Chapter 998 Changbai’s wedding!

"Mom, that means the sixth sister is in charge of the house now?"

"Well, it does give her an advantage. You said your father is also true. Letting a concubine take charge of family affairs is simply..."

Hua Lan saw that her mother was speaking without restraint, so she quickly spoke up and interrupted in a low voice.

"Hey, mother, don't say this nonsense. My sixth sister was raised by my grandmother!"

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain. I'm almost mad at Lin Sushuang. Minglan, the boss, is much better than Lin Qige~"

There were so many people present at the scene, and his son-in-law Yuan Wenshao was sitting there. Wang Ruofu only told half of what happened. After all, family scandals should not be made public.

She and her sister secretly loaned loan sharks and secretly subsidized her parents' family. How could she have the nerve to let others know about such a scandal~

Otherwise, Wang Ruofu likes Sheng Hualan's daughter the most. When the mother and daughter are watching the fun and listening to the gossip, they seem to be carved out of the same mold.

Fortunately, when Sheng Hong learned that his daughter was back, he came over from the front hall to have a look. The two of them didn't know how long they would continue talking.

"Zhongxuan is here!"

"Father-in-law~"

When what happened last time, not only did Sheng Hong feel embarrassed, but Yuan Wenshao also didn't feel too happy about it. The two of them didn't say much after saying hello.

The mother and daughter were chatting in full swing over there, and Yuan Wenshao was also talking to Chang Bai, who was about to get married. This brother-in-law was very important now, even though he was only an eighth-rank concubine in the Hanlin Academy.

But it is estimated that it will not take many years. With his reputation in the top two ranks and the connections in his family, he is expected to surpass his father-in-law, who is from the fifth rank.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't thanked you properly yet. I really like the bay red horse sent by someone~"

"That's good. Your wedding will be held in two days. If we have time, let's go play polo. Then let me learn your skills!"

The two of them were chatting happily, and Sheng Hong, who was sitting next to them, wanted to interrupt.

"Zhongxuan, Hua'er is pregnant again now, so we really shouldn't go back and forth~"

"What my father said is true. My eldest sister is very heavy now, so she really shouldn't travel all the way!" Chang Bai also agreed.

Yuan Wenshao felt a little baffled. Isn't this Lao Sheng looking for something to say?

But he still replied: "Uh...father-in-law, I really can't defeat Hua Lan. She has a deep relationship with Changbai sister and brother, so she has to bring her children with her!"

"That's true. My Hua'er and Changbai have always had a very close relationship since they were young. When we were in our hometown of Youyang, Changwu was very envious of his second brother for having a good sister~"

Hearing what Lao Sheng said, Yuan Wenshao finally understood. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and talked a lot in a roundabout way. He also had some thoughts when writing.

And here, when Sheng Hong just finished speaking, he kept looking at his son-in-law, and his eyes were somewhat evasive. He had no choice but to do so.

When the eldest brother from his hometown wrote to him, although he had never mentioned Chang Wu, he felt very sorry. After all, the matter was not handled well, or it could be said that it was entirely due to his own reasons that his nephew was delayed.

In fact, he had dragged a lot of people along before, but most of his connections were among the civil servants, and the official positions in Beijing were so small that it didn't cost much to do such a small thing.

So in the final analysis, it is better to work under the son-in-law, so that the future is guaranteed, otherwise that little captain will probably not be able to get an official position in this life.

"Hey, look at my brain. I have been so busy that I forgot about it during this period. Just ask Brother Changwu to go to Yuzhou to find me before you turn back!"

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Wenshao agreed, because even if he threw everything out and ignored the relationship between his father-in-law and his wife, he had received many gifts from Sheng Wei over the years.

Sheng Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face again, and they continued chatting. The direct relatives talked about their feelings for a while, and then everyone went to the old lady's Shou'an Hall. Here, the children of common concubines, Chang Feng, Mo Lan, and Ming Lan, were already here.

"Big sister, big brother-in-law~"

……

The wedding day arrived in a few days, and the Sheng Mansion was bustling with gongs and drums. Early in the morning, the central door of the Sheng family was opened to welcome guests from all directions.

Although the family status of the Sheng family is not very high, Sheng Hong has been an official in these years, and because of his fast-paced and Buddhist-like character, he has made many friends among his colleagues.

Moreover, Changbai's grandfather was Mrs. Wang, and he had many disciples and former officials. Now he is married to a girl from the Hai family, so many people came to the wedding banquet.

It was bustling inside and out, and to show the importance given to the bride, the entire alley was decorated with red cloth.

Most of the weddings in this dynasty were arranged in the evening, and it was almost time to meet. Although Yuan Wenshao was already married and could not be a guest, he still went with his brother-in-law to welcome the bride.

According to custom, the mother's family has to block the door, which means that they are reluctant to let go of the woman. However, the Hai family is a scholarly family, and relatives are quite polite when they make things difficult for her.

"Brother-in-law, you are a second-class Jinshi, so please take advantage of today's great joy and write a poem~"

"Okay, come here, I will serve you with pen and ink~"

For some lyrics and articles, this is no problem for Changbai. Otherwise, if he can't even pass this test, the officials will have to wonder if he cheated if they knew about it.

He easily passed the customs and picked up the bride. The people from the Hai family carrying the dowry followed behind and returned to the Sheng family before dusk. After that, Yuan Wenshao's work was completed and he went to find his wife to hide away for some time.

As the eldest sister, Hua Lan naturally could not lose the face of her mother's family. She was wearing a light blue dress and her hair was tied up with a silver hairpin. She looked dignified and steady.

Originally, she was supposed to help out, and she had this intention herself, but after all, she was pregnant, so Mrs. Wang refused to agree.

For this reason, someone was specially sent to explain to the Hai family, meaning that there was indeed a reason for the incident, and the eldest aunt had no intention of giving the new daughter-in-law power.

Yuan Wenshao also had nothing to do, so he took a handful of melon seeds and ate them. Looking at the dowry that the Hai family had been carrying in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Ho!"

"Madam, this Hai family is really impressive. I guess they can rank high in the capital~"

"My siblings' families have been noble for generations, and there are elders who have served as officials in the past generations. The bride's father, Mr. Hai, is now the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, and I heard that he will be sent out as a transfer envoy soon. For this reason, I got married in a hurry. ~"

Hua Lan looked at the dowry, and actually felt a little envious in her heart.

After that, the couple continued to chat. It was almost two quarters of an hour over there, and the dowry hadn't been finished yet.

Yuan Wenshao truly felt that if the Hai family had not been extremely picky and had a rule that a man in his forties could not take a concubine without a wife, it would not have been his brother-in-law's turn to pick up the slack.

Look at the betrothal gifts brought here. There are dozens of boxes of clothing materials, all kinds of decorations, and countless fields brought as dowry.

There are all kinds of clothes basins, toilets, bathtubs, and other miscellaneous things, and there is even a good nanmu coffin. Today's wealthy families usually do not shy away from this kind of thing.

The dowry coffin is a way of telling your husband's family that our family will cover all the food and clothing for my daughter throughout her life, so you must treat her well...
