The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 4 There are many things in the palace
When Sheng Yuan opened his eyes, the sky was not yet dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun diffused into the house through the tulle on the hollowed-out window edges, covering the furniture and decorations in the house with a special sunset light.

Probably this child's body affected Sheng Yuan, so that she wanted to find her mother as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Lingniang, don't be angry, the old man didn't just get dizzy now. Before the eldest brother was born... oh, no, no, no... It should be said that he was already dizzy before marriage, otherwise he wouldn't be so indulgent. It's five and six."

Sheng Yuan raised her eyebrows when she heard her father's angry words. After thinking about it secretly, she guessed that the old man her father mentioned was her grandfather Sheng Guogong. Sheng Xiangya is gone.

Realizing that she heard her parents whispering, the sleepiness in Sheng Yuan's mind disappeared immediately, leaving only the nervousness and curiosity of doing bad things in her heart.

"Grandpa Guo is the head of the family in this mansion. I live in his room and eat his food, so naturally I have to suffer from his grievances."

Amazing!
Sheng Yuan heard that her mother's words were full of helplessness and grievances, but there was a certain arrogance in her tone of voice, and there seemed to be other meanings in her words, but she seemed to be unable to hear it with her little head.

But it doesn't matter if she can't hear it, her father can understand it, no, he said: "Why did Ling Niang say that? At the beginning, the Sheng family and the Zheng family married two surnames. Who didn't know that the Zheng family's ten miles of red makeup surprised the capital? Zheng Jialian Lingniang has already prepared the expenses for living to a hundred years old, where can I use the Sheng family?"

"Sanlang sounds good, but who owns the Shengguo mansion I live in? Whose are most of the maids, wives, and servants we use in Yongfan Garden? I live in someone else's house, use their servants, or If you want to receive the moon silver given by others, you don't have to respect the person they hold in your palm!"

Sheng Yuan may have listened more seriously than her father. Before her father said anything, she nodded slightly in her heart, and seemed to agree with her mother's words.

She knew that the person her mother mentioned that Sheng Guogong held in her palm was the fifty-nine-fifty concubine Mrs. Chang in the backyard of the Duke's mansion.

The second and fourth masters in the mansion are all descended from her.

Sheng Yuan remembered that the little girl in the garden once gossiped that her uncle and Mrs. Chang had a second son who was only one year older, so when you think about it, you can see how fierce the competition was.

"Lingniang, don't worry, I understand your grievances, just be patient, my aunt promised me before, wait... I will definitely be knighted, no matter how big or small the knighthood is, we will be able to move out of the Duke's mansion in a legitimate way. At that time, no matter how smoky the house is, it has nothing to do with our family of five."

Sheng Yuan became excited after hearing this. Although the Duke's Mansion is rich and magnificent, the people here are really powerful. She still remembers the verbal confrontation at the Zhou Banquet, not only for the women, but also for the mansion. The words of the elders and younger masters in the movie also revealed the sharpness of swords, guns, swords and halberds. Coupled with their appearance of smiling but not smiling, Sheng Yuan felt that her little heart was hurt very much.

"Sanlang thinks too much. Although my aunt loves you, but at that time... I have the holy uncle to help me. I haven't heard that my aunt's cousin is also ennobled!"

Not to mention that Mrs. Zheng didn't believe it, even Sheng Yuan didn't believe it, but if her aunt became the queen mother and her father had a close relationship with the emperor, the treatment would definitely not be low!
Oh, by the way, her aunt is the current Empress Qin, and she is the sister of her grandmother Qin Shi; she is the son of two current princes, especially the current prince, who was the former King Hui. But it's a small friendship.Well, she actually overheard this information from her parents.

"Lingniang didn't know that my grandmother only gave birth to our wife and aunt in the Qin family. When the Chang family did something wrong, the wife suffered a lot of grievances, and none of the men in the Qin family stood up to make decisions. At that time, my aunt was already eleven or twelve years old. I remember; later on, when my grandmother passed away, the Qin family snatched the marriage that my grandmother had ordered for my aunt, and they went all over the place to marry the well-behaved daughter of the Qin family as a concubine. In the past, my aunt's life was even more difficult, and it was only after she had a chance that she gradually got better."

Listening to her father's revelation, Sheng Yuan had already played out countless dramas in her mind.

The little round face is full of pleasant surprises.

It is said that mother and daughter are connected. Obviously, the inside story mentioned by her father's words made her mother a little excited, but adults are adults after all, and they think more than children like her. No, she reminded: "Sanlang, just say these words this time, and never say them again in the future."

Sheng Xiangxun naturally knew the seriousness: "I said this to ease your heart, and I will never speak to others again... I told you to listen to it so that you don't want to be angry with those villains. In Zhonggong, the position of eldest brother may not be able to fall, but then again, with the support of our aunt, as long as we don't make big jokes, Lingniang can do as he pleases, and those who are not on the stage don't need to give her face. "

Sheng Yuan clicked her tongue when she heard these words, and she didn't know if the villain in her father's mouth included Sheng Guogong!

"When my sister Huaiyuan was a child, there was a lot of thinking there. The few things caught in the yard were sent in the name of Mrs. Liang. It can be seen that she has a lot of plans. The old man wants Xin I don't agree with my son going back to the mansion, Xin'er is our eldest son, he is only the second young master in this mansion, there is no need to get involved, if you have that time, you might as well study hard at Zheng's family."

When Sheng Yuan heard her mother mention her eldest brother Sheng Xin, she was immediately curious. This brother, who is 12 years older than her, showed up when she caught Zhou, and she had never seen him before. The reason why she has an impression of him , but also thanks to this brother who sent her gifts every month.

According to the gossip she heard overheard by pretending to be asleep, her brother was raised by his grandparents and was a very talented child.

"I don't want Xin'er to come. Although Mrs. Liang has no conflicts with us, she has grown-up children, and now her grandsons are also established. She will inevitably not think too much. Eldest, after all, there is an orderly hierarchy. Neither the eldest brother nor I can inherit the words of the Duke of the State. According to the order, it should be her son, and it is not the turn of the second and fourth! After all, although the fifth is young, he is also a legitimate son; Even though Chang's is the real wife in the old man's heart, aren't they still concubines in name?"

Hearing what her father said, Sheng Yuan suddenly understood what it meant to have no permanent friends.

The Mrs. Liang that her father mentioned was the wife of Duke Sheng, who was married to Duke Sheng. She was now the Duke's wife in Shengguo's mansion. She had only one son, her fifth uncle, Sheng Xiangjun.

Now, her fifth uncle also has a son and a daughter.

Probably because of the lack of power (?), Mrs. Liang and Sheng Xiangjun have a good relationship with the eldest son Sheng Xiangya and the third master Sheng Xiangxun. They cooperate from time to time to make Sheng Guogong's eccentricity that is about to have nowhere to rest.

It's just that I didn't expect that the cooperation of more than 20 years also appeared cracks.

"This is the relationship between the main contradiction at present and the main contradiction in the future!" Sheng Yuan was quite emotional.
