Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 6 Sheng Hong returns home
Yangzhou, at the back door of Tongpan Mansion, Mrs. Wang led a group of children and waited at the door.

Sheng Hong went to Beijing to report on his work and sent someone back in advance to tell him about the good news.

After hearing the news, the head of the family, Mrs. Wang, thought that Sheng Hong would be promoted in the next evaluation, and was very happy.

When I learned that Sheng Hong had arrived in Yangzhou today, I sent my servant to drive to the dock early to wait there. I also told my servant that Sheng Hong would report immediately after he got off the ship.

As soon as the servants reported that Sheng Hong had already boarded the carriage, he asked someone to inform the group of heirs, and then led them to wait at the gate of the mansion.

"It's the same thing, sir. He only sent people to say there was a happy event, but didn't explain it clearly. It was nothing to attract people's appetite." Mrs. Wang looked happy, but complained in her mouth.

"Mom, what kind of happy event can it be for dad to come to Beijing to report on his work? Naturally, he got the news that he is going to be promoted." Sheng Hualan accompanied Wang and said with a smile.

"If you really got promoted, that would be great. It's much easier for you to talk about getting married." Wang said with a smile.

"Mother, what you're saying is like your daughter can't get married."

Although Sheng Hualan was very embarrassed to talk about her marriage, but she and Empress Wang have been talking about these things, and many people came to propose marriage. After hearing more, she got used to it.

"What do you know, if your father is promoted, you can marry any duke's family."

Mrs. Wang was also worried about her daughter's marriage.

Although Mrs. Sheng was born in a prince's palace, her father became a prime minister at the beginning, and after his death, he was awarded the title of Grand Master and was entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

But old Marquis Yongyi has passed away long ago, Mrs. Sheng has lost contact with Marquis Yongyi's mansion, and Sheng Hong is not his biological child.

Mrs. Wang has been dead for many years, and there is not much human kindness left.

Otherwise, Sheng Hong wouldn't be in his thirties, and would be a sixth-rank official.

Mrs. Wang wanted her daughter to marry well, but the family status of the Sheng family was a bit low. The Duke's family didn't look down on the Sheng family at all. The family status was similar to the Sheng family, and the Wang family looked down on it.

If Sheng Hong can really get closer, it will be much easier to find a family that satisfies her.

At this moment, a gracefully dressed woman walked out followed by several maids.

When Wang saw this woman, her face instantly darkened.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Meet the big lady."

Lin Sushuang bowed politely and said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that the master is back? I came here specially to greet him."

"A little concubine of yours deserves to go out to greet her?" Wang said coldly.

The status of concubines in ancient times was very low, and it was even common for men to send concubines to each other.

Su Shi's song "Jiang Chengzi" makes people moved by its deep affection. However, Su Shi once gave his concubine to someone else, but she still got pregnant.

The status of concubines in ancient times can be imagined.

Although Lin Sushuang didn't sell herself to be a good concubine, but a concubine is a concubine, and she can't even show her face to the guests, let alone go out to meet Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hualan hurriedly pulled Wang and whispered: "Mom, dad will be here soon. If you argue with her at the door, dad will be angry again. Besides, it won't sound good if word spreads."

Although Sheng Hualan has just reached the age of ji, she is precocious in ancient times, and her mother and Lin Sushuang have often fought a lot these years, so she knows that if there is a fight, it will be the mother who will suffer in the end.

In ancient times, officials were relatively mobile, so in addition to their offices, yamen also had dedicated places to live.

When Sheng Hong took office in Yangzhou, he did not buy a house. The family lived in the backyard of Tongpan Mansion.

In order to make it easier for family members to enter and exit, the back door of Tongpan Mansion has been enlarged a lot, and it is no different from the door of an ordinary house.

So looking for a relationship is called going through the back door.

The location where they are now is the back door of Tongpan Mansion. In the past, there were very few pedestrians passing by. Today, because a large group of people from the Sheng family gathered at the door, many people watched from a distance.

If a quarrel breaks out, Mrs. Wang is afraid that she will have a jealous reputation.

Although Wang's temperament is straightforward, she is not stupid. Hearing this, she snorted coldly and did not attack.

Lin Sushuang glanced at Sheng Hualan in surprise, her original intention was to anger Mrs. Wang, and Sheng Hong would come back later, although she would not punish Wang, she would also go to her to rest at night.

Sheng Hong had been away from home for a while, so she naturally wanted to please Sheng Hong, for fear that Sheng Hong would go to the capital and be blinded.

Sensing Lin Sushuang's gaze, Sheng Hualan glanced at her lightly, then withdrew her gaze and whispered to Wang Shi.

"Interesting." Lin Sushuang smiled slightly.

But she didn't pay too much attention to it. After fighting with Mrs. Wang for so many years, she knew Mrs. Wang's character and temper very well, and she had many ways to deal with her.

Sheng Hualan is already hairbombed and will have to get married sooner or later. So what can she do no matter how powerful she is?
"Dad is back!" Sheng Changfeng saw his carriage from a distance and clapped his hands and shouted.

Wang cast him a glance, reprimanded: "Screaming, what's the point?"

Sheng Changfeng's face turned pale with fright, and he lowered his head.

Although he was raised by Lin Xiaoniang, Wang was his legitimate mother after all and had the right to discipline him.

In Sheng Hong's absence, Wang frequently reprimanded and punished him.

"Ma'am, although Feng'er was rude, it's because she misses her father. It's human nature." Lin Xiaoniang said lightly.

She knew Mrs. Wang and knew that Mrs. Wang had always wanted to deal with her.

Sheng Hong was not at home, and the Wang family had the final say in the house. Although she was unhappy with Mrs. Wang's punishment of Sheng Changfeng, she could only endure it.

If Mrs. Wang really caught her, no one would help her without her backer.

Now that her backer is back, she naturally won't bear it anymore.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips and said, "I just don't understand the rules."

"What are you talking about, Ma'am? The master loves this concubine and can't bear the separation of mother and child. I ask myself and teach me carefully. A few days ago, the academy lecturer praised Feng'er for her academic progress. Why are there no rules?" Lin Xiaoniang His eyes were red, and he said pitifully while wiping away his tears with a handkerchief.

"If you cry, you will cry, and you will be treated like an official." Wang said with a curl of her lips.

"Mom, stop talking, dad will be here soon."

Sheng Hualan was speechless. Since you know what your father is doing, why are you still provoking her now?
The carriage stopped slowly at the door, Chun He jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain.

Sheng Hong leaned out of the carriage and saw his wife and children waiting at the door. A smile appeared on his tired face, but when he saw Lin Xiaoniang with reddish eyes, the smile faded a bit.

"I've seen the officials."

"The child has seen Daddy."

"My concubine has met the master."

Wang led a group of sons and daughters to salute Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the benches arranged by the coachman, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not at home during this time. Is everything okay at home?"

Wang said with a smile: "Everything is fine, but the officials send a letter saying that there is a happy event, and let my mother and I guess for a while."

"We'll talk about this matter after we visit our mother," Sheng Hong said.

The Great Zhou ruled the country with filial piety, and filial piety was the most important thing. As an official, he cared more about it. Otherwise, if he was impeached by the censor for being unfilial, he might lose his official position.

Sheng Hong was not the old lady Sheng's biological child, so he was afraid of being picked out by others, so he greeted the old lady every morning and evening, never too many, and when he returned home from other places, he naturally went to see the old lady immediately.

PS: Some people say that the protagonist wants to save Miss Wei is a bit poisonous, and how to explain it if someone finds out. After all, you can't know anything about his inner house.

Let me explain here, when the protagonist asked Gu Tingye to bring the letter, he said, well, let him not show up, let alone he asked him to bring it, he had already considered this aspect.

If you don't like it, you can give your opinion. It's up to everyone whether Wei Xiaoniang is dead or alive.
