When Shen Yan returned to the capital, he did not write any memorials.
Because he knew that the British Duke, Zhang Ying, would write a letter truthfully.
The effect of others praising him was far better than writing a letter to praise himself.
Therefore, Shen Yan rode his horse straight home.
He had not rested for two days and one night. What he wanted to do the most now was to have a good sleep.
Wang Yuyan looked at the remote alley along the way.
"Where are we going?"
"Go home. Sleep."
When Wang Yuyan heard the last two words, she was instantly angry and embarrassed.
"What do you take me for?"
Shen Yan was a little confused and said inexplicably.
"What's wrong? In order to capture Ye Gucheng, I didn't sleep for two days and one night. Shouldn't I go home and sleep?”
When Wang Yuyan heard this, she was shocked and her face turned red.
"Sorry, I…let my imagination run wild.”
Shen Yan looked at her and said,"You wish."”
Wang Yuyan was speechless.
When he returned to his dilapidated and small courtyard, Shen Yan fell into bed and fell asleep immediately.
Wang Yuyan was looking around at this run-down and small courtyard.
She would never have thought that this was the place where the third most important person in the Embroidered Uniform Guards lived.
This courtyard was dark, small, and dilapidated.
Fortunately, Shen Yan was a clean and tidy person, so he would not have nowhere to go.
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Yan, who was sleeping soundly on his stomach. She took off his boots and then painstakingly flipped him over.
She accidentally heard his stomach growling.
She was surprised at first, then smiled sweetly.
He must have not eaten anything for a day and a night. Even when he slept, his stomach was protesting.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan went to the low kitchen in the courtyard.
She searched for usable ingredients in the kitchen, then lit the flint and firewood.
Although Wang Yuyan was the eldest daughter of Mantuo Villa, she had countless maids and nannies. She did not need to cook personally.
However, she was talented and intelligent. She could even master the complicated martial arts of various families, let alone a small matter like cooking.
She still managed to make her first meal with the ingredients she had.
Bamboo shoots, meat slices, and egg soup.
…………
In the palace.
Wei Xiaobao hurried over with a memorial in hand.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of England's memorial has arrived.”
When the Emperor heard this news, he immediately stood up.
After taking it and reading it once, his eyes bloomed with ecstasy.
"Haha, Shen Yan again. He had completed his mission and killed Ye Gucheng.”
"Reward, there will be heavy rewards. Where is Shen Yan?"
The Emperor now really wanted to meet this loyal descendant who had repeatedly made great contributions.
"Your Majesty, he has returned home. Are you sleeping soundly?"
Wei Xiaobao replied.
"Slumber?" The Emperor was surprised, but then he immediately understood. His expression was very moved."It must be hard on Shen Yan. To catch these damned scum of the martial world, he did not rest for two days and one night at such a young age.”
Thinking of this, he suddenly said,"Little Wei, such a loyal and patriotic person has to be rewarded."”
"When I was a prince, I rewarded him with the manor. I'll let him go to Chuxiu Palace to choose a few new maids and allow him to bring twenty imperial guards.”
The Emperor kept saying," This is still not enough. Give him another promotion and make him the Deputy Commander of the Brocade Guard. I want all the Brocade Guards to know that he is the next Commander."”
"Yes, I am. Little Wei will send someone to deliver the decree." Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded.
"Oh right, there will be a state banquet in three days.”the Emperor instructed again.
"Yes."
Shen Yan's dilapidated courtyard was filled with a faint fragrance.
Wang Yuyan was very happy. It seemed that she also had excellent talent in cooking.
Even if it was just some crude ingredients, they could make such delicious food.
This made her very happy.
Shen Yan woke up from his sleep when he smelled the faint aroma of food.
As a peerless expert, even if he only rested for an hour, he could recover his body to its peak condition.
"It smells so good."
When he walked out of the house, he saw Wang Yuyan carrying out a plate of delicious food from the low kitchen.
"You're awake."
When Wang Yuyan saw Chen Yan, her beautiful face revealed a look of surprise.
"Wash your hands and eat. It's all done."
Shen Yan looked at the dishes on the table in disbelief.
"You made it?"
"Yes, but this is the first time I'm doing it, so please forgive me, Lord Shen.”"But there are no steamed buns. I've steamed all your rice." Wang Yuyan smiled mischievously.”
If it was three days ago, before the system awakened, Shen Yan would have cried out," This woman was really a spendthrift. That rice was half a month's worth of his rations.
"Haha, then I'll have a good taste.”
Shen Yan took the rice from the beautiful girl and tasted the dishes on the table. After taking a bite, he was shocked.
"This…Is this really your first time cooking?”
"Yeah, is it delicious?"
"Haha, of course. I've never eaten such delicious bamboo shoots and meat slices.”
During this meal, Shen Yan finished several bowls of rice.
Almost half of the vegetables had gone into his stomach.
Wang Yuyan was also very happy to see him eat so cleanly.
"I also know a lot of Jiangnan dishes. If you like them, I'll make them for you in the future.”
At this moment, a commotion came from outside the door.
"Lord Shen, are you back? I'm Fatty Jin."
Shen Yan was very familiar with this voice, Fatty Jin? Fatty Jin of the Sixth Guard Institute had actually come looking for him.
Shen Yan thought of Fatty Jin, who had lent him a set of golden silk armor, and he had a deep impression of this person.
Thinking of this, he walked out and opened the courtyard door.
Outside the door, Fatty Jin, more than ten hundred households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, a few deputy thousand households, and the thousand households of the East City Guard Office.
Everyone was carrying big and small bags of gifts, and their faces were piled with flattering smiles.
"Fatty Jin is here. Come in quickly."
Shen Yan was in a good mood. When he saw Fatty Jin again, he was extremely enthusiastic.
When Fatty Jin saw Shen Yan's enthusiasm for him, his hunched back instantly straightened up.
"Sir, we heard that you captured Ye Gucheng and killed all the assassins. We are all proud of you.”
After Fatty Jin squeezed into the narrow courtyard door, he immediately changed his identity.
At this moment, he was no longer a guest.
Instead, he became Shen Yan's servant.
As he received the gifts from the Centurions and Deputy Thousand-Households, he brought out small stools and placed them in the courtyard. He warmly welcomed the Centurions, Deputy Thousand-Households, and Thousand Households.
Fatty Jin was running around, busy with everything. Shen Yan did not have to worry about anything at all.
Not only did everyone not look down on Fatty Jin, but they were even more enthusiastic about him.
Because everyone knew that Fatty Jin was now leaning on a towering tree.
