Volume 1: Everything in the World, Endless Prosperity Chapter 159: Miss Lu’s Visit
After autumn in Hangzhou, the weather has gradually turned cooler. In the early morning, Jiang Ning still started running in the morning facing the rising sun, practicing breathing. After two long days, he ran back along the river embankment.
Liu Sisi saw Xu Ning yesterday, who was tired of traveling, and knew that Jiang Ning had arrived in Hangzhou safely. She didn't ask any questions and gave Xu Ning half a day's leave to recuperate.
Early this morning, I stood beside the bed on the third floor. I watched Jiang Ning run over and then went downstairs.
"Back?" Jiang Ning ran to Liu Ji's door as usual, but a familiar voice appeared behind Liu Sisi.
"I heard that you have traveled far away and I am waiting for you here. Why are you not happy to see me?" Liu Sisi tilted her head and smiled, and the man behind her stood side by side in front of Jiang Ning.
The sunshine was just right, shining on their faces, but Jiang Ning's heart suddenly tightened. One was beautiful yet simple, the other was noble yet elegant, like two fairies in a painting, looking at Jiang Ning with a smile.
"See..." Jiang Ning hurriedly saluted, but was grabbed by the woman and touched her jade hand. Jiang Ning subconsciously took a step back.
The woman is none other than Princess Lu Yutong of Changping.
She was originally at Princess Changping's Mansion, but she wanted to come to Hangzhou in autumn. She told the officials that she wanted to relax, so she brought Meng Jingshan and a hundred thousand cattle guards to Hangzhou.
Princess Ping is safe, and it is the Huben Army who accepts this task
General Xia Qiang's army, after what happened last time, Xia Qiang's army directly led two thousand troops to secretly escort him along the way until Hangzhou City. After handing over to General Xiao He, the Huben army stationed in Hangzhou, he left.
I visited the Wang family but didn't see Jiang Ning, which was a bit regretful.
Lu Yutong's arrival really made Liu Sisi and Qi Yunmeng happy for a while. That night Liu Sisi was taken to the academy by Qian Niuwei, who also brought two pots of good wine and special dishes, which Lu Yutong ate in the palace.
Everything was strictly planned. When we got here and ate Liu Ji's delicacies, our mood was very different from before. The three of them drank and talked until midnight before falling asleep.
As soon as Jiang Ning entered Hangzhou, Lu Yutong got the news and went to Liuji to wait for him. Although Liu Sisi was thoughtful, she never expected that the majestic Princess Changping would return to her shop to wait for Jiang Ning. Although Lu Yutong said it was for
I thanked him in person and came incognito this time because I didn't want to draw attention to myself, but Liu Sisi was still aware of his impatience.
Therefore, when the scene just happened, Jiang Ning had no other feelings except the accident. He just thought of that incident and felt a little scared in his heart. What would he do if Lu Yutong came this time and killed him?
But what happened immediately made Jiang Ning give up this idea.
Lu Yutong was still dressed in white and holding her black silk stockings: "Why, you are not happy to see me? You are still the first one."
Jiang Ning smiled: "I'm happy, but I didn't dare to think that Miss Lu would come to Hangzhou. If I had known about it earlier, I would have gone to greet her earlier."
Lu Yutong smiled and said: "I came here a few days ago. I heard from Sisi that you were traveling far away, so I stayed in the academy for two days. How are you doing with your affairs? Do you need any help?"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Lu. Everything is fine." Jiang Ning smiled: "I'm a little hungry, so let's go in and have some breakfast."
"Yes, come in quickly..." Liu Sisi hurriedly waved Jiang Ning into the store. Lu Yutong also smiled slightly and turned around and entered the store.
The two sat down, but Liu Sisi started to get busy and got up to prepare breakfast. After all, it was Princess Changping who came, so she did not dare to neglect.
"I wonder why Miss Lu came to Hangzhou this time?" Jiang Ning said: "If there is anything useful, Jiang Ning is willing to help."
Lu Yutong smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong. I just exchanged letters with Yunmeng before. This time I came to see Yunmeng and Sisi to catch up on old times. If they have nothing to do, I will invite them to stay in Luoyang for a few days this winter.
, it’s nice to have a companion to relieve boredom during the Chinese New Year, but what are your plans?”
"Oh..." Jiang Ning said, "It's nothing. A close family friend will be celebrating his birthday in Jinling later this year. My father-in-law is not feeling well, so Ruoyan and I have to do it for him. We have been invited once before, so it would be unreasonable not to go again."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Yutong's eyes, and then she said: "Oh? Then when are you going to leave?"
"According to the date, it is the sixth day of February. If it is after the Chinese New Year, I am afraid it will be too late, so I can only leave before the New Year. It takes about half a month for the boat and carriage to form. I am afraid that I will leave in more than a month." Jiang Ning said.
"That's great. I will be in Hangzhou for about a month. I wonder what your plans are for this month? I heard from Yunmeng that you have taken a job in the academy." Lu Yutong nodded, thoughtfully.
Jiang Ning also said: "Thanks to Dean Qi, I have an iron rice bowl. Haha, the affairs of the academy have been handed over to a student named Wang Shi. This person has a perverse personality, is diligent and studious, and is a perfect fit in the library. I also
I’ve been spending my free time traveling around the mountains and rivers, sitting back and enjoying my time, haha..."
Lu Yutong said: "Are you just sitting on your hands and feet? Haha, others don't know about you. If I want to know, it's not easy. You have also helped Yunmeng and Sisi a lot, and they have talked about you a lot.
I have good words to say, just about Zhang Qiuping..."
"Zhang Qiuping? Is that the Minister of Household Affairs?" Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "If his father hadn't been Taichang Qing, would he dare to be so presumptuous?"
"Yes, but he is just a Taichang Qing, but he also involved the Taiwei Mansion and Prime Minister Zuo, so he acted unscrupulously. But fortunately, you helped Yunmeng overcome this calamity. You can be regarded as Amitabha, and your merits are immeasurable."
"Dean Qi is a strange person in the world. How can he be entangled in such vulgar things? If he can help, he will naturally help. Miss Lu laughed." Jiang Ning laughed. Qi Yunmeng was able to tell Lu Yutong about this matter.
, which naturally shows that his friendship with him is extraordinary, at least comparable to that with Liu Sisi.
"It's just that yesterday I went to Prince Xia's house and saw him packing his luggage. He must be leaving for the capital in the next two days. Prince Xia is back, but he will be the right minister?" Jiang Ning continued: "Although I don't care about temples,
But it is also related to the national destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty, not to mention that I am a businessman."
Lu Yutong did not hide anything, and said directly: "Since I am the Right Prime Minister, the reason is the Blackwater Alliance ten years ago. The Dayuan and the Turkic Royal Court have now reached the point of incompatibility. The Great Yuan demands the Turkic Royal Court.
To issue an edict and make him the emperor means to ask to be treated as an equal. Although this has always been the case before, this time it is to ask for someone to be treated as an equal.
The Turks would not grant them status, and negotiations were ongoing. I heard that this incident was related to the foreshadowing of the Right Prime Minister ten years ago and the operation of the past ten years. Therefore, the main fighting faction strongly advocated the revival of the Right Prime Minister, and the official
I also felt that once the war started, if the Right Prime Minister was here, his operation in the past ten years would definitely play a big role, so I issued an order to recruit the Right Prime Minister to return."
"I see, if war breaks out, I really have to go to Jinling." Jiang Ning said.
"What does going to Jinling have to do with the war? Jinling is to the west of Hangzhou, but it belongs to the south. It is still thousands of miles away from Luoyang, let alone thousands of miles away from the border. How can we worry about the war spreading to Hangzhou?" Lu Yutong asked puzzledly.
.
Jiang Ning looked around and saw that no one had sat down yet, so he whispered: "I'm telling you, you must not leak it out."
Lu Yutong frowned but nodded when she saw Jiang Ning taking matters seriously: "Tell me..."
