The betrothal gift convoy from the Dongjiang Palace arrived in Nanyuan, setting off a wave of onlookers.
Dozens of large carts, one connected to the other, were filled with betrothal gifts. The escorting guards were all upright and high-spirited, which attracted the admiration of the people.
Sure enough, it is the Dongjiang Prince's Mansion. This style is really extraordinary. The eldest lady has made a good match!
From now on, Dongjiang Nanyuan will be in-laws, and they will help each other. Who else dares to bully them easily?
The common people are simple-minded, and what they want in these troubled times is their personal safety. There is a lot of chaos outside, especially when many refugees have come from Yingtian County these days, and some people are panic-stricken, fearing that they will be affected by the war. Dongjiang has a large territory and is rich, so it has
Such allies give them a lot of peace of mind.
Behind the ceremonial car, there were prison cars one after another. The leader was a tall and strong man. Even though he was shackled and scarred, he was still very fierce.
The people looked at each other in shock and talked about it.
"Who is this? Where did the prisoner come from?"
That's right, wasn't he hired from the East Prince's Mansion? Why are you still bringing prisoners with you?
Suddenly a sharp shout rang out from the crowd: "Die, evil thief!"
A woman squeezed out, holding a rotten egg in her hand, and smashed it against the prison car.
With a "pop" sound, the rotten egg hit the first prisoner, splashing egg liquid all over his face, emitting a stench.
Immediately afterwards, several more people squeezed out from the crowd, and rotten leaves, clods of soil, and cow dung eggs flew towards him and the prisoners behind him, smashing and cursing them.
A white-haired mother-in-law scolded and cried to the people around her: "We are all from Yingtian County. These are bandits who have killed thousands of people. Many people were beaten to death by them, and their food rations were also robbed by them."
, if we hadn’t met the third young lady, how would we have survived to get here! My eldest brother, please give me my eldest son’s life! Wuwuwu..."
Another woman also wiped away her tears: "My boss was also killed by them. These thieves should be cut to pieces!"
Everyone heard that they were the same enemy, so they followed suit and smashed whatever they had in their hands, leaving these bandits in a miserable state.
When the prison car passed by, there was a large car behind it, with guards in bright armor standing next to it.
The refugees who had settled down quickly stopped and knelt down one after another, kowtowing and shouting: "Thank you Third Miss for saving your life, thank Third Miss..."
The big car didn't stop, and no one responded. It just drove past quietly.
The common people soon learned the story from the refugees: "We were lucky. On the way, we met the third lady who went to pick people up. She killed all the bandits and gave us dry food to eat on the way. The third lady was so kind and kind to us.
I will remember it for the rest of my life.”
The people of Nanyuan were proud and proud: "It turns out to be the third lady, no wonder! Our third lady is so powerful. Wu Zijing defeated Yongcheng and wanted to bully us, but the third lady beheaded him with a knife.
Even His Majesty specially issued an edict to grant rewards. What is the title? Oh, Yongjia County Lord!"
Some elderly people also lamented: "Speaking of which, the third lady was just a slut when she was a child. She led a group of young ladies of the same age everywhere to cause trouble every day. She was even more coquettish than those young men. I didn't expect that now she is powerful and reliable. Tsk tsk, she has grown up as expected.
Oh, there is no such thing as a tiger girl!"
"Yes, I was worried earlier that if you don't have a son, you will be bullied in the future..."
"Don't mention these words anymore. Ten young men from other people's families may not be worth one third lady. Just ask them, do they dare to kill Wu Zijing?"
"Hahaha, what I'm saying is that the third lady is here, let's relax!"
…
The ceremonial car from Dongjiang Prince's Palace arrived, and the Governor's Office was busy around it. The carriage just arrived at the second gate quietly.
"Princess, we're here." Xu Yin called softly.
Princess Changning raised her head, feeling a little frightened. She couldn't help but pull her sleeves in: "Am...will I bring you trouble?"
Xu Yin smiled slightly: "What did the princess say? Didn't you run to Nanyuan in a critical moment out of trust in me? Friends should treat each other with sincerity. If I were to go to the princess for help today, you would definitely not
Hesitant, right?"
Princess Changning nodded slowly. When she escaped from the capital, the road ahead was unclear and she had no one to guide her. Coming to Nanyuan was her instinctive choice.
"Come, let's get off the car together." Xu Yin stretched out his hand to support her.
Under her gentle soothing voice, Princess Changning calmed down, held her hand and stepped out of the carriage.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the garden was lush and green. It was the peace and tranquility she had not seen for a long time.
Standing next to the carriage was a beautiful woman who was slightly older than them. Her appearance was surprisingly similar to Xu Yin's, but her temperament was more demure and feminine.
Princess Changning recognized it without thinking. This must be Xu Yin's sister, Miss Xu, right?
"Sister." Sure enough, Xu Yin called her like this.
Xu Si smiled back and looked at Princess Changning with some confusion: "This is..."
Xu Yin replied: "This is Miss Gao, whom I met in Beijing. She went back to her hometown to visit relatives with her elders, but she got separated in the mountains and lost her way. I happened to meet the bandits and brought her back."
Xu Si felt a little strange when he heard this. Then he received his sister's look and smiled calmly: "So that's the case. It's really a coincidence. Since we are so destined, Miss Gao can stay at our house with peace of mind for the time being and help later."
You look for your lost family."
Princess Changning replied with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Thank you."
Xu Yin said: "Sister, thanks to Miss Gao taking care of me in Beijing, I didn't expect to meet again in Nanyuan. It's such an unexpected joy. There is no need to prepare a guest house or anything like that. Let her live with us, okay?"
"
Naturally, Xu Si would not object and led them back to Qushui Pavilion.
As for Jin Shu Dan Mo and others, they have also been properly placed.
Princess Changning was very frightened along the way. Now that she finally arrived at a safe place, and with an acquaintance like Xu Yin here, she finally calmed down.
Xu Yin accompanied her to wash and change clothes, had lunch together, watched her sleep, and then came out to talk to Xu Si.
"Ayin, who is this?"
Xu Yin made a silent gesture and asked softly: "Where is father?"
"Of course I went to entertain the envoys. It should be almost done now."
Xu Yin nodded and took his sister's hand: "We will talk about it after we go see our father."
Xu Huan was looking through the gift list at this moment, and he was muttering in his heart. The betrothal gift from the Dongjiang Palace was very grand, but the person who came claimed to be just a deputy envoy, which was extremely weird. When he asked the reason, the other party said that the third lady would explain it himself.
What do you want to explain? Could it be that A Yin caused trouble again?
Just as I was thinking about it, their sisters arrived.
"Father!" Xu Yin opened the door and came in, "I have something big going on here. Be prepared, but don't be scared."
