Chapter 179 Temptation (for subscription)

"Grandma." Minglan bowed and saluted.

"Tomorrow, come and talk to grandma."

The old lady looked at Minglan who had lost a lot of weight and felt very distressed.

Because Princess Pingning asked Qi Heng to recognize Minglan as his sister, Minglan was sad for several days and lost a lot of weight.

After finally recovering, something like this happened again.

When Minglan came to her side, the old lady took Minglan and sat down next to her, and said: "It stands to reason that the deceased is the eldest, so I shouldn't say more, but first the officials covered it up, and now the Rong family girl has committed suicide again, right?" It's a good thing for you. I've asked people to inquire about it, and no one outside is talking about you at all."

"Now that Qi Heng has been engaged to the Lord of Jiacheng County, there is absolutely no room for change. The Liang family must know about your kidnapping. With the behavior of the Lord's family and the large population of the Liang family, the situation is relatively complicated. Even if Now that you are married, it is inevitable that someone will make an issue out of this."

"I know the old lady of the He family very well. She is not a superficial person. With her medical skills, she can also tell whether you are still a virgin. Moreover, the people of the He family are simple. I listen to what Old Mrs. He means. She is older. , after He Hongwen gets married, he will return to his hometown in Baishitan to take care of his old age and teach He Hongwen medical skills. If you marry him, you can stay away from Bianjing, a place of right and wrong, and live a harmonious and beautiful life."

The old lady finished her thoughts in one breath, looked at Minglan and said, "What do you think?"

"Grandma, my granddaughter has been selfish in the past and has let down her painstaking efforts. My granddaughter knows that grandma is doing her best for her. Grandma can make the decision about marriage. Granddaughter has no objection. But granddaughter has something to ask grandma." Minglan said.

"Tell me about it," the old lady said.

"In the past two days, my granddaughter has often dreamed of my little mother, and she wants to ask someone to do a ritual for my little mother," Minglan said.

The old lady muttered: "This is not a big deal, but you are not suitable to go out now, so let Chang Lin go. If you are worried, let Cui Wei accompany you. Cui Wei is a prudent girl, so leave this kind of thing to her. no problem."

Minglan shook her head and said: "Grandma, it's not that my granddaughter doesn't trust Cuiwei, it's just that Changlin is still young, and because of the adoption, he has a lot of resentment towards his father. I don't want him to get involved in my mother's affairs now. I want to go there in person." One trip.”

"Okay, your father will come back later, I'll tell him, but when you go, you have to bring more guards with you." The old lady hesitated and agreed.

"Thank you, grandma. My granddaughter will go back first and prepare." Minglan said.

"Go." The old lady nodded.

Minglan stood up, bowed, and left.

"Old lady, Miss Six is ​​going out at this time, in case..." Fang's mother said worriedly.

The old lady shook her head and said: "Then King Yong has achieved what he wanted. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, even if the officials don't care, the princes in the court should have opinions. At this time, he should not attack Minglan. ”

"Ming'er is such an open-minded and cheerful person, but now she doesn't have a smile on her face at all. It would be good for her to go to her mother's grave to talk to her. I'm really worried that she has been holding it in for a long time and it has been broken."

When Fang's mother saw that the old lady had an idea, she didn't say much. Instead, she said, "Then the Gu family is going to hold a thank you banquet, and only the female family members will be invited. They sent a message to the family, inviting the eldest lady and the three girls to go. Just now the eldest lady sent someone. Let me ask, will Miss Six be there then?"

"I won't go tomorrow. Although no one is talking about this matter at the moment, the Lords of the Bianjing family know something about it. It is inevitable that someone will deliberately cynicize a few words. If I go, won't it cause trouble for her? You ask someone to go back to the eldest lady. , it means that your child is not feeling well, just ask her to take Mo Lan Rulan with her when the time comes." The old lady said.

"Yes." Fang's mother responded.

……

In the evening, Sheng Hong and Chang Bai took a carriage home together.

After entering the door, Sheng Hong said: "The Hanlin Academy is not only noble, but also relatively leisurely. When you are on duty, you can read more old official documents, but don't just read them. Walk around with your colleagues more often. "

"Yes, I have remembered it," Changbai replied.

"In the officialdom, no matter the official position, likes or dislikes, there is no need to deliberately flatter or alienate." Sheng Hong passed on his own way of being an official to his son.

Although Chang Bai didn't agree very much, he nodded in agreement without refuting.

The father and son talked all the way, and when they just passed the corner gate, a maid came to greet them.

The maid bowed and saluted, and said: "Old lady, please invite me to the Shou'an Hall."

"Okay, I understand. You go back to your mother, and I'll change my clothes and go pay her respects," Sheng Hong said.

"Yes." The servant girl replied.

"Okay, you didn't say that I haven't been feeling well these past two days. You should go back and have a look soon. If you are really feeling unwell, you should call a doctor. Don't delay." Sheng Hong said.

"Thank you for your concern, father. Madam, she just has no appetite and there is nothing wrong with her health. In addition, she doesn't want to cause trouble to the family in these troubled times, so she didn't ask a doctor." Chang Bai said.

"You still have to ask for it. You go and have a look first. If it's better, that's it. If it's still the same, call a doctor quickly. Many illnesses are minor illnesses that become serious ones. You have to take it seriously and not be careless." Sheng Hong warned.

"Father, don't worry, the child knows." Changbai responded.

Sheng Hong nodded and walked all the way to Wei Ruixuan.

"The official is back! Where is Bai'er?" Mrs. Wang got the news and came to the door.

"I asked Bai'er to go see his wife. Please change my clothes quickly. My mother is looking for me," Sheng Hong said.

"Quick, wait for the officials to change their clothes." Madam Wang ordered.

The maids quickly found clothes and helped Sheng Hong take off his official clothes and put on his regular clothes.

Mrs. Wang personally arranged Sheng Hong's clothes and said with a smile: "Now that the official and Bai'er are officials in the same palace, it will become a good story."

"Bai'er's official career is much smoother than mine. When I won the imperial examination, I was released to the outside world. I worked in the local area for more than ten years before becoming a capital official. Bai'er worked in the Hanlin for several years and was released to the outside world. After a few years in the local area, and a few more years in the six ministries, there may not be a day when he will become the prime minister in the future." Sheng Hong said.

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this, and after a while she said in surprise: "What do you mean, the official, Bai'er can become your husband?"

Even though her father was called Grand Master, it was also a posthumous title. In fact, at the highest level, he was still one step away from being the husband-in-law.

However, this step was the most difficult. Mrs. Wang could not make it until her death.

"I just said it's possible. Don't go out and talk nonsense. And whether Bai'er can go as I want will depend on the support of his in-laws. Don't always show off to your daughter-in-law." Sheng Hong said.

"When did I show off to her?" Mrs. Wang said unhappily.

Mrs. Wang didn't like this daughter-in-law before she met her. Because of this mentality, even if Haishi couldn't find fault with her after entering the house, she still couldn't like her.

When the old lady went to Youyang, she still wanted to cause trouble for Haishi and show off to her mother-in-law.

As a result, everything Heidegger did was impeccable, and she couldn't find any reason for the attack.

Of course, Mrs. Wang didn't know that Changbai taught her all this.

Changbai knew his mother's character very well and had already told Haishi about her.

Therefore, Haishi was able to prevent Mrs. Wang from finding an excuse to have an attack.

However, although Mrs. Wang is a bit petty, she is upright and not completely unreasonable.

She couldn't find the reason for the attack, so she didn't make it difficult for Heide.

But this made her feel even more depressed. "You haven't shown up yet? My daughter-in-law has been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Have you paid attention to her? If you, the mother-in-law, don't go, how could you let me, the father-in-law, go?" Sheng Hong said angrily.

"If she is really unwell, why doesn't she ask a doctor? I think she just makes excuses not to come and say hello. How can a daughter-in-law not come to say hello to her parents-in-law, and why her mother-in-law should go see her?" Mrs. Wang said without hesitation.

"Whether she is real or pretending, you, mother-in-law, should always go and see her. Don't forget, Changbai's future depends on the Hai family. Think about it yourself."

After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he walked away.

……

Sheng Hong came all the way to Shou'an Hall, walked into the front hall, and saluted: "My son has met his mother."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Sit down."

Sheng Hong sat down under the old lady and asked, "I wonder what the mother wants to give her when she comes to find her son?"

"You are now a father-in-law, and maybe you will be a grandfather soon. There are some things that I didn't want to say more about, but I really can't stand it anymore." The old lady said with a cold face.

Sheng Hong was stunned and said in confusion: "My son is scared. He really doesn't know why he made his mother angry."

"Do you still remember what Mother Kong said at the beginning? You should treat your children with a bowl of water and a bowl of water. Tomorrow will encounter a disaster. Several days have passed. Have you visited her?" the old lady asked.

"Mother has wronged her son. My son is busy with official duties these days and really can't spare any time. My son will go see Ming Yatou soon." Sheng Hong said quickly.

The old lady's face softened a bit and she said: "Although you are not my biological child, I know your temperament very well after being mother and son for so many years. Don't use your busy schedule to excuse me. Do you think it's obvious that the girl is being raped? Taking him captive will bring shame to the Sheng family, right?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong quickly shook his head and said: "The mother has wronged her son, how could the son think so!"

In fact, this was exactly what Sheng Hong was thinking. If it weren't for the old lady, he would have wanted to send Minglan to the nun Guanzi to become a monk for the sake of the Sheng family's reputation.

In Sheng Hong's eyes, the Sheng family's reputation is more important than anything else.

Or rather his reputation.

"I don't care what you think in your heart. As long as I'm not dead, as long as you still recognize me as your mother, I don't want to hear anyone talking about Ming girl being kidnapped at home. No matter who it is, if you dare to take this If things cause trouble for Ming girl, my old lady will turn her back and deny anyone else." The old lady said coldly.

"Don't worry, mother. My son has already confessed it. No one in the family dares to mention this matter." Sheng Hong quickly assured.

The old lady nodded and said: "I asked you to come here to ask for a favor from you. Ming girl has been dreaming about her little mother these days and wants to go to Sanqing Temple to ask someone to do a ritual for her little mother."

"Mom, it's enough for you to agree to this at this young age. You don't need to ask me." Sheng Hong said.

The old lady shook her head slightly and said: "After all, you are the head of the family. Now that the world is in chaos, there is nothing wrong with you not allowing your brothers and sisters to go out. No matter what, I must ask for your opinion."

"It's out of filial piety that this girl wants to perform rituals for her little mother, so my son will naturally not object," Sheng Hong said.

"Okay, you've worked hard all day. Go back and rest." The old lady said.

"Then my son resigned."

Sheng Hong stood up, bowed to the old lady, and walked out.

After leaving Shouan Hall, Sheng Hong thought for a while and headed to Mu Cangzhai.

Mu Cangzhai is connected to Shouan Hall. It was originally moved here because the housekeeper Minglan found it inconvenient to live in Shouan Hall.

Although Minglan later handed over the housekeeping rights, she did not move back to Shou'an Hall.

Minglan heard the servant say that Sheng Hong was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

As soon as he came out of the hall, he saw Sheng Hong.

"My daughter has met her father." Minglan saluted.

"No need to be polite. My father has been busy with business these days and I haven't been able to come see you. I just went to pay your respects to your grandmother. I passed by and came in to see you," Sheng Hong said.

"Thank you for your concern, Father. Please come inside, Father."

Minglan invited Sheng Hong into the hall and sat down, and ordered the maid to serve tea. When the maid brought the tea, she personally carried it and placed it on the table next to Sheng Hong.

"You also sit down and talk to my father." Sheng Hong said.

Minglan bowed and sat down at the bottom.

"I heard from your grandmother that you have been dreaming about your little mother these days and want to perform a ritual for her?"

Sheng Hong held the tea bowl and fiddled with the tea leaves with the tea lid in one hand while speaking.

Minglan nodded and said, "My daughter has been dreaming about my mother these days. She said she was lonely, so I wanted to perform a ritual for my mother."

Sheng Hong took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said: "You are also filial, I'm sure. I will ask the lady to send you some money. If you want to do it, do it well."

"Thank you father. My daughter has also saved some money over the years, which is enough for a ritual ceremony." Minglan said.

"Well, if it's not enough, just tell the lady." Sheng Hong said.

For a moment, the father and daughter didn't know what to say and fell into silence.

Sheng Hong felt that the atmosphere was a bit cold, so he picked up the tea and drank it.

"Father."

"Huh?" Sheng Hong asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Minglan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Dad, do you still remember what my little mother looked like? She died so tragically at that time. I feel uncomfortable thinking about it now. Dad, you said you have so many children, why do you just have so many children?" My little mother is having a difficult delivery. Do you think this is due to bad luck, or is there another reason?"

According to the agreement between her and Aunt Wei, if no evidence was found, Aunt Wei would not be able to come to Bianjing.

She said this just to test Sheng Hong's attitude.

If Sheng Hong had any feelings for her mother in her heart and was willing to avenge her mother, she would give it to Sheng Hong directly after meeting Aunt Wei and getting the evidence.

If Sheng Hong didn't want to avenge her little mother, she would have no choice but to do it herself.

Sheng Hong's face froze and he said: "This woman gave birth to a child, which was originally a door to hell. Your mother was not blessed. Fortunately, Chang Lin survived successfully. Your mother must have felt relieved before she died. This is also It’s a sad thing, don’t think about it too much in the future.”

"But when my daughter dreamed about my little mother, she pulled me as if she wanted to say something. Do you think her death was not that simple? Maybe she didn't die in childbirth?"

At the end of the sentence, Minglan stared closely into Sheng Hong's eyes.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes, and he quickly calmed down. He frowned and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to say that your little mother was killed by someone?"

　There's something going on today, that's all.The boss checked and found that I couldn't write at work.Usually, when leaders conduct inspections, they have to work overtime and hold meetings very late at night.
