Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

When Sheng Changbai said it, he intentionally carried some emotions, and there was a bit of indignation and sarcasm in his words.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was also a feudal society where men were superior to women, and it was not a glorious thing for men to control women.

The status of women in Dazhou is not low, and there are fierce wives in various families, and it is not uncommon for the Lion Roaring in the River East.

But the ones that others can't control are regular wives, like Sheng Hong, who have to let a concubine agree to everything, and those who are satisfied are still rare.

No matter how you look at it, Sheng Hong is not manly enough. According to the standards of scholars, Sheng Hong is not even able to do it with the Qi family.

"Bai'er, you Lin Xiaoniang is Mo Lan's biological mother after all, so it's a great pity that she can't manage the marriage for her daughter herself. Mo Lan's marriage must be agreed to by her."

Sheng Hong explained embarrassingly, because Lin Haoshuang PUA Sheng Hong in a way of "coaxing".

Sheng Hong didn't have too much rebellious psychology, and enjoyed it quite a bit.

"Then what my father means is that if Lin Xiaoniang has been unwilling, Mo Lan's marriage will not be settled?" Sheng Changbai asked rhetorically.

"That can't be left to her. In a few days, I'm going to hold a literary conference, and I'll call all the students to my house, and find a chance to let their mother and daughter see each other face to face."

Sheng Hong still had some rationality. Without Lin Biaoshuang, Mo Lan would give up if he didn't want to. He was still trying to make Lin Biaoshuang and Mo Lan accept it.

But the persuasion failed, and it was hard to say whether Sheng Hong could forcefully give Mo Lan a poor family.

"Okay, let's arrange it during Xiumu. I will also participate, to see how the candidate selected by father is, and to help the fourth sister test the talent of the candidate." Sheng Changbai agreed, ready to go Time to take a look.

Although Mo Lan and Lin Haoshuang were optimistic about Sheng Hong's poor family.

She doesn't care about her looks, her talents, her character, she simply doesn't care about her humble family background.

But according to the existing conditions, Mo Lan has no possibility of high marriage.

Maybe there will be some playboys among the nobles, who can't be said to be the right daughter-in-law.

Just like Gu Tingye's at the beginning, his reputation is completely rotten, and people hate dogs.

There is a slight chance that such a person would be willing to find Mo Lan on such a condition.

But when meeting such Xu Gui's disciples, it's time for Lin Oshuang and Mo Lan to choose someone's appearance, talent, and character.

Those with family background dislike character and talent, and those with character and talent dislike no family background.

Lin Haoshuang and Mo Lan just want to have both.

But for a person like Qi Heng who has both, it is impossible to marry a woman with Mo Lan's basic qualifications.

In short, if he doesn't play tricks, Mo Lan has no possibility of marrying the honorable nobles he dreams of.

In the end, Mo Lan was still destined to marry a poor family.

Compared with the middle-aged Xungui who married some dead wife to fill in the house.Marry a senior official in the court and serve as concubines to a large number of old men, or marry a wealthy businessman and landlord in some rural area.

Mo Lan's best choice is to find a poor family with potential.

"Even if you don't mention it, I'll ask you and Chang Feng to participate together. You are all young people. After you get to know each other, you can get along with each other in private. What I inquired is that they have good character, but this is just a rumor. Real people How about the product, you still have to get in touch to know."

After Hualan taught him a lesson, Sheng Hong was more cautious in arranging his children's marriage.

Ordinary people still suffer from it, but they can gain a lot of wisdom.

……

The essay meeting needs to choose the theme, choose the time, and send invitations, which requires a little preparation time.

The Wenhui has not yet been held, and Mo Lan's marriage has not yet progressed.

No one has taken the initiative to promote Minglan's marriage.

On the contrary, progress has been made, and someone has already chased him home.

"My lord, the old lady's old friend, Mrs. He, has come to the house. I want to meet my brothers and sisters. The old lady has ordered you to go to the Shou'an Hall after you leave the Yamen."

After returning home and entering his courtyard, Yang Hao said to Sheng Changbai.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go there."

In this day and age, the way to show closeness to people is to bring them to meet family members.

After Sheng Changbai changed his clothes, washed and tidied up, he came to Shou'an Hall.

Inside, there were four people sitting in the main hall of Shou'an Hall, with Mrs. Sheng and a strange old lady sitting at the top.

Sitting next to him were Minglan and a strange young man.

The two old ones and the two young ones were chatting separately, and the atmosphere looked pretty good.

The rest of the grandchildren of the Sheng family are idlers, and they should have seen Mrs. He a long time ago when they are at home all day.

When Sheng Changbai arrived, these were the only people in the room.

"Changbai, you are back from the Yamen. Let me introduce you. This is the grandmother of the He family, and this is He Hongwen..."

After meeting each other, the two old ladies chatted in the room.

Sheng Changbai and Ming Lan took He Hongwen around the garden of the Sheng family.

Back then, it was necessary for Old Master Sheng to expand the garden for his family.

When guests come to the house, there is always a place to go around, so you don't have to stay in the house all the time.

After coming out, the main thing is to talk with Minglan and He Hongwen.

The two have been in contact with Youyang for a while, so they are already more familiar with each other.

The grandsons of the He family came to the Sheng family, and they also came from Ben Minglan. This is something that both families know in their hearts.

Sheng Changbai followed the two mainly to avoid suspicion.

With Sheng Changbai following him, there would be no situation of being alone or widowed.

With the current relationship between the two of them, it's not suitable for them to get too close.

It is quite troublesome to give two people room to contact without getting too close.

Of course, Sheng Changbai and He Hongwen also chatted a little bit, and the two of them can chat together, that is, the customs and medicine of various places.

He Hongwen did not take part in the imperial examination, but only wanted to practice medicine wholeheartedly.

Sheng Changbai and He Hongwen talked about medicine, which was considered to be an inspection of He Hongwen's professional talent.

He Hongwen's medical foundation is very good, what is lacking now is experience in diagnosis and treatment.

Worthy of the family history of imperial physicians from generation to generation, studying medicine is no better than a scholar who takes the imperial examination. He studies less and suffers a lot.

At this age, He Hongwen has laid such a solid foundation, which shows that he is an intelligent and motivated person.

Being able to learn his major well is a lot of points for Sheng Changbai.

After waiting for the grandparents of the He family to leave, Sheng Changbai called Minglan and asked:
"Sixth Sister, what do you think of Brother He's family?"

"The elder brother of the He family is quite nice, with a good personality and good medical skills. I heard that the elder brother of the He family has already started seeing a doctor." Minglan replied politely.

"In other respects, does Sixth Sister have any comments on Brother He?"

"The elder brother of the He family really has a lot of knowledge. Brother He has also read the medical manuals written by you, second brother." Ming Lan's answer was obviously a bit off topic.

The Three Character Classic brought by Sheng Changbai was promoted with the help of the emperor, and the effect was very good, and it has spread to all counties and towns.

The promotion of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual over the years is not bad, and most of the state capitals in Dazhou can already buy this book.

It is still far from Sheng Changbai's idea that every village has a book, but it is still a big step forward.

"Forget it, Sixth Sister, you are a smart and transparent person, and the old lady will help you check it out, so Second Brother won't ask more about your affairs."

After all, she is still a 13-year-old girl, and Ming Lan is still ashamed to express her feelings.

Minglan's answers were all clichés.

Sheng Changbai really couldn't decide what Minglan's attitude towards He Hongwen was now.

But in terms of external conditions alone, without Qi Heng for comparison, He Hongwen is still excellent in all aspects.

Minglan's impression of He Hongwen should not be bad, and she should still have a positive attitude towards the combination of the two.

It seems that the active one has more opportunities than the passive one.

He Hongwen had already chased him to the capital, and Li Yu, who Sheng Changbai was more optimistic about, was still in Youyang's hometown.

When Li Yu passed the exam in his hometown and went to Tokyo to go to Chunwei.

Maybe Ming Lan and He Hongwen's relatives have been settled.

If you are decisive, you will have a chance, and if you hesitate, you will lose. It is still very reasonable.

Sheng Changbai had finished worrying about the marriage of Sheng Lao Si and Sheng Lao Six, and there was only one Sheng Lao Wu Sheng Rulan in the middle.

Mo Lan has her own little mother to worry about, and Ming Lan has an old lady to take care of her.

Only Rulan was left, who was already fourteen, not too young, only a few months behind Mo Lan.

But Ru Lan's father, Sheng Hong, has been worrying about Mo Lan all this time.

Not to mention that Sheng Hong had a preference for Mo Lan, even if they were ranked according to age, Sheng Hong was right to discuss Luo Mo Lan's marriage first.

On the mother's side, Wang Ruofu also has to take care of Sheng Changbai's marriage, so she doesn't care about Rulan at all.

Rulan is a legitimate daughter, and now it's a situation where her parents don't care about her and her mother doesn't care about her.

"Mom has worked hard these days. I ordered the kitchen to stew some high-quality bird's nests and sent them to my mother."

Wang Ruofu couldn't care about Rulan, Sheng Changbai could only find an opportunity to remind him.

"For you to manage the marriage, mother is willing to suffer a little bit."

Wang Ruofu seemed to be in a good mood, but he could indeed see some fatigue on his face.

There are so many things to prepare for a traditional wedding.

During the busy period before, they were all preparing for the betrothal gift. Now that the betrothal gift has just been delivered, there are still many things to be busy.

The first is to invite guests and distribute invitations.

Marriage is a big event, all kinds of in-laws are old and old, as long as the friendship is enough, the invitations must be sent.

No matter where you are or how far you are from Bianjing, you must try your best to be polite.

According to the closeness, identity, and status of the guests, when to arrange to send them off, and who to arrange to send them off, they are all particular.

The second is the house. Sheng Changbai still lives at home after getting married.

There is no need to buy a house, but the original yard is going to be a wedding room, so it needs to be repainted and decorated.

The entire courtyard of the Sheng family also needs to be repaired as a whole.

Then there are the things that need to be used in the wedding, from the bridal sedan chair, the flag boards played by relying on it, firecrackers, various braziers, and scales.

Red cloth, paper-cutting, dresses for home decoration.

Sheng Changbai got married, of course not just making a few sets of clothes for Sheng Changbai.

Even the servants at home have to make a set of clothes for each of them, so that it is festive and decent for receiving guests.

Then it is to arrange dozens of tables of banquets, all kinds of drinks, tea, precious mountain ingredients, and dry seafood, all of which must be prepared in advance.

It is also necessary to make an appointment on the day of the wedding, the servants who will come to help and the team of chefs from the major restaurants.

For this kind of thing, there are special dentists in Bianjing City.

Dazhou's business is indeed prosperous, and there are prototypes of this kind of wedding company.

"It's hard work, mother. There is still some time before the day. It's better for mother not to work too hard. You still have to pay attention to your body. If the mother is exhausted from this matter, it will be the child's unfilial piety."

Although the wedding process is more complicated, it has a sense of ceremony, but it is really tiring to say the least.

It's better to simply set up a worry-free one, but the thriving Sheng family needs face and dignity.

The female party, Hai Chaoyun, is also the official daughter of the Hai family, a long-time official, and the daughter of a wealthy family, and also represents the face of the family.

No matter which side is concerned, this wedding is not suitable for simple arrangements.

"It is enough for you to have this kind of heart. It is said that there is still some time, but there is still so much time, and the day is less than a month away. How can I not arrange things as soon as possible."

"Yes, but mother doesn't have to take care of everything herself, let the servants do the things that can be handed over to the servants."

At home, only Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai had to go to work normally.

The others, Sheng Changfeng, wanted to send out invitations on behalf of the Sheng family, and Sanlan wanted to prepare gifts for Sheng Changbai, embroidered by himself.

Although Minglan's embroidery is not bad, Molan and Rulan are all partners with Xiuniang, and let Xiuniang be the main force, but this is still a lot of things.

The servants at home are even busier and have more things to do, and there are not enough main managers.

Not only has to send invitations everywhere on behalf of the Sheng family, but also is responsible for purchasing, one person can't wait to be divided into two tasks.

"Take it easy, after I have been busy for a few days and arrange things, I can relax a little bit. When your marriage is over, I will only have to worry about your sister Rulan as a mother."

"During this period, the fourth and sixth younger sisters' marriages are being discussed. I wonder what mother thinks about Ru Lan's marriage?"

Sheng Changbai was waiting for Wang Ruofuti Rulan, and after hearing this, he quickly answered the question.

"I originally wanted to marry Rulan back to your uncle's house. I told your uncle about this idea a long time ago, and your uncle was willing to do so. But recently, I wrote to ask again, and then I found out about you. Aunt Kang, betrothed Yuan'er to your uncle's house, and Rulan is nowhere to be found now."

This time, Sheng Changbai misunderstood Wang Ruofu, and Wang Ruofu's mother didn't completely ignore Rulan's marriage.

It's just that Wang Ruofu planned well. Like many women in this era, he married his daughter back to his natal family.

However, there was only one son in the three generations of the Wang family, and Aunt Kang took the lead in planning the plan.

Not to mention the fact that close relatives are not suitable for marriage, except for the fact that the blood relationship is too close.

In terms of the family background of the Wang family, matching Ru Lan is definitely a good match.

After all, the Wang family is the queen of the grand master, so there is still some shadow left, and the descendants can shade the officials.

Although Uncle Wang's talent is mediocre and he can't achieve much in the officialdom, he is also a stable and stable man, and he is a qualified master of success.

From Wang Ruofu's huge dowry, we can know that the Wang family is rich in wealth.

Although cousin Wang's talent is average, but he is honest enough, he doesn't spend much time and has bad habits.

It seems that like Uncle Wang's, he has the ability to be a conservative master.

You can also rely on the shadow of your grandfather to enter the court and become an official, there is no shortage of ways out.

Apart from the Wang family, it was very difficult for Rulan to find a marriage where the two families knew each other well, the man had an official position, and the family was rich.
