"She is a concubine, and she can't get on the stage. What kind of ceremony should I do for her? Whose family's decent lady is willing to come to watch the ceremony for a concubine."

Although Wang Ruofu's words are rough, his words are not rough.

Every woman who can go out to socialize is the head of the house.

As the main wife, no matter how virtuous she is, she will more or less dislike concubines and their children.

The natural hostility in their positions has led to the fact that no one is willing to participate in the various ceremonies for the children of the common people.

It's fine if the Sheng family's status is high, no matter what they do, there will be people willing to support it.

But the Sheng family's status in Bianjing is not high, relying on Sheng Hong's official position, they can barely be regarded as a middle class.

Sheng Changbai and his son don't have any real power in their hands, they can't promote others, and they won't flatter the Sheng family too much.

Inviting the female relatives to come over is considered a thankless thing, and it is normal for Wang Ruofu not to want to do it with Wang Ruofu's character.

"Mother, Mo Lan is also my father's daughter. She failed in her ceremony, and she lost face to our Sheng family. Mo Lan is the daughter of the Sheng family, and so is Ru Lan, and she will be affected."

Sheng Changbai persuaded a lot, and finally let Wang Ruofu take over Rulan's Jiji ceremony.

But if Wang Ruofu wanted to take care of Mo Lan wholeheartedly, no one could do it.

Wang Ruofu invited a few wives from old family members of Sheng Hong who were in the officialdom in the same year.

There is no need for the Sheng family to sell favors to outsiders if there are no female guests of high status.

Prepare to set up two tables at home, and hold a ceremony for Mo Lan.

Jiji Li invites only female guests, and it is enough for the guests to have female parents.

There was nothing wrong with Sheng Changbai. Of course, Sheng Changbai still went to work in the yamen.

When Fang Ya returned home, Sheng Changbai was about to deliver the Jiji gift he had prepared for Mo Lan.

It was discovered that Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, Lin Yushuang, Ru Lan, and Mo Lan had all gathered in Wei Ruixuan.

"Mo Lan, why are you being wronged? Didn't the eldest lady arrange your ceremony for you?"

Before entering the door, Sheng Changbai heard Sheng Hong's voice comforting Mo Lan.

After walking in, seeing Wang Ruofu, mother Rulan and her daughter with dark faces, Sheng Hong looked embarrassed.

Then there was Lin Xishuang hugging Mo Lan, the mother and daughter were sobbing.

"Father, mother." Sheng Changbai greeted.

"You came back from the Yamen?" Sheng Hong replied.

"Yes, after I came back, I wanted to send the wedding ceremony for the fourth sister to the fourth sister. I heard that the person was here, so I looked for it. Did the fourth sister's wedding ceremony not go well today? This is another What went wrong?"

"It's not that something went wrong...it's just that Mo'er is a little dissatisfied." Sheng Hong explained.

On the side of Wang Ruofu and Ru Lan, and on the side of Lin Yushuang and Mo Lan, they faced each other in a stalemate. It was difficult to speak, and Sheng Hong could only explain.

To put it simply, although Mo Lan was dissatisfied with the scene of Ji Li and herself, the ceremony went smoothly.

Mo Lan is a smart person. When there are outsiders, she will not make a bad impression on herself and let the outside world spread her bad reputation.

But after seeing off the guests, Mo Lan started to complain to Lin Haoshuang.

Then it was Lin Haoshuang who took Mo Lan to seek Sheng Hong's wrong.

As a gift from Wang Ruofu's mother to the concubine Jiji, it was just an old-fashioned golden hairpin.

Why did Hualan reach Jiji back then, and the entire Yangzhou city, famous people, all came to participate.

There were dozens of seats for the banquet, and Mo Lan's ceremony was not enough for two tables.

Molan's Jiji ceremony has been done.

But there is not much difference between doing it and not doing it. Whether you do it perfunctorily or not, it shows that Mo Lan is not valued so much in the Sheng family.

It basically shows that the Sheng family cannot become Mo Lan's reliance.

Mo Lan's value in the wedding market has naturally been greatly reduced.

The two mothers and sons have such a big grievance, such a big resentment.

The more Sheng Hong talked, the more wronged Lin Oshuang and her daughter felt, and the more they wept. Rulan couldn't help it when she was beside her:
"Fourth sister, don't cry anymore. You don't have to be so wronged. You have to weigh yourself. What kind of status can you compare with big sister? Big sister is the eldest daughter of the family. All female relatives are willing to participate in big sister's ceremony , is there anyone willing to attend your funeral ceremony?"

Others can't do it, no matter how painful it is to pierce with a knife, Rulan can still practice it.

It's just that it's too straightforward, and the careful thoughts are too obvious, which only makes Sheng Hong stare.

In fact, when Hualan held the Jiji ceremony, the situation is far from the same as it is now.

When Hualan and Ji were married, it was still when Sheng Hong was a general judge in Yangzhou.

As the second-in-command in the locality, the first-in-command also needs to show face, Hualan has to do the ceremony, and of course all the officials, gentry, and wealthy households in Yangzhou have to rush to participate, and it is easy to hold dozens of banquets.

Now that the Sheng family is not ranked well in Bianjing, and Sheng Hong has no real power in his hands, even if it is changed to Hualan now and has to handle the ceremony, it will not be able to make such a big scene in Yangzhou.

Of course, if it's Hua Lan and Ji, it can't be a simple two-table trick.

At least some distinguished guests should be invited. Others are willing to participate. The Sheng family still has potential.

Molan is a concubine, and if she wants to invite some high-status guests, it's a slap in the face.

"Hong Lang, look at what the fourth girl said. Whether it is the eldest girl or Mo Lan, they are all daughters of the Sheng family. Is it because Mo Lan was born from my stomach that she should be tortured?" Is it so wronged?"

Lin Xishuang has been doing the same thing for more than ten years, just showing off her weakness and being pitiful.

They didn't even line up with Ru Lan, and went directly to Sheng Hong to cry, so that Ru Lan was taught by Sheng Hong, and she couldn't even talk back.

"Lin Xiaoniang, what you said is that the fourth younger sister is good-looking, talented and educated, and she is not inferior to others in everything. She shouldn't be wronged like this, but the difference is that she was born in Linxi Pavilion."

Before Sheng Hong could explode, Sheng Changbai followed Lin Haoshuang's words and replied.

Although Mo Lan did nothing wrong, she became a concubine, and her status was a little bit innocent.

But Sheng Changbai still thinks that it's okay for Mo Lan to be wronged by this situation.

But Lin Haoshuang really has no right to be wronged.

The contempt and contempt that Mo Lan received because of her identity was the result of Lin Haoshuang's unscrupulous collusion with Sheng Hong.

If the marriage that Ming media is marrying is not protected.The status of a concubine and the children of a concubine can be the same as that of a serious wife and children born to a regular wife.

How should the social atmosphere and morality be corrupted?

If there is no price for being a mistress, then the social system is encouraging people to be mistresses.

The mistress can just climb into a bed, and she can be the same as the regular wife, so what's the use of the marriage system.

What kind of chaos should an old-fashioned back house like Sheng Hong look like.

If the mistress and the main wife have the same status, there is no such thing as a normal marriage.

"Mo Lan, some time ago, I got a piece of white jade with ink patterns, which fits your name. Haven't you been collecting this kind of black jade all these years? Take a quick look to see if this material is suitable, and Is it enough to make a set with what you already have?"

This is what Mo Lan likes. When the Wang family gave Ru Lan a jade with ink patterns, Mo Lan snatched it.

Having such a good heart is enough to share Mo Lan's heart.

Sheng Changbai still hoped that Mo Lan could get some comfort from the gift, and stop making trouble with Lin Xiaoshuang's crying performance here.

"Yes, Mo Lan, take a quick look at the jade material your second brother gave you. If it's not enough, ask someone to go outside to find it for your father. Didn't I also give you a face today? Do you like it or not? If you like it, I'll go to their store and order another set for you."

It was a headache for Sheng Hong to deal with this kind of thing, and his usual principle was to be gentle.

On Wang Ruofu's side, he didn't dare to reprimand him too much, and on Lin Xishuang's side, Sheng Hong wanted to coax him even more.

"Okay, fourth sister, you and Lin Xiaoniang go back first, my father and I have some things to discuss in court."

Sheng Changbai gave the steps, and Sheng Hong bled the blood again to benefit.Mo Lan followed Lin Poshuang and left Wei Ruixuan.

A complete set of women's head and face, including hairpins, back combs, heart picks, pendants, hoops, top hairpins, temple covers, distractions, hair wraps, tinsel, full crowns, etc.

When it is done, the raw material gold alone will cost one or two catties, and some gems, beads, and materials may be worth hundreds or even thousands of copper coins.

In addition to the handwork of the masters in the famous Jinlou in Bianjing, several skilled workers are required to work on a set of hair for several months.

Gold plus craftsmanship and artistic value will obviously be much more expensive, and Sheng Hong has at least thousands of pieces in it.

It is no wonder that Lin Haoshuang likes to play around with Sheng Hong because of such a big benefit.

Sheng Hong obviously sees that Mo Lan has reached the age of Ji and is going to marry soon.

Firstly, without a mother to rely on, and secondly, without a grandmother to favor her, Lin Aoshuang is a poor man who entered the Sheng family alone.

All the assets now come from Sheng Hong's gifts, although they are not small.

But compared with Wang Ruofu and Mrs. Sheng's assets, they are still far behind.

No one would add makeup to Mo Lan, Sheng Hong started to seize the opportunity to supplement Mo Lan.

"Why are you so rich and have so much money, why don't you know how to add more to Bai'er's dowry, so that Bai'er can have more face in front of the Hai family."

Wang Ruofu glared at Sheng Hong angrily and said with a dark face.

Although Wang Ruofu was rich, he didn't think he had too much money, and he couldn't see Sheng Hong being so partial to Mo Lan.

Wang Ruofu is of course a normal feudal thought, most of the family business should of course be inherited by the legitimate sons and daughters of the family.

In Wang Ruofu's view, Sheng Hong subsidizes Mo Lan like this, it is Sheng Hong cutting the flesh of his own children.

"Bo'er, don't you have something to tell me about the court, let's go to the study."

The excuse that Sheng Changbai used to drive away Mo Lan and Lin Baoshuang was immediately used by Sheng Hong again.

"Yes, let's go to the study."

Sheng Changbai still gave Sheng Hong a face, and didn't say that he was just an excuse just now.

"What happened in the hall today?"

Sheng Hong asked after the father and son left Weiruixuan's gate.

"Nothing happened in the court, what I just said is just an excuse."

"Then let's go over and have a cup of tea. We told your mother that we have something to go to the study, so why not go back immediately."

That's it, acting requires a complete set, Sheng Changbai followed Sheng Hong to Sheng Hong's study.

What he drank was slow-moving Kung Fu tea, which was the same tea-ordering process that San Lan had learned before.

The two father and son were not well, so they just sat there, and Sheng Changbai chatted with Sheng Hong again.

After talking a few words about the new affairs of the court, they talked about Molan again after a few words.

"The Fourth Younger Sister has already completed her Jiji ceremony. Has Father found any suitable family for Mo Lan?"

Sheng Changbai has always believed that it is a bit too young for a girl to marry when she is fifteen.

It is not a good thing for a woman to be immature both physically and mentally.

But at this age, it is good to get married too early, but the marriage should still be settled.

It's okay to be just over fifteen, but if a woman is not sure about marriage in a few years, it is easy to be called an old girl.

"Although the father said that the daughters in the family are treated as normal by the father. But your fourth younger sister was born to you, Lin Xiaoniang, after all. Marrying him into the son of an official, I am worried that she will be wronged because of her birth. So I Why don't you choose a young, educated son from a poor family and marry Mo Lan to her?"

Even the sons of concubines of the noble families of many generations of officials, they are actually unwilling to find a concubine daughter who looks like her.

The Sheng family is not even considered a big family, but a new upstart.

They are also unwilling to let their own children marry concubine daughters.

Sheng Hong never considered marrying a concubine for Sheng Changfeng.

It's not because of the concubine's low status. The concubine's daughter of a high-ranking official and minister is honored by her father, so her status can't be said to be low.

From the perspective of growth experience, concubine girls are oppressed and even tortured by the main house, which is easy to form character defects.

In terms of rules, etiquette, and talents, it is also easy to be incompletely educated and lack of upbringing.

Although the concubines have children, according to the rules, they should grow up with the main wife in the family and be raised by the main wife.

But in the process of growing up, it is inevitable to be influenced by the birth mother.

Many people who can be concubines have some defects in thinking and knowledge, which can easily affect their children.

For men, they basically have to receive education from outside schools and colleges, and the situation can be better.

For women, they live in the back house all day and are more influenced by their biological mothers.

Chang Feng and Mo Lan are the true portrayal of this situation.

Without knowing the basics, the probabilities of concubine girls having problems in all aspects of character, psychology, and ability are much higher.

The risk of marrying a concubine's daughter is much higher, and of course the aristocratic family has formed a culture of not rashly marrying a concubine's daughter.

"After such a long time, does father have someone he likes?"

"I have met a few young people in Beijing. They are pretty good in appearance, character, talent and learning. It's just that Mo Lan's little mother doesn't want Mo Lan to marry into a poor family, so Mo Lan's marriage has been put on hold. It hasn't been decided yet."

The status of the Sheng family has not yet waited for the imperial examination to go to the list to catch a son-in-law, and to catch a new scholar with a good ranking.

Most of the Jinshi at the back of the row have no future, and Sheng Hong still looks down on them.

Therefore, if Sheng Hong wanted to find a potential stock for Mo Lan, he could only seek gold from Juren.

"Father, marriage is a matter of great importance. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are important. As long as you and your mother agree to Molan's marriage, it doesn't matter if he is a little girl!" (End of this chapter)
