Chapter 149 I want it all now

Because it is nearly a hundred miles away from Beijing, we can go there by carriage and arrive early in the morning. It won’t be too early when we arrive, so we will stay there for at least two nights.

Aunt Guo came over and asked about what needed to be prepared. Chu Nanning told her that she only needed to prepare the carriage, and she would prepare the rest by herself.

On Chu Yunzhao's side, Zhao Yuan was very happy when she heard about it, and personally prepared clothes, food, maids, and guards for her precious daughter.Not too exaggerated, not too shabby either.

But Chu Nanning went directly to Mrs. Pei and told her that she would be away for a few days.

Mrs. Pei was very happy when she heard that she was attending a party and asked her to bring Jin Feng and Jin Hai with her.

Chu Nanning didn't refuse either. Jin Feng and Hai Yanheqing were both from Taifu Ye's house. They were thoughtful and experienced.She left them with the old lady to protect the old lady's safety and to be her help, but she borrowed them for a year.

If Jin Feng and Jiang He Huhai want to return to Taifu Ye's Mansion in a year, they will be allowed to go back.

She does have someone available.

But bringing Jin Feng and Jin Hai was also to reassure the old lady.

After coming back, she went to Mrs. Chu's yard. At that time, Cui Changning was reporting the matter to Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu gave her a box and a small seal in front of Cui Changning and said, "I'm here." There is also a banker nearby, and this banker will give it to you. There is also this small seal. If you don't have enough money on hand, you can go to the bank to get some silver for it."

Chu Nanning smiled and said: "Grandma, I have enough money, not to mention I am only going out for two or three days, how can I use this?"

She also joked: "This time I am going to play in the village of Dingguo Gongfu. Grandma is afraid that I will be turned away, so she will give me a nearby village? Dingguo Gongfu will definitely not treat guests like this. Grandma Don’t worry, I don’t want it!”

However, the old lady insisted on giving Chu Nanning the small seal and the land deed in the box, and joked with a smile: "There is a saying that 'it is a gift from the elders that cannot be said away'. You have been back for so long, and I haven't given you a meeting gift. This Just make up for it every time! Take it, unless you don’t like it.”

Cui Changning's eyes narrowed. This small seal was not as light as what the old lady said. With this small seal in his hand, he could mobilize most of the power and financial resources in the old lady's hands.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Chu Nanning.

It seems that this young lady is the heir recognized by the old lady.

At that time, half of the family property left by the old marquis went to the father-in-law and half was left to the old lady. It is said that each of them was worth one million taels of silver.The one in the middle of the palace had already been used up by the pair of squanderers, but the one in the old lady's hands had been doubled several times without showing off.

Only she knows how much the old lady has in her hands now, but it is definitely an astonishing number.

The old lady was not prepared to give the money to Chu Baikui and the Anyuan Houfu, and they all knew it.Now it seems that the old lady has chosen the heir, and they are determined in their hearts.

Cui Changning looked at Chu Nanning with more respect.

Chu Nanning didn't know it, so she reluctantly took the small seal and said, "Okay, then I'll keep it for my grandmother first!"

The old lady added: "Chang Ning, the eldest lady doesn't have a capable bodyguard around her. You can pick two. After all, we are traveling far away. I can rest assured if we have more careful arrangements around us."

Cui Changning said: "Yes!"

Chu Nanning smiled helplessly and said: "Grandma, there's no need for this. I have a guard by my side. They are from my uncle's house."

The elderly people she met were more enthusiastic than the others, as if they were afraid that she would be frozen, hungry, or injured.

The old lady stopped insisting, and held her hand, saying: "Take care of yourself outside, don't wrong yourself. If you have anything to do, just tell grandma. If you need anything, tell grandma. There are some things under grandma's hands." Private property is abundant, so don’t be embarrassed.”

Chu Nanning smiled and nodded.

Returning to the Anyuan Hou Mansion, it feels like returning to a resort. Mingxia Garden is a completely independent courtyard from the Hou Mansion.

She knew that Zhao Yuan and her daughter would poke and poke in the back, but she didn't take it to heart at all.

Qiu Shuang walked in and reported: "Girl, a businessman brought you a letter from the north and said he had something to tell you personally!"

North?

Speaking of which, since I received letters and gifts from Xia Chixiao last time, and then twice more, it goes without saying that this person today must be related to him.

After all, she had no other friends in the North.

As for the old man, forget it. He left such a big mess to her and ran away. He wished he couldn't find his whereabouts, just for fear that she would throw the mess back again!

But even Xia Chixiao was wrong.

These letters and gifts are too frequent. It was normal before, but this time they come every two days, and they also come with gifts.

Is there another big bandit den in the north, and someone wants to ask her to help settle it.

It must be so, Xia Chixiao is quite interesting, he knows how to ask for help and build closer relationships!

Chu Nanning asked: "Where is he?"

"At the east side door!"

"Take him to the east side room for tea. I'll be there soon."

After a while, Chu Nanning, who had changed her clothes, went to see the man with Qiu Shuang Qiuyi.

The man was twenty-four or five years old, dressed as a businessman in an azure silk suit, but Chu Nanning only took one look and knew that he was not a businessman.

Like the two people who delivered the letter before, he also had a military background.

When that person saw Chu Nanning, he respectfully said, "Miss Chu?"

"I'm!"

The man said happily: "I've met Miss Chu!"

Then he said: "I am here to deliver a message to the eldest lady on the orders of my young master!"

He took off the baggage on his back. Inside was a letter and a small box.

Still a familiar look, a familiar recipe, a letter, a gift.

Chu Nanning said: "Thank you!"

He smiled with a simple and honest smile: "Miss, you are so polite!"

Chu Nanning said politely: "You are from the army? How is your young master doing?"

The man smiled a little happier, his eyes brightened, and said: "Everything is going well, Mr. Master. Under the leadership of the Master, the suppression of the bandits went smoothly!"

Chu Nanning nodded. Everyone has their own circumstances. Some people are talented in certain aspects. It seems that Xia Chixiao is very talented in fighting.

She didn't ask any other questions, and the man left respectfully after the letter was delivered.

There is a sentence at the end of the letter: "I heard that you have returned to Anyuanhou Mansion, so I would like to send you a small gift to congratulate you!"

Chu Nanning curled her lips. It seemed that although he was in the north, the news in Beijing was not blocked.Even for such trivial matters as her return to Anyuan Hou Mansion, he knew that the news network was quite powerful.

However, there seems to be nothing worth mentioning in the capital right now. Her return to Anyuanhou's Mansion can barely be considered a minor novelty!

north.

In the bandit-suppressing army's tent, Xia Chixiao's eyes fell on the words "Xia Haicheng", Marquis of Liyang. There was no expression on his face, but there seemed to be waves deep in his eyes.

Qi Chengping, the captain of the Northern Guard Army, was in two armies with Xuanping Bo Pei Zhang at that time, so he discovered that there were other clues to the defeat that year. Xia Chixiao did not doubt this person. He even completed the alliance and established the alliance. After returning from military service, the first person he contacted was this person who was supposed to be neutral and had no involvement.

But there are various signs that this is a poisonous snake hidden in the Northern Army.

Relying on the relationship between Li Yanghou and the eldest prince, he was promoted quickly.

Then what reason did he have to leak the movements of the Pei family army to the enemy, allowing Pei Zhang and the elite troops of the Pei family army to be wiped out? He even once again designed the remaining Pei family army. From then on, the Pei family army in the north except for him and less than a hundred people who broke out of the siege. Brother, almost completely eliminated.

The only reason for this is probably that he followed orders.

He listened to the order of Marquis Liyang, so why did Marquis Liyang do this?

As a relative, I deeply appreciate the emperor's grace.

More importantly, the Pei family army has been guarding the northern border and has no involvement with any forces in the DPRK.

To disturb the Pei family's army was to disturb the foundation of the Shang-Qi border.As the eldest prince's maternal wife and a distinguished minister in the court, what is his purpose in doing this?
These can only be checked after returning to Beijing!

At this time, Zhuo Jun walked in quickly.

Xia Chixiao glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to look at the things in his hands. He just said: "This time I led the troops alone and did a good job. I have seen the information you compiled. You also did a beautiful job in handling the aftermath! Although you have always been Follow me, but this time I will take credit for you one by one!"

Zhuo Jun scratched his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you ask for credit or not. Master, here is your letter!"

"This is also a military achievement that you risk your life for, so why is it not important? Do you still remember what you said when you joined the army?"

Zhuo Jun smiled innocently, of course he remembered.His family is from the military. He was only 12 years old when he was drafted into the army. His father fell ill and he had to take care of him.

I originally thought that there were a group of adults there, and as a child, he would have a difficult life.

But he didn't expect that he would be assigned to a military tent together with more than forty other young children.These are all people who had to embark on this road at a young age because their father may have been ill or injured.

Coach Pei Zhang actually came to meet these children in person. He asked these children if they knew what it meant to join the army.
The children's answers varied. Some said it was to survive, some said it was to eat, some said it was to avoid being beaten, and some said it was to become a general...

Pei Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, then you should work hard and study hard. Maybe when you grow up, you will really become a general!"

He did not set up a leader for these children, but told them that there would be an assessment every month, and whoever was the best would be the leader of this group of people.

Every child is full of hope and has a winning mentality.

But every time, the best one is the same person, the kid named Pei Ting'an, who is about the same age as him.

Pei Zhang was busy with military affairs, but he would still spend two days a month teaching them the art of war, martial arts, and literacy.

Because they trained together and grew up together, these kids are like brothers.

They will compete with each other, but they can also take care of each other!

Probably because Pei Ting'an won every time and always led them, they were already accustomed to treating him as their leader.

They went to the battlefield together and killed the enemy together.

To them, Pei Shuai is both the coach and a father figure.

Later they found out that Pei Ting'an was the son of Pei Shuai and the young marshal of the Pei family army.But it's a secret.Because Pei Ting'an wanted to earn military merit based on his own ability and did not want to rely on his father's reputation.So few people know his identity.

The child back then has grown up now, but Pei Shuai died at the hands of a villain.They also lived in other countries with the young marshal.

For a time, they lost their military status and became people without status.

They willingly gave up their identities and recognized the young commander as their master.

"Both you and Huo Ci's military status will be reinstated." Xia Chixiao's voice slowly sounded, "Not just you, but any brothers who want to have their military status reinstated, I will let them slowly come to the front."

In fact, Zhuo Jun didn't really want to resume his military status. As long as he could fight side by side with his master, his identity was not important.

However, he understood that there was a shocking conspiracy hidden in Shuai Pei's death. The master was alone, and they could also help the master by rebuilding their power in the army.

Zhuo Jun nodded vigorously and put the letter down.

Xia Chixiao picked up the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was both beautiful and flamboyant, free and easy, and had a strong character, but I had never seen it before.

He opened it and took a look, and the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising.

Chu Nanning wrote to him.

Although the content inside is very ordinary, it only talks about the placement of those women in distress, and it is completely business-like.

But Xia Chixiao didn't think so. She didn't need to write him another letter to explain the placement of those women in distress. His people had already made it clear when they handed over.

The reason why I told him this in the letter was to find a topic.

They have little in common.

But it doesn't matter, there will be more when he returns to Beijing.

Xia Chixiao raised his voice: "Huo Ci!"

"exist!"

"Notice, the army will start back to Beijing tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, two carriages stopped in front of the Anyuan Hou Mansion.

Jin Feng was inspecting the carriage in front of him. Chu Nanning was bringing two maids, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yi. Qiu Shuang was holding a bag containing clothes, and Qiu Yi was holding a food box and other items.

At this time, Chu Yunzhao came out almost like a crowd.

She took four maids and four guards with her, and without saying a word, she walked directly to the carriage in front.

Jin Feng stretched out his arm to block the car: "This is my eldest lady's car!"

Chu Yunzhao was furious: "I always ride in this carriage when I travel. When did this carriage become someone else's?"

Aunt Guo was seeing her off to express her loyalty when she said, "Second Miss, you can't say that. You used to ride in this carriage quite well, but that doesn't mean that this carriage is for your exclusive use. Now of course it's urgent for the eldest daughter to use it." My eldest lady, the elders and younger ones are in order. Besides, your carriage is not bad, it’s parked here."

She pointed to the second one.

Chu Yunzhao said angrily: "You are blind, you didn't see that there are so many people here, one for me and one for my maid."

She looked at Chu Nanning with a look of resentment that seemed to have substance.

Aunt Guo covered her lips and smiled softly, then said: "Second Miss, I'm not blind, but there are only three carriages in the house, one for the master, and these two are the only ones left. Or you can squeeze in with the maid Either way, let the maid walk behind!"

She showed a funny expression: "Maybe the second lady wants your maid to ride in the carriage and let the eldest lady walk. This face is too long!"

"Won't she hire a car?" Chu Yunzhao slapped her angrily: "Who are you? An aunt, it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks here?"

However, her palm was cut in the middle by Chu Nanning, and her grabbed wrist could no longer move forward an inch. She struggled hard but did not move at all.

Aunt Guo just shocked the boss. In the past, Zhao Yuan was in the palm of the house and coaxed Chu Baikui into submission. Their concubines had a very low status in the house, and Chu Yunzhao wanted to take action. Even if they take action, they will have no way to complain.

She originally thought she was going to get a slap in the face, but she didn't expect that the eldest lady would help her. She was extremely moved.

Chu Nanning said calmly: "You're right, aren't you going to hire a car? Originally I only wanted one, but now I want both!"

She turned back to Qiu Shuang Qiuyi: "You sit in the carriage behind and leave first."

Qiu Shuang Qiuyi went to get in the car knowingly.

Chu Yunzhao cursed angrily: "You cheap maid, how dare you!"

Now the maids of Mingxia Garden are not afraid of anyone. They only listened to the eldest lady's words, ignored Chu Yunzhao, and got into the carriage behind.

Under Aunt Guo's look, the driver got on the shaft and prepared to drive.

Chu Yunzhao couldn't move her hand, and she felt as if the place where she was caught was being clamped by iron pliers. She shouted at the four guards: "Are you dead? Stop it!"

Four guards blocked the carriage.

Chu Nanning curled her lips: "Run over."

The smile on her lips was evil and evil, but her eyes were sharp and oppressive. The coachman became nervous and drove his horse forward. How could those four people dare to stop her if they saw this coming?Scattered away.

Aunt Guo exaggeratedly said: "Second Miss, what are you doing? Why do you want to provoke the eldest lady, who is so good? The eldest lady has a good temper, and you can't bully her!"
