Aunt Kong could see clearly that among the girls in the Sheng family, Mo Lan was too selfish. She had always been proud of her own glory, completely ignoring the needs of her sisters and only focusing on satisfying her own vanity.
Selfish and ignorant of the general situation!
Rulan, on the other hand, is domineering, relying on her status as a legitimate daughter, and loves to boss around. Her temperament sounds naive at best, but in reality she is ignorant and has no authority.
They quarreled just for the sake of quarreling, and they always talked indiscriminately, without any dignity of officials' children.
As for Minglan, although she didn't make any big mistakes, she did make some small mistakes. She was wise to protect herself due to her status as a concubine, and Grandma Kong also understood.
However, after all, Aunt Kong was invited by the Sheng family, so she had to take care of the entire Sheng family. What's more, Minglan was also a member of the Sheng family after all. If the sisters had a bad reputation, how could she have any reputation? benefit?
Therefore, Aunt Kong needs to use Minglan as a lesson to teach everyone a truth, to understand that all sisters are one body, one is prosperous and all suffers.
Finally, Grandma Kong pointed out Sheng Hong's fault clearly, saying that he was not upright and caused chaos in the Sheng family.
As a master, you must have a bowl of water that is balanced. You cannot make the weak and unfavorable lose favor even more, and make the favored more favored. Such an imbalance between the two extremes is not the long-term path of the golden mean.
At the same time, Mother Kong also said that Sheng Hong's failure was due to the public and fair; Mrs. Wang's failure was due to the law, the law of methods; and Lin Sushuang's failure was due to etiquette, the etiquette of etiquette.
The loss of the three is a big taboo for the family.
From this, everyone gains something, and then they reflect on themselves and gain understanding.
…
As soon as the three-year period was over, Grandma Kong said goodbye to Old Mrs. Sheng. Although the old lady repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, Grandma Kong was still determined to leave. She came here just to teach the girls of the Sheng family. It's just convenient to reunite with my old sisters.
At this time, Grandma Kong was already satisfied after spending three years with Mrs. Sheng.
"Sister, please stop sending me gifts!"
Outside the gate of the Sheng family, Grandma Kong sat on the carriage and waved to Mrs. Sheng: "One day, we old sisters will get together again!"
"well!"
In the windy place, Mrs. Sheng leaned on Minglan's support, holding back tears as she watched her old friend leave.
Although she felt sad and didn't want to let go of her old friends, she also understood that she couldn't stop this.
Grandma Kong has already told the old lady that after she returns to her hometown this time, she plans to die in her hometown and return to her roots. Even though she has experienced all kinds of prosperity in the world, after all, there is still only one person.
The Imperial Palace in Ouchi is such a dangerous place. It is extremely rare for Grandma Kong to be able to escape with her own strength. It is her lifelong wish to return to her hometown. Therefore, Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to say goodbye in tears. , Goodbye by fate.
"Grandma, don't be sad!"
Minglan supported Old Mrs. Sheng and comforted her: "Mother Kong is just returning to her hometown. If you have time, my granddaughter will go to Grandma Kong's hometown with you someday to see her!"
"hehe……"
Old Mrs. Sheng turned her head and glanced at the little granddaughter beside her, and waved her hand in a dazed manner: "I hope this old lady like me can really hold on until that day!"
The old lady is inevitably a little sentimental when old friends are separated, and when the person reaches old age, it is natural that she also feels sad.
"grandmother……"
Seeing this, Minglan could only call out sadly.
"Let's go back!"
After Grandma Kong's carriage disappeared, the old lady waved her hand and led everyone back to the house.
…
Three years passed like a white colt passing through a gap, like a galloping horse passing through a gap.
In these years, the Sheng family has also undergone considerable changes.
First of all, Sheng Hong's official position has finally changed. He has become a fifth-grade Ministry of Industry official. Although it is not an important position, it has good benefits and there is no conflict over interests. It is in line with Sheng Hong's indifferent temperament. , at the very least, Sheng Hong was at ease after joining the Ministry of Industry, and was valued and convinced by his superiors and colleagues.
Secondly, the most important thing for the Sheng family is coming soon.
The most important step for Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, Qi Heng and others, that is, the difficult examination on the way to the imperial examination, is coming.
This year, Sheng Changbai is eighteen years old, and this is the first time he has entered the examination room of that examination. In fact, he had already won the examination a few years ago and had the opportunity to participate in the examination. However, Sheng Changbai felt that his background was insufficient, so he I gave up that spring trip and left it for next time.
In the same way, the situation of Qi Heng and Sheng Changquan is similar. They both took the provincial examination and the national examination in the same year.
But Sheng Changfeng is different. He just won the election last year, and his ranking is not at the top. However, he feels that he is strong and his articles have reached a state of perfection, so he is determined to work hard and prepare for a blockbuster!
Therefore, Sheng Changfeng couldn't wait to participate in this spring, preparing to compete with his eldest brother.
So, for a while, everyone in the Sheng family was busy with this matter, preparing everything for the few reading seeds in the house, just when the gold list was named.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Tingye, the second son of Ningyuan Houfu, also left Bailudong Academy not long ago and returned to Tokyo to prepare for the exam. Because Mr. Zhuang Ru is famous and Gu Tingye has a good relationship with Sheng Changbai, so he is Before the exam, he enrolled in the Shengjia School and listened to the guidance of Zhuang Xuexue.
Therefore, this time, there are four students in the Shengjia School waiting for the exam.
At the same time, it was time for Sheng Changquan on the other side to come to an end.
However, what he wanted to take was the first step of the imperial examination, which was the children's examination.
However, the children's examination is divided into three sessions, namely the county examination, the government examination and the college examination. The first two are the selection examinations to obtain the qualifications of children, while the college examination is the first step for children to become scholars and advance to official careers.
Although the three time periods are different and there are many restrictions, as Sheng Hong is a capital official, his heirs will always receive preferential treatment. During the reign of Taizu, in order to favor the line of civil servants, an imperial edict was issued on this, explicitly ordering the capital officials to Heirs can take the county or government examinations nearby to show their favor.
After all, although the Tongsheng class has a literary name, it is still not in the mainstream. Compared with the court, it is neither itchy nor painful, so it is easy to let it go without being too strict. But it is different when it comes to the hospital examination!
Once you pass the academic examination, you will be considered a scholar, and you can have many privileges, such as not bowing to the official position, not serving as an official, being exempted from rent and taxes, etc. Therefore, Taizu ordered that everyone must return to their place of origin to take the scientific examination, and they are not allowed to do anything for personal gain. To avoid fraud.
Therefore, Sheng Changquan can also take the child student examination in Tokyo this time, and then return to his hometown in Youyang to take the college examination.
…
Zhiyuan Hall.
In Sheng Changquan's courtyard.
"Chang Qing, are you ready with everything I want?"
A clear and gentle male voice came from the study.
"Sir, everything is fine!"
Outside the door, a burly man with a simple and honest appearance replied respectfully.
