The old lady was old and lacked energy. After all the juniors had paid their respects, and seeing that the old lady was a little tired, they voluntarily resigned. Only Hua Lan, who was about to get married, was left behind by the old lady to give some instructions.
After leaving Shou'an Hall, Sheng Hong had a bright smile on his face and was in a great mood.
The old lady never makes promises easily. Since she has agreed to invite Zhuang Jun to Sheng's house, she should be close to her.
Sheng Hong was so happy that he could smile from ear to ear when he thought that Mr. Qingteng, who was famous all over the world, was going to come to his Shengjia private school as a tutor.
Changbai Changfeng and the others have been taught by Mr. Qingteng, and their studies are bound to make rapid progress. If these two sons can pass the Jinshi examination in the future, how glorious and respectable the Sheng family will be, I am afraid Sheng Hong will laugh in his dreams!
Thinking of what happened today, Sheng Hong couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, there is an old lady in the family. If there is a treasure, the old lady is indeed the only daughter of Yongyi Hou. Whether it is her vision, her connections, or her reputation, she is a fortune for the Sheng family. Great wealth.
Of course, only at this time would Sheng Hong think of the old lady's kindness.
Sheng Hong was thinking about Mr. Qingteng when he suddenly saw his cousin Sheng Wei walking quickly in front of him and patted his shoulder lightly.
Sheng Wei smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I heard in Youyang that Miss Wei in your family is pregnant again. Congratulations to my dear brother for having another son!"
"It's only been a few months, and I still don't know if it's a brother or a sister."
Hearing Sheng Wei mention the child in Wei Xiaoniang's belly, Sheng Hong couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Wei said: "Of course it's best if it's a boy, but it doesn't matter if it's a girl. As long as the heirs continue, the family will be prosperous."
"Brother, what you said makes sense. After all, it is my own child. Whether it is a brother or a sister, I will not treat him (her) lightly." Sheng Hong nodded, quite agreeing with Sheng Wei's words.
"Although a woman's pregnancy is a happy event in the family, it is also the most dangerous in itself and must not be taken lightly."
Sheng Wei chatted for a long time and finally got to the point: "Before I came, I specially selected a few maids at home who were quick and knowledgeable about women's pregnancy, and sent them to Miss Wei's room to serve her personally. what do you think?"
"Send someone to Miss Wei's room?"
Sheng Hong frowned slightly. Although he and Sheng Wei were very close relatives, the other party's rash intervention in his household affairs still made him feel uncomfortable.
"well……"
Seeing the hesitation on Sheng Hong's face, Sheng Wei suddenly sighed and said quietly: "You also know, thanks to Wei Chen's help in going back to the winery last time, I thought about it and couldn't think of any way to repay him. I happened to listen He said that Miss Wei in your courtyard is from the Wei Chen tribe, so we decided to target her."
Sheng Hong suddenly realized that Sheng Wei did this to please Wei Chen, so it made sense.
However, there is one thing Sheng Wei doesn't understand: "Although Wei Chen and Wei Xiaoniang are from the same clan, they have already been in the fifth server a few generations ago. Can Wei Chen appreciate your behavior?"
"You don't know something about this." Sheng Wei waved his hand and said softly: "Wei Chen's parents died when he was young, and he was fostered in the home of Wei Xiaoniang's sister. After so many years, we have become as close as a family. The so-called love house is as good as the bird, Wei Chen Chen and Wei Xiaoniang naturally have a friendship. As far as I know, Wei Chen came to Yangzhou, although he was invited by Chang Bai, but mostly to come to you to visit Wei Xiaoniang. "
"That's it. I didn't expect that Wei Chen, at such a young age, is actually a person who values love and justice." After hearing Sheng Wei's explanation, Sheng Hong narrowed his eyes and his mind was racing with thoughts.
When something happened at the wine shop, Sheng Hong backed down and felt guilty about Sheng Wei. Now Sheng Wei rarely asks him to beg him. There are just a few servants around him, and the one who benefits is also his son Sheng Hong. He is both affectionate and reasonable. I also want to give my cousin some face.
Moreover, Wei Chen is not only supported by Shen Du, but also a close disciple of Mr. Qingteng Zhuang Jun. No matter from which point of view, it is beneficial for the Sheng family to have a good relationship with him. Since they learned about Wei Chen from his cousin, Sheng Hong naturally has to make good use of the relationship between Chen and Wei Xiaoniang.
Thinking of this, Sheng Hong decided to accept those servants and send them to Miss Wei's room as Sheng Wei wanted.
However, Sheng Hong still needs to think carefully about the specific arrangement. On the one hand, to satisfy his cousin Sheng Wei, it is also best to let Wei Chen feel the kindness of his Sheng Hong.
…
In a guest room at the back of the west wing, Wei Chen sat in front of the desk, holding a book and reading attentively.
Behind Wei Chen, there was a tall and thin boy standing, who looked to be about the same age as Wei Chen. He was the book boy given to Wei Chen by Sheng Wei.
When Wei Chen asked Sheng Wei to help serve Wei Xiaoniang's maid, Sheng Wei saw that Wei Chen had no one to serve him, so he simply gave him a bookboy.
This book boy is from Youyang. Two years ago, due to a famine, his family had no food, so he was sold to the Sheng family.
He had gone to elementary school when he was a child and knew some etiquette in dealing with people. He had also learned three hundred thousand lessons. He could speak and write, so he was favored by Sheng Wei and sent to Wei Chen as a book boy.
Having a book boy by his side can indeed save a lot of trouble, so Wei Chen did not refuse and named the book boy Yuan An and took him with him wherever he went.
At this moment, Yuan An stood up straight behind Wei Chen with his hands tied, his big black eyes unblinking, looking at his young master curiously.
Yuan An has been with Wei Chen for some time. In his impression, besides eating and sleeping, his young master spends most of his time holding books.
No matter how the environment changes, whether at home, on a bumpy carriage, or on a rocking passenger ship, Wei Chen can quickly calm down and enter a reading state where he forgets both things and himself.
It was the same when he came to the Sheng family. Wei Chen sat in this room for more than half an hour, just holding a book and reading without any signs of restlessness.
Yuan An secretly admired him in his heart. His young master was worthy of being able to study in elementary and middle schools. With his diligence and concentration, he could not even catch up with him.
Suddenly, Yuan An heard footsteps coming from outside the house, and then the door creaked open, and a young man in brocade clothes stepped into the house.
Yuan An quickly bowed and shouted: "Master Changbai."
Sheng Changbai nodded towards Yuan An, and when he saw Wei Chen who was studying at his desk, he walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you are working too hard. You have come to my house as a guest, and you still don't forget your studies at all times. This really puts Brother Yu to shame. !”
"The teacher has repeatedly told me to work hard and teach me earnestly, especially in my ears. How dare I slack off for a moment!"
Wei Chen put down the book in his hand, turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother, you are here to invite Wan'an back. How is the old lady feeling?"
"Okay, everything is fine, grandma."
Sheng Changbai looked excited and said: "Brother, I went to my grandmother in Shou'an Hall and heard good news. In the next year, my grandmother will invite Mr. Qingteng to come to Beijing and open a private school in the Sheng family. I will also join the Qingteng family soon." Here you go, sir."
Wei Chen was slightly startled when he heard this. Of course he knew that Zhuang Jun would come to the Sheng family as a tutor, but he was still a little confused: "Then why did I ask my brother to go with me to become a tutor, but my brother had to shirk it in every possible way?"
"Alas, it's a long story. It's all me being smart and misunderstanding the meaning of my elders."
Sheng Changbai scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but still told Wei Chen the cause and effect of the incident.
"I didn't expect that there is such a deep connection between my teacher and your old lady." Wei Chen suddenly realized after hearing this, and then looked at Sheng Changbai and teased: "Then we will be brothers in the same school from now on? I started school earlier than you, called Senior Brother Sheng, come and listen!"
"Senior brother."
Sheng Changbai didn't even stutter.
Wei Chen: "..."
Why do you feel so guilty for no reason?
Bo Lan is too honest. Didn't you hear that I was joking?
Sheng Changbai smiled horribly and said in a sincere tone: "You are Mr. Zhuang's only close disciple. You are different from ordinary students because you are the true disciple of Mr. Zhuang. If I really become Mr. Zhuang's disciple, I should call you senior brother."
