The weather is getting colder.

No one in the Zhu family thought that Zhu San and his wife would come back at this time.

Therefore, when someone from below reported that the third master and his wife were back, the Zhu family could not believe it.

"What, Third Brother and the others are back?!"

"Why are they back? Didn't they go to Beijing?"

"Yes, why did you come back suddenly?!"

…

It's not that Zhu Si and Zhu Wu were expecting Zhu San to do well, but their return was too sudden.

Abruptly, they were worried that Zhu San had been in trouble outside and had come back to seek refuge.

Afraid that Ye Yuran would be worried, neither of them reported to Ye Yuran immediately, but went out first to see what was going on.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, people who went out in Zhujia Village have returned, and the village roads are full of people.

One by one, they saw a strange carriage entering the village and started to inquire about it.

When Zhu San's figure appeared on the carriage, everyone was surprised.

"Zhu San?!"

"Why are you back?"

…

Zhu San smiled and said: "Come back to celebrate the New Year."

"You didn't even come back when you were a county magistrate, so why did you come back just after being promoted? Didn't you just get promoted? If you get such a good promotion, you can still go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year?"

Zhu San was embarrassed to say that he didn't come back when he was the county magistrate, mainly because he was too busy.

Qingyuan County was poor, so he stared at it front and back.

Especially when it comes to winter, I dare not relax.

It would take two or three months to come and go, and it would delay a lot of things. That's why he didn't go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Whether or not his superiors allowed him to come back was completely different.

While talking, the carriage was about to arrive at the door of Zhu's house.

Zhu Si and Zhu Wu stopped him.

"Third brother..." Zhu Wu looked at the people in the carriage and saw that although they were dusty, they didn't look like they were in distress, and he was slightly relieved.

When Zhu San saw them coming out to greet people, he thought it was Ye Yuran who sent them out, and happily jumped out of the carriage to talk to them.

"You guys go back in the carriage. The fourth and fifth sons and I will go back on foot."

Xu Yujin opened the car curtain and said hello to Zhu Si and Zhu Wu. When Zhu San said this, she did not disturb the three brothers and left space for them.

"Third brother, why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you go to the capital to be an official?"

"I've finished my busy work. Your Majesty has allowed me to return to my hometown for the New Year. After the New Year, I have to rush back to the capital next year. I won't be able to stay for long..." The main reason is that the time on the road is too long. He is afraid that he can only stay for the few days of the New Year.

God, just count with a few palms, and you have to go on your way.

Otherwise, he would be so busy opening a new year's account and he would be late going back, which would probably cause some trouble.

In previous years, it was not impossible for Beijing officials to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, but the busier parts were all done on a rotating basis. You would go back this year, and he would go back next year.

If there is any emergency, no one can move.

Like this year, most of the officials in the capital were in prison. It was a great blessing that Zhu San could be released.

Hearing what Zhu San said, brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu San smiled and asked about the current situation at home.

What can happen at home?

As long as these brothers are here, everything will be fine.

Except that old man Zhu made a fuss about taking concubines, and then Zhu San was promoted to an official, the village became very lively.

Balabala, tell Zhu San the key points.

Zhu San: "..."

Doesn’t his father have four maids who live with him, so why would he want to take a concubine?

Zhu Si complained: "Maybe he wants to change his taste. In the past, he didn't dislike people coming from the building, but for some reason, he suddenly disliked them and wanted to find someone cleaner..."

"Clean means very clean. I have someone else's seed in my belly. I want to blame it on dad." Zhu Wu rolled his eyes at the side, "When I exposed it at the time, dad still blamed me. I don't know what dad was thinking. I

My own son is actually no better than a bad person."

Speaking of that incident, Zhu Wu's tone still contained a bit of resentment.

"Then how come...it turned out to be grandpa's concubine?" This result surprised Zhu San.

But when I think about it carefully, I seem to understand my grandfather’s painstaking efforts.

Zhu San sighed in his heart, feeling that old man Zhu was not as "sensible" as his grandfather.

I guess the most beautiful thing his father did in his life was to marry his mother Ye Yuran and give birth to a bunch of their children.

Xu Yujin's carriage entered the house, so it was naturally impossible to hide it from Ye Yuran anymore.

When Ye Yuran got the news, he quickly put down the medicine book in his hand and walked out quickly.

"Oh, why are you guys back?! In this cold weather, you didn't suffer much along the way, right?"

Ye Yuran warmly welcomed Xu Yujin out of the carriage, asking questions with concern.

He also scolded Zhu San a few times, saying that he was such an old man but still so ignorant. He didn't even take care of his own daughter-in-law. Where did he go?

"Mom, Sanlang met the fourth and fifth brothers on the road, so he got off the carriage early to talk to the fourth and fifth brothers." Xu Yujin said with a smile, "He took good care of me along the way and didn't suffer much. We

We are almost arriving at Anjiu Town, and we stayed at an inn, otherwise we would have come back early."

"It's such a cold day, you should take more rest. Don't rush on your way, your body is the most important." Ye Yuran touched Xu Yujin's hand, feeling that the Tang Pozi in her hand was not warm anymore, so she asked the maid to give one to her.

New ones are coming.

He also told Xu Yujin that Zhu Bamei made this by herself, and the patterns were all fashionable. Although they were not as good as those in Beijing, they were all made with great care.

"Don't worry, they're all new, I haven't used them."

"Mom, how could I dislike it? If the one you have used is better, I will use it and take it out if I miss you."

"Look at your little mouth, it's so sweet and you can make the old lady happy. Hurry up and sit down and rest. I'll let some sweet soup cook on the stove to warm you up."

"Hey, that's so kind. I've been in the carriage for a long time, and I'm hungry and thirsty. I just want to ask my mother for some food."

…

A brazier was lit early in the house, making it warm.

A maid came over to help Xu Yujin take off her cloak and hang it up.

Ye Yuran asked Xu Yujin to sit down by the brazier. After a while, Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu came in. The rest of the Zhu family also received the news and rushed towards the main courtyard.

When Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu saw Zhu San, their eyes immediately turned red. They pulled Zhu San and kept telling him that he had lost weight and must have not eaten well outside and needed to make up for it.

Old Man Zhu didn't win over his parents, so he could only stand aside angrily, interjecting and asking Zhu San whether he had really been promoted, what the capital looked like, whether it was difficult to be an official, and whether the emperor could serve him well...

Well, Old Man Zhu does care about Zhu San, but he also cares about the benefits that Zhu San will bring after his death.

It's just that his emotional intelligence is not as high as other people in the Zhu family, and sometimes the things he does make people feel a little...

No, as soon as he opened his mouth, the fourth and fifth rooms looked at Mr. Zhu several times.

Even the second wife, Mrs. Liu, also glanced at him.

The only ones who couldn't see it were probably Zhu Da, the two brothers who worked hard all day farming and studying crops, and Mrs. Zhu who put a filter on her son.

Apart from these small pleasures, Zhu San's return is quite happy.

Everyone was surrounding Zhu San, but Xu Yujin did not feel lost. After all, she still had her mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law who cared about her, who had been sending her the warmth of family.

Xu Yujin said, otherwise, she would go against Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu. Mr. Zhu only has the energy of his grandson and son in his eyes, and she almost thought that she was just an "outsider" who didn't need anyone's attention.

Over there, the older generation is concerned about Zhu San. It is inconvenient for the brothers to surround Xu Yujin, the sister-in-law/sister-in-law, so they can only surround Zhu San. On this side, the daughters-in-law of the Zhu family, headed by Ye Yuran, are surrounding Zhu San.

Xu Yujin transferred.
