Chapter 159 Reunion
When Emperor Wu An heard about the ring, he found a piece of the best jade, polished it into a pair of jadeite rings, and gave them to Queen Lin one evening.
Queen Lin also heard about the ring from Meng Jiyao, but she didn't expect that Emperor Wu An would make one for her.
The two have been married for so many years. Although Emperor Wu An would give her some gifts from time to time, most of them were made under the supervision of people in the Imperial Household Department.
Or maybe Emperor Wu An just wanted to order his subordinates to do it. He had never made a gift for Empress Lin personally before. This was the first time!
So even though it was just a very ordinary and simple jade ring, Queen Lin liked it very much, even more than her favorite Nine-Phoenix Hairpin.
It was specially made by order of Emperor Wu An. It was light but exquisite and gorgeous. Emperor Wu An felt sorry for Empress Lin who had to wear such a heavy phoenix crown every day, so he specially ordered it to be made.
There is only one such copy in the world. When Emperor Wu An gave it away, everyone in the palace knew about it and they all envied his deep love for Empress Lin.
The concubines who had never dared to provoke the queen dared not act like a troublemaker in front of her after seeing her obvious favoritism. This greatly facilitated Queen Lin's management of the inner palace.
Two days later, Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi took Jiang Bin and An Chengyu to wait at a tea stall ten miles outside the capital.
Originally, only Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi came to wait together, but after Jiang Bin and An Chengyu heard about it, they insisted on coming along.
As Shen Shixu's half-sons, how could they not be there at such an important moment?
Not only that, the two of them also prepared gifts for Shen's father and mother, including bags of delicious snacks, pieces of silky silk, and several cans of fine tea.
However, these things were all kept at the Shen Mansion and were not brought over. Jiang Bin and An Chengyu wanted to take them, but Shen Shixu asked the two to leave the things at home on the grounds that there were too many people and the carriage could not accommodate them.
Besides, how can you bring a bunch of things with you when you go to pick someone up and then take them back when you come back? That’s not very troublesome!
The four of them ordered a pot of tea and drank it while waiting. Shen Shixu looked at the corner from time to time. When he saw Shen Zexi riding over on a horse, he quickly stood up and said happily, "Here he comes!"
Jiang Bin and An Chengyu, who had been sitting for the whole morning and had lost their temper, were even more excited than Shen Shixu when they heard this. They stood up and ran towards Shen Zexi.
When they were one meter away from Shen Zexi, who was leading the way, two people took out a small salute from their sleeves, then pulled off the small tail under the salute, and there was a bang.
The colorful petals fluttered down, Shen Zexi was very happy to see them, but Shen Shixu was wondering when these two people bought these things, and when they came out, he clearly told these two people to hand over everything they had.
Now it seems that these two guys are obviously pretending to obey but secretly disobeying. Shen's father and mother were sitting in the carriage and felt that the carriage had stopped, so they lifted the curtain to see. As soon as they lifted the curtain, they were attacked by petals.
Mother Shen stretched out her palm to receive a few petals. Just when she was about to sigh that Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi were quite thoughtful, she saw a very beautiful little kid running to the carriage, bowing to her and shouting, "Chengyu greets Master and Master, and wishes Master and Master a long life and everything goes well!"
After him, Jiang Bin bowed to Shen's father and mother, "Jiang Bin greets Master and Grandma, and wishes Master and Grandma a long life, good health, and abundant wealth!"
The two men had long known that their youngest son had accepted two apprentices, but they did not expect that when they came today, his son's two apprentices would actually come to greet them.
The two people were so moved that they didn't know what to say and kept stuffing red envelopes into their arms.
Mother Shen was very glad that she was bored on the way here. Thinking of her son and his two apprentices, she specially prepared a red envelope as a meeting gift. Otherwise, she and Father Shen would have nothing to give, which would be embarrassing.
An Chengyu was smiling happily while holding the red envelope. When Mother Shen saw him, she liked him very much. This child was delicate and good-looking, and his personality was so lively and cheerful. He was exactly the type of grandson she liked most at her age!
"Oh, this child is so good-looking and has a sweet mouth."
An Chengyu was not uncomfortable at all after receiving the compliment. "Thank you for the compliment, my fellow apprentices and I have prepared gifts for you, and they are at your house. Let's go back quickly!"
And my junior brother should be unable to wait any longer. She and her husband were originally going to come along, but the carriage was too small to accommodate them, so they stayed and arranged for lunch at the mansion.
He asked me to apologize to the master and mistress, and hoped that you would forgive him for not coming to greet him. ”
How could Shen's father and mother be angry about this? They also knew who this little apprentice was. They heard from Shen Zexi that their youngest son had accepted another apprentice to learn painting.
She also said that this little disciple had suffered a lot before. After hearing about Jiang Miaokong's past, Mother Shen felt very sorry for him and Song Zhuoyang.
"How can we blame them? We didn't want you to pick us up in the first place. You young people are busy, and it's no big deal for us to come. We will meet sooner or later, and we can just have a meal together when we have time.
So I didn't even write a letter to your master, and I don't know how your master knew that we were arriving in the capital today and came here specially to pick us up.
I clearly told Zexi not to tell Ah Xu and delay his investigation. ”
Shen Zexi felt very aggrieved, he clearly didn't write the letter at all, and he didn't know how Shen Shixu knew about it.
Jiang Bin and An Chengyu knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say it.
At this time, Xiao Jinyi came over and bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Shen, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, you can't blame my elder brother for this. I took the initiative to send someone to find out your whereabouts, thinking that someone would have to pick you up when you came to the capital."
How could Mother Shen bear to blame her ideal son-in-law, she stepped forward to help him up and said, “I didn’t let you be notified because I was afraid that you would be busy and delay you, but your uncle and I are still very happy that you are here.”
Shen Shixu saw them standing here and started chatting, reminding them, "Mom and Dad, it's almost morning, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, let's go home and talk slowly!
Miaokong and the others are at home waiting for our family reunion! ”
Talking about family reunion, Shen's father and mother were very happy, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. When they get older, they hope to have a happy family reunion.
"Yes, yes, we have to go back quickly, so everyone hurry up and get in the car, let's go back early!"
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi led Jiang Bin and the others back to the carriage. An Chengyu and Jiang Bin couldn't wait to open the red envelopes given to them by Shen's father and mother. They were surprised when they saw what was inside the red envelopes.
