t, and women dressed in bright clothes were in groups, dressed as big families, but there were no slaves behind them, laughing and walking through the streets.
Zhu Yuqing couldn’t take her eyes off it.
It turned out that this was the capital.

  The bustling and noisy capital, with almost no night in my mother’s mouth, turned out to be like this.

  Actually, Mrs.
Zhu saw her daughter’s little action, but she didn’t intend to stop her as she felt bad about her daughter who grew up in the border town.
So she pretended not to see it.
Suddenly, their carriage stopped moving. 

  Mrs.
Zhu frowned, lifted the curtain and asked the maid outside the car, “What’s the matter?” 

  The maid went to the front and asked a few questions, then ran back and said, “Ma’am, it seems that a carriage came in from the side and took the cart in front of us.
Road is blocked.”

  When Mrs.
Zhu listened to the maid, she became very unhappy.
They were travelling for a long time and she was very tired, so she was in a hurry to go back and rest.
But now such an incident happened, she could not help complaining.
“This is the problem in the capital, there are noble people everywhere.
Which family daughter is in that carriage?”

  “Mother, what should we do?” Zhu Yuqing asked.

  “What else can we do? Someone has to make way.” Mrs.
Zhu said, “Your father is the new deputy privy envoy, wearing official uniforms, and our family’s guards are all family generals brought back from the border.
Although there are many noble people in the capital, those young masters and young ladies have never seen blood.
No matter how domineering they are, they will not dare to stop us.”

    Zhu Yuqing sighed and still opened the curtain and looked at the excitement outside.
She saw a person coming down from the opposite carriage.
That person was probably sent by his master.

  “Don’t block our young master’s way! Move your carriage back to make way.
Our young master is the direct young master of the Pingzhang family, don’t disturb our young master’s interest!” He said.

   After the servant finished shouting, the people around were shocked.  Mrs.
Zhu took a deep breath: “It turned out to be Pingzhangshi’s son.
The capital is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon[1].
I also felt that the deputy envoy of the Privy Council already has a high rank, but I didn’t expect that we would meet the young master of the Pingzhangshi family so soon.”

  Zhu Yuqing: “Mother, who is Pingzhangshi?”
