After being divorced for three years, the bad husband brought his son to ask for forgiveness

Chapter 27 Bringing Family to Beijing

The Li family is not a large family, but it is also a large one. When Mr. Li got married to his first wife, they gave birth to Yan's mother. After his first wife died, he married the current Mrs. Li, Zhang.

Zhang gave birth to Li Chun and Li Xia. Li Chun got married and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Li Xia gave birth to a son and a daughter, and another one is currently in her belly.

The only people who can work are Li Chun, Li Xia, and their sons Li Changji and Li Changxiang.

Li Chun opened his mouth but didn't say a word, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Xia happily said that she had decided on the 19-year-old Li Changji, "Jiwawa has studied for a few years, can read and write, and can do math. He has been running errands for Jinfang in the past few years, so he has become a good person."

"He is steady, perceptive, and good at talking. He has a better future in Jinyesi than us. Several big customers are leaving today, and he will go to help deliver the goods. Let him come and talk to you later. Just tell him if you have any instructions."

What Yan Chaonian didn't know was that when the two brothers brought the news back to the Li family, the Li family was ecstatic at first, and then they argued endlessly about who should go. Li Chun's wife naturally supported her man. You have to know that Li Chun is the manager of the brocade workshop, and he is the one who takes care of everything inside and outside the workshop. He is a capable man.

Li Xia's wife is very aggressive and says that her husband is smart and young, so he will have a better future if he goes there.

The two sisters-in-law had a verbal exchange for a while. At this time, Li Changji's wife also interrupted and said that only Li Changji was the most suitable because he was young, capable and could read and write. Old Master Li also favored his eldest grandson, so he finally made the decision.

For this reason, Li Chun felt sorry for Li Xia. On one side was his son, and on the other side was his brother. He was in a dilemma.

Yan Chaonian thought that she would settle on her second uncle, but in fact, she preferred her second uncle more, because although her second uncle disliked her the most, he was also the best to her.

"I don't have much to tell you, except to tell him that when he goes to Jinyesi, he should put the interests of Jinyesi first and not show his partiality to Chaojinfang. As for the rest, I'll let my father give him some advice."

Li Chun nodded and said a few more words about Jinfang before leaving.

As soon as the others left, Yan's mother spoke up, "Your grandpa is still a person that I don't understand."

When people get old, they become confused and ignorant.

"Your second uncle should be in charge of this matter. Although he is not very smart sometimes, he is very tactful and smart. It won't take long for him to be able to take effect in Jinye Division."

"If Ji Chang goes there, he will just run errands. It will take some years before he can help Jinfang."

Mother Yan shook her head, thinking of her eldest son and grandson, the lifeblood of her grandfather.

Yan Chaonian didn't have any regrets. "Perhaps after a few days of training, my cousin will be able to improve. The current Chaojinfang doesn't need any more icing on the cake. What's important is to proceed step by step. If you rush too fast, your foundation will be unstable, and it will be short-lived in the end."

"We don't lack merchants now, but we can't supply the goods. So many merchants are waving their money but can't buy the materials. That money doesn't go into my pocket, and I feel bad."

A light laugh came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw Yuan Shen, who was smiling faintly, and teased her, "When did you become obsessed with money?"

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "Silver is a very strange thing. The more you look at it, the more you like it. The more you have, the happier you are."

"Why are you back so early today?"

"I promised my son that I would take him horseback riding today."

"horse riding?"

Yan Chaonian thought there was something wrong with his ears, "Is it what I think?"

"Ah."

"Dad~"

The little kid ran towards him happily. Yuan Shen bent down to catch him, lifted him up and turned him around in the yard twice, making the little kid laugh out loud.

"Dad will take you on a horse ride, do you want to go?"

This made the kid very happy. Yuan Shen asked someone to find a baby carrier, carried the kid on his back and said, "I'm going to ride a horse," and left. Yan Chaonian had a complicated expression on her face, and turned her head and said, "Mom, look, this father and son are too unreasonable." "Xun's father knows what to do, don't worry."

Mother Yan smiled. It was a good thing that Yuan Shen liked his daughter-in-law and children.

Yan Chaonian turned around and went back to the house, taking Shuiyun with him to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in the house to select fabrics, preparing to find a few pieces of fabric to make new clothes for the father and son.

Only her mother knew that in addition to being skilled in weaving brocade, she was also good at tailoring. However, these skills were not considered presentable in the eyes of the powerful people like the Earl's Mansion, so she was never given the opportunity to display them while in the Earl's Mansion.

Shuiyun found two pieces of fine cloth, and Yan Chaonian liked them very much. "Xun'er is growing fast and is very active. If we add two more coats for him, it will be easier to add or remove."

"This fine cloth is made of good cotton, it absorbs sweat and is breathable, it's very suitable for the young master."

"Would you like to make two brocade robes for the general?"

Yan Chaonian shook his head. "He uses fine cloth for the lining of his clothes and thick cloth for the outer garment. Brocade is not suitable for him."

Why would a general who is always brandishing swords and sticks wear brocade clothes? "If you tell him that a piece of cloth worth two thousand taels is made into clothes for him, he will probably be so heartbroken that he can't even open his eyes, and then ask if he can sell it, thinking how nice it would be to exchange it for pigs for his soldiers to eat."

"It is my wife who really understands me."

Yan Chaonian was a little surprised that the rider came back so quickly, "But was Xun'er scared?"

Yuan Shen handed his son, who was obviously still excited, to Shuiyun and asked her to take him out. He said to Yan Chaonian, "I just received news from the capital. The emperor wants me to bring my family to the capital."

"What happened?"

Yan Chaonian put down the material in his hand and walked over. "Didn't you just win a battle? I asked you to go to the capital to receive the reward?"

"You can't bring your family with you when you receive a reward, right?"

She was a little uneasy.

Yuan Shen held her hand and said, "I guess there will be another war?"

"The border is always in turmoil, and there are several small battles a year. Even if it is not a major battle, the troops are exhausted. According to the rules, whenever a general leads his troops to fight a major battle, his family members must go to the capital."

Yan Chaonian understood this, "Being a hostage, I've seen it before."

"when are we leaving?"

Yuan Shen said that he would leave first in three days. The court asked him to hurry to the capital. "You can leave after you have packed your things. Take Xun'er with you. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have to go with you."

"I will leave a team of guards to escort you, and the court will arrange a house for us to stay."

Yan Chaonian tried to calm himself down, "I understand, you don't have to worry about Xun'er and I, I will make arrangements, you go about your business, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me directly."

"I'll get your luggage ready for you as soon as possible."

By marrying a general, she was prepared for the possibility that he might lead his troops into battle at any time, so she was not at all hesitant.

Yuan Shen nodded and pulled the person into his arms. "I will be very busy in the next few days, but I will try my best to come back and rest. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, you know. I'm mentally prepared."

There was no time for affection or sweet talk. Yuan Shen quickly left. Yan Chaonian found Yan's mother and told her about this. "You and Dad will stay here. I'm sure your eldest brother will be left behind as well. We can't leave this place unattended."

"I'm familiar with the capital, no problem."
