Chapter 608 King Cheng Heads South
Yun Yi seemed to be testing him intentionally, teaching him the rules of playing cards and deliberately letting him win.
But great uncle Eighth could not teach him anything. He didn't know what cards to play and just played randomly, which made little Yue'er beside him so angry that she stomped her feet and stopped giving him any advice and went to play by herself.
Shen Yuan didn't even look at them. Bai Shao had already arrived with his servants carrying a lot of bags.
"Master Siwei, these are the things that the Ye family from the capital asked us to bring over. Should we send them back first?"
They were outside the house, the table was set outside, and the door was closed.
Su Wanwan didn't understand and asked:
"Beijing? Have you been to Beijing recently?"
Bai Shao nodded:
"Yes, there are two restaurants opened in the capital. I went there to take care of it. I happened to run into Miss Ye Er, and she asked me to bring some things back."
Su Wanwan was also happy when she heard this, and immediately went to meet him home.
Shen Yuan followed.
The servant put down all those things, and Su Wanwan was not in a hurry to see them.
The things that her mother and the others brought must have been her favorite food, clothes and so on.
The last time I went to Beijing, I found some delicious cakes and clothes there, which were definitely not the kind you can find in this county town.
Shen Yuan has already started chatting with Bai Shao:
"Why did Mr. Bai come with the Eighth Prince?"
Bai Shao:
"I met it on the way. It was sent by His Royal Highness King Cheng. His Royal Highness seemed to be in a hurry to go south. Oh, by the way, this is the letter from His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince to you."
Bai Shao took out a letter from his arms.
Shen Yuan's eyes trembled:
Heading south?
What did King Cheng do in the south?
Su Wanwan also looked over, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Shen Yuan read the letter directly.
"Go to Pingnan County, don't worry, I'll leave Old Eight to you first."
It's so simple that it doesn't even look like a letter.
It sounds like an explanation written in a hurry.
After Shen Yuan finished reading it, he also showed it to Su Wanwan.
There was disbelief in the eyes of both of them.
Going to Pingnan County at this time?
Pingnan County is where Marquis Wu'an is stationed. I heard that in about a month, he will go to the capital to report on his work before the New Year.
Although Marquis Wu'an was stationed in Pingnan County, he was in charge of the military of the entire country after all, and he had to report to the capital once every three years.
This year is exactly the third year.
Moreover, Your Majesty has long intended to summon him back to the capital to appoint someone to take charge of the military power in the south.
However, there are no great generals in the court, and the Japanese pirates are rampant in the south. Any slight disturbance may bring disaster.
For the sake of the overall situation, Yun Xuanshuo has never allowed him to come to Beijing to take up the post.
This time, under the pretext of rectifying the court, and as it was also the day for reporting on work, he was summoned back to the capital with good reason.
In fact, any discerning person can see that this time, when Marquis Wu'an enters the capital, he will probably stay in the capital to command the military and will most likely not be stationed there again.
Now that Pang Qingping, the son of Marquis Wu'an, is in charge of Pingnan County, it is naturally safe.
The current Marquis of Wu'an should still be in Pingnan County.
So, King Cheng fled to Pingnan County...
This has to make people think a lot.
Today, Shen Yuan and his wife were extremely surprised.
The Eighth Prince, who was usually nowhere to be found, came to the banquet, while the Tenth Prince went to Pingnan County!
Bai Shao saw that something was wrong with the two men's expressions, so he didn't ask any more questions.
That wasn't something he could ask.
"The capital was very lively a while ago, but it was a lively scene that made people panic. Fortunately, His Majesty acted quickly and many corrupt officials were removed from office overnight."
Bai Shao sighed, bringing the couple back to their senses.
"This is all thanks to the Siwei. If it weren't for the Siwei who discovered that the rebels were illegally mining iron ore, Your Majesty would not have had this opportunity to rectify the government."
Bai Shao also complimented him.
"Mr. Bai doesn't like those things outside, so stop the compliments."
Su Wanwan joked.
Bai Shao immediately smiled and said:
"I am telling the truth, but I don't know the rules. I cannot criticize these people in the court. Please don't blame me, Sir."
As he joked, there was a knock on the door outside.
It was noon time and the uncle called them to prepare for the meal.
The roads in the village were filled with banquets and crowded with people. The scene was very spectacular. The people of Daliushu Village became the hosts and warmly invited the guests to eat.
Shen Lan was sitting at a table with her mother. She saw a familiar figure from afar and kept looking over there.
Feng Chunyun followed her gaze and saw that it was Bai Shao. His face darkened and he pinched his daughter's thigh hard.
"Just be quiet and be obedient. Your son-in-law is a good person. You are married now, so stop thinking about those unnecessary things all the time."
She leaned over to her daughter's ear and warned her.
Shen Lan also glanced at Yang Qiangguang who was not far away, and Yang Qiangguang happened to look at her as well.
The couple looked at each other, and Yang Qiangguang immediately smiled with a doting look on his face.
Shen Lan turned her face away.
When Feng Chunyun saw this scene, the more he looked at his son-in-law, the better he thought he was. He secretly sighed that his daughter did not appreciate the blessings she had.
"You should be nicer to your husband in the future and behave like a good wife."
Feng Chunyun gave another warning.
At this moment, a child suddenly ran by and accidentally fell, falling right in front of Shen Lan.
The child was holding a chicken leg in his hand, and the chicken leg flew directly into Shen Lan's arms.
"Hey, you bastard, you're eating right now, why are you running away?"
A woman came over and quickly pulled the child up, and then quickly apologized to Shen Lan:
"Sister, I'm sorry, the child didn't mean it."
Shen Lan was already feeling a little depressed, and she was wearing a new set of clothes today. The grease from the chicken leg just happened to stain a large area on her chest, and she immediately became furious.
"Isn't it okay if you didn't do it on purpose? The oil can't be washed off. I just changed into new clothes. You have to pay for it!"
Shen Lan was really angry. She got her clothes dirty in public and felt ashamed. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
The chicken leg fell from the chest to the leg, and the entire area was covered in oil.
She picked up the chicken leg and was about to throw it at the child. Seeing this, Feng Chunyun grabbed her and the chicken leg fell to the ground, right in front of the child.
"What's going on? What's going on? Shen Lan, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Zhang Cuihua secretly sighed that Shen Lan was ignorant. Why was she fussing with a child? The child really didn't mean it, everyone saw it.
Shen Yuan is inviting everyone to a banquet today. Even if you want to give Shen Yuan some face, you can't make a scene at the banquet.
If the child did it on purpose, he should be taught a lesson, but if he didn’t do it on purpose…
When Yang Qiangguang saw this, he ran over immediately. Seeing the oil stains on his wife's body and the crying child on the ground, his brows frowned again and again.
"Lanlan, are you okay?"
He still cared about his wife first.
Shen Lan felt wronged:
"Look, what this kid has done to my clothes. How can I face people?"
Yang Qiangguang immediately realized that she was not injured, so he was relieved and said with a smile:
"It's just one piece of clothing. I'll buy you ten later. It's okay."
He hurried to comfort her.
Zhang Cuihua wanted to say something, but seeing that the boy from the Yang family was quite sensible and did not follow his wife in making trouble and was still trying to coax her, she stopped talking.
