Chapter 27: The Harvest Season Has Finally Arrived
Things in the world are so wonderful, only when you give up can you gain something.
Sheng Hualan married Zhao Yingce as a concubine as the eldest daughter, which seems a bit aggrieved at the moment.
But when Zhao Zongquan's "small sailing ship" turns into an "aircraft carrier", Zhao Yingce will become the prince and emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Sheng Hualan will become a noble concubine at the very least.
If you are like in the original drama, marrying into the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin's house and living in a poor family, and having to endure the abuse of your mother-in-law, since it is not satisfactory, why not choose a more noble identity.
At first, Sheng Hong did not go directly to propose marriage, but arranged for Sheng Hualan and Zhao Yingce to have more contact. After the two of them had a good impression of each other, Zhao Zongquan and Zhao Yingce took the initiative to propose marriage.
After making arrangements for Hualan and Gu Tingye, Sheng Hong became completely stable and low-key, and stopped doing high-profile things. When Sheng Hualan got married, Sheng Hong only said to keep a low profile.
With Sheng Hualan's intelligence, she would be able to understand what she said, and then Sheng Hong would feel relieved.
Sheng Hong, who has kept a low profile, has been staying in his mansion and living happily with his concubine Xiaodie.
The Wang family and Wang Ruofu, who were far away in Tokyo, heard that Sheng Hong married Sheng Hualan to Zhao Yingce, a "declined royal family", as a concubine.
Everyone in the Wang family became angry, "Ruofu, this Sheng Hong is so abominable!
He treated Hua Lan so badly!
You, a mother, don’t even have any opinions!”
"Mom, seeing Hua Lan being treated so harshly by Sheng Hong makes my heart hurt even more!
Without Tong Shenghong and Li, this kind of thing would never have happened!"
"Ruofu, what I hear from you is that you are complaining that your brother and I are troublesome, and are you trying to persuade you to make peace with Sheng Hong?"
"Mother, isn't it like this?
Isn't it revenge on me for Sheng Hong to treat Hua Lan like this?
Doesn't he just hate me and the Wang family for being so ruthless that he despises Hua Lan so much?" Wang Ruofu suddenly said excitedly, she was fed up with the life of being dependent on others.
"Hmph! Hualan is not only your Wang Ruofu's daughter, but also the daughter of his Sheng family.
Even Sheng Hong doesn't mind being embarrassed, so why are you meddling in your own business?"
...
Time flies, time flies.
Before you know it, several years have passed.
As the battle between King Yan and King Yong of Tokyo Prefecture became more and more fierce, the barren land of Yuzhou also became turbulent.
Zhao Zongquan's family has suffered many assassinations. If it were not for Gu Tingye's personal protection, Zhao Zongquan would have been killed several times.
As time went by, Zhao Zongquan became more and more satisfied with Gu Tingye, and Zhao Yingce and Gu Tingye became close friends.
In the second year after marrying Zhao Yingce, Sheng Hualan gave birth to a son to Zhao Yingce. She did not forget about doing things in a high-profile manner. Instead, she still followed her father Sheng Hong's instructions and lived in the Zhao family in a low-key manner.
Sheng Hualan, Zhao Yingce and Zhao Zongquan's family are all very satisfied and fond of the well-educated, low-key and kind-hearted person.
Gu Tingye came to Sheng Hong with Zhao Yingce and said anxiously, "Father, something big has happened!
The Zhao family was attacked by assassins again!"
"What? Are there any casualties?"
"Father-in-law, this attack is more serious than the previous ones!
The assassin broke into the inner house and saw Mrs. Zou from my uncle's house. He thought she was my mother and killed my aunt on the spot!
My first wife, who was beside my aunt at the time, was also killed by an assassin!" Zhao Yingce on the side explained sadly.
"Ah? So serious? How are Hua Lan and her son?"
"Back to my father-in-law, Hua Lan has always kept a low profile and is not very familiar with the assassins. He is very safe now!"
Sheng Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing that Hua Lan was safe, he was very surprised, but it was not suitable to show it on his face.
"Father, let's come here this time.
Even if I feel that enduring like this is not a long-term solution.
The other party will become more and more excessive!
So I persuaded the regiment training envoy to go to Beijing to complain, and came here specifically to listen to your opinion, foster father!"
"Well! Changsheng, what you said makes sense!
I can't bear it any longer!
It is also necessary to go to Tokyo Prefecture, it is best to bring more people to guard against the other party's madness!"
Hearing that Sheng Hong agreed with their opinions, Gu Tingye and Zhao Yingce were both surprised, and then they quickly went back to prepare for Beijing.
Looking at Gu Tingye and Zhao Yingce leaving, Sheng Hong knew that the next plot was about to begin, and he did not need to interfere too much at all.
After Zhao Zongquan rushed to Tokyo with Gu Tingye and Zhao Yingce, in order to prevent assassins, Sheng Hong secretly took the Zhao family to his own magistrate's office and hid them.
...
This coup broke out very violently and affected a wide range of people. Because Sheng Hong had made arrangements in advance, the Sheng family was not harmed at all.
The old lady who was far away in Yuyang's hometown heard about the coup in Tokyo and was thankful that she had left early, otherwise bloodshed might have occurred in the Sheng family.
When she heard the news next that Zhao Zongquan, an in-law of the Sheng family, had returned to Tokyo with Gu Tingye and Zhao Yingce to quell the rebellion, and was confirmed by the emperor as the heir to the throne, the old lady was also shocked by the advance arrangements for her son Sheng Hong.
"Miss Wei, go down and get ready!
It may not be long before we return to Tokyo!"
"Ah? Mother, has the master been promoted to Tokyo Prefecture again!" Wei Xiaoniang had a surprised expression on her face.
"Haha, not only have we been promoted, our Sheng family has also become relatives of the emperor!" The old lady was also very happy. After years of hard work, the harvest season has finally arrived.
"ah?"
"Grandma, are we really going back to Tokyo?" Minglan, who has grown into a girl, also looked at the old lady with a face of surprise.
"haha, yes!
Minglan, do you miss your brother Changsheng?" The old lady suddenly looked at her granddaughter Minglan in front of her with a doting expression.
"Grandma, you are so evil!
You actually made fun of Minglan!"
"Haha, Minglan, it's not grandma who is making fun of you!
Now that our Sheng family is gradually getting on the right track, and you are older, it is time to arrange your marriage!"
...
Yuzhou, the official government office of Zhizhou.
Upon hearing the news from Tokyo Prefecture, the Zhao family fell into a sea of joy, and everyone was excited.
Then Zhao Zongquan's eldest wife arranged for her family to move to Tokyo Prefecture. Because Sheng Hong still had an official position, she still stayed in Yuzhou.
Zhao Yingce's first wife was assassinated, and Sheng Hualan had the opportunity to be corrected. For Sheng Hong, it was really an unexpected blessing.
In fact, when I told Sheng Hualan to keep a low profile, I also knew that there would be an assassination. If Hua Lan kept a low profile, she would at least be able to survive safely.
It's not that Sheng Hong is evil. In this feudal society, the opportunity to become a relative of the emperor is still very tempting.
Although he stayed in Yuzhou this time, Sheng Hong knew that he had been transferred back to Tokyo soon.
I really want to see the colorful expressions on those people's faces when I return to Tokyo. The Wang family and Gu family must be filled with regret.
