Chapter 343 Entering Beijing
The affairs of the Rong family were just idle talk for Xia Ruwan and Qin Huiyin and had no impact on their lives.
When she learned about the fate of the Rong brothers and sisters, Xia Ruwan said, "Serves them right," and continued to talk to Qin Huiyin about moving to the capital.
When Tang Luwu heard about the move to Beijing, she excitedly joined their conversation. The three sisters talked about many plans, made arrangements for the place, and thought about life after moving to Beijing.
"My mother just finished her confinement and needs to recover, so she can't come with us. I've discussed it with her. She and Uncle He will stay here with my younger brother. When my younger brother is older and can travel far, they will come to the capital. By then, we should have established ourselves in the capital."
"That's fine." Qin Huiyin said, "I received a letter from my brother via carrier pigeon, saying that my eldest brother has joined the Censorate and is the Chief Censor, a fifth-rank official."
"Although I don't know much about officialdom, this is the first time I've heard of someone being awarded such a high position right after entering the civil service," Xia Ruwan said. "I asked my mother the other day, and she said that newly crowned top scorers are generally given a position as editors in the Hanlin Academy. Your eldest brother was able to get a fifth-rank official position right from the start. His future is limitless!"
"I don't understand these things either, but I believe in my elder brother. He has the ability and can accomplish something great." Qin Huiyin said, "Since we have agreed, let's prepare ourselves. We will set off for the capital in ten days. Don't bring too much food or clothing. As long as you have enough banknotes, you can buy more on the way. Let's travel light. If there are interesting places along the way, we can stay for a few more days."
"I've been wanting to relax for a while. We've been exhausted these past few years, living a tense life every day." Xia Ruwan stood up. "Then I'm going back."
Qin Huiyin's decision represents the decision of the entire Tang family.
When Doctor Wei heard that they were going to Beijing, he was unwilling to restrict Tang Yixiao and let Tang Yixiao go with his family.
"My master said he had nothing more to teach me, and asked me to see more patients, do more hands-on work, and integrate more into practical applications. He also wrote me a letter of recommendation, asking me to find his senior brother after I go to Beijing and continue studying medicine with him." Tang Yi said with a smile, "I wanted my master to accompany me to Beijing, but he didn't want to, saying that he prefers the popularity of a small town like this."
Now that she was going to Beijing, Qin Huiyin had a lot of things to arrange. She left early and returned late every day, exhausted like a top.
Before going to Beijing, they returned to their hometown, said hello to their good friends there, had a farewell banquet together, and then left.
Ten days later, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages left the county town in a mighty procession.
Tang Luwu leaned against the window, looking at the familiar street, thinking about how their home came into being from nothing. Her nose felt sore, her eyes red, and she wiped away her tears.
"Can't bear to let you go? If you can't bear to let you go, I'll let you go now and leave you here to manage these properties." Qin Huiyin laughed at her.
"Don't think about leaving me." Tang Luwu leaned on Qin Huiyin's shoulder. "Wherever you are, there I will be."
"That won't do." Li Taohua said with a smile, "Yinyin will get married sooner or later, so what's the point of you sticking with the past?"
"Mom, you're teasing me too." Tang Luwu said angrily, "When Yinyin gets married, I'll move next door to her and be her neighbor for life."
"Now that we've arrived in the capital, it's time to arrange marriages for you. Look at all the girls here," Li Taohua said. "And your eldest brother is now a fifth-rank official. He's a talented young man, and there will definitely be many people eyeing him. I'll have to carefully look for a good match for you. So, I'm going to be very busy after arriving in the capital."
There were more than twenty followers in the convoy. These followers were all elites selected by Song Yi from Song Ruize's subordinates, and each of them was a martial artist.
Xia Ruwan listened to the shouting from the carriage behind and said to Li Taohua, "Aunt Li, Uncle Tang seems to be carsick. Do you want to go and see him?"
"He's not carsick, he's peopleick. My mother isn't here, so he must have resorted to some trickery to get her over here." Qin Huiyin shook her head. "I don't want to find someone so clingy in the future."
Li Taohua listened to Tang Dafu calling her "wife, wife" and said unhappily, "How shameful! At such an old age, he still acts like a baby who hasn't been weaned."
She stopped the car and got into the car behind, and then her angry scolding was heard. But no matter how fierce her scolding was, Tang Dafu endured it honestly and said nice things.
Tang Luwu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yinyin, let me tell you something funny."
"What?" The strong women who were usually busy were bored in the carriage and could only talk about gossip to pass the time.
After all, we have just started our journey, and it is impossible to stop and rest now.
Tang Luwu said, "Yesterday when we were packing up, I saw my father secretly hiding a lot of facial masks, so I asked him why. He said that there must be a lot of good-looking young men in the capital, and he should use more facial masks on his skin while on the road to prevent your mother from being seduced by another pretty boy when they get to the capital."
Xia Ruwan was envious and said, "Uncle Tang really loves Aunt Li. It's hard to find a man like him."
Qin Huiyin was also amused.
Four months later, the convoy arrived in the capital.
"Wow..." Tang Lvwu pulled Qin Weiyin, who was half asleep, and said, "Yinyin, look, this city gate is so big!"
Qin Huiyin opened her eyes, glanced at the city gate, yawned, and said, "Yeah, it's very big."
"We've actually come to the capital." Tang Luwu's eyes were full of stars. "I never thought I'd end up in such a prosperous place. This is the Emperor's footsteps, the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world. I heard there are even blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners here, and there's a lot of delicious food and fun things to do."
Xia Ruwan said, "Although I've been studying abroad for several years, I've never been to the capital. Lv Wu was thrilled, and I was also shocked by what I saw."
"We wrote a letter to Big Brother before we set off. Do you think he received it? Will he send someone to pick us up?" Tang Luwu asked.
Tang Yixiao was in another carriage. He stuck his head out and said to Tang Luwu, "Sister, look in front. Is that person Jiang Qibin?"
Qin Huiyin heard it, stuck her head out, looked at the figure in front of her, and said, "It's him."
At this time, Jiang Qibin was riding a tall horse, covering his forehead with his hands, looking into the distance.
"Here they come." Jiang Qibin said excitedly, "Jin Yuan, look, they're here."
When the other team heard him say this, they hurried forward and said, "Excuse me, are you the master of the Tang family? I am the steward of the Tang Mansion. I am waiting here at the command of Master Tang."
"Hey, old man, we saw it first. How can you snatch someone away like this?" Jiang Qibin said dissatisfiedly, then smiled at Qin Huiyin, "Sister Huiyin, we meet again."
