Xu Nuoyan knew that A Niang had many things to ask her eldest brother privately, so she took the initiative to let them go.
In a carriage.
Without the outsiders around, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously grabbed Xu Nuoshan's arm. Xu Nuoshan was in pain, his face was painful, big cold sweat broke out one by one, and his lips suddenly lost color.
Ms. Zhou was startled, subconsciously let go of her hand, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell from Xu Nuoshan to Chi Mo.
Chimo lowered his head and sat outside the car curtain, not daring to say a word at all.
Mrs. Zhou's tears fell instantly, "Did something happen?"
Mother and son were connected, and Xu Nuoshan knew at this moment that he couldn't hide it, so he weakly comforted: "Auntie, I'm fine, just my arm was a little injured. The doctor and the imperial doctor in the palace have looked at it, and even little sister Xiaohua has been given to me. After diagnosis and treatment, he will be fine as long as he takes good care of himself for a while.”
"You're injured and you still say it's okay!" Madam Zhou began to wipe away her tears. "I originally thought that you would become the number one scholar and marry a princess. As long as you stayed honest and peaceful, you would be rich and wealthy for the rest of your life. I didn't need to worry about this. It’s only been a while, why did you get hurt! Tell me honestly, who hurt you, and I will seek justice for you!”
She subconsciously believed that the dignitaries in the capital took action because they could not see the promise of Shanhao.
Xu Nuoshan shook his head, "Mom, it's okay. The Emperor already knows about this matter. The Emperor will make the decision for me. Don't ask."
Seeing that her son was keeping secrets and that there were some strange guards accompanying him, Mrs. Zhou had to shut her mouth and said instead: "Then I will go back and check on your wound, patch it up for you, and don't go out during this period.
Also, I have already paid back the three thousand taels you owed to your mother-in-law, and I will repay the debt to the prince later when I have the ability. An Ning said that this matter cannot be rushed. "
Xu Nuoshan was a little surprised, "Auntie, where did you get so much money?"
Madam Zhou sighed, "I sold out the shop and exchanged it for two thousand taels. I only left the small courtyard in Fucheng and the fields on Zhuangzi. Not to mention the other things, I relied on the income from Zhuangzi. You can earn a hundred or so taels of silver.
In addition, there are more than two thousand taels of silver saved over the years. After paying back three thousand taels, there are still more than one thousand taels. I don't know if it will be enough for you to spend in the capital. "
She had inquired on the way, and found out that wealthy families also needed to maintain guards and other services, and the monthly payment for all servants, large and small, would cost more than ten taels or even dozens of taels per month.
“Ah Shan, do you think it’s okay if I come to the capital and open a dessert shop?” Madam Zhou asked with a frown.
Xu Nuoshan put on a pale smile and said, "If you like it, grandma, you can do it. Anyway, you have Alan by your side. When the time comes, I will buy two maids to take care of you. You can do whatever you want."
Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Xu Mansion.
Zhou Niang helped Xu Nuoshan get out of the car carefully. She looked at the high gate compound in front of her, her lips never moved. "The child's father, have you seen it?" This is our family, our Xu family!
The group entered the house and the housekeeper closed the door.
Mrs. Zhou didn’t bother to look at her own yard, so she looked at Xu Nuoshan’s injuries first. Fortunately, the wounds healed better today than yesterday, and it wasn’t scary at all. She could still hold on.
It was only after Xunuoshan had reapplied the medicine that Madam Zhou asked about the betrothal gift.
Xu Nuo Shan 1510 said: "My aunt helped me buy the betrothal gift, but the money was given by the Queen. My aunt used all the money given by the Queen, and made up for herself a few gorgeous sets of hair and face. She is a member of the Three Iron Clan." I brought it back from outside the customs. The sets of heads and faces made by my sister were estimated to be worth eight thousand taels. When the Queen saw them, she was very happy." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was happy but also melancholy, "In this way, we owe Yang. It’s even harder to repay family favors!”
Xu Nuoshan held Madam Zhou's hand with his backhand, "Auntie, don't worry. Although Santie is an official now, it is only temporary. He said that he will go to do business in a year or two, and he also said that we can join the team. , I made an agreement with him early to give it a try when the time comes.”
He had never realized that money was so important before coming to the capital. Now that he really realized that a penny is difficult for a hero, he naturally had to think of some serious ways to make money.
Mrs. Zhou stopped worrying at all when she saw that her son had taken everything into consideration.
In the Guangenhou Mansion.
Jiang Ning arranged a table of wine and food for his daughter-in-law and daughter to wash away the dust.
The two of them went back to rest after eating.
Xu Nuoyan thought about Ayana and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. However, it was her first time in the capital, so she couldn't ask too many questions, so she could only figure it out slowly.
After a few days of adjustment, Xu Nuoyan was able to recover. She also contacted Ayana several times intentionally or unintentionally to confirm that the girl really couldn't remember too many things before she was abducted, or that she had almost forgotten. After two years of suffering in the hands of Ren Yazi, he stayed at the Yang family peacefully and occasionally returned to the Dong family, unable to find out anything at all.
She was sitting in the pavilion in a daze when Yang Xiaohua came in with a medicine box, "Sister Yan, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Nuoyan came to her senses and said, "We are almost a family, so what else can we call sister? Just call me second sister-in-law! I was just thinking about my eldest brother, Princess Shang."
There is always a reason why he was assassinated without incident. I thought about it and it should have something to do with Lord Shang. "
Yang Xiaohua paused and sat down silently, "Second sister-in-law, just think about it for yourself. Don't yell. The water behind you is very deep. But if you make such a fuss, no one will dare to assassinate Brother Xu again! By the way. , I see that the second sister-in-law is very interested in Ayana these days, but have you asked about her life experience? "
Xu Nuoyan shook his head, "I just came to the capital. How can I know as much as you do? I'm just curious about foreign women."
Yang Xiaohua nodded slightly, smiled, and said: "I have been in contact with Ayana for a while, and I really like her true temperament. If possible, I also hope to help her find her family as soon as possible."
Ayana's appearance is too special. Most families will not accept foreign girls. Only by returning to the place where she was born and finding the same tribe can her future be protected.
The two of them had different thoughts and said no more.
The day of marriage arrived at Xunuo Mountain.
The Xu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations early. In order to support the Xu family, the Yang family even lent a lot of valuable ornaments.
The princess's honor guard started from the harem, went around in a circle, knelt down and bowed to the emperor outside the Xuanzheng Hall, and then left the palace.
The two sides of Zhuque Street were crowded with people watching the excitement. Many people envied Xu Nuoshan for becoming the prince-in-law.
Lan Sui Wenhan stood in a private room facing the street on the second floor. He held a bow in his hand and made a shooting motion. "Hey! Brother, do you want to come?"
The emperor had clearly found out that they were behind the scenes, but he never said a word. This also fueled Lan Sui Wenhan's arrogance. As long as he killed Xu Nuoshan, Princess Yongyang would not be able to marry! (End of chapter)
