Shen Wanshan and Shen Shihua’s eyes lit up after hearing Yao’s words.
That’s right, the emperor would investigate the backgrounds of the girls in his selection of concubines. Shouldn’t the background of the Crown Princess be more stringent
Shen Wanshan looked at Yao and said, “Go find Xingnong and show your good will!”
He didn't dare to go.
Whenever he thought of her bull-like strength, he became afraid!
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. It wasn't until the Chinese New Year that his old bones finally felt better.
When Yao heard this, she thought of Xingnong's ferocity. She was someone who could throw people far away with just one hand. She didn't dare to provoke her alone.
Yao sighed, "Dad is right. I do want to, but after all, I am only her cousin. Xingnong doesn't take me seriously at all and won't listen to me! I can only give her some advice from the side. For this matter of recognizing one's ancestry, a proper elder should be present to make it convincing. After all, she is already the Crown Princess. If I go alone, I'm afraid it would be disrespectful."
She couldn't go by herself, she knew that the bastard Chen Xingnong hated her, but in order to save Mingzhu, she had to please her.
Shen Wanshan missed Li again at this time. As long as Li was there, she could take the lead in anything.
Shen Wanshan looked at his son and said, "You go with Yao! And Zhiyuan! Zhiyuan must have a good relationship with Xingnong in the future. Things are different now. As long as Xingnong becomes close to us, our Shen's winery will have a chance to turn things around."
Before Shen Shihua could say anything, Yao said, “Dad, our whole family should go, so that we can show our sincerity.”
The old man didn't dare to go, and asked them as a family to go. How could such a good thing happen!
Shen Wanshan didn't want to think about it, his bones would ache whenever he thought about it!
Shen Shihua said: "Dad, let's call all the villagers to go! Welcoming the Crown Princess back, this is a big deal!"
Shen Wanshan's eyes lit up: "That's right! We should call all the villagers to go, so that it will show sincerity!"
Shen Shihua had seen the world after all, he said: "In addition to the whole village going to welcome the guests, we also need to open an ancestral hall and write Xingnong's name into the family tree. Not only Xingnong, but also Gu, Shen Ruoxi, Xingqing, and Xinghui! We also need to hold a grand banquet to welcome them to show our respect."
Shen Ruoxi did such a shameless thing back then and was expelled from the clan.
Shen Wanshan nodded and said graciously: "Open the ancestral hall opposite and write their family into the family tree! This way, they, the orphans and widows, will have the support of our Shen family members, so they will not be looked down upon."
After all, the Shen family had produced a small county magistrate more than a hundred years ago. Among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, they can be considered descendants of officials!
The ancients valued clans, so Shen Shihua nodded and went to discuss with the village chief, and at the same time the villagers.
When the villagers of Taohua Village heard that Xingnong's family was going to be brought back, none of them objected!
So the whole village was busy cleaning!
Shen Wanshan also asked Yao to order the servants to clean up the east wing where Shen Wanshan had lived before and let Xingnong's family live in it.
Everyone was busy until dark. Every household cleaned their houses and village roads, and vowed to be more thorough and clean than the people of Taohua Village had been when they welcomed Xingnong's family to Taohua Village. They were ready to pick them up early tomorrow morning to recognize their ancestors!

At midnight, everything is quiet
In the space, Chu Tiankuo asked with a smile: "Have you received the imperial edict?"
He estimated that the team delivering the imperial edict should have arrived today.
Xing Nong nodded: "Got it."
"The wedding date hasn't been set yet, but it should be out in a few days. You should take care of the affairs at home and in the workshop in the next few days, and then go to Beijing with your grandmother and the others."
Xing Nong was surprised: "Why are you going to Beijing so soon?"
"We need to make several sets of dresses for the Crown Princess, and they need to be tailored. Most importantly..." Chu Tiankuo said this, took out two bottles of pills, and handed them to Xingnong: "The pills have been refined. The white bottle is the bone-nourishing pill, and the green bottle is the muscle-growing pill. But if you want grandma's foot to recover as usual, you may need to break the bone and reconnect it. Only I can do this to ensure that the wound is the same as the first time it was injured, but I can't leave the capital for too long for the time being, so grandma has to come to Beijing to treat her leg. You can discuss this with grandma and see if you should go to Beijing for treatment later or as soon as possible. It's all fine."
Since the marriage had been arranged, Chu Tiankuo very consciously called Gu "grandmother".
Xingnong's mouth twitched when she heard him calling her grandma left and right. She didn't care what he called her. She just thought of Gu's feet. It hurt when she walked now. Moreover, spring and summer are the seasons with the most rain, and Gu's pain would be worse on rainy days.
If it can be cured, of course it should be cured as soon as possible. If the wedding date is set for a year or two later, it will be too late!
Xing Nong asked, "If we start the treatment, how long will it take?"
Chu Tiankuo: "It will take about three months to fully recover. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although it is called the Four Great Magic Medicines, it can only heal. Bones grow in that time. Magic medicines must also follow the laws of life. Even if the magic medicine is effective and can be faster, it won't be too fast. Too fast is not good. And grandma is old, so her recovery will be slower than that of young people, so it will probably take about three months."
Xing Nong nodded: "I understand. I will ask grandma tomorrow morning if she wants to go to Beijing."
"Okay. It's late, go to bed early."
Both of them had a lot of things to do, so they met, explained some things, and then left the space.
Not far away, the house of the King of Jin
When Shen Hanyu received the news, he rushed back from the next city overnight.
The Emperor of Chu granted marriage to his younger sister. This was really a huge deal!
The princess of Jin became the crown princess of Chu, which was a major event that shocked the four countries.
As soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to ask his tyrant: "Did the Emperor of Chu really grant marriage to my sister?"
The King of Jin snorted coldly: "How could this be false? Would I joke about such a thing?"
Although he had known that Chu Tiankuo had bad intentions towards his sister, he was puzzled: "I never thought Chu Tiankuo could get the Emperor of Chu to grant the marriage! My sister has such a bad reputation, how could the King of Chu agree?"
Could it be that he was attracted by the talent of the imperial sister's array magician? I always thought that the king of Chu was a foolish emperor! If he was foolish, he would not know how to appoint people.
But today, the State of Zhao suffered such a huge setback, the power of Prime Minister Liang's faction was controlled overnight, and there were so many prisoners from Prime Minister Liang's faction on the roads to various places being taken to the capital. He no longer thought so!
The King of Chu and Chu Tiankuo are both treacherous villains, insidious and treacherous!
He must have been attracted by the princess's talent and wanted to trap her!
Humph, wishful thinking!
The King of Jin was not happy to hear this and shouted angrily: "How is your sister's reputation bad? The villagers of Taohua Village respect her very much! You are an ignorant, money-grubbing bastard who has a bad reputation!"
Shen Hanyu's eardrums were almost broken. He rubbed his ears and said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the royal sister is a woman with an unknown father. The royal family attaches great importance to family background and origin when marrying. After all, not everyone can be a good crown princess..."
"Asshole, I'm alive and well here, how could I not know my father?! You're a princess of Jin, but you can't even be a princess of a small Chu country!" The king of Jin was so angry that he slapped him.
Who on earth is this brat speaking for
Fortunately, Shen Hanyu was used to being beaten since he was a child, so he dodged very quickly!
He was almost mad at the tyrant. Every time it came to his sister, he couldn't talk properly. He stopped talking and asked directly: "Father, why did you ask me to come back?"
