Chapter 384 Returning to Beijing

After Jiang Tao and his friends left, Shen and his friends were also discussing Jiang Tao's family.

"Your eldest aunt and second aunt's families are actually honest people. We have been adopted for more than a year, and they haven't even returned to their parents' home many times, let alone taking advantage of us."

Shen felt a little emotional. Compared with the people in the old house, there was a world of difference.

"Isn't it? She never goes back to her parents' home to complain, and when she comes back she brings food to the old man and his family. They are all honest people, and they will never ask for anything unless we give it to them. Even when we offer it to them, they will refuse it and thank us again and again."

Jiang Fugui also thought of the people in the old house. He was now increasingly seeing their true colors.

"Jiang Haiqing has recently become addicted to gambling. He often goes to gambling houses, causing chaos at home all day long. He has stolen all the money from the old lady and her family to gamble."

Jiang Fugui has to sigh whenever he talks about this. He really doesn't seem like a person who can live a normal life.

It seems that Scarface has started to take action. Once Jiang Haiqing becomes addicted to gambling, he will be ruined.

"Why talk about their affairs? It has nothing to do with our family anyway." San Ya pouted and looked down on those people in the old house.

"Let's not talk about them, Dad! Mom! I have something to discuss with you." Jiang Youzhen was not interested in those people, but she would go and ask about them after some time.

She felt relieved knowing that they were not doing well.

"What's the matter?" Shen suddenly became nervous.

Jiang Youzhen smiled when he saw the nervous faces of the three people.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. I'm just going to take the provincial examination next year, and then I plan to stay in the capital."

Regardless of her ranking, she still had a great chance of passing the exam. After the exam, she would have to stay in the capital to prepare for the imperial examination.

"What? You want to stay in the capital?" Shen was extremely reluctant.

"The subsequent imperial examinations and palace examinations will be held in the capital. I will go to the capital sooner or later."

Jiang Fugui and Shen were silent after hearing this, and Shen's eyes were already filled with tears. It was a good thing for the child to have ambitions, and although they were worried, they could not stop it.

But they are extremely reluctant to leave!

"The capital is so far away!" San Ya was reluctant to leave and was in a very low mood.

"How easy is it for us to meet again?" San Ya frowned and sighed.

"Actually, I want my parents to go to the capital with me. Don't they like to take care of the crops? So where can we go? I have already bought a hot spring farm in the capital. There are several hundred acres of land in the farm, so there will be work for Dad to do. If he doesn't go, I won't have time to take care of it."

Jiang Youzhen has other plans, and he makes sure Jiang Fugui won't have time to spare when he goes there.

"Have you bought the farm?" Jiang Fugui was shocked. When he heard that there were still several hundred acres of land, his heart was suddenly filled with excitement.

"Yes! We have asked people to look for houses in the capital for a while now. When we get there, we won't have to worry about having no place to live."

"You are really good at making money. You have hundreds of acres of land and a hot spring manor. That should be worth at least a few thousand taels, right?" San Ya admired her very much. This little brother was really good at making money.

"It's not that expensive! It's only a few thousand taels." Jiang Youzhen's words successfully made San Ya roll her eyes.

"You're panting even though I told you you're fat. Humph!" San Ya would never admit that she was envious and jealous.

"But we have never been to the capital!" Shen was a little worried. "Besides, your two elder sisters are in Tongzhou Prefecture, and your third sister has also been engaged and will be married at the end of the year. If we go to the capital, what will they do?"

Shen felt sad when she thought about the rare opportunity to see her other three daughters in the future.

"Yes!" Jiang Fugui was also worried.

"Then let's all go to Beijing! What's there to be fuss about?" Jiang Youzhen said indifferently.

"We're all going to the capital? How much will it cost? What will we eat and use? Where will we live? You can't have your whole family eating and drinking with you, right? That would bankrupt you."

Shen shook her head like a rattle. How could she let Jiang Youzhen support such a large family?

"Of course, we should let the elder sister and the others go to the capital to make a living! Can they rest? If we open an embroidery shop in the capital, how good will our business be? How many people will come to our embroidery shop to get goods? Wouldn't it be easier to do business in the capital?"

Jiang Youzhen has already made plans. The three sisters' main livelihood is in the embroidery shop. Why not open an embroidery shop in the capital city where there are more wealthy families? Isn't that just perfect?

When Shen and Jiang Fugui heard this, they were both moved.

San Ya immediately made the decision, "Go! Everyone, go! There are many wealthy families in the capital, isn't it easier to do business than in the capital?"

"I just don't know what your eldest sister and the others think. I'm afraid they won't want to go." Shen was a little worried.

"There are bigger businesses to do, how can my sisters not go? My eldest brother-in-law has no one to rely on here, so he will definitely go. It is also possible for my second brother-in-law to go to the capital to study. There are more academies in the capital. Didn't he pass the prefectural examination this year? He is just waiting for the academy examination. It will be just right for him to go to the capital after the examination."

San Ya is already tempted, but Shen and the others are not so optimistic.

"How can it be that easy? Your eldest brother-in-law has no parents at home, it's the same wherever you go. But how about your second brother-in-law's parents? Will they be willing to go to the capital as well? That's like leaving your homeland."

Shen sighed and said, "And your marriage is going to take place at the end of the year. How will your family arrange it? Will you go to the capital with me?"

Sanya blushed immediately, "Why are you talking about this?"

"Mom and Dad, there's no rush for this matter. Let's consider it later." Jiang Youzhen hoped that his parents would go to the capital together. After all, it would be difficult to return home after he became an official.

"That's fine! I'll discuss it with your elder sister and the others when I get back."

Jiang Fugui and his wife plan to stay in the provincial capital for a few days this time, since Jiang Xiaoju and the others will go to Li County tomorrow anyway.

The next day, after school, Jiang Youzhen went to Qian Chongen's dormitory and invited him to come to his home in a few days to discuss and choose a good day to hold the apprenticeship ceremony.

"That's a coincidence. I didn't expect your parents to come to the capital. Let's wait until our apprenticeship ceremony is over before going back."

Qian Chongen didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, but it also shows that he and Jiang Youzhen have a master-disciple relationship.

Seven days later, the Second Prince and his entourage finally returned to the capital in the dark.

As soon as they passed the city gate and saw it slowly closing, the two princes breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that Princess Changsui would cause so many troubles. She insisted on traveling all the way, otherwise they should have arrived in the capital two days ago. If the two of them hadn't urged them hard and forced themselves to travel at night, they might not have been able to get back to the capital in ten days.

This was the first time the two princes had united as one. In fact, they had lost their patience due to the unreasonable demands of Princess Changsui.

imperial study room

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince have escorted the princess back to the capital, and she is temporarily staying in the Second Prince's residence."

Steward Zhou entered the imperial study. The emperor had ordered him to report this matter as soon as possible.

The emperor paused while reviewing the memorials. "Oh! Are you back in Beijing?"
