Chapter 258

When everything was settled and the party was ready to return to Beijing, Qiao Qian came with Qiao an.

"Faster than I thought." Xiao Ruixuan, who learned the news, was practicing Taoism with Cheng Zi with a smile. Then they met them in the flower Hall of the outer courtyard.

However, after a half month's parting, Qiao Qian accepted the previous appearance of being a fool, and appeared in front of them like a different person.

And Qiao an behind him is no longer like a second generation ancestor. As soon as he sees Xiao Ruixuan and Cheng Zixiu, he respectfully salutes him, but his eyes are a little uneasy, looking for something.

Qiao Qian, dressed as a businessman, didn't say much when he saw Xiao Ruixuan. Instead, he took out the debt note in triplicate from his sleeve and said to Xiao Ruixuan, "I'm here to pay back the money today."

Then he motioned to Joanne to take out a large stack of bank notes.

"Even with the interest of 210000 Liang." Qiao Qian arched his hand.

After Qiao Qian and Qiao bosh returned to Qiao's home in Shaoxing that day, all the old and young men in the room were flustered.

Over the years, the Qiao family relied on him to make money by doing business abroad. Once he fell down, the whole Qiao family was like a tree falling down and a monkey scattering.

When Qiao Qian proposed that Qiao bosh still owes 200000 Liang, the Qiao family was even more upset.

Someone yelled that this is the IOU signed by Joe bosh. Why should the whole Qiao family pay off the debt together?

Others took the opportunity to propose a separation.

Qiao an, a young and energetic man, jumped out and felt that his father had been working hard to make money these years, but he was raising a group of white eyed wolves. He could only live with wealth, not with hardship.

It's good to be separated from each other, at least they won't become each other's burden in the future.

Old Qiao Shangshu thought that it was meaningless to make trouble like this, so he opened a ancestral temple and separated his family.

But after that, old Qiao Shangshu never got up again

Come to bed. Nobody really cares about the 200000 taels to be paid.

For the first time, the two nephews of Qiao Qian and Qiao an, who were always in hot water in the past, stood together.

As a matter of fact, after he borrowed money from Xiao Ruixuan that day, he didn't spend a cent. What he really needed to pay back was a million taels of money that was rolling every month.

And if they don't pay back the money, it's really fatal to their Qiao family.

So the two of them together, each sold some of the property under his name, and quickly took the money to find it.

Xiao Ruixuan didn't say much, so she accepted the bank notes with a smile, and returned the IOU signed by Qiao bosh to Qiao Qian that day.

Seeing that he had finished what he was worried about, Qiao Qian said goodbye.

Xiao Ruixuan didn't ask Qiao Qian to stay, but just handed him an envelope before he left.

"This is..." Qiao Qian looked at Xiao Ruixuan in a puzzled way.

But Xiao Ruixuan said with a smile, "I asked you to accompany me to Quanzhou that day. I told you in advance. This is the reward!"

Qiao Qian also pinched the envelope, but the envelope was very thin, even if it was a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid it couldn't hold much. When he thought of the house he had sold to repay the interest of 200000 Liang, Qiao Qian felt even more heartbroken.

Reluctantly, he pushed the envelope into his lapel and left with Joanne.

"What did you put in the envelope?" Cheng Zixiu, who has been sitting quietly with a cup of tea, asks curiously.

"It's just an edict." Xiao Ruixuan said with a smile, "I asked him to go to Liujiagang to get some seafood from boss Hong. Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on his own."

This time, Qiao's family's vitality is greatly damaged, and Xiao Ruixuan always likes to "leave everything on the line". Unless the other party really provokes him, he will kill him.

In this way, after a few days in Gusu City, the party

Finally, I boarded the sand boat to return to Beijing.

Hu fan and his mother fan went back with them.

Although he was escorted by Cheng Zixiu, the great imperial doctor, Xiao Ruixuan was still careful along the way, but somehow they arrived at TongZhou wharf before the beginning of winter.

When the boat landed, the boatman skillfully jumped on the shore, tied the rope and set up the springboard.

Holding Xiao Ruixuan's hand, Jiang Wan, who has a golden hairpin on her head, walks out of the cabin carefully.

Because of Xiao Ruixuan's fuss all the way, she was only three months pregnant, but she was slightly pregnant.

Therefore, today, she specially wore a round collar of Yellow Peony without waist, and a twelve piece Xiang skirt with white moon and red plum blossom embroidery.

Moreover, there were strong waves on the water, and Jiang Wan wore a green brocade and satin Cape, which made people not see that she was a pregnant woman.

Just two people just walked out of the cabin soon, sharp eyed Jiang Wan saw

On the dock, a stout black figure was looking at their boat.

Jiang Wan recognized one or two eyes, and felt like a financial uncle working in the palace in the capital.

How did he show up in Tongzhou?

Some Jiang Wan who didn't quite understand also pulled Xiao Ruixuan's sleeve.

Xiao Ruixuan first gave Jiang Wan a gentle look, and then followed her hand to the wharf.

As soon as he looked up, he just made eye contact with Uncle Cai, who waved at the bank.

Xiao Ruixuan's face was frozen.

What happened in Beijing? Otherwise, the financial uncle would not have rushed to TongZhou from the capital to welcome him.

"But what happened?" After helping Jiang Wan into the carriage and setting him up, Xiao Ruixuan got on the black lacquer Flathead carriage of Caishu.

"It's the second young master!" The financial uncle took a habitual look from left to right,

Then he said in a low voice, "he brought people into the palace three days ago."

Xiao Ruixuan was surprised to hear that.

According to the rules of this dynasty, there are feudal princes, married princesses and so on. Without official documents of the Ministry of rites, they are not allowed to return to Beijing without permission. At that time, Emperor Wenzong had nine sons. Because the prince died early, the throne fell to the Queen's second son and the fourth ranked Jianwu emperor.

Besides Jianwu emperor, the only sons he still has in the world are Xiao Tongfu, the third son in the southwest, Xiao Tongfeng, the fifth son in the northwest, and Xiao Tongqing, the ninth son in the northeast.

Today, however, the emperor is suspicious and has always been indifferent to his brothers. Prince Xiao Tongfu of Rong and Prince Xiao Tongfeng of Jin don't bother to put their hot faces on the cold farts. They don't give orders, and they don't bother to ask for orders. They let their staff or cronies go to Beijing to handle everything.

Therefore, Xiao Tongfu, Prince of Rong, and Xiao Tongfeng, Prince of Jin, have not been to Beijing for many years. Only when he was a child of emperor Jianwu and was brought up like a son, his younger brother, Prince an, would occasionally ask the Ministry of rites for permission to go to Beijing.

However, this rule has always restricted only the princes and princesses, and the princes and princesses of the royal families are not in the scope of this restriction.

However, since Xiao Ruixuan lived alone in the palace of the king of Jin in the name of "taking care of his illness according to orders", his younger brother, who had been incompatible with him since childhood, never entered the palace of the king of Jin again.
