marquis of jingan

Chapter 702

Don't mention it all the way.

The time came to the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Hongde. After driving for half a month, a group of people finally saw the traditional Jiankang City from a distance.

Because they basically didn't rest for too long when they were on the road, everyone's faces were a little tired at this time, but when they could see Jiankang with their naked eyes, everyone's spirits were lifted a lot.

Especially Jin Shizi Li Mu.

He pointed at Jiankang City with his palms, and said with a smile, "I have been away for more than half a year and I have come back. I am the commander of the capital, which is really unprecedented."

Generally speaking, the capitals and commanders who sit in towns are unlikely to be able to return to Jiankang without an imperial edict, otherwise they may be punished for leaving their duties without authorization. "For the most part, coupled with his noble status, he sneaked back to Jiankang to celebrate the New Year, and no one dared to say anything about him.

But Master Shen's mood is much more complicated.

Naturally, he also wanted to go back to Jiankang and visit his wife and children at home, but at this moment, he was somewhat uncertain about the emperor's reaction.

Seeing Shen Yi's appearance, Li Mu smiled casually, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "After making such a great contribution, why don't you even have a smiling face? Shen Shen is not such a deep method."

Shen Yi smiled, did not answer, but looked back at Jiang Sheng, and said slowly: "Let's go faster, go to the city before dark, everyone have a good rest for a few days."

Jiang Sheng bowed and said yes.

Li Mu stretched his waist, and said to Shen Yi: "Unfortunately, after entering Jiankang City, you and my brothers won't be able to see each other often, lest those mad dog censors see me and say that I make friends with foreign ministers and that you make friends with the clan. "

Shen Yi said with a smile: "I am very familiar with Shibazilou. If I have something to ask Shizi, I will go to Shibazilou."

"it is good."

Li Mu nodded and yawned greatly: "But don't look for me in the last few days. I'm exhausted from the journey, so I have to sleep well for a few days."

Shen Yi smiled slightly and did not speak again.

A group of people entered Jiankang before the city gate closed.

After entering Jiankang, Li Mu bowed his hand to Shen Yi, and then parted ways with Shen Yi with a few entourages, and went back to the Jin Palace.

And Master Shen looked at the sky, and brought a group of entourages to the gate of Shen's house. Shen Yi stood at the gate of his own house, turned around and told Jiang Sheng: "I'll go home first, and you arrange the board and lodging of the brothers. Don't treat me badly." After leaving them, the expenses will be withdrawn from the cashier."

Jiang Sheng quickly lowered his head.

Shen Yi paused, and then said: "Don't talk nonsense about Fuzhou's affairs for the time being."

Jiang Sheng originally had a smile on his face, but he immediately became serious when he heard the words. He bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi and said, "Young master, don't worry, the little mouth is very tight."

"If you shouldn't say it, you won't say a single word!"

"Ah."

Shen Yi stretched, and strode towards his home.

As soon as he walked through the gate, the concierge of the Shen family found him. After shouting in surprise, not long after, all the Shen family members ran out to welcome Shen Yi's return.

When the whole family arrived, Shen Yi first took his wife's hand, then held Shen Yuan in his arms, and asked everyone: "Father hasn't come back yet? Why isn't Shen Heng here?"

Lu Ruoxi was a little embarrassed to be held by Shen Yi in front of everyone, but she still replied: "Father never came back in Jiangdu, as for Jiulang..."

"I'm still in the Hanlin Academy, and I haven't come back."

After Shen Hengzhong's exploration of flowers, he was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy, and he has already worked in the Imperial Academy.

He is even more beautiful than Shen Yi's Shuji of the Hanlin Academy back then.

However, Sanding Jia, who is in the same discipline as Master Shen, has just spent three years in the Imperial Academy, waiting for the imperial court to appoint an official. In terms of future, they are much worse than Master Shen, who is now a fifth rank.

Everyone chatted around Shen Yi, and the big maid Qing'er said with a smile: "Young Master, when you came back a few times before, you would bring us some local things. Why didn't you bring anything back this time?"

Master Shen looked a little tired, he was stunned for a while, and then smiled helplessly: "Forget it."

Everyone chattered to Shen Yi, but Lu Ruoxi noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yi's mood, she took Shen Yi's arm and walked aside, and said softly: "My husband, what's wrong?"

"Maybe I'm tired from the journey, or maybe I'm not in a good mood."

Master Shen looked at the gentle wife in front of him, then at the son in his arms who could already be called Daddy, his mood suddenly improved a lot, he smiled and said, "Just sleep and you'll be fine."

While everyone was talking, Shen Heng, dressed in a seventh-rank official uniform, walked in from the outside. After seeing Shen Yi from a distance, he was full of surprises, strode forward, stretched out his arms to hug Shen Yi, and then took two steps back, He bowed his hands respectfully to Shen Yi: "Brother!"

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and patted Shen Heng's shoulder, looking at the promising younger brother in front of him, he felt better again.

"Good boy."

Master Shen showed a happy smile: "Give our parents face."

Shen Heng's winning the top three tripods is a glorious event for the entire Shen family, not only for Shen Zhang's face, but also for Shen Yi.

Even, the Shen family's political capital has become much thicker because of this.

As for Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang, after taking Shen Heng back to Jiangdu this spring, he never returned to Jiankang.

Of course, in addition to appearing holy in front of people, Shen Zhang mainly supervises the repair of the grave of his dead wife and the construction of the archway of the Shen family's ancestral hall in his hometown.

This year, the Shen family will add another archway.

A Jinshi and first archway!
"lucky."

Shen Heng lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Afterwards, when I read the papers released in the palace examination, I also felt very scared. If I didn't perform well at that time, I would never have won the first class."

The two brothers reunited after a long absence, and they talked together for a long time, and they didn't sit down until the Shen family had dinner.

After entering the table, Shen Yi moved his chopsticks first, then looked at Lu Ruoxi, and said, "The Chinese New Year is only half a month away, so I should invite my father back before the Chinese New Year, otherwise we will celebrate the New Year in Jiankang, and my father is in Jiangdu, so it is not very suitable."

Lu Ruoxi put down her chopsticks, glanced at Shen Yi slightly, and said with a smile: "I've been invited by someone a long time ago, and I even asked Jiulang to write a letter in his own hand. I originally planned that if Jiangdu didn't reply to the letter in the past two days, I would reply personally." Go to Jiangdu and invite my father and my father to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year."

The tone of her words sounded a little bit of complaint.

After all, in the past few years after Mr. Shen got married, he really didn't take care of the family affairs. Lu Ruoxi took care of the house inside and out.

Shen Heng at the side said with a smile: "Brother is not at home, sister-in-law keeps the house in order. Anything that brother can think of, sister-in-law has already thought of it."

Master Shen glared at Shen Heng, who shrank his neck and continued to eat.

Shen Yi glared at him, not because he was facing Lu Ruoxi, but because his father Shen Zhang hid in the river and refused to come back. A large part of the reason was because of Shen Heng.

Because after Shen Heng became a Jinshi, he once mentioned to Shen Zhang that he wanted to take Chen Youniang as his wife. This made the little old man very angry, and he simply hid in the river and never came back.

And Shen Yi just found out about this.

Tanhualang was stared at by Shen Yi and felt uncomfortable all over. He looked at his elder brother with a guilty conscience, and said, "Brother, you just came back, so hurry up and eat and rest well..."

Shen Yi shook his head helplessly, instead of pursuing the matter further, he changed the subject: "Is it okay to be in the Imperial Academy during this time?"

"all good."

After Shen Heng became a Jinshi, he obviously became more cheerful. He said with a smile: "With my elder brother here, who dares to bully me?"

"loquacious."

Shen Yi shook his head and continued to eat.

At the dinner table, there were laughter and laughter.

But Lu Ruoxi, who was delicate and thoughtful, could still sense that something was wrong with Shen Yi's mood. She thought about it, and then glanced at the completely dark sky outside.

I remember that when my husband returned to Jiankang last year, he was summoned to the palace before he finished his meal.

And now...

It was dark already.

No one came to the door and called Shen Yi into the palace...
