Chapter 600 A Passerby in a Fictional Dynasty (8)
After staying at her maternal grandfather's house for a few days, Jiang Yue and the others moved out because Jiang's mother needed to handle some family matters. The Jiang family also had influence in this area, so Jiang's mother met with everyone she needed to meet, promoted those who needed to be promoted, and dealt with those who needed to be dealt with. When handling these matters, Jiang's mother took Jiang Yue with her, intending to teach her a thing or two.
After a busy two weeks, the important business was finally finished. Jiang Yue also got the small caravan pulled by the puppets up and running. Afterwards, Jiang Yue treated her cousins to a meal. They were all independent at this age, so she asked them to take care of her business. Regardless of whether they would help her in the future, they all agreed at the moment.
Jiang Yue didn't expect anyone to help her wholeheartedly. Her main purpose was to get to know people and avoid a situation where things went wrong and the family ended up fighting, which would be a loss.
The day after the banquet, many more shopkeepers came to congratulate the newly opened store. They all shared the same sentiment: regardless of what happens later, they wanted to get to know each other first, in case there were opportunities for future cooperation.
After finishing her business, Jiang Yue spent her time eating, drinking, and having fun. She bought some local specialties and also attended an auction, where she bought some local specialties and made some connections with the second generation of the locals. These are all future connections.
After playing for a few days, Jiang Yue used the seclusion room. Having had enough time to settle down, she naturally broke through to the unity of heaven and man. After consolidating her cultivation, she adjusted her apparent realm, changing it to look like she had just broken through to the innate realm.
After learning that she had broken through to the Innate Realm, her cousins organized a celebration banquet, and her maternal grandparents and uncles gave her another batch of gifts. Jiang Yue was overwhelmed by all the wonderful gifts. After the banquet, Xiao Cui was about to go into seclusion. Originally, she was there to protect Jiang Yue, but now Jiang Yue had reached the same level as her.
She was happy but also a little disappointed, afraid that Jiang Yue no longer needed her. Jiang Yue had a good talk with her and comforted her. She didn't treat her as a bodyguard, but as her own sister. After coaxing her all night, she was back to her carefree self, only she worked harder at cultivation.
After Jiang's mother finished her business, it was time for the family to leave. Before parting, the family had a reunion dinner. Jiang's mother was in the study planning the route home. She was considering whether to go straight home or disembark at the second supply point and then go to the capital to meet up with her brother Jiang Yue and go home together.
Finally, at Jiang Yue's strong suggestion, they chose the second option: to go to the capital to find her elder brother. Jiang Yue mainly wanted to see the capital, as it was the capital of a dynasty and its prosperity was bound to be extraordinary. Since they decided to take this route, Jiang's mother notified the family to have a caravan pick them up there.
The weather was gloomy on the day of departure, as if it was going to rain. Jiang's mother kept her grandparents company while Jiang Yue took charge of the convoy, checking the supplies and other matters. When it was almost time, Jiang's mother ended her conversation with her grandparents, said goodbye, and got into the car.
"Set off!"
The convoy moved forward in a grand procession, and soon the people seeing them off disappeared from sight. Seeing that her mother was in low spirits, Jiang Yue and Xiao Cui tried to cheer her up. After ten days of travel, the convoy arrived at the dock. While waiting for their luggage to be loaded onto the ship, Jiang Yue and Xiao Cui went to buy some snacks.
On the return journey, they took the same route. Jiang Yue and Xiao Cui did not leave their cabins and remained in seclusion to cultivate. Twenty-five days later, they arrived at their destination. The Jiang family's caravan was already waiting for them. After disembarking, they transferred their luggage to a carriage, and then the family went to a restaurant for a meal.
After resting for two days, they set off for the capital. The roads here were far superior to those in Liangzhou City, making for a very smooth ride. Coupled with the excellent shock absorption technology of the carriage, Jiang Yue was very comfortable. After traveling and stopping frequently for half a month, the family finally arrived outside the capital.
The Earth-Shaking Oxen are not allowed to enter the capital city, but the Jiang family has a manor here. The caravan went directly to the manor, where Brother Jiang Yue was waiting. They saw their elder brother waiting for them halfway there.
"Big brother!!!"
"Wait until the bus stops before getting off!!! Ugh~"
Jiang Yue's older brother looked at Jiang Yue jumping down helplessly, glared at her, and went to help Jiang Yue's mother get off the car. But she was a Grandmaster, not an ordinary woman, so there was no need for him.
After Jiang's mother got out of the car, the convoy continued on its way. The group strolled along, taking in the scenery. Since Jiang Yue had never been here before, her older brother gave her a brief introduction. Jiang's mother, however, didn't need an introduction. The Jiang family had lived in the capital city a dozen years ago. After the old emperor ran into trouble, the family moved to Liangzhou City. A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.
Originally, they planned to go to Liangzhou, far away from the center of political struggle. Who knew that the prince's fiefdom would be set there? For the Jiang family, this was truly an undeserved disaster. Now, if they told others that this situation had nothing to do with the Ninth Prince, no one would necessarily believe them. There had been rumors before that the Ninth Prince's people were supported by the Jiang family. What's worse is that the protagonist, that idiot, didn't object at all. On the contrary, he was quite happy. Suddenly, a scapegoat appeared.
When they arrived at the estate, the eldest brother had already prepared a meal. Jiang Yue and the others took a bath before eating. Only the four of them were present during the meal. The eldest brother briefly talked about the current situation in the capital and who were trying to win them over.
"This capital city is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. I've sensed the presence of several experts along the way. They're watching you."
"Yes, if Mother hadn't come, I would have returned to Liangzhou City long ago. I'm afraid that if I stay even one more day, I might fall into someone's trap. Now, I don't dare to go even if someone invites me. Who knows if they are secretly supporting a certain prince?"
"By the way, have everything been arranged with the family?"
"It's all arranged. Most of them have been assigned to other posts, while some quick-witted ones have stayed in the capital."
"Have you confessed everything you needed to?"
"It's all settled."
"Let's rest for a few days and then leave. Tomorrow I'll take your sister to the capital to have some fun, so she doesn't get tricked."
"OK."
They chatted for a while afterward, and she slept well that night. The next day, her older brother took Jiang Yue to the capital for a stroll. Knowing what Jiang Yue liked, he took her directly to a restaurant and asked for a private room for safety.
After dinner, they went shopping. Since everyone was disguised, there were no annoying people bothering them at first. But things changed later. Soon, several groups of beautiful women and handsome men came by. Jiang Yue and her older brother exchanged a glance. They realized they were using a honey trap. They canceled their plans and went home.
After that, Jiang Yue didn't want to go out anymore. She had too many plans and no interest in shopping. After the Earth-Shaking Bull had rested, they prepared to return to Liangzhou City. It was better to be at home; there wouldn't be so many things to do. She wished she hadn't come here.
