The man looked to be in his twenties, had been crowned, was dressed in brocade clothes, and had beautiful jade hanging around his waist. He was arrogant, and his eyes almost reached his head. He looked like a arrogant person.

The woman was wearing a peach red dress, lightly painted with powder, and her hair was dotted with a few hairpins. From her eyebrows and eyes, you could vaguely see Sheng Wei's appearance, but her face was somewhat similar to Li's, with an oval face, delicate features, and beautiful eyes.

She looked very beautiful, and she was holding a pink handkerchief in her hand. It was hard to see what was embroidered on it.

"Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law!" Changsong and others walked to the carriage and greeted the man and woman with their hands in hand.

The man and woman were none other than Shulan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and her husband Sun Xiucai.

"Big sister!" Changbai also said hello. When he was in Yangzhou, Changbai often returned to Youyang. However, after going to Tokyo, the journey was long, and Changbai had to be busy studying and preparing for the scientific examination, so he didn't return to Youyang.

Already.

"Brother Bai!" Shulan saluted Changbai and then introduced the man: "This is the eldest son of my second uncle. He is younger than the second brother and older than the third brother!"

"Brother Bai, haven't you seen him yet? This is my husband, his surname is Sun!" Shulan introduced to everyone.

"Brother-in-law!" Changbai bowed his hands and greeted Sun Xiucai.

"Yeah!" Sun Xiucai, with his nostrils turned upwards and his arrogant look, only responded with a hum.

When the Changsong brothers and sisters saw this situation, their expressions were not very good.

Pinlan stepped forward and held Shulan's hand, and said happily: "Sister, you must have never seen her before. This is the sixth sister of the second uncle's family. That is the future husband of the sixth sister, our future brother-in-law!"

"

Minglan saluted Shulan and said, "I have met my eldest sister. When I was at home, I often heard from my father that the eldest sister of my eldest uncle's family, Shuwen, is very fond of me. Unfortunately, I have never seen her. Today I finally met her."

This fulfills my sister’s wish.”

Naturally, everyone likes to hear beautiful words.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhong, whose name is Zihou, has seen a big girl before!" Wang Zhong bowed his hands and bowed.

"It turns out it's the sixth sister and the sixth brother-in-law. Shulan is being polite!" Shulan's salute was naturally directed at Wang Zhong. Minglan is the younger sister. How can an older sister still salute her younger sister when she sees him?

"Eldest sister, our sixth brother-in-law is amazing!" When Pinlan said this, her eyes involuntarily glanced at the face of her brother-in-law Sun Xiucai next to her, and deliberately said loudly: "He is from Huainan East Road in the third year of Jiayou's reign.

Jie Yuan, during the palace examination in the fourth year of Jiayou, was selected as the number one scholar by the current officials! Moreover, he was only eighteen years old when he became the number one scholar!"

Shulan glanced at Pinlan helplessly. She had naturally known about Minglan's engagement for a long time. Now that Pinlan said this in front of her husband, how could Shulan not know what she meant, but it was difficult to expose it?

, that will make your husband lose face even more.

Dang Ji agreed: "It's really amazing!"

"It's just a lucky break!" Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said.

Sun Zhigao, who was next to him, had long lost the arrogance he had just now. He stared at Wang Zhong in stunned silence, his mind completely blank.

"The Number One Scholar?"

"Where are you going?" Shulan was afraid that Pinlan would get entangled, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Grandma and great-uncle are talking in the back garden. They are afraid that we are too bored and won't let us follow. Let's take brother Changbai, sister Minglan and our future brother-in-law out for a walk and have a look around!"

Lan Yu explained quickly.

"It's been a long time since I returned to Youyang. I really should have a good time shopping!" Shulan said: "Then I won't disturb you. I'll go and pay my respects to my grandmother and great-uncle first!"

If her husband Sun Zhigao was not around, Shulan would naturally be happy to stay with her brothers and sisters for a while. However, Sun Zhigao had a bad temper, an arrogant temper, and an upturned nostril.

Not a good look.

Shulan didn't want to bring Sun Zhigao back this time. However, when Sun Zhigao heard that someone from the second room of the Sheng family was coming, he volunteered to come with him. Shulan was not stupid, how could she not guess Sun Zhigao's intention?

, simply because she knew that the second wife of the Sheng family was an official in Tokyo and wanted to have a relationship. However, they were husband and wife after all, and their relationship was relatively harmonious, so Shulan naturally couldn't refuse.

Sun Zhigao, who had been arrogant just now and then dumbfounded, was now livid, with his head lowered, standing there refusing to move, his expression gloomy and uncertain.

Wang Zhong and others wanted to talk to persuade them to stay, but they couldn't let go, so they could only vent their anger on Shulan.

"Officer, let's go in quickly!" Shulan couldn't help but remind her when she saw that Sun Zhigao hadn't moved.

"Did you already know that Wang Zhong was the number one scholar?" Sun Zhigao still didn't move and asked Shulan with a cold face.

Shulan's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't dare to deceive Sun Zhigao: "I heard my father mention it before, but I've never seen it before. When my mother sent someone over this time, she only said that my great-uncles and cousins ​​were here.

There was no mention of Wang Zihou."

Sun Zhigao rolled his sleeves and snorted: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Shulan's face was full of helplessness and grievance. The personal maid next to her was about to argue for Shulan, but she was stopped by Shulan.

Sun Zhigao did not wait for Shulan and strode into Sheng's house. The concierge had already seen the majesty of this eldest uncle and there was no way he dared to stop him.

"Sister Pinlan, this eldest brother-in-law is quite impressive!" Wang Zhong and Chang Bai didn't say anything. Minglan is a child, so she naturally has less worries.

"What kind of magnanimity!" Pinlan said with a look of disgust: "He is just a scholar. Although he was selected as a scholar at the age of twelve, he has not even passed the examination for so many years. He still looks arrogant all day long with his nostrils in the sky.

, no one looks down on me! Every time I come home, I treat..."

Before Pinlan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Changsong coughing twice: "Pinlan!"

Wang Jian nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit arrogant!"

Changbai's eyes flickered, he looked back and said nothing.

"More than just arrogance!" Pinlan became angrier as she thought about it, unable to keep her mouth shut: "This guy is simply so arrogant that he talks so wildly about what will happen after he reaches high school, and what about his old lady?

, when he meets people, he always says how great his son is, he is the Prime Minister Genmiao..."

"Pinlan!" Changsong said with a straight face and a bit of seriousness in his tone: "How can you talk about others behind their backs?"

Pinlan gave up and did not continue, but her pretty and bright face was full of anger.

However, those present were all descendants of the Sheng family. Wang Zhong was also Minglan's future husband-in-law. The future son-in-law of the Sheng family had already been engaged, so he was considered half of the Sheng family. Changsong had no intention of hiding anything from these people.

He sighed and explained in detail.

Shulan is eighteen years old this year. She married Sun Zhigao the year before last. The marriage was decided long ago.

The Sun family was from a farming family, and they had more than ten acres of land, which was leased to the Sun clan for farming. They only kept some of it, and with the money Sun's mother earned from washing and sewing, she barely provided for Sun Zhigao.

When he was twelve years old, he was selected as a scholar. When Sheng Wei found out about such a talented person, he began to think about getting married. People asked him about it, and they said that Sun Zhigao studied hard and was extremely talented.

Years, raising an only son, the character must be good.

When Shulan just got married, Sun Zhigao behaved quite well, and his mother-in-law was also very considerate and took good care of Shulan. The Sheng family was also very satisfied with the marriage.

Unexpectedly, as time went by, Sun Zhigao gradually changed. He spent all day hanging around the Qinlou and Chu Pavilions, eating wine, sleeping with prostitutes, and reciting poems with a bunch of so-called literati. He lived a very carefree life. Shulan always persuaded him to study hard.

, Concentrating on preparing for the exam, Sun Zhigao would say a few perfunctory words at first, but as time went by, going to the banquet turned into scolding.

More than a year later, Shulan's stomach had not moved, and her grandma's attitude also changed. She began to boss around and make things difficult for Shulan. The mother and son lived in the Sheng family's house and spent the Sheng family's money, but in turn criticized her harshly.

The daughter of the Sheng family.

Even the Sheng family was regarded as their own home by Sun Zhigao, mother and son. They could come and leave whenever they wanted. They were bossy to Sheng Wei and Li. Even in front of the eldest lady,

I don’t know how to restrain myself.

Wang Zhongdao: "If Sun Zhigao behaves like this, will Miss Shulan be delayed by him for the rest of her life?"

"Hey!" Changsong sighed and said helplessly: "Who said that the eldest sister didn't give birth to an heir for the Sun family and continue the incense?"

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring. This alone blocked Shulan's retreat.

Chang Wu also had a look of helplessness, while Pinlan was the only one who gritted his teeth, as if he was going to eat the Sun mother and son alive.

"How did Sister Shulan end up with such a husband?" Minglan also said with great regret.

Changbai's face was also not very pretty.

Pinlan snorted and said angrily: "What can I do? We were all deceived by that guy in the first place! He kept talking about the prime minister's roots and a bright future, and how he would do it when he gets to high school, but...

I have taken the exam several times and failed every time."

Chang Wu also said with an unkind expression: "He didn't go to Jinling to take the exam. He was obviously looking for an excuse to go to Mianhuasuliu. This time it was even more outrageous. Before he went, he asked the eldest sister for hundreds of taels of silver. Not to mention, after arriving in Jinling,

I lived directly on a flower boat on the Qinhuai River, drank and slept with prostitutes, and spent all my money in my pocket!"

"If it weren't for the eldest sister's good housekeeping and the support from the family, the eldest sister's dowry would have been ruined by him sooner or later!" Changsong was also helpless.

The topic ended abruptly here.

However, after such a period of twists and turns, everyone no longer felt like wandering around, so they walked around and returned to Sheng's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he ran into Sun Zhigao again, but this time Sun Zhigao was alone, but Shulan and Shulan's female envoy were missing.

"Brother-in-law!"

Although they don't like it, now outside the Sheng family's house, the Changsong and Changwu brothers and sisters still have to take etiquette into consideration. They can only suppress their dissatisfaction and bow their hands to Sun Zhigao to say hello.

But Sun Zhigao glanced at everyone, snorted heavily, waved his sleeves and walked away quickly without even saying hello.

This moment made Pinlan so angry that she almost lost her temper. She chased after Sun Zhigao and kicked him, and called several powerful servants to beat Sun Zhigao hard.

But the next moment, Pinlan's face showed a smile again: "No need to guess, this guy must have suffered a lot at his great-aunt's place."

"Why my grandmother?" Minglan asked curiously.

"When this guy comes to my house, he always looks arrogant and bossy. He doesn't look down on his father, mother, and grandmother. How could he be embarrassed? The only person who can make this hateful guy embarrassed in the family now is his great-uncle.
To be continued...
