The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 396 Returning to Beijing
In March of Yangchun, the warm sunshine swayed in the city of Bianjing.

The war far away on Shaanxi Road did not affect the people in Bianjing City, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns, the big battle was more of an after-dinner conversation.

After a month of rushing, Wang Gang finally entered Bianjing City. Looking at the bustling streets and the noisy hawking, he was extremely fascinated.

The impact of the war on him is still very large, and there is no way to completely eliminate it until now.

But he was very happy to be going home to see his relatives soon.

When Wang Gang came back this time, he received an order from the Ministry of War, asking him to report on his duties immediately and perform his duties as the right servant of the Ministry of War.

But they have already entered Bianjing, of course Wang Gang wants to go home to see his relatives first.

Instead of going back to his home, he went to Sheng Mansion first.

When he was on Jiangnan West Road back then, Wang Gang rectified the powerful gentry and offended too many people. He was worried that Hai Chaoyun would be implicated, so he sent Hai Chaoyun to Sheng Mansion three years ago to be taken care of by Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng has Master Liao by her side, Hai Chaoyun's safety is at least guaranteed.

Today's Sheng Mansion is still the same, and the door seems to have just been refurbished. After seeing Wang Gang, the old servant immediately shouted loudly inside:
"The third young master has returned home."

Soon a large group of people ran out from the Sheng Mansion, and the leader was Lin Sushuang.

"Son!" When Lin Sushuang saw Wang Gang, her body softened, and she threw herself into his arms crying.

"You're finally back, mother is worried about you."

Wang Gang hugged his mother, and could only comfort him softly. At this moment, he saw Hai Chaoyun running out.

The husband and wife hadn't seen each other for three years. Wang Gang found that Hai Chaoyun was much thinner, and he seemed to be worried about him.

Hai Chaoyun didn't rush over, but stood not far away, his eyes were already wet and red.

Mrs. Sheng also came out of Shou'an Hall on a rare occasion, and Master Liao followed her.

"Okay, everyone, don't be afraid, go into the house and get some pastries for Saburo to cushion first."

It was only after Old Madam Sheng spoke that Lin Sushuang came out of Wang Gang's arms.

Wang Gang walked slowly to his wife Hai Chaoyun, held her hand, and said softly, "I'm back."

Hai Chaoyun couldn't hold back his tears, and while wiping it with his hands, he said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Wang Gang hugged Hai Chaoyun into his arms and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Hai Chaoyun shook his head and whispered: "No, I'm not worried. I know you will come back safely. I pray in front of the Bodhisattva every day. As long as you can come back, I am willing to lose ten years of life."

Wang Gang said distressedly: "Silly girl, you have to believe in your husband, even if I fall into hell, I will climb up to meet you."

"Don't talk nonsense." Hai Chaoyun hit Wang Gang on the chest.

"Cough." Lin Sushuang coughed untimely, and Wang Gang and Hai Chaoyun separated.

"I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some pastries." Hai Chaoyun ran into the house embarrassedly.

Wang Gang came to the living room with everyone, Mrs. Wang rarely gave Wang Gang a cold face, but warmly greeted him.

"Sanlang, will you leave this time when you come back?"

"I'm not leaving. The officials made me the right servant of the Ministry of War and gave me a title. I will stay in Bianjing in the future." Wang Gang said.

"A nobleman? My Sheng family also produced a nobleman?!" Mrs. Wang said in surprise.

Wang Gang looked at Mrs. Sheng, Wang Ruofu didn't know about him being an earl, so Mrs. Sheng shouldn't know about it either!

"My son is the earl!" Lin Sushuang was the happiest person, she was dumbfounded, and just kept saying this sentence over and over again.

Wang Gang gave Lin Sushuang and Wang Ruofu time to digest, and then asked Mrs. Sheng, "Grandmother, where are the brothers and sisters?"

The old lady Sheng said with a smile: "Your sister Mo Lan married into the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang not long after you left. Later, Ru Lan married Enke Jinshi Wen Jingyan."

Wang Gang took a look at Lin Sushuang. At the beginning, he objected to Mo Lan's marriage to a noble family, but she still entered the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang as in the original book, and Lin Sushuang must have used tricks in it.

"Minglan is not married yet, but she has also negotiated with her in-law's family, which is the He family. Today she took her younger brother Changdong to offer incense, but she hasn't returned home yet."

Wang Gang suddenly realized that the old lady of the He family and the old lady Sheng were inseparable. The He family has practiced medicine for generations, and has a very good reputation, and even has a close relationship with the imperial hospital in Da Nei.

Sheng Minglan should have discussed marriage with He Jiahe Hongwen as in the original book.

This time without Gu Tingye's interference, it should be able to succeed.

"Your father and elder brother are on duty today and haven't come back yet. They must be very happy to see you when they come back." Wang Ruofu said enthusiastically.

Mrs. Wang may be more enthusiastic about Wang Gang because she was conferred a title.

Hai Chaoyun quickly returned with exquisite pastries, interrupting the conversation of several people.

"Officer, you use the pastry first. I have ordered the kitchen to prepare meals, and they can eat when father and elder brother come back."

Wang Gang took Hai Chaoyun's hand and said, "I'm not hungry, so I just want to talk to you."

Hai Chaoyun blushed shyly, and looked at Old Madam Sheng and the others in embarrassment.

Mrs. Sheng and the others are all from the past, and knowing that the two of them are more than just married, they left voluntarily and asked the young couple to tell their hearts.

When there were only Wang Gang and Hai Chaoyun in the living room, they had nothing to say, they just looked into each other's eyes, silence speaks louder than words.

But soon there was an annoying voice, disturbing Wang Gang and Hai Chaoyun.

"Is my nephew Changfeng back?"

A sharp voice came from far to near, Wang Gang turned his head to look, and found a woman in her forties, entering the living room of Sheng Mansion majestically, just like her own home.

This woman's name is Kang Wang, she is Wang Ruofu's older sister, and the descendants of the Sheng family call her Aunt Kang.

Kang Wang's original surname was Wang, and later married the well-known Kang family. Since the Sheng family moved back to Bianjing, they have been looking for Wang Ruofu to reminisce about the old days.

In the past, Aunt Kang was dismissive of Wang Gang, always talking about his status as a concubine. No one in the entire Shengfu liked Wang Gang except Wang Ruofu.

"Nephew Changfeng, you can come back, your parents are almost worried to death." Aunt Kang talked on and on as soon as she saw Wang Gang this time, and she didn't give Wang Gang a chance to interrupt.

Later, it was Wang Ruofu who came out and pulled his sister away.

"Why are you dragging me? I haven't caught up with nephew Changfeng yet? I'm staying here for dinner today, just to clean up nephew Changfeng."

Wang Ruofu was very embarrassed, she could already see that Wang Gang had some dislike for Kang Wang, but Kang Wang was still talking to himself, and wanted to stay for a meal.

"Aunt Kang, I'm going back to Beijing today, and I have to report to the Ministry of War later. I don't know when I will be back, so I won't accompany you for dinner." Wang Gang said without giving Kang Wang any face.

Kang Wang's face froze, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Business is the most important thing, and business is the most important thing."

Wang Gang took Hai Chaoyun back to Shou'an Hall, thanked the old lady for taking care of Hai Chaoyun, and ignored Kang Wang at all.

As soon as Wang left, Kang Wang called out to Wang Ruofu:
"I'm his elder anyway, what's the attitude?"

Wang Ruofu said: "Sister! She is not what she used to be. Not only has she become the Minister of the Ministry of War, she has also been awarded the title of Earl of Qingyang."

Kang Wang was shocked, she only heard that Wang Gang had won the battle and was transferred back to Bianjing by the officials. As for the title of knight, very few people knew.

"He was made an earl, why didn't you mention such an important matter earlier." Kang Wang blamed Wang Ruofu.

"I just found out." Wang Ruofu said aggrievedly: "Sister, he is an earl now, don't provoke him in the future, lest I have trouble doing it in front of officials."

"Why should I provoke him!" Kang Wang rolled his eyes, but thought together in his heart.

"I heard that Chang Feng's nephew doesn't even have a housemaid in his room. I have a concubine who looks like a sign. Would you like to let Chang Feng's nephew see her?" Said.

"Ah!" Wang Ruofu said in surprise, "You want to give your daughter to Saburo as a concubine?"

Mrs. Kang Wang said: "Nephew Changfeng has been married for several years and has no children. He should have considered taking a concubine long ago. Although my concubine is not born by me, she looks very beautiful. She is more than enough to be a concubine for my nephew."

Wang Ruofu said helplessly: "Sister, don't waste your efforts in vain. Sanlang's daughter-in-law is from the Hai family. The Hai family has an ancestor's precept, and only after forty is not allowed to take concubines."

Kang Wang said indifferently: "Changfeng's daughter-in-law is a member of the Sheng family when she marries into the Sheng family, why bother to abide by the rules of the Hai family, I will bring her here tomorrow, let my nephew take a look first, maybe he likes it! "

"I don't dare to make up my mind on this matter, I still have to ask the master first, and he will agree." Wang Ruofu said cautiously.

"You are the head of the Sheng family, so you can decide this small matter yourself, and I will bring someone here tomorrow." The Kang Wang family never gave Wang Ruofu a chance to refuse.
