Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 319 Returning to Beijing
The Songjia Village representatives came to Beijing in great spirits.
It is the most beautiful April in the world. Wild flowers are blooming on the roadside, willows are swaying in the wind, pedestrians are coming and going, and stalls selling water and tea are set up under the shade of trees from time to time.
There were vast expanses of emerald green wheat fields in the fields. The people of Songjia Village pointed at the wheat fields and commented on which fields had the best crops and which fields had no weeds.
"Look, this family must be hardworking. There's not a single weed to be seen in the fields."
"Oh my, this family is so lazy! Look at the weeds, they've eaten up the wheat seedlings. They only see weeds and no seedlings. Isn't this a disaster for the crops?"
"That's right. If this happened in our village, Old Fifth would have come to our house and scolded us long ago."
"It's more than just cursing. The old patriarch has to use all the clan rules and family laws."
Everyone was pointing and chattering, as if they were on a spring outing, with the breeze and warm sunshine accompanying them, it was so pleasant.
Little did they know that there were several people secretly following their convoy.
In the capital city.
The tension caused by the forced abdication was replaced by excitement and liveliness, because the Duke of Zhenguo destroyed the Nuhan Kingdom and was about to escort the captives back to the capital in triumph.
"Have you heard? The Duke of Zhenguo destroyed the Nuhan Kingdom."
"Of course I heard that the arrogant King of Nuhan Kingdom was killed. It's really a relief."
"Yes, I've been eating well these past two days. Thinking about how arrogant the envoys from the Nuhan Kingdom were ten years ago, I'm so happy now."
Yes, when the envoys of the Nuhan Kingdom came to Beijing, those who experienced it still have lingering fears.
That year, the envoys from the Nuhan Kingdom were tall and strong, with full beards and eyes like eagles. The bandits in Cangwu were more handsome than them.
They shouted at everyone they met:
The warriors of our Nuhan Empire can ride their horses and gallop freely across the grasslands, while you, the people of Cangwu, can only huddle in the city, relying on high walls to protect yourselves. Cangwu is nothing but a weak country!
The brave man from Cangwu was not convinced and argued with them, but was beaten until his head was bleeding.
Because Cangwu had just experienced civil unrest and natural disasters at that time, they really didn't dare to have another war, so in the end they could only endure all the grievances and apologize to the people before they were sent away.
"Bah! Wasn't it true that even such a powerful Nuhan Kingdom was wiped out by our Duke Zhenguo?"
"That's right, the Duke of Zhenguo is mighty!"
On the day when the soldiers returned triumphantly, the streets of the capital were crowded with people, and the restaurants and teahouses along the street were packed, all of which were reserved by the women of wealthy families.
The girls were dressed up in fancy clothes.
They came to welcome the triumphant soldiers, but more importantly, they came to see the young and promising Duke Zhenguo.
You know, although the name of the Duke of Zhenguo is known to everyone, not many people really understand him. At most, they have met him once. After all, he left home at a young age and later joined the military camp. In the capital, he didn't even have a childhood playmate.
Therefore, the young, mysterious and unmarried Duke Zhenguo attracts more attention from girls.
I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo is not engaged yet, and I don’t know which girl is lucky enough to catch the Duke of Zhenguo’s eye.
Cui Zixuan had instructed the servants early on to book a room on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street, and sat by the window to welcome her brother Mo.
On the other side of the teahouse, the Princess of Danyang County was whispering with a girl in red.
"I heard that Princess Kangning went to the military camp to look for the Duke of Zhenguo. Why didn't she come back with him?"
"Ah? Princess Kangning actually went to the military camp? No wonder I haven't seen her these days. Is she with the Duke of Zhenguo? Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I heard with my own ears that the Grand Princess and my mother discussed that they were in love and wanted to ask His Majesty to grant them a marriage."
"Ah? Does that mean they will be married when the Duke of Zhenguo returns to the capital this time?"
"Of course,"
Through the mouth of the Princess of Danyang County, the news that Su Mo and County Lord Kangning were to be married by the Emperor suddenly spread in the teahouse.
The beautiful girl had already been taken, and the girls' hearts were broken before Su Mo even entered the city.
The gates of the imperial city were opened, firecrackers were set off, and drums and music played.
"Look, the Duke of Zhenguo is coming and has passed the city gate."
Su Mo was dressed in military uniform, riding a tall horse, followed by twelve guards. Behind him were seventeen or eighteen prison carts escorted by Yiming and Cheng Yuan, and the captives with their hands bound.
In the end, those who followed closely were the envoys from the small countries on the border who were frightened by Su Mo.
The Nuhan Kingdom was their leader. After the demise of the Nuhan Kingdom, these countries quickly contacted Su Mo and expressed their willingness to be tributary to Cangwu, pay tribute and taxes every year, and submit to him.
So when they returned to the capital this time, the envoys from these small countries also brought cattle, sheep and horses, and came to pay homage to His Majesty Cangwu with full sincerity.
There is no other way. Am I just waiting to be wiped out?
"Hurry, hurry, bring me the purse I made. I want to throw the wedding cake."
Wedding cakes are a kind of sweet wheaten food. Originally, common people at the border areas made them as a gift to soldiers returning from triumph to fill their stomachs.
After the tradition spread to the capital, wedding cakes became smaller and smaller. The small and exquisite wedding cakes not only represented the girls’ love, but more importantly, their respect and gratitude.
"Wow, the Duke of Zhenguo is so majestic, but why are there so many prisoner carts? Look, the young general escorting the prisoner carts is also very handsome."
Since the beauty Zhenguogong is already taken, they can just find another one.
Yiming looked at the flying purse, smiled, and picked it up with his spear, and the purse was hung on the tip of the spear.
"it is good"
The people on the roadside cheered.
"I want to vote for that young general too." a little girl shouted.
So, Yiming was surrounded by a rain of purses. She was in a good mood and played a trick of grabbing flowers. She strung all the purses on the silver spear in her hand without missing a single one.
"Wow..." The applause was thunderous.
Yiming has won the hearts of many girls.
Su Qi: "Master, Yiming is stealing your limelight."
Su Kui: "What are you accusing me of? It's normal for her to be liked because she's a girl."
Su Ba: "She is just trying to steal her master's limelight. Ask the girl who threw the wedding cakes if she knows whether Yiming is a boy or a girl?"
Su Shi: "Why do I think you guys are jealous of General Yiming?"
Su Qi: "No, this is not a wedding cake. Don't even mention that they didn't vote for me. Even if they did, I wouldn't care."
As he spoke, he didn't forget to grab a purse, took out a wedding cake and threw it into his mouth, "Hmm, too sweet, how much sugar is in this?"
The Twelve Guards were engaged in a verbal battle.
Su Mo rode on his horse, looking left and right, eagerly waiting. Where was his little girl?
Su Kui, a man of great intelligence, noticed his master's anomaly and consoled him, saying, "The princess wasn't among the officials welcoming us, and it's even more impossible for her to appear in the teahouse. She must be waiting for us in the court."
Su Mo: Of course I know, but I still want to look up and see his little girl.
Song Jinxiu was originally going to welcome the triumphant Su family army today.
Even if she didn't have this relationship with Su Mo, the soldiers fighting for the country were worthy of her going out of the city gate to welcome them.
However, today, as soon as she left the house, she realized something was wrong. She quickly asked Aunt Chang to ask for leave for her, and then she went straight into her room and refused to come out.
