My wife has a secret

Chapter 110 The Yang Family's Daughter Grows Up

This is actually the answer!

Hearing Qin Shuying's admission in person, Xu Qing felt that what was happening before his eyes was like a dream, and everything seemed like his own fantasy.

What on earth is that treasure that can actually reveal the secret of this sword?

What puzzled Xu Qing the most was how could Princess Danyang's plain-looking treasure have such an effect?

……

The streets were wet and full of water stains after the heavy rain.

But as the capital of Da Qi and the starting point of the Silk Road, the prosperous cityscape of the capital was restored to its original state.

However, at noon, the abrupt eaves were hung with shop signs.

These flags were flying high, and below them were carriages and horses and a constant stream of pedestrians.

After a few days of curfew and curfew, noisy sounds were heard one after another, and most people had a calm and comfortable look on their faces.

"The capital city looks like this..."

The plainclothes girl who had just walked into the huge city gate and saw the scene outside the city widened her eyes, her heart full of surprise and confusion.

She had never been to the capital before, so she found everything she saw strange.

"Is this the sugar man that my second sister mentioned? It's amazing. It can be made into various shapes..."

Behind this lively girl stood another woman wearing a tight red dress, with smooth and fair skin and arms.

She had a long ponytail and although she had no makeup on her face, her beauty was so stunning that one could not look at her closely.

Especially the red ribbon on the ends of her hair, which is like a flame lighting up the darkness, shining brightly.

"Let's find an inn to stay first."

When the girl heard the woman's instructions, she followed with a smile, her bright and clear eyes sparkling.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, the capital was in turmoil two days ago, and the city gates were closed for three days. I didn't expect that even so, the city was still bustling, and every place was different from the border."

"After the foreign enemies are driven away... Huangling Pass will one day be like here, with no worries about food and clothing, and everyone will be able to live a stable life."

The woman answered as she walked, her voice gentle, like a plum blossom blooming in winter, with a refreshing fragrance blowing towards you.

She said these words lightly, but there was a hint of longing in her eyes.

"Big sister, to be honest... I was unwilling to make peace with the court before, but after seeing the appearance of the capital today, I understand your good intentions."

The girl's name was Yang Caiyun. She was from the Yang family, a frontier fortress in Huangling Pass. She was the youngest daughter of the Yang family.

The woman who led her across thousands of miles to the capital was naturally the head of the Yang family, Yang Xianning.

The two girls went to Beijing at the invitation of Empress Dowager Xu.

A few days later during the Lantern Festival, the Queen Mother will host a grand event in the capital.

Although it was not stated explicitly, information from various sources confirmed indirectly that this was most likely a ceremony of farewell before the Queen Mother ascended the throne, and it was of extraordinary significance.

"Sister, do you think that witch Queen Mother Xu really intends to become the emperor? Throughout history, there has never been a woman who became an emperor..."

"Caiyun, this is the capital."

Yang Caiyun saw her elder sister suddenly stop and stare at her with her beautiful eyes, and realized that something was wrong.

Criticizing the emperor would result in beheading. Normally, she would not have said such things in Huangling Pass, but now in the capital... Every citizen on the street dared not say anything bad about the empress dowager, so when she spoke, she attracted many strange looks. But fortunately, Yang Caiyun's voice was small and she was dissuaded in time. Most pedestrians thought they had heard wrongly and continued to rush to the market.

"Cough cough."

The girl looked embarrassed. Yang Xianning glanced at her and took her to a simple inn in the outer city.

The restaurants and inns in the inner city near the east and west markets are more luxurious, but this place is quiet and there are not many guests visiting except for the merchants who come to rest from all directions.

After all, to get from the outer city to the government compound in the inner city, one has to go through more than ten markets and walk for three hours.

"Are you two ladies from Huangling Pass?"

The innkeeper was a little surprised when he saw the names and places of origin registered in the name book.

Because it was snowing in the north at that time, apart from large-scale caravans with abundant supplies, there were very few travelers heading south from Huangling Pass.

Moreover, most of the people who came to Beijing from Huangling Pass were vulgar and barbaric, and it was the first time for the shopkeeper to see such a beautiful woman.

Especially the woman standing in front of him was extremely pretty, with delicate features, beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth... He had never seen such a beautiful person in his life.

"Mu Siyu?"

Yang Caiyun heard the shopkeeper read out the eldest sister's alias, raised her eyebrows, and asked in a delicate voice: "The officers and soldiers have looked at the paperwork. Is there any problem? Do you want me to take it out for you to see?"

"No, no, how can I have the authority of a military commander?"

The shopkeeper quickly shook his head and waved his hands, smiling and saying, "Let the waiter take the two ladies upstairs. I was just ignorant, please don't be offended."

Yang Xianning took out a piece of silver from her lapel, put it on the shopkeeper's abacus, and asked, "This is our first time in Beijing. May I ask what interesting things are happening in Beijing these days that we can go and join in the fun?"

"lively?"

The innkeeper was slightly startled, with a strange look in his eyes.

He did not doubt the identities of the two women. After all, the gates of the capital city were now supervised by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and governed by the Five Cities Military Department. The security in the city was very good.

But speaking of excitement, isn’t the palace coup two days ago the most exciting?
There are many rumors circulating among the people now. Everyone knows that the Prince of Dongwan rebelled and killed the young emperor in power.

"Ahem, if the two ladies want to join in the fun, why don't you go to Tai Academy?"

The innkeeper didn't dare to discuss political affairs, so he changed the subject and pointed elsewhere.

When the young girl Yang Caiyun heard the shopkeeper's proposal, she curiously asked, "Isn't Taixue a place for scholars to study? Do you think we two sisters look like students?"

"You two, I may be shortsighted, but I'm not that blind."

The innkeeper smiled and said, "A few days ago, the world-famous literary scholar Master Nie accepted Lu Wanhe, a registered female disciple who had been left behind in Jiangnan a few years ago, as his disciple. For this reason, Master Nie even gave lectures specifically for her, which caused quite a stir."

"anything else?"

Yang Caiyun held onto the edge of the table and listened with great interest.

She had also heard of Lu Wanhe's name. Although this woman was not famous, she seemed to be a concubine in her eldest sister's husband's house.

Yang Caiyun naturally didn't want to miss out on any gossip or interesting things about her elder sister's family.

"The ban in the capital has been lifted in the past two days. The talented woman Lu Wanhe has been writing couplets in front of the Nie Mansion for free. I heard that although she is young, her calligraphy is natural and she has learned from many masters. She has reached the level of perfection."

Talking about this talented woman from Jiangnan, the innkeeper expressed his admiration.
