Chapter 73 Jiang Youya Arrives in Beijing
"Miss Lan'er, is my sister still alive?"
Gu Jinxuan couldn't wait to look into the room.
It’s a pity that I can’t see it at all through the screen.
"Don't worry, the seppuku was successful. We have to wait a little longer before my lady comes out."
Gu Jinxuan felt relieved.
"My Yan'er will live and not die, right?" At this time, Mrs. Gu hurried over after hearing the news.
Bai Lan said, "Miss Gu should be fine now, but she hasn't woken up yet. We'll have to wait until she wakes up tomorrow to find out how she's doing."
Madam Gu asked, "Does your lower abdomen still hurt?"
“It hurts.”
Song Yu came out carrying a medicine box.
Wen Nuo took the medicine box and carried it on his back with great tact.
"What? It still hurts."
"This pain is not that pain. The wound will be a little painful after the anesthetic wears off. Miss Gu should be able to bear it. It will be much better in three days. I have already told Aunt Lan about the follow-up precautions and diet. I will leave when it is almost dawn."
"Miss Song, the room has been prepared for you. Why don't you stay here?"
"No need, Master Gu, let's go back to the Donglai Inn and rest."
Gu Jinxuan then handed over the reward of 10,000 taels of silver with both hands, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Song. Here is the reward. I wonder where your family is? When my sister recovers, I will definitely come to your house with a generous gift to express my gratitude."
"Lan'er."
Bai Lan took the banknote with a normal expression, but she was cheering in her heart.
I’m really rich!
"Master Gu, there's no need to come and express your gratitude. You paid the reward, I saved your sister, and our karmic relationship is over. I hope Master Gu will act according to the guarantee."
Gu Jinxuan said respectfully: "Don't worry, Miss Song, I will abide by it."
"Sister is leaving soon, go back to sleep, aren't you sleepy?"
Wen Nuo thought they were being too nagging, so he dragged Song Yu downstairs. "Mr. Gu, there's no need to come downstairs to see me off. Go see your sister."
"Dad, Uncle Wen, why are you still guarding here?"
"Of course I'm worried you'll be in danger. Hurry up and get in the car and go back."
The next day at 9:00 PM.
Jiang Yunwan and Li Yuejiao frowned at the same time as they looked at Song Yu who was soundly sleeping on the bed.
Li Yuejiao whispered, "It's really hard to earn these ten thousand taels. Look how tired the child is."
Jiang Yunwan said, "Sister Yu has been putting more emphasis on her medical skills lately, putting calligraphy and painting aside. This can't be the case when we get to the capital. We need to balance the six arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and women's embroidery. Chaofeng Palace Academy doesn't allow students to specialize in one subject."
"Wanwan, Sister Yu went to the Chaofeng Palace Academy. After graduation, can she become an official like a man?"
"You must at least reach the title of a fourth-rank noblewoman and be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics before you can take the Luantai Examination, which was established by the founding Empress Dowager of our Great Yuan Dynasty. Only those with excellent results will be selected to become palace ladies-in-waiting and the princess's companions."
Li Yuejiao was suddenly disappointed. "I thought I could be sent out to be a female prefect or county magistrate. But in this dynasty, men are still superior to women."
Jiang Yunwan said, "During the time of our founding Empress Dowager, there were female county magistrates, female prefects, and even women who reached the highest position of Prime Minister. It was only after the Empress Dowager passed away that there were no more female officials sent out to serve in the imperial court."
Li Yuejiao: "How do you know so much? Who did you hear it from?"
"My grandfather, my father and others."
Li Yuejiao suddenly realized that she had mistaken Jiang Yunwan for Song Wanwan. "Wanwan, your name is Jiang something Wan, which Jiang?"
"Jiang Yunwan, Jiang as in ginger, Yun as in blue sky and white clouds."
"Jiang?" Li Yuejiao frowned and thought, "I seem to have heard it somewhere. Oh, I remember now!"
"What did you remember?" Jiang Yunwan looked at her in surprise.
"Three years ago, someone paid a large sum of money to ask Suzaku Pavilion to find out the whereabouts of the Peony Fruit Cake. When Ah Can received the news, he thought that the enemy had come to steal the recipe, so he asked his sister-in-law from the next room to pretend to be the one to send the man away. It seems that the employer's surname was Jiang."
"Aunt Jiaojiao, what are you talking about?" Song Yu sat up in bed with sleepy eyes.
"Three years ago, an employer named Jiang was trying to find out the whereabouts of the Peony Fruit Cake?"
"right."
"Mother, it must be Grandpa and the others looking for you."
"Ah?" Jiang Yunwan was stunned for a moment. "My father and eldest brother came to me three years ago?"
"Hey, Wanwan, I'm so sorry, so sorry. It's all my and A-chan's fault. We made a subjective misjudgment and didn't tell Big Brother yet. Otherwise, you would have been reunited with your family three years ago."
"Jiaojiao, it's okay. Three years ago, I lost my memory and didn't know who I was. If my parents find me and see that I don't remember anything, they will definitely be very sad..."
Jiang Yunwan's eyes moistened as she spoke, "...So my family has been looking for me for over ten years. They must be very sad that they couldn't find me."
"Wanwan." Li Yuejiao hurried forward and hugged Jiang Yunwan, comforting her, "You're going to see your parents soon. Going back now will give them a surprise. Smile quickly. Your uncle and aunt will definitely like to see you happy..."
"Mother, don't worry." Song Yu quickly turned over and got out of bed. "I'll get ready right away. We'll head north right away. Lan'er, come and help me comb my hair..."
"Hey, hey, Sister Yu." Jiang Yunwan quickly calmed down and grabbed the anxious Song Yu. "Don't be so anxious. You have to finish your breakfast and lunch first. You can't go hungry."
＊
"Master, I've found out that the siblings and their group have gone north to the capital. They don't speak Mandarin, so they're obviously not from the north. They have a lot of luggage and belongings with them, so they won't be heading south for a while."
Gu Jinxuan nodded: "I understand. When sister recovers, we will return to Beijing. Let's go down and rest first."
"yes."
Gu Jinxuan turned around and gently pushed open the door.
"Yan'er, does the wound still hurt now?"
Gu Jinyan's face was no longer as hideous and distorted as it was yesterday. As her name suggests, although her face was haggard and pale, she was not ugly.
"It doesn't hurt much, I can bear it, mother, you have worked hard these days, you should go and rest."
"Sister is fine now." Gu Jinxuan walked over quietly, "Mom, go and rest without worry. I will accompany Sister."
"Xuan'er, your sister needs to rest now. Don't talk too much to her. If she talks too much, it will hurt her wound."
"Don't worry, mother." Gu Jinxuan quickly asked the maid Hongyu to help Madam Gu out.
"Ah Xuan, has my savior left Xuancheng?"
"Yes, sister. They brought a lot of belongings with them to the capital. They plan to stay there for a while. It's not convenient for our people to follow them. We will look for their whereabouts when we return to the capital and then come to thank them."
Gu Jinyan frowned, seemingly pulling at her wound. "If I don't send someone to follow them, it was dark last night, so I couldn't see their faces clearly. How can I find them in such a big city?"
"I have seen Mr. Nanuo's appearance clearly, but his sister has been wearing a veil, so I can't see her true face."
"Ah Xuan, then you should quickly draw Mr. Nuo's appearance, or you might forget it after a while."
Gu Jinyan thought she was going to die, but when she woke up, she had been saved by committing seppuku.
The person who stabbed her might be younger than her, but she had to see that girl no matter what.
I must thank her in person.
"Okay, sister, I'll go and draw it for you."
Jiang Yunwan was eager to return home, and Song Mingen was as anxious as she was, so he took the shortest route and headed north without encountering any of the Song family members.
On the tenth day after Song Mingen and his group left Xuancheng, Jiang Youya arrived in the capital.
When the doorman saw the familiar carriage, he ran over in a hurry as if he had seen a savior.
"Old Master, you are finally back."
