Chapter 379 Farewell
Yang Xiuxiu didn't understand anything else, but she knew that Shen Qingzhou's appointment was the top priority for their family.
"It's so urgent, there's really no time to delay."
Although it was urgent, Shen Qingzhou's appointment was a happy event. Shen Dali was rarely calm and turned to Manager An.
"Manager An, have someone pack up Qingzhou and the others' things, and ask the kitchen to make more food today.
In the evening, I invited the village chief and my second brother's family to come over for dinner, and treated it as a gift to Shen Qingzhou and the others.
Also, ask the kitchen to make some more delicious dry food for them to take along on the road, so Wanyi doesn't go hungry."
"Yes! This is the arrangement, little one."
The young lady will go to the capital with the master and the lady, and An Yue will also go with them. Manager An is reluctant to let his granddaughter go, but he knows that only by following the young lady can his granddaughter have a stable life.
It had only been ten days since Shen Qingzhou returned home, but he couldn't bear to leave his family and Wushan Village. He went to the capital to take up his post, and he didn't know when he would be able to return.
Once he enters the DPRK, he will be even busier.
"Qingzhou, I don't know the political situation, but you must remember the teachings of our ancestors: put the people first in everything you do. Don't be deceived by power and act greedily."
Shen Dali is not good at speaking nice words, but the ancestors of the Shen family were also officials, which is why such ancestral precepts were passed down.
Today he passed these words to Shen Qingzhou, hoping that he would remember them.
"Son, you must remember the teachings of our ancestors."
This afternoon, after hearing that Lin Ting and the others were leaving, Yang Xiuxiu felt as if her whole body had been hollowed out.
But despite this, she still wanted to take all the best things in the house back to Lin Ting and the others.
The Shen family's residence suddenly became busy. These days, different guests came to visit the house every day, and every day was bustling.
Everyone will inevitably feel lost when they think that tomorrow will be a lonely and deserted day.
In the evening, a long table banquet was set up at the Shen family's house. All the guests were family members, including the village chief's family, who had the best relationship with them.
"Brother, the journey is long and arduous, you and your sister-in-law must take care of yourselves."
The person who spoke was Shen Zhuang. Now the younger generation of the Shen family only had three brothers. As long as the three of them could unite well, there would be no need to worry about the Shen family not being able to develop.
"Brother Zhuang, I'm going to the capital. If anything happens at home, please take care of it with Brother Cong."
Shen Qingzhou held a glass of wine in his hand and toasted Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong.
"Don't worry, big brother. We brothers will take care of the family matters."
The village chief and Li Boxi also raised their glasses and said, "Qingzhou, don't worry about your family. You are the only official in Wushan Village. Your future is the future of Wushan Village."
There are servants at home to take care of the two elders, but they still need some relatives to look after them.
"I, Shen Qingzhou, would like to thank you all here. When I succeed in the future, I will never forget the care of my brothers and the village chief."
That night, everyone was saying polite words. Yang Xiuxiu was reluctant to leave Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting, and even more reluctant to leave Shen Wanyi, because this was her granddaughter who she had watched grow up.
"Wanyi, when you go to the capital with your parents, you must listen to them and the teacher, understand."
Shen Wanyi stood up and put his arms around Yang Xiuxiu's neck.
"I understand, grandma. I will definitely miss you and grandpa."
For a better future for everyone, Shen Wanyi and the others have to separate.
As long as their hearts are together, their separation now is only for a better reunion in the future.
At night, the lights in the Shen residence were on. Lin Ting turned over in bed and looked at Shen Qingzhou, who was not sleepy at all.
"Rest early. We have to travel tomorrow. Stay alert."
After saying that, she put her hand on his waist. After this separation, she didn't know when they would meet again. Shen Qingzhou couldn't sleep.
"My mother seems to be outside preparing food for us?"
The candle in the kitchen was always on. As long as Yang Xiuxiu wanted to do it, she would do it even if you tried to stop her. Lin Ting had called her several times tonight, but it was no use.
"Well! A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. After I go to the capital, my business is still here. I will take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so you don't have to worry too much."
Shen Qingzhou is the only son of Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu. He is not afraid that the two old people will have no food to eat, but the foolish filial piety of this era makes him feel depressed.
Lin understood what he was thinking, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't change it.
"I understand, my lady. You should go to bed early too."
The next day!
After Lin Ting heard them get up, three carriages were already ready. Shen Dali did not come out to see them off, but hid at home.
With tears in her eyes, Yang Xiuxiu took Shen Wanyi's hand and helped her into the carriage.
"Lin Ting, please pay more attention to Wan Yi on the road."
Lin Ting nodded: "I will, mother-in-law."
Everything that needed to be said was said yesterday. Lin heard that they were in a hurry, so he set off early.
I have been paying attention to the affairs of the border town along the way. The war in the border town is not serious, and Xiluo probably also has the intention of testing it.
Each time it was just a small fight, and they didn't kill all the enemies, but it still made life difficult for the people in the border town.
"My lady, with General Han and the Second Prince in the border town, it won't fall so quickly. Plus, Xi Luo doesn't dare to really fight us, so this matter is relatively easy to handle."
Shen Qingzhou sorted out the tense relations between the two countries. As long as General Han and the Second Prince can hold on this time, the future of Dongxia Kingdom will be bright.
"Once war breaks out, there will be casualties, and many families will lose their breadwinners."
At this point, Lin Ting began to doubt whether her original decision was wrong. If it weren't for her plan, the two countries could have at least been stable for a few more years.
"My dear, the war between Dongxia and Xiluo will come sooner or later. Xiluo has always wanted to annex us. If we can break out of the encirclement this time.
In the future, I will be at the mercy of others, and who will protect millions of families? You are not wrong, it is this era that is wrong."
Shen Qingzhou comforted Lin Ting, saying that although their positions were different, the relationship between the two countries would not change even without Lin Ting.
"Well, let's just think of it as a grand opening for the younger generation!"
Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting were sitting in one carriage, while Shen Wanyi and An Yue were sitting in another.
This time when they returned to the capital, they rode at full speed and arrived in the capital in just eight days.
On the first day in the capital, Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou were summoned to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they found that Qu Yuanxun was also there.
"Brother-in-law, His Majesty has summoned you as well?"
Lin Ting and his wife returned to Beijing so suddenly that they didn't tell anyone, which surprised Qu Yuanxun when he saw the couple.
"Lin Ting, Qingzhou, when did you come back?"
"This is a long story. I'd better go see His Majesty first. We can discuss our affairs in private."
Shen Qingzhou is this year's top scholar, so it is normal for the emperor to want to meet him. Their visit to the palace this time did not arouse suspicion.
However, before reaching the imperial study, the three of them first met Concubine Xian.
The virtuous concubine walked towards the front of the group with a lazy look on her face, her head full of jewels, and she looked elegant and graceful.
"Greetings, Madam Consort Xian!"
"Ok!"
The virtuous concubine nodded, her eyes first glanced at Lin Ting, and then fell on Shen Qingzhou.
"This person is actually this year's top scholar Shen?"
