Chapter 287: Being Coldly Treated



"Yes, we have our own home now." Han Yu had a doting and equally happy smile on his face. Compared with the Han family's old house and Silla Town, this was a home that truly belonged to them and was earned entirely by themselves.

Su Wenyue talked to Han Yu about making bamboo shoots again. This was something Su Wenyue was good at. Han Yu completely trusted his wife and naturally had no objection. However, since the house in the city had been decided and they would be moving in soon, he was afraid that there would be a conflict in time.

"Why don't we let Shuqin and Aunt Feng stay and leave the matters here to them. Our lease of this house ends next year and we cannot give it up for the time being. Wait until they finish their business and then come to Yiyang Prefecture." Su Wenyue said as she thought about it. They should move to the prefecture as soon as possible. They couldn't delay any longer and had to get the things they needed early. Especially since Han Yu wanted to use this time to do favors for others, she had to do things well and not hold Han Yu back.

"Is this feasible? Without you here, Shuqin and Aunt Feng may be able to take care of the things. Do you want me to arrange some people for you?" Han Yu didn't care much about the affairs of the inner house. The only people he was familiar with were Madam Li, Madam Chen and Xiaoxi. He didn't know the others very well and didn't know the abilities of Shuqin and Aunt Feng.

"No problem. Aunt Feng and Shuqin both have the ability to do this. I have given the method of making bamboo shoots to Shuqin, so I don't have to watch over it myself. But since Shuqin will stay here, we will have to arrange a temporary manager in the kitchen during this period of time." Su Wenyue was already thinking about the right candidate while speaking.

"Let Nanny Chen be in charge. The kitchen is responsible for food, which is the most important thing. Nanny Chen is not as capable as Nanny Li, but she is more loyal. It should be no problem for her to be in charge of the kitchen." Han Yu said.

Su Wenyue nodded and agreed with this: "Then let Nanny Chen take care of it for now. I originally wanted to let Nanny Li take care of it, but Nanny Li is helping me take care of other things in the inner house, and it's the New Year and there are a lot of things to do. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. Although there are a lot of things to do in the kitchen, it's not too difficult to manage it with the rules we set before. Nanny Chen should be able to handle it."

The confirmed date is December 12th to move to the provincial capital, and this year's New Year will definitely be spent in the provincial capital. Before that, Han Yu decided to go back to his hometown, first to visit his parents and relatives, then to send new year gifts in advance, and also to bring the three little ones to meet their grandparents.

Su Wenyue and her companions set out on the tenth day of December, planning to stay in their hometown for a day before going to the provincial capital. It's not that they didn't want to stay longer in their hometown, but things are different now than in the past. Once they set off, there will be more than ten or twenty people. It's okay to stay for one or two days, but if they stay for too long, it will be inconvenient to make arrangements. And they are in a hurry to go to the provincial capital.

"What? The fourth son and his wife are coming back!" When Old Man Han and Madam Yang heard the news, they couldn't control themselves and their faces were filled with excitement. They had just learned about their son's promotion a few days ago, and they didn't expect that he would be back in just a few days. How could they not be excited?

Also in the room were the eldest brother Han Hu and his family. They were all happy to hear that Su Wenyue was coming back.

"That's great. The fourth brother and his wife have been gone for several months. It's rare for them to come back, so we must hurry up and make good arrangements." Liu said with a happy face. Even though the fourth brother and his family had left, they had brought a lot of things home, especially since the old couple lived with their eldest wife, and their eldest wife had taken advantage of them. When Liu heard that the fourth brother and his wife were coming back, how could she not be happy?

"Of course. The third brother is now a sixth-rank commander of the imperial court, one rank higher than our Xinye County Magistrate. He is a high-ranking official. It's a rare opportunity for him to come back, so we must treat him well. We must not be shabby, or people will look down on us. I heard that there are more than ten followers alone, and they have specially streamlined the number of people. Such a grand ceremony is really impressive."

"Don't worry, Dad and Mom. I won't be stingy. I will definitely take out all the good things in the house to entertain you." Since the family split up, each family has its own way, and it is rare for Liu to say such generous words.

Old Man Han and Yang were very satisfied with Liu's performance today. It was because of the matter of the fourth brother's family that the eldest brother's wife was so generous. After all, she had received a lot of benefits from the fourth brother's family in normal times. What's more, the fourth brother has become a high-ranking official, and only a fool would not know how to curry favor with him.

"Boss, go and inform the second and third brothers as well, and let them know the news." Old man Han did not forget to give the order.

"Really? The fourth brother and his wife will be back tomorrow? That's great. The fourth brother has been away for more than half a year. His parents will be so happy when he comes back. And there are three nephews and nieces. Will the fourth brother bring them back this time?"

"Yes, the fourth brother's family of five are all back. Dad and mom are so excited that they can't eat. They are walking around the village now, afraid that no one knows the good news." Han Hu said happily, turned around and went to the third brother Han Lin, but was treated coldly.

Regardless of the previous grudges or the different treatment of the third branch by the fourth brother and his wife, Han Lin and his wife were not very interested in Han Yu and Su Wenyue's return. Anyway, any benefits would not fall into their family's hands.

"Wife, wake up, we're almost there!" Han Yu looked at the mother and her four children sleeping soundly in the carriage, and woke Su Wenyue up softly. Taking advantage of this time, he put on Su Wenyue's outer cloak and hat, covering her tightly. The three wet nurses also wrapped the three little ones in small quilts.

"Are we there yet?" Su Wenyue smiled when she heard that they had arrived. After all, she had lived in Xinhe Village for such a long time, including in her previous life, so she still had deep feelings for this place.

"We're almost there, we're almost at the village entrance. You should get yourself and the three little ones ready first, to avoid getting caught in the cold wind." Han Yu added some charcoal to the hand warmer, then stuffed it back into Su Wenyue's hands.

Su Wenyue nodded. There was nothing to pack. The three little ones were wrapped up by the wet nurse, and she was dressed up like a ball by Han Yu. She was wrapped in layer upon layer. She felt a little hot in the warm carriage. She opened the window and saw the familiar road and scenery. She was almost at the entrance of the village. From a distance, there were many people standing at the entrance of the village. No one knew what they were doing there. When she got closer, Su Wenyue heard the noisy sound of gongs and drums.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Husband, is there a wedding here? It's so lively, it's just in time for us to come back." It was a good sign to encounter a happy event right after returning. Su Wenyue was also happy and asked with a smile.

"Maybe." Han Yu also heard the noise at the entrance of the village. With the sound of gongs and drums, it was probably some family getting married. But it was a bit strange. Why were they always listening to the wedding at the entrance of the village? And he didn't seem to see the bride's sedan chair.
