Chapter 79 Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger
Linqi Pavilion.
In the main room, Sheng Hong sat with his head high, and beside him, a woman lowered her head and concentrated on making tea for him.
This woman has a delicate face and a figure like a weak willow Fufeng. Every frown and smile is full of charm. She is Sheng Hong's favorite concubine, Lin Sushuang.
Lin Sushuang was gentle and served the brewed tea. Sheng Hong picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. It was his favorite heat. He closed his eyes comfortably and savored the aroma of the tea.
Lin Sushuanglian walked slowly and sat next to Sheng Hong, her head slowly resting on his shoulder.
"Honglang~~~"
Her voice is gentle and charming, enough to make a man lose more than half of his bones.
Sheng Hong couldn't help but loosen his eyebrows, and was about to reach out to wrap his arms around Lin Sushuang to give her some warmth, when he suddenly saw tears glistening in Lin Sushuang's eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Lin Sushuang blinked and looked at Sheng Hong with tears in her eyes: "Master, what did Shuang'er do wrong to make you angry?"
Sheng Hong was confused and asked quickly: "Where do we start talking about this?"
"Then why did the Lord send so many more people to Qinyun Court, but didn't discuss it with me, the housekeeper, in advance?"
So that’s what happened!
Sheng Hong suddenly realized.
Pretending to beep is fun, but the mess it leaves behind is troublesome.
In fact, Sheng Hong had already been mentally prepared for this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came out of Qinyun Courtyard, he went straight to Linqi Pavilion. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Sushuang had already heard the news.
Sheng Hong naively thought that it was the dozen or so servants who made too much noise when they went to Qinyun Court, which attracted the attention of the government and everyone knew about it.
But he didn't know that the boy beside him had long been bribed by Lin Sushuang with a lot of money, and his every move was under Lin Sushuang's control.
Sheng Hong was still thinking about how to explain to Lin Sushuang, but Lin Sushuang had already put the house keys on the table, knelt down on the ground, wiped her tears and cried to Sheng Hong. p>
"Shuang'er was originally a helpless person, and it was all thanks to the Lord's mercy that I am what I am today. Since the Lord feels that Shuang'er is not managing the house well, please ask the Lord to take back the power of the housekeeper, so that I can relax.
”
"Shuang'er, why are you doing this?"
Sheng Hong was horrified and quickly leaned over to help Lin Sushuang: "The old lady has always ignored things. The eldest lady has been busy arranging Hualan's wedding these days and has no time to spare. There are many trivial matters at home. Only you, Shuang'er, can take care of my worries. You
How can you bear to abandon me and ignore me!"
Lin Sushuang leaned on Sheng Hong's shoulder and sobbed: "I am just a concubine. The power of the housekeeper is to serve the public. This time, the Lord sent so many servants to Sister Forgiveness's courtyard. I didn't know it at all beforehand.
If the people below see it, how can they obey me in the future?"
"This..."
Sheng Hong couldn't help but look embarrassed. He had indeed done something wrong in this matter. He was so praised by Wei Chen that he made the decision immediately. Looking back at it now, he felt regretful in his heart.
If Wang Ruofu was still the housekeeper, Sheng Hong wouldn't care too much. The worst he could do would be to have another big quarrel. Sheng Hong was already used to it.
But now it happens that the housekeeper Lin Sushuang, his beloved, is the housekeeper, which gives Sheng Hong a headache.
Sheng Hong looked at Lin Sushuang, who was crying pitifully, and saw that she was wearing a thin dark blue plain dress, her waist was full, and she seemed to be much thinner than before.
Probably because I have been busy with housekeeping these days and have so many trivial matters that I am too tired.
When Sheng Hong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He held Lin Sushuang in his arms and comforted her with gentle words.
But to appease is to appease, it is absolutely impossible to ask Sheng Hong to take back his life. Sheng Hong just sent the person away in front of Wei Chen, and then turned around and broke his promise. Then where should he put the face of the Sheng family?
When it comes to important matters involving appearance, Sheng Hong is very clear about it and will not be easily shaken just because Lin Sushuang sheds a few tears.
Therefore, Sheng Hong only assured Lin Sushuang that during Lin Sushuang's stewardship, he would discuss with Lin Sushuang in advance any matters involving the internal affairs. Moreover, if Lin Sushuang managed it well, he would continue to manage it in the future.
It’s not impossible.
As for the current problem of the excessive staffing of Qinyun Courtyard, Sheng Hong also expressed his position and allowed Lin Sushuang to select some of the best female envoys from Qinyun Courtyard to join Linqi Pavilion as compensation. p>
All in all, everything remains the same as the status quo. Although Lin Sushuang will feel a little aggrieved now, the benefits will definitely be great in the future.
For Lin Sushuang, this result is not perfect, but she is a smart person and knows when to give up when the situation is good, so even if she is unwilling, she can only press it for now.
Now I put away my tears, cheered up, used all my housekeeping skills, and devoted myself to being gentle with Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong lingered in Lin Sushuang's place to warm the fragrance of the soft jade for a long time, and then went straight to Wei Ruixuan. He had already made up his mind to solve the troubles on both ends at the same time, so as not to cause any nonsense. p>
He came to the main room of Wei Ruixuan and retreated, leaving only the couple talking in the room.
After Sheng Hong explained what happened in Qinyun Courtyard today, Wang Ruofu said expressionlessly: "You are the head of the family, you can do whatever you want, how dare I say anything wrong!
”
Sheng Hong took a deep breath, resisted the urge to roll up his sleeves and go out, and said in a deep voice: "Who do you think I am doing this for? Is it not for Brother Bo's future?"
Wang Ruofu was slightly shocked in his heart, but he still refused to forgive: "Come on, Bai'er went to Youyang to take the exam. He has been there for more than half a year, and I haven't seen you ask a question."
"Bai'er is already fifteen years old, and he is a scholar. It is time for him to be independent and self-reliant. Why do you need me as a father to interfere with everything? Forget it, I won't tell you this today."
Although Sheng Hong was annoyed by Wang Ruofu's nonsense, he still tried to calm down when he thought of his son Chang Bai. He sat next to Wang Ruofu and whispered softly: "Bai'er is so ambitious. In the final analysis, you are a well-educated mother.
If Baier is named on the gold medal list in the future, you will also have done a great job, and I know all of this in my heart."
"It's so good, what are you talking about?"
Wang Ruofu pretended to be angry, but he felt sweet in his heart, and his expression softened a lot: "What did you say about Qinyun Courtyard have to do with Bai'er?"

Sheng Hong said slowly: "I do it for Wei Chen. Of course, the most important thing is for Wei Chen's teacher, Mr. Qingteng Zhuang Jun."
"Zhuang Jun?" Wang Ruofu frowned and said, "Didn't the old lady already promise that she would write to invite him to teach in the Sheng family after the new year? Why should we try to please a junior again?"
Sheng Hong asked: "Zhuang Jun is famous all over the world. Many scholars in Zhou Dynasty want to be in his name but can't. Do you dare to guarantee that this letter from the old lady can persuade him?"
"This..." Wang Ruofu said hesitantly: "Didn't it mean that Zhuang Jun is a subordinate of the old marquis, and the two have an irreconcilable relationship? The old lady is the only daughter of the old marquis. Zhuang Jun does not look at the monk's face, but he has to look at the Buddha's face, right?
?Besides, judging from the old lady’s tone, she is very determined!”
"As time goes by, people's hearts will change. Although the old lady and Zhuang Jun are old friends, they haven't contacted each other for many years. Who knows what the other party's attitude is?"
Sheng Hong explained earnestly: "Wei Chen, on the other hand, is Zhuang Jun's only disciple, so he must be highly valued by Zhuang Jun. If he can pass a few words in front of Zhuang Jun, it may be more useful than the old lady's old friend.
.Now I am only sending a few servants, but as long as I can hire a master for Baier, it will be worth sending twice as many."
Only then did Wang Ruofu understand Sheng Hong's painstaking efforts. It turned out that her husband deliberately made friends with Wei Chen for the sake of Changbai's future. He couldn't help but feel tender in his heart, and felt ashamed that he had given Sheng Hong a slap in the face before.<

Sheng Hong put his arms around Wang Ruofu's waist and stroked it gently: "The beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans. You are our lady, and you should know that everything is based on the prosperity and decline of the family, honor and disgrace, and everything else is vain." Wang Ruofu hadn't been intimate with Sheng Hong for a long time. After being touched by him a few times, his body and mind softened, and his words sounded like a little bird caressing her.
