Five days later.

The reward of the imperial court finally arrived in Chengfu.

Cao Chengcao, the great eunuch of the imperial city, often came to the palace with many rewards.

"Cheng Shi listened to the edict."

"Cheng Shi, the commander of the edict, I heard that the virtuous can rejuvenate the country, and the founding of the country should be sealed, Cheng Shi was loyal and filial, and repeatedly made military exploits, so he sealed the marquis of the Guan, picked the Quling, and ate five hundred households to show his merits."

Cheng Cheng Beginning Salute:

"Thanksgiving."

Xiao Yuanyi beside him and Cheng Shaoshang behind him bowed and thanked him.

Cao Cheng stepped forward with a friendly face:

"The Marquis of Quling is gratifying, please get up."

Cheng Shi got up and took the edict:

"I'm tired of serving."

Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads sideways and saw Cheng Shaoshang tilting his body, stretching out his little head curiously, wanting to see what the edict in his father's hand looked like.

When she saw Cao Cheng looking over, she couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Yuanyi, who was on the side, had no choice but to stretch out a slender finger expressionlessly, asking her to stand up, don't lose her courtesy.

Cao Cheng said with a smile:

"Presumably this is Cheng Si Niangzi, who is really beautiful, beautiful and different."

"It just so happened that someone asked me to send a gift to Cheng Siniang to celebrate the family reunion."

He waved his hand, and a small eunuch came over with a long box made of rosewood in both hands.

The family of three glanced at each other for some reason, and Cheng Shaoshang asked first:

"Chang Shi, I don't know any nobles in the palace, how can anyone give me a gift?"

Cao Cheng's smile became more and more intense:

"The person who asked me to give the gift said that as long as Cheng Siniang saw this gift, he would know who he was?"

Cheng Shaoshang heard this, and he didn't know what politeness was, opened the wooden box, and found that it was actually a delicate and transparent, halo flowing jade flute, only to see that the flute was engraved with complex lines, seemingly casually smeared, but there was a mysterious charm.

She looked slightly stunned, and then showed a look of understanding.

Cheng Shaoshang held the jade flute, felt the touch like warm jade, looked behind the flute for a while, frowned and said to himself:

"Xu Xian didn't say that he was Cui Hou's cousin, how could he still ask someone in the palace to bring me a gift?"

Cao Cheng's expression remained unchanged:

"Xu Langjun, like General Ling of the current dynasty, has also been raised in the palace since he was a child, because he is about to leave the palace to open a mansion in recent days, so he asked me to give gifts."

Cheng Shaoshang's eyebrows stretched:

"I see, I said that it had been a few days, why didn't I see him come to me."

Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi on the field didn't expect Xu Xian to have such a background, and when they thought of Ling Budo's power in the court now, they didn't know that Xu Xian would definitely be a high-powered person in the future, and they couldn't help but gasp in their hearts.

Especially Xiao Yuanyi, after getting along in the past few days, she knows how disobedient and stubborn her daughter is.

first sued his uncle, then used a chimney to intimidate his eldest mother, and secretly sued his second uncle.

In her opinion, such a small character will be a loser, and a big one will implicate the whole family, and sooner or later, she will do a great disaster that will affect her family.

Therefore, now I only feel that it is urgent to discipline Cheng Shaoshang strictly.

This is also due to the fact that above the court, all the high-ranking and powerful people are full of all kinds of deceit, swords and swords, so when they think that their daughter has something to do with this kind of person, their hearts become more and more anxious.

So, after seeing Cao Cheng away and dealing with Mrs. Cheng, Xiao Yuanyi took Cheng Shi to the study specially sorted out for Cheng Shaoshang.

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw their daughter playing with the previous jade flute at the desk.

Xiao Yuanyi's thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly:

"The study is for you to read, not for your playthings."

Cheng Shaoshang hurriedly put the jade flute aside, picked up the book on the table, and made a precarious appearance.

"Okay, it's for you to read, not for you to read for us."

Cheng Shaoshang whispered:

"I'm not illiterate, so why read so many useless books."

Xiao Yuanyi said angrily:

"Then you don't like to read, what do you want to do?"

Cheng Shaoshang raised his eyes:

"I want to know why buildings can be built so high, why cars can travel so far, why crops can be grown in the fields, and I want to see what the world really looks like."

She changed her words and asked rhetorically:

"Father, Mother, do you know why I am literate? Obviously, the second uncle raised me in the direction of blindness. ”

Without waiting for them to answer, he continued:

"It was Xu Xian who knew these thoughts of mine, taught me to practice calligraphy, and then found me a lot of books about building buildings and cars, including not only "Examination of Work", but also "Heavenly Creation", which can be called a strange book."

When Cheng Shi heard this, he quickly asked:

"Is that the book that came down two years ago, on His Majesty's birthday?"

Cheng Shaoshang nodded his little head:

"That's right, the reason why everyone's lives have changed dramatically in the past two years is because of this book "Heavenly Creations".

Cheng Shi smiled:

"My son is really a good chance, I heard that this strange book contains countless secret arts, only the craftsmen directly under the royal family and the important ministers who are deeply trusted by His Majesty know about it."

Xiao Yuanyi's face was also a little surprised, but he immediately gave Cheng Shi a look.

Suddenly, he coughed dryly:

"What's your relationship with Xu Xian?"

The corners of Cheng Shaoshang's mouth rose and said with a smile:

"Let's be a close friend."

Xiao Yuanyi couldn't help but say:

"Best friends? I'm afraid it's more than that, do you know what he said to his mother when he sent you home that day? ”

"Although he said on his face that you have a stubborn temperament and will be revenged, there is a sense of telling me not to be too harsh on you, let alone strictly discipline you."

Cheng Shaoshang's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he chuckled:

"It's like his hard-mouthed and soft-hearted nature."

Then he sighed faintly:

"It's a pity that my mother didn't listen to his words after all, and she wanted to cultivate me to be gentle and obedient."

Xiao Yuanyi frowned:

"At a young age, you regarded the life and death of the court as child's play, and you also watched the jokes of your elders, listened to the corners, and played tricks, which of these points is the habit of raising a girl."

"Could it be that I didn't know that you secretly rerouted the chimney in your house, deliberately made it bad, and pretended to be a ghost to scare your eldest mother."

"Also, isn't the cloth village opened by your second uncle and mother also confiscated because of your accusation."

"This is one thing after another, how can you let your mother not discipline you strictly."

Cheng Shaoshang retorted:

"I can't get used to what they have done over the years, so I sued them, which was a great good thing for Cheng."

"What's more, don't you fight back when you are bullied by others?"

Xiao Yuanyi saw that she still dared to contradict herself, and she was speechless with anger:

"You"

Cheng Shi saw that the atmosphere on the field was deadlocked, and just wanted to say something, Ge Shi walked into the study angrily.

Seeing that their family of three was there, his face was stagnant, and he said dryly:

"It turns out that the son-in-law and the wife are also there, I came to Shaoshang, just to ask how well this word is read? Whether it is necessary to teach a thing or two. ”

Cheng Shaoshang replied with a smile:

"I can finally recognize seven, seven, eight, eight and eight words in a hundred words, so I don't have to worry about the second uncle."

After hearing this, Ge Shi became more and more angry in his heart, thinking that if it weren't for her deep scheming, she would leave herself in the current main house at the cost of slandering her biological mother.

Thinking again, if it weren't for the fact that his husband had disabled legs and feet, and his temperament was weak, he couldn't take on the head of this family, how could he endure the disgust of the mother and daughter in front of him.

He immediately turned around and walked away.

Cheng Shaoshang smashed his mouth:

"Mother, as a second uncle, I will definitely sprinkle all the anger in my heart on my second uncle, if you don't go"
