"No, mother, my son doesn't have..."
"No?"
"there is nothing?"
Before Sheng Wei could open his mouth to finish what he wanted to say, the old lady scolded him angrily.
"Weier, what kind of person are you? Mom really doesn't recognize you now!"
"Ask yourself, are you still the same Sheng Wei you were before?"
"Are you really worthy of Shulan by doing this?"
Hearing his mother speak like this, Sheng Wei suddenly blushed.
"Mom, although my son has some selfish motives, he definitely did not marry Shulan casually out of consideration for her feelings!"
"In my son's heart, Shulan is always my daughter. How could I, a father, harm her?"
At this point, Sheng Wei became excited. He straightened his back and said quickly: "Mom, you don't know the reason why you chose Sun Xiucai back then!"
"Although I chose him for Shulan, didn't the marriage still have Shulan's consent in the end?"
"If Shulan refuses, then there is no way we can force her!"
To be fair, what happened back then was exactly what Sheng Wei said.
However, there is another reason behind this.
"snort!"
"Don't you know what kind of temper Shulan is?"
The eldest lady looked at Sheng Wei and asked with a sneer: "How can she, a little girl, know the character of her husband!"
"At that time, because of the Sun family's attitude towards our Sheng family, I didn't agree with the marriage!"
At that time, the Sun family's attitude was extremely perfunctory when it came to getting married with the Sheng family. In fact, if it weren't for the matchmaker pulling the strings, the Sun scholar would not have been willing to stay in the Sheng family for a while longer.
It’s as if the Sheng family’s house is some kind of dirty place!
"At that time, if you and your wife hadn't said that this was the 'arrogance' of my new uncle as a scholar, I would have defeated him in a single blow!"
The old lady was so angry that she even revealed what she called herself when she was young.
"my son……"
Seeing the angry look of the old lady, Sheng Wei felt a little frightened for a moment, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
"well!"
After venting her anger, the old lady felt a little tired. She leaned on the table next to her and sighed.
"Weier, you must be regretting that you chose a bastard with no future as your son-in-law!"
There was a strong look of disappointment in the eyes of the old lady.
"Weier!"
"Why have you reached this point today and these are the only things left in your heart?"
"Have you never thought about Shulan's feelings from the beginning to the end?"
The old lady felt very sad. She really couldn't bear that her son had such a big change!
Become so cold-blooded!
Such interests come first!
You know, because of what happened to the old man, Sheng Wei swore when he was a child that he would never let his children follow his old path in the future, and that he would be a competent father in the future!
However, how can he be considered a competent father in his current posture?
"Once upon a time, Wei'er was always very fond of children. Why did she become like this unknowingly?"
Looking at Sheng Wei who dared not speak out, the eldest lady really couldn't figure it out.
"Weier, do you remember what you said when you were a child?"
The old lady tried to use past events to remind Sheng Wei: "You said that when you grow up, you will let your children live a happy life!"
"But!"
"What you are doing now, how can it be said that it is what a good father should do?"
"Shulan's life was ruined by you like this!"
The eldest lady's words were very sharp, and she directly told the inside and outside of Sheng Wei.
As for Sheng Wei, he was sweating profusely and mouthing Nono, as if he wanted to argue something. However, feeling guilty, he finally found that no matter what he said, it was useless.
Because even if he could deceive his mother, he couldn't deceive himself.
"Mother~"
In the end, Sheng Wei could only explain feebly: "Mom, it's not that my son and daughter-in-law are snobbish, but that our family really needs one of our own to be an official!"
Sheng Wei's words seemed to be speaking to the eldest lady, but also to himself: "Brother Hong, his family is an outsider after all. No matter how close the relationship between our two families is now, there will still be differences after all." !”
"We have the same family lineage, we must have one of our own!"
Although Sheng Wei's voice was soft, it was full of firmness, allowing people to instantly understand the firmness of the other person's thoughts upon hearing it.
"snort!"
Hearing this, the old lady frowned again and said coldly: "In that case, why are you talking to me, an old woman, about this?"
"Anyway, you are the head of the Sheng family. If anything happens, you can go and discuss it with your wife!"
At this time, the old lady didn't know what Shulan's life was like in the Sun family. She simply thought that Sheng Wei was dissing Sun Zhigao and had no future, so she felt a little unhappy.
"well……"
Seeing his mother's attitude, Sheng Wei was naturally even more embarrassed to say certain things.
…
When the Minglan siblings followed Pinlan into the Sun's house, Xiao Tao was already standing obediently in front of the Sun's house.
Because Minglan once called Xiaotao to inquire about Shulan, she was still very familiar with the location of the Sun family.
"Master, your medicine box!"
Xiao Tao carried a simple purple medicine box, walked to Sheng Changquan, and replied to him.
"Well, thank you very much, Sister Xiaotao!"
Sheng Changquan smiled slightly and easily took the medicine box from Xiao Tao's hand.
"Brother, let's go quickly!"
After Minglan greeted the two people next to her, she quickly followed Pinlan's footsteps and walked completely into Sun's house.
Sheng Changquan smiled slightly, but he was not as anxious as Minglan. Instead, he deliberately slowed down and prepared to take a good look at the environment of the Sun family. He planned to see something about the master's family from the layout and design of the house. Personality makes it easy to let go of future plans.
However, Sheng Changquan soon regretted his idea.
Because, on this road, Sheng Changquan's eyes were filled with bright golden color, and he felt that his eyes were going to go blind!
I don’t know what the Sun family’s brain circuit is going on. Their aesthetics are really weird!
In their eyes, what is satisfying and proud cannot be said to be completely normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but at least it is worthy of being miserable.
Anyway, with Sheng Changquan's in-depth observation, he felt that the house in front of him was really unbearable to look at!
After looking at it for a long time, Sheng Changquan shook his head slightly in his mind. He finally vaguely understood the aesthetic characteristics of the Sun family. It seemed that their family's "hobbies" all regarded "nobleness" as beauty.
Not only was the plaque in front of the gate dyed gold, but their tables, chairs, beds, and even the masonry walls were also dyed a light golden color.
However, fortunately, their family does not have enough financial resources to make all those things with gold. According to Sheng Changquan's observation, except for the plaque in front of the gate which is dyed with gold foil, the other things are made of a kind of gold foil. Apply with tung oil.
This kind of tung oil is called Jinfeng Shui, which is a kind of varnish. It is also a tool specially used by carpenters to apply to the surface of furniture to achieve anti-corrosion effect.
The reason why this kind of varnish is called Golden Phoenix Water is naturally because their appearance is golden, as dazzling as a golden phoenix.
However, although this kind of varnish is gorgeous in style, if you look at it for a long time, you can't help but feel uncomfortable. It's a bit like snow blindness, which makes people's eyes feel extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, when those craftsmen use Golden Phoenix Water, they often process it and add one or two other things to it to reduce the final color of the varnish so that it will not cause any problems when people use it. Impact.
However, Sheng Changquan discovered that the Sun family did the opposite. Not only did they not deal with golden feng shui, they even deliberately increased the concentration, making their home look "glorious and magnificent."
It's so golden that it's hard to keep your eyes open.
"elder sister!"
"elder sister……"
Pinlan walked in front of the Minglan siblings, shouting and moving forward quickly, without the need for the Sun family's servants to lead the way.
It seems that Pinlan must have been here before and has a very clear understanding of the layout of the Sun family.
"Sister!"
Seeing that the maids of the Sun family were reluctantly following Pinlan and not paying attention to the two of them, Sheng Changquan quietly came to Minglan's side and asked in a low voice: "Sister Pinlan didn't mean that she didn't like the Sun family. Of?"
"Why do you feel that she is so familiar with the environment here?"
Seeing Pinlan's actions, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but doubt what Pinlan had said before.
"Could it be that Pinlan actually..."
"No, do you really hate Sun Zhigao?"
Sheng Changquan rolled his eyes, but he was thinking secretly, and eighteen kinds of bloody Mary Su TV drama plots suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Alas~"
Minglan on the side didn't know what her brother next to her was thinking about. She just sighed and said, "Brother, you don't know!"
"Actually, this house originally belonged to my uncle and his family!"
"ah?"
Sheng Changquan was shocked: "Could this house be Sister Shulan's dowry?"
Although I had heard that the Sheng Wei family paid a lot of money for Shulan and the Sun family's marriage, Sheng Changquan really didn't expect that his uncle's family would go so far as to give him a room directly. The mansion was given to the Sun family.
You know, the house of the Sun family is not a compact two-entry house like Zhuangyuan Pavilion. This house of theirs is a real authentic three-entry house. Not only are the building materials used extremely exquisite, but the floor space is also large. It is small, enough for the main family of ten people to live in.
And these do not include the penthouses for servants and the like.
"Um!"
Minglan nodded gently, with a complex expression on her face.
"So, the Sun family can have such a comfortable life now because they actually rely on Sister Shulan."
"I don't know what they think, how dare they treat Sister Shulan so badly!"
"Don't they feel guilty for living in this courtyard?"
"Ah!"
Sheng Changquan chuckled slightly at this.
"Sister!"
"The world is big, and there are naturally many kinds of people in this world."
Sheng Changquan turned his head and said softly: "In our eyes, uncle and his family have suffered a loss, but in the eyes of the other party, this may not be the case!"
"Maybe they still feel wronged!"
Although he didn't know the specific reason for the marriage between the Sun family and the Sheng family, Sheng Changquan had already vaguely guessed what the Sun family was thinking.
"What?"
Minglan couldn't believe her ears: "What do they have to feel wronged about?"
"Could it be that by marrying a talented and beautiful person like Sister Shulan to a country scholar, Sun Zhigao has been wronged?"
Because most of the people Minglan came into contact with were scholars who were famous, she did not realize how high the status of a scholar was.
Especially in a small county like Youyang where literary style is not popular.
"hehe!"
"That's impossible to say!"
Sheng Changquan was holding his medicine box, half-smiling, but there was only a third of ridicule in his expression, and the rest was full of ridicule.
"maybe……"
"ah!"
"Sister!"
Before Sheng Changquan finished speaking, he suddenly heard Pinlan's scream!
"Well, something happened?"
Sheng Changquan reacted immediately. He didn't care about anything else. Without saying a word, he rushed towards the courtyard behind!
"It's...Sister Pinlan's voice!"
Minglan was startled for a moment, and it took her a while to wake up. She didn't waste any more time, but after speaking to Xiao Tao, she immediately followed Sheng Changquan's route and ran directly to the backyard.
Seeing Minglan's hurried steps, Xiaotao didn't have time to ask any more questions, and just followed her quickly, preparing to protect her girl.
After all, she knew what kind of family this Sun family was.
"We can't let the girl stay alone in the Sun family!"
Xiao Tao's idea is very simple: "This Sun family is not a kind place. Without my protection, there is no telling what danger the girl will encounter!"
"So, I have to protect the girl!"
…
After all, Minglan's footsteps were not as fast as Sheng Changquan's, so when she walked into the backyard with Xiaotao panting, what she saw was a very lively scene.
In the yard, Pinlan was hopping anxiously!
Judging from her appearance, if she hadn't been pulled by her sister Shulan, she would have jumped over accidentally.
That's right, it's not "jumping out", but "jumping over"!
