A few days passed in an uneventful manner. After Sheng Hong had taken care of the matters at hand and settled down with his family, he finally took some time off and held the last step of Sheng Hualan's wedding - a personal welcome.
The Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin's Mansion finally got married, completing a major event in their children's lives.
Similarly, the Sheng family also chose a good son-in-law for their eldest daughter, fulfilling their parents' wishes.
So on this day, Mrs. Sheng was finally ready to make it clear to Sheng Hong and his wife about Sheng Minglan's sister and brother.
Shou'an Hall.
Because I couldn't bear to leave my former residence, each house and courtyard was still called by its original name.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Sheng Hong took Mrs. Wang into the Shou'an Hall together, preparing to listen to Mrs. Sheng's teachings.
"sit down!"
The old lady waved her hand and sent away all the servants in the house, leaving only Fang's mother in the house.
After Fang's mother served the master and mistress each a cup of hot tea, she returned to the old lady's side and served her carefully.
"I don't want to say much else. What are your plans for these two children, Ming Yatou and Tuan Ge'er?"
Mrs. Sheng looked at the couple opposite her with a calm expression, as if she meant something.
Mrs. Wang looked at Sheng Hong first, but she didn't rush to express her position. Anyway, Sheng Minglan had already decided to raise her in the Shou'an Hall. As for Brother Tuan, that was easy. If she wanted to raise him, she would. That's it, as long as it has nothing to do with Lin Qige, the rest will be decided by Sheng Hong himself.
By the way, I forgot to mention that the reason why Mrs. Wang is willing to raise Brother Tuan is not only because she wants to prove her identity as a legitimate mother, but the most important thing is because Sheng Hong said many private words to her. Got off the eldest lady.
Except for the sweet words from Sheng Hong in the first few years of her marriage, Madam Wang had not heard such comforting words for a long time in these years, so she was so obedient to Sheng Hong.
"Mother."
Sheng Hong looked respectfully at Mrs. Sheng who was standing above him, and said with some confusion: "Aren't these two children already determined?"
"Tomorrow I will raise you under my mother's knees, while Brother Tuan will stay in my wife's courtyard. Do you have any other instructions?"
As he said that, Sheng Hong glanced at Mrs. Wang beside him and asked her to express her position.
"Yes, mother!"
Taking the hint, Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "Girl Ming is blessed to be able to be educated by you. From now on, even if we say we are in love, we will be looked down upon by others."
"I will definitely find a good husband in the future and live a happy life together."
Smiling and flattering Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Wang continued: "As for Brother Tuan, he should be taken care of by his daughter-in-law. Why don't you worry, mother?"
"As a legitimate mother, a daughter-in-law should take care of herself and raise her well."
In fact, Mrs. Wang really doesn’t have any bad intentions when she says this.
First of all, Sheng Minglan is just a concubine, and it doesn't matter even if she is raised under the old lady's body, as long as Sheng Molan is not raised in Linqige and is raised in Shou'antang.
In fact, it is not a good job to be kept by the old lady's side. First of all, the old lady is lonely and has many rules. If Mrs. Wang's Rulan is sent to Shou'antang, she will definitely suffer a lot.
Sheng Rulan has been raised by Madam Wang since she was a child and has been doted on by her mother. Therefore, her temperament is inevitably a bit spoiled and has some bad habits. Therefore, if she is really sent to the old lady, Madam Wang will She would definitely be reluctant to part with it, not to mention that she herself would not want to.
Secondly, Sheng Rulan's temperament cannot be raised in Shou'an Hall. After all, the old lady is already old. If she really raises Sheng Rulan, how can she be angered by Sheng Rulan's temperament?
Therefore, in Mrs. Wang's mind, as long as Lin Sushuang does not benefit, even if she gets an advantage from Sheng Minglan, it is not bad.
In fact, being raised in the Shou'an Hall is not without some benefits. Not only can you gain a reputation of being filial to your elders, but you can also get a better education. After all, Mrs. Sheng is the legitimate daughter of the Yongyi Hou Mansion and a high-ranking family member. There is no need to say much about his background and upbringing.
If you tell me, it will make people look up to you!
As for adopting Brother Tuan in her own courtyard, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to do it.
Originally, she was Tuan Ge's legitimate aunt. If she lived in a decent family, a concubine's son or daughter should be raised in the aunt's courtyard. That is why Sheng Hong was special. He especially cared for his concubine's children because of his own childhood experiences.
Secondly, it would be better to raise Tuan Geer in her courtyard. Once Mrs. Wang can control this child, she even plans to train Tuan Geer to be the assistant of her son Sheng Changbai so that he can help.
After all, a child's character is acquired. It can't be determined at birth, right?
As everyone knows, someone is really like this.
Secondly, it was because in this way, the tentacles on Lin Qige's side could be cut off and prevent the other party from doing anything. Although he didn't know what the other party's plan was, Wang Ruofu knew what Lin Sushuang must have wanted to do.
Therefore, no matter what, as long as you can interrupt the other person's thoughts, it is absolutely the right behavior.
Mrs. Wang is convinced of this.
"Um."
After hearing what the couple said, Mrs. Sheng was noncommittal.
"Then if you say that, do you really want to keep Brother Tuan in your own house?"
The old lady had some doubts about this, so she simply looked at Mrs. Wang on the side and asked directly: "Daughter-in-law, are you really willing to educate Brother Tuan?"
"Don't spoil your child for no reason, and the Sheng family will be implicated in the future."
The old lady is not worried about Sheng Hong, but she is worried about Mrs. Wang: "If I don't have the energy, I can still lend a hand to support him for three to five years, until he is old enough to go to school. Done."
"I just need to find a scholar for him and send him to study in the front yard."
The old lady used retreat as an opportunity to advance. She deliberately told this impossible thing and secretly made plans for Brother Tuan's future upbringing.
"Mother."
Mrs. Wang secretly cursed in her heart, but she said: "How can I trouble you with this matter? No matter how busy my wife is, she still has time to take care of my son."
"Mom, if you can take care of girl Ming, you have already done your daughter-in-law a great favor!"
After a pause, Mrs. Wang followed her mother-in-law's wishes and continued: "Actually, my daughter-in-law thinks so too, and plans to enter school with these brothers when Brother Tuan is four years old. Learn the way of the saints.”
"In this way, the thoughts of the Wei family girls are fulfilled."
