold would be a serious matter.
"How are you? Are you alright? How did things go?" Mingxiu asked Kangxi with some concern.
Kangxi took the horsehair blanket and shook his head at Mingxiu: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The matter over there has been resolved. Zhang Yuanchao has been caught, and his inner circle has been sent. But after this incident, our identities may no longer be able to be hidden, so we may have to leave ahead of schedule."
"That's alright. We've all gotten tired of living here anyway, so a change of scenery is fine, as long as everyone's safe and sound." Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with concern.
Kangxi smiled and said, "What about Little Stone and the others?"
"I had someone tell Xiao Shitou everything. They're still inside calming down, so I didn't let anyone go in to disturb them."
Kangxi nodded, trying to calm himself down.
Kangxi was right. By the next day, someone had come to see Kangxi. Mingxiu did not go out, and it is unknown what they said.
However, the town remained under martial law for the next few days until the people sent by Yinreng came to take over the library. By then, Xiao Shitou had accepted his parents' situation. Just then, Xiao Shitou's uncle returned, and after hearing what had happened, he went to express his gratitude and then took Xiao Shitou and his elders away.
Before leaving, Xiao Shitou clung to Kangxi's sleeve, reluctant to part. After all, Kangxi was Xiao Shitou's teacher, so when he left, he gave Xiao Shitou a whole box of books, which successfully wiped away all of Xiao Shitou's reluctance.
Mingxiu found it incredibly funny watching from the side.
Mingxiu and Kangxi waited until the court officials arrived, and then Kangxi handed over the things he had prepared during his free time to them.
This is based on some of Mingxiu's memories, and then sorted out according to the specific situation of the Qing Dynasty. The imperial court was in charge. People who borrowed books used library cards, which had their names, addresses, and time limits on them. As long as the borrowed books were returned within the specified period, that was fine.
During this time, Mingxiu handed over the cake shop to the person in charge, who was recommended by Jiahui. This person was probably a family member, but Mingxiu didn't know him at all. However, Mingxiu trusted Jiahui, so she entrusted the shop to them without worry. Then, she and Kangxi set off.
Because her identity was exposed during this period, ordinary people might not know, but some people with enough status do. People often come to visit her, which bothers Mingxiu quite a bit. So she hasn't left the house much during this time and is having a hard time staying inside.
The two of them traveled slowly, not in a hurry at all, stopping and starting along the way, and even making a detour to Jiangnan.
The scenery of Jiangnan is as alluring as ever. After spending a few days in Jiangnan, I went to Hangzhou. West Lake in Hangzhou is the least crowded place now. When Mingxiu was taking pictures on it, wearing a sky-blue dress, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's so much better when things are slower now."
She had visited West Lake in modern times, and it was truly packed with people, so crowded that people were practically shoulder to shoulder. Forget about taking pictures, Mingxiu was even afraid that the bridge might collapse if she stood on it and couldn't support so many people. She had absolutely no sense of experience.
I went once and never went again.
It's just that Zhejiang University doesn't exist now, otherwise Mingxiu would like to visit some universities in Zhejiang. But even so, it's still a dream come true.
"Let's go. Do you want to try West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce again, or do you want to eat something else?" Kangxi frowned as he watched Mingxiu's reluctant expression.
"Of course we'll eat something else." Mingxiu looked at Kangxi in shock. No matter how much she liked Wu Xie, she couldn't eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce.
Mingxiu walked over and walked with Kangxi, not forgetting to coax him, "Oh, what shall we eat? I'll be happy to eat anything as long as I'm eating with my husband."
"I wonder what my husband would like to eat?" Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with a smile.
"Hmph," Kangxi snorted coldly, "You don't even know what I want to eat. It seems you really don't care about me."
Ah~
Mingxiu stood there, stunned, watching Kangxi's departing figure. Her lips twitched slightly. Where did this sudden display of cunning come from?
However, Mingxiu curled the corners of her lips and quickly followed, because she liked it!
When Kangxi saw Mingxiu following him, he smiled. Most people fall in love when they are young, but Mingxiu and Kangxi have only grown closer to feeling love now.
Liang Jiugong and Yu Lan followed behind, exchanging knowing smiles as they looked at the two people in front.
After staying in Hangzhou for a while, the group set off to return home. This trip had lasted quite a long time, about three years in total.
In these three years, the capital city did not change much, but the development of reform and technology did not lag behind at all. Yinreng even spent a lot of money to buy a technology from outside, just to make the development of the capital city better.
Mingxiu and Kangxi felt a little unfamiliar when they stood in the capital. Instead of going straight back, they chose to stroll around outside. One of the main reasons for their return was that the Empress Dowager was not in good health, so Kangxi and the others needed to come back ahead of time.
After Emperor Kangxi abdicated, the original Empress Dowager was directly promoted to Grand Empress Dowager, because Kangxi did not have an Empress, so there was no Empress Dowager.
"You really have to admit it, the capital is developing really well, and Emperor Baocheng is doing a really good job." Mingxiu walked down the street, looking at the people on both sides of the road.
Kangxi looked up, his face, no longer young, was full of smiles. Yinreng was the emperor he had personally trained.
"Boss, five skewers of candied hawthorn, please," Mingxiu said as she walked up to the vendor selling candied hawthorn.
"Alright, sir, here you go." The vendor quickly picked a few strings of candied hawthorns from the basket and handed them over.
Mingxiu took one string, and the rest were for Yulan and the others.
"Mmm, it tastes really good, you should try it." Mingxiu took a bite and thought it tasted really good.
Kangxi took a bite of a candied hawthorn from Mingxiu's hand, nodded in satisfaction, and said that it tasted really good.
