…
Regarding this, Mrs. Sheng also glanced at Mrs. Wang next to her with some despair, and found that she was still shrinking her neck, pretending to be a little quail.
"well!"
Old Mrs. Sheng sighed secretly in her heart, then forcibly changed her mind and opened her eyes.
"Uh-huh!"
Mrs. Sheng slowly looked around at the Sheng family members nearby, and said in a solemn tone: "Today is the day for Quan'er's provincial examination!"
"I don't want to see it!"
Mrs. Sheng's words were very weighty. Although she was neither hasty nor slow, she spoke loudly and had an indescribable momentum.
"I don't want to hear about things that are not conducive to the unity of the Sheng family!"
"Because these things are simply a sign of ruining the family!"
Mrs. Sheng glared at Mrs. Wang and Lin Sushuang opposite, indicating something.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Sheng gave the crutch in her hand a hard squeeze and slammed it to the ground, giving everyone a crash like a heavy hammer!
"Yes, mother!"
Hearing this voice, Sheng Hong was the first to come to his senses. He bent down and carefully approached Mrs. Sheng. He leaned over to apologize and said, "Mother, you are right!"
"This is all my son's fault. It is my son's inability to manage the house that leads to this situation!"
Sheng Hong had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"Oh! What a misfortune for our family!"
"My family is unfortunate!"
Sheng Hong kept lamenting in his heart, and at the same time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
After all, being so embarrassed in front of his mother really made him feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, Sheng Hong has always respected and obeyed Mrs. Sheng. Therefore, when Mrs. Sheng said this, regardless of whether it was his fault or not, Sheng Hong would rush over as soon as possible. Admit your mistake.
What's more, in Sheng Hong's heart, he has always had a small idea, that is, he wants to be a blockbuster and stun Mrs. Sheng!
To be honest, Sheng Hong was a little embarrassed in front of Mrs. Sheng. Not only because of their identities, one was a concubine who was adopted into the lap of his aunt, and the other was the head aunt who adopted the concubine. More importantly, Or the abilities of both of them.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Sheng Hong had to say that her aunt was really amazing. When something important happened, she could always come up with a solution calmly and calmly like Sheng Hong did when she was a child.
To be fair, Sheng Hong admired his biological mother, but precisely because of this, he also wanted to prove himself in front of her and fight for his biological mother.
Yes, the reason why Sheng Hong is so awkward is because of his status as a concubine and the past of his biological mother, Chun Xiaoniang...
Back to the subject, after hearing Sheng Hong's cliche confession, Mrs. Sheng just glanced at him calmly, without any change in her expression.
On the contrary, Mrs. Sheng didn't even look at Sheng Hong. Instead, she turned her gaze to Madam Wang and Lin Sushuang, staring at them quietly.
"Mother... mother!"
"Son... daughter-in-law... I know I was wrong!"
Mrs. Wang dared to argue, but she simply admitted her mistake to Mrs. Sheng.
She knew how powerful her mother-in-law was, and she also knew that she had read her own thoughts, so Mrs. Wang simply admitted her mistake, and it was entirely up to her to accept the punishment.
Anyway, Wang Ruofu recognized her!
Because she knew that if she was punished, Lin Sushuang would only be punished more severely, because she was the mistress, but the other party was just a concubine!
In the eyes of Mrs. Sheng, who values rules, the other party must never be compared with herself.
"Old lady, Guoshuang also knows that she was wrong!"
After Mrs. Wang admitted her mistake, Lin Sushuang followed her closely, and then she admitted her mistake under the "bland" look of Mrs. Sheng.
In this regard, Mrs. Sheng didn't say much, she just moved her eyes and looked elsewhere.
After all, these two are both elders, and they are outside, so they still have to save some face.
"Quan'er!"
Now that the incident has subsided, Mrs. Sheng didn't want to dwell too much on it. She turned to look at Sheng Changquan not far away and smiled kindly.
"Quan'er, don't worry about these mundane things today, tell your sisters quickly and go in!"
"Grandma, I'm just waiting for news about your high school!"
Mrs. Sheng's face showed a sign of intimacy and she spoke kindly to Sheng Changquan.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
After all, today is the day to enter the provincial examination. If something goes wrong at this time, I am afraid that something bad will happen. Although Sheng Changquan does not believe this, he will still be depressed after all. Therefore, when he saw Old Mrs. Sheng coming forward to persuade Only after meeting everyone did he look like this.
"Yes, Grandma!"
Sheng Changquan cheered up, nodded solemnly, and then assured his family, including Mrs. Sheng: "Please rest assured, Changquan will go all out on this trip and not embarrass the Sheng family!"
"Um!"
Sheng Hong on the side didn't care that he was admitting his mistake. He nodded secretly in his heart, feeling that Sheng Changquan's words were really accurate.
However, no wonder Sheng Hong, after all, he also felt that it was impossible for his son to fail the provincial examination.
Moreover, what pleased him the most was that Sheng Changquan had a strong "family concept of honor and disgrace"!
As a monarch who is committed to developing the Sheng family into a famous family, Sheng Hong naturally appreciates Sheng Changquan's values.
"alright!"
Sheng Hong's strange behavior quickly aroused Old Mrs. Sheng's idea. However, she didn't say much. She just glanced secretly at Sheng Hong, who was so happy that she was almost confused. There was a helpless smile on her eyebrows. .
Mrs. Sheng looked at the sisters gathered not far away, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "Hua'er, you sisters, please go up and talk to him!"
Over there, the four Lans headed by Hua Lan were standing together. At this time, after hearing Mrs. Sheng's greeting, the four of them followed the rules of ordering elders and younger ones and walked to Sheng Changquan one by one.
Hualan is the eldest sister, so she is also the first to come to Sheng Changquan. She looks at her half-brother, and her heart is a little complicated.
However, she had no ill intentions towards Sheng Changquan. After all, he was her younger brother and also belonged to her natal family. Hua Lan would only harbor ill intentions when she was crazy.
You know, after a woman gets married, in addition to her own efforts, the prosperity of her natal family and the excellence of her brothers and sisters are also important chips for her and her confidence.
"big sister!"
Seeing Hua Lan approaching, Sheng Changquan spoke first.
"Um!"
Looking at his younger brother who was already a head taller than him, Hua Lan nodded, suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, then stretched out his hand to straighten the wrinkled clothes in front of Sheng Changquan, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, you are also tall. Big!”
Hua Lan sighed with emotion: "I remember when we first came to Beijing, you were just a meat dumpling."
"hehe!"
Hualan looked at Sheng Changquan and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect you to be so old now and start taking the scientific examination!"
"Huh? This..."
Sheng Changquan was a little embarrassed when Hua Lan told her about the past. He touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Sister, what you said..."
There is no way, if other people are better, at least they don't remember what happened when they were children, but Sheng Changquan is different. He has a cheat, but he still remembers the embarrassment he lived when he was a baby.
After all, he was still young at the time and his body functions were not fully developed. Therefore, he was guilty of some common problems among babies, such as: breastfeeding, bedwetting...
"hehe!"
Hualan seemed to be recalling Sheng Changquan's past embarrassing events at the same time, and Hualan smiled even happier.
"big sister……"
"alright!"
Hualan had laughed enough and simply stopped teasing Sheng Changquan: "Then, big sister, I'm here to wish you a blockbuster success and a high school in one fell swoop!"
"snort!"
Sheng Changquan hummed insincerely, and then said with a smile: "Then let me borrow my elder sister's good words!"
"Hmph! You little naughty boy!"
Seeing Sheng Changquan's smile, Hualan was unconsciously infected, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
"By the way, seventh brother!"
Suddenly, Hua Lan remembered the instructions from his officials, so he couldn't help but add: "After the provincial examination is over, don't forget to sit at your eldest brother-in-law's house!"
"It's been several years, and my eldest sister has never seen you come to my door!"
Hua Lan said angrily: "Could it be that you look down on your eldest sister and your eldest brother-in-law?"
In fact, Hua Lan knew that the purpose of his officials' instructions was simply to take advantage of the relationship between the two families and take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with Sheng Changquan.
After all, Yuan Wenshao was a military attache. Although Taizu had raised the status of military attache in this dynasty, how could the habits developed over hundreds of thousands of years be easily changed since ancient times?
Therefore, how could Yuan Wenshao remain indifferent in the face of Sheng Changquan, who was destined to be a civil official and expected to win the top prize.
Therefore, Hua Lan’s trip today happened.
"Ah! What?"
Hearing Hua Lan's complaints, Sheng Changquan immediately screamed.
However, he also knew that Hua Lan was just joking, but he had no intention of exposing it. Instead, he cooperated and yelled: "Sister, you have killed me unjustly!"
After shouting this, Sheng Changquan said again: "Sister, you don't know, I have been studying abroad with my master in the past few years!"
"At that time, how can I find the time to return to Bianliang?"
Sheng Changquan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Besides, I have been busy preparing for the provincial examination recently, so naturally I don't have time to go to eldest sister's house!"
"snort!"
Hualan was amused by Sheng Changquan: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"Big sister wrongly blamed you!"
"That's what it is!"
Sheng Changquan murmured quietly, pretending to be unhappy on his face.
Behind him, Mo Lan and Ru Lan, like Hua Lan, moved forward to give blessings to Sheng Changquan.
However, compared to Hua Lan and Ru Lan's sincerity, something was wrong with Mo Lan. There seemed to be something hidden in her words, with a vague sourness.
In response, Sheng Changquan just narrowed his eyes but said nothing more.
On the contrary, Hua Lan, who was next to him, glanced at Mo Lan thoughtfully, with a cold look on his face.
It is natural to imagine the nature of a person who is so indifferent even to his own brothers.
It was also from this moment that Hua Lan finally determined what kind of character Mo Lan was, and his attitude and feelings towards her could not help but adjust a little, becoming more vigilant and cautious.
As for the last Ming Lan, because she had always focused her attention on Sheng Changquan, she didn't notice Mo Lan's harsh words.
"Brother, just take care of yourself!"
Minglan was the last one to step forward, but she didn't say anything to put pressure on Sheng Changquan. She just comforted: "Everything must be done with your own body first!"
"You're still young, so there's no need to rush."
Minglan said this in a very low voice. Except for Sheng Changquan, no one else heard her very carefully, so no one refuted, indicating that Minglan was talking nonsense.
"hehe!"
Seeing the concern in Minglan's eyes, Sheng Changquan smiled sincerely.
"Sister, don't worry, I can save it!"
"Um!"
Minglan nodded reluctantly, and finally gave up her position to the eldest son of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong.
"Changquan, you!"
Sheng Hong originally wanted to take up his father's arrogance and say some warning words, but when he thought about the drama that Mrs. Wang made before, he suddenly felt ashamed to say this anymore.
Therefore, in the end, Sheng Hong could only say dryly: "Go!"
That was the complete end of this send-off.
"Then, Chang Quan will leave first!"
Sheng Changquan bowed to the people in front of the house, and then said: "Grandma, father, mother, and sisters, please stay. Changquan is leaving now!"
After saying this, Sheng Changquan got into the carriage driven by Xu Changqing and left.

…
"Gululu!"
"Gululu!"
"..."
Xu Changqing drove the carriage skillfully and headed straight towards the destination.
In fact, logically speaking, the provincial examination should be taken back to the place of origin. However, considering the advantages of Beijing officials, the imperial court also set up a number of examination rooms in the capital to specifically serve the heirs of Beijing officials.
However, don't think that this is preferential treatment. You must know that the closer you are to the center of the imperial court, the more difficult the scientific examination will be.
Generally speaking, if you go back to your hometown, the difficulty of the rural examination may be lower, and the possibility of maneuverability will be greater.
However, this one in Bianliang City is different. It is very difficult and the specifications will be extremely strict.
Of course, its content will be more valuable, and it is specially prepared for those students who are arrogant and confident.
