Chapter 305

After entering the capital, Xiao Jian asked the guards to escort the convoy to the Xiao Mansion.

The Xiao Mansion used to be called the Grand Master's Mansion. After the old Grand Master Xiao retired, the Grand Master's Mansion was changed to the Xiao Mansion.

This house is also a five-entry mansion, and there is a big garden behind it. After arriving at the destination, everyone is relieved and their hearts are relieved.

Mrs. Luo and Xi'er were arranged in Bauhinia Courtyard, Mr. Gong and his wife were arranged in Yuhua Courtyard, Chen Changsheng and his wife were arranged in Xiangyang Courtyard, and Xiao Jian's family lived in Jinfeng Courtyard.

After everyone had a casual meal, they went to rest early.

They still don't know about the changes in the capital. Xi'er went to the capital a few years ago and said it was to settle the matter of Chen Changsheng.

Huaishu Town is close to the northernmost point, the emperor went to the hot spring palace to provide for the elderly, and made Long Tianlin the crown prince, and let the crown prince oversee the country, no one even knew about it.

On the second day, when everyone had breakfast and sat down to drink tea, Xiao Jian asked the butler to tell the whole story of what had happened in the capital in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked.

They looked at Xi'er together, and Xi'er took a sip of tea lightly.

"Look at what I did, and I didn't do anything. It will be a matter of time before the crown prince is abolished. Neither will the other princes. The most promising one is the Ninth Prince. If he doesn't want to be the crown prince, whoever will be will be the crown prince. This is what everyone expects. Shi Ye, Lucky, what do you think?"

"That's right, the Ninth Prince is worthy of the great job, and he is the right candidate for the crown prince. We live in the far north, and our lives are too comfortable."

"Now that you're in the capital, everyone should be at ease. Those who should study hard, those who should go out to play, if you are short of money, hum, I have plenty here."

"Haha, we have brought a lot too, so we don't need yours."

As soon as the living room was over, Long Tianlin sent someone to invite Xi'er to drink tea, which was the teahouse opened by Long Tianlin.

On the top floor of the teahouse, Long Tianlin personally poured Xi'er a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Miss Xi'er, for helping me get the crown prince, otherwise I wouldn't know it would be a year of the monkey."

"In the future, you must be diligent in government and love the people. If you are like your father, you are fatuous and unreasonable?"

"Follow the Girl to Kill"

"You just understand."

"I will not keep the throne forever. When the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will give the throne to a capable prince and live in Huaishu Town for the elderly."

"Would you like it?"

"Of course I'm willing to! I've had this idea for a long time."

Xi'er took out a bank note from her cuff, "Here, make arrangements as soon as possible to dig through the rivers between the north and the south, and strive for a circulation connection. This will not only solve the flood in the south, but also alleviate the drought in the north. Moreover, water transportation is more convenient and faster than road transportation." , when the time comes to build a lot of wharves, it can add some income to the people.”

"I have long wanted to dig river channels, but I have been short of financial resources."

"Twenty million taels of silver is enough, just keep an eye on those corrupt officials."

"Whoever corrupts me will kill him."

Holding the bank note in his hand, Long Tianlin looked at Xi'er moved.

"Well, if you have the ability, build official roads, plant trees on both sides, encourage the people to grow more trees, build more roads, and if the roads are clear, everything will be clear. The news is often blocked because of poor roads."

"Well said, the prince will definitely follow through."

"Well, I have nothing to say. Let's go. You are very busy, so I won't bother you."

Just as Xi'er was about to leave, Long Tianlin immediately stopped her, "You're here, no matter how busy the prince is, he will find time, why is he in such a hurry to leave?"

"It's time to say go, there's nothing to say, why don't you go?"

"Xi'er, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the auction house will auction all kinds of good things."

"Hmph, what don't I have? How rare are those?"

"There may be rare plants, seeds, and small animals. Now the auction house is famous, and even foreign businessmen will come here to auction their goods."

"Well, I see."

"When the time comes, I will send someone to post for you?"

"Okay, I won't go, let them go and see it."

"Miss Xi'er, I wonder if I can put you in front of the scene from behind the scenes?"

"How to say?"

"I need a strong town."

"You are already very strong, you don't need me to come forward, besides, I want to live a peaceful life, you should be your prince well, don't think about what is there all day long, I have already helped you a lot, and the matter of the river is still there. Please arrange as soon as possible, I am leaving."

After speaking, Xi'er got up and left without looking back.

Long Tianlin looked at her back, feeling helpless in his heart, except for business, Miss Xi'er would not spend much time with him at all, she was trying to avoid suspicion, alas~
Baoyue was waiting at the door of the teahouse. As soon as she went downstairs, Jinnian came to look for her. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xi'er and Baoyue.

"Auntie, let's go, I'll take you to eat roast duck? I know there is a famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing."

Xi'er rolled his eyes at him, knowing his little thoughts, but didn't want to point them out.

"OK"

Baoyue smiled at the two of them, "Well, miss, I promise Miss Qian that I will go back to do some work with her at noon, what about that, can I go back first?"

"go"

Bao Yue found an excuse to leave, Xiao Jinnian gave Xi'er a hey smile.

"Auntie, come with me, that store also has fruit juice, it happens to be roasted duck with fruit juice, a perfect match"

"Is your house open?"

"Um, Auntie knows all this?"

"I'm afraid that the fruit juice was passed down from my house in Huaishu Town. The only one that can reach the shop in the capital is your shop."

Xiao Jinnian habitually wanted to hold Xi'er's hand, but she patted her away.

"Keep the rules."

"Didn't I often hold my aunt's hand when I was young?"

"Nonsense, the number of times you came to my house was limited when you were a child, and you still held hands and farts."

"Auntie speaks foul language."

"Go or not, I'll go back if I don't."

"go, go"

Now Xiao Jinnian became much more obedient, and he brought Xi'er to Jufu Roast Duck Restaurant, which was at the Master's time, and it was almost full of diners.

The shopkeeper knew Jinnian, and when he saw the young master's coming, he rushed to greet him.

"The villain saw the young master's house."

"Well, is there a private room?"

"Yes, the villain will take you there."

The shopkeeper led the two of them into the private room, hurriedly asked the waiter to serve refreshments, and set up a large fruit plate. After Xiao Jinnian ordered a roast chicken, the shopkeeper withdrew.

Jin Nian dragged the fruit plate closer to Xi'er, "Try it, it's not as good as what you grow, but it's all cut from melons and fruits of excellent quality."

Xi'er reached out and took a piece of melon and took a bite, and was about to speak when she heard a voice from the next door.

"Ma'am, come here, I'll roll it for you, try it, this shop is very famous in the capital."

"Well, it's delicious. It's so big. The princess doesn't know there is such a store in the capital."

"It's delicious. I will bring you here often in the future. Don't be bored at home all the time."

"Thank you husband."

The voice was so familiar, Xiao Jinnian was taken aback for a moment, it's really a narrow road, he looked at Xi'er's face.

"How about we change?"

"Just here, he is just a passerby to me."

"Unexpectedly, he married another princess, what about the previous one?"

"I don't know, what the hell, we eat ours."

Xi'er didn't take Huankang's changes to heart at all, whether he was good or bad, that was his business.

After a while, the shopkeeper delivered the roast duck in person. He cleaned his hands and sliced ​​the duck meat for the two of them himself. Xiao Jinnian spread the pancakes, duck meat, shredded green onion, and sauce on the side, rolled them up, and handed them to Xi'er. .

"Auntie, eat, it tastes good."

Xi'er took it, took a bite, and nodded.

"Well, not bad"

Jinnian glanced at the shopkeeper, "Who is next door?"

"Oh, it's Ji Shilang and Princess Jiahua from the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Do you know what's going on with them?"

The shopkeeper nodded, lowered his voice and said, "This happened years ago. When Princess Jiahua reached Jiji, he invited all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital."
