Chapter 478 - 478 Chen Hu's Family Is Here
478 Chen Hu’s Family Is Here
Soon, Sun Yangxin left the capital with his family to take office.
He let go of the past, and so did Madam Zhao.
On the 20th of April, the imperial court’s document was issued. Su Hua entered the Ministry of Revenue and became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was a fourth-grade official.
Zhou Heng’s status was noble, and the emperor had already begun to hand over tasks to him.
Liu Zijin was the second scorer. He was sent to Furongzhou by the emperor and took over the position of magistrate of Furongzhou. He was also a fourth-grade official.
After the documents were released, Su Chong wrote a letter to Liu Zijin. His letter would be faster than the official order, but it would only be a few days faster.
Su Hua started to leave home early and return home late.
Su Chong had to go to the training ground with Qi Xingfeng every day and also left early and returned late.
The new Minister of Rites, Zhao Zhuohe, had already begun to prepare for Zhou Heng and Su Xiaoling’s marriage.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao also went out every day. Their cooperation with Yu Jing Hong had been confirmed. He Hai wanted to plan to build a large factory specializing in marinating sauerkraut and pickles. Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao also went over every day to take a look at the progress and bring some small items like large vats.
Chen Hu’s family was already on their way to the capital. These things would be prepared before they reached the capital.
Su Xiaolu began to prepare the herbs that Zhou Zhi needed to detoxify the first time.
The palace sent many precious things over, and Su Xiaoling began to prepare the wedding dress in peace.
Everyone in the house started to get busy.
In mid-May, Chen Hu and his family arrived in the capital.
“Sister Xiaolu, Sister Xiaoling.”
When Chen Xing saw Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling, he ran over excitedly and hugged them.
Chen Shi scratched his head. “Sister Xiaolu, Xiaoling.”
“Xiaolu, Xiaoling.”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu walked over with a smile.
It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu gave them a hug.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian were also exchanging greetings with Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.
They had just come to the capital and were unfamiliar with it. Now that they were suddenly in a strange place, they felt uncertain.
However, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao never said anything. Just like before, Madam Zhao naturally held Madam Qian’s arm and called out with a smile, “Sister-in-law, let’s talk inside.”
Su Sanlang also patted Chen Hu’s shoulder. “Let’s go home and talk.”
Chen Hu and Madam Qian smiled. They felt at ease. No matter how prosperous the capital was, no matter how long they had been separated from Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao, none of them had changed.
Her brother and sister-in-law were still the brother and sister-in-law they were familiar with.
They went into the house happily.
Su Xiaolu and the others also returned to their rooms.
With servants in the Su Residence, they didn’t have to work so hard anymore. Naturally, they had more time to catch up.
As soon as they entered the room, Chen Xing began to say, “Sister Xiaolu, Sister Xiaoling, let me tell you. Get this, when the news of Second Brother being the top scorer reached home, Su Dalang and Su Erlang were so angry that they fell sick.”
“They still wanted to bask in Second Brother’s glory, but unfortunately, they couldn’t. There are still many people who look for you and my parents to put in a good word for them. Hmph, we’re not stupid. We’ve never seen them treat us well in the past. We won’t fall for it.”
Chen Xing clenched his fists and said excitedly. He was the youngest, but he also knew that etiquette was about back and forth. It was not about one being poor and the other being rich.
Chen Daniu said, “My parents didn’t agree with any of them. It depends on what Second Brother wants to do. We can’t help Second Brother, and we definitely won’t burden him.”
It was not easy for Su Hua to become the top scorer. It was not easy for him to make a name for himself. How could they let him carry the burden?
Besides, their lives were very good now. They did not lack food or clothes. Because of the Shi You Wei business, the entire village was living well.
But they were still not satisfied.
With Su Sanlang’s family gone, they wanted to start with her family. Fortunately, her parents did not agree.
They did not care what others said. In any case, their family would not want to squeeze Su Hua dry. Their family had a clear conscience.
Su Xiaoling smiled gently. “What burden? We’re family to begin with. Second Brother even said that you should grow up quickly and become Second Brother’s helper.”
Chen Shi said like a little adult, “I’ll study hard.”
Chen Xing smiled. “I’ll study hard in the future too. In the future, I’ll take the scholarly examination and work with Second Brother.”
Chen Xing regarded Su Hua as his most idolized target. Because of Su Hua’s influence, a small seed had long been planted in his heart.
Su Xiaoling asked Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu, “Daniu, Erniu, what about your marriages?”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu blushed.
Chen Daniu said in embarrassment, “Father and Mother have discussed with the Niu family and asked us to come to the capital first. When the time comes, The father and mother of the Niu family will also come to the capital to arrange the marriage. After the marriage, it’s up to us to decide if we want to go back or stay here.”
The capital was prosperous. Chen Hu and Madam Qian left the choice to them.
No matter if they stayed or went home, they would have something to do.
Chen Daniu and Niu Xibao’s wedding was on June 6th. They had originally discussed that after she and Niu Xibao got married, they would go to Furongzhou and manage the restaurant with the Niu parents.
Chen Erniu and Niu Xian would stay in Goathorn Town to manage the restaurant.
Even if they stayed in the capital, it would only be temporary.
“Xiaoling, have you set your wedding date?”
Chen Daniu asked with concern.
Su Xiaoling blushed too. She said, feeling embarrassed, “I haven’t set a date yet. It should be soon.”
“That’s great. We don’t have to worry anymore.”
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu smiled.
Su Xiaoling also told Chen Daniu and the others about many things that had happened recently.
When Chen Daniu and the others heard them, they revealed worried and nervous expressions. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they knew that the matter had been resolved.
They did not expect so many things to happen during this period of time. Fortunately, they were all safe.
After enduring hardship, they were blissful.
On the other side, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao also told Chen Hu and Madam Qian about the many things that had happened recently.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian also looked worried and nervous. In the end, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Madam Qian patted the back of Madam Zhao’s hand and said gently, “Sister-in-law, everything is in the past. From now on, let’s just live a good life. The children have grown up. They have their own world. Let’s all relax.”
Madam Zhao nodded. “We still have to work with Yu Jing Hong. We have a lot of things to do.”
Su Sanlang and Chen Hu also smiled, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
This business was the beginning of their two families’ business. It was their foundation for settling down. In the future, they would also fight for this business.
The two families had always been close. What was there to be afraid of?
At night, Su Chong and Su Hua returned. The two families ate together. Chen Hu’s family congratulated Su Hua with wine. Su Hua smiled gently and returned the toast. Chen Hu was not good with words. Many words were condensed into one sentence. “Hua, Uncle and Aunt are happy for you and proud of you.”
