Jiying Lane, Shengfu

Sheng Hong bid farewell to the old lady, walked out of Shou'an Hall with a dark face, and turned around with Sheng Changbai towards Lin Xige. Rulan guessed that Zha's father was going to deal with Sheng Changfeng, and was about to follow him to watch the fun, but he said something bad, but Sheng Hualan grabbed her and said, "Fifth sister, come with me to the front hall. Mother must be very busy there alone." She leaned close to Rulan's ear and whispered, "Dad must be very angry now. You will get scolded if you go there. .”

Thinking that her father had always disliked her, Ru Lan obediently followed her eldest sister to the front hall, "What are you busy with, mother?"

Hua Landao said, "There are so many betrothal gifts that need to be sorted and accounted for. There is also so much gold and silver. If you don't keep an eye on it, it won't be surprising if there are hundreds or even thousands of taels missing when it is put into the warehouse."

Rulan quickly quickened her pace.

Hua Lan looked at Ru Lan with envy and said, "The betrothal gift given by my young master today is worth at least one million yuan, and you are the only one in the capital!"

Rulan said casually, since the last time Qi Heng told her that he could earn hundreds of millions of silver in a trip, to her, a million silver is just like ordinary people hearing one or two hundred coins, which is no longer exciting. There was a slight commotion.

Seeing the calm look on Fifth Sister's face, Hua Lan thought that she already knew the specific amount of the betrothal gift, so she didn't continue the topic. She looked around and whispered, "Fifth Sister, eldest sister, I want to ask you a favor."

Ru Lan was a little surprised that her eldest sister had never asked her for anything since she was a child. She saw that her eldest sister was wearing half-old clothes. She heard that her eldest sister was living a very difficult life in her brother-in-law's house. Even her dowry was cheated by her mother-in-law. She suddenly said, "Sister, are you tight on money? How much do you want?"

Hua Lan waved her hand and said, "It's not about money. Your brother-in-law will be transferred to the Imperial Palace Department next month to support the Japanese army..."

Rulan said in surprise, "Brother-in-law has been promoted?"

Hua Lan smiled and nodded, but still warned, "Now that I haven't come down yet, Fifth Sister remember to keep it a secret, so as not to let some people know about it and cause harm."

Ru Lan nodded hurriedly.

Hua Lan said, "The current commander of the Japanese Army is called Gu Yanqi. I heard that he is Brother Heng's third uncle. Can you tell Brother Heng and ask him to say hello to his third uncle and take care of you in the future? Brother-in-law..."

It's not a big deal, Ru Lan nodded and said, "I will write to Brother Heng later, but I don't know what the relationship between Third Uncle and Brother Heng you mentioned is like. If the relationship is not good, I may not be able to help you then. I'm busy, eldest sister, don't blame Brother Heng."

Hua Lan smiled and said, "I know, no matter whether this thing happens or not, I am very grateful to Fifth Sister."

The two sisters came to the front hall chatting and laughing. Seeing that the old lady was very busy, they hurriedly stepped forward to help. When Wang saw the two sisters, he first asked about the old lady's situation. Knowing that it was nothing serious, he assigned tasks to the two girls.

Rulan was responsible for the classification and registration of various miscellaneous items. When the boy reported the two wild geese, he hurriedly asked the boy to lift the geese up. He found that today's two were different from the three at home, and there were two more geese on the forehead. Bang....

Hualan was responsible for helping Wang. While checking the number of items, she whispered to Wang, "Mom, Changfeng owes so much money, and the family must not be able to pay it out, right? You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

Mrs. Wang said calmly, "Why should I be anxious? I didn't borrow it, and I didn't spend it. Whoever borrowed it should ask for it!" She just recalled that it was Changfeng who came to borrow the 150,000 yuan. Yes, even if it's a place to print money, you can't rob the Sheng family's house for no reason.

Hua Lan said in surprise, "Mother doesn't want to take care of it?"

Wang sneered and said, "I don't care! Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Molan have lived in Lin Xige since childhood. Your father said that I am not allowed to interfere in Lin Xige's affairs. If something happens now, don't come to me!"

Hua Lan said, "How can Changfeng get so much money? Dad will definitely not ignore it. In the end, it will not be paid for by the family."

"Anyway, I have no money. If I really want to sell the house, it will be embarrassing for the Sheng family. Your father is so shameless..." Wang saw Ru Lan just playing, and immediately scolded her loudly, "If you keep playing around, I will Let the cook stew these two beasts..."

Nightfall

Sheng Hong led Chang Bai into the Shou'an Hall with a straight face. When he saw Ming Lan supporting the old lady while walking in the courtyard, he bowed his hands and said,

"Mom's complexion looks much better. Can we have dinner?"

The old lady didn't seem to notice Sheng Hong's ugly face, and nodded slightly, "I just finished using it. I'm not here to eat. Why are you and Changbai, the eldest lady and Ru'er?"

Sheng Hong said, "In the back, we'll be there soon."

"Then you and Changbai sit in the room first, and I'll leave for a while."

After seeing her father and second brother enter the house, Minglan whispered, "Grandma, did your father have a quarrel with the eldest lady?"

The old lady said, "Maybe, I'll know when the lady comes later."

While the two were talking, Wang stepped into the courtyard, her face also dark, but Ru Lan behind her looked like she was fine...

When Mrs. Wang saw the old lady, she forced a smile on her face and said hello, and then asked about her recovery. For the first time, she even held the old lady's arm and walked with her. During this period, she even asked about her welfare and took care of everything she ate and drank. I asked again, with such an enthusiastic look, it was like a licking dog meeting a goddess...

After the four of them walked around the small courtyard for two more times, they entered the house together. When they saw that everyone was here, the old lady got straight to the point and said to Sheng Hong, "You said you had a plan at noon. ?”

Sheng Hong bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Mother, Chang Feng has made such a big mistake and should be kicked out of the house and left to fend for himself. However, the huge debt he owes this time is not for personal gain, but for the reputation of the Sheng family. ..."

Mrs. Sheng said, "Are you going to bear this huge debt for him?"

Sheng Hong knelt down and said, "What happened to such a big thing is mainly because of my lax discipline. But no matter what, Chang Feng is also a son of the Sheng family. We can't just watch him being dragged out by money lenders and sold into slavery. When the time comes, how can my son and Changbai have the dignity to stand in the court..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sheng Changbai also knelt down with a plop, but not a single line came out of his mouth.

Seeing that his own son actually begged for mercy for Sheng Changfeng, Wang was so angry that his internal organs ached so much that he kept whispering, white-eyed wolf, four-eyed snake, how could he be so big in vain...

Old Mrs. Sheng had long guessed that this would be the result. Unless the Sheng family did not want to continue to wallow in the officialdom, the debt would still be borne by the whole family in the end. "For 450,000 yuan, the family does not have that much money, unless the yard is sold. ..."

Sheng Hong said hurriedly, "This yard is the ancestral property of the family. How can we sell it to pay off the debt?"

Old Mrs. Sheng said, "Who are you going to ask to borrow such a large amount of money?"

Sheng Hong glanced at Mr. Wang and said, "That's what my son thinks. The betrothal gift sent by the Duke of Qi today, in gold and silver alone, totals 400,000 yuan. Let's borrow it for now, and the family will contribute another 50,000 yuan." Guan, this debt can be solved."

After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he looked at the old lady. As long as she supported her, even if the Wang family refused, it would not help.

Mrs. Sheng did not reply immediately, but looked at the fifth girl and said, "Ru Lan, the betrothal gift sent today will be put into your dowry in the future. Your father wants to use this money to pay off the debt, do you agree?" "

Rulan turned a blind eye to the pleading look cast by her father, "I listen to my mother."

Mrs. Sheng looked at Mrs. Wang, "Madam, what do you think?"

Wang said with a cold face, "Mom, you also know that although I have been the eldest daughter of the Sheng family for so many years, I have raised Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Molan in Lin Xige since they were young, and I have never taken care of them for a day.

Now that something happened to Sheng Changfeng, I just want Ru Lan to post a dowry to help that bastard get rid of the trouble, but don’t even think about it!

After what happened in the morning, if I hadn't kept low and acted small, the princess could barely take back the marriage certificate! If she misappropriated the betrothal gift again, would Ru'er be able to hold her head up after entering the Duke of Qi's palace for the rest of her life?" Mrs. Wang became more and more angry as she pointed out Sheng Hong cursed loudly, "I haven't caused any trouble for that evil bitch, and now he wants me to give him a rub..."

Sheng Hong was furious, pointed at Wang and shouted, "That's enough, you bitch is my son, Sheng Hong!"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, "It's your son, not mine. If you want to help him pay off his debt, then pay for it with your own money. Don't try to trick me Ru'er!"

Sheng Hong was furious and said, "You idiot! If Chang Feng is really sold into slavery, Li Shilang's marriage will definitely be ruined, and Chang Bai's career will be over! In this life, he will be a seventh-rank official. ...Is this what you want to see?"

Mrs. Wang's heart was twitching as she looked at her only son...

Rulan suddenly said, "I remember that my second brother and my second uncle Gu have a close relationship. My second uncle has several million guan. Isn't it difficult to borrow 400,000 guan temporarily?"

Wang's eyes brightened, she clapped her hands and said to Chang Bai, "Bai'er, with you and Erlang Gu..."

Changbai hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Ting Ye has been away from the capital for several months. I don't know where he is now. Even if I know, it will not save him from the fire..."

Ru Lan said, "Yesterday Brother Heng's letter mentioned Uncle Gu, saying that he is now in a military camp in the eastern suburbs outside the city... hanging out with a clan member named Zhao... If you don't want me to ask Magpie to ask Brother Heng now, I think he knows where it is. To the east of the city, it takes at most one day to come and go. The loan shark said he will come after three days, so he will definitely be there in time..."

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Looking at the stupid second brother and the scumbag father, Ru Lan looked down upon him, and the father and son would bully the poor old woman...

After a while, Mrs. Sheng broke the deadlock and said to Sheng Hong, "Since the eldest lady does not agree to use Ru'er's betrothal gift, then don't touch it. Just like the eldest lady said, if you really want to touch the betrothal gift, Ru'er's life will definitely be difficult when she enters the Duke's mansion. Even the servants in the mansion will point fingers behind her back...and she will even have to decide the girl's betrothal gift. Who will dare to marry a girl from our Sheng family in the future? .”

Sheng Hong said anxiously, "Mother, Chang Feng..."

Old Mrs. Sheng waved her hand and interrupted, "Let me finish. As for the debt of 450,000 guan, you can take out the deed of the house in this yard, put it against Brother Heng, and borrow 450,000 guan to pay off the debt first. As for the debt, Brother Heng’s money, please pay it back slowly in the future.”

2vs1!

Sheng Hong hesitated for a moment and could only nod helplessly.

Old Mrs. Sheng took the tea cup, drank two sips of tea, moistened her throat, and then said, "Chang Feng, what are you going to do?"

Hearing the name of this rebellious son, Sheng Hong's face turned livid, "Send him back to his hometown and imprison him in the family temple. Except for every imperial examination, he will stay there the rest of the time..."

Wang interrupted and said, "Chang Feng has caused a great disaster. How many years will the officials plan to imprison him?"

Sheng Hong said, "If you fail to pass the imperial examination, you will be imprisoned for the rest of your life!"

Although Wang is a bit upright, he is not stupid and does not know the subtext. On the contrary, if he passes the Jinshi examination, he will be able to have fun...

Seeing that my mother wanted to have sex again, Ru Lan hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled her. No matter how much she said, her scumbag would not listen, so she had better save her strength.

Mrs. Wang grunted unwillingly, thinking that she hoped that little beast would never be able to pass the Jinshi exam...

After talking about the matter, when the family was about to say goodbye and leave, the old lady threw a grenade, which exploded and made Sheng Hong and Wang dizzy...

Sheng Hong said in disbelief, "Is the Qi Xuan my mother is talking about brother Heng's cousin Qi Xuan?"

Seeing the old lady nodding, Sheng Hong said in disbelief, "Ms. Cao is the cousin of the current queen. She has higher standards than Princess Pingning. Will she like our family Ming'er?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Sheng suddenly became furious, pointed at Sheng Hong's nose and said, "Mo Lan can marry into the Duke's palace. I know that this girl knows books, is courteous, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in women's red embroidery. What makes you unworthy of Brother Xuan?"

Sheng Hong knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly apologized. He didn't mean it...

Rulan jumped up to Minglan and said happily, "Congratulations, Xiaoliu, oops..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Minglan asked strangely, "What happened to Fifth Sister?"

Ru Lan held her chin with her left hand, thinking, "When you marry Brother Xuan, should I call you Sister-in-law, or Sixth Sister?"

Minglan's little face instantly turned red, and she stretched out her hand to scratch Rulan's itchy spot...

Wang asked strangely, "Mom, since the other party is interested, why should the engagement date be set two months later?"

Sheng Hong also felt strange and looked at the old lady.

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Hong unhappily and said, "It's not your good son Chang Feng's fault. Originally, Mrs. Cao would invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage in three days, but today such a big joke was made. Now is it time to come to propose marriage? Being laughed at to death, who is Mrs. Cao..."

.....................

The next day, after lunch, Wang took the house deed and dragged her little tail, Rulan, out of the house in a car.
