On the afternoon of the third day after the Zhaoren Palace's discussion, a large number of Jinyi captains wearing blue armor and holding sword bows and short guns suddenly appeared at both ends of Yu'er Hutong in Xicheng, the capital.

These lieutenants cleared all the people around them in a short time. There were also lieutenants guarding each resident in the alley. Some servants and servants in front of the resident were driven back to the mansion. Then, under the scolding of the lieutenants, the gates of their homes were closed tightly. There was no trace of anyone else in the entire hut except the Jinyi lieutenant.

Not long afterwards, two carriages without any obvious signs drove into the alley one after another. Dozens of guards wearing blue cloth robes outside and armored inside followed closely, and there were figures of tik cavalry patrolling back and forth at both ends of the alley.

After the two carriages entered the alley, Sun Yongsheng, a thousand households in the Qianhu District, Xicheng, Jinyiwei, and several of his subordinates rushed forward, then turned around and led the carriage to continue.

The carriage stopped in the relatively spacious alley without walking for a long time, and then stopped in front of the gate of a mansion. Outside the gate were surrounded by groups of lieutenants guarding the surroundings.

Luo Yangxing, wearing a green casual clothes, opened the carriage and jumped down before the carriage could stop. Then he quickly walked towards the side of the door of the second carriage.

After the second carriage stopped, Luo Yangxing stepped forward and opened the door of the carriage. Wang Chengen jumped off quickly, then moved a brocade stool out of the carriage. Zhu Youjian, wearing a green tight robe, bent down from the carriage, stepped on the brocade stool, looked at both sides, and then walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

The mansion in front of him is Sun Chuanting's new home in the capital, and it is the residence of Wang Yongguang, the former Minister of Personnel. Wang Yongguang was dismissed from his post in the eighth year of Chongzhen. Last year, Zhu Youjian gave this home to Sun Chuanting and arranged for Jinyi Guards to move his family from Daizhou to the new home in the capital.

The house in Sun's mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Although it was not dark, lighted lanterns were hung on the pavilions and towers in the courtyard. Whether it was the owner of the house or the maids and servants, they all changed into brand new clothes, shoes and socks, and their steps were extremely light, and everyone had a smile from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.

In the stove in the side yard of the back house, several cooks were busy and the fires on the stoves were also burning; the tables in the kitchen were filled with various ingredients and seasonings, and several maids in skirts were waiting outside the kitchen. The dishes of the chefs here had just been cooked and put on the plate. The maids outside would come in and pack them in food boxes, and then hurried to the flower hall of the side yard with the food boxes.

On the chair in the middle of the inner hall, the head was combed with a pine bun, and the fake temples were covered with flower ornaments. The big miscellaneous flowers and robes with six green peacocks embroidered on it, with golden pearls and jade decorations, and a golden pendant with ears, sitting upright. Sun Chuanting, who was wearing a straight green dress, and his wife, Sun Liu, knelt in front of her. Their two children, Sun Kedi and Sun Yan, knelt behind them.

"Today is the happy day of my mother's 60th birthday. My son Chuanting and his wife, Sun Liu, and his son defeated the enemy and daughter Yan'er. I wish my mother the Yaochi will never grow old and the birthday of her life will be prosperous!"

After saying aloud, Sun Chuanting, a family of four, kowtowed three times to Sun Li on the chair.

"My son get up quickly! Liu, grandson, and granddaughter get up too! I have to rely on my son's blessings and have given him a second-grade imperial edict by the saint. This is the supreme glory of my Sun family! The saint treats the Sun family's kindness, even if the saints are broken, it is difficult to repay the whole family! My son should remember one thing in the future. In the future, what ordinary saints refer to is what my son wants! There is no need to think too much about the rest!"

The radiant Sun Li family was on the chair and told Sun Chuanting earnestly.

The reason why I can wear this second-rank imperial woman's uniform is all due to my son's glory. How could the Sun family have ever produced a second-rank imperial edict or a first-rank official at the same time?

Looking at his handsome son, Sun Li was full of pride and his eyes were filled with spoiling.

"Please rest assured that my mother will remember her mother's teachings, take everything with a holy heart and public heart as the priority, and put personal interests aside to help our emperor create a great cause of the Ming Dynasty! At this moment, I still need to work my mother to sit down. My son has sent someone to hire a famous painter Liu Wubing, a famous painter from the capital, to come and paint for my mother to the descendants of my Sun family! Maybe it's a little too long. If my mother feels uncomfortable, she will tell others and wait for a break before painting!"

Sun Chuanting bowed and replied.

"Okay, okay, okay! I've recorded it for my mother! My son will take the enemy to another place to work hard, so I can have Liu and Yan'er accompany me!"

Sun Li nodded with a smile. After Sun Chuanting bowed, he took his son Sun Kemen out of the main hall and prepared to go to the side courtyard to see how far the birthday banquet was. Friends would come to visit with their female relatives. The banquet in the inner house was prepared for these families.

This time, Sun Chuanting did not make a big statement on his mother's 60th birthday, but invited several former friends from the same subject who were still in Beijing to have a banquet. It was still early now, and the friends might have just returned home. It should be a while before they could clean up and arrive at Sun's mansion.

Sun Chuanting walked with his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to turn into the moon gate on one side, a maid from the Sun family rushed over: "Master, the grandfather and the butler of the courtyard asked me to inform you. There are distinguished guests from outside the mansion, saying that they were from the palace. Please go and greet me quickly!"

The inner houses of wealthy families are forbidden from men other than their masters to enter, and even an old housekeeper like Sun Chengwen is not good. Anything must be passed into the inner house through the maids at the door of the inner house before talking about it.

"The noble man in the palace? Is it because the emperor wants me to come to the palace to meet? What urgent matter is there?"

While thinking, Sun Chuanting involuntarily accelerated his pace. Sun Kedi, who was already eighteen years old, followed behind his father.

After all, he is a teenager. Although he had come to Beijing to study in the Imperial College last year, he rarely had the opportunity to meet outsiders on weekdays, so Sun Ke was very curious about everything new. He wanted to see what the noble people came from the palace looked like.

Sun Chuanting did not stop his son's actions. He was already an adult at the age of 18, so it was time to follow him to see the world.

My son is smart and studious, but his temperament is much smoother than himself. As long as he wins the provincial examination in the future, his achievements may not be much worse than him in time.

Sun Chuanting and his son walked out of the inner courtyard gate and walked all the way. He had just passed through the hall and entered the third main courtyard. He saw that the spacious courtyard was covered with blue warriors, and all the servants and maids in the mansion had disappeared.

More than ten steps below the steps in front of the hall, a young man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his father and son with a smile. Two middle-aged men with strange looks stood on both sides of the young man, both standing behind the young man with curious eyes.

Sun Chuanting was stunned and immediately reacted. He lifted up a corner of his robe with one hand, stepped down the steps and knelt down on the ground: "My Sun Chuanting meets my emperor! I don't know that my emperor is coming and has not yet met. It is really a mistake to treat the courtesy. I would like to forgive my emperor!"

Sun Kedi reacted quickly and had already followed him down the steps and knelt behind his father: "My minister Sun Kedi joined our emperor!"

Sun Kedi, who was favored by his father, is now also a rank of the Jinyiwei family, so there is no need to call himself a sacred citizen.

"Haha! Two Sun Qings are up, I am an uninvited guest today, so I don't blame you for being rude!"

Zhu Youjian walked slowly to Sun Chuanting and his son, and smiled and helped him with both hands. Sun Chuanting and his son thanked him and stood up.

"I occasionally heard that there was a birthday celebration in Sun Qing's house, so I came here to ask for a cup of birthday wine! Haha! Why didn't you invite me into the house to have tea? I didn't come empty-handed today! Hahaha!"

Zhu Youjian, who has been in a good mood recently, has rarely joked about this important official.

"Haha! I suddenly saw my emperor coming in person, and I was disrespectful one after another! Your Majesty, please come in and take a rest and have a tea!"

Zhu Youjian's relaxed tone made Sun Chuanting and his son relax. Sun Chuanting smiled and asked Zhu Youjian to enter the house. Cheng Qianli, who had been not far from Zhu Youjian, led a few guards into the main hall first.
