The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 996 Very good acting skills

Old Duke An was questioning Anyu in a deep voice, but in fact his eyes were squinting at Shengyuan.

Sheng Yuan thought that in the eyes of Lao An Guogong, she was probably the kind of troublemaker who specifically instigated his grandson.

However, she had no intention of getting too close to Duke An Guo, and she didn't want to get along warmly with this family. Now that she had just gotten married, it was better to draw a bottom line directly than to have the other party confidently follow her with the respect of their elders. Pu'er is pointing fingers, so there is no need to be angry at being wronged.

Well, in a sense, those officials were right. She was indeed not a good person in the traditional sense.

Due to the dissatisfaction of Old An Guogong, Lao An Guogong's wife slapped the table, and the bustling hall immediately became quiet. The female family members who were joking and laughing stopped their smiles for a second; the children in the corner who were noisy and arguing just now were all at this moment. He stayed close to the adults and didn't dare to make a sound.

Today is the day when Sheng Yuan and Anyu come to the Anguo Palace to recognize their relatives after their marriage. Therefore, the two uncles from the Anhou Palace are also invited with their families. They thought it was a process of "changing their words → giving red envelopes". I'm so happy. It was a lively celebration, but I didn’t expect that the atmosphere had become so awkward before it even started.

Immediately, An Hou and his younger brother An Siye looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They had heard before that Brother Yu's daughter-in-law was a famous thorn in the court. Now, it turned out that she only had the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

The two brothers intended to say something to improve the atmosphere, but when they looked up, the second brother opposite, the current Duke An Guo, was fiddling with his thumb as if nothing was wrong!

Well! The real master doesn't take it seriously, so why should they worry about the eunuchs being anxious when the emperor is not?

Immediately, the two brothers lost their minds to reconcile.

A lot has been said at the moment, but it only took a moment for Yu Lao Anguo to speak publicly.

Before Anyu could talk back, Shengyuan raised a bright smile, showed her small white teeth, and said kindly: "Old Duke, I was joking. If it's what Brother Yu and I have in mind, then we will definitely bring the matter to our house." All the debts are forgiven! As the saying goes, wealth should not flow to outsiders. If it makes the elders happy, it is worth it.

It's a pity that the court and the law won't let it go! As the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I am said to be a gatekeeper for the treasury. The passing treasures are like running water, but in fact not a single coin falls into my hands. "

Although she often directly criticizes her when she doesn't agree with something, she still has her acting skills to a certain extent, and when she expresses innocence, she can really make people laugh.

No, not only the people of Anhou Mansion, but also the family members of Anguo Mansion also wanted to laugh after hearing Sheng Yuan's strange words.

Old An Guogong looked at the scoundrel girl in front of him and felt the familiar smell of the familiar formula. He held down the hand of his old wife who was about to get angry and said with a sneer: "Sister Yuan, although you are responsible for asking for money, but now It is not the day to pay off debts, nor is it the time to settle old scores; it would be inappropriate to mention this on the great day when you and Brother Yu come to recognize your relatives. "

"Hey, you are always right, but who made it a natural thing for me to get used to it! My father often said that I am a serious person, and people who know the inside story will naturally know that I do my duty; but people who are not familiar with me, but If you don’t misunderstand me as an official fan, you have to mention your position if you have nothing to do.”

"Sister Yuan, don't blame yourself. Others don't know it. Our elders still know it well! What's more, you were originally a third-grade servant. Thinking about your job, which is called observing your duty, who else? Can I have the nerve to argue with you?" Brother Yu held Sheng Yuan's hand sincerely and comforted her warmly.

Sheng Yuan also held his hand back with an moved expression: "Brother Yu, you are such a good person."

Then, ignoring the family members who made them sore, they looked at Old Duke An with tears in their eyes: "Old Duke, please don't blame me for being negligent in etiquette!"

Old An Guogong made the two of them sing and sing together, which made the veins in his forehead jump. Just when he was about to speak, his great grandson stole the words.

But what An Yu looked at was Mrs. An Guogong, who was about to explode: "Sister Yuan, your shortcoming is that you are too humble. Who else obeys etiquette better than you? I remember that Empress Dowager Xiaohewen and the late Emperor gave you You have the privilege of not having to pay a courtesy, but who do you meet and don’t greet them in a polite manner? Let me tell you, you are the one who knows the most etiquette!” What happened at that time was reminded by this grandson. Suddenly, all the anger that was originally as round as a puffer fish was deflated, and a well-maintained face turned blue and purple, purple and blue, and looked wonderful.

Duke Lao An also felt discouraged. He glared at the two impressed people angrily and called in a low voice to the maid to remove the futon.

Sure enough, without the futon, the subsequent process of serving tea and receiving red envelopes went very smoothly and normally.

Because Sheng Yuan had an official status, the whole family sat together to talk, regardless of gender. The uncles An Guogong, An Hou, and Fourth Grandpa An rushed up to talk to her.

Others may not have thought anything of it, but the man in charge of Lao Anguo's mansion looked particularly angrily.

Especially when she saw her son An Guogong and daughter-in-law Yuan Shi joking with Sheng Yuan without any grudges, she was even more angry.

These two do not live up to expectations! Could it be that they forgot that their son was sent to the southwest by Sheng Yuan to farm? !

"Sister Yuan." Mrs. An Guogong, who had endured it for a long time, finally spoke.

"Ah?!" Sheng Yuan raised her head from chatting, blinked, and looked over in confusion, "Old lady, are you calling me?"

"It's nothing else. Today is a gathering of our family and close relatives, so naturally there is no restraint. It's just that when we go outside in the future, we don't want to call my husband by his first name."

After Mrs. Lao Anguo said this, she specially praised herself in her heart. After all, she was able to hold back her dissatisfaction and strike in a soft voice, which was already an extraordinary skill.

But who would have thought, Sheng Yuan didn't appreciate it. She blinked and thought for a while, then asked back with a puzzled face: "But isn't this name just for people to call? If I don't call you brother Yu, what's your name?" Doesn’t he have another code name?”

Saying this, she put on a humble expression and asked for advice: "Old lady, don't be surprised. It's just that I have been shouting "Brother Yu, come to Brother Yu, come to Brother Yu" since I was a child, and the elders have never corrected me. Second, I am a little ignorant, please teach me step by step."

"..." Madam Lao An Guogong stroked her chest, pointed at Sheng Yuan who looked serious, and wanted to scold her angrily, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped talking.

"It's not wrong for Sister Yuan to call me Brother Yu!" But Anyu spoke again at this time, "My aunt used to joke that we would call me 'Sister Yuan and Brother Yu' until we grow old! At that time, my uncle also said Clap your hands and cheer, why can’t you shout now?”

At this point, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked and said, "If my aunt and uncle are still here, we can ask them what to do?!"

Seeing that his grandson was about to cry in the blink of an eye, Duke Lao An almost fell down in anger. These two were truly a match made in heaven. They were both shameless masters!

Although the anger is rising, these two people are trying to pull the flag. With the endorsement of the late emperor, the late empress dowager, and the late emperor’s noble concubine, who can forcefully resist? I can only swallow my anger.

"I think it's almost time. You go to Anhou's Mansion to pay homage to Madam Lao Hou first, and then come back for a banquet." Lao An Guogong pressed his forehead and sent these two disgusting masters away to An. Go to the Marquis Mansion to meet his other wife, Mrs. He.

Although we have to meet again later, it’s best to let him take his time now!
