The next day, before Shen Yi woke up, he was woken up by Lu Ruoxi.
Last night, I talked with Uncle Zhao almost all night, and came back to bed very late. According to Shen Yi's habit, he had to sleep in to regain his energy.
In the entire Shen family, only a few people dared to disturb his sleep.
The father, Shen Zhang, is naturally one, and the wife, Lu Ruoxi, is the other.
However, Lu Ruoxi would not delay his sleep on weekdays.
Mr. Shen woke up hazy, yawned, and said with sleepy eyes: "What's the matter, madam, are you calling me up so early?"
"You have no conscience."
Lu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and said softly: "Didn't you tell me a few days ago that the Ye family's sister is coming to Jiankang today? She is alone and comes from thousands of miles away. You don't go out of the city to greet her and are still sleeping at home. "
While looking for clothes for Shen Yi, the mistress of the Shen family said with a smile: "My husband is so sleepy. Fortunately, Your Majesty allows you to rest without going to court. Otherwise, it won't take long for you to be demoted and punished by the court."
Shen Yi looked up at the sky outside and shook his head helplessly: "Don't say she can't get to Jiankang until noon. There's no rush."
"Then it's time to get up."
Lu Ruoxi helped him get dressed and said softly: "My husband is out of the city to greet me. After all, she is also the daughter of a wealthy family. She has also done things for your majesty to make her more decent."
As she spoke, she had already helped Shen Yi get dressed, and after sending Shen Yi to the front yard, she said: "I won't leave, husband, be careful."
It was right for Lu Ruoxi not to go.
She is the mistress. No matter what Ye Chan's status is, there is no reason for her to go out of the city to meet Ye Chan.
Shen Yi can go to greet him, or even go out of the city to greet him and express his love. It doesn't matter, but Lu Ruoxi has already lost even if she takes a step out of the Shen family's door.
At most, when Ye Chan arrives, she goes to the front yard to greet her.
Shen Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Of course Madam can't go, I will go by myself."
With that said, he was about to go out.
Lu Ruoxi stepped forward and glanced sideways at Shen Yi.
"You haven't even eaten breakfast yet and you are in a hurry to go out. Why are you so anxious about this meal?"
Listening to her faint tone, Mr. Shen was a little confused.
Didn't you wake me up...
Thinking this in his heart, but not being able to say it, Shen Yi went to have breakfast obediently, and then left the Shen family in a carriage with his entourage.
In the carriage, Mr. Shen called Jiang Sheng, yawning, and asked: "Have those troublemaking scholars gone to Jiankang Mansion to file a complaint?"
Jiang Sheng lowered his head slightly and said, "Sir, according to your instructions, we have all been reported to Jiankang Mansion."
Shen Yi nodded and said calmly: "In the past few days, let the Di Newspaper Department publish a page about the causes and consequences of the Confucius family in Qufu, as well as what happened to the Confucius Temple."
"Clarify these nonsense rumors."
Jiang Sheng thought for a while and asked: "Sir, is the Diploma Newspaper Division under the control of our Diploma Newspaper Division?"
Mr. Shen glanced at him sideways and said angrily: "Find someone to write an article and send it to the Di Newspaper Company. How can your son's face be lost even if he prints an article in the Di Newspaper Company?"
Jiang Sheng quickly shrank his head.
"I understand, little one."
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the east gate of Jiankang.
Ye Chan and the others came from the north, but the north gate is generally not easy to enter, so most people enter and exit through the east gate.
After Shen Yi and others waited at the east gate for a while, near noon, they walked out of the city for another three to five miles, and finally saw a cavalry team not far away on the official road.
To be precise, there were more than ten people escorting a carriage.
After the carriage approached, the dozen or so people escorting them saw Shen Yi from a distance. They all stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, and bowed their heads respectfully: "Mr. Shen!"
Shen Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up. Then he looked at the carriage and said with a smile: "Chan'er, we have arrived in Jiankang."
The car curtain slowly opened.
A graceful woman poked her head out from inside.
She looked at Shen Yi, then looked up at Jiankang City not far away, quickly jumped off the carriage, and threw herself into Shen Yi's arms.
With this attack, everyone present, including Jiang Sheng, lowered their heads.
Shen Yi patted her back and chuckled: "What's wrong?"
Miss Ye hugged Mr. Shen's waist and burst into tears.
"miss you…"
The reason why she cried was, firstly, because she hadn't seen her for half a month, and secondly, because Shen Yi was able to go out of the city to meet her.
The concubine's status is very low. If Shen Yi can come out to welcome her, her status in the Shen family will be much higher in the future.
Shen Yi hugged her and didn't answer, just whispered: "Go home."
The big boss of the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce shrank his neck when he heard this, and he was visibly nervous: "Young master, sister..."
"rest assured."
Shen Yi said softly: "Qing...Mrs. has a gentle temperament, you will get along well."
Ye Chan nodded and pulled Shen Yi into the carriage.
The stove was lit in the carriage compartment, which made it a little warmer.
The two people were crowded in the carriage. Ye Chan and Shen Yi were talking about what they had seen on the road. Unknowingly, they had entered Jiankang City.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of Shen's house. Shen Yi got out of the car first, and then helped Ye Chan get out of the car.
Miss Ye, who was traveling in the business world in the southeast and Shen Yi in the north, raised her head and looked at the Jiangdu County Mansion in front of her, which had four gilded characters written on it. Her hands began to tremble involuntarily.
Obviously more nervous.
Shen Yi saw her nervousness and took her hand into Shen's house.
Just after entering the front yard, Lu Ruoxi, who also put on a new set of clothes, walked out of the back house with her son Shen Yuan. She first looked at Ye Chan from a distance, then greeted her with a smile on her face, and asked : "Is she the sister of the Ye family?"
The two of them are actually similar in age, and Ye Chan may even be older than Lu Ruoxi, but in the Shen family, Ye Chan can only be the younger sister.
Ye Chan took a deep breath, stepped forward to salute, and blessed Lu Ruoxi.
"Meet my sister."
Lu Ruoxi helped her up and said with a smile: "My sister is so tall, she is half a head taller than me."
"She is so beautiful, no wonder my husband likes her."
Ye Chan's face turned red with embarrassment: "Thank you for your sister, I am so beautiful. She is much prettier than I am."
After the two people praised each other, Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yuan aside and said, "Yuan'er, call me Auntie."
Shen Yuan was already six or seven years old at this time. In addition, he had received a lot of education since childhood and already knew etiquette very well. He bowed politely and said, "I have met my aunt."
Ye Chan looked at Shen Yuan, who looked like a miniature version of Shen Yi. She sighed softly: "This is the young master, he looks exactly like him."
While they were talking, everyone from the Shen family came forward one by one to get to know the eldest master's first concubine, including Shen Heng's wife Chen Youniang, and a group of maids.
After they all got to know each other, Lu Ruoxi took Ye Chan's sleeve and walked towards the inner courtyard. She said, "Sister, is it cold in this dress?"
Ye Chan quickly shook her head: "Sister, it's not cold."
"It just so happens that my father-in-law is at home today. I will take you to see your father-in-law."
"But my little uncle is a member of Zhongshushe. He is still on duty in the palace right now. I won't be able to see him until the afternoon."
"After the Chinese New Year, I will send someone to Fuzhou to observe the etiquette. I cannot wrong my sister."
Ye Chan was pulled by her and could only nod her head.
Shen Yi was planning to follow him, but as soon as he entered the back house, Jiang Sheng hurried over, lowered his head and said: "Sir, Dr. Chen sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he wants to see you."
"Mr. Chen?"
Mr. Shen frowned: "Which film is the doctor and what is his name?"
"Chen Yu, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs Examination."
Master Shen was startled when he heard this, and then thought of this former Jiangdu prefect and former student of Prime Minister Yang.
After the fall of Prime Minister Yang, he did not fall. Instead, he flourished in the officialdom and became more and more comfortable. Now he holds an important position in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Now, why does he suddenly want to see him?
Thinking of Cui Yu, whom he was not dealing with, Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
