"Yes, didn't I just have a plan?"

Gu Tingye replied in embarrassment, Sheng Changbai's reminder brought Gu Tingye back to reality.

As the greatest contributor to the emperor's succession and the most popular person in front of the new emperor, everyone was holding Gu Tingye up during this period. No one wanted to offend Gu Tingye, so no one mentioned this matter.

But it doesn't mean that this incident never happened. In fact, it hasn't been two years since Gu Tingye pissed off Gu Yan to death.

Not to mention how much responsibility Gu Tingye has to bear, but Mr. Gu Yankai gave birth to Gu Tingye once.

At least Gu Er shouldn't have made such a big show of marrying a new wife during his filial piety period.

"It's not too late to plan until the filial piety period is over. During this time, you can take care of your family's affairs. Get your house in order, and wait for your wife to marry in, so that you can live with you in peace." Sheng Changbai persuaded me with good words.

If the house is not cleaned up, even if Gu Tingye marries a daughter-in-law, it is impossible for the daughter-in-law to live in peace at home.

Although the emperor gave Gu Tingye a big house - Orange Garden, it seems that Gu Tingye can be regarded as completely separate and live on his own.

But Chengyuan and Ningyuan Houfu are separated by a street. It is obvious that Zhao Zongquan deliberately wants to cause trouble between Gu Tingye and Ningyuan Houfu.

Of course, the emperor could not have purely good intentions, just to reconcile Gu Tingye and his family.

After all, the emperor is a political figure, and everything he does is in the service of politics and calculations.

Gu Tingye is the upstart of Yuzhou who lived in Bianliang with Zhao Zongquan.

And because of the background of the second son of the Hou family, he was born to belong to the old nobles in the court.

Gu Tingye's dual identities are naturally suitable for the emperor to reconcile the relationship between the new nobles in the court and the old nobles.

If Gu Tingye wants to play a role, he must not let Gu Tingye leave the Ningyuan Hou Mansion and stay away from the old noble group.

Therefore, Gu Tingye was given a mansion next to the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, just to prevent Gu Tingye from getting involved with the Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

"When I have free time, I will deal with the family affairs... I must take back what belongs to me." Gu Tingye replied angrily.

What he wants to get back is, of course, the hereditary title of the Gu family and the 50 taels of silver that Gu Tingye's mother married into the Gu family.

Although Gu Tingye is not a person who is determined to retaliate, he has suffered a serious injury and it is impossible not to have the idea of ​​​​retaliation.

Xiao Qin's and Gu Tingyu made a big deal of it, and the two teamed up to drive Gu Tingye out of the Gu family, almost making Gu Tingye unable to turn over forever.

Now that Gu Tingye has gained power, of course he still wants to take revenge.

The method of revenge is, of course, to prevent the wishes of the two people from coming true.

The two people were messing with Gu Tingye to prevent Gu Tingye from getting the title and property of the Gu family. Gu Tingye taking these away could be regarded as the greatest revenge on the two people.

"It's hard for an honest official to decide on family affairs. You can decide for yourself about your family's affairs."

The affairs of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion are too complicated, and it is difficult for Sheng Changbai to express any opinions.

Just to persuade Gu Tingye not to waste time, to do more serious work, and not to compete with the Gu family, it is impossible for Xiao Qin to let Gu Tingye go.

Although the eldest Gu Gu Tingyu now inherits the title of Marquis Ningyuan, Gu Tingyu is in poor health and has no son yet.

Gu Tingye, the second eldest son, was ranked higher in succession to the title than Xiao Qin's own son, Gu Laosan.

This fight between the stepmother and the cheap son is definitely unavoidable.

"Let's go, let's see Yuan Ruo go get married." The Gu family's affairs were not suitable for deep conversation, so Sheng Changbai changed the subject.

The wedding between the top nobleman of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the granddaughter of the prime minister was considered to be the top wedding in the Great Zhou Dynasty besides the royal family.

Even the queen mother, the emperor will also send eunuchs to congratulate her and give some goods, which can be regarded as followers.

The scene is much grander and more luxurious than the Sheng family's wedding.

Qi Heng's parents are both rich. Princess Pingning inherited most of the property accumulated by the Marquis of Xiangyang for several generations. In addition to the property inherited from his ancestors, Duke Qi also managed the salt business with sufficient oil and water for many years.

Only Qi Heng, an only son, finally found something that could make him spend money, so he decided to die.

All aspects were done to the highest level without violating etiquette.

Just for the money, more than a million dollars were spread out. It can be said to be a wedding of the century in this era.

It's not a loss to see this excitement.

"Big lady, young master, you went to Qi's house for a banquet today, and the fourth girl came back again."

Of course, Sheng Changbai didn't go to Qi Heng's wedding alone, all members of the Sheng family also went.

It's just that the male guests and female guests were separated, and Sheng Changbai was not with the women at home.

"Why did she come back again? There's no reason for a married daughter to run home every three days."

Wang Ruofu complained with quite a sour taste, this is why Wang Ruofu is jealous.

Because Hua Lan was in charge of Uncle Zhongqin's residence, it would take several months before he could go back to the Sheng family except during holidays.

Usually, the mother and daughter want to meet each other, but they have to wait for someone's family to host some kind of banquet.

It's not like Mo Lan went back to her parents' home so frequently. She came back four or five times in less than ten days after she got married.

"Mother, have you seen the benefits of a low marriage for your daughter? After Mo Lan gets married, she can often go back to her natal home, and after Ru Lan goes out, she can also come back often." Sheng Changbai replied.

Generally speaking, women in this era still do not often return to their parents' homes.

If the family business is small, women need to farm and weave to support the family; if the family business is better, they need to manage the family business.

It's unrealistic for Rulan and Molan to go back to their mother's house frequently.

But it is still possible to come back three or five times a month.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, Ru Lan must live in the capital.

"Since you are married, you should live in someone else's house and think about what it is to go back to your mother's house all day long. I don't know why she came back this time, and she told your father about her grievances. Don't let me stand out " Wang Ruofu continued to complain.

Mo Lan went back to her parents' home so frequently, so of course she felt uncomfortable staying in her own home.

The yard Wen Yanjing rented was not big, and Mo Lan was not used to it in many aspects.

More importantly, even if Wen's family is a poor peasant family, Wen Yanjing's mother also asked Mo Lan to obey the rules.

Now that there are two women in the family who are qualified to be the head of the family, of course they still have to compete.

Wen Yan respected his mother and did not look down on Mo Lan at all because he was born in the Sheng family.

As far as Wen Yanjing's mother is concerned, she is very similar to Youyang Sun Shentong's mother in all aspects of her personality.

The difference between the two is that Sun Prodigy did not succeed in the exam.

Wen Yanjing passed the Jinshi examination, so Wen Yanjing's mother has more confidence to subdue her daughter-in-law.

Wen Yanjing's mother asked Mo Lan to stand by the rules, which was much more demanding than Wang Ruofu asked Hai Chaoyun.

Not just serving three meals a day, getting up early and saying hello in the evening.

Molan also needs to wash and cook, make beds and make quilts.

It was Wen Yanjing's mother who supervised Mo Lan to do it herself, and what she wanted was for Mo Lan, a daughter of a noble family, to be docile and make her daughter-in-law a docile one.

Mo Lan is a smart woman, and she knows that this happens to all women.

I still gave my mother-in-law face and was a good daughter-in-law for three days.

But three days later, the Wen family showed no signs of restraining herself, and Mo Lan was not used to it.Because of her natural identity suppression, Mo Lan did not choose to be hard-topped, but she did not cooperate at all.

Either reporting sickness to rest or hiding back to her mother's house, the most prominent one is the attitude of not serving.

After returning to her natal home, she went to Lin Baoshuang to report her grievances, and then the two of them went to Sheng Hong to complain.

I hope Sheng Hong can find Wen Yanjing, and ask Wen Yanjing to restrain his mother.

There is nothing wrong with the Wen family in this matter, every family is like this.

Being unreasonable and making trouble is not Sheng Hong's style, and Sheng Hong is embarrassed to find Wen Yanjing.

I just want to persuade the arrogant Wang Ruofu to go to Wen's mother-in-law to argue.

Upon hearing this request, Wang Ruofu naturally refused to stand up for Mo Lan.

But he couldn't bear Sheng Hong's nagging all day long.

Why shouldn't people think that the daughter of the Sheng family is easy to bully?

If Mo Lan was bullied at her husband's house and no one cared, others would think that Ru Lan was easy to bully.

In short, Wang Ruofu will be very annoyed by the fact that Mo Lan returns to her parents' home.

"Mother, if father wants to find you, just turn him away. If the fourth sister wants to go home, just let her go. She basically doesn't come to Wei Ruixuan anyway."

It seems that Mo Lan probably just wants to hide in her parents' house and help her mother-in-law return to her hometown.

Obviously, it will take a few more days, probably after Wen Yanjing releases the official and leaves Beijing, and Wen Yanjing's mother and younger brother will not be able to return to their hometown.

"The daughter this little mother taught me really has no rules. She can't even do basic filial piety to her mother-in-law."

Wang Ruofu, Mo Lan's aunt, spoke like Mo Lan's mother-in-law instead of her natal family.

In fact, in general things, Mo Lan still behaves like Ru Lan. Mo Lan knows restraint like Ru Lan, and she can hide and act a lot.

If she could marry into a high-ranking family and meet a mother-in-law with a higher status than herself, Mo Lan would probably be better behaved than anyone else.

But after all, the Wen family only came from a poor farming family. The Wen family was originally just a rural woman, and her son became a Jinshi before she became an official family member.

Sheng Changbai felt that it was impossible for such a rural woman to make Mo Lan docile.

"Why did mother mention this again? You shouldn't say such things."

"A slip of the tongue."

Because Sheng Hong is a concubine, such offensive words about a concubine are still not allowed in the Sheng family.

Wang Ruofu was really angry, so he couldn't control his mouth. Probably during this period, Sheng Hong was really annoyed.

After a few more days like this, it was the day when Ru Lan got married.

There is actually no difference between Ru Lan and Mo Lan's marriage process.

Both of them married new scholars, so the man's status can be said to be equal.

Compared with Jinshi status, there is not much difference between the two families whether they were originally wealthy businessmen or farmers.

Sheng Hong didn't value his concubines to begin with, and it was Mo Lan who he preferred more. It was impossible for the Sheng family to treat the two sons-in-law any differently.

The same banquet was held, the same guests were invited, and Ru Lan was married off in the same way.

Even Mo Lan's dowry had to be extra, and it wasn't prepared by Sheng Hong. It was all packed in a cage, so it couldn't be seen from the outside.

After going through the same process again, Rulan got married.

After marrying the two troublemakers, Sheng Changbai felt much less pressure.

After all, when a daughter gets married, she becomes a member of another family. If the two of them cause trouble, it will be the husband's family that loses face, and the Sheng family will suffer a small part.

Even if two people committed any crime, according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the Sheng family would not be implicated.

After three days of returning home, Rulan also wanted to hold a Guining banquet this time, and the Sheng family gathered a lot of people this time.

Hua Lan brought Yuan Wenshao and a couple of children, and Mo Lan brought Wen Yan to Jingdu.

It was the most crowded one. After there were more people, the gathering was quite lively and the atmosphere was good.

Just after listening to Ru Lan's brief words, I knew that Ru Lan's situation was still better than Mo Lan's.

Of course, there are necessary procedures such as standing rules, but Li's mother-in-law is not so harsh on Rulan.

Compared with the Wen family, the Li family is a businessman. They have traveled all over the world, have seen a lot, and gained a lot of knowledge.

She will not be like the Wen family woman, blindly confident, thinking that her son will be no weaker than anyone else if he becomes a Jinshi.

The Li family became more awake and understood that even if Li Yu won the Jinshi, it did not mean that the Li family would be equal to the Sheng family.

I understand that for Li Yu's career to go smoothly, the support of the Sheng family is indispensable.

Still trying to treat Rulan as kindly as possible, although she also made Rulan stand by the rules.

But Rulan is just serving three meals a day, standing up to a few boob dishes, relatively speaking, it is much easier to accept.

But after finishing the meal, Rulan still had some problems.

"Second brother, I also want to stay in the capital." Originally, mother and daughter were chatting again, but when she saw Sheng Changbai coming in, Ru Lan asked Sheng Changbai for help.

"What do you want to do in the capital? Do you want to learn from the one in Lin Xige? Your husband is going to be an official in another place, so why don't you follow your husband and stay in the capital to guard an empty house?"

Before Sheng Changbai answered, Wang Ruofu said quickly, it seems that before Sheng Changbai came in, the mother and daughter had already had some communication on this matter.

"Fifth Sister, since my brother-in-law is going to work abroad, of course you have to go with him. The most important thing for you now is to pay for the Li family. If you don't want to go to work with your brother-in-law, you want to spend more money." Are a group of concubines and concubines coming out?" Hua Lan followed Wang Ruofu and said.

Hualan has been troubled by the issue of giving birth to a son for a long time. Now, Hualan takes the issue of heirs more seriously than most people.

"Brother Yu is going to Qingzhou to be a recorder and join the army. It's on Jingdong Road, and it's not a remote and cold place. Why don't you go?" Wang Ruofu asked.

The positions of Wen Yanjing and Li Yu have already been divided.

Because he thought that Rulan would not be able to endure the hardships of the poor land, Sheng Changbai still gave some activities, and Li Yu went to Qingzhou.

Sheng Changbai didn't intervene at Wen Yanjing's words, and was transferred to Binzhou on Guangnan Road as a manager to join the army.

Both of them are ninth-rank officials, and it is a normal arrangement for both of them to rank in the imperial examination.

Sheng Changbai gave Li Yu activities, that is, he arranged people in Shandong, where the environment is not bad.

Wen Yanjing was assigned to the remote Guangdong and Guangdong provinces as part of the normal arrangement for new scholars.

This is the result of Sheng Hong's greeting, trying to allocate people to peaceful and wealthy places in remote areas.

With this relationship, it's not that Sheng Hong's connections are not as good as Sheng Changbai's, it's just that the degree of intention is different.

Guangdong and Guangxi in the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet undergone large-scale development, and they were generally still wild lands used for distribution and demotion of officials.

Guangdong and Guangxi in Dazhou are sparsely populated, there are no four seasons, it is hot all year round, and there are many snakes and insects.

Moreover, the mountains and forests are full of miasma, making it easy for outsiders to contract malaria.

In this era, malaria is considered an incurable disease without specific medicines, so you can only fight it hard. Once infected, you will never survive.

In summary, it is not suitable for survival. (end of this chapter)
