Chapter 567: The Champion Returns to His Hometown (Third Update)
Shen Xi completed his errand in Quanzhou, and took the envoy Almeida and others on the road, saying that it was an escort, but in fact it was an escort, Liu Jin would not go with Shen Xi, Liu Jin went to Yingtianfu via Fuzhou, and waited for Shen Xi to return to his hometown and return to the province, and then returned north to the capital with Shen Xi.
Shen Xi could have handed over Almeida to Liu Jin, but Liu Jin was not very reliable, once Almeida escaped halfway, or if something accident happened, Shen Xi's trip to the emperor would be unfinished.
Mi Lu and Song Laoyue knew that Shen Xi was rich and wanted to follow him to Tingzhou to fight the autumn breeze, but these two greedy people who were afraid of death did not get Shen Xi's trust, Shen Xi gave them dozens of taels of silver and sent them to escort Liu Jin to Nanjing first.
As for Yu Niang, she continued to stay in Quanzhou to handle her "anti-grain case", and did not plan to revisit her hometown in western Fujian.
“…… I'm so worried, you remember to mention our family affairs to your mother after you go back, and your attitude should be sincere, so that your mother thinks that you have to marry me, and you must act quickly, otherwise your mother may not agree when she turns around. ”
Lin Dai has her little Jiujiu, in her mind, when Shen Xi first returned home, Zhou's heart was full of warmth because he missed his son, and his ears were soft, and it was not necessary to wait for a few days, and "forced marriage" should be done as soon as possible.
For this, Shen Xi agreed.
Seeing that Xiao Nizi has always been concerned about marriage, what he can do is to let Lin Dai relax, in fact, he also knows that now that Lin Dai is allowed to get started, he can only be a concubine, and the Zhou family will only feel indebted to this child daughter-in-law who has been raised like a daughter since childhood, how can he refuse?
The only resistance now may come from Lee.
However, with the consistent style of the Li family, whoever contributes a lot to the family is the uncle, and now that he has married a virtuous and capable Xie Yun'er as his wife, he wants to take a concubine, and the Li family has no need to get along with himself at all.
At this point, Lin Dai was completely worried.
The letter that Shen Xi was about to return to his hometown was sent back to Tingzhou through the post post, because the post post had a fast horse to carry the message, and the letter could arrive home much earlier, so that the family could be prepared.
In order to show his respect for Lord Qincha, Zhang Lian, the prefect of Quanzhou, sent a few people to escort Shen Xi along the way, led by Zhang Laowu.
followed a rigid boy who refused to accept bribes and money, traveled to western Fujian and the capital, and traveled thousands of miles back and forth, what is not drudgery?
But for Zhang Lao Wu and the others, they didn't feel bitter at all, and even felt that Zhang Lian was "reasonable", giving them the opportunity to continue to run errands with Shen Xi.
In Zhang Lao Wu's words, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!
"What do you have to say, just arrange for the small ones to do it, if you say a word, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not hesitate......"
Zhang Lao Wu was originally just messing around in the Quanzhou Mansion, and he never thought that he would have a bright future, and he didn't dare to think about it, but since he followed Shen Xi to attack the Franc machine man in the middle of the night and robbed the Franc man's warship, he was respected everywhere he went.
Look, this is Zhang Bantou who followed Qin to fight the Franc machine devil......
It seems that overnight, Zhang Laowu's ambition has been stimulated, and his worship of Shen Xi has reached the point of no return, and he has offered Shen Xi as an ancestor all the way.
Shen Xi got on the carriage without a stool, he immediately went over to let Shen Xi step on it, Shen Xi wanted to get off the car, he personally went up to help, and when he encountered a mountain road that was not easy to walk, he called a few brothers and carried Shen Xi and Lin Dai with a sliding rod that had been prepared a long time ago. Along the way, he must go to the post station first, serving tea and water is very attentive, taking turns to keep vigil at night, cheering up the spirit of twelve points, for fear that the Francophone will run away, and afraid that which thief who does not open his eyes will be unfavorable to Lord Qincha.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Lao Wu was a little too diligent to Shen Xi, and even his own father may not be like this, but Zhang Lao Wu was willing from the bottom of his heart.
Finally, on the morning of the second day of the third lunar month, Shen Xi set foot in Changting County by land. There is still some distance from Fucheng, Hui Niang has already taken the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Li family to greet the Shen family at the official pavilion in the south of the city, and the government sent someone to the official pavilion to greet him, saying that the prefect Bao Kai would personally visit the Shen family after that.
"Shichiro, my grandson, come and show my grandmother! Oh, what a grandmother's grandson. ”
When she saw Shen Xi from afar, Zhou was already wiping her tears, but before she stepped forward to say goodbye to her son, the old lady Li had already stolen the limelight from her and her husband.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, the Li family, supported by the two granddaughters-in-law, Lu and Xie Yun'er, took the initiative to welcome the official pavilion and walked towards Shen Xi.
Originally, with Zhou's legs and feet, she could get ahead of the old lady in a few steps, but there were many onlookers and villagers next to her, and she was embarrassed to fight with her elders.
It's satisfying to see her son return safely, and as for being in the limelight, the old lady likes to give it to her.
The old lady doesn't care, huh!
Shen Xi's carriage was driven by Song Xiaocheng, and after entering the boundary of Changting County, he did not continue to nest in the carriage, but sat on the frame outside.
Li smiled, stretched out his hand to help Shen Xi up, and then Shen Xi kowtowed to Shen Mingjun and Zhou.
Zhou was so happy that his mouth was about to laugh, and he proudly listened to the envy and admiration of the people next to him: "Look, this is Zhuang Yuanlang, the number one filial son of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to good learning, the most important thing is to have filial piety, which is the foundation of a person's life, or in other words, you can be a mediocre person who has no talent, but you can't ignore filial piety, otherwise you will be in vain.
Shen Xi kowtowed, Shen Mingjun and his wife helped him up, Shen Xi raised his head and looked at his parents, the joy on Shen Mingjun's face needless to say, but he didn't know how to express it, he just kept having fun. As for Zhou, his face was a little complicated, as if he was happy and slightly disappointed.
Mother, mother, is your son still not satisfied with winning the champion?
Do you want me to be a first-class court official or an emperor to be satisfied?
The Li family came over to ask for warmth, and the people next to him also gathered around, but Shen Xi's eyes were looking for two people, one was Xie Yun'er, and the other was Hui Niang.
This is what he remembered very much on the way home from the capital.
Hui Niang knew each other and knew that this was a family affair of the Shen family, and the family was reunited, so she, an outsider, should not be too involved.
As for Xie Yun'er, she has been supporting the Li family, and when she saw Shen Xi coming back, she was ashamed and happy in her heart, and the joy came from the bottom of her heart, and the husband and wife reunited after a long absence...... As for the shame, she thought of the nourishing remedies that the Li family gave her, as well as her mother, Li and others who told her to pester her husband after Shen Xi came back and stay for the Shen family as soon as possible.
"Champion Lang is filial piety, good character, good learning, dignified appearance, dragon and phoenix among people......"
When Shen Xi met the neighbors who came out to greet him accompanied by Li and Shen Mingjun, the voice of praise came as scheduled, but it was just a few words.
In the past, it was a dragon and a phoenix in the future, but now it is an adult in the dragon and phoenix!
Seeing that Shen Xi was surrounded by people and hearing the praise of others, Wang didn't feel good in his heart: "You don't come to salute my eldest aunt, what's the big deal?" Isn't it just a champion, a companion is like a tiger, once you offend the emperor, see what else you have to show off your might! ”
But her husband and son don't seem to be on the same front with her at this time, and they actually take the initiative to get close to the "enemy", and Shen Yongzhuo is just that, that is her "uncompetitive" son, who doesn't understand human feelings, but Shen Mingwen also goes up to what does it mean?
Didn't you say at home that you could come out with the old lady, but you must keep your distance from the people in the room?
Obviously, Shen Mingwen is very "pragmatic", no matter how close his daughter-in-law is, he can't bring him fame and fortune, Shen Xi is different, even if Shen Xi is now the sixth grade, he will be released as a prefect in the future.
Shen Xi didn't notice Shen Mingwen who was showing off his talent with his face on his face, because Shen Xi habitually ignored his words.
"Champion Lang is going home!"
After seeing all the relatives and neighbors, Shen Xi went into the city and went home.
But at this time, Shen Xi couldn't take the carriage, but had to walk all the way, and saw that no one was paying attention to the Zhou family before he walked to Shen Xi's side, and complained slightly: "You don't know that you come back in an official uniform to give my wife a long face." ”
Only then did Shen Xi know why Zhou looked a little disappointed before, it turned out that he was not wearing an official uniform. It is true that he is a six-rank court official, but he can't wear an official uniform to swagger through the market.
"Mother, I went to Quanzhou this time to do the emperor's errand, and there are many occasions where I need to wear official uniforms, and after a long time, I will be covered with a layer of dust, and when I return home, let Dai'er wash and fold it and put it in the baggage...... If you want to see it, I'll go back and wear it for you. Shen Xi said with a smile.
Zhou scolded in a low voice: "Phew, what's the use of you going back to wear it?" Others can't see it...... Don't wear it after you go back, take out the official uniform and touch it to your mother, who has never touched the official uniform in her life. ”
Shen Xi entered the city surrounded by the crowd.
Back at the gate of the Shen family, entering the courtyard, there were two naughty ghosts who were mischievous, the small one was thrown a head of sand by the big one, and the big one was "giggling" and laughing like a little hen.
Zhou Shi suddenly became angry when he saw this situation, and went up and slapped him on the big head: "How many times have you said that you are not allowed to bully your brother, my mother just made new clothes for your brother, what has become of it in just a while?" ”
Shen Yi'er is not very old, but she is a ghost, and she doesn't cry when she is beaten by her mother, she just sticks out her tongue mischievously, looking at Shen Xi and feeling a little strange.
Children, I don't remember who you are if I haven't seen you for a while, even if Shen Yi'er is smart and clever, she just feels that Shen Xi seems to have seen her somewhere, Xiao Nizi tilted her head and looked at Shen Xi for a while, until Zhou pulled her and Shen Yun to Shen Xi's side: "This is your eldest brother, come and salute your eldest brother!" ”
The old lady Li was originally very happy, but her face sank at this time.
When I arrived at the house, the neighbors and the people of Fucheng who followed were watching, and suddenly found that the little granddaughter was bullying the little grandson, so it didn't matter, the bullying was bullying, anyway, Shilang was stupid to death, and he could still feel at ease when he was bullied by his sister, which just shows that Zhou, a mother, will not discipline her children.
But the problem is that now the Zhou family actually asked the two sisters and brothers to call Shen Xi "big brother", where will Shen Yongzhuo and the other third-generation descendants of the Shen family be placed?
The Wang family waited for a long time, and finally waited for the Zhou family to make a mistake, and was very happy in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Brother and sister, this is yours, isn't it, your son is Qilang, shouldn't he be called Qige?" ”
Shen Yun and Shen Yi'er were confused at this time, and their mother told them many times that they had a big brother who was very capable, and they could live a good life with their eldest brother in the future, where did a seventh brother appear now?
Shen Yi'er glared at her innocent eyes and asked, "Mother, is it the eldest brother or the seventh brother?" ”
