I have a role in the heavens
Chapter 842 Flat Rejection
Wang Ruofu was very satisfied with Hua Lan's performance, with a hint of pride and guilt in his eyes. He looked at Hua Lan, and then the mother and daughter walked towards Shou'antang.
In Shou'an Hall, Li Zhan looked at Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong and saw a hint of heaviness between their brows. He knew that they must have something to talk to him, but they didn't speak and kept talking. I didn’t expose some other things, I just chatted with them.
Sheng Minglan refilled Li Zhan's empty tea cup with tea. Li Zhan had already filled his stomach with tea. Seeing that Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong still had no intention of saying anything, they could only helplessly continue drinking. Tea.
There was a sound of footsteps. When Li Zhan heard the familiar footsteps, he knew that Hua Lan and Wang Ruofu had arrived. He turned back to look at his wife and saw a trace of gloom in her eyebrows. There was no joy in her eyes before coming, but a slight Knowing that Mrs. Sheng's visit to him today must be related to Hua Lan, he put down the tea cup in his hand and quietly waited for the next move of Mrs. Sheng and others.
Mrs. Sheng glanced at Wang Ruofu and Hua Lan who entered, and cast a questioning look at Wang Ruofu, as if to confirm whether Hua Lan was understood.
Wang Ruofu nodded lightly, and Mrs. Sheng got the signal. A smile immediately broke out on her face, and she asked them to sit down, and then she spoke to Li Zhan.
"Grandma, you and your wife came to my house today because I want to discuss something with you!"
Li Zhan glanced at Old Mrs. Sheng, and from the corner of his eye he saw a hint of sadness on Hua Lan's face. He vaguely guessed what Old Mrs. Sheng was going to say, and calmly glanced at everyone with his peripheral vision. They all cheered up, but Sheng Minglan looked confused. It seemed that this little girl was the only one who didn't know the whole story, and everyone else was already angry.
When Mrs. Sheng saw that Hua Lan didn't stop her, she felt relieved. After all, Hua Lan was her direct granddaughter. If it weren't for Hua Lan and Li Zhan, she would never be so troublesome and annoying.
Mrs. Sheng adjusted her sitting posture, stretched her body after sitting for a long time, relaxed her muscles and bones, and then said with a caring look.
"You and Hua Lan have been married for three years and have nothing to do. I discussed it with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. You are the only child of the Li family. We can't let the Li family lose their relationship, so I want to take a concubine for you. I don't know. how about?"
Li Zhan secretly said, "Sure enough," he turned his gaze to Hua Lan, who was bowing her head and saying nothing. Seeing that her whole body exuded a sad aura, he felt sorry for his wife, raised his head to look at Old Mrs. Sheng, and said.
"Grandma, it's me"
Before Li Zhan finished speaking, Mrs. Sheng interrupted Li Zhan and continued.
"You don't have to worry about Hua Lan's feelings. We have all seen how you have treated her in the past three years, so she can't just think about herself. You can rest assured that she agreed to take a concubine for you!"
After hearing this, Hualan raised her head, showed a forced smile, twitched the corners of her mouth, and tried to persuade Li Zhan.
"Official, just listen to your grandmother's words, the Li family cannot be cut off!"
Li Zhan looked at his wife who was holding back her grief and shook his head. He was speechless at his wife who knew her so well. He waved his hand to signal Hua Lan not to say anything.
Sheng Minglan looked at the eldest sister who endured the humiliation, and felt even more despair about the relationship between men and women. Thinking about the death of her little mother, she closed her heart to love even more, and secretly determined not to be tempted in this life. Most men in the world are... A heartless person, how many daughters have been entrusted to wrong people, and they have been wrongly paid with true love.
After Li Zhan stopped his wife, he stood up, bowed to the three elders, and said solemnly.
"Grandma, Hualan and I are still young. Although we have been married for three years and have nothing to do with each other, I still don't want to take concubines. It's not that I'm arrogant, but that Hualan and I have a harmonious relationship and the family is peaceful, so I don't want to have any more concubines in the family. Adding new people makes the house restless and annoying!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Hualan's eyes, and then turned into determination. The reluctance in her heart instantly dissipated. With Guanren's words, everything she had done was worth it, and there was nothing left to be dissatisfied about.
Mrs. Sheng suddenly changed her color, stood up, and for the first time got angry at Li Zhan and said angrily.
"You only consider the relationship between you and Hua Lan, and where do you place your ancestral family? There are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is not having an heir!"
"Aren't you worried about how you will face the questioning of your ancestors underground a hundred years later?"
Li Zhan glanced at Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu who were in deep agreement, paused, and thought about it for a moment before continuing to persuade the angry old lady Sheng.
"Grandma, Hua Lan is still young. There is no need to be so anxious. Why not find a doctor to take care of his body first? If we don't have a child in two years, it won't be too late to talk about this!"
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she frowned. She had never thought about whether there was something wrong with their health. She also thought about asking her friend, Mrs. He, to help take a look and adjust Hua Lan's body. But I haven't been able to get some free time, and I'm afraid that Hua Lan really can't have children, which will cause trouble, so I didn't write to invite her.
Li Zhan saw Mrs. Sheng's brows wavering a little more, and continued to persuade her while the iron was hot.
"Grandma, and recently, the officials are going to promote me again. It's better to be quiet than to move at this time."
Mrs. Sheng was stunned. Li Zhan had just been promoted to Secretary Supervisor of the Secretarial Department. It had only been half a year and he was actually going to be promoted again. It was indeed not appropriate to have a concubine, so as not to attract the attention of others.
Sheng Hong's face was even more delighted. He didn't expect that the official family valued Li Zhan so much and wanted to promote him again, so he asked quickly.
"Now that Chongwenyuan's compilation is inseparable from you, why would the officials let you leave the Secretarial Department?"
Li Zhan glanced at the official-obsessed Sheng Hong and the compromised old lady Sheng, and said unhurriedly.
"The official means that I will also serve as secretary-supervisor, and they will promote me to the position of Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng."
The Yushitai is headed by the Yushi Dafu as its official officer, and is assisted by the Yushi Zhongcheng. It has two Yushi Zhongcheng. It is a central administrative supervision agency and one of the central judicial organs. It is responsible for picketing, impeaching officials, and correcting discipline. For major cases, the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple formed the Three Law Departments to jointly hear the cases. Dali Temple is responsible for interrogating prisoners and drafting verdicts, and the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for reviewing and reporting to the Yushitai for supervision.
The imperial censor used the criminal code to correct the sins of the officials, and Zhongcheng did it. It has three courtyards: the first is the Taiyuan, where the imperial censor Li Yan is served; the second is the palace courtyard, where the imperial censor is Li Yan; the third is the Chaoyuan, where the censor is under supervision.
In this dynasty, the imperial censor officials ignored the affairs of the censor station and still regarded the censor Zhongcheng as the chief official.
As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, Sheng Hong stood up in surprise and said to Mrs. Sheng.
"Mother, Yushi Zhongcheng is from the third rank. Ziqing is going to step up to the third rank and wear a purple robe. We must not cause unnecessary complications. I think the matter of concubinage should be slowed down for the time being!"
