Sheng Hong sat in the Shou'an Hall with a frosty look on his face. The old lady beside him was also angry and didn't say a word. The servants also knew the host's indignation, so they all held their breath in unison.
The entire Shou'an Hall was in a depressing atmosphere, with only the eldest lady Wang Ruofu crying and roaring.
"Officer, you told me that the second son of the Yuan family was a very good person.
But he was so rude when he made the offer, and our Sheng family couldn't bear it!
Now the Yuan family suddenly broke off the engagement again!
This Yuan family is so shameless, officials cannot swallow this!"
"Enough!
In the eyes of their Earl Zhongqin Mansion, our Sheng family is just a small family.
They don't take it seriously at all!
What’s the point of the eldest lady crying and fussing here?”
"Mother, can this be the end of it?"
"Madam, our Sheng family is not strong enough. We can't bear to say this. What else can we do?"
"Mother, everything is your son's fault!
We should not have entered into a marriage with this Earl of Zhongqin in the first place!
Otherwise, our Hua'er wouldn't have been made so useless!" Sheng Hong on the side apologized with an annoyed look on his face.
“Master, it’s okay if this marriage doesn’t happen!
This Earl Zhongqin's Mansion is really not a peaceful place.
If Hua'er really marries into Earl Zhongqin's mansion, I don't know how many grievances she will suffer!"
...
Sheng Hong was really angry, but because he was not strong enough, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
This feeling of frustration was very uncomfortable. In order to relax, Sheng Hong came to the "Sheng's Library".
Seeing the quiet and orderly reading environment, Sheng Hong felt much more comfortable. He casually picked up the books on the bookshelf, sat down and read quietly.
This kind of atmosphere, which is infinitely close to the library of later generations, makes Sheng Hong feel very comfortable and makes him feel like he is no longer a time traveler.
Sheng Hong, who was immersed in reading, did not notice that the seats around him were soon filled with students. After waking up, he looked up and saw that there were so many students in the library, and Sheng Hong smiled silently.
"Brother, are you also taking part in this scientific examination?" A student next to him looked at Sheng Hong, suddenly smiled and whispered.
"Eh? Yes! Brother too?"
"Yes! Almost all the students here in the library are rushing to take this scientific examination!
I’m really grateful to the Sheng family for providing such a comfortable study environment for our students!”
Sheng Hong was very happy when he heard the other party's compliments and thanks, but he couldn't respond and just smiled instead.
Seeing that there were more and more students, and some students had begun to lose their seats and could only stand there reading, Sheng Hong quickly stood up, returned the books, and prepared to leave the library.
As soon as Sheng Hong stood up, the seat he had vacated was taken by other students. He was very satisfied with this phenomenon and Sheng Hong smiled silently again.
Signing to the steward not to make any noise, Sheng Hong was about to leave when he was attracted by a shout, "Sheng Shanda, are you actually in the library?"
Hearing the shout, Sheng Hong turned around with confusion and looked at the owner of the voice, only to find that it was Mr. Han in regular clothes.
"Ms. Han, do you also come to the library to read?"
"Sheng Shanda, I have always heard that a library has recently opened in Tokyo.
It is convenient for many students.
Today I took advantage of my break and came here to take a look!" Mr. Han explained with a smile on his face.
"Oh? How do you feel, Mr. Han?"
"Sheng Shanda, I really didn't expect that you would be so considerate of the world's scholars!
I had never imagined such a comfortable reading environment before!"
"Haha, Sheng feels honored to be praised so much by Mr. Han!" Sheng Hong was very proud of Mr. Han's praise.
"Xianggong Han, there is an independent reading room in the back.
If you don’t mind, you might as well go inside and have some tea!" Sheng Hong suddenly looked at the invitation from Mr. Han in front of him and said.
"Oh? Mr. Shanda, lead the way!" Mr. Han said with interest on his face.
Sheng Hong took Mr. Han directly to the independent reading room in the backyard. The steward also brought tea, and then the two of them sat down casually.
Looking at Mr. Han who was looking at the environment, Sheng Hong poured tea for him and explained with a smile, "Mr. Han, this is the reading room that I specially isolated!
It’s very interesting to drink tea and read a book at the same time!”
“It’s really good!
Reading here is indeed a pleasure!
And in the lobby outside, the atmosphere is also very good.
It can make you calm down and immerse yourself in books.”
"Haha, if the Grand Prime Minister likes it, I will ask the steward to leave this reading room for the Grand Prime Minister in case the Grand Prime Minister comes over!"
"Oh? Thank you so much Shanda!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome!
It’s our library’s honor to have you come here!
Here I also want to apologize to Mr. Han for the last court meeting!"
Hearing Sheng Hong mention the last court meeting, Mr. Han looked at Sheng Hong in front of him with a complicated expression, and suddenly said with a playful look, "Sheng Shan, tell me the truth, did you deliberately change the topic last time?"
"Uh? Mr. Han, how do you start talking about this?"
"It was the first time that Sheng went to court, and no one informed me about the issues of the meeting. How could he change the subject?"
"Can I really predict the future, or does Han Daxiang think that my disaster relief methods are not good?"
After hearing Sheng Hong's explanation, Mr. Han also realized that it was unlikely, and stopped mentioning the matter, "The Shanda people's disaster relief method is nothing more than working for relief. I don't think it's that strange!
The first priority of the current imperial court is to select the crown prince.
The rest are just trivial details that really don’t matter!”
"Huh? Sheng didn't know anything about this!
But this is something your Majesty should consider, right?
How come we ministers interfere too much in the family affairs of the Heavenly Family?"
"Hmph! I just thought Shanda was a well-read man, but I didn't expect him to be so pedantic!
The Heavenly Family is unstable, so how can all industries prosper in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
It seems that Shanda people still need to study more and be more knowledgeable in order to be reused by the court!"
Hearing Sheng Hong's opinion, Mr. Han suddenly walked away angrily, unwilling to look at Sheng Hong again.
"Xianggong Han..."
Sheng Hong felt helpless when he saw that the dignified Grand Prince acted like an unreasonable little old man.
Just now, she suddenly saw that Mr. Han was very interested in his "Sheng's Library". Sheng Hong was moved in his heart and wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship with Mr. Han.
I really didn't expect that I would make the other party so angry just by casually speaking my thoughts.
Could it be that I don’t get along with Mr. Han Da Xianggong?
Thinking that in the original drama, Sheng Hong was just a small official as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean, and he really had nothing to do with the great husband, I suddenly smiled bitterly.
It seems that even though I am a time traveler, I am still despised by these "natives" who have a strong sense of superiority. Not only does Grand Prime Minister Han look down on me, but even the Earl of Zhongqin's Palace has chosen to break off the engagement with the Sheng family.
Sheng Hong suddenly felt that he was the most frustrated traveler. As soon as he traveled through time, he had no choice but to kill and kill. He had just enjoyed it for a few days, but now he started to feel frustrated again.
