After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 376 Honor 2

Yangtai Academy has produced a top scholar like Shen Qingzhou, and many students have flocked in recently. Yangtai Academy has become completely famous.

“Okay… okay…”

Dean Lin patted Shen Qingzhou on the shoulder. With thousands of words to say, only two words remained: good.

"Master, this is my wife Lin Ting!"

Lin Ting nodded to Dean Lin and said, "Hello, Master Lin. Shen Qingzhou's achievements today are all thanks to Master Lin's cultivation. Lin Ting is grateful."

Shen Qingzhou is now the face of the entire Yangtai Academy. Teachers who don't have classes come here today to see the results of their education.

This is a great sense of accomplishment.

"As long as you're all well, that's all that matters. I heard before I came here that His Majesty has appointed you to stay in the Hanlin Academy. Qingzhou, no matter what happens in the officialdom, you must remember your original intention in joining the officialdom."

Shen Qingzhou clasped his fists again and said, "I will remember the Master's words, and devote myself to the people's well-being until my death."

Dean Lin was very satisfied and accepted the greeting from his student.

"Okay, go home quickly, your family must be waiting anxiously."

"Yes, Master, please take care of your health."

After bidding farewell to the teachers of Yangtai Academy, Shen Qingzhou mounted his horse again and was seen off with gongs and drums from the county government office, followed by many common people, as they returned to Wushan Village.

Before we even reached the entrance of Wushan Village, many people from the village came to greet us.

All Wushan Chili restaurants are closed today just to welcome Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting.

"Shen Zhuangyuan is back..."

Lin Ting looked at the familiar faces. Although he had only been away for a few months, it felt like he had been away for several years.

"Qingzhou, Lin Ting, congratulations..."

At the front was Aunt Jiang, followed by other people from the village, almost everyone young and old came.

"Aunt Jiang!"

Lin Ting had just called out to Jiang Lan when he saw Shen Wanyi and An Yue coming out from behind Jiang Lan.

"Mom... Dad..."

The moment he saw his daughter, Lin Ting could no longer sit still. He got off the carriage and ran to hug Shen Wanyi.

"Wanyi, you miss your mother so much."

Shen Wanyi, who is almost six years old, is already very sensible, but she is still a child after all. When she saw her parents whom she had not seen for a long time, she burst into tears.

"Mother... wuwuwu..."

Shen Qingzhou also dismounted, walked to Lin Ting and Shen Wanyi, and reached out to rub Shen Wanyi's hair.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Wanyi has grown taller again."

Shen Wanyi was already sobbing uncontrollably, and Yang Xiuxiu was even more frozen, her chest choked with sobs. She had tried to hold back her tears, but they wouldn't come out at all.

In the crowd, Lin Ting caught a glimpse of Yang Xiuxiu. She gently tugged at the corner of Shen Qingzhou's clothes and asked him to look over.

"Qingzhou!"

Shen Qingzhou also saw Yang Xiuxiu. He walked over, knelt on his knees in front of Yang Xiuxiu, and kowtowed to her.

"Mom...I'm back."

Yang Xiuxiu couldn't hold it in any longer. After so many years, she finally saw Shen Qingzhou at his best.

Shen Qingzhou's life has been full of ups and downs. I don't know how much hardship he has endured to get to where he is today.

"Qingzhou, get up, get up, let's go home..."

Yang Xiuxiu helped Shen Qingzhou up while wiping her tears.

"Your father and the village chief have already gone to open the ancestral hall. They are all waiting for you there."

There were still many people at the entrance of the village, all surrounding Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting. Yang Xiuxiu had originally planned to say a lot to Lin Ting, but now her head was blank and she couldn't think of a single word.

"Lin Ting, let's go..."

Yang Xiuxiu took Lin Ting's hand with one hand and Shen Wanyi's hand with the other and walked towards the village.

Aunt Jiang and others followed behind him, talking and laughing all the way. Almost everyone in the village was there.

County Magistrate Jiang was also there. He watched as Wushan Village suspended business and the entire village followed Shen Dali to open the ancestral hall.

Everyone in the Shen family and everyone who was still alive in the Shen family tree came.

Although the village chief is not a member of the Shen family, as long as the Shen family is in Wushan Village, he, as the village chief, will be responsible.

The entire ancestral hall was surrounded by several circles of people. When they saw Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting coming back, everyone automatically made way for them.

Before they got home, the two wrote a letter to their family, telling them they would be home that day, so their family prepared everything early.

Shen Dali pursed his lips, raised his chin proudly, and looked at Shen Qingzhou who was walking towards him in a red robe.

He did it, he did it. From now on, he is Lord Shen, a sixth-rank official personally conferred by His Majesty, and he has truly brought honor to his family.

"Qingzhou, come and burn incense for our ancestors!"

Shen Dali was very happy because his family were all officials now.

The ancestral hall held a ceremony to convey the good news to the ancestors, and a Taoist priest was invited to perform a ritual. The procedures were complicated and the whole village cheered. It took almost an hour to finish.

At this time, Manager An walked up to Lin Ting and took out a form for her to sign.

"Madam, with all the villagers, the county magistrate, and so many relatives coming today, I'm afraid we'll need to add more than ten tables to the banquet I've booked."

We are happy today, so we must treat the whole village to a banquet, Lin Ting turned around and said.

"You can handle these matters. You don't need me to sign as soon as I come back. It's up to you. But, Nanxinglou must bring out the best dishes."

"Yes!"

After Lin Ting and his friends went to the capital, almost all the matters at home and on the farm were handed over to An Hongyun to arrange.

An Yue was by Shen Wanyi's side. Although she was called a maid, she would learn whatever Shen Wanyi learned. She was no longer an illiterate little girl.

An Ce also learned a lot of medical knowledge in Wanhetang, and he could treat simple headaches and fevers.

Seeing that his family is getting better and better, An Hongyun is completely devoted to Lin Ting.

After things were done at the ancestral hall, Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu brought everyone back to the Shen residence. All the villagers were there.

Many members of Yang Yongnian's family also came, not only them, but also their cousins.

Shen Qingzhou only found out about it after his cousin's family and brothers introduced him to it.

Even many people didn’t recognize Yang Xiuxiu. It was only after a series of introductions that they found out that they had such a relative.

"Everyone does it, eats snacks, drinks tea..."

Lin Ting asked someone to buy peanuts and melon seeds, and the servants at home were also making tea and waiting.

"Lin Ting, congratulations! After all these years, you've finally gotten your reward."

"Aunt, you can't call my sister-in-law by her name anymore. You have to call her Madam Shen."

There were many people at home, and everyone was talking and joking. Lin Ting didn't know which one to reply to first.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. No matter what Shen Qingzhou does outside, once he returns to Wushan Village, he is still a member of our Wushan Village. Aunt and sister-in-law, you can still call them that in the future."

Lin Ting is good at speaking. Although Shen Qingzhou is no longer an ordinary citizen, she speaks very modestly, which makes the villagers feel comfortable listening to her.

With so many people to entertain at home, Yang Xiuxiu and Lin Ting alone are simply unable to handle it. Fortunately, Liu Shiying and Shen Zhuang's daughter-in-law are there.

Only when Shen Qingzhou becomes an official, they will be a truly wealthy family, instead of just being rich in money as they are now.
