Chapter 82 Participation
In front of the gorgeous Aoshan Mountain, Shen Changze and Cheng Jinchu led their two children and stood at the front of the crowd to watch it up close.
The family of four is harmonious and happy, which makes others envious.
It's an eyesore and a disappointment.
Jiang Shu lost interest and whispered to Yu Zheng, "Let's go down."
Yu Zheng didn't answer, just held her hand and walked back.
As soon as the two of them returned to the ground, a tall and handsome man in official uniform with a long sword on his waist saluted Yu Zheng: "There has been a kidnapping case on West Street, please be careful, Your Majesty."
Yu Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Just now I saw the Marquis of Jing'an and his son watching Aoshan Mountain."
The man was stunned: "Didn't Your Majesty order the son of Marquis Jing'an to spend a year in seclusion?"
Yu Zheng said: "Yes, I leave it to you."
The man nodded solemnly.
After walking some distance, Jiang Shu asked curiously: "Who was that adult just now?"
"The envoys in front of the palace are all in command, Zhou Boxu."
Jiang Shu was surprised: "You have become a commander at such a young age."
Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "He is five years older than me, and he is already thirty."
"That's very impressive. Mr. Zhou is really young and promising." Jiang Shu clicked his tongue.
Yu Zheng frowned, pursed his lips and said, "It's not peaceful in Beijing tonight, I'll take you back."
Jiang Shu wanted to refuse, but when she thought of Zhou Boxu's words just now, she swallowed the word 'no'.
No courtesy or trouble is as important as life.
The two of them walked to the end of the street and waited beside the carriage.
It was still the same carriage as last time, and Jiang Shu felt somewhat familiar with it.
"Go to Jiang's house." Yu Zheng ordered.
The wheels turned, and the sound of horse hooves clicking was very clear at night.
Yu Zheng was sitting in the main seat, and Jiang Shu was sitting on the side. The atmosphere was a little subtle and depressed.
Jiang Shu lifted the car curtain to get some air, and said in surprise, "It's snowing."
The snow is not falling heavily, but it is a bit urgent.
Jiang Shu raised his head and looked at the silvery snowflakes in the sky, falling from the deep and ink-like sky. It was extremely beautiful.
There was a lamp hanging on the wall of the car, and the dim candlelight reflected on Jiang Shu's innocent smiling face, making Yu Zheng raise the corners of his lips.
The displeasure he felt just now disappeared.
It's a pity that the road is too short, and it takes only a short time to reach Jiang's house.
Jiang Shu got out of the car and raised his hand to Yu Zheng: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for seeing me off. Next time Your Majesty goes to Cuiyun Tower for dinner, it will be mine."
Yu Zheng said: "Don't go home so late in the future, it's not safe."
Jiang Shu was slightly startled and explained: "I usually go home by carriage. Today, the coachman had something to do at home, so I asked him to leave first."
Yu Zheng nodded: "Go in."
After seeing Jiang Shu enter Jiang's house with his own eyes, Yu Zheng asked Zhufeng to turn around and go back home.
The next morning, Shen Changze was copied by Zhou Boxu.
He was accused of disobeying the imperial edict, taking his children out of the house to play in the streets on the Lantern Festival, and defying the imperial authority.
Shen Changze knelt down in fear to explain, but he could not hide the fact that he had taken his son out of the house.
The emperor was furious and beat Shen Changze twenty times.
After Shen Changze went to court, Huo Chong carried him into the Hou Mansion.
"How could this happen? Who did it?" Cheng Jinchu asked anxiously.
Shen Changze lay on the soft couch and said angrily: "Yesterday, I told Yan Yang that Yan Yang could not leave the house until he had fully considered his mistakes. You refused to listen and insisted on taking him out of the house. This is the consequence."
"How could the Holy One know?" Cheng Jinchu was puzzled.
When they returned to Beijing for the first time, they had never seen the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Thinking that Yan Yang and Yan Huan were bored after being locked up in the mansion for several months, they took them out of the mansion to see the excitement, but they never thought that they would cause trouble.
"Zhou Bexu, the conductor in front of the hall, saw it during his inspection. He was playing in the hall this morning. Hiss!" Shen Changze inhaled in pain.
The boards of the palace guards were made solidly without any moisture at all.
Cheng Jinchu was annoyed: "Why should he meddle in other people's business?"
Shen Changze said in a dull voice: "He grew up with the eldest princess and they have a deep friendship."
Cheng Jinchu was speechless, as they walked directly into his eyes.
Going to Beijing is really full of dangers, and nothing can go wrong.
"Watch Yan Yang more closely from now on and never step out of the house again." Shen Changze gritted his teeth and warned.
Yesterday, they were just taking a chance, thinking that since Shangjing is so big and there are so many people, no one would know if Yan Yang secretly left the house.
But it turns out that the emperor's eyes are everywhere in Beijing, and no one can escape his every move.
If there is a next time, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as getting slapped with a brick.
In Cuiyun Tower, Jiang Shu finished discussing things with Yu Yuan. She caught a glimpse of the Shu brocade worn by Yu Yuan. She asked casually: "Do you like Shu brocade very much? I see you have been wearing it all winter."
Yu Yuan got angry when he talked about this, threw away the peanuts in his hand and said, "You think I want to wear them? Brother Zheng forced me to make ten sets. What if I don't wear them?"
"Jiangji Silk Shop is also strange. Why is it suddenly selling Sichuan brocade?"
Jiang Shu was stunned and said briefly: "The silk merchant who cooperated broke his promise and cooperated with the Fang family instead, cutting off Jiang Ji's goods. He couldn't find a new source of goods, so he had to sell Shu brocade instead."
"Fang Mingxu's Fang family?" Yu Yuan asked.
Jiang Shu nodded and suddenly remembered that she had seen Yu Zheng several times, and it seemed that he was also wearing Shu brocade every time.
"You are really a bad guy who doesn't care about others." Yu Yuan spat contemptuously and put the account on Fang Mingxu's head.
Jiang Shu was amused by him and sighed softly: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. You and I are cheating and killing each other, all for their own benefit."
"Next time he comes to eat, I will kill him." Yu Yuan said angrily.
Jiang Shu didn't stop him. She didn't like Fang Mingxu either. She always felt that he was unfathomable and extremely dangerous.
Before the first month was over, Jiang's father went out to do business and left the Jiang family's property in the hands of Jiang Shu.
This move caused dissatisfaction between the Jiang family uncle and Jiang Shaohe, especially Jiang Shaohe, who was extremely unfair.
Because Jiang Yun framed Jiang Shu, Jiang's father took away two prosperous shops in Jiang Shaohe's hands, which greatly reduced Jiang Shaohe's income.
Now that Jiang Shu was asked to take care of the Jiang family's property, he was completely on guard against them as outsiders.
When the two of them were drinking and complaining in the tavern that day, Fang Mingxu appeared in front of them.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, do you mind if I sit down and have a drink with you?"
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shaohe, who was half drunk, was alert.
Fang Mingxu smiled and said, "Are you interested in helping you take charge of the Jiang family?"
Fang Mingxu smiled like a bad fox, but what he said was too tempting, so the two of them finally nodded.
The Jiang family has many properties, and Jiang Shu does not dare to take it lightly. He inspects each shop every day to understand the situation, and discusses and solves problems in a timely manner, which impresses the shopkeepers.
"If the girl were a man, there would be a successor to the Jiang family's huge industry."
"It's a pity, the girl will get married eventually."
Jiang Shu didn't hear these words and didn't care. She just wanted to do what Jiang's father asked her to do well.
In February, the weather gradually warmed up, and Mother Jiang looked at the buds on the treetops and counted the days.
"Your father has been gone for almost a month. He should be back in the next few days."
Jiang Shu rarely rested for half a day, basking in the sun and joking: "Mom misses dad?"
Jiang's mother said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just concerned about his safety."
Jiang Shu smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, dad has many years of experience in business, and he has enough servants to protect him. Everything will be fine."
Mother Jiang looked up at the sky, praying in her heart for Father Jiang's safe return as usual.
