Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 237 The New Year is approaching
"But you know Heng'er's temper. If the stalemate continues like this, what will happen if your body collapses?" Qi Guogong said.

Princess Pingning said displeased: "Then we can't indulge him like this. If we let him go, he will go on a hunger strike if he doesn't get what he wants in the future. What should we do?"

"No, young Mu Ai, it's hard to forget your first crush in a short time, so you don't have to worry that Heng'er will fall in love with another girl from the Sheng family." Qi Guogong said.

Princess Pingning looked at her husband meaningfully and said, "The official said this, it seems that he understands it deeply."

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Qi Guogong's eyes: "What do you want me to do when it comes to children?"

"What I say is clearer than my own heart. In the past few days, you have been praising Uncle Xi Ping's daughter in front of me openly and secretly. Don't know that I don't know what you are paying attention to." Princess Pingning said coldly.

The Duke of Qi is the second son. His title was not inherited from his father, but from his elder brother.

The Duke of Qi's brother had no heirs and died of illness early, so the title fell to him.

Before that, Qi Guogong was about to get engaged to the legitimate daughter of Uncle Chang Ping, who had been friends with the Qi family for generations.

However, before the marriage was settled, his eldest brother died and he inherited the title.

After all, the Qi family was a Duke's residence, and since there were no parents-in-law to take care of, and no sisters-in-law to make things difficult for her, they promised Princess Pingning to Duke Qi, who had just inherited the title.

As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief.

Co-author: You didn't marry Uncle Changping's legitimate daughter, so you wanted your son to marry her daughter and become in-laws with her?

The daughter of Uncle Changping also married the eldest son of Uncle Xiping.

It happened that the Queen was preparing to help Princess Pingning arrange her marriage at that time.

Princess Pingning knew it was not good as soon as she spoke her words, but her proud temper prevented her from saying a word of apology. She just changed the topic and said: "Our Heng'er, not only marrying a noble daughter of the royal family, at least I also want to marry a well-matched man. Not to mention the earl family, even the marquis family is far behind."

The reason why there is such a statement is that in addition to men preferring stimulation, it is also different from the attitude of wives and concubines towards men.

However, these were just Princess Pingning's speculations, and she did not speak out.

But she didn't care at that time, after all, Qi Guogong had already married her.

Princess Pingning later found out that the daughter of Uncle Chang Ping and the Duke of Qi were childhood sweethearts.

Princess Pingning felt very unhappy when she heard this.

"Hmph! You can do whatever you want." Qi Guogong snorted coldly and walked away.

The daughter of Uncle Chang Ping is already the eldest daughter of the Bolin family in Xiping.

Now nearly twenty years have passed, old Uncle Xiping has passed away, and his eldest son has inherited the title.

Although Princess Pingning didn't agree, she didn't refuse either. She wanted to think about it carefully.

"you you…"

Now that she was already in a bad mood, Qi Guogong still told her these things, which made her unable to suppress it anymore and burst out.

Because the Lord of Jiacheng County was interested in Qi Heng, Princess Pingning used the Rong family as a shield to reject Princess Yong. However, Duke Qi always felt that it was not safe, so he discussed with Princess Pingning and simply arranged a marriage for Qi Heng.

As long as the marriage is settled, there is no need to worry about King Yong.

Duke Qi was so angry that his face was livid and his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Princess Pingning and could not speak.

However, during that time, the Duke of Qi praised Uncle Xi Ping's legitimate daughter in front of her, both openly and secretly.

Just like Sheng Hong likes Lin Xiaoniang and hates Mrs. Wang. In addition to Lin Xiaoniang's beauty, what's more important is that Lin Xiaoniang knows how to please Sheng Hong.

Mrs. Wang put it nicely because she has a straightforward temper and no scheming.

To put it bluntly, it is short-sighted.

Whichever man it was, the choice would be similar to Sheng Hong's.

Duke Qi and Princess Ning were about the same. Seriously, Duke Qi was even worse off than Sheng Hong.

Princess Pingning has a strong personality. Although Duke Qi is a man, his position was obtained for him by Princess Pingning, so he cannot be stubborn in front of Princess Pingning.

How many concubines did Sheng Hong have? Duke Qi didn't even have any concubines.

However, no matter how honest a person is, he still has a temper. When Princess Pingning said this, Duke Qi lost his face.

"Madam, you shouldn't push the master like this." Mother Su reminded me. "Did I say something wrong? He actually wants Heng'er to marry the daughter of an earl. What's wrong with him?"

Duke Qi walked away, making Princess Pingning even more angry.

In her opinion, she had just given in.

The Duke of Qi walked away because he had exposed his inner thoughts.

Mother Su has served Princess Pingning for many years and has a very good understanding of her character.

Knowing that Princess Pingning was angry, she couldn't persuade her at all, so she changed the subject and said: "Madam, the Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and the Sheng Family School will not be available for a few more days. I think it seems to me that Heng was still allowed to go to the school before the New Year. Brother, go and study. Classes will be suspended for a period of time during the Chinese New Year. At that time, the eldest lady will help Brother Heng hire a famous teacher and let Brother Heng become his apprentice directly.

Although Brother Heng is stubborn, he understands the general situation. The eldest lady will hide it from him first and then tell Brother Heng when others arrive. Even if Brother Heng doesn't want to do it anymore, for the sake of the face of the princess and the Qi family, he will honestly become his disciple. "

Princess Pingning's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, this is a good idea. Go there yourself and tell Heng'er to continue studying at the Sheng family tomorrow."

"Yes." Mother Su responded.

……

Moriya
Mrs. Sheng rarely left Sheng Hong to eat with her.

During the meal, Mrs. Sheng chatted with Sheng Hong and told him that she had often dreamed of Sheng Jing in the past two days and wanted to stay at Sanqing Temple outside the city for a while and ask someone to perform rituals for Sheng Jing.

Sheng Jing is Mrs. Sheng’s son who died young.

According to the rules, those who died young will not enter the ancestral hall, be included in the family tree, or enter the ancestral graves.

Therefore, the spiritual tablet of Shengjing can only be enshrined in Sanqing Temple outside the city.

Mrs. Sheng would go to Sanqing Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of every month and stay there for a few days.

Every year on his death anniversary, he would even stay there for half a month.

What happened this time was a bit sudden for Sheng Hong, but the Chinese New Year was coming soon. If some of the people with whom she was close came to pay New Year greetings, but Mrs. Sheng was not at home, it was inevitable that some people would think too much.

Therefore, Sheng Hong didn't want Mrs. Sheng to go.

However, Mrs. Sheng insisted, and Sheng Hong had no choice but to agree.

As for Mrs. Sheng who wanted Minglan to accompany her, and also said that she would take Sheng Changjin with her and ask the Taoist priests from the Taoist temple to help her take a look, Sheng Hong would not object.

In this way, Mrs. Sheng took Minglan and her brother to Sanqing Temple outside the city in a carriage early the next morning.

When Li An came to the Sheng family, he also learned the news from the discussions among the Sheng family's servants.

He was not surprised by this. With Mrs. Sheng's resolute and resolute temper, it was normal for her to be so efficient.

When class was about to start, Qi Heng came to the school.

Qi Heng had a cold face. When he looked at Sheng Changbai, his expression softened a lot and he apologized to Sheng Changbai.

Yesterday, he vowed to invite an imperial doctor, but he didn't come.

He didn't even know how to answer if Sheng Changbai asked.

Fortunately, Sheng Changbai didn't ask and comforted Qi Heng not to care.

The next few days were uneventful. Mrs. Sheng and her people stayed at Sanqing Temple, and she would send someone back every day to report.

Ming Lan specially arranged for Xiao Tao to follow the messenger back in the name of getting something, and brought a letter to Li An.

Tell him that the situation has indeed improved a lot after Sheng Changjin arrived at Sanqing Temple.

Although he has not recovered yet, he can speak and eat normally.

Li An finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

After two more days of classes, Zhuang Xueguo assigned some homework and announced that school would be suspended. Classes would not resume until after the Lantern Festival next year.

There are still five days left before the Chinese New Year, which means they have twenty days of vacation.
