Anhe Hall is the most central courtyard of the Sheng Guogong Mansion. It was originally the place where the previous Dukes and their spouses lived. However, in the generation of the current Sheng Guogong, Sheng You, it caused a lot of troubles.
When he married his first wife, Da Qin, the old Duke and his wife were still alive. After Sheng Huan took over the position of Duke, he gave up the main courtyard and chose Funing Hall, which is adjacent to the main courtyard, as the main courtyard.
Later, the old Duke Guo and his wife left, but Sheng Huan didn't even mention moving out. He only used the main courtyard as a place to receive guests. Without the Da Qin family, he claimed that he couldn't bear to live in a sad place for a long time, so he moved to Anhe Hall to live.
After remarrying the Liang family, he also said that he would arrange a new residence for the newlyweds, so he decided to give the Qingyan Garden on the other side of Anhe Hall to the Liang family as her main courtyard.
From then on, although Duke Sheng Guo visited Qingyan Garden every day, he did not stay overnight often. Instead, he acquiesced that Anhe Hall was his own courtyard.
Later, when Mr. Liang gave birth to his son, he thought he had given Mr. Liang a place to live, so he openly arranged for his concubine Chang to live in the side courtyard of Anhe Hall.
For this reason, Mrs. Liang became very angry, and there was even a quarrel between Anhetang and Qingyanyuan. Duke Sheng almost shouted that he wanted to divorce his wife.
In the end, it was Liang's sister-in-law who came to talk to her, and Liang finally acquiesced to the fact that Chang would settle down in the side courtyard of Anhe Hall.
However, in order to look good to each other, Sheng Guogong also made a promise that the Chang family would not be allowed in and out of the main courtyard of Anhe Hall for anything.
As for whether this guarantee will be useful after Anhetang closes its doors, it's unclear.
Anyway, when Sheng Yuan was carried into the main hall of the main courtyard by her father, Chang was sitting with Sheng Guogong's head.
When Mr. Sheng has meetings at home, he always arrives at the right time. Basically, when he goes in, the agreed time arrives.
In other words, as long as no one is late, Mr. Sheng will definitely be the last one to arrive.
No, Sheng Yuan, who was held by him, showed up in the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion for the first time, and felt what it meant to be the center of attention!
It was really a "swish" moment, all eyes were focused on it!
Sheng Yuan was not uncomfortable, holding her father's neck with one hand and looking back and forth with her little head.
Well, she felt two special eyes coming from different directions. Sheng Yuan blinked and couldn't decide where to look first.
However, this special feeling was fleeting. When she chose the order and looked over again, it was no longer as unusual as before, so much so that she couldn't even find the owner of her sight.
If you didn't find it, you didn't find it. Sheng Yuan was such a big-hearted child. She quickly put this situation behind her and happily looked at it while the adults were chatting. 's protagonists.
According to her sister, her grandfather Sheng Huan was already sixty-three years old, but Sheng Yuan looked at the elegant grandfather in front of her, with faintly handsome features, and felt that the word "Mr." was particularly suitable for him. He looked very similar. The dean of Shanzhong Academy.
Sitting in the same seat with her grandfather was Mrs. Liang, the duke of the country. She looked kind and kind-hearted, not like the legendary fierce temper. According to her sister, Mrs. Liang was nearly twenty years younger than her grandfather, and she was only four years old. Six out of ten, but because she always likes to dress up according to her status as a duchess and wife, at a glance, she seems to be the same age as her husband.
Sheng Yuan glanced at the beautiful Mrs. Liang, and hurriedly turned to look at Mrs. Chang who was dressed in casual clothes.
Although this lady has an average appearance, probably because she has a smooth life, she looks younger than Madam Liang, who is almost sixty years old. I don’t know if it’s because she lives in Anhe Hall, but she looks older. A bit like a housewife.
Sheng Yuan blinked her big black grape eyes and discovered something interesting: Although Mrs. Liang and her grandfather were sitting side by side, judging from their attire, Duke Sheng Guo and Mrs. Chang, who were wearing uniforms of the same color, looked quite similar. They were an ordinary couple, especially her grandfather and Mrs. Chang who looked at each other from time to time. Comparing Mrs. Liang's formulaic smile, you can see the difference even more.
Anyway, none of the two ladies above was her biological grandmother, so Sheng Yuan was very happy eating melons. She wished she could paint this scene and take it home. When she had nothing to do, she could play a game of finding fault and look at Duke Sheng Guo. What’s the difference when sharing the same camera with Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Liang respectively?
As the saying goes, when you look at the scenery on the bridge, the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.
No, Sheng Yuan was looking at everyone in her father's arms, and people in the main hall also noticed her to some extent.
Especially Duke Sheng Guogong was shocked when he first saw his granddaughter.
Good guy, how did this little girl, who is as fat as a glutinous rice dumpling, eat it?
Those who didn’t know better thought that his son snatched the child because he saw it looked good!
Thinking like this, Sheng You couldn't help but look at the children and grandchildren in the hall, and then silently nodded to his heart: He just said, the Sheng family has always been thin, and they can't get fat even if they eat. Sure enough, this little girl is the only fat one in the family!
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw Sister Yuan, she looks even more festive!" It was the second young lady He who spoke.
Sheng Yuan heard the sound and looked over, and saw an extremely gorgeous woman dressed in gold and silver smiling at her. The second aunt's beautiful features suppressed the exaggeration of her clothes, and instead made her laugh. People think she deserves to be dressed like this.
"Yes, little Jiuniang is already three years old before I know it. Time flies so fast." Mrs. Yang, the fifth young lady, answered with a light smile. From the words, she could not tell that there was a strong grudge between the two of them. My grandmother-in-law talked to her as usual, nothing unusual.
Sheng Yuan turned her head again and looked at the fifth aunt who called her "Xiao Jiuniang".
According to the old rules, Jiuniang of the Sheng family was her official title outside. If there had not been a previous reading order from the official family, she would have been known as "Nine Niangs of the Sheng family" or "Sheng Jiuniang" by people who came and went.
But when she was three years old, the nickname she heard the most was Sister Yuan.
If Yang, her fifth aunt, didn't speak, she would look really quiet and beautiful, and she would look weak. But when she speaks, all the five senses move, giving the impression that she has so much energy that she can't use it all up. .
"Okay, stop teasing our little Jiuniang, let the child recognize us as relatives. Her uncle and I have prepared a meeting gift." The eldest young lady, Yunshi, saw that everyone had finished greetings, and then coughed twice. , talking about business, she had noticed her father-in-law frowning several times before, and guessing that he was impatient, she quickly reminded everyone to let the children recognize each other, because the father-in-law still had something to talk about.
As the wife of the heir to the Duke's Mansion and the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Yun's words still carry weight, so Sheng Yuan looked at this eldest aunt who was beautiful but dignified in manners.
Well, he seems to be a gentle person!
Sheng Yuan was just a child after all. Although she imagined that she could look at everyone at a glance, in fact, her eyes followed her ears, and she looked at anyone who made any move.
This characteristic of Mrs. Chen, who does not like to talk but has a festive appearance, was something she discovered when she recognized people in order.
Sheng Yuan saw that the tea table where Xiaoyao was receiving gifts and red envelopes was almost full, and she immediately smiled and said to herself, no matter what the relationship between these rooms was, they were very generous!
Ahem, this is not because she is obsessed with money, and she doesn’t really care whether she has money or not. She just likes to open gifts!
