Chapter 665: The third son of the Shen family asks for permission to return to Beijing!
Shen Yuanxu's memorial to return to Beijing was handed to Shen Lanxi's desk. After the memorial had been on the desk for ten days, Shen Lanxi picked up her pen to reply.
allow!
Along with this memorial was a letter of appointment. When Shen Yuanxu returned to Beijing, naturally someone had to fill the vacancy.
"Send the message to the Shen family!"
The white-faced eunuch went to the Shen family in person.
"I am here to congratulate you, Master. His Majesty has approved General Yuanxu's request to return to the capital. If General Yuanxu can complete the handover quickly, he will be able to return to the capital in time for the New Year."
Shen Conglian didn't react for a moment. Was it so easy to allow it?
Your Majesty, do you have any plans?
Before, I was just thinking about what would happen if I didn’t agree. Now that I have agreed, I don’t know what to do anymore.
"Eunuch, do you think I should go to the palace to express my gratitude?" Shen Conglian asked in a flattering manner.
The white-faced eunuch thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is busy with his southern tour. If you want to express your gratitude, why don't you wait until General Yuanxu returns, and then you and your son can go to the palace together to express your gratitude?"
Shen Conglian quickly said yes.
As soon as the people in the palace left, Shen Conglian immediately told others the good news.
Shen Congli felt bad when he saw his second brother was so happy. Yuan Xu was coming back, and the second house had someone to support them, but what about their third house?
After he returned, he immediately discussed it with Miao.
"How about we call Yuan Hao back?"
Miao's eyes lit up. Yuan Hao had never remarried since his wife died, and this had always been a concern for her. Too many things had happened in the Shen family in the past few years, and she would wake up in the middle of the night every time.
"Tell His Majesty that I have found someone for Yuan Hao and ask him to come back to the capital to see her. After he returns, we will proceed step by step."
Shen Congli nodded. His Majesty wanted someone to stay there, so he couldn't let anyone be alone without a woman to serve him.
No one can think of a reason to refute this reason.
Shen Congli took a two-pronged approach, first sending a letter to his son, and then having someone send another letter to the palace.
The palace gave a reply the next day, approving it.
Then two imperial edicts were sent out from the capital, one for recall and the other for appointment.
The successive return of two sons is a great thing for the Shen family.
"It's been a long time since our Shen family has had such a happy event. Let the mansion open up for purchases. This New Year must be celebrated with great fanfare. Let everyone in the capital see that our Shen family has not declined." Shen Conglian felt proud.
In the Academy
"Sister Emei, I heard that your two uncles from the Shen family are coming back from the border? Is your father coming back?" The classmates in the academy gathered together to talk.
Shen Emei has reached the age of marriage, but her family has not arranged it yet. The Shen family secretly hopes that His Majesty will arrange the marriage, but there is no movement in the palace, and there is no movement from Shen Yuanjing in the northwest. After all, other people are separated by a layer of relationship, and they only say a few words occasionally, and nothing more.
The changes in recent years have made them understand a truth: the more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, there is nothing wrong.
Seeing the followers looking at her curiously, Shen Emei naturally didn't want to be looked down upon.
Her father and His Majesty are brothers from the same mother. His Majesty has no children and her father is the eldest son, so her father's lineage is the most noble.
She is the eldest daughter, and her status is even more noble.
"Of course my father will come back, but there are a lot of things going on in the northwest, and many foreign tribes are eyeing us covetously. If he wants to come back, he has to deal with everything properly. So even if he comes back, he won't come back so soon."
She had written a letter to Xibei two days ago. Ever since her grandparents passed away one after another, she felt that the Shen family cared less and less about her.
Although they would not treat her harshly on the surface, the two great uncles did not invite the eldest wife to discuss important matters such as asking the elders who were guarding the gate to come back.
Although the elder who can make decisions for the first wife is not in the capital, she is still there.
It was obvious that my great uncle and his family didn't take their eldest branch seriously at all.
"Sister Eyebrow, when will your father come back?"
This question stumped Shen Emei again, she didn't know the answer either.
She didn't even know whether her father would ask to be transferred back to Beijing.
"You guys can just ask about such an important event as the garrison commander's return to the capital?" Shen Emei asked arrogantly.
When the followers heard that the matter involved the court, they quickly changed the subject.
"Did you know that Chen Chengfeng is visiting the daughter of the Ministry of Revenue doctor today?" one of them asked excitedly.
When Shen Emei heard Shen Chengfeng's name, she subconsciously frowned and said with disdain, "Is that the one who winked from time to time during class?"
"That's her. She doesn't squint anymore and she's pretty good looking. She lives next door to me. I've heard her talking about young men in the capital with her maids in the yard many times. She looks like a crazy fan."
Shen Emei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately asked, "What's her name?"
"Gao Mingyue."
If Chen Chengfeng married a woman with eye problems, a lovelorn mind and a bad brain, he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone in the capital.
By then, Shen Chengfeng would definitely lose face, and no one would ever suppress her again.
She decided to make this marriage happen.
"Where do they meet?"
The attendant shook his head: "I don't know. I just heard someone mention it casually."
Shen Emei was disappointed with her and urged angrily, "Why don't you go and find out quickly?"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Just thinking about the chaotic days ahead for Shen Chengfeng, Shen Emei felt unprecedented joy in her heart.
Shen Chengfeng relied on his status as a man to suppress her for too long. She was obviously the eldest daughter of the Shen family and should have been favored by the Emperor Aunt, but it was because of him that the Emperor Aunt's attention was taken away from her.
A descendant of a branch dares to compete with her main branch. How shameless.
Royal Palace
"Your Majesty, Song Daoxi has arrived in Tianjin."
Shen Lanxi: "He completed his mission well. Tianjin is a good place. Let him live there in his old age."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, I am worried that Song Daoxi might meet Yuan Lang?" If they do, Your Majesty, do you remember that she had promised Yuan Lang something?
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "If we meet, then we meet. If the two meet, Yuan Lang will naturally understand what I mean."
Three days later, a memorial was sent from Tianjin. It did not contain any government affairs, but only a few words.
I lost!
"Yuan Lang is worthy of being a disciple of Caolu. He is not stupid."
Can someone impersonate someone from Guiguzi and keep doing so for so long?
Anyone with a brain can guess that there is a real thing behind this fake one.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Northwest."
It's not a memorial, but a letter.
Shen Lanxi glanced at the name, opened it, casually glanced at the content, and then casually wrote the word "approved".
The next day, two imperial edicts were sent to the northwest at full speed.
The Shen family will surely be very lively this year.
…
"Should I tell His Majesty about Chengfeng's marriage to the Gao family?" Liu was very conflicted. On the one hand, she felt aggrieved that she had to ask for others' consent for her grandson's marriage.
On the other hand, he felt that he was at a disadvantage if the palace did not grant him a marriage.
