Chapter 204

Luo Mingqingyuan was in Yijiang County preparing to welcome his relatives. Of course, Xi Muqin did not neglect the four children of the younger generation. Luo Mingchu, Luo Mingnian, and Luo Mingxin in Taiyuan Mansion all met and gave Xi Muqin a greeting ceremony. When studying, Xi Muqin had met twice before, and she was very optimistic about Luo Mingxin from what the master of the academy said, and she was quite proud now.

Although the Luo residence is well-organized, Xi Muqin still sees some shortcomings. All the servants have been well trained, but there are not many of them. Generally, the mistress of a sixth-rank official’s family has at least a big maid besides the steward. Two, some even four, and that's not counting the second, third and no-rank maids, the court maids.

And there are only 24 servants in Luo's huge mansion, including the four people Tao Lao brought out from the palace, as well as the people in charge of Zhuangzi and the shop.

Xi Muqin understood that Chen Xiuyan was pregnant and didn't want to let strange servants into the house, but she could help arrange it. There were many servants around her who were trusted by her in the Jin Palace, so she immediately picked six for Mrs. Yuan and Chen Xiuyan. , Luo Wenjin, Luo Wenser, and Luo Mingxin were serving in the courtyard, and the remaining one who was skilled in hands and feet was responsible for protecting Chen Xiuyan.

The matter of acknowledging the marriage was on the agenda, and Xi Muqin chose the nearest auspicious day, the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

The day before the festival, King Jin and Xi Muqin went to the Chen Mansion in person, accompanied by Chen Jin'an, Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan also went together.

When Chen Dazhong and Liu Shi learned that His Royal Highness King Jin and his wife came to the house in person, the descendants were bewildered. When did they meet the royal relatives? Oh, they met Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi is the cousin of King Jin, so they should It's also easy to get along with.

Chen Dazhong and Liu Shi didn't know about Luo Wenqian's life experience, and Chen Xiuyan also wanted to let him explain it himself, so the group sat in the main room, and suddenly knew that their young son-in-law was the biological son of His Royal Highness King Jin, their mouths opened wide. , Those eyes were so staring that people almost fell off the chair.

The Chen family didn't recover for a long time until King Jin and the others left.

"We, we, are married to the emperor's relatives?" Liu's mouth was still open, and she asked again to confirm in disbelief.

"Let's just stay the same as before, don't hold back Xiuyan." Chen Dazhong's perception was very clear.

"Father, both the head of the family and the second younger brother have a lot of strength, uncle..." Ning has actually thought about it a lot, her brother-in-law is already a sixth-rank official, and she helped the eldest brother-in-law of the Luo family to become a small official in the Dusi Yamen. The person in charge of the yamen is obviously their own uncle, so why didn't such an errand fall on them.

"When he was in Yijiang County, he worked in the yamen. He has experience and ability. Our family is a carpenter. Now we are also looking for a good shop in the city to open. It's a good job." Liu replied. road.

"But the children in our family say that they will be a lot shorter when they kiss each other in the future. If Lin Yun also has a father who is an official, in the future..."

"What Lin Yun thinks is how to read good books and change our family status." Chen Dazhong didn't like the eldest daughter-in-law using his grandson as a raft, "He has his own ideas, and he doesn't need you, a woman, to speak for him."

"Also, you two too." Chen Dazhong looked at the eldest son and second son who had just sent King Jin and the others back, and frowned, "If you have any plans for yourself, just talk directly and ask your wife to talk about what it looks like."

Chen Muzhu and Chen Mugui looked at their respective daughters-in-law, a little confused.

Ning raised her head to meet her gaze, while He lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Although she didn't have a lot of utilitarianism, she agreed with what the sister-in-law said this time.

"What's the matter?" Chen Muzhu took the lead as the eldest brother.

"Your wife wants you to rely on Jin'an to find a job in the yamen, what do you think about this?" Chen Dazhong asked directly.

Chen Muzhu glanced at Ning, sighed, "Father, my second brother and I have this plan."

Chen Muzhu's words made everyone in the Chen family in the main room look different, Ning and He were happy, Chen Dazhong and Liu were surprised.

"But we didn't intend to go to my uncle's yamen." Chen Muzhu said seriously, "Brother-in-law knows that you can't put it under your nose when you ask for an errand. What does it sound like if we go directly to my uncle's yamen?"

"Don't let people watch my uncle's excitement, we can't afford to lose face."

Chen Muzhu's words brought a smile to Chen Dazhong's face, and he also became interested and asked, "Then, what do you two brothers plan?"

"We want to go to Pianguan County and join the Zongbing Yamen." Chen Muzhu said, "We will start step by step and see how far we can go in the end."

"Going to be a soldier?" Liu exclaimed, "No, no, it's too dangerous to be a soldier."

Chen Dazhong was a little silent, there was something about Chen Jinan, he disappeared as a soldier, it was a miracle to see him for so many years, but he felt in his heart that his two sons were right.

"Ask your uncle?"

"Yeah." Chen Muzhu nodded, "Father, although we are not young now, we still have time. We didn't think about how capable we will be in the future, but we just thought that we shouldn't continue to be mediocre. Besides, our conditions Very good, with the help of my uncle, and now with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, our starting point is different from that of my uncle."

"Neither I nor the wooden cabinet are people who show off their abilities. We are very clear about how capable we are and what we can do."

"Aren't you afraid of suffering?"

"Father, we have all suffered hardships, what are we afraid of?" Chen Mugui echoed.

"Okay." Chen Dazhong was a little happy, and laughed out loud, "Since you have made your own decision, then you can figure it out."

"No." Ning stood up excitedly, her words were a little high-pitched, "It's hard to settle down now, what kind of work is hard to do, and I'm going to be a soldier. I won't let my uncle find a job for you, and you don't want to be a soldier either. It's good to be a carpenter."

Chen Muzhu looked at his daughter-in-law and said seriously, "Don't worry, the world is stable now, going to be a soldier is like keeping fit."

He Shi was also a little scared, but she didn't dare to stand up and refute like her sister-in-law, so she could only look anxious.

"Pianguan County is adjacent to Tatar, you pretend I don't know." Ning said angrily, "There is something, what do you want me to do with my three children?"

Ning's words stunned the people in the room.

"Three children?" Chen Muzhu looked at Ning's stomach with surprise on his face, "Have you got it?"

"En." Ning nodded with red eyes.

"That's great." Chen Muzhu was very happy, "Father and mother, let's go back first."

Chen Muzhu dragged Ning to her room, trying to talk in detail to completely reassure her.

"We're going back too." Chen Mugui winked at Mrs. He, and the couple also went back to the room.
