The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

After the news that Duke Sheng led troops to conquer the coalition forces of Ajong and Nurhan spread in Duke Sheng's mansion, Mrs. Chang in the side yard of Anhe Hall and Mrs. Liang in Qingyan Garden immediately panicked.

Mrs. Chang stared at the old Duke with tears in her eyes and choked with tears several times.

"It was I who killed you!"

I wanted her to be smart for nearly a lifetime, but I didn't want my biological granddaughter to be extremely stupid.

"What does it have to do with you!" Although the old Duke Sheng was worried about the future of the Sheng Guo Palace, he never angered Mrs. Chang, "You came up with the idea, but I allowed it, and the follow-up arrangements have nothing to do with you... After all, who would have thought What happens more than ten years later? That’s all! That’s all!”

Old Duke Sheng could see it openly and waved his hand: "The fate of the generals who were buried in horse leather on the battlefield. If I use my old body to give Duke Sheng a future, I will not hesitate to do so! It can be considered as a disgrace to the glorious name of Duke Sheng."

When Mrs. Chang heard this, she could not help but feel sad even though she had expected it.

The old Duke Sheng raised his head and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "I have lived for more than eighty years, and there are many people who have been worthy of me and sorry for me in this life. I think I am the most devoted to you, but now that I think about it, you may also have some grievances." As you said...after I leave, you can move in with the fourth child.

A while ago, I bought the Sijin house next door to him. I had already ordered people to repair and take care of it. The fourth man knew about this. The moon door was already opened in the wall between the two houses, which was also convenient for the couple. I will take my children and grandchildren to spend time with you in the morning and evening.

Ah Chang, although this Duke's mansion is luxurious, it is not as quiet and peaceful as there. Don't be unwilling to do so.

The fourth child and his wife Chen are both good people. Although they are a little petty, they are open-minded and transparent. If you live there with the things I left for you, you will be able to be your old lady in peace. "

These earnest instructions made Mrs. Chang burst into tears.

Old Duke Sheng looked at her reluctantly, sighed slightly after a while, and warned: "From now on... don't meddle in the affairs of your children and grandchildren anymore."

"I don't care! I don't care anymore!" Madam Chang raised her head with tears in her eyes and shook her head vigorously.

She looked at the old face of Old Master Sheng, and the same old self in Old Master Sheng's eyes. In a trance, it seemed that time was reversed, and the handsome and elegant young man in front of her was there.

"Don't be sad..." Before Mr. Sheng Guo finished speaking, he heard the butler hurriedly come to report that Mrs. Liang had come to the main hall in person.

Old Duke Sheng sighed, patted Mrs. Chang's hand, stood up slowly, and walked out without looking back.

"Return far away!"

Mrs. Chang let out a cry of sadness, but she saw that Mr. Sheng just paused his feet slightly, and then walked out without hesitation.

……

"Old Duke!" As soon as Mrs. Liang saw the old Duke Sheng, she stood up immediately, walked over anxiously, and chased him and said, "Do you remember that you are already in the year of Zang Dynasty?! Although you look strong, , but didn’t you scare everyone a few years ago?! Now that you have only regained your strength, how can you bear hardships and lead the army in battle?!"

She is nearly 20 years younger than the old Duke Sheng, and she usually pays attention to self-care. Although she looks older because she is always angry with the Chang family, she has a very good body and bones, so she speaks with confidence: "I want to I said, the Duke's Mansion has been far away from the military power for a long time, why bother to contact it again? Even if the Duke's Mansion insists on recruiting people, there is no need to withdraw the Duke. If you ask me, anything caused by the girl from the second family should be punished. He goes to atone for his sins!”

Old Duke Sheng listened calmly to Liang's chatter, without any hint of his usual impatience. "Ms. Liang, I have a five-door house with a garden here. The house deed will be sent to you later. After I leave the capital, you can move in with Lao Wu and his family! I am giving it to the Holy Father. The memorial has told you to live with your youngest son until you grow old... You don’t have to worry about others laughing at you, this is my arrangement, others are laughing at you, and they are also laughing at me, the Duke of Sheng, and it will not affect your and Lao Wu’s future lives."

"Old Duke?!" Madam Liang was shocked, "Have you finally made up your mind to drive away our mother and son?!"

Faced with the question, Old Duke Sheng ignored him and said to himself: "I know your dowry is so rich that even the sixth generation of the fifth family can't use it all... But I still leave you some property, maybe as compensation. , whether it is to commemorate it or not, you have never felt comfortable for a day in your life, so live a good life in the years to come!"

"You!" Mrs. Liang felt her throat sore and numb, and in the end it just turned into a whimper, "Decades have passed, why do you have to say these things again!"

Seeing her eyes turn red, Old Duke Sheng turned away and sighed softly: "That's it!"

……

"Old man, you, you are going crazy!" Sheng Xiangxun did not expect that between his father and the emperor, one would dare to go to war, and the other would really agree!

The ministers dare not criticize the emperor, but the son can make trouble with his father.

"Do you still remember how old you are, Le?!" Sheng Xiangxun turned around angrily, "You still want to lead the army to the border town? Are you going to regain lost territory, or are you going to deliver achievements to others?"

Old Duke Sheng didn't like hearing what he said, so he glanced at him and said, "Old man, I am determined to reach a thousand miles! Although I am old, I can still make a living!"

"If you can eat it, just eat it slowly at home! Don't always think about wandering outside!"

Sheng Xiangxun wished that his father would immediately change his tune, and his tone could not help but be a little more cunning: "Can you not be so naughty all the time?! Can't you just live your whole life in the Duke's Mansion?"

"I want you to talk too much!" Old Duke Sheng scolded him angrily, "Go back to your Yongxing Marquis Mansion! Remember, you and your eldest brother have separated a long time ago. Matters in Sheng Guo Gong's Mansion must not involve Yongxing Marquis. Mansion!"

"It's not impossible to let me go, but before you leave, you have to promise one thing. If you insist on leaving the capital, you have to take me with you!" Sheng Xiangxun said and sat down next to the old Duke Sheng, actively fighting for it. , "As the saying goes, brothers fight, father and son go into battle. If you have to go, take me with you! I'll be your vanguard, okay?!"

"Go away! I'm crazy to take you there! You, a thing who has never been in the barracks for a day, are now just a soldier on the logistics and cooking staff. You, I, I have to think too hard to take you with me!" Old Duke Sheng snorted coldly, "I'm tired of taking your eldest brother alone!"

When Sheng Xiangxun heard this, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Shu is also a husband in his thirties and has three children. He has been taught by you personally since he was a child. I think he can take on the responsibility of the country." From the government."

"Get out!" Old Master Sheng didn't like hearing his nonsense, so he simply drove them away again.

This time Sheng Xiangxun didn't rely on it.

But as soon as he took a few steps, Old Master Sheng stopped him: "Go back and clear out a warehouse. I have something for you."

The smile on Sheng Xiangxun's face froze, and he shook his head unnaturally: "I, I don't want it!"

"Hmph! There are only one or two boxes for you. The rest are the dowry for my sister Yuan. You have no right to give them away!"
