For such a long time, the farthest place the Shen family had ever been to was the provincial capital.
They originally thought that the three-courtyard house in the city was magnificent enough, but compared with the house before them, it was a bit disappointing.
The silly Shen Ming pointed at the mansion in front of him and asked, "Are we going to live here?"
Shen Yu'an led the shocked crowd inside, and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, we will live here in the capital."
"Knowing that everyone will be arriving soon, we have already prepared the place where everyone will be staying. I will take you inside to have a look."
Once they entered the mansion, everyone didn't know where to look. The rockery and flowing water, and every object in the courtyard looked pleasing to the eye.
Not only that, they also met many maids and servants along the way. In just this short period of time, there were more than twenty of them.
In fact, there are more servants in the mansion. Shen Yu'an has people assigned to each courtyard.
When Fei Yanche ascended the throne, the maids that had been left behind by the concubines in the harem were no longer useful, so when he knew that Shen Yu'an wanted to buy some servants, he allocated some to her.
Shen Yu'an thought about the number of people who would come after her family members arrived, and did not refuse and accepted all the orders.
So the servants assigned to each person, plus the gatekeepers, the chefs, and so on, all added up to more than a hundred people, and what they saw was only a part of them.
Old Madam Shen felt her legs trembling. "My dear, this house... must have cost a lot of money."
When Chen Yun heard this, he replied in a servile manner, "Mom, our house is the best house in the capital besides the imperial palace. It is worth more than a thousand taels of gold. If it weren't for Eucalyptus, we wouldn't have this house."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen felt her legs go even weaker and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Song and Zhao, who were walking on both sides of her, hurried to steady her.
Little Zhang beside Chen Yun hit him and glared at him, "What are you talking about? You're scaring your mother again."
Chen Yun stopped talking with amusement. If his wife's lips hadn't trembled when she spoke, he would have really believed what she said.
Shen Yu'an and the others thought that the Shen family must be exhausted from the long journey, so they didn't take them for a long walk and asked the maids and servants in each courtyard to lead them to their assigned residences.
Next, wash up, change clothes and take a short rest.

They followed the Fei couple all the way here, and they were not as exhausted as Shen Yu'an imagined.
Fei Yunsong is a complete wife slave. He takes extra care of Wen Yunlan along the way and always stays in the inn to rest, so they are in good spirits.
But they would not reject the good intentions of Shen Yu'an and others.
In the afternoon, a letter came from the palace saying that a welcoming banquet was being held in the palace and the Shen family was invited to attend.
After a short sleep, everyone regained their energy and spirit. They changed into appropriate clothes and took a carriage to the palace.
Some people who had noticed the Shen family since they entered the city knew that all the Shen family members, young and old, had gone to the palace, and had a new understanding of their status in front of the new emperor.
This peasant from the Shen family was invited into the palace as soon as he arrived in the capital. It was the emperor's capable eunuch who personally invited him, which shows how much the emperor values the Shen family.
Those who had already shown good intentions to Shen Yu'an and others in advance were glad that they had foresight. Unlike those short-sighted people, who not only failed to build good relationships with others, but also tried to interfere, and ended up being demoted.
