The people in the General's residence discovered that both their General and Madam had become extremely abnormal. The General, who used to be a man of few words, filial, brotherly, and doted on...
Chapter 183 Spread the Word Through Others
"Sorry to make you laugh, come with me to the study."
Shen Zhao turned and left. Zheng Shi was delighted and quickly responded, "Please lead the way, General."
Chu Shanjun and Chu Shan'an looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him.
How can this be possible if Third Uncle just leaves like this?
Chu Shanjun: "Uncle San, my waist is empty, but you have a jade pendant in your hand. Can you give it to your nephew?"
Chu Shan'an quickly interrupted, "Uncle San, you love Shan'an the most. You will definitely not watch Shan'an being laughed at by those aristocratic families in the National Academy. Give the jade pendant to Shan'an." He was afraid that his uncle would give the last jade pendant to Shanjun, which would be too embarrassing for him.
Zheng Shi, who was following behind Shen Zhao, was pushed aside by Chu Shanjun and Chu Shan'an.
The two young boys squeezed Zheng Shi so hard that he staggered and staggered for a few seconds before he could steady himself.
Fortunately, he almost fell down.
After calming down, Zheng Shi frowned unhappily.
The two young masters in the general's mansion have been raised in a wrong way and now seem to be completely uneducated.
He was a guest of the Deng Mansion. Had they thrown all the rules and etiquette aside in such a reckless manner?
Although military generals often despise etiquette, even among those who do, no one has ever seen such a lack of rules.
Pushing him aside just for a jade pendant, isn't General Chu's meaning obvious enough?
It has been made clear that the jade pendant will not be given to them.
He even chased the elders to ask for it.
He had only heard that gifts from elders could not be refused, but he had never seen anyone chasing after others to ask for a gift.
No wonder General Chu would play tricks on them like this, there must be a reason.
Shen Zhao paused, and with a look of surprise, he scolded, "Shanjun, Shan'an, you have read so much that you have become stupid.
Do you know who this gentleman is? If you rashly offend Lord Zheng, you will be held responsible!
He still hasn't apologized to Lord Zheng and has no manners at all. I think he shouldn't even attend the National Studies Academy anymore."
As soon as Shen Zhao and Zheng Shi arrived at the General's Mansion, they were greeted by the palace maids who came to bestow the imperial edict. Before she had time to introduce Zheng Shi to everyone in the General's Mansion.
Chen Zhao sighed in his heart that Zheng Shi was also a wonderful person. After having dinner at Jinyu Tower, he changed into a set of casual clothes in the carriage on the way to the General's Mansion.
This is because they are afraid that the smell of food will be on their bodies and they will lose their manners.
It was because of Zheng Shi's action that everyone revealed their true colors in front of him.
She wanted to keep the people from the second house, but she also wanted to stop them from doing anything wrong outside under the identity of Chu Mu.
She couldn't let the second wife notice and cause any more trouble, and she couldn't let the outside world accuse her of anything wrong.
There was only one way, which was to spread the news through other people's mouths about his current attitude towards the second wife and how arrogantly the second wife acted in the mansion. It was completely irrelevant.
No one in the General's Mansion knew that Zheng Shi was an official.
Chu Shanjun and Chu Shanan turned pale and said:
"I pay my respects to Master Zheng. I hope you won't blame me."
The two men gnashed their teeth in hatred. Who would have known that this skinny and shriveled man would be an official appointed by the imperial court?
Uncle San was notoriously unpopular, and none of the ministers in the capital made friends with him.
What happened in the past two days? Did Third Uncle change his personality or did these ministers change their hearts? They all came to visit their house eagerly.
He just visited, but he didn't tell everyone his identity in advance. Did he forget the etiquette of being a guest in his own home?
The two of them said it reluctantly. Zheng Shi frowned fiercely. It seemed that in the eyes of these two young masters, it was still his fault.
He still needed General Chu's help, so for General Chu's sake he didn't bother with it and replied lightly.
"No problem."
Look at the expressions of these two young masters, they are very dissatisfied. They will cause General Chu a headache in the future.
Shen Zhao looked at the two of them with a cold face and said, "Why don't you retreat?"
How could Chu Shanjun and Chu Shan'an be willing to give up? They had already returned the jade pendants they often wore to their third aunt.
How could they obey if Uncle San didn't give them a piece?
"Uncle San, the jade pendant..."
As the two of them started to speak, Chen Zhao shouted coldly:
"I think you don't need to go to the National Academy. I sent you there to study so that you can learn knowledge and etiquette, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to your family, not to let you compete with others.
A rotten tree cannot be carved, so why don't you get off!"
Chu Shanjun and Chu Shan'an's faces turned pale.
It was the first time that Uncle San spoke harshly to them, and it was in front of an outsider.
Uncle San must have treated them this way because this outsider was here.
This person is really annoying. He came at this perfect time instead of earlier or later.
They all glared at Zheng Shi with reproach.
In their opinion, Zheng Shi was probably a general under his uncle's command, otherwise why would he not hold the two brothers accountable for their offense against him?
You must not dare!
The two were about to argue, but Chu Renjie, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"You two beasts are bringing shame to me. Why don't you get out of here?"
Chen Zhao ignored Chu Renjie's shouting and said to Zheng Shi, "Master Zheng, please."
Zheng Shi knew Chu Renjie. In the past two days, Chu Renjie's name had spread throughout Kyoto City. After all, he was the first filial son to send his mother in jail.
As the old saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too. These two guys are just like their father.
As soon as Shen Zhao left, Chu Shanjun and Chu Shan'an turned their attention to Chu Mu.
Since Uncle San didn't give them the jade pendant, of course they had to get it back from Aunt San.
The two of them walked up to Chu Mu with a cold face, as arrogant as ever.
He held his head high, looked at people with his nose raised, and said impatiently:
"Aunt San, why don't you return the jade pendant to us?"
As he said that, he reached out to take the jade pendant from Chu Mu's hand.
Chu Mu's face turned cold and he grabbed the hand that Chu Shanjun extended.
"Taking something without asking is stealing! Since I gave you this jade pendant, it's not wrong for me to take it back now.
What's more, you guys don't want to return it to me.
Your third uncle is right, all the books you have read over the years have been wasted.
You don't even have the slightest bit of etiquette, and you have no shame at all. You want to rob an elder like me, and you're not worthy of being a member of the Chu family."
Chu Shanjun's face turned red with shame. How dare Shen, that damn bitch, humiliate him in front of so many people?
Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted and be the only one in power when her grandmother was not at home?
Chu Shanjun raised his voice and said with some resentment: "Aunt San! This is our Chu family, and Uncle San's things belong to the Chu family!
As two brothers of the Chu family, we have a share of everything that belongs to the Chu family.
Since you married into the Chu family, you are also a member of the Chu family, and your things are also the Chu family's things, so why can't we take them?"
He said to Chu Shan'an, "Shan'an, why don't you go get our things!"
Chu Shan'an stepped forward and tried to snatch the jade pendant from Chu Mu's hand.
"This..." Zheng Shi stared at the farce not far away with wide eyes.
Just now, General Chu did not lead him away directly, but hid in the corner of the corridor.
Chen Zhao sighed and said, "Mr. Zheng, your family is unfortunate. Every family has its own problems. It's not just yours. My family is the same. My wife has suffered a lot with me."
"General, why don't you go out and help your ladyship? These two young masters need to be disciplined. They even dared to attack the elders. What bastards!"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
