Chapter 165 They are my relatives, not enemies!
As soon as the two returned home, they were warmly welcomed by their family.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is a brocade robe for you."
Two sets of gorgeous satin cotton clothes were taken out of the bag and handed to them.
The old couple have been wearing coarse cotton-padded clothes since they were exiled. Now when they see such bright materials, they can’t bear to look away.
"Yuan Jing, this material must be very expensive, right?" Mrs. Shen looked at it with a look of reluctance. She didn't dare to touch the satin directly for fear of getting dirty and hooking it. Hands touch.
Shen Yuanjing smiled and said: "No, the most valuable things now are food and charcoal fire. No one buys silk and satin, so it is only a little more expensive than coarse cotton clothes!"
This is the truth. Now that the safety of food and clothing comes first, and the situation in the county is unclear, the owner of the silk and satin shop wishes he could quickly dispose of the silk and satin at a low price and buy more coarse cloth.
In the current situation, even the rich households in the county are scrimping on food and clothing, and even those who are afraid of showing off have put on coarse cotton clothes. No one buys silk and satin, and the color will not be bright after being stored for a long time. It's not as strong as coarse cloth. It's just that ordinary people can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't buy it!
Although Mrs. Shen is happy in her heart, her recent hard life has made her nagging habitually.
"Don't spend money randomly in the future. These two sets of clothes can buy a lot of food and charcoal."
The main reason is that Dongchuan is so cold in this damn place, and cotton-padded clothes made of satin are not as warm as those made of coarse cloth!
Shen Yuanxu smiled and said: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about money and food anymore, the eldest sister has been promoted again!"
After saying this, there was an eerie silence, and everyone in the room had strange expressions.
Shen Yuanjing and Shen Yuanxu could see it.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Shen Yuanxu finished speaking, Shen Congwen snorted coldly, pushed the door open and went out with a dark face.
The cold wind blew in the door, making Mrs. Shen look unhappy, and the others also looked bad.
Ms. Liu reluctantly ran over and closed the door. As she walked in small steps, she muttered: "Brother, it's true that even if you have a temper, you can't let it out on us! This damn weather is terrible. Don’t give us all a chill!”
Mrs. Shen’s face turned even darker.
Shen Yuanjing's eyes flashed and he asked: "Grandma, is my father angry with my eldest sister again?"
Mrs. Shen had a dark face and said angrily: "Ignore him, he's too full!"
Ms. Liu urged with bright eyes: "Yuan Jing, you just said that Lan Xi has been promoted again." ? What official position does she hold now?"
Shen Yuanjing glanced at the door, turned away and raised his lips: "My eldest sister is still the commander of the six counties, and my second uncle is now in charge of recruiting troops, and he holds the general flag. The eldest sister is still taking care of our Shen family!”
This is what Mrs. Liu wanted to hear, and she immediately became happy.
"Really? Why didn't your second uncle come back? Turns out he is an official? When your father was in charge of the household department, he didn't even recruit your second uncle to be promoted. Lan Xi still has the ability! "
Although Mrs. Shen didn't like what Liu said, she felt happy again when she thought that her second son was also a centurion.
"Yuan Jing, Yuan Xu, what are your current official positions?"
The two looked at each other and smiled sheepishly. Shen Yuanjing pushed Shen Yuanxu, your mother, you answer .
Shen Yuanxu deliberately cleared his throat and said in a straight tone: "Mother, my son is now a centurion. Yuan Jing and Yuan Kun are both, and we have more than two hundred people under our control. ”
Ms. Liu was even more happy.
"Son, that's great. I didn't expect you to be incapable of studying. It turns out you are in the wrong profession. If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to join the army!"
The corner of Shen Yuanxu's mouth twitched, as expected of his own mother.
"Mother, I originally wanted to join the army, but there is no way at home."
Ms. Liu nodded repeatedly: "That's true."
Mrs. Shen looked down at Mrs. Liu At a glance, she hadn't asked this talkative person yet.
The two of them began to take things out of their bags and distribute gifts to their families. "Third and fourth uncles, this is a jade pendant for you. Younger brothers and sisters, this is a red hairpin and inkstone for you..."
Mrs. Shen looked at the happy family and was happy. Incredible!
"Yuanjing Yuanxu, why don't you give your mother anything?" Miao asked.
The two of them froze, and before they could answer, Mrs. Liu had already rushed in front of Mrs. Miao.
"Yes, you can't do it without me. Brother and sister, please give me the Zhu Chai in your hand!"
Miao's smile froze and she began to look at him.
"Second sister-in-law, both of your children have become successful. Do you still have little to honor you in the future? This is the child's honor to me. I can't offend the children!" After saying that, he directly inserted his hair. Once she got it, I couldn’t believe that Mr. Liu had the nerve to pull it out of her hair!
"Okay, the children finally came back. If you dare to make trouble, see how I deal with you!" Mrs. Shen scolded with a straight face!
Shen Congyi glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, which was of fair quality, and put it away.
"Yuanjing, I heard that there were murders in Fuchun and Wujin counties yesterday?"
Shen Yuanjing's face turned pale, he has adapted a lot now, if before, he would have been retching. Twice.
“Killed, chopped two, looked at forty or fifty, and many of them were taken into slavery as soldiers!”
The Shen family’s faces turned pale. Although they were in Hongliu Tun , but everyone has heard about it.
"Really?" Shen Congyi asked solemnly.
Shen Yuanjing nodded: "Really, I was the one who went to prison in Fuchun County at that time. It was supposed to be a thousand cuts, but the executioner was not good at his craftsmanship. With more than three hundred cuts, the person was completely dead!"
Shen Congyi raised his head and looked at his nephew who didn't even frown. The thoughts that had just emerged stopped again.
Mrs. Shen felt that it was too unlucky and quickly changed the subject.
"When will your second uncle and the others come back?"
"These days, Xiumu is taking turns to arrange things. The second uncle is in charge of recruiting troops, and his responsibilities are important, so he may have to stay behind!"
Liu Shile seemed to have gotten a big deal, and said with a smile: "It's okay to stay back~" which made Mrs. Shen roll her eyes again.
The Shen family members all tacitly agreed not to mention Shen Lanxi. When they returned to their rooms, they closed the door and whispered!
"Yuan Xu, did Lan Xi treat you differently from Yuan Jing and the others?" Mrs. Liu.
"Master, why don't you let Yuan Peng and Yuan Hao go too?" Miao.
"Master, can't we just let Lan Xi only control the second bedroom and leave our fourth bedroom alone?" Tian was jealous and anxious.
None of the Shen family had a good rest tonight.
Early on the next morning, several people quietly took their bags and stood guard outside Shen Yuanjing's room.
......
"Sister, the third uncle is here with Yuanpeng Yuanhao, Yuantang Yuanxin and Yuanruan are also here!" Shen Yuanjing said bravely.
Shen Lanxi was reading the official document and said without raising her head: "Go back to Liu Yan and let him arrange it!"
Shen Yuanjing went out and came back after a while.
"Big sister..." He didn't expect them to follow him.
Shen Lanxi put down the official document and looked at her eldest brother who had his head lowered.
"As long as they play their part and do their jobs well, I won't stop them from coming!"
Shen Yuanjing has a lot of things in his stomach, but he doesn't know how to say them out.
"Sister, are you really not angry with them?"
Shen Lanxi felt relaxed and said with a smile: "They are my relatives, not enemies, how can I be angry?"
