Chapter 018 The prejudice in peoples hearts is a big mountain(1/2)
"There's one more thing you need to do as soon as possible!"
Sheng Hong hurriedly bowed and raised his hands, and said respectfully: "Please give me your instructions, mother!"
"Mr. Wei gave birth to children for you and continued the prosperity of the Sheng family. She almost died. This is a great achievement and cannot be ignored. I will ask your daughter-in-law to go back to your hometown in Youyang someday and write the name of the Wei family into the Sheng family's genealogy. above."
Sheng Hong's heart trembled, and he immediately said: "What the mother said is absolutely true, it was the son who was negligent!"
Mrs. Sheng waved her hand and began to see off the guests, "Okay, it's getting late and I'm tired too!"
Sheng Hong was still very respectful: "Then mother, have a good rest, my son has resigned!"
A few days later, Wang Zhong invited a matchmaker with generous gifts and came to visit Sheng Hong and the Wang family again. He formally asked Sheng Hong and the Wang family to marry Minglan. Sheng Hong happily agreed and took out his daughter's horoscope and sent it to Yuqing Temple outside the city to ask the real person to calculate it. Good times and auspicious days.
These are the three rites of Nacai, Asking for Names and Naji among the Three Books and Six Etiquettes.
Then there is the wedding ceremony, also known as the big gift. Simply put, the man selects an auspicious day and gifts to get engaged to the bride.
Then there are the invitations and personal greetings, which together form the six rites in the Three Books and Six Etiquettes.
In the city of Tokyo, countless people were eyeing Wang Zhong and wanted to marry him and marry their daughter to Wang Zhong. Naturally, Wang Zhong's request to marry the sixth daughter of the Sheng family could not be hidden from everyone.
Especially when everyone knew that the sixth daughter of the Sheng family was just a concubine, countless princes, nobles and nobles scolded Wang Zhong for being ignorant and would rather marry a concubine from a fifth-rank official family than a concubine. A noble girl from a noble family is his wife.
However, in the clear stream of civil servants, Wang Zhong was willing to give up his bright future and marry the concubine of the Sheng family in order to repay the kindness of the Sheng family. However, this attracted the collective approval of the civil servant group. What kind of repayment of gratitude? He values love and righteousness, has noble conduct, does not bend his back for five buckets of rice, and has the integrity of Mr. Wu Liu. In an instant, he became famous.
Word even spread from the palace, and even Emperor Jiayou was full of praise for Wang Zhong's repayment of kindness, praising the king for his love and justice and his noble character.
Emperor Jiayou had spoken, but the key word was spread from the palace, which is worth pondering.
Those who originally had a grudge against Wang Zhong because he wanted to marry the sixth daughter of the Sheng family, and thought that Wang Zhong was ignorant and looked down on them, all stopped and did not dare to say anything more.
After the three rituals of nacai, wenming and naji, Wang Zhong sent all the business account books he had cooperated with Sheng Wei to the Sheng family and handed them over to Mrs. Sheng's hands.
With Mrs. Sheng, a smart, capable and selfless strong woman to help him take care of his family's property, Sheng Wei would only manage it with great care, and with Mrs. Sheng's help, Wang Zhong would start from these. Completely detached from worldly affairs.
This is no better than marrying someone who doesn't know her family background. She may use her own money back to supplement her parents' family at any time. What's worse, if she meets someone as stupid as Mrs. Wang, she will be encouraged by her parents' family to do things like loan sharking. Isn’t the matter about the tomb causing trouble for yourself?
Wang Zhong's property is not many. The fields, breeding farms, and oil mills of Xiaozhu Village in Yangzhou. Until now, after one year, after all expenses are considered, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars in income. There is also Wangjiang in Yangzhou who is making money every day. building.
In addition to these, there are also yarn mills and cloth mills jointly opened in Jinling and Shengwei. Last year, the revenue was several thousand yuan. Now the scale of the yarn mills and cloth mills has expanded a lot. Sheng Wei is also preparing to cooperate with Wang We will cooperate with each other to set up a workshop specializing in manufacturing and selling spinning machines and looms.
Wang Zhong and Baishui Academy are responsible for manufacturing and researching, while Sheng Wei and his company are responsible for selling, with both parties sharing 30/70.
Although Wang Zhong's properties are not many, and most of them are related to Sheng Wei, there are many things to do. Now that Mrs. Sheng, a strong woman, is helping to manage them, Wang Zhong only needs to make suggestions from time to time, which saves him a lot of effort.
These industries are the guarantee for maintaining the current life and even a high-quality life in the future.
After finally coming to this world, Wang Zhong certainly wanted to experience a life where he could hold out his hands with clothes and open his mouth with food. He would not be obsessed with life, but also be carefree and carefree, spend money like water, and not be burdened by money.
Speaking of the Sheng family, we have to mention Lin Sushuang. When she was in Yangzhou, due to the incident between Wei Shuyi and Chang Dong, Lin Sushuang was once thrown into the cold palace by Sheng Hong and was confined to Lin Qige. She did not go there for many days. visit.
But as time went by, seeing that both Chang Dong and Wei Shu were fine, Sheng Hong's grudge against Lin Sushuang was gradually overwhelmed by his love.
It has only been half a year since Lin Sushuang was banned for making a mistake in Yangzhou last year. Although Sheng Hong has not lifted Lin Sushuang's ban, he had already started going to Lin Qige a few months ago.
Now, although Chang Feng still lives with Chang Bai, Mo Lan has moved back to Linqige.
It has to be said that Lin Sushuang held Sheng Hong tightly. Although she could not see Sheng Hong, Mo Lan could. Although Mo Lan was not old, she had been taught by Lin Sushuang's words and deeds since she was young. Although his methods are still very immature, in front of Sheng Hong who loves her and cares about Lin Sushuang, he has tried everything, and as long as he takes action, he will always succeed.
Wang Ruofu gritted his teeth angrily and almost took a group of female servants with loud voices to yell at Linqi Pavilion.
After Minglan learned about this, she was extremely sad and angry. Her biological mother was still being raised in Yangzhou and had not fully recovered yet, but her father and the culprit who murdered her biological mother and younger brother began to have a close relationship with each other again.
This is not something that in the original plot, Lin Sushuang could get over with just a few words, confusing right and wrong, and then pulling down Wang Ruofu, a person who was determined to promote it.
At that time, Wang Zhong specially asked General Gu to invite Old Mrs. Sheng back from Yuqing Temple outside the city. Old Mrs. Sheng was personally in charge. How could Lin Sushuang hide what she thought was an extremely hidden trick from Sheng? old lady.
Catch those who deserve, beat those who deserve, drag out a few of Lin Sushuang's die-hard loyalists to scare the monkeys, and then divide and recruit them, coerce and induce, but in just one day, Old Mrs. Sheng has everything sorted out. The witnesses and testimonies were all compiled very clearly. The things Lin Sushuang did were already confirmed and could not be revealed by her clever words and wanton clinging.
Naturally, Minglan already knew the truth, and she no longer had to spend all her time investigating and trying her best to hide it from Lin Sushuang's eyes and ears like in the original plot.
But Minglan clearly knows the truth, but she has nothing to do. She is still just a child. Sheng Hong is her father and the head of the family. He often treats Old Mrs. Sheng in both cover and cover, and he promises well, but when it comes to Lin Qige, Things on the side, but never come to fruition.
Although Old Mrs. Sheng wants to deal with Lin Sushuang, apart from this scourge of chaos in the family, Sheng Hong is the head of the family. If Old Mrs. Sheng insists on doing this, I am afraid that the mother and son will be at odds from now on. It is a real unrest at home, and now we are in Tokyo, and every move is in the eyes of others. If we don't protect him, there will be someone who hates Sheng Hong in his heart. If he impeaches Sheng Hong with a memorial, that is the real trouble.
Time flies, and it has been three months since Gu Er left Tokyo.
On this day of rest, Mrs. Sheng took Minglan to the village outside the city to relax. When Wang Zhong found out, he pulled Chang Bai and chased her.
"Old lady! Young Master! The horses are ready!" A middle-aged man dressed as a steward bowed and walked quickly to a few people and said.
Several people looked in the direction pointed by Zhuangtou, and saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old walking over, leading a pony that was green and brown, with only the back of its neck and tail red.
The steward smiled and introduced: "This little mare was specially found according to the old lady's instructions. It has a docile temperament and is suitable for practicing riding skills!"
Wang Zhong walked over quickly and looked around the pony, paying special attention to the skin color, ears, limbs and tail. Finally, he stopped in front of the horse's head and stared at the horse's eyes for a while, with a smile on his face.
"This is a prairie pony. It has a docile temperament and excellent endurance. It is a good horse!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Minglan who was next to Mrs. Sheng: "It's just right for a beginner like Sixth Sister!"
Recently, Sheng Hong got rid of Lin Sushuang's confinement and stayed in Lin Qige for more than half a month. Minglan couldn't figure it out. It was inevitable that she would have a grudge in her heart, and her mood would naturally not get better.
It just so happened that the pony that Mrs. Sheng specially sent to look for for Minglan arrived, and that's how the group came to the village today.
"But a good horse needs a good saddle! Sixth sister has a horse, but she still needs a suitable saddle!"
Minglan is only nine years old now, and is short in stature. The ordinary saddle is naturally not friendly to her short legs. Wang Zhong had already learned from the old lady Sheng that the old lady was going to teach Minglan how to ride and play, so he asked someone to prepare it early. Got a saddle.
Yu Chuer smiled and took out the saddle and put it on the pony's back.
Although it is said to be a pony, it is actually not too small in size. The physical size and height of a horse over two years old are almost the same as those of an adult horse. However, the muscles and bones have not yet fully grown and cannot adapt to high-intensity use and work. Cycling, but it can be used for practice.
"Thank you, brother Wang Zhong!" Minglan said with a smile. Since she followed the old lady to the village, she has been out of sight and out of mind, and her mood has indeed improved a lot.
Wang Zhongdao: "I'll help you lead the horse. Let's ride it for a while to get used to it!"
"Okay!" Minglan agreed without waiting for Mrs. Sheng to say anything. Minglan trusted Wang Zhong from the bottom of her heart. Since Wang Zhong rescued her biological mother and brother in Yangzhou last time, this time The trust has already reached the point where it cannot be increased.
"I'll help you mount your horse first!"
"I'm sorry, brother Wang Zhong!"
The two came to the side of the pony. Wang Zhong leaned over and grabbed Minglan's waist, letting Minglan step on the stirrup. Then he turned over and sat on the saddle, letting Minglan hold on to the bulge in the front of the saddle.
Wang Zhong took the reins from the young boy and pulled the horse to walk slowly on the meadow.
"How do you feel?" Wang Zhong turned around and asked with a smile.
Minglan nodded: "Not bad!"
When he was in Yangzhou last time, Wang Zhong took Minglan on a galloping horse, from the hospital all the way to Sheng's home. Although he was worried about the safety of his biological mother and young brother at the time, the feeling of riding a horse was the first time in Minglan's life. It left an impression
Naturally profound.
"How about I take Sixth Sister for a ride?" Wang Zhong said suddenly.
"Okay!" Minglan said with a smile.
Chang Bai, who was next to him, had just come over and happened to hear the conversation between the two. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Zhong had already climbed onto his horse and sat behind Minglan. He clamped the horse's legs with his legs, shook the reins in his hands, and the horse was already running away.
Got out.
Now that Wang Zhong and Ming Lan's marriage has been decided, and Ming Lan is not very old, he didn't even say anything to the old lady. The two of them were close, so the servants around the old lady would naturally not comment.
After all, this is Mrs. Sheng's village, and the people in the village will naturally not say much.
Only Chang Bai, looking at Wang Zhong and Minglan who were so close on horseback, felt a little unnatural in their handsome, fair, angular faces.
However, he could only comfort himself in his heart by saying that Wang Zhong was doing this for the safety of his sixth sister, so that he could adapt to riding horses quickly!
Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Chang Bai's face and said: "In today's world, it is difficult for women. Since your sixth sister has been engaged to Prince Hou, she will become a member of the Wang family in the future. She is still young now, so she is so carefree.
There are only a few days left."
"Besides, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to worry about all the red tape."
Hearing what his grandmother said, Chang Bai was stunned for a moment, then his face returned to normal, and he clasped his hands to Mrs. Sheng and said, "Grandma is right! My grandson is too pedantic."
"You are good at everything, but you are too old!" Mrs. Sheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart when she looked at this grandson who was coveted by the whole family.
Although Chang Bai and these children are not related by blood to Old Mrs. Sheng, after so many years of getting along day and night, Old Mrs. Sheng has long regarded Chang Bai and others as her biological grandchildren. However, Old Mrs. Sheng has a cold face and a kind heart, and she was raised in
Lin Sushuang, who had been with Sheng Hong for many years, but had secretly communicated with Sheng Hong, was heartbroken, resulting in a situation where Sheng Hong doted on Lin Sushuang. She felt that she could not bear Wang Ruofu, so she locked herself in Shou'an Hall.
He lived a quiet and quiet life, not caring about foreign affairs, but he still loved his grandchildren, such as Changbai and Hualan.
Even though Mrs. Sheng had a grudge against Lin Sushuang's children, she did not show any displeasure. After all, the children were innocent.
"You should learn this from Zihou!" Mrs. Sheng said with emotion as she looked at the two men galloping on their horses.
Changbai said with deep approval: "Zihou is steady and down-to-earth in his actions, but his temperament is a little free and unrestrained, and he doesn't stick to trivial matters. He is indeed not as good as his grandson!"
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Wang Zhong had already returned with Minglan for a test drive.
Dangji took Changbai and rode together to play.
Changbai stays at home all day long, either studying with Zhuang Xuexue in the school, or hiding in the study to practice calligraphy and review. He rarely goes out. If Wang Zhong hadn't pulled him out today, he would probably still be studying at home this time.
Woolen cloth.
Unfortunately, there was no place for hunting on the farm. After the two of them drove around, they ordered someone to set up a draft target and practice archery.
Changbai didn't know how to shoot arrows, but due to Wang Zhong's influence, although he was only familiar with it, he had already dabbled in all six Confucian arts. Although he was not proficient in fencing and archery, he often practiced it, and even looked at the body shape.
