"Madam, you are a good one!"
Without waiting for Sheng Hong's reply, the old lady gave her reasons.
"She was able to handle Miss Wei's funeral affairs in a graceful manner and calm the anger of the Wei family!"
"That's good!"
After Sheng Hong and his wife came back, Mrs. Wang immediately took care of Xiaoniang Wei's affairs, which made Aunt Wei, who came from the countryside overnight, less angry and less resentful.
After all, no one would be left unresponsive if a happy eldest sister of my family died inexplicably in the back house of the Sheng family.
Fortunately, the Wei family's aunt was a successful person. She asked for a lot of promises for her niece, so she calmed down.
Of course, only the old lady understood this. Sheng Hong and his wife were stupid enough not to understand what the other party meant, thinking that she was here to catch the autumn wind.
At this moment, hearing Mrs. Sheng's words, Sheng Hong just said noncommittally: "If mother says she is good, then she is good."
Not salty, not bland, not reluctant.
"I know!"
The old lady glanced at the face opposite her and said, "She always talks with a gun and a stick, which makes you very unhappy!"
"But that's because you are not upright. You spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. You lack the right principles!"
"What's more, she is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and she has been pampered and loved since she was a child!"
"It's not easy for her to tolerate you so far!"
"Even if you say some sarcastic words, that's already considered good!"
The old lady glanced at Sheng Hong again, changed the subject and said, "By the way, go and tell her that Liu Yatou doesn't need to be taken care of by her from now on, just leave it to me!"
After saying that, he added: "As for Wei Xiaoniang's brother, I guess you, as an old man, have your own sense of propriety, so I won't care about you, old lady!"
After all, in the Sheng family, this brother and the girl are different.
Girls have many taboos and things to do, but boys are different. It can even be said to be simple. When he is old enough, he will just kick him into the academy. There is no such thing as the girl's family.
Besides, Sheng Hong is still very concerned about his heirs who can inherit the incense. Otherwise, Lin Sushuang would not be so afraid of Miss Wei.
"Go!"
The old lady was a little tired after talking so much, so she rushed to the crowd and said, "It's time for me to rest too!"
However, if Mrs. Sheng hadn't said these last two sentences, then Sheng Hong would really want to hear such words, but now?
"Mother!"
Sheng Hong sat on the chair and twisted his body, feeling quite uncomfortable: "Ming'er, it's good to be at Hualan's place, but I'm sick again, and I've passed on your illness for no reason!"
"Mother, if you like raising children, why not just raise Mo Lan!"
"I heard that Mo Lan is also very filial."
"My son thinks she is quite suitable!"
Sheng Hong said with a shy face, cheering for Lin Sushuang's daughter.
"Ah!"
Old Mrs. Sheng sneered: "Your Lin Sushuang took care of Xiaoniang Wei to death, but I left the orphan girl alone and brought Lin Sushuang's girl here to raise her?"
"OK!"
"When did a county in the world burst its dykes, and instead, the government government knew how to promote the state?"
These words made Sheng Hong's face turn red with embarrassment and he did not dare to speak any more.
However, Sheng Hong thought for a while, then found a reason and said: "Son..."
"My son thinks Mo Lan is well-behaved, and his mother will not be too burdened in the future."
Looking at the old lady's face, Sheng Hong seemed to be thinking of fighting for one or two more.
unexpectedly!
When the old lady saw Sheng Hong's pig-headed appearance, she finally couldn't help it!
"Do you think the Wei family really wants a sixth girl from you when they come here?"
"I'm telling you in a roundabout way that if someone takes good care of Sixth Girl, then everyone will be in peace. Otherwise, we have to be careful!"
"This... I'm staying in Hua Lan's house tomorrow. Why don't I take good care of him?"
Sheng Hong was still a little unconvinced.
"You, you, you!"
Seeing that Sheng Hong still hadn't figured it out, the old lady had no choice but to clarify the truth behind it and analyze it carefully.
"These unscrupulous servants have lived at home for many years and know their origins. They could have been brought to Bianjing and dealt with. No one knows their origins."
"But you have to hit and sell me at this time and make a grudge."
"You have a concubine in front of you, and you are selling slaves in the back. Who can't guess that there is something fishy about it?"
"If there is someone who is jealous of your promotion and they are asked to testify against you, do you still want to be promoted and go to Bianjing?"
Sheng Hong was stunned!
Immediately it dawned on me!
The most important thing in the imperial court is to use the Confucian method of self-cultivation to govern the country and bring peace to the world. If there is an official with a bad family tradition and scandals all over the place, and those officials and envoys who are like wolves and tigers know about it, that would be a big deal!
These guys must be clamoring to report to the imperial court and reading books everywhere. They are just waiting for such a performance to hit the rankings!
No one who has ever seen the vigor of the performance by the imperial envoys will feel frightened!
Especially at this time, Sheng Hong was really a piece of shit. Basically, all the officials of the same class in Yangzhou City knew about the "glorious deeds" of the Sheng family's doting on concubines and destroying their wives!
On weekdays, if nothing major happens, no one in the Sheng family will say that it is nothing. But if an upright concubine like Wei Xiaoniang dies inexplicably, and her family wants to sue, The consequences must be unimaginable!
Even if it can be settled with some means, Sheng Hong's promotion this time will definitely come to an end.
"Confused! Confused!"
"My son is really reckless!"
When it comes to his career, Sheng Hong suddenly wakes up.
For Sheng Hong, family and officialdom are the most important, and the rest can be thrown away.
He quickly stood up, thanked Mrs. Sheng and said, "That's what mother said!"
"My son is too shallow. Please give me more guidance from my mother in the future!"
At this time, Sheng Hong finally understood that a family with an elder is like a treasure.
Mrs. Sheng saw all the behavior of the son who was named in her name, and shook her head secretly.
"Your love for your son and the love for your son are all in this book."
"It's better to take a good look at it yourself!"
Mrs. Sheng handed over an old book and handed it to Sheng Hong.
"this……"
Looking at the word "Mencius" shining brightly above it, Sheng Hong felt a bit bitter in his mouth.
After all, how could a person who is a Jinshi not know the book "Mencius"?
The old lady was probably mocking him for forgetting the principles of life!
Of course, this "Mencius" is not the other "Mencius". Although the name is the same, the content is different. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that there is already a predecessor of Meng Yue in this world?
