While Chongzhen was excited, a team of fifty guardsmen from Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, set off from the post station and headed for the Qian family's residence.

Yushan Qian Family.

As one of the leading figures in Donglin in the south, the Qian family's house is naturally grand and continuous in scale.

At least half of the village were tenants of the Qian family. At this time, Qian Qianyi was waiting anxiously in the house.

"Mu Zhai, why are you in such a hurry? Since His Majesty has sent the Jin Yiwei to convey the order in person, it means that the probability of you being used is very high.

Isn't this great? You have been working hard just to return to the palace, but now His Majesty personally delivers the decree, and you still can't sit still."

The person who advised Qian Qianyi was Qian Qianyi's staff member Chen Zaizhu, who comforted Qian Qianyi with a smile.

He is short and fat, with a square face, a big mouth, small eyes and light eyebrows.

Always put on a cheerful face.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he has a straightforward temperament and no ambitions. Only a few people such as Qian Qianyi know that this man is actually profound, shrewd and capable, but does not reveal it.

He is the brother of Qian Qianyi's wife, Chen. He has handled several extremely difficult matters for Qian Qianyi, so Qian Qianyi has always relied heavily on his uncle-in-law.

Qian Qianyi's servant set the table. Two Yixing sand pots, filled with newly replaced tips and mustard flakes, and three extremely fine kiln cups were arranged in the shape of a "pin" on the table;

There were stacks filled with dumplings, siomai, stuffed cakes, lentil cakes, orange cakes, leek boxes, spring rolls and other snacks.

But at this moment Qian Qianyi had no appetite at all.

"Brother Zhu, it's not that I'm worried, it's actually that this matter reveals an evil nature. I haven't even started to operate yet. Why did Jin Yiwei suddenly come with a decree?"

"Yang Sichang is now trapped in Xiangyang, and is overwhelmed by Li Zicheng. It's not like you don't know what kind of trash those people in the court are.

Even Sun Chuanting has been activated, which means that His Majesty has no one available, so it is natural for you to go up."

Chen Zaizhu said softly that his opinion was that since Chongzhen wanted to pass on the decree, it was definitely impossible to send people all the way to raid the house.

It's not a bad thing, it can only be a good thing.

"I know too, but I still feel uneasy."

"Are you thinking about Miss Liu who hasn't met you yet?"

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he reacted instantly as if he was struck by lightning.

“As I get older, I can’t even figure out what I’m thinking.

Indeed, I have expressed my feelings to Miss Liu, but now I suddenly want to go to the capital, what should I do?"

"It depends on you whether you want to join the imperial court or marry a beauty. Your Majesty will definitely not let a person who has been controversial before the summons enter the capital."

Listening to Chen Zaizhu's words, Qian Qianyi felt his heart beat.

From the first time he met Liu Rushi, he had fallen deeply in love with this woman, and Liu Rushi also fell under his literary talent.

There seemed to be endless topics to talk about between the two of them, and this was his only comfort in the two years since he was demoted to his hometown.

As for home?

He is sixty-one years old this year. He had given birth to three sons in his early years, but he could not raise them. It was only when he was forty-eight that Zhu gave birth to such a son for him.

This son has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and has a timid temperament. He does not look like a "Ke Shao Ji Qiu" character at all.

So all the bad things were brought out in Liu Rushi.

This was also the reason why he decided to brave the disapproval of the world and marry Liu Rushi.

Because he could feel that he had no chance to become an official in the court, so wouldn't it be best to marry a good man and end his life?

But the matter took a turn for the better today.

"That's all, just take it one step at a time. In the worst case, take Miss Liu with you and arrive in Beijing with me."

"No, if you take Miss Liu with you, not to mention what His Majesty thinks, your behavior alone is enough to become a public enemy in the court."

Chen Zaizhu said mercilessly that Qian Qianyi himself knew this, but he was unwilling to face the reality.

"Li Bao."

"Master, what's wrong?"

Qian Libao, an old servant waiting outside the door, came in and asked.

"Go to Miss Liu and send her a post saying that the master has invited her to meet on the boat tomorrow and let her know if anything happens."

"I understand, sir."

After receiving the order, Li Bao went downstairs and walked through the corridor with Qian Qianyi's seal. When he opened the door and was about to go out, he bumped into Qian Sheng who was rushing back.

"Are they coming?"

"Come on, come on. I took a small road back. I started out in the morning. I should still have four or five miles to go by now."

After Li Bao walked two miles, he saw a group of Jinyi guards wearing flying fish uniforms walking in the direction of Qian's house.

I'm going to take a day off today and make it shorter. Just one chapter.
