Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

He had long been dissatisfied with the fact that Sheng Hong spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife, causing unrest in the family. However, due to his identity as father and son, he could not say much.

Since Sheng Hong took the initiative to ask today, Sheng Changbai had no choice but to take this opportunity to give some subtle advice.

However, no matter how Sheng Changbai hinted that Sheng Hong could bring order to things, Sheng Hong either pretended to be stupid and refused to accept his trouble, or he just showed his dignity as a father and suppressed Sheng Changbai to prevent him from continuing.

Sheng Changbai had no choice but to change his strategy: "Father, Xingyun was also at the scene that day. He witnessed the whole thing and was very angry at what Lin Xiaoniang did. If Changfeng and I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have pulled him out on the spot. Let Miss Lin go to see the official!"

"Meet the officer?"

Sheng Hong's eyelids twitched and he said with an unnatural look on his face: "Isn't this nonsense? Miss Wei is safe and sound, and Xiao Qi is also alive and kicking. It's just a misunderstanding, why bother making it known to everyone!"

"What my father said is exactly what I told Xingyun." Sheng Changbai said softly: "However, Xingyun has already determined that Lin Xiaoniang has evil intentions towards her aunt. If we don't give Xingyun an explanation, he will not let it go. .”

"Fart! This is a family matter of my Sheng family. What should I give to an outsider?" Sheng Hong roared angrily, but in fact he felt very unsure.

Sheng Hong is very aware of Wei Chen's influence in Yangzhou City. After the Boat Poetry Meeting, the people of Yangzhou may still not know him, Sheng Tongpan, but no one does not know Wei Xingyun.

Based on the fame brought by those masterpieces alone, as long as Wei Chen files a complaint in court, even if there is no conclusive evidence, the Yangzhou government will not dare to neglect it.

As long as the eucalyptus enters the yamen process, no matter what the final result of the trial is, Sheng Hong's reputation as a restless house will be established, and this is what Sheng Hong least wants to see.

Chapter 106 Disposal

In the study, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai and his son sat and stood silently for a long time.

Sheng Hong finally couldn't help but asked: "Bai'er, based on your understanding of Wei Chen, is he pretending to intimidate, or does he really dare to act like this?"

Sheng Changbai thought seriously for a while and said in a deep voice: "Xingyun's parents died when he was young, and he cares about family ties the most. Since he recognizes Miss Wei as his aunt, he regards himself as a family member, so naturally he wants to stand up for Miss Wei and her son."

"My mother-in-law? She has already released the fifth server, why should he act as her mother-in-law?"

Sheng Hong had a headache.

Wang Ruofu also has a natal family, and Wang Ruofu's natal Wang family is more powerful and dignified than Wei Chen, but Sheng Hong can still spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. Why?

Because the Wang family has a great business, but also has many worries. Even if Wang Ruofu is bullied, the Wang family will only criticize him a few times, and it is impossible to really break up with the Sheng family, otherwise the Wang family will not be in a good place.

On the other hand, Wei Chen was born in a peasant family. He was young and had no family ties. However, he was still well-known among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. If he really wanted to fight against the Sheng family, there was really nothing Sheng Hong could do against him.

As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

That's the truth.

Of course, Wei Chen is not without scruples. For example, the Wu Quan Winery he opened in partnership with Sheng Wei, or his friendship with Sheng Changbai, these things cannot be given up.

It depends on who can handle this kind of thing better.

Of course Sheng Hong understands this.

If the other party is the head of a family like Sheng Hong, Sheng Hong can also explain the pros and cons to the other party, and everyone can weigh it and compare their patience.

But Wei Chen is only 12 years old this year, which is when youth is full of energy and can't bear to be excited.Does Sheng Hong dare to pin the honor and disgrace of the Sheng family on the rationality of a 12-year-old boy?

Seeing the changing expression on Sheng Hong's face, Sheng Changbai knew that he was shaken, so he struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Father, Xingyun is not an unreasonable person. As long as we can treat Wei Xiaoniang well, Xingyun is still willing to join our Sheng family." Make good friends."

Lin Xiaoniang and Wei Xiaoniang are not on good terms, so treating Wei Xiaoniang well, the implication is that she naturally wants to suppress Lin Xiaoniang.

After thinking for a moment, Sheng Hong seemed to have made up his mind and looked up at Sheng Changbai: "Bai'er, go and ask Wei Chen to come over. My father wants to talk to him."

Sheng Hong, a dignified sixth-rank general judge and soon a fifth-rank imperial official, had to bow his head to a young student. Of course, Sheng Hong felt extremely aggrieved.

But after all, he was an old man who had been in the officialdom for more than [-] years, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.

In the final analysis, he had nothing to lose except losing some face, and he did this to save even more face.

When Wei Chen saw Sheng Hong in the study, Sheng Hong already had a breathtaking smile on his face.

"My dear nephew, I have gotten used to food and accommodation these days. Is there anything that the people below have not taken good care of?"

Wei Chen bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. My uncle entertained my nephew with great care. My nephew is really scared."

apprehensive?

I think you are afraid that the world will not be in chaos!

Sheng Hong secretly cursed, but still said with a smile on his face: "Some time ago, your aunt was busy arranging Hua Lan's wedding, so she asked Lin Xiaoniang to help take care of the housekeeper. She is young and tender, and she can't control the people below, and commits many crimes. Very few mistakes, very bad

In shape.I asked you to come here just to let you know that your aunt will still be in charge of the house from now on. If there is anything missing in the west wing, just go to Wei Ruixuan to find your aunt, okay? "

Wei Chen still said respectfully: "This is my uncle's family matter. My nephew has no say in it. As long as my uncle thinks it's good, then it's good."

Sheng Hong was very satisfied with Wei Chen's sensibleness. No matter how Wei Chen complained or even threatened Sheng Changbai in private, at least there was nothing out of line in front of him at this time.

Of course, Sheng Hong understood that Wei Chen was acting like this on purpose, but he still felt a lot more comfortable.

"The birth of Wei Xiaoniang this time was all due to Mother Zhao's hard work. The entire Sheng family is grateful. When you and Changbai return to Jiangning to take the exam, remember to thank your Uncle Sheng for me. He finally found Mother Zhao. This capable servant was specially sent to Qinyun Court to take care of my Xiaoqi, I will definitely not let him down."

Wei Chen felt funny in his heart. If you two brothers have anything to say, just talk to each other directly. Why do you want me, an outsider, to spread the word?

However, he also understood that this was Sheng Hong's promise to him that he would not use Qinyun Academy's personnel in the future, so he would not be ignorant of good and evil, so he agreed immediately.

Lifting Lin Sushuang's power as housekeeper and retaining the manpower of Qinyun Academy for a long time. These two promises are enough to show Sheng Hong's attitude towards this incident: Lin Sushuang was wrong to force the door open, and everyone in Qinyun Academy protects the master. meritorious service.

Of course, this was tacitly understood by both parties. Sheng Hong made compensation in exchange for Wei Chen's understanding, and both parties were happy.

In fact, Wei Chen knew very well that since Wei Shuyi gave birth to Sheng Hong's third son, Lin Sushuang could no longer threaten the lives of their mother and son.

Therefore, Wei Chen never thought that Sheng Hong would deal with Lin Sushuang severely. He just wanted Wei Shuyi, mother and son to have a more stable and comfortable living environment in the Sheng family.

If the pressure continues and Sheng Hong is really offended, I am afraid that the life of Wei Shuyi and her son in the Sheng family will become even more difficult.

After all, no matter Wei Shuyi, Minglan, or the newborn Xiaoqi of the Sheng family, they are all members of the Sheng family, and what Wei Chen can do for them is very limited.

After achieving his goal, Wei Chen no longer had the mood to continue fighting with Sheng Hongxu, and stood up to leave. Sheng Hong was depressed, wishing that Wei Chen would get out of here, so naturally he would not keep him.

After Wei Chen left, Sheng Hong cheered up and went to Lin Sushuang's room. Bi Tou asked about Lin Sushuang's forced entry into the hospital a few days ago.

Lin Sushuang still said the same thing. She only said that she thought it was a cunning servant who wanted to kill the master's heir, so she made this move in a hurry, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Sheng Hong said coldly: "What's the truth? There are eyes all over the house. You didn't say it with your mouth. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Being stared at by Sheng Hong's sharp eyes, Lin Sushuang felt inexplicably panicked. She didn't expect that Sheng Hong, who had always been controlled by her, would suddenly start to distinguish right from wrong today.

Lin Sushuang didn't show anything on her face, she just looked at Sheng Hong with tears in her eyes. I really felt pity for him when I saw him.

In the past, when Sheng Hong saw Lin Sushuang's appearance, he could not help but be gentle with her. But today he was feeling depressed and could only blame Lin Sushuang instead of Wei Chen.

"The incident on the day Wei Xiaoniang gave birth has been revealed. I will order no one in the house to mention it. But from today on, you need to hand over the key. The affairs of the back house are still in the care of the eldest lady, so you don't have to Don’t worry anymore.”

Lin Sushuang's beautiful face turned pale, and she felt cold in her heart, but she heard Sheng Hong say again: "We are all clansmen all the same. Wei Xiaoniang's clansmen are capable of small, middle and small three yuan, and their poems are famous all over Yangzhou City. Look at those clans of yours My dear, that day when we were drinking wine and performing in Yangzhou, the pomp was even greater than that of me, Tongsuan. From now on, I will send all these unscrupulous people back, so as not to ruin the reputation of my Sheng family!"

When Lin Sushuang heard Sheng Hong going over old scores, she realized that Sheng Hong was really angry. She had a lot to say, but at this time she was speechless. She just nodded her head with tears in her eyes, looking frightened. look.

Chapter 107

Sheng Hong came and went in a hurry. After announcing the punishment to Lin Sushuang, he took away the key to the house and left without looking back.

It's not that he doesn't want to teach Lin Sushuang a few more words, but he's afraid that if he stays any longer, the bones of justice and clarity he finally picked up will be softened by Lin Sushuang's tenderness and affection again.

Lin Sushuang received Sheng Hong's reprimand and her power as a housekeeper was taken away. Before she could let Sheng Hong stay for the night, she was feeling very upset when she suddenly saw her unsatisfactory son running in again. As soon as he entered the door, he He said that he would go to Jiangning Mansion with Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai to participate in the county examination in February.

Lin Sushuang asked him how many days he had not studied to take the county examination. Sheng Changfeng hesitated and refused to tell. Lin Sushuang reached out to pull him, but he actually dodged it.

Only then did Lin Sushuang understand that this little brat was not taking any exams. He was clearly interested in being outsiders and no longer wanted to be with his own mother!

"You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, get out of here!"

Lin Sushuang was so angry that she broke a tea bowl on the spot. Sheng Changfeng was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth, turned around and ran out of the house.

Seeing that Sheng Changfeng was really gone, Lin Sushuang was dumbfounded and quickly asked Zhou Xueniang to lead someone to find him.

In the end, Sheng Changfeng ran to Sheng Changbai's yard. Before Zhou Xueniang could enter, Sheng Changbai stopped her and said that Sheng Changfeng had to concentrate on preparing for the county examination and was staying with him for the past few days. He hoped that people from Lin Qige would not disturb him and made it clear. , this is what Sheng Hong means.

After hearing Zhou Xueniang's report, Lin Sushuang was furious. First she smashed the bottles and cans in the house like a madman, and then she fell to the ground, holding her knees and crying bitterly.

Sheng Molan, who was in the next room, heard the commotion and rushed over. When she saw Lin Sushuang burying her head in tears, she was so shocked that she even dropped the book in her hand to the ground.

"My dear, my dear, what's wrong with you? Mo'er is here, stop crying, stop crying."

Lin Sushuang raised her head and saw the concerned look on her daughter's face, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Only then did she understand what it meant to be a daughter, a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, much better than her brother who didn't recognize his mother after reading some books about saints and sages.

"It's all your fault for your unsatisfactory brother!" Lin Sushuang cursed, and then looked at Sheng Molan and laughed: "Forget it, he left as soon as he left. As long as Mo'er is by my side, my mother will not be sad. ”

"Ah, where did my brother go?" Sheng Molan picked up the book that fell aside and said worriedly: "I haven't returned the poetry collection he gave me yet. There are several poems I like in it that I haven't memorized yet. .”

"It's okay, don't worry about him. Since Mo'er likes it, just keep it and watch it slowly!"

Lin Sushuang smiled and wiped her tears. She took the poem book her daughter was reading and glanced at it twice. She couldn't help but admired: "Don't vomit when you cherish your beautiful heart, and teach peaches and plums to make spring breeze. What a good poem. Who is this master?" Made?"

When I closed the book and took a look, the four characters "Xingyun Poetry Collection" were clearly written on the cover.

"Xingyun, Wei Xingyun?"

Lin Sushuang's eyes widened suddenly, she stared at Sheng Molan and asked, "When did you start reading his poems?"

Sheng Molan had never seen Lin Sushuang show such a terrifying expression, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't teach me that my daughter's family wants to

Do you want to read some poems and lines to cultivate your temperament?Last time my brother brought this collection of poems, I saw that it was well written, so I read it..."

Lin Sushuang panted heavily, gritted her teeth, and her chest heaved violently. It seemed that she was stimulated by her daughter's words, and the resentment she had held in her body suddenly burst out.

"Shut up, you are not allowed to read this person's poetry and articles in the future, do you hear me?"

Lin Sushuang tore the poetry book into pieces and turned to stare at the trembling Sheng Molan beside her with scarlet eyes.

"Wow--"

After all, Sheng Molan was still a child. When she was frightened by Lin Sushuang's fierce eyes, she was immediately frightened. Finally, she could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

……

Three days later, everything was packed up. After Wei Chen waved goodbye to Gu Tingye on the dock, he boarded the passenger ship back to Youyang with brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng.

On the way, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai noticed that Sheng Changfeng was a little distracted. They could still hear him secretly crying under the quilt in the middle of the night.

Regarding the emotional problems of his younger brother, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai discussed it and agreed that the best solution was to double Sheng Changfeng's schoolwork.

As long as Sheng Changfeng is too busy to sleep, he will naturally have no time to think about things.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good.

When the three of them arrived in Youyang, the results for the February County Examination in Youyang had been posted. Clerks from the county government office went to various social studies and academies to issue notices to students who were interested in the County Examination.
