The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 376 Execution
Lin Sushuang wholeheartedly wanted to marry her daughter to Gu Tingye, which Wang Gang had never thought of, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.

Now that Gu Tingye is a celebrity around the prince, his future is limitless, not to mention that he is still the son of the Marquis, and is qualified to inherit the title, no matter how Gu Tingye is considered a favorite.

Lin Sushuang has been good at calculating all her life, it is impossible not to see this.

It's just that Wang Gang was still reluctant to marry Sheng Molan to Gu Tingye.

Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is a pit of fire, whoever marries in the past will never have a good life.

Lin Sushuang only saw the wealth of the Hou Mansion, but did not see the dirty things in the Hou Mansion.

As soon as you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, which is not empty talk.

Let's not talk about Gu Tingye's stepmother Xiaoqin, that is, his sick elder brother Gu Tingyu, who is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone those relatives of the same clan in the Ningyuan Houfu.

In the original book, when Sheng Minglan got married, she went through many hardships before finally achieving the right result.

Sheng Molan doesn't have the means of Minglan, if she really marries into the Hou's mansion, there will be no bones left that might be swallowed.

It's okay if it's someone else, Sheng Molan is Wang Gang's younger sister, no matter how despised she is, she won't be cheated.

"Mo Lan, you have to think about it. Once you enter the Marquis's family, it's as deep as the sea. The eldest sister married into the Earl's Mansion. She has suffered a lot these years." Wang Gang advised Sheng Molan.

"Hua Lan is not capable enough. With our Mo Lan's beauty, we don't have to worry about marrying into the Marquis Mansion for the rest of our lives." Lin Sushuang said.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "If you want to survive in the Marquis' Mansion, it's not enough to have good looks, besides, your face will always age one day, mother, aren't you a living example?"

Lin Sushuang was suffocated upon hearing the words, and really could not refute.

"Mo Lan is different from me. She married a real lady." Lin Sushuang murmured.

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Impossible. With our family background, Mo Lan can only be a concubine when she marries into the Hou Mansion."

Sheng Molan was puzzled and said, "Brother, don't you have a good relationship with Ning Yuanhou? He always treats you like a nephew?"

"You also said that if he treats me as a nephew, he is a junior. How can a junior influence Lord Hou." Wang Gang explained.

Sheng Molan was a little unwilling, so she asked Lin Sushuang again.

"Mom, help me."

Lin Sushuang could only look at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Unless Dad pays homage to the Prime Minister immediately and our Sheng family skyrockets, otherwise it is absolutely impossible."

Lin Sushuang also knew that her status was too low, and it was as difficult as climbing the heavens to climb up to the Marquis's Mansion of Ningyuan, which was still a holy family.

"Why don't you talk to Gu Tingye first, as long as he agrees, there should be hope for this matter."

Wang Gang shook his head again and said, "Gu Tingye was so focused on his concubine, Mannia, that he almost had a falling out with his father. He couldn't possibly fall in love with Mo Lan."

"What's wrong with our Molan? Young Master Qi can fall in love with that girl Minglan, so why doesn't anyone want my Molan?!" Lin Sushuang said angrily.

Sheng Molan also cried.

Wang Gang was annoyed by the disturbance between these two women, logically speaking, Sheng Hong, the father, should also worry about such things.

Thinking of Sheng Hong, Wang Gang's heart suddenly moved.

"Mother, have you discussed Mo Lan's marriage with Dad?"

Lin Sushuang's face changed, and Wang Gang got to the point in one sentence.

Of course, Lin Sushuang had discussed with Sheng Hong about her daughter's marriage, but Sheng Hong scolded her all day, saying that she was daydreaming all day long.

Sheng Hong also found a poor scholar for Mo Lan, saying that he was talented in literature, quick-witted, and had a bright future.

Lin Sushuang would not want her daughter to marry a poor scholar to endure hardship, so she approached Wang Gang, hoping to climb into the wealth of the Hou Mansion.

Wang Gang could see Lin Sushuang's thoughts at a glance.

"I still need to discuss with my father about Mo Lan's marriage."

Seeing that Wang Gang was not willing to help, Sheng Molan cried even louder.

"Mother, look at brother, if he is willing to help Minglan but not me, I am not his real sister."

Sheng Molan inherited Lin Sushuang's trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself three times, but it was a pity that she used the wrong person.

The reason why Lin Sushuang was able to succeed in every trial was because of Sheng Hong's preference for her.

Wang Gang will not be used to Sheng Molan.

"Your marriage should be taken care of by your father. If I surpass my father, it will be unfilial." Wang Gang stood up and said:
"You stay at home these few days and don't make trouble."

Seeing that Wang Gang was unmoved, Sheng Molan gradually lost the desire to cry.

Wang Gang said to Lin Sushuang: "Mother, I will take my leave."

Lin Sushuang looked at her son who was going away, and understood in her heart that when her son grew up, he had his own opinions, so she couldn't help him.

Wang Gang met with Sheng Hong the next day, one was to talk about his own marriage, and the other was about Mo Lan's marriage.

"Father, it doesn't have to be too shabby to hire the Hai family. If the money is not enough, I can make up for it here."

"No need, I will keep all the money you brought back home all these years for you, and nothing has been touched." Sheng Hong said with a smile:
"However, your marriage should be postponed for a while, you are the younger brother after all, and it will be your turn to wait for Changbai to finish first.

I have made an appointment with the Hai family, we will sign the marriage certificate first, and make the marriage arrangements, and we will hold the wedding after your palace examination. "

Wang Gang had no objection and said, "It's all about father's arrangement."

Sheng Hong sighed and said, "You have grown up too, and bought property in the capital, but I, the father, have nothing to help you. When you get married and become an official, you can share it out!"

Wang Gang said solemnly: "I will always be a descendant of the Sheng family."

The independence of the branch government means that Wang Gang's branch is completely independent from the Sheng family and can be regarded as the second house.

Although Sheng Hong focused on his reputation and had little affection for his family, he still had some sincerity towards his children.

In the original book, he and Changbai were trapped in the palace because of the civil strife in King Yan. In the critical moment of life and death, he also considered the escape of his children first, and only one of them could escape.

Sheng Hong didn't care too much about the distinction between the concubine and the concubine. No matter whether the concubine or the concubine, the education they received was the same. Even his daughter could go to a private school, which was extremely rare.

After all, this era emphasizes that women who have no talent are virtues.

It may also be because Sheng Hong was born as a bastard, so he can treat his children equally.

"I found a marriage for Mo Lan. The other party is a Jinshi Gongshi. He only needs to pass the palace examination to be a Jinshi. He has a bright future." Sheng Hong explained:
"The other party's family has a weak foundation, and his parents are also reasonable people. Mo Lan will never suffer when she marries."

Wang Gang saw that Sheng Hong had arranged everything well, and even the other party's parents understood clearly, so he understood that he was very concerned about Mo Lan's marriage.

"Everything is according to father's arrangement."

Sheng Hong laughed loudly and said, "Looking at your children growing up one by one and getting married soon, I can't resist my old age."

Wang Gang also said with a smile: "Father is growing old and strong. I heard that I have a young lady who is pregnant, so I need more brothers or sisters."

Sheng Hong said happily: "You kid dare to tease your father."

Wang Gang said goodbye to Sheng Hong with a smile, then returned to his room and continued to work on his own affairs.

The Sheng family and the Hai family quickly settled on the marriage, and Wang Gang never saw Miss Hai family from the beginning to the end.

But Sheng Hong asked someone to send Hai Chaoyun's portrait, Wang Gang had seen it, and it wasn't ugly anyway.

Sheng Changbai's marriage was soon settled. The other party's surname is Liu, and she is also the young lady of a scholarly family.

Miss Liu's family had engaged in baby marriage before, but when the other party's father passed away when they were about to get married, they had to observe mourning for three years.As a result, in the past three years, I couldn't hold back and made the servant girl's belly bigger.

When the Liu family heard about it, they immediately called off the marriage and got engaged to Sheng Changbai again.

Wang Gang had never met Miss Liu's family, but I heard that she was not very good-looking, but Sheng Changbai didn't mind, he said that marrying a wife is not seeking beauty.

Besides, the Liu family didn't have a rule that a concubine is allowed only after forty years of childlessness, so Wang Ruofu didn't object in the end.

After the palace examination is over, the Sheng family can hold a wedding.

Because King Yong's rebellion involved too much, there had been a lot of trouble for several months, and the court was in chaos, so the palace examination was postponed.

In September, the government finally issued an imperial decree that King Yong's family would be executed and the rest of the people involved in the case would be sent out of low status and exiled to a bitterly cold place.

When King Yong's family was beheaded, many people went to watch, and the beheading was supervised by Prince Zhao Shu.

Wang Gang also went to the execution ground to see King Yong off for the last time.

There was a huge crowd of people in the execution ground, Wang Gang squeezed in the middle, saw King Yong's family kneeling on the stage, people kept throwing things at them, Prince Zhao Shu did not stop them.

King Yong's mansion used to be too domineering, oppressing the people, committing crimes a lot, it can be said that there is no innocent person in King Yong's family.

Being beheaded today is also a great joy.

Wang Gang originally thought that the officials would look at King Yong's status as a royal family, and in the end give him a face, and give him poisoned wine.

Unexpectedly, the official family hated King Yong so much, maybe the love was so deep, the official family almost passed the throne to King Yong.

King Yong, who had been kneeling all this time, seemed to see Wang Gang in the crowd, and said something, but his voice was too low for anyone to hear him.

But Wang Gang understood what King Yong meant.

"I will let your son go." Wang Gang gestured to King Yong.

King Yong was relieved, then closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
