Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 16 Sheng Hong’s Love

Mrs. Sheng said with hidden anger.

The irrelevant servants quickly slipped out of the yard and hid far away.

Hearing the sound, the county magistrate Sheng Hong quickly raised his head, walked to the yard with a shameful expression, bowed and said
  "Mother. Miss Lin and I"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Sheng said sharply:

"shut up."

Sheng Hong trembled.

As she spoke, the capable maid behind Mrs. Sheng had already walked over to the fainted woman in red, preparing to drag her to a side courtyard.

Sheng Hong's eyes heated up and he knelt on the ground.

"Mother, please spare her life, she, she already has my flesh and blood in her belly."

Mrs. Sheng was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Sheng Hong, but her hand stopped in the air.

Perhaps the more than twenty years of marriage had tempered her temperament, so she swallowed her anger and said in a calm tone:
  "The Wang family is a pure family that has been around for generations. If you become a Jinshi, the Wang family can marry their second daughter to you. Do you know how much kindness it is?"

"Mother, I swear here that I will only have one concubine, Miss Lin, in this life, and there will be no other concubine. Please, please mother, please make it happen."

As he spoke, he bowed his head and knelt on the ground.

Mrs. Sheng looked at the concubine kneeling on the ground and closed her eyes. Fang's mother stood behind her and supported him.

"Girl, don't be too angry, it's not good for your health."

Sheng Hong knelt on the ground and looked intently at the cracks in the bricks on the ground. He didn't know how long it had passed.

When the pain on his knees became unbearable, his aunt said lightly:

"You are also the head of the family, so you can decide for yourself. He is indeed your father's good son!!! Humph!"

With that said, Mrs. Sheng flicked her sleeves and walked into the house in the courtyard.

Looking at Mrs. Wang who was crying in the room, she sighed.

"From now on, Hua Lan will be raised by me. Brother Bai is his legitimate son, so don't think too much about it. It's normal for men to have concubines."

"Mom, my father died in office, and he was entitled to the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the official gifts. I thought that the Sheng family was also a Qingliu family, but I didn't expect that Lin Sushuang was so despicable. She said she was talking about poetry with the officials, but she seduced her."

"My aunt is also responsible for spreading the branches and leaves of the family. When Lin Sushuang gives birth to a child, she will be raised under your knees. My concubines are just servants."

"Mother, I don't want the son of that bitch"

"Hua Lan, how about living with grandma from now on?" Mrs. Sheng ignored her daughter-in-law and turned to her granddaughter Hua Lan.

The little girl glanced at her mother and nodded.

The little boy in Wang's arms wiped away his mother's tears with his hands. Wang looked at her son, buried her head and cried.

"Why is my life so miserable!"

The little boy in his arms was very sensible and said in a sweet voice, "Mother, don't cry."

Mrs. Sheng hugged Hua Lan. When she saw such a sensible grandson, she remembered something and her eyes suddenly turned red. She turned her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"You, if you really feel uncomfortable, blame me. Blame me for helping such a woman with my random kindness."

night.

Lin Sushuang knelt on the ground in the main courtyard and offered Mrs. Wang a cup of tea. When she wanted to go to greet Mrs. Sheng, she was stopped by Fang's mother at the door.

Lin Sushuang stood at the entrance of the courtyard, her face full of apologies, and her eyes still filled with tears as she said, "Old madam, do you dislike me?"

"The old lady said that your fate with her is over. Don't come to the old lady's yard in the future."

After saying that, he ignored her and closed the courtyard door directly.

Lin Sushuang stared blankly at the closed door. After a while, she turned around, with no apology on her face and no tears in her eyes.

Her eyebrows were twitching, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she had a proud look on her face.

Then he hummed a tune softly and left.

Shou An Tang,
  In the yard, Hualan had gone back to Wang's house to sleep.

Mrs. Sheng, who was kneeling on the futon in the Buddhist hall, had tears in her eyes.
  She thought of her biological son, who was as sensible as Changbai, but who knew he was poisoned by his concubine.

"Girl, there's a letter from Vigor." Mrs. Fang's mother's voice came. Mrs. Sheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief, got up and went to the outside.

Sheng Wei is the son of Mrs. Sheng’s sister-in-law and the son of Mrs. Shanda.

Now Sheng Hong is in the officialdom and Sheng Wei is in the shopping mall, supporting each other. Sheng Wei is able to do business and make money, thanks to Mrs. Sheng who upholds justice for his family and prevents his property and shop from being swallowed up, so Sheng Wei respected this aunt with the utmost respect.

The two families often exchange letters.

Mother Fang handed the letter to Mrs. Sheng, and Mrs. Sheng read it carefully by candlelight.

Her cheap natal family had become indifferent since she refused to marry the concubine from her hometown in Daizhou, and they had no contact with them for nearly ten years (when Tanhua Lang died, the old lady's parents were still there).

If you continue, you can say that you have severed the relationship and become a stranger, and you will not talk about this relative when talking.

Last time something happened to Sheng Wei, the Sun family helped, and the old lady only sent a congratulatory gift to the old lady of the Sun family on her birthday.

Her natal family was Yongyi Hou Mansion, but she didn't express it.

Sheng Wei's letter was about matters in Beijing. In Beijing, Mrs. Sheng's handkerchief was handed over to Mrs. Yu. It belonged to the Grand Master's family;
  The Cao family and the Sun family are the empress and Bianjing yamen;
  Therefore, the Sheng family's business has grown, and Sheng Hong's house has received a lot of dividends.

Sheng Wei knew that his aunt loved polo, so he specially sent six good horses to Nan'an.

Mrs. Sheng was satisfied with her nephew. Sheng Wei had a more miserable childhood than Sheng Hong, so he became more sensible when he grew up.

At the same time, the matter of Sheng Hong's promotion was almost in progress, and Sheng Wei's letter also made the old lady aware.

The old lady lit the letter telling about Sheng Hong's promotion and put it in the brazier.

Mother Fang looked at Mrs. Sheng and said softly: "Girl, I think Brother Hong takes the Sheng family's reputation and his own career to heart. Don't be too angry."

"From now on, the food in the courtyard will be lighter. I'm so safe that I didn't even notice when I was blindfolded! Daddy said that something big will happen if you do this."

The old lady continued: “Brother Hong’s daughter-in-law and I will never be the same as before.

In addition, let's set up a small kitchen in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall tomorrow so that we can save ourselves from having to see his concubine's room every day. "

After speaking, he shook his head.

"Yes, girl."

In the brazier, the letter was burned to ashes.

Time flies by like a white horse,
  Eight months later, Sheng Hong, the magistrate of Nan'an County, got a concubine named Chang Feng.

Less than half a month later, the old lady of the Wang family sent an old mother named Liu. If Xu Zaijing knew about it, he would definitely say that this is the external brain of Mrs. Wang of the Sheng family, the most powerful assistant.

There was also a woman named Wei Shuyi who was traveling with her. She was the daughter of a scholar and had outstanding appearance. She was disgraced by the Wang family and became Sheng Hong's second concubine.

Sheng Hong originally refused at first, but after meeting Wei Shuyi, he said nothing more and stayed in Wei's room the next day.

One day, everyone went to Mrs. Sheng's place to pay their respects. Looking at the girl from the Wei family who had outstanding color but dull eyes, Mrs. Sheng asked her to serve and learn the rules.

The new sun replaces the old moon in the sky,
  Bianjing,

Before dawn, this extremely huge city began to wake up, and various sounds began to be heard noisily.

When the sky gets bright,
  Quyuan Street,
  Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

In the open space outside the stable, a rather scary-looking groom was instructing Xu Zaijing to practice a set of marksmanship. The look of satisfaction in his one eye almost overflowed.

Because he is a disciple who does not have the name of master and disciple, but is actually a master and disciple. He is really too sensible. Not only does he have outstanding understanding, but he is also rare in that he can endure hardship. What is even better is his innate divine power.

Before he was in trouble, he was very clear-minded and meticulous in his dealings with others, but it was a pity that he had not passed the bone-shattering beauty barrier.

A big deal was stumbling upon, and not only did the family lose all their wealth, but they almost lost their lives.

If it weren't for his outstanding martial arts skills and extra precautions, he would have become a withered skeleton on the roadside.

Although he did not die on the spot, he himself was seriously injured.

The person who kept him alive was none other than the brave Marquis Xu Minghua whom he accidentally befriended in the capital.

Xu Minghua's life-saving grace and his promise to help him avenge him, he has made up his mind to use the rest of his life to repay.

His body is disabled and his martial arts skills are very poor. Fortunately, he has the art of horsemanship in his heart, which prevents him from being a useless person.

He had a skill that even Xu Minghua admired, and he wanted to teach it to Xu Zaijing without reservation.

Therefore, he was very strict with Xu Zaijing, and would correct him several times if his movements were not standard.
