Chapter 879
With some apologies to Dafang, Sheng Changbai walked upstream of the Yellow River, spent seven days, and returned to Bianliang.

The time limit of half a month has not been exceeded, but there are only three days left, and the time is not particularly plentiful.

If the boat was against the wind for two more days, Sheng Changbai would have no choice but to get off the boat and ride a horse in a hurry.

First go to the Zhongshu Department in the imperial city, report that you have returned to Beijing, and then return to Bianliang Shengzhai.

After returning home, according to the rules, go to greet the old lady first.

"Grandson pays respects to grandmother. I haven't seen him for more than a year. Grandma looks much more energetic."

Sheng Changbai hadn't seen the old lady for more than a year.

Looking at it now, the old lady's physical and mental state looks much better than when Sheng Changbai left Bianjing last year.

The old lady has grown up in the past two years, and she is concerned about choosing a husband for Ming Lan.

With Jigua, the old lady's spirit has improved a lot.

After the spirit is recovered, the impact on the body is still obvious.

Even if the old lady went to Youyang for a while, it is said that she will be more tired, but after the old lady has been cultivated, her complexion is obviously much better than before.

"It's better, Brother Bo, how is it that you have been in Xuzhou for so long? I am a useless old lady, and I am still tired of Brother Bo. You are still in a foreign job, and you are still thinking about it."

After all, Sheng Changbai is also the eldest grandson of the old lady in name, and the old lady is quite happy when Sheng Changbai comes back.

"Old lady, why are you useless? You are the white jade pillar supporting the sky and the purple golden beam in the family. With you in charge and grandson away, you can feel at ease at home..."

It is definitely not good to leave after asking Ann, so Sheng Changbai continued to chat with the old lady, and told the old lady some customs of Xuzhou.

Although Sheng Changbai also said something when writing letters to Bianjing in normal times.

However, the length of the communication is limited, so many things cannot be said in too much detail.

People are curious about the reason why it is not easy to go out.

The old lady is also quite interested in the customs of Xuzhou, and the grandparents and grandchildren chatted very happily.

"Old lady, the eldest lady has sent someone to Shou'an hall again."

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, Mother Fang, who was beside the old lady, whispered in the old lady's ear.

"Forget it, let's talk about it another day. You just came back, and your mother is also thinking about you. You should go to Wei Ruixuan to visit your mother."

The old lady was a reasonable person, knowing that Sheng Changbai had just come back and Wang Ruofu was thinking about it, so she urged Sheng Changbai to go over early.

"Yes, at dinner time, the grandson is coming to say hello to grandma."

After bidding farewell to the old lady, Sheng Changbai came to Wei Ruixuan.

"Bai'er, you have finally returned to Beijing, come quickly and let my mother take a good look at you."

Sheng Changbai had just entered the hall of Weiruixuan, and before meeting Wang Ruofu, Wang Ruofu had already walked up to Sheng Changbai, picked up Sheng Changbai, touched his arms, patted his legs, and checked Sheng Changbai's physical condition.

Compared with the old lady's rules, Wang Ruofu's way of expressing his feelings is stronger.

At this time, Wang Ruofu still feels more humane than the old lady.

Sometimes the children and grandchildren of the Sheng family are not so close to Mrs. Sheng, and these children are not all to blame.

Apart from being close to Minglan, the old lady was quite indifferent to other children, and she took the initiative to reject people thousands of miles away.

Without blood relationship, and without getting along so much, the relationship is naturally not that deep.

"Mother, everything is fine with me. My son is not filial. I haven't been filial to my mother for so long. Is my mother okay?" Sheng Changbai took two steps back, avoiding Wang Ruofu's slap, and replied with a salute.

"I'm fine. Now that you're back in Beijing, everything will be fine for mother." Wang Ruofu replied excitedly.

"Miss, here comes the tea." At this time, Mother Liu came in with two bowls of tea, which did not make Wang Ruofu continue to get excited.

"Bo'er, sit down and drink tea, let's talk slowly, mother and son, and talk to your mother slowly about the time you have been outside for more than a year."

"When I first arrived in Xuzhou last year..."

Sheng Changbai told Wang Ruofu about the incident in Xuzhou in a general way.

Apart from business, Sheng Changbai is a single man outside, and there is actually nothing to do at home.

After talking about it for a while, Sheng Changbai still couldn't help asking out his doubts:
"Mother, why did the imperial court suddenly invite me back to the capital? Didn't you get any news in the capital?"

Some people want to stand in line in advance when the imperial power changes, and strive for a share of the merits of the dragon.

Some people remained neutral, but at this sensitive moment of the alternation of imperial power, they were welded to death in Bianjing.

I want to show off in front of the new emperor at the beginning of the new emperor's succession to leave a good impression.

But Sheng Changbai was neither of these two types. Knowing how chaotic the imperial power transition was, he just wanted to be outside and stay away from this dispute.

"Your father and in-laws are discussing about your official career. My mother really doesn't know about it. It was only after hearing from your father a few days ago that I found out that you are going back to Beijing."

Wang Ruofu couldn't answer, and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter if mother doesn't know, then I'll just ask my father when my father comes back from his office."

Sheng Changbai just asked tentatively, because Wang Ruofu had no reason for political sensitivity.

A few years ago, when the Sheng family needed the help of the Wang family, Sheng Hong would talk to Wang Ruofu about the official affairs.

After the Wang family was not able to help the Sheng family, Sheng Hong would not take Wang Ruofu with him in matters of officialdom.

"Then I'll send someone to wait for your father outside the imperial city, and inform him that you have already returned home in Beijing. If there is nothing else to do today, let him come back early."

"fair enough."

Sheng Changbai complied, there are many things that need to be discussed with Sheng Hong.

It's okay to inform Sheng Hong that he is back, so that Sheng Hong doesn't know that Sheng Changbai is back, and after he leaves the office, he invites his colleagues to drink.

After Wang Ruofu sent someone out, the two mother and son continued to chat.

Next, Sheng Changbai asked Wang Ruofu what he had done for more than a year.

Although the letter always said that there was nothing wrong with the family, the relationship between Wang Ruofu and Lin Oshuang could not be so peaceful.

It's just not as fierce as the house fights in the past, the two directly quarreled so fiercely, tearing faces apart.

Aiming at whether to take Mo Lan out, and who to show Mo Lan.

The small frictions and small fights between the two have never stopped.

For example, which honorable official, what kind of banquet was held at home because of something.

Wang Ruofu didn't want to bring Mo Lan to participate, but Lin Haoshuang insisted on letting Wang Ruofu bring Mo Lan to participate.

The two of them would always go through a confrontation in front of Sheng Hong.

As a result, Wang Ruofu naturally won less and lost more.

It was Sheng Changbai who told him many times before he left not to take Molan to the banquets and various activities held by Xungui's house.

This bottom line, Wang Ruofu can no longer keep it.

How can you handle Sheng Hong well? Lin Haoshuang is much better than Wang Ruofu.

There is no rank at all, there is no comparison.

"Second brother, you came back from Xuzhou, did you bring me any presents?"

While the mother and son were chatting, Ru Lan's voice of surprise came from the yard.

Although she is one year older, even at 14 years old, Ru Lan is still a little girl who has not reached her age.

The character is still careless and can't be stable.

"Of course I brought it for you all. I originally planned to send it to you directly in the courtyard. I heard from my mother that you were invited by a lady from another family to enjoy the fragrance and flowers. If you are not at home, you haven't sent it to you yet. "

The gift Sheng Changbai does not need to be specially prepared when leaving Xuzhou.

I have received a lot of silk, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and specialty products. It is enough to divide them into categories and distribute them to the elders, younger brothers and sisters in the family.

It's not that Sheng Changbai is not short of money and is still corrupt. The things Sheng Changbai accepts are a kind of sophistication.

After accepting these things, Sheng Changbai also maintained a friendship with these officials, gentry, and wealthy businessmen in Xuzhou.

In the court, Sheng Changbai should speak out for the interests of Xuzhou.

When these people encountered difficulties and could help, Sheng Changbai would also help them.

"Ru Lan, why are you so unruly? How can you ask for a gift without saying goodbye to your elder brother who hasn't seen you for so long?"

Wang Ruofu yelled at Rulan. It can be seen that as Rulan gets older, Wang Ruofu's discipline on Rulan is still stricter than before.

"Mother, I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, and I'm joking with my second brother."

Rulan explained to Wang Ruofu that Rulan understands the truth, but she just doesn't want to be bound by the rules.

It doesn't matter when she is in her own house, but her husband's family will definitely not spoil Ru Lan like this.

Rulan's situation is similar to that of Dafang's Pinlan.

Lively, cheerful, restless, and optimistic. My family likes it when I look at it. Unrelated relatives and friends may also like Rulan's personality.

But if Ru Lan were to be his daughter-in-law, no one would like it.

Although Minglan can play wildly with Dafang Pinlan, Minglan and Pinlan are not in the same style.

Minglan just went back to Youyang to relax for a while.

In normal times, it is quite good that Minglan can abide by various rules.

Ru Lan and Pin Lan, it can be said that the two are basically people who can't control themselves.

Unconsciously, you will do bold and all kinds of outrageous things.

"Ru Lan, it's okay for you to joke with your second brother, but in the blink of an eye, you've grown into a big girl, and it's time to learn to be more prudent." Sheng Changbai persuaded.

Rulan's style and personality are not disciplined at home.

That is to go to the in-law's house to be disciplined, not to mention meeting an evil mother-in-law, but meeting a normal and well-behaved mother-in-law.

Disciplining Rulan would not be as gentle as disciplining Rulan at home.

Rather than letting the child be beaten by others, it is better to beat him first, which is more measured than others.

"Mistress, Miss Six is ​​here." The female envoy outside came in and reported to Wang Ruofuhui.

The three orchids all accepted the invitation of old friends of the Sheng family to enjoy tea and flowers.

Now that Rulan has returned home, the other two Lans naturally also returned.

Mo Lan may not come to see Sheng Changbai, but given the friendship between Ming Lan and Sheng Changbai, Ming Lan will definitely come and have a look.

"Please come in, Miss Six."

"I've met my mother, my second brother, and my fifth sister." After saluting, Minglan looked at Sheng Changbai and continued:
"Second brother, I heard that you are back. I brought some fruits and came to see you."

In contrast, Minglan is much smarter than Rulan, and she is much more polite.

Even Minglan loves to play, but Minglan never makes people feel inappropriate.

It is clear what should be played, what should not be played, what can be done and what cannot be done.

Children who grew up in the same family have suffered differently.

It is the same education that can raise a smart and transparent child like Minglan.

It can also raise a silly white sweet like Rulan.

If she hadn't been tricked by Mo Lan since she was a child, Ru Lan would have been even more stupid and whiter if she had grown a little more intelligent.

"Sister Liu is worried, I brought back a lot of things from Xuzhou, and prepared some for my younger sister, but I don't know if you like it or not. Wait until my younger sister can come to my yard, and then I can pick some up myself. "

The two Lans haven't seen each other for more than a year. One just opened his mouth to beg for gifts, and the other came to give things. It goes without saying which one will be favored.

"Minglan likes the presents chosen by the second elder brother himself."

After Minglan also came over, the conversation between the few people became more about trivial matters in life.

After chatting for two cups of tea, Minglan first said goodbye and left, and then Wang Ruofu also let Sheng Changbai go back to his yard:
"Okay, Bo'er, you can go back to the house and rest for a while, and you can come back after your father is gone."

"Okay, then I'll go back and put things back together."

Sheng Changbai also had a lot of things to do after returning to the yard, the first thing was to wash up first.

Then it was sorting out the things brought back, bringing back various items from the two ships.

Although Sheng Changbai didn't have to do it himself, he still had to direct.

In addition to the boat that can be pulled directly to the warehouse, the daily necessities that were emptied at the beginning must naturally be put back to the original place.

Sheng Changbai didn't even think that his time as a foreigner was so short, otherwise there would be no need to go through such troubles at the beginning.

Bring back all kinds of things that are ready to be given away, of course they must be sorted out by category.

"Second brother, you're back! How's your life in Xuzhou?

Not long after returning to the courtyard, Sheng Changfeng, the third son of Sheng, ran over excitedly.

"Xuzhou has beautiful mountains and green waters, and it is very good to have outstanding people." Seeing Sheng Changbai, the third son, still felt a little joy.

The two of them put aside the relationship between brothers, they are also old classmates who have studied together for many years, and there is no reason to be unhappy when they meet again after a long absence.

Not to mention that because of the fight and grievances between Wang Ruofu and Lin Yushuang, Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were not involved, the two of them can be regarded as having a normal brotherly relationship.

"You are in Bianliang. There are so many Confucianists in Bianliang who are not enough for you to learn. What do you want to go out to learn? I think you don't want to travel and study, but you want to leave Bianjing. There is no one to control you, and you can play freely outside. Right? When I have free time here, I will check your schoolwork and see how much progress you have made in your schoolwork over the past year."

Sheng Changbai is not in Bianjing, so I don't know if Sheng Hong has kept Sheng Changfeng under control.

I was delighted to meet him, for Sheng's third son to have a better future, Sheng Changbai still wanted to supervise this child's schoolwork.

"I met my second brother."

Behind Chang Feng, Mo Lan followed.The two of them probably didn't want to go to Weirui Xuan, so they didn't come here until Sheng Changbai returned to his courtyard.

"Long time no see, Fourth Sister is even more elegant and refined."

Since Mo Lan also came to see him politely, according to Mo Lan's preference, Sheng Changbai also praised her.

As long as Mo Lan doesn't want to harm the interests of the Sheng family and helps herself to climb high, Mo Lan can be regarded as a good sister in Sheng Changbai.
