How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 196 Don't you think this is better?
Lady Wei, the Duchess of Wei, and Lady Kong Luoyi, the wife of the heir apparent, were packing things for Twenty when Wei Chenglin walked in, looking dazed. “Mother, Madam, the Emperor has granted me an official position.”

Kong Luoyi laughed upon hearing this. "What are you talking about? The Emperor knows you perfectly well."

Lady Wei: "Go play somewhere else, we're busy here."

"It's true, the Emperor really did grant me an official position."

Lady Wei: "I understand, go have some fun."

“Mother, the Emperor has indeed granted me an official position,” Wei Chenglin said again.

The Duchess of Wei didn't even look up. "Why are you so annoying? Let's go, let's go."

"..."

When he came home on the 20th, he saw his father standing blankly in the yard. "Dad, what are you doing?"

"The Emperor has granted me an official position."

"Congratulations."

Neither your grandmother nor your mother believed it.

Twenty thought for a moment. "I remember there was a written document for bestowing an official title. Do you have one?"

"Have."

"Then show it to them and they'll believe it, right?"

"...Um? Father is too surprised, I didn't think of it for a moment."

He was at a loss for words. Luckily, his mother was quite clever. Otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble.

The Duchess of Wei and Kong Luoyi were surprised to see the document.

Kong Luoyi: "Mother, did my father do a good deed?"

Lady Wei: "Your father has also made many contributions in the past."

That's true. "Then why did the Emperor appoint him as an imperial censor?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked at Wei Chenglin.

Wei Chenglin: "Don't look at me, I don't know either, I'm still confused."

Twenty chubby little hands were raised. "I know."

Wei Chenglin: "Stop joking. How old are you? What do you know?"

Lady Wei: "Shut up. Twenty, you say it."

“We were going out to do errands for the Emperor, but my aunt said we were too young and needed an adult to support us. My aunt thought my father was the most suitable, so she went to talk to the Emperor, and after hearing it, the Emperor appointed my father to an official position.”

Lady Wei understood. "So that's how it is? I was wondering why the Emperor suddenly decided to send your father to be an imperial censor. Imperial censors also have the responsibility of supervising local areas."

Kong Luoyi: "Husband, you just need to be a good face for your business."

"Wait a minute. Twenty, you just said you were going out to run errands for the Emperor?"

"Yes, that's right. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"I thought you were talking nonsense."

"How old am I to still be talking nonsense?"

Lady Wei: "That's right. Didn't you see your wife and I packing Twenty's luggage?"

Kong Luoyi: "Husband, do you know what you're going there to do?"

"I know, it's for appearances."

Kong Luoyi was relieved. "Just think of it as going on a trip."

“I have no interest in being an official. I was actually worried about how to be an official. Now it's all good, I just have to sit there.”

Sun Luoyi: "You can't just sit there. If the Twenties encounter any problems, you should help them too. Just don't give them unnecessary orders."

Wei Chenglin felt that if they couldn't handle it, he certainly couldn't either. "I understand, don't worry."

On the third day, after breakfast, Xiao Gousheng led his people out of the capital. Xiao Gousheng didn't want to make too much of a commotion, so apart from the Jiang family, the Wei family, the Emperor, and Consort Tao, no one else noticed that Xiao Gousheng was leading a group of people out of the capital.

With nothing else to do, Wei Chenglin took a look at the members of their team. After looking at them, Wei Chenglin fell silent.

Their group not only consisted of a thousand elite soldiers, but also a highly virtuous monk, a divine physician, three respected masters, and twelve masked men. Those twelve masked men were clearly skilled in martial arts.

During dinner that evening, Wei Chenglin couldn't help but ask, "Qian Gousheng, why did you need to drag me into this when you have so many people?"

Gou Sheng placed a piece of food on Wei Chenglin's plate. "Of course, it's because we can't do without you. Think about it, if the local officials don't cooperate, can I beat them up? Or can I arrest them?"

Wei Chenglin thought about it and realized it was true. Although he lacked ability, his father was. As long as his father remained in power, officials in various regions would have to give him some face. Besides, he currently held the title of Censor. "I thought I was useless."

"How could that be? You're incredibly useful. Right? Twenty?"

"Yes." Twenty, imitating the little dog Sheng, put a piece of meat on Wei Chenglin's plate. "Dad, don't look down on yourself."

Wei Chenglin ruffled the twenty-year-old boy's bald head. "You brat."

"Fragrant Father".

"Hahahaha..." Wei Chenglin was amused by his son.

While eating, Master Daoyi thought to himself: You silly boy. If I asked her, she would also say that I am very useful and that she can't do without me.

After finishing their meal, Little Dog Sheng led Five Oxen, Six Oxen, and three little bald boys to find the teacher to study.

Wei Chenglin felt ashamed seeing how diligent his son was at such a young age. He had always wanted to be a poet, but he had never put in the hard work.

Many people died fighting on the border, and conditions were harsh. Gousheng decided to first circle the border before venturing further inland.

The next day, when Wei Chenglin got up, he saw Dong Laoqi leading Xiaogou Sheng, three little bald men, two calves, and Guo Dazhuang practicing martial arts in the courtyard of the post station.

Wei Chenglin felt even more ashamed.

That evening, when Xiaogou and the others went to the teacher to study, Wei Chenglin followed them.

Ten days later, as the little dog was on its way, it suddenly heard someone call out, "Qian Si Guniang".

The puppy was still puzzled. "Let's go see what's going on?"

"Yes."

A moment later, the soldier who went to investigate returned on horseback. "Miss, it's Dean Nangong and Young Master Xi. Dean Nangong says he wants to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Xiaogou Sheng called out to her grandfather and walked over to the back of the Eighteen Dynasties procession.

Dean Nangong saw this and led Xi Huaizhou over to greet them. "Hello, Brother Qian."

Qian Laifu was both nervous and excited. "Hello, Dean. Hello, Dean."

Xiaogou Sheng and Shiba also greeted Dean Nangong.

Xi Huaizhou looked somewhat dejected. "Hello, Grandpa Qian."

"Okay, okay. Just tell us what you need, and we'll definitely take care of it."

Dean Nangong: "I heard from your wife that you are planning to gather together the orphans of fallen soldiers who are unable to survive. I'd like to bring Zhou'er with me to do this. What do you think?"

Sure! Of course! However, out of habit, Qian Laifu still looked at his little granddaughter.

The little dog immediately understood why Dean Nangong was doing this. "Grandpa Nangong, if we agree to your request, the students of Nangong Academy will definitely hate us. How about this? We'll take your grandson away, and you can go back to being your dean."

"This……"

Looking into Dean Nangong's eyes, Xiaogou Sheng said, "Grandpa Nangong, don't you think this is better?" Xiaogou Sheng felt that Xi Huaizhou probably didn't want to see either the Xi family or the Nangong family.

Dean Nangong was taken aback for a moment. "Then let's do it your way. Brother Qian, I'm entrusting Zhou'er to you."

"it's okay no problem."

Dean Nangong exchanged a few more polite words and then left. Before leaving, he told Xi Huaizhou to write to him when he had time.

As soon as Dean Nangong left, Xiaogou Sheng looked at Xi Huaizhou. "Everyone here has a task. Are you raising horses or cooking?" When you're busy, there's no time for sentimentality.

Xi Huaizhou: "..." He had never raised horses or cooked before. "Is there any other work?"

"Gone."

"..."
