Chapter 1332 The Son is Back

The protagonist of today's morning court was the envoy. Facing the gaze of the crowd, Chang Yi spoke confidently, "We have lived up to our mission. We have been on the mission for four years, and the three countries have agreed to allow our envoys to stay in the court. We have returned with honor. Long live the emperor."

The emperor knew best what had happened abroad in the past four years, and he said repeatedly, "My dear ministers, you have worked hard for many years. I will reward you according to your merits."

There was joy in Chang Yi's eyes. The greater the risk he faced, the greater the reward would be.

The morning court would not discuss in detail, it was actually just a formality. After the morning court was over, the envoys, Chang Yi and others stayed.

Zhou Shuren watched his son and father-in-law leave, paused for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the palace.

While Zhou Shuren was pausing, some ministers who wanted to congratulate him did not come forward to disturb him and left first, leaving only Wang Ju behind.

Wang Ju said, "My son is back now. You can take a closer look at him when you get home."

Zhou Shuren said faintly, "You don't understand."

Wang Ju's eyes widened. "Why don't I understand? Your son took the credit. You just need to be happy."

"That was all Chang Yi's life. If there was a better way, I would never let him risk his life for it."

Wang Ju patted Zhou Shuren's shoulder and said, "We all know you very well. Not everyone can make arrangements for all of their sons. Of course, this is also because your son is so ambitious."

Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain."

Wang Ju nodded, "Well, it looks like it's not going down yet."

Zhou Shuren quickened his pace. The weather on land was unpredictable, let alone at sea. In ancient times, there was no modern technology. If one lost his way or encountered a storm, he would basically just wait for death, with no chance of asking for help.

There are countless merchant ship silences every year. Changyi goes out to sea many times, and he always gambles on his luck. God knows how worried Changyi is about accidents at sea when he comes back, especially in the summer when typhoons are frequent.

Zhou Shuren silently chanted Amitabha in his heart. Fortunately, fortunately, his son came back safely. This time he had exceeded the emperor's mission. Even if the emperor wanted to support the Zhou family, he would not send Changyi out continuously. His son could stay in the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren's back straightened a little, and the uneasiness that had been weighing on the depths of his heart finally disappeared.

Wang Ju had gained a lot of weight in the past two years, and after chasing for a while, he was exhausted. "Walk slower."

Zhou Shuren looked at Wang Ju with disdain, "If you keep doing this for a few more years, this body will be worth a fortune."

Wang Ju, "Don't scold me in such a roundabout way."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Hurry up, it's already raining."

Wang Ju looked up, and raindrops hit her face. Her expression changed, "It really rains as soon as I say it."

Zhou Shuren had already run away while they were talking.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan looked at Yushuang's belly and said, "Your belly is quite big. It will be hard to give birth when the time comes. You should move more in the remaining months, control your appetite, and eat less sweets."

After she got pregnant, this girl especially liked eating sweets. She accepted all kinds of cakes and pastries. It was scary for Zhulan to see.

Zhao was also worried, "I shouldn't have let my son-in-law look at you. He can only compromise in front of you."

Yu Shuang was embarrassed, "I feel hungry if I don't eat sweets. I can't sleep at night because I'm so hungry."

Su Xuan continued, "You have to be patient. Your first child is too big and it's hard to give birth."

Yu Shuang also knows the seriousness of the situation, "I will walk around more."

The women were chatting casually, eating fruits or drinking juice, while on the men's side, Liu Feng was being teased.

Liu Feng knew that his father-in-law would be back home soon, and the sweat on his forehead never stopped. He wiped the sweat with a handkerchief from time to time.

Minghui was eating watermelon. "Brother-in-law, you should eat more watermelon. Watermelon is cold and will make your stomach uncomfortable. My second uncle might let you go."

Mingrui didn't help his brother-in-law and married his sister. It is normal for his father to feel embarrassed. If he wants to help, it is to help his father.

Mingjia smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I'll give the remaining watermelons to my brother-in-law."

Mingyun patted his two younger brothers on the head with a fan, "You actually gave me such bad advice. Uncle's temper will fade away if you just wait and see. If you want to play tricks on me, just wait and see. Uncle is the most cunning person in the family, and I will remember him forever."

The sweat on Liu Feng's forehead increased. He didn't have much contact with his father-in-law, mainly because his father-in-law was never at home. When he was in the capital, his father-in-law was also very busy and had no time to take care of him. Now he took advantage of his father-in-law's absence to marry a wife. With a gulp, he became even more nervous and uneasy.

Mingyun's eyes were full of smiles. Mingjing shrank her neck. Big brother would never be so kind. Big brother was the best at stirring up trouble and scaring people.

Ming Feng looked at his brother-in-law with sympathy. Except for Ming Jing, everyone in this room was a little fox.

Ever since the eldest sister got married, the brothers have taken turns visiting their brother-in-law, and from time to time they would mention their father and recount in detail what he had done in the past. Even though he didn't have much impression of his father, he remembered all of his great achievements. It's so tragic! The eldest brother-in-law is really so tragic.

Changzhong did not join in the conversation with the younger generations, but sat next to his eldest and fourth brothers.

What a coincidence, today is the day when the Hanlin Academy is closed, and everyone in the family is gathered together.

Boss Zhou had just gone out to receive the things Chang Yi brought back. To the man who was preparing his daughter's wedding dowry, Boss Zhou said enviously, "Chang Yi is really capable. He has been away for four years and brought back so many good things. He has brought back a lot more."

Changzhi doesn't have to worry about money, and he has a rich wife, which is also admired by people, "Second brother follows his mother and knows how to grab money."

Boss Zhou, "I have to thank Chang Yi for helping me get a lot of high-quality gemstones with the least amount of money. Chang Yi helped me a lot in preparing Yu Lu's wedding dowry so beautifully."

Changzhi didn't need his second brother's help. His second brother treated everyone equally and helped every room. "It's not easy for the second brother to be away from home, and he was always thinking about home. Now it's all right. The hardship has finally paid off for the second brother."

Changzhong thought about the gifts his second brother had given him. They were all from his family savings. His second brother was very generous to him. "I don't know what kind of reward my second brother will get."

Chang Yi did not leave the palace until noon, mainly because there were too many things to explain in the past four years, and there were also some important letters that Chang Yi had to hand over to the emperor in person.

After leaving the palace, Chang Yi and his friends got on their own carriages. On the way home, Chang Yi's mouth curled up. The imperial edict, as long as he got home, the imperial edict should follow him home. Chang Yi's hands trembled a few times with excitement.

Arriving at the door of his house, Chang Yi looked up at the plaque of his own house. Steward Ding did not urge him, but waited quietly for the Second Master to take action.

Changyi finally walked up the stairs, raised his hand and touched the door. He was home, finally home. He then quickened his pace and walked towards the main courtyard.

Chang Yi walked for a while and then stopped, "Prepare the incense table."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Steward Ding raised his voice and said, "Yes."

Chang Yi once again quickened his pace and walked towards the backyard. His current home was too big. When he arrived at the main courtyard gate, he ignored the maids and servants who came to greet him. He took two steps at a time and shouted before he even entered the house, "Mother, my son is home, my son is back."
