The one arriving was Yun Jinhe, who had rushed to the capital from Bocai Academy...
He helped Murong Qing out of the carriage and glanced at the plaque above the main gate, "So this is Uncle's home, it looks so grand!~"
After arriving in the capital, the group sent the sickly Minister Feng back to his mansion, and then Jinhe took Murong Qing to visit family at the Yun residence...
Unexpectedly, Steward Li said everyone had moved to the General's mansion, so the two came to find them.
Murong Qing smiled and said, "I can hardly believe your family has such wealthy relatives in the capital!~"
It is said that the poor are ignored in the bustling city, while the rich have distant relatives even in the deep mountains...
The old Yun family was not a wealthy household, but because each member had a different status, they were well-received wherever they went.
Yun Jinhe also looked proud, "Let's go in first!~"
He had not yet met his uncle. The last time he went home for the New Year, he only heard his grandmother mention him...
It was said that Uncle Zhenshan was directionally challenged and got lost as soon as he went to the countryside. Yun Jinhe was puzzled, could such a person lead troops into battle?
In the main hall, Gu Zhenshan and Old Man Yun were in high spirits, drinking heartily.
Just as he was about to ask a servant to bring another jar of wine, Steward Cao suddenly walked in, "Young General, Young General..."
"What is it?" Gu Zhenshan's expression darkened, "Have you arranged a room for His Highness the Crown Prince? Old Cao, I'm telling you, if you don't serve His Highness the Crown Prince well, I'll kick your butt into two halves!~"
Steward Cao's face startled, he quickly covered his butt and muttered softly, "Young General, my butt is already in two halves..."
Can you kick out a butt with three halves, humph!
Gu Zhenshan: "..."
"What is it?"
"Young General, a young gentleman and lady have arrived at the gate, claiming to be your nephew, named, named Yun Jinhe!~" Steward Cao mumbled.
This time, before Gu Zhenshan could express his joy, Madam Gu quickly stood up and looked towards the gate, "Jinhe and Miss Murong are here!"
Little Xi Tian also put down the lobster and led Gao Jingde and Jin Xiaolou to run out...
Early in the morning, she heard her fourth brother say that her eldest nephew Jinhe was coming to the capital to study. She had finally waited for him.
Gu Zhenshan frowned and kicked Cao Guan's butt, "Jinhe is this general's own nephew, and you actually blocked him outside the gate, are you tired of living?"
Steward Cao: "..."
You should drink less wine. Didn't you order earlier that no matter who came to the General's mansion, their identity must be thoroughly investigated and they could not be easily let in!~
A moment later, Yun Jinhe walked in, holding his little aunt's hand, chatting and laughing...
Seeing his grandfather and grandmother were both there, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Grandfather, Grandmother, your grandson has come to pay his respects!~"
After speaking, Yun Jinhe cupped his hands towards Gu Zhenshan, "Greetings, Uncle!"
Gu Zhenshan examined Jinhe from head to toe, and the more he looked, the more he liked him, "This child is fair and clean, with a scholarly air, and looks like he will be a high official in the future. Haven't you eaten yet? Come, come, sit down quickly..."
After a few pleasantries, Murong Qing also introduced herself, and they sat down to eat.
Old Man Yun asked Jinhe, "I heard your father went to the academy to give you money. Is the tuition at the Imperial Academy that expensive?"
"Yes, Grandfather, tuition is the biggest part. The rest is just daily expenses and food and rent..." Yun Jinhe said.
Gu Zhenshan heard this and slapped his thigh, "Since you're in the capital, why rent a place? My uncle's mansion has plenty of rooms. My eldest nephew can stay here as he pleases!~ Tell the servants to make whatever you want to eat!~"
Zhen Meili on the side: "..."
He really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. This is the first time he's met Jinhe, and he wants to bring him to live at home. If you don't find it annoying, I do.
Besides, the girl beside Jinhe, with her bright and round eyes, you can tell from her face that she's not a good person. Isn't the master inviting a wolf into the house?
"No need, Zhenshan." Madam Gu smiled slightly, took Yun Jinhe's hand, "His fourth uncle also has a house in the capital, so he doesn't lack a place to live. At worst, Jiang Tun also bought us a large house. Your brother-in-law and I are about to return to Dashui Village, so that house will be left for Jinhe and Miss Murong to live in..."
It's vacant anyway, and Miss Murong is diligent, so she won't ruin the house.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, are you returning to the village?" Yun Jinhe asked in surprise.
"Yes!~" Madam Gu nodded, "A few days ago, your mother wrote a letter saying your third uncle opened a shop in the county town. Your grandfather and I want to go back and take a look. Besides, it's time to plant crops in the village, so we can't let it go to waste..."
Now that Da Man and Er Man are helping Zhao Guihua and Du Tieshan open shops, the responsibility of farming falls on Old Man Yun.
With so much land at home, if the seeds are not planted in advance, they might miss the good season.
Yun Jinhe felt a hint of self-reproach upon hearing this, and muttered, "How about, how about your grandson also returns to the village to help Grandfather with farming..."
The labor force at home is getting smaller and smaller, and he is afraid of tiring his grandfather.
"Forget it!~" Old Man Yun waved his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, "You just focus on studying in the capital. Don't worry about family matters. Study hard, and strive to get good grades in the autumn exams. If you lack money, write to the family, don't be shy to ask..."
"That's right, my eldest nephew!" Gu Zhenshan rubbed Yun Jinhe's head and said with a simple smile, "Don't be stingy with your money. If you don't have money, come to your uncle. If your uncle isn't here, ask Steward Cao. It's not much, but your uncle can still afford a few thousand taels of silver!~"
Zhen Meili directly: "..."
Good heavens, you're so proud you're almost flying.
She fancied a pair of gold bracelets a few days ago, but Gu Zhenshan refused to give her money to buy them. Today, for a nephew he just met, he's willing to give out thousands of taels. He's really not good at being a person...
Yun Jinhe heard this and felt amused, "It's just studying, it won't cost that much money. Jinhe appreciates his uncle's kindness!~"
It's good to have family around.
Xiao Xin Tian and Han Chi Jiao started arguing again over a big crab.
The two princesses rolled up their sleeves and ran out, intending to have a life-and-death duel...
Xiao Xin Tian saw this, covered her forehead, and sighed. When you two get married, you'll know how precious friendship is.
The next morning, Yun Si Man came to the General's mansion.
He wanted to convey Emperor Cheng's words to his sister, but before he could speak, Xiao Xin Tian dragged him to the back garden...
"What is it, sister?" Yun Si Man asked curiously.
Xiao Xin Tian winked at him, "I have something good to show you, fourth brother!~"
