Resourceful beauty

Chapter 9 Returning to Beijing
Going to the Hu Mansion again, even though Fang Ruxuan was respectful to the servants of the Hu Mansion, there was a little anger in their eyes. Thinking about it, Fang Ruxuan was a little annoyed at treating Zhu Yaozu so disregarding Hu Jing's face.

After all, even if a local official like Hu Jing came to Beijing, no one would disrespect Hu Jing so much.

But now, it is in the hands of a 12-year-old girl like Fang Ruxuan. How can this not make Hu Jing and his family angry?

Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, it is probably Hu Jing's mood at the moment.

Fang Ruxuan didn't think about it at all.

As long as she thinks that she will see her father and brother standing in front of her in two or three days, Fang Ruxuan will feel a little excited.

This time, there is no suffering of unjust exile, nor the humiliation and torture of those years in Wutongyuan. Life will move in a new direction. Although the future is completely unknown, the safe reunion of the family is already at this moment. The greatest happiness that Fang Ruxuan could think of.

"Miss Fang, Miss Chen from the governor's house has handed over a message to come to visit. Madam asked her servants to ask, do you want to see me?"

In the resting room, Fang Ruxuan sat in front of the dressing table and thought about her own thoughts. When it was near noon, a little maid with delicate eyebrows and eyes came to deliver a message.

Knowing that it was Chen Mei, Fang Ruxuan finally had a smile on her face.

Nodding her head, she looked at the dress and the shining golden jewelry on the tray on the table, and finally turned her head to look at the little maid and said, "Please come here, Miss Chen."

"Yes."

The little servant girl took the order and left, and within a cup of tea, Chen Mei followed with two servant girls.

After dismissing all the servants in the house, Fang Ruxuan stepped forward and took Chen Mei's hand and said, "Sister Mei, I knew that you would be the first one to see."

Although outsiders didn't know about Fang Ruxuan's incident in the prison in Funan City, people like the governor knew about it very quickly.

Knowing that the head of the prison was executed by Fang Ruxuan with a strong attitude, especially when the head of the cell was still the governor's nephew, anyone with a heart can know what happened just by thinking about it. Therefore, when Chen Mei knew about it, she hated and cursed Zhu Yaozu while, But Fang Ruxuan felt very distressed.

Holding Fang Ruxuan's hand affectionately, the two sat down together. Chen Mei turned around and took a bundle from the maid and stuffed it in Fang Ruxuan's arms, "I guess you don't want to wear the clothes they prepared for you, so put I brought you my own size, I made it topless last year, I think you are wearing it properly."

Fang Ruxuan was moved.

Madam Hu did arrange for someone to bring clothes and jewelry, but when she thought about what happened in the cell that night, not to mention Zhu Yaozu, even Fang Ruxuan felt indescribably disgusted with Hu Jing's family, how could she wear their clothes? clothes?
Without further hesitation, Fang Ruxuan summoned the maidservants of the Hu Mansion who were waiting outside the door and asked them to prepare hot water for bathing.

In half an hour, Fang Ruxuan had finished bathing and freshening up, feeling refreshed all over.

I sent a message to Mrs. Hu, saying that I was going to the Chen Mansion, and sent the 100 taels of silver note that Chen Mei had given me to Mr. Tang, asking him to send a message to the Chen Mansion before leaving, and then the two of them would return to Beijing together. , Fang Ruxuan took Chen Mei's hand and went out together.

"Master Hu is the governor of Funan after all. Why did you do this and offend him for nothing?"

In the carriage, Chen Mei looked at Fang Ruxuan with disapproval and said.

Fang Ruxuan smiled meaninglessly, "Although there was no danger that night, to me, it is a heinous crime for Hu Jing to condone his nephew doing such a thing in the prison. Therefore, he offended me first, and the grudge has long been settled. How come it's so plain?"

Holding Chen Mei's hand, Fang Ruxuan thanked softly: "Sister Mei, Ruxuan will always remember your kindness in my heart. Don't worry, no matter what I become in the future, I will always treat you as my dearest and best sister. "

Chen Mei had never seen Fang Ruxuan like this before.

She always remembered that when she was a child, Fang Ruxuan was well-behaved and gentle. No matter what time she was, she always had a demure and pleasant appearance. When did she have such a side that would be revenged?
However, after experiencing this catastrophe, everyone's disposition will change, right?

Not to mention that Fang Ruxuan is only 12 years old.

What happened that night, as the girl next to her, I don't know what she would look like now, but Fang Ruxuan knew that it was really rare to fight back.

Chen Mei nodded, "After this incident, Prince Qi's Mansion will no longer move forward. Whatever you do in the future, remember to leave room for others and yourself. This is good for everyone."

In this case, every word and every word is for her own good, Fang Ruxuan's heart is warm, and she nodded in agreement.

Chen Mei's father was away, so Fang Ruxuan went to Chen's mansion and met Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, each sighed for a while, before Fang Ruxuan and Chen Mei returned to her boudoir.

The two sisters talked affectionately for a while, and then it was time for lunch.

Afraid that Fang Ruxuan would feel uncomfortable facing the big family, Chen Mei asked her mother early, and after getting her permission, she asked the small kitchen to deliver the meals to her room.

In the past and present lives, this was the most delicious meal that Fang Ruxuan had eaten in the past five years.

Not a while after the meal, a maid from Hu's residence came to ask Fang Ruxuan to go back.

On the occasion of parting, Fang Ruxuan solemnly said again what she had told Chen Mei just now.

Although Fang Ruxuan's request was not at all like what a 12-year-old girl should do, it can be seen that her face was serious and she was not joking, so Chen Mei seriously complied.

Outside the gate of the Hu Mansion, Eunuch Tang's carriage and horses were ready to go back to Beijing. Fang Ruxuan got off the carriage of the Chen Mansion, and didn't even go up to greet Hu Jing.

After asking which car she wanted to take, Fang Ruxuan greeted Eunuch Tang and got in the car.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's behavior like this, Hu Jing's teeth itched with anger, but at the same time he felt that this was the anger of his little daughter's family.

But no matter what, without Fang Ruxuan, Zhu Yaozu would not have died, and this account will eventually be settled on Prince Qi's mansion.

Looking at the carriage going away, Hu Jing thought bitterly.

The two days of work passed quickly.

In the evening on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Eunuch Tang and Fang Ruxuan arrived in the capital.

Outside the city gate, Fang Zhengjun waited eagerly.

The case of King Qi's treason and collusion with the enemy was ordered by Emperor Rui'an to be re-examined by Dali Temple. Since the words that were originally believed to be written by King Qi were found to be fabricated, all the officials in the government and the opposition have turned to King Qi's side. Now, although the case is still pressed on the desk of Dali Siqing, everyone knows that the day of King Qi's Zhaoxue may not be long.

"Eunuch Tang has worked hard all the way. The palace has prepared food and drinks, and please return to the mansion for some news."

Fang Zhengjun stepped forward to be fair to Mr. Tang.

"Young Master, please thank the lord for our family. Now that we have returned to the capital, we will have a long time to come. Our family will return to the palace and return to the palace. Don't bother with the palace."

Eunuch Tang bowed his head in thanks.

Not insisting anymore, Fang Zhengjun took out a brocade bag and handed it to Eunuch Tang.

Accepting it smoothly, feeling the thickness of the silver bill in the brocade bag, the smile on Mr. Tang's face became more respectful, "Since that's the case, our family will be one step ahead."

Nodding and smiling at Fang Zhengjun, Eunuch Tang boarded the carriage and galloped towards the palace.

Fang Zhengjun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and jumped into the carriage where Fang Ruxuan was sitting.

In the carriage, the two brothers and sisters were chirping and chatting, and after a while, there were brisk and joyful laughter flying out of the car window.

After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of Prince Qi's mansion.

The first emperor attached great importance to King Qi, so even though King Qi later took his family to the fiefdom, the Prince Qi's mansion in the capital still remained.

Prince Qi's Mansion is located at the end of the South Street in Dongcheng, close to Huangchenggen. In front of the gate is a spacious and tidy bluestone road. The two stone lions outside the gate are showing off their might, but in Fang Ruxuan's eyes, they look a little naive.

After many years, I finally came back here.

Looking around the somewhat deserted alley, smelling the faint scent of flowers in the air, Fang Ruxuan looked at the vermilion gate solemnly and said softly: "I'm back."

This "I'm back" is Fang Ruxuan's farewell to the prison life of more than half a month, and it is also her farewell to the past five years of unbearable years.

From then on, in this world, there was no Fang Ruxuan who was humiliated and tortured by others, nor was there any Prince Qi's mansion who was despised by the world.

In this life, Prince Qi's Mansion and she will live proudly.

As if coming here for the first time, Fang Ruxuan raised her skirt and entered the gate with her head held high.

Under the cold night, the ground paved with white marble is soft and smooth, and the graceful figures are walking forward step by step, but they look so solemn.

Looking up at the majestic and majestic eaves in the night, the exquisitely arranged nine-curved corridors in the courtyard, and the withered flowers and trees, Fang Ruxuan felt a little uncontrollable excitement in her heart, as if it was the first time she stepped into the here.

In the previous life, this place was just a temporary place for her to live in. Her home was in Jiangbei.

But now, or even in the next few decades, King Qi's mansion may never go back to Jiangbei again, so this will be her home, and she wants to protect her father and brother.

While Fang Ruxuan was looking at all this, Fang Zhengjun was also looking at Fang Ruxuan not far behind.

It's only been more than a month since they separated, but at this moment, the younger sister in front of him gave him a strange feeling, as if she had grown up all of a sudden.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Looking back, Fang Zhengjun looked at her thoughtfully, Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward and grabbed Fang Zhengjun's sleeve and shook it.

"nothing……"

Smiling to hide his past, Fang Zhengjun took Fang Ruxuan's hand, and the brother and sister walked slowly towards the apse.

King Qi’s mansion is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the main gate, the main hall, the wing buildings on both sides, the back hall and the east and west side halls on both sides. The wing room annex building.

It was already cold winter, except for the small and large plum garden in the backyard, where there was still a beautiful snow scene, the rest of the place was already withered.

At first, Fang Ruxuan was able to hold back and follow Fang Zhengjun slowly, but when she passed the middle gate, Fang Ruxuan became anxious all of a sudden.

Holding her elder brother's hand and striding forward, Fang Ruxuan called out loudly: "Daddy..."

At the gate of Yixin Hall, Fang Qizhi strode out after hearing his daughter's call.
