Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sheng Family Has a Daughter Without Worrying About Marriage
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Sheng Hong woke up early in the morning and looked at the young Shen next to him. He smiled silently and sighed that the fate was really wonderful.
I couldn't help but touch Shen's nose gently, and accidentally woke up the sleeping Shen, "Master, are you awake? Then I will help you get up!"
"No! It's still early! Let's go back to sleep!" Sheng Hong quickly smiled and stopped the eldest lady Shen.
"Yes! Official!"
"Ruyue, you are my wife, you don't have to be so polite in the future!"
"Huh? Official, before I got married, my mother told me that I should treat the official as a guest and serve the official with all my heart!" The eldest lady Shen looked a little puzzled.
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Shen's childish explanation, Sheng Hong realized that she was just a little girl who was a new wife, and then he scratched Shen's nose fondly.
"Silly girl, a real couple doesn't need to treat each other like guests!
You can live freely in the Sheng family, and I won't force you to do anything!"
"Really? Official!" After understanding the meaning of Sheng Hong's words, Shen said with some surprise.
"Of course! My wife!"
Sheng Hong didn't know why Shen was so surprised. It was because this kind of feudal society was the most unfriendly to women. It was almost impossible to live a free and unrestrained life.
"Haha! Ruyue, your officials are a little itchy again!
Madam, please help me scratch it!" Looking at the beautiful Shen next to him, Sheng Hong suddenly said with a wicked smile.
"Ah? Officer, don't..." Sensing Sheng Hong's dishonest hands and looking at his evil expression, Shen quickly exclaimed.
...
Tokyo Prefecture, Jiying Lane, Shengjia, Shouantang.
"Old lady, the master should bring the eldest lady to greet you soon!
Should we prepare in advance!"
"Haha, I won't come here so early!
Mom Fang, you don’t need to be in a hurry!”
In the past few years, the old lady gradually got to know her son Sheng Hong, who did not like to be restrained, so she guessed that Sheng Hong would not come to pay her respects too early.
"Yes! Old lady!" Although Fang's mother was a little confused, she still responded with a smile.
Sure enough, it was not beyond the old lady's expectation. Although it was not until the third day of the morning, it was almost there. Only then did she see Sheng Hong holding the hand of the eldest lady Shen, with a happy and sweet look on his face, coming to the Shou'an Hall to pay his respects to the old lady.
"Mother, my son got up late! Please don't blame me!"
Seeing the happy smiles on the faces of Sheng Hong and Mrs. Shen, the old lady was also very happy.
She knew that Sheng Hong had been suppressing his thoughts for many years, so it would be better to be with Xiaodie.
Now seeing that Sheng Hong likes the eldest lady Shen so much, the old lady is of course very relieved.
"Haha, the master and the lady are so polite!"
Next, the eldest lady Shen, the new daughter-in-law, greeted the old lady present in a polite manner. After some greetings, Sheng Hong and the eldest lady Shen sat down.
"Madam, Your Majesty just granted Chengyuan as the new residence of the Sheng family some time ago.
It’s just that I have been busy recently to marry the eldest lady and you have not gone to clean up Chengyuan. From now on, this matter will be left to you!"
"Yes! Mother!
Ruyue heard that Chengyuan is next to the Gu family of Ningyuan Hou.
With the tense relationship between our Sheng family and the Gu family, won't it be unharmonious?" Madam Shen responded respectfully, while expressing her worries on the other side.
"this......"
"Haha, mother, madam, you don't need to worry too much!
Although the Gu family of Marquis Ningyuan is not a good neighbor, it is not a bad neighbor either!
Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai is also a measured person!" Before the old lady could say anything, Sheng Hong said with a disapproving smile.
"What I said makes sense!
Madam, don’t worry!
Even if the relationship with the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis is not good, we will just stop contacting each other in the future!" After hearing Sheng Hong's explanation, the old lady also said with a smile.
"Yes! Mother, officials, what you said makes sense!"
...
After a while, the three daughters of the Sheng family came to the Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to the old lady. Sheng Hong saw Minglan, and his heart moved, so he said to Minglan, "Minglan, please wait a moment, my father has something to say.
ask you!"
"Yes! Father!" The three daughters of the Sheng family all looked puzzled, and then Minglan said calmly.
After seeing Mo Lan and Ru Lan leave, Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Minglan, the leading heroine in the original drama, and said with a smile, "Minglan, my father is considering your marriage!
Now we have selected two suitable candidates for you, one is He Hongwen from the He family in Baishitan, whose ancestor was once a doctor in the imperial palace!"
"The other family is Qi Heng, the young master of Qi State in Tokyo. You and he studied together at the Sheng Family Private School before, so you should have some impressions of him!"
Hearing her father Sheng Hong's explanation, Minglan suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Then she couldn't help but think of the young Qi Heng from the past, and suddenly realized that she and Qi Heng had not been in contact for many years.
Looking at Sheng Minglan who remained silent and lowered her head in shame, Sheng Hong knew that Minglan was also very considerate of Qi Heng.
"Ming'er, what exactly are you thinking!
Tell daddy, eldest lady, and your grandmother!
Young Master Qi Heng has always been kind and reliable, and he will be sincere to you in the future.
It’s just that sometimes he is like a child who has not grown up, and he is stubborn in doing things, so you have to be mentally prepared tomorrow!"
"As for He Hongwen from the Tanhe family in Baishi, he is relatively mature in his behavior.
It’s just too old-fashioned and may seem boring sometimes!”
"Father, my daughter, it's up to you and the eldest lady to make the decision!" After hearing Sheng Hong's character analysis of Qi Heng and He Hongwen, he knew that his father Sheng Hong had put his heart into it, so he said shyly.
Hearing Sheng Minglan's answer, Sheng Hong, the old lady on the side, and the eldest lady Shen looked at each other with a smile, "In that case, you two should have some contact with each other!
Mother, in a few days, please take the eldest lady to the Duke of Qi’s residence for a visit!"
"Well! Don't worry, sir! I'll leave this matter to you and my wife!" the old lady agreed with a smile.
In fact, the eldest lady Shen can handle this matter alone, but Sheng Hong is worried that the eldest lady Shen is too young and will be more stable with the help of an old lady.
After all, the eldest lady, Mrs. Shen, is also an older child who is a new wife. It is impossible to understand many things. With the old lady's careful guidance, she will be able to handle housework in the future.
"Master, how did you arrange the matter of Mo Lan and Ru Lan?" The old lady asked about the other two daughters of the Sheng family.
"Huh? Mother, my son is thinking about their matters.
Let’s settle Minglan’s matter first!
After all, we need to come one by one, so don’t be too impatient!”
"Well! The master has a point!
Now the daughter of our Sheng family has no worries about getting married!" The old lady also said with a proud smile.
