Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

As soon as they returned home, they were warmly welcomed by their family.

"Grandfather and grandmother, this is a brocade robe for you."

Two sets of gorgeous satin cotton coats were taken out of the bundle and handed to the two men.

Since they were exiled, the old couple have been wearing coarse cotton clothes. Now when they see such bright material, they can't bear to look away.

"Yuan Jing, this material must be very expensive, right?" Old Madam Shen looked at it with reluctance. She didn't dare touch the satin directly, for fear of getting it dirty and getting snagged. She just touched it with her hand suspended.

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "No need. The most valuable things now are food and charcoal. No one buys silk. It's only a little more expensive than a coarse cotton coat!"

This is the truth. Food and clothing security are the most important thing now. The situation in the county is unclear. The owner of the silk shop can't wait to sell the silk at a low price and buy more coarse cloth.

In the current situation, even the rich families in the county have to tighten their belts, and those who are afraid of showing off have all changed into coarse cotton-padded clothes. No one buys silk or satin because the color will not be bright after being kept for a long time, and it is not as strong as coarse cloth. The reason is that ordinary people cannot afford it, and those who can afford it don't buy it!

Although Old Madam Shen was happy, the hard times she had been living lately had caused her to start nagging out of habit.

"Don't spend money recklessly in the future. These two sets of clothes can buy a lot of food and charcoal."

The main reason is that Dongchuan is so damn cold, and cotton-padded clothes made of silk are not as warm as those made of coarse cloth!

Shen Yuanxu smiled and said, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about money and food anymore. My elder sister has been promoted again!"

After he said this, there was an eerie silence, and everyone in the room had a strange expression.

Shen Yuanjing and Shen Yuanxu both saw it.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Shen Yuanxu finished speaking, Shen Congwen snorted coldly, pushed the door open with a dark face, and walked out.

The cold wind blew in through the door, making Old Madam Shen look unhappy, and everyone else looked unhappy too.

Liu ran over reluctantly and closed the door. She walked in small steps while muttering, "Brother, you are such a fool. Even if you are angry, you can't take it out on us! In this horrible weather, please don't let us catch a cold!"

Old Madam Shen's face turned even darker.

Shen Yuanjing's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Grandma, is father angry with my elder sister again?"

Madam Shen had a dark face and said unhappily, "Don't worry about him, he's just too full!"

Liu's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Yuan Jing, you just said that Lan Xi got promoted again? What's her current official position?"

Shen Yuanjing glanced at the door, then retracted his gaze and raised the corner of his mouth: "Big sister is still the commander of six counties, and my second uncle is now in charge of recruiting soldiers and is paid by the general flag. Big sister is still taking care of our Shen family!"

This was exactly what Liu wanted to hear, and she immediately smiled with joy.

"Really? I was wondering why your uncle didn't come back. So he's an official? When your father was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he didn't even promote your uncle. It's Lan Xi who is really capable!"

Although Old Madam Shen did not like what Liu said, she felt happy again when she thought that her second son was also a centurion.

"Yuan Jing, Yuan Xu, what are your current official positions?"

The two looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly. Shen Yuanjing pushed Shen Yuanxu and said, "Your mother, you answer."

Shen Yuanxu cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Mother, your son is now a centurion. Yuan Jing and Yuan Kun are both centurions. We are in charge of more than 200 people each."

Liu was even happier.

"Son, that's great. I didn't expect you were not good at studying. It turns out you chose the wrong career. If I had known, I would have let you join the army!"

The corner of Shen Yuanxu's mouth twitched. She is worthy of being his mother.

"Mother, I wanted to join the army, but my family didn't have any help."

Liu nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

Old Madam Shen rolled her eyes at Liu, this talkative person, she hadn't even asked her any questions yet.

The two of them began to take things out of their bags and give gifts to their families.

"Uncle San and Uncle Si, this is a jade pendant for you. Brothers and sisters, this is a red hairpin inkstone for you..."

Old Madam Shen was extremely happy to see the family having so much fun together!

"Yuan Jing Yuan Xu, why didn't you give anything to your mother?" Miao asked.

The two of them froze, and before they could answer, Liu had already rushed in front of Miao.

"Yes, it won't work without me, sister-in-law, give me the red hairpin in your hand!"

Miao's smile froze and she began to play dumb.

"Second sister-in-law, your two children have become successful now. Won't they have enough gifts to show their filial piety to you in the future? This is a gift from my children to me. I can't go against their kindness!" After saying this, she plugged the hair and didn't believe that Liu would have the nerve to pull it out of her hair!

"Okay, the children have finally come back. If you dare to make trouble, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" Old Madam Shen scolded with a stern face!

Shen Congyi took a look at the jade pendant in his hand, which was of decent quality, and put it away.

"Yuan Jing, I heard that people were killed in Fuchun and Wujin counties yesterday?"

Shen Yuanjing's face turned pale. He has adapted to it a lot now. If it were before, he would have gagged a few times.

"They killed them, skinned two of them, and saw forty or fifty of them. Many of them were sent to the army as slaves!"

The Shen family members all turned pale. Although they were in Hongliutun, they had also heard about this.

"Is it really cut?" Shen Congyi asked solemnly.

Shen Yuanjing nodded: "Really, I was the one who supervised the execution in Fuchun County at that time. The executioner was supposed to be cut into pieces, but the executioner was not skilled enough. He was killed with more than 300 cuts!"

Shen Congyi looked up at his nephew who didn't even frown, and the thought that had just emerged in his mind faded away again.

Old Madam Shen felt that this was too unlucky and quickly changed the subject.

"When will your uncle and his family come back?"

"These days, rest and rest are arranged in turns. Second uncle is in charge of recruiting soldiers, and his duties are important, so he may have to take a back seat!"

Liu Shile acted as if she had picked up a great bargain, and said with a smile: "It's okay to move back~" which made Madam Shen roll her eyes again.

The Shen family members tacitly did not mention Shen Lanxi. When they returned to their rooms, they closed the door and talked in private!

"Yuan Xu, does Lan Xi treat you differently from Yuan Jing and the others?" Liu said.

"Master, why don't we let Yuan Peng and Yuan Hao go as well?" Miao.

"Master, you can't let Lan Xi only take care of the second room and ignore our fourth room?" Tian was jealous and anxious.

None of the Shen family members got a good rest tonight.

Early the next morning, several people quietly took their bags and stood guard outside Shen Yuanjing's door.

……

"Big sister, Third Uncle is here with Yuan Peng, Yuan Hao, Yuan Tang, Yuan Xin, and Yuan Ruan are here too!" Shen Yuanjing said stiffly.

Shen Lanxi was reading official documents and said without even looking up: "Go find Liu Yanhui and ask him to make the arrangements!"

Shen Yuanjing went out and came back after a while.

"Big sister..." He didn't expect that they would insist on following him.

Shen Lanxi put down the document and looked at her older brother who had his head lowered.

"As long as they do their duty and do their job well, I won't stop them from coming!"

Shen Yuanjing had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Big sister, are you really not angry with them?"

Shen Lanxi was relaxed and said with a smile: "They are my relatives, not my enemies. Why can I be angry?"
