After Shen Yi received his two subordinates, he was about to take them out for a walk. He first went into the back room to change into clothes for going out. He happened to encounter Lu Ruoxi holding the child. Seeing Shen Yi walk in, Lu Ruoxi glanced at him and whispered softly. Asked: "I heard from Lian'er that someone is coming to the house. He is your subordinate in the southeast. Does it matter? Should I go out and see him?"
Shen Yi glanced at little Shen Yuan who had just fallen asleep, and said with a smile: "Since my son is asleep, you can go out and meet him, otherwise they might mutter in their hearts and think that I am getting angry with them."
"Um."
Lu Ruoxi stood up, changed into something familiar, and followed Shen Yi to the front yard. At this moment, two thousand households were waiting under the pavilion in the Shen family's front yard. The maid Ping'er was standing outside the pavilion, very curious. Talk to these two thousand households.
The main question is how they fought against Japanese pirates in the southeast.
The two maids, Qing'er and Ping'er, have been with Shen Yi for a long time. They have grown up with Shen Yi. Naturally, they are very curious about the fact that their young master, a scholar, went to sea to suppress Japanese pirates.
Xue Wei was not married yet and was thin-skinned. He was hesitating and speechless. However, Ling Su could hold up the scene and talked to Ping'er with a smile. However, they were both from Taizhou Prefecture and spoke in Mandarin. It was very ordinary. Shen Yi could understand it after spending time with them for a long time, but Ping'er was confused and sometimes scratched her head.
Seeing Shen Yi and Lu Ruoxi walking over, Ping'er bowed to the two of them and ran away with a smile.
Ling Su and Xue Wei also quickly stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and saluted Shen Yi and Lu Ruoxi: "I have met Mr. Shen, and I have met Madam."
Xue Wei also shouted again.
This was the first time Lu Ruoxi heard this title. She first looked at the two people in surprise, then glanced at her husband-in-law, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I heard someone call him that, it's quite novel. Two thousand people don’t need to be polite."
She stretched out her hand to help him, then smiled and said: "I heard from my husband that the reason why he was able to run his business smoothly in the southeast was mostly due to the help of the two thousand households."
Mrs. Shen bowed slightly and saluted: "I can't help you in Jiankang, so I would like to thank you two Qianhu here."
Ling Su and Xue Wei quickly bowed their heads deeply.
"Madam, you are serious. The two of us rely entirely on Mr. Shen for support."
Shen Yi stood aside with a faint smile on his face, but he was still feeling quite embarrassed.
Although the title "Mr. Shen" brought him some trouble in front of the emperor, it gave him great face in front of his wife.
After some pleasantries, Mr. Shen waved to his wife and said with a smile: "They are both coming back to Jiankang for the first time. It is still early. I will take them out for a walk and buy some things. My wife will prepare them at home." Wine and food, the two Qianhu will have dinner at home tonight."
Lu Ruoxi nodded, then glanced at Shen Yi with a smile, and said half-jokingly: "Go out for a walk, but don't go to the Qinhuai River."
Shen Yi coughed.
"What Madam said, why would my husband go to a place like that?"
Lu Ruoxi smiled without saying a word and sent the three men out of the door.
After leaving the house and walking around the street, Xue Wei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Shen Yi and said: "The ladies in this capital are different. A young and promising big shot like you, in our Taizhou Prefecture, is the mother-in-law at home. I dare not express my anger, let alone discipline me."
Ling Su on the side smiled and said: "A woman like the one you mentioned is not worthy of Mr. Shen."
"Okay, stop trying to flatter me."
Shen Yi was walking at the front, but he stopped when he heard the words, looked back at the two people, and said with a smile: "It's your first time in Jiankang, do you want to go for a walk along the Qinhuai River?"
Xue Wei smiled and stopped talking.
Ling Su was eager to give it a try, but he still said: "Sir, Madam just explained..."
"I'm going to have a drink, listen to music, and show you the beauty of Qinhuai, that's all."
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at the two of them.
"You have to face the Holy Spirit tomorrow. Be more energetic. Whatever you really want to do, I can't take you there."
Ling Qianhu smiled and nodded: "In this case, we and you will go see the world..."
Xue Wei chuckled and followed the two people, walking quickly.
……………………
In the afternoon of that day, the three men had a good look at Qinhuai Fengyue at the bank of the Qinhuai River. In the evening, Shen Yi arranged for them to have a drink at his home, but the two men were unwilling to live in the Shen family.
This is understandable, after all, Shen Yi doesn't have the reputation of being a diplomat.
In the early morning of the next day, before it got dark, the two Qianhu men had already put on the official uniforms of military commanders and were waiting at the door of Shen's house in a polite manner.
At this time, Mr. Shen had not yet woken up. When he was woken up by Lian'er, he walked sleepily to the front yard and saw two subordinates. Mr. Shen yawned and said angrily: "This is the moment." What time is it? Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Xue Wei was a little confused and turned to look at Ling Su in confusion.
Obviously, Ling Su brought him here early in the morning.
Xue Qianhu lowered his head and smiled in embarrassment: "My lord, I heard that the time to go to court is very early. The adults in Beijing will be waiting at the gate of Deqing Palace before dawn. I am afraid of being delayed. It's your business, so I've been waiting here for a long time..."
"That's the Great Court Meeting..."
Shen Yi slapped his forehead and felt helpless: "I blame me for not making it clear to you yesterday."
"The Great Court Meeting is held once every ten days. Today is not the day for the Great Court Meeting, and..."
Mr. Shen glanced at the two people and said helplessly: "Besides, we are not attending a court meeting to consecrate the saints, but we are going to see His Majesty alone."
"Forget it."
Master Shen yawned: "You guys wait for me here for a while, I'll go change into my official uniform."
Ling Qianhu was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "Sir, how about you sleep a little longer?"
"We are not in a hurry..."
Xue Wei also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are not in a hurry. Sir, please go and sleep for a while..."
"can not fall asleep."
Shen Yi glanced at the two people, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is one more thing that I wanted to tell you yesterday, but since you just came here yesterday, I didn't have the nerve to say it."
The two people looked at each other and lowered their heads: "My lord, please advise."
Master Shen said in a deep voice: "Jiankang is Jiankang, Jiankang is not the capital."
"Both of you call Jiankang the capital."
"Such words..."
Mr. Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "If you say the same thing after meeting His Majesty, Your Majesty will be unhappy."
"And it's not just His Majesty who doesn't like to hear it."
Mr. Shen turned his back and left: "I don't like to hear it either."
After he said this, he went back to the back room to change clothes.
Two thousand households stood in the front yard of Shen's house, looking at each other again.
Both of them felt a cool breeze blowing through them, sending chills down their spines...
…
Soon, Mr. Shen, who had changed into a fifth-grade official uniform, walked out of the back room. He took his two subordinates and got on his carriage. The carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city. After Shen Yi revealed his identity, he took the two subordinates with him. Thousands of households successfully entered the imperial city.
After entering the imperial city, the two people looked east and west, curious about everything in the imperial city.
Shen Yi didn't care about them, but took them all the way to the gate of the palace city, and then bowed his hands to the palace guards.
"Sorry to inform you."
Master Shen looked calm.
"Shen Yi of the Ministry of War was ordered to lead the anti-Japanese army, Thousand Households Lingsu, and the anti-Japanese army tried to test the power of Thousand Households Xue Wei."
