Chapter 369 Shooting yourself in the foot

Shou'an Hall, in the courtyard.

Minglan was dressed tightly, with a snow-white mink vest wrapped around her body, and a scarf made of red fox fur around her neck.

Beside Ming Lan, Wang Zhong was dressed in a black robe, with a jade crown tied around his hair, and in his left hand was holding a long sword with a sheath wrapped in black linen on the hilt.

Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Ming Lan, and said softly, "Please trouble Sixth Sister to help me get the scabbard first!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong drew his sword out of its sheath. The sword was three feet two inches long and only two fingers wide. There are faint lines appearing.

Wang Zhong put the scabbard on Ming Lan's palm, walked to the courtyard a few steps, turned his head and smiled at Ming Lan, and said loudly: "Sixth sister, just watch!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong moved. There was nothing strange at first, but as the sword unfolded, Xiao Minglan, who was holding the scabbard, was dumbfounded in an instant, and she couldn't bear to blink.

Xiao Xiaotao, who was already as tall as Ming Lan, also opened her mouth wide, and she was shocked to see Wang Zhong, who was as agile as an ape in the courtyard, and with a long sword like a dragon, following the transformation of his body, he moved and jumped with him. The walking long sword swayed like a sword light like splashed ink...
After half a cup of tea, Wang Zhong put away his sword and stood up, holding the long sword upside down in his right hand, and walked in front of Minglan.

Asked: "How does Sixth Sister feel?"

"It's so beautiful! What a powerful sword technique!" Ming Lan said in shock.

"The Du Gongbu of the former dynasty praised Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance in his poem: Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, and he was as good as the emperors and dragons flying. He came like a thunder and received his anger, and he was like a river with a clear light. Unexpectedly, there is a sword like Gongsun. Wu such exquisite swordsmanship!"

Although Minglan is only nine years old, she has been studying with Zhuang Xuejiao for more than half a year. Like Li Taibai, the poet fairy, and Du Gongbu, the poet saint, she has already read many poems. , read it several times.

Wang Zhongdao: "Sixth sister, would you like to learn this sword technique with me?"

"Yes!" Minglan nodded immediately, "Brother Zihou, please teach me!"

"Although all kinds of weapons lead to the same goal by different routes, there are also differences and different emphases. Let's say that the way of swordsmanship is to use lightness, agility, and movement. Based on the four mother swords of 'strike, stab, grid, and wash', the thirteen moves of swordsmanship evolved."

"When I was learning swords with my mentor in the past, the mentor once said: "Sword Manual" says that those who want to learn swordsmanship should first practice internal bravery, secondly practice external skills, and finally teach gimmicks and footwork. After three years, they will chase after the cliff Above all, those who can stab the ape softly with a bamboo branch will be taught the true meaning of archery."

"Ah?" Minglan was a little at a loss when she heard that, but she still wanted to chase the cliff and stab the ape with a bamboo branch?
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Sixth younger sister practiced swordsmanship only for the purpose of strengthening her body. Of course, there is no need to follow the scriptures. Sixth younger sister is still young, so she can forget her external skills for now, but it's better to practice her inner courage. After she has the foundation, How about I teach the sixth younger sister the technique and footwork, and after the sixth younger sister masters it proficiently, I will teach the basic sword skills, and then advance to this sword dance?"

"Let it be arranged by brother Zihou!" Ming Lan said.

"That being the case, let's get started!"

Of course, Minglan can't practice those kung fu that stretches muscles and bones, but she can still practice boxing and foot routines that strengthen her body and activate meridians.

"Brother Zihou, can Xiaotao follow along?" Ming Lan looked at Wang Zhong and asked charmingly.

Wang Zhong rubbed Ming Lan's head and said, "Of course it can!"

Minglan quickly winked at Xiaotao, tugged at the hem of Xiaotao's clothes, the silly Xiaotao finally realized, saluted and thanked Wang Zhong.

Although Xiaotao looks stupid, she may not be a good-natured person like Guo Jing.

Anyway, one sheep is going to be chased, and two sheep are also chased, so it's okay to bring a Xiaotao.

Wang Zhong immediately began to teach the master and servant two basic fists and kicks.

Under the corridor of the main room, the shock in the eyes of the old lady Sheng who was holding the stove was about to dissipate, and the eyes of the nurse next to her were also full of surprise. She had a child in her family, and she followed Old Madam Sheng since she was a child. When Madam Sheng was young, Lord Hou was still at the peak of his spring and autumn. Nanny Fang used to follow Old Madam Sheng to watch Master Hou practice martial arts.

Although the two did not understand martial arts, they still had some eyesight, but Wang Zhong's sword dance just now really shocked them both.

The old lady Sheng looked at Wang Zhong who was patiently teaching Minglan and Xiaotao the basic skills in the courtyard, and she nodded slightly involuntarily, but then she remembered something, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a bit of worry in her eyes when she looked at Wang Zhong .

In the forest dwelling pavilion.

Lin Sushuang, who only applied a little powder and no pearls, only hung a strand of her forehead. Although she was a woman who had given birth to two children, Lin Sushuang was well maintained. Both her figure and her skin were very good. Standing out, and the charm of a mature woman on her body is more alluring than those virgin girls.

Lin Sushuang had already ordered Xia Xueniang beside her to wait for Sheng Hong at the second gate. In the small kitchen, all the ready-made food was heated in the steamer, and the wine was still warming in the small stove.

"Auntie! Why isn't father here yet?" Lin Sushuang didn't rush, but Mo Lan, who was still young, didn't have her concentration.

"Don't worry, my son! Didn't Xueniang go to meet your father already!" Lin Sushuang comforted her daughter softly.

"Xue Niang has been gone for so long!" Mo Lan muttered.

Lin Sushuang said: "Maybe it's because something happened in the yamen that delayed it."

Mo Lan obviously got a little impatient waiting, and Lin Sushuang could only console her patiently.

After a while, the voices of female envoys greeting suddenly came from outside.

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Lin Sushuang hastily ordered the maid serving beside her to bring up all the meals in the small kitchen, prepared the wine utensils herself, and tidied up her clothes a little. He straightened up again, and he had already walked in front of the mother and daughter.

"Hiroro is here!"

"Daughter pays respects to father!" Lin Sushuang hurriedly led her daughter Mo Lan to greet Sheng Hong Fu.

Sheng Hong Shiran walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile on his face, "There is no need to be polite, just sit down!"

Lin Sushuang, on the other hand, carried the jug, and walked to Sheng Hong's side gracefully, and said softly, "It's freezing outside, Hong Lang has worked hard, let's have a glass of wine to warm up first!"

What Sheng Hong likes is Lin's thoughtfulness and meticulousness, unlike Wang Ruofu, it's fine if he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he will carry a gun with a stick, which can choke people to death.

After drinking a glass of wine, Sheng Hong smiled even wider, grabbed Lin's hand and said, "Shuang'er, sit down and eat together!"

Lin Sushuang immediately sat beside Sheng Hong, and helped Sheng Hong fill up the empty ones. If Mo Lan was not there, Lin Sushuang might not be sitting on a stool, but Sheng Hong's thighs, and threw herself into the stool. Sheng Hong was in his arms.

Sheng Hong was already in a good mood, and Lin Sushuang was a person who was used to observing words and expressions, so he could make Sheng Hong laugh out loud with a few words. , provoking Sheng Hong's affection.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Sushuang's voice suddenly changed, and she talked about Hua Lan's marriage: "Seeing that the big girl's good news is about to come, Hong Lang is busy again!"

Although there was a smile on her delicate and pretty face, a bit of disappointment flashed away in her eyes.

Sheng Hong didn't notice it at all, and just followed Lin Sushuang's words, and said with some emotion: "Yes, in a blink of an eye, Hua'er is about to get married!"

Hua Lan's marriage is scheduled for the eighth day of March this year. It is a good day carefully selected by the Yuan family. Hua Lan is also 16 years old. If this time is married in the real world, it is naturally early, but now In this world, neither sooner nor later is just right.

Lin Sushuang carried the jug again to fill the empty glass for Sheng Hong who had just finished drinking the wine in the glass: "The eldest girl is the eldest daughter of Hong Lang, and she is married to the eldest son of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion. All the glory and wealth!"

Sheng Hong said, "Although the Yuan family is an uncle's residence, it has only been revived for 30 to [-] years. The family may not be as well-off as ours, that is, it is protected by an earl's title."

If it was before, Sheng Hong would not dare to say such a thing, but in the past few years, Sheng Wei has done a good job in business, sending gold and silver treasures, pearls and jade, silk and satin cloth every year, which has increased several times compared with the previous years, and gave Sheng Wei a lot of money. The wife's filial piety is much more than before.

Money is a man's guts, and when he has money in his pocket, Sheng Hong will naturally be tough when speaking.

"The Yuan family is the uncle's house after all, even if the future descendants have no talent in reading and cannot take the imperial examination, they will still be able to become officials through grace!"

Lin Sushuang's heart is bright. In the original plot, why did she disdain Wen Yanjing, whom Sheng Hong saw as a young and handsome man? She just saw that Wen Yanjing came from a humble family background and had no other property. , the family is weak, and if he wants to win wealth, he has no other way out except to concentrate on studying the imperial examination.

But as she spoke, Lin Sushuang's crescent eyebrows frowned tightly, and she glanced at Mo Lan next to her, her eyes soured, and she raised her hand with a handkerchief to wipe away her tears: "Now even Miss Six has Entrust, but we, Moer..."

"Don't worry, Shuang'er. Mo'er is the daughter of my Sheng family. Although the eldest lady is not on good terms with you, she will not ignore Mo'er's lifelong affairs!"

Lin Sushuang sobbed and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest lady will blame me in her heart, refuse to take care of her, and make things perfunctory!"

Looking at that lovely and pitiful appearance, Sheng Hong's heart ached.

"Shuang'er, don't cry, don't you still have me! I am Mo'er's father, and I will take Mo'er's lifelong events into consideration. Besides, Mo'er is still young now, so I will wait a few years , Mo'er is older, how about I personally find a good husband for her?"

"Is what Hong Lang said true?" Lin Sushuang's crying stopped and she looked up at Sheng Hong and asked.

"Of course it's true!" Sheng Hong assured.

Lin Sushuang quickly winked at Mo Lan, and Mo Lan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Daddy!"

It was night, and Sheng Hong naturally stayed at Lin Xi Pavilion. After all, Lin Sushuang was his love. After some cloud and rain, the two curled up in the bed, lying on each other's necks, resisting the bone-chilling chill of winter.

Sheng Hong closed his eyes and was enjoying the warmth of the quilt, his face was full of comfort, Lin Sushuang whispered in Sheng Hong's ear: "But what happy event happened? Hong Lang is in such a happy mood today?"

Sheng Hongren closed his eyes, and said: "Today, the officials summoned Zihou, and after some questioning, they were very satisfied. The style of the boy when he was young."

"The official's evaluation of Wang Zihou is so high?" Although Lin Sushuang is a housewife, she is also from a family. She has read poetry and books, so she naturally knows what Fan Wenzheng is.

Although he was relegated, he was able to posthumously title Wenzheng after his death, which shows his influence, his status in the hearts of officials, his weight in the eyes of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and in the eyes of scholars all over the world.

Sheng Hong said: "Gold will shine sooner or later. Although Zihou is young, he is talented, cautious, prudent and sophisticated. He doesn't have the spirit of a young man. He is naturally a good material for an official career."

Hearing what Sheng Hong said, Lin Sushuang was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Is this Prince Hou really that powerful?"

Sheng Hong said: "I have seen a lot of talents in these years. It is not uncommon for young people to be famous. It may be compared with Zihou, but there is no one. The only thing worse is his family background. But now Zihou Hou made an engagement with our Sheng family, and he will be the son-in-law of the Sheng family in the future, and those old in-laws of the Sheng family are naturally his old in-laws."

Lin Sushuang suddenly said, "Hong Lang is so eccentric!"

Sheng Hong was bewildered by Lin Sushuang's sudden surprise: "Why am I biased?"

"In terms of age, the eldest girl has already been engaged, so it's better to get married. Among the three remaining girls in the family, Mo'er is the oldest, followed by Rulan, and finally Minglan. The fifth girl is also Forget it, she is Hong Lang's concubine daughter, and she is still relying on the Wang family. Naturally, there will be no shortage of good marriages in the future, but Hong Lang didn't consider Mo'er's marriage first, but gave the youngest Minglan to Wang Zihou. Isn't it biased?"

"This..." Sheng Hong sighed helplessly, "Hey!"

"It's Zihou himself who said by name that he will marry Minglan in the future, how can I be partial again!" Sheng Hong really couldn't argue.

"Didn't Hong Lang deceive me to stay in this back house all day long so that I don't know the world? When the prince Hou came to ask for it, he clearly said that he wanted to repay Hong Lang's support and support, so he asked to marry our Sheng family's wife." Miss, but how old is that girl Minglan, she is just a little doll of eight or nine years old, and although Wang Zihou was not yet crowned at that time, he was still a 19-year-old man, how could he fall in love with that little doll of Minglan."

Speaking of this, Sheng Hong's face immediately changed, and he suddenly felt that the beauty in his arms was not so sweet: "You still have the nerve to say, if it wasn't for you deliberately sending someone to delay the time that day, making Wei Shi difficult to deal with, Ming Lan Such a small girl, do you need to run out of the house with all your strength to find the doctor by yourself?"

"That's fine, why is Hong Lang bringing up these old things again?" Lin Sushuang didn't expect that she would shoot herself in the foot today. Although Sheng Hong has slowly regained her love for her these days, there are some things. It's fine if you don't think about it on weekdays, but once you pull it out, it will be a thorn in your heart.

Sheng Hong said angrily: "Didn't you mention it first! Do you know why Zihou only fell in love with Minglan?"

Lin Sushuang regretted endlessly in her heart, but the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to regret, so she could only shake her head to indicate that she didn't know the reason.

Sheng Hong explained: "It was precisely because I saw that girl Minglan running to the street alone to save her birth mother who had a difficult childbirth that day, which left a deep impression on Zihou, and made Zihou feel that that girl Minglan was a little girl. At such a young age, she had such courage and determination, and now she was brought by her mother to raise her personally, so she came here to ask for marriage."

"I have to blame you for this matter. If you hadn't made a mistake, hated your mother, and was raised by your mother by her side, maybe it was our Mo'er, and the prince Hou came to ask to marry him, maybe it was the same. We, Moer."

Sheng Hong's words directly stunned Lin Sushuang, after all, it was all her fault, but she was caught by the old lady, the evidence was conclusive, and Sheng Hong Getting angry, after half a year of confinement, Sheng Hong's anger finally dissipated, but he didn't expect that he would be self-defeating today, but instead provoked Sheng Hong to think about it.

Sure enough, while speaking, Sheng Hong had already let go of Lin Sushuang's hand, lifted the quilt, turned over and got off the bed, and called a maid to help him get dressed.

"What is Hong Lang doing?" Lin Sushuang hurriedly corrected her attitude, bit her lip, and said pitifully, "Shuang'er already knew she was wrong!"

In fact, this incident has been going on for so long, and Sheng Hong stopped being angry a long time ago. On the contrary, he ignored Lin Sushuang for half a year. Sheng Hong also missed Lin Sushuang in his heart, after all, Lin Sushuang was Sheng Hong's love.

It’s just that Wei Shuyi almost died of dystocia, and Xiao Changdong almost died in the womb. If it’s just Wei Shuyi, it’s nothing more than a beautiful girl. Sheng Hong is not lacking, but Changdong is a son, so that’s all. It's different.

Moreover, each of these incidents was reminded to Sheng Hong, telling him that he loved Lin Sushuang too much in the past, which made her so lawless that he even dared to murder the heirs of the Sheng family. , If you continue to let it go like this, don't you want to repeat the mistakes you made when you were young?
Sheng Hong saw that he was only wearing a bellyband and his snow-white fragrant shoulders were exposed, and he felt distressed. He was about to say something, but suddenly his heart was agitated, thinking of all the past, he quickly looked away, and forced himself to say with a cold face: "I suddenly want to Wake up, there are still some business affairs that have not been dealt with, I have to go to the study, I don't know when I will finish my work, I won't be back tonight, you should rest earlier, don't wait for me!"

It can be seen that Lin's quilt was not covered, her shoulders were bare, and it was so cold outside, but she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she immediately reminded: "It's so cold, go back and fall asleep!"

Lin Sushuang had already grasped Sheng Hong's temperament clearly, just by looking at Sheng Hong's expression and reaction, he knew that it was not a good time to be soft and hard, and Dang Li said with concern: "It's cold today, and the study is so cold. , Hong Lang remember to ask the servants to burn more charcoal, if there are too many official duties, let’s do some of them first, and it won’t be too late to do the rest tomorrow!”

"I know, you should rest earlier!" Sheng Hong was afraid that he would be shaken if he stayed any longer, so he put on his clothes, explained something, and turned around and walked away quickly.

Lin Sushuang, who was left alone on the incense couch, shivered from the cold, and quickly got back under the blanket.

How could Lin Sushuang, who had been sleeping with him for more than 20 or [-] years, not notice Sheng Hong's deliberate alienation from himself? He is cautious, and he keeps his own place on weekdays, and dare not be like before, grandiosely pulling a group of children from the family to make his mother-in-law, and singing against Wang Ruofu.

An Ansheng's cat lived her little life in the forest dwelling pavilion.

Of course, the reason why Lin Sushuang is so peaceful is also because Lin Sushuang's confidantes were dismissed by Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu one by one after the Sheng family left Yangzhou, except for Xia Xueniang who was close to her. The staff of Lin Xige had been changed all over the place, and even a few members of the Lin clan who came to seek refuge with Lin Sushuang were sent away by Sheng Hong.

Now the housekeeper of the Sheng family is Wang Ruofu, and all the properties under Lin Sushuang's hands have been taken away by Sheng Hong. Lin Sushuang only has some personal money and jewelry and fabrics saved over the years.

Without property, it means that there is no hen to lay eggs, and the money in his hand will eventually be spent, so Lin Sushuang naturally dare not be too jumpy.

Seeing Sheng Hong leave, Lin Sushuang regretted endlessly in her heart, she behaved well, what she did to bring up those past events, she just asked Sheng Hong to alienate herself, and she didn't know how long it would take for Sheng Hong to come back after leaving.

"Hey!"

At this point, Lin Sushuang could only sigh helplessly. Although she gritted her teeth and regretted it, she could only seriously summarize it and try not to make such a low-level mistake next time.

Naturally, Wang Zhong didn't know, but because of his intervention, Sheng Hong finally realized what was wrong with him, and his attitude towards Lin Sushuang had already changed.

But even if Wang Zhong knew about it, he probably just laughed it off.

Lin Sushuang's ranking in the house fight is indeed not low, but Wang Zhong didn't intend to meddle in the affairs of the Sheng family's inner house at all. Give some money and let Wei Shi use it to buy people's hearts.

However, after the Wei family's difficult incident last time, it may be difficult to kill people in the inner house struggle of the Sheng family. The family gave birth to a son and spent the noble concubine who scattered leaves, which is equivalent to making great contributions to the family, and that can also be included in the family tree.

In the future, if Changfeng and Changdong compete, even though they won't be able to earn their biological mothers, it will also allow them to make more entries in the Sheng family's genealogy.

This girl, Minglan, has average talent in calligraphy and painting, especially in writing. She has been learning from Zhuang Xuexue for more than a year, and she is still as good as a chicken's paw. The talent in martial arts is also average. Although this girl's memory Good, but the physical coordination is not too high, it can only be said to be a middle-aged posture.

And this girl has a lazy temperament, she was fine for the first two months, and she could persist, but after a long time, if Wang Zhong didn't come, she would just hang out her nets every day, pretending to be, and rarely went fishing , just practice a little bit every day, move your hands and feet, that's all, only when Wang Zhong comes, you will work hard.

The road to martial arts is long, difficult, and never-ending. With Minglan's lazy attitude, she can't learn anything. It's a pity that she has a talent for sword dancing. Seven or eight, after two months, it has already made a good appearance.

On the contrary, Xiaotao, a silly-looking girl, has an introverted temperament like Guo Jing. Wang Zhong asked her to punch three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening. Do it right.

Originally Minglan was the main character and Xiaotao was just incidental, but in fact it was completely reversed.
