The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 22
The atmosphere in Anhetang has been a little depressed recently, and the reason is naturally due to the owner Sheng Guogong. He has been a little too irritable recently, and if he says something wrong, it will explode like pouring water into oil.

The reason for this has to start from the day when the meeting broke up unhappy.

Sheng Xiangxun took his wife and children and left without looking back. He made Sheng Guogong choked up and couldn't get up and down. He was not in the mood to talk about the second matter with the rest of his descendants, but just said it in a nutshell. Probably, he waved his hand and dismissed the meeting.

As soon as his children and grandchildren left, Sheng Guogong ran to the study and sulked. It was Mrs. Chang's good coaxing that made his face brighten and he smiled a little.

At this time, he learned from the flower servant that the peony flower king he had carefully cultivated had been murdered!

That was what he prepared for the flower feast in a few days time!

Half a year of painstaking cultivation!Just waiting to be a blockbuster in front of old friends!

The result?The branches are still there, and the delicate flowers are gone!Woah!His Kao!
Sheng Guogong managed to catch his breath, and without turning his head, he locked on the murderer - his third son who was worried!

Fortunately, Sheng Xiangxun had done so much to disrupt his father's situation, so that Duke Sheng's anger calmed down a lot after he realized that it was probably him who made things difficult for him.

After all, he lives in the same mansion, and Sheng Guogong, who is rational and automatic, is thinking about it. He should uphold the principle of good-neighborliness and friendship between father and son, and talk to this kid.

But he didn't want to, he brought that boy to confront him, and the boy not only refused to admit it, but even pushed it to his two girls, saying that the two young ones picked it by themselves!He didn't know it before!
ha? !

Sheng Guogong was very happy at that time.

This is an insult to his mind!
Does he look so deceitful?
"How old are the two little girls? Sister An can't even reach on tiptoe, let alone the younger one!"

"Then don't you like the big one to hold the small one?" Sheng Xiangxun actually didn't ask how the girl picked the peony, so she just casually explained it.

But these words sounded in Sheng Guogong's ears, but he felt that he was sophistrying: "The big one is holding the small one? That's right, the big one is you!"

His little granddaughter, Xiao Jiuniang, is round. Just by looking at her small arms, which look like lotus root joints, you can tell that her weight is not light. Watching her pick flowers?Just kidding!

This kid must think that he is easy to fool, so let him lie here!

Thinking of this, Sheng Guogong felt that his majesty as a father was damaged, and he didn't give this kid a chance to distinguish right now. He picked up the thorns to make him recall the taste of family law.

Sheng Xiangxun saw that it was not good, and immediately ran away, shouting: "The sage teaches, out of filial piety, the little stick is subject to the big stick and goes away, old man, get out!"

It was fine if he didn't yell, but when he yelled, Sheng Guogong was so angry that his well-trimmed beard blew up, and he hurriedly called for someone to help block this kid.

This third master Sheng's unsparing reputation, not to mention in Anhetang, is in the whole Duke's mansion, who knows who doesn't know?Even the servants didn't dare to really stop him, if he passed in front of them, they would pretend to raise their hands to promise that the master would fall down if he pulled him, and they definitely couldn't really keep him.

Just like that, Third Master Sheng walked around the mansion laughing and joking, not at all mature and stable when he was almost in his forties; behind him, the old and vigorous Sheng Guogong waved a thorn and chased after him. It seemed that he had been practicing martial arts all year round. His son is not bad either.

The two men chased each other, and they ran out of the atmosphere in the dignified Duke's mansion. In the end, Sheng Guogong lost his shoes and messed up his hair, instead of being out of breath. I stopped chasing after I couldn't run anymore.

After the attempted beating incident, Duke Sheng who calmed down suddenly found that he hadn't said anything about what he planned to tell this kid after the meeting!
I wanted to talk to that kid again, but I sent people over again and again, and this kid avoided him like a loach, obviously because he didn't want to see him!
Realizing this, Sheng Guogong's mood, which had just recovered, became irritable again.

In the end, it was his eldest son who came out in person to make this kid obediently appear in An Hetang's study.

"Hmph!" Sheng Guogong snorted angrily, and then got down to business.

"In a few days, our residence will hold a garden party. At that time, not only the nobles from Beijing and China will come, but also the Daqi family who settled in Beijing before."

"No, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Sheng Xiangxun's incoherent startled voice made Duke Sheng think of beating up his son again.Fortunately, he held back in time.

He knew that the kid could hear clearly, so he didn't say anything more, but just looked at him sullenly, giving him time to digest.

"No, it's alright, you're always idle, how can you come up with a garden party? If it's boring, can you raise a troupe?! Don't have such a big party of joint honors! Return, return, return ...And invite Daqi's family? You are so thoughtful!"

Sheng Xiangxun digested it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out: "Who are those people! Do you think it's safe for them to settle in the capital? Who knows what they think in their hearts! Such people cannot be approached!"

"This is the will of the Holy One!"

"... Shengming Candlelight!" Sheng Xiangxun was startled when he heard the words, but soon realized that he immediately cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city, and said sonorously, "Father, you have to make good arrangements!"

The corner of Sheng Guogong's mouth twitched, he has gained a lot of knowledge today, who would have thought that this son's face has evolved to such a terrifying level!

"The Holy Majesty told me before that you must let the men and women in your family, Mr. Ying, entertain the female Jiao'e and Mrs. Xiaolang who came from Daqi, so that they can clearly feel the demeanor of Dachu... So, I will leave this matter to you to arrange."

Sheng Xiangxun, who was just breaking out in a cold sweat, was unhappy: "Everything in the house is the responsibility of the elder brother. Why do you push it to me?"

"If it wasn't for your little Jiuniang, do you think I'd make you responsible?" Sheng Guogong glared at his son.

"Who? Little Jiuniang? Sister Yuan? Are you joking!" Sheng Xiangxun felt that his father was really confused. "My sister Yuan is only three years old! Three years old! Are you recruiting a three-year-old child?"

Duke Sheng rolled his eyes at him, and said softly: "Your Majesty intends to change the atmosphere of Qi people, but they have been bad at Shen Ke for a long time, and if they want to see results as soon as possible, only strong medicine can do it, so in this gathering, boys and girls will hang out together ...But do the math yourself, who else is there in the family who is a girl under the age of six? Only Xiao Jiuniang!"

"What can Sister Yuan do?" Sheng Xiangxun felt that his father was thinking too much, since he took over all the work, so why bother?Anyway, there are many maids and women in the yard, so many eyes watching, let the children slip away in public.

"Da Chu has different seats for men and women at seven years old, but Da Qi does not meet for men and women at five years old." Because he needed this kid, Sheng Guogong broke away patiently and said to him, "Although His Majesty intends to change Qi's atmosphere, this is not the case. Maybe it can be done right away, and the other party must not resist when they first meet. Xiao Jiuniang is very suitable, and when the time comes, let her be the leader and answer the questions of the boys and girls in Daqi."

Princess Sheng Guo had investigated this little granddaughter when she wanted to hit her. Although this little girl was just three years old, she could speak clearly, speak well, run and jump, and was full of energy. She was completely qualified for this entertaining task.

"Will those wooden stakes in Daqi still ask questions?" Sheng Xiangxun had been to Daqi for a study tour and lived there for a year or so, so he knew more or less the atmosphere there.

Women in Daqi had their feet bound since they were young, and they lived on the embroidery tower since they were born, huddled in the house all day long without seeing the light of the sky.It is impossible to go downstairs, food and water will be delivered by someone; the only chance in his life to get out of the attic is to get married, but that is just shutting down from one floor to another.

"I can't read, maybe someone can teach some etiquette? Who knows! Even birds in cages are far inferior. Do you think they can have ideas? Ask questions!" Sheng Xiangxun felt that after he had been to Daqi once, There is a shadow, and I don't want my daughter to contact the people who come out there.

"They don't have their own ideas, so they don't know how to repeat it!" Sheng Guogong rolled his eyes, thinking that this son was a bit stupid, "Who do you think His Majesty wants to show?"

"This..." Sheng Xiangxun understood, "Are you afraid that other nieces and daughters will scare Da Qi's noble daughter by speaking in front of men?"

"I'm afraid that the boys in Daqi won't listen to it! They stick to the old rules, afraid that they won't show it on the face, and they will sneer at girls over six years old when they speak in public, and have a grudge in their hearts."

Sheng Guogong rubbed his head: "Okay, I've told you everything I need to say. You should pay more attention and teach Jiuniang how to speak these days. I remember that this child has a good memory? Then you organize the manuscript and let her read it carefully." Just keep your back, if you encounter a problem that you don’t understand, just smile and let them think about it!”

As for the effect of the garden party?Anyway, the Duke of Shengguo is following His Majesty's will, and the effect depends only on whether those Qi people are stubborn or not, and has nothing to do with the Duke of Shengguo.

Sheng Xiangxun nodded intentionally, but thinking that his little girl was a bit lazy, he was afraid that she would go on strike and not cooperate!Children, you can't beat and scold and you can't scold, the reason may not make sense!

Regarding his concerns, Sheng Guogong said that it was his own problem: "If it can be done, I will credit you. Brother Xin, if you are willing to let the Zheng family go, I will just ask."

"!!!" Sheng Xiangxun was overjoyed when he heard it, and finally he could not be messed around by the old man, so how could he not, "Then it's a deal!"

Seeing that the kid finally nodded, Sheng Guogong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and began to drink tea with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Sheng Yuan, who was sleeping soundly with her belly open in Yong Fan Yuan, scratched her cheeks, kicked her fat feet, turned half a circle around her buttocks, and fell asleep again.

The system that triggered the emulator start-up program, looked at the task on the light screen, and then looked at the sleeping host who knew nothing, and didn't know whether to sympathize with this quasi-salted fish.
