Chapter 486: Robbery, the Mansion in Guiyun Lane, South City
"If you fail your mission and get scolded when you go back, what does it have to do with me? Won't my Fourth Master scold me?" Zhu Cheng didn't even look at He Zhuanglin. A deputy commander wanted to challenge him?
He Zhuanglin was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. The Fourth Prince looked kind, but the lackeys around him were extremely arrogant.
The crowd watching the excitement nearby realized that this was a robbery.
"Who is it? It's such a big show! Why are they fighting over it?" someone asked in confusion.
"Didn't I just say that? Jiang Youzhen, the top scorer in the provincial examination of our Tongzhou Prefecture, is a child prodigy of our Tongzhou Prefecture."
"The champion of Tongzhou Prefecture? Is he as good as the champion of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital? And he's a child prodigy. How old is he?"
"Only fifteen!"
"Wow! That's pretty young!"
Everyone was talking about it, and many people stopped to watch the excitement. So many people came with carriages, and it was obvious that they were wealthy families, and the scene was grand.
Zhu Cheng snorted coldly and was about to ask someone to move the luggage when he heard a commotion nearby.
"Xiaolang, you finally arrived in the capital. I called a carriage to pick you up!" At this time, several more carriages arrived. There was a person sitting in the first carriage, and he shouted Jiang Youzhen as soon as he arrived.
When the man jumped off the carriage, everyone saw that he was a man in tattered clothes, with messy hair and whose face could not be seen at all.
"Where did this beggar come from?" Zhu Cheng frowned as soon as he saw him. How could a beggar be worthy of competing with them for people?
"Third brother! How many carriages did you call? Hurry! Take me back to the mansion." Jiang Youzhen turned around without saying a word and went to support Shen and the others.
"Mom! Third brother is here to pick us up, let's follow him back." While Jiang Youzhen was speaking, he turned around and winked at Wen Ruyu.
"Brother! Help uncle and aunt get on the carriage!"
"Ah? Oh!" Wen Ruyu didn't dare to ask more and hurriedly did as he was told.
"Mr. Jiang!" Zhu Cheng and He Zhuanglin shouted in unison.
"Thank you very much, both of you. I have acquaintances in the capital and have prepared a carriage. Please go back and apologize to the Second Master and the Fourth Master for me. I will definitely visit them one day to express my apologies."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he had already stuffed Jiang Fugui and Shen into the carriage.
Are you kidding? After she arrived in the capital, she didn't want to have anything to do with the two princes. What are these two people planning? Do you think she doesn't know?
No matter what the news will spread in Beijing tomorrow, she has to avoid suspicion anyway.
Without saying anything, Ah San immediately found a few baggage carriers to help carry the luggage. Even though he didn't understand what was going on, he knew from the situation that this was a robbery!
"Brother Huai'an! Let's talk again when we have time!" Jiang Youzhen lifted the curtain, shouted outside, and then immediately put it down.
Tong Huaian shook his head and laughed, then he bowed to Zhu Cheng and He Zhuanglin, "You two should go back and report quickly! The two masters will not blame you."
"Let's go! Go back home!" Tong Huaian gave the order.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, life was not so peaceful anymore. Tong Huaian felt a little melancholy, but still looked determined.
He didn't care about the position of the crown prince, but he must not let it fall into the hands of that mother and son.
Nancheng Guiyun Lane
The carriage took more than half an hour to travel from the dock to South City. The dock was just outside South City, so you can imagine how big the capital is.
Everyone in the group was very excited, and Jiang Youzhen was also full of curiosity about the capital.
"Uncle Sixteen, the capital city is so big! Haven't we arrived yet? Didn't you just say that we were already in the South City?" Jiang Zhizhou was very curious and lifted the curtain to look outside the carriage.
From the beginning till now, this kid has never let down the curtain, and everything he sees seems new to him.
Just now, we passed by the South City Market, and the carriage took some time to take a detour. Because there were too many people in the market, if we wanted to go through the middle, it would definitely take a lot of time.
"We're here! Guiyun Lane is right ahead." Asan shouted.
The carriage had reached the entrance of the alley, but it did not stop. Instead, it continued to move inside.
"Although Guiyun Lane is in the south city, it is inhabited by wealthy families. There are many scholars here, especially. There are large houses inside, and the environment is quiet, so there is no need to worry about noise. Therefore, the houses here are not cheap. Xiao Langdang is really wealthy!"
Asan wanted to get into the carriage and talk to Jiang Youzhen, but Jiang Youzhen's parents were also there, as well as his two nephews. He was afraid that they would dislike him if he dressed like that.
He was inconsiderate. He should have changed the new clothes he had bought but never had the chance to wear. This was the first time that Ah San felt inferior.
"It seems that Third Brother has figured out everything here. Third Brother is really doing things properly!" Jiang Youzhen said with a smile.
"That's right! I have already found out about the neighbors nearby. I'll tell you when you are free." Asan was delighted when he heard Jiang Youzhen's praise.
Jiang Fugui glanced at Jiang Youzhen, and he finally remembered who that boy was. Wasn't he the little beggar he had seen in the town before? Why did he come to the capital now? He seemed to be doing something for his daughter.
"We're here! Get off the carriage!" Ah San shouted, and everyone got off one after another.
When Jiang Youzhen saw the big house, he immediately felt satisfied.
The solid wood door, which was only painted with varnish, was opened, and the screen wall inside could be seen at a glance. The door head alone looked spacious, with a high threshold and two stone lions placed on both sides of the door, which looked majestic.
However, the doors of people's houses in the Dayun Dynasty cannot be painted red, otherwise it will look more imposing.
A house with five courtyards is a symbol of wealth in this capital city where every inch of land is valuable.
"Wow! Uncle Sixteen, this house is really big! Look at the wall, it stretches out so far! Are we going to live here in the future? In such a big house?"
There was disbelief in Jiang Zhizhou and Xiao Niu's eyes. They had never seen such a big and luxurious house.
Jiang Zhizhou was a lively and likable person, and Jiang Youzhen didn't really restrict his personality, so it was inevitable that he was a little startled after arriving in the capital.
"Yes! Do you like it? Let's live in this house for the time being!" Jiang Youzhen smiled. It was just for the time being. After the palace examination next year, she must find a way to live in North City.
"Junior brother, this house is a good buy. It shows that your family is wealthy." Wen Ruyu was also surprised. Although he could not see the whole picture of the house when standing in front of the door, he could tell that the house was indeed big when he looked at the wall next to it.
"This must be the fifth one, right?" Jiang Fugui had really seen the world in the past two years, so he sighed.
"Congratulations, Master, Madam, and Young Master, on returning home!"
Suddenly, a lot of servants came out from behind the screen wall inside the door. They lined up in two rows, stood at the door, and saluted Jiang Youzhen and the others.
"Oh my! Are these all the servants of the mansion? Why are there so many?" Shen was shocked. There must be 20 or 30 of them? They are unnecessary, right?
Dou Zhun came up to him with a smile. In the past two years, he was assigned by Jiang Youzhen to inspect the industry. This time Jiang Youzhen was coming to Beijing, so he was called back to make arrangements in advance.
These servants were bought by Dou Zhun.
