The housekeeper was also confused and hurried out to inquire.
This New Year’s Eve dinner ended hastily because of the strange situation on Mrs. Bai’s side.
When the housekeeper passed by, he saw Mrs. Bai leaning on the bed, her eyes dull and silently crying.
Mama Li’s old and numb face showed no unnecessary expression, and she stood respectfully aside.
The housekeeper didn't know how to ask for a while, so he stepped forward and said cautiously: "Madam, the kitchen has prepared a meal for you, what do you think?"
Nanny Li said coldly: "Madam has a bad appetite, but the housekeeper should go back first."
The housekeeper left with doubts.
Nanny Li advised: "Madam, let's not say whether what the man in black said is true or not. The Zhu family is now at its peak, and Zhu Yixuan is not here, so you have no way to verify it. Besides, Zhu Yixuan is very skilled. We We can’t kill him either.
The young lady is still in charge of the house now, so we can’t do anything!”
Ms. Liu’s face was expressionless, and she couldn’t listen to any persuasion at all.
At the same time, a caravan of about a hundred people slowly entered Zhaohua County.
The exquisite convoy separated from the caravan halfway and drove slowly to the gate of Zhu's Mansion before stopping.
After the concierge saw the person clearly, he rushed into the house excitedly and shouted, "The eldest son is back! The eldest son is back!"
Zhu Yixuan helped Cen Mingzhu get out of the carriage, "Slow down. Click."
Cen Mingzhu smiled with satisfaction and looked at the house in front of her, "Is this your home?"
Zhu Yixuan said dotingly: "This is our home."
Cen Mingzhu raised her chin proudly and strode up the steps beside Zhu Yixuan.
Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were so happy to see their son come back with his noble daughter-in-law.
He set off firecrackers and notified the Zhu family relatives. He wanted to let everyone in the county know that the Zhu family had married a woman with a prominent family background.
"My Pearl, although you have already held a wedding at the border, not many people here know that you are married. I am thinking about organizing a make-up wedding for you after the first month. How about it?" Mrs. Zhu She looked at Cen Mingzhu thoughtfully, as much as she wanted to be considerate.
Cen Mingzhu was quite satisfied with Zhu Yixuan, and the Zhu family was indeed richer than she thought, so she nodded obediently and agreed.
Mrs. Zhu smiled from ear to ear and immediately asked someone to prepare wedding invitations.
Zhu Yixuan looked at Cen Mingzhu distressedly, and said warmly: "You have worked hard on the journey, and you have worked hard too. I will ask my entourage to take you back to rest, and come back later after dinner. How about that?"
Cen Mingzhu had this intention and immediately left with the maid.
When Mrs. Zhu saw the person leaving, she immediately jumped up for joy, "Son, it's in your favor. By marrying such a golden phoenix, our Zhu family will definitely reach a higher level!"
Zhu Yixuan was a little helpless, "Mom, I know you are happy, but you don't have to show it so obviously. I am now the commander-in-chief of the capital. Logically speaking, I cannot leave the military camp easily. Fortunately, the war is over, and my father-in-law is still in charge at the border. I will come back for a while. There is no problem with the time, but I have to leave after spring begins."
"So soon?" Mrs. Zhu was reluctant to give up, but she also knew that her son's future was important and she did not try to keep him.
Zhu Yixuan nodded helplessly and asked: "Mom, how did you arrange the Ke's mother and son?"
Speaking of Ke Yunyun, Mrs. Zhu's expression became much lighter, "I thought she would follow. After you gave birth to a child for our Zhu family, you gave her the land deed in Pingzhou, and also gave her a sum of money, hoping that their mother and son would have someone to rely on in the future, but the woman did not bring her I took the child to Pingzhou and didn’t touch anything there. I don’t know where to hide!”
Zhu Yixuan frowned, “Isn’t she still determined?”
Mrs. Zhu shook her head, "Probably not. I watched her leave Zhaohua County with my own eyes that day. Our Zhu family's spies are all in the city. If she really comes back, would I know?"
< br>"That's good!" Zhu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Zhu seriously reminded: "Ke's mother and son have nothing to do with you anymore. You are not allowed to mention them again in the future, so as not to ruin the relationship between you and Cen." Mrs. Zhu believed deeply, "Also Mrs. Cui, I asked her to go to Fucheng. Mrs. Cen knows her details, so she doesn’t need to care too much.”
After all, she didn’t treat Cui badly and was not afraid of Cui making trouble.
Seeing that his parents had arranged things in an orderly manner, Zhu Yixuan felt completely at ease, and then asked about Shen Yi and the others.
Mr. Zhu was obviously very concerned, "I also want to ask you at this time, why they were rewarded by the emperor without being appointed officials, and there was a plaque. Do we have any in our family?"
The couple looked at Zhu Yixuan expectantly. .
Zhu Yixuan shook his head.
The couple's disappointment was visible to the naked eye.
Zhu Yixuan explained: "My military merit was changed to an official position. They did not want to grant me an official position, so the emperor gave me another reward."
"That's it." Mr. Zhu suddenly realized and sighed: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Although the emperor's reward is hard to come by, promotion is even more difficult. As long as you are an official, there will be opportunities for meritorious service and rewards in the future. It doesn't matter. What a pity.”
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she was relieved.
Seeing that they could understand, Zhu Yixuan felt much better from his depressed mood.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Mom and dad, give them a copy of the invitation as well."
Master Zhu nodded, "I understand."
The day of the second grade of junior high school.
Shen Yi led the whole family to Dongmen Village.
Su Chunlin had already put the roasted whole lamb on the shelf. As soon as the carriage arrived near Su's house, Su Tai and others could smell the strong aroma of roasted whole lamb.
Shen Yi quickly put Su Tai and the children down and parked the carriage.
As soon as the family entered the yard, they were surprised by the roasted whole lamb in the row next door.
"Father-in-law, how many sheep have you roasted?" Shen Yi was shocked.
Su Chunlin, who was busy at work, laughed loudly, "These are all ordered by others. There are twenty-five in total. The sheep were killed on New Year's Eve and marinated for two days. They are particularly delicious. There are two It’s just reserved for you, you can eat it in two hours.”
Shen Yi immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
Su Tai took the child and hid in the main room.
Shen Yuezhang and the others met Su Feng and the others, and they quickly got together. There were a lot of snacks and snacks on the table, so they could have a great time without adults having to worry about them.
Su Tai glanced at the children and ignored them, chatting with Ruan Xiaoyu.
After a while, Wan and Huang also came to visit, and the house was as lively as a market.
Su Tai was still wondering why their family was so popular this year. She learned that all these families had ordered roasted whole lamb, and the case was solved.
On the second day of the second grade of junior high school, Shen Yi and his family ate and drank at Su Chunlin's place. The next day, they were pulled over by Su Chunsen for a meal. When they wanted to leave, they were stopped by Su Changxi and insisted on living in Dongmen Village. It took three days to get home.
Fortunately, all the livestock in the family were left to the care of Mrs. Xu, otherwise they would have starved to death.
When Mrs. Xu saw them coming back, she hurriedly went to the door and took out an invitation, "A steward sent it when you were away. He said he was from the Zhu family in the county."
"The Zhu family?"
The couple looked at each other, Shen Yi was illiterate, so Su Tai read it out (end of chapter)
