"Hong Lang, I heard that Wei Chen came to our house today?" In Lin Qi Pavilion, Lin Sushuang brewed a cup of hot tea and brought it to Sheng Hong.
Several years have passed, but Lin Sushuang seems to have not aged much. Her face is still beautiful and her behavior is still charming.
"I just arrived not long ago. I should be at home school now." Sheng Hong took a sip of warm tea and answered casually.
"It turns out I went to a private school."
Lin Sushuang smiled sweetly: "Mo'er was always talking to me a few days ago, saying that Mr. Wei Xiao was busy with the provincial examination and the national examination, and he didn't have a moment to spare. Now that the national examination is over, it's time to visit the private school.
”
Seeing that Sheng Hong was just drinking tea and had no reaction, Lin Sushuang couldn't help but feel anxious secretly, and asked casually: "Wei Chen is also fifteen this year, right?"
Sheng Hong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I remember it was fourteen during the provincial examination, but now it's fifteen."
Both Android and Apple are available.】
Lin Sushuang moved lightly, sat down next to Sheng Hong, and said softly: "I just thought that at the age of fifteen, it is time to think about marriage. If I delay it for a few more years, I will wait until twenty.
It’s too late to talk about getting married when you’re older.”
No matter how stupid Sheng Hong was at this moment, he could tell that something was wrong in Lin Sushuang's words. He frowned and said, "Wei Chen's elders have to worry about his marriage. Why should you mind your own business?"
At this point, Lin Sushuang stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "Honglang, what do you think of us betrothing Mo'er to Wei Chen?"
Sheng Hong looked at Lin Sushuang in surprise: "Don't you always dislike Wei Chen? Why did you still promise Mo'er to him?"
Lin Sushuang shamelessly laughed twice: "One code means another code. Although Wei Chen does have some minor problems, his talent, learning and conduct are still good. How else could he win five yuan in a row?" p>
Sheng Hong gave Lin Sushuang a sideways glance: "Wei Chen was born in a poor family, aren't you afraid that Mo'er will suffer if you marry him?"
"What is poverty? Honglang, please stop teasing me."
Lin Sushuang said sweetly: "How comfortable Sister Wei is living in Qinyun Courtyard can be seen from all over the house."
Sheng Hong snorted, but did not deny it.
Outsiders may not know Wei Chen's net worth. After all, only a few people including Sheng Hong know about Wei Chen and Sheng Wei's joint winery. Wei Chen doesn't make much publicity on weekdays.
But Lin Sushuang and other Sheng family members are different. They only need to look at how Wei Shuyi lives to deduce how much Wei Chen is worth, and Sheng Hong can't hide it even if he wants to.
Sheng Hong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Mo'er is tall and beautiful, and is good at poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is my good daughter. But..."
Speaking of this, Sheng Hong suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It's just that Mo'er and Wei Chen are not compatible."
Lin Sushuang asked anxiously: "Mo'er has both talent and beauty, why is he not worthy?"
Sheng Hong said in a deep voice: "Did you know that after Wei Chenzhong learned about the Yuan Dynasty, the Qin family in Youyang sent people to come to marry him and wanted to marry the third daughter of the Qin family to Wei Chen?"
"The Qin family, is it the Qin family I know?"
Seeing Sheng Hong nodding slowly, Lin Sushuang couldn't help but take a breath.
The Qin family is the leading official family in Youyang.
Not to mention the old lady Qin who has been rooted in the officialdom for decades, has many old disciples, and retired as a second-rank official. He is the current head of the family, Qin Chuan, who is also the fourth-rank magistrate of Changzhou Prefecture, a proper official.
Whether it is the connections and influence in the officialdom, or the real power in their hands, the Qin family is much stronger than the Sheng family.
Such a family actually rushed to get married to Wei Chen. Lin Sushuang felt a little incomprehensible and hurriedly asked: "What's the result? Wei Chen is already engaged to the daughter of the Qin family?"
"No, Wei Chen refused. Do you know what Mrs. Qin said when she heard about this?"
"What did you say?"
"What a pity! What a pity! What a pity! Old Mrs. Qin said pity three times!"
Sheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "This is just when Wei Chenzhong learned about Yuan. Now Wei Chen has won Huiyuan again. He has won six yuan in a row. This is the first time since the imperial examination. It is also very promising. Bianjing City
There are countless wealthy families who want to recruit him as their son-in-law.
Why do you think Wei Chen suddenly came to my house today? It was just to avoid the matchmakers who came to propose marriage! Now you should understand why I said Mo'er is not good enough for Wei Chen, right?"
After listening to Sheng Hong's words, Lin Sushuang's face was full of shock. She didn't expect that Wei Chen, who in her opinion was just a decent person at best, was worth losing face in the eyes of those wealthy families.
The tree of Lingyun.
Sheng Hong's words were originally intended to dispel Lin Sushuang's wishful thinking, but she still didn't understand her concubine very well.
Who is Lin Sushuang? The more you know how popular Wei Chen is, the less likely you are to let go easily!
Previously, she only regarded Wei Chen as a future Jinshi with a rich family, so she could ignore the old rift with Wei Shuyi and ask Sheng Hong to promise Mo Lan to Wei Chen.
Now that she has discovered that Wei Chen's value far exceeds her initial expectations, of course she must seize this opportunity that can make their mother and daughter turn around.
Lin Sushuang has many years of profound acting skills. As soon as her emotions brew, she will burst into tears.
In just an instant, tears filled her eyes, and then she leaned on Sheng Hong as softly as a bone, and said plaintively: "Hong Lang! Mo'er is also your closest relative, you can't ignore her, your daughter's family will never be together for the rest of her life.
Just such a chance to make a comeback!"
Lin Sushuang cried bitterly, and her white jade-like fingers brushed across her cheeks, immediately hitting Sheng Hong's weak spot.
Sheng Hong was filled with pity, and quickly leaned over to pat the beauty's jade back, and comforted her softly: "When did I say I didn't care about Mo'er anymore? Marriage is a major matter that cannot be rushed. If the Wei family doesn't succeed, they can still find another wife.
The family belongs to the Li family, why hang yourself on this tree?"
But no matter what Sheng Hong said, Lin Sushuang was focused on Wei Chen and cried in Sheng Hong's arms.
At first, Sheng Hong couldn't bear it and tried to comfort her with kind words. It was obvious that Lin Sushuang didn't appreciate it at all. Sheng Hong gradually lost his patience. He snorted coldly, pushed Lin Sushuang aside, got up and went out.
.
Lin Sushuang was immediately dumbfounded. She had always been able to manipulate Sheng Hong. Even after Wei Shuyi gave birth, Sheng Hong became more distant from her, but Lin Sushuang still relied on various means to win over Sheng Hong's heart bit by bit.
Pulled back with a click.
This time, Lin Sushuang thought that as long as she pretended to be pitiful and shed a few tears, Sheng Hong would agree to marry Mo Lan, but she didn't expect that Sheng Hong would be so heartless and abandon her so cruelly.
She's gone!
Looking at Sheng Hong's retreating figure, Lin Sushuang wiped her face blankly. She no longer looked as charming as before. A fierce light appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said bitterly: "The child born from a common concubine is not your daughter? Why?
