When Murong Shu arrived at her mother's yard, Nanny Li was already waiting at the door. When she saw her from afar, she smiled and said:
"Miss is here, come in quickly, Miss has returned home, Madam is so happy that she didn't even take a nap."
"Mammy, why don't you persuade mother? If it's because Shu'er didn't get enough rest, Daddy will blame me!"
When Murong Shu heard the nanny say that his mother didn't get enough rest, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Nanny Li was afraid that Murong Shu would fall, so she hurriedly advised, "Miss, please don't worry. Walk slowly and don't fall. Madam and Master are so worried about you, how can they have the heart to blame you!"
"Yes, miss, go slowly, I'll support you." Xiao Tao hurriedly caught up with her mistress.
"Don't worry, I'm walking steadily. I want to see my mother soon."
Murong Shu said that he didn't want them to worry, but his pace became faster.
Song heard her daughter's voice in the room and hurried out to greet her. "Is it Shu'er? Come in quickly. Mother made peach blossom cakes for you. Come in and try them."
"Wow! Mom is so awesome. Shu'er is in for a treat today."
When Murong Shu heard that there was something delicious, she immediately became happy. She had only seen things like peach blossom pastry on TV before.
"Shu'er, try it first to see if it tastes good. If you like it, I'll make it for you in the future."
When Song Wei saw her daughter, her mood improved.
"Where is Daddy? Why is Mom alone?" Murong Shu looked around and found that his father was not there.
"Your father went to the West Mountain camp with your eldest brother after lunch. He has been away for so many days, so I need to go and check on him."
When her daughter asked about her husband, Song Wei patiently answered her daughter's questions.
"Where's the second brother?"
"Your second brother, third brother, and fourth brother went to the academy!"
"Ah, are they okay after missing so much class?"
Rong Shu didn't know much on the way, and she was a little surprised that her brothers were still studying.
"Don't worry, they have finished learning before they come to pick you up, so it won't affect the progress."
"Yeah, Mom, is my eldest brother also a general?" Rong Shu asked curiously.
"No, I'm currently working with your father as a forward."
Song Wei was afraid that her daughter didn't understand, so she explained to her what a striker is.
"What about Daddy?"
"Your father is a mighty general personally appointed by the current emperor. Your father and the emperor have a friendship that has lasted through thick and thin together. We in the general's mansion are only loyal to the emperor."
"Wow, what a mighty general! He sounds very powerful!"
It’s not that Rong Shu was flattering, it’s that she had never been exposed to this before, so Rong Shu was extremely excited.
"Since you are interested, can mother introduce everyone in the family to you?" Seeing that her daughter was interested, Song Wei wanted to take the opportunity to introduce her to other family members.
"Of course, this way I can quickly understand the situation of my family. Thank you for your hard work, mother."
"Compared to Shu'er being alone outside for so many years, what mother is doing is nothing." Song Wei felt extremely distressed when she thought of her daughter being alone in Tianmen Mountain for so many years.
Seeing that his mother was about to cry again, Murong Shu hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, you don't know how much Master and my brothers love me. They always leave good things for me. Even if I make Master angry, they always protect me."
"When I came back this time, some of them cried. If they come to the capital to see me in the future, mother, please join me in entertaining them."
"When will they come? Mommy should have someone prepare the room in advance." Song Wei was very excited when she heard her daughter say that her fellow apprentices were coming.
"My senior brother said that he would write me a letter in advance when he came, and also said that if my family treated me badly, he would take me away!" Murong Shu thought of the senior brothers of the original owner, and they were really people who could do such a thing.
"If anyone dares to wrong you, I will be the first one to disagree." Hearing that her daughter was loved by so many people, Song Wei's mood also improved.
"I knew that mother is the best to me!" Murong Shu hugged Song Wei's arm and acted coquettishly.
At this moment, Song Wei finally understood the difference between raising a daughter and a son as her elder sister-in-law had told her. The little girl was sweet, soft, cute, and could act coquettishly. There was no way that bad boy could compare to her.
"Mom hasn't introduced my second uncle yet!" Thinking of his lovely second uncle, Murong Shu felt that there must be a story behind it.
"Your second uncle is the one in our family who is scolded the most by your grandmother. He is usually a bit eccentric. He is currently an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He is a relatively unique person in our family."
Thinking of her second brother, Song Wei organized her words and spoke them to her daughter, mainly because she was afraid that her daughter would not understand.
"Ah, isn't our family a family of military generals? How come my second uncle is in the Hanlin Academy?" Murong Shu asked whatever came to his mind directly, and felt a little embarrassed after he realized what was going on.
"Your second uncle is also a man of both civil and military talents. When he was young, he rebelled and studied literature, becoming the first in our family. Later, he passed the imperial examination and went to the army for training. When your grandfather passed away, he was already working in the Ministry of War. Later, your father was named a mighty general, and in order to avoid suspicion, your second uncle asked to go to the Hanlin Academy."
Murong Shu couldn't help but admire his second uncle, who was the type who could succeed in anything he did. He said with a little envy, "I envy my second uncle so much, he can succeed in anything he does!"
"Don't let your grandmother hear you say this. I don't know how many times your second uncle has been scolded by your grandmother for this." Song Wei reminded her daughter with a smile.
"My second uncle has a strong personality and is loyal and righteous. I like him. What about my second aunt?" Murong Shu felt that his second aunt must be a wonderful person since she liked his second uncle.
"Your second aunt is the richest in our family. Your mother's family, the Rong family, is the richest in our capital. Your second aunt is also the eldest daughter. When she married your second uncle, the dowry she gave him was the envy of all the noble ladies in the capital."
Song Wei couldn't help laughing when she thought of her mother-in-law's expression when she found out that her second son was going to marry the Rong family's eldest daughter.
"My second uncle is a real winner in life. He has a good family background, he's not bad looking, he can change jobs whenever he wants, and he has a rich, gentle and beautiful wife." Murong Shu said with emotion.
"Who in the capital city wouldn't envy him? But your second uncle has an "enemy", the second son of the Wen family. When your second uncle won the third place in the imperial examination, he rode a horse and paraded through the streets. The girl that the second son loved fell in love with your second uncle, and the second son Wen has been at odds with your second uncle ever since."
"Hahahaha, Second Uncle is so miserable!" Murong Shu really couldn't help it.
"Alas, now the two of them don't get along. They work in the same Hanlin Academy, and they quarrel eight times a day. Sometimes they quarrel even in court. The Wen family is the leader of civil officials. The second son Wen is very talented in writing, and your second uncle is also a good speaker. So the emperor has a headache when he sees the two of them."
"They are so bold to quarrel in front of His Majesty!"
"The current queen is the second son Wen's biological sister, and the emperor and queen have a very good relationship. Your father is someone the emperor trusts. What can the emperor do? He can only turn a blind eye."
"It's different when you have someone to back you up!" Murong Shu said with emotion.
