Nanny Zhang was old and it was inconvenient for her to travel long distances, so she and Uncle Chen stayed behind.
Xia Tian brought Ningxiang, Ningxue and Cuiling, as well as Youyou's wet nurse.
On Chen Nian's side, Ling Chuan stayed behind, but Mu Feng, Muchen, Mu Lin and other twenty-plus guards were also brought along.
The group of people sitting in carriages and riding horses walking on the streets of Sangluo City were quite eye-catching.
Youyou is almost four months old and is at the stage of being curious. He lies in Xiatian's arms, staring out the car window excitedly with his big eyes like black grapes.
From time to time he stretched out his hands and body to struggle outside.
Xia Tian could hardly hold him anymore, so she slapped his little butt lightly and said, "Behave yourself."
This child is curious about everything!
Youyou remained indifferent and kept leaning out to look.
I don’t know what’s so curious out there!
"Madam, look!" Ningxiang took Youyou and glanced out the window, stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong? What's outside? Why are you all so curious?" Xia Tian muttered, opened the window a little and looked out.
"What is this?" Xia Tian was also stunned for a moment. He saw that both sides of the street were full of people standing in neat rows without any noise. When their car arrived, they all knelt down in unison.
Is this for them?
Xia Tian was shocked. This scene was too big.
Shen Nian hadn't thought much about it, but was suddenly startled by the people kneeling.
He quickly jumped off his horse, clasped his fists, and said, "Fellow villagers, what are you doing?"
"Sir, we heard you were going back to Beijing. We couldn't bear to let you go!"
Said a commoner kneeling in the front.
"Yes, sir, can you please not leave?"
"Sir, since you are a good official, why don't you stay in Linzhou?"
"Sir, we in Linzhou need you!"
"Sir, please stay!"
…
The kneeling people spoke in unison.
It took Shen Nian a long time to understand what they said. It turned out that they thought he would never come back after returning to the capital.
I felt a little touched and quickly stepped forward to help the people up.
"Don't worry, folks. I'm not going to be transferred from Linzhou. I'm going back to Beijing to report on my work. I'll be gone for four or five months at most, and then I'll be back."
"Really? Lord Shen? You won't lie to us, will you?"
The villagers were delighted to hear that he had not been transferred, but they were still worried, fearing that Shen Nian had deceived them.
"Really, I will be back in a few months. My three-year term in Linzhou has not yet expired, so I will definitely not leave." Shen Nian quickly comforted them.
A term of office is three years, and he has only been in Linzhou for more than a year. The emperor should not transfer him so soon.
After hearing Shen Nian’s explanation, the people breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to make way, saying, “My lord and my lady, have a safe journey!”
The unanimous blessing made Xia Tian, who had not yet gotten off the car, feel a shock in his heart.
An inexplicable emotion gradually came over me. Although many people had never seen her, she came to see them off. What a great honor it was!
"Take care of yourselves, fellow villagers!" Shen Nian clasped his fists again.
After saying this, he got back on the horse.
The people on the street spontaneously made way for them, and only after they left the city did they no longer hear the deafening voice of "Bon voyage!"
The scene just now was so shocking that Shen Nian couldn’t calm down for a long time while riding on the horse!
After leaving the city and walking for a while, he looked back at Sangluo City again. There were still many people waving to them outside the city gate!
Shen Nian pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, and then waved to the people who were seeing her off at the city gate.
Then turn around and hurry on!
From now on, no matter how high his official position becomes or where he goes, he will never forget this scene today!
It also strengthened his determination to be a good official in the future!
On March 20th, the group finally arrived in the capital.
After returning to Beijing, I naturally have to go back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion!
"My Lord, the Crown Prince is back!" The doorman came running to inform Marquis Wu'an.
"What are you arguing about?" Marquis Wu'an came out of the study. He had not heard clearly what the doorman said in the room just now.
"My lord, the prince is back with his wife and the young master!" the doorman said loudly again with an excited look on his face.
"Really?" Marquis Wu'an still didn't quite believe it and asked again.
"Yes!" the doorman nodded.
"Why don't you go and greet him?" Marquis Wu'an shouted and walked quickly towards the gate.
The eldest grandson is back, and he must go and see him.
When Shen Nian and the others arrived at the door, Marquis Wu'an was already waiting at the door, and the second and third wives were also there.
Chen Nian got off the carriage, helped Xia Tian down, and held You You in his arms before stepping forward to salute Marquis Wu'an.
"Father! We're back!"
"It's good that you're back! This is my good grandson, right?" Wu Anhou replied indifferently, and without waiting for Shen Nian to answer, he reached out and hugged Youyou.
"Dad, his name is Youyou!" Xia Tian said quickly.
"I know." Wu Anhou replied, "Come on, my dear grandson, let's go home!"
Marquis Wu'an held Youyou in his arms and turned around to go into the mansion.
Shen Nian was stunned. Before he could say what he wanted to say, his father left in a hurry, holding the child.
Xia Tian smiled helplessly and quickly bowed to the second and third wives.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, they walked into the mansion hand in hand.
The second and third wives were also a little surprised that Marquis Wu'an took the child away.
I have never seen Marquis Wu'an cherish children so much.
Especially during this period of time, his brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a fly to death.
Even they want to hide away when they see it!
I didn't expect that after seeing my own grandson, he seemed like a different person.
Now even the prince can't make the marquis look at him differently.
Shen Nian was also surprised. When Lin Qing came from the capital to deliver gifts, he looked at the house deed and the dagger and was stunned for a long time.
When he got married, his father only gave him the deed to a pawnshop. Unexpectedly, when he had a child, he was given two pawnshops at once, as well as a dagger that his father treasured very much.
The backyard of Wu'an Marquis Mansion is still managed by the old lady.
Shen Nian and the others came back without saying hello in advance, so they were not prepared.
However, when they left, there were people staying in the yard, so when they returned to their own yard, they didn't have to clean up and could move in directly.
After putting the things in the house, Xiatian changed his clothes and went to the old lady's yard with Shen Nian to pay his respects to her.
When I get home, I have to meet my elders first. Otherwise, it will be annoying when the old lady uses filial piety to pressure me.
When the two arrived at the old lady's yard, they were stopped by Mu Jin before they even entered the door.
"Master, Madam, the old lady hasn't woken up yet, please wait a moment!"
The two were stunned. They didn't expect that there would be rules set for them?
What had offended her again?
