The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 15 The First Meeting

An He Tang is the most central courtyard of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. It used to be the residence of Dukes and couples of the past dynasties.

When he married his original wife, the Daqin family, the old Duke and his wife were still alive. After Sheng Xuan took over the position of Duke, he gave up the main courtyard and chose Funing Hall, which is adjacent to the main courtyard, as the main courtyard.

Later, when the old Duke and his wife went away, Sheng Xuan didn't mention moving away, but only used the main courtyard as a place to meet guests; after the Daqin family disappeared, he claimed that he couldn't bear to live in a sad place for a long time, so he moved to live in Anhetang.

After remarrying Mrs. Liang, he also said that he wanted to arrange a new residence for the new couple, so he made the decision to give Mrs. Liang the Qingyan Garden on the other side of Anhe Hall as her main courtyard.

From then on, although Sheng Guogong visited Qingyan Garden every day, he didn't stay there often. Instead, he acquiesced that Anhetang was his courtyard.

Later, when Mrs. Liang gave birth, he thought he had given Mrs. Liang a foundation for her life, so he grandly arranged for Mrs. Chang, the concubine, to live in the side courtyard of Anhetang.

For this reason, Mrs. Liang was not less angry, and there was even a quarrel between Anhetang and Qingyanyuan, and Sheng Guogong almost shouted to divorce his wife.

In the end, it was Liang's sister-in-law who came to talk to her, and Liang acquiesced to the fact that Chang settled down in the side courtyard of Anhetang.

However, in order to save each other's face, Sheng Guogong also made a promise that he would not let Mrs. Chang come in and out of the main courtyard of Anhe hall for nothing.

As for whether this guarantee will be effective after the Anhetang is closed, it is not clear.

Anyway, when Sheng Yuan was carried into the main hall of the main courtyard by her father, Mrs. Chang was sitting beside Duke Sheng.

When Mr. Sheng had a meeting at home, he always arrived on time. Basically, when he went in, the agreed time would arrive.

In other words, if you can understand it, as long as no one is late, Mr. Sheng will definitely be the last one to arrive.

No, Sheng Yuan, who was hugged by him, showed up in the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion for the first time, and he felt the attention of all the people!
It was a "swish" all of a sudden, all eyes came together!

Sheng Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable, she hugged her father's neck with one hand, and looked back and forth with her little head stretched out.

Uh, feeling two special eyes coming from different directions, Sheng Yuan blinked, not thinking about where to look first.

However, this special feeling was fleeting, and when she chose to look at it, it was not as unusual as before, so that she couldn't find the owner of her sight.

If you didn't find it, you didn't find it. Who made Sheng Yuan such a big-hearted child? She quickly put the situation behind her and looked at it happily while the adults were greeting each other. protagonists.

According to her sister, grandfather Sheng Xuan is already in his sixties, but Sheng Yuan looked at the elegant grandfather in front of him, whose facial features could still be seen to be somewhat handsome, and felt that the word "Sir" was particularly suitable for him, and he looked very similar The dean of the mountain academy.

Sitting on the right seat with her grandfather is Mrs. Liang, the duke's wife. She looks kind and kind, not like the legendary fierce temper; according to her sister, Mrs. Liang is nearly 20 years younger than her grandfather, but now she is only forty. There are six, but because she always likes to dress up according to the status and rank of the wife of the country, so at a glance, she seems to be the same age as her husband.

Sheng Yuan glanced at the beautiful Mrs. Liang, and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Chang who was dressed in casual clothes.

Although this lady has an ordinary appearance, probably because of her smooth life, she is about [-] years old, but she looks younger than Mrs. Liang; I don't know if it's because she lives in Anhetang, but she looks a little A bit of the bearing of a housewife.

Shengyuan blinked her big eyes like black grapes, and found something interesting: Although Mrs. Liang and her grandfather were sitting side by side, judging from their attire, Sheng Guogong and Mrs. Chang, who were dressed in uniforms of the same color, looked like Mrs. It was an ordinary couple, especially when her grandfather and Mrs. Chang looked at each other from time to time. Compared with Mrs. Liang's formulaic smile, she could see the difference even more.

Anyway, none of the two ladies above is her own grandmother, so Sheng Yuan was very happy to eat melons. She wished she could draw this scene into a painting and take it home. When she was free, she would play a game of finding fault and look at Sheng Guogong. What is the difference between Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Liang when they were on the same camera?

As the saying goes, when you look at the scenery on the bridge, the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

No, Sheng Yuan looked at everyone in her father's arms, and the people in the main hall also noticed her more or less.

Especially Sheng Guogong, when he saw this little granddaughter for the first time, he was taken aback.

Good guy, how did this fat little girl who looked like a glutinous rice ball eat it?

Those who didn't know thought it was his son who saw other people's children were good-looking and snatched them!
Thinking of this, Sheng Yao couldn't help but look at the children and grandchildren in the hall, and then nodded silently in his heart: He just said, the Sheng family has always been thin, and they can't get fat even if they eat.Sure enough, this little girl is the only fat Yuanzi in the family!
"Hey, I haven't seen Sister Yuan for a while, and she looks more and more festive!" The second young lady's wife, Mrs. He, spoke.

Sheng Yuan heard the sound and looked over, and saw an extremely magnificent woman dressed in gold and silver smiling at her. This second aunt's eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful that she suppressed the flamboyance of her outfit, and instead let her People think she deserves to be dressed like this.

"Yeah, little Jiuniang is three years old before I know it, and time flies by so fast." Mrs. Yang, the fifth young lady, answered with a chuckle, but she couldn't tell from the words that there was a quarrel between the two of them. It's the same as usual when my sister-in-law strikes up a conversation, nothing unusual.

Sheng Yuan turned her head to look at the fifth aunt who called her "Little Jiuniang".

According to the old practice, Sheng Jia Jiu Niang is her official name outside, if there is no official study order before, she is the "Sheng Jia Jiu Niangzi" and "Sheng Jiu Niang" in the mouth of the people.

But when she was three years old, the nickname she heard most was Sister Yuan.

If her fifth aunt, Yang Shi, didn't speak, she would really have a sense of tranquility and beauty, and she would look weak; but when she spoke, her five sense organs would move, giving people the feeling that she was so energetic that she seemed to be inexhaustible .

"Okay, don't tease our little Jiuniang anymore, let the child recognize our relatives, her uncle and I are ready for a meeting ceremony." It was still the eldest young lady Yun who saw that everyone was almost exchanging greetings, and coughed twice Speaking of business, she noticed that her father-in-law frowned a few times before, and she guessed that she was impatient, so she quickly reminded everyone that the father-in-law had something to say after the child had finished identifying him.

As the wife of the duoduer heir of the Duke's Mansion and the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Yun's words still carry weight, so Sheng Yuan looked at this beautiful but dignified aunt again.

Well, he looks like a gentle man!
After all, Sheng Yuan is a child, although she imagines that she will see everyone at a glance, but in fact, her eyes follow her ears, and she looks at whoever makes a movement.

It's not that the Fourth Madam Chen is not fond of words but has a festive appearance. She discovered it when she recognized people in order.

Seeing that Xiaoyao's tea table for receiving gifts and red envelopes was almost full, Sheng Yuan smiled happily, and said to himself, no matter what the relationship between these rooms is, but they are very generous!

Ahem, it's not that she's a fan of money, she doesn't really care if she has money or not, she just likes to unwrap presents!
