Chapter 436 The New Elite of the Capital: Glory and Bonds
Wenwen knew that it was her personal maid, Liaoyu.
Several years have passed, and Liaoyu has grown into a young woman, about the same height as her older sister.
It must be said that her family took meticulous care of her during the years she was mentally impaired, and Liao Yu, who stayed by her side, also deserves much credit.
In detail, it all comes down to gratitude and sisterly affection.
Perhaps it was because of the increase in her cultivation over the past few years that Wenwen felt her fragmented memories were gradually recovering, and she gradually remembered the ins and outs of some things.
Take Liaoyu for example. Liaoyu is the granddaughter of her grandfather's subordinate. She is quite skilled in martial arts. In order to accompany Wenwen, the maidservant accompanies Wenwen to practice martial arts during the day and massages her muscles and bones at night. Although she has sisters and mother by her side, the personal maidservant still has a lot to do.
The key point is that at that time, she was stubborn for some reason and didn't want anyone else to massage her, she only wanted Liaoyu. Therefore, Liaoyu had a different meaning for Wenwen.
Without giving it much thought, Wenwen walked straight up to Yu.
"Liaoyu, I'm back," Wenwen said with a smile.
"Miss."
Liao Yu choked back tears and said, "...Miss, I...I've finally seen you."
Besides the master and servant couple, the other servants who got to see their masters were also in tears.
For a moment, everyone in front of the general's mansion was overjoyed and wept, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
“Father, Mother, let’s go inside and talk,” Wen Qilin said.
"Alright, let's go back to the manor, let's go back to the manor!" Wen Yuanqian said loudly.
After he finished speaking, the entire Wen family, young and old, followed Wen Yuanqian and entered the General's Mansion through the main gate.
The servants shouted in unison, "Welcome back to the manor, Master!"
Then, firecrackers went off in unison.
Thus, the General's Mansion of the Central Zhao Kingdom finally welcomed back the Wen family's masters.
The next day, Wen Qilin and his wife, Madam Ren, went to the palace to express their gratitude.
Just as Yao Maimai had predicted, all the noble and aristocratic families in the capital went to great lengths to invite the Wen family to this banquet and that banquet.
The gatekeeper of the Wen family mansion receives a stack of invitations every day, including visiting cards and invitations.
This has always been the prevailing trend in the capital. After being exiled for several years, the Wen family returned to the capital. In everyone's eyes, they were now the new elites, the undisputed new elites.
Despite their impatience with dealing with these matters, the Wen family, bound by the ways of the world, held a banquet in order to reintegrate into the corrupting influence of the capital.
The banquet was not only to announce the Wen family's return to the capital, but also to subtly inform everyone that soon, the men of the Wen family would be stationed at the border, and that they would need the emperor's permission to return to the capital in the future.
This is both an honor and a burden; in this life, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw.
Without the soldiers stationed on the front lines, there would be no peace and tranquility in every household.
......
Time flew by, and Wen Qilin's month-long vacation came to an end. After submitting his memorial to the Emperor, the city gates opened at the crack of dawn the next day, and a troop of fast horses galloped out of the city.
"Uncle, we've all left. Is everything alright at home?" Wen Chengfeng asked.
“Yes, Uncle, how about…” Wen Chengxi said worriedly.
"Third brother, fourth brother, what are you worried about? Do you still think Grandmother and the others are weak women?"
Wen Chengbin laughed and said, "My aunt, my mother, my third aunt, and my younger siblings are all formidable. Don't worry! No one can bully them. They won't make a move unless they do, because once they do, they'll take down a whole bunch of them."
"Haha, you're right, you two can rest assured," Wen Chengjian agreed.
“Grandfather is getting old, and my father…” Wen Chengfeng hesitated before continuing.
"You brat, what are you worrying about!"
Wen Qilin interrupted him, saying, "Don't say he's old in front of your grandfather; he doesn't like hearing that."
"Also, your dad isn't the same unruly dad he used to be. You need to have some faith in him. This time, when a few of us go to guard the border, here's how I planned it..."
Afterwards, Wen Qilin told Wen Chengjian and his brothers about his plan.
“When you return to the northern desert, you’ll have to work hard, running between the border and the mountains. When it’s your turn to guard the border, guard it diligently and don’t be blindly arrogant. When it’s your turn to go to the mountains, take the people from the valley and go to the Yanqian Mountains for training.”
"Remember, you can only go to the mountain range when your cultivation reaches the second level, and you can only enter the inner circle when you reach the fifth level or above. The monsters in the inner circle are not to be trifled with."
"Also, pay close attention to the people in the valley. If you notice that everyone is staying on the third floor for too long, you should head to the mountains. Remember that."
The Wen family boys nodded and said, "Father/Uncle, don't worry, we've got it."
......
The palace of the general who protects the country.
On this day, the Wen family, which had been quiet for many days, welcomed the Zhou family. A moment later, the Yao family also arrived, followed by Ren Zuan with his daughters Ren Jinning and Ren Randan.
Needless to say, the children gathered together again, creating a noisy scene that almost turned the place upside down, which was really annoying.
Yao Maimai, Yao Suisui, Ren Randan, and Ren Ranman hurriedly went to find the Wenwen sisters.
When several families gather together, there is bound to be some eating and drinking. After they have eaten and drunk their fill, Wen Yuanqian led them to the study.
"Master, the tea is here."
After the steward served tea, he dismissed the servants at the door and stood guard at the entrance of the study.
"Father, the day after tomorrow is the anniversary celebration of the Zhou family school."
Master Zhou said to Wen Yuanqian, "My grandfather would like to invite everyone over. What do you think?"
"Go, definitely go."
Wen Yuanqian nodded, then changed the subject, "Kangyan, these kids in the family are really causing trouble. Do you think we should find them a place to continue their studies, or something?"
“Father, I was just about to tell you about this.”
Master Zhou looked at the people present and continued, "My grandfather has found a few more promising students at the clan school, and he is thinking of opening a small class."
"Actually, it's just like what my elder brother said, training new people. I was thinking that all the children in the family could go to the clan school to continue their studies. Besides cultivation, they can't neglect anything else."
“Yes, yes, yes, we can’t let our cultivation level rise while we remain ignorant of other common knowledge. These children are still young and need to learn more.” Ren Zu’an agreed.
"They set off from Beijing before dawn every day and returned to the city after school at night?" Yao Changhao asked.
“Brother-in-law, you must be willing to give up your place. There’s a place to stay at the clan school,” Master Zhou said jokingly.
“Oh my! Brother-in-law can’t bear to part with it, but I can. Keeping it at home is like having a few lions running around, roaring every now and then, which is really annoying. Let’s move there. I want some peace and quiet for a few days. Besides, going back and forth is a waste of time, isn’t it? Am I right, Father?” Wen Qikang asked.
"Then it's settled. We'll send them to the clan school together, and they can go home on their days off?" Master Zhou asked.
"Actually, it's fine if they don't live in the clan school. They can live with me on the estate and go to and from school with me every day. What are you worried about?"
Ren Zuan smiled and continued, "Besides, everyone on the estate is family, so there's no need to worry about others."
"Haha, that's great! We'll send those rascals over there in a few days."
Before the Wen family children had had enough fun, the adults in the family found them a good place to keep them in check.
"Father, where is Wen'er?"
Master Zhou suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.
