How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 172 Unwilling, but too ashamed to say it

Eighteen was delighted to hear this. "Little niece, what do you want to write?"

"Qian's Residence. We'll change it to 'Top Scholar's Mansion' after you pass the imperial examination with top honors."

"I want to be a great general."

"Then let's change it to the General's Mansion."

"it is good."

After Qian Dahe found the wooden board, Shiba practiced on paper first, and only wrote on the wooden board after he was done.

Wu Niu couldn't help but praise, "Uncle, you wrote so well."

"Your uncle will teach you."

"Thank you, uncle."

"good."

Liu Niu: "Uncle, I want to learn from you too."

"Okay, who else wants to learn? Uncle will teach you."

Granny Tian leaned closer to Qian Laifu and whispered, "Like begets like. Da Niu and the others have studied for several more years than Shi Ba, but they can't write as well as Shi Ba."

Qian Laifu replied in a low voice, "Yes, my maternal grandfather used to be a high-ranking official. Maybe he can really bring back a top scholar for us after he turns eighteen."

"At eighteen, I wanted to be a great general."

“I asked the Duke of Jin, and he said that even a general can become the top scholar in the imperial examination.”

"That's daring."

Over here, the elderly couple watched their eighteen grandchildren practice writing while whispering to each other.

Meanwhile, Dong Laoqi and Xiao Gousheng were also whispering. "Isn't the Emperor being too good to you?"

The puppy nodded. "I've thought about it carefully, and the Emperor has no reason to harm us."

"But there's no reason for them to be so nice to us, is there?"

"Maybe he really has a crush on you."

"Are you looking for a fight?"

"Hehe... As long as he doesn't harm us, that's fine. As for why he's so good to us? The emperor's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Let's just play it by ear."

"it is good."

The next day, Xiao Gou Sheng and Dong Lao Qi took the three little bald boys to the outskirts of the city to welcome Master Dao Yi.

As soon as the three bald boys saw Master Daoyi, they rushed over and hugged his legs. "Master!" The three bald boys had all formally become his disciples.

Master Daoyi was quite pleased to see the three little bald boys. "What have you been learning these past few days?"

Eighteen: "We learned archery."

Nineteen: "We also learned how to raise horses. My grandfather said that if you want to ride a horse, you must first learn how to raise a horse."

20: "We also learned to write poetry. My father thought I was smarter than him and could write good poems. My grandmother and mother said my father was dreaming."

"Hahaha... So do you think writing poetry is difficult?"

"It's difficult. Even Grandpa and Brother Nineteen think it's difficult."

Eighteen and nineteen: "Mmm."

"Hahaha... Writing poetry requires talent."

What does that mean? She still wants to be the niece of the top scholar. "Grandmaster, do you know any great Confucian scholars? I wonder if we could have the three of them become their disciples?"

"You don't need to worry about that." The Emperor has probably already found someone. "Nineteen's grandfather will arrange it. Let's go."

"Okay. We made a plaque for the door, when would you like to hang it up?"

When do you want to hang up?

"I want to hang up today."

"Then hang up."

"..." So casual? "Don't you need to pick an auspicious day?"

"Today is an auspicious day." With you and Shiba here, every day is auspicious. "You, your grandfather, Shiba, your uncle, and your cousin will hang it together."

"I don't need to, do I?" This kind of thing is usually done by the men in the family.

"Didn't you say it was a haunted house?"

"..."

After retrieving the gate plaque, everyone went to Prince An's Mansion. The gate plaque had already been removed. Master Daoyi had Xiaogousheng and the others hang it up before going inside. While hanging it, Master Daoyi told Xiaogousheng and Shiba to each hang one on each side, while the others could do as they pleased.

They had just entered when the Duke of Jin arrived with five hundred elite soldiers. These soldiers were not only armed, but also mounted on horseback.

The little dog leaned closer to Dong Laoqi and whispered, "You're almost overshadowing the Empress."

"What does this have to do with me? Didn't the Emperor give you all of this?"

"Others will think I'm just a front."

Dong Laoqi: "..."

"Be careful when you go in and out in the future."

"understood."

The three little bald boys' eyes lit up instantly. "How impressive!"

The Duke of Jin dismounted. "Qian Gousheng, I've brought the men to you. From now on, they are under your command. Dismount! Bow!"

"Yes, sir!" The elite soldiers dismounted and saluted Xiaogou Sheng. "Greetings, Miss Qian Si!"

The little dog smiled. "Hello, come in."

"Yes!" The elite soldiers led their horses and followed the Duke of Jin inside.

Everyone was incredibly envious, especially the three little bald boys.

The three little bald boys, who were originally sticking to Master Daoyi, immediately abandoned Master Daoyi and ran to Xiaogousheng's side after hearing about these elite soldiers.

Eighteen: "Little niece, how do you have so many soldiers?"

Nineteen: "Auntie, I also want to have this many soldiers."

Twenty: "Auntie, I want to too."

The little dog puffed out its chest proudly. "The Emperor gave it to me; I'm going to do things for the Emperor."

Three little bald boys: "We also want to serve the Emperor."

"You should learn your skills well. You are not yet capable of handling things on your own. Once you are capable, the Emperor will assign you tasks and give you troops."

"We must study hard."

"Good. You will definitely be able to be like me in the future, or even better than me."

"Yes." The three little bald boys nodded emphatically.

The three little bald boys followed the little dog Sheng to the training ground.

The other boys went along too. Boys all like these things.

The five hundred people were divided into five teams.

The Duke of Jin summoned the five captains. "Gousheng, are you going to take charge yourself, or choose another one from the five?"

The little dog smiled. "I hired someone. If these five can beat the person I hired, I'll choose one of them. If they can't, then they'll be under the command of the person I hired."

"Okay. Should we go one by one or all at once?"

"Come at me all at once." These people definitely didn't want to listen to her.

The five squad leaders thought to themselves: "What a boastful tone! We'll definitely show this little girl what a real expert is later."
The Duke of Jin was somewhat surprised. "Are you sure?"

"determine."

"OK then."

The puppy waved.

A man wearing a cloak and a mask flew over from a distance.

Five squad leaders: Still wearing a mask? We'll smash your mask in a minute.

The man borrowed a knife from a soldier. "Here you go."

Bring it on. You think you can take on five people at once with your small frame?

An hour later, all five squad leaders were beaten to the ground by the man.

The five squad leaders were speechless. "..." Aren't the Qian family just peasants? How did they manage to hire such a powerful person?
The five men got up from the ground and bowed to the man. "Brother, your martial arts are superb, we admire you. May I ask your surname?"

Old Dong took off his cloak and mask.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The five squad leaders lay down on the ground again.

"Ahem!" Little Dog Sheng coughed twice. "Well, we did this so you wouldn't be distracted. And what's this? From now on, you'll be under my great-aunt's care. Are you willing?"

I didn't want to, but I was too ashamed to say it.

All five squad leaders looked towards the Duke of Jin.
