The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1170 Talk

Sheng Yuan finally met his uncle Sheng Xiangya.

However, the meeting place this time was not at Duke Sheng’s Mansion.

"The pavilion of the Five Military Governor's Office is nice. Standing here you can overlook the entire outer city." Sheng Xiangya stood in front of the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside the city and sighing.

"No matter how good the scenery is, it won't be surprising after you see it for a long time." Sheng Yuan poured a cup of tea and pushed it to the other side. Then he looked up at Sheng Xiangya and said, "Uncle has been looking for me for these days, can't it be just to see the scenery here?"

"Maybe I just want to see the scenery here?"

Sheng Xiangya walked back slowly and sat down.

"If uncle likes it, then I will naturally agree to it." Sheng Yuan smiled.

Hearing this, Sheng Xiangya stared at her with a pointed look: "Oh?! My nephew Wen Zhen, are you serious?? I will believe it."

Sheng Yuan nodded: "Seeing the scenery is also a way to cultivate one's character. My nephew is not capable enough to follow other matters, but helping your uncle cultivate his character is easy, how can I refuse?!"

After hearing this, Sheng Xiangya nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "He is indeed a sly guy."

Sheng Yuan denied it, "My nephew is an honest man. He never brags about his achievements. He always says he can do something and he doesn't. He never lies to others."

"Yes, honest!" Sheng Xiangya stopped smiling, responded casually, and sneered, "You are so good at hiding from me, that today, there is no need for me to ask you to help redeem people."

"Uncle's words are strange. If someone else heard them and didn't know the truth, they would think something had happened to those five people!"

"The five men were beaten with clubs, and then exiled to the Southland in chains!"

"It wasn't my nephew who instigated them to do it, and it wasn't my nephew who sentenced them! Isn't it inappropriate for you to look at me with such condemnation?!" "Sheng Yuan!" Sheng Xiangya saw that his niece didn't take it seriously, so he called her by her name in a deep voice and said seriously, "Do you know that the five of them are all from the old members of the Sheng family? Do you know that these old members are the way out left by the ancestors of the Sheng family for the Sheng family? Do you know how much effort the Shengguogong Mansion has put in maintaining this connection and safeguarding this way out from generation to generation?"

He questioned Sheng Yuan with each question becoming heavier and more severe.

When the question was asked with the most intense emotions, Sheng Yuan said: "Uncle, what you said is strange. I am not the head of the Sheng family. How can I know these things?"

"..." Suddenly, the full emotions deflated.

"Sheng Yuan, Sheng Yuan! Do you think that I have been looking for you these days just to hold those five people accountable?" Duke Sheng was silent for a long while, then he sighed and asked in return.

"As the saying goes, a kind man cannot command an army. Uncle can command the three armies on the battlefield, fight against the enemy and win countless victories. Naturally, he cannot get angry with his nephew over a few pawns." Sheng Yuan had already understood it by now.

"You are very honest." Sheng Xiangya, who was once again interrupted by Sheng Yuan, laughed angrily.

Sheng Yuan seemed not to notice the other party's emotions and nodded honestly: "My nephew just said that I am an honest person."

"..." Sheng Xiangya, who had made Sheng Yuan choke several times, was helpless. He simply stopped playing the bewitching array and asked directly, "Since you know everything, do you know why I insist on seeing you?!"

"If my uncle wants to see me, then he will. When people get old, they are just like children. If they can't do what they want, they will naturally not give up. Grandfather always said that children in ordinary families can be coaxed and obeyed; but children who hold the future of the whole family in their hands cannot be allowed to make trouble whenever they want. They must be guided."

"..." Sheng Xiangya originally wanted to have a good talk with Sheng Yuan about the fact that he had no concept of family, but he didn't expect that his niece would block his words before he could even finish his words.

Seeing that Sheng Yuan mentioned his father in every word, Sheng Xiangya felt helpless and powerless.

Forget it, forget it, if we don't agree, why would he say anything more? He said goodbye.
