Chapter 119 Return
Yu Fengyang felt that since Chu Tianze and Murong Xuan already had someone, he also needed to consider the major events of his life. The master of Changning County was not bad, and the person she was close to must be right.
So he looked at Bai Chuxiao and smiled softly, "Princess, do you have any sisters or friends? Why don't you introduce them to me?"
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "I have two younger sisters in my house, are you sure?"
Bai Chuxiao was very satisfied with his trust, but unfortunately, in her early years, she often disguised herself as a man and wandered around the military camp or outside, so she really didn't have many girlfriends.
Yu Fengyang laughed twice and said, "Forget about the Bai family."
He really couldn't "reach up" to the style of the other members of the Bai family except Bai Chuxiao...
"Sir, the eldest son of the Fan family wants to see you," a servant hurried forward to report.
Yu Fengyang raised his eyebrows, "Why would he come? Go and invite him."
Bai Chuxiao was also a little curious. As the head of an aristocratic family, the Fan family had always been quite mysterious and not very active in front of people. She had never seen this Master Fan after coming back for so long.
When Fan Ziming came in, he was also a little surprised. He clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Greetings, Prince, Princess."
Chu Tianze nodded calmly. He didn't have much contact with people from aristocratic families.
Fan Ziming bowed and smiled again, "Brother Yu, Second Young Master Murong is polite."
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows. Fan Ziming was indeed a good-looking man. He looked handsome in his ordinary white clothes. Most importantly, he behaved in a proper manner...
Yu Fengyang and Murong Xuan both nodded slightly in return. Murong Xuan was a little surprised that this Master Fan recognized him.
"Ziming just came back from traveling. I heard that Brother Yu was promoted to an official position, so I came here to celebrate. I didn't know that you, Your Highness, were also taking the liberty of coming here. I hope you won't mind," Fan Ziming said with a smile.
Chu Tianze said calmly, "It's okay, Master Fan is in a good mood, I wonder where he went."
Fan Ziming spoke slowly, "What a coincidence, Ziming just returned from the northwest."
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Oh? That's a coincidence."
Yu Fengyang's new residence was not very big. The size of the residence of a fourth-rank official was required, so it naturally could not be too luxurious. The most important thing was that Yu Fengyang did not have much money after leaving the Yu family. He mostly helped Chu Tianze manage the business, and most of the money was spent on the Xuanjia Army. Even Chu Tianze was not rich, let alone him.
The few of them were chatting happily in the flower hall. Chu Tianze narrowed his eyes slightly. Most of his subordinates were only good at fighting, and he lacked other talents. Fan Ziming had some talent for governing the country... It would be good if he could use him for his own benefit. However, the Fan family was much stronger than other families, and Fan Ziming might not give up the Fan family as a strong backer...
Bai Chuxiao blinked at Chu Tianze, who looked puzzled, and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. She felt that Fan Ziming came here on purpose... But there was no rush.
After Xie's death, the Bai Mansion became much quieter than before. Even Bai Haoyun seemed to have changed his personality and stopped making trouble. He mostly stayed in his own yard to study. However, Bai Linan became somewhat elusive and was often not at home.
But as long as they didn't come to provoke her, Bai Chuxiao wouldn't take the initiative to deal with them. She would either stay in the Liuli Courtyard and prepare wedding items, or go out shopping. It was a rare and leisurely day...
In a blink of an eye, it was September 16th.
Bai Chuxiao and Chu Tianze stood side by side outside the city gate, waiting for something
"You don't have to come," Bai Chuxiao looked at the man beside her and smiled helplessly.
Today was the day when her grandfather and his family returned to the capital. Originally, she and her second uncle were going to come together to welcome them, but Chu Tianze insisted on coming with her, saying that he was also her grandfather. Her second uncle thought that if the Prince of Yan was also there, it would be a bit too conspicuous to have so many people, so he simply stayed in the mansion to clean up the house and did not come.
Chu Tianze shook her hand and said calmly, "How can that be possible?"
After a while, an ancient and elegant carriage slowly drove over. Bai Chuxiao smiled and hurriedly approached Chu Tianze.
A young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes jumped out of the carriage first. He nodded slightly to Chu Tianze and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Sister Xiao."
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Third brother"
Then the curtain was opened, and a steady young man helped a rather imposing old man down from the carriage.
Bai Chuxiao quickly stepped forward, took his hand and said with a smile, "Grandfather, you have worked hard on the journey."
Murong Yuan nodded with a kind smile, then bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
Chu Tianze helped him up and said with a smile, "Grandfather, elder brother, and third brother, you have worked hard along the way. We are all family, so there is no need to be polite."
When Murong Che and Murong Shuo heard this address, strange looks appeared on their faces. Was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan a little too familiar?
Murong Yuan spoke slowly, "Your Highness Prince Yan, etiquette cannot be abolished. I know you love Xiaoxiao, but you don't have to follow Xiao's generation."
Chu Tianze nodded with a smile, "General Murong is right."
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Grandfather, let's go back first. My second uncle and the others are waiting at home."
Murong Yuan nodded, "Okay," and then got back on the carriage, while Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao rode in front of the carriage.
Murong Cheng and his men had been waiting outside the mansion long ago. Bai Chuxiao helped Murong Yuan get off the carriage.
"Father"
Murong Yuan nodded. Although he had traveled a long way, his face did not show any sign of fatigue. He had indeed not been back for many years, but when he returned, everything had changed...
"Your Highness Prince of Yan, please come first!" Towards Chu Tianze, Murong Yuan always had a friendly smile but at the same time, his expression was somewhat respectful.
Chu Tianze managed to put on a gentle smile, "General Murong, you are too polite."
The group entered the front hall. Murong Yuan sat at the head of the table. Seeing how Xiao Yatou and King Yan were getting along so well, he nodded with great satisfaction. This made him feel relieved.
"Che'er!" Murong Yuan called out in a deep voice.
Murong Che nodded and walked out, and soon came back with two boxes in his arms.
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow, "Grandfather, what is this?"
Murong Yuan smiled and said, "Grandfather has prepared a gift for you and His Royal Highness Prince Yan, why don't you open it and take a look?"
Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao both curiously opened the boxes in front of them. Both boxes contained swords, one for men and one for women. Both swords looked quite old, but their quality and workmanship were top-notch.
Murong Cheng looked at the two swords with surprise while looking at Murong Yuan at the top. These young people might not know the origin of these two swords, but he did know... why were they in his father's hands?
Murong Che and Murong Shuo stared at the two swords with amazement in their eyes. They didn't know what was in the box before. Their grandfather didn't tell them. They didn't expect it to be such a good sword. Murong Xuan also came over curiously.
Chu Tianze looked at the patterns on the sword in front of him, pondered for a moment, and slowly asked, "Is this Wentian?"
