170 Return to the Palace (2 in 1)(2/2)
Chen Yichen didn't say much, so he turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
However, the shopkeeper Wang behind him stopped him and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, the young man has something to tell you!"
"What's the matter?"
I saw Manager Wang take out a letter from the counter and hand it to Chen Yichen and say, "Zhuangyuan Gong, this is the letter Mr. Li asked me to hand you. He had checked out and left ten days ago."
"What?"
Hearing this, Chen Yichen was shocked. He originally wanted to pick up the teacher and his mother and live in his newly bought house together.
Anyway, the yard is big enough, and it is better to take care of the teacher personally than to live in the guild.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Tingxiu had already left!
Just as Shen Yichen subconsciously prepared to open the letter and see what the teacher had written, Wang Neng appeared in the corridor above.
"Young Master Chen, you are here!"
Seeing Wang Neng, Chen Yichen didn't bother to open the letter and asked him quickly: "Wang Neng, where is my mother?"
"Chen'er, mom is here."
Behind Wang Neng, a familiar face appeared, and Shen's eyes were filled with tears.
In addition, behind Shen, there were about a dozen strong and burly men in costumes. They were the miners specially selected by Ye Zongliu to help Chen Yichen work in the capital.
"mother……"
Chen Yichen originally felt that he had trained in the officialdom and had become much more stable. However, after seeing his mother, Shen, he was still unable to speak for a while.
Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Chen Yichen knelt down and bowed: "The child has not disappointed his mother's expectations. Now he has reached the top three, and he has won the world!"
"well……"
Shen looked at his mature and thin son in front of him and became the top scholar who was ranked third in the first place, and instantly burst into tears.
She raised Chen Yichen with great difficulty throughout her life, and she hoped that her son would be successful, be recognized by Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong, and return to the Duke's Mansion.
In this way, the son will no longer be looked down upon by the world and think that he is a maid who was abandoned by his father!
Now Shen Yichen's achievements have far exceeded Shen's original expectations, excitement, happiness, relief and other emotions have come, making her speechless for a moment.
"Mom, don't be too excited. Now is just the beginning, and good days are still coming."
"Well, Chen'er is promising, mom believes in you!"
Shen wiped the tears at the corners of his eyes, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.
The most difficult days have passed, and she believes that her son will get better and better!
After comforting his mother for a few words, Chen Yichen asked A Niu to go to the Duke Cheng's Mansion first to inform him that he would lead his mother to arrive later. As for Wang Neng and others, he would go to the newly purchased house under Cang Huotou, otherwise their group would be too conspicuous.
In order to protect his safety, my mother left Cheng Guo Duke's Mansion overnight and dared not step in again. Today, she wanted to take her mother back with her dignified!
In the carriage, as he got closer to the Duke Cheng's mansion, Shen became more and more nervous, and subconsciously grabbed his son Chen Yichen's arm.
"Mom, relax. The child is no longer the child who cannot protect himself back then. He can stand upright in front of the prince."
"Um."
Hearing this, Shen nodded heavily, full of pride.
However, when she thought of Lin, the haze in her heart could not be gone, and she said, "Chen'er, Lin is now the duchess, and she will definitely not forget what happened back then."
"My mother has achieved her wish now, and there is nothing to be afraid of. She is only worried that she will attack you, what should I do?"
Now that Shen saw Chen Yichen becoming a talent and was about to get married soon, she felt that her life had been perfect. The only thing she couldn't worry about was that Lin would take revenge on Chen Yichen in order to cover up the secrets of that year.
After all, the other party is a noble duchess, and it is difficult for his son to compete with him.
Hearing this, Chen Yichen smiled easily and said, "Mom, don't worry, you will understand later."
The current situation in the public government is no longer Lin’s thinking about how to attack Chen Yichen, but Chen Yichen is looking for a handle for Zhu Ji, thinking about fighting back against the mother and son.
Even in extreme cases, Chen Yichen would consider joining forces with Zhu Yi, and I believe that this eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion would be happy to see this scene.
"Um."
Shen nodded skeptically, and her thinking and concepts remained more in Yingtian's time.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Duke Cheng Guo’s mansion. With A Niu’s advance notice, Butler Wu had already led a group of servants from the Duke’s mansion to stand on both sides of the front of the mansion to welcome Shen into the mansion.
When Shen lifted the curtain of the carriage, when he saw this grand scene, he looked at his son Chen Yichen in disbelief.
Because according to her previous identity, she was not worthy of the servants in the mansion to go out to greet her, and it was not the turn of Butler Wu to greet her in person.
Facing his mother Shen's surprised eyes, Chen Yichen just smiled and said nothing. He first jumped out of the carriage, and then helped his mother down.
"Young man welcomes Aunt Chen!"
The people in the mansion saluted Shen in unison, which shocked her even more.
Auntie?
You should know that the title of aunt is only available in the high house and courtyard, and there are no servants and girls. Young people call it girls, and older people call it their name directly. Why do these people call themselves aunts?
Could it be?
Thinking of this, even Shen himself felt it was impossible. The prince didn't care about it for so many years, so why did he help him carry his concubine?
"Aunt Chen, please come here."
Butler Wu came to Shen and bowed to her to invite her to enter the mansion.
Shen bowed and bowed. She knew that Butler Wu had been in the Duke's Mansion for many years and had a good status. Today, the other party's polite attitude was very polite.
However, just as Shen was about to step into the mansion, Chen Yichen reached out to stop her, and then shook her head gently.
"Butler Wu, I hope to open the middle door!"
As soon as Chen Yichen said this, the servants of the Duke's mansion, including Butler Wu, looked at him very unexpectedly.
Only when honorary officials and other distinguished guests arrive will the gate be opened. In addition, except for the wife, the concubine is not qualified to go to the main gate, and can only go to the side gate.
"Young Master Chen, this is incompatible with etiquette and law. The old servant cannot open the middle door."
When Shen heard Butler Wu’s objection, he was also full of surprise. For some reason, his son said such words.
Just as she was about to persuade her, Chen Yichen continued, "Butler Wu, my mother has been named the Imperial Lady by Your Majesty. Please open the door!"
In ancient times, once a concubine was named a wife of the imperial decree, she was nominally a registered official in the court, and was no longer just a concubine with a low status. She was qualified to go to the main gate of life and death, and be buried in the ancestral tomb, and even on an equal footing with her legitimate wife in special circumstances.
So when Chen Yichen said this, everyone present was shocked. How did the concubine be granted the emperor's title?
However, the problem has also arisen. Butler Wu and the others don’t know about this matter at all, and there is no imperial edict. Who can guarantee that this is true?
But again, they couldn't believe it was fake.
You should know that false preaching of the sage is a death sentence. No matter how impulsive Chen Yichen is, he will not be talking nonsense about this matter, right?
"Young Master Chen, old servant..."
Butler Wu served in the Duke Chengguo Mansion for decades, and his vision was not low. But he had never even heard of such things, let alone how to do it.
In addition, even if Shen enfeoffed an imperial edict, it was not an imperial edict to receive it. If it was not as high as a first-class lady, it would not be worthy of being a gate of the Duke's mansion.
"Aniu, open the middle door!"
Chen Yichen was too lazy to say more. With the identity of a wife of the imperial decree, it is no longer a violation of etiquette and law when he went to the middle door. It was nothing more than a matter of his identity and official title.
Can a noble man leave, but will his mother not be able to leave in her life?
Chen Yichen had secretly swore in Yingtian that he would never let his mother Shen suffer from humiliation and contempt from the outside world.
If you return to the mansion today, you must enter through the middle gate in a dignified manner. If Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong pursues the matter in the future, you will take it all your strength!
If you don’t even have the courage to break the ranks and inferiors for your mother, how can you talk about changing your thinking in this world?
"Yes, Brother Chen!"
A Niu didn't talk so much nonsense. He rushed over, hugged the latch of the middle door, and then pushed open the two red beast-headed doors with force!
"Mom, please!"
Chen Yichen bowed his waist and made a gesture of invitation, signaling his mother Shen to enter the middle gate.
But Shen didn't know what to do for a moment, and she was hit too much in a short period of time, so she was completely confused.
I never dreamed that one day my son would let him enter the Duke Chengguo Mansion from the middle door.
"Let's go, mom."
