When the old lady came out of the Buddhist hall yesterday, Shen Yuyao felt a pang of anxiety when she saw her expression.
I was afraid that something would happen to my mother right after my father left!
But fortunately, my mother looks much better today.
The old lady knew what her daughter was worried about. She smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Come over and have something to eat."
"Mother, the emperor is here." Shen Yuyao said.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't tell me this. I've already told your eldest brother that I'm going to pray for your father in the Buddhist temple. You don't need to tell me anything."
Seeing her mother so calm and composed, Shen Yuyao felt a little relieved.
The emperor brought a lot of people with him this time.
Today was a grand court meeting, and he came here right after the court session. It could be said that he brought all the officials above the third rank in the capital with him.
With the arrival of more than a hundred people, the Shen family's yard was basically full. Even to enter the mourning hall to burn incense, they had to queue up.
Even if the Shen family was prepared, the sudden arrival of so many people would keep them busy for a while.
After the emperor paid homage to the old prime minister, he went into the inner room, accompanied by Shen Junye and Cheng Liyan.
The others stayed outside to greet the guests.
They didn't spend much time talking, but from the expressions on both sides when they came out, it could be seen that they must have had a good conversation.
At dinner time that evening, Shen Jun suddenly said to his third brother, Shen Junlin, "Let Mingchen stay and don't go back with you. From now on, let Mingchen take care of all the things related to my sister's family."
These words stunned everyone present.
It has been almost ten years since Shen Junlin was sent abroad. During this period, he has been traveling in remote areas. Although his official position has become higher and higher, it is impossible for him to return to Beijing for the time being.
As the only son of the third wife, Shen Mingchen has always been by his parents' side.
Now Mingchen is ten years old and has also taken part in the imperial examination.
However, he could not compare with his relatives and uncle in terms of imperial examinations. So far, he had only passed the examination for the rank of scholar and was still working hard to get higher grades.
Dear friends, logically, Shen Junlin should be worried, but his affairs are too important, and no one can replace his position.
Therefore, as soon as he submitted the memorial of worry, the emperor immediately revoked his favor and only gave him a one-month vacation.
So, it won't be long before Shen Junlin and his family will set off again to return to the northwest where they are now.
Shen Junlin didn't expect that his elder brother would want to keep Mingchen. He raised his head and looked at Shen Junlin, then his eyes fell on Cheng Liyan.
Shen Junlin knew that his elder brother would not make such a decision for no reason.
Cheng Liyan wiped his mouth and said, "I was the one who suggested this to my elder brother. Yesterday, Nan Xi and I went out for a walk and took a look at the changes in Wushuang Country.
I think that since our family doesn't lack officials, instead of letting Mingchen go through so much trouble, it would be better to let him stay with us for a few years.
Now that I'm still in office, I can think of a way to get him an identity. Let him stay with us and we'll find a school for him so he can learn some professional knowledge systematically.
Exchanging items is not a long-term solution.
To put it bluntly, the reason why things can go so smoothly now is because our relationship is still there.
But in a few years, it will probably be impossible to have such smooth traffic as it is now.
Now the state management is becoming more systematic and strict.
But what you have learned will not be lost. Let Mingchen study hard, because he will have to follow this path in the future."
In fact, the one who is in contact with Cheng Liyan and the others now is Shen Junye's nephew Shen Mingcong. The two sides have a lot of exchanges, and he also likes this nephew Shen Yuyao very much.
But no matter how good Mingcong is, he cannot travel between the two places freely like Mingchen, so no matter how much Cheng Liyan wants to train him.
Come to think of it, this good thing can only be given to Mingchen.
