Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 109 Aunt Wei’s counterattack
  Because there was no morning court the next day, no one woke Sheng Hong up.

It was already bright when Sheng Hong woke up.

After a romantic night, Sheng Hong's mind was still a little blank when he first woke up. Looking at Lin Xiaoniang with her pink arms wrapped around him and her face moisturized, the scene from last night appeared in Sheng Hong's mind.

But before he had time to savor it, he suddenly realized that it was already bright and he had to go to greet Mrs. Sheng, so he quickly got up from the bed.

Sheng Hong's movements woke up Lin Xiaoniang. Lin Xiaoniang opened her eyes and said lazily: "Hong Lang, you tormented me for so long last night and got up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer."

"Go to sleep. It's getting dark now, and I still have to pay my respects to my mother."

I have to say that Lin Xiaoniang is very good at catching men's hearts. Because Sheng Hong stood up, the quilt slipped down, revealing a large area of ​​spring scenery. Coupled with her lazy tone, she said that she had been tossing for so long last night.

Not only is it very tempting, it's also full of a sense of accomplishment.

"You can go to sleep. I have paid my respects to my mother, and I have to go to the Imperial City for duty."

After saying this, Sheng Hong put on his inner clothes, called the maids to help him get dressed, and after washing, he went to Shou'an Hall.

……

When Sheng Hong came to Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Sheng and Minglan were eating breakfast.

"I met my father."

When Minglan saw Sheng Hong coming, she quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks and stood up to salute.

Sheng Hong nodded slightly, saluted the old lady and said, "My son wants to say hello to his mother. Because he has been tired recently, he fell asleep. Please forgive me."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit down and eat something together. Girl Ming, give Dad a bowl of porridge."

Old Mrs. Sheng naturally knew where Sheng Hong was working hard, but it was hard for her, the aunt, to say anything about this kind of thing, and there were still children there.

"Thank you mother!"

Sheng Hong sat down next to the old lady, took the porridge handed over by Ming Lan, and said, "Ming'er, sit down and eat."

"Yeah." Minglan nodded, sat back in her seat, and continued eating.

The ancients were very particular about eating without talking or sleeping. The only sounds that followed were the slight clash of bowls and chopsticks and the chewing of pickles.

Mrs. Sheng finished the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm done eating. You guys eat slowly."

Sheng Hong quickly drank the porridge in the bowl and said, "Mom, the child has eaten too."

"You are a man, in your prime, how can you eat this little? Is my food not to your liking?" Old Mrs. Sheng said.

"My son never has a big appetite in the morning," Sheng Hong said.

Mrs. Sheng was too lazy to care about him. She told Minglan to eat slowly and stood up.

Sheng Hong quickly stepped forward to help the old lady and sat down on the Arhat bed in the outer hall.

Sheng Hong took advantage of the opportunity and sat down next to the old lady and said: "Mom, I thought about it last night. Now there are three girls at home. It's not a problem to stay at home and learn to be female workers. Why don't we let them go to private schools too? Although my daughter’s family doesn’t need to learn a lot about everything, it’s always good to know more about the principles. Otherwise, I won’t be laughed at by others for acting like a small family when I go out in the future.”

"Yes." Mrs. Sheng nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but there are a few brothers at home who are studying abroad. Have you considered it?"

"My son has thought about it. They are still young now, so it doesn't matter. When they are older, they can put a screen behind them or stop reading." Sheng Hong said.

"Since you said so, let's do it." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

After the matter was agreed upon, Sheng Hong chatted with the old lady for a while and then left.

When I returned to Wei Ruixuan, I told Mrs. Wang about this and asked her to arrange for someone to rearrange the classroom. Then I changed into official uniform and went to work.

Mrs. Wang didn't have any objections to San Lan going to study. The only dissatisfaction was that Mo Lan and Ming Lan also went.

Ming Lan is now living with the old lady and is reading. Why is Mo Lan, a concubine, reading so many books?

But she only dared to say a few words after Sheng Hong left, and she didn't dare to say it to Sheng Hong's face at all.

……

Minglan had breakfast, stayed with the old lady for a while, and then ran to Aunt Wei's yard to see her brother and mother.

After a period of recuperation, Aunt Wei had completely recovered. She looked at Minglan teasing her younger brother and asked with a smile how Minglan was doing with the old lady.

When she learned that Sheng Hong asked San Lan to study in a private school, she felt that the matter was not that simple.

If Sheng Hong had already had this idea, he should have said it long ago.

However, it happened that it had only been a few days since Zhuang Xuexue arrived.

Recalling that Sheng Hong spent the night in Lin Qige last night, Aunt Wei felt that this matter was probably related to Lin Xiaoniang.

It was probably Lin Xiaoniang who wanted Mo Lan to study. Worried that Sheng Hong would not agree, he proposed that Sanlan go together.

But if so, it's back to the previous problem.

Why didn’t Miss Lin say it earlier and later, but why did she say it at this time?
  "My dear, what's wrong with you?" Minglan asked with concern when her mother looked wrong.

"Tomorrow, do you still remember what I told you before?" Aunt Wei said.

"Remember, my mother said not to stand out and pretend to be stupid, just like Xiao Tao. I remember it all. I have learned some of the things my grandmother taught me, and I still pretend not to have learned it." Minglan said proudly.

"That's good. When the time comes when you go to private school to study, you should do the same, you know?" Aunt Wei warned.

"I know." Minglan nodded.

"Okay, you've been here for half an hour, it's time to go back." Aunt Wei said.

"Mom, I still want to stay with you for a while." Minglan said reluctantly.

"You are at your grandmother's house and you can come see me every day. Go back quickly." Aunt Wei said.

"Oh." Seeing her mother say this, Minglan could only reluctantly leave with Xiao Tao.

After Minglan left, Aunt Wei told Xiaodie and the wet nurse to take good care of the children and went to Wei Ruixuan.

Madam Wang learned that Aunt Wei was here to see her. She was stunned for a while and then asked someone to invite her in.

In order to find someone to check and balance Lin Xiaoniang, she chose Aunt Wei among thousands of choices, and even paid her own money to the Wei family before letting Aunt Wei become Sheng Hong's concubine.

I originally thought that Aunt Wei was prettier than Lin Xiaoniang and came from a scholarly family, so she would be able to please Sheng Hong.

Who would have thought that Aunt Wei was not up to par at all, and later Mrs. Wang didn't bother to care about her anymore.

After a while, Aunt Wei was brought in.

"I've met the eldest lady." Aunt Wei saluted.

Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, madam." Aunt Wei thanked her and sat down.

"You're here, but what's missing there? Just tell the servants about turning back. As long as it doesn't exceed the quota, they will do it." Mrs. Wang said calmly.

"Thank you Madam, I don't need anything there. I came here this time to tell Madam something," Aunt Wei said.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wang asked doubtfully.

"I heard that the master wants some of the girls in the family to go to private schools. I think this is not good," Aunt Wei said.

"What's wrong? You can question the decisions made by officials?" Mrs. Wang said displeased.

"Madam, please calm down, I didn't mean that. I was just thinking about Princess Pingning coming to my house yesterday and telling me about my young master borrowing money to study. At that time, I didn't say that several girls in the family would study together and wait for Princess Pingning. If you know, what will she think?" Aunt Wei said.

"What would you think?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned. If she encountered this kind of situation, she would definitely think that someone deliberately allowed the girl to study with her son in order to charm her son.

Don't blame Madam Wang for thinking so, in fact that's what she did.

She specially selected some ordinary-looking maids in Sheng Changbai's room, because she was afraid that those maids would be dishonest, hook up with Sheng Changbai, and delay his studies.

It's not surprising to her that Princess Pingning would think so.

"It seems that the eldest lady has already thought about it. Young Master Qi came to the Sheng family to study. Originally, the Qi family owed our Sheng family a favor. However, if the princess misunderstood and the favor was gone, Wei would still hate the Sheng family." Auntie said.

What happened last time made Aunt Wei wake up, and it was useless to just tolerate it.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoniang assassinated her, probably because of her son.

As long as Lin Xiaoniang feels that her son's existence is a threat, she will never let her son go.

Whether it was for her son or herself, she couldn't do nothing like before.

However, given Aunt Wei's character, she couldn't do it to please Sheng Hong like Lin Xiaoniang did.

After thinking about it, I can only go through Mrs. Wang.

After thinking about it carefully, Aunt Wei felt that Lin Xiaoniang wanted Mo Lan to study for the purpose of Qi Heng.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to come to Mrs. Wang.
