Chapter 23 Where Did This Living Turtle Come From?

Yan Chaonian was delighted to get the news. She was not surprised by such a result. She looked at the brocades presented by various companies, and the only one that could compete with Chaojinfang was the brocade with a red background and full flowers. Both were brocades with full flowers, and the weaving skills of the two brocades were comparable, and both used the best materials, but the one from Chaojinfang was more practical.

It is especially suitable for making clothes for elderly ladies. It is low-key and luxurious, and unforgettable.

She didn't live in Beijing for nothing for several years.

Before Yan Chaonian could speak, Yuan Shen became interested and asked, "Is the news true?"

Shuiyun nodded happily, "The news reported by my second uncle's man must be true."

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "Send someone to the Daci Temple to check the situation, and then see what the two uncles have planned for the evening. Also, tell the two uncles that the general is back."

Shui Yun happily turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Yan Chaonian turned around and smiled at Yuan Shen, "Today is truly a happy day."

Yuan Shen put down his chopsticks, "It is indeed worth rejoicing."

Seeing that he looked exhausted but was still trying to stay awake, Yan Chaonian forced him to go to sleep for a while. "People outside will know that you're back by nightfall. By then, there will be so many people and things looking for you, and you won't know how busy you will be."

"Go to sleep while you have the chance. I'll have the door closed and no one will be seeing today."

Yuan Shen no longer tried to be stubborn. He was indeed very tired and fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed.

At this time, Xiao Xun'er also fell asleep, so he was placed next to Yuan Shen so that the two of them could sleep together.

"Tell the kitchen staff to prepare some light dishes tonight, not too greasy, and not too fancy, but more substantial."

"I will close the door and refuse visitors. Except for my great uncle, anyone else who comes to see the general should tell him that he is very tired after riding back quickly and that they can talk tomorrow if they have anything else to say."

The people below immediately followed the instructions. Yan's mother said that she would go back tomorrow. "Your brother will be back soon. I will go back to pack up. If he comes back this time, I will find him a wife no matter what he says."

Speaking of this, Yan Chaonian's eyes were filled with guilt. Her brother originally had a wife, but because something happened at home, his sister-in-law could not accept living the life of an ordinary citizen, so she asked for a divorce and returned to her parents' home.

"I haven't lived at home for a while. What am I going back for? Big brother's bedroom is here too. I can just live here."

"What did you say?"

The Yan family had already bought a house in the city, and Yan's mother moved in to take care of Yan Chaonian because Yuan Shen was away on the expedition and Yan Chaonian was still in confinement. "How can a mother-in-law live in her son-in-law's house all the time? What's that?"

"You left right after your son-in-law came back. If you didn't know, you would think he was kicked out."

Yan Chaonian was reluctant to let her go, "There's people in the house, so just tell them to clean up tomorrow and wait for big brother to come back."

Sometimes, even the strong-willed Yan's mother couldn't beat Yan Chaonian, "Then stay for a few more days and wait for your brother to come back."

In this way, Yan Chaonian became busy again happily, and the servants in the mansion were also filled with joy at Yuan Shen's return, and their steps became much lighter.

As the sun set, the gate of the garrison was knocked again. This time it was the legal advisor from the government office who wanted to see General Yuan. The gatekeeper turned him away. The legal advisor had no choice but to turn around and return to the government office. He said to Jiang Wencheng, who had no expression on his face, "Sir, General Yuan must be very tired after riding all the way back. He is resting now."

"How about we go tomorrow?"

This plague god had guards and followers everywhere he went out, but he was still robbed. He is such a waste.

It was interesting that he came to the government office to ask for an explanation without any care. In his opinion, he was short of money after being robbed repeatedly, and he wanted the government office to give him money, which was wishful thinking.

Jiang Wencheng raised his eyes and said, "The garrison commander is so negligent. Does he still take the imperial court and the emperor seriously? When I return to the capital, I will report him to the emperor."

The master smiled and said, "You are joking, my lord. General Yuan was not responsible for the city's security. Helping to suppress the scoundrels was just his job. If something goes wrong, you can't really blame him."

"General Yuan has just defeated the barbarians and has made great achievements."

After working so hard and coming back to take a rest, they don’t even take the emperor seriously?
Where did this bastard come from?

Jiang Wencheng's face turned pale. The lawyer spoke to him in a friendly way for a while, and then sent a government car to take him back to Dingxing Inn. The guards and followers did not dare to leave, and all knelt upright in front of Jiang Wencheng, saying that the head of the household should be punished for the disadvantage.

Jiang Wencheng just sat there drinking tea without saying a word. You could hear a pin drop in the room. Even Jiang Chongyuan could only stand obediently by his side, not daring to make a sound.

"uncle."

Cui Yong, who had stayed at the Daci Temple to watch the results of the competition, came back on his feet. Seeing a room full of people kneeling, he was startled. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, the competition is over. This year, Chaojinfang still won first place."

"The two managers of Chaojinfang have booked Furong Tower in the city to host a banquet for merchants tonight. I heard that the winning piece of brocade will be sold tonight, and the merchant who bids the highest will win."

Such a result made Jiang Wencheng feel even more upset. He had seen that piece of brocade before. It was luxurious and extraordinary. Both the color and pattern were worthy of the empress dowager. What if he was the one to present it to her?

"Go find the manager of Chaojinfang and tell him that the Marquis's Mansion wants the piece of brocade. They won't lose a penny."

Cui Yong's mouth was full of bitterness. If it were in the past, he would have gone there arrogantly, but who here knew their Pingshun Marquis Mansion?

Before his identity became unknown, who was the old man on the card?

"Yes."

Cui Yong suddenly envied the people kneeling on the ground and was worried that the people from Chaojinfang would beat him up.

After Cui Yong left, Jiang Wencheng's gaze fell on the people kneeling there, a bunch of trash.

"If you can't find your lost property, you don't have to go back to the capital. Go away."

Several people hurriedly stood up and retreated quickly. In this way, only the father and son were left in the room. Jiang Chongyuan shrank his neck and spoke carefully, "Father, I... I'm going to review my lessons."

Seeing that Jiang Wencheng didn't react, he made up his mind and ran out. Jiang Wencheng then leaned back in his chair, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness all over his body.

Chaojinfang, it’s Chaojinfang again, why is it so difficult to take over a merchant?

Wasn’t it easy for Yan to manage those businesses in the mansion in the past?

Just look at the account book and give a few instructions and the money will be deposited into the account. Why is it so difficult for him?

This place in the southwest is indeed the best place for him.

In Furong Tower, the brothers Li Chun and Li Xia were smiling so hard that their faces were about to break. How could people not be happy after scoring twice?
The loud congratulations from the merchants made them feel proud. They waved their hands and promised to have good food and wine tonight. But when they learned that someone came to the door and wanted brocade worth thousands of taels without any reason, they did not even let him in. "Tell him that the brocade has been sold to a place, don't even think about it."

You don’t even need to think to know who it is. Are people from the capital so shameless?
