There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 693

[Chapter 693, Stealing the limelight]

Mid-February is the death day of the ancient mother-in-law, so Daohua did not go back to Beijing with the Yan family, but waited for the death day to pass, and then walked slowly to the capital with Gu Jian.

There were not many opportunities to travel far in ancient times. Daohua cherished this trip very much, and was not in a hurry to go to Beijing. Instead, she and Gu Jian stopped and wandered around, as if she was traveling.

On the third day after Daohua and Gu Jian left, a group of majestic cavalry came to Taohua Village.

Xiao Yeyang dismounted from his horse, and ran towards the top of Peach Blossom Mountain in big strides. When he rushed into Peach Blossom Temple, the house was already empty, and only two villagers were cleaning it.

Knowing that Daohua and Gu Jian had only left for two days, Xiao Yeyang regretted that he couldn’t do it. After offering incense to Granny Gu, he hurriedly took his hands to chase after them. Unfortunately, Dao Hua and Gu Jian were not encountered until the army returned to Beijing with the class teacher.

The Yan family and his party entered Beijing in mid-February.

Yan Zhigao came to the capital to live once, and knew where his house was, so he took his family and went straight to Dongjiao Street without waiting for someone to pick him up.

When they arrived at the gate of Yan Mansion, Yan Wenxiu and his wife who received the news were already waiting in front of the gate.

Mrs. Li helped Mrs. Yan out of the carriage and looked around the mansion. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were quite satisfied.

Old Madam Yan smiled and said: “Although it is not as big as Ningmen Mansion, but it is more grand.”

Madam Li said with a smile: “The location of Tianjia is naturally more precious than other places.” Said, holding Old Madam Yan’s arm After entering the mansion, both of them didn’t care about being tired, and visited the backyard with great interest.

Compared with the backyard of the Ningmen Mansion, the courtyards in the capital are much smaller. There are many people in the family. Han Xinran did not dare to distribute the yards at will. He only tidied up the old lady’s yard and the main courtyard. The others are all waiting. Mrs. Li is here to arrange.

After Mrs. Li knew about it, she left the most exquisite courtyard to her daughter without any hesitation or consideration. You know, their family was able to get this house because of their daughter’s favor.

As for Yan Yishuang, Yan Yihuan, and Yan Yile, since there were not many yards, they were allowed to live in the same yard.

Regarding this point, Yan Yishuang was naturally somewhat dissatisfied, but her dissatisfaction was more aimed at sisters Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile.

Yan Yi sat in the upper room angrily, watching the maids pack up her things, and glanced at the busy figures in the east and west rooms, feeling a little panicked.

If the second and fourth sisters didn’t come to the capital, the eldest sister would definitely not have the same yard with her, so she would have her own yard.

Now I can only live in the same yard with other people, and people watch me when I go in and out, it’s so annoying!

While the female relatives were packing up, Yan Zhigao hurried to report to the household department after a two-day rest.

When Xie Xingteng, Minister of the Household Department, met Yan Zhigao, he didn’t make things difficult for him, but he wasn’t very friendly, so he casually assigned him an idle errand, and asked someone to take him down.

Yan Zhigao knew that he would be marginalized to some extent when he first came to the household department, but he didn’t care too much, and went to get acquainted with the household department after receiving the errand.

As soon as they left, Sun Chang, another servant of the household department, came in and looked at the minister of the household department in puzzlement: “My lord, Yan Zhigao is appointed by the emperor, will you do this?”

Sun Chang was Hubu Shangshu was single-handedly pulled up, and Hubu Shangshu would reveal some gossip about his right-hand man.

Hubu Shangshu smiled and shook his head: “Although the emperor values the Yan family, it is not easy for the Yan family to gain a foothold in the capital. Do you know that Yan Zhigao’s achievements in the Ningmen Mansion are actually worth a year?” He should have been transferred to Beijing before, but he didn’t, why do you think this is?”

Sun Chang’s face was stunned: “Someone is suppressing the Yan family?” The

Secretary of the Household Department smiled mysteriously: “Being an official in the capital It’s not just about being able to handle errands, it’s hard to say whether the Yan family can gain a firm foothold in the capital.”

Sun Chang’s eyes flickered, and it seemed that the people who suppressed the Yan family had a high status.

On the first day of March, the main street in the capital was crowded with people who were watching the troops returning to the court. Every citizen wanted to witness the heroes who defended the country.

At the beginning of Sishi (9:00), under the leadership of Chu Gang, the orderly army entered the city gate with a solemn expression.

As soon as the army entered the gate, they were warmly welcomed by the people.

Behind the army, Jin Lingwei murmured: “Our Jin Lingwei did a lot to calm down the war in northern Xinjiang so quickly, but now, the limelight has been taken away by the army.”

Xue Xiangchen turned to look at the Xiao Yeyang: “What do you think?”

Xiao Yeyang replied calmly: “This subordinate obeys the orders of the commander.”

Xue Xiangchen snorted in his heart, and he had never seen this guy so obedient before, then he laughed and said loudly : “No one can take away the glory that belongs to Jin Lingwei. Everyone listens to the order, integrates the team, and goes with me to meet

the emperor.” Hearing this, all Jin Lingwei looked happy and drove one by one The horses lined up, then raised their whips in unison, and rode the horses into the city gate.

Because of the great victory of this battle, the emperor led all the civil and military officials to personally welcome the returning army at the gate of the palace.

Chu Gang and the soldiers were all excited about this.

Palace gate.

Chu Gang and several generals got off their horses and were just about to salute like the emperor when they heard the neat and clanging hooves of the horses from behind.

For a moment, everyone including the emperor looked in the direction of the voice.

Seeing Jin Lingwei, who was dressed in a uniform and rode a tall horse, running towards him, all the officials looked sideways. Even though they were far away, everyone still felt a strong sense of oppression.

Seeing the person coming, the emperor couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, especially when he saw the unhappy faces of Chu Gang and the generals who had been robbed of the limelight, the smile on his face deepened.

After a while, Jin Lingwei came to the gate of the palace.

All Jin Lingwei stopped their horses almost at the same time, Xue Xiangchen was the first to dismount, followed by three young men who were hard to ignore behind him, and after that, the rest of Jin Lingwei dismounted in unison.

The momentum is orderly, and it is brave and majestic.

Xue Xiangchen knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, and the rest of Jin Lingwei followed suit: “Your Majesty, I have lived up to my mission and returned with Jin Lingwei to return to my command!” A

loud voice resounded over the palace gate.

The emperor raised his hand to signal Jin Lingwei to stand up, praised Xue Xiangchen a few words, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Yeyang behind him.

Looking at the resolute and imposing nephew, the emperor was sincerely happy, stepped forward, and patted Xiao Yeyang’s shoulder: “Good boy, I didn’t embarrass you.”

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes instantly showed joy, seeing Until Xue Xiangchen, who was looking directly at this side, said with rare modesty: “It’s all taught well by the commander.” The

emperor looked at Xue Xiangchen who was grinning, and then at Chu Xiangchen who had been robbed of the limelight Just waiting for someone, he laughed and said: “You are all meritorious ministers, the palace has prepared a celebration banquet, let me enter the palace.”

Then, he turned around and walked towards the palace gate first, and motioned for Xiao Yeyang to follow by my side.

Xue Xiangchen, Chu Gang and others hurriedly followed.
