"Bo'er, have you recovered from your illness?" Wang Ruofu asked with concern.

Sheng Hong was shaking at home, and Wei Xiaoniang gave birth, so naturally nothing happened.

As the delivery was approaching, there were three mothers at home for Wen Wen alone. As soon as the mother started to go into labor, the doctor invited her to the house, and Wei Xiaoniang gave birth to a boy smoothly. Of course, Sheng Changbai's illness no longer needed to be pretended:
"Mother Lao is concerned. I am well. We can go to my uncle's house now."

Sheng Changbai has already achieved this step, if Wei Xiaoniang can't keep her child.

If Sheng Changbai wanted to complete the task of 'Sheng Xiaoqi', he could only hope that Sheng Hong would take another concubine and work hard to make a baby.

It's not easy to go to Runzhou Wang's house. First take a carriage to the pier, then take a boat, and then change to a carriage after getting off the boat.

The distance is not far, only a few hundred miles. In modern times, it takes a few hours by car. In ancient times, it took three days. The traffic is inconvenient, and it is quite a toss.

When he was in Yangzhou City, Sheng Changbai was basically satisfied with his current situation.

After experiencing the transportation in ancient times, Sheng Changbai especially missed the modern times.

Even if the speed of the green leather train is not good, it is much faster and more comfortable than taking a horse-drawn carriage.

It was troublesome to come and go, and Sheng Changbai didn't really do anything after arriving at Wang's house.

I paid my respects to my grandmother, Mrs. Wang, and my uncle and aunt.

We ate a few meals together, and played with some cousins, cousins, and little fur kids for two days.

This thank you activity for connecting feelings is over.

Generally speaking, the Wang family treated the Sheng family very well and warmly.

Mrs. Wang is kind to Sheng Changbai, Hualan and Rulan three children.

Uncle Wang's qualifications are mediocre, his level of economics and justice and ability to handle affairs are relatively average, and his political future is limited.

But when he used the contacts of the Wang family to help his brother-in-law pave the way, he spared no effort.

……

After returning to Yangzhou, it was not too long before Sheng Hong returned to Beijing to take office.

Sheng Hong was also anxiously dealing with some chores before leaving Yangzhou.

The land in Yangzhou is good, irrigation is convenient, and the land is fertile. The Sheng family has been in Yangzhou for the past few years. The land they bought can be kept, but they must arrange to leave a trustworthy manager.

There is basically no need to keep some of the shops bought in Yangzhou, and most of them need to be sold.

Most of the servants bought locally should also be released.

The hundred and ten servants of the Sheng family, except for some close ones who were the sons of the family, followed Sheng Hong around to become officials.

Most of the rest are bought locally.

Most of the people couldn't leave their homeland, and they couldn't leave their parents. After receiving a severance package from Sheng Hong, they left the Sheng family.

Of course, there are also some servants who don't want to give up the wealth of the Sheng Mansion and stay in the Sheng Family.

The Sheng family can be regarded as a rare kind family among officials.

Even in the Sheng family's mansion, Lin Haoshuang, who has the most vile heart, usually pretends to be weak and obedient in front of Sheng Hong, and does not beat and kill her servants frequently, or treat her servants harshly.

In addition to having no personal freedom, being a slave in the Sheng family, with food, housing, and clothing, can be said to be treated well.

Sheng Hong didn't need to do these things himself, just pay a little attention.

The busiest thing for Sheng Hong was to deal with the banquets of various officials and squires in Yangzhou, and to implement them.

It was also the relationship between Sheng Hong and the usual parties, which was handled well. This time, he was promoted to Tokyo again, so he got this treatment.

If they were degraded, of course it would be impossible for so many people to send them off.

Sheng Hong was in a hurry to return to Tokyo to take up his post, and Wei Xiaoniang's confinement, of course, could not continue in Yangzhou.

The family, with their servants and luggage, hired seven or eight large boats to head for Tokyo by water.

Sheng Hong was worried about being too ostentatious, so he arranged for trusted stewards to escort some of the luggage ships to the north first, and it was also convenient for the mansion to be arranged in advance.

Xiao moved to a temporary home where he lived for three years, and only a few ships of this size were installed. The furniture of Lao Sheng's family can really be said to be quite a lot.

Of course, it was through the accumulation of three generations that the Sheng family accumulated so much wealth.

Naturally, there is nothing interesting on the boat. There are some places on both sides of the strait, and there are some scenery to see.

But most of the places are the same. Sheng Changbai can be said to have been on a boat for half a month and read books for half a month.

Mrs. Sheng read Buddhist scriptures on the boat for half a month.

It was difficult for Sheng Hong to have such a long time of free time, to educate his children for half a month.

Wang Ruofu calculated the accounts for half a month, and calculated how to manage the family and how to buy property after returning to Beijing for half a month.

He was about to return to Tokyo, and there were countless senior executives and dignitaries, and Sheng Hong finally knew how to lose face.

I also understand that spoiling concubines and destroying wives is not a good reputation.

The family members in Bianjing walked around and communicated, pointing at Wang Ruofu.

Let Lin Xishuang be a concubine, entertain guests, walk around, that is enmity with others.

Wang Ruofu, the housewife, should not be allowed to be a laughing stock in the circle of wives, which would seriously affect the wife's diplomacy.

So he also accepted Lin Xishuang's housekeeper right and handed it back to Wang Ruofu.

Without the right to be the housekeeper of the family's inner house, unable to control personnel and finances, Lin Haoshuang's status in the eyes of the servants naturally dropped greatly, and she talked about Qin on the boat for half a month with resentment.

Wei Xiaoniang spent half a month on the boat, and Sheng Xiaoqi also spent the full moon on the boat.

The rest of them were all juniors, and they had nowhere to hide on the boat, and they were disciplined by Sheng Hong, who had nothing to do, for half a month.

Sheng Hong, this old man, still has prestige in the family, except for Sheng Rulan, no other children dare to blow their hair in front of Sheng Hong.

Both Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Molan received the true biography of Lin Biaoshuang, and they pretended well in front of Sheng Hong. On the surface, they were obedient, sensible, and filial good children.

……

"It's back."

After arriving at the Tokyo pier, the family got on the horse arranged by the steward, and after another half an hour, they finally arrived at Shengzhai in the capital.

On the way home, after taking a quick look around, Sheng Changbai had a preliminary taste of the prosperity of Bianliang.

Compared with Tokyo, the prosperity of Yangzhou City is already comparable to that of later counties, and it can be said that it is a countryside.

As the world's largest megacity with a permanent population of more than one million.

Bianliang can be said to be prosperous beyond Sheng Changbai's surprise, with prosperous commerce and a large population. A vivid picture of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is right in front of you.

The location of Sheng's house is not bad, although it does not belong to the inner city, it is also next to the inner city.

It is also a five-entry mansion. Although it is not as big as the Sheng family's mansion in Yangzhou, there is also a large garden behind the mansion.

In Bianliang, where every inch of land is expensive, the Sheng family can still have such a big house, of course it has nothing to do with Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong's colleagues in the same department, the same year, and colleagues all still live in the alleys in the corners of Tokyo's outskirts.

It is a mansion in the capital bought by Sheng Changbai's grandfather.

Speaking of Mr. Sheng Changbai, he is not ordinary, he is very capable and intelligent, and he laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Sheng family.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity of the change of dynasty, the establishment of a new dynasty, and class reorganization, the grandfather found two backers who were officials, and started a business.

After having the money, the grandfather is also very sober and understands that the ability to do business alone is not enough.

In the final analysis, the Great Zhou Dynasty was still an official-based society.

With no property and no status, he is just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered in captivity by the powerful.

Spending a lot of money, she married the daughter of a down-and-out scholar.

After giving birth to three sons, he spared no expense to hire famous teachers to support his sons to study.

The grandfather's painstaking efforts were not in vain, and the scholar's wife was not in vain, and it immediately had results.

The grandfather's second son, Sheng Changbai's grandfather, went to high school in one fell swoop and won the prize.

And because he was worried that Tanhua's son would not have a backer in the officialdom, and his official career would not go well.

After exhausting all her efforts and searching hard, she married the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi for her son, who is now Sheng Changbai's nominal grandmother, Mrs. Sheng.

This mansion was bought by the grandfather for Tanhua's son in order to be able to marry the only daughter of the Hou family.

Only with a son named as Tanhualang, the Grandfather was able to buy a big house near the inner city.

And because of the in-laws of the Hou Mansion, the grandfather was able to buy the garden behind the yard and build a large garden.

Now this big house is cheaper than Sheng Hong, and it will basically be cheaper than Sheng Changbai in the future.

"Bai'er, has the yard been tidied up properly, if there is anything missing, tell mother, and mother will arrange for someone to buy it."

Wang Ruofu is in a good mood recently. The man has been promoted, his daughter is waiting to be married, and he has regained the power of housekeeper. Everything is going well.

"Mother, I don't lack anything here, but I lack some manpower."

Sheng Changbai is not a girl either, she doesn't need so many clothes and jewelry, a few Confucian shirts and a few jade pendants are enough to go out.

Sheng Changbai's requirements for furniture and decorations are not high.

Sheng Changbai did not lack such things as classics and historical books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

In terms of material, Sheng Changbai really doesn't need anything.

"Well, when people enter the mansion in the past few days, I will ask the woman in charge to bring them over, and I will let you choose them first." Wang Ruofu said with a strange expression.

When I was in Yangzhou, I dismissed a group of servants. Now that I have entered Beijing, I naturally need to add a group of people to the mansion.

"Mother, what I need is not a female envoy. Children need companions to practice martial arts. Choose some teenagers who are similar to the children to come in and practice for a few years, so that they can be used as nursing homes at home in the future."

Seeing that Wang Ruofu misunderstood, Sheng Changbai explained.

Wang Ruofu's weird expression obviously thought that Sheng Changbai was enlightened, interested in the affairs of men and women, and wanted some beautiful maids.

After making a judgment, Sheng Changbai still felt that Sheng Zhai's force was still a bit lacking.

When staying in a relatively peaceful home, the problem is not too big.

If the family members want to go out, for example, they want to go back to Youyang's hometown, the force of the servants and the guards is far from enough.

Training a group of nurses is the worst result.

In the future, whether Sheng Changbai will serve as an official abroad or actually go to the battlefield, these people will be useful after they have trained well.

"Then I'll tell the steward to go to our family's Zhuangzi and choose a group of young people to come in."

In Zhuangzi, either the servants of the Sheng family, or the tenants of the Sheng family, they are all people who drag their families along and live by pointing at the Sheng family. The loyalty of these people to the Sheng family is still basically guaranteed.

After all, he was born in a noble family and had a lot of experience, so Wang Ruofu's arrangement was appropriate.

Within a few days, a steward brought Sheng Changbai twenty teenagers, aged twelve or thirteen, from the Sheng family's farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

These people spend half of their time working in the front yard and half of their time practicing martial arts with Sheng Changbai.

The efficiency of this work is still quite good.

When Wang Ruofu was the housekeeper, it was more convenient for Sheng Changbai to do things.

The youngsters in the guard house are not needed for the time being, so Sheng Changbai first brought all the dogs in the house to train them.

The Sheng family has more than ten dogs, big and small.

After Sheng Changbai trained for a period of time, it may not be possible to let these dogs go to dog fighting or hunting.

But guarding the home and guarding the home, warnings and warnings are enough. If you don’t eat strangers’ food, some gentlemen on Liangshang should not even think about coming to Sheng’s house.

If it wasn't for the fear of being said to be a libertine who likes to invite cats and walk dogs, Sheng Changbai would go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market in person to buy dogs by himself.

The combat effectiveness of some wolfhounds and local fine dogs is worthy of respect after training.

……

After such a period of time, when she just returned to Beijing, Mrs. Sheng was inconvenient and had no conditions, so she hid in the mountains to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha.

He stayed at home, got along with the three Lan for a while, and chose a child to raise by his side.

It was Sheng Lao Liu Sheng Minglan. Compared with Sheng Molan and Sheng Rulan, Sheng Minglan's character was obvious, which was even more rare.

Whether it's Sheng Minglan who was smart before, or Sheng Minglan who has restrained her sharpness now, they are all sensible enough.

Sheng Molan, at a very young age, learned from Lin Poshuang all over her faults. She is delicate and artificial, and she can only fool Sheng Hong who is biased. How can she escape the old lady's piercing eyes.

Sheng Rulan's character, if it sounds good, it's naive and romantic, but if it sounds bad, it's arrogant and unreasonable.

There are seven children in the younger generation of the Sheng family, except for Wang Ruofu, no one has the leisure to pamper Sheng Rulan.

The three children, by nature, of course want to live with their own mothers.

The three Lan's mothers have different attitudes towards this matter.

Wang Ruofu didn't want Rulan to leave him, saying that Wang Ruofu didn't like Rulan because he compared Hualan with Sheng Changbai.

Taking it alone, as a mother, Wang Ruofu already likes and loves Rulan enough, otherwise the child would not be able to develop this kind of character.

Of course Sheng Changbai hoped that Sheng Rulan could go to the old lady's side and be disciplined.

If Hualan hadn't been raised by the old lady's side for a few years, she wouldn't be as sensible as she is now.

Growing up with Wang Ruofu, it is more possible to teach by precepts and deeds, and develop a personality like Lan Rulan.

But Sheng Changbai and the old lady have a normal relationship, so they can't affect the old lady's decision.

Both Lin Xiaoniang and Wei Xiaoniang hoped that their Lan would be raised by the old lady's side.

The two Lan are both concubines, following the old lady and being raised by the old lady will obviously increase their social status, this is one of them.

Since I was raised by my mother, it was a curse word, so I knew it was disgraceful to be brought up by my mother.

Second, Wei Xiaoniang hopes that Minglan will go there, because she hopes that Minglan can get the old lady's protection and reduce Lin Xiaoniang's persecution of Minglan.

Lin Xiaoniang hoped that Mo Lan would go there because she was thinking about the old lady's dowry property, and she wanted Mo Lan to get closer to the old lady and get more of the old lady's property. (end of this chapter)
