Chapter 171 Don't be nervous, that's your home
Although she said she didn't care anymore, she still felt uncomfortable deep down. After all, that was the family affection that Guo Jiaojiao had longed for for more than ten years.
Guo Jiaojiao fell asleep again.
Ye Tang walked out quietly and closed the door gently.
"Sister." Ye Ping'an patted her back gently.
Ye Tang turned around and made a gesture to him to keep quiet, and Ye Ping'an immediately shut up. Seeing that everyone was outside, Ye Tang asked them to leave first.
The group came to the lobby and asked the shopkeeper to prepare breakfast.
Ye Peng lowered his voice and asked, "How is that girl?"
"The fever has subsided. She will be fine after two days of rest." Ye Tang sighed softly, "She said she is not going home. She wants to go find her master."
"Where to find it?" Ye Ping'an was a little concerned.
"I don't know." Ye Tang shook her head and didn't ask any more questions.
Ye Peng looked unhappy: "Her father really doesn't care about her anymore?"
How could you let such a young daughter wander around outside? No matter how big a mistake she made, you can’t kick her out of the house!
And the richest man!
He can't even raise a daughter, he's nothing.
Ye Tang said: "It should be left alone. After all, it has become like that. Even if her father wants to intervene, she probably won't listen to him."
Guo Jiaojiao grew up in a nunnery and did not have much affection or nostalgia for the Guo family. All she had was a desire for family affection. Now that desire had been ruthlessly crushed by Master Guo, Guo Jiaojiao no longer had any hope.
So, if she said she would not go back, she probably really would not go back.
Ye Tang and the others did not dwell too much on Guo Jiaojiao's affairs. After breakfast, Ye Tang asked Lu Lihua to stay and take care of Guo Jiaojiao, while she took Xiao Jingxuan to visit Xuzhou City.
They didn't return to the inn until dark.
After two days of rest, Guo Jiaojiao was fully recovered and left.
Ye Tang and others did not try to keep him. They could help others appropriately in their affairs, but it would be bad if they interfered too much.
You can tell at first glance that Guo Jiaojiao is a person with her own ideas. Although she is young, she knows what she is doing.
After Guo Jiaojiao left, Ye Tang and his friends played in Xuzhou City for another two days. Only after they had enough fun did they continue their journey to the capital.
They walked very slowly on the rest of the journey. Every time they arrived at a city, they would stop to play for a few days, experience the local customs and practices, and help some people in need.
We stopped and started many times, and due to such delay, by the time we arrived in the capital, it was already the end of the year.
Even though they had seen many majestic cities along the way, when they arrived in the capital and saw the towering city walls and majestic city gates, Ye Tang and his family couldn't help but sigh.
"What a huge city gate!"
“The city wall is so high!”
"There are so many soldiers guarding the city. They all look so powerful!"
"The capital city is indeed the foothills of the emperor. No other place can compare to it."
Ye Tang had seen the ancient capital on TV, but that was just a TV show and could not be compared with reality.
For a little peasant girl like her, it is truly worth it to be able to live in a place like the capital.
She will live a better life in the future.
The soldiers defending the city were wearing thick armor, holding spears, and looked majestic.
Ahead there was a huge crowd of people queuing to enter the city.
"There are so many people!" Ye Ping'an's eyes lit up, as if he saw a moving mountain of gold and silver.
The more people there are, the easier it is to make money.
He wants to show his skills in the capital.
Ye Tang smiled and touched his head: "Don't be in a hurry, first find out the situation, we will take our time, there is plenty of time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Although the capital city is good, there are also many troubles. There are important people everywhere. If you are not careful, you will offend people you shouldn’t offend, or be targeted by others.
The biggest backer was not the princes, nobles, and dignitaries, but Emperor Yuanwu.
After traveling for several months, although they stopped along the way, Ye Tang and his companions were still very tired. Fortunately, they ate very well along the way and did not lose weight. Ye Ping'an even grew a little taller.
One has to queue up to enter the city, and there are so many people in front of them. While queuing, Ye Tang asked Lu Taohua to take out some melon seeds as snacks and eat them while waiting.
By the time it was their turn, it was already quarter of an hour later.
"Everyone in the carriage, get out!" the city guard shouted.
Fang Jing rode to the front and handed over the sign of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion.
Seeing Fang Jing and the sign, the soldiers guarding the city immediately became respectful: "It turns out to be General Fang. I didn't see it clearly just now. I hope General Fang will forgive me."
Fang Jing was from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion and was a general who had fought in the battlefield. Almost all the soldiers guarding the city knew him.
The soldiers defending the city did not dare to make things difficult. They just gave a casual check and let the carriage pass without even letting the people in the carriage get off.
The carriage entered the city gate smoothly, and once inside, the scene became even more lively.
"Sister, there are a lot of stalls over there."
"Sister, I smell mutton."
"Dad, look, what a huge building!"
Ye Ping'an was the most excited. He ran from one carriage to another, looking here and there, his eyes were so busy that he couldn't keep up.
"It's too big, the capital is too big!"
Ye Tang and Ye Peng were also dazzled by the sight, but Xiao Jingxuan was the only one who had no interest in anything in the capital. He lay in the carriage and fell asleep.
"Husband, we are going into the city." Ye Tang pulled Xiao Jingxuan's sleeve.
Xiao Jingxuan opened his eyes in confusion: "Are we at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"
Ye Tang smiled lightly: "Not yet, we just entered the city, don't you want to come and take a look? It's so lively outside."
Jamel Xiao waved his hand: “No, I’m not interested. I’m not as good-looking as you!”
He closed his eyes again and fell asleep in seconds.
Ye Tang smiled helplessly. Seeing that Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an were looking outside, he quickly kissed Xiao Jingxuan on the face, then looked out the window as if nothing had happened.
The corners of Jamel Xiao's mouth rose happily.
After looking at the streets outside, Ye Peng withdrew his gaze and asked, "Daughter, where are we going now?"
Ye Tang looked at him and said, "Of course we are going to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Dad, now that we are here, don't be nervous. That is your home."
Ye Peng stiffened his neck and said, "Who is nervous? I am just upset at the thought of seeing that stinky old man."
Although he said this, his clenched fists betrayed his current mood.
Seeing her father like this, Ye Tang said, "It's just past noon, it's still early, why don't we go for a walk in the capital and go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion slowly."
Just make it in time for dinner.
Ye Peng said decisively: "Let's go after dinner."
He immediately told Fang Jing.
Fang Jing was numb when he heard this. He had played on the road for so long and now he was in the capital. Did he want to play again?
But since the prince has said so, what can he do but obey!
"Prince, would you like me to send someone to inform the Duke first?" Fang Jing asked hesitantly.
The Duke doesn't know yet that the Crown Prince has come to the capital. The Crown Prince won't let him tell him, and it's unclear whether this is to give the Duke a surprise or a shock.
Ye Peng waved his hand: "No need."
Fang Jing had to give up the idea of sending someone to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion first.
