Chapter 125 Surprise

After serving tea, we chatted for a few more words.

Xu Wenhui ended the topic and prepared to leave!

But Sheng Hong suddenly seemed to remember something, frowned, and said with some embarrassment:

"What's that, Hui'er, there's something tricky here. I'm afraid I have to trouble you!"

After Sheng Hong finished speaking, seeing Xu Wenhui's displeasure, he quickly explained:

"That's what happened. Yesterday, my brother-in-law, Mr. Kang, asked me to do something with you. Because I didn't know about your relationship with Minglan at the time, I flatly refused on the grounds that the relationship between the two families was normal!

But now we are going to be a family... If my brother-in-law knows... this... I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between our Kang and Wang families... After all, are we relatives? Look at this..."

Sheng Hong did suddenly think of this matter. Without this marriage, it would be okay to reject Kang Haifeng so much before.

But if suddenly there was news of a marriage between the Xu family and the Sheng family, would that guy Kang Haifeng still have to misunderstand him?

Although Sheng Hong didn't want to help, he didn't want to affect the relationship between the Kangsheng family for no reason, let alone involve the Wang family!

Besides, he also wanted to test Xu Wenhui's attitude towards his family, so he took the opportunity to bring it up!

When Sheng Hong mentioned his brother-in-law's family, Xu Wenhui naturally thought of the vicious Kang Wang family.

Speaking of which, if Sheng Hong hadn't mentioned it, Xu Wenhui would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

According to the original work, this Kang Wang family was the one who planned to poison his great-aunt in the future.

Although nothing has happened yet, he won't do anything for such a nasty person.

Although he refused in his heart, the expression on Xu Wenhui's face did not change. He was still calm. He thought about it pretending to be thoughtful, then said "Oh" and said:

"It's the Kang family. I seem to remember that there seems to be no one in the Kang family now, right?"

Hearing that Xu Wenhui looked down on the Kang family, Sheng Hong was somewhat embarrassed and explained:

"It's not as good as before, but our two families are family friends! There are some things we really can't refuse!"

Xu Wenhui hummed, as if he was too lazy to comment, and then asked:

"Cousin, what do the Kang family want?"

Seeing that Xu Wenhui had hit on the point, Sheng Hong perked up and replied:

"Brother Kang wants to arrange for two concubines who are about to come of age to enter the Guards and Military Department. I wonder if it is convenient for my nephew?"

"Haha, Lord Kang has a small official position and a lot of ideas. He actually wants to arrange for two sons to be brought in at once!"

Xu Wenhui looked a little embarrassed when he saw Sheng Hong's face. After thinking about it, it was the first time that his future father-in-law had spoken.

If I didn't show any expression at all, I'm afraid my aunt and Minglan would both be blamed.

However, Xu Wenhui was unwilling to say anything if it was arranged for the Kang family, so he thought for a moment and asked:

"Cousin, I once heard my grandmother and sister Minglan talk about it. It seems that your Sheng family still has a Dafang lineage in Youyang's hometown. I wonder if this is the case?"

Sheng Hong was a little angry because he felt that Xu Wenhui didn't take the Sheng family seriously at all.

Suddenly hearing Xu Wenhui turn the topic to his cousin Sheng Wei from Youyang's hometown, Sheng Hong felt a little strange.

I wanted to ignore Xu Wenhui, but I was still a little scared when I thought about Xu Wenhui's method of dealing with the Wang family.

However, he could not remain indifferent to being rejected. Sheng Hong replied expressionlessly:

"Yes, Youyang is the ancestral home of the Sheng family, and my cousin's family still lives there!"

Xu Wenhui seemed not to notice Sheng Hong's expression, and then replied:

"I heard that Sheng Jiaofang's family intends to pursue a military career. I wonder if this is true?"

After saying that, he picked up the tea cup and tasted it, leaving Sheng Hong with room to think! Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his thoughts became more active.

The meaning of Xu Wenhui's words is very obvious. He intends to support their Sheng family lineage!

Compared to the Kang family, we are naturally closer to the Dafang family.

They and Dafang are a real family. They are both surnamed Sheng, and they are very close and live in harmony. They are definitely both prosperous and disadvantaged!

As for the Kang family, at worst, I can just make up for it later. The big house’s affairs are more important.

With Xu Wenhui's power in the army, why worry about the Dafang line not being prosperous? So Sheng Hong immediately looked solemn and said,

Said:

"Hui'er, you are really well-informed. My two nephews, Changsong and Changwu, are both skilled in bow and horse.

I just regret that I didn’t get the chance! Otherwise, he would have immediately gone into battle to serve the country! "

"That's it!" Xu Wenhui also looked as if he was stunned, thought for a while and said:

"My nephew from Dongchang is now leading troops in Zhangzhou..."

Before Xu Wenhui finished speaking, Sheng Hong said:

"But the famous General Xu Dongchang among the generals of the Xu family?"

Among the generals of the Xu family, apart from Xu Wenhui, the absolute core, Xu Wenbin and Xu Dongchang are the most famous.

Sheng Hong often pays attention to the Xu family's things, so he naturally knows Xu Dongchang's name!

Nowadays, there are rebellions in the south, but Xu Dongchang has traveled to many places to perform meritorious service. Officials in the court often praise him, and he may be promoted soon!

Didn't my nephew just follow him in the past and get some credit?

As for safety issues, Sheng Hong never thought about it at all.

With Xu Wenhui's recommendation, his nephew must be acting together with the army. The small rebellions in the south are simply out of character and pose no threat!

Sheng Hong was very happy when he thought about the future when the Sheng family would be prosperous both in civil and military affairs!

However, Xu Wenhui hasn't said anything in detail yet, and Sheng Hong doesn't want to show off too much, so he pretends to be regretful and says:

"Oh, I have also been friends with General Xu Dongchang for a long time. I only wish I had never met him again!"

What they have been friends with for a long time is just a talk. Xu Wenhui didn't bother to comment and went on to say:

"Nephew Dongchang wrote a letter a few days ago, asking me to recommend some young talents to him for training.

If my cousin doesn't mind, I can write a letter and recommend brothers Changsong and Changwu! "

Hearing what Xu Wenhui said, Sheng Hong could no longer afford to be reserved and smiled excitedly:

"Haha, oh, I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, my Sheng family has the unshirkable responsibility to protect our family and country! Then I will thank Hui'er on behalf of my big brother Nawei!"

As he said that, he picked up the tea and offered Xu Wenhui a cup.

It turned out that Xu Wenhui drank a lot of tea in front of him, and he even pretended to pour tea for Xu Wenhui!

"Come on, come on, thank you Hui'er for your hard work..."

Naturally, Xu Wenhui would not wait carelessly for his elders to pour tea, so he quickly stopped Sheng Hong.

And he grabbed the teapot from Sheng Hong's hand, poured a cup for Sheng Hong first, and then poured some for himself!

The atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious!

Sheng Hong never mentioned anything about the Kang family again, as if he had forgotten it!
