Chapter 353 No self-awareness
Shen Sanfeng then remembered that he had adopted Gu Chan as his godson for so long, but he had never told her about the specific situation of his grandchildren.
With a long sigh, he said with a wry smile, "Before Shen Yao, he had an eldest wife. After the eldest wife gave birth to a pair of twins, she died of hemorrhage. Now Shen Yao's mother, To be precise, it should be the second wife of the Shen family."
"That's it! I always thought that Shen Yao's mother was the eldest wife of the Shen family!" Gu Chan said with relief.
After saying that, she glanced at Shen Wuji, with the word disgust written all over her face.
This piece of shit, after his eldest wife passed away, not only did he marry a second wife, but he also hooked up with the maid next to him, and the maid gave birth to his third son, Shen Yang. Not only did he treat others badly, He was also disliked in various ways, even Shen Yang was disliked.
This kind of man not only has no sense of responsibility, but also treats feelings like child's play. He is a complete scumbag.
If it weren’t for recognizing Shen Sanfeng as his godfather, Gu Chan would have killed him long ago.
Shen Sanfeng added, "These twins have been smart since they were young. When they were seven years old, I sent them to Qixing Mountain to learn arts. Until now, more than ten years later, they are still They haven’t come down yet!”
“Then godfather, it’s time to call them all back. It’s also time for me to meet my eldest nephew and niece,” Gu Chan said with a smile.
Shen Sanfeng nodded noncommittally.
Then he no longer hesitated and immediately called a servant and ordered him to go to Qixing Mountain to deliver the message.
After the servant agreed, he quickly went to pack his things, and soon rode away on a fast horse.
Gu Chan did not mention the matter for the time being, and instead said, "Godfather, now that the border has been recovered, the Shen family's property and fields over there have also been taken back. You have to quickly arrange for someone to guard it. You have to keep the ancestral property, otherwise if it is occupied by others over time, the Shen family will suffer a great loss."
"Wuji, Shen Yao, you two, father and son, will bring a group of family members with you. Go back to the border to protect your ancestral property!" Shen Sanfeng made a decisive decision.
The father and son are incompetent. Letting them go back to guard their ancestral property is the best result.
And to put it bluntly, even if they lose the family, at least they still have old man Shen Sanfeng looking after them. Even if they are allowed to lose, the entire Shen family will not be completely defeated.
But the father and son were not happy about this.
In their eyes, they feel good about themselves. They feel that relying on their ability to return to the border to guard their ancestral property is simply overkill.
No, Shen Wuji was the first to complain, "Dad, I won't go back to the border. I am a man of great talent. How can I go back to a remote place to guard my ancestral property? Aren't you burying my talents?" ”
"Grandpa, my father is right. I also want to serve as an official in the court and rise to prominence. If you ask me to go back and guard my ancestral property, I won't go." Shen Yao also said calmly.
Shen Sanfeng was immediately furious with them.
It’s okay for the father and son to be incompetent. They are so arrogant that they can’t even tell how much they weigh. How can they not make people angry?
Gu Chan saw that the old man was trembling with anger and even a little speechless. She simply laughed and said, "Since you have ideals and ambitions, I think this Zhongyuan City is too small. It’s not conducive to your performance at all.”
“Second Uncle’s words make sense,” Shen Yao said with a smile.
"Well, this time the emperor sent me to Jiangnan to raise money to help the border. I happen to be short of manpower. Why don't you two, father and son, follow me to show off their talents? If we can raise money by then, we can solve the border problem. "Trouble, let me tell you your merits again. The Emperor will be very happy and reward you with an official position. Isn't that a trivial matter?" Gu Chan said slyly. Going to Jiangnan to raise money this time is a hard job for her, and the worst-case scenario is that if she fails to do something good, she will lose her head. Since the father and son are so ignorant, it is better to let them go with them. After a taste of the pain, let’s see if they still dare to show off like this.
Shen Sanfeng knew that Gu Chan would definitely be up to no good when she went to Jiangnan this time.
But he had to admit that this was indeed the best opportunity to train the father and son. If they could not prove themselves in Jiangnan, then they would have to go to the border to guard their ancestral property, and they would not make any progress in their lives.
Of course, he is also worried that the father and son are not capable enough and will only cause trouble for Gu Chan in the past. In the end, Gu Chan will not be able to complete the task and will lose his head.
So you can imagine how tangled he is in his heart at this moment.
Looking back at Shen Wuji and Shen Yao, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time. Instead, they felt that this was a great opportunity to rise to prominence.
Shen Wuji immediately agreed and said, "Okay, second brother, we, father and son, will accompany you on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River this time."
"That's right, that's right, isn't it just for you? The emperor is going to Jiangnan to raise some money? It's not a big deal. We will definitely help you complete the task. I just hope that when the second uncle comes to pay the bills, he can say a few good words for us in front of the emperor. "Shen Yaoyi. said with an excited face.
"That's for sure, we are all a family, and I will definitely put in a good word for you." Gu Chan said with a bad smile.
The father and son immediately laughed from ear to ear.
Gu Chan didn't want to say any more, looked at Shen Sanfeng and said, "Godfather, I'll go back first. When my nephew and niece come back later, you can send someone to notify me. Just give them a shout, and I will come over to test them."
"Then where are you going now?" Shen Sanfeng asked.
"I went to the Central Plains Camp, just in time to meet the newly appointed general sent by the emperor." Gu Chan said.
Shen Sanfeng's face suddenly turned solemn, "You will arrive at the Central Plains camp later, so be careful. I heard that this new general has a bad temper. Be careful not to offend him. .”
"I just heard someone mention it on the way back, and I don't know who the new general is." Gu Chan said curiously.
“He is the direct descendant of the Crown Prince. It can be said that he was completely trained by the Crown Prince. And you are the Ninth Prince’s son. You are also the adopted brother of the Ninth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince of Tiancang Kingdom. , He will definitely not give you a good look," Shen Sanfeng reminded.
Gu Chan was silent for a while.
Sure enough, as long as you are tainted with the royal family, it will not be a good thing.
Before she traveled back in time, the ancient world she lived in had a history of nine sons competing for the throne, fighting to the death for the throne. But now that she has traveled through time in this world, it is not the same.
Originally, the Emperor of Tiancang Kingdom had many sons, sixteen in total. If so many sons were to fight, it would probably be much more ruthless than the nine sons competing for the legitimate title.
"Gulu!"
Thinking of this, Gu Chan couldn't help but swallow saliva down her throat, feeling a little scared.
