Blessed

Chapter 85 Homecoming
Yuzhu ate all the nuts peeled by Shen Xian, and her stomach was full, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and looked up to see the man opposite her looking at her gently, but it was rare to see such a gentle side of him.The two haven't seen each other for five years, and they haven't seen much birth, Yuzhu talked to him, told him interesting things on the mountain, and said that the concubine was good to her.

Seeing that Shen Xian was listening intently, Yuzhu asked him about his recent situation, "How is Big Brother Shen? A Mei went up the mountain a few months ago, and she heard some things about you. She kept telling me that you were not married yet. Which girl does Big Brother like?"

She is a little curious, her elder brother, who grew up together, has a cold personality and a little cleanliness. She doesn't know what kind of girl she would like. She should be such a girl who is so talented, spotless, and looks like an exiled fairy.And she remembered that Shen Xian was seven or eight years older than her, so he was almost 23 now, and he was already at the age to say goodbye.

Yuzhu still remembers Shen Mei going up the mountain to chatter with her, "My eldest brother is also very strange. He should have said goodbye a few years ago, but he hasn't said anything until now. My aunt doesn't dare to take care of his business. The princess knows how to eat fast every day. Recite Buddha, and my father is thousands of miles away, so it's not like no one came to propose marriage, but he always rejected them all."

Shen Mei seemed even more anxious than his brother.

It was a little cold in late spring, the curtains were not opened, the carriage was a little dark, and some shadows cast on his face, which made Yuzhu feel that his expression was a little weird at the moment. Seeing him narrowing his eyes slightly, he heard him say, "This There is no rush."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about this topic, Yuzhu started talking about other things.

Someone accompanied her, time passed quickly, and when she entered the city, Yuzhu felt like returning to her home. From time to time, she lifted the curtain to take a look, and the palace chariot behind her followed closely. Go back to Jiangfu.

The carriage bypassed the bustling market, entered the alley, and soon stopped at the gate of the Jiang Mansion.

The Jiang family is different from five years ago. The mansion has been repaired. The front entrance of the Yongyihou Mansion has four large gold plaques with black background, the mighty stone lions on both sides, and the new, tall and heavy mahogany mansion gate. Extraordinary status.

Shen Xian sent Yuzhu out of the carriage, and watched her rush to the gate of the Jiang Mansion with the corner of her skirt in hand and knock the knocker. There was a dull knocking sound, and soon the side door next to it opened. It was an old woman of some age.Seeing this, he was a little distracted, looked carefully, and then woke up, and slapped his thigh, "Miss Si is back, it is Miss Si who is back."

The mother-in-law was overjoyed, she rushed to the mansion and called the servant girl to go to the main courtyard to pass the news to the owners of the houses, and she called the servants to help open the main door.Yu Zhu stood on the steps and looked back at Shen Xian, with a smile on her face, "Brother Shen, do you want to go in and sit down together?"

"No need." Shen Xian looked at her, "Just take you home, I still have something to go to the palace, you go in quickly."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then I will visit the door some other day, thank you Brother Shen today." After saying that, she nodded slightly and entered the gate with her bag.

Shen Xian stood straight on the spot like a pine tree, until the gate of the Jiang Mansion was slowly closed, then he turned around and got into the carriage, and ordered softly, "Go back to the palace."

The black-painted horse-drawn carriage slowly left the alley.

Jifang was startled when they heard the news of Yuzhu's return, it was too sudden.Mrs. Mu of the third room was flipping through the account book. Hearing what the little maid said, even the account book was accidentally swept to the ground, and hurriedly got up, "But really? Jiao Jiao really returned?"

The little servant girl said out of breath, "Going back to Madam, the fourth girl has really returned. I saw it with my own eyes. I'm afraid she has already entered the mansion and walked to the fish pond."

Mrs. Mu didn't even bother to put on a beige, so she wore a brocade shirt embroidered with Yuehua, pulled on her embroidered shoes and hurried out.It was still a bit chilly outside, so the maid beside her hurriedly picked up the beanie on the couch and followed her out, "Madam, it's still cold, put on the beanie..."

How could Mrs. Mu still hear these things, only one thought left, her beauty has come back, her beauty has finally returned, and she doesn't even know when tears will flow down her face.

The old lady in the main courtyard and the female relatives in the second bedroom of the main courtyard were all busy to meet people, and Mrs. Mu was the first to meet them. After seeing the slim girl in the corridor, Mrs. Mu's body trembled, "I My son, my son..." The voice was choked with sobs.

Yuzhu also cried, and she didn't even know that the tears had already flowed down, she threw herself into Mu's arms regardless of everything, "Mother, mother..."

The others also arrived, and seeing the mother and daughter like this made them a little sad.

In the past five years, a few more babies have been added to the mansion. The second sister-in-law of the second room, Sun Kejun, gave birth to a boy the year Yuzhu just left, and the third sister-in-law, Lu Shuyun, also gave birth to a boy in two years.

The Jiang family's great-grandchildren only have one girl, Rong, and the other three are all boys. They really have prosperous descendants, and because there is only such a great-granddaughter, the whole family loves Rong very much.

Sister Rong was only two years old when Yuzhu left, and now she is over seven years old. The half-old girl looks like her sister-in-law Zheng Xiuxiu. Seeing Yuzhu didn't give birth, so she followed her mother and called out to her little aunt, her voice was clear and clear, like a yellow warbler.

The other three little nephews, Jiang Jiaji, born to the second sister-in-law Sun Shi, are five years old, and they are well-fed.Jiang Jiaran, born to the third sister-in-law, was two years old, and was hugged by her wet nurse and followed Lu's side.

The youngest is Jiang Jiahan, who was born by sister-in-law Zheng Xiuxiu in December last year. She is only half a year old. Right now, she is holding her in her arms, wrapped tightly in a big ball, revealing a chubby face. Looking around wisely.

In the blink of an eye, there were three more nephews, and Yuzhu felt a little emotional in her heart.

The five-year-old fat dumpling Ji Geer was very shy, but under the guidance of Sun Shi, he went up and called out, "Little aunt." She was timid, like a little girl, and if the second brother Jiang Heng was afraid, he would reprimand him again. His, "You are a boy, you should look like a man, do things generously, you are not allowed to do this."

Brother Ran was only two years old, and Mrs. Lu hugged him and asked him to call someone, and he called little aunt foolishly, his voice was a little vague, and the child's speech was still a little unclear.

The old lady was also a little sad, and said, "Okay, I'm afraid Yuzhu is tired from the journey, so I hurried back to the main room and said, it's almost noon, and I happened to order the kitchen to make some delicious food."

A group of people surrounded Yuzhu and went to the main room. The men in the family were all in the yamen and only returned at night. Basically, there were only women left in the family, and the old man was also there.The old man is in good health and full of energy. He was a little excited when he saw Yuzhu, stroked his beard, and said repeatedly, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Going to the main room, a room full of people sat down, the Jiang Mansion has four generations living under the same roof, so it is certain that there are many people, the main room seems a bit crowded.

The whole family was reminiscing about the old days, and Sister Rong actually didn't have much impression of this little aunt. She was only two years old when she went to the Imperial Temple, so she couldn't remember anything. Aunt, just snuggle up next to Yuzhu and listen to her talk.

Brother Ji is shy and sits next to his mother, Sun. However, he likes Yuzhu and keeps calling Auntie and Auntie. He even reaches out to ask Yuzhu to hug him. Teeth smiled at her, Yuzhu picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for him to grind his teeth.

Brother Han, who was only half a year old, stretched out his hand when he saw it. He wanted everything and looked at everything at a fresh age.

There are only two unmarried girls left in the family, Yulan and Yuzhu. The second girl, Yuxiang, talked about her marriage a few years ago and got married, and Yulan's marriage is also being selected. She felt that the marriages chosen by her aunt Tao Shi were not very good, and she refused to agree to each of them, so it was delayed until she was almost seventeen years old.

Naturally, Yulan was also present at this moment. Ever since she saw Yuzhu in the corridor, she hasn't regained her senses. She followed everyone to the main room with a pale face, and huddled in the corner without saying a word.

Dow has not treated Yulan badly in the past few years, and has been very generous to her in terms of food and clothing.Because she has a good brother, even though Jiang Yan is a concubine and has a lonely and gloomy temperament, but he is not a bad person, and he listens to Tao Shi, and is grateful for Tao Shi's kindness to him. Keep this kindness in his heart, and he will repay Tao Shi .From Jiang Yan's point of view, Dow treated Aunt Hong and Yulan very well.

Back then, Jiang Yu was unwilling to take the imperial examination. When he got married, Dow asked him what he wanted to do. He was interested in doing business, so Dow gave him a shop and let him do it himself.

Jiang Rui didn't start the jewelry business with the family members, but started the fabric business, which was very successful. The business is definitely not as good as the several jewelry shops opened by Yuzhu, but it is not bad, and the monthly profit is not bad.

In this era, there is not much suppression on businessmen, and the children of the merchants' families are still able to obtain fame, but the emperor is also afraid that officials will use their power for personal gain, so they are not allowed to openly expand the business, like the Jiang family. A jewelry shop and a fabric shop are all fine.

It is true that Yuzhu only opened her jewelry shop in the capital city. There are only a few branch shops, and they do not spread all over the country. If they can be spread all over the country, they are all riches. Of course, Yuzhu can't compare with them.

How should I put it, it's all worth it.

Jiang Rui only opened such a cloth shop, and there was nothing else to do, Tao asked his brothers to help him, and found a free sesame official in the yamen, so his life was still very leisurely. .

In recent years, Dao has suppressed Aunt Hong, and she has not done anything excessive, but Jiang Anshan, the unreliable second master of Jiang, has had Brother Ji, but his two grandchildren have turned back and never looked back. Going out to hang out, teasing two brothers at home all day, and raising two starlings, life is very chic.

The second bedroom is living a very good life, and there is no trouble. Tao Shi looks younger than the previous few years.

The big house is also worry-free, the Lin family is in charge, the elder Jiang Anwen is an official in the court, he is honest and self-disciplined, his sons and daughters are obedient, his daughter is a queen in the palace, his son is a person close to the emperor, and he has grandchildren. , the day can be said to be very happy.

The Mu family in the third room is a little worried. None of Yuzhu's three brothers are married yet. Chen Yue'e has helpers.

On the whole, the life of the Jiang family is very good, the family is harmonious, and life is happy. It is really difficult to find such a harmonious family with three bedrooms like the Jiang family.

Originally, when Jiang Anwen became the lord, the Jiang family should be separated, but they are used to living together as a family, so they didn't talk about the separation.

Yuzhu looked at the whole room full of family members, feeling very satisfied. She hugged Ran and talked about the things on the mountain. She only picked happy and interesting things to say, and there was indeed nothing bad. The days on the mountain were still very happy. He also talked about the kindness of the concubine to her, "I thought, the concubine does not want to go down the mountain, and she is quite lonely in the mountain. I will go to the mountain to accompany the concubine for two days every other month. Mother, what do you think?"

This is what it should be, and the Jiang family understands it very well, Mu said, "This is what it should be." Her eyes were still a little red, and her voice was slightly choked.
