Chapter 382: Departure for the Southern Tour (page 13)
When Shen Linzhong and Chen Luoxue returned to their parents' home on the third day of the new year, they were warmly received by the Chen family. There were more than 200 relatives and friends of the Chen family who came that day.
Shen Linzhong was afraid that the gifts he prepared were not enough, but fortunately his wife had prepared two extra cars.
The Chen family members introduced each person one by one, telling them which branch and house they were from, their generation and how to address them, as if they were afraid that Shen Linzhong would not be able to recognize them.
Some distant relatives also came to the banquet today just because their surname is Chen.
If it was just a simple recognition, Shen Linzhong would naturally have no objection. The Chen family is a large family with a large population and countless branches and collateral branches. It is the most prosperous family in the North.
But what made him unhappy was that just after they got to know each other, an elder of higher rank arrogantly suggested that their son, who was both civil and military, could join the navy and become a captain.
Shen Linzhong explained seriously that the navy's recruitment is extremely strict and everyone must formally register for enlistment.
Even his cousin was in the advanced recruit camp, and only after several months of training and passing the test did he officially join the navy.
But the Chen family didn't believe it. You are the Marquis of Yian, one of the great generals of the navy, the queen's brother, and the prince's uncle. You are arranging for several young people to join the navy, but you are still making excuses.
While people are seeking official positions here, there are people seeking wealth there, saying that their own industries are excellent, but because of the obstruction of villains, they cannot be included in the Maritime Merchants Association.
This small matter can be solved with just one sentence from Yi'an Hou, helping them to add several industries to import and export.
Also, the Queen's bank is recruiting managers. Please ask Marquis Yi'an to recommend a few men from the Chen family to join.
When Shen Linzhong was surrounded and listened to their demands chattering away, he found it ridiculous as if he were a deity in the temple making wishes.
He did not conceal his nervousness at the beginning of his return, his surprise when he met the Chen family, and his disgust now, all without any effort to conceal it.
No wonder my wife rarely interacts with the Chen family! This is a noble family! It's really eye-opening.
Chen Luoxue, who was surrounded by female relatives, was in a similar situation. Her mother wiped her tears and expressed her longing for her. She didn't say a few words of longing, and didn't even ask her how her married life was.
Then he said to help her brother and brother. He also said earnestly, as if he really cared about her:
"After a woman gets married, her status in her husband's family depends on her brothers from her natal family."
"Help your brothers. If they become high-ranking officials, you will be proud of them."
Her mother just asked her to help her brothers, but her grandmother was more interesting. She directly brought out a few sisters from the side branches and asked her to bring them to the Shen Mansion to keep them company.
Anyway, Marquis Yi'an will take a concubine sooner or later. Instead of letting someone else take advantage of it, it would be better for the sisters to live together.
When her married elder sister came over, she thought she could finally hear some heartfelt words and that someone would really care about her, but she didn't expect her sister to be so undisguised in her jealousy.
Back then, my father wanted to send someone to be a concubine to His Majesty, who was then Prince Ling. He originally wanted to pick my elder sister, but my mother insisted on letting my younger sister go.
If her mother hadn't stopped her back then, she would have been the one marrying Marquis Yi'an today!
"You stole my opportunity, so you should repay me. Your brother-in-law is now idle at home. You and Yi'an Hou should think of a way to arrange a position for him."
Chen Luoxue looked at the noisy and bustling room and felt that this return party was a huge joke.
It was said that the Shen family were rough farmers, but within three days of her marriage, she received respect and care in the Shen family that she had never experienced before.
Even my mother-in-law only had some difficulty communicating verbally, and I never asked her to set rules.
Her father-in-law was kind and her grandfather was loving. They treated her as their own junior and never complained about the gifts she received.
But when she got home, she saw that they were not her family members at all, but leeches who wanted to suck blood from her for profit!
Back then, it was clearly my sister who begged my mother not to let her go because she was afraid of dying in Youzhou.
She was standing outside the window and heard it all clearly. Her mother told her father that she was in good health, had a strong life, and could endure hardship, so they let her go.
Now it has become that she has snatched her sister's opportunity. How ridiculous!
At this return banquet, the couple, one was at the men's guest banquet and the other was at the women's guest banquet. Both of them found the food tasteless and were in great pain.
Originally, they planned to stay at Chen's house for one night, but Chen Luoxue insisted on leaving after having lunch.
On the carriage back to the Shen family, Chen Luoxue, who had always been self-respecting and strong, shed tears of grievance and frustration in front of Shen Linzhong for the first time.
Shen Linzhong did not mention anything about the return banquet. He just held her hand tightly and said softly:
"From now on, I'll take care of everything. Chen family, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
Chen Luoxue nodded heavily and made up her mind at the same time that if the Chen family dared to use her name to do something illegal, she would be ruthless and show no mercy!
They were supposed to have a month's honeymoon leave, but as His Majesty was about to start his southern tour, neither of them was in the mood to take a vacation.
After the return banquet, Shen Linzhong arranged for his family to return home and arranged for servants and guards, while Chen Luoxue went to arrange the Queen's schedule.
Dong Su repeatedly said that with officials from various departments present, the two of them could go to the seaside at the base and spend their honeymoon without worry, but unfortunately neither of them listened.
The Shen family was very happy about returning to Gwangju. No matter how good and comfortable life was in the capital, people just missed their hometown.
The happiest ones were Grandpa Shen and Second Aunt. Second Aunt had asked Mo Xiujing to buy her a house in the city, and when she returned home this time, she wanted to bring the whole family over.
Shanshan should stop being the village head. There is no good school for his grandchildren in Gwangju, which will affect their future. Dongsu said that they can go to the royal kindergarten in Beijing.
Grandpa missed his fish pond, the big white goose and the little black dog. He left in a hurry last time and left these two treasures at home.
Although Butler Liu wrote in a letter saying that he had someone looking after the Shen family's assets, they were not abandoned at all.
But Grandpa was still worried. Besides, he was the village chief of Shenjia Village and now he was one of the presidents of the Henan Central Chamber of Commerce. He had to return to his hometown to bring more industries that would make more villagers rich.
There are many kinds of tea. Our Yizhou tea is specially supplied for export, so no matter how much you have, it is never too much.
When Grandpa discussed with his family that they would not follow the emperor and empress to Chang'an, they would return to Yizhou first after leaving Youzhou, and obtained the consent of the whole family.
Zhongyang worked as an errand boy and went to the palace to tell Dongsu the news. Dongsu earnestly urged him to go back and persuade his grandfather and the others.
Didn't the villagers look forward to going to Chang'an before? This time, everyone is going with His Majesty to visit Chang'an and see the thousand-year-old ancient city. Don't you want to?
Then grandpa answered very affirmatively, no!
It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned going back to Yizhou, but once they heard about going back to their hometown, everyone wanted to fly back with wings, and they didn't have the mood to follow the large group and stop along the way.
Dong Su had no choice but to respect Grandpa's decision and told Ling Moxiao that Grandpa and the others would return to Yizhou first.
Although Ling Moxiao felt very sorry that he could not take his grandfather to see the scenery of Chang'an, he also respected the old man's wish.
The outing of the Emperor and Empress is a very grand event. In order not to affect the central government's operations, Ling Moxiao reduced the number of accompanying officials again and again.
The same went for Dongsu, the female official only brought Xiaoman with her.
Since Your Majesty has not participated in spring and autumn hunting activities since you came to Qiandu, the Ministry of Rites is very excited about arranging for Your Majesty to go on a long journey.
It's a feeling of finally having the opportunity to show your talents, and everything is arranged very well.
