After the system ran, I took off with my family

The main reason I went out of the city today was to go to the pawnshop to ask if there were any restaurants or larger shops for sale on Nanjin Street and Dongxiang Street.

There are three famous dental clinics in the outer city. I visited each of them, but the results were not satisfactory. They were either small shops or restaurants in bad locations.

Before going out to work, Qingsheng quietly stuffed some silver money into the broker, asking him to help keep an eye out for news from the restaurant. The three brokers took the silver money with a smile and said they would do their best.

Lin Shuyue was a little depressed about this. The restaurants and shops with good locations had already been reserved by well-informed wealthy families or dignitaries. People like them who had no power or influence in the capital had to pay money to ask others to help keep an eye on them. Even if they received the money, they might not do their best.

"Forget it. There's no need to rush this matter. Let's take our time." Lin Shuyue said to Qinghe and the other two in a somewhat dejected manner.

Seeing that her young lady was a little depressed, Qinghe suggested going to Yanguiju to relax.

Yanguiju is the property of Princess Pingyang's Mansion. It is located in the west of the outer city and covers a large area. Not only can people eat and make tea there, but they can also go boating, enjoy the flowers, race horses, etc. The most special thing is that there is a Zhaixing Tower in the garden.

It is said that there was no distinction between inner and outer cities in the previous dynasty. The current inner city is the capital of the previous dynasty, while the outer city was still a wasteland at that time.

The place where the geese return to their home town used to be a lake. The lake was covered with reeds and many wild geese lingered there.

As the population of the capital city grew and became increasingly crowded, the emperor of the previous dynasty spent a huge amount of money to enclose a large area of ​​wasteland surrounding the capital city and turn it into an outer city.

The land where the lake was located was awarded to the then king's uncle, who built a private garden and named it Yangui Garden.

Later, due to various reasons, the previous dynasty collapsed and the Zhou Dynasty was established. The garden was then given by the founding emperor to his most beloved daughter.

Later, the garden was given by the late emperor to his eldest daughter, now Princess Pingyang.

When she was young, Princess Pingyang was innocent, romantic, extremely intelligent, and loved to look at the sun, moon, and stars. When Princess Pingyang was 15 years old and came of age, the late emperor ignored the advice of court officials and ordered people to build the Zhaixing Tower in Yangui Garden.

The Zhaixing Tower is eighteen stories high. In this era when various technologies and techniques are backward, such a tall building is an astonishing masterpiece.

Later, after Princess Pingyang married the youngest son of the former chief academic officer of the Imperial College, she changed the name of Yangui Garden to Yanguiju, and added a horse farm and a Cuju field, and began to open to the public.

It was still early, and Lin Shuyue was curious about Yanguiju, so she asked Qingsheng to turn the car around and head west of the city.

I had just returned to the main street when I suddenly heard a loud cry behind me. People on the street hid to both sides in fear, and then the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Jinyiwei is doing business, get out of the way!"

"Step aside!"

Qingsheng subconsciously whipped the carriage to the side, and a moment later he saw twenty murderous Jinyiwei riding on big horses and wearing black flying fish uniforms running from behind.

When passing by Lin Shuyue's carriage, the leading Jinyiwei turned his head and saw Qingsheng sitting on the carriage frame and the closed door. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly turned his head back, as if it was just a casual glance.

After the Jinyiweis left, Qing Sheng whispered to Lin Shuyue in the carriage, "Miss, the Jinyiwei who led the team just now was Lord Wei Linwei who was beside Lord Ye."

Lin Shuyue nodded: "Well, they went to the west of the city?"

Qing Sheng looked in the direction they left: "It looks like they are going to the west of the city, but I don't know what happened there."

Normal cases in the capital are handled by people from the Dali Temple. Anything that would cause the Jinyiwei to be dispatched must be no small matter, either involving the royal family or being a major matter that is unspeakable and could easily cost you your life.

"Miss, are we still going?"

Qingzhi asked as she lifted the curtain to listen to the gossip of the frightened passers-by on the street.

"Go ahead, they may not be going to Yanguiju." Lin Shuyue signaled Qingsheng to continue driving.

This time she guessed wrong. Wei Lin took his men to Yanguiju.

Before reaching the gate of Yanguiju, Qingsheng saw two Jinyiwei with serious faces guarding the gate of Yanguiju. Not far from the gate, a group of people gathered to watch the fun.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Lin Shuyue got off the carriage and led them towards the crowd. She didn't say anything, but just pricked up her ears to listen to what others were saying.

After listening for about a quarter of an hour, I still didn't understand what happened in Yanguiju. It should be that the Jinyiwei arrived in time and blocked the news, so people outside were not aware of the situation inside.

I heard that a dozen polo matches were held at the Yanguiju Racecourse today. Many high-ranking officials and noble men and women came. They usually seldom play on the field themselves, but they like to place bets and buy on the team they like.

However, what the people at the door were talking about with great interest was that they heard that Zhao Xu, the eldest grandson of Marquis Anxin, and Sikong Qi, the youngest son of Marquis Xuande, would personally participate in today's match.

If it was the fate of a son of an ordinary powerful family, not so many people would pay attention to it. The interesting thing is that these two families are the uncles of the prince.

The Shufei in the palace was from the Anxin Marquis Mansion, and Zhao Xu was the legitimate son of the Shufei's eldest brother from her natal family. He called her aunt and was also the second prince's cousin.

As for Sikong Qi, he is the late son of the Duke of Yingguo, the youngest son born to the wife of Marquis Xuande at the age of 35. He is also the younger brother of the Empress in the palace and the brother-in-law of the current emperor.

One is the second prince's cousin, and the other is the crown prince's uncle. Perhaps they are born with incompatible temperaments, and they will fight whenever they meet.

Lin Shuyue glanced at the Jinyiwei at the gate of Yanguiju, left the crowd and returned to the carriage.

"Miss, it looks like you can't go in."

Qinghe felt a little regretful. She had originally wanted to take the young lady to Yanguiju to eat some delicious food, appreciate the flowers and relax, but something happened at Yanguiju.

Lin Shuyue was no longer bored at this moment. Seeing Qinghe and Qingzhi pouting, she said with a smile, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"By the way, I heard that there is a dim sum shop next to Yan Gui Ju that sells delicious lotus pastry. You two can go across the street and buy some for me."

Qing He and Qing Zhi were happy to see their young lady smiling and not looking unhappy, and said happily, "Young lady, we will go right away."

"Qingsheng, come with me. I'll be waiting for you in the carriage."

There are too many people here, and she is a little worried about the two little girls.

After the three people left, Lin Shuyue leaned against the carriage and listened to the conversation of the group of people in front.

Something like the Concubine Shu is favored, the Second Prince is very popular with the Emperor, the Empress is sick again, the young Prince is very filial and asked to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for the Empress, etc.

Everyone spoke with great interest, and it was unclear whether what they said was true or false.

However, she was a little confused. The prince was young and the crown prince. How could the emperor be at ease leaving him alone outside?

"Little...little girl?"

A hoarse voice with surprise and disbelief sounded from the front, interrupting her thoughts.
