Chapter 28 Meeting Sheng Hong for the first time (please read and recommend)

"Oh, I met the Yuan family's fleet at the dock. It's just that my simple carriage made it to Yangzhou a step faster than the Yuan family's! I think the Yuan family will arrive in a day or two!
  Brother Zecheng, don’t worry, haha! "

Although Xu Wenhui only nudged it slightly, Sheng Changbai was also a smart person and immediately understood the meaning.
  They met at the dock, but they didn't go together, and they didn't hear of any quarrel between the Xu family and the Yuan family. It was probably because the Yuan family acted inappropriately, that's why Xu Wenhui didn't want to go with the Yuan family!
  However, Xu Wenhui also mentioned that the Yuan family would be arriving soon and would not delay the collection date, so it must not be a big deal.

Despite this, Sheng Changbai's heart still sank a little. The ceremony of accepting the invitation was solemn and elegant. If there was anything wrong, the Sheng family's face would be easily damaged!

What is wrong with the Yuan family?
  Although Sheng Changbai was thinking in his heart, there was no change on his face. He nodded with a clear expression:

"Oh, that's it!" After saying that, the topic changed, and then Mrs. Sheng said with a smile:

"Haha, speaking of which, although grandma has been a little tired recently, she was very happy to hear the news that you were coming, Bo Sheng. According to my eldest sister, grandma has even eaten more food recently!" Thinking of home Sheng Changbai also felt a little distressed by his grandmother's urgent need to miss her relatives. Moreover, if he saw his grandmother, maybe the young Marquis would give more advice for his grandmother's sake! He asked tentatively:
  "If it's easier for Bo Sheng, why don't you go back with me and see grandma by the way?"

……

Just as Xu Wenhui and Sheng Changbai were chatting,
  In the prosperous family of Tongpan Mansion,
  Madam Wang Ruofu and Lord Sheng Hong were not calm either.
  Especially the eldest lady Wang Ruofu,
  He kept walking around the room, looking out from time to time, and mumbling,
  Sheng Hong’s head was so big after seeing this that he finally couldn’t help shouting:
  "Oh, you're done, why are you going back and forth like this? It's so shaking that my eyes are dizzy!"

Wang Ruofu had something on his mind at the moment, so he didn't care about Sheng Hong's attitude. Hearing this, he stood firm and said:

"Oh, sir, aren't I worried? We, Changbai, have always been upright, and we have never dealt with these princes' children. Do you think Changbai will offend the young prince?"

"Don't worry, Changbai has returned to his original position, but he has always been a polite and sensible person. The young marquis has come in person now because he intends to have friendship with my family. He will definitely not show off to Changbai like those children from aristocratic families!"

In fact, Sheng Hong was also a little worried. It was not that she was worried about Sheng Changbai's injustice. The main reason was that the Xu family and the Yuan family were both in the capital.

We haven't arrived in Yangzhou together yet,
  Sheng Hong instinctively had some bad thoughts, so he sent Sheng Changbai to test it out!
  After listening to Sheng Hong's analysis, Wang Ruofu also felt that it was reasonable. He turned his mind to his children's marriage and said with a smile:
  "Now that the Yuan family will come to Yangzhou to collect troops soon, Hua'er's matter has been decided. I just don't know what the young marquis looks like and whether he is a good match for our Ru'er!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Ruofu would say such a thing at this juncture. Sheng Hong was startled and immediately scolded:
  "Stop talking nonsense! Don't talk nonsense about Wuying!"

Seeing Sheng Hong's reaction, Wang Ruofu felt a little silly and looked puzzled, and asked:
  "What's the matter with no shadow? Didn't you, the official, tell me that our family and the Marquis' Mansion are related, and it would be best if we could get closer!"

When Sheng Hong heard that Wang Ruofu was so sincere, his head got bigger. He quickly looked around and saw that except for his two confidants, they were all far away. He probably didn't hear him, so he relaxed a little and warned in a low voice:

"I let you know, and I didn't let you publicize it loudly. If this spreads out, you and I will laugh to death!" "We are all relatives, so what are you afraid of if it spreads..." Wang Ruofu disagreed. He muttered something, and saw Sheng Hong looking at him seriously. After all, he had to give Sheng Hong some face, and said nothing more.

However, Wang Ruofu was not a person who could keep his temper. After a while, he couldn't help but ask:
  "Hey, officer, you think it's strange. The Marquis Mansion and the Yuan family are both in Bianjing. They are both aristocratic families. Logically speaking, they should be familiar with each other.
  Why did they come one after another? I thought we would come together two days ago, and I didn't prepare a separate banquet for the young marquis.
  Fortunately, these days are Hualan's big days, and the government is well prepared, otherwise it would be really timid! "

Sheng Hong glanced at Wang Ruofu and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Fortunately, Changbai, Hualan and the others didn't follow this eldest lady. At what time is that little bit of banquet important?

Wang Ruofu didn't know what Sheng Hong was thinking. Seeing that he didn't respond, he didn't take it seriously. Then he sat on the chair next to Sheng Hong and started chattering about the food and wine he had prepared!
  Just when Sheng Hong couldn't help but want to interrupt,
  A boy ran in outside the door,
  Sheng Hong recognized that this man was also one of the boys who followed Chang Bai. He no longer cared about Wang Ruofu and asked anxiously:

"No need to salute, tell me quickly, what happened? Why did you come back alone, but Changbai has something to explain?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu turned around and stared at the boy nervously.

"Where is my son Changbai? Why hasn't he come back?"

When the boy saw this, he didn't even bother to breathe. He swallowed hard to suppress the breath and said quickly:
  "The young marquis wants to visit the old lady and is already on his way here. The young master asked me to come back quickly to inform him so that we can prepare for the reception!"

Upon hearing what the boy said, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu stood up in shock. Sheng Hong said excitedly:

"What, the young Marquis is coming to visit and is already on his way?
  Come on, madam, get ready! By the way, remember to inform the old lady of Shouantang, and I will go to the front hall to greet you! "

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruofu quickly agreed and ordered his servants to start working.
  Sheng Hong walked quickly towards the front hall, preparing to greet Xu Wenhui in person.
  But after taking just two steps, Sheng Hong realized that he was acting a little impatient.
  After all, I am a scholar, so I cannot lose my dignity.
  So he waved his sleeves coolly, then put his hands behind his back, held his head high, took square steps, and walked out with a calm look on his face!

When Xu Wenhui and Sheng Changbai arrived,
  Just look at a middle-aged handsome guy sitting in front of the hall,

It's very similar to what you see on TV.
  Wearing a dark brown robe, although it is ordinary clothes,
  But he also appears to be personable, has a good temperament, and has an air of elegance.

I think this is Mr. Sheng Hong.
  Sheng Changbai's voice also reached my ears at the right time.
  "Father, this is my grandmother's great-nephew Xu Wenhui, whose pseudonym is Boxeng! Boxheng heard that my grandmother was unwell and wanted to come to visit her!" After saying that, Sheng Changbai looked at Xu Wenhui again and introduced:
  "Bo Sheng, this is my father!"
