Chapter 599 Returning to Beijing ([-])
This evening's family dinner, there was no separate table for men and women, and everyone sat around the round table to a full table.

Shen Mao was full of peace of mind, Da Feng's face was full of smiles and kept laughing.

In the next two days, Shen's residence was full of visitors, and the threshold was almost broken by relatives, friends and old friends who came to the door.

Shen You has repeatedly made meritorious service in the frontier army, and is already a general of the second rank, which is enough to rank among the top five generals in the Great Qi.Jane is in the heart of the emperor, with a high position and weight.

It was Shen Jia, who was now an official of the third rank, a serious general.The Shen family not only shines in the entrance hall, but the ancestral grave is almost smoking.At this point, everyone has lost their envy and hatred, so let's find opportunities to show more affection!
Mrs. Lei also came to the door in person.

Da Feng hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The children are coming back and planning to visit Lei's house, why did the mother-in-law come here in person?"

Mrs. Lei smiled heartily: "I can't help it, let's see my grandson and granddaughter first."

Being able to raise a daughter like Lei Xiaoxue shows Mrs. Lei's temperament.These years, Lei Xiaoxue, Shen Jia, and his wife were at the border with a pair of children. Mrs. Lei and Da Feng's were no strangers to each other.

When Lei Xiaoxue saw her mother, she was very happy and hurriedly called Shen Miao and Shen Yu over, "Your brothers and sisters came to see your grandmother."

Shen Miao and Shen Yu siblings saluted together.

Shen Miao, who was 13 years old, had a slim figure, bright eyes and white teeth, bright and charming, and graceful demeanor.Ten-year-old Shen Yu has a handsome face and is lively and lovable.

When Mrs. Lei saw the two siblings, she fell in love with them so much that she hugged them both and greeted them warmly.He took out the prepared meeting gift again, Shen Xu and Shen Hao brother and sister also had a gift.

After the lively greetings, the mother and daughter went to the dormitory to talk privately.

Mrs. Lei asked Lei Xiaoxue carefully about her life in the border town.

The mother and daughter have been keeping in touch with each other, and I don't know how many times these things have been written in the letters.When we met at this time, I still couldn't help asking carefully.

Lei Xiaoxue answered one by one patiently.

Mrs. Lei held her daughter's hand in relief, and said with a smile: "Knowing that your family of four is doing well, I can completely let go of my heart. I never thought that Shen Jia would have such official luck. You are now Madam Gaoming of the third rank is stronger than your mother."

Who would have thought that the slightly reckless Shen Jia more than ten years ago would rise to the top and become a general all the way?

In the past, how many people secretly laughed at her for marrying her daughter lowly, but now how many people envy her for her insight into a good son-in-law.

The mother and daughter talked in private, saying what they had to say.Lei Xiaoxue chuckled softly: "In this, at least half of the credit is due to the fourth brother."

"Back then, the fourth younger brother suddenly received the emperor's order to go to the frontier army. Shen Jia followed without saying a word. The two brothers should help each other, so they didn't think too much about it."

"I never thought that when I was in the frontier army, I would immediately have a real job. In these years, he led the army with his fourth brother to fight in battles, and his name was repeatedly listed on the credits, which is how he is today."

Mrs. Lei smiled and sighed: "To be honest, I was reluctant when Shen Jia wanted to go to the frontier army with Shen You, and to take your mother and son with you. The climate at the border gate was cold and Outside the pass is the Tartars, desolate and dangerous."

"Now that I think about it, I'm narrow-minded. If you want to fight for the future, don't you have to go to such a place? If Shen Jia has been staying in the palace as a servant, he is now at most the little leader of the emperor's personal army. It's no big deal. promising."

"Now that Shen Jia has become a general of the third rank, you also have an imperial order. Finally, you have endured all hardships!"

After a pause, he smiled and instructed: "You and Shen You and your wife should get along well."

Lei Xiaoxue laughed: "Can I not know this? Don't worry! The brothers get along with each other day and night and have a deep relationship, and my fourth sibling and I are also very good."

Mrs. Lei smiled, thought for a while and said, "Speaking of your four siblings, you are not a simple person."

Mentioning Feng Shaojun, Lei Xiaoxue was full of admiration: "Yes! In the past eight or nine years, I have trained dozens of maids who are proficient in martial arts. The fourth sibling has been running her restaurant and teahouse, and now the business is spread across several border towns. How much silver."

"She usually talks and laughs at Yanyan, and almost never loses her temper. But for some reason, the children are afraid of her. Even I, when I face her smiling face, I have to soften up. Before I know it, I listen to her. It's gone."

The two sisters-in-law lived next to each other for more than eight years, and they communicated closely and frequently.Lei Xiaoxue had no idea what Feng Shaojun was doing secretly.However, Feng Shaojun kept the inner house in an orderly manner, the family rules were quite strict, and the children did not dare to act presumptuously in front of her, this could always be seen.

Mrs. Lei looked at Lei Xiaoxue, who was over thirty years old and still had the temperament of a girl, and felt a little helpless: "Well, although you are older than her, you are far less intelligent and tactful, and even more so when it comes to being seasoned. "

"Just listen to her!"

……

The Feng family also came to visit.

In recent years, Feng Ping's Ministry of Rites has done fairly well.

Three years ago, Zheng Ge became an old man and became an official. Among several civil servants who were qualified to compete for the position of elder, Feng Shangshu regretted being defeated.

Logically speaking, Feng Shaojun should take the child back to Feng Mansion to pay his respects to the elders.However, Feng Shaojun had long since severed contact with the Feng family, and had no intention of returning to Feng's residence at all.

Feng Shangshu simply came in person.

Feng Shangshu is also in his 60s and nearly [-] years old, with white hair and beard, and a friendly smile. At first glance, he looks very kind, not to mention kind.

Da Feng didn't expect his old father to come in person, he was pleasantly surprised and a little uneasy, so he hurriedly invited Feng Shangshu to take a seat.Then call the son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren of the family, and they all come to see the ceremony.

Feng Shaojun was caught in it, and saluted with a smile.

Feng Shangshu obviously attached great importance to Shen Xu, and deliberately called Shen Xu to come forward: "In a blink of an eye, Brother Xu has grown up so much."

If it hadn't been for watching Shen You become a second-rank general, if it hadn't been for Shen Xu being appointed by His Royal Highness to be a grandson's companion, how could Feng Shangshu, who had no profit and could not afford it early, put down his figure and came to the door?
Feng Shaojun was stunned, and answered unhurriedly: "After Xu'er was born, my uncle and grandfather only saw him twice. After eight or nine years, I still recognized him at a glance. My uncle is already old. , The memory is still so good, it is really beyond the reach of my grandniece."

Feng Shangshu was not annoyed at all when he heard such sarcasm, he laughed and said: "Xu'er was born with the same appearance as Shen You when he was young, you can tell it at a glance. Even if I have a bad memory, I can recognize it."

"Young Master, our grandparents and grandchildren have been separated for many years. Today I took the initiative to visit the door. First, I came to see the children, and second, I have something to say to you."
