Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 242 Family
Ever since Jiang Shunian invited a female storyteller into the mansion, their family would send people to pick up the storyteller from time to time to come and tell stories in the mansion.

Mrs. Hou doesn't have to take care of housework, and has nothing to do except worship Buddha. Tang Bingxuan, her relatively leisurely daughter-in-law, naturally stays by her side.

Mei and her daughter Jiang Yuan had been active in the wealthy circles of Kyoto for several days and began to stay in seclusion in the mansion, waiting for interested parties to come and let them know.

Therefore, Mrs. Mei and her daughter also spent time in the main courtyard listening to Mrs. Qiao.

Jiang Ning (An An) is ten years old, and Tang Bingxuan has begun to deliberately cultivate some rules, etiquette, and social behavior in her daughter. Therefore, the mother and daughter are basically inseparable every day.

"Mom, when will father come home?"

Jiang Zeyou (Kang Kang) and his two other cousins ​​went to study in their own school. Jiang Ning could only go with her grandmother and mother without her brother to accompany her.

She and her father Jiang Shunian have a very good relationship. This is the first time they have been separated for so long, and she asks about her father's return date every day.

"Your father wrote to say that he is on his way back to Beijing and will be back soon."

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ning were seated close to each other, and they vaguely heard their cousin mentioning their third uncle, and smiled to comfort Jiang Ning.

"Third uncle loves An An the most and will definitely come back soon. Just wait patiently."

After saying that, he looked up at Tang Bingxuan and complimented: "Third Aunt, I heard that Your Majesty's expedition went very smoothly. Third Uncle must have done a great job in escorting His Majesty back to Beijing safely."

"Then Third Aunt will lend you some good words."

Jiang Yuan smiled sweetly, "My niece will ask Third Aunt for a reward when the time comes."

Jiang Yuan is more skilled at pleasing people than her mother, Mei, and makes people sound happy.

Tang Bingxuan is not happy with her second sister-in-law Mei, but she always treats her niece Jiang Yuan with a smile.

Jiang Ning joked, "Sister Yuan, don't forget your sister when she asks for money from her mother."

Jiang Yuan's good temper should be "good", and the eldest sister is very tolerant of the younger sister.

Tang Bingxuan tapped Jiang Ning's forehead, "You are everywhere."

"Sister Yuan, if you have nothing to do, you can come to the third room to play with An An. You two sisters are the only ones in the house, keep each other company."

Tang Bingxuan is still willing to help Jiang Yuan wherever she can. After all, the senses this niece gives her are pretty good.

They are the second and third brothers of the Yongning Marquis Mansion. As long as their mother-in-law Qiao is alive, they are a family, and Tang Bingxuan will not refuse appropriate help.

Just like the second wife Jiang Shuyao's release, Jiang Shunian helped a lot, but he didn't say it explicitly.

Jiang Shunian followed Shengjia and quickly returned to Beijing amidst the expectations of his family.

The emperor had been away from Beijing for a few months, and the eldest prince followed the elders in handling state affairs very well. Several old ministers praised the emperor for his outstanding ability and fatherly manner.

Regardless of whether the veterans praised him sincerely or just followed suit, the Holy Emperor was indeed satisfied with his eldest son's performance.

He is not a king who regards imperial power as everything. He is more concerned about the ability of his successor.

"Your Majesty is doing well, I'm very relieved."

The eldest prince was generous and full of admiration, "Father has worked hard all the way, and it is the duty of a son to share his worries with his father."

The Holy Emperor was canonized as a prince when he was the same age as the eldest prince, but his abilities and methods were not as good as the eldest prince today.

The Holy Emperor watched his eldest son's pride rise leisurely, and thought of the queen and other children in the harem, and his heart became even more concerned.

The Holy One sympathizes with the fact that my minister has been away from home for many days. "Commander Jiang has worked hard to escort you all the way. I will go back to your home to see your family first. I will give you three days' leave." "When Mr. Rong Guo and others return to Beijing, I will hold a big banquet to celebrate your success." Reward." The Holy Emperor patted the eldest prince's shoulder and promised Jiang Shunian and others happily.

When the war is over, rewards should be given based on merit. The Holy Master knows the merits of those who followed him on the expedition.

Jiang Shunian had a lot of responsibilities. If he hadn't protected the Holy Lord back to the palace safely, he would have returned home to see his wife, children and family.

Now that His Majesty is considerate of His Majesty, Jiang Shunian was overjoyed and thanked His Majesty for his kindness, "My lord, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

……

When Jiang Shunian returned home, he first went to the main courtyard to visit his parents.

"Father, mother, the child is back."

"It's good to be back. It's good to be back safely." Mrs. Hou was very excited to see her youngest son whom she hadn't seen for many days.

Jiang Shunian was on an expedition as an escort, so he couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but his mother was worried about his son traveling thousands of miles away, so Mrs. Hou naturally worried about him every day.

Seeing Jiang Shunian's safe return, Mrs. Hou Qiao was so excited that she could not say more words.

Marquis Yongning never expected that the playboy who had once been so angry that he had headaches and chest tightness all day long would turn out to be the most promising among his sons.

Regardless of the past, Jiang Shunian was now considered a glorious figure. Marquis Yongning was pleased with his son but could not bear to lose face.

The long-term estrangement between father and son cannot be resolved in just one or two sentences. Marquis Yongning pretended to be calm and ordered, "Sit down."

Most of the people from the Yongning Houfu in Kyoto gathered in the main courtyard, and they all came to greet Jiang Shunian when he returned from the expedition with the Holy Master.

Marquis Yongning and Mrs. Hou discussed, "Today we will go back home in Shunian. Our family will have a reunion dinner and let the big kitchen prepare it well."

The Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao, respectfully replied to Marquis Yongning, "When my daughter-in-law received the news that her third brother was coming to the city, she asked the kitchen to prepare the banquet. Father, don't worry."

Their Yongning Marquis Mansion has been separated for twenty years. They usually eat in their own courtyards on weekdays. They only gather to eat together to catch the wind and wash away the dust or on important holidays.

When Marquis Yongning got older, he began to often recall the past. It was impossible not to regret the current situation where the couple was separated and the relationship between father and son was weak.

He had regretted it when his eldest son asked him to be crown prince, but the mistake was irreversible and he could only go on.

Regardless of his inner feelings, on the outside his sons are excellent and the whole Yongning Marquis Mansion is famous, and he is considered to have the dignity to go underground to meet his deceased father.

Jiang Ning leaned close to Jiang Shunian and whispered, "Father, my daughter and brother are thinking of you very much these days."

Jiang Zeyou, who was following his sister, nodded.

Jiang Shunian stroked his daughter's hair and looked lovingly at her daughter who was still as close to him as before. The corners of her mouth could not help but turn up.

Jiang Shunian looked at a pair of children and said warmly: "My father bought some gadgets for you brothers and sisters at the border and will send them to your yard later."

Jiang Zeyou stood silently beside his father and sister, and when he heard this, he laughed silently with his dimples.

Mei found an opportunity to intervene in the chat between Jiang Shunian and his son, "The third brother will go on an expedition with the Holy Master and will be rewarded soon. You are the only one among the brothers in our Marquis Mansion."

Jiang Shunian said calmly: "Second sister-in-law is joking, we brothers are all responsible for our responsibilities, there is no distinction between high and low."

Mei's face remained unchanged as she continued: "When mother and son returned to Beijing, your second brother lamented that he hadn't had a drink and chat with his eldest brother and third brother for a long time."

Jiang Shuheng suddenly answered, "Second brother and I thought of one thing. It's true that we three brothers haven't gotten together for a long time.

Next year it will be time for the second brother to return to Beijing to report on his work. Then we three brothers can have a good drink, haha. "
