Chapter 211: All Developed
After listening to Pan Yingying's explanation, Yu Chaosheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.
So, the original body is actually the descendant of Princess Funing?
No wonder when I was in private school, others didn’t have to learn the Da Qi language, but I was forced to study by the teacher.
"But, that's not right. Why did the eldest and second sons of Yu barely recognize a few words?" Yu Chaosheng realized that something was wrong. Why did they treat the original bodies differently? Aren't they all the children of Old Man Yu and Old Wang?
Pan Yingying pondered for a long while, then said slowly, "I have a guess."
Yu Chaosheng raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Please speak."
Pan Yingying leaned back in the armchair, her left hand tapping unconsciously on the table in front of her. "There are two possibilities. One is that you are not Old Man Yu's biological son, and the other is that Old Man Yu's eldest and second sons are not Old Man Yu's biological sons. Judging from Old Wang's attitude towards her three sons, I am more inclined to the former."
Yu Chaosheng scratched his head, "That makes sense, but who are my biological parents?"
Pan Yingying shook her head. She didn’t know either. All the people who knew his background were dead... No, there was still one person who might know!
She raised her eyes and met Yu Chaosheng's. They both said in unison, "Master Qingyun!"
……
……
Taoist Qingyun sneezed, took a sip of freshly brewed tea, stretched himself, put the letter with dried ink in his pocket, went to the next room to get his beloved bicycle, and slowly rode to Long Qi's yard.
Come to think of it, it’s time for the young master and the others to meet that person.
Not long after, a thin figure rode out of the city on a fast horse.
……
……
In Wu County, Chen Qinyu received a report that a man claiming to be Chen Qingzhi was asking to see him outside the city.
Her hand holding the pen trembled, and a drop of ink fell on the edict, forming a puff of ink.
Is it really him?
Chen Qianzhi was not wearing a mask, and his face full of hideous scars was exposed to everyone.
He was riding on the horse with a straight posture. Even from a long distance, Chen Qinyu recognized at a glance that this was the father whom she had hated and resented, but missed so much.
"Chen Qianzhi!" She lay on the city wall and shouted like an ordinary girl, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment and longing that had accumulated in her heart over the years.
Chen Qingzhi raised his eyes, his fingers trembling unconsciously, and he could hardly hold the reins.
The little girl who rode on his shoulders and said that she wanted to grow up to be more powerful than the God of War General, has she grown up this much already?
His Yu'er, his only daughter... Chen Qingzhi choked up and let the hot tears fall all over his face.
Chen Qinyu rushed down the city wall, no longer as steady as usual. She ran out of the city at a rapid pace, rushing towards the figure that was almost blurred in her memory.
Chen Qianzhi dismounted from his horse and quickly stepped forward, just like he had done back then, to catch his daughter who was rushing towards him.
"Chen Qingzhi, you are so lucky that you came back alive."
Chen Qinyu cried and laughed in her father's arms.
When she was young, she didn't like to call "Dad", and always called him "Chen Qingzhi". Her mother punished her several times but she didn't change, because she believed that she would become a more powerful person than "Chen Qingzhi" in the future, and calling him "Dad" would lose face.
But her father never got angry and even praised her for her ambition. She thought she would never have the chance to be called "Chen Qianzhi" again in her life, but she didn't expect that her father would come back today, and he came back alive!
"Chen Qingzhi, are you still leaving?" She stood up straight and looked at the crisscrossing scars on the man's face. She felt no pity or other emotions. It was just like what she had asked her father before he left for Tongguan. "Chen Qingzhi, are you still coming back?"
Chen Qingzhi felt a dull pain in his chest, as if his heart was being squeezed and was twitching in pain.
He nodded, then shook his head.
"I will not go to the battlefield again. The Royal Court has been conquered."
"But I will be the governor of Beizhou in the future."
Chen Qinyu blinked, "Beizhou? What is that place?"
Chen Qingzhi smiled proudly, "Beizhou... is where the royal court was originally located." "But the little princess, no, she is no longer a little princess now, she should be called Your Highness. The grassland was divided into four major states by Your Highness, and the royal court is in Beizhou."
"She gave me the appointment letter. I will go to Beizhou to serve as an official in the future."
"Yu'er, are you willing to go with your father?"
Chen Qingzhi looked at his daughter in front of him, and as expected, he saw rejection in her eyes.
"I won't go. I want to be the emperor." Chen Qinyu said solemnly, "Chen Qingzhi, I want to hold my destiny in my own hands."
……
……
Suzhou, the provincial capital.
Two green-shed horse-drawn carriages slowly drove into Huaihua Lane and stopped outside a quiet courtyard.
The little girl in a light blue dress jumped off the carriage at the back and turned around to help a woman in dark green clothes get down.
"Mother, please slow down."
The old woman said "Ah" and her face was full of smiles.
Shitou took the key and opened the gate.
The yard is not big, and there is a well against the wall. Although it is small, it has everything.
The old woman was very satisfied and kept nodding her head.
"More Ziyi brothers."
Shitou smiled and drove the carriage into the yard, and took out two large bundles and two large bags of rice.
Finally, he handed the keys and a bag of silver to the old woman, and drove away in the carriage outside the yard.
In the evening, everything was ready.
The old woman sat on the bed and opened the bag containing the silver.
There were twenty small silver ingots in total, and a purse on top. When the purse was opened, there was a roll of small-denomination silver bills inside. The old woman counted them and found that there were a total of three hundred taels.
During this period, they were stringing glass beads in the team, and they got a commission of ten cents for each string. Even this old woman had saved nearly five taels of silver, not to mention Lan Ya who had recovered and Yun Ya who only needed to be taken care of.
Thinking of what she had seen and heard along the way, the old woman immediately decided to go to the bank early tomorrow morning to exchange some silver, and then go to the silver shop to buy some jewelry for her daughter-in-law and daughter to spend the silver notes.
In this world, silver notes can turn into waste paper if you are not careful, so gold and silver are safer.
……
……
Long Wuqi handed the letter to Pan Yingying personally, but as soon as she left the tent, Long Sanqi grabbed it.
Seeing the bundles being brought to him one after another, Long Wuqi was speechless.
Didn't you agree to escort the girl to the capital? How come both of you have become rich?
Liang Ye patted Long Wuqi's shoulder with a lavish look, took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Travel expenses!"
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to follow along this time, otherwise, how could he have had the opportunity to make such a fortune?
Long Sanqi chuckled and bumped Liang Ye with his shoulder, "Captain Liang is so generous!"
Seeing this, the others also took out two taels of silver each to give him as travel expenses.
Long Sanqi was so happy that his teeth were visible and his eyes were not, and his mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it.
Although this trip of delivering the letter is hard, it is worth it to receive so much silver for travel expenses!
