Not many days after He Yan's incident, the weather began to cool down slowly. It was a month before the New Year was coming. The old lady of the Shao family finally began to prepare to go to the capital. Although she did not bring a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver this time, she still brought a lot of southern specialties to Shao Suru. They were all used to using them, and just eating and drinking local products were loaded with a large cart.

When Mrs. Shao left Nanjing, she "stumbled" met Wu Mian, who was also going to the capital, Gui Bugui and "Xu Fu". Through all the incidents over the days, the woman had already guessed who the white-haired man was. However, she did not say it out loud, but she was much humble to Wu Mian's attitude.

At this moment, the two teams of carriages formed a team and set out towards the capital in a mighty manner. The officials of the prefecture and county who passed by along the way knew that the old boss of Sishui and the relatives of Prince Yi Yunxiang were both very attentive to receive them. Ordinary second-rank officials could not enjoy such a reception.

The convoy drove for more than twenty days and finally arrived at the capital. After Yunxiang found out, he went out of the city to pick him up for ten miles. It was enough to give Wu Mian the face of Gui Bugui.

After returning to the capital, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui and his party did not move to the silver house. They lived in the mansion of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan. They had previously built the third shop in the capital of Sishui, which specifically corresponded to Western goods transported from Guangdong. Later, Gui Bugui moved the shop elsewhere and packed it up, and the few of them moved here to live.

On the night when he returned to the capital, Jia Shifang, who had become a guest at the emperor, came to the mansion with the gifts given by the emperor. After seeing Wu Mian and Guideng, Jia Shifang bowed and said, "I heard during the day that you have returned to Beijing. Originally, Shifang, I should have been to welcome Shifang outside the city. But yesterday the emperor suffered evil spirits and was so hot that he was scary. Shifang, I stayed in the palace to eliminate evil for the emperor. His Majesty only rushed over after the fever subsided."

After hearing this, Gui Bugui smiled and said, "Shifang, you are no longer a priest, you should be a doctor. Did the emperor also grant you any official position?"

"When Su Ru and Yunxiang's marriage was settled, the emperor had already awarded the title of second-class earl, and later he would hand over the inner guard's affairs to Shifang." Jia Shifang did not hide it. He smiled at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and 'Xu Fu' and continued, "I have refused a few times, but the emperor said that he only had Yunxiang, a heart-to-heart brother. Shifang is Yunxiang's father-in-law, and the inner guard's errand can only be handed over to his own people. The emperor has already said this, and if I don't agree, I can't say it..."

When he said this, Jia Shifang paused for a moment, and then continued with some complacent words: "From Your Majesty's opinion, when I preside over the inner guard, I will be promoted to the title of three levels in a row and rewarded a duke. If that is true, Shifang is not talented, he will be the first alchemist to take the title of duke except Dafang Master."

When the alchemist sect was at its peak, the emperors wanted to be granted the title of Dafang Shi. All the great masters of the country were held by the position of the guardian heavenly master who was equivalent to the duke. However, in addition to the great master, Jia Shifang was also the first "alchemist" to be granted the duke.

He glanced at Jia Shifang who was smiling happily, Gui Bugui smiled and said, "Then I want to congratulate you. After you become the duke, no one dares to say that Su Ru married Yun Xiang anymore... But I still want to remind you, "Accompanying the king and the tiger, you have served two great masters. You should know this."

Jia Shifang smiled and said, "This Shifang naturally understands it, but for the sake of your elderly people, even if the emperor has any dissatisfaction with Shifang, he will always be open-minded."

At this time, Wu Mian glanced at the son-in-law of his designated descendant and said, "Okay... go back and see your wife, children, your wife's birthday is coming soon, you have to prepare early..."

Hearing the words of the white-haired man, Jia Shifang sighed. He calculated his fortune for his wife, and after the New Year, she almost deserved to die. Originally, Jia Shifang wanted to use medicine stones to prosper his wife, but was stopped by Wu Mian. According to the words of the white-haired man, the Shao family women were already considered rich and noble when they were born. If their life span was long, it would cause jealousy... After all, they were not immortal, so they could live for a lifetime according to the natural life span.

After Jia Shifang agreed, he continued, "Shifang is ready. We are a couple, and we will not let her go away in a deserted manner..."

Seeing this topic, Gui Bugui said to Jia Shifang: "I have been in the palace for a day, but you haven't returned home yet? Go back and see your wife and children. Your wife is different. Now she has become a different person. Go back and take a look..."

Jia Shifang and his wife had a letter exchange. He had already felt the changes in his wife from the lines in the letter. After hearing that Gui Bugui had the intention of seeing off guests, Jia Shifang gave his salute, then left the place and returned to his house.

After Jia Shirenfang left, Gui Bugui glanced at Wu Mian and said, "No wonder the officialdom is as deep as the sea. Shifang's child was not bad before. Why did he become a small count? It seems like he has become a different person. He could not see the agility of being a disciple of the Volcano before..."

"This is human nature, nothing." At this time, "Xu Fu", who had been watching the fun, said. Then the "Great Master" chuckled softly and continued: "But there was also a death edict on Jia Shifang's face. Maybe it was the matter of taking over the inner guard."

"That's his life. If you hand over your life to others, you can't help but die." Wu Mian said slowly and slowly, he turned to Gui Bugui and said, "Old guy, my descendants are married, you won't have any expression, right?"

"How is that possible? As long as the women of the Shao family dare to accept it, the Sishui number will be given to them." Gui Bugui laughed and continued, "The shops of Sishui number in Beijing..."

"Don't want that..." Before Gui Bugui finished speaking, Wu Mian interrupted him directly. After pausing for a moment, the white-haired man continued, "Please give her box to her descendants before."

Gui Bugui understood what Wu Mian meant. The first great master Yan Aihou left some relics for his daughter. These things were put in a box. Later, because of various things, Zhao Wenjun, who was reincarnated by Yan Aihou's daughter, was already in a state of despair. After so many years, Wu Mian raised the box again. It seemed that it was time to hand it over.

The relics were originally preserved as one of the spiritual senses of the owner of Wentian Tower, but later they returned to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. They have been preserved in a separate underground palace on the God of Wealth Island for so many years...

"If you don't say anything, I almost forgot the box..." After Gui Bugui smiled, he calculated the day, and shook his head and said, "Suru's wedding on the sixth day of the first lunar month, it must be too late to ship it back from the God of Wealth Island. In this way, this box will be used as a gift for Suru to give birth to a daughter. It will definitely be handed over to her at that time."

"Are you talking about the treasures of Yan Aihou?" "Xu Fu" glanced at the two of them, then smiled slightly, and said, "Don't look at me with a thief-proof look. How long can I live? No matter how good those treasures are, they are of no use to me... But can't I start empty-handed when your descendants get married?"

Hearing that "Xu Fu" was like giving gifts, Wu Mian looked up and down at the 'Great Master' and couldn't guess what he could give. He said, "Don't you want the old guy to borrow money to give gifts and then ask another Xu Fu to pay it back?"
