The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun - Page 484
Linghu Chong was very interested.
Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.
The capital city had not changed much from the last time he came here. Linghu Chong found it quite novel and looked around.
Jiang Ning had not been to Chen Qingyuan's residence when he came to the capital last time, but he knew where it was. After asking a passerby for the address, he headed towards Chen Qingyuan's residence.
Chen Mansion.
Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, Linghu Chong exclaimed.
"The home of Prefect Chen is even more spacious than the home in Hanzhong Prefecture."
Jiang Ning went forward and knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and a servant opened the door and looked at Jiang Ning and the others with a puzzled look on his face.
"Who are you?"
"Please tell Minister Chen that Jiang Ning from the Huashan Sect is here to visit."
Jiang Ning smiled.
The servant looked puzzled: "Huashan Sect? Jiangning? What..."
Before he could finish his words, the servant's expression changed from confusion to shock.
"Are you Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
The servant quickly opened the door and invited Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong in.
"Master Jiang, please come in quickly. Our master told us last year that if Master Jiang comes, we should invite him into the mansion immediately. I forgot to do that just now. Please forgive me for any offense."
The servant was very respectful to Jiang Ning.
Chen Qingyuan had told them before that if a man named Jiang Ning came to visit one day, they must be respectful, more respectful than they would be to Chen Qingyuan himself. Now, after meeting Jiang Ning in person, the servants did not dare to be negligent at all.
"My master hasn't left yet. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Jiang. I will send someone to the Ministry of Revenue to tell my master."
The servant said as he welcomed Jiang Ning into the house.
"Thank you."
Jiang Ning nodded.
The servant was flattered. "No, no."
After receiving Jiang Ning into the lobby, the servant gave some instructions to the other servants and then went to the Ministry of Revenue in person.
Household Department.
Chen Qingyuan is handling the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Money, money, money. We all need money. How can the Ministry of Revenue give you so much money?"
Chen Qingyuan looked at the various expenditures sent by various departments. They were all asking for money. He had a gloomy face and did not approve any of them.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a noise outside.
"Master, master."
Chen Qingyuan looked at the servants in his house and was stunned, then he scolded them in a deep voice.
"What are you doing here?"
The servant said quickly, "Master, the Jiang Ning you mentioned last year has come to the capital and is now in the mansion. Master said that as long as he comes to the capital, no matter when, he must tell you first, so I am here just now."
"what?"
Chen Qingyuan sat up suddenly.
"he came?"
"Ah."
The boy nodded repeatedly.
Chen Qingyuan left his seat in a hurry and walked outside, saying to the servant at the same time.
"Go back now and tell Mr. Jiang to wait a moment. I will be back as soon as I finish the business at hand."
Before the servant could finish his words, Chen Qingyuan disappeared.
He wanted to go to the palace quickly.
Chapter 545: Goodbye Zhu Shou
Chen Mansion.
Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong are still waiting for Chen Qingyuan to come back.
"When will this Prefect Chen come back?"
Linghu Chong looked outside the lobby from time to time, feeling a little bored.
Jiang Ning reminded him, "Now he is no longer a prefect, but has been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Linghu Chong smiled and said, "I'm used to it."
While the two were waiting, a woman walked in from outside, followed by a maid.
"Mr. Jiang, are you really here?"
The woman who was leaving had her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stood up when he saw the woman and said with a smile, "Miss Chen, how are you?"
Chen Jin looked at Jiang Ning with surprise.
"Just now I heard from the people in the mansion that you, Mr. Jiang, have arrived in the capital and are in the mansion, so I hurried over, and it turned out to be true."
Jiang Ning smiled, did not answer, and looked at the maid behind Chen Jin.
"How are you doing now?"
This maid was exactly the girl who wanted to sell herself to bury her father that Jiang Ning met when he came to the capital last time.
The maid was also very excited when she saw Jiang Ning. She quickly said, "Thanks to the young master, I am now serving the young lady in the mansion. The young lady treats me very well."
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.
The conversation between the few people surprised Linghu Chong who was standing aside.
Why did he feel that Jiang Ning had quite a lot of acquaintances in Beijing?
"Who is this?"
Chen Jin looked at Linghu Chong standing beside him.
Linghu Chong had a strange expression on his face.
Because he had met Chen Jin before, and the other party had obviously forgotten him now.
Jiang Ning explained, "This is my senior brother Linghu Chong. My brother and I also met Miss Chen when we first came to your house."
Chen Jin apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Linghu, my memory is not good and I can't remember it for a while."
"Nothing, nothing."
Linghu Chong was magnanimous and waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
After all, the situation at that time was that Chen Jin was about to commit suicide, so it was normal that he didn't notice it.
Jiang Ning was also looking at Chen Jin at this time. From his observation, he felt that the other party should have walked out of Tian Boguang's shadow now.
This is a good thing.
"Mr. Jiang, how long do you plan to stay in the capital?"
Chen Jin looked at Jiang Ning hopefully, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
"We should be leaving in two days."
Jiang Ning did not plan to stay any longer. He would return to Huashan in a few days to tell Yue Buqun everything that happened at the Black Wood Cliff and what he talked about with Master Dingxian, so that Yue Buqun could be prepared.
Chen Jin was a little disappointed.
"Can't you stay a few more days?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "There are still many things to do inside the sect, so I can't stay for long."
Chen Jin was disappointed. He talked with Jiang Ning for a while and then left.
"Junior brother, junior brother."
After Chen Jin left, Linghu Chong came to Jiang Ning with a mysterious look on his face.
"This Miss Chen should have feelings for you, right?"
Jiang Ning turned and looked at him in surprise.
"Why do you say that, Senior Brother?"
Linghu Chong smiled in a way that everyone could understand: "The expression on Miss Chen's face just now was so obvious. I saw it clearly. And the maid behind her, although she didn't say anything, her eyes were always on you. Isn't this because she likes you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, big brother."
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head, without saying anything else, turned around, sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
"Why did I talk nonsense?"
Seeing him like this, Linghu Chong wanted to continue speaking, but when he recalled what Yue Buqun had said to him that time, Linghu Chong suddenly fell silent.
Linghu Chong became much calmer, and Jiang Ning also enjoyed the peace and quiet.
How could he not understand what Linghu Chong just said?
It's just that his heart is not here.
About half an hour later, the servant who went to the Ministry of Revenue to report to Chen Qingyuan came back, but Chen Qingyuan had not come back. The servant said that Chen Qingyuan was still dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and could not leave, but would be back soon.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry and continued to wait. After a while, he saw Chen Qingyuan hurried over.
"Master Jiang, Young Master Linghu, I've been waiting for a long time."
