Chapter 1532: Accompany Muyu back home, proud old father-in-law
Chapter 1532: Accompanying Mu Yu back home, the arrogant old father-in-law
Shen Tang and his entourage arrived quite late, especially with Xiao Nianli. They didn't leave the house until about four o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, they were not far from the Yamen, so it only took them two-quarters of an hour to reach the side entrance of the Yamen's backyard. .
"I've met the two young ladies. Let's meet my uncle!"
When some sharp-eyed gatekeepers saw the arrival of the carriage, they opened the gate and led people out to welcome them out!
Shen Tang got off the horse and helped the two girls off the carriage.
A young man came forward to take the frame away and entertained the people who were accompanying him. It happened that the two brothers were also rushed out.
"I've met two brothers!"
Shen Tang and the two girls came forward to greet him. The two brothers laughed and said, "Quick, dad has been waiting for an hour or two..."
Several people walked forward to the main hall, and saw Mr. Shao sitting in the middle, Murong Hui sitting on one side, and the two concubines also smiling on both sides.
Shen Tang stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "My son-in-law Shen Tang, I would like to pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law! I wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law good health!"
"Hurry up, we are all members of our family, how can we be so polite!"
Murong Hui happily helped Shen Tang up, and Mr. Shao nodded in agreement.
"I've met two aunts!"
Shen Tang stood up, bowed to the end again, and saluted Mr. Shao's two concubines.
But the two concubines hurriedly evaded, "How dare you be a gift from my uncle!"
Shao Muyu and Murong Yu who were behind Shen Tang also came forward one by one. Murong Hui took the hands of his daughter and niece from left to right, "Okay, okay, okay! I'm relieved to see that you two sisters are both happy." !By the way, quickly bring Xiao Nianli over and show me, don’t let her freeze..."
The nanny who was following behind came forward with Xiao Nianli in her arms. The women were naturally happy to see it. Mr. Shao also looked at it eagerly, but he was too embarrassed to get up. Of course, this did not prevent him from ruthlessly She glared twice! My niece's daughter is naturally good...but after all, she is not my own granddaughter.
After a moment of excitement, Murong Hui and his two concubines took the two girls and carried Xiao Nianli to a side room to talk.
In the main hall, the four of you are sitting upright!
After chatting for a while, Mr. Shao suddenly said, "You and Mu Yu have been married for a long time. Mu Yu has been working hard in your Shen family. Now that Xiangling and Yu Yatou have children, when do you plan to marry them?" Let me see my grandson!"
The old man's unkind gaze made Shen Tang's heart skip a beat, and he quickly said flatteringly, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law must work hard! Well, work hard!"
The old man snorted coldly, "There are two of you who are not making progress. Your sister is already married, so why can't you two bring some back to me?
What's your ability to visit all the flower boats in Pingjiang Prefecture?"
The old man is very majestic at the moment. No matter what kind of prince you are or the God of Wealth, you have to look down and down at this moment!
At any rate, the old man saved face for his brothers. He scolded them for a few words and then stopped. They breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic.
"How is eldest brother in the military now?"
Youfu smiled and said, "The general takes great care of you. Now you are the deputy commander of the first battalion!"
A deputy commander, considered a mid- to low-level general, has hundreds of people under his command! Originally, he was lucky enough to become a monk halfway, and he had no merit at all, so it was not easy to be promoted.
However, with Shen Tang's reputation and the Shao family having a lot of money, a deputy commander was naturally at hand.
"Brother will be returning to camp in the next few days!"
"Wait for another two or three days. When dad passes his birthday, he will return to the camp!"
After Shen Tang thought for a moment, he turned to Shao Xun and said, "Father-in-law, the war to suppress the White Lotus Society has basically ended, but there are still some stubborn people who still need to use troops! My son-in-law wants his uncle to lead the troops there. , it can be regarded as exercise, I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?"
"This..." Shao Xun hesitated. Of course he knew that Shen Tang had found a good opportunity for his son to gain credit. However, his son had never been on the battlefield after all, so he was naturally a little worried.
"Father-in-law, there is no need to worry!"
Immediately, Shen Tang told Shao Xun about the war in Kunshan.
When Shao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved! The leader of the thief had been brought to justice and Kunshan had been captured. What was left was just some finishing work. To put it bluntly, it was purely for taking credit.
This is why Shen Tang dares to say this. After all, Yue Lin is his subordinate. If anyone else dares to go at this time, they will definitely become enemies.
"It's good that you can think about this bastard! But is it easy to tell the court?
Don't let it be because he has influenced you."
"Father-in-law, don't worry!"
Shen Tang said without hesitation that Yue Lin was in charge of the Jiangyin Army, and Liu Gong had already entered the Privy Council. It would be troublesome to dispatch the entire Sizhou Army, but if you just wanted to be lucky enough to lead a better army to mess around, The credit is simply a piece of cake.
"Moreover, my son-in-law will also ask the Jiangyin Army to send a few old soldiers to accompany the elder brother. One is to make suggestions, and the other is to protect the elder brother. Considering the situation of the battle in Kunshan, the elder brother will definitely be fine!"
"In that case, let's follow your arrangements!"
Shao Xun agreed.
"Brother, then I will send a message to Lin'an to let people take this matter into consideration. I think I will issue a transfer order as soon as possible! I will also send a message to General Lushan! My brother is not high in rank now, I will move around a little, and I don't need many troops on either side. , it is enough for the eldest brother to rise by one or two! When we go to Kunshan, half of the accompanying soldiers and horses can be taken care of by the eldest brother, and the other half will be filled by General Lu Shan."
Going here is obviously to take advantage. Of course you can't eat alone if you are lucky. Give half of it to Lu Shan and find some close people. Naturally, everyone will be happy.
"The main war in Kunshan has ended, and there are only some fragments left. According to my estimation, it will take a month or two at most! When the war is completely over, it will be a matter of course for the eldest brother to become the commander of the army.
Then, if my father-in-law is willing, I will transfer my eldest brother to Chengdu!"
"I have been reinstated and will go there in the spring. By then, whether it is the Luo Kingdom or Tubo territory, there will naturally be opportunities to use soldiers! If the eldest brother can train for three or two years, it will be logical for him to take charge of an army!"
As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do things. If an ordinary person wants to become the commander-in-chief of an army, it will naturally be difficult to reach the sky.
But with Shen Tang's help, Youfu's future is naturally bright.
Shao Xun was silent in the class, and then sighed softly, "You are not young now, you have your own future! My father cannot keep you by his side, and since your sister-in-law has arrangements, so be it!"
A few people chatted with the old man, until at noon, a little girl came to invite him.
"Master, the banquet has been prepared. Madam invites the master, the two young masters and my uncle to go!"
