From the red building to penetrate the heavens

April 28th was a good day. For the sake of Jia She's current career prospects, Uncle Yongchang and Mrs. Wu went to the door of Sheng's house in person with gifts to propose marriage to Jia She.

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were flattered to see that even Uncle Yongchang was present in person, and they hurriedly and enthusiastically welcomed the guests into the house.

Naturally, the marriage of Jia She and Liang Han has also been decided. As for the official engagement date and wedding day, they are both big gifts, and they have to be calculated by a master.

When Qi Heng heard the news, he happily went to Princess Pingning and begged her to propose marriage to the Sheng family.

Princess Pingning measured the gap in status and power between the two parties and found that the Sheng family was now on the rise. Not to mention Sheng Hong himself had a prosperous official career; his two sons Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were also Jinshi and entered the officialdom; and the three father and son His wife's clan is very powerful; as for in-laws, his eldest uncle is Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Zhongqin family, who is doing well in the army, and his second uncle is Liang Han, the fourth son of the Yongchang family. The capable people who have passed the imperial examination are now editors of the Hanlin Academy and close ministers of the emperor.

On the other hand, the power of the Queen Mother as an adoptive mother has declined. As the new emperor's throne becomes more and more stable, the Queen Mother is getting older and no longer powerful. Her own position of power in the court has also declined; There is no real job in the school, and there are no talented brothers to support him. Otherwise, there is no need for his son to take the imperial examination for his life, and he can just become an official.

Although his son Qi Heng successfully passed the Jinshi examination a month ago and served in the Hanlin Academy, as the old saying goes, if there is no support in the court, it will be difficult for him to have an official career in the future.

I want to hire a noble girl for him, so that my in-law family can support her in the future. Qi Heng has also married a first wife. He is a widower. His talents are also ordinary. Good families will not marry girls off easily.

After many calculations and repeated weighings, Princess Pingping discovered that the increasingly powerful Sheng family was actually the best choice.

Princess Pingning was silent, feeling a little regretful in her heart. If she had known this, she should have fulfilled Qi Heng's wish and settled on Miss Sheng Liu, so as not to have caused those disasters in the past to happen.

After understanding the current situation, Princess Pingning began to pack up the gifts and prepare to go to the Sheng family to propose marriage. However, she did not expect that the news would be known to Gu Tingye, who was also preparing the betrothal gift.

Gu Tingye knew very well that based on the things he had caused before and the old relationship between Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan, whether it was Old Mrs. Sheng's displeasure with him or Sheng Minglan's decision, he was destined to be rejected. that person.

So, just like in the original plot, a big net once again covered Ru Lan.

On May 28, just ten days before the official appointment of Yongchang Bofu, Jia She received the message from the nail placed in the Sheng family - Sheng Rulan and Wen Yanjing were caught having a private meeting.

This piece of information shocked Jia She. During these days, he was called by the emperor to read papers every day. He was dragged over by his bosses and colleagues to discuss articles. Jia She always felt that his mind was in a mess. All the books he had read to the emperor had been interpreted. That knowledge; the articles and strategies I discussed with my superiors and colleagues, the poems, calligraphy and paintings I reviewed, I am busy talking about it all day long, and I don’t know what day it is.

Except for Lin Sushuang and Liang Han themselves, they had no intention of caring about anyone else in the Sheng family.

No, just forget about Gu Tingye plotting against Sheng Rulan in order to marry Sheng Minglan.

Misstep, misstep, almost ruined something big, wasted the opportunity to slap Sheng Minglan in the face and expose Sheng Minglan's mask.

Tsk, Jia She thinks he has to think carefully about how to hold grudges for Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan.

When he first watched the TV series, Jia She looked down on the male and female protagonists of "Knowledge" in every possible way. He felt that their characters were flawed and had great shortcomings. The heroine Sheng Minglan, everyone said that she is smart and alert, transparent and prudent, kind and tolerant, affectionate and righteous, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, able to see into human nature, and has a conscience, and will not harm innocent people easily.

However, in Jia She's view, this is not necessarily the case.

It is undeniable that Sheng Minglan has done quite well in many things and deserves all the praise above, but she has also done many despicable things.

The first thing is that Sheng Minglan plotted against Sheng Molan.

With Sheng Minglan's intelligence and agility, she could still win against the elite Xiao Qin. Jia She didn't believe that she couldn't see the reason behind Wei Shuyi's death. He didn't believe that she didn't realize that the murderer was not just Lin Sushuang, but also Lin Sushuang. Wang Ruofu, the old lady, and even Wei Shuyi himself were also involved.

And, she herself is one of the murderers.

If she really couldn't see through it here, she would have been killed by Xiao Qin's family long ago, and she would be so suppressed that she couldn't breathe. There would be infinite scenery behind her, and Gu Tingye's support was not omnipotent or all-the-time.

Since she knew there were so many murderers, why did she only focus on Lin Sushuang and Sheng Molan?

Is this because the persimmons are soft?

The old lady is Sheng Minglan's supporter, and she has a good upbringing. She has deep feelings and doesn't want to be moved; Wang Ruofu is the aunt's mother, with a deep background, and if she falls, Sheng Minglang, who is not married to Yunying, can't please her, so she doesn't dare to move. Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, was the eldest son of the Sheng family, and would be the backer she could rely on in the future after she got married, so she didn't want to move; Sheng Hualan, Sheng Rulan, was Wang Ruofu's daughter and Sheng Changbai's biological sister, so she didn't dare to move.

After pulling and pulling, Lin Sushuang and Sheng Molan were left alone and weak.

There is no right or wrong in fighting in the back house. Everyone is just fighting for survival resources and living resources. Some people only have different positions.

To be honest, from Sheng Minglan's perspective, Jia She can understand her desire to avenge her mother, but he cannot agree with her plot to murder Sheng Molan.

If Sheng Minglan kills Lin Sushuang, Jia She will applaud him; if Sheng Changfeng's reputation is ruined, his reputation is ruined, and his future is ruined, Jia She can also praise him, because no matter what, Sheng Changfeng is still a man, and the Sheng family will not lose him. His future and family fortune will not be ignored, and he can also have a wife and family to rely on.

However, Jia She was conflicted by plotting against Sheng Molan, a girl.

In this world, women have the most difficult time, especially before Sheng Molan got married. Apart from quarreling with her little sisters, vying for Sheng Hong's favor, being a little competitive and showing off, she didn't do anything bad, so she really didn't have to. To the point of being plotted and ending up miserable.

Moreover, Sheng Minglan's plan also harmed Sheng Hualan, who treated her very well, causing her to be teased by her mother-in-law; it also indirectly caused injuries to Sheng Hualan's eldest son and daughter.

It is true that Sheng Molan has a lot of responsibilities. She cannot resist the temptation and wants to follow the dragon and the phoenix. However, the culprit is Sheng Minglan. Without her calculation and provocation, Sheng Molan and Lin Sushuang would not be so impatient that they would be in chaos and think that they have to choose one of the two. , and it is a time-limited situation, thus causing trouble.

After all, before Sheng Minglan made the move, Sheng Molan had not taken a fancy to Liang Han, and even looked down upon Liang Han; no matter how much she liked the handsome Qi Heng, she did not do anything to him; no matter how powerful Gu Tingye was, I can also see clearly that it is impossible and stop thinking about it.
