Chapter 4: The Grandfather's Expedition (Part I)

When he woke up the next day, Shang Mingyang felt the cold, and before he could call anyone, Mama Li and the maids walked in with the soup woman and hot clothes: "Big brother, you woke up, it snowed heavily last night, you quickly put on your clothes."

She nodded, "No wonder it's colder than the other day."

Shang Mingyang lives in Tengyun Pavilion in the East Courtyard, an independent small courtyard. There are not many people waiting, there is a housekeeper Mama Li, two big maids Fu Hong and Fu Green, two rough maids green willows and emerald green, one rough mother-in-law, and a small maid two happy.

Mama Li is one of the former big maids of the Wei family, she knows her situation, and she is also loyal to her and her mother, after all, if this kind of thing is revealed, none of their cronies can escape

Fuhong is a family child, the old lady is a second-in-command in the kitchen, and the father is the chief steward in front of his father

Fu Lu and Erxi were bought from Renyazi when they were children, and they were more honest and hardworking, so they stayed by her side.

The staff of this yard is simple, and it is guarded by Mama Li, no wonder her identity has not been broken for so many years

Shang Mingyang went to the east courtyard to ask his parents for peace after packing up, his father was not at home, and the business of the shop was not as good as before recently, so he went out early in the morning to discuss with the steward, and she went to the main courtyard with her mother and sisters to say goodbye to her grandfather and grandmother.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, the old lady sitting on the couch was wearing a royal blue silk jacket, and was smiling and talking to the two girls.

Shang Mingyang was helped up as soon as he bowed, and the person who pulled her was a woman in her thirties and forties, dressed plainly, with a haggard face and a slap face, and smiled at the old lady flatteringly: "Mother, Brother Yang'er looks much better than before" This person is the third aunt Chen, and the two girls on the side are her cousin The third aunt's sister-in-law Wen Ruochang looked at Wenwen's weak appearance, and Wen Ruoyu from the concubine was lively and pretty

The old lady looked at Chen's humble appearance and was slightly displeased: "Your sister-in-law is also tired when they come over, and the eldest brother is just right, don't keep pulling the eldest brother to stand"

Chen also looked a little embarrassed, and slowly walked to his position and sat down

After some salutes and comforts, the room was divided into seats, men and women were seven years old, not to mention that there was a cousin here, Shang Mingyang and his grandmother said goodbye, and then came to the front yard.

I happened to meet my grandfather who was taking the examination for the three younger brothers in the second room, and there was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a mean face sitting on the side who was drinking tea absentmindedly, and his head flashed, and he remembered that this was the third uncle, the second uncle was far away in the capital, and his father was also busy with the family's industry and mundane affairs, and it seemed that only the third uncle was the most idle

Old lady Shang smiled very kindly, as if she was very satisfied with Shang Mingchang's answer, and when she saw her come in, Shang Mingchang glanced at her, as if she was shouting to her, 'Look, grandfather praises me again', which is really childish and ridiculous

Shang Mingyang first said goodbye to his grandfather, and then slowly turned around to greet his third uncle

The third uncle said hello with a faint expression, and after getting up, he saluted Old Man Shang and said unhurriedly, "My son will go back first."

Old man Shang was a little disliked by his son's listless appearance, but he didn't say anything and let the third uncle go back, the younger generation always had to save some face for him here, and continued to smile and asked Shang Mingyang: "I heard Mr. Wu say that you talked about the University of the Four Books and the Mean, I just took the entrance examination to your second brother's university, and now that your brother is here, I will also take the test for you."

"Grandfather, please speak" Shang Mingyang lowered his head and made a deferential look, she happened to have read the four books and five classics
