Chapter 23 Special Family
Eunuch Xue did not dare to delay the time for a cup of tea. He also said that the emperor had a secret order to let the Song family return to Beijing as soon as they received the imperial edict.

Jingyue still couldn't figure out what was going on, while Leng Yu and the others cleaned up and saluted themselves, Jingyue came to the room of Song Jingqi and the others who had just returned from the study.

"Yue'er, have you packed everything?" Song Jingqi only put a few military books and a change of clothes into the package.

Jingyue walked up to him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on? Why did the emperor suddenly rehabilitate our family?"

Song Jingqi pondered for a moment, looked at Jingyue and said, "Actually, it wasn't too sudden. Prince Xian has been secretly investigating the case of the second uncle and the third uncle, and later found out that Yan Beitian, the lord of Beicheng, colluded with the enemy, and then deliberately fabricated the case of the second uncle and the third uncle. Uncle's matter, and used poison to kill the second and third uncle's family first. Now that Yan Beitian has pleaded guilty and was punished, the emperor has rehabilitated our family."

But Jingyue felt that things were not that simple, and looking at Song Jingqi's expression, it seemed that there was something else hidden.Jingyue didn't continue to ask, at this time Song Jingrui and Song Jingkuan also came back from the study to pack their things.

The Song family didn't have many things in Xiaozhuangzi, so they packed them up quickly.Song Quan, Zhongyi, Zhongbiao, Zhongshan, and Zhonghai still stayed in Xiaozhuangzi, while Zhongbao became Jingyue's special groom and followed them back to Beijing.

Jingyue still had 4000 taels of silver bills in her hand, and she gave 2000 taels of them to Song Quan. This place is no different than the capital, and it is not particularly convenient to spend money.She also explained to Zhongbiao all the prepared New Year's dishes and uncooked vegetables in the kitchen.

From receiving the imperial edict to leaving Xiaozhuangzi in Qianhuang Mountain, it took a total of two hours.Jingyue thought to herself: How anxious should the emperor be? Let the rehabilitated Song family rush back to Beijing as if fleeing a disaster. Now it is the end of the new year. The first ancient Chinese New Year that I am looking forward to is disrupted by the emperor's imperial decree. up.

"Miss, when we return to the capital, it will be Chinese New Year! Alas—what a pity!" Leng Yu muttered like a little old lady.

Lengshuang spread another layer of rabbit fur blanket on Jingyue's legs, which she sewed with the rabbit skin of a wild rabbit caught by Song Jingke, just because she was afraid that Jingyue's legs would freeze.Seeing that Leng Yu was depressed, she asked, "Aren't you also looking forward to returning to Beijing? Why do you still say it's a pity? Do you want to stay and guard Zhuangzi with Uncle Quan?"

Leng Yu looked resentful: "I'm really looking forward to going back to Beijing with Miss! But, I'm also looking forward to celebrating the festival with Miss in Xiaozhuangzi! We bought so many years of goods, and cooked so many dishes. It must be very lively." The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and in the end, if it weren't for the good hearing of the people in the carriage, they couldn't hear her next few words clearly. "But I'm afraid it will be the 29th of the twelfth lunar month when I return to the capital. There are no people in the mansion now. It's pitiful just thinking about it."

Jingyue didn't know what to say about her girl, she was lively and cheerful, sometimes she was overthinking, she was mature, and sometimes she seemed too naive.

Jingyue patted Leng Yu's little face affectionately, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, your lady can cook you a lot of delicious food in a day, so don't be too sad!"

"Miss, I'm not sad! Huh? Well, I have a little bit, really just a little bit of sadness. Although the capital is good, there are many bad people. Those people have bullied Miss before, and Leng Yu doesn't like them. Leng Yu remembered that when Jingyue was stupid, she had to go out several times to meet people, but those noble ladies not only laughed and humiliated her own lady face to face, but even a few vicious ones even wanted to murder her.If it wasn't for her and Lengshuang's vigilance, Miss might have died long ago.

Jingyue heard the worry in Leng Yu's words, and to be honest, she also felt a little uneasy about her upcoming life in the capital.It's not fear, but unease. In modern times, this kind of unease is only a signal sent out by the sensitive sixth nerve reflex when she detects the taste of conspiracy.

"Miss, don't listen to Leng Yu's nonsense, there are no good and bad people in any place! Now you are the first lady of the Song family, and people in the capital will never dare to underestimate you. Besides, the current lady is different from before. Those people If you want to bully Miss, I'm afraid you're asking for trouble." Leng Shuang said sternly.She thought of how her young lady in Pingshan Town scared that evil young man from the Ling family to the point of pissing his pants with two or three words.

"You girl, you make me, your young lady, like a poisonous insect and a beast. Don't worry, if people don't come to provoke me, why should I bother to provoke others. Remember, once you return to the capital, don't take the initiative to cause trouble. Anyone who is right When it comes to people and things, first learn to tolerate three points, if the other party makes an inch of progress, then you must learn to fight back. Courtesy first and soldiers later, understand?" Jingyue secretly instructed a few maids.

"Yes, miss!"

After going to the capital, Jingyue knew that no matter whether she wanted to or not, intentionally or not, some things couldn't be avoided after all.

After three days of unimpeded wind and snow and starry night, finally on the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Song family and their party entered the east gate of the capital.

At this time, the capital was covered with snow, and the cold wind knocked on the Zhumen.Jingyue in the carriage was not as excited as when she first arrived in the capital, she was still sleeping soundly in her sleep.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, an angry and majestic voice sounded, and Jingyue was awakened.

Seeing Jingyue opened her sleepy eyes, Lengshuang quickly covered her with another cloak, fearing that she would be invaded by the cold wind.

"What happened?" Jingyue asked as she stood up.

Leng Yu, who happened to go outside to check the situation, had already opened the curtain and came in.Apart from her indignation, there was also a trace of disgust on her small face.

"What happened?" Jingyue asked again.

Leng Yu lowered the curtain of the carriage, and then said to Jingyue and the others: "It's Mrs. Zheng and her two sons and daughters, who are kneeling in front of our house to plead guilty! Hmph, snobs!"

Madam Zheng?Since Jingyue woke up, she has never heard anything from her family about Mrs. Zheng, so she asked Leng Yu to explain in more detail.

Seeing Leng Yu's angry little face, Leng Shuang said to Jingyue: "Miss, this Mrs. Zheng is the wife of General Zheng, the brother-in-law of the great general, the cousin of the current empress, and the natal family of the concubine, but she is only a member of Zheng Guogong's family. A concubine of the Second Household was valued by the family because she married General Zheng!"

"Then what is she doing kneeling outside our mansion?" Jingyue was even more confused. What are the wife and children of her father's brother-in-law doing in front of the Song Mansion, besides, the Song Mansion has just returned from rehabilitation today?
Leng Yu regained his strength, and said, "Miss, you don't know that General Zheng was originally an orphan. The old marshal adopted him and let him live in the Song family. He was treated as another son since he was a child. He and the general, who is the young lady's father, have had a very good relationship since childhood. Even after he was named a general, and even got married and had children, he never left the Song Mansion. But five years ago, during a war with the Nanman Kingdom In the middle, General Zheng died in order to save the Great General, and since then, the Song family has been supporting his family."
