Chapter 41 Sheng Changbai introduces Zhuang Xuexue (please read and recommend)

"Hmph, that little bitch Xiaodie really has no sense of propriety. That Wei family is just a disgrace, but she has the nerve to come over and argue with us for charcoal. Hehe, I gave her a basket of charcoal for the stove. I Let’s see how they can keep warm when the room is filled with smoke!”

"Haha, your method is really damaging. Aren't you afraid that Miss Wei will file a complaint with the master?"

"What am I afraid of? That Miss Wei is like a quail. She never says a word. Do you think she has come to see the master for any reason in the past few years?
  Even if our kitchen occasionally deprived her of her meals, she never said anything! "

"That's true. You are still thoughtful. You not only please Sister Zhou, but also give us a sigh of relief!"

"Haha, that's right, let me tell you, when working in this big house, the first thing you need to do is to be discerning. Now that Miss Lin is the housekeeper, we only need to make Sister Zhou happy, and it will definitely benefit us!"

"Sister Li is right! Ah...Second Young Master, I didn't know that Second Young Master was here, please forgive me!"

It was a coincidence that on the way from the front hall to Sheng Changbai's courtyard, he happened to pass by the kitchen.

Xu Wenhui and Sheng Changbai heard this conversation,
  Xu Wenhui remembered that in the TV series, it seemed that Wei Xiaoniang's maid Xiaodie came to the kitchen to ask for charcoal for heating at the beginning, but was tricked by Lin Xiaoniang's maid Zhou Xueniang and two people in the kitchen.
  I think it's these two people.

I saw that at this time, these two people were no longer as complacent as before. They were so frightened that they fell to their knees and trembled!

Sheng Changbai pretended not to see the two slaves, still made a gesture of invitation, and led Xu Wenhui forward.

"The lack of strict discipline at home makes you laugh, Bo Sheng!"

Xu Wenhui saw Sheng Changbai clenching his fists after hearing what he just heard, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry. He thought he would deal with these two people on the spot.
  I didn't expect that this boy could be so calm and composed at such a young age. He was a very good material, so he didn't even look at the two servants.

Anyway, if the master discovers this behavior of these two people, the outcome is already doomed. If they are not selling out, they will not be lenient.
  So he followed Sheng Changbai's guidance and continued walking forward, smiling and agreeing as he walked,

"No matter what you say, no one can guarantee that all servants will be obedient and respectful. It is inevitable that there will be a few who don't know what they are talking about!"

When Sheng Changbai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful. Xu Wenhui said this, which could be regarded as taking care of the face of their Sheng family.
  Suddenly thinking of something, Sheng Changbai asked:

"Bosheng, you were also selected as a scholar at a young age. You must have had an extraordinary teacher. I wonder who you studied with in Bianjing?"

When Xu Wenhui heard this, his heart moved. Could it be that Sheng Changbai wanted to mention Zhuang Xuexue, who was good at teaching? I remember that in the TV series, it seemed that the Sheng family didn’t start teaching until they arrived in Bianjing. Could it be that they already had plans at this time?
  Going to Shengjia and Zhuang to study is also one of Xu Wenhui’s goals.

This Zhuang Xuexue was also a famous scholar in the world.

It's not something you can ask for because of power. Even Qi Heng from the Duke of Qi's family later went to the Sheng family to study. You know how rare it is to find a great scholar as a teacher in this era.

Xu Wenhui just pretended not to know and smiled helplessly:
  "I'm not afraid of Zecheng, you are joking. My family has been a martial artist for generations and has never invited any famous adults. They are just ordinary gentlemen in the family clan!"

"I see!"

When Sheng Changbai heard this, he couldn't help but admire Xu Wenhui a little more. He only studied with an ordinary gentleman. At this age, he was selected as a scholar, and his talent was considered extraordinary.
  Thinking of his thoughts just now, Sheng Changbai continued:

"It's like this, Bo Sheng. I have an old friend in my family who is a great Confucian. My father has invited him to come to my house to teach in a few days. Why don't Bo Sheng become a classmate of mine? Let's go to the examination room together tomorrow!"

As soon as Xu Wenhui heard this, he knew that this must be the scholar Zhuang. He pretended to be amazed and said with admiration: "Oh? My cousin has such a face! I can't ask for it. I don't know which scholar he is?"

After all, it is not something ordinary people can do in this day and age to hire a great scholar as a private tutor.

Sheng Changbai naturally didn't know that Xu Wenhui actually knew everything, so he explained:
  "It's Zhuang Chong, Zhuang Daru. In fact, it's just a coincidence. My father once saved an old man from an unjust prison, who was Zhuang Xuexue's mother.

In order to repay my father's kindness, Zhuang Xuexue agreed to go out.
  Since Bo Sheng is interested, I will tell my father later that we will learn from Zhuang Xuexue together! "

Sheng Changbai was very sure, and Xu Wenhui nodded happily. Sheng Changbai took such initiative, which saved him a lot of trouble. He raised his hands and saluted:
  "Then it's troublesome, Brother Zecheng. If Boxheng succeeds in the future, it all depends on Brother Zecheng!"

If Xu Wenhui were an ordinary scholar, he would definitely doubt what Sheng Changbai said.
  But this scholar Zhuang is famous for his good temper. He didn't even complain at all when he was asked to teach female students.
  What's more, among them are people with low moral character like Mo Lan.

Xu Wenhui didn't believe that Zhuang Xuexue couldn't see Mo Lan's character, he just didn't want to pay attention to it.

Since even a scholar like Mo Lan can teach, there is no reason why he would be picky when he comes here!
  As long as the Sheng family speaks, it's basically foolproof!
  This matter was settled, and the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious.
  Let’s chat and laugh together and go to Sheng Changbai’s courtyard to discuss articles, poems, and national affairs!
  Until it’s almost time for the banquet to begin,

The two of them returned to the front hall again,

Maybe he was worried about Xu Wenhui’s relationship,
  Although Yuan Wenchun looks down on the Sheng family, this time he is not like in the same TV series.
  Arrangements were made for Gu Tingye to challenge the Sheng family and seize the betrothal geese. The whole day's ceremony went smoothly.

The only thing that made Xu Wenhui a little unhappy was that Yuan Wenchun and his wife stayed in the yard next door to Xu Wenhui at night.
  But it’s no wonder that the Sheng family
  After all, Tongpan Mansion is only so big and has only a few good courtyards.
  Yuan Wenchun and his wife are serious guests, so naturally they cannot be accommodated at will.
  Since I live nearby,

It's hard not to say hello,
  But before Xu Wenhui can pass,

Yuan Wenchun came over first.

After the two of them exchanged greetings for a while,

Yuan Wenchun pretended to say casually:
  "Bo Sheng, what do you think Zhong Huai did when he came all the way to Yangzhou incognito?

Yangzhou...Yangzhou...I seem to remember that his maternal grandfather's family name was Bai. It seems to be in Yangzhou, right? "

When Xu Wenhui heard this, he didn't quite understand what Yuan Wenchun meant. Considering the relationship between the Yuan family and the Gu family, Yuan Wenchun shouldn't have come to Xu Wenhui to say these words.

"Oh? Really, I don't know this at all. Whether his grandfather's surname is Bai or something else, it has nothing to do with me!"

Yuan Wenchun thought that Xu Wenhui really didn't know. After all, Gu Tingye's mother Bai had passed away for many years, and few outsiders discussed her origins, so he explained:

"Oh, Bo Sheng, you are still young. You may not know that Zhong Huai's grandfather was a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being as rich as a country. I vaguely remember the grand occasion when the head of the Bai family got married.

Shili Hongzhuang is said to be less than that. I heard that the money alone is only three to five times a boat! "
