On the day when the 22nd branch of the North and South Dashun Soup opened, Yan Yunquan and three hundred guards finally arrived in the capital.

Xiao learned about his itinerary two days in advance and arranged for someone to greet him outside the city early.

The manager was ordered to arrange Yan Yunquan and his group to live in the courtyard of the city.

As soon as Yan Yunquan walked into the villa, he realized something was wrong.

This is not where Mrs. Xiao lives.

No one lived in this villa before.

It is easy to see if there are people living in the house but no one living in it.

Yan Yunquan looked at the manager with a bad look, "What do you mean by putting this young master in a villa and living with his wife and two sisters?"

Judging from his appearance, he had to draw his sword and kill someone if he had any disagreement.

The manager was frightened and hurriedly said, "Young Master! The youngest is doing things according to the instructions of the county magistrate. The young master settles down first and rests for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will go to pay my respects to the county magistrate."

Yan Yunquan snorted coldly, "Absurd! I was a family, but I had to live in separate houses. Could it be that the dignified county lord's mansion could not tolerate this son alone?"

The manager said: "Everything is the order of the county magistrate. If the young master has any questions, if you meet the county magistrate tomorrow, you might as well ask in person. The county magistrate will definitely give the young master an explanation."

Yan Yunquan restrained his anger, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to pay my respects to my wife."

He sent the manager away, and his anger was uneasy.

The confidant Master Wang came to him and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do next?"

Yan Yunquan sneered, "What else can I do? She is the mistress, I am the concubine's son. I will go to pay my respects tomorrow morning. I want to see what reasons she needs to use to settle this young master here openly. Humph, if you act like this, you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Master Wang frowned, "Why don't you send a letter to the Marquis and report all the happenings here to the Marquis one by one."

Yan Yunquan said: "Of course we have to write to my father, but there is no rush at this time. We just arrived in the capital and our eyes were dark. We wait first and find out the situation before we write to my father."

Master Wang was worried, "Mrs. I clearly don't want the young master to accumulate contacts smoothly. But without the wife taking the lead and taking care of the young master, how can the young master gain a foothold in the capital?"

Yan Yunquan had a serious face and a very bad mood. "I didn't have to rely on her. The reputation of the Yan family is always useful in the capital. And before coming, my father gave me a list and I will visit them one by one tomorrow."

Master Wang sighed, "I have read the list given by the Marquis, and they are basically military generals. If the young master wants to enter the circle of powerful people in the capital and contact the royal family, he still has to rely on his wife. As long as the wife is willing to help, with the young master's talent, he will definitely be able to open up the situation."

Yan Yunquan laughed at himself, "What are you doing now? My wife clearly refused to give me a chance, and she was helpless. She had a conflict with her father. As the eldest son of the Yan family, I can only be angry with this splinter."

"Maybe you can start with the second girl or the fourth girl. The two girls have been to Beijing for half a year, and I believe they have known some people."

Yan Yunquan thought about it and nodded secretly, "Yun Ge is not easy to talk and has a lot of heart. I'm afraid he won't give me a good face. Yun Qi is better off getting along with each other than Yun Ge. If you continue to give the two girls a gift, add another 30%."

"The young master and the two girls are brothers and sisters, so they should be friendly. The second girl is asking for marriage to the second prince. If the young master can get the second girl's help, this is the entry point to open up the situation in the capital."

Yan Yunquan nodded repeatedly. When he saw Yun Qi tomorrow, he had to talk to her.

They are all children of the Yan family, so they should watch over and help each other.

Besides, after Yan Yunqi married into the royal family, she also needed the support of her mother's family.

He is Yan Yunqi's family.

...

Early in the morning, Yan Yunquan packed up and took a cart of gifts to the county magistrate's mansion.

It was not until this time that he realized that the villa where he lived was seven or eight streets away from the county magistrate's mansion.

The powerful and powerful people in the capital basically live in Ping'anfang.

The location of the county lord’s palace is a real prime location.

When Yan Yunquan learned of this situation, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Xiao settled him in a villa and separated him from the powerful people in the capital from his residence.

He wanted to have a chance to meet him and create an opportunity to get to know him, but he didn't even have a chance.

"It's really vicious to use your heart!"

Yan Yunquan gritted his teeth and felt resentful.

However, he is quite scheming.

No matter how angry he was, the moment he got off the carriage, he had already put away his emotions and showed an impeccable smile.

Standing at the door of the county lord's mansion, he looked up at the door plaque, then looked at the two stone lions in front of the door, and sneered in his heart.

It turns out that he became a guest, not a family member.

Xiao really distinguished "you and me" clearly, and did not hide it at all, and was open and open.

Even if some people say she is unwilling tolerant, she probably doesn't care.

yes!

How could she care?

After leaving Shanggu County, the capital city was her territory.

She wouldn't feel wronged at all.

She wants to do whatever she wants.

How could she take a mere illegitimate son seriously?

"Young Master, don't let the county magistrate wait for a long time." The servant reminded Yan Yunquan, don't be stunned, go in quickly.

Yan Yunquan put away his messy thoughts and ordered his servants to "lead the way forward."

Enter through the side door.

It is worthy of being the county magistrate's mansion. The outer courtyard alone has already made Yan Yunquan feel the exquisiteness and luxury of the layout.

"I heard that this mansion was rewarded to my wife by Emperor Zhongzong before his death?" Yan Yunquan asked casually.

The population is called yes.

This mansion was indeed rewarded by Emperor Zhongzong to Xiao before his death.

In name, it is the county lord's mansion, and the pattern is not bad at all compared to the princess's mansion, and it is even better than that.

Everyone in the capital knows that this mansion was compensated by Emperor Zhongzong to Xiao out of guilt.

More than twenty years ago, Xiao lost his father and mother overnight, and his brothers and sisters, and she was alone in the world.

Later it was found that the case of "Prince Zhang Yi" plotting against rebellion was framed.

Emperor Zhongzong feels guilty!

If it weren't for his order, the Eastern Palace family wouldn't have died so miserably.

What is a mere mansion worth as compensation to Xiao?

Even the three thousand guards of the Eastern Palace were also issued by Emperor Zhongzong to leave the force that Xiao protects himself.

He was worried that someone would take Xiao's life after his death.

Three thousand guards of the Eastern Palace are the guarantee of Xiao's life.

Emperor Zhongzong died.

The late emperor, that is, Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping, succeeded to the throne, failed to take away the three thousand guards of the Eastern Palace from Xiao.

Xuan Zongyuan could only pinch his nose and endure it. Then he pointed Xiao's marriage to Yan Shouzhan and sent him away.

This trip took twenty years.

Twenty years later, Xiao returned to the capital, and Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping had passed away for more than ten years.

However, the mansion is still there and the guards are there.

...

Yan Yunquan was taken to the flower hall by his servants.

Xiao sits in the main seat high.

Yan Yunge and Yan Yunqi sat at both ends.

Yan Yunquan stepped forward a few steps and bowed, "Son greets his wife, and your wife is healthy."

"Thank you for your hard work on the road, sit down and talk!" Xiao's expression was faint.

"Thank you, madam!" Yan Yunquan had a very good manners and was easy to make people feel good.

At this time, Yan Yunge and Yan Yunqi stood up and saluted Yan Yunquan.

"I've met my elder brother! My elder brother has been working hard all the way, thank you for your hard work!"

"You don't have to be polite to you. Since you left home, you miss me very much."

The brother and sister greeted each other.

Afterwards, Yan Yunquan took out a gift list, a total of three copies.

"This is my father's intention to prepare for his wife. My father has always been thinking about his wife and just wishes he could come to the capital in person. These two copies are the intentions that my brother, as my brother, has prepared for the two sisters."

The mother and daughter received the gift list.
