Chapter 309 The Long-cherished Wish Before Death
"No," Xia Zhaoyi passed the hen in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm here to give this chicken to Mr. Shen. I have something to do, so I have to go first."

Steward Lin grabbed the old hen, smiled and shook his head.

The Shen family and the Guo family would not eat this chicken, the little doll is just a doll, really cute.

"Okay," said Steward Lin, "I'll send it to the young master right now."

"Thank you." Xia Zhaoyi cupped his fists, looking like an adult.

Shi Shi took out the tea leaves, but the girl was gone.

Steward Lin handed over the old hen, Shi Shi waved his hands and left: "I want to send you, but I won't!"

If it wasn't for the fact that the girl had some connection with his young master, he would even have wanted to report it to the government!

The weather is fine, the sun is high, the grass is luxuriant on the roadside, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus fades away, and then there is the fragrance of plum blossoms.

A carriage came slowly and stopped at Shengjing Long Street.

Zai Chun jumped out of the car, turned around and raised his hand and said, "Miss."

Zhao Ning helped her hand down, raised his eyes and looked forward.

Rumor has it that Shengjing Street is one of the busiest streets in the capital city. It is surrounded by prosperous businesses and shops. There are all kinds of tea, pottery, jewelry, and silk. It is the place with the most commercial trade in the entire capital city.

Zhao Ning looked at the rich man in brocade clothes and walking around the shop with his entourage, nodded and said: "Under the current situation, there are so many people on this street, it really lives up to its reputation."

"Miss, this is our shop." Zai Chun said, looking at the side of the road where the carriage was parked.

Three very wide shops stood side by side, one selling swords, one selling porcelain, and the other selling flowers and plants.

"Okay." Zhao Ning nodded.

The stewards of the three shops were waiting respectfully for the new owner to take over, with a thick stack of old and new ledgers in hand.

Zhao Ning didn't even look at it after entering, and went straight to the backyard.

According to her instructions, the three families in the backyard were opened up to form one family. It was spacious and open, and a few good garden masters were hired to design and manage it very elegantly.

"It's so beautiful," Zai Chun said with a smile while supporting Zhao Ning, "Miss, this place is even more beautiful than the shop on Nanhuang Street we visited yesterday."

Zhao Ning didn't speak, and looked up at the mansion in front of him, his beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and his brows were deep.

Zai Chun followed her gaze, paused, and said in a low voice: "This is Dingguo Mansion, I told you before buying it, miss, don't you think it's unlucky?"

The chilly wind gently blew the ends of Zhao Ning's long hair and the corner under the veil.

"What's so unlucky?" Zhao Ning said indifferently, "In the ages of human beings, from drinking blood and eating fruits for food, until now there are many mansions and tigers roaring, no one has died in any land."

She took a few steps forward and turned to look south.

This courtyard is in the southeast of Duke Dingguo's mansion, separated by a small road, and she can't even see the end of the high wall when she looks at it this way.

"It's really big." Zhao Ning said.

"Of course, this is Dingguo's mansion." Zaichun said.

For more than 300 years, the great family has stood here since the founding of the country. The wealth and glory of the past generations can be described as amazing, and it is impossible to imagine.

"It's really sad." Zhao Ning said again.

"Yes," Zai Chun nodded, "such a big Dingguo mansion just disappeared, look, miss."

Zhao Ning followed what she was pointing at.

There is a side door in the distance, and there are two seals pasted in front of the door. The color on the seals has faded badly and has faded.

"It must be very desolate inside," Zai Chun sighed, "I only found out that Dingguo Mansion ended up like this after I came to Beijing, and I don't know why."

"I don't know why," Zhao Ning raised his eyebrows, "but I want to go in."

"Ah?" Zai Chun was startled, lowered his voice, "Miss, what did you say?"

Zhao Ning glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "Didn't you keep asking me what that little purse is?"

"That's right..." Zaichun felt uneasy for no reason, and asked, "What is that purse that you have been carrying around all the time?"

Zhao Ning took it out from his sleeve, the small purse was bulging, a bit worn out in the sun, but it was very clean, and there was a scent on the outside of the purse, which was the incense from Zhao Ning's body.

"It's a small ashes," Zhao Ning said, "Miss Xia, the ashes of Xia Zhaoyi."

Zaichun's eyes widened instantly.

"Lin Youqing gave it to me," Zhao Ning looked at the small purse and said softly, "She asked me to bring it back. This was her long-cherished wish before she died."

"Mine," Zai Chun said in a low voice, "Oh my God."

........................

A large group of officers and soldiers walked by, escorting many people in a long row.

The people on the side of the road gathered around and looked at the detainees. Most of them were dressed in thin clothes, their faces and hands were blue from the cold, and many of them had no shoes on their feet.

"It's good luck, the sun is good now," someone in the crowd said, "otherwise I will be frozen to death."

Several people recognized these people and whispered: "Hey, I know who they are, aren't they from the Yu family?"

The people who were whispering around suddenly fell silent.

What happened to the Yu family was so evil, and now it’s creepy to hear people mention it in broad daylight. Looking at the servants of the Yu family, they are really unlucky. It's like being treated like a prisoner.

"It's so pitiful." It was unknown who said it in a very low voice.

From the prison of Jingzhao Mansion to Yanyunwei Mansion, there are many streets on the way.

The queue was very long, and those who had been hiding for the past few days came out to join in the fun.

Xia Zhaoyi was holding a jug of wine, and she was carrying four packages in her hand, two packages were the Shixiang pork ribs she had just bought from Fangchenlou for three times the price, and the other two packages were Baihua cakes she bought at Changweixian.

She didn't go to join in the fun, she stood at the corner of the street with few people and looked at the people who were taken away in front. Someone next to her was saying that these were from the Yu family, and that Li Dongyan had already been released.

Li Dongyan was not punished, Xia Zhaoyi was not surprised at all, but Li Dongyan would not be able to live today if there were more available talents around Emperor Xuanyan.

Xia Zhaoyi sighed softly, raised his eyes to look at the clouds in the distance.

If my father was still alive, I'm afraid that in less than five years, Dagan would become like this.

Five years ago, Daqian was full of strong winds, swaying in all directions, admired by thousands of people, with many soldiers and generals. Now it is really like a dilapidated ship tossed and tossed in the wind, rain and sea.

Those who are dying are easy to be destroyed.

Winter is coming, and it will be a winter that Dagan will never survive.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew her gaze, turned around and left, before taking a few steps, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and she raised her head to look at the figure in front of her with a feeling.

Xia Zhaoyi froze for a moment, the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
