Sheng Han is still waiting for news in Tai'an Palace.
Although there was no reaction from the emperor, she was still confident.
After all, her application to become a female crown prince was not rejected.
"Draft? Maybe we won't get any news until the draft."
After a little self-examination, Sheng Han was ready to continue reading and practicing calligraphy.
At this time, the little maid who was waiting for her in the palace came in with a smile and seemed very happy.
"Is there something good about being so happy?" Sheng Han rarely saw this palace maid looking happy, so she couldn't help but be curious.
She remembered that the palace maid had a brother who had reached the reference age, and thinking that the results of the third county examination had come out at this time, she couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that your brother's results are excellent?"
"Thank you for your good wishes!" The little palace maid smiled and poured water for her. "But I have been on duty in the palace recently and have not gone out to visit relatives. I don't know what my brother's grades are. I hope he can succeed in one fell swoop."
"The reason why I'm so happy is because I just heard something strange and thought it was funny, so I couldn't control it for a while."
"Can you tell me?" Sheng Han thought, if she could smile more, what if she could make all her wishes come true?
"Of course, I'll tell you." The little palace maid smiled and squinted her eyes, bent over her ear, and whispered softly, "I just heard from the fellow who was waiting outside that Mr. Cen Ge is asking the three of you to go up. A son-in-law's clan members joined the party together, and he was so angry that he fainted."
"Elder Cen?" Sheng Han took a lot of effort to remember the full name of this elder.
The little palace maid also said: "The elder Ge made the sons-in-law mad. This thing is a bit ridiculous. It wasn't that funny at first, but later I heard that there was a reason for this.
Originally, his three in-laws came to him to ask for an explanation. He sent people to find his three daughters. He didn't want the three daughters to avoid seeing them. He became angry and said that he would cut off relations with them. He also repaired letters to the three in-laws.
When others wrote to him again, he would avoid seeing her again, and they would assume that he was trying to shirk the responsibility. When the three adults approached him, they also said that his avoidance method was exactly the same as that of his three girls, so it was obvious that he must have taught him.
Even the emperor agreed with their reasoning and asked Cen Ge Lao Mo to use his daughter as a shield to talk to his in-laws. "
Sheng Han listened silently to the little palace maid's cheerful words, and then she tried her best to show a smile.
But I didn't think it was that funny.
That's why the people in the palace are bored, so they laugh easily.
"But... Cen Minzhou?" Sheng Han asked the little palace maid to retreat with good words. He sat at the table and had no intention of reading. His mind was filled with memories of his previous life.
The reason why this elder can be remembered by her is not because of how outstanding he is, but because of his three famous daughters.
According to rumors from his previous life, Mr. Cen Ge was extremely rigid and stubborn. Once a girl from his family got married, he would no longer be a member of the family in his heart, and he would not consider them in everything he did or thought.
Therefore, his eldest daughter suffered from this in her previous life.
In this world, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Not to mention that the mother's family is unwilling to help. Even if they want to take care of it, many times they are unable to do so and are beyond the reach of the whip.
Coupled with the three obediences and four virtues, if the husband's family deliberately makes things difficult for her, no matter how many strategies the girl has, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
I can only endure it, not to mention being weak, even if I am strong, I am just trying to survive until my son grows up.
Originally, Cen Minzhou's eldest daughter also endured this, but because her children were treated poorly, she set fire to her husband's house and escaped with her dying children.
When there is more news, she is already a female pirate occupying an island.
And Sheng Han, who was living far away in the backyard of the mansion in Kyoto, could still know all this because of a major case thirteen years later. Cen Yiniang's ex-husband's family and other members of the clan, a total of thirty-five families, were emptied of their property by robbers. , all the real estate that could not be taken away was given to others.
As for these thirty-five families, in addition to the younger generation, fifty-six people from the old and middle generations were hung outside the city with big signs hanging around their necks, which stated their crimes.
Especially Cen Yiniang’s ex-husband and ex-parents-in-law had “shameless people” written on their faces.
The last name left by the robber was none other than Cen Yiniang, who ran away with her 13 years ago.
This matter caused quite a stir, and Cen Yiniang's husband's family even went to Kyoto to file a complaint, but neither Dali Temple nor Shuntian Mansion could do anything about it. On the one hand, there was no trace of Cen Yiniang, and on the other hand, Mr. Cen Ge said that he had divorced his eldest daughter long ago. Refuse to take any more care.
When the matter went to the emperor, it was nothing more than a number of wanted notices, and in the end, it was nothing.
It was not until the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the Queen Mother Sheng Ran took power that the legendary Cen Yiniang appeared in the public eye again.
"Only a dandy like Sheng Yuan would be friends with such a ruthless woman." Sheng Han had seen this girl in the palace of Sheng An, who was already the Queen Mother, in his previous life. It is said that Sheng Yuan introduced her to her, but she received many rewards. .
Sheng Han remembered that before she was reborn, this dark-skinned girl was granted the title of "Pingbohou", and she and her pair of savage sons and daughters became the new rich in Kyoto.
Thinking of Cen Yiniang's past, Sheng Han thought of the playboy Sheng Yuan in her previous life who acted carelessly. When thinking of Sheng Yuan, she couldn't help but think of Sheng An, who was partial to her armpits.
Thinking of these two sisters, she couldn't help but get angry again.
The three sisters of the Cen family are also biological sisters, but their relationship is not as good as that of Sheng An and Sheng Yuan.
The eldest sister destroyed her husband's family and became a pirate, while the second sister used her husband's family assets to become a wealthy businessman.
It is said that at that time, 60% of the northern trade line was in her hands. She had a very good relationship with the nobles of Nurhan, and she even got a baronetcy from the queen there.
The youngest daughter of the Cen family, although not as famous as her two sisters, has trained a generation of powerful officials.
If the three sisters were to be united, they would definitely be extremely famous. However, their relationship was extremely cold. Not only did they have no contact, but conflicts broke out from time to time.
The only son of the three girls in the Cen family either sent a letter to the court asking the court to issue a clear document to strictly control the noble children, or asked the court to raise taxes on caravans, especially heavy taxes on large caravans that had dealings with foreign vassals.
Who with a discerning eye can't see who he is going for?
At the flower viewing party she held, many female relatives joked about it.
Sheng Han recalled, a little puzzled: "I just wonder why Sheng Yuan has a good relationship with Cen Erniang, and Cen Sanniang's ruthless son is also polite to her?"
If she had Sheng Yuan's ability, she would be able to live a better life!
Sheng Han thought about the thick-skinned Sheng Yuan in his memory, feeling jealous and envious at the same time.
"After all, it's a pity that I don't have a good father or sister!"
If her father was as favored as her third uncle, and if her sister could be as capable as Sheng An, why should she suffer like this now?
