How could he forget this?
However, fortunately, only Sheng Changquan's master and servant knew about this matter. Others, even the Rong family members, did not know Sheng Changquan's true identity, so there was no need to worry that this matter would be exposed for a while.
…
Just like that, after that day, Minglan's condition really got better day by day.
Not only the aging Mrs. Sheng could tell, but even Ru Lan, who had always been heartless, noticed something different about her.
In Rulan's words, Minglan's current state is like a cauliflower snake that sheds its skin after hibernation and has new vitality and vitality.
However, having said that, Ru Lan's way of speaking is always so unpleasant.
She looks exactly like Mrs. Wang!
Speaking of Mrs. Wang, I have to say another thing that made her sad.
…
Wei Ruixuan.
"Woo~"
"This wolf-hearted thing actually decided Bai'er's marriage on his own without even discussing it with me. Does he still have eyes for me, the housekeeper's wife?"
Mrs. Wang lay on her bed, crying with runny nose and tears.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Madam, please don't be sad. The master does this for his own reasons!"
Mrs. Wang’s “caring person”, Mrs. Liu, tried her best to comfort her.
"Humph, this heartless thing!"
Mrs. Wang was still aggrieved: "I worked so hard to give birth to Bai'er!"
"During the ten months I was pregnant with Bai'er, did anything happen to him?"
The more Mrs. Wang talked, the more she felt aggrieved, especially when she thought about how she was bullied by Lin Qige in daily life!
The tears in her eyes flowed down.
"Oh, madam, don't cry!"
Mother Liu took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully for Mrs. Wang. At the same time, she whispered in her mouth: "Madam, what you said is wrong!"
Mother Liu has always been on Mrs. Wang's side, but this time she wants to support Sheng Hong.
"Madam, the master is Brother Bai's biological father, and you will never harm him!"
Mother Liu was moved with emotion, and Xiao Zhi said rationally: "What's more, Brother Bai is the eldest son and grandson of the family, and his marriage is also related to the future of Sheng Mansion!"
"Not to mention the master, even the old lady in Shou'an Hall will definitely keep a close eye on her!"
"How can the master choose a daughter-in-law at will?"
After hearing what Liu's mother said, Mrs. Wang felt better.
In fact, Wang Ruofu also knew in her heart that Sheng Hong was more reliable than herself, but it happened that after she heard the news, she couldn't control her emotions for a while, and felt extremely uncomfortable, and then her emotions rose. , which naturally leads to a reaction.
However, as she vented her anger, her mood gradually improved.
"snort!"
Mrs. Wang sobbed and said, "What you said makes sense!"
"However, I still want to talk to him about this matter!"
Mrs. Wang still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "He dared to arrange a marriage for Bai'er today without consulting me. Then in the future, wouldn't he just marry my Ru'er without even saying hello?" Get married?"
"Bai'er is the one who entered the family this time, but if it were Ru'er, it would be different!"
Mrs. Wang looked annoyed!
"For Ru'er's sake, I will never let him pass this test easily this time!"
"Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Madam, you are right!"
"You should think so!"
"..."
Mother Liu agreed with her master's words, but she couldn't help but cursed in her heart: "Just us girls, I'm afraid the master won't be so careful!"
In fact, everyone in the Sheng family can see that although Sheng Hong loves every one of his children, there is only one that he dislikes the least.
That is Rulan.
Of course, this does not mean that Sheng Hong will not care about Ru Lan, but it means that among these children, Ru Lan is the one who dislikes him the least.
Among Sheng Hong's daughters, Ru Lan is neither as sensible and generous as Hua Lan, nor as talented as Mo Lan, who can write poems. Unfortunately, it can't be done.
Rulan perfectly inherited her mother's directness and fiery temper, coupled with her mother's love, so she usually speaks and does things in a reckless manner, carrying guns and sticks, and rarely acts coquettishly like Sheng Hong. When you are soft.
Therefore, even though Ru Lan is Sheng Hong's legitimate daughter, after being repeatedly contradicted by her, it is difficult for Sheng Hong to love her as much as he loves other daughters.
Of course, the same is true for Ru Lan. She often thinks in her heart that her father is a fool!
An old fool who has been deceived by Mo Lan and his daughter!
"uh-huh!"
Mrs. Wang was like a cat that had been petted by Mother Liu, humming proudly.
However, before she could be proud for long, she suddenly turned around and asked with a frown.
"By the way, do you know what this Heidegger's daughter is like?"
"Ah? Madam, don't you know?"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's inquiry, Mother Liu was also surprised!
"I saw how excited you were before, and I thought you knew the situation of the Hai family!"
Because Liu's mother and Wang Ruofu have been masters and servants for many years, when there is no one around, the titles between them are not so formal. To be honest, at this time, they are not talking like masters and servants, but more like a couple. Chatting to old sisters.
"Huh? This..."
Mrs. Wang was also a little embarrassed, but after all, the two of them were old acquaintances, so after nodding slightly shyly, she admitted frankly: "This... I was just angry before, wasn't it? "
"At that time, how could I care about these things?"
"this……"
Liu's mother also had a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Madam, I just heard about the Hai family today. In fact, I don't know the specific situation of their family at all."
"That's it!"
Mrs. Wang's expression was a little disappointed, but she soon became very serious.
"Actually, I've heard a little bit about the Hai family!"
After all, she is an official's wife, and the circle of ladies in Bianjing City is so large, so Wang Ruofu has no real news at all.
"Speaking of which, if Bai'er can really marry this girl from the Hai family, our family will be in a league of its own!"
Wang Ruofu said matter-of-factly: "This Hai family is not a simple one. For generations in their family, there have been people who have served as officials in the court!"
"Besides, when my father was alive, he once told me about the Hai family."
Madam Wang's face showed a look of reminiscence: "The old man said that the Hai family is a family that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Their family's heritage can be traced back to the previous dynasties!"
The previous Daqian dynasty was established for 312 years, the previous Dazhen dynasty was established for 405 years, and the current dynasty only experienced seventy-seven years of Spring and Autumn Period.
"The Hai family has been able to survive through three dynasties, and you can imagine the background behind it!"
"Even from the beginning of this dynasty to the present day, there are people from their family in the court!"
There was a hint of envy in Mrs. Wang's eyes: "So, let alone the Sheng family, even the Wang family when my father was alive is not comparable to others!"
"Ah? Wouldn't that be better?"
Mother Liu looked confused: "Madam, if Brother Bai really marries a girl from the Hai family, won't his future career be smooth sailing?"
"Brother Bai is lucky to have a family like the Hai family to help him!"
"Then why do you..."
Mother Liu didn't say anything else, but Mrs. Wang understood it clearly.
"hehe!"
Wang Ruofu smiled bitterly.
"Actually, you don't know what's going on here!"
Mrs. Wang spoke with some irony: "Did you know that the Hai family has an ancestral motto!"
"That's 'people from the Hai family must stay in pairs for the rest of their lives'!"
"Huh? What does this mean?"
Mother Liu didn't think about it for a while, but she didn't know the specific meaning.
"Ah!"
Wang Ruofu sneered and said: "It's very simple. The meaning of this ancestral precept is that after the Hai family marries a wife, no other people are allowed to exist!"
"Among them, regardless of whether they are men or women, as long as they are from the Hai family, they must abide by the rules!"
At this time, Mother Liu finally understood Mrs. Wang's concerns.
"Madam, this shouldn't happen, right?"
She frowned and analyzed: "What if the Hai family has some physical problems and cannot reproduce heirs? We can't let their family die, right?"
"well!"
Mrs. Wang waved her hands and continued: "That's not necessary!"
"There is one piece left in the ancestral motto of the Hai family - 'Only when children are forty years old and have no children can they take concubines'!"
"That is to say, unless the Hai family reaches the age of forty, as long as they exist, it is absolutely impossible for another person to come into the family!"
In other words, it is precisely because of this ancestral precept of the Hai family that it is easy for the men of the Hai family to find wives, but it is difficult for their daughters to marry.
For those families who have choices, being the daughter-in-law of their Hai family would be the best thing, but it would be difficult to marry their daughter.
After all, as parents, most of them hope that their children will have many children and grandchildren. How can they only have one wife?
Therefore, this Heidegger's ancestral teaching has also caused many people who want to climb the ladder to retreat.
However, Sheng Hong saw a good opportunity in it!
"So, my lord..."
At this moment, Liu's mother also understood Sheng Hong's thoughts and his thoughts.
"snort!"
Wang Ruofu sneered and said: "He himself can't abide by the rules of the Hai family and accepted the bitch from Lin Qige, but now he wants to make my Bai'er suffer this crime!"
"He is really a good father to Bai'er!"
When she thought of this, Madam Wang began to feel a new round of anger in her heart.
In fact, speaking of Sheng Hong's thoughts, he was really wronged.
Because Sheng Hong proposed Sheng Changbai's marriage, and Mrs. Sheng chose it.
At first, Sheng Hong chose girls from three families for Sheng Changbai. However, because it was related to the future prosperity of the Sheng family, he did not dare to make the decision alone. In the end, he had to ask Mrs. Sheng for advice.
It is often only at this time that Sheng Hong remembers Old Mrs. Sheng and thinks of her foresight. Otherwise, if it weren't for the ethical issues, he would wish to move out so that he could stay far away from the old lady. Yes will see her.
In fact, Mrs. Sheng really had nothing to say to Sheng Hong. However, it was precisely because the old lady's kindness was so heavy that Sheng Hong felt uncomfortable.
First, in Sheng Hong's heart, he actually had complaints.
He has always secretly resented his childhood experiences and resented the death of his biological mother, Chun Xiaoniang!
Although he knew that the main cause of this incident was his father Sheng Xu's beloved concubine who killed his wife, there was no blame on Old Mrs. Sheng at all. In fact, even Old Mrs. Sheng herself was poisoned by that man and died. The only child, but Sheng Hong still felt uncomfortable.
Sometimes, he would also think that back then, if Old Mrs. Sheng hadn't allowed Mr. Sheng Xu to do whatever he wanted, how could she have been able to subdue that mere concubine with her courageous status as the legitimate daughter-in-law?
Therefore, he has resentment in his heart!
Secondly, it was because of Sheng Hong's own dignity. After all, he was a man and the head of the Sheng Mansion. If he had to ask the old lady for advice on anything, wouldn't it mean that he was incompetent?
Therefore, he did not want to trouble the old lady unless necessary.
Closer to home, among the three candidates Sheng Hong chose for Mrs. Sheng, one was a family friend of the Sheng family, a former friend of the same age as Mr. Sheng Xu, a girl from Geng Yong's uncle's family.
The Geng family had a good relationship with the Sheng family. If it weren't for Geng Yong's help, it would have been difficult for Sheng Hong to be promoted to a capital official.
Sheng Hong chose the daughter of the Geng family because the relationship between the two families was good, so that Sheng Changbai would not have any family worries in the future.
The second one is the second girl of the Hai family.
The main reason why Sheng Hong fell in love with the Hai family girl was because of the Hai family's family background.
As long as Sheng Changbai marries a girl from the Hai family, his future career will be greatly helped. After all, the power of the Geng family is not comparable to that of the Shanghai family.
As for Sheng Hong's third candidate, it was the Bao family from Jiangnan.
The Bao family is a small family that has only emerged in recent decades. Compared with the Geng family and the Hai family, the Bao family's background and power are much smaller, but one thing is that the Bao family's latecomers are superior.
That is the reputation of Mr. Bao Jinchuan, the current head of the Bao family.
Because Mr. Bao is a quite famous scholar in today's literary world.
But the reputation of their Bao family is extremely high in the eyes of scholars.
Of course, the girls from the three families Sheng Hong chose are all good, at least they have excellent character!
However, when the three choices came into the hands of Mrs. Sheng, she chose the Hai family within a quarter of an hour.
"Choose this girl from the Hai family!"
The old lady settled the matter immediately with one hammer blow.
