Chapter 63 Qingzhou and Pennsylvania(2/2)
In fact, in general matters, Mo Lan is more disciplined than Lan. Mo Lan knows how to exercise restraint and can hide his performance much better than Lan.
If she could marry into a high-ranking family and meet a mother-in-law with a higher status than herself, Mo Lan would probably be better behaved than anyone else.
But after all, the Wen family only came from a poor peasant family. The Wen family's mother-in-law was originally just a rural woman. Her son became a Jinshi, and then she became a daughter of an official family.
Sheng Changbai thought it was impossible for such a rural woman to make Mo Lan obey her.
"Why did mother mention this again? You shouldn't say such things."
"I made a mistake."
Because Sheng Hong is a concubine, such offensive words about a concubine are still not allowed in the Sheng family.
Wang Ruofu was really angry, so he couldn't control his mouth. Probably during this period, Sheng Hong was really annoyed.
After a few more days like this, it was the day when Ru Lan got married.
There is actually no difference between the marriage process of Ru Lan and Mo Lan.
Both of them married new scholars, so the man's status can be said to be equal.
Compared with Jinshi status, there is not much difference between the two families whether they were originally wealthy businessmen or farmers.
Sheng Hong didn't value his legitimate concubine in the first place, and it was Mo Lan who he preferred more. It was impossible for the Sheng family to treat the two sons-in-law any differently.
The same banquet was held, the same guests were invited, and Ru Lan was married off in the same way.
Even Mo Lan's dowry, which was quite large, was not prepared by Sheng Hong. It was all put in a box and cage and could not be seen from the outside.
After going through the same process again, Rulan got married.
After marrying off these two troublemakers, Sheng Changbai felt that the pressure was much less.
After all, when a daughter gets married, she becomes a member of another family. If the two of them cause trouble, it will be the husband's family that loses face, and the Sheng family will only be affected by a small part of it.
Even if two people committed any crime, according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the Sheng family would not be implicated.
After three days of returning home, Ru Lan also wanted to have a Guining banquet this time, and the Sheng family gathered a lot of people this time.
Hua Lan was there with Yuan Wenshao and their son and daughter, and Mo Lan was there with Wen Yanjing.
It was the most crowded gathering ever. After there were more people, the gathering was quite lively and the atmosphere was good.
Just after listening to Ru Lan's brief words, I knew that Ru Lan's situation was still better than Mo Lan's.
Of course there are necessary procedures such as website rules, but Mrs. Li is not so harsh on Ru Lan.
Compared to the Wen family, the Li family is a businessman. They have traveled extensively and seen a lot, gaining a lot more knowledge.
She would not be blindly confident like Wen's mother-in-law, thinking that if her son won the Jinshi, he would be no weaker than anyone else, and that he could become a high-ranking official in the future, or become an executive, and would not give the Sheng family any face at all.
The Li family became more awake and understood that even if Li Yu won the Jinshi, it did not mean that the Li family would be equal to the Sheng family.
I understand that for Li Yu's official career to go smoothly, the support of the Sheng family is indispensable.
Still trying to treat Ru Lan as kindly as possible, although there are still rules for Ru Lan to follow.
But Ru Lan only served three meals a day and stood up to serve dishes to several cloths. Relatively speaking, she was much easier to accept.
But after finishing the meal, Ru Lan still had some problems.
"Second brother, I also want to stay in the capital." Originally, mother and daughter were chatting again. Seeing Sheng Changbai come in, Ru Lan asked Sheng Changbai for help.
"What do you want to do in the capital? Do you want to learn from the man in Linqige? Your husband goes to another place to serve as an official. Why don't you follow your husband's appointment and stay in the capital to guard an empty house?"
Before Sheng Changbai could answer, Wang Ruofu quickly said that it seemed that the mother and daughter had some communication about this matter before Sheng Changbai came in.
"Fifth sister, since your brother-in-law is going to take up a new post, of course you have to follow him. Your most important thing now is to provide money for the Li family. If you don't go with your brother-in-law, it's because you want to make more money.
Are a group of concubines and concubines coming out?" Hua Lan followed Wang Ruofu and said.
Hualan has been troubled by the issue of giving birth to a son for a long time. Now, Hualan takes the issue of heirs more seriously than most people.
"Brother Yu is going to Qingzhou to do some recording and join the army. It's on Jingdong Road. It's not a remote and cold place. Why don't you go?" Wang Ruofu asked.
The positions of Wen Yanjing and Li Yu have actually been divided.
Thinking that Ru Lan would not be able to endure the hardships of a poor land, Sheng Changbai still exercised a little while Li Yu went to Qingzhou.
According to Wen Yanjing, Sheng Changbai did not interfere and was transferred to Binzhou on Guangnan Road to join the army as a manager.
Both of them are ninth-rank officials. According to their imperial examination rankings, this is a normal arrangement.
Sheng Changbai arranged activities for Li Yu, which meant that he arranged them in Shandong where the environment was not bad.
Wen Yanjing was assigned to the remote Guangdong and Guangdong provinces as part of the normal arrangement for a new Jinshi.
This was the result of Sheng Hong's greetings, and he tried to allocate people to peaceful and prosperous places in remote areas.
With this relationship, it's not that Sheng Hong's connections are not as good as Sheng Changbai's, it's just that his level of dedication is different.
Guangdong and Guangxi in the Zhou Dynasty had not yet undergone large-scale development, and were generally still barbaric places used for distribution and demotion.
Guangdong and Guangxi in the Great Zhou Dynasty were sparsely populated, had no four seasons, were hot all year round, and had many snakes and insects.
Moreover, the mountains and forests are full of miasma, making it easy for outsiders to contract malaria.
In this era, malaria is considered an incurable disease without specific medicines, so you can only fight it hard. After being infected, you will never survive.
