How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 195 You just want a puppet

"Pfft!" Granny Tian was amused by Old Man Dong. "Alright, alright, peach blossoms are a gift from God. You're not comparing yourself to peach blossoms, you're comparing yourself to God. How can a person compare to God?"

Zhao: "That's right."

Zhang said, "If you don't confront Peach Blossom head-on, she might not be able to beat you."

Ms. Xu: "Yes, yes."

Eighteen: "Auntie, you're the elder, you have to be more generous. Sister, if Auntie doesn't stand up to you head-on, you can't beat her."

Nineteen, twenty: "Mmm."

Eighteen: "Auntie, fight her again, so she won't think that she can become a general just by relying on brute force."

Nineteen, twenty: "Yes, yes, yes."

Old Dong didn't want to.

However, Granny Tian and Madam Zhao both felt that what Shiba said made a lot of sense, and they all urged him to compete with Lu Taohua again.

Seeing that Dong Laoqi didn't seem to care, Shiba said, "Auntie, are you scared?"

Nineteen: "Definitely not."

20: "Great-aunt, go!"

Old Master Dong glared at the three bald boys. He wanted to tell them, "If you're so good, then you do it," but Lu Taohua hadn't practiced martial arts before, and he didn't want her to get hurt if she lost control. "Ahem, why would your auntie be afraid? Come on."

"I...I'll use half my strength."

"No need." He absolutely wouldn't let this black spade hit him this time. Too humiliating. "Come on."

"it is good."

As soon as Xiao Gou Sheng returned, he heard a chorus of "Good!" shouts. Following the sound, he saw Dong Laoqi and Lu Taohua sparring, while her elite soldiers cheered "Good!" on the sidelines.

The little dog, Sheng, also curiously squeezed in. Dong Laoqi was as light as a swallow, and Lu Taohua was as strong as an ox. For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.
The little dog tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him. "How long have they been fighting?"

"It's been more than an hour."

The little dog was a bit surprised. Lu Taohua was truly gifted; she had been fighting for so long without getting tired. "Auntie, use hidden weapons. The enemy won't be so obedient when fighting her."

Dong Laoqi immediately took out his hidden weapon.

bump!
Lu Taohua's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.

call……

Old Dong breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. If they had continued, he would have been humiliated again.

The elite soldiers looked at Little Dog Sheng with a mournful expression. Meaning: How could you do this?
The puppy puffed out its little chest. "What are you looking at? You've all been looking for an hour and haven't had enough? Well, I'm planning to set off the day after tomorrow. You all go back and prepare. This trip will last at least three years, and possibly as long as five."

The elite soldiers: Finally, it's time to set off. Finally, we don't have to eat and sleep anymore! "Yes, sir!"

The three little bald boys were also very happy. They had been wanting to go out and play for a long time. No, not to go out and play, but to go and do errands for the Emperor.

The three little bald boys said, "We're going to get ready too."

After saying that, the three little bald boys ran away.

Zhao didn't want the puppy, Sheng, to leave. "Why are we suddenly setting off?"

Granny Tian didn't want the little dog Sheng to leave either, but... but the Emperor wouldn't just give them the house for free. "Why so suddenly? We've been preparing for this for so long! Um... let your grandfather go with you."

"Okay." If she didn't let her grandfather come along, her grandmother wouldn't be able to sleep. "I want to bring Wu Niu and Liu Niu with me this time."

The first four oxen were either preparing for marriage or studying for the imperial examinations. Only the last two oxen had the time. Furthermore, the first four oxen were of average intelligence and started school late, limiting their future prospects. The last two oxen were different. Although not prodigies, they were still smarter than most people.

After careful consideration, Xiaogousheng decided to bring Wuniu and Liuniu with him.

Zhang was delighted to hear this. Wu Niu and Liu Niu were her sons. "Thank you so much, Second Aunt." "No need, no need." Although Wu Niu and Liu Niu weren't her biological brothers, in ancient times, they were considered family members. "They always gave in to me when they were little, never fighting with me for eggs. It's only right that I take them out to see the world now. I'm their older sister."

"Hahahaha..." Zhang couldn't help but laugh a few times. "When they were little, they looked forward to you and your grandfather arguing about changing your name every day. Whenever you argued about changing your name, your grandfather would ask your grandmother to make you an egg soup. Your grandmother was afraid they would be envious, so she would make them a bowl of sugar water, and they were so happy."

Even the little dog, Sheng, remembered. "Grandma, can I change my name now?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Tian immediately said, "No, you should give up on that idea."

Sigh! I knew it would turn out like this.

Wei Chenglin was about to leave when he suddenly saw his son return. "Why are you back? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back until dark?"

"I'm coming back to pack my things; I'm going to do errands for the Emperor."

"Pfft!" Wei Chenglin laughed as soon as he heard that. "How old are you to be serving the Emperor? Even your father isn't qualified to serve the Emperor."

Twenty wanted to say it was because you're stupid. But this was her own father. "I'm telling the truth. I'm going to get busy now. You go have some fun."

After saying that, Twenty ran away.

Something about that sounds weird.

Wei Chenglin walked outside, lost in thought. Only after he reached the outside did he realize he should have said that to Twenty. "You brat, you talk like I'm your son."

Meanwhile, Nineteen also went back to pack her things.

Jiang Ruiheng was somewhat surprised when he found out. After confirming it was true, Jiang Ruiheng selected a few people for Nineteen to take with him. In addition, Jiang Ruiheng also told Nineteen what precautions to take when going out.
"Remember?"

"remember."

Jiang Ruiheng patted Nineteen's shoulder. "Dad's waiting for you to come back and tell Dad what you've learned."

"it is good."

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Gou Sheng took Shi Ba into the palace.

The Emperor was delighted to hear that the Eighteenth Prince had arrived. "Let them in."

"Yes."

A moment later, the puppy Sheng and Shiba came in. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Get up. Have you eaten? If not, I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare something for you."

Eighteen: "Your Majesty, we have eaten. Your Majesty, my little niece is about to set off. My little niece said that although we are very capable, we are too young, and others may not believe us."

"so what?"

"So we would like to ask you to send us an adult, but this adult cannot give orders arbitrarily."

The Emperor understood. "So you just want a puppet, huh?"

Eighteen: "Hehe..."

Little Dog Sheng: "Um? This person's status can't be too low."

"Have you already chosen someone?"

18: "What do you think of the heir apparent of the Duke of Wei?"

Xiaogou Sheng: "With the Duke of Wei around, no one dares to underestimate the Duke of Wei's heir."

"Hahahaha..." The Emperor laughed a few times. "You guys certainly know how to pick people." That kid has status, but he doesn't like power.

Wei Chenglin was having tea with a friend when he was suddenly dragged into the palace by the Imperial Guards. Wei Chenglin was nearly scared to death. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Your Majesty, my father... my father has defected to the enemy?"

The Emperor: "..." This kid is so cowardly, he's perfect as a puppet. "No, I just remembered that you're not young anymore, it's time for you to do something serious. I'm planning to appoint you to an official position."

Give him an official position?!
Wei Chenglin wanted to ask the Emperor if there was a mistake, but he didn't dare. "Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty."
