Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Regarding Jiang Chu's sudden change, Jiang Qiucheng and Wen Lan didn't know what was going on. Jiang Chu only said that he missed the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, and hoped that he could meet the son of his father's deadly rival, Right Prime Minister, to reminisce about the old days.
Jiang Qiucheng was stunned for a moment.
Wen Lan pursed her lips and snickered, Jiang Chu seemed to be in a good mood today and talked a lot more.
Wen Lan sent a letter to Qinzhou, saying that they will rush to Kyoto to resume their posts in the near future, and they can go to Kyoto to visit them.
After finishing this series, Jiang Qiucheng heard that Lan Jiangchu got into the carriage dragging big bags and small bags.
There were three carriages in total, Jiang Qiucheng brought Jiang Chu Wenlan, and the two carriages behind were full of luggage and food.
The cook who has been with them for many years has already taken root here and does not want to leave again. Jiang Qiucheng expresses his understanding.
The young cook also got married here and couldn't leave.
There was still Chen Huan when he came, but when he left, there were only the three of them and the two hired coachmen left, and the rest had taken root.
"I'm really going to retire and return home in two years."
After leaving the gate of the city, the people of Quanzhou city saw him off at the gate, and some stood on the gate tower and shouted, "Master Jiang, have a good journey!"
"Bon voyage, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Qiucheng stopped the carriage and clasped his fists respectfully at the people at the city gate, "Jiang is leaving now. Thank you all the folks for your support these years. We will meet again later!"
"Master Jiang will meet later!"
Chen Huan came galloping on a horse and stopped beside the carriage. The wind and dust behind him gradually subsided. He jumped off the steed and clasped his fists at Jiang Qiucheng.
Jiang Qiucheng patted him on the shoulder, "I know you won't be able to leave, I'll be back in a year or two, let's have a drink then."
Chen Huan nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"
The three carriages drove slowly, and countless people fell into deep thought as they watched the distant figures. Then they got off the tower and left slowly.
The time to arrive in the capital is neither long nor short. After half a month, they finally arrived in the capital.
After entering the city gate, the gatekeeper was a veteran. He had already heard that Mr. Zuo Xiang, who left Beijing more than ten years ago, was coming back.
The emperor had already ordered people to repair Zuo Xiangfu, and he was waiting for people to come.
"Master Zuo Xiang, long time no see?"
With just one glance, Jiang Qiucheng recognized him, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
After a quarter of an hour, the carriage started to drive. There were many people in the main road, and the carriage should not be too fast. Jiang Chu lifted the curtain and carefully looked at the people on the street. They came and went. There was no familiar person. Wearing a face scarf, the rich lady and the maids follow, only the men are more casual, and most of them have already performed the crown ceremony.
The people here are not like those in Tanzhou, there are few discussions among young women, but there is a lot of discussion among women and men.
"That carriage is really old, but the young master inside is actually quite handsome."
Jiang Chu was unmoved, still looking for that person.
"Then what is the young master looking around? Looks like a country bumpkin?"
Jiang Chu turned a deaf ear to what others said about him, and continued to search around.
"Outsiders, come and live here. It looks like you're going to be in Kyoto, and ordinary people can't afford to live here."
The three ordinary carriages naturally attracted the attention of many people. They saw the carriage slowly driving into another main road and stopped at the newly renovated Zuoxiang Mansion.
It turned out that they were Jiang Zuoxiang's family who had been sent to Tanzhou.
Jiang Chu jumped out of the carriage and began to look at the two stone lions in front of the door, which were much bigger than the Jiang family in Tanzhou.
As soon as the carriage stopped, more than a dozen servant girls came out of it. The emperor even found the housekeeper. They saluted the three of them respectfully, and then began to move things.
The butler took them to visit the courtyard. After all, no one has lived in it for more than ten years. Jiang Qiucheng and Wen Lan are a little strange to this place.
Jiang Chu is even more so.
"Young master, this servant will help you carry your luggage."
Jiang Chu carried the wooden box and thanked her: "No need, thank you."
The servant girl was puzzled. It stands to reason that the kind of country bumpkin would be very moved when he saw someone help him. How could he refuse?
The other maids were even more puzzled.
This family is more than two circles larger than the Jiang family in Tanzhou, and there are seven or eight houses in which they live, three of which are single-family courtyards. What's even more outrageous is that there is a rock garden in the backyard.
Jiang Chu picked a courtyard at the back, walked in and saw that the place where he lived was equivalent to the backyard of Jiang's family in Tanzhou.
This place in Kyoto is really rich.
The housekeeper assigned him three servant girls and one follower.
Jiang Chu never needed someone to take care of him, so he politely refused, but the housekeeper said that he was the son of everyone after all, so he must have maids and followers.
Jiang Chu looked at his courtyard, it was enough for two people to live in, and he could relieve his boredom if he didn't keep it all together.
The four lined up in a row, and Jiang Chu chose the follower.
"Uncle Steward, I only need one follower, and the others can be placed in the front yard."
After all, Jiang Chu made a concession, and the housekeeper couldn't say anything.
After the three of them left, Jiang Chu looked at his followers and said expressionlessly, "What's your name?"
"The slave is called Yuanxia." This Yuanxia looked a little younger than Jiang Chu.
"Original, okay, you can follow me from now on."
After speaking, I started to pack my luggage for myself.
Seeing that he didn't call her, Yuan Xia didn't dare to touch his things, Jiang Chule took care of it, and quickly sorted everything out.
"Originally, I usually don't need someone to take care of me. When I go out, you can just go out with me."
Before leaving Tanzhou, Wang Wang once gave Jiang Chu a portrait, which was Bai Qingheng's.
Jiang Chu took out the portrait, gently stroked the face of the person in the painting, "Be good, I'll find you soon."
On the first day Jiang Qiucheng returned to the capital, he ran to the palace to report to the emperor. The emperor didn't say anything, but gave him some gold and said that his son should also come to the palace for a stroll.
Jiang Qiucheng didn't talk about this matter with Jiang Chu. Firstly, it was the emperor's face-to-face talk, and secondly, he hadn't seen Jiang Chu for many days.
For several days in a row, Jiang Chu became fond of going out. Every time, he would walk with Yuan Xia for a whole day, and eat in restaurants when he was hungry. Yuan Xia never knew Jiang Chu's personality until he gradually figured out his preferences.
This master is not very talkative, he likes to do things by himself, but he really likes to let him go shopping with him.
Shopping is not for shopping, but for walking around and seeing people coming and going.
It's really strange.
Yuan Xia and all the servant girls were selected by the housekeeper from among 100 people. He didn't know anyone well, so he didn't dare to communicate with those people, let alone discuss Jiang Chu's affairs with them.
"Master, are we still shopping today?" Yuanxia asked cautiously.
Jiang Chu looked at the people coming and going downstairs, and when he heard this, he turned to look at him, "Are you tired?"
Yuan Xia shook his head, Jiang Chu glanced at him again, then looked downstairs, "If you are tired, go back to rest first, I will go back later."
