Chapter 308 Looking for a Wife
At dawn the next day, Yuanman and Hui Chengyuan set out for Beidong with their families in a team of three carriages.
Yuan Er sent the carriage to the city gate before returning. Qinglong stood on the city wall and watched the carriage go away.
Yuan Man lay leisurely in the carriage, playing with the three children, while Hui Chengyuan sat beside him and read the memorial.
This carriage had been modified by Yuanyue. Not only did it reduce the shaking, but it was also made wider and longer, so it could easily accommodate their entire family.
Nanny Xiao, Jinnan, Yanruo and Pei Qiu were sitting in the carriage at the back, and there was another carriage carrying supplies.
When passing by Fu'an City, Yuanman went to Qingshan Temple in Jialin Mountain.
Now Abbot Zhishang has passed away, and the current abbot is his disciple. He had seen her when Yuanman came that time.
Seeing that it was her, he quickly saluted and said, "I have never seen a saint before in my life."
Yuan Man smiled and raised his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, Abbot. I would like to go and pay my respects to the Abbot Zhiqi. Is that convenient?"
Abbot Pingsheng hesitated and said, "Master once said in his message that if a saint comes, we don't need to perform a ritual of worship to him, just light three incense sticks for him."
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Take me there."
Hui Chengyuan was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and came up with you. The one who came up with her was Yuanyi.
Seeing the spirit tablet of Abbot Zhishang, Yuan Man blinked, looked at Abbot Pingsheng and asked, "Is this also what Abbot Zhishang requested?"
Abbot Pingsheng nodded, "Yes."
Yuan Man lit a stick of incense and put it on. "Okay, if you like, I'll do as you wish. I hope we can meet again in the future."
As soon as she said this, everyone in the hall looked at her.
Yuan Yida said: "Master, it's better not to see him."
Yuanman smiled without saying anything, bowed to Abbot Pingsheng, and left.
After going down the mountain, we immediately set off to continue our journey.
It took them about a month to reach Beidong City.
After checking into the inn, Hui Chengyuan went to General Dong'an's Mansion without resting.
When Yang Qinglan heard the report that the prince had arrived, she was stunned for a moment, "Prince?"
"Yes."
"Let's go and take a look." Yang Qinglan got up and walked out of the study, heading towards the reception room in front.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw Hui Chengyuan standing with his hands behind his back.
Hui Chengyuan heard the footsteps and turned to look at Yang Qinglan who came in, "Uncle Yang, long time no see."
Yang Qinglan smiled and saluted, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown so big."
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
Hui Chengyuan sat down and gestured to Yang Qinglan, "Uncle Yang, please too."
After Yang Qinglan sat down, he asked, "Prince, what is the matter with you?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "I will not waste any more words. I wonder if Uncle Yang still remembers the Third Master An?"
"Your Highness, are you talking about An Yechen?" Yang Qinglan looked at him and asked.
Hui Chengyuan didn't know the name of this Third Young Master An. After all, when he investigated, he only knew that An Xianhe was the son of An Xianqin, and An Xianming only had two sons.
"Who is he and what is his relationship with the An family?"
Yang Qinglan sighed and said, "At first, I didn't know his identity. I only knew his last name was An, and my son Yang Qingsong called him the Third Young Master An."
"It was only after he wanted to become my disciple that I learned some things about him."
"He is An Xianming's concubine's son. He is respected because he looks like An Xianhe. However, he is not respected. Instead, he is the An Xianhe in secret."
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have found out something, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask him."
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows who An Xianhe is."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "So, you accepted An Yechen as your disciple?"
Yang Qinglan shook her head, "No, I knew he had a purpose, so how could I accept him as my apprentice? But he learned a lot from Qingsong."
"He is extremely gifted. Even if Qingsong has not comprehended something, he can understand it at a glance."
"Unfortunately, God is jealous of his talent. He died in a fire last year."
Hui Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Dead?"
Yang Qinglan nodded, "For this reason, An Xianming came to make a scene and took away all his belongings."
"How did the fire start?" Hui Chengyuan looked at him.
Yang Qinglan shook her head. "When we arrived, the fire had already been put out, and we couldn't find the cause after our investigation."
Hui Chengyuan tapped the table and fell into deep thought.
Yang Qinglan looked at him, but didn't disturb him. Instead, she looked outside and immediately stood up when she saw the person coming in. "Why are you here?"
"You are not in good health, so don't go out and get exposed to the wind."
The person who came was none other than his wife, Feng. "I heard that the Crown Prince was coming. Why didn't I come out to see him?"
Hui Chengyuan came back to his senses and looked at the visitor, "Madam Yang, there is no need to be polite. Your health is important."
Feng bowed to him and said with a smile: "Disciple Feng greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The proper etiquette should be followed. It's a rare visit for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so please stay in the mansion and have a meal."
Hui Chengyuan stood up and said, "No need, the Crown Princess is waiting for this Crown Prince, so I won't bother her in the mansion."
Feng wanted to say something else, but Yang Qinglan stopped her, "Well, I will escort your Highness."
Hui Chengyuan nodded and walked out first.
Yang Qinglan patted Feng's hand and followed him out.
Feng looked at Hui Chengyuan's back, thought for a moment, called the maid and said, "Go and call all the young masters and young ladies over."
Hui Chengyuan returned to the inn and called Ling Feng, "Go find out where Yang Qingsong is and bring him here."
Ling Feng nodded and left.
Hui Chengyuan returned to the guest room, but found that his wife was gone. He looked at Aunt Xiao who was packing up not far away and asked, "Where's A-Man?"
Madam Xiao put down the things in her hands, bowed and said, "Madam took Master Yuanbao out to play. She said that since we are here, we should go and see the customs and practices of Beidong City."
Hui Chengyuan turned around and left the inn to find his wife.
Yuanman held Yuanbao's hand as they walked and looked around. If he saw something that interested him, he would go over, otherwise he would just take a quick look and walk away.
Yuanbao was being carried away by his mother, holding a candy man in one hand and a dried fruit in the other.
Jinnan followed with Yanbei holding his hand, and he had a lot of things in his hands.
"Brother, I want that." Yan Bei pointed to a bamboo weaving.
