After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 215 Fire, Fire, Fire Cloud

Shangguan Shu was sharply aware of the gaze from the opposite side, he looked up and found that the white-faced immortal master had lowered his head. He did not hesitate and continued eating.

After the meal, Henglin even washed the dishes. He was so thoughtful that Shangguan Shu couldn't help but say, "Come again next time!" when he saw him off.

Henglin: ...

The moon was bright, and the white shadow became smaller and smaller, finally disappearing into the barren mountains.

Different from the desolate and shabby Yumang Mountain, the imperial palace was bustling with life, drinking and feasting, and the utmost luxury.

The children all changed into new clothes and ran around and made noises outside the hall after their meal.

Emperor Jianxi also held a grand banquet for his close ministers and concubines in Chongqing Hall, with the Duke of Zhenguo sitting at the head of the table.

Halfway through the banquet, the old Duke found Zhao Ying and bowed deeply, just to apologize for his son. Their Duke's Mansion had let His Highness down. Although there would be no marriage in the future, the Duke's Mansion would still stand on the side of the Crown Prince. His son was also bewitched. When he was young, he cried and made a fuss, asking him to ask His Highness for marriage...

Zhao Ying smiled in disbelief.

Is he talking about Shangguan Shu?

Zhao Ying questioned, "Did the old Duke hear it wrongly? Was it Huai'an that Shangguan Shu wanted to marry when he was young?"

The old Duke shook his head fiercely, his face firm, "Your Highness, I am old, but not confused, Your Highness!" The old Duke wanted to talk about the things Shangguan Shu did when he was young, but then he thought, now it has come to this, nothing he said would help, what's the point?

So he shut up.

Zhao Ying did not comment on this statement.

Finally, the old Duke also said that Shangguan Shu was kicked out of the house by him.

Zhao Ying was suddenly shocked, and after a while he said, "Thank you..."

At this time, Shangguan Qingyue came running over.

The little guy can talk now. He calls out to people when he sees them and his mouth is very sweet.

It was so beautiful that Emperor Jianxi and the old Duke were thrilled.

The old duke was of course happy. Seeing that she let him hug her without any concern, the old duke's eyes became sore. He thought of his rejection of the little girl in the past and felt that he deserved to die.

"Grandpa, grandpa! Hug! Hug!"

The old Duke picked up Shangguan Qingyue, and Shangguan Qingyue stretched out his hand to the old Duke, "Grandfather, where is Yue'er's New Year's money?"

The old Duke laughed and scolded, "Little money-grubber!"

As he spoke, he took out a packet from his pocket and solemnly placed it into the little guy's hand. Shangguan Qingyue weighed it with his little hand and grinned.

She kissed the old Duke, and then did not stay, but hurried down, very busy, and even said perfunctorily as she ran away, "Grandfather, Yue'er loves you the most, Yue'er is going to play first!"

【Yue'er still has a lot of New Year's money that she hasn't collected yet! 】

The old Duke laughed.

He blamed Shangguan Shu more and more in his heart. If he hadn't had a brain disorder, would he not be able to see his well-behaved and lovely grandchildren?

He's only been out for a few days, and he's already gotten into such trouble?

Of course people have preferences, and among his three sons, he naturally likes the eldest son the most.

But the eldest son is really disappointing!

Divorce the princess for the sake of that vicious bitch.

Why can't he be killed?

The old Duke was angry, but he did not forget to visit his grandchildren one by one and give them red envelopes.

Finally, everything was done. The old duke was tired and said goodbye and went back home.

On New Year’s Eve, I reunite with my grandchildren and then go back to reunite with my sons.

Tonight's palace banquet is equivalent to the emperor's family banquet, and only a few of the emperor's close ministers are qualified to attend.

Shangguan Zhu and Shangguan Dan are not qualified.

The carriage swayed to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. Just as the old duke was about to step in, he noticed that the sky in the distance was red. The night that should have been pitch black was covered with a layer of red clouds, like a sunset glow.

Judging from the direction, it is Shangguan Dan's yard again...

Hongyun, Dean, Shangguan Dan?

Could it be that the pig demon is coming again?

The old Duke felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't breathe.

Old Huang beside him was also startled, pointing at Hongyun and shouting, "Master, that Third Grandma is here again!!"

As Old Huang spoke, he supported the old Duke and quickly entered the mansion.

When they arrived at Shangguan Dan's yard, as expected, the pig demon was chasing Shangguan Dan all over the yard.

Shangguan Zhu and the guards and servants stood by, anxiously waiting.

Perhaps because he hadn't seen them for several months and he missed them so much, the pig demon's steps were particularly urgent.

"Sanlang, I miss you so much, old pig!"

Oh... so persistent...

The old Duke curled his lips in disdain, ordered someone in a trembling voice to invite Master Wugen over, and then he returned to Ning'an Hall.

I wanted to have another meal with my sons, but given the current situation... forget it.

The pig demon won’t eat Shangguan Dan. The worst result is nothing more than... what is he afraid of? They have been sleeping in the same bed for ten years.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so worry less and let them enjoy their blessings.

The old duke washed up and went to bed.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I suddenly remembered something.

Many years ago, he went to Mount Wutai to meditate. The abbot told him that he would have three sons, and all three sons were afraid of fire, so he gave his three sons names with water in them.

The abbot also gave each of his three sons a fortune.

Six words.

Shangguan Shu: Fire

Shangguan Zhu: Fire

Shangguan Dan: Burning Clouds

Now it seems that Tan Zhi is trapped by the pig demon riding on a cloud of fire every day, and the abbot's judgment is not wrong.

What about Runzhi and Tingzhi?

Tingzhi is easy to understand. Fire, he must have been burned by fire. Let him avoid fire tomorrow.

What about Runzhi?

fire……

The old Duke thought about it as he lay on the bed, becoming more and more energetic.

……

On Shangguan Dan's side, when Master Wugen arrived, the pig demon had already left.

I ran and vomited.

Feeling ashamed, I left.

Shangguan Dan squatted on the steps with his face covered, not saying a word.

Shangguan Zhu was tired. It was New Year's Day, but there was no festive atmosphere in the entire Duke's Mansion. It was extremely deserted. His eldest brother was kicked out of the house, his third brother was haunted by a pig demon, and he was demoted four levels. His former subordinates became his immediate superiors.

It's really unfavorable for fleeting years!

Shangguan Zhu gave a few instructions to the maids and servants, then returned to his own courtyard.

Shen and the child were waiting for him in the hall.

There was a table full of delicious food and a pot of hot wine. When his wife and children saw him coming back, they all smiled. Pan Geer stood up and shouted, "Daddy, you're back!"

"My mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shangguan Zhu nodded slightly in response, and the maids came forward to serve him meal.

Shen wanted to say something to him, but seeing that he was as cold as usual, she shut up and just ate.

After dinner, they sent the children away. Shangguan Zhu was a little strange tonight and he took the initiative to pull Shen into the bed.

A turbulent night.

She could feel Shangguan Zhu's excitement.

Why is he like this?

Shen's consciousness gradually became cloudy.

Only after seeing Shen fall asleep did Shangguan Zhu dare to take out the jade pendant.

Exactly the same as the big brother's.

But... maybe brother has forgotten where the jade pendant came from.

Now, he doesn't need to remember.

It's fake anyway.

But he is different, he will always remember and cherish it.

It snowed a few days ago, which is a sign of a good harvest. It’s time for good times to come for him.

A faint smile appeared on Shangguan Zhu's lips.
