She was so noisy that people nearby heard her and turned their heads to look in her direction. It was not a big deal if one did not look, but when one saw, one exclaimed, "It's General Shen. General Shen has returned!"
General Shen is back!
Shen Xin already had an illustrious reputation in the hearts of the common people of Ming Qi, and with the Xie family's mishap in these two years, the Shen family also moved away, it really made one feel a hero's end of the road. Even when the Qin country and the Great Liang's people came to the Ding capital, they would suddenly have a feeling of being unable to protect themselves. And the appearance of Shen Xin at this time undoubtedly gave the commoners a pillar of support. Immediately more and more people gathered around and exclaimed, "General Shen has returned!"
For a moment, the cheers of the crowd almost blocked the entire path of the carriage. The commoners were shouting fanatically, and their faces were full of admiration. Luo Tan covered her mouth. "Oh my god, uncle has such a high reputation in these people's hearts."
Luo Ling and the rest who were outside had an embarrassed expression. It was a good thing to have people lining the streets to welcome him, but it was also not bad to be chased after by others. Every year when Shen Xin returned to the capital in triumph, he would always be like this. But now, Shen Xin did not return with a body full of meritorious service. Instead, he was summoned back by the Emperor two years after being expelled from the capital. The louder the cheers of the commoners, the louder it was as if it was a slap on Emperor Wen Hui's face. If this was not directed at Emperor Wen Hui, then what was it?
In the carriage, Luo Xue Yan's and Shen Miao's expressions also sank. Especially Shen Miao, her gaze suddenly turned cold. Only Luo Tan did not know what had happened and was happy for Shen Xin's prestige.
The road was blocked to such a state that Shen Xin could only let the guards beside him explain to the commoners. When the commoners heard this, even though they were still standing on both sides of the street, they were not as agitated as before and also opened up a path.
Mo Qing and Ah Chi first rode their horses to look for a residence. Just like what Shen Miao said, there was a street next to Yan Qing Lane in the southern part of the city and the residence there was not bad. Now that Shen Xin had spent a lot of money on reorganizing the Luo family's army, he was not as well-off as before. Even so, when Shen Miao wanted to stay in the residence in the southern part of the city, Shen Xin agreed without a second word.
The carriage headed south of the city.
The closer they got to Yanqing Alley, the fewer people there were. This was because most of the people living around Yan Qing Lane were high-ranking officials and nobles. They were either rich or respectable. Commoners could not afford to live on the land there. The commoners who had come to greet them had also dispersed. The carriage traveled smoothly. Mo Qing and the rest quickly came back to report that they had found a residence to stay in and would talk about money later. The original owner of the residence was a newcomer under the name of Shen Xin and did not ask for much money as a mortgage.
When they were just a wall away from the Yan Qing Alley, a gust of wind suddenly blew and coincidentally blew open the curtain of the carriage that Shen Miao was sitting in. The curtain flew up and quickly fell back down.
Shen Miao's gaze slightly congealed and when Luo Tan saw it, she asked, "What is it?"
Shen Miao swept a glance at the curtain of the carriage and shook her head, "Nothing." But her heart was secretly alerted as for a moment just now, she felt that she was being spied on. Being the center of attention was extremely uncomfortable.
On a tall building in the distance, there was a young male and female holding a jade flute standing side by side. That female was as beautiful as a flower and wore a golden dress. She had big eyes and a small mouth and was covered with pearls and jades. When these tacky jewellery landed on her body, it did not look ugly but made her look delicate and charming. She looked at the distant carriage and said disdainfully, "This is the Formidable Great General's Shen family? Such a great reputation, but it is only so. "
The man beside her was in his early twenties, and he bore some resemblance to her. He was considered handsome but because his nose was slightly hooked, his entire person had some hostility that was hard to get along with. He smiled, "To be able to make the Imperial family of Ming Qi afraid, it is not a simple thing."
