Chapter 288 Are They Old Acquaintances?
As he spoke, he opened the box and pushed it forward.

Things are clearly understood, Xiuxiu glanced at it for a while, but couldn't help staring blankly.

She can also be regarded as someone who has passed through a lot of money. From a rough look, there are only three shops in the most prosperous Tongzihewai, and there are other real estate title deeds.

Plus a stack of thick banknotes, the denomination of the banknotes is not small, the documents underneath seem to be from a farm, and there are half a box of jewelry, which is tens of thousands of taels.

When a young lady from a first- and second-rank family left the court, she only had a dowry of 5 to [-] taels of silver, and some didn't have it yet.

The contents in the light box are enough for her to live a good life in the capital.

Rong Yin, what does he mean?
Rong Yin led troops to quell several wars since he was young. It is common for generals to collect money. She knew that Rong Yin was rich, but he didn't need to be so generous.

"I can support myself, take these things back," she said.

Rong An seemed to have expected her to do this, bowed his body and said: "I never mean to belittle the lady, but the general has to fulfill his responsibility.

"It doesn't matter whether we are separated or we are together. After all, we have been in love for four years. That being the case, it is justifiable for the general to take care of the mother and son's livelihood.

"Speaking of presumptuousness, this is what a lady deserves. If she doesn't accept it, wouldn't the lady belittle herself?"

Not taking anything, it really seems to be dismissed, and outsiders who come to Japan know it, and it is inevitable that gossip will arise.

Xiuxiu sat for a long time without saying a word.

She felt that Rong Yin always had a way to make her do as he wanted.

For example, right now, she insists on not accepting it, even she herself can't find enough reasons.

She said: "It's justified, but it's too much."

"Not much." Rong An said, "A lady's youth is priceless."

Xiuxiu bit her lip and said, "Boss Rong is here this time, won't he come again?"

Rong An paused slightly.

"If you don't come anymore, then I will accept it. If you still come again, I will return it to you." Xiuxiu said.

Since the identity of the child's father cannot be erased, there is indeed nothing unacceptable for this money.

Although she had made up her mind to make a clean break, the child had to be raised, and she would have to start a family and start a business in the future. Indeed, she didn't have to be so ambitious that she didn't even want a gift from his biological father.

But this time is enough, and there is no need to have anything to do with it in the future.

This is not something that Rong An can decide, he thought for a while, and finally bowed and left without saying anything.

Go back to the mansion and tell Rong Yin about the matter.

Rong Yin's face remained calm, and he didn't express his opinion.

Rong An then said again: "Yesterday in the temple, the eldest lady said that the old man was asking about my wife."

Rong Yin looked up.

Rong An bowed his head: "I just asked a few internal reasons, but I didn't say anything else."

Rong Yin looked away again, and continued to take care of the weapons.

"There is one more thing," Rong An slightly hesitated, "I just came back from the Feng family, and I heard that the second master of the Feng family went out to the city with King Jin to walk in the snow. There are still many people going, including General Shen, Marquis Wu Ning , as well as Fu Shizi and the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guard Xu Lan."

"Why did Xu Lan join them?" Rong Yin asked.

"I don't know." Rong An said, "But at noon today, King Jin arrived at the Xu family, and went to Fuqing Temple with Marquis Wu Ning and the others to rescue Miss Xu's family."

Rong Yin thought for a while, and remembered Xu Lan's origin.

Although the Dragon and Tiger Guards belonged to him, he was also in charge of the five armies' governor's mansion. He didn't go to the guards much. Xu Lan was Xu Yao's eldest son. He knew that he had worked in Nankang Wei before. Both Ying and Ling Yuan had worked in the Water Transportation Department in Nankangwei, so it's not surprising that they knew each other well.

But how could Xu Lan have friendship with Yang Su?

He thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "What is Shaoqing up to these days?"

……

Shaoqing is of course busy with the imperial guards in the palace. Chang Ying has just recovered from a serious injury. In fact, he is still in the stage of raising, and because the team is still mixed with people from the Eastern Palace, he had a round face after returning to Beijing, but recently his chin has become sharp again. .

Fortunately, Cheng Chun and Liu Bing were very flexible and humble, and they formed a tacit understanding after two months, so no one took advantage of any loopholes.

When Rong Yin arrived, it was not long before dawn, and Shaoqing was having breakfast.

"Why are you here?" Because of Changying, Shaoqing was not as relaxed towards him as before.

Rong Yin sat down, glanced at him and said, "Your second brother and sister Ying went out of the city?"

Shaoqing said yes.

Rong Yin said again: "I heard that General Xu of our Dragon and Tiger Guard also went with him. He is quite familiar with King Jin?"

Shaoqing ate a meat roll, and was about to answer, but paused for a moment, then stopped abruptly: "Why? I'm not familiar with it."

Rong Yin raised his lips, took a sip of tea, and came out.

After leaving the palace gate, he said to Rong An: "Shen Ying and Yang Su seem to be old acquaintances, so I personally went to Nankangwei to ask Tan Shao."

After Shen Changying left Beijing last year, he could easily know where he was staying from Xiuxiu.But other than that he didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Ying, Ling Yuan, and Xu Lan are all close friends. They met each other in Nankangwei, but Ling Yuan and Shen Ying are just friends. If Xu Lan and Yang Su are also old acquaintances, it is very likely that Yang Su also appeared in Nankangwei. , at least he stayed in Jiangnan.

So far, no one knows Yang Su's background in the first 21 years. He appeared in Jiangnan, so this is the only clue about his past.

It is impossible for King Jin to descend in the sky, and no one would be curious about him.

……

Tianxue's journey was slow, and we arrived at our destination before noon.It is a farm, there is a tall mountain nearby, and it is not too far from the pier.

When I got off the bus, there were Dian Shi and the owner of the mansion waiting here to welcome King Jin and all the officials.

The house is the place where the owner usually spends his leisure time. With the arrival of these people, the guards have surrounded the house like an iron barrel. Many villagers in the distance are wearing coir raincoats and stretching their necks to watch. The originally quiet snow field suddenly becomes lively. .

The two red plum trees inside the gate opened better than the ones that Xu Jinruo picked back yesterday. Everyone meandered into the two gates, and each followed the servants who led the way. The courtyard where people live.

Since Yang Su took Song Jun to live in the main courtyard, he had to support the pomp first.

There were many people who came to visit, ranging from the nearby government households to the squires in the village, but Yang Su listened to them all.

Jishuitan Wharf is the northern end of the water transport, and it is conceivable that this place is the territory of Yang Ji and Gu's family.Although Yang Su's focus has shifted to Wucheng Yamen recently, he knows that Ling Yuan has not relaxed.

Obviously, since there is no way to confront Yang Ji head-on, it would be good if he can poach a water transport department first.

Changying and Xu Jinruo share the same yard. After they settled down, she asked Zixiang to find out where Ling Yuan was first.

When Zi Xiang came back, Ling Yuan came over together.

"looking for me?"

He changed his clothes, and he was dressed in a silver-white brocade robe with a collar and a slim fit, making him as noble and clean as a heavenly man, and he looked less gloomy and serious than before.
