On the eve of the sealing ceremony, all government offices in Luyan Port were busy preparing for tomorrow's ceremony, and there were patrols of sergeants everywhere in the city.
In order to prevent the tragedy of the old King Qinghe being assassinated on the way to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony from happening again, Yin Liuxuan even removed thousands of sergeants from the naval camp and gathered in the city, together with the coastal defense camp and the palace guards for patrols.
The grand event that she had been looking forward to for a long time finally arrived, but Chu Nanzhi became more and more nervous that day.
After receiving the seal tomorrow, she will officially become the princess of Binning Palace, a legitimate royal relative, and there will be no way out from now on.
Although the king's women enjoy great honors, they are also accompanied by countless hardships and dangers. This has been the case throughout the ages, especially in this era of constant disputes.
If Lin Jinxiao loses power, he will also become a prisoner.
She kept telling herself to be more cautious in the coming days.
This nervous mood lasted until the evening. She was absentmindedly supervising the little ones in the room as they reviewed the recent homework of the two old professors. A sudden figure made her withdraw from her thoughts.
"Sister-in-law, go and take a look. The tribesmen are making trouble in the new restaurant."
Hearing the voice, Chu Nanzhi stared intently at his sister-in-law Lin Jinhui, who was walking quickly, and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"It was said that shopkeeper Sang Kun was planning to let Chu Ting from Tong'an Village take charge of the new restaurant. Everyone disagreed, so they went over and started a quarrel."
Lin Jinhui replied urgently.
"Is that the reason?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled disapprovingly.
Fourth uncle Lin Fen's old restaurant is about to open after being renovated. However, she has already given full authority to Sang Kun to handle this matter. Although the Lin family members invested money, she also had the initiative to run everything.
decision.
I didn't know that these Lin clan members would go back on their word.
Thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that I am dissatisfied with a woman being the manager of a restaurant.
Just at this moment, Lin Jinxiao walked in on crutches. Hearing the servants mention this matter, he directly ordered the little treasures: "You four, accompany your mother to have a look."
Dabaolin Ruiwen was very angry about this matter. He grabbed Chu Nanzhi's hand and asked angrily: "Auntie, why are they not willing to let Sister Ting be the shopkeeper? We have met Sister Ting many times in Qinghefang. She is smart and smart.
, everyone in the restaurant likes her very much, I think she is quite suitable to manage the new restaurant."
"Well, mother feels the same way."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile, but looked at Lin Jinxiao carefully. Since he went to the restaurant yesterday, he has been restless since he came back, as if he was hiding something, and now he wants the little treasures to accompany him.
When we went to a new restaurant together, I always felt that he was doing it deliberately.
"Go ahead, there's no need to look good on them."
Lin Jinxiao held her hand and said with a warm smile: "The restaurant is your hard work. If you don't settle well, you won't be at ease when you enter Beijing."
"You are very concerned about this matter today."
Chu Nanzhi stared at him intently, wanting to see what the pretty boy wanted to do.
"My husband will have to rely on my wife's business to support the family in the future, so naturally I have to be more considerate."
Lin Jinxiao pushed her out jokingly, and then asked the babies and Lin Jinhui to help her out.
After the mother and son left, he ordered the military commander Zhang Yu to invite Ji Cen'an to his residence.
After having the tea poured and the door closed, Lin Jinxiao did not mince words and said bluntly: "This time my wife comes to Beijing, I am always uneasy and want to trouble Cen An to do something for me."
"Brother Jinxiao, why are you so open-minded? The friendship between you and me is not just one thing, but even if it is a hundred things, I will do my best to complete it for you."
Ji Cen'an looked at him with some confusion, and asked carelessly: "Brother Jinxiao, what can I ask of you, but please give me your instructions."
"The fastest way to and from Jingling City is naturally via Langzhou. I heard that the Governor of Langzhou is about to retire and return to his hometown. Is there anyone who can replace the vacant general?"
Lin Jinxiao did not answer directly, but asked cautiously.
Hearing him mention this matter, Ji Cen'an couldn't help but be stunned, and carefully replied: "Langzhou and Pingningzhou are connected, and they are also a barrier for Jinling City. Since Brother Jinxiao finalized the vassal affairs, Langzhou has
The selection of the governor of the state is highly controversial, and all forces want to deploy personnel to guard against Brother Jinxiao, but until now, I am afraid there is no conclusion."
"very good."
Lin Jinxiao smiled and said: "I remember that when I entered the capital, your brother Ji Rongheng was already a cavalry general and in charge of the capital's military guards. Your brother has always been clean and self-sufficient and has not been involved in party strife. I admire him very much. This time I want brother Cen An."
After returning to Beijing, I asked Brother Rong Heng to continue impeaching me to the court."
"Impeach you?"
Ji Cen'an took a sip of tea slowly and showed a puzzled look on his face: "Why is this? How can a good brother be brought into disrepute? Besides, my brother has made outstanding achievements since he took office. What can be impeached?"
Two days ago, he was grateful to his brother and sister-in-law for Ji Wanying's matter, and vowed to boast that he owed her a favor and asked the Ji family to repay her. Wouldn't this embarrass himself and create obstacles for his brother and sister-in-law to enter the capital.
"Although I have some weak merits, I am just relying on His Majesty's love."
Lin Jinxiao looked at Ji Cen'an who was confused and explained calmly: "Relying on the Emperor's Sword given by His Majesty, I have been acting arbitrarily during this period, killing without permission, and leading people into the post house for my own personal gain."
He disrespected the imperial concubine, he almost killed Princess Wanying two days ago, and he disrespected the royal family. Brother Cen An has to tell Brother Rong Heng everything about this."
"this"
Ji Cen'an was even more embarrassed: "My brother didn't do all this for his own selfishness. Everyone saw it. She was the one to blame for what happened to Wanying. What does this do to our Ji family in the future?"
See my brother and sister-in-law."
"You don't need to mention this matter to my wife."
Lin Jinxiao's smile gradually turned deeper: "It's better to let her take care of me in Beijing."
Ji Cen'an was still unwilling to do such an unjust thing. Just as he was about to refute it again, Lin Jinxiao waved his hand resolutely: "Just follow what I said. Cen An, you must handle this matter for me. I will
If I have the chance to come to Beijing, I’ll have a drink with you and have a good time.”
Ji Cen'an had a sad face and was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
There was no reason to ask for forgiveness for oneself. He had never seen anyone make such an exorbitant request in his life.
But looking at the sincere look on his face, I couldn't resist him in the end, so I had to nod hard: "Okay, I will definitely handle this matter for my brother, and I will never let you down."
The last few words were deliberately accentuated to show his confusion and dissatisfaction.
Lin Jinxiao didn't want to explain to him at this time. He was worried that his wife would be suspicious when she came back and spoil his plan, so he personally escorted Ji Cen'an out of the mansion in a hurry.
Returning to his room, he once again considered in his mind the risks that Chu Nanzhi and Xiaobao might encounter wherever they went on their way back.
If you take the land route, Langzhou is the most visited prefecture and county. As long as Ji Rongheng can be made the governor of Langzhou, even if he is unwilling to protect the mother and children, at least he will not hand them over to the Tang family or to the Tang family.
