I really became a king.

Chapter 59: Rich and powerful but not returning home is like a night walk in brocade clothes

The imperial capital of Dali is close to the northwestern border. A day's journey takes you to the first pass of Dali, Humen Pass. Once you pass Humen Pass, there is an endless wasteland. Except for a few shadowy trees that can be seen occasionally, the rest of the place is barren, without even any bushes.

In fact, it is not just outside the pass that is like this. Once you enter Humen Pass and all the way to the imperial capital of Dali, the scene is desolate. If it weren't for the imperial capital gathering people here, this area would be even more sparsely populated.

At this time, on an official road outside Humen Pass, a carefully built carriage was speeding along. Unlike ordinary carriages, this carriage was not only twice as large, but also completely black. This unusual sense of heaviness, coupled with the two bull beasts pulling the carriage, added a murderous aura.

Around this carriage, hundreds of cavalrymen were guarding it tightly, wearing black soft armor all over their bodies, and riding blood-red bullfighting beasts under their crotch. They looked like rhinos, but were more ferocious than rhinos.

The Bullfighting Cavalry is the unique guard of Prince Duan’s Palace.

Jiang Zhongshan was sitting in the spacious carriage. His mountain-like body took up almost half of the carriage. As usual, his dark face had a gloomy expression.

Opposite, there was a young woman with a pretty face. She was holding tightly to the collar of a little girl of about five or six years old, and scolded her softly, "Miaomiao, close the window quickly, don't let the wind and sand in, otherwise the clothes will get dirty."

After saying that, he gently patted the other person's clothes, as if he cherished this brand new clothes very much. Then he turned around and reached out to pat another girl who was about eight or nine years old.

The girl was also wearing a brand new dress. After being hit, she stuck out her tongue and quickly closed the window on the other side.

"It's okay. Let them see if they want to." Jiang Zhongshan said.

The pretty young woman looked at her husband in surprise. Normally, he was a taciturn person, especially in front of his two daughters. He almost never spoke on his own initiative.

But today she spoke for the first time. After a moment's hesitation, the young woman let go of her daughter's hand.

After Miaomiao regained her freedom, she immediately reopened the small window, stuck her little head out, and giggled from time to time. Along with her laughter, a gust of wind and sand blew in through the window.

"Miaomiao, this will really dirty your clothes. You won't have new clothes to wear during the New Year." The young woman felt a little distressed. She had saved money and spent a lot of time to make these new clothes for her two daughters.

I originally planned to wear it during the Chinese New Year, but today is a special day, so I wore it early.

“No, Mom is lying.” Miaomiao reluctantly retracted her head but did not close the window. Her little eyes were still staring outside with interest.

"Sixth Uncle said that we will have new clothes to wear every day from now on."

The young woman was a little confused when she heard this, and asked, "What Sixth Uncle?"

"Miaomiao is talking about my sixth brother, right?" Jiang Zhongshan interjected.

After being reminded, the young woman also reacted and looked at her husband. This was the second sentence he took the initiative to say. She asked curiously:
"Miao Miao, when have you met your sixth uncle?" These two words sounded awkward in her ears, but they brought a kind of warmth she had never experienced before.

"Yesterday, when I was playing with Old Seven."

"What Seventh Old Man? That's your seventh uncle." The young woman couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder.

"But that's what Uncle Six called him..." Then he remembered something and said happily, "I almost forgot, Uncle Six also gave me something to wear next to my body, it's so beautiful, oh, yes, there's also my sister's..."

As he spoke, he took out two square jade pendants from his pocket. They were gentle to the touch, crystal clear, and had a hint of emerald green.

"What is this?" The young woman's face changed, and she took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. There were three characters on the front: Prince Duan's Mansion, and a bullfighting beast on the bottom. On the back, one was engraved with Miaomiao and the other was engraved with Xiaotong. It was really the identity jade card of Prince Duan's Mansion. The young woman covered her mouth with her other hand, and her vision was a little blurry. She had finally waited for this jade card, which was a recognition of the identities of her two daughters.

"Uncle...Seventh Uncle also has one, but it's black and ugly..." After saying that, seeing that his mother wasn't paying attention, he stuck his head out of the window again, as if he saw something interesting, and started laughing.

The young woman did not stop him this time. She just quietly looked at the two evil jade identity cards in her hand. The more she looked, the more she wanted to cry, and the more she wanted to cry, the happier she was.

Jiang Xiaotong, who was already eight or nine years old, looked at the jade token with her mother for a while. She wanted to take it several times but failed. She looked at her sister with half of her body sticking out of the window, giggling, and felt a little envious.

She seemed to want to do the same, but after taking a look at Jiang Zhongshan who had a serious look on his face, she sat there quietly, biting her lower lip.

"Do you want to go out for a horse ride?" Jiang Zhongshan suddenly asked.

Jiang Xiaotong was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she saw her father smile at her. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."

"I'm going too, I'm going too." Miaomiao immediately shrank back when she heard this.

"Okay, Dad will take you to go horseback riding."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhongshan picked up one in each hand, jumped out of the carriage, and landed on an extremely majestic bullfighting beast. The two little girls giggled.

The young woman was still in a daze about what had just happened, until her two daughters screamed in surprise and joy, and then she realized:
"The wind and sand are strong, be careful not to blind your eyes..."

"Haha...it's okay, I'm here."

Listening to her husband's answer and looking at her two daughters snuggling tightly in his arms, she felt that her husband seemed to have really changed. He had never been so close to his daughters before.

To be exact, the entire Prince Duan's Mansion has changed, and it's all because of one person.

Her daughter had a jade token symbolizing her birth, and her husband also had his own personal guards. This time when she returned to her parents' home, she asked her husband to bring his personal guards with him.

In the past, she had always been alone with her two daughters, renting a bullock cart and traveling for five or six days, and she was always worried and frightened. She had never ridden in such a noble carriage, let alone with personal guards.

When the couple went to ask for permission to leave the house, the other party said something puzzling. What was it? Yes, if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night, and people will know about it.

She couldn't fully understand this sentence, but she felt that it was something she had always longed for, especially since it was her grandfather's birthday.

Although she would go back every year, she would always bring her daughter with her. This was the first time that her husband went back with her, and he was also accompanied by his personal guards.

Yun Shang, the current head of the Yun family in Heshuo City, started from scratch, created such a large business, and became the richest man in Heshuo City. He is a legendary figure in this small Heshuo City.

Today is his 90th birthday. There is a constant stream of people coming to his house. In addition to local people, there are also many people from other places who come to celebrate his birthday.

As a result, some onlookers gathered outside the Yun family mansion. There were beggars who came to ask for congratulations after hearing the news, and there were also people who came simply to watch the fun. But those who paid close attention would find that this year's birthday banquet seemed to be a little different from previous years.
