Chapter 186 Liangchuan Long Returns to Beijing
After Xiao Huaimin and the others left, Jiang Tunan and Chunhua stood in the yard and stared at each other.
"Are you confused?"
"I'm convinced."
Jiang Tunan didn't quite understand why someone would choose such a strange name.
"Your name is really unique."
His expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly,
"Oh, that's the name my last master gave me."
Chunhua whispered beside Jiang Tunan,
"Miss, why do I feel that this young man seems to have a bad temper?"
Jiang Tunan nodded in agreement.
"I feel so too."
"Tsk, you two sisters, why are you talking bad about others behind their backs?"
Jiang Tunan & Chunhua: !!!
"You heard all this?!"
I was full of pride.
"I am a master, so I still have some hearing ability. If Xiao... hadn't fallen on hard times, I wouldn't have come here to be a servant."
When Chunhua heard this, her face turned a little unhappy, and she whispered to Jiang Tunan,
"Miss, I think this guy doesn't seem to be very willing to work for us."
Jiang Tunan: "I think so too."
Chunhua felt a little disappointed. She guessed that it might be because Jiang Tunan was just a cousin that his attitude was so perfunctory.
"It's okay, let's make the best of it."
Jiang Tunan whispered a few words of comfort, and Chunhua felt a little better.
"It's okay, Miss, I've got you!"
Seeing that the maid next to Jiang Tunan looked at him strangely, he felt a little strange, but it was not important to him. He yawned.
"Miss, I'll go guard the door then. Call me if you need anything."
He gave in and didn't wait for Jiang Tunan's answer, he just walked out of the yard.
"Miss, look at him!"
Chunhua was furious. This servant simply didn't take the young lady seriously.
"Let him go. We don't need him now anyway."
Jiang Tunan pulled Chunhua into the house and closed the door to isolate herself from the outside world.
......
In Yuxi Town, Xiao Mingli looked at Liang Chuanlong, whose hair was messy and whose beard was growing circles and circles, and smiled politely,
"Seventh Prince, long time no see."
In order to ensure that Ryokawa Sawaki could receive treatment as soon as possible, Ryokawa Taki did not dare to stop for a moment. He shortened the round trip journey, which would have taken several months, to just one month.
"Seventh Prince, may I ask if you have brought the Water Dragon Star Sword?"
Xiao Mingli's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes, as if reminding Liangchuan Taki that his brother Liangchuan Zemu was still in Daxing's hands.
"At this!"
Liangchuan Long's eyes were bruised, his clothes were a little dirty, and some places were torn. The Water Dragon Star Sword was a precious sword, and his father, who loved it like his life, would never let it go easily. In addition, the third prince tried to stop him, so he went through a fierce battle this time.
Xiao Mingli carefully examined the sword in Liangchuan Taki's hand and found that it was indeed the Water Dragon Star Sword.
"Seventh Prince, do you want to rest for a few days before setting off?"
Seeing the fatigue that could not be concealed between Liangchuan Taki's brows, Xiao Mingli patiently asked him about it. However, this was not done out of goodwill. It was just that Xiao Mingli felt that if Liangchuan Taki died suddenly on the road, it would be difficult to explain to Dayin's people.
It would be very funny if we saved Ryokawa Sawaki but exhausted Ryokawa Taki to death.
"No need! Leave immediately!"
Ryokawa Taki was in a hurry to return to Kyoto to see Ryokawa Sawaki. On the way, he also heard about some things that had happened in Kyoto before. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to stab Ryokawa Ikeaki a few times when the situation was bad. He dared to openly attack people in Kyoto, which meant he was disregarding Ryokawa Sawaki's life.
In particular, Liangchuan Taki heard that a young lady from Kyoto died in the explosion. If Emperor Daxing made things difficult for Liangchuan Sawaki because of this matter, he would have no power to resist at all, so he had to rush to Liangchuan Sawaki's side as soon as possible.
"Don't you need to treat your wound?"
Xiao Mingli looked at Liangchuan Taki's arm. The wound there had opened again, and the blood had dyed the white cloth wrapped around it red.
"nothing."
Liangchuan Long didn't care, this minor injury wouldn't kill him. Xiao Mingli shook his head helplessly, what a stubborn guy.
The news that Liangchuan Long had returned with the Water Dragon Star Sword soon reached Kyoto. After reading the memorials submitted by local officials, Baili Quan had a happy expression on his face.
"Great! The late emperor's last wish is finally going to be fulfilled."
Yuan Fu, Baili Quan's personal eunuch, saw that the emperor was in a good mood and his face was also beaming with joy.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Baili Quan stroked the edge of the paper and said,
"I remember that the girls' school is about to start, so why not combine the ceremony of welcoming back the sword with the opening ceremony. I also want to see what new faces have appeared in the Imperial College this year."
......
At the Anguo Mansion, Madam Xiao and Madam Ji were sitting in the garden chatting.
Mrs. Ji saw that Ji Xinhui seemed to be in a daze, so she asked,
"What are you thinking about? You've been distracted by me all day."
Madam Xiao rubbed her forehead and said in a light tone,
"Nothing, just daily chores."
"Humph, even if you don't tell me, I know what it is. It's about the girl who lives in your house."
Mrs. Ji picked up the teacup beside her and said with an unhappy expression,
"Xinhui, don't blame me for talking too much. Your husband is a little too nice to that girl. I heard that the girl will also go on this trip."
Ji Xinhui felt a bit of a headache. She didn't expect the news to reach the Anguo Mansion so quickly.
"I know, it's just a family outing, she went if she wanted to."
Madam Ji couldn't believe what she heard, and said with a look of disappointment,
"You are just a fool. You don't even know what some people in Kyoto are saying now. They all say that Xiao Huaimin treats that girl so well. Could it be that she is his illegitimate daughter outside?"
Ji Xinhui just thought it was a little funny. This rumor came out of nowhere.
"Sister-in-law, don't you know what kind of person my husband is? How could he have an illegitimate daughter outside?"
"Of course I know it's impossible, but others don't know that. I heard that Xiao Huaimin even let that girl go to the girls' school. You'd better be careful and don't let those people with bad intentions take advantage of you."
Madam Ji placed the teacup heavily on the stone table. Ji Xinhui laughed a few times when she saw it.
"Why are you so angry? I'm not angry at all. She's just a little girl. Besides, I've observed her these days and she really doesn't have the mind to get close to me. She's also very respectful to the boys in my family, especially Mingli. She avoids them."
Ji Xinhui picked up a piece of cake and gently put it into her mouth.
"Don't worry, that girl is quite clever. If I teach her well, I can tolerate her. Besides, her father did a favor to my husband. I can't argue with him."
Mrs. Ji was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Are you so sure that she doesn't want to marry into the Xiao family? What if Xiao Huaimin insists on your son marrying her? He has a stubborn mind and is capable of doing such a thing."
Ji Xinhui's face darkened.
"I won't let that happen."
Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xinhui with a worried look at first, then as if she had thought of something, her expression suddenly became intriguing.
"How about I test that girl again for you?"
Ji Xinhui had doubts in her eyes.
"what are you up to?"
"Don't worry about it, just leave it to me."
