The holding of a grand wedding caused a sensation in Tokyo. Not only did the new emperor Zhao Zongquan resign from "Chengyuan" as the new residence of the Sheng family, he also personally arranged for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to help organize the wedding.
Not to be outdone, the Queen Mother also rewarded Sheng Hong with a large amount of gold and silver, which made the Sheng family earn enough face.
After the noisy wedding, even if she married Shen Ruyue, Sheng Hong was ready to leave all the trivial matters at home in the hands of Shen.
"Madam, these are the Sheng family's account books, land deeds, and house deeds.
You will be responsible for everything from now on!"
"Officer, I'm worried that I'm not capable enough to take care of this!" Shen said feeling very happy, but still a little worried.
"Haha, if you don't know, you can learn slowly!
I'll let Mama Fang assist you!
You are the eldest lady in the family, and you will definitely be responsible for these housekeeping tasks in the future!"
"Yes, officer!"
"Also, there are two important things for our Sheng family next.
The first one is the marriage between Changbai and Haijia. It has been delayed for many years, and it’s time to get it done!
The second is that the adopted son Gu Changsheng marries the only daughter of a British noble family.
Although Changsheng himself will be mainly responsible, our Sheng family also has to help with it!"
"Got it! Officer!"
But I heard, officer, you originally wanted Gu Changsheng to marry Minglan from our Sheng family?" Mrs. Shen looked at Sheng Hong in front of her with curiosity.
"Yeah! It's just that Minglan was still young, so she didn't take it to heart at the time!
After Gu Changsheng was granted the title of Marquis of Changsheng for his merits in serving the dragon, it can be said that the tide has lifted all boats, and he was granted a marriage by His Majesty!
If we talk about Changsheng and Minglan again, it will seem a bit inappropriate!"
"I see!
Being granted a marriage by His Majesty, really no one can say anything!
The British Duke is also our top nobleman in the Zhou Dynasty, and will be very helpful to Gu Changsheng's future career!" Mrs. Shen nodded with a knowing expression.
"Madam, the reason why I recognized Gu Tingye as my adopted son and changed his name to Gu Changsheng was to help Gu Tingye and prevent him from becoming decadent!
Since he has a better marriage now, there is no need to force him!
It makes no sense to strain the relationship between the two families like that!"
"Well! Officer, what you said makes sense!
I'll take care of it!"
"Haha, madam, I have full confidence in you!
It’s getting late, a spring night is worth a thousand dollars, let’s rest!”
"ah......"
...
Sheng Hong and Shen Ruyue entered the bridal chamber happily, but Wang Ruofu cried in despair at the Wang family.
"Well... the heartless Sheng Hong actually married a young and beautiful woman as his eldest wife!
You don’t care about me, the former eldest lady, at all!" Wang Ruofu cursed like a resentful woman.
"Miss, you and the master should not have reconciled back then!
You really made the wrong move!" Mother Liu on the side couldn't help complaining.
"Ah? Mother Liu, since you are so sober.
Why didn't you remind me and stop me in the first place?" Wang Ruofu suddenly looked at Liu's mother with complaining eyes.
"Huh? Miss, I'm just a servant!
I also don't understand why your mother and your brother advised you to make peace.
How do you want me to stop you?" Liu's mother explained with a wry smile.
"But it's too late to say this now!
Apart from Ru Lan, I can say that I have nothing!
Even Changbai and Hualan are indifferent to me!"
Hearing Wang Ruofu's complaint, Liu's mother did not answer. Wang Ruofu felt that she was aggrieved after living under the roof of others for the past few years. In fact, Liu's mother also felt that she was very embarrassed.
Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they would fly separately when disaster struck. Mother Liu knew clearly that the Wang family's profit-seeking and Wang Ruofu's stupidity completely broke Sheng Hong's heart, and she did not want to have anything to do with the "baggage" of the Wang family anymore. She
This servant can only bear the consequences with his master.
Now the Wang family and Wang Ruofu have become a joke in Tokyo Prefecture. They actually abandoned their husbands and children and chose to divorce and return to their parents' home.
As a result, the entire Sheng family prospered. Not only did her ex-husband get promoted and make a fortune, but her daughter also became Princess Huan. There was almost no suspense that she would become the Crown Princess and the Queen.
But all of this has nothing to do with her, Wang Ruofu. How could she not let the dignitaries of Tokyo Prefecture secretly laugh at the Wang family's short-sightedness?
...
The continuous good news from the Sheng family not only stimulated the Wang family, but also stimulated the Gu family of Ningyuan Hou. Especially when they heard that the British Duke Zhang family no longer asked Gu Tingye to return to the Gu family tree under the influence of the new emperor Zhao Zongquan, they agreed to the marriage. Ning Yuan
Hou Gu Yankai felt completely uncomfortable.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Not only did Gu Tingye's incident upset the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis, but during the funeral of the late emperor, the sons of the Gu family actually went to a brothel to drink and have sex with prostitutes, and were caught by the censor on duty.
As a result, the sons of the Fourth and Fifth Fangs were soon found to have participated in the rebellion of King Yan and King Yong, and were immediately imprisoned in prison, awaiting the court's judgment.
The Gu family no longer had the time to worry about Gu Tingye's affairs, and just like ants on a hot pot, they hurriedly came to Ningyuan Hou Gu Yan's place.
"Brother, you must ask Your Majesty to spare our son!"
"Hey! What happened this time is different from the last time when Sheng Hong, the young minister of Dali Temple, arrested them.
Your sons Ting Bing and Ting Di are involved in rebellion against the king!
This is a serious crime of rebellion!
There’s nothing I can do now!”
"Brother, you can't say that!
You’re not really going to watch your nephews’ heads disappear, are you?” The fourth and fifth rooms widened their eyes in horror.
"Hey! In that case, let's talk about the ugly things first.
I will beg Your Majesty. As for whether it will work or not, don't have too much hope!" Gu Yankai looked at his two younger brothers helplessly.
"Brother, we all understand!
As long as you beg His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely give you face!" Both the fourth and fifth bedrooms showed surprised expressions.
"Fourth uncle, fifth uncle, don't just point at our marquis.
You still need to beg Tingye.
He is the newly promoted Marquis of Changsheng, and he is the popular person in front of His Majesty!" Xiao Qin on the side shook his head and explained with a wry smile.
"Yes! Why did we forget this kid Tingye!
Our two uncles did not offend him.
He will definitely be willing to help us!" Hearing Xiao Qin's reminder, the fourth and fifth bedrooms became happy again.
Hearing the conversation between Xiao Qin and his two younger brothers, Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai had a complicated look on his face, and he also had mixed emotions in his heart. He really didn't expect that the "revenge of this world" would come so quickly.
In fact, Gu Yankai had long regretted driving away Gu Tingye. After all, he was his own son, so why didn't he love him.
It's just that he always had a bad look on his second son, Gu Tingye, and couldn't stand his son's disregard for him as a father, so he developed a habit of reprimanding Gu Tingye involuntarily.
In fact, what Gu Yankai hates most now is Sheng Hong. He believes that it is Sheng Hong's meddling in other people's affairs that has completely eliminated the possibility of easing the relationship between him and Gu Tingye.
With hatred in his heart, Gu Yankai wanted to take revenge on Sheng Hong. When he saw the Wang family asking Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong to reconcile, Gu Yankai felt very happy.
Unexpectedly, I was not happy for a long time. Sheng Hong suddenly turned around and became a relative of the emperor. He also took away his son Gu Tingye. Sheng Hong himself became a third-rank minister of household affairs.
Now that Sheng Hong was married to the Shen family again, Gu Yankai knew that he would never have the chance to retaliate against the other party, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
