Chapter 14 Chapter 014: Moving the Mansion
Shen Shaosheng carefully observed Shen Hong's expression, trying to find the real answer.

He first played the emotional card. The uncle valued family ties the most. Then he asked about the real estate, shops and fields of the Marquis Mansion. In the past, when he used this trick, the uncle would give up a large part of the benefits to himself.

"Don't worry, I will come back from time to time after moving out, and I won't let outsiders bully you." Shen Hong suppressed the nausea in his heart and continued to be the fool he was before.

"Your grandfather has wanted to be a father-in-law for decades. As a son, I naturally have to be filial to him. Now that I can ask for grace from the emperor, it can be regarded as fulfilling your grandfather's wish."

"As for the title of Crown Prince given to you, it is well deserved. If you study well, the provincial examination will be next year. You have a good chance of winning Jieyuan. Maybe you can also win the top prize. I am very optimistic about you, Shaosheng. "

"Uncle, I am the second son of a concubine, and I should not be the heir to the prince's family. The uncle still has five sons. Even if the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother cannot inherit, there are still fourth and fifth brothers."

Shen Shaosheng looked embarrassed and humble.

Shen Hong gave a cry and smiled: "They are not as smart and hard-working as you. It is up to you to inherit and carry forward the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Otherwise, I will not be able to face my ancestors a hundred years later. "

"Uncle, I... I'm afraid I don't have the ability."

"You do, I believe you."

"Thank you for your trust, uncle. As long as I have half of his abilities, I believe that the Hou Mansion can be passed down from generation to generation."

"believe in yourself."

"Uncle, Grandpa inherited the Duke's Mansion, but he is used to being lazy and has no idea of ​​making money. How should the Duke's Mansion continue to operate?

I want to go to college to study, but I really can't help grandpa much. "

"Don't worry about this. Two-thirds of the government's properties, fields and shops will be inherited by your grandfather, and I will take one-third."

This is Shen Hong's biggest concession.

"..." Shen Shaosheng was stunned for a moment. He thought that his uncle would not take away any property.

The corners of his lips twitched to reveal a fake smile: "That's great. I'd like to thank uncle on behalf of my grandpa and my mother. Without uncle, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have now."

But what he was thinking in his heart was: without Shen Hong, everything in the palace would be his own.

……

Ruan Ruan was happy all day after hearing the content of the imperial edict. She was so tired that she slept all night without getting up to drink breast milk.

On the second day, as soon as Cheng Yurong was out of confinement, she ordered dozens of maids, servants, maids, and guards in the big room to send everyone to pack their luggage.

Although the property is not much, it still takes a lot of time to tidy up.

Looking at the small amount of property, Shen Hong felt ashamed, and felt even more ashamed of his wife and children.

But this time he moved his residence, and his salary and rewards would no longer need to be shared with his second wife.

Three days later, he moved to the mansion.

Shen Hong specially picked an auspicious day.

"You are the one who wants to move out. If your life is not going to be good in the future, don't come back crying and begging me to support you." Shen Zhongsheng stood at the gate of the Hou Mansion and abdicated his responsibilities in advance.

Shen Hong nodded and smiled: "Dad, you don't have to worry!"

He suppressed his anger, turned around and took his wife and children into the carriage.

"Bah! What the hell!" Old Yang spat on the ground.

"Master, if the boss comes back to fight the autumn wind, I won't let them in."

After holding in her anger for more than thirty years, she could finally let it out.

From now on, the palace will be her territory, and she will be the mistress. She will not just have to get wind and rain, and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Although she is just a concubine, if Shen Zhongsheng does not marry a step-mother, then she is the mistress of the entire palace. Who dares to look down on her and bully her?

"Mom, please stop saying a few words. My eldest brother is good enough to us. He gave us two-thirds of his property, just because he is afraid that we will live a hard life."

Little Yang pretended to be gentle and sensible, and carefully cast a warm/slight look at Shen Hong. Unexpectedly, she only saw his back, which made her bite her teeth with hatred.

"Brother, take care... come back often, we will miss you."

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Cheng Yurong was obviously startled when she got on the carriage, and turned to glare at Shen Hong. "Go back and kneel on the washboard."

"As you command, madam." He shrank his neck and felt aggrieved.

When Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng got on the second carriage, they heard what Shen Zhongsheng and Lao Yang said, and they could hardly suppress their anger and rushed over to beat them.

However, after being persuaded and comforted by their respective book boys, they got into the carriage obediently.

Ruan Ruan was first carried into the carriage by Aunt Zhou, but the ugly faces of Shen Zhongsheng and Old Yang were not seen.

But after hearing the words, she wanted to hit them too.

"Uncle, uncle, please come back often, I will miss you very much."

"Fourth brother - fifth brother - I will come and play with you when I have time."

Shen Qingqing trotted to the carriage and squeezed a few tears from her eyes.

"Uncle, come back often, the Hou Mansion will always be your home." Shen Shaosheng shouted, waving his hands, pretending to be reluctant to leave.

Dafang's luggage was packed into six carriages with four people in them, while Cheng Yurong's dowry was also packed into five carriages.

Fifteen carriages headed toward the General's Mansion, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Some pedestrians who had nothing to do joined in the fun and followed the carriage all the way to the General's Mansion.

The distance between the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion is three kilometers.

Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhiqing each rode in a carriage and entered through the back door without showing their faces in front of others.

In addition to Cheng Yurong's carriage, the carriages occupied by two brothers, Shen Zhijie and Cheng Yurong, were parked at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Shen Hong rode a horse, and after dismounting, he handed it over to a young man to lead him into the stable of the mansion.

Dozens of servants were busy carrying luggage and decorating the house.

Red lanterns are hung, happy words are posted, and the aroma of the kitchen is fragrant.

Because there is a housewarming banquet tonight, dozens of dignitaries have been invited to the banquet.

Before the sun sets at the foot of the mountain, guests have already arrived at the General's Mansion one after another, and gifts are being delivered to the warehouse one after another.

Cheng Yurong was so merciless when receiving gifts that she was embarrassed, even though she had given gifts to others dozens of times before.

The taste of this banquet is particularly outstanding, and the dishes are novel and delicious, such as Bazhen duck, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, duck-wrapped fish, Longjing shrimp, glutinous rice chicken balls, Dongpo pork, Mapo tofu...

It was the first time for dignitaries and dignitaries to taste these dishes, and they all asked who Chef Shen Hong was and how he developed so many delicious dishes.

It made him feel embarrassed. It can't be said that his little girl thinks about eating meat every day and reveals her recipes!

This banquet lasted for a full hour, and all the dishes on the table were swept away without leaving a drop of soup.

The male guests were drunk, and the female family members took care of them. After watching a big fireworks specially set off by Shen Hong, they went back to their homes.

The servants quickly cleaned the "battlefield", and when they had some free time, they gathered together to talk and laugh.

"I didn't expect the General's Mansion to be so big and luxurious. It seems to be decorated according to the rank of a first-class official. It is much more elegant than the Duke's Mansion."

"That's right. It's a blessing for us to be able to follow the general."

"You don't know yet! The government is also holding a wedding banquet tonight, saying it is to celebrate Mr. Shen becoming the father-in-law."

"Really? Wouldn't that be fun?"

"It's so lively. Not a single official went to have a drink. The few guests were Mr. Shen's friends. The gifts they gave me were so shabby."
