Chapter 478: Huaijiang's Family Arrives
Lin Yao felt much better after Xin An's advice. She also said that she had been taking medicine for a long time. She was in good health before, but she felt weak recently. Wasn't it because she took too much medicine? Xin An picked up some food for her and said, "Try this abalone. It tasted fishy before, but the chef changed the way to stew it, and only the strong fragrance remained."
"Try this old duck, it's stewed with cordyceps, it tastes sweet and has a mild nature, it's a good food tonic."
Lin Yao tasted a piece of abalone and drank a mouthful of soup. "Your cooking skills are really good. This abalone has no fishy smell at all. It is soft, sticky, and rich and sweet."
"Yeah, I think so too."
After they finished their meal, they sat down to rest for a while before Doctor Qin came. He thought Xin An was feeling unwell, but was relieved when he found out it was Lin Yao. He checked her pulse for a long time before saying that she was fine, but she just didn't drink enough medicine. "Take two doses of this doctor's medicine, two bowls of that doctor's medicine, and take some random folk remedies. This is the most harmful to your health."
"As long as you are happy and healthy, you won't have any problems."
Lin Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she might have some problem. "Doctor Qin, can you take my husband's pulse as well?"
If she took Xin An's words to heart, she might be aware that there might be something wrong with Yan Shimao.
"He should be fine. I diagnosed him when I prescribed the medicated diet for him."
"Please ask for one."
Lin Yao was embarrassed to say that the two of them were anxious to have a child recently, and Yan Shimao was a little overwhelmed in bed.
After seeing Lin Yao off, Xin An leaned on her beauty bed, as if she had just closed her eyes when Chun Yang gently woke her up and said that her second uncle had arrived.
"Have you entered the mansion yet?"
"Enter the mansion."
Chunyang helped her change her clothes. "They said they entered the city this morning and have settled down at Xin's house. The ones who came are the Second Master and Second Madam, the Fourth Master, and Miss Yu and Miss Yue."
"My second uncle and his family are all here. Send someone to the Duke of Enguo's mansion to inform my son-in-law, and also tell my mother-in-law."
Aunt Cuiping came in and asked Xin An to rest after hearing about this. "There is no need to be too cautious with family members. I have invited the second master and his family to come directly to Qiushi Courtyard. After all, the front yard is a place for entertaining guests. It would be a bit strange if it were not so."
My mother's family is naturally an honored guest. Qiushiyuan is still some distance away from the front yard. The sun is scorching and we are anxious. What will happen if something goes wrong?
Qiushi Courtyard has a small main hall, which is just right for entertaining guests. Chunyang asked the stove to prepare some icy snacks and fruit drinks. Xin An stood under the eaves and looked at the door waiting. Rouqiu was sleeping in the corner, when he suddenly raised his head, stood up abruptly, and rushed out of the door, barking.
A little girl ran out and took it away, and Aunt Cuiping's voice came in.
"Second uncle and second aunt."
Xin An went down the stairs to greet her. Xin's second aunt quickly stepped forward to support her, "Be careful."
She had already learned about the happy event from Aunt Cuiping and was extremely delighted. This was the Xin family's foundation in the capital and there must be no mistakes.
"Sister An."
Xin Jia Silang bowed politely, and the two girls followed suit. Xin An was very emotional now, and her eyes were wet. "Come in quickly, there is no reason to greet each other in the sun."
"I've prepared some cool fruit for you. Come and have a drink."
"Uncle and aunt, please sit down in our room."
The family sat down in the small hall. Aunt Xin looked at Xin An with a smile in her eyes. "We wanted to come earlier, but we were delayed for some time because of dealing with family matters. We arrived in the capital this morning and stayed in the house your father bought. The families of the Zhou brothers also came with us. They said they would visit you again tomorrow."
"How are you these days? I heard from Steward Wang that your father got a promotion?"
When the family heard the news, they couldn't believe it at all. They were eager to see Xin An and hear this great news from her.
Xin An said that everything was fine with her, and then smiled and told the whole story again, "The emperor personally conferred the reward, and the family should have received the news a few days ago."
Xin An's second uncle, Xin Chang, was so excited that his face flushed. "This is a great happy event. No wonder my second uncle has been in such a good mood recently. He felt that something happy was going to happen."
Xin An smiled and said that there was something else going on, and then he told her about Xin Huancheng's previous work in the palace. "Although it's not a court position, it's also for the palace. The documents were sent away a few days ago. Then I'll take my two younger brothers with me. If I do a good job, I might be able to earn a good career."
"Okay, okay."
Xin Chang laughed happily, "Although the sons of our Xin family are not good at studying, they are good at doing things."
"That's right. The men of our Xin family are outstanding."
The fourth son of the Xin family, named Xing Cheng, was so excited that he drank the juice in one gulp, "Sister An, has my brother-in-law gone to work?"
"The Duke of En's mansion is hosting a banquet today, and everyone in the mansion has attended. I have sent someone to tell him that you will be able to see him tomorrow at the latest. More than half of the court officials are at the banquet today, and he will not be able to come back if he doesn't drink a little at such an occasion."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The Duke of En's Mansion?"
It sounds unattainable.
"She is the Queen Mother's mother."
As soon as Xin An explained, everyone was in awe. They felt that the capital city was indeed the place where the emperor lived and where the powerful and wealthy gathered.
Xin An will keep them for dinner before leaving. "My mother-in-law and aunt will be back later. My uncle's family is currently living in the mansion. My cousin's family has also come. They are also preparing to set up business in the capital. I will also invite my second uncle from the Tang family and my uncle from the Wang family. They are all businessmen. It will be convenient for us to meet them today to discuss business later."
"Will it be too much trouble? Will it make things difficult for you? We can host a banquet for these people at a restaurant outside."
Xin's second aunt felt that such an arrangement would make Xin An's job difficult.
It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law, and it is even harder to be a daughter-in-law of a noble family.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I still have a say in this Marquis' Mansion."
"Besides, you are my family, my elders, and you must eat this meal today. This is my attitude, so just follow my advice."
If she couldn't even arrange this meal, wouldn't she have spent so much time in the Marquis' Mansion in vain? The two sisters Xin Yue and Xing Yu looked at him with admiration, thinking that their sister was so beautiful, so noble, and so capable.
"There are three sisters from the Tang family living in the mansion. I will introduce them to you when they come back. You are all about the same age, so you should be able to get along well."
Speaking of this, Xin An was worried about one thing, so he told a few people about the situation in the capital in recent months. It was the news that Lin Yao came to tell her today. Those families who were seriously injured were now busy looking for money. They had insisted on family background in marriage and now began to look at dowry. Several families even took out their illegitimate sons and daughters in exchange for money.
For merchants, this means that the powerful have given them some room to enter, and some merchants are already eager to try it out.
"Although the two sisters are engaged, they don't care about that in the eyes of those people. Their methods are not clean. You should be more careful when you go out in the future. After all, our Xin family is also rich and famous."
