Sheng Hong expected that the branch of the Sheng family's big house in Youyang's hometown would come.

But he didn't expect so many people to come.

When Rulan and Minglan walked in, they saw a room full of people in the hall, and they were all a little worried.

"Come, come and meet the elders."

Seeing that the two daughters were a little stunned, Sheng Hong spoke.

"Great grandmother Jin'an."

"Uncle Jin'an."

「.....」

"Sister Shulan."

"Sister Pinlan."

Sheng Hong introduced them one by one, and Minglan and Rulan saluted in order.

When introducing the two people on the side, a trace of disdain and displeasure flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "This is your sister's sister-in-law's husband's family, and this one next to her is your brother-in-law's mother."

"Good brother-in-law, good in-law."

After Rulan and Minglan finished saluting, Sheng Hong pretended to praise and said, "Your brother-in-law is amazing, he won Xiucai at the age of twelve, and he was a famous young prodigy in Youyang back then."

The fat-headed and big-faced Sun Xiucai smiled very happily, don't look at Sheng Hong's inconspicuousness in Tokyo, just a five-grade petty official, but in Sun Xiucai's eyes, Sheng Hong is a proper big man.

If he hadn't known that there was such a prominent character in the second room of the Sheng family, would he be able to look down on the kind of businessman in the big house of the Sheng family?

It's so beautiful to be praised by someone like that.

The grandmother, who was very restrained from the moment she entered the door, also smiled proudly, smiling like an old chrysanthemum.

Rulan and Minglan both looked at each other in surprise, although their expressions were well controlled, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Looking at this face, this brother-in-law is probably in his early forties, right?

If he was a young man who was precocious and fell into Xiucai at the age of twelve, then why is he still just a white body?

Have you read all the books in the dog's stomach for more than 20 years?

Sun Xiucai, who is not yet 30 years old: .......

"Uncle praise...." Sun Xiucai got up and thanked him, but was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"Niece and son-in-law, you won Xiucai at the age of twelve, you were born a good seedling to read, the future pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you don't want to be too humble."

Sheng Hong said enthusiastically: "Since you won the show, more than ten have passed. You have been studying hard for more than ten years, working hard with your pen, burning the sundial, and with the talents and talents of your niece and son-in-law, the resources accumulated over the years are enough. I don't know when I'm going to end?"

Without giving Sun Xiucai a chance to answer, Sheng Hong continued: "My family is stupid, the eldest child has been studying for so many years before he is in middle school, and the younger child still doesn't know how many more years he will have to stay up to get ahead.

I am looking forward to it day and night, and I hope that you will be able to stop hiding as soon as possible, show your edge, and soar into the sky. With a brother-in-law like you as an example, they can really understand that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, and they don't want to be the frog at the bottom of the well who sits in the well and watches the sky!"

The smile on Sun Xiucai's face disappeared, replaced by beads of sweat the size of beans, and his face was pale.

Sheng Hong's words made him really uncomfortable.

It sounded like he was praising him, but how could he think that Sheng Hong's words scolding his son were meant for him.

Sheng Changbai is already a jinshi, and he is a great official of Hanlin appointed by His Majesty, how can he be compared to a show who has not even been admitted to the examination several times.

Even Sheng Changfeng, who didn't know how many more years he had to boil, was at least a lifter and had the qualifications to end up in the spring.

How can he, Sun Xiucai, be able to set an example for these two?

I'm afraid it's not a negative example.

He wished there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.

Sun Xiucai looked at the people in the Sheng family's big house, expecting someone to come forward to help him out of the siege.

He really didn't know how to respond.

But no one in the Sheng family's big house looked at him, only one Pinlan peeked over, and when he found out, he immediately turned his head away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Just as he was about to bite the bullet in answer

When something more desperate happened.

talked!

"Master Sheng is really good-looking, and he can see at a glance that my son is the prime minister's root seedling. My son told me that he was already ready and would be leaving the exam room in the near future. In the future, when my son enters the court as an official, I will ask Lord Sheng to take care of him more." The grandmother regarded Sheng Hong's words as a compliment, and said happily.

At this moment, the restraint and tension that just entered the Sheng family have slowly disappeared, although the lord of the second room of the Sheng family is an official, but he also favors her son when he looks at it, and he speaks politely everywhere.

So what else is there for her to be nervous about?

Her son will be the marquis in the future, and he will be a first-class member at that time, and the Sheng family will still count on her son to carry him at that time!

Hmph, that is, for the sake of her in-laws, she was willing to open her mouth and let the Sheng family help a little.

The Prime Minister's favor, but it's so good?

Sheng Hong was a little suspicious of his ears, did he hear it wrong just now?

He actually heard the pride in his grandmother's words, and some charity?

Sheng Hong looked at his brother with questions.

Brother Sheng Hong gave him a helpless look back.

Sheng Hong laughed angrily, there are such in-laws who don't know the height of the sky, you can imagine how many times the Sheng family's big house has suffered.

No wonder the letter before meeting asked him to give Sun Xiucai a little color.

He just thought that Sun Xiucai, his niece and son-in-law, had made some small mistake and made his father-in-law angry.

So he still kept it.

But now it seems that he was too polite.

"That's good to say, we're all family. The niece and son-in-law are only eight buckets tall, there is a furrow in the chest, Changbai, such a great opportunity, why don't you ask your brother-in-law for advice? I remember the day before yesterday you said that you saw a question and didn't know how to solve it, but now the famous teacher is in front of you, why are you still stunned?" Sheng Hongle said happily.

Father spoke, and Sheng Changbai, who had been sitting obediently as a companion, stood up: "Yes, father."

After talking to Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai saluted Sun Xiucai and said, "Jin Wuping Wu was defeated by arbitrariness, and Fu Jian and Jin died with arbitrariness; Qi Huan is a full-time manager of the middle and hegemonic, and Yan Hui is a full-time son and loses, the same thing but the merit is different, why not?

I haven't been able to solve this problem for two days, so please teach my brother-in-law!"

After Sheng Changbai finished reading the question, the hall fell into silence.

The people who were originally whispering all closed their mouths and looked at Sun Xiucai in unison, waiting for his "witty words".

Sun Xiucai, who usually enjoys being the focus of attention, is in no mood at this time.

Racking my brains and searching for dry intestines, it's a pity that this question is it.. It's so hard!

After he tried to show his talents, he failed to pass the examination many times, so he had no choice but to marry a woman from a merchant family like the Sheng family.

Although he looked down on Shang Jia, he had to admit that this marriage was worth marrying, and Jin Shan Yinhai flowed from the Sheng family to the Sun family through this wife.

With this gold and silver, he lived a life of luxury that he had never experienced before.

Wine-colored wealth erodes people's bones, where does he still have the mind to read in the past few years, lingering in Fengyue places all day long, drinking and prostitutes with three or five friends, and living a happy life.

The most amazing thing is that his expenses are still recorded in the Sheng family's accounts, and he is stingy with every penny.

Now it's not difficult for him to recite a few Yin songs in public, and with this kind of policy topic, isn't this deliberately making things difficult for him!
