Geng Shulou glanced at everyone in the room, turned around and left.

Although his steps were still a little unsteady, he did not ask for help, but walked out step by step. It was not until he was out of the door that he was helped back to his yard by the two boys waiting outside. .

"Geng Xun, didn't you say... didn't you say... Brother Lou will definitely be an official this time? Will he have a bright future in the future? This is what you call a bright future. Where is Canghan Guard? Even if there is no war , fewer people freeze to death every year!”

As soon as Geng Shulou left, Xia immediately exploded. She stared at Geng Xun, her eyes seemed to dig a hole in Geng Xun's face.

Geng Xun turned away and sighed.

"This is what Brother Lou has to do. Besides, even if he goes to the bitter cold north, he is still an official. No matter where he is an official, he is serving the imperial court!"

Geng Xun said, cupping his hands and bowing down in the direction of the palace.

Xia sneered and was about to say something else when Geng Xun suddenly straightened his face and stared at Xia sharply.

"Be careful! Are you so dissatisfied, do you have objections to the emperor's imperial edict? If that is the case, don't blame me for not reminding you, but the uncle's house cannot keep you. I have to think about the entire Anping uncle's house, and for the sake of my children and grandchildren. For your own sake!”

Geng Xun's words were spoken very calmly, without any ups and downs in his voice, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing. But to Xia's ears, it was like thunder, which made her ears hurt. Dizziness.

How Xia finally returned to the main courtyard was unclear. When she finally came to her senses, she only saw Mother Qiao standing in front of her, looking at her worriedly.

"Did you just hear what he said?"

Mrs. Bo looked stunned.

Mother Qiao didn't hear it, but she knew what her uncle said. Liang Ben told her.

"Madam, my uncle was just anxious because the eldest young master was going to Canghan Guard, so he said something indiscriminately. Don't take it to heart!"

Mother Qiao comforted her, but she felt in her heart that what the uncle said may not be angry.

Since the second master left, the uncle seems to have gradually lost patience with his wife.

Xia shook her head, "No, what he said is true. After the second son left, he gradually disliked me and wanted to please his other two sons. However, Brother Lou is still there and he is still promising. He endured... and waited, but now Brother Lou... he was sent to the North, a harsh and cold place. Not to mention what his future was like, it was hard to say whether he could come back alive, so... so he died. scruples..."

Mother Qiao was shocked by Xia's words, "Madam, uncle is not..."

"Okay, you go down, I want to rest!"

Before Mother Qiao could finish speaking, Xia interrupted her.

In the hall of the outer courtyard, after Mrs. Xia left, Mrs. Yao was the first to leave. Instead of returning to the inner courtyard, she went straight to the courtyard of Geng Shulou. Geng Xingyue quickly followed.

"Mom, wait for me. Mom, where are you going?"

Geng Yan took a deep look at Geng Xun. Geng Xun did not avoid his eyes, nor did he respond to him. Instead, he ordered: "Brother Lou will set off tomorrow. Please help me think about anything that needs to be prepared. Help prepare some. As for the manpower, in addition to the two boys beside him, I will send two boys from Yideyuan who are good at martial arts to follow him."

Geng Wen and Geng Yan agreed, and the two went to find Geng Shulou together.

Geng Xingshuang and other female relatives returned to the inner courtyard together.

On the way, Mrs. Jiang said: "Sister-in-law, what do you think is going on? Why did Geng Shulou go to Dali Temple to sue His Highness King Li? Why is he so brave?"

Ruan shook her head, of course she didn't know.

"Fortunately, he only moved himself to Canghanwei and other places, and did not involve us."

"Mom..." Geng Xingchen called hurriedly and pulled Jiang's hand.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Geng Xingchen, "I'm just telling the truth. If because of him, you little girls have to go to the bitterly cold Northland, you see, I can spare him!"

Geng Xingchen stopped talking.

In the evening, Geng Wen and Geng Shuhuai returned to the inner courtyard for dinner. When talking about this matter, Geng Wen sighed: "My third brother and I also asked, but he didn't tell us, and even the second brother and sister didn't find out anything." Geng Shuhuai said: "I think grandpa Know something.”

Geng Xingshuang felt the same way. She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, second brother, you can ask your grandfather tomorrow."

Geng Wen hesitated, "Your grandfather... may not be able to tell."

"I think my grandfather would say it." Geng Xingshuang felt this way.

Geng Shuhuai also said: "Today is different from the past. Grandpa should have told us that we will call our third uncle tomorrow too."

Geng Wen and Ruan looked at each other and then at their children. The couple could see each other's thoughts from their own eyes.

In the evening, Geng Wen asked Ruan, "Do you think your father will say it?"

Ruan said: "I didn't know before, but since Sister Shuang and Brother Huai both said that he can speak, then he should be able to speak."

"Do you really trust their judgment?"

In the darkness, Mrs. Ruan glanced at Geng Wen, "I don't believe them. Do I believe you? Do you think you are smarter than Sister Shuang and Brother Huai?"

"Sister Shuang is indeed smart. As for Geng Shuhuai, let's see if he can pass the exam this time. The martial arts exam is not just about brute strength, but also requires some brains. If he passes the exam, I will admit that he is smarter than me. "Geng Wen said.

"Brother Huai has won the martial arts exam. You can't admit it. I don't know who failed the exam several times..."

"Ah Ying, let's just talk about what you said in private. Please don't say it in front of that guy Geng Shuhuai in the future, otherwise he will hold his head even higher in front of me!"

"When you say that, do you already think that Brother Huai can win the martial arts competition?"

"Not necessarily!"

Geng Shuhuai didn't know what his parents talked about him in private. These days, he was not in a good mood, so he seemed much calmer.

On the second day, he took Geng Shu, followed Geng Shu to introduce Geng Shu and Min's three children, and sent Geng Shulou to the outside of Ningdu city.

Because of the one-month deadline in the imperial edict, Geng Shulou did not choose to take a carriage but a horse.

Fang Zhu, Zizhu, and the two young men Geng Xunxin assigned beside him also followed him on horseback.

The group of five people, because they were on their way on horseback and had reduced their luggage, gradually disappeared at the end of the official road outside the city.

"Let's go back!"

Geng Shulou himself drove the carriage and turned around. The three little ones were talking about topics they were interested in at that age in the carriage. He sat against the wall of the carriage behind him without shaking the reins, and walked slowly forward with the carriage. , thinking about what Geng Shulou said when he said goodbye.

"Second brother, you will pass the martial arts examination this time. This is your ability and my intuition. After passing the martial arts examination, where do you think your future will be? Is it in Ningdu City? Or will it be in a warm and pleasant place? A land of plenty?”

At that time, Geng Shuhuai did not answer him.

Geng Shulou thought to himself: "At that time, you will find that if you seek comfort, with the current decline of the uncle's house, you can only be a military attache below the sixth rank in your life. Look at my father, who has been working hard all his life. Even if you die, you won’t be able to earn a fifth-grade position.”

"So you did this on purpose?" Although Geng Shuhuai had guessed part of it, he still felt a little unbelievable.

Geng Shulou's answer at the time was, "Wealth is sought in danger. I can only say that Northland is the temporary result I can obtain after seeking it, but it will not be the final outcome."

"How did you know what King Li did?"

"It's normal for several princes to insert people into each other's mansions. Sister Bing is the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Ping. She was reprimanded by Prince Ping because of the real and fake daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. I, as a Her brother, whether it’s true or not, she called me big brother for 15 years, and I have to help her.”

As the carriage swayed along, Geng Shuhuai thought about it and walked along the way.

"Did I look at him wrongly on weekdays?"
