Chapter 194: Journey to the South
In April, the little girl prepared to set off to study in the south.
Jiang Jichen was at home on vacation and moved his military affairs into the study in the palace. When he had free time, he would accompany his daughter to travel around Chongzhou City.
The old father kept his reluctance in his heart, but his expression remained normal when facing his daughter all day long.
He knew his little girl was an eagle in the sky, not a sparrow in his hand...
As the day for the little girl's departure drew closer, Xie Yunshan became busier.
He was away from home all day, and Butler Sun saw him several times hurriedly leaving the house with Yun Yi, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.
I heard from people outside that Xie Yunshan had returned to the general's mansion several times.
Every time he would take a lot of money from the housekeeper.
The rough men in the restaurant joked that the current General Xie was just like a daughter-in-law who lived at her husband's house all day long, and every time he returned to the general's mansion, he would turn his palms up.
Xie Yunshan dismissed the girls in the backyard and emptied the general's mansion. In addition, Kyoto was already dissatisfied with him, and the gold and silver sent were much less than before. The housekeeper had to calculate carefully every day and spend every copper coin carefully!
What their young master took away were the last remaining expenses that the mansion could spend!
In such a huge general's mansion, there are still hundreds of servants who need to feed!
Facing the housekeeper's plea, General Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Since you are the sons of the Xie family, if you can't stand it, go back to Kyoto to find your master!"
Whenever Xie Yunshan said this, the housekeeper immediately fell silent.
He knew that the young master was still resentful of them for killing Miss Qingyun according to the orders of the patriarch.
When Jiang Jichen heard about this, he just brushed it off and didn't intend to investigate further...
He doesn't have time to take care of other people's affairs.
If you have that much free time, you might as well spend more time with your daughter!
When Jiang An's new teeth started to grow a little bit, it was the day before her departure.
Today, the Star Picking Courtyard is bustling with activity...
There were two large boxes in the main room, filled with various new dresses made for the little girl.
Each piece is made of the finest materials and is made in the styles that are currently popular in Kyoto and the south.
There were also a lot of banknotes, gold and silver, and various shiny jade and jewelry at the bottom of the box...
These things were prepared by Butler Sun, and were put into the box only after the prince personally reviewed them one by one.
Including Qi Shanyuan's luggage, all of them were checked by Jiang Jichen.
Young Master Qi had a good eye and could naturally tell that they were all rare and good things. Butler Sun, who always sent gifts, declined them repeatedly.
Steward Sun had a kind look on his face, and simply said, "The master has instructed that the child must not be treated badly when he is away from home..."
"Young Master Qi and Young Master are the same."
The Zhenguo Palace is wealthy and will never do anything to favor one over the other!
Since the prince has allowed Qi Shanyuan to enter the palace, he will not mistreat the child in these matters.
Qi Shanyuan stood in the courtyard, smiling appropriately and looking sincere, "Please ask the housekeeper to thank the prince on behalf of Shanyuan."
"You're welcome, young master..."
The little girl sat on the cushion and threw a plum into her mouth.
She looked at Zheng Yan and the others busy in the yard, her cheeks twitching.
"Dad~"
Jiang Jichen put down the list of personal guards who were going to the Southland and looked at the little girl. "What's wrong?"
"What if I miss Dad?"
The old father smiled and rubbed his daughter's head.
Just by hearing his low voice, he had already built a high wall for Jiang An in his brief words.
"Then come back."
Jiang An raised his head, his big eyes blinking, "An An gave up halfway, isn't that a failure?"
It turns out that little girls also feel embarrassed for the sake of face...
Jiang Jichen laughed heartily, his narrow eyes deep, "My A'an is the most promising!"
She has done things that many people cannot accomplish in their entire lives, and is the best girl in her old father's heart!
"Aan just has fun out there..."
"If you want to go home, write to me."
The man's eyebrows and eyes greeted the sunlight, very gentle, "Dad will bring you back from the Chongzhou border with black armor."
Now Jiang An still doesn't understand that this is not only the promise of a father, but also the promise of a commander who commands an army of 500,000.
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad!"
The little girl's delicate face smiled, and the sadness between her brows disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the distance between Nandi and Chongzhou is not a full month's journey, but a sentence...
A sentence that allows Jiang An to come back as long as he wants.
As night fell, the busyness of Zhaixingyuan finally came to an end.
The fragrantly washed little girl picked up her soft little pillow from the bed and went to her father's main courtyard.
Jiang Jichen, who was still reading official documents in his outer robe, heard the sound of the little girl's bare feet stepping on the floor, but he did not look up.
"An, you're not wearing shoes or socks."
The little girl retracted her toes, stiffened her neck, and said righteously: "An An wants to sleep with Daddy!"
She came closer quietly, and said in a sticky tone, "An An has washed and smells so good~"
She remembered that her father loved cleanliness.
I am not like that fox cub who refuses to take a bath!
Jiang Jichen put down the official document, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, and picked up his daughter, "Okay, sleep with Dad."
As for the documents I haven't finished reading...
Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
At midnight, the entire Chongzhou city fell silent.
But in this silence there are always a few people who make trouble, such as Xie Yunshan who lives in the front yard of the palace.
There was also a box in his yard, the box was open, with some scattered items scattered inside.
Xie Yunshan took out a few more robes from the house and threw them into the box, then took the box full of banknotes from Yun Yi, who was following closely behind him.
General Xie stroked his chin and muttered, "These things should be enough for living in the South for a year..."
He gave up halfway through the thought.
Xie Yunshan shrugged casually, comforting himself. If it wasn't enough, he could ask Yun Yi to get some more money from the General's Mansion and send it to him.
Yun Yi's eyes were filled with resentment, and he grabbed the corner of the young master's robe, "Young master, can't I go with you?"
Xie Yunshan refused mercilessly, "No."
What a joke! I was planning to ask you to support me from the rear!
The young guard squatted down and hugged his master's thigh, hanging on it, crying aggrievedly: "Master, just take me away!"
"If the master finds out that you are not in Chongzhou, he will tear my head off!"
He hasn't gotten married yet and hasn't found a wife yet, so he doesn't want to die young!
Xie Yunshan blocked his mouth and said, "Stop howling!"
Yun Yi stopped talking in a second, "Then the young master will take his subordinates to the Southland."
Xie Yunshan: “No!”
