Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 159 Intention (for Subscription)

The old lady's expression changed and she shouted: "Stop, kneel down."

Although Chang Lin definitely didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he could tell who was really kind to him, so he knelt down without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Fang's mother quickly went to guard the door.

Yuan Wenshao said: "Grandma, I have brought you back, so I will leave first."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Erlang." The old lady forced a smile.

"Grandma is welcome."

Yuan Wenshao bowed and retreated.

The old lady looked at Chang Lin who was kneeling on the ground and said with a cold face: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Chang Lin lowered his head and said: "I don't know, but if grandma said I was wrong, it must be wrong. I will admit it if grandma wants to beat or punish me. I just ask grandma not to get so angry."

The old lady sighed after hearing this and said: "I know you are angry with the Qi family, and I am angry too. At that time, I wanted to scold Princess Pingning. But if this kind of thing gets bigger, the one who will have the greatest impact is Ming Yatou. Just Because of this, no matter how angry I am, I can only endure it. Now it would be better if you go and cause trouble in the Qi family. If word spreads, how will your sister behave?"

This era is unfair to women.

Minglan and Qi Heng were in love, but Princess Pingning didn't want to.

But if word spreads, others will just think that Minglan is attracted by Qi Heng's family background and is attracted to him.

This matter has no impact on Qi Heng's marriage.

On the other hand, if Minglan was to be slandered by bad words, just gossip would make her lose the face to live.

If she hadn't taken Minglan into consideration, yesterday when Princess Pingning asked Qi Heng to recognize Minglan as her sister, she would have kicked her away.

"Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will naturally not make fun of your sister's reputation. The grandson has already thought about it. Although many people were watching at the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion, the grandson didn't say anything. Only after entering Qi's house did he give Pingning County The master was embarrassed and spoke up for his sister. As long as the Qi family wants to be proud, it is impossible to spread the news. Those who watch the excitement will only think that I am an ignorant child and won't think much about it," Chang Lin said.

"Even so, you shouldn't go." The old lady said: "With Princess Pingning's temperament, you have embarrassed her. How can she not hold a grudge? What should she do if she secretly retaliates against you in the future?"

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can give my sister a break, I'm not afraid of anything." Chang Lin said without caring.

"If you want to protect Minglan, you have to study hard. In the future, if you are promoted and become a high-ranking official, others will naturally not dare to bully and neglect her. You are still young and act impulsively. Others see you as a child and don't care. Wait for you What if you are older? If you are still so impulsive and get sued, who will protect your sister?" the old lady said.

Although Chang Lin calculated well, the old lady still saw the hidden danger.

Chang Lin was silent for a while and said: "My grandma taught me that my grandson will not be so impulsive in the future and will also study hard."

"Well, get up. Haven't you had breakfast yet? I'll have someone make you something." The old lady said.

"Thank you grandma."

……

"Mother, why do you put on a straight face when you eat in the morning?" Hua Lan said.

Mrs. Wang said without hesitation: "When I got married, although she didn't ask me to serve in the morning and evening, she still asked me to serve the dishes during the meal. I didn't take the initiative to mention it. She wanted to serve the dishes herself. I haven't even spoken yet. , she spoke first. Even if you don’t tell me about the marriage, now I have to take away my rights as a mother-in-law. What else can I do to be a great lady? "

"Mother, I think the Hai family is a nice person. Don't always think about trying to impress your mother-in-law. Treat her like your own daughter. Naturally, she won't dare to be disrespectful to you. Her reputation will be good if it spreads." Hua Lan advised.

"Which daughter-in-law doesn't come here like this? I am a eldest lady who doesn't even have the right to manage the house. If I don't establish my authority, I don't know how she will laugh at me in her heart." Mrs. Wang said angrily.

Mrs. Wang didn't have any thoughts. After all, Changbai was her son, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

The reason why she wanted to set rules for Haishi was that she came here this way, and she also wanted to show off her ability to be a mother-in-law.

As the saying goes, the dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon.

Secondly, as a eldest lady, she did not have the right to run the family, and the Hai family had a higher family status than the Sheng family. She felt that she was weak in front of her daughter-in-law, so she wanted to establish the majesty of her mother-in-law by following the rules.

"Mother, Minglan is always going to get married. When the time comes, the housekeeping power won't be yours? If you continue to make trouble like this, you will make your father unhappy, let Xiaoniang Lin take advantage of you, and you will be even more shameless. ." Hua Lan said.

Mrs. Wang looked a little hesitant when she thought that if Xiaoniang Lin got the power of housekeeping, she would be even more embarrassed.

Hua Lan wanted to persuade her again, but Liu's mother walked in and saluted, "Madam, the master is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Hong walked in.

"Officer."

"Father."

Mrs. Wang and Hua Lan quickly stood up and saluted.

"Haha, sit down."

Sheng Hong smiled and waved his hand, and sat down next to Mrs. Wang.

"What are you two talking about behind closed doors?"

"Just talking about ourselves." Mrs. Wang smiled.

Sheng Hong asked casually, and did not continue to ask, saying: "My mother left me just now and said that she was going back to Youyang's hometown when she was preparing to get married. Firstly, she went to have a wedding banquet, and secondly, she came to visit my eldest aunt. "

"Mother didn't ask me to follow her, did she?"

It stands to reason that when the mother returns to her hometown, she, as the daughter-in-law, will naturally take care of her.

But she didn't want to go to a remote place like Youyang, that would be asking for trouble.

Sheng Hong glanced at her. He and the old lady had excluded Mrs. Wang from the beginning, and had never thought of letting Mrs. Wang go back.

With Mrs. Wang's temper and habit of looking down on the big house, asking her to go back wouldn't cause trouble for the big house.

"My mother meant for Minglan to accompany me," Sheng Hong said.

"Minglan is kissing the old lady, so it would be nice to have her accompany her." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

Anyway, just don't let her go, whoever wants to go can go.

"What mother means is that she wants to put Minglan in your name so that when we discuss marriage in the future, it will sound nicer," Sheng Hong said.

"alright."

Mrs. Wang was a little reluctant, but she still agreed.

"I thought since I have to do it, I might as well put Mo Lan in your name and let mother do it together." Sheng Hong said calmly.

"what?"

As soon as Hua Lan heard what her father said, she knew something was going to happen.

She knew her mother well, and as long as she persuaded her that Lin Xiaoniang would take advantage of buying Mo Lan together, she would be able to calm down and listen.

If Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan would benefit, she would explode.

As expected, Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly and said: "Minglan has no biological mother, so she is raised by the old lady. It can be regarded as fulfilling her filial piety on our behalf, and it can be recorded in my name. Mo Lan can't even think about it. .”

Sheng Hong said displeased: "What's your attitude? You are the mistress of the house and the aunt's mother of the children. In order to make it look good for her to marry, isn't it written in the name of the aunt's mother?" "Oh, the official is now Do you know what you are saying? Why didn’t the officials tell me that the concubines and concubines of other families were all taken care of by their wives since they were young? But the officials said that their close relatives should be disciplined by their mothers. I was too lazy to take care of them, so the officials let their wives take care of them. Never mind. Now you want to record it in my name, it’s impossible!" Mrs. Wang sneered.

Normally, a concubine has a higher status than a slave, and the children she gives birth to are not eligible to raise them.

Instead, he taught the eldest lady to support him. Even when he meets his younger sister, he has to nod his head.

This is also a way for the eldest lady to control her concubines.

Those concubines will be much more honest for the sake of their children.

However, Sheng Hong was a concubine, and he had experienced the pain of separation of flesh and blood, so he let his mother raise the child by herself.

"Is this how you act like a eldest lady? How will you set an example for your daughter-in-law and daughter in the future?" Sheng Hong said angrily.

It's also to blame that Sheng Hong himself is not upright and has no words to refute Mrs. Wang. He can only speak from a moral perspective.

"Dad, Mom, please stop arguing first." Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, Hua Lan quickly advised, "Dad, you'd better ask Lin Xiaoniang about this first. She may not be willing. I'll give you advice from my mother's side. .”

"That's fine." Sheng Hong nodded, stood up and walked out.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There's no way I can agree to this." Mrs. Wang said with an ugly face.

"Mother, why can't you turn around? If Mo Lan marries well, our Sheng family will also be glorious, and it will be beneficial to Changbai. Her future husband will be her father and you, and she can't go around you to get one. Concubine?" Hua Lan advised.

Even if Mo Lan's future husband doted on her, he would not dare to bypass Mrs. Wang to honor a concubine.

If word gets out, people will laugh to death.

"No, I won't agree to anything you say anyway."

Mrs. Wang naturally knew this, but she felt that if Mo Lan married well, Xiaoniang Lin should be proud, which she could not tolerate in any case.

Hualan was a little helpless. When it came to Lin Xiaoniang, her mother lost her mind.

……

"If Lin Xiaoniang hadn't agreed and made my father very angry, I'm afraid the housekeeping power would not have fallen into my mother's hands in the end."

After lunch, Hua Lan also talked about this matter with Yuan Wenshao on the way home.

Sheng Hong ran to talk to Lin Xiaoniang about putting Mo Lan in Mrs. Wang's name. He thought Lin Xiaoniang would be very happy, but Lin Xiaoniang didn't agree at all.

Sheng Hong had a quarrel with Mrs. Wang over this, but Miss Lin didn't appreciate it. You can imagine Sheng Hong's mood.

"Haha, it's normal for Miss Lin not to want to. Although after Mo Lan gets married, her future husband can only honor her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but she is the biological mother after all, so she can't care less. And as a biological mother, if Mo Lan marries well, , she can also get some dignity. If it is recorded in the name of her mother-in-law, these will have nothing to do with her." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hua Lan did not dwell on this, but said: "Guardian, Princess Pingning is really famous for her tricks. She deceived the young master, but when she came to the Sheng family, she did not mention the marriage. Instead, she let the young master know it. Lan being my younger sister has completely cut off my young father-in-law's thoughts."

"The two of them are not suitable, so that's fine." Yuan Wenshao said.

There is a magic saying in later generations that lovers will eventually become brothers and sisters.

In ancient times, the younger sister could not be married.

Of course, Qi Heng recognized Minglan as his sister, and there were only two family members present. As long as they didn't tell anyone, it didn't matter.

That's how it came about. After the death of County Lord Jiacheng, Princess Pingning wanted to fulfill Qi Heng's wish.

"Actually, Chang Lin surprised me."

"What's wrong with Changlin?" Hua Lan asked doubtfully.

Yuan Wenshao told the story of how Chang Lin went to Qi's house to make a fuss and escaped unscathed just to vent his anger on Minglan.

"The Qi family just let him go?" Hua Lan asked in surprise.

"Otherwise? Come to the Sheng family to settle accounts? It's the Qi family who will be embarrassed." Yuan Wenshao said.

"I didn't expect Chang Lin to be so bold." Hua Lan was also a little surprised by Chang Lin's courage.

"This is not just about courage. He had already expected the Qi family's reaction before going to the Qi family to cause trouble. It's a pity that it's your brother." Yuan Wenshao shook his head.

If anyone else had such courage and calculation at such a young age, he would be a good candidate for his future son-in-law.

"What happened to my brother?" Hua Lan asked confused.

If she knew what Yuan Wenshao was thinking, she would definitely be dumbfounded.

How could anyone start looking for a son-in-law at such a young age?

"Nothing. By the way, you said grandma and the others are going back to Youyang?" Yuan Wenshao said, "How about we go and have a look too?"

"What are we going to do?" Hua Lan was stunned.

"It's okay to be in Bianjing. It happened to be cool at that time, so we just went out to play. We could also attend Changwu's wedding." Yuan Wenshao said.

He had been trying to find an excuse to leave Bianjing during this period, but he couldn't think of any good excuse.

He could use the excuse of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but the Yuan family's ancestral home is in Guanzhong.

Youyang is in the south of the Yangtze River. Starting from Kaifeng, he can still pass by Yuzhou. He can also look for opportunities to see if he can get to know Zhao Zongquan and his family.

Even if you can't get acquainted, you can still go out and avoid the limelight.

Hualan didn't know what Yuan Wenshao was thinking, and thought that Yuan Wenshao wanted to attend Chang Wu's wedding just because of her face.

Although Yuan Wenshao is the son-in-law of the Sheng family, he still has a roundabout relationship with Dafang and just gives him a congratulatory gift.

Before, Changsong got married by chance, but now he made a special trip to get married, and the meaning was different.

"Official, you don't need to make a special trip just for me, and Sister Wen is still studying." Hua Lan said.

Yuan Wenshao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was naturally not that stupid. Hua Lan said that he went to Youyang just to find an excuse to leave Beijing.

"It's better to go there. Then you can teach Sister Wen how to read on the boat." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes, mother."

Sister Wen got on the carriage, feeling a little drowsy. When she heard that she was going to go out to play, she instantly became energetic.

"I'm telling you, if you don't study hard on the boat, your father and I will take you back." Hua Lan threatened.

How could Sister Wen be fooled by Hua Lan? She is not stupid. She has already walked halfway and will come back as soon as she said she would. However, she has not set off yet and she is afraid of making her mother angry. She nodded and promised, I will definitely study hard.

"Then I will go back and tell my father and mother the news now," Hualan said.

"Don't." Yuan Wenshao stopped her quickly and said, "We still have a few months left, why are you in a hurry? Let's talk about it next time."

We are already halfway there. If we go back, we will probably stay at the Sheng family again tonight.
