Chapter 429 (1/2)
Xiao Ruixuan and his party finally arrived at the north gate of the city at the beginning of the afternoon (more than 11 a.m.).
It took about half an hour to see a few inconspicuous black painted coaches coming from afar. At first glance, they looked like the family members of a merchant's family in Beijing.
The driver of the first carriage was the Nighthawk.
As soon as he saw Xiao Ruixuan waiting in the pavilion, he pulled the reins and let the carriage stop outside the pavilion.
Just as he was about to jump out of the carriage to salute Xiao Ruixuan, Xiao Ruixuan stepped forward and said in a low voice, ”it's not the time to salute. You come with me in the carriage.”
With that, Xiao Ruixuan turned over and took them to a humble farmhouse outside the city.
The door of the farmhouse was wide open, so they parked their cars and horses in the courtyard of the farmhouse.
Hearing the movement in the yard, the uncle, who had been waiting here for a long time, came out of the hut.
Xiao Ruixuan throws his whip to his uncle. He turns around and asks the Nighthawk, ”where's the master?”
Outside, they didn't dare to call Xiao RUIZHAO the prince or his highness, but they did
Use ”Ye” instead.
The Nighthawk quietly lifted the plywood curtain behind him, and Xiao RUIZHAO's sick face appeared in front of Xiao Ruixuan.
”I hear you have a new pair of children?” Xiao RUIZHAO, sitting in the carriage, said with a smile as soon as he saw Xiao Ruixuan.
Xiao Ruixuan smiles modestly. Before he rode back to the west mountain, he naturally said hello to Prince Xiao RUIZHAO.
He reached out to help the prince Xiao RUIZHAO out of the car, and they entered the thatched cottage one after the other.
Although the cottage looks very simple, it is very tidy in the house, but there is a half person high trunk in the main room, which is very abrupt.
Xiao RUIZHAO couldn't help looking at the suitcase.
Xiao Ruixuan took the opportunity to tell him his plan.
At first, people thought that the prince would feel aggrieved and disagree, but they didn't want to hear Xiao RUIZHAO say: ”if you want to enter the palace quietly, it's a way!”
When they heard this, they were all relieved. Uncle Cai took advantage of the heat to fight on the railway: ”I'm afraid that it's going to leak out. I think it's better to hit the sun than to go to the palace today?”
Everyone thought that the uncle had a point, so after lunch, Xiao RUIZHAO hid himself in the trunk and was escorted by Xiao Ruixuan
Take it to the palace.
Because Xiao Ruixuan was doing the silk business in the palace through the house of internal affairs, it was not strange for the guards to see him escorting a box of clothes into the palace.
”Shiziye, what kind of treasure did you find to pay tribute?” The gatekeepers have already known Xiao Ruixuan, and every time Xiao Ruixuan escorts silk into the palace, he will reward these gatekeepers along the way, so they all respect Xiao Ruixuan as if they were the God of wealth.
”It's the new flower pattern in Jiangnan this year.” Xiao Ruixuan signaled the Nighthawk to stop for a while, intending to open the box for inspection.
Looking at the complete seal on the suitcase, the general waved his hand and said with a smile, ”there's nothing you can't rest assured about Then he raised his hand and let it go.
