The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"My lord, we have dozens of storerooms in Wubenzhai. In my opinion, you should pick up the important boxes and move them away, and lock up the rest temporarily." After the housekeeper in Sheng Xin's courtyard had people count the items, she went to find Sheng Xin to report.

Sheng Xin understood what she meant when she heard that. She raised her head from the table and said with a smile, "Mammy, did you just come back from the new courtyard?"

The housekeeper spread her hands helplessly and said, "My Lord, our new courtyard is large, but the masters of this family all have a lot of belongings. But you have made a lot of arrangements for that mansion. If we bring all your inventory over, I'm afraid it will take up a lot of space."

Sheng Xin chuckled after hearing this: "Although I don't have many valuable items here, I have brought back a lot of things when I went out to explore the world. Now when I look at them again, they are all memories from the past. I really can't bear to throw any of them away. Who would have thought that I would accumulate more and more."

The housekeeper couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "In my opinion, it's good not to throw it away. It will be a wise move to pass it on to the young masters and girls at home in the future. After all, our mansion is large, so we can be more generous with it."

"In that case, please arrange for someone to count again, and lock up everything that doesn't need to be moved."

After Sheng Xin said this, the housekeeper bowed and said yes.

But I never expected that not long after the nanny left, she came back in a hurry with a nervous look on her face.

This made Sheng Xin, who was sorting the volumes by hand, wonder: "What happened to Madam?"

Before she could catch her breath, the housekeeper whispered to Sheng Xin, "I just left the yard and saw many soldiers in helmets and armor heading towards the nursing home. They looked unfamiliar. They didn't look like the soldiers in the mansion or the Duke's Mansion."

"Oh?!" Sheng Xin's face tensed and he quickly asked someone to ask the housekeeper.

The person sent to inquire quickly ran back and said to Sheng Xin, "My Lord, I didn't see the butler. He told the servant the other day that half a quarter of an hour ago, the Duke came to our house with many people, and went straight to the nursing home to see the old marquis without saying a word. The butler followed them at that time."

"Uncle?! What's the meaning of him bringing so many people to the mansion?" Sheng Xin tapped the table with his fingers, "Can the servant tell me who the people are that uncle brought? Are they dressed like those from the Patrol Division? Or those from the City Defense Battalion?" The servant who answered hurriedly said, "I asked, and it seems that...the Nine Cities Military Division arranged a guard for the president. It is said that they are elite soldiers drawn from the two departments."

"The president leads a bodyguard?" This was the first time Sheng Xin heard of this.

The main reason is that such a force has never appeared inside or outside the Shengguo Mansion before.

"All right, but they brought such a team... Could it be that something went wrong in the palace?"

As soon as he came up with this idea, his imagination was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. When it found an opportunity, it ran away without stopping! In the end, he could no longer sit still.

"Let me go and take a look!" Sheng Xin stood up and asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on Wubenzhai. He also asked the servant to pass on the message to Wen Ya Pavilion and Zhengyuan Hall, telling them to close the gate and not come out without his permission.

He had made all the arrangements and just as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the steward of the Shengguo Mansion hurried over. When he saw him, he first greeted him and then said, "The Duke and the Marquis asked me to tell the prince to go to the nursing home."

……

Sheng Xin didn't think much about it and hurried towards the nursing home. It was not until he walked into the main courtyard of the garden that he realized something was wrong.

Why is it so quiet inside and outside the house? ! (End of this chapter)
