Chapter 116 Flexible Mind

While Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang were drinking,

Sheng Hong also just came back from socializing outside.

Together in Jiying Lane,

When passing by, I happened to pass by the gate of Cao's house.

Sheng Hong didn't feel anything wrong in the carriage, but his coachman recognized Xu Wenhui's carriage parked near the door of Cao's house.

Then he said to Sheng Hong in the carriage:

"Master, I seem to have seen Master Biao's carriage at the door of Cao's house?"

Just because the Cao family doesn't care about the Sheng family doesn't mean that the Sheng family doesn't care about the Cao family.

Who in the entire alley doesn’t know that the Cao family is the queen’s natal family! Everyone has to show some respect!

I'm afraid there will be some collision and offend the Cao Mansion!

Sheng Hong didn't react when he heard it, and said doubtfully:

"Who is at the door of Cao's house?"

After saying that, I thought that the head of the Cao family was now serving in the Guards and Military Department, and he happened to be colleagues with Xu Wenhui. I immediately understood what the coachman meant. Xu Wenhui must be a guest at the Cao family, so he stood up from a squatting position.

"Drive slowly, drive slowly!"

As he spoke, he opened the door curtain and looked over at Cao's house, wanting to confirm!

Xu Wenhui's carriage was naturally marked with the emblem of the Marquis Mansion. Sheng Hong confirmed at a glance that it was indeed Xu Wenhui's carriage!

After confirming this situation, Sheng Hong couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Let’s see how to get into the Cao family through Xu Wenhui,

Sheng Hong's achievements in affairs and political affairs are average, but he is very good at interpersonal communication.

He believed in that saying, the good wind will send me to the blue clouds by virtue of its power.

If his father's identity as Tanhualang hadn't accumulated a lot of connections for him, how could he have been transferred back to Bianjing to enjoy this colorful world?

I don’t know which place I’m in, but I’m still the county magistrate!

I thought maybe Cao Guozhang would send Xu Wenhui out in person later.

Would his cousin Sheng Hong want to come out and have a chance encounter?

But after a second thought, Sheng Hong gave up the idea.

My carriage has already passed by Cao's house, it would be a bit deliberate if I keep showing off!

But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that there is nothing that can be done about it.

Xu Wenhui came to Jiying Lane. Although he was a guest at Cao's house,

But my great-aunt is here, why shouldn't he come and visit her?

When the time comes, the Cao family will be mentioned, and there will be something to talk about next time we meet.

After thinking of this, Sheng Hong was in a good mood and said with a smile:

"Let's go back home!"

……

After Sheng Hong returned home,

I hurriedly changed my clothes in Wei Ruixuan.

Then we came to Shou'an Hall,

If Xu Wenhui comes to visit his great-aunt later, he must show his filial piety!

Once entering the gate of Shou'an Hall,

Sheng Hong saw the old lady at home chatting with Minglan and playing with a pot of flowers.

She was even more happy to see Minglan also with Sheng Hong,

So he bowed to the old lady first, then sat down, looked at Minglan and said with a smile:

"Haha, I'll be back tomorrow! How about it? What did you learn from Grandma Kong today? Tell me as a father!"

Minglan felt a little awkward when she saw Sheng Hong being so affectionate.

Ever since I heard my grandmother say that this father might speculate about her and Xu Wenhui's affairs, my attitude towards her has changed drastically.

He always greeted me when he saw nothing, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She was still a little uncomfortable. She was obviously his biological daughter, but her father treated her like this because of someone else...

It’s too hypocritical!

Although she felt awkward in her heart, Minglan looked respectful and said, "Father, today Grandma Kong taught you how to arrange flowers. Tomorrow I will ask my grandmother for advice!"

"Oh, flower arrangement? Is it this pot?" Sheng Hong stood up and walked to the two of them. After taking a look at it, he was very impressed and said:

"Okay, okay! We will be very ingenious tomorrow. Mother, look at these flowers.

The color is very suitable. If it is less, it will be tacky. If it is more, it will be gorgeous. Now it is perfect! Really good! I couldn’t put it down after watching it! "

Sheng Hong was just complimenting him, so don't mention Ming Lan now.

Even Mrs. Sheng’s city can’t bear it anymore.

He quickly stopped talking and asked:

"Do you have anything to tell me when you come here now?"

When Mrs. Sheng thought about it, her eldest son would never set foot in her Shou'an Hall if nothing happened!

Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile:

"Haha, I have nothing to do today, I just wanted to see my mother tomorrow!

Speaking of which, I have been busy with work these days, and I have never had time to come and visit my mother. Today I have some free time, so I came to my mother's place to sit there! "

Hearing what Sheng Hong said, Mrs. Sheng and Minglan looked at each other, both confused!

When did Sheng Hong come to Shou'antang when he had free time?

But since Sheng Hong was here to express his filial piety, Mrs. Sheng couldn't say much.

After ordering people to serve tea, he and Ming Lan chatted with Sheng Hong all the time!

Talk about the trivial matters in the mansion, and talk about what you have seen in the Marquis Mansion,

The atmosphere among the three of them was very harmonious for a while.

Soon half an hour passed,

Mrs. Sheng and Minglan didn't have anything to do with it. They just felt that Sheng Hong was a little different from usual today!

But Sheng Hong couldn't sit still and became a little agitated. He had calculated the time for the bodyguard and military commander to lower his teeth.

By the time he came back, Xu Wenhui should have been at Cao's house for a while.

According to his thinking, by the time he arrived at Shou'an Hall, Xu Wenhui might have rushed up.

It's almost an hour now,

Why don't you come over? Even if something happens, it should be almost done by now.

Could it be that this guy is not coming? Thinking of this, Sheng Hong was a little unsure.

I was ready to go out for a look, so I stood up and saluted Mrs. Sheng.

"Mother, I just remembered that there are some unfinished business in the front hall...this..."

Seeing that Sheng Hong was about to leave, Mrs. Sheng naturally did not stop her and nodded:

"Go, go! You should be busy with your business. I'll be here tomorrow! Don't worry too much about me!"

Sheng Hong nodded repeatedly and told Minglan to take good care of her grandmother.

Just say goodbye and leave!

When Sheng Hong leaves,

After Minglan saluted, she sat next to Mrs. Sheng.

He said slightly curiously:

"Grandma, my father is quite different today than usual!"

She has been in this Shou'an Hall for several years, and she has never seen Sheng Hong come here to accompany her grandmother and ask her for her welfare!

At most it’s just a formality!

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she was also a little confused about Sheng Hong's behavior. She observed it more carefully than Minglan, and said with some uncertainty:

"There seems to be something wrong. My father is a little more impatient than usual, as if he is waiting for something?"

Minglan murmured to herself, showing a puzzled expression.

"What are you waiting for? What could it be?"
