Chapter 638: The future mother-in-law is just a little too enthusiastic and cant stand it anymore.
"Dad, these maids are from Fourth Sister's courtyard, so naturally they all talk to her." Seeing that Zha Daddy was trying to calm things down, he was about to raise his hand to let Mo Lan go, but Ru Lan was unwilling to do so and pointed at Mo Lan's maids. He said, "If several of them are asked at the same time, they can collude in confession. No matter what you ask, nothing will come out!"
"Dad, it's my daughter's fault! She shouldn't have gone to a secluded place today, otherwise she might have caused trouble and made her dad angry and worried." Mo Lan looked at her dad with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "It's all because of my daughter's unfilial piety, please. Daddy will punish you!" After saying that, 'Bengbengbeng' kowtowed three times.
Three heavy kowtows made Sheng Hong feel a little distressed. Among the three daughters, he always loved Xiaosi the most, so he immediately made a decision, "Mo'er, although what happened today was not your intention, spreading it will also harm the Sheng family. Reputation. I punish you by copying the 'Women's Rules' and 'Women's Precepts' a hundred times each, and you will be banned for a month. Are you convinced?"
Ru Lan couldn't help but jump, her father was too partial!
Mo Lan did something so disgraceful to the family tradition, so he was punished with a punishment the size of a fingernail.
Just as she was about to shout about injustice, she was suddenly glanced at by Sheng Hong's majestic and cold eyes. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang quickly grabbed her little daughter and motioned her to shut up and stop talking.
Ru Lan hid behind her mother, scolding her scumbag father for being partial, and Mo Lan being shameless and shameless...
Lin Xige
"Mo'er, please tell me how your chat with the Third Young Master went today?" After returning to her yard, Lin Xiaoniang pulled her daughter and asked eagerly.
Mo Lan said angrily, "I just met the Third Young Master today, and before we even chatted for a few words, this stinky girl Ru Lan threw a stone at me. It almost hit my forehead. Fortunately, the Third Young Master blocked it with a fan. I was afraid Ru Lan called someone and immediately separated from the Third Young Master..."
Sheng Changfeng, who was eating a banana out of boredom, was extremely surprised when he heard the conversation between his mother and his sister, "My sister and that boy Xu Kunxuan have known each other for a long time? Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Mo Lan glanced at her brother and said with a look of disgust, "You and the Third Young Master are not familiar with each other. I won't be able to help you much if I tell you."
Sheng Changfeng said angrily, "You didn't even mention it, how do you know I can't help?"
Lin Xiaoniang saw that a pair of children were about to choke again, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Stop arguing! I heard that Duke Han and King Yong were close, and you were working with Duke Qin. I was afraid that it would be difficult for you, so I asked Mo'er Don’t tell you.”
Sheng Changfeng swallowed half of the banana and threw down the banana peel in his hand, "Auntie, who did you hear this news from? The Korean princes have been loaning usury for generations, and whoever has milk is the mother's master. No matter whether King Yong or King Yan, they will leave. Quite close.
I haven’t had much dealings with that guy Xu Kunxuan, but I’ve heard a lot about him.”
Lin Xiaoniang regained her energy and asked her son to talk.
"Xu Kunxuan's fifth uncle, as you know, grandma, is a well-known dandy in the whole capital. He is very proficient in eating, drinking and gambling. In fact, the men in their family are all the same regardless of their direct concubines, but they are not as high-profile as Xu Kunxuan's fifth uncle.
A whole family is full of people like this. How can Xu Kunxuan be any better? I heard that this guy now has more than 10 open rooms, and he often goes to Goulanwashe. He seems to have several outhouses, but I don’t know if he has one. no kids....."
"Brother, you are lying." Mo Lan widened her eyes and said, "I have met the Third Young Master three times, and both of them are quite honest. They are not as bad as you said..."
Sheng Changfeng sneered and said,
"Honest!?! My good sister! What's the benefit of me lying to you? If you don't believe it, ask Snow Lady to go out and inquire carefully. What I said is not a secret, and everyone in the honorable circle knows about it."
Seeing that her daughter's face was a little ugly, Lin Xiaoniang tried to persuade her, "At the age of the third young master, it is human nature to admire Shaoai when he is lustful. Aren't all the noble disciples in the entire capital like this? Who has not done this before?" Don't bother with the fence.
Even the young masters from the scholar-bureaucrat's family are all the same, and there are countless who can beat the three young masters."
Mo Lan said: "The young master has not married yet, nor has he been to any place with fireworks."
Sheng Changfeng pouted, if all the maids in his house were of Chunlan Xiazhu's caliber, he would be able to get out of the mud without getting stained.
"He's just a young man. Look at your brother and the eldest daughter-in-law. They pretend to be gentlemen all day long and look like they're not womanizing. If they don't act the same, they can't help but take over the eldest daughter-in-law..." Lin Xiaoniang pulled her daughter and said, "Mo'er, there are no cats in this world who don't cheat... The most important thing now is to marry into the Duke's palace, fight for your mother-in-law, and let Wei Ruixuan Look at my mother and daughter, only those who are legitimate can marry into the Duke's palace. As for those Yingying Yanyan, when you become the eldest lady, you won't be able to take care of them casually."
Sheng Molan nodded vigorously, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to marry into the Duke's palace!"
When Sheng Changfeng saw that his sister had been persuaded by his mother, he immediately became anxious, "Auntie, the reputation of this Korean government has long been bad. No serious family would marry their own girl into it. Dad will definitely not agree to it if he knows about it."
"Feng'er, after the examination is over, your father will definitely question you about your homework, why don't you go and review your homework!" Lin Xiaoniang got up and drove her son out of the house. She had been trying to get Mo'er to marry some cripple. A prince. Even a fool knows how to choose a marquis. As for the reputation of a Korean public family, Lin Xiaoniang laughed twice. In her eyes, reputation is just a p.
If she wanted to be famous back then, she would not be as wealthy as she is now. According to Mrs. Sheng's wishes, she would definitely arrange for her to marry a poor scholar or a poor scholar who strives for success, and then spend ten or twenty years praying that her own officials can pass the exam. By the time the official passed the imperial examination, she would have become old and wan.
............................
The next day, early morning.
In the study room of Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Yan grabbed the butler and said with shock on his face, "Is he really dead? Is Prince Yong really dead?!"
The chief steward said with a happy face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. We have arranged an internal line in Prince Yong's Mansion to report the news that has just come back.
In the middle of the night last night, King Yong died on his couch. I heard he died immediately from the wind!"
Immediate wind, also known as "sudden death in the housing market", is called "detachment syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. Symptoms: red circles appear on the palms, with red veins covering the palms, which are long and strong circles. If the mouth of the circle is closed, life is over!
Daluo Jinxian is also unable to recover.
In ancient times, when a woman came out of the palace, her parents gave her a silver hairpin, which was a very meaningful gift. The wedding room was decorated with flowers and candles, so that she could be prepared for the wind! When the wind hits, and nothing happens, one must not panic and suddenly break off the truce to end the trouble.
, almost!
If the patient is fine, the patient with the stroke should hug the patient tightly, maintain the original posture, and prick the Changqiang and Renzhong acupoints with a silver hairpin and a fine needle, or press the aforementioned two acupoints with fingernails.
Critical patients may be saved with artificial respiration. Don't be shy, you must shout loudly: "Here comes someone, someone comes quickly! Someone is alive, help me..."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" King Yan looked up to the sky and laughed. Every time King Yong, an old stallion, met him, he would pretend to lament that his son was so noisy that his head hurt. He envied him for having only one son, which often made him prick.
I want to kill this old bastard, "Those who are good at wandering will be drowned, and those who are good at riding will be ruined. Everyone will do what they like and end up with their own disaster. Hahaha~! I didn't expect this old bastard to die on a woman Dupi! When Fu Yi
Dabai! Changsong, put the wine on the table! Put the wine on the table quickly!”
Song Imperial Palace, Daning Palace
"Your Majesty, Da Zong Zhenghe, the Imperial City Secretary, has something urgent to ask for." The eunuch in charge reported in a low voice.
The current official frowned slightly. It was early in the morning and he had not even eaten breakfast. It must not be a good thing for these two people to come over in such a hurry.
"Let's meet Da Zongzheng first."
"See your majesty," Prince Da Zongzheng of Danyang County entered the palace. After bowing to the officials, he hesitated a little and finally informed the emperor of King Yong's death.
Hearing such a ridiculous way of death as "Making the Wind", the emperor was so angry that he couldn't help but cough a few times. The eunuch in charge at the side hurriedly stepped forward, helped him sit up, and helped him calm down.
After a moment's delay, the official wanted to curse a few words.
What a shame!
The majestic Prince of the Song Dynasty, a strong contender for the throne, actually lost his life in this way. He could imagine that the entire capital must be in a state of excitement now.
】
No matter what era, things between men and women are the most popular, and they spread so fast that light waves can only follow behind and eat dust. If the identity of the person involved is associated with power, it will definitely cause a nationwide scandal.
discuss.
What's more, the male protagonist this time is a top dignitary in the Song Dynasty.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to curse King Yong, the emperor suddenly sighed, "Everyone is dead, so what can I do if I curse him?"
He waved his hand and let the bulk be processed according to past practice.
After Dazong retired, the emperor asked his spy chief to promote Zhang Maoze, the Imperial City Secretary, into the palace.
"Slave Zhang Maoze, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty." A middle-aged man, about 40 years old, about seven feet tall, with a broad face and fair face, and straight eyes, came to the emperor and said in a sharp voice after bowing deeply.
The emperor nodded slightly and asked him to get up, "What's the matter so early?"
Zhang Maoze's answer was as expected by the officials. It was exactly what Da Zongzheng said just now. However, he was a professional and his explanation was much more detailed than Da Zongzheng.
Let me tell you everything that King Yong has done in the past week.
What I ate for three meals a day, which concubine's room I entered every night...what time happened last night...the scene when I was discovered...etc.
As for King Yong's plan against Wang Lidong, the conflict that occurred in the west of the city yesterday afternoon, etc., he felt that it had nothing to do with King Yong's death, so there was no need to tell His Majesty the trouble.
The emperor took a sip of hot tea and said, "According to your statement, King Yong has been preparing for the literary anthology recently. He didn't have any conflicts with anyone. This death was purely accidental and no forces were involved?"
Zhang Maoze nodded extremely seriously and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Are all the princes and clan members in the capital still safe recently?"
Zhang Maoze replied: "Most of them are busy with the assessment of the crown prince's literary selection. The chief steward of King Yan and the chief steward of Fuchang Bo (Rong Fei's family) drank together in Cuiyun Tower three days ago. Wei Guogong (the crown prince of Yong) five days ago
In the past, I participated in the full moon wine of Commander Heng (the boss of the bodyguard Ma Junsi), the third son-in-law, and the prince of Danyang County..."
After burning the incense, when Zhang Maoze finished his report, the emperor asked, "Where is Qi Heng, what have you been busy with recently?"
Zhang Maoze replied: "In the past week, Qi Heng has been busy preparing for the 'Sihai Bank', and spent the rest of the time reviewing his homework and preparing for the exam."
The chief chamberlain came to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
The emperor said, "Let's eat here and give Mao Ze a portion too."
Zhang Maoze hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
When breakfast was served, Guan Jia took a fried dough stick and took two bites, "Maoze, tell me about the 'Sihai Bank'."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Maoze told the current officials word for word what he knew. The emperor thought for a while and said, "'Sihai Bank' will keep an eye on the cotton matter. How is Qi Heng prepared?"
Already?"
"All the land needed to grow cotton has been prepared. We spent 6.98 million yuan to buy 2.21 million acres of land. These farms are mainly located on No. 3 Road and Jingdong Road..."
An hour later, Sihai Trading Company.
"Sir, this is news from Zhang Tiju, the Imperial City Secretary." Fugui handed over an envelope. After Wang Lidong opened it, he read it carefully. It was the record of the conversation between the emperor and Zhang Maoze in Daqing Palace not long ago.
At the end, this guy made a small request, wanting to take a stake in the 'Sihai Bank'.
Wang Lidong immediately wrote a reply. There is no problem in joining the bank. When the bank develops to a certain scale, it will be like the cotton trading company, and interested allies can join the bank.
The gossip about King Yong kept the people in the capital excited for more than half a month, and then the heat gradually subsided. Wang Lidong's tabloids took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Every day, various fanfics about Yong Wang's Night Battle were produced, and the sales volume of the tabloid was like a rocket. At the beginning of the next month, Wang Lidong received the financial statements, showing a profit of 1,567 yuan, which was three times more than usual.
It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't happen once a year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The gap between heaven and earth in life is as sudden as the passing of a white horse.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Spring Examination.
The examination venue this time will still be Gongyuan in the capital, but this time it will take a few days longer than the provincial examination and the prefectural examination.
There are three consecutive exams, each taking three days, totaling nine days. The exam questions in the three exams are the same as those in the provincial exam, including four calligraphy essays, five-character and eight-rhyme poems, five scriptures and policy questions.
Before dawn, Wang Lidong was escorted by Qi's mother into the carriage. When he was two hundred meters away from the gate of Gongyuan, the carriage stopped. The coachman reported that the street was crowded with scholars taking the exam.
Wang Lidong opened the curtains and looked out through the car window. The crowd was full of candidates holding lanterns, and there was no end in sight.
This number of people was several times greater than that of the provincial and municipal examinations. Although there were a large number of government officials and soldiers to maintain order, there was still some chaos.
Because the officials of the Song Dynasty were treated very well, including status, beautiful women, and lots of money, they attracted countless students who wanted to cross the class and read the classics.
During the Spring Festival, which occurs once every three years, there are on average more than 12,000 candidates from all over the country who flock to the capital. The number of people is more than five or six times that of the Tang Dynasty.
"Mom, let's wait until there are fewer people before we get off. With so many people, we have to wait for an hour or two to get off."
Princess Pingning also saw the scene outside, nodded, and asked the coachman to back up the carriage fifty or sixty meters and stop in a relatively quiet place.
Under Qi's mother's gaze, Wang Lidong reluctantly took out a book of Zhongyong.
After reading most of the books, the sky was already getting brighter. I looked at the situation at the gate of Gongyuan and found that most of the people were missing.
Qi's mother said, "Heng'er, you can come in."
"Let's wait a little longer," Wang Lidong said. "Anyway, there's still more than half an hour before the exam. If we wait a little longer, I'll queue up."
Qi's mother glanced at her son and said nothing more.
"Master, Madam, Master, the Sheng Mansion's carriage has arrived." Fugui's voice sounded outside the carriage.
"Father, mother." Wang Lidong put aside Zhongyong and said, "I'll go down and take a look."
Princess Pingning snorted, "Let's go down together, we are all relatives after all. Otherwise it would be disrespectful."
"My lord, Madam, the carriage of the Duke of Qi is parked not far ahead," Laifu, an official of the Sheng Mansion, reminded in a voice, "The princess, the Duke of Qi and the young prince are all here."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly opened the curtains and saw Qi Heng's family standing twenty meters away. She hurriedly said, "Laifu, stop the car." She hurriedly arranged her makeup and then helped Sheng Hong tidy up his clothes.
Glancing at the anxious lady, Sheng Hong said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so anxious!"
Wang said, "The princess and the queen are waiting outside the car. It's such a cold day. Don't keep people waiting for a long time."
"Qi Heng has met his aunt and uncle," Wang Lidong saw Sheng Hong and Wang getting out of the car and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Sheng Hong lost his old smiling face and just smiled and nodded in response.
Be reserved!
Mrs. Wang stepped forward and took Wang Lidong's hand, but she liked it more and more. She smiled and said, "Young Master, you don't have to be so polite."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Auntie, just call me Brother Heng."
"Okay! I'll call you Brother Heng from now on." Wang's smile almost reached the back of her head with joy.
Sheng Hong saw his wife pulling Wang Lidong and talking endlessly. Just now she said not to freeze Princess Pingning. As soon as she got out of the car, she turned her head away. He glanced at the princess and Duke of Qi who were waiting aside, and immediately stepped forward to pull her away quietly.
Pulling, Wang reluctantly let go of her hand.
Wang Lidong exhaled. His future mother-in-law was so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist it.
