Chapter 36 It's just that you don't have the ability
Mid-Autumn Festival, offering sacrifices to the moon.
In Yun'an City, lanterns are hung everywhere.
In the bustling Dongshi City, many vendors are selling moon **** and sweet-scented osmanthus wine made by themselves.
Just walking through Dongshi, you can smell a fragrance.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shen family is also extremely lively.
In the past years, the generals of the Shen family who led troops abroad only returned at the end of the year.
This year when the Mid-Autumn Festival returns, it is natural to make it as lively as New Year's Eve.
The entire Shen residence was hung with lanterns, and the Wutong courtyard was also cleaned up.
At the time of application, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the mansion.
The Shen family knew that this was the return of the old Linggong of the Shen family.
At the gate of the Shen residence, the old matriarch has already led the Shen family to wait here.
Seeing the Shen family's old Linggong coming on horseback, the old matriarch immediately went up to meet him.
Shen Han stood in the crowd, looking at the old Mr. Ling of the Shen family.
In terms of age, he is quite a few years older than the old matriarch.
But Old Linggong is still in a proud figure, and there are not many signs of aging.
This is the benefit brought by the improvement of martial arts, and the physical life span is much higher than that of ordinary people.
A group of people saluted the old Mr. Ling of the Shen family, and they knew exactly who was in charge of the Shen family.
Being favored by the old lady is far inferior to being favored by the old man of the Shen family.
Everyone moved out of the way, and Old Linggong returned to the mansion wearing a suit of armor.
Following Old Linggong are several accompanying lieutenants.
The three sons of Lao Linggong did not come back together, so they should still be stationed at the eastern border.
The most important people have arrived, and today's mid-autumn festival is about to begin.
Indus Courtyard, everyone sat down according to the arrangement.
This Wutong courtyard is the most luxurious courtyard of the Shen family, except for the banquets that the Shen family will attend, Shen Han has no chance to step into it.
I looked at my location, no surprises, it was still in the most remote corner of the courtyard.
Sitting in the corner of the courtyard, Shen Han didn't care.
I wasn't liked by the top management of the Shen family, so I didn't want to be looked down upon by them.
After a while, the old man of the Shen family, Mr. Ling, changed into his ordinary clothes before stepping into the Wutong courtyard.
Since he is in a high position, looking at his descendants, Old Master Shen's expression is as usual, but he doesn't see anything special.
After Mr. Ling of the Shen family entered the courtyard, everyone became quiet.
Old Master Ling of the Shen family waved his hand, signaling his servants to seat his lieutenants.
After the arrangements were made, he began to speak to the Shen family.
Shen Han looked at Shen Qingshan, the old master of the Shen family in front of him.
His expression is fierce, and he can feel the bleakness that has been battle-tested at a glance.
After listening briefly, it was no different from what he said in previous years.
They all exhort the children of the Shen family to study hard, work hard to improve, and occasionally mention a few things about the battlefield.
The young people of the Shen family sounded a bit boring, but they still pretended to be very serious, and tried their best to make a good impression on the old man of the Shen family.
After a long speech, Shen Qingshan called everyone to open the table.
Tasting a few mouthfuls of dishes is the highlight of today.
Just like every New Year's Eve, when the old man of the Shen family came back, he would check on the cultivation of the young children of the clan.
In the past, in order to cope with the assessment at the end of the year, the children of the Shen family would work hard for two or three months.
This year’s mid-autumn school exam, it should have scared many young masters and ladies.
"It's rare for little Ao'er to be at home this Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will start showing you, how about it?"
Shen Qingshan had a smile on his face, seeing that Shen Ao not only liked the old matriarch, but even the old Linggong of the Shen family also had a preference for him.
Hearing what Shen Qingshan said, Mrs. He smiled and glanced at Shen Ao.
"Landslide!"
As soon as Shen Ao's words fell, a phantom of a mountain fell instantly.
Under the phantom, there is an incense burner, which was directly crushed to pieces.
This is the way of literati practitioners to hurt the enemy, follow the law with their words, and adapt the law with their will.
With just a few words, one can create phantom images of mountains and suppress opponents.
Shen Ao is only at the eighth rank now, if he cultivates more diligently in the future, he can create a phantom of a mountain.
When the phantom falls, it is not an incense burner that will be crushed, but the whole yard will be crushed to pieces.
"Okay! The young master is capable!"
"With such abilities at such a young age, he is worthy of being the good grandson of Master Hou."
The lieutenants sitting on the right were full of praise.
Shen Qingshan's face was also full of joy, it is indeed commendable to have such strength at such a young age.
In the current generation of the Shen family, there was already a Shen Ye, but it was unexpected that there would be another Shen Ao.
Thinking of these, Shen Qingshan felt much more at ease.
"Good performance, grandpa gave this sword to Xiao Ao'er, use it to play with, if you don't like it, go to your grandma to exchange for whatever you want~"
Shen Qingshan's face was extremely bright, and the old lady of the Shen family beside him was also very happy.
The two of them have a preference for Shen Ao.
Of course, in the eyes of the two of them, Shen Ao's performance deserves to be favored.
After Shen Ao went down, Shen Qingshan began to point out other younger generations to show off.
Genius is rare, and Shen Qingshan actually had expectations in his heart.
Shen Qingshan did not have too strict requirements on the performance of other young grandchildren.
He already has Shen Ye and Shen Ao, and he has successors. The other younger generations are less likely to cause troubles, and by honestly raising children, they are making contributions to the Shen family.
Master Shen's several performances in a row were all a bit lame.
It seems to have the strength of the eighth rank, but the majesty it displays is far from it.
The lieutenants around looked at this, and they were still praising, but they were not as sincere as they were praising Shen Ao.
Once everyone else had finished showing off, old man Ling of the Shen family seemed to think of Shen Han.
"Shen Han, are you here today?"
Hearing his name called, Shen Han got up and walked forward.
Walking in front of people, Shen Han still kept his etiquette as usual, saluting to Shen's parents and elders, there was no flaw in his etiquette.
It's just that the old Linggong of the Shen family in front of him is still frowning.
"Are you wearing these to come to our Shen family's Mid-Autumn Festival feast?"
Shen Qingshan's rhetorical question made the atmosphere a little tense.
Shen Han does have some money now, the prefect Xu gave him a hundred taels of silver last time, so he can afford to buy luxurious clothes.
But Shen Han was unwilling to buy it.
Prefect Xu gave himself the money to improve his practice, but he didn't give it to himself to enjoy.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Han, waiting to see him get embarrassed.
Mrs. Yun hesitated for a moment, got up and walked out, and saluted old Mr. Ling of the Shen family.
"If you go back to the old Linggong, the government will ask Shen Han to be self-reliant, and you will have to work to earn meals by yourself, and you don't have any more money to buy clothes."
Mrs. Yun defended Shen Han, but it didn't seem to help.
"Letting you be self-reliant is the reason why you dress so poorly?
Back then when your big brother Shen Ye went to the capital alone, wasn’t he also self-reliant?
But why did he dress so poorly? "
Shen Qingshan looked at Shen Han with a hint of disgust.
"Learn from your elder brother, the way you are today is just because you are incapable!"
Didn't show any achievements in practice, the old man of the Shen family, Mr. Ling, first gave Shen Han an evaluation.
No ability.
