Chapter 32 Jiang Wencheng also wants to return to Beijing

The rift between Yan's father and the old man of the Li family was not resolved in the end, but the result that Yan Chaonian wanted was achieved. The next day, Li Chun, Li Xia, brought Li Changji and Li Changxiang to the garrison.

Yesterday, Mr. Li made his position clear and forcefully suppressed his wife and two daughters-in-law. Now the Li brothers can go into battle with ease.

In her capacity as the temporary owner of Jinfang, Yan's mother told the two brothers what to do next. The mother and daughter often discussed matters concerning Jinfang, and Yan's mother got the hang of it quickly.

After listening for a while, Yan Chaonian stepped out and continued to prepare for his departure for the capital.

"Still can't see anyone?"

It had been two or three days since Yuan Shen came back, but Jiang Wencheng had not had the chance to see him. The people he sent to the garrison came back saying that Yuan Shen was not there, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Cui Yong said bitterly, "Master, we went to the garrison in person, and the people from the government office also went, but we were not able to enter the gate of the garrison."

Jiang Wencheng, whose temper was getting worse and worse, threw the teacup in his hand and asked, "How is the matter with Jinduan?"

Cui Yong was even more upset. "We went to a few weaving shops, but their brocades were too inferior to Chaojinfang's. We also went to the weaving shops of the Zhang and Zhao families. They did have a few good ones, but they wanted cash."

They now had less than ten taels of silver left in total, and the look in the eyes of the innkeeper downstairs made them feel even more uncomfortable.

After saying that, he took out a letter from home from his bosom. No one knew what happened in the mansion. The old lady and the lady sent a letter here almost every day. "Today's letter has just been delivered."

Jiang Wencheng got angry when he saw the two letters. After taking them, he unfolded the letter and glanced at it casually. His brows frowned even more tightly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting in the mansion, and the battle was becoming increasingly fierce. First his mother fell ill, then Ruzhen fell ill, and now his mother-in-law was also making trouble in the mansion, and she wrote letters to urge him to go back.

One said that if he didn't go back, he would be forced to death by his daughter-in-law; the other said that the Marquis' Mansion had no place to stand, and if he didn't go back, he and his mother would have to go back to her parents' home.

"When will Wen Zhen come back?"

"The government has sent someone to invite him. It will take about six or seven days."

The letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball. Jiang Wencheng took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the pen and ink. I will write a letter to Wen Zhen, and then..."

"Pack your luggage and prepare to return to Beijing."

Cui Yong breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally going back. The southwest was a strange place. They had not had a smooth journey since they arrived here. "Our lost carriage has not been found yet. Only you and the young master can ride in our carriage. I will contact the escort agency to escort us back to Beijing. We will pay you when we get there."

Jiang Wencheng said 'hmm', "You make your own arrangements."

Cui Yong was busy preparing writing brushes and ink for Jiang Wencheng. The waiter who was checking the news at the door went downstairs to ask the innkeeper to register that he had broken a blue and white teacup. The innkeeper sighed, "He breaks things every now and then, and I don't know when he will pay for it."

The guy was also helpless, "I see they are close to the people from the government office, so there should be no problem, right?"

"hope so."

Yan Chaonian was so busy that she almost forgot about Jiang Wencheng and his son. She was preparing to pack up the good fabrics she had saved and take them away. "I will inevitably have social events in the capital, so I need to make a few more sets of clothes. Xun'er is growing fast, so I have to make more."

"Take them all."

"Has the brocade I asked for been delivered?"

When she arrives in the capital, she will most likely be summoned to the palace. She cannot go empty-handed. She must bring some fabrics with her. "The tea and white fungus I requested have all been delivered. Please hurry up and don't neglect them."

"You should also bring more money orders, as there will be many places to spend money in Beijing." "You must prepare all the expenses for the trip."

Shuiyun was busy going in and out with a few maids. At this time, Doctor Liu came back, exhausted, with two boxes of medicine. "This trip went smoothly, thanks to the extra money given by Madam. With these medicines, as long as the injury is not fatal, I can ensure the general's safe return."

"Thank you, Doctor Liu."

Yan Chaonian handed him a bundle and said, "Tomorrow is the day to set off. This is prepared for Doctor Liu. There is also 500 taels of silver in it. Doctor Liu, you have worked hard on the journey, take care of yourself."

Doctor Liu took it carefully, "Thank you, ma'am."

Yan Chaonian said, "General, please ask Doctor Liu to take good care of you in the future. If you need anything, you can send a letter to the Tongcheng Escort Agency in the capital, and I will send someone to pick it up."

"We will also find a way to send you what you want."

Although she had been away from the capital for more than three years, she still had acquaintances in the capital and it was convenient to exchange letters.

Doctor Liu was anxious to take the medicine back and pack it up, so he left in a hurry without any delay.

Yuan Shen did not come back that night. Xiao Xun'er, who came to find his father, cried again. He called "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" for a long time. Yan Chaonian also held him and comforted him for a long time. Finally, he fell asleep because he was tired of crying.

When he woke up in the morning, he sat under the eaves in the front yard waiting. No one could coax him away. Yan Chaonian had no choice but to send someone to the army to ask Yuan Shen to come back today to take care of the child, at least to just come back to give instructions.

"Still waiting here?"

Yan's mother came over and said with emotion, "They are father and son, connected by blood. The father led his troops to war before he was out of confinement, and never came back to see her. This time he only stayed for half a day and went out for a ride. He can't believe he can't leave."

"It's also pitiful."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she turned away to wipe away her tears. She didn't know when they would meet again.

Her crying also made Yan Chaonian's eyes red. This was the scene Yan's father saw when he came over. "What are you doing? Why are you crying again?"

Mother Yan glared at him unhappily and said, "I just feel sorry for my grandson."

Yan's father had no choice but to pick up his grandson and say he would take him to ride the wooden horse. "Grandpa will teach you. You can ride it for your father to see later. Let's go."

Watching the grandparents and grandchildren leave, Yan's mother burst into tears again. This time, she was worried that Yan Chao would have a hard time going to the capital with the child alone. Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "I'm not going to be imprisoned. It's not that difficult. Don't worry about me."

"I'll be back soon."

Yan's mother was very worried and told her to bring more money and people with her. "If you don't come back in a year, I will come to the capital to see you."

"You're right. If Yuan Shen fights, no one will dare to bully you. If they want to bully you, you can't tolerate it. You can't be like before. I tell you, only when you are strong, those who want to bully you will think twice. If you meet someone who doesn't have eyes, you can slap him in the face."

"I've sent someone to get you some twenty or so guards. Take them with you for self-defense."

Yan Chaonian had a bad feeling in his heart, "The person you are looking for is not a bandit, right?"

"Forget it, I have guards."

Mother Yan glared at her and said, "Don't worry about it. Just take it with you."
