Chapter 031 A few things about the Sheng family
At the end of Yin time the next day, a hungover Gu Er was awakened by a stone.
Gu Er shook his head. Although the alcohol had receded, his head was still a little dazed. He asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost midnight!" Shitou replied.
Just as Gu Er was about to speak, a whistling sound suddenly came from his ears, and he immediately frowned: "What is that sound?"
Shitou explained: "It's Mr. Wang who is practicing in the courtyard! You were very drunk last night. You held Mr. Wang's hand and insisted on having a long talk with Mr. Wang and refused to go back. Let's go to Mr. Wang.
The family is settled!”
Gu Er struggled to stand up. As soon as he opened the door and walked out of the house, a cold wind blew in his face. Gu Er shivered because of the cold. Snowflakes were floating in the sky. The courtyard was already covered with white.
Two figures, a large one and a small one, were bracing the wind and snow, riding on horseback, practicing spears in the courtyard.
When it comes to guns and sticks, Gu Er can be said to be a good player. He has received the true inheritance from his father, and his eyesight is naturally not bad. Needless to say, Wang Zhong's marksmanship, Gu Er is ashamed of himself, but Wang Qian'er, who is nearly eleven years old
, the big gun in one hand stabs steadily and accurately, and one can tell at a glance that he has real skills, not just some showman's showmanship or fake tricks.
"good!"
Seeing the blossoming gun flowers that Wang Qier shook out, Gu Er subconsciously clapped his hands and applauded.
"Uncle Gu Er!" Wang Qier paused in her stabbing motion and turned around to see Gu Er. A smile immediately appeared on her face. She took the initiative to say hello to Gu Er with her gun clenched.
"Sister Qian is a good marksman!" Gu Er praised loudly.
"Thank you Uncle Gu Er for the compliment!" Sister Qian saluted Gu Er with her fists raised, and she looked at Wang Zhong with her spear on the ground: "Third uncle, did you hear that, uncle Gu Er praised me for my good marksmanship!"
Wang Zhong said: "It does look good, but it doesn't look bad. If you encounter an enemy, anyone who has practiced for a few years can easily defeat your gun!"
Seeing that Wang Zhong didn't answer, Wang Qier kicked the gun's tail with the sole of her leg. She held the gun in her hand and walked to the side to continue practicing.
Hearing this, Gu Er walked to Wang Zhong's side and said, "There's no need to be so harsh. Sister Qian is a woman and she doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Wang Zhong said: "It is difficult for a woman in this world to live. Now I have become the target of public criticism. My future is uncertain, and my sister-in-law is soft-tempered. If she can't stand up again, if one day I am gone, who will support the Wang family?"
Portal!”
Wang Zhong's words are certainly shocking, but they are not the only choice out of desperation!
As Wang Zhong said, life is impermanent, and no one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly, without illness or disaster. What's more, because of the incident in Quanzhou, Wang Zhong has already stood on the forefront of the storm, and secretly there are countless pairs of eyes watching.
With Wang Zhong.
And Wang Zhong is not married yet. He only has a widowed sister-in-law and a young nephew in his family. Moreover, Wang Li has a weak temperament and Wang Xu is too young. If one day, Wang Zhong accidentally gets into an accident, the only person who can support the Wang family is Wang Qian'er.
This girl is like no one else.
When Gu Er heard this, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart. He looked blankly at the girl in the courtyard who was holding a big gun made of ash wood with a barrel and a gun head, staring at the wind and snow, shaking and stabbing with a look on her face.
His expression gradually became serious, and the words Wang Zhong persuaded him last night came to mind.
Looking at the stern and even harsh Wang Zhong, there were some images in his mind that seemed to overlap with the scene in front of him.
"A spear must be in line, which means it must be stable and accurate. The weapon blade is an extension of the hands and feet, not a burden. To be familiar with the spear, you must be familiar with it just like you are familiar with your own arm. Let the gun follow your pace and body shape, and always keep your eyes on it.
Keep your eyes on the front and look at your enemies..."
Listening to Wang Zhong's earnest instruction, Gu Er's thoughts wandered further.
Gu Er remembered that it was snowing as heavily as now, and the entire palace was shrouded in silver. The servants set up ladders and brooms to sweep the snow on the roof and on the road.
The other brothers and sisters were all in the house, enjoying the warm floor cage, holding hand stoves, eating fruits and snacks and chatting. Only the young Gu Er, just like Wang Qier now, was bracing himself against the floating waves in the sky.
Flying wind and snow, practicing marksmanship in the ice and snow.
Next to him stood a tall and burly figure, like a sculpture, standing motionless in the wind and snow, with snowflakes on his head and a thick layer on his shoulders, and his eyebrows and beard were also dyed white by snowflakes.
"You are different from your brothers, the only one you can rely on is yourself!"
This is the sentence that Gu Er remembers the most. In Gu Er's memory, since Gu Er can remember, he has never seen a smiling face or received a compliment from the man called father, even if it was just
one time!
At some point, Gu Er was blinded by the wind and sand, and there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes.
"Sir, Mrs. Li has asked people to prepare hot water!" Shitou interrupted at an inappropriate time.
Shitou's words awakened Gu Er from his memories. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and said, "Go and wash up first, then go to Sheng's house!"
"Ah?" Shitou was stunned.
"Ah what!" Gu Er pretended to scold him.
Shitou had long been used to it and didn't take it seriously: "You're so drunk, why are you going to Sheng's house?"
"How drunk am I? Aren't I feeling good?" Gu Er said and walked aside.
Shitou looked at it and suppressed a smile: "Master, this way!"
Gu Er was stunned, and immediately turned around and scolded: "I didn't tell you earlier!"
Shitou muttered: "You didn't even give me a chance to say it!"
"What are you talking about?" Gu Er turned to look at Shitou, who quickly followed him.
While giving a thumbs up, he defended: "It's nothing, I praise Miss Wang for being good with the gun!"
After bathing and changing clothes, he said hello to Aunt Chang who lived next door, and Gu Er hurriedly took Shitou to Sheng's house.
There was a turmoil on Gu Er's side, and the Sheng family was not at peace either.
Chang Feng was first grounded, and then he was forced to move out of Linqi Pavilion and live next to Chang Bai. He had to study with Chang Bai every day. In addition to going to the book school on weekdays, Sheng Hong even ordered the courtyard to be closed.
He was not allowed to leave, and the scope of activities was limited to his and Changbai's yard. Even the female envoy Lin Sushuang wanted to arrange was rejected by Sheng Hong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chang Feng’s life was miserable, and Lin Sushuang was extremely angry. But these were the words from Sheng Hong himself, and Lin Sushuang was unwilling to accept them.
, I don’t want to, and there is nothing I can do.
But Lin Sushuang was so well-informed that with some money and some tricks, she was able to find out the whole story from Dongrong, Sheng Hong's personal attendant.
Just as Wang Zhong expected, Lin Sushuang had no choice but to vent her anger on Minglan. Lin Sushuang herself was naturally unable to take action against Minglan. Besides, there was still Mother Kong here. Naturally, Mo Lan was not easy to do anything, so she could only use words to tease Minglan.
Just when Mo Lan was looking for Minglan in trouble after class, Ming Chao sarcastically ridiculed Minglan for finding a husband who only knew how to snitch behind his back, and said something like the same thing, Minglan hadn't done anything yet Well, Ru Lan, who had always been at odds with Mo Lan, got angry first.
"What the fourth sister said is so strange. What do you think are the same? Brother Zihou is the future husband that father and grandmother have chosen for the sixth sister. According to the fourth sister, are my grandmother and father also the same as the fourth sister said?"
"The fifth sister is so eloquent. If you didn't know, I would have thought that the one who got engaged to Wang Zihou was not the sixth sister, but the fifth sister!" Mo Lan learned nothing good from Lin Sushuang, so she completely ignored Lin. Fushuang took advantage of the situation to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and learned all the skills of Gonghuo.
"You..." Ru Lan pointed at Mo Lan, furious.
"Fifth sister, now that the national examination is approaching, my father asked the second brother to watch the third brother study. It was for the benefit of the third brother, so that the third brother could be better prepared, but how could I hear the meaning of the fourth sister's words, like Are you not satisfied with your father's decision?" Minglan pulled Minglan and immediately changed the subject.
When Rulan heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She grabbed Minglan's hand and glared at Molan: "More than just dissatisfaction, I think the fourth sister just wants the third brother to move back to Linqi Pavilion and guard the fourth brother." My sister will spend her whole life with their little girl!"
"Fifth sister, you can't say that!" Minglan immediately pulled Ru Lan and said with a serious face: "Third brother is now a civil servant, almost reaching the crown. Fourth sister is so sensible and courteous, how could he want to do this?" Third brother is moving back to Linqi Pavilion!"
Rulan frowned at first and turned to look at Minglan in confusion. But when she saw Minglan blinking at her, she immediately realized: "Then it must be that the fourth sister and Lin Xiaoniang don't want the second brother to stare at the third brother. read!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Mo Lan and said: "Sister Four, if you don't want to, just go to your father and tell him. What's the use of talking to me and Xiaoliu here in a weird way! I will talk to Xiaoliu about family matters. It doesn’t count!”
Ru Lan is usually a bit cute and silly, and even a little domineering, but when it comes to getting along with Mo Lan, Ru Lan, who has suffered countless hardships from Mo Lan, knows how to stand in the right direction without even thinking about it.
Ru Lan looked naive, but she knew in her heart that she alone was definitely not Mo Lan's opponent, but if Ru Lan plus Ming Lan, the effect would definitely be greater than Mo Lan's.
And today's Minglan is not the little transparent person in the original plot who has no one to care for and no one to love, and only one old lady Sheng can rely on.
Not to mention Wei Xiaoniang and Changdong, just Wang Zhong, who is now rising in fame, is enough for the Sheng family to take him seriously.
Moreover, the encounter between Minglan's biological mother and Changdong has already pushed Minglan and Rulan to the same front. Moreover, Minglan's biological mother, Wei Shuyi, is Rulan's mother. Wang Ruofu specially asked Grandma Liu to come and compete with her. Lin Sushuang's.
Although there is some meaning of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred to oneself, to a large extent, it took away Sheng Hong's favor and greatly dampened Lin Sushuang's arrogance. Even after leaving Yangzhou, the housekeeper The power of feeding finally returned to Wang Ruofu's hands.
Now seeing Sheng Hong and Lin Sushuang rekindling their relationship, Wang Ruofu and Wei Shuyi naturally stand on the same front again.
"If the fourth sister doesn't dare to tell her father, why not go and beg the second brother? Although the second brother looks serious, he still loves us sisters in his heart. If the fourth sister goes to beg the second brother, the second brother might agree! "
The smile on Ru Lan's face became brighter and brighter, her little face was raised high, her eyes were almost raised to the sky, and she looked at Mo Lan with a proud expression.
"Sixth sister!" Rulan suddenly took Minglan's hand and said earnestly: "You have to be careful. Whatever the fourth sister likes, she will definitely try her best to get it from her father, like the above The piece of black jade that my uncle sent me was originally given to me by my uncle. I didn’t want my fourth sister to see it, so I ran to my father crying and making trouble, and asked my father to give her my piece of black jade!
Sixth sister, you have to be more discerning, be careful that fourth sister takes a fancy to you and goes to your father to cry again!"
But Mo Lan's fighting power is not just that little. After his face changed from gloomy to clear for a while, he pointed at Ru Lan and said with a cry: "What nonsense are you talking about! Why do I like to steal people's things? Then Mo Yu It was obviously my father who gave it to me after seeing that it matched my name. Why don't my father find another piece of high-quality mutton-fat white jade and give it to you?"
"Yo yo yo! I still wronged you!" Ru Lan put her hands on her hips with a domineering look on her face.
Mo Lan saw that he could not defeat Ru Lan and Ming Lan alone. He opened his mouth and the golden beans in his eyes suddenly fell out. He pointed at Ru Lan and Ming Lan with grievance and said: "Just bully them." I am a concubine!"
Then he lay down on the desk and started crying.
Minglan said: "What the fourth sister said, my father, mother and grandmother have always treated us sisters equally well. There has never been a distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines in the family. I hope the fourth sister will be careful with what she says and don't get carried away. , say anything to others."
"Well, you Xiaoliu, you dare to teach me a lesson because your father has found you a young and promising husband, right?" Mo Lan is only a fourteen-year-old child after all. Although he is smart, he has a weak mind. Not yet fully mature, she was a little annoyed by Ru Lan and Ming Lan's repeated insults, and she couldn't speak without thinking.
"Fourth sister, be careful what you say!" Minglan's face changed slightly, and her voice became a little solemn.
"What are you saying? Am I wrong?" Mo Lan said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Although Wang Zhong is doing well in his official career, he might offend someone and be demoted one day... ····”
"Bastard!" Before Mo Lan could finish her words, a sharp shout came from the door!
I saw Grandma Kong walking into the house with a gloomy face, surrounded by several female servants.
Not long after, Mrs. Sheng Hong, the old lady and Lin Sushuang were all invited over by Grandma Kong.
Aunt Kong was fair and well-founded in her dealings, and in the end, each of them naturally made thirty mistakes. In front of Aunt Kong, even if Mo Lan and Lin Sushuang were goblins with seventy-two transformations, they would still have to stand in front of Aunt Kong. The original shape appeared in Grandma's alchemy furnace.
Although Sheng Hong was partial to Mo Lan and disliked Ru Lan's arrogant and domineering temperament, saying that she could answer three sentences with two sentences, he still loved the well-behaved and sensible Ming Lan, and now he was Grandma Kong. When it comes to disciplining the three girls of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong would naturally not be able to take sides in front of an outsider like Mother Kong.
As time went by, the three orchids of the Sheng family, under the guidance of Grandma Kong, became more and more well-behaved, and their demeanor became more demure and gentle, and they looked a bit like ladies.
In the late twelfth lunar month, Wang Zhong came to Sheng's house to say goodbye.
"Didn't you say you can leave after the new year?" In the Shou'an Hall, the old lady asked Wang Zhong with some doubts.
Wang Zhongdao: "The original plan was to leave after the year, but now there are more and more memorials to impeach me in the DPRK, and there is not much left in the four-month period. Rather than being caught by others and continuing to impeach me, it would be better Leave early!”
"That's true!" Mrs. Sheng nodded.
"One more thing, Sister Qian is getting older now, and Brother Xu has begun to enlighten. I don't know when I will come back, so I want to take them with me and teach them personally!"
"Have you decided when to leave?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked, and Minglan next to her also looked at Wang Zhong curiously.
Wang Zhong said: "Everything has been packed and we will leave tomorrow."
"So anxious?" the old lady asked.
Wang Zhongdao: "The road is difficult to travel in winter, and I have Brother Xu with me. I don't know how much time I will be delayed on the road. It's better to leave early!"
If you leave at this time, you will definitely have to spend New Year's Eve on the road. However, considering the current situation between the DPRK and China, the old lady also feels that leaving Beijing as soon as possible is a good choice.
"Zhong Huai is helping to look after Tianshui Lane. I came here to ask you to help look after the small village outside the city!"
Mrs. Sheng and Minglan had been to the small village outside Wangzhong City many times with Chang Bai in the past, and they were quite familiar with it.
She just takes care of the village. Now Mrs. Sheng is taking care of so many properties of the Wang family. If there is another village, Mrs. Sheng will naturally not refuse.
Wang Zhongdao: "One more thing, the world has not been very peaceful in the past two years. I heard from my friends in the Cao Gang that there are many water thieves on the waterways. They are entrenched on the main roads from south to north and specialize in robbing passing ships. Less things to do.
If the old lady wants to go back to Youyang or Yangzhou, she can first send someone to Tianshui Lane to inform Brother Erxi, I have already told him, and Brother Erxi will organize manpower to escort her all the way!"
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she frowned and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "Don't the local officials send people to encircle and suppress them?"
"These water thieves are entrenched on the water, and their nests are hidden. Some even have no nests at all. They live with the water. During the day, they pretend to be laborers at the dock to gather information. At night, they transform into water thieves, plundering targets that have been spotted in advance, and the government suppresses them.
There was a group, and soon they resurfaced, and a new group appeared, and they couldn't be wiped out!" At the end of the sentence, Wang Zhong shook his head helplessly and sighed.
In the original plot, Mrs. Sheng took Minglan south and returned to Youyang in the past two years.
Gu Er left Tokyo and rescued Zhao Zongquan and his son who were being hunted by rebels, not long after the meeting.
At that time, the rebels had already claimed to be Emperor Zhaode, which showed how arrogant they were.
As soon as Mrs. Sheng and Minglan arrived in Youyang, the rebels raised the banner of rebellion and officially killed officials and rebelled.
