Chapter 297 The Sheng Family
Qi Heng had been away for several months this time, and wrote back every few days, the contents were all about landscapes and interesting things on the way.

Today, Gu Ning thought that it would be time to change into summer clothes when Qi Heng came back, so he chose some materials for people to take down and make the clothes first.

Qi Jiacheng happened to come back, so he also picked a few batches, and then handed it to Gu Ningyi, saying: "My son's letter, I thought it was probably telling you some interesting things, so I didn't open it first, and brought it back with you look."

Gu Ningyi took the letter, opened it and said: "Brother Heng has gained a lot of knowledge during this trip. I wrote the poem 'Spring River Water' a few days ago, and the content is more meaningful than the preface."

Qi Jiacheng said: "Men's family, you always need to have more knowledge, so that you can succeed in the future." As he spoke, he saw Gu Ningyi frowning as he read the letter, and hurriedly came over to read it and asked: "What's wrong? Brother Heng What did you say in the letter? Usually you read it with a smile on your face, why do you have this expression today?"

Gu Ningyi handed the letter to Qi Jiacheng and said: "This Mr. Yuan of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion is really good, he dared to encourage me, Brother Heng and Brother Ye, to gamble with the Sheng family on the girl's dowry. Fortunately, these two children are quite polite, otherwise, if they were really instigated to do such a thing, they might gain some reputation if it spreads in the future!
The eldest son of their family suppressed the second son, but pushed out other people's children to make rafts, and even recruited and recruited them as means.What a shame. "

Qi Jiacheng also frowned after reading it, and said: "From the small to the big, this Mr. Yuan is lacking in mind, ability, and means. Even if brothers are fighting, he should be upright and upright, and he has made achievements in practical matters. He has done this. If it happened, the girl from the Sheng family would have no face, and his younger brother would have no face. Could it be possible that the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion would be honored? It would be stupid to harm others and benefit oneself.

Fortunately, our children are still Mingli. "

Gu Ningyi nodded, and said: "Brother Heng said that Master Bai is seriously ill, I'm afraid time is running out. Mrs. Bai probably wants to stay and take care of her family's affairs. She is the only child in the family just like me. My daughter, I had Brother Rui to help me back then. People in her clan were not easy to get along with. Master Bai was kicked out of the clan by the Bai family in his early years. Now Mrs. Bai can only take care of it by herself. "

Not long after Master Bai passed away, Gu Yan took leave of absence and took Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingwei to Yangzhou for the funeral, to help the Bai family take care of Master Bai's funeral.

After the matter in Yangzhou was settled, Brother Heng also came back with Ning Yuanhou's family.

Qi Heng was innocent and ignorant when he left, but he was much calmer when he came back from a trip.Gu Ningyi only changed when he was almost plotted against.Then he said a few words of comfort.

Qi Heng then said to her: "Mother, when I was studying in the past, I only knew that poor people's lives were difficult, but I didn't expect that even wealthy families would have such a difficult time surviving.

Mother, you don't know, that day Uncle Gu and I met the sixth girl from the Sheng family on the road. The five-year-old child ran around asking people to find a medical clinic, just to find a doctor to save her mother.

You don't know, when we took Langzhong there, the Sheng family actually closed the door.Although the doctor was found, the little mother of the sixth girl still couldn't be rescued.Pity her at such a young age, she lost her mother and brother.

Mother, the Sheng family can be regarded as a family of scholars for many generations, how could this kind of thing happen?People's hearts are terrible. "

Gu Ning said, "The Sheng family? The Sheng family from the in-laws of the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion?"

"kindness."

Gu Ningyi said: "The old lady of the Sheng family was the young lady of the Yongyi Hou Mansion in the past. I heard that she insisted on marrying Tanhualang back then, but that Tanhualang was a romantic seed, causing a scandal of pampering his concubine, killing his wife, and killing his son-in-law. Everyone in the city of Tokyo knew about it. After Tanhualang passed away, the old lady brought up the bastard son Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong was still a good-for-nothing, and he won the exam, so the old lady asked him to marry the daughter of the Taishi Wang family.

With the support of the grand master, Sheng Hong's official career has been smooth in the past few years.

Although I have never seen Mrs. Wang, but with the family education of the Wang family, no matter what, Mrs. Wang should not be so vicious."

Qi Heng said: "When we went that day, Mrs. Wang was not in the mansion, and the person in charge of the mansion was a young lady. When we took the doctor there, the young lady still stopped me from going in. It was me and brother Ye who beat us a few times. A servant stopped me, and then let the doctor go in."

Gu Ningyi patted the back of Qi Heng's hand, and reprimanded: "You went to someone's house to fight? You silly boy, if it wasn't for this, they were wronged, and they couldn't say it. Just this one, you two, I don’t want to have a future in the future?”

Qi Heng said: "Mother, we can't just ignore death and do nothing about it, right? Is it urgent?"

Gu Ning said: "Yes, what my son said makes sense. Now that the matter has been done, it is time to think about how to deal with the aftermath. Not only this matter, but all future matters will be the same. Although it is urgent to follow the right, but After doing everything, you must consider the consequences. Even if you didn't think of it at the time, you should consider it as soon as possible afterwards.

You and Brother Ye are lucky for today's incident.That Sheng Hong was promoted recently and was transferred back to Bianjing, this is the time when his reputation should not be hindered.So he will hope that no one will know about this matter more than you.Otherwise, if the news spread that a spoiled concubine killed his wife, and his family was disturbed, his career would come to an end.

If it wasn't like this, people would bite back and say that you and brother Ye are two half-year-old boys who led people to trespass into other people's back houses.You in the future!Don't even think about a better marriage, let alone a scientific examination.Literati are the most famous.Mother didn't say much, you go back and think about it, if something happened, how would you deal with it? "

A few months later, the Sheng family arrived in Bianjing.

Gu Ningyi originally thought that there should be no chance of contact with the Sheng family, but she didn't expect it.The Sheng family hired Xuexue Zhuang to teach their children at home.

Zhuang Xueying believed that he had great talent and was a highly respected Confucianist.Qi Jiacheng respected him very much, and once wanted to invite him to come to the Duke of Qi's mansion to teach Qi Heng.But it was rejected.

It was said that Sheng Hong had rescued Zhuang Xuexue's mother, so he formed a fate and let him agree to give lectures at Sheng's family.

After Qi Jiacheng couldn't invite Xuexue Zhuang, he discussed with Gu Ningyi that when Qi Heng came back from Yangzhou, he would send him to Bailudong Academy to study.Now that he heard that Zhuang Xuejiao had a class in Sheng's house, he discussed with Gu Ningyi that he should send the child to Gu's house to attend classes.

Gu Ningyi originally thought that Qi Heng would be unwilling to go after seeing the chaotic back house of the Sheng family, but he didn't expect him to agree.The husband and son agreed, and Gu Ningyi naturally had no objection.So he took the gift and went from Qiheng to Sheng's family to study.

Gu Xuexue's teaching rules are very strict, and he has to sit in class every day when he is upright.Qi Heng went to Sheng's house from Duke Qi's mansion, and he had to get up at the beginning of Yin every day.Gu Ningyi also smiled and said: "This is to let you get used to the time to go to the morning court in advance."
