Chapter 1192: Arrival at Daming Mansion, greeted by the commander
The speed of Shen Tang and his party was not very fast. They traveled all the way and visited the mountains and rivers. By the time they entered the territory of Daming Mansion, it was already July!
After passing Xiangzhou, we entered the territory of Wei County, Daming Prefecture! Heading towards us, a group of light cavalry came galloping towards us.
"General Zhong Yan, the commander of the general manager's office, has been ordered to come to greet my uncle, young lady and ladies!"
The first general, let’s give a long shout!
This title obviously seems more intimate!
"General Lao Zhong!"
Shen Tang returned the salute, and then, under the escort of the army, he headed towards Daming Mansion.
It was only about forty miles from Wei County to Damingfu City. Everyone was on horseback and had arrived outside the city before sunset!
Outside the Daming Mansion, a group of officials from the General Manager's Mansion lined up to greet him. Of course, Wanyan Hao, the old father-in-law, naturally did not need to give Shen Tang any face, so he did not appear here.
Shen Tang chatted with everyone for a moment, and then led them straight towards the direction of the General Manager's Mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of the steward's mansion, an old butler opened the front door wide and greeted him respectfully with a group of servants and maids!
"Welcome to you, Miss!"
"Uncle Zhong, where are my father and the others!"
Wanyan Yue jumped off the horse and asked the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper smiled and saluted, "Miss, the master and his wife are waiting in the main hall!"
After hearing this, Wanyan Yue turned to the girls and said, "Two sisters, ladies, let's go visit my father and mother first, and then we can go have some fun!"
Everyone entered the courtyard. After all, Shen Tang had been here several times, so he was not unfamiliar!
He went straight into the main hall of the backyard and saw Wan Yanhao and Wu Linda Shanmei sitting and waiting. Shen Tang immediately fell to the ground and knelt down, "My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law! I am getting married to Yue'er, so it is inconvenient for my son-in-law to take Yue with him." My son has returned and now I am finally free, so I came to pay homage to you two."
Shen Tang really respected Wanyan Hao and his wife! Wanyan Yue was the jewel in the hands of the couple, but as Shen Tang married away to the South, she was very afraid even if she wanted to go home! Therefore, Shen Tang gave this gift. Willingly.
"Hmph! You bastard, you still know how to bring my daughter back?"
Father-in-law and son-in-law are like natural enemies. Anyway, Wanyan Hao doesn't like the boy in front of him!
I don’t know how many times I have been tricked by this cheap son-in-law. Moreover, look at how many warblers are around him?
Of course, there are only a lot more wives and concubines around him, but these are completely different things.
The mother-in-law was naturally not ordinary about Shen Tang's son-in-law, so she stood up with a smile and said, "Quick, get up! It was naturally inconvenient for you to hold a high position in the South Country before.
However, when I return this time, I will stay at home for a longer time!"
"You girls are really all beautiful and beautiful. Yue Yatou often writes letters and talks about how good your sisters are together! Yue Yatou has been spoiled since she was a child! With you here to take care of each other, I feel relieved!"
"You must be Xiangling?
Is this Mu Yu?
You must be Lian'er! Are these two Yun'er and Zhu'er?"
Ulinda Shanmei obviously knew a lot about the girls, even if he came up to talk to them affectionately.
"Is this person Ling'er?"
"Linger pays homage to uncle and aunt!"
Zhao Ling stepped forward to salute with a smile, and all the Xiangling girls also stepped forward to salute Wanyanhao and his wife respectfully.
Wan Yanhao looked at the girls and his expression softened. He often received letters from his daughters. Of course he knew that none of the girls in front of him were simple.
Especially Zhao Ling, her status in the Song Dynasty was no less than that of her own daughter.
This boy Shen Tang is really lucky. Having these girls is a huge help.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Linglong Garden! Girl Yue lived there before. This time you come, you will all live at home! Let them talk to the father-in-law and son-in-law first, and then call them after we have settled in. Let’s eat together!”
Afterwards, Ulin Dashanmei led the girls outside!
In this famous mansion, Shen Tang naturally did not have to worry about the safety of the girls! Therefore, he sat respectfully in front of Wanyan Hao, took the initiative to refill Wanyan Hao's tea, and waited for Wanyan Hao to speak.
"Hmph, the God of War of the Song Dynasty, and the Marquis of Zhongwu, don't you have to be respectful in front of me?"
Wanyan Hao knew that the boy in front of him was conquering the south and the north. Even the emperors of the two countries looked at him with admiration. He had never been afraid of anyone. Fortunately, he had the title of father-in-law, otherwise, the attitude between the two would have been reversed.
"I said you kid, are you brainless?"
Wanyan Hao glared and reprimanded, "Is there anything wrong with my father-in-law scolding his son-in-law?"
There's nothing wrong with it at all!
"For a woman from Dali, you mobilized 200,000 troops and massacred hundreds of thousands of people! Are you going to turn the world upside down?"
Even when he mentions this matter now, Wanyan Hao is extremely shocked! You must know that this is sending troops to conquer other countries, and there is no order from the court at all. Not to mention Shen Tang, even the generals under his command will not forgive him. sin!
But even so, with this boy's order, 200,000 troops gathered in Dali without hesitation! Such a prestige, no matter in the Jin Kingdom or the Song Dynasty, except for the emperors of the two countries, no one can achieve it.
Even he, the general manager of a famous mansion, would never be able to do it.
Because, although the soldiers and horses under his command are loyal to him, they will never disobey the court because of his orders, let alone follow him to do whatever they want.
"If you ask me, the emperor of the Song Dynasty should chop off your head! Don't you think about the consequences?
Now it's better, all the official positions are gone, and I have become a white body?
I am really embarrassed to have a brainless son-in-law like you!"
Shen Tang was silent for a moment, and then said respectfully, "Thank you, father-in-law, for thinking about me. However, if it happens again, my son-in-law will still be like this! The so-called high official and generous salary are not worth a penny to my son-in-law! The people around me are who I am. The most cherished thing! If it were Yue'er, my son-in-law would also send troops to the Kingdom of Jin, regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences! My son-in-law may be wrong, but he has no regrets!"
Looking at Shen Tang's determined expression, Wanyan Hao gritted his teeth, but finally let out a long sigh! Meeting such a son-in-law, I really don't know whether to be angry or happy!
"Forget it, it doesn't make sense with your stupid head! Later, have a drink with me! Since you are no longer an official, you should stick to your identity in the Kingdom of Jin and don't get involved in unnecessary things. Among them! It will save me a lot of trouble!"
Although Wanyan Hao's words were meant as a rebuke, he really thought about Shen Tang!
Now Shen Tang's identity and position are extremely clever. If he gets too close to the Kingdom of Jin, it may not be a good thing.
As the governor of Daming Mansion and a close confidant of the emperor, he would naturally like Shen Tang to be closer to the Kingdom of Jin, but as the father-in-law, he would rather hope that Shen Tang can be safe.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
How could Shen Tang not know his father-in-law's good intentions?
