A beautiful brocade box was delivered to Xu Qinghuan.
Anyi Marquis Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion have always had contacts. Guangping Marquis left his family in the capital when he was guarding the border. She and Guangping Marquis Zhao Muwei have known each other since childhood. After Muwei returned to Shaanxi, they exchanged letters.
It is also common to give gifts during the New Year holidays.
When she left for Fengxiang, she sent a letter to Mu Wei. Fengxiang was not far from Hanzhong, so maybe they had a chance to meet.
Qing Huan opened the box. Inside was just a beaded hairpin with precious stones hanging on it. It looked very precious and must have been made by a famous craftsman.
The steward of the Guangping Marquis Mansion waited for a long time, and then heard a question from the carriage: "Who asked you to send this?"
The mother in charge immediately said: "It's our eldest lady."
Xu Qinghuan closed the box. Every time she and Mu Wei met to exchange gifts, they were small items made by herself. She had never had such precious things. The manager obviously did not tell the truth.
The brocade box was handed out from the car window: "Take it back."
The mother in charge didn’t expect this to happen.
"Let's go." Xu Qinghuan ordered, and the carriage immediately drove forward.
The steward couldn't help but froze there. He had never seen such a battle before. Not only did he not accept the things, but he seemed to be angry. Miss An Yihou only said a few words and she broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly chased after him.
"Miss, our Marquis is going back to Beijing to report on his duties. Madam, Miss will also go to the capital."
There was no sound in the carriage.
"The eldest lady heard that you are here, let me tell you, if it is convenient for you and my wife, why don't you two go to Beijing together?"
After the steward said this, the curtain finally opened again, but the person leaning against the car window was the round-faced Feng Chu. While eating snacks, Feng Chu watched the steward trotting along with great interest.
The steward was out of breath from running, and Feng Chu ate more happily, waving to her from time to time.
The steward felt a suffocation in his chest and abdomen, which was indescribably uncomfortable.
Finally the carriage stopped, and the steward stepped forward out of breath and continued: "Our noble son just won the battle in Duogansi, and he came to Beijing this time to receive the honor."
This is the purpose of stewardship.
The person who gave this gift was probably the prince.
The Marquis of Guangping made great military exploits in Duogansi, which really caused quite a stir in the elite circle in the capital. The Marquis of Guangping was also said to be the most promising son among the nobles.
The chieftains of Duo Gansi were strong and strong, and they often deliberately provoked troubles, causing the local guards to suffer. The generals guarding the border, in addition to reporting good news to the court but not bad news, tried every means to reconcile with the chieftains, for fear of causing a bigger war.
The victory of Prince Guangping seemed to boost the military morale of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, good news came one after another from the northwest continent, and Duo Gansi became much more at ease.
After returning to Beijing in her previous life, Qing Huan heard her mother talk to her about the battle involving the Marquis of Guangping.
The deputy general under the command of Marquis Guangping colluded with Chieftain Duo Gansi to defect. Marquis Guangping led his men to pursue him but failed. Seeing that the situation was about to be over, the crown prince suddenly appeared with hundreds of people and drove Duo Gansi's troops to the important border garrison town.
Before, they almost massacred the army of more than 200 people, chopped off the heads of the Zhou rebel generals, and threw them on the city wall with silver spears.
Rumors began to spread on the border that the Marquis of Guangping had ordered Duo Gansi to kill one of the common people, and he would pay ten people back.
No matter what, the iron fist of Marquis Guangping really shocked Duo Gansi's defenders.
Both the Marquis of Guangping and the Crown Prince became very popular among the nobles.
At that time, my mother also said: "If your brother hadn't caused trouble, I wouldn't have said that your marriage would have been finalized by now."
Only then did she realize that Mrs. Hou Tai of Guangping had taken a fancy to her for a long time. The two families were family friends, and the Crown Prince of Guangping was also a talented person. Her grandmother had already made up her mind that she would officially bring up this matter when she was of age.
marriage.
It's a pity that the matter between father and brother caused the Anyihou Mansion to plummet, so the matter naturally went undisturbed.
Now my father and brother are fine, and everything seems to be back to the original path.
only……
She was destined to have no fate with the Prince of Guangping.
Even though he was a young hero, she really should have some admiration for him, but she just couldn't do it because this prince's life was too short.
If she remembered correctly, Prince Guangping would suddenly suffer a serious illness and die soon.
The Marquis of Guangping lost his beloved son, and his heart was filled with despair, so he decided to retire and asked to surrender his military power and return to Beijing to retire.
"Whether we can move forward together is up to my mother to weigh. Don't mention this again in the future," Xu Qinghuan said and ordered the coachman, "Let's go quickly. Mr. Wang Yun is still waiting in the Yamen."
The groom responded, and the horse pulling the carriage began to trot.
The steward of the Guangping Marquis Mansion was completely stunned. Did she say something wrong? For the sake of the good relationship between the two families, Miss Xu would not be like this... she would avoid it.
In the carriage, Xu Qinghuan fell into thinking.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Feng Chu couldn't help but ask. Every time the eldest lady looked like this, something bad seemed to happen.
"Perhaps people who died in the past will not die!"
Listening to the eldest lady uttering such words faintly, Feng Chu's body shivered like a mountain.
The carriage went farther and farther, and the steward's mother walked back to the street where she met Miss Xu. There was a carriage parked there.
"Second Master," said the mother in charge, "Miss Xu refuses to accept the things and does not listen to what the servants say. It is really not polite for us to do this. All ladies will not pay attention to it."
"Maybe I was wrong," Zhao Qi's eyes dimmed, "I came to Fengxiang and heard that Miss Xu had solved the Cao family's case, so I thought I could ask her for help with our family's affairs.
It seems that I am delusional."
…
As soon as the Xu family's carriage arrived in Fengxiang, Xu Qing'an urged the horse to come over. He was relieved when he saw that his sister was safe and sound.
"I will definitely go with you next time."
Seeing her brother's nervous look, Xu Qinghuan nodded.
Sun Chong also led people forward.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I found the tax money and caught the person who transported the money. It's a pity..." I had a quick fight with that person, but I couldn't be sure that he was the person who manipulated the entire case.
When Sun Chong heard that he had found the tax money, his face was filled with smiles.
This is already a great victory. I didn't expect that a mystery case that had been going on for many years would be solved like this.
"Where is Mr. Xu San?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Sun Chong immediately said: "I was just escorted to the Yamen. Mr. Wang Yun asked me to invite the eldest lady to go to the Fengxiang Mansion Yamen. We are not very clear about some of the details. I would like to trouble the eldest lady to help explain the case."
The carriage stopped at Fengxiang Mansion Office, and Feng Chu helped Xu Qinghuan out of the carriage.
"Is Miss Xu anxious because she didn't find out the mastermind?" Li Xu's voice came, "Maybe I know the reason."
Xu Qinghuan stopped and turned to look at Li Xu.
Li Xu's eyebrows relaxed, and his expression became a little more calm. Whenever he showed such an expression, it showed that he was very sure of what he was about to say.
