Luo Mingqing was far away in Yijiang County preparing for the wedding. Of course, Xi Muqin did not neglect the four children of the younger generation. Luo Mingchu, Luo Mingnian and Luo Mingxin, who were in Taiyuan Prefecture, all met Xi Muqin and gave them a meeting gift. Luo Mingxin even went to her own Academy of Women.

Xi Muqin had met Luo Mingxin before, and she was very optimistic about Luo Mingxin after hearing what the gentleman from the academy said. She felt quite proud now.

Although the Luo Mansion was well organized, Xi Muqin still saw some shortcomings. All the servants were well trained, but there were not many of them. Generally, the mistress of a sixth-grade official's house would not only have the nanny in charge, but also at least a personal maid.

Two, some even four, not counting the second-class, third-class and non-ranked maids, and the servants in the yard.

There were only twenty-four servants in the huge Luo Mansion, including the four people Mr. Tao brought from the palace, as well as the people in charge of the village and the shop.

Xi Muqin understood that Chen Xiuyan was pregnant at this time and did not want to let strange servants come into the house, but she could help arrange it. There were many servants around her in the Jin Palace who were deeply trusted by her. She immediately picked six and gave them to Mrs. Yuan and Chen Xiuyan.

, Luo Wenjin, Luo Wense and Luo Mingxin were the waiters in the courtyard, and the remaining one who was very skilled in hands and feet was responsible for protecting Chen Xiuyan.

The matter of getting married was put on the agenda, so Xi Muqin chose the nearest good day, the Lantern Festival, on the 15th day 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 Jinan, and Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan also went together.

When Chen Dazhong and Mrs. Liu learned that His Royal Highness King Jin and his wife came to their home in person, the descendants were confused. When had they ever seen relatives of the emperor? Oh, they had met Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang is the cousin of King Jin, so they should

It's also easy to get along with.

Chen Dazhong and Liu didn't know Luo Wenqian's life experience yet, and Chen Xiuyan also wanted to let him tell him in person, so the group sat in the main room and suddenly found out that their youngest son-in-law was the biological son of His Highness Prince Jin.

, those eyes were so wide open that people almost fell off their chairs.

The Chen family didn't come back to their senses for a long time until King Jin and others left.

"Are we, are we, getting married to a relative of the emperor?" Ms. Liu's mouth had not yet closed, and she asked again in disbelief to confirm.

"We just need to be the same as before, and don't hold back our beauty." Chen Dazhong's understanding was very clear.

"Dad, the head of the family and the second brother are both very capable. My uncle..." Ning actually thought about it a lot. Her brother-in-law is already a sixth-rank official and helped the eldest brother-in-law of the Luo family go to Dusi Yamen as a minor official.

The person in charge of the yamen was obviously their brother-in-law, so why did such an errand not fall on them?

"When I was in Yijiang County, I worked as an errand in the government office. I have experience and ability. Our family is a carpenter. Now we are looking for a good shop to open in the city. We are doing well in dividing our duties." Liu replied.

road.

"But the children in our family will be a lot shorter in marriage. If Lin Yun also has a father who is an official, in the future..."

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

"Also, the same goes for you two." Chen Dazhong looked at his eldest son and second son who had just returned from seeing Prince Jin off, and frowned, "If you have any plans for yourself, just say it directly and let your wife speak."

Chen Muzhu and Chen Muchei looked at their respective wives, somewhat confused.

Ning raised her head to meet her gaze, while He lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Although she was not very utilitarian, she agreed with her sister-in-law's words this time.

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

"Your wife wants you to get a job in the Yamen through Jin An. What do you think about this?" Chen Dazhong asked directly.

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

Chen Muzhu's words made everyone in the Chen family in the hall have different expressions. Ning and He were happy, while Chen Dazhong and Liu were surprised.

"But we don't plan to go to my uncle's Yamen." Chen Muzhu said seriously, "Brother-in-law knows that you shouldn't let people get jobs under your nose, so what if we go directly to Uncle's Yamen?"

"Not to mention letting people watch my uncle's excitement, we ourselves can't afford to be embarrassed."

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

"We want to go to Pianguan County and join the General Military Yamen." Chen Muzhu said, "We will start step by step and see where we can achieve it in the end."

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

Chen Dazhong was a little silent. There had been an incident with Chen Jinan. He was a soldier and disappeared directly. It was a miracle that he could see him after so many years, but he felt in his heart that his two sons were right.

"Have you asked your uncle?"

"Yeah." Chen Muzhu nodded, "Dad, although we are not young now, we still have time. We don't think about how capable we will be in the future. We just think that we shouldn't continue to work hard. Besides, our conditions

Very good, with my brother-in-law helping me, and now with His Highness Prince Jin, our starting point is different from my brother-in-law's original starting point."

"Neither Mukai nor I are pushy people. We know very well how capable we are and how much we can do."

"Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

"Dad, we have all endured hardship, so what are we afraid of?" Chen Muchei agreed.

"Okay." Chen Dazhong was a little happy and laughed out loud, "Since you have decided for yourself, then you can decide what to do."

"No." Ning stood up excitedly, her words were a bit high-pitched, "Now that I have finally settled down, there is no job that I can't do. I want to be a soldier. I won't let my uncle find a position for you, so don't 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, joining the army is just like strengthening your body."

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

"Pianguan County is adjacent to Tatar. You think I don't know." Ning said angrily, "What's going on? What do you want me and my three children to do?"

Ning's words stunned everyone in the room.

"Three children?" Chen Muzhu looked at Ning's belly with surprise on his face, "Yes?"

"Yeah." Ning nodded with red eyes.

"That's great." Chen Muzhu said happily, "Mom and dad, let's go back first."

Chen Muzhu took Ms. Ning to his room and wanted to explain it in detail to completely reassure her.

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