A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 639 The future mother-in-law is too enthusiastic, a little bit overwhelmed
"Father, these maids are all from Fourth Sister's courtyard, so they naturally talk to her." Seeing that the scumbag's father seemed calm and ready to let Mo Lan go, Ru Lan was not willing to point at Mo Lan's maids. Said, "Ask a few of them together, and they can all conspire to confess. No one can tell anything!"

"Daddy, it's my daughter who made a mistake! You shouldn't have gone to a secluded place today. You shouldn't have caused trouble and made Daddy angry and worried." Mo Lan looked at her father with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "It's all because of my daughter's unfilial piety, please Daddy punish!" After finishing speaking, 'Bengbengbeng' kowtowed three times.

Three heavy kowtows made Sheng Hong a little distressed. Out of the three daughters, he has always loved Xiao Si the most, and immediately made a decision, "Mo'er, although what happened today was not your original intention, spreading it out will also damage the Sheng family. Reputation. If you are punished for copying the 'Rules for Women' and 'Precepts for Women' a hundred times each, you will be banned for a month, are you convinced?"

Ru Lan couldn't help jumping, the scumbag is too partial!

Mo Lan did such a disgraceful thing, so she was punished the size of a fingernail.

She was about to cry out for injustice, when Sheng Hong's majestic and cold eyes glanced at her suddenly. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed her little daughter and motioned her to shut up and not speak.

Ru Lan hid behind her mother, scolding in her heart that her scumbag father was biased, Mo Lan was shameless and shameless
Lin Xige

"Mo'er, tell Aniang how your chat with the third son was going today?" Lin Xiaoniang asked eagerly after returning to her yard, pulling her daughter.

Mo Lan said angrily, "I just met the third son today, and before we had a few words, I was thrown a stone by Ru Lan, who almost hit my forehead. Fortunately, the third son blocked it with a fan. I'm afraid Rulan called someone, and immediately separated from the third son."

Sheng Changfeng, who was eating bananas boredly, was very surprised when he heard the conversation between his mother and younger sister, "My younger sister and that kid Xu Kunxuan have known each other for a long time? Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Mo Lan glanced at her own brother, and said with disgust, "You don't know the third son well. I won't be able to help you if I tell you."

Sheng Changfeng said angrily, "You didn't even mention it, how do you know I can't help?"

Seeing that the pair of children were about to choke again, Lin Xiaoniang hurriedly interrupted, "Stop arguing! I heard that Han Guogong and King Yong are walking closer, and you are doing things with Qin Guogong. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you, so let Mo'er Don't tell you."

Sheng Changfeng swallowed half of the banana, and threw down the banana peel in his hand, "Mother, who did you hear the news from? The Korean government has given us loan sharks for generations, and if you have milk, your mother is the master. No matter King Yong or King Yan, they will leave Pretty close.

I haven't dealt with Xu Kunxuan that much, but I've heard a lot about him. "

Lin Xiaoniang regained her spirits and asked her son to talk about it.

"Xu Kunxuan's Fifth Uncle, Madam, you know, a well-known dandy in the entire capital, who is proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. In fact, the males in their family are almost the same regardless of their concubines, but they are not as high-profile as Xu Kunxuan's Fifth Uncle.

The whole family is full of such people, how can Xu Kunxuan be any better?I heard that this kid now has more than 10 Guangtong rooms, and he often goes to Goulan Washe, and seems to have several outhouses, but I don’t know if he has any children.”

"Brother, you're lying." Mo Lan stared round her eyes and said, "I have met the third young master three times, and they are all very honest. It's not as bad as you said."

Sheng Changfeng sneered and said,

"Be honest!?! My good sister! What good does it do for me to lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Xueniang to go out and inquire carefully. What I'm talking about is not a secret, and no one in the noble circle knows."

Seeing that her daughter's face was a bit ugly, Lin Xiaoniang persuaded, "At the age of the third son, it is human nature to admire Shaoai if you know lust. Aren't all the honorable children in the capital like this, which one has never been ridiculous, which one Don't go to Goulan Washe.

Even those sons of scholar-bureaucrat families are all like dogs, and there are countless people who beat the three sons. "

Mo Lan said: "My little father-in-law hasn't opened a room yet, and he hasn't been to any place with fireworks."

Sheng Changfeng curled his lips, if all the maids in his room were Chunlan Xiazhu, he would be able to get out of the mud without being stained.

"It's just a little prince. Look at your elder brother, and the big house. He pretends to be a gentleman all day long, and looks like a womanizer. If he doesn't, he can't help accepting the house," Lin Xiaoniang said. Looking at her daughter, she said, "Mo'er, there is no cat in this world who doesn't steal. The most important thing now is to marry into the Duke's mansion, to win for Aniang and yourself, and let Wei Ruixuan's mother and daughter see, Only those who are not from the direct line can marry into the Duke's mansion. As for those Yingying and Yanyan, when you become a big lady, you will just clean it up casually."

Sheng Molan nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I will definitely be able to marry into the Duke's Mansion!"

Seeing that his younger sister was persuaded by his mother, Sheng Changfeng immediately became anxious, "Mother, the reputation of this Korean government has long been stigmatized. No decent family would marry their own girl into it. Father will definitely not agree to this matter."

"Feng'er, after the exam is over, your father will definitely ask you about your homework, so why don't you go to review your homework!" Lin Xiaoniang got up and kicked her son out of the house, wanting Mo'er to marry some cripple all day long.A duke and a marquis, a fool knows how to choose. As for the reputation of the Korean duke, Lin Xiaoniang said twice, and the reputation is a p in her eyes.

Back then, she wanted fame, but she didn't have the wealth she has today. According to Mrs. Sheng, she would definitely arrange for her to marry a hard-working poor scholar or poor student, and then stay for more than ten or twenty years, praying that her own officials can pass the exam Jinshi, by the time the officials pass the Jinshi exam, she will be old and frail.

The next day, early morning.

In the study room of King Yan's Mansion, King Yan grabbed the butler and said in shock, "Is he really dead? King Yong is really dead?!"

The big butler said with a happy face, "Congratulations, congratulations to the lord. We arranged the inside line of Yongwang's mansion, and the news just came back.

In the middle of the night last night, King Yong died on the couch. It is said that he died immediately! "

Immediate wind, also known as "sudden death in the housing market", is called "off syndrome" in Chinese medicine.Symptoms: Red rings on the palms, red tendons on the palms, and rings on the palms.If the circle is closed, life will be over!

Da Luo Jinxian is also weak in recovery.

In ancient times, on the day when a girl left the pavilion, her parents gave her a silver hairpin, which can be said to have a deep meaning.When the wind blows, the side that has nothing to do must not panic, suddenly interrupt the truce and settle the matter, no, it is dead!

For the one who is safe, hug the stroke party tightly, maintain the original posture, and use a silver hairpin to pierce the Changqiang and Renzhong acupoints with fine needles, or press the aforesaid two acupoints again with your fingernails.

Critical patients, combined with artificial respiration, may be saved.Don't be shy and ugly, you must shout loudly: "Come on, come on! Someone is dying, help me..."

"Good! Good! Good!" Yan Wang looked up to the sky and laughed. Every time the old stallion Yong Wang met him, he would pretend to lament that his son made too much noise and his head hurt. He envied that he only had one son. I want to shake people and kill this old bastard, "Those who are good at swimming will drown, those who are good at riding will fall, and each will do what he likes. Hahaha~! I didn't expect this old bastard to die on the woman Dupi! When Fu Yi Dabai! Changsong, set up the wine! Quickly set up the wine!"

Great Song Palace, Daning Palace
"Your Majesty, Da Zong Zhenghe asked the Secretary of the Imperial City to see him urgently." The chief eunuch reported in a low voice.

Today's officials frowned slightly. It was early in the morning and they hadn't eaten breakfast yet. It must be a bad thing for these two to rush over.

"Let's meet Da Zongzheng first."

"See Your Majesty," Dazong Zheng Danyang County King entered the palace, saluted the officials, hesitated a little, and finally bit the bullet and informed the emperor of King Yong's death.

Hearing the absurd death of "immediate wind", the emperor was so angry that he couldn't help coughing a few times. The chief eunuch at the side hurried forward, helped him to sit up, and helped him to calm down.

After a while, the official wanted to curse a few words.

What a shame!

The majestic Prince Song, a strong contender for the reserve position, lost his life in this way. He could imagine that the whole capital must be very lively now.

No matter in what era, things between men and women are the most popular, and the speed of transmission is so fast that light waves can only follow behind and eat ashes.If the identity of the parties is combined with rights, it will definitely cause a national discussion.

What's more, this time the male protagonist is the top dignitary in the Song Dynasty.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to scold King Yong, the emperor suddenly sighed lightly, everyone is dead, so what if he scolded King Yong.

He waved his hand to let Da Zong deal with it according to the usual practice.

After Da Zong was about to retire, the emperor asked his own spy chief to promote Zhang Maoze, the Secretary of the Imperial City, into the palace.

"Slave Zhang Maoze, pay homage to Your Majesty." A middle-aged man about 40 years old, about seven feet tall, with a broad face, fair handsome, and straight eyes, came to the emperor, and after a deep salute, he said sharply.

The emperor nodded slightly and motioned him to get up, "What's the matter so early?"

Zhang Maoze's answer was not what the officials expected, it was exactly what Da Zong was saying just now.But he is a professional, and he talks in much more detail than Da Zongzheng.

He told everything that King Yong had done in the past week.

What did you eat for the three meals a day, which concubine's room you entered every night, what time the incident happened last night, the scene when it was discovered, etc.

As for King Yong's plan against Wang Lidong, the conflict that happened in the west of the city yesterday afternoon, etc., he felt that it had nothing to do with King Yong's death, so there was no need to tell His Majesty what to worry about.

The emperor took a sip of hot tea and said, "According to what you said, King Yong has been preparing for the anthology recently. He didn't have any conflicts with anyone. The death this time was purely accidental, with no influence involved?"

Zhang Maoze nodded very seriously and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Recently, all the princes and clan sons in the capital are still safe?"

Zhang Maoze replied: "Most of them are busy with the assessment of the imperial prince's anthology. Yan Wang's big steward and Fu Changbo's (Concubine Rong's) big steward drank together in Cuiyun Building three days ago. Wei Guogong (the son of King Yong) five days ago Formerly participated in Commander Heng (Boss of the guards and army Ma Junsi), son-in-law and third son's full moon wine, the king of Danyang County."

After a stick of incense, after Zhang Maoze finished his report, the emperor asked, "Where is Qi Heng, what have you been up to lately?"

Zhang Maoze replied: "In the past week, Qi Heng has been busy with the preparations for the 'Sihai Bank', and spent the rest of the time studying for homework and preparing for the exam."

The Chief of Staff moved closer to the emperor, "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."

The emperor said, "Let's eat here, and give Maoze one too."

Zhang Maoze bowed hurriedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

When the breakfast was served, the official took a deep-fried dough stick and took two bites, "Maoze, tell me about the 'Sihai Bank'."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Maoze told the current officials everything he knew, the emperor thought for a while, and said, "'Four Seas Bank' keep an eye on the matter of cotton, how is Qi Heng preparing?" gone?"

"All the land needed to grow cotton has been prepared. It cost 698 million guan and bought 221 million mu of land. These farms are mainly distributed on 3rd Road and Jingdong Road."

An hour later, the Four Seas Trading Company.

"Young Master, the news from Zhang Tiju, the Secretary of the Imperial City." Fu Gui handed over an envelope, Wang Lidong opened it, and read it carefully. It was the record of the conversation between the Emperor and Zhang Maoze in the Daqing Palace not long ago.

At the end, this guy made a small request, wanting to take a stake in 'Sihai Bank'.

Wang Lidong immediately wrote a reply letter.It is no problem to participate in the shares. When the bank develops to a certain scale, it will be the same as the cotton cloth trading company. All interested allies can participate in the shares.

King Yong's gossip made the common people in the capital happy for more than half a month before the enthusiasm gradually subsided.The tabloid under Wang Lidong took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Every day, all kinds of fanfiction about King Yong's night battle were produced, and the sales of the tabloids were like a rocket launch. At the beginning of the next month, Wang Lidong got the financial statement, and the profit was 1567 yuan, which was three times higher than usual.

It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't happen once a year.

Between the world of life, if the gap between the white horse is suddenly gone.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Chunwei's examination.

The examination venue for this examination is still at the Gongyuan of the Capital, but this time it will take a few days longer than the provincial and government examinations.

There are three consecutive exams, each three-day exam, totaling nine days in total. The three exam questions are the same as the rural exams, four scriptures, five-character eight-rhyme poems, five scriptures, and policy questions.

Before dawn, Wang Lidong was escorted into the carriage by Qi's mother, and when he was 200 meters away from the gate of the Gongyuan, the carriage stopped.The coachman reported that the streets were full of scholars taking the exam.

Wang Lidong opened the curtains and looked out through the car window. There were all candidates holding lanterns, and there was no end in sight.

This number is several times higher than that of the provincial government examination. Although there are a large number of yamen servants and soldiers to maintain order, it is still a bit chaotic.

Because the officials of the Song Dynasty were treated very well, with a lot of status, beauties, and banknotes, they attracted countless students who wanted to cross the class.

In the Spring Festival held every three years, there will be an average of more than 1.2 candidates, who will squeeze into the capital from all over the country, and the number has more than five or six times that of the Tang Dynasty.

"Mother, let's wait until there are fewer people before going down. With so many people, we have to queue for an hour or two to go down."

Princess Pingning also saw the scene outside, nodded, and asked the coachman to reverse the carriage five to sixty meters, and stopped in a relatively quiet place.

Under Qi's mother's gaze, Wang Lidong reluctantly took out a book of moderation.

After reading more than half of the book, the sky was already bright, and I saw the situation at the gate of the Xiagong Courtyard, and more than half of the people were already missing.

Qi's mother said, "Heng'er, you can enter the arena now."

"Wait a little longer," Wang Lidong said, "Anyway, there is still more than half an hour before the exam, if you wait a little longer, I will queue up to go."

Mother Qi glanced at her son, but said nothing.

"Grandpa, empress, young master, the carriage from Sheng's mansion has arrived." A wealthy voice sounded from outside the carriage.

"Father, mother." Wang Lidong put down his moderation, "I'll go down and have a look."

Princess Pingning snorted, "Let's go down together, we are relatives after all. Otherwise, it would be rude."

"My lord, my lady, the carriage of Duke Qi's mansion is parked not far in front," Lai Fu, the official of the Sheng mansion, reminded, "The princess, Duke Qi and the young man are all here."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly opened the curtains, saw Qi Heng's family standing 20 meters away, and said hurriedly, "Laifu, stop the car." While talking, she hurriedly arranged her makeup, and then helped Sheng Hong arrange her clothes.

Glancing at the anxious lady, Sheng Hong said dissatisfiedly, "What's the hurry!"

Wang said, "The princess is waiting outside the car. Don't make people wait too long in such a cold day."

"Qi Heng met my aunt and my uncle," Wang Lidong saw Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang get off the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the future mother-in-law and old man.

Sheng Hong no longer had the big smiling face of the past, and just smiled and nodded in response.

Reserved!
Wang stepped forward to hold Wang Lidong's hand, but she liked it more and more, and said with a smile, "Young Lord, you don't have to be so polite."

Wang Lidong laughed, "Auntie just call me Brother Heng."

"Okay! I'll call you Brother Heng from now on." The corners of Wang's mouth almost grinned happily.

Sheng Hong saw that his wife was pulling Wang Lidong to talk endlessly, and just said not to freeze Princess Pingning, but when he got out of the car, he turned his head away, glanced at the princess and Duke Qi who were waiting aside, and immediately stepped forward to pull Wang Lidong quietly. Pulling, Wang let go reluctantly.

Wang Lidong let out a breath, his future mother-in-law was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
