The whole family was somewhat surprised by their sudden return; they really didn't expect them to be able to come back so quickly.
Mu Zhizhi thought they had encountered something, but when she saw He Huazhang, she realized that the children had simply completed their task ahead of schedule.
Wow, you've brought your future son-in-law home so quickly!
She always trusted her children's judgment; if they brought someone back, that person must be good.
Looking at He Huazhang's superior appearance, coupled with his scholarly demeanor and not-so-thin build, she was already seven or eight parts satisfied.
After the welcome banquet was over, she was even more satisfied.
It was only at this moment that He Huazhang realized that this was actually the famous General's Mansion. When he entered, he hadn't even had a chance to look at it because his brother Shen had pulled him out of the car.
I'm so ashamed...
But at this moment, facing this enthusiastic family, he dared not even imagine that he would have the opportunity to become a family with them in the future.
Instead, he honestly suppressed his feelings for Shen Xingyan deep in his heart, daring not to even entertain the thought.

After resting for a night, the next day, Shen Zheng took He Huazhang to the military camp to see his grandfather. Such a person should not be buried, and he wanted his grandfather to see where he would be most suitable.
He knew he was still somewhat inexperienced in personnel matters and dared not make decisions on his own.
Before the two set off, Shen Xingyan did not see them off in any special way. Even though she was usually careless, she knew that marriage or relationships should not be initiated by the young woman.
If he's interested in me, he'll show it eventually, no rush.

As the "Goddess's" fame spread, more and more people, like He Huazhang, wanted to come to the Northern Border to seek their fortunes.
On their return, they saw many more carriages and pedestrians than before, and Yong'an Town was much more lively, completely unlike the desolation they had experienced when they first arrived.
The main reason is that grain production has increased so much that everyone can eat and drink their fill, which naturally makes a big difference in their mental state.
Seeing how well the people of the North are doing now gives those who come here even more confidence in the future.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Two years later, in the spring, He Huazhang, who had already held an important position in the army, wrote to his sister, inviting her family to come to the northern border to propose marriage to the Shen family.
That same summer, Shen Xingyan and He Huazhang got married, and many guests came to congratulate them, making it a grand occasion.
Based on her understanding of her sister, Shen Xingmian prepared many congratulatory gifts for her and sent them to her new home, which was not too far from the General's Mansion.
Not only the wedding gift, but ever since she bought the house, she has been constantly adding things to it, with a level of care that is almost comparable to her own wedding.
When she was observing the wedding ceremony, Xiao Yanyue, who had grown to 1.89 meters tall, stood next to her. She now had to look up to meet his gaze.
That's outrageous...
However, looking at Shen Jun, who was already nearly 1.5 meters tall, she realized that it wasn't that Xiao Yanyue was special, but rather that the functions attached to her space were truly powerful.
My cousin is also very tall, but he's older than me, so his height seems normal and doesn't seem strange to anyone.
The scene was filled with blessings, lively and festive. Xiao Yanyue looked down at her beloved, who was smiling radiantly beside her, and her fingertips twitched slightly, wanting to touch her under the cover of her robe sleeve.
Shen Xingmian happened to turn around and saw the intense longing in his eyes.
Um?
Could it be that he... also wants to marry her?
Although there is no legal age now, we are still too young, even if we look okay, it's still not okay.
We can only ask him to wait a little longer.
After realizing her feelings, Shen Xingmian began to understand the hardship of waiting. If she didn't have so many things she wanted to do every day, she probably would have been very anxious too.
However, before the marriage, Xiao Yanyue's enemies should be dealt with.
She understood his concerns and didn't want to become a burden to him either; such resentment shouldn't be suppressed.
So after her sister got married, she accompanied Xiao Yanyue on a trip to the capital. This time, there was no one else, just the two of them.
The administration of Lin Yue was already chaotic, and this chaos was made even more apparent by the orderly and prosperous Northern Territory.
The people's grievances against the emperor were growing, and even though the emperor tried his best to suppress them, they were about to become uncontrollable.
After arriving in the capital, the two first went to find Jiang Yu to learn about the general situation in the capital and put all the people who deserved to die into a list.
Rui Rui is seven months pregnant and is very favored in the Jiang family. She was pleasantly surprised to see Shen Xingmian and hoped that she could stay and see her child born.
In that case, the child will have an additional godmother.
Although Jiang Yu felt the generational order was a bit messy, he was very supportive of the marriage alliance with the Shen family, so he didn't stop Rui Rui from doing whatever she wanted and let her decide for herself, as long as she was happy.
He was already very happy to have married Rui Rui, and now that they have a child, he feels like he's living in a honey pot every day, and he can't wait to show off to everyone.
It's a pity I can't see Luo Qi'an, otherwise I would definitely chat with him all night.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, it didn't stop him from sending letters from time to time to express his happiness.
After Uncle Jiang Yu finished showing off his happiness, Shen Xingmian asked about the recent situation in the capital. They had learned some things along the way, but it was certainly not as comprehensive as what he knew in the capital.
Mentioning these things, the joy on Jiang Yu's face disappeared. He had never liked the emperor, and now that he was talking about it, he didn't feel guilty at all.
"The growing prosperity of the North has put a lot of pressure on the Emperor. His ministers have come up with one bad idea after another, making the court a mess. No matter how much the ministers who care about the people try to persuade him, it is useless, and they have almost given up."
He sighed deeply when he talked about these things.
He also wished for Linyue to improve, but this emperor, apart from showing some despicable abilities when seizing the throne, had never done anything remarkable since.
As a subject, he was truly powerless to do anything about it.
Seeing the two of them come here, he could roughly guess what they were thinking. After all, they were sworn enemies and it would be a shame not to take revenge.
"Uncle, I trust your judgment. Give me a list. Yanyue and I will stay in the capital for a while and deal with these people one by one."
"With those troublemakers gone, new people in charge, and the support of the North, things can't be any worse than they are now."
Upon hearing that the Northern Border had its support, Jiang Yu immediately nodded in agreement. He knew how capable Shen Xingmian was; as long as she was willing to take charge, the capital would not descend into chaos.
only……
"Then...who should sit on this throne?"
Jiang Yu was still a little worried about this. If another unreliable emperor were appointed, the people of Linyue would probably suffer again.
