I have a role in the heavens

Sheng Hong looked at his wife who had a sigh after hearing this. Seeing Wang Ruofu's serious face, he couldn't help but nod. He also felt that this was a good thing. Having Li Zhan as a role model in front of him could indeed inspire his son's fighting spirit and motivate him. Work hard and study hard.

Sheng Hong also said with emotion.

"I remember, I will write two words later and hang one in Brother Bai's and Brother Feng's rooms. They have reached the age where they should work hard!"

Today's Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng are only eight or nine years old, but in the Song Dynasty, such older children were already sensible and had begun to study for enlightenment. Sheng Changbai started enlightenment at the age of four, and now he has begun to study Confucianism. It's a classic, and I'm already half an adult.

Wang Ruofu was very happy at first, but when she heard that Sheng Changfeng also had a share, her brows immediately raised. She didn't like anyone in Lin Qige. How could that little bitch Lin Sushuang teach a good person? Sheng Changfeng At a young age, he started hanging out with the maids in the room. Every time he was in a formal position, he knew how to have fun all day long.

Sheng Hong naturally saw Wang Ruofu's reaction, but he couldn't say anything in front of his mother. After all, Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were both his sons. Although they were different, he had higher expectations for Sheng Changbai. But I like Sheng Changfeng more, and there is naturally Lin Sushuang's influence in this.

Mrs. Sheng also saw the two people's reactions, but she couldn't say much. After all, there was nothing wrong with Sheng Hong's actions. After all, although she didn't like Lin Sushuang, she had repeatedly persuaded Sheng Hong to pay attention. Be careful not to favor Lin Sushuang too much, but treat Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Changbai equally. After all, they are both her grandsons, and a bowl of water must be balanced.

Sheng Hong knew his mother's plan and did not leave immediately. After all, his main purpose of coming this time was to congratulate Li Zhan. He discussed with Mrs. Sheng how to celebrate the good news of Li Zhan's high school graduation tonight and how to arrange the banquet. wait.

Although Mrs. Sheng was happy, she also knew that going too far was not enough, and she did not want to make a big deal out of fear of making people jealous, so she rejected Sheng Hong's idea of ​​having a banquet for guests, but decided to celebrate as a family behind closed doors. , Don't let external affairs affect Li Zhan's mind and delay his scientific examination next year.

Sheng Hong also nodded in agreement. He also believed that the real day of celebration would only come after the provincial examination was settled. After all, although Jieyuan had a great reputation, he was not yet a Jinshi and could not be considered an official.

After the discussion, these matters needed to be handled by Wang Ruofu, the head of the family, so Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong looked at Wang Ruofu who was a little lost and gave instructions.

"You are the mistress of the Sheng Mansion. You still need to worry more about tonight's banquet. Go ahead and prepare the ingredients. Your officials and I still have something to say!"

Wang Ruofu bowed to his mother-in-law, nodded and left. He returned to the kitchen and ordered people to buy ingredients and prepare for tonight's family banquet.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Hong, who was frowning and dissatisfied. She knew that he disliked Wang Ruofu for being vulgar and that Lin Sushuang was not as good at flattering him, so she tried to persuade him.

"I know you are dissatisfied with me for marrying her for you, but as the old saying goes, marry a virtuous wife and take concubines for sex. Although she has a vulgar temperament, she is good-hearted and outspoken. Her natal family is also prominent, and she is interested in your career. It’s extremely beneficial, as you have relied on the Yue family’s influence in your career over the years!”

After listening to his mother's words, Sheng Hong thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing with Mrs. Sheng's statement. Although he has not been on a meteoric rise in recent years, his official career has been smooth sailing, climbing up step by step, and he has served as the fourth officer in Yangzhou. In the year, he can find a way to be transferred back to Bianjing, put on that red robe, and become a fifth-rank official, which can be regarded as stepping into the middle level of the Song Dynasty.

Mrs. Sheng saw that Sheng Hong knew what she was doing, so she didn't say anything more. She was silent for a while. She and Sheng Hong were not biological mother and son. She originally had something to say, to advise Sheng Hong not to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, but she thought of herself. She had said this many times, but Sheng Hong only responded on the surface, but she still didn't take it to heart when she went back, and it was still the same, so she didn't waste her words to be annoying.

Old Mrs. Sheng was just sitting there bored, and then thought about Li Zhan's marriage mentioned by Sheng Hong, and unknowingly she thought a little more. She suddenly felt that she had an idea that might be feasible, but it was difficult to speak directly, so she hesitated again and again before speaking. Stop again.

Sheng Hong didn't notice the strangeness of Mrs. Sheng at first, and was only thinking about his own things. When he came back to his senses, he saw the embarrassment on Mrs. Sheng's face and took the initiative to ask.

"Mom has something to give you, so there's no harm in speaking up!"

Seeing the sincerity on Sheng Hong's face, Mrs. Sheng remembered that the relationship between mother and son for many years was considered harmonious, so she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and spoke with difficulty.

"Actually, I've thought about Zhan'er's marriage that you just mentioned, and I have an idea. I think it's feasible. I just don't know what you think?"

Sheng Hong's expression changed, and he was puzzled. Didn't his mother just reject his proposal? Why did he regret it again? A trace of joy appeared on his face and he asked quickly.

"Has mother agreed to this marriage again? You can just say so. Of course, my son will not object!"

Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Hong with a happy face, felt a little relieved, cheered up, and then spoke.

"I remember that Hua Lan is already fourteen years old now. In two years, she will be planning to get married and find a good family!"

In this era, both men and women get married at an early age, and a large number of them get married at fifteen or sixteen, so Mrs. Sheng's words are not wrong. Hualan is almost at the age to discuss marriage.

Sheng Hong's expression changed upon hearing this, and he looked at Old Mrs. Sheng hesitantly for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Mother, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Sheng Hong had understood what she meant, Mrs. Sheng no longer hesitated and answered firmly.

"Don't you want to get married to Zhan'er? Hua Lan is of the right age. If Shu Lan is replaced by Hua Lan, I think this marriage is feasible!"

"In this way, Zhan'er has become your son-in-law, and naturally you are closer to him. Moreover, you also know Zhan'er well. He has a gentle temperament and is well-educated. Hua Lan doesn't have to make rules or suffer wrongs when he marries her. Zhan'er and Hua Lan also grew up together and have a deep love for each other. They are definitely a happy marriage!"

Sheng Hong gradually became moved as he listened to his aunt's analysis, but when he thought of the people he had inquired about for Hua Lan before, he was a little undecided, so he made his uncertainty clear to Mrs. Sheng.

"Mother, I asked Hualan to inquire about the eldest son of the Yuan family in Earl Zhongqin's mansion before. Their family has a prominent family background, and because they were in the wrong team at the beginning, they are not valued by the current officials. Their children are also more popular, and they don't know how to do it. It is also a good marriage to step into the process of seizing the rightful son!"
