This is the first time Mingzhu has seen her second uncle, who has a good face, red lips and white teeth, was born two heads earlier than her father, but looks several years younger.

The second aunt and grandmother Mingzhu have seen it, and they have no shelves. On weekdays, she always smiles when she sees people, unlike the laughter of the Song family and the Ruan family, she really has no frame and is easy to get along with.

"Daddy." Sheng Chen hung his head and shrunk to greet Sheng Guogong.

I was still poked by the second aunt and grandmother next to me before I dared to go up. Sheng Guogong glanced at him, and like a quail, he shrank back behind his second aunt and grandmother. The old lady Song glanced at it, as if she had seen something dirty, she didn't bother to take care of the two, and quickly entered the house.

"This is a pearl, this is a spirit pearl, right?" Sheng Guogong looked at the two with a smile.

Yun Niang let go of the hand holding the spirit bead.

Sheng Mingzhu took her sister to meet the old man, "Hello grandfather." ”

Sheng Guogong looked at his two granddaughters with a smile, "What do you like to do on weekdays?" Tell your grandfather about it. ”

Maybe it's the nature of the bloodline, maybe it's the kindness in front of him, Lingzhu likes this grandfather very much, and said, "I usually like to read the most." In the future, she will be the top female champion. ”

"What a big ambition, female champion. Lingzhu likes to read? What have you read? ”

"[Four Books] [Analects] [Historical Records] [Left Turn] [Lü's Spring and Autumn]", there are many more, but Lingzhu always remembered what the master said to be humble. The villain stood there shyly, waiting to touch his head and praise him.

Sheng Guogong was stunned for a moment, just read the [Four Books] [Analects], and the books next to him were very deep. Looking at the little guy's proud appearance again, he touched her head, "Then grandpa tested you, what have you seen and what do you like?" ”

Lingzhu's face blushed slightly, "I haven't finished reading [Historical Records], I only saw the biography of the Huns. ”

It's like a person who loves martial arts when he lifts a knife and gun, Lingzhu likes these, and his eyes are a little brighter than usual, "The prosperity of the country is in the martial arts." It's like the brave and warlike Huns, the decline of the country is under control, the Huns are brave, but there are few courteous and virtuous corporals, and the virtuous king who can settle the car and the Pulun is there. ”

Sheng Guogong's eyes lit up, and he asked her to continue.

Sheng Lingzhu said everything according to his own thoughts. The surroundings were quiet for a while, and the smile on Sheng Guogong's face became bigger and bigger, seeing that he was extremely happy with this granddaughter, and the second aunt and grandmother next to him pushed her son.

"Let you study to please your father, and you have a good exam, but you are making trouble learning the Tao again, and you have not learned a flower, you are not as good as your niece!" She whispered to her son. Sheng Chen has been read by her for many years, and she still shrank and didn't say anything, but the old man heard it, "If you have something to do, you can go down and get busy, and the whole family will greet me as soon as I come back." ”

Seeing that the old man wanted to be with his two granddaughters, the second aunt and grandmother quickly left with their son.

Lingzhu kept talking, and when she finished speaking, Sheng Guogong said a few good words, half relieved, and looked at Sheng Qian again, "It's been so long." I have been with the emperor all these days, and I can't take care of my family. What do you think, I think Lingzhu is a good seedling, have you been enrolled? ”

Sheng Qian said, "I came back late, and the various colleges have already opened. ”

Sheng Guogong touched his long beard, only thoughtfully.

looked at Sheng Mingzhu again, "When the time comes, it will be a little similar to your eyes when you were young." What do you like on weekdays? Do you also study, what do you read? "It's two sisters, and I think it's almost far away.

"I like-" If you say that you like the Four Books and Five Classics, you will lose your hair when you take the exam, Sheng Mingzhu's face is slightly red.

Lingzhu said, "I know. My sister loves to take self-portraits in the mirror, and my sister will be the richest woman in Dawei in the future. After speaking, she looked at her sister beautifully, "Look, I still remember your ideals, sister." ”

The audience was silent, and Sheng Mingzhu had already rubbed the spirit bead into a ball in his heart.

Sheng Guogong's face was still slightly serious, and he smiled again, but he didn't know what to laugh at, so he brought the two little girls to his side and said to Sheng Qianqian, "You have been to the state for more than ten years, and you have given me two treasures when you come back." Looking at Mingzhu with a smile, "Grandpa came back late today, and when the warehouse is opened tomorrow, I will pick out what you like for the two of you." ”

Yun Niang had a headache as early as when Lingzhu said that she liked rich and noble people. This copper smell is afraid of annoying the old man, but also because the old lady Song is afraid. But in this world, there is no grandfather who doesn't like his granddaughter, and they all say that they are next generation.

The three of them talked for a while, and Sheng Guogong spoke, asking Yun Niang to go down with the two children first.

After a long absence, father and son always have something to say.

——

"Daddy."

After moving to the study, the smile on Sheng Guogong's face disappeared.

looked at his son below, "It's been a month since you came back, why haven't you reported yet?" ”

Sheng Qian said truthfully. Sheng Guogong's face was ugly, firstly because of the situation in the imperial court, and secondly, because of his old wife, if the old lady Song was willing to stretch out his hand and there was the shadow of the Sheng family, how could the officials dare to be so embarrassed.

"They're afraid of what I have." Sheng Qian said suddenly.

The old man has been an official for many years, but he is an innocent man, and he rarely participates in the affairs of the party, and looks at Sheng Qian puzzled.

"I have in my hand the books of the acres of land and the state. Dad also knew the current situation of the Great Wei, and the bureaucrats at all levels had a single account, and the upper levels of the state were one level at a time, and the silver taels received by the superiors were all in it every year. "The state is inconspicuous, but the profits it can bring are innumerable, and Sheng Qian, who is in charge of the state, has this Sheng word on his head, and everyone dares not touch him.

It can also be said that he is the only official who has remained in one place all these years.

Sheng Guogong frowned fiercely, he was an official and a common man. The reason why Wei was against Zhou back then was to hope that the people could settle down, but now the Great Wei is not a hundred years, less than 50 years, there are signs of repeating the mistakes of Zhou.

The family is on the verge of being established, and strange things are frequent, and even he is the cause of this chaos.

"I'm going to go to the emperor in a while, you come with me."

Sheng Qian lowered his head. He remembered what his daughter told him again, and hesitated to tell Sheng Guogong whether to know who would be the emperor and who would be the marquis of Dingguo in the future, so as to plan the next step.

"How?" Sheng Guogong frowned slightly, "Like a girl, I forgot how I taught you in the past?" “

Sheng Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, but dispelled the thought in his heart.

Sheng Guogong is not a stupid person who only knows how to fight in the world, he has a tiger in his heart, and he is the one who sniffs the rose. But such a person is also very stupid and loyal - no, it can't be regarded as foolish loyalty, the soldier dies for his confidant, and the current emperor is his confidant.

"Lingzhu's enrollment, when I go back and tell Song Ge Lao, there should be a way." Sheng Guo was fair, and thought of another granddaughter, "There is also Mingzhu, which must also go." It's nothing for my daughter's family to love to dress up, and it's always good to read more books. With just one glance, he could tell what kind of tone his granddaughter was.

Sheng Qian said, "I also discussed it with Yun Niang. But she was not very happy in her heart. ”

I remembered the other day, "I was like a bastard." Some time ago, I got a doorman who knew martial arts, and I was noisily learning whips all day long, and now I have a lot of strength, and no daughter has the same family as her. ”

"What's wrong with my daughter's family?" Sheng Guogong's beard moved, and he looked at Sheng Qian dissatisfied, "I see that you are stupid to read, literati know a hammer, and a comfortable country is snatched on horseback, killed by swords and guns." ”

Sheng Qian was trained by his father, and he was like a quiet egg. Secretly thinking again, the muddy nature of the girl is probably passed down from this root.

The old man only heard the people outside muttering that the Ruan family had framed Sanfang, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked Sheng Qian the reason, and he answered truthfully, and only said, "I'm in the house these days." Yun Niang has never complained to me, but Mingzhu is still young, if such a thing as stealing is carried to her, how can she see people in the future? "Especially his mother, who also wants to exonerate the Ruan family.

Sheng Guogong's voice sank, "The affairs of the inner house, you and I are both men, and it is not easy to manage." ”

He turned his head to look at Sheng Qian again, "Let's wait for a while, wait for you to report on your work, if you don't want to live in the mansion, go out alone." "What kind of character Sheng Guogong of the Ruan family is, the eldest son lingers in the flowers, and he doesn't want to see these two couples.

Sheng Qian wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to divide himself.

"I said I don't want my mother-in-law."

"Parents are here, no family."

Sheng Guogong glanced at his son, "Your father and I used to be just a barefoot peasant, no matter what. He patted his son on the shoulder again, "Living by yourself, you know that warmth and coldness are the most important, and rules are secondary." "Besides, even if the family is separated, isn't he still his son?

——

That night, Sheng Guogong took his son to the royal mountain to face the saint.

The Sheng family didn't know yet.

The next morning, Nguyen's eyes were red, and she had been reprimanded by the old lady the previous night. I thought I could hide it from the world, but I didn't expect the old lady to know when she saw Mother Li - and hated the old lady for not giving her face.

But she completely forgot that if it weren't for Mrs. Song's pressure, she would not only have face, but also no inside.

Sheng Mao suddenly came in from outside, full of wine. Ruan Shi was in a bad mood, so he turned his head and ignored him, but he didn't expect Sheng Mao to come straight at her, and a slap was thrown, and she was stunned, "What are you doing!" ”

Sheng Mao pointed at her, "You are a bad woman, you have ruined all the faces of your grandfathers!" ”

"Sheng Mao! What have I done to marry you! I'm heartbroken for this family, you are under the crotch of a woman's pants every day, and you will beat me as soon as you come back today? ”

"Whew! I think you're the money basket! Sheng Mao snorted, "As soon as I returned home, I saw my subordinates muttering there, sure enough, you were there to be a demon?" What do you want, you want to drive the third brother and sister out and take her dowry by yourself, Lao Tzu told you earlier, money is hot, and you are a stupid woman who doesn't listen! ”

"Do what you want! Now that I have lost my face, I am ashamed of the harm I still suffered! ”

The more Sheng Mao spoke, the more angry he became, Ruan didn't think of anything at first, "What am I for, if I didn't take care of the family, would you still want to spend all day drinking?" ”

"Go back to your Ruan's house, something that sees money!" Sheng Mao was still scolding, and Ruan glared at him angrily.

Sheng Mao slapped it again, just symmetrical.

After all, he is a man, Ruan Shi covered his face and felt hot and painful, Cuizhu saw that this was not good, and was busy mediating between the two. Sure enough, Ruan's tore up, Sheng Mao was drunk, and she was not as agile as her, but after all, the man had a lot of strength, and he came and went.
