"I knew it!"
After getting the news, Ru Lan immediately ran to her mother, Mrs. Wang, supported her, and said happily: "I knew that the seventh brother would definitely win!"
"Moreover, the seventh brother has now become the winner of Xie Yuan!"
"Even stronger than my second brother back then!"
"Well?"
Mrs. Wang's expression paused, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Why did she think this sounded so... unpleasant!
but!
That’s it!
After she glanced at her daughter, she finally endured it.
no way! This is my own.
After all, she is her own daughter, so there is really nothing she can do!
Moreover, to be honest, among everyone present, there was someone who was more unhappy than her.
Of course, I'm not talking about Hai Chaoyun. After all, people know that Ru Lan just said it unintentionally and didn't mean it. What's more, she has her own heart, so she won't look strange.
"Ahem...yes, the seventh brother is really powerful."
Sure enough, before Mrs. Wang could look back, Mo Lan in the room started to say something with a smile.
"snort!"
"really!"
Seeing the strange look on Mo Lan's face, Mrs. Wang felt proud: "That bitch is not here, otherwise, her face must be very beautiful now!"
Mo Lan looked a little unwilling, but it didn't seem like she was unhappy.
After all, she and Sheng Changquan were still siblings connected by blood, and both were members of the Sheng family. Therefore, even though Mo Lan was a little unhappy that Sheng Changquan had done so well in the exam, she was still happy in the end.
Happy for the entire Sheng family.
After all, if Sheng Changquan becomes successful, her family status will also become higher.
"Haha, we are all a family, no matter how great or not we are."
Seeing the embarrassing situation, Mrs. Sheng knocked the crutch in her hand and scolded Rulan: "Rulan, you little girl, what are you talking about?"
"Brother Bai, what's wrong?"
After glancing at Hai Chaoyun who looked calm not far away, Mrs. Sheng nodded secretly.
——This wife is the right choice.
"Brother Bai's editorial position is one of the most prestigious. Even if you, me, see it, I will be jealous of it. Isn't it like what you, a girl who doesn't understand the world, said?"
"Yeah!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang quickly nodded: "That's what mother said!"
"This girl Ru Lan is just ignorant!"
Patting her silly daughter, Mrs. Wang said unconvincedly: "If my brother Bai failed, then wouldn't some people who failed the exam several times...become even worse?"
After saying that, Madam Wang glanced at Mo Lan who was opposite her with a "very profound" look, and she also had a fake smile on her face.
"you……"
Mo Lan's expression changed and she was speechless!
Mo Lan was angry but had nothing to say. She could only hold the handkerchief tightly in her sleeves and twist it beyond recognition.
No way, Mrs. Wang is Mo Lan's elder. When Sheng Hong is not around and Mrs. Sheng is present, Mo Lan, as a junior, naturally cannot talk back.
Secondly, what Mrs. Wang said is true.
Compared with the two brothers, Sheng Changfeng seems... seems... maybe a little worse...
"alright!"
When Ru Lan, whose expression was surging and seemed to be admiring, was ready to move, Old Mrs. Sheng waved her hand and interrupted before she could open her mouth: "The time is not short, I'm tired, old lady, you guys just Let’s go back first.”
"Well……"
Ru Lan, who wanted to show off but couldn't, immediately choked!
Looking gloomy.
"Yes, Grandma!"
Hai Chaoyun naturally didn't want a quarrel at home. She wished her sister-in-law couldn't speak, so she quickly answered: "Mother, let's let grandma have a good rest."
"Furthermore, should we send someone to inform the father-in-law and the officials about this news, so that they can feel relieved." "Ah? That's right!"
|The news needs to be told to them! "
Only then did Mrs. Wang react and remember Sheng Hong's instructions: "The official and Brother Bai are still in the Yamen, waiting for news from the government!"
"Let's go quickly!"
…
Not to mention the demeanor of several people when they left, after everyone left, only Fang's mother and Minglan's grandparents were left in the room.
In front of Fang's mother, Minglan didn't need to pretend. She walked happily to the old lady and stood next to her, her expression full of joy.
"grandmother!"
Minglan called out innocently, with a happy smile on her lips.
"hehe!"
Mrs. Sheng stroked her granddaughter's hair lovingly and said softly: "What? Are you happy and satisfied now?"
"ah?"
Hearing this, Minglan opened her mouth slightly, not understanding the meaning of Mrs. Sheng's words for a while.
"Tomorrow, I'm afraid the days ahead for you siblings will be a little uneasy!"
Old Mrs. Sheng narrowed her eyes and her expression became serious: "Brother Quan, I'm looking at this kid, I'm afraid he's still far away!"
"grandmother……"
Minglan somewhat understood the meaning of Mrs. Sheng's words, but she was still a little confused.
Shouldn't this be a good thing?
Why did the old lady react like...not optimistic?
"well!"
The old lady sighed, looked at her confused little granddaughter in front of her, and couldn't help but explain in a low voice.
"Silly girl, what do you know!"
"Originally, I thought it would be great if Brother Quan could win the exam."
"Even if my ranking is a little lower, but with my connections in the Sheng family, I can still be a minor official and have no worries for the rest of my life."
"In this way, I can take care of your sister from now on."
"But!"
"Who knew he would actually get the first place!"
Old Mrs. Sheng smiled bitterly: "Old lady, I am not a scholar after all, and I can't understand some things!"
Thinking of Zhuang Xuexue's love for Sheng Changquan, Mrs. Sheng admitted that she had made a mistake.
"I know that Brother Quan is a smart kid, but after all, I still think that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. The things in the imperial examination are not just those who have good writing skills."
"But who knows?"
She could only lament the impermanence of the world again, and Mrs. Sheng continued: "Ming'er, the Sheng family is not a noble family, so you don't understand some things."
"Jie Yuan, the provincial examiner in Bianliang City, is highly regarded by those noble families. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn't have..."
At this point, Mrs. Sheng stopped talking and didn't want to say more.
"Anyway, Ming'er, you have to know that Brother Quan's life will never be peaceful again in the future!"
"grandmother!"
After listening to what Mrs. Sheng said, Minglan finally understood Mrs. Sheng's worries and knew that she was thinking about herself.
but.
"grandmother!"
Minglan called out again and said, "My granddaughter knows that you are thinking about me, but Xiaoqi has his own way of living. How can you delay him just because I am your sister?"
"What's more, I will eventually get married, and future events will not involve me."
Minglan said this deliberately to appease the old lady.
Mrs. Sheng also understood this, but she didn't point it out. She just touched her little granddaughter lovingly.
"correct!"
Minglan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she could only change the question: "Where has this guy Xiao Qi gone? Chang Qing has come back, why is there no news about him outside?"
"Could it be that you drank too much?"
Minglan didn't expect that although poor Sheng Changquan didn't drink too much, he was almost drunk. Remember the URL of this site for easy reading next time, or enter " " in Baidu to enter this site
