Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 133 Changbai’s good deeds (please subscribe)
On the second day of his appointment, Yuan Wenshao received news from Sheng Hong and came to Sheng's house early.

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised that Yuan Wenshao came over so early in the morning, and asked a few questions, but Sheng Hong made excuses to cover her up.

After Sheng Hong and Chang Bai changed their clothes, the three of them went out.

Because this time it was just for a visit and he didn’t bring any valuable gifts. Sheng Hong only prepared a few of the four treasures of the study, which were not high-quality products.

When Hai Wenyuan got the news, he led his eldest son and personally welcomed Sheng Hong and the others in.

Arriving at the front hall, the guests and hosts were seated. After the servants served tea, Hai Wenyuan looked at Changbai and said with a smile: "At first glance, I thought Grand Master Wang was in front of him."

"Haha, they say my son looks like his grandfather." Sheng Hong said with a smile.

"Haha, not only do you look like him, but your knowledge is also good. If I remember correctly, Mrs. Wang was ranked No. 14 in the Imperial Examination, and your son is also ahead of his peers." Hai Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Excuse me. Quan Zi only knows how to study. How can he compare with his grandfather." Sheng Hong said modestly.

After chatting for a while, a maid came in and saluted: "My lord, the eldest lady said that I have ordered the kitchen to cook and asked my lord to let the guests have dinner."

"I understand, you can go down." Hai Wenyuan waved his hand.

This was an agreement between him and his wife. He was still very optimistic about Sheng Changbai. This time he asked Sheng Hong and his son to visit him just to let his daughter take a look.

If his daughter likes it, his wife will send someone to invite the guests to dinner. If she doesn't like it, she will have other excuses.

Hai Wenyuan smiled and said: "I wonder if your son can get married?"

"No," Sheng Hong said, "I originally planned to wait until after the imperial examination to propose marriage to him, but I haven't had time yet."

"Haha, my second daughter has also reached the age of marriage. I think your son is good. If Brother Sheng doesn't mind, how about we become a family?" Hai Wenyuan said with a smile.

"This is a high achievement for our Sheng family. When I get back, I will ask a matchmaker to choose a good and auspicious day to come and propose marriage." Sheng Hong said happily.

Yuan Wenshao watched the two of them decide on the marriage between Chang Bai and the second daughter of the Hai family, and smiled to himself.

He had long noticed that there was someone behind the screen. It seemed that the second lady of the Hai family had taken a liking to Chang Bai, so Hai Wenyuan agreed.

But he was just here to serve as a backdrop today and didn't interfere.

Yuan Wenshao glanced at Changbai out of the corner of his eye, and saw that his face was expressionless and indifferent, and he was a little impressed.

Whoever it was, talking about his marriage, there would be some expression, but Chang Bai didn't, as if it had nothing to do with him.

From time to time, he would pick up the tea and take a slow sip.

The three of them had dinner at Haijia at noon, and then left Haijia with Hai Wenyuan seeing them off.

Sheng Hong was a little drunk, so Yuan Wenshao helped him get into the carriage and said, "Father-in-law, I'm going back first."

"Well, thank you for your hard work today." Sheng Hong nodded.

"What did my father-in-law say? Changbai is also my younger brother. I can also take part in such a happy event. Why bother?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Haha, when Changbai gets married, you must ask him to toast you." Sheng Hong said with a smile.

After Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Hong separated, they took a carriage back home.

Hualan saw Yuan Wenshao coming back and asked quickly: "How is it?"

"It's been decided, don't worry." Yuan Wenshao smiled.

"Dad, mother said that uncle is going to marry aunt. Is aunt good-looking?" Sister Wen asked.

Yuan Wenshao pinched his daughter's face and said with a smile, "I haven't seen anyone yet. I'll ask your uncle to take you to see her next time."

"Why are you scaring me? How can we meet before we get married?" Hua Lan said angrily.

"Haha, what does this mean? Today, the second young lady of the Hai family is still hiding behind the screen and looking at Changbai." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Can it be the same? My father and mother looked at each other the same way back then. Were they not separated by a screen?" Hua Lan said.

Sister Wen was not happy and insisted on seeing her aunt.

In fact, she didn't know if it looked good or not, she just thought that she would have more people to play with her in the future.

Little did he know that having an aunt was not a good thing. When Yuan Wenshao was having dinner, he mentioned to Hai Wenyuan about sending Sister Wen to Haijia Private School.

The Hai family private school originally had many officials' children, so Hai Wenyuan would not refuse.

In other words, starting from the second half of the year, Sister Wen will go to Haijia to study.

I hope she won't hate her aunt when the time comes.

……

When Sheng Hong and Chang Bai returned home, they went back to the hospital.

When Mrs. Wang saw Sheng Hong coming back drunk, she asked the maid to fetch hot water and helped him take off his coat.

"Where did the official take his son-in-law and son to have a drink? Why did he drink so much?"

"Haha, there is a happy event today." Sheng Hong said with a smile: "Bai'er's marriage has been decided. You go back and find the last matchmaker in Bianjing, pick a date, and go to Haijia in advance."

Mrs. Wang was displeased when she heard this and said: "Official, yesterday you said that I was a woman and didn't understand official matters, so I won't say anything anymore. But after all, I am Bai'er's biological mother, and the official took over my stewardship. I can always make the decision in this matter of getting a wife, right? Now it's good, the official decided to marry Bai'er without saying a word? As a mother, I only found out later which family my son's wife is from, official Where do you put me?”

As she talked, Mrs. Wang felt more and more aggrieved and started to cry.

Seeing her crying, Sheng Hong was a little upset and sneered: "Don't think I don't know what your plans are. You haven't given up yet and want Bai'er to marry your sister's daughter, right?"

Mrs. Wang said with shame and anger: "What did the officer say? Ever since my mother said it that day, I have given up this idea."

"If that's the case, why are you still lending loan money with your sister?" Sheng Hong sneered.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "The loan sharking happened before. The officials scolded and fined me. Why do you keep holding on to it?"

Sheng Hong's face softened a little after hearing this, and said: "The reason why I didn't tell you is because I was worried that you still wanted Bai'er to marry your sister's daughter. It's not too late for you to know now."

"I know the officials look down on the Kang family, so I can't marry a daughter from the Hai family. The Hai family stipulates that a man can only have a concubine when he is [-] years old. It would be great to be their daughter-in-law, but what about the daughter of such a family? Do you want it? I heard that after the eldest daughter of the Hai family left the house, she disobeyed her mother-in-law for three days and forbade her husband from taking concubines. However, the Hai family was of a high family, and her mother-in-law did not dare to be angry. Inviting such a living Bodhisattva to the door, the official How can I be a mother-in-law?" Wang said.

It is said that it takes many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wang was still thinking about her daughter-in-law coming in to show off her mother-in-law's money.

Hearing this, Sheng Hong scolded: "Nonsense, if it wasn't like this, how could we have climbed up to the Shanghai family? As long as you don't stuff people into Bai'er's house without causing trouble, and be a good mother-in-law to you, what will happen?"

After saying that, he left Wei Ruixuan directly and headed to Linqi Pavilion.Mrs. Wang was unwilling to give in, so she went to Shou'an Hall in tears, wanting to ask the old lady to make the decision for her.

After recounting the matter in tears, Mrs. Wang said: "Mother, you said that no son has ever settled down to get married. As a mother, you only find out later that if the news spreads, your daughter-in-law will become a laughing stock, and she won't have the dignity to be seen by others."

After hearing this, the old lady sighed: "I am also a mother-in-law, so I can guess some of what you are thinking. You are just afraid that the Hai family will be powerful and that you will not be able to suppress your daughter-in-law in the future, right?"

Mrs. Wang was exposed and wanted to refute. However, facing the old lady's sharp gaze, she felt guilty and could not say anything to refute. She could only wipe away her tears.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was silent, the old lady said to herself: "When Hong'er was discussing marriage, there were also relatives in the Xu family who wanted to marry their daughters to Hong'er, but I rejected them one by one. And the Wang family and I The Sheng family has never known each other, but the old woman still asked you to be my daughter-in-law. At first, Hong'er's career was smooth, thanks to the help of his father-in-law. You also gave birth to children and took care of the housework. I have never regretted hiring you. What a poor mother in the world. , what do you think is more important, Brother Bai's future, or your satisfaction?"

Mrs. Wang's face turned red when she was told that. She felt embarrassed when she thought that her daughter-in-law was incompetent. She lowered her head and stopped crying.

The old lady continued: "You don't have to worry. Aunt Kong once told me that the morals of the second young lady of the Hai family are all good. After she comes in, you will definitely be able to live in harmony with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Even if you don't marry the daughter of the Hai family, you will marry her." The daughter of the Kang family is your niece. How can you set her mother-in-law's example and discipline her harshly? Wouldn't it be better to go back to Changbai and make a career, and she will be given a royal title? "

The reason why the old lady talked so nice and angrily to Mrs. Wang was because she was indeed wrong to hide this matter from Mrs. Wang.

But the reason why she wanted to hide it from Mrs. Wang was because Mrs. Wang had always wanted Chang Bai to marry Aunt Kang's daughter.

Although she said it twice and never mentioned it again, she never gave up.

The old lady was worried that she was up to something, so she just discussed it with Sheng Hong without telling Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was moved by the old lady and said aggrievedly: "I am not an ignorant person. If the officials had told me properly, how could I have cried in front of the old lady."

The old lady said softly: "I know you are sensible. By the way, did you tell your natal sister about the last time Erlang told Yuner to Changwu?"

"I…"

Mrs. Wang was a little speechless. She mentioned it to Aunt Kang, but Aunt Kang didn't want to, and the two broke up on bad terms.

A few days ago, Sheng Hong found out about the loan sharking and asked her to get the money back, but Aunt Kang scolded her.

To be honest, Aunt Kang really didn't cheat Madam Wang when it came to loaning loan sharks.

The money came from Mrs. Wang, but it was released in the name of the Kang family.

Lending loan sharks is very bad for the reputation, but the Kang family's reputation is already bad, and she doesn't care about it.

Of course, Aunt Kang is not a good person, so she will not help Mrs. Wang make money in vain. She will receive a portion of the money earned as a commission.

The Kang family has to bear the blame, and as long as nothing serious happens, no one will care about it, let alone the Sheng family.

Mrs. Wang suddenly wants to take the money back, so she will naturally lose a lot of money.

The money lost is not capital, but money earned.

This is how Aunt Kang makes money. If Mrs. Wang does this, she will naturally lose money.

Mrs. Wang was scolded by Aunt Kang, so she couldn't talk back. After all, Aunt Kang had indeed made a lot of money for her. It was really unethical for her to take the money back without even saying hello.

Aunt Kang took the opportunity to bring up Yuner's marriage to Changbai again.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to refuse, so she said she would think of a way.

Naturally, she couldn't tell the old lady this, so she could only say: "After all, Dafang belongs to a merchant family, and my sister looks down on her."

The old lady sneered and said: "Although the Kang family is an aristocratic family, your nephew is the only one who is an official now. You know better than me what the Kang family's family background is. The eldest brother dare not say that his family is rich, but he is also very wealthy. His family only has two children. A son will be indispensable even if the family's money is divided in the future. In addition, Chang Wu is now doing well in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Not long ago, his boss promoted him to the rank of team leader, and he was also an official from the ninth rank. Although not Although he is tall, he is better than being young. And with Hualan's husband-in-law to help him in the future, it won't be too bad."

"Speaking of it, it's a good thing to get married. If you really don't want to, I will ask someone to arrange a marriage for him. You have an official status and a rich family fortune, but you still worry about finding a good wife?"

The more Mrs. Wang listened, the more she felt that Chang Wu was good, and she had been in contact with Chang Wu a lot. She knew that he was an honest and progressive child. When the old lady said this, she hurriedly said: "Mom, don't be angry, I will go and tell my sister right now." , it’s such a good marriage, I think my sister will definitely be willing to do it.”

With that said, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

The old lady looked at Madam Wang's furious back, sighed, looked sideways at the back curtain, and said, "Have you heard enough? Come out yet."

Minglan came out from the back curtain with a smile on her face, came to the old lady's side, and said with a smile: "Grandma, am I going to have a new sister-in-law?"

"What's your new sister-in-law? It's like you were married to a married woman. And haven't you heard everything? Why are you pretending to be here?" The old lady patted her angrily.

Minglan blinked her eyes slyly and said with a smile: "Grandma, you asked for the Hai family's marriage, right?"

She didn't think her father had that respect.

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "If your aunt was as smart as you, she wouldn't be able to fool her. The old lady is also a meddlesome woman. Marrying a daughter-in-law is what a mother should worry about, but I want to be meddlesome. However, Changbai is the eldest grandson of the Sheng family and cannot be ignored after all."

"My second brother is very filial to my grandmother. It's right for my grandmother to worry about my second brother. Our Sheng family is what it is today, thanks to my grandmother." Minglan said with a smile.

She actually felt worthless for her grandmother. Sheng Hong's success was all thanks to her grandmother, but she only showed superficial respect for her.

The old lady opened her mouth to scold, but couldn't help but laugh. She pinched Minglan's face and said, "Your second brother is much better than your father back then. He has a father who is from the fifth grade, and there is also an earl." Brother-in-law, he has a decent uncle's family, a well-educated family, and a noble Yue family. In addition, he has a stable temperament and a strategic mind. His future will not be bad, and I am worthy of the Sheng family. In the future, my family will I don't want to worry about anything else, as long as I marry you to a good family, I will feel at ease."

Minglan frowned dissatisfied and said: "Grandma dislikes me so much that she wants to marry me off early. I'm not in a hurry. I want to stay with my grandma for a few more years. And there is Chang Lin. .”

The old lady held Minglan in her arms emotionally and said: "Of course I want you to spend more time with me, but when men are married and women are married, they have to marry in. I can still look after you if you get married early. , so that no one will complain or support you when you are bullied. As for Chang Lin, he is the elder brother, and he will have to make his own future in the future. Besides, grandma doesn’t know if she will survive until then. .”

"Grandmother~"

Minglan hugged her grandmother and cried, saying, "Grandma will definitely live a long life."

"Okay, okay, live a long life. For such an old man, he cries easily and is not afraid of people's jokes."

The old lady smiled and wiped her tears and said, "I told Hualan that during the polo match in a few days, you should stay with her and don't run around, you know?"

"I understand, grandma." Minglan nodded.

Grandma is always like this, arranging everything properly.

　　In fact, in the Song Dynasty, there were not only three people in Yijia. Sometimes there were several people, and sometimes there were two or 30 people.

　　It's just that the top three will be individually called the number one pick and the second and third overall pick.

　　In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were only three people in one class.
