After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

He Zheng has always had a laissez-faire policy towards his daughters and does not interfere with their daily discipline. His daughters have always been very respectful of him, but not close to him.

But after all, he grew up under my eyes and called me daddy for so many years. Now, facing this scene, I actually felt a little sad about parting.

He rarely spoke

"When you arrive in the capital, you must listen to your elders and remember to write back often so that your mother and grandmother won't worry about you."

He Ruozhu looked at him flattered. This was the first time in all these years that his father spoke to him in such a gentle tone.

Her eyes turned red and she hummed softly.

Lu Wenchuan put his arm around He Ruozhu's shoulders and said in a deep voice

"Please rest assured, father-in-law. I will definitely treat Ruozhu well and will never let her suffer any injustice."

He Zheng just nodded without saying anything.

Mrs. He wiped her tears

"Don't cry, we will go to the capital when Ruozhu gets married, and we will have a chance to see each other again then."

He Zheng glanced at the sky and said

"It's getting late. If you don't have anything else to tell them, let them set off early, otherwise they might not make it to the post station."

He Zhao walked up to Jiang Sheng after hearing this.

"Shengsheng, I guess we won't see each other for a long time after this separation."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and smiled

"With Second Master's talent for business, it's only a matter of time before his business reaches the capital."

He Zhao bowed and said

"He is unfamiliar with the capital. If he really goes to the capital, he will probably need more care from Divine Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Sheng waved his hand and said with great pride:

"Of course. You have always taken care of me in the past. You should at least give me a chance to take care of you."

"Then I will rely on Dr. Jiang for my future."

"It's easy to talk about."

After a few more words, everyone got on the carriage.

Jiang Sheng said goodbye to everyone in the He family one by one. He Ruolan cried and said

"Be sure to write to me when you get back."

Jiang Sheng wiped her tears

"You're already a mother, but you're still so fond of crying. When Ruozhu and Wenchuan get married, you must come, and let me play the role of a good host."

"it is good."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Nie Wushuang and then got on the carriage.

Nie Wushuang carried Lu Ming's ashes and got on the carriage, whispering softly:

"Lu Ming, we're going home."

The carriage drove out slowly. Looking at the convoy going further and further away, He Zhao did not speak for a long time.

Mrs. He suddenly said with a broken heart

"Even if you can see the flowers, you can't come back. If you have the ability of Ruozhu, maybe you can go to the capital with us now."

He Zhao smiled bitterly and did not refute his mother, but just murmured in disappointment.

"There are always things in this world that you can't accomplish no matter how hard you try."

Moreover, friendship is destined to last longer than love. He just changed his identity and stayed with Shengsheng.

That's good too.

He Zheng patted his shoulder gently.

He Zhao just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Sheng and his companions returned to the capital this time with the He family as their escort. The carriage was fully stocked with supplies and food. Every day, apart from eating, they just sat in the carriage and traveled. Even Lu Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister-in-law, you said that when we came here, we were so pitiful. Not only did we lack food and clothing, but we also had to walk. Now when I think back, I don't know how we managed to survive back then."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Times have changed, and the mindset has changed, so naturally the way we look at things has also changed."

Now even if they were asked to go down and take a walk, they probably wouldn't feel tired but would find it interesting instead.

Last time they were in a hurry on the road, they didn't even take a look at the scenery along the way. Now that they have the chance, they will naturally take a good look at it.

It took more than a month of stopping and starting like this before I returned to the capital.

The weather was very good when we arrived in the capital, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.

As soon as they entered the city, they were recognized by the people in the city.

Many people shouted

"General Zhenguo is back!"

"The Lu family is back!"

"Dongchen's pillar of defense is back!"

Returning to the capital again, the Lu family was quite moved to see the city as bustling as before.

Ye Rong said softly

“This place hasn’t changed.”

"Just as we left it."

"Although the scenery remains the same, we are no longer the same as before." "Things have changed, people have changed, but it is still the same."

The troops of Jingjiwei had already taken over when they entered the city, and they escorted the Lu family all the way back to the General's Mansion.

The leader of the

"His Royal Highness has ordered all the palace inside and outside to be repaired, and he has also added many things. You can go in and take a look. If there is anything missing, please let us know, and His Royal Highness will arrange it as soon as possible."

Lu Zhenghe waved his hand

"This is the best that can be done. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

The commander didn't say much, just bowed and left.

When everyone from the Lu family entered the mansion, Ye Rong saw that everything was the same as before. Her eyes instantly turned red and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Everything in the mansion was the same as before, as if they had never left, but those who left could never come back.

Qin Shu gently took Ye Rong's arm

"Mom, let's go in."

Ye Rong nodded and said in a deep voice

"Let's go home."

Lu Zhenghe took Lu Ming, Lu Xuan, and Lu Wenchuan to the ancestral hall first and placed the large tablet of the Lu family heroes back in the hall.

After the spirit tablet was returned to its place, Lu Zhenghe and Ye Rong stood side by side and led the younger generations to kneel down.

"The unfilial descendant Lu Zhenghe leads the descendants of the Lu family to respectfully welcome the ancestors back to their thrones."

After saying this, he kowtowed three times, and the people behind him followed suit.

After standing up, Lu Xuan took a square wooden box from the servant's hand, and walked up to Lu Zhenghe with the box in his hand.

Lu Zhenghe's gaze stayed on the wooden box for a moment, and he took out the contents with trembling hands.

Those were two tablets, those of Lu Lin and Lu Wenzhou.

Lu Zhenghe wiped the tablet again and again with a loving look, and then placed the tablets for the two of them.

Qin Shu looked at the tablets of her husband and son and couldn't help crying. Everyone in the room suddenly had red eyes.

Jiang Sheng comforted her with tears in her eyes, and it took a long time for Qin Shu to calm down.

After all this was done, everyone left the ancestral hall.

Ye Rong looked at everyone and said

"You must be tired after all the hard work. Go back to your own yards and rest."

"Yes, grandmother."

"Yes, mother."

Lu Zhiqing happily brought Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu back to her own yard.

Jiang Sheng accompanied Qin Shu back to her yard.

Tan Shu said softly

"Sheng'er, you can go back and rest. I have nothing to do."

"Mother, I have nothing to do at home, so I'll stay here with you and we can have a good chat."

Qin Shu patted her hands gently

"My child...I'm really fine. It's been so long. Although I'm still sad, I'm gradually getting over it.

Now, mother will just treat them as the two of them guarding the border. Your grandparents are still alive, and mother will still be filial to your father."

Jiang Sheng was completely relieved to see that Qin Shu was indeed in a stable mood. He talked to her for a while before returning to the room.

Jiang Sheng returned to her former bridal chamber. When she sat on the bed, she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of the words she had just used to comfort her mother.

It is said that a doctor cannot treat himself. I just talked with A Niang and she talked very well about it, but when it comes to myself, looking at everything in front of me, I can't be as relieved as A Niang.

Nanzhu looked at Jiang Sheng sitting on the bed in a daze, so he walked over and said

"Miss, it's getting late. Would you like to go to bed early? You still have to accompany the mistress to buy servants tomorrow."

Jiang Sheng shook his head

"I understand, Nanzhu, I'm not sleepy yet, you all go out, I want to be alone for a while."

Jiang Sheng looked at the scene and objects in front of him, sitting there quietly, without saying anything for a long time.

next day

Not long after everyone had finished breakfast, Qiu Wu, the Crown Prince's personal attendant, arrived.

He also brought a lot of people with him, all of whom were old men who used to work in the General's Mansion. When they left, Ye Rong took the initiative to return their indentures. He thought they had all gone home, but he didn't expect that they all came back today.

The mother-in-law who used to serve Ye Rong knelt down in front of her crying.

"Madam, I have finally waited for you to come back."

Ye Rong choked up and looked at these old people

"You are already free, why...why do you have to do this?"

Old woman's way

"Without the Lu family, we wouldn't be where we are today. Now that the old lady is back, we will naturally return to serve you."

Qin Shu's nanny also came up to her with tears in her eyes and said distressedly

"Ma'am, you are suffering."

Qin Shu hugged the old woman and burst into tears.

"Mammy...Mammy..."

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng knew that there was no need to go out shopping today.

Qiuwu Road

"These are all old people from the General's Mansion. After they were sold indentures, they were taken away by people from the Li, Zhao, and Qin families. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been entrusted by each family to send them back."

Lu Xuan bowed and said

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Master Lu, you are too polite. In addition to them, there is actually another person today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered me to escort him to the Lu family."

"who?"

Lu Zhenghe followed Qiu Wu's gaze and saw a tall and strong servant pushing a masked young man slowly towards them.

"Master Zhiyu?"

Zhiyu coughed a few times

"General Lu, excuse me for interrupting you."

Qiu Wu whispered beside him

"Old General, Mr. Zhiyu has made great contributions to the General's Mansion and the Lu Family Army. He is in poor health, and because he helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne, he made many enemies. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants Mr. Zhiyu to stay here temporarily."

Yi Yang also bowed and said

"I'm sorry to bother General Lu these days."

Lu Zhenghe smiled

"No trouble... No trouble... To be honest, we in the General's Mansion should thank Mr. Zhiyu."

Jiang Sheng frowned as she looked at Zhiyu, who was already wearing a thick fox fur coat even before midwinter. She stepped forward and said,

"I haven't seen you for a few months. How come Mr. Zhiyu's health is getting worse?"

Zhiyu said with a relaxed smile on her face that she had never seen before.

"It's like this in winter, don't worry, Doctor Jiang."

Ye Rong said softly

"Sheng'er, you have good medical skills. Please let Mr. Zhiyu take a look when you are free later."

Jiang Sheng nodded

"I have time right now. Yiyang, bring Mr. Zhiyu over here. Yingqiu, Nanzhu, go light up the charcoal fire in the front hall."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, Dr. Jiang."

When they arrived at the front hall, the charcoal fire had just been lit. The weather outside was still good and not too cold, so just lighting the charcoal fire in the house could immediately make people feel warm.

"I feel better now, sir."

Zhiyu coughed a few times and nodded.

"Much better, thank you Dr. Jiang."

Jiang Sheng checked Zhiyu's pulse, then frowned and said

"Your pulse is still as normal as before, but I can tell from your appearance that you've been through a lot in the past few months. I managed to get you better in Bianjiang City, but now it's probably all in vain.

If this continues, let alone five years, even three years will be a big hurdle.”

Zhiyu just smiled indifferently, not caring at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Then Divine Doctor Jiang will have to work hard in the future."

Jiang Sheng looked at the person who didn't care about his life or death at all, and suddenly he felt angry.

As a doctor, what she hates most is people who don't take their own lives seriously.

"If you don't care about your own health, then don't waste my herbs."

Zhiyu saw that she seemed a little angry, so he compromised and said

"Okay... okay... okay... I will follow the doctor's advice in the future. I hope Dr. Jiang will not hold it against me."

After acupuncture for Zhiyu, Jiang Sheng said softly

"I'll go back and make you some medicine later. I'll have Yingqiu bring it to you when it's ready. Just take it on time."

When he was about to leave after the treatment, Jiang Sheng suddenly whispered

"Thank you for the Lu family matter."

After speaking, he left.

Zhiyu lowered his head and smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Jiang Sheng had just come out of the front hall when he saw Er Yang coming back from outside.

"Er Yang, you're back too!"

Er Yang smiled and bowed

"The matter has been resolved. I will come back of course."

The young master is no longer here, so of course he has to protect the young lady for the young master.

In the afternoon, Jiang Sheng prepared some things to visit Liu's family, but he did not see his grandfather and uncle.

"Aunt, are grandpa and his family on duty?"

Sun Hongyue sighed and said

"Your Majesty is not in good health and needs someone by his side. Since your grandfather and uncle returned to the capital, they have been running to the palace every day. Sometimes, if His Majesty is not in good condition, the two of them will stay in the palace and take care of His Majesty. Look, they haven't been back for several days."

Sun Hongyue said worriedly

"You see, these two people who can take charge are not at home, and you still want to settle your brother's marriage as soon as possible... Alas... Fortunately, the Ruan family is not picky about these things. If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely be unhappy."

It's been so long since I returned to Beijing. If I had been more reliable, the marriage would have been arranged long ago.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said

"I think it would be better if my aunt prepared everything at home, and they can come back to make the final decision when they are free, which would save them the trouble of wasting their time.

It is better to arrange this marriage as soon as possible. If something happens to your Majesty, it will be a national mourning and you will not be allowed to marry for three years."
