Ze and hall.
Study room, in Zhiyuan Hall.
At this time, Sheng Changquan was wearing a green robe with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, sitting behind the desk with outstanding elegance.
He held a pen in one hand and a book in the other. He stared at the contents of the book closely with both eyes, but he was not distracted at all and seemed to be very attentive.
Compared with Qi Heng's appearance before, Sheng Changquan can be regarded as a serious scholar.
After all, scholars read with their heads hanging from the beam and their buttocks pierced. How could they be as absent-minded as Qi Heng was before?
Because he was in his study room, Sheng Changquan didn't pay much attention to his manners. He just messed up his hair, casually tied it together with a navy blue ribbon, gathered it roughly and put it away. At the back of the head.
Because it was not tied tightly, the thick black silk was casually draped behind his head and rested "lazily" on his shoulders.
However, even with such "misbehavior", coupled with Sheng Changquan's own handsome appearance, his temperament is still as dazzling as a firefly in the dark night, making people happy.
Then again, Sheng Changquan's "misbehavior" is not because Cuiming, Ziyuan and others are lazy and don't comb his hair. On the contrary, they always ask their young master to allow them to tuck his hair and dress him up. Deportment, and strive to keep Sheng Changquan's image perfect.
However, Sheng Changquan chose to refuse. His current posture was what he asked for.
Perhaps because of some habits in his previous life, Sheng Changquan was not used to long hair and always felt that it was in the way. However, in this life, "the hair and skin of the body are received by the parents", so under this strict etiquette, Sheng Changquan could only be Be like the light and dust, and keep your hair long like the people in the world.
Not to mention, she does look very elegant after growing her hair long. Sheng Changquan only misses his short hair when he is grooming.
After all, in addition to "making you look handsome", long hair also has troublesome side effects.
Therefore, in the end, Sheng Changquan could only dress himself up in this unruly look in his own private time to relax his mind and body.
Over time, he became more fond of this relaxed state. It even helped to soothe his mind and increase his learning efficiency.
"I see!"
Looking at the scroll in his hand, Sheng Changquan showed a smile.
Speaking of which, this book is actually not an ordinary thing, but a handwritten note from Sheng Changquan's grandfather, Mr. Sheng Xu, which is his last experience recording his life's journey to the imperial examination.
In fact, not only Mr. Sheng, but also Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai were like this. They also recorded their experiences in the imperial examination in a notebook for the heirs of the Sheng family to read carefully.
Even Sheng Changfeng had such a handbook. However, because his imperial examination had not yet ended, his handbook could not be included in the Sheng family's library.
At this time, the secret library of the Sheng family already contained the imperial examination manuscripts of three people, namely Sheng Xu, Sheng Hong, and the newly released second-class Jinshi, Sheng Changbai.
Because starting from the old lady Sheng, all the leaders of the Sheng family have the desire to revitalize the Sheng family. From the old lady Sheng to the old man Sheng, then to Sheng Hong, to Sheng Changbai, four generations of the family all have such ambitions. .
However, the rise of the Sheng family ultimately started from the generation of Mrs. Sheng, so the foundation of the Sheng family is still quite shallow. Compared with those long-standing aristocratic families, if the Sheng family wants to catch up, it must It has to be accumulated bit by bit.
Having said that, regardless of his character, Mr. Sheng Xu is extremely capable.
Especially when it comes to revitalizing the family, he is even more conscientious and does not dare to relax. The reason why Sheng Hong has such an obsession is because of the factors of Mr. Sheng.
Mr. Sheng knows that the foundation of the Sheng family is weak, so he always thinks about laying a solid foundation for the Sheng family. However, today is different from the past. In today's imperial court, if you want to stand out and revitalize the family business, the fastest and most effective way is to There is only one good way, and that is the imperial examination.
Therefore, Mr. Sheng attaches great importance to the education of the heirs of the Sheng family. This old tradition of the Sheng family - note-taking is the family motto he left behind.
To be honest, Sheng Hong was able to pass the top three exams in such a difficult environment, and the imperial examination notes left by his father also contributed a lot.
"I didn't expect that my grandfather's talents were so great!"
After reading what Mr. Sheng recorded, Sheng Changquan was filled with admiration.
It was really because he saw something in it that would only be found in later generations.
For example, some of them talk about the most critical learning methods, and they are also methods that are almost inductively perfect.
In this handbook of Mr. Sheng, in addition to these scientific learning methods, he also specifically lists some examples to prove it.
For example, after high school, he used two different methods to teach students and recorded their different learning progress in a book for his own comparison.
Although it is somewhat unethical to do so, in this world, the king of heaven and earth is the king of the world. As a teacher, Mr. Sheng also has the right to do this.
As expected, the final result was that there was a huge gap in learning efficiency between the two people. It was precisely because of this that Mr. Sheng valued his achievements so much and regarded them as the heritage of the Sheng family to be passed down from generation to generation.
"Grandpa is so awesome!"
After Sheng Changquan read the entire notebook, he suddenly felt respected: "It seems that this old man is not only handsome in appearance, but also has an IQ far beyond ordinary people!"
Mr. Sheng was able to win the top prize because, in addition to his own strength, his appearance was also extremely lethal, otherwise he would not have won the top prize.
After all, it usually takes a handsome man to win the third prize.
Of course, it is not to mention that Mr. Sheng used this to attract Mrs. Sheng, the legitimate daughter of the Yongyi Marquis.
"hehe!"
Thinking of this story, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but smile.
"It's a pity that we only have a portrait of the old man at home, but no photos. I don't know how handsome he is?"
The painting techniques at this time paid great attention to artistic conception, but did not go into realism in detail. After all, people at this time were still somewhat restricted in their thinking, and they had never thought of pursuing realism.
Of course, there may be people in this world who want to pursue realism, but due to external factors such as talent and teachers, such people rarely appear in front of the world.
"Boom!"
Sheng Changquan placed the book in his hand on the table and gently closed the page.
This manuscript is not the one written by Mr. Sheng. Mr. Gein's original manuscript has long been properly collected by Sheng Hong and enshrined in the ancestral hall. The book in Sheng Changquan's hand is actually a copy he copied himself.
"Boom! Boom!"
Just when Sheng Changquan put down the note and was about to get up, there was a sudden knock on the door from Ziyuan.
"Master, Miss Ming is here!"
Ziyuan had been paying attention to the movements in Zhiyuan Hall. When she saw Sheng Changquan's actions, she immediately stood up and knocked on the nearby door frame, saying softly.
With the passage of time, and as Sheng Changquan grew up, regardless of his age or status, the yard of Zeyutang gradually began to become more orderly.
With Minglan's help, Sheng Changquan also divided the courtyard into several parts.
Among them, Cuiming has been with Sheng Changquan for the longest time and the two of them have the deepest relationship, so she serves as the housekeeper of Sheng Changquan's courtyard and assists Sheng Changquan in handling chores in the courtyard.
Since Ziyuan loves reading the most, she is responsible for Sheng Changquan's study. While Kikyo is lively and smart, she will serve as Ze Yutang's "diplomatic ambassador" and be responsible for communication with the outside world.
As for Qingfeng and Mingyue, because they are still young, they have no status. They can only run behind the three elder sisters and do whatever they are told.
Of course, these names are not stated clearly, they are just vaguely expressed in this way.
"Huh? Sister is here?"
Sheng Changquan was surprised!
"Ziyuan, when did sister come?"
Sheng Changquan stood up, walked outside the study, and asked Ziyuan next to him.
"Master, Miss Six has been here for a while!"
Ziyuan took out the key and locked the door of Zhiyuan Hall for Sheng Changquan, and explained.
"However, Miss Six saw that you were studying, young master, so she didn't let us disturb you."
Because the study room is the most important place in the courtyard, Zhiyuan Hall must be locked when no one is around, and the key is in Ziyuan's hand and she is responsible for keeping it.
"Um."
Sheng Changquan nodded thoughtfully, with some guesses in his mind - "The only thing that comes to me now is Qi Heng's business!"
"In that case, Shion, then I will take the first step!"
Now that he had already guessed something, Sheng Changquan simply went to Minglan directly to save the other party from being anxious.
"Yes, Master."
Ziyuan replied from behind, but she still remained calm and calm.
…
Ze Yutang, the main hall.
"Sister Cuiming, how are you doing, Brother Quan?"
Although Minglan was anxious about Qi Heng's matter, she had no way to find out without Sheng Changquan, so she had no choice but to ask other questions first and care about her younger brother.
In fact, Minglan has always been paying attention to Sheng Changquan's life situation.
After all, there was really nothing she could do to help him in civil and military matters. The only thing she could do was to care about Sheng Changquan's daily expenses for food and clothing.
"Miss Ming!"
"Brother Quan is still the same as before, there hasn't been any big change."
Because Shouantang Lihuaqi was close to Ze Yutang, and Cuiming was familiar with the Minglan siblings, so although she still remained respectful when speaking, there was a hint of familiarity underneath.
"It's better if you don't have it!"
Minglan nodded slightly, feeling slightly comforted.
However, in order to prevent Sheng Changquan from deliberately asking Cuiming to report good news but not bad news, she also added a special sentence.
"Sister Cuiming, if there is any shortage on my brother's side, you must not listen to his report of good news but not bad news. If you really have any difficulties, just come to Shou'an Hall to find me!"
Minglan said this in a domineering manner, but in reality this would only happen when Sheng Changquan was at stake.
Cuiming and others knew that Minglan's sister and brother had a difficult life in the Sheng family. Sheng Changquan was okay, he was a man after all, and there was little interaction under Sheng Hong's attention.
But Minglan is different. Girls live in the backyard, so there are often some more sinister soft knives to deal with. When Sheng Changquan is not involved, Minglan often chooses to retreat when faced with these things. One step, endure these.
However, there is one thing that is taboo for her!
That is, these things cannot involve her brother, Sheng Changquan, otherwise, she will make a fuss and completely expose these things in front of everyone.
Sheng Changquan had such an experience when he was still a baby.
Minglan was only a five-year-old child at that time, but she completely made a fuss because the wet nurse at that time force-fed a bowl of cold milk into Sheng Changquan's mouth, whether intentionally or unintentionally!
In the end, not only Mrs. Wang, but also all the principals including Sheng Hong and Mrs. Sheng came forward and got together to deal with the matter thoroughly and directly pursue the nanny. For his mother's dereliction of duty, she was severely punished!
At the same time, Sheng Hong also gave the steward who recommended the nanny a beating, and finally kicked him out of the Sheng Mansion!
Of course, although Sheng Changquan couldn't speak at that time, he could see his heart clearly than anyone else.
What happened that time was that Sheng Changquan deliberately revealed it in front of Minglan, in order to force the wet nurse to leave.
By the way, the steward who recommended this wet nurse was the envoy next to Lin Sushuang and a distant relative of Zhou Xueniang. She followed the path of Lin Qige and became a steward of the Sheng Mansion.
At that time, Sheng Changquan, relying on his strong body, deliberately ate cold porridge in front of Minglan to expose the matter, so that he could drive away the ill-intentioned people around him in one fell swoop.
However, this kind of thing only happened when Sheng Changquan was an infant, when he was still unable to take care of himself. When he could speak, nothing like this happened again.
It's not that the other party didn't take action, but that all these conspiracies were defeated by Sheng Changquan's words.
At that time, Sheng Changquan had no other skills. Apart from moving his mouth, he had no other choice. Therefore, with his face, he could not only please Wang Ruofu, but also catch Lin Sushuang and complain. In the end, Sheng Changquan finally established a firm foothold in Wei Ruixuan and won the love of Mrs. Wang.
"Miss Ming, Cuiming knows!"
After seeing Cuiming's statement, Minglan felt relieved.
…
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
Just as Minglan and Cuiming were talking, there was a burst of footsteps outside the house.
"Sister, are you looking for me?"
Before Sheng Changquan arrived, the voice came immediately.
