Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Chapter 279 Entering Xue Mansion for the First Time

O(n_n)O Ha! I'm back~~~ Did anyone miss me? Well, judging by the data, it seems that no one has.

Funan Prefecture is nearly a thousand miles away from Shangjing, but a lot of trouble was saved by traveling with Princess Fu's carriage.

The journey was quite comfortable and lively.

This was Qing Ning's first time traveling far away since coming to Daxia, so naturally everything he saw was new and strange.

The customs and habits of different places are really different from each other.

When they meet, they join in the fun, and the elders don’t urge them. They all want to see the country’s customs and the peace of the people.

The territory of Daxia is vast. It has the small, beautiful and elegant Qingjun Mountain in Funan Prefecture, the endless thousands of miles of smooth roads, and the high and majestic natural moats that are so steep and dangerous that they reach into the clouds.

If you see a beautiful scene, you should stop to appreciate it. Sitting under the sky is another kind of experience.

There are those that are pleasing to the heart and those that are unsightly.

Meng Jinhuai took the responsibility to act as the bright moon in the clear sky, redressed the injustice of the victims, and punished those evil officials and bandits.

For the people who suffered from the cold disaster, the local officials paid more attention to their treatment than usual because of Meng Er and others.

In this way, the group entered the capital on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After receiving the letter, each mansion sent people to the city gate to welcome him early, and even the palace sent people to wait.

The people of Kyoto couldn't help but be curious about which important figure was coming that had so many people waiting here.

"I'm coming."

In the bright daylight, the moving figures became clearer and clearer, the sounds of carriages and horses were getting closer, and then a little servant shouted loudly.

Wu Dajian immediately stood up and led the crowd to stand at the front, looking forward to it.

When they reached the city gate, Wu Dajian was already there to greet them.

"This servant pays respects to all the masters. You have worked hard on the journey."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Why are you waiting here?"

Meng Jinhuai got off the carriage and gave Wu Yong a light support.

Several young men landed together and greeted Wu Yong.

Wu Yong made way for them and said, "Please excuse me, my servant."

Then he looked at Meng Jinhuai and said respectfully, "Second Prince, the Saint and the Queen have been looking forward to your return. As soon as the time came, they sent people to welcome you. This good job was shamelessly snatched by me."

He glanced behind them and asked, "Second Prince, did Mr. Yu and the Chen family return together?"

"Yes, we went back together. But the road was bumpy and my grandfather's chronic illness came back. He actually lay down in the car to rest."

Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but feel anxious when he said this. It was a sin that he would not have let his grandfather come back with him.

"Has Mr. Yu's old illness recurred? Has Doctor Ma been with him to see him?" Wu Yong asked anxiously.

"I followed him. Grandpa Ma was worried about him coming back alone. He gave me acupuncture and medicine, and the symptoms are now milder than before."

"That's good, that's good. Mr. Yu has worked so hard for our Great Xia. If the Saint and the Queen knew about this, they would definitely be heartbroken."

Wu Yong's words sounded like a compliment, but they were sincere.

Meng Jinhuai comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandpa Ma said that he'll be fine after he comes back to rest. By the way, the Chen family is with Old Madam Xue, and Old Madam Xue invited them to stay at the Xue Mansion temporarily."

Hearing that nothing was wrong, Wu Yong finally felt relieved. When he heard about the Chen family's accommodation arrangements, he thought of the saint's instructions.

"When I came here, the Saint said that the Chen family had made great contributions this time, and he wanted to let them live in the Honglu Guest House."

(Note: The Honglu Guesthouse was an official hotel under the jurisdiction of the Honglu Temple, which was responsible for foreign reception and ethnic affairs. This hotel was dedicated to receiving foreign guests and handling ethnic affairs. Its facilities and services were very comprehensive, similar to modern international hotels.)

"Eunuch Wu, there's no need to bother. My family received the news a month ago and has already prepared the upper courtyard of our house, just waiting for the distinguished guest to arrive."

Everyone looked at the person who came. This person was the second son of Duke Xue, Xue Yi.

Xue Yi walked closer and bowed to Meng Er, and everyone bowed in return.

"Is there something wrong with Xue Youcheng?"

Xue Yi knew that he would have a hard time explaining this to the Saint, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grand Eunuch. The Chen family has just arrived in Kyoto and is unfamiliar with the city. They will be well-acquainted with my family and can be taken care of. I will report this to the Saint, and I believe His Majesty will agree."

Upon seeing this, Wu Yong said no more and just said that he would go back home with them to see the distinguished guest before leaving.

In this way, everyone returned to their own homes.

When the carriage arrived at Xue's mansion, Duke Xue had already issued an order to open the middle gate to welcome guests today.

The men in the mansion were waiting in front of the door early, while the others were waiting inside the second gate.

Since entering the city, the Chen family has been stunned by the prosperity of the capital. From the initial curiosity, they gradually developed some uneasiness.

After entering Xue's house, he was so shocked by the scene that he didn't dare to take another step or say another word for fear of making a fool of himself.

Xue Yi led his children and grandchildren to kowtow to Old Madam Xue, and then invited the men from the Chen family to the front hall to meet Duke Xue.

Before leaving, Xue Mingxiang quietly told his brother to take good care of the two elder brothers and four younger generations of the Chen family.

There is no way. In this recognition of relatives, Xue Mingxiang is of the same generation as the Chen Changhe brothers.

Xue Jingzhang naturally did not respond and just wanted his sister to be at ease.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm here for you." Xue Jingchen caught up from behind and said softly.

Seeing their husbands and sons gone, Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Mother, Second Aunt, don't worry. Father and my brothers will be fine."

Qingke patted Li's hand gently, soothing their uneasy emotions.

"Alas, the Xue family is so grand, we've never seen it before, let alone thought about it. I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, I'll offend the master and lose face."

"Me too." Tan echoed.

"We are invited guests, so we should be careful with our words and actions. There is no need to be so cautious and reserved, it will only make us look petty."

"Big sister is right. Mother and aunt should be more at ease."

Li and Tan felt relieved after hearing their youngest daughter's words of comfort. Come to think of it, being overly cautious made them seem timid.

After figuring it out, both of them straightened their backs a lot.

Old Lady Chen was walking ahead of them. After hearing this, she was very satisfied with their performance. It was also her first time seeing such a fairy-like mansion, but at least she could still keep her composure. Seeing the younger generations behave so decently, she was even happier.

The group walked for a long time, with twists and turns, which really gave the Chen family a lot of experience.

Qing Ning looked carefully along the way and was amazed.

She is still superficial and has not seen enough of the world.

Every step brings a new scene, with unique and scattered layouts, strange mountains and rocks, fragrant herbs and flowers can be seen everywhere. Perhaps because it is approaching the New Year, the courtyard is filled with blooming flowers.

"Mother, you are back. I thought you had forgotten us."

A beautiful woman came out quickly from inside, took over Mother Chen's place, and helped Madam Xue walk in.
