Chapter 113 Zhao Xing’s Purpose
Zhao Xing actually understood what Sheng Changbai meant, and he was deliberately pretending to be confused.
I obviously like it, but it is just a matter of smooth flow, so I am a fool to refuse.
"It just so happens that Gu is a little bored. Go and call them to talk to Gu." Zhao Xing said.
“Yes!” After hearing this, Sheng Changbai bowed and retreated.
There was a small pond in the Shengjia Garden, and there was a pavilion beside the pond. Zhao Xing came to the pavilion and sat down and waited.
......
Sheng Hong drove Sheng Changfeng back to his room. He learned that Zhao Xing and Sheng Changbai had gone to the garden and knew whether they would be back soon, so he and Sheng Wei went to Shou'an Hall and put the Zhao Xing told Mrs. Sheng about not letting Sheng Changfeng take part in the imperial examination.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng looked at Grandma Kong.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats others with kindness. Generally speaking, if you don't make any principled mistakes, His Highness will not punish you too harshly. If your third grandson is not allowed to participate in this examination, he must have done something. This incident angered His Royal Highness. You don’t have to worry too much. Since His Highness has punished you, it means that it will be fine as long as you don’t do it again.”
After Mother Kong finished speaking, she looked at Sheng Hong and said, "Originally, I am an outsider, so I shouldn't talk about some things. But since something like this happened today, I will just say a few words. If I offend you, Lord Sheng, please don't blame me."
"What did you say, mama? You and my mother are old friends, and they are my elders. It's too late for me to be happy if I can get your teachings. How dare I blame you?" Sheng Hong said quickly.
"There is a rule in everything. In a large family, the children are raised by the head wife. There is no reason to let the concubines raise the children." Aunt Kong said.
The main wife's upbringing of her children is not only due to status, but also because of the different origins and visions of the main wife and the concubines.
The principal wives of wealthy families are all well-born and well-educated. But the concubine was from a humble background and had a narrow vision.
Of course, there are no absolutes. After all, they are not biological, and the aunt-in-law doesn't care much about the concubine and concubine.
This is still considered good. A concubine is fine. She will get married anyway, but a concubine is different. Many aunts abandon their concubines and raise them.
However, concubines and concubines were brought up by the royal family for a deeper purpose, which was to promote harmony within the family.
Whether it is to support the waste or not to be sad, it is all about developing in the direction that the main wife wants.
It won’t be too targeted in the future.
However, if the concubine is left to raise the child, the wife will inevitably target the concubine and the concubine, and this kind of targeting will also affect the relationship between the concubine and the concubine.
Many people may think that this is too unfair to the common people?
But there were various class differences in ancient times, and one of them was between concubines and concubines.
After she came to the Sheng family and learned about this situation, she felt that the Sheng family was too chaotic.
“Mommy taught me a lesson!”
When Sheng Hong heard this, he actually felt a little dissatisfied, but his face looked like he was being taught.
The reason why he let his concubine educate his children was only partly because of his love for Lin Xiaoniang. The most important thing was his own experience.
At this moment, Sheng Changbai walked in. After he was greeted, Sheng Hong couldn't wait to ask: "Has His Highness the Crown Prince said why Feng'er was not allowed to participate in the examination?"
Sheng Changbai explained the reason and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that this matter ends here."
"The traitor!"
After hearing this, Sheng Hong's eyes darkened and he almost fainted from anger.
This matter can be big or small. Although Sheng Changfeng did not say it explicitly, if it is really pursued, the entire Sheng family will be implicated.
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Sheng shouted: "Since His Highness has said that he will not pursue the matter, then this matter is over. If you want to teach your son a lesson, wait until His Highness leaves. Your Highness is still at home. You must not cause any trouble. You and Wei'er should go to the main hall and wait. It would be rude if there is no one in the main hall."
"Yes!" Sheng Hong responded quickly and looked. Xiang Changbai said: "You should go and accompany His Highness quickly."
"His Highness asked the fifth and sixth sisters to go over and talk." Sheng Changbai said.
"Then let Ru'er come over tomorrow." Sheng Hong urged.
"I will make arrangements here. You go to the main hall first. I have a few words to tell Bai'er." Old Mrs. Sheng said.
"Yes." Sheng Hong bowed after hearing this and walked out with Sheng Wei. "Bai'er, what did Your Highness say? Why did you ask Ming Yatou to come over?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked.
Sheng Changbai smiled bitterly and said: "My grandson told His Highness what my grandmother said, but Your Highness seemed to have misunderstood. He said that it was not possible to give the title to Sixth Sister for the time being. He would give it to Sixth Sister in the future. A name.”
"This..." Mrs. Sheng was startled when she heard this and looked at Grandma Kong.
“Let the fifth and sixth girls go over first, and don’t keep His Highness the Crown Prince waiting.” Mother Kong said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng asked Fang’s mother to go and notify Ru Lan and the others, and asked Sheng Changbai to go and talk to Zhao Xing first.
After Sheng Changbai left, Aunt Kong said: "With His Highness's intelligence, it is impossible not to hear it. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince does not accept two concubines from one family. It should be that His Highness the Crown Prince likes Liu. "She's a girl."
"But His Royal Highness has never even seen Ming Yatou, how could he..."
Mrs. Sheng stopped here and suddenly remembered that Minglan had indeed met Zhao Xing.
When she came back from the polo club last year, she heard it from the maid who was with Minglan and asked Minglan about it.
When he learned that Zhao Xing was looking for Yu Yanran, he didn’t pay much attention.
Did you fall in love with Minglan at that time?
"Okay, since His Highness the Crown Prince has said that he will give the sixth girl a status and he likes the sixth girl very much, what else do you have to worry about?" Mother Kong comforted her.
Old Mrs. Sheng moved her mouth and asked Minglan to marry into the palace. She hadn't really made a decision yet, so this move turned out to be self-defeating.
However, the matter is a foregone conclusion and there is no room for change.
......
Zhao Xing chatted with Rulan Minglan at Sheng's house for a while, then left and did not stay at Sheng's house for lunch.
In this era, etiquette is still relatively strict. Even if he is a prince, a few small talk when meeting him is already overwhelming.
Moreover, the two sisters were only thirteen years old now, so he couldn't say anything ambiguous.
In fact, the most important thing when seeing Rulan Minglan is for Minglan.
He knew that Minglan was having a hard time in the Sheng family. After he met Ru Lan and Minglan, and what he said to Sheng Changbai before, Minglan's life in the Sheng family would definitely be much easier.
Including when he called Yu Yanran to come and talk at the polo meeting, this was also the purpose.
After Zhao Xing left, Sheng Hong had Sheng Changfeng dragged outside the ancestral hall and beaten severely.
Even Lin Xiaoniang's pleas were ignored.
On the contrary, Lin Xiaoniang was deprived of the right to teach her daughter, and the small courtyard between Shou'an Hall and Wei Ruixuan was cleared out, so that Mo Lan could move in.
As for Sheng Changfeng, because he is a man and he is old, he has moved away from Linxige a few years ago.
In order to prevent the two of them from seeing Lin Xiaoniang, Sheng Hong also confined Lin Xiaoniang to Lin Qi Pavilion. Without his permission, Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan were not allowed to enter Lin Qi Pavilion.
When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she was so happy that she wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
At this moment, a servant came to report that the servant of the East Palace had arrived.
Sheng Hong hurriedly went out to greet him. When he saw the visitor, he said very politely: "Mr. Sanshui, who are you?"
I saw two carriages parked in front of Sheng's house. It was Sanshui's ride, but the other one had no carriage and was filled with unknown items, covered with tarpaulin.
"Haha, His Highness the Crown Prince asked the slave to bring some cloth over, saying that he would make some clothes for the fifth and sixth girls of the Sheng family."
Sanshui smiled and directed people to get into the car. The oilcloth was uncovered and dozens of pieces of cloth were placed on it.
