On the third floor of a women's club in the capital, the windows facing the street were all open, a sweet-looking girl sat by the window, looking at the direction of the city gate with anticipation, and all the people in the opposite building noticed her. The girl's eyes fell on her, but the girl didn't seem to feel it, and looked around without blinking.

"The county master comes to wait for Jiang Shilang to return every day, and I don't know when Jiang Shilang will be able to come back."

"It's been seven or eight months since Jiang Shilang has gone to sea, so there won't be anything wrong."

"Don't talk nonsense! You don't want to die!"

"I don't know what Jiang Shilang is thinking. Why do you have to go to sea? We are not a big country."

In the opposite building, whispers like this could be heard endlessly, but even if the girl heard it, she ignored it, still staring in the direction of the city gate as before, waiting for Brother Xi's safe return.

The girl is none other than the daughter of Duke Zhongyong, the Lord of Yilan County, Wang Jingyan, also known by her nickname as Nizi. But now there are very few people who call her Nizi, after all she has grown up. This women's club named "Linglong Pavilion" was opened by Wang Jingyan. It was originally a place for her to drink tea, chat, read and draw with her sisters, but it turned out to be a place where the ladies of the capital compete to enter.

To enter the "Linglong Pavilion", you must have the "Linglong Card", which was designed by Wang Jingyan and made by her fiancé, Jiang Moxi, the servant of the labor department, to enter the Linglong Pavilion. This card is made of glass, and each card is inlaid with a thin crystal. This card is placed on a special item of Linglong Academy, and the name of the card holder can be displayed in the crystal.

When this kind of card appeared, I don't know how much shock it caused. A card was fired for 10,000 taels of silver, but the people who could get this kind of card were women who were very close to Wang Jingyan, and no one would be stupid. When she went to sell it, Wang Jingyan just felt that it was a bit restrictive to always gather with friends at home, not her restriction, but her friends would be restrictive. Later, with the consent of her little father Shao Yunan, she found a shop in her own name, and after renovation, it became a private club for gathering with friends. As for this kind of card, she just casually said, Jiang Moxi took it to heart.

The first card was made, and Wang Jingyan liked it very much. She didn't plan to use this club for profit, so she asked Brother Xi to make a few more cards and give them to friends. In the future, friends can go to Linglong with this card. Court to have a small gathering.

It's not that Wang Jingyan's eyes are higher than the top, and she only associates with noble girls. Because of her current status, the only people who can get along with her can only be women with status. However, this club is said to be a women's club. In fact, there are also men who can come in, but the men who can come are more noble, and there are only a few, and there is no need to hold a card to enter.

Today's Wang Jingyan has long lost the shadow of the poor little girl who was abused by her grandmother and aunt back then. She has never forgotten the past sufferings, but only never. Now, she is a happy young girl who is doted on by her father and little father, loved by her elders, loved by her older brother and younger brother, and held in the palm of her hand by her fiance.

"sister."

The girl returned to her senses and turned her head: "Kongkong, why are you here?"

Wang Xingyi sat down opposite his sister, and Da Jin, who came with him, lay down beside Wang Xingyi's feet just like him, and he was full of laziness. When he was two years old, Wang Xingyi got a nickname - "Kongkong" - given by his little father Shao Yunan. A waitress came over and placed a tea set in front of Wang Xingyi, the king of Ruian County, which was what he used to do, and the tea served was also his favorite black tea.

Only then did Wang Xingyi answer her sister's question: "A Yuan is going to meet someone, I followed impatiently, knowing that Sister Jui is here, come over to drink tea with you."

Wang Jingyan laughed, reached out to touch her brother's head, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I want popcorn and ice cream."

Wang Jingyan immediately ordered the waiter to serve popcorn and ice cream. It's hot, so it's time to eat cold.

A waitress came up at this time and said, "The county master, Miss Zhang family and Miss Xu family are here."

Wang Jingyan said, "I'll drink tea with Kong Kong and tell them to play by themselves. I won't accompany them today."

The waitress went downstairs. The site on the third floor is Wang Jingyan's private domain. Unless she invites, most people will not come directly, but family members are naturally excluded. Wang Jingyan's little sisters also knew her habit, so they just sent someone to ask.

Popcorn and ice cream were delivered quickly, and Wang Xiayan said, "Go and wash your hands before eating."

"Oh." Wang Xingyi went to the bathroom to wash his hands obediently.

After he came back and sat down again, Wang Jingyan took out a handkerchief and pulled his hand, carefully wiping it for him: "Every time I wash my hands, I don't dry them well."

"Isn't my sister here?"

As the youngest child in the family, and his brother and sister are many years apart, Wang Xingyi has always been neither big nor small in front of his brothers and sisters. After drying her brother's hands, Wang Jingyan put the handkerchief aside and asked, "Can I go home today? Or do I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince later?"

Wang Xingyi, who bowed his head to eat ice cream, said casually, "A Yuan said that he will come to see me in a while, but he has not decided whether to go home or not." He raised his head, "Sister, eldest brother should be back soon."

Wang Jingyan's expression was gloomy, and she quickly showed a smile that told the other party not to worry, and said, "Sister knows that he will be back soon, and she is waiting for him here." Wang Xingyi also knew that he couldn't persuade him, and the whole family couldn't persuade him, so he was simply low-key Eat carefully.

After Wang Xingyi ate ice cream and two pieces of popcorn, a young man surrounded by servants walked into Linglong Pavilion. When people in Linglong Pavilion saw him, whether it was a waiter or a girl who was gathering here, they all saluted immediately. The young man just nodded lightly and went straight upstairs.

"Empty. Jing Yan."

Wang Xingyi raised his head, Wang Jingyan turned her head and stood up. Wang Xingyi was still sitting there.

"His Royal Highness."

Wang Jingyan called out in a close tone. Prince Murong Yuan walked over to Wang Xingyi and sat down. He took the kung fu tea cup in front of him and drank the tea inside, and then told Wang Jingyan good news: "Jingyan, Jiang Shilang is back."

Wang Jingyan, who had just sat down, stood up abruptly, her face flushed instantly, if you look closely, you will find that her hands are shaking.

"Really, is this? Brother Xi is back?"

Wang Xingyi looked shocked: "A Yuan, my eldest brother is back? Why don't I know? My sister doesn't know either." When the eldest brother came back, shouldn't it be the sister who knew first?

The prince patted Wang Xingyi's head, not to mention the skillful movement, and said, "Jiang Shilang's letter should arrive later, and I will naturally be faster here. He will arrive at the capital in four days at the latest."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Wang Jingyan turned around and ran, and the sound of going downstairs struck the hearts of everyone in Linglong Pavilion. Wang Xingyi was stunned, then he looked out the window with hindsight, and saw his sister running out of Linglong Pavilion all the way to the house, and quickly shouted: "Sister, go back in a carriage! Don't run."

Wang Jingyan, who was running, stopped abruptly. It seemed that she realized what she had done, and the servant who was chasing her hurriedly pulled the carriage to protect her from getting into the car. Wang Xingyi retracted his head and grinned at Murong Yuan: "Haha, great, the eldest brother is coming back, the elder sister can finally stop being Wangfushi, the father and the little father and the second brother can also eat and sleep well. awake."

Murong Yuan patted his head: "As for you, don't worry."

Wang Xingyi nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm relieved. But I always believed that my eldest brother would come back safely. The eldest brother will take us out to sea."

The gentle smile on Murong Yuan's face stagnated, but Wang Xingyi, who had always been rough, didn't notice it. Zhuan Rongyuan asked casually, "Do you still want to go to sea?"

"Of course. How could I miss something so cool."

Murong Yuan's eyes were cloudy: "Then you're going to sea, what should I do? You're willing to let me worry about you every day? Can't sleep at night, don't think about tea and rice?"

"Uh..." Wang Xingyi smiled awkwardly, and then said recklessly, "Who told you not to leave, or you can go to sea with us!" The other party put away his smile, and Wang Xingyi hurried to remedy: "I No, you can let the baby accompany you."

Murong Yuan: "Do you think Uncle Huang will let him go?"

"Uh...then you still have Ah Fan."

"He's young."

"Uh..." Wang Xingyi sighed and spread his hands, "Then there is no way, who called you a prince."

Seeing him like this, Murong Yuan knew that Wang Xingyi's laziness was coming up, and he showed a gentle smile again: "Okay, since you are going to go, go ahead. Then stay with me more before you go to sea. "

"That's fine."

"Let's go then."

"Where?"

"your home."

Wang Xingyi and Murong Yuan left Linglong Pavilion together, Da Jin yawned, got up, and followed slowly.

Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are now only eleven-year-old young men, Wang Xingyi's temperament is still relatively happy, but Murong Yuan has been on the road to a qualified prince for many years. Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are only a month apart, but Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are uncles and nephews in terms of seniority. Wang Jingyan and Wang Qing both have to call Murong Yuan uncle. Murong Yuan is the prince. In order to avoid such embarrassment, Wang Qing and Wang Xiayan simply Even calling him His Royal Highness should be respected. Murong Yuan called Wang Qing and Wang Jingyan by their first names, which was the most suitable for both identity and backup. As Murong Yuan grew up, he became more accustomed to the names of each other. However, Wang Xingyi has never been troubled by the name, and when he is sensible, he calls the prince "A Yuan".

In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongming, the voyage ships were built under the auspices of Jiang Moxi. After the eight large voyage ships were successfully tested, they began to carry out their missions. For the first voyage, Jiang Moxi personally led the team, and they were going to the country of Das. , and then go south from the country of Das to the place where patterned iron is produced. If possible, Jiang Moxi will continue to go south.

Jiang Moxi has always remembered to take his family to sea. It can be said that this voyage is a preliminary preparation for taking his family to sea smoothly. Jiang Moxi has been away for eight months. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan have persuaded him not to take the issue of sea to heart. However, Jiang Moxi had already made up his mind, and even Wang Jingyan could not persuade him to change his mind. Jiang Moxi went to sea amid the worries and concerns of his family. Since he went to sea, Wang Jingyan has been waiting for the news of his return in Linglong Pavilion, because the street outside Linglong Pavilion is the only way to enter the capital.

Jiang Moxi was about to come back, and the news spread from the palace very quickly, and the loyal and brave mansion who got the news first showed a reassuring smile for several months. Wang Shijing immediately wrote to Wang Qing asking him to return to Beijing immediately, and informed Jiang Kangchen and Jiang Kangning. Wang Qing is reading thousands of books and walking thousands of miles. After Jiang Moxi went to sea, he left the capital. Luo Rongwang and Wang Zhengjun Guo Zimu, who were vacationing in a winery in the suburbs, packed their bags and returned to Beijing immediately after receiving the news.

In the Luo Rong palace, Murong Baobao was sitting on his elder brother Murong Shizi's knees, with a pair of beautiful eyes like a little father blinking.

"Brother, don't be angry, I won't play with Luo Zian in the future."

The icy coldness of Murong Shizi permeated the entire room. In front of him, four guards and two maids knelt there, shivering.

Murong Baobao was not at all afraid of his brother's appearance, and he was not happy either. Murong Shizi glanced at the kneeling person, picked up Murong baby, stood up, and walked out. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to bear to kill those weakly protected things with his own hands. The slimming Murong Shizi has completely changed now. With a certain appearance, coupled with a stable position and great power in his hands, he stomped his feet, and the capital would also shake—shaking.

"Brother, don't be angry, it will hurt here."

Murong Baobao rubbed his brother's chest and blew. After this blow, Murong Shizi's complexion improved a little, but only a little.

"Are you scared?" Murong Shizi asked.

"...No. I just hate it. I'll never play with Luo Zian again!" Murong Baobao wiped his face hard.

Murong Shizi pulled his hand, and then one person walked over quickly, bowed his head and said, "Prince, Jiang Shilang is about to return to Beijing."

Prince Murong - startled, asked: "Is the news accurate?"

"It came from the palace."

Prince Murong immediately thought that his father and little father had received this news - they would come back immediately, and he immediately ordered someone to tidy up the palace and welcome his father and little father back to the house. After Murong Shizi finished making arrangements, Murong Baobao asked, "Brother, are dad and little dad coming back?"

"Well. I'm coming back. Brother Xi is coming back."

"Ah, great, Kong Kong said that Xixi will bring a lot of good things when he comes back."

"Brother is going to Zhongyong Gongfu, do you want to go?"

"If you want it, I'll just have fun."

"Maybe Kong Kong is not in the mansion."

"If you're not, I'll play with Brother Tiger."

Prince Murong turned around and went back to his room. Murong Baobao, who was stolen by a trusted friend, is no longer angry, but the son of Muke has already figured out how to teach the Luo family a lesson. Can his baby be kissed casually? !

It can't be blamed that Murong Shizi is nervous now, Murong Baobao's little father is Guo Zimu, Guo Zimu is a charming blue face with a devilish face, and Murong Baobao is "unfortunate" like his little father. King Luo Rong and Guo Zimu were in love like conjoined twins. After Prince Murong gained a firm foothold in the court, King Luo Rong didn't even go to the court and was in complete retirement. Murong Baby Factory was almost brought up by Murong Shizi, and he has such a face, can Murong Shizi not be nervous?

When they arrived at the Zhongyong Mansion, Wang Xingyi was there, and Murong Baobao was very happy. Wang Xingyi often accompanies the prince in the East Palace, and the young master of the Zhongyong Palace is always there. Wang Xingyi and Wang Jingyan are both at home today, and the prince is also here. With another baby Murong, the Zhongyong Palace is much more lively.

Jiang Moxi came back this time and brought back a lot of overseas supplies, so the prince had to go back to the palace today. After dinner at the Zhongyong Mansion, the prince dragged Wang Xingyi away. Because he had too much fun with Xiao Jin, Murong Baby fell asleep before dinner, and Murong Shizi took him back to the palace first.

Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian were finally relieved that their son came back safely. The two have long lived together now, and in private, in front of relatives and friends, the two held a remarriage ceremony. Externally, the two are still in the relationship of master and servant. They have experienced so many things to be able to reunite as a family. Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian cherish their current life. They have no plans to have any more children. They ate together with Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan. , Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian also returned to the mansion. Although the son lived in the mansion for a short time, the son's room had to be cleaned up early.

Jiang Kangning, who also returned from a dinner at the Zhongyong Mansion, put his sleeping son on the bed, and then returned to the room with his wife. Jiang Suoning now has a son and two daughters. After Weng Yao got married, the daughter she brought with her changed her surname to Jiang. Jiang Kangning and Weng Yao are now a loving husband and wife. The woman who has ridiculed Weng Yao for not being able to control her husband in the past does not know how jealous she is now.

After washing up and going to bed, Jiang Kangning let out a sigh of relief and said, "If Brother Xi doesn't come back, Jing Yan will get sick."

Weng Yao asked: "Brother Xi is back, should he and the county master get married? The county master is also seventeen."

Jiang Kangning: "It should be done. If Brother Xi hadn't gone to sea, it would have been done this year. Brother Xi couldn't wait. When the date is set, the elder brother will need his wife to help him."

"You can rest assured. I will call the county lord Fengfengguangguang to enter the door."

Jiang Kangning lay down: "Go to sleep."

In the East Palace, Wang Xingyi, who had finished taking a bath, yawned and crawled onto the bed with sleepy eyes. One person hugged him from behind, and he turned around.

"Um?"

"Don't sleep first, I'm going in."

"Oh." Wang Xingyi grabbed the hand around his waist, and in an instant, the two disappeared in place. Dae-jin got up, walked to the door, and lay down.

About half an hour later, the two appeared on the spot. Wang Xingyi, who couldn't open his eyes, climbed onto the bed, got into the duvet, and fell asleep in seconds. The prince stood by the bed and looked at the dead man, thinking seriously about how to stop someone from going to sea. Going to bed, the prince leaned into the ear of someone who was already asleep and whispered: "Kongkong, when our son takes the throne, I will accompany you to the sea. You are willing to leave me, but I can't bear to be alone in the empty room."

"You don't object, you just agree."

"I knew you would agree."

A light kiss fell on someone's face, and the prince got into the bed and hugged someone.

In Duke Zhongyong's bedroom, Shao Yunan couldn't sleep because of Jiang Moxi's return. He put his pillow on Wang Shijing's chest and said, "Brother Xi said before he left that he would marry Nizi when he came back. When Brother Xi comes back, let's find someone to choose a date."

"Listen to you."

Thinking of another thing, Shao Yunan was a little worried: "Brother Jing, Kong Kong and the prince are so close, do you think the prince has found space in Kong Kong? I asked Kong Kong, and he said no. But I don't believe he can hide the prince. He The two are almost inseparable, and the prince is not stupid."

Wang Shijing: "I also asked him, and he said no, it should be no. Kong Kong is a little confused, but he shouldn't play around with this matter. But even if the prince knows, it's nothing, the two of them Just like a brother in a pair of pants, nothing will happen."

"The prince was also grown up by us, but he is the prince after all, and the future emperor. The emperor is so good to you and me, I dare not let him know that I have space, we have spiritual milk and fairy fruit. I don't think the prince Will hurt Kong Kong, but always be careful."

"Don't worry, even if there is danger, I have the confidence to protect Kong Kong. Don't forget, we still have brother Xi."

"Yeah, and brother Xi. Ah, brother Xi is coming back. I really miss him and must have lost weight."

"When he comes back, you can make up for him."

The husband and the wife talked about their children, about going out to sea, and about the prince. On the pier, Jiang Moxi, who got off the boat, got on the carriage to pick him up. He was still expressionless, but he was daunting. In front of him, his legs would always go weak involuntarily. The youngest servant in the history of the Ministry of Industry, and the mysterious owner of the private workshop. In the eyes of many people, he is just a senior technician, but he is Emperor Yongming, and he does not know Jiang Moxi's true strength. Jiang Moxi has his own bargaining chips. Chips to protect your family.

The carriage was driving, and a shadow jumped on the carriage and entered the car. Jiang Moxi just raised his eyelids, and his body remained unmoved.

"Master, the news has been sent back to the capital. The county master will wait for the master to return to the capital at Linglong Pavilion every day..."

Jiang Moxi quietly listened to the other party reporting all the things he needed to know during his absence in the capital, especially about the Yilan County Lord. After the person finished speaking, Jiang Moxi just gave a faint "um", and the next moment, there was no one in the car.

Nizi... Jiang Moxi closed her eyes... I'm back.

"Ah!"

Wang Jingyan woke up from her sleep, clutching her heart and gasping for breath, Brother Xi...

Jiang Moxi went to sea for the first time, and exchanged the tea, silk, porcelain, glass, mirrors, pearls, goat's milk wine, wine, etc. from the State of Yan for Daxing's gold and silver jewelry, exotic products, and the mining rights of two patterned iron mines. Emperor Yongming was overjoyed and rewarded. In March of the following year, Jiang Moxi married the Lord of Yilan County, and the wedding was more grand than that of King Luo Rong.

In the fifteenth year of Yongming, Prince Zhongyong Wang Shijing, Wang Shaozhengjun Shao Yunan, Wang Qing, Wang Jingyan, Jiang Moxi, and Wang Xingyi went to sea. Emperor Yongming's prospective prince, Murong Yuan, moved forward. Murong Yuan did not leave Wang Xingyi in the capital, but went with him. A year later, the fleet returned to Beijing. In the month of returning to Beijing, Emperor Yongming issued an decree to marry Wang Xingyi, the king of Ruian County, as the prince Zhengjun.

In the 20th year of Yongming, Jiang Moxi resigned and went to sea again with his wife Wang Jingyan. This time, there were 16 large ships on the voyage, accompanied by the loyal and brave husband and wife. When the ship sailed, two people who should not have been on the ship walked onto the deck. Husband was shocked.

Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's edict: I have a serious illness, I need to rest in peace, I ordered the prince to supervise the country, and I respect this.

Looking at this simple imperial decree that couldn't be simpler, the blue veins on the prince's forehead jumped. The second prince, Fuxiang County King, was so frightened that he hid behind Sister Wang. In the East Palace, Wang Xingyi, who was also abandoned, was still sleeping late. He couldn't take care of family affairs. He was not interested in the inner courtyard of the palace. his task.

After grunting a few times, Wang Xingyi scratched at the collarbone, the bright red mole between the collarbone looked charming. In the space, next to the puddle where the whey had fallen, the prince's Buddha relic flickered slightly.
