Chapter 635 The World and You
Lin Jinxiao originally wanted to take him back home to discuss matters, but Zhao Guangyuan lifted the curtain of the car to look around, and cautiously told him: "I don't have anything important to do. Right now, the princess is about to enter the capital. I just have some things to explain to His Highness. To cause unnecessary suspicion, just discuss it with His Highness here."
Lin Jinxiao nodded thoughtfully: "Please tell me, old man."
Zhao Guangyuan unhurriedly took out a small box and handed it to him. He stared at the box in his hand with his old eyes slightly lowered, and asked earnestly:
"The officialdom in Jiangnan has been corrupt for a long time. Your Highness is going to punish Xing Huan, the prefect of Funing County, to punish Jiangnan?"
Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips in silence as a response.
"This is a good thing. This old man is very pleased. Our Pingning Prefecture is finally recovering."
Zhao Guangyuan handed the box in his hand: "I know His Highness must have made some arrangements for the entry of the princess, His Royal Highness, and the Young Princess into Beijing this time, and there will be no disturbances in the capital if there is Princess Shu coming to Beijing. One, I also want to do my best to do something for the princess, His Highness, and Princess."
As he said that, he gestured for him to open the box, and continued: "I have a secret private property in Beijing, where I kept three hundred good horses. The account manager of Zhuangzi is a close friend of the old man, who is now guarding the Chaoguang Gate of Jingling City. The name is Bender, and I have a life-long friendship with him. The land deed and token in this wooden box are the evidence.
In order to ensure the safe return of the princess, only relying on the strength of the army will inevitably cause others to be alert. For this reason, the old man specially dispatched all the dead soldiers in the house, there are nearly a hundred of them. The second time I wished to enter the capital secretly with the princess, regardless of life or death, when the crisis came, Bender and these dead men would protect the princess and leave the capital. "
"The old grandpa has spared no effort to help me and my wife many times. Is there any wish that I need my king to fulfill for you?"
Lin Jinxiao looked at the box in his hand, and felt complicated emotions towards this wrinkled old man.
He has always disliked dealing with merchants, but the old grandpa's acts of righteousness time and time again had to impress him.
"The greatest wish of the old man was fulfilled with the help of His Royal Highness and the Queen. Now that he is protected by His Highness and the Queen, he can die in Luyan Port with peace of mind. It is the most gratifying thing in my life."
Zhao Guangyuan leaned on crutches and slowly got off the carriage, sighed softly:
"I have no other wishes in this life, and I have also suffered. Over the years, I have traveled all over the world and seen many poor people who were starving and freezing. Some of them were forced to sell their sons and daughters by tyrants. There are not a few of them, I only hope that His Royal Highness and the princess will have a smooth journey for the rest of their lives, and the two of you can join hands to bring back the chaos of this troubled world."
Watching the old man back to his carriage, Lin Jinxiao lowered the curtain with heavy eyes, his mind full of thoughts.
Walking slowly all the way back to Chongrenfang, the carriage entered the mansion, and he went to the study alone.
Chu Nanzhi checked with Yin Liuxuan the schedule of the day to come and the list of guests for the dinner party in the living room. Hearing that Lin Jinxiao was nowhere to be seen when he returned to the mansion, he was really puzzled.
He went out because of Xie Jingchen's entry into the capital. Could it be that the little boy failed to convince the apprentice and was embarrassed by him?
Feeling uneasy, Chu Nanzhi went straight to the study.
Gently pushed open the door, and saw Lin Jinxiao's slender figure leaning on the seat, sullen, with all the worries on his face.
She closed the door, approached slowly, and asked softly, "Have you encountered any troubles?"
"Prince Xie will lead a mission to Beijing tomorrow."
Lin Jinxiao pulled her to sit down in front of him, gazed at her ice-like face affectionately, and couldn't help but pinch her: "You only think about the overall situation, but have you ever thought about your own safety? ?”
Chu Nanzhi guessed that he wasn't worried about Xie Jingchen's matter, but probably because he felt embarrassed about the next matter of purging the officialdom.
It's a pity that he doesn't know many things in Jingzhong, so she could only comfort her with a smile: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, most of Jingzhong are your own people, as long as you can stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, whether it's me or Xiao The treasures can all come back safe and sound."
"Owner?"
Lin Jinxiao looked at her inexplicably, not knowing where she got such confidence, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Princess Shu has been my classmate for many years, she may always turn towards you, as for others."
“Others must also be toward you.”
Chu Nanzhi replied cryptically: "Just talk about Taiwei Yin, he sent his only son to take care of the palace affairs for you, so why don't you worry about it, besides, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, they rely on you so much , nature is also towards you,
As for the others, since I dared to bring my son to Beijing, if we can’t deal with them, then sooner or later we will become fish on their cutting board. "
These words completely convinced Lin Jinxiao.
He handed the box that Zhao Guangyuan explained to Chu Nanzhi, and explained the whole story to her in detail, and then readily agreed: "You can go to Beijing with peace of mind, but there is one thing that you must not let yourself be wronged. If you offend You don't have to worry about anything, just think of a way to come back."
These words made Chu Nanzhi dumbfounded.
It was just a trip to Jingling City to take the exam and visit her mother-in-law. Everyone was worried about her. The arrangement was perfect, and it was very difficult for me to think of something.
Staring at him with deep eyebrows, Chu Nanzhi commanded in a solemn voice: "Lin Dalang, you don't have to always look forward and backward because of me, you always have the courage to do everything you do, since I am your wife, I have been doing it since I married you. Well, the decision to live and die with you, if I really deserve to die in Jingling City this time, that is also my fate,
You are the king of Pingning Prefecture and the backbone of millions of people in the entire prefecture. You can't just worry about the love of your children. This time is your chance to show your talents. You should go to clean up the officials in Jiangnan. Only by overthrowing the Tang clan and those powerful forces, and completely eradicating the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, can you win the hearts of the people and successfully enter Jingling City. "
"I want you and me in the world. If there is no love for your children, even if Haiyan Heqing in the world has nothing to do with me."
At this point, Lin Jinxiao's voice stopped abruptly.
Staring at her deeply, it took a long time before she gathered her mind and said solemnly: "What I want is to sit with you and watch the scene of this prosperous age."
"There will be a day."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
His sincerity is enough to move him.
But if it really comes to a critical moment and has to make a choice, Chu Nanzhi knows very well that she is no longer the village woman in Anlin Village who only cares about her family's five buckets of rice all day long.
She is the governor's wife of Pingning Prefecture and the princess of the Pingning Palace. She should put righteousness first and be most aware of her mission, so she can't help being embarrassed by the little boy.
