Chapter 58 Mrs. Sheng’s decision
Old Mrs. Sheng shook her head slightly and said: “I told you before that if the girl’s temper has been developed, the most I can do is to calm her temper. ”
At first, she was sent to Mrs. Sheng. Because Mrs. Sheng was very strict, she often got emotional.
Old Mrs. Sheng didn't tolerate her, so she dealt with her severely.
Madam Wang found out and felt very distressed. If Sheng Hong hadn't stopped her, she would have come to Shou'an Hall to cause a scene.
Although Rulan was simple-minded, she was not stupid. She saw her temper was dealt with even more harshly, and with Hualan's persuasion, she thought that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he became honest.
But who is Mrs. Sheng? It can be seen at a glance that Rulan's honesty is just due to helplessness, not a change in temperament.
Therefore, she is not as optimistic as Sheng Hong.
"Mother, my son seems to be quite well-behaved now." Sheng Hong said.
Old Mrs. Sheng glanced at him and said: "Now she is just under the eaves and has to bow her head. When she gets out of this eaves, without control, she will still be the same as before."
Sheng Hong looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. He always felt that Mrs. Sheng was trying to point him out.
I want to refute, but I don’t have the confidence.
In the past, Mrs. Sheng often criticized him for being too doting on Xiaoniang Lin, but every time he said he would change, in fact, he only temporarily restrained himself, and then returned to his old ways.
“Some things cannot be taught through discipline. On the surface, I seem to have heard it, but in my heart, I have ignored it. What can I do? As the old saying goes, you will gain wisdom after learning a lesson. If you don't eat that pit, you will never grow wise." Mrs. Sheng shook her head slightly.
In her opinion, Ru Lan's temperament cannot be changed unless she suffers a big loss.
The more Sheng Hong listened, the more he felt that Mrs. Sheng was talking about him, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother, since it is hard to carve a dead tree like an orchid, why not arrange a smarter dowry for her? What do you think?"
During this period, Lin Xiaoniang has been telling him about this matter. Sheng Hong was already moved, but he didn't want to do it because of his face.
But now after hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, I thought about it again.
After all, although face is important, it is better than Ru Lan entering the palace and causing trouble for the family in the future.
Old Mrs. Sheng frowned slightly when she heard this, and said thoughtfully: "Although this method is absurd, it seems to be a feasible method now. There are only a few girls in the family, and none of them is suitable. Over there in the big room Not suitable either.”
Mrs. Sheng was born in the Hou family, so she has long been accustomed to such things. I can't say I'm disgusted, but I don't really agree with it either.
Judging from Ru Lan's temperament, this is not a solution.
"What does mother think of Mo Lan? Mo Lan has been smart and sensible since she was a child. If she accompanies Ru Lan into the palace in the future, she can also give Ru Lan some advice." Sheng Hong said.
"What do you think? Ru Lan and Mo Lan are incompatible. Do you think Ru Lan can listen to her words? Although you usually turn a deaf ear to my words, I always think you are shrewd. Why are you confused now?" Mrs. Sheng said coldly.
The reason why she said there was no suitable one at home was because Mo Lan had too many evil thoughts, while Qu and Ru Lan had not dealt with each other since they were young.
As for Minglan, to be honest, her presence was too low, and Mrs. Sheng didn't notice her strengths or weaknesses.
Although it is a good thing to be more cautious when entering the palace, Mo Lan was influenced by Lin Xiaoniang and had to fight for everything.
If this kind of temperament enters the palace, Lan will be more likely to get into trouble.
Sheng Hong was so confused that he proposed to let Mo Lan marry into the palace.
"Mother calmed down, and my son also thought that Mo Lan was smart and could persuade Ru Lan. The reason why the two of them are not at odds is because they are still young. If mother trains them well, they will naturally understand the meaning of sisterly love." Sheng Hong said.
"I don't have that ability. You are the head of the Sheng family now. If you are not afraid that they will cause big trouble to the Sheng family in the future, then just do it." Mrs. Sheng sneered.
Both Ru Lan and Mo Lan have the same temperaments as their biological mothers. Even because of their age, their temperaments are even worse than their biological mothers.
What is the difference between them getting together and Aunt Wang and Xiaoniang Lin getting together?
The two of them have to fight each other when they meet, but they still have a deep love for each other as sisters.
"Mom, calm down. The son just has this idea. Since the mother says it's not appropriate, forget it."
Sheng Hong quickly admitted his mistake, pondered for a while and said: "Pinlan and Rulan from my eldest brother's family are similar in age. Why don't you ask eldest brother what he means?"
"Nonsense!" Old Mrs. Sheng shouted: "Let's not talk about Pinlan's straightforward temper. She is the legitimate daughter of the eldest family, and the eldest family is the main lineage. How can there be any reason to let the main lineage's legitimate daughter dowry?"
" Mother, that's what my son said, since you don't think it's appropriate, then forget it," Sheng Hong said quickly.
Old Mrs. Sheng took a deep breath and said, "When you get to Bianjing, please ask Ming girl to come to our hospital."
"Mother, do you mean to let that girl Minglan marry Rulan into the palace?" Sheng Hong was stunned and said in surprise.
Not only does Mrs. Sheng feel that Minglan has a low sense of existence, but so does he, the father.
If Mrs. Sheng hadn't mentioned it, he would have even forgotten that he had such a daughter.
As for Minglan’s advantages and disadvantages, he had no impression at all.
"I just asked you to send her here. Whether it works or not depends on her character. If it doesn't work, we can only let Ru Lan enter the palace alone." Old Mrs. Sheng said.
She had no impression of Minglan, but she had a deep impression of Wei Xiaoniang.
In Mrs. Sheng's view, Minglan has no sense of presence among her brothers and sisters at such a young age. Although there is a reason for not being favored, it also has a lot to do with her little mother's teachings.
Whether Minglan is inherently honest or has been taught by her mother, it is the best choice for her to marry her.
She doesn't expect Ru Lan to win favors or anything like that when she enters the palace. If she can be influenced by Minglan, be honest and not stand out, and have no sense of existence, she can also avoid the fight in the harem.
As for whether to do this, we still need to look at Minglan's character to decide.
"Yes, when we get to Bianjing, my son will send Minglan over." Sheng Hong said.
"As for Miss Wei, don't tell her about this first. Just say that Brother Lin is still young. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of her, so I put Minglan here to raise." Mr. Sheng The wife warned.
Sheng Hong was beaten by Liu Sanshi before and ignored Lin Xiaoniang for a while.
Ms. Wang was of average height, so Sheng Hong often went to Miss Wei's room to rest during that time.
After a while, Wei Xiaoniang became pregnant and gave birth to a son named Sheng Changlin.
He is now more than half a year old.
"Don't worry, mother, my son understands."
Sheng Hong knew that Mrs. Sheng was reminding him not to tell anyone before the matter was settled.
......
Zhao Xing still doesn't know that the Sheng family intends to marry Minglan, who he misses most, into the palace. He is very busy every day now.
After he mentioned to his father last time that he wanted to learn the art of war, he came to the East Palace every day to teach him the art of war.
Because Zhao Xing often dressed up and went out to play in the evening, the official refused to change his mind even after seeing him several times, so they simply sent a copy of the record from the year before for Zhao Xing to see.
In order to prevent Zhao Xing from being perfunctory, he specially arranged for someone to come over to supervise and let Zhao Xing look at all the mistakes.
When Zhao Xing saw Zhazi before, it was always Zhazi from the day before.
These Zhazi Shangshutai and his father have all been dealt with. Let him see it to let him understand the major events in the court, and how the ministers and his father dealt with these matters. . There is no need for him to make any approval or decision.
Although there were many scratches, Zhao Xing still seemed to be very fast after he knocked on the door.
Now my father has asked him to send all the bags from the past two months for him to see, a dozen large boxes of bags.
Zhao Xing has no time to go out and play every day.
