Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 245 Yearning
The Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the Yongning Marquis' Mansion were both happy that the two had passed the martial arts examination, and wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate.

The Duke of Rongguo and his wife, Mrs. Liu, discuss the follow-up of their youngest son's examination of the martial arts championship.

"It's a happy event that Brother Zhu won the top prize in martial arts, but it's better for us to keep a low profile. Let's just set up two tables with our family to celebrate."

When Duke Rong Guo saw the Duke's wife, Mrs. Liu, she couldn't help but murmured that she wanted to hold a banquet for Tang Wenzhu, and invited everyone in Kyoto to celebrate and put forward their own opinions.

The excited Mrs. Liu calmed down after hearing Duke Rong's words and acquiesced to Duke Rong's proposal.

Their Duke's palace is now in the limelight, so they might be jealous of the Holy Emperor, so it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

"I have someone deliver a message to my daughter and nieces, and my family will have a reunion dinner to celebrate."

As soon as the eldest son went to the border, he was directly appointed as a guard. Soon the eldest daughter-in-law would take the children to the border to reunite with the eldest son.

They have a high and powerful position in the Rongguo government, but they also have a lot of control over them.

"It's up to you, madam."

Duke Rong Guo stepped forward when the Ling Kingdom needed it, and after the battle was over, he was able to relinquish military power with ease. This was his brilliance.

Although Tang Wensong was appointed as a border garrison general, he had never led tens of thousands of soldiers to kill the enemy. Naturally, he could not compare with the prestige of his father Rong Guogong.

However, the Holy Emperor trusted Duke Rongguo's government and promoted his eldest son Tang Wensong after Duke Rongguo's return, which was regarded as a disguised form of handing over part of the general power to the government.

When the matter of appointing a crown prince was at the forefront, their government had always been neutral, and now they had to act even more cautiously.

Mrs. Shao, the wife of Songheyuan of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, has long been idle because of her old age. Her fourth grandson's success in taking the martial arts exam really brought glory to the Duke of Rong's palace. She was so happy that she wanted to offer incense to the old Duke to tell her about it.

The two grandsons of the first house were both candidates for military examinations and inherited the mantle of military generals in the government. The grandson of the second house took the imperial examination and won the first prize. Only the father and son of the third house did not seek advancement.

Parents love their children, and the wife is no exception. Although Mr. Tang San is incompetent, he has been the most considerate and filial to her among the three brothers over the years.

Their Rongguo Duke's family is prominent enough, and most of their descendants are outstanding. The only flaw is that the third family has little future.

However, Mrs. Tai has thought over the past decades that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The three heirs in the house have different ambitions, but they have not caused trouble and disgraced the family.

The madam ordered the maids beside her, "Invite the Duke's wife and the third lady to come to me."

The wife's body and bones are not as good as before, and she will fall ill from time to time. She has to wait until she has finished her grandson's wife's tea before she can see the old prince.

When Mrs. Liu and Xiao Shao's sister-in-law arrived at Songheyuan, Mrs. Tai and others closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Madam Tai often does this recently. She falls asleep when she is free, but wakes up soon.

After seeing it, the imperial doctor said that he was getting tired easily because of his age, and told him to take good care of himself and avoid being overjoyed or sad.

The two of them looked at each other and sat waiting silently. The wife often didn't sleep for long.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour the madam opened her eyes and said, "You are here."

"Mother" The two stood up and saluted. Mrs. Tai moved her stiff legs and changed her posture, and said directly: "My dear, Brother Zhu has won the first prize in martial arts, Guangzong Yaozu, so we should celebrate it well."

Mrs. Guo Gong said respectfully: "That's what mother said. What Guo Gong meant is that our family will set up two tables to celebrate."

The madam thought for a while and nodded. The big tree attracting the wind should really keep a low profile. "How is Brother Hong doing lately?" Mrs. Tai looked at Xiao Shao.

As Mrs. Tai gets older, her living hours begin to become irregular, and her children and grandchildren may not be able to see her when they come to pay their respects.

Xiao Shao laughed and said, "I don't dare to hide it from my mother. Hong'er recently accompanied Third Master to inspect the store and did a great job. I think he is very interested in managing the industry."

Little Shao didn't have high requirements for her husband, and her son wouldn't be too strict. Little Shao firmly believed that Mr. Tang San would teach his son well.

"Whether it's the imperial examination, the military examination, or managing the industry, you have to rely on your ability to make a living, which is good."

Mr. Tang Sanye had a lot of expectations for his son Tang Wenhong.

In the future, their third wife will pass on the hidden guard. When the wife passes away, the Duke of Rongguo will inevitably separate the family and leave the house.

Sanfang will be dead when he leaves the Duke's Mansion, and it will be very difficult to deal with the rich and powerful's children in the future.

Therefore, Tang Wenhong has to take a different path from Master Tang San.

As for which official career path Tang Wenhong chooses, it depends on Tang Sanye's evaluation after additional training.

Fortunately, Tang Wenhong is smart. He was able to muddle along before being overshadowed by his brother. Now that Mr. Tang San has started to train him personally, the results will definitely be remarkable.

The madam looked at her two daughters-in-law and said warmly: "When I get older, I want to see my grandson marry and have children. You should hurry up and choose someone."

"Mother!"

The madam seemed to be announcing her funeral arrangements, and the two of them became worried at the same time.

The madam waved her hand, "Don't be nervous. I am an old man and I know that I still have a few years to live. Naturally, I will be happy to see Brother Zhu and Brother Hong get married and have children."

"It takes at least half a year to go through the entire process from meeting, to engagement, to marriage. Naturally, I look forward to my grandchildren getting married and starting a family as soon as possible."

"Our family has a prominent family. We don't need to put too much emphasis on our granddaughter-in-law's family background. We should focus on her character. The most important thing is that the family can be united at critical times."

The madam warned the two of them one by one, not because she was worried that they would not be able to accomplish the task, but because she wanted to do her best for her two little grandsons.

Xiao Shao smiled and said while Mrs. Tai stopped to drink tea: "Mother doesn't know that the third master has arranged a marriage for Hong'er. My daughter-in-law has already met the girl, and she is a perfect match for our Hong'er."

Wu Yetong took Wu Xinlan to an appointment at the flower viewing banquet at Duke Rong's Mansion. During the dinner, Xiao Shao couldn't take care of them and didn't have the same enthusiasm as when they first met. The Wu sisters didn't show any resentment and behaved very appropriately.

The way Wu Yetong interacts with Xiao Shao is completely different from that in the Wu family. Xiao Shao realizes Wu Yetong's intelligence and agility even more.

Later, Xiao Xiao invited Wu Yetong to go out several times. After getting along with her, he roughly understood her true temperament and was happy to see the marriage come to fruition.

Mr. Tang Sanye told Xiao Shao some things, and Wu Yetong was naturally an insider because of his biological father. The marriage between Tang Wenhong and Wu Yetong was bound to be more suitable than that of an official lady who did not know her background.

The madam was overjoyed, "Really? If that's the case, then choose a good day to settle down the marriage, so as to avoid being caught first by others."

"Brother Zhu is still an elder brother. We will get engaged later than Brother Hong, but we can't get married later." Madam Tai turned to Mrs. Liu and warned.

"What the mother said was that the daughter-in-law would choose the person as soon as possible."

The madam sent her daughters-in-law away, thinking that she would soon be able to drink tea served by her future granddaughter-in-law, with a look of longing and yearning on her face.
