Quick Wear: I Became the Savior of the Doomsday
Chapter 90 Returning to Beijing
The mother and daughter had very few things, because Liang Jin's death was not harmonious with the people in his family. Not to mention how many of the rumors were spread by those family members, just the good farmland taken away by Liang Jin after his death on the grounds that he had no successor, and the rice, grain and money taken away in the name of borrowing, which was actually no different from robbery, which one was not enough to make the mother and daughter hate it.
So there were not many people who needed to say goodbye. Liang Meijing simply packed up and then helped Liang Jiangshi and Zhong Suhan leave.
Jiao Liu'er knew how difficult it was for an orphan and a widow to survive in such a world, so on the way out of the village she affectionately hugged Liang Jiang's other arm, calling her sister-in-law all the time. The smile on her face was brighter than the sun and more beautiful than the flowers, attracting many people in the village to look at her sideways.
The brave ones asked directly: "Liang Jin's family, who are these people? Where are you going?"
Zhong Suhan glanced at Liang Meijing, and after hearing the latter whisper that he was his uncle, he clasped his fists to him and said, "I am Zhong Suhan, a fellow brother of Liang Jin. Today I am here to pick up my sister-in-law and niece to go to Kyoto. Time is tight, so please ask your uncle to say goodbye to the other members of the clan on my behalf, Luo Kuan."
Luo Kuan walked up with a smile and gave him a silver dollar. After saying a few polite words, he led his horse and caught up with Zhong Suhan and the others.
How the villagers viewed and told this matter is a story for later, so we will not discuss it here. Let’s just say that after Zhong Suhan picked up Liang Meijing and Liang Jiang, he rushed all the way to Kyoto. Three months later, the Shogun’s Mansion in Kyoto finally welcomed its owner.
After Wen Yubai rewarded Zhong Suhan with the house, Zhong Suhan never came back, so he could only find a housekeeper to manage the general's mansion on his behalf.
Zhong Suhan stood at the door and looked up at the plaque hanging above. On the plaque, there were five large characters "Zhenyuan General's Mansion" written in a flamboyant style, with vigorous and powerful strokes, and one could vaguely tell of the pine and bamboo spirit contained in them.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile unconsciously. She had seen such words many times in the past ten years. The former Crown Prince and now the Emperor had written to her many times.
The contents of the letters might be discussing state affairs, or talking about the new weapon designs she had given, or simply complaining about trivial matters such as the ministers in the court being nagging and disobedient, or the imperial kitchen making food he didn't like.
She would also reply to the contents of the letter one by one and describe the scenery of the places she visited. When she showed off, His Majesty would often complain about her ugly handwriting in the next letter and order her to practice calligraphy in retaliation.
Thinking of this, Zhong Suhan couldn't help but chuckle twice. Her Emperor was really childish and cute sometimes.
When the housekeeper knew that Zhong Suhan was coming back, he took the servants to clean the yard. Then on the day she was scheduled to return, he led everyone to wait at the door.
Seeing the general dismounting and looking at the plaque with a chuckle, although he was confused, he did not go forward to disturb him. He waited until the other party's eyes fell on him before he stepped forward to salute, introduced himself, and introduced several servants in the family who often appeared in front of the master.
After taking note of it, Zhong Suhan handed all the household affairs to Jiao Liu'er, and took Ming Qiu to the palace to meet the emperor. They hadn't seen each other for ten years, and didn't know how the emperor was doing.
Knowing that she was back, Wen Yubai began to look forward to meeting her early on. For a time, he didn't even have the energy to deal with government affairs, and simply went to the Imperial Garden to feed the koi and wait for others to come.
It was early spring when Zhong Suhan set out, and it was early summer when he arrived in Kyoto. The weather had already become slightly warm. He walked through the quiet paths, crossed the curved bee-waist bridge, and bypassed one rockery after another. He saw a handsome man standing on the bow of a boat supported by Taihu stones.
The man was wearing a dark green round-necked brocade robe embroidered with large dark peonies, and a belt embroidered with black jade was buckled around his narrow waist. His hair was neatly bound behind his head with a lotus hair crown. He sat lazily and elegantly on the armchair, casually throwing the fish food in his hand into the lake.
There are quite a few carps in the lake, each of them is fat and huge, the largest one is as long as an adult's arm, but the most eye-catching ones are probably the few crucian carps among them.
Zhong Suhan looked from Wen Yubai's face to his waist, then from his waist to his hands, and finally his sight fell on the crucian carps, and his eyes twitched.
If she remembered correctly, she remembered that these crucian carp were wild crucian carp that she had caught when she went to Beijing to work as an official a few years ago.
"Your Majesty, Captain Zhong has arrived." Huang Ying spoke softly to Wen Yubai, and replaced the tea in his hand with hot one.
Wen Yubai looked up and saw Zhong Suhan standing there staring at the carp in front of him, oh no, at the crucian carp. He found it funny for a moment, threw the bait down casually, and took a sip of the hot tea.
"Your Majesty, are you well?" Zhong Suhan stepped forward and saluted. Normally, one could not look directly at the emperor's true face, but she had not seen him for ten years and every time she asked him about his health he always said he was fine. This made her very worried, so she mustered up the courage to take a closer look.
Apart from not looking very healthy and being a little thinner, there was nothing unusual.
Different from what she saw, Ming Qiu saw the deathly aura lingering around Wen Yubai. His insides were already rotten, and he had been busy with government affairs and striving for the throne in recent years. He had not been able to take good care of his body, and he was afraid that he would not live for many years.
It looked up at Zhong Suhan. There was a faint smile on her face, and the smile went straight to her eyes. It was obvious that she was very happy to see someone.
Ming Qiu swallowed the news that the little emperor would not live long, and obediently stayed in her arms like a little black rabbit, asking for a touch.
"Your Majesty seems to be in good health." Zhong Suhan smiled and sat down beside him, picking up a grape. "Every time you wrote to me, you said you were fine. I thought you were fooling me."
"I am the king of a country. Do I need to fool a mere lieutenant like you?" Wen Yubai suppressed his cough, drank a few sips of hot tea, and barely endured the itch emanating from his chest.
The early summer wind was hot. He looked at the willow branches swaying in the wind in the distance and thought of his wife at home. He remembered that when she said she was going to be a military prostitute, he was unhappy for a long time.
"Have you visited the General's Mansion? If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell Yun Su and he will ask someone to make arrangements. And your... is she good to you? From the look of you, I know that you will be controlled by your wife. If she is not good to you, just tell me and I will find you a new wife."
Zhong Suhan knew that he was still upset with her because she didn't listen to him and married Jiao Liu'er, so he thought this man was even more adorable. He couldn't help but laugh twice and asked the palace servant for a handful of bait to feed the fish.
"Jiao Liu'er is very good. She has handled the interpersonal relationships and trivial matters in the family very well in the past few years. She has also been very sincere to me. But I... have let her down in some way."
Did he let her down? Wen Yubai's curiosity suddenly became aroused. Just as he was about to ask this person, he changed the subject and asked him why he didn't eat these crucian carps.
"I don't like eating fish, so I just like raising fish, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, whatever you like is fine."
