Chapter 312 The increasingly mysterious mother-in-law
After coming out of the palace, Su Cheng had an imperial edict on his body. At this moment, the sky had dimmed, and night began to shroud the sky above Kyoto City. A waning moon shone quietly in the sky.
After leaving the palace, Su Cheng and He Changsheng and others who were waiting at the palace gate returned to the mansion.
On the way, Su Cheng looked worried and said nothing.
Tian Dazhuang was a restless person. Seeing Su Cheng not speaking, he couldn't help but whisper to He Changsheng beside him: "If the Marquis doesn't speak, is he in trouble?"
He Changsheng glanced at him: "Who is Mr. Hou? Even if there is trouble, he will not be able to trouble him."
Tian Dazhuang curled his lips: "It's hard to say. What if the trouble comes from His Majesty's side?"
"Nonsense, how could your Majesty create trouble for the Marquis? You don't know what you are thinking about every day!"
"Then tell me, why does the Marquis look like this?"
"That's Mr. Hou's business, how do I know!"
Just as the two were bickering, Su Cheng suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the two of them and shook his head: "You guys, don't stop for a moment, but this time I am indeed in trouble."
Tian Dazhuang slapped his chest and looked confident: "If you have anything to do, Lord Marquis, just ask me, I will definitely handle it for you!"
He Changsheng said nothing, but glared at Tian Dazhuang.
This guy knows how to brag every day.
Su Cheng didn't think much about it, and there was a solemn look in his eyes: "There is someone from Shangguan Hao in the Hanlin Academy. If this person is not found out, the test questions will definitely be leaked!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of He Changsheng and the other three people changed drastically. Even Tian Dazhuang, who didn't know much about the rules, was stunned.
If the imperial examination questions are leaked, no matter what the reason is, Su Cheng, as the academician in charge and the examiner, will definitely be beheaded!
This is an imperial examination, and it is related to the future of Daliang. If any of the questions are leaked, it will be a big trouble. Even the emperor cannot save Su Cheng.
He Changsheng was the first to react: "Can't we find that person first?"
Su Cheng nodded slightly: "I have this intention. I just wanted to think about how to find this person!"
Shen Xingyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Is there anything we need to do?"
Su Cheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's not suitable for you to take action on this matter. I will ask my wife to cooperate."
Shen Xingyu was stunned: "Do you need elder sister to take action?"
"You are not suitable to take action!" Su Cheng said with a smile: "After all, we don't know who is Shangguan Hao's man, and the other party has not shown any signs of weakness. Only the cooperation of my wife and I can make the opponent show his fox tail!"
While he was talking, Su Cheng and others had already arrived outside the mansion. After dismounting, he handed the horse to Tian Dazhuang and went straight to the side hall.
After a busy day, he was also hungry.
In the side hall, Shen Youwei looked at a table of dishes, resting her chin on her hands, staring blankly out of the hall.
When Su Cheng's figure appeared in front of her, her dull eyes instantly became bright and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Ms. sir!"
Shen Youwei stood up and took three steps at a time to greet her at the door of the side hall. She held Su Cheng's hand and walked with a smile: "I asked the kitchen people to prepare some good dishes today!"
Su Cheng looked at the table.
Good guy, dog penis, pork loin, sheep kidney, beef, and ginseng soup are all great tonics.
Chunhua Qiuyue beside her was already laughing from ear to ear, covering her mouth and trying her best not to laugh out loud.
The corner of Su Cheng's mouth twitched: "Madam, although we have exercised a lot in the past two days, I think... I don't need these things."
Shen Youwei stared at him: "If I say you need it, you need it!"
Su Cheng: "..."
Well, there is no need to continue this kind of thing. If he continues, Shen Youwei may tell everything about his performance at night.
"Madam, let's eat first!" Su Cheng changed the subject.
Shen Youwei sat down, took the dog whip for him and put it in the bowl.
Su Cheng's eyes twitched and he said nothing.
After thinking about it, Su Cheng put down his chopsticks and asked, "Madam, have you found a place to train the soldiers?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Shen Youwei suddenly became excited. She smiled and said, "We have found a place. Niu Chong took me to see it. It is in an open area in the city."
After a pause, Shen Youwei suddenly hugged Su Cheng's arm with a smile on her face: "Will all these soldiers be trained by me?"
"Of course, isn't this what we agreed before?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.
Shen Youwei chuckled: "Then you must be prepared for heavy bleeding. I need a lot of money to provide good food for these soldiers. My training is very intense, and I need good food to ensure that their physical strength can keep up. "
Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "It's just more food expenses. You can just go and talk to Shen Xiangyang about this kind of thing."
"No, I have a lot of food expenses!"
"How much is a lot?"
"ten times!"
"Pfft!"
The rice in Su Cheng's mouth spurted out. He stared at his wife in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "How much...how much?"
Shen Youwei looked serious: "Ten times!"
Su Cheng wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth: "Are you sure it's ten times better? Is your training method so intense?"
Shen Youwei smiled and said: "No, I asked for this from my mother. She said that if I can ensure the supply of food, this army will be invincible in the future, let alone deal with a small Shangguan. Hao, even if you take the head of a general out of ten thousand troops, it’s no problem!”
When Su Cheng heard this, his eyes widened.
This training method was actually learned from my mother-in-law, who rarely appeared outside.
Su Cheng asked about the origin of this mother-in-law, but Shen Youwei couldn't explain it clearly. After going back and forth, he didn't ask further.
Now it seems that this mother-in-law is much more mysterious than he imagined.
She has superb martial arts skills and training methods, but she also doesn’t know where this mother-in-law comes from.
But he was a little curious: "Is it really that powerful?"
Shen Youwei pouted: "My mother has never lied to me, and this time it was me who begged her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed. Are you so powerful?"
Su Cheng pondered for a moment after hearing the words. The food for a thousand people has been doubled tenfold. This is not a small amount of money. Even if the Shen family has strong financial resources now, as long as they agree to this matter, their monthly income will be reduced by at least half.
However, since this is the training method of the mysterious mother-in-law, it doesn't mean you can't try it, and stop if the effect doesn't work.
"Okay, I can agree to this, but I have to do a favor tomorrow!" Su Cheng had additional conditions.
"What's the rush?"
"Come with me to the Hanlin Academy to perform in a play tomorrow!" Su Cheng said with a smile his plan.
Shen Youwei's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Of course I am willing to do such a fun thing!"
