The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1125 Guess

In the newly built retirement home in the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, Zheng and Sheng Xiangxun looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What did the Queen say to Sister Yuan? How come this child seems to have changed completely after coming back from a visit to the palace?"

"Yeah, it's like, it's like drinking chicken blood!"

Sheng Xiangxun agreed and received a punch from his wife on time.

"How can you say that about your own daughter!" Zheng felt that her little daughter was already noisy enough, and if she continued to be described like this, she was afraid that she would run to the court and make a big fuss.

Although Sheng Xiangxun didn't quite understand his wife's logic, he followed the principle that "my wife is always right" and changed his rhetoric immediately: "This girl of ours is full of energy! Full of energy!"

"But he's too energetic! All day long he's either running around the martial arts field to practice all kinds of weapons, or leading a large group of guards to deploy troops... How can you be a marquis, but you don't know the direction of the court? Could it be that the cabinet is asking our sister Yuan to lead the troops to fight again?"

  Sheng Xiangxun scratched his head, thinking about it and thinking it was unlikely. Finally, he stroked his beard and said with certainty: "No! Not to mention that since Da Chu and Nurhan joined forces to wipe out Arong, there has been almost no war around this territory!

Now the seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, the territory is calm, where is the war for the army to fight! Besides, since the current government has been entrusted to An..."

At this point, Sheng Xiangxun changed his words under his wife's warning gaze: "Ahem, ever since the current emperor entrusted the government to the Queen and the cabinet ministers, most matters in the court have to be approved by the Queen... With the Queen's love for Sister Yuan, she can't let her go easily."

"Then why is your little daughter so excited?" Zheng didn't know if it was because she was getting older, but what she couldn't stand the most now was her little daughter being overly excited.

If this girl gets too excited, something bad will definitely happen.

"Although the Queen sent Zhiyu back earlier to tell us not to worry, I still can't feel at ease, especially after the Emperor suddenly made such a fuss... Every time I think about it, my eyelids start twitching."

Zheng became restless when she thought about what was happening in the palace.

Based on her understanding of the emperor and her knowledge of her eldest daughter...what was happening before her eyes, whether it was the emperor's extraordinary behavior or her eldest daughter's calm reaction, was strange in every way.

"If I had known, I would not have called in sick and stayed at the palace when Princess Hong'an and the royal family invited me to join them! Now, even if I want to go to the palace to see An... ahem, even if I want to go to the palace to see the queen, it's not convenient."

"Didn't Sister Yuan say that when she came back the other day? The Queen is doing fine." Although Sheng Xiangxun was also worried, he trusted his little girl more.

Since Sister Yuan said it's okay, then it must be okay!

"Can……"

"No buts! My wife!" Sheng Xiangxun didn't wait for Zheng to finish her words, and immediately held her hand to comfort her, "If you are really worried, then let's call An Yu and ask him what's going on! The child is older now, and she doesn't tell us everything like before, but she must tell Yu Ge'er, right? Let's ask him!"

"Brother Yu?!" When Zheng mentioned the son-in-law who lived in Yongxing Marquis Mansion, her expression became particularly rich. "Do you think he can tell us if Sister Yuan doesn't let him? That guy is more tactful than you!"

"He doesn't have the ability to advise and remonstrate like me! Husband and wife are originally one, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, which combine to form a square or a circle! Therefore, when it comes to giving advice and remonstrance, you must be brave enough to speak up, and don't be afraid of being beaten or scolded. As the saying goes, an honest minister must give good advice to prevent the monarch from becoming stupid."

"Hehe." Zheng looked at her husband who was getting older and more out of touch with nature and sneered twice. She felt the duster not far away getting ready to move.

When Sheng Xiangxun heard this familiar laugh, he touched the goose bumps on his arms and immediately volunteered: "I'll go talk to Yu Ge'er!" ...

"Huh? Dad, don't you know that Sister Yuan is about to take office as the first deputy governor of the Five Military Governor's Office?" An Yu blinked and asked his father-in-law curiously.

"..." Sheng Xiangxun was stunned, "Are you sure you are talking about the Five Military Command? The first deputy commander?"

An Yu nodded confidently: "That's right! The transfer order is coming soon, it's to this place and this position."

Sheng Xiangxun pursed his lips and looked quite calm.

But just when An Yu was impressed by his father-in-law's calm and self-controlled reaction and wanted to learn from him, his father-in-law asked loudly: "Sister Yuan is going to work at the Five Military Commander's Office?! And as the first deputy commander?!"

The corners of An Yu's lips trembled, and he nodded quickly.

"No!" Sheng Xiangxun's lips trembled a few times, and he continued, "Isn't Sister Yuan doing well in the Ministry of Revenue? According to the court's promotion rules, if Sister Yuan wants to be transferred, she should go to the Ministry of Personnel, right?"

"Oh, you mean the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!" An Yu thought that his father-in-law didn't want Sister Yuan to switch from civil service to military service, so he said happily, "That's still Sister Yuan's! Sister Yuan is only concurrently the First Commander of the Five Military Command Office."

"..." Sheng Xiangxun closed his eyes and said with a little certainty, "This is the Queen's arrangement, right?!"

"That should be it!" An Yu thought about it, and fearing that his father-in-law would make trouble, he quickly explained to Sister Yuan, "Sister Yuan probably wants to wait for the transfer order to come down and give you a surprise."

"Haha, surprise? That's right. He's in a high position of power as soon as he returns to Beijing. How can I not be surprised?"

Sheng Xiangxun stomped his feet in a tense manner, grabbed An Yu's arm and ran back, thinking that he had to tell his wife about his new discovery as soon as possible.

"Dad! Dad! How can you run so fast? I, I can't keep up with you!" An Yu didn't pay attention and his father-in-law grabbed his wrist and dragged him all the way from the side door to the main courtyard door.

"Huh? Why are you following me, kid? What are you making a fuss about?" Sheng Xiangxun was startled by An Yu's breathless voice, and then he realized that there was such a person in front of him.

"..." An Yu stared at his father-in-law with his eyes wide open, and raised his arm that was still in his father-in-law's iron hand, "Dad, look, didn't you pull me here?"

"Hey!" Sheng Xiangxun looked at his hand that was holding the boy's arm, and finally reacted and immediately let go.

"Why didn't you say so earlier, kid!" Sheng Xiangxun sighed and shook his sore palms. "I was wondering why it was so hard to run. I thought I was old and useless, but I didn't expect that I was still dragging you down!"

"..."An Yu was speechless after hearing this.

Well, he's become a burden.

"Go back. You two young people can eat in your own yard today. You don't have to accompany us old couple!" Sheng Xiangxun waved his hand and rushed into the yard as soon as he finished speaking.

"..." Looking at the courtyard gate that kept him out, An Yu touched the door knocker with a helpless look and sighed.
