As soon as he returned to the inn where he was staying, Fang Tianlin immediately recalled all the subordinates who had gone north to look for the fleet and gave them a big vacation. As long as they didn't run too far, they were free to wander around.

The waiting time should have been very long, but Fang Tianlin didn't feel it at all because he had something to do. Apart from going to the bookstore to replenish blank books, he basically stayed in the inn.

"Master, Anjia Qian's manager sent someone to send a message. We will leave the day after tomorrow. Ask the master to prepare first."

Fang Tianlin raised his head from the book case: "Oh, that's it, then let me go down and check the fleet again, and leave on time if there is no problem."

"Yes, sir."

Generally speaking, it is much faster to go by sea than by land, but if it is urgent to send a message, the situation is just the opposite.

When the Shen family's fleet was still on the way, Mr. An had already received the news.

The one who has a closer relationship with the Shen family is Master An San. After reading the letter, Master An immediately notified Master An San.

"Third brother, this is the news that Manager Qian sent someone to send, please read it over." After saying that, Master An threw the letter in front of Master An San.

Master An San unfolded the letter, quickly scanned the content, then put it away again, thought for a while, and said, "Only one of the five members of the Shen family came back, Master Fang. It seems that the Shen family is determined to stay there for a long time. Qian The big brother knows better than me the ability of the chief steward. He failed to find out the bottom line of the Shen family, which shows how tight the relationship between these people is. What is even more surprising is that there are even many people in the Shen family fleet, including their masters. It’s not clear where to make a home.”

"These things are not difficult to do with a little effort, and it's not worth your fuss." Master An said calmly.

Hearing this, Master An San sat up straight and said seriously, "Brother, it depends on the situation. After several generations of management, the An family has earned the family business in front of them. The Shen family has just started. At that time, the An family had Shen Such a thorough plan, meticulous thinking, and strong control?"

Master An was at a loss for words for a while, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason.

"These uninformed people should be peripheral members. The real direct descendants are the guards whose mouths are tighter than clam shells. What I want to say is exactly this. These guards are very low-key and basically stay in the inn. If this is the only way, Manager Qian would not specifically mention this matter, it must be that they are different from ordinary nursing homes. It is a pity that the An family and the Shen family are in a cooperative relationship, so it is best not to inquire too deeply. With your hands tied, you only gave us such a vague message to remind us." Master An San sighed quietly, "The Shen family seems to be really not simple."

"Even if what you said is right, what does this do to the An family? Could it be that after the whole family of the Shen family moves out of Yunzhou City, can the An family benefit from them? Do you think the An family will be so downcast? Is there a day when you want to ask the Shen family, or is it the kind that travels all the way to the border to ask for it?"

"Who knows about this?" Master An San returned to his appearance as an idle rich man, "Don't you say that one more friend is one more way? I'm also trying to find a way out for the An family. Anyway, the An family doesn't have to pay much. Just lend a hand."

Mr. An is silent, his family knows his own affairs, he is a good hand in business, he holds the largest property of the An family under his hands, and he is also vigorous and decisive in handling affairs, but when it comes to political and military perspectives, he is not as good as the one in front of him The third brother of the foodie.

Even the old man has said more than once that if he goes west by crane, it is best to refer to the third brother's opinion when encountering such a major event that determines the future of the family.The old man didn't even mention the fifth younger brother who was an official outside, but only mentioned the third younger brother. One can imagine how talented the third younger brother is in this respect.It's a pity that the third brother is not talented in civil and martial arts. Otherwise, with such a keen sense of smell, the third brother should be able to get ahead no matter which way he takes. The children of senior officials are much stronger.

Mr. An's expression is a bit complicated at the moment. If the third brother really becomes famous and threatens his status, the relationship between the two brothers may deteriorate.

A younger brother who is too capable, no matter which family he appears in, is a headache for all older brothers.In order to ensure the normal continuation of the family, some families even deliberately suppressed outstanding descendants who were not heirs.Although it is not appropriate to do so in the long run, it is obviously necessary if only the direct branch is considered.

From the day Anjia decided to relocate the whole family to Yunzhou City, the Jing Dynasty has been in chaos. At first, it was those places that suffered severe drought, but now even the border is not so secure.Amid internal and external troubles, places like Yunzhou City, which are far away from disputes, are still singing and dancing, and the common people living in it don't even have a sense of crisis at all.

Fang Tianlin didn't know this, his news was relatively closed, and he could only analyze the external situation by himself from some fragmentary information.Just like this, he can already feel that the current situation is a little more tense than when he led the team out of Yunzhou City a year ago. Although the fleet has not been physically attacked along the way, this feeling has been lingering .

Fortunately, the sea route from Izumo Port to Yunzhou Port is relatively safe, and the Anjia fleet is used to this route, so they have not encountered any troubles along the way, and even the ships cruising far from the fleet are rarely seen. See less.

Ever since Mr. Shen received the news that Fang Tianlin was coming to pick them up, his eyes were filled with melancholy.Worries and fears about the unknown, coupled with nostalgia for the few relatives and friends who are already there, and worries about the marriage prospects of his grandchildren have made him unable to calm down in recent days.But he couldn't express this emotion. If he was uneasy, his children and grandchildren might be even more flustered.

The last time I left my hometown, it was a last resort, but not this time.It's just that Mr. Shen also understands that the Shen family's present good life is thanks to the blessing of the third daughter-in-law. He doesn't need to know too much, as long as he knows that the third daughter-in-law's family will not mess around at will. If they do this, there must be a need for it Do it for a reason.Nostalgia for the prosperity in front of you, maybe you will lose more in the future.

Mr. Shen is obviously not too old-fashioned. He readily agreed to what the third daughter-in-law asked him to do, but it is one thing to promise, and another thing to actually take action.

Hey, it's been a long time in comfort, and even the old guy is nostalgic for him, let alone the juniors.Fortunately, last year, everyone knew the truth and knew that they would move out of Yunzhou City in the next two years. Although they were reluctant to give up, everyone could accept it calmly.If the son and daughter-in-law were suddenly notified to move from the bustling big city to the mountain nest, it would be hard to say whether they would be willing to leave.

"Old man, what the hell are they doing, so serious that it will implicate us?" Mrs. Zhang asked while neatly arranging the small items to be taken away.

The letter from the third son's family last year only said that they had settled down in the southwest, and did not say where the specific location was. Of course, it did not this time either, but at least it gave the general situation. Two words.

Although the old lady doesn't have much experience, she knows her child's temperament very well. No matter how the third child changes, he won't change to the point where the old couple is used as a raft.Knowing this, the old lady was even more curious about what the third child's family was doing.How tempting is it to have a secret that can't even be hidden in a mountain nest?

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Mr. Shen squinted at his wife, "The third child's family is tight-lipped, and if it is really so important, can it be said casually? Even if the third child's family is not careful If you show a little bit of air, we have to stop it."

"It's just you who are reasonable, and there is no one else in the room, why don't I ask curiously?" The old lady laughed, "After a few years of life as a rich old lady, I also lived It’s enough, but I don’t know if this body can still be used for farming.”

"You think too much, the third one is fine, the third daughter-in-law looks like she can treat her master badly? I think, even if the cat is in Shangada, this day will definitely not be bad. Otherwise, the third wife How could it be possible to worry about attracting covetousness from others, even we who are thousands of miles away can't escape?" Ignoring the concern here, Mr. Shen is obviously more open-minded than the old lady.

"Then how about the big girl and the second girl? Don't the clansmen who came with us not be notified?" After laughing for a while, Mrs. Zhang thought of her troubles again.

"The second girl is like a duck to water here, how could she leave with us? Besides, the married daughter splashed water, her children are not young, even if she is willing to leave with us, the Xue family will not agree. It's a pity for the little son-in-law, wait After the third daughter-in-law comes over, discuss with him to see if you can leave a letter to Guanglin, if nothing happens, there is a way out if something happens."

"As for the eldest girl, her in-laws finally settled down in Anyang Village. Wenzi is married, and Zao'er is also engaged, so she can't leave." Mr. Shen understood this very clearly.

With them around, even if they don't make any effort, the Wu family's life will be far easier than in Fuyang County, not to mention that it is impossible for the Shen family to become prosperous, and even the in-laws will not be benefited at all.Now the Wu family is also a small landlord with land and land. Mr. Shen doesn't have that self-confidence, let them give up the family property they have saved so hard, and let them give up the family business that they have saved so hard. place to live.

Although Mr. Shen cared more about his own family, it wasn't that he was partial to this point. Even if he could discipline his son as he wished, there was nothing he could do if they refused to leave, let alone his in-laws.

So far, even Mr. Shen himself has not been able to figure out why the third husband and wife made such a request, and it is even more impossible to casually disclose these to the in-laws.This formed the current situation, and he knew the result without asking him.But in the end, what should be done needs to be carefully discussed with the third daughter-in-law. Only he knows the importance of the matter, and Mr. Shen can only make a rough estimate.

"Let's not talk about them. One makes my forehead hurt when I see it, and I still miss it after a long time. The other is about to have a grandson. It's hard for me as a mother to help her make up her mind. Old man, the eldest family is fine. The second and fourth families each have a baby boy, especially the fourth one, who is only a few months old, can this go on a boat?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Speaking of this, Mr. Shen's words were full of uncertainty, "The boss bought a lot of servants in the countryside according to the third brother's wishes. I have seen them all, and there is more than one doctor among them." , although the medical skills may not be very good, it is not a problem to cure a headache and brain fever."

"Hey, that's the only way to go." Mrs. Zhang also knew that either she didn't agree at the beginning, but since she had already agreed, she had to leave when it was time to leave, otherwise all the previous preparations would be in vain.

******

Fang Tianlin acted very low-key. After discussing with Steward Qian, the Shen family's fleet mixed with the An family's fleet, and even chose to dock at dusk. Only Steward Chen greeted him. Master An San and the Shen family were not dispatched.

After a brief chat with Chen Guanshi, Fang Tianlin directly got into the carriage provided by An's family and entered Yunzhou City quietly.

"Cuckoo."

"Old man, pigeon!" The old lady was inexplicably excited when she saw the pigeon.

Mr. Shen's eyes also lit up.In order to understand the letter written by the third son's family, he worked hard and learned a lot. As long as it is a common word, he can understand most of it. Looking at the thin bamboo tube, I realized that this should be the carrier pigeon delivering letters, so I went to the window and took off the bamboo tube.

Unscrew the stopper, and there are only a few numbers written on it: I will be home at the end of Shenshi today.Signed: square.

"It's the third daughter-in-law. The third child probably didn't come with me, let alone the grandchildren." Mr. Shen was a little disappointed.

The old lady froze when she heard the movements of her hands. She was sewing underwear for the triplets, and it seemed that she would not need it for the time being.

But it was only a matter of a moment, and soon, Mr. Shen's expression returned to normal, and he ordered: "Old lady, let the kitchen tidy up some good dishes, and if there are any shortages, just ask the purchasing manager to buy them."

"Well, I know that."

"Don't leave in a hurry, I'll send someone to call my son and daughter-in-law over, and you can decide how many dishes you get."

"Understood, it's really long-winded." Mrs. Zhang is in good health, her hands and feet are agile, and she has already drifted outside the door when she finished speaking.

At that time in Anyang Village, the two elders had people wait on them personally. After moving into Shen’s house, they were afraid that the secrets of the third elder’s family would be seen by others. Usually, no one was allowed to come in and out of the living room at will. This time it was the same, until The old lady walked out of the yard, and the girl waiting at the door of the side room hurriedly followed.

Fang Tianlin chatted with Chen Guanshi all the way, and basically said everything he could think of. Similarly, he also had a general understanding of Yunzhou City and the recent situation of the Shen family.

"Chen Guanshi, just leave now, I will visit again in a few days." Fang Tianlin stepped off the carriage, watched the other party drive away, and then knocked on the side door of Shen's house.

The door squeaked and opened a crack, seeing Fang Tianlin, the concierge immediately warmly welcomed him into the courtyard.

At this moment, all the members of the Shen family had already gathered together, and when they heard the announcement from the servants that Fang Tianlin had arrived home, the juniors of the same generation immediately greeted him out of the guest house.

The main courtyard has been sealed since Fang Tianlin's family of five left. It was not until Mr. and Mrs. Shen received the news that Fang Tianlin had returned today that they had to clean it up. It would take some time to move in.

Fang Tianlin was taken directly to the guest courtyard where Mr. Shen was staying.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Mr. Shen signaled the junior to step down, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little dignified.

The old lady had a lot to say, even if it was the third daughter-in-law who came, she couldn't help it, and was the first to break the silence in the room: "Is the third child okay? How about the three of them, Bier?..."

Fang Tianlin was not impatient at all, as long as the secrets of Huang Gu were not involved, he would answer carefully.

Everyone was too engrossed in chatting, and if they didn't pay attention, the sky would already be dark. If the food wasn't warmed in the pot, it would have been cold by now.

The maids were also helpless. They reported several times at the door, but they were all blocked by the young master Tang who was guarding the door. They could only allow the taste of the food to decrease step by step.

"Father, mother, it's getting dark, and the third sister-in-law is still hungry, so we can talk about it after dinner." Shen Jiaxi reminded the two elders unceremoniously because he was the youngest among his peers.

"Okay, let's chat while eating." Mr. Shen's mind was not slow, and he quickly thought of a solution that had the best of both worlds.

This night, the Shen family was very lively, and many people even tossed and turned all night without sleep.
