In the main hall of Wei Ruixuan, a group of relatives of the Sheng family have been waiting here for a long time.
Sheng Hualan, Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, Sheng Changjin, Yuan Wenshao, and Hai Chaoyun were all in the hall, as well as Wang Ruoyu, the Kang family's aunt, who came to join in the fun.
Wei Chen took Ru Lan and Minglan to meet everyone in the hall one by one.
Wei Chen had known all the relatives present for a long time, but there was only one Wang Ruoyu, Aunt Kang, whom Wei Chen had met for the first time, so he was quite impressed.
But when I saw that Aunt Kang had a sharp and mean look on her face, she even smiled flatteringly when talking to Wei Chen. But when she turned to look at Ru Lan and Ming Lan, she immediately changed her face and showed off her elders' feelings.
She has a strong demeanor and a stern tone of voice, as if she is a serious mother-in-law.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other. Sheng Changbai and Sheng Hualan both frowned. What does it have to do with the Kang family when the daughter of the Sheng family comes home?
Sheng Hong, who was sitting at the top, looked even more ugly, and frequently glanced at Wang Ruofu beside him.
Wang Ruofu saw that his sister was taking the spotlight, and felt that his face was not bright. Coupled with the unkind eyes of the husband beside him, he coughed a few times, interrupted Aunt Kang who was chattering to the two Lans, and said
A few words to make up for the situation.
Wei Chen has long known that Aunt Kang is not a good person, and after seeing it with his own eyes today, he understands it even more.
What qualifications does a relative who can't fight have to point fingers at my wife, Wei Chen!
Wei Chen's impression of Aunt Kang was extremely bad. That is to say, Wang Ruofu managed to smooth things over in time. If the Sheng family did not come forward, Wei Chen would not be able to help but stand up to protect his wife. Not only would he scold Aunt Kang bloody
The Sheng family will have to follow suit.
Aunt Kang never paid much attention to Wang Ruofu, a younger sister. She still wanted to rely on her old age to show off her skills, so she went on to teach Ru Lan and Ming Lan a few words.
But when he caught a glimpse of Wei Chen, who had a gloomy face on the side, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he closed his mouth in a sullen voice.
Wei Chen snorted coldly, but did not get angry on the spot. After all, this was in the Sheng family, and he still had to save some face for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After a short interlude, everyone in the hall put on smiles again. Wei Chen took Ru Lan and Ming Lan to serve tea to the senior couple Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu.
Wang Ruofu held the tea cup and looked at Wei Chen with a smile: "My family is like Lan Minglan, have you not caused any trouble to the bachelor?"
When Wei Chen heard this, he glanced at Rulan Minglan, who was acting like a good baby next to him, and couldn't help but secretly cursed, there is no trouble, it's just that these two little girls love to be lazy.
The two sisters teamed up to work passively. One day's work had to be divided into two days, which made me less than half full every day. It was really depressing!
Of course, he still replied respectfully: "Ru Lan behaves elegantly, Minglan is gentle and respectful, my son-in-law is lucky enough to have such a beautiful wife."
After saying that, he silently glared at Rulan and Minglan who were standing aside.
When Ru Lan and Ming Lan saw Wei Chen's resentful eyes, they immediately guessed what he was really thinking, and it was very hard to hold back their laughter.
Wang Ruofu saw his daughter and son-in-law flirting with each other, but he didn't know there were so many hidden things inside. He just thought that the newlyweds were in a good relationship and were flirting, so he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Sheng Hong also stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Seeing you all getting married and establishing a career, my father will feel relieved."
Although the words were addressed to three people, Sheng Hong's eyes mostly fell on Wei Chen.
Ever since Wei Chen officially became the son-in-law of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong's eyes towards Wei Chen have become more and more amiable.
In the final analysis, it is because of Wei Chen’s status as a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy.
At present, the two most promising sons of the Sheng family, the second son Sheng Changbai is an Imperial Academy editor, and the third son Sheng Changfeng also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.
In the foreseeable few years to come, if nothing unexpected happens, the two sons of the Sheng family will continue to hang out in the Hanlin Academy.
As for Wei Chen, a bachelor who serves as a lecturer, although he is only from the fifth rank, his rank in the Hanlin Academy is ranked fifth. Only below a few veteran bachelors, he can be said to be a very important figure in the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, the lecturer also has an important responsibility, which is to teach the common people.
As the new lecturer, Wei Chen will most likely be assigned to teach the new Shuji scholars who enter the Hanlin Academy this year after taking up his duties.
Sheng Changfeng is inside.
Therefore, although Sheng Hong is the father-in-law, he is not very confident when facing Wei Chen, his new son-in-law. When he rarely shows off his majesty with a straight face, his tone of voice is usually very soft, with some hint of kindness and kindness.
To please.
After drinking the tea served by Wei Chen, Sheng Hong took Wei Chen and talked for a long time. If the servants from outside had not come to report that the food and wine were ready, Sheng Hong would have kept holding on to Wei Chen. The Sheng family has a large population, and today we have so many relatives here. Naturally, we cannot be as casual as the Wei family when dining. Instead, men and women sit separately, with the male guests outside and the female guests inside.
Wei Chen was dragged outside to have a drink by the brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng, while Ru Lan and Ming Lan were taken to the inner hall for a banquet by the girls.
In the inner hall, there was a round table of Ruyi black lacquered wood that was wide enough for seven or eight people to sit. After the wine and food were served, the ladies sat around eating and laughing.
Wang Ruofu took her daughter Rulan and sat beside her, and the mother and daughter talked quietly among themselves.
This table was full of married women. Naturally, everyone knew what kind of whispers the mother would whisper to her daughter on the day her married daughter came home, and they all winked and laughed when they saw it. p>
However, despite all the teasing, no one actually eavesdropped on the conversation between Ru Lan and her daughter. Only Aunt Kang, who was sitting on the other side of Wang Ruofu, kept her ears open and listened without any intention of actively avoiding them.<
/p>
Faintly hearing Ru Lan saying something like "Wild donkey... can't bear it..." when complaining to Wang Ruofu, Aunt Kang couldn't help curling her lips and interjecting without a look:
"Your new brother-in-law is not young anymore. Is it possible that there was no one in the room before? Why is he so eager to get married, like a young boy?"
Wang Ruofu raised his head, rolled his eyes and said, "Why, you still wish that my uncle had a bunch of goblins in his room before he got married?"
When Aunt Kang was at her parents' house, she was used to arrogating to Wang Ruofu. She subconsciously wanted to choke back, but when she thought that she was in the Sheng family, she somewhat restrained her arrogance and forced out an ugly smile.
"Aren't I afraid that my niece's body will be too long to bear?"
Aunt Kang looked at Ru Lan again, and imparted her experience in a tone of experience: "If it doesn't work out, just let your husband have a marriage partner! I think that little magpie next to you is good.
That girl is quite pretty, and she obeys your every word, so she will be easy to control in the future. Isn’t it just to have her by your side for so many years so that it comes in handy at this time?"
Wang Ruofu was still very angry when she heard Aunt Kang say that she wanted Wei Chen to take a concubine, but as she listened, she felt a little shaken.
Especially when he heard Aunt Kang say that the little magpie had been raised by Ru Lan's side since she was a child, and was obedient and easy to control, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but feel moved.
No matter how nice Wang Ruofu said, she still felt distant and distant from Rulan and Minglan in her heart. It could even be said that she was always on guard against Minglan.
In Wang Ruofu's heart, Minglan, a concubine with a sworn destiny, posed a much greater threat to his daughter than the likes of Little Magpie.
Now my daughter Rulan can't feed her uncle enough. If Minglan, a concubine, takes advantage of the situation, with her appearance and ability, who knows whether she will be the next Lin Sushuang?
Wang Ruofu had suffered enough from Lin Sushuang in the past few years, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer the same pain as herself after she got married.
After much deliberation, it seems that as Aunt Kang said, it is most cost-effective to let the obedient little magpie fill Wei Chen's room.
Wang Ruofu quietly glanced at Minglan across the table, turned to Rulan and said: "Ru'er, if we just listen to your aunt, you can suffer less..."
