"Mom, my brother has won. This is a great joy!"
It was Shen Jun who recovered first. She took out the handkerchief, wiped her mother's tears carefully, and then said warmly: "Mom, please stop crying. At this time, we should go back home quickly and tell our father!"
"ah?"
"Yes! Jun'er, you are right!"
The eldest lady of the Shen family also lost her sense of joy for a moment. After all, this was not in her own home. If people saw this scene, they would inevitably not comment.
The eldest lady of the Shen family forcibly suppressed the agitation in her heart, grabbed her son beside her, then turned to the maids next to her, and ordered: "Quick, hurry up and prepare the carriage!"
"After we tell Mrs. Wu, we will return home as soon as possible!"
At the same time, Shen Jun on the side also ordered a young boy with quick legs and feet to return home quickly and inform Shen Shouzheng of the news first.
The maids who followed the eldest lady of the Shen family were all her confidants, and they were all aware of the eldest lady's unusual concern for Shen Li's fame. Seeing the appearance of the master at this moment, they naturally did not dare to delay any longer. , responded hurriedly and went to prepare.
"Mom, do we also want to go together?"
Seeing that only three of his family members were left in the pavilion, Shen Li walked to his mother's side and asked softly.
"You!"
The eldest lady of the Shen family could see through Shen Li's unwillingness to socialize at a glance. She poked her son's forehead angrily and couldn't help but smile and curse: "Okay!"
"Today is considered a special situation. You and your sister will go to the carriage and wait there. Mom, just go and say something!"
"Hey, thank you, mother!"
Shen Li smiled brightly, and without waiting for Shen Jun to speak, he quickly pulled her over and led her towards the side.
"Sister, come with me, I have something to tell you!"
"Oh, brother, please slow down!"
"..."
"hehe!"
Seeing her two children being so friendly, the eldest lady of the Shen family couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Although Li'er is not very talented, she has a pure heart!"
The eldest lady of the Shen family sighed slightly and sighed secretly: "I really hope that Li'er can successfully pass the examination as a scholar and then inherit the position of an official."
"Otherwise, God would be too harsh on Li'er!"
She loves her own children. In Mrs. Shen's heart, she naturally feels that Shen Li has various benefits. Even if it has no authority, can't it be interpreted as a pure character?
…
After he was far away from the pavilion, Shen Li slowly stopped and at the same time let go of Shen Jun's hand.
"Brother, what on earth are you going to say?"
Shen Jun took a few breaths in discomfort at first, and after a while, he recovered.
"Brother, what on earth are you going to say?"
Seeing that Shen Li remained silent, Shen Jun was also quite curious: "Why are you deliberately avoiding mother?"
"hey-hey!"
Shen Li looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he spoke cautiously and tentatively: "Sister, actually I want to say that I have made a new friend during this time!"
"Um?"
Shen Jun raised his beautiful eyes, a little angry: "So what?"
"Is there any need to avoid mother?"
"Alas~"
"Sister, listen to me!"
Shen Li came to his sister's side and began to introduce: "My brother's name is Sheng Changquan. He is the head of this case, and he is also..."
…
Not to mention the happiness on Shen Li's side, the Sheng Mansion on the other side was gradually becoming lively.
That night, Sheng Hong left the office and returned to his house as before.
After all, Shandaren, a fifth-rank official, does not have social activities every day.
Because the court valued filial piety, the first thing Sheng Hong did every time he returned home was to go to the old lady's yard to pay her respects.
Even if Old Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth and spared his greetings, Shanda Shanda, who was cautious by nature and valued reputation, would never listen. For Shanda people, he would not let himself be burdened with "unfilial piety" even if he died. Not even possible.
Everyday greetings are never left behind, and today is no exception.
"Um?"
However, this time there is something different.
On this day, as soon as Sheng Hong stepped into Shou'an Hall, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in this room was different from the past.
He took a closer look and saw that Sheng Changquan was back.
"Haha, Chang Quan, are you back?" Sheng Hong was also happy.
Sheng Hong really likes Sheng Changquan, his youngest child, from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he likes all three boys. After all, these are the continuation of his Sheng Hong bloodline.
"My child meets his father!"
When Sheng Changquan saw Sheng Hong back, he immediately stood up and bowed to his father.
"Um!"
After realizing that his true feelings were revealed, Sheng Hong began to deliberately suppress the smile on his face and pretend to be a strict father.
After all, this is the Confucian rule - when treating your son, you must have a strict father's attitude, preferably three times a day, so that the child can make progress and have a future.
"father!"
At this time, Minglan also stood up gracefully, feeling blessed.
Sheng Hong nodded, and then bowed to Mrs. Sheng in the hall and said, "My son has met his mother!"
"Get up!"
Mrs. Sheng in the hall gave Sheng Hong a weak hand and signaled her to get up.
"You all should sit down too!"
Seeing that Minglan and her brother were both standing, Mrs. Sheng spoke.
"Yes, Grandma!"
After responding, Sheng Changquan and Minglan both sat down one after another, and Sheng Hong also sat on the Taishi chair in front of Mrs. Sheng.
"Ahem!"
Seeing everyone sitting down, Sheng Hong finally couldn't help it anymore!
"Chang Quan, how was your childbirth examination this time? Did you get on the list?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but smiled: "This kid is still so concerned about fame!"
Ever since the death of Sheng Hong's biological mother, Chun Xiaoniang, Sheng Hong has been personally raised by Mrs. Sheng, so Mrs. Sheng really knows his temperament very well.
"Go back to father!"
Sheng Changquan was confident in his heart, and his appearance was certainly true: "My child is lucky to be on the list this time, and he has won the first place on the two lists."
"What?"
When Sheng Hong heard the news, he was shocked. He didn't notice that he accidentally pulled out a beard under his chin!
You know, the most precious thing for Sheng Hong is his beautiful beard, but at this time, he can't care about his "beloved" beard!
"Doesn't that mean that you already have the reputation of being a scholar?"
Sheng Hong looked happy: "You can participate in the next township..."
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, Sheng Hong stopped talking and became calm again.
It turned out that Sheng Hong suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He thought about the Confucian rules of governance that his family regarded as the norm, so he immediately changed his attitude, pretended to be very calm, and said leisurely: "Chang Quan, since you have it. As the head of the government, wouldn’t you already be able to receive the title of scholar?”
Even so, the joy on Sheng Hong's face could not be concealed.
"Father, that's true!"
