Chapter 182 Rejection
In Shengjing in August, the imperial court was fine.

Emperor Yuanchang's health deteriorated day by day, which belonged to the secret of the court.The empress was afraid that the prince was young and the courtiers' hearts would be unstable, and that Emperor Yuanchang vomited blood several times at night, so she only told Zhen Xianhou Xue Laohou, and no one else knew about it.

As for the talk in the streets and alleys, the first thing is that the crown prince opened the mansion, and Sheng Xiuyi, the eldest son of the Shengchang Hou mansion, became the prince's junior teacher, and began to give lectures to the prince after the Mid-Autumn Festival.The second is Sheng Xiumu, the third master of Shengchanghou's mansion, and Shan Jiayu, the seventh lady of Shan Guogong's mansion, began to talk about marriage.

Mrs. Shan invited Mrs. Yao, Dingyuan Hou, as a matchmaker.

The marriage of the right family, the Sheng, Shan and Dingyuanhou's mansions are also related by marriage, Mrs. Yao is happy to do her best, and she is also diligent in walking to the Sheng's house.

Sheng Xiumu has passed the age of marriage, and all his cousins ​​have married and established businesses, so his marriage can no longer be postponed.With a suitable family, Mrs. Sheng has seen Shan Jiayu with her own eyes again, and is satisfied with Shan Jiayu's character, appearance and family background. Naturally, she hopes to settle the marriage soon.

As for the Shan mansion, although Mrs. Shan Xue is the queen's younger sister, there is no one in the Shan family who is an official in the court. Before the empress Xue's mother was married to the world, the Shan country's mansion was considered a lonely nobleman.Accustomed to watching the highs and lows, the Duke of Shan Kingdom's mansion who is following the trend, he is not arrogant and picky about his sister's marriage.They still lived their lives cautiously, did not show picky faces because of gaining power, and quickly agreed to the Sheng family's marriage proposal.

Once the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, the Sheng family released Xiao Ding, and Sheng Xiumu's wedding was set on the first day of March next year.

Sheng Xiumu didn't care about this marriage, he reacted lightly.Although he didn't say he disagreed, he couldn't see his liking.

After Sheng Xiumu's wedding date was set, Sheng Changhou discussed with Sheng Xiuyi, reorganized the courtyard in the northeast corner of Shengchanghou's mansion, and built a house as Sheng Xiumu's new house.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sheng Leyu's burnt yard was rebuilt and a pond was dug.

Dong Yuan was surprised when he heard that a pond was to be built in Sheng Leyu's former yard.

There are so many ponds in the Sheng family...
She suddenly thought of something bad, and her back felt a little cold.

Maybe it was because she was careless, Sheng Xiuyi didn't say much about it.It was just that Sheng Leyu was suddenly mentioned again, which made him sad for several days.

Sheng Xiumu and Shan Jiayu's marriage was finalized on the day when the grandma of the fifth aunt of the Sheng family and the eldest daughter-in-law of Princess Wen Jing returned to the Sheng family, and she had a cold face when she entered the door.

That day, Dong Yuan happened to be talking in Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion, and the second grandma, Ge Shi, Sheng Leyun, and Sheng Lehui were joking around, and Grandma Wugu came back without waiting for the porter to report, and went directly to the inner courtyard.

Seeing Grandma Wugu come in, Second Mistress Ge Shi felt a little guilty.

Mrs. Sheng was slightly surprised, she was very displeased with her rudeness, but she didn't show it, she smiled and asked her to sit down, and ordered the maids to serve tea.

Dong Yuan got up and gave the seat on the kang to Grandma Wugu.

"Sister-in-law, why did Brother Mu talk about the relationship, why didn't you say hello, and just made an appointment?" Fifth Auntie asked Madam Sheng in a cold voice without beating around the bush.He has a big posture and is not respectful to Mrs. Sheng.

Second Mistress Ge Shi lowered her head.

Dong Yuan glanced at Grandma Wugu, saw the servant girl came in with a gold-painted tray, went up to her personally, put the tea cup painted with begonia flowers from Ru kiln on Grandma Wugu's hand, and invited her to drink tea.

Mrs. Sheng's eyes twitched, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said with a gentle smile, "Ah Rou, how can you tell my sister-in-law to answer you? My nephew just sent someone to report to my aunt, isn't there such a rule? ?”

Dong Yuan winked at Sheng Leyun and Sheng Lehui at the side, telling the two children to go out first.Seeing Mrs. Sheng's tone, although soft, she didn't intend to let Grandma Wugu.

The two quarreled, and it was always disrespectful to be seen by the children.

Sheng Lehui was smarter, and she understood Dong Yuan's wink immediately, and got up and took her sister's hand; Sheng Leyun was slower to react, but when she saw Sheng Lehui pulling her, she also understood, and the two little men retreated from the side lightly.

Grandma Wugu sneered: "Sister-in-law is pretending to be confused? What is the identity of your niece? Why did the Marquis of Qin Wei want to marry her? Are you like a bright mirror in your heart? Since you agreed to Qin Yi's marriage, you naturally understand the meaning of Princess Hexu. Intention. You are good, your niece is married, and you will quietly settle Brother Mu’s marriage. Isn’t this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? How do you want me to behave in front of Princess Hexu in the future?”

Mrs. Sheng's face darkened.

Dong Yuan was about to answer the conversation, when the maid outside said that Master Hou was back.

Several people hurriedly got up and saluted Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou was wearing a sky-blue straight gown, and glanced at everyone with a stern expression, which made everyone excuse himself.

Everyone sat down again, Mrs. Sheng gave up the seat to Sheng Changhou, and she sat on the nanmu Taishi chair along the row of kang.Dong Yuan and his second mistress, Ge Shi, moved one seat back and sat under Mrs. Sheng.

Sheng Changhou asked: "Why are you back?"

The tone of Grandma Wugu was very cold.

Grandma Wugu didn't have much respect for Sheng Changhou, so she snorted coldly and said again in front of Sheng Changhou what she had just said to Mrs. Sheng.

Dong Yuan and Second Grandma's heartstrings were tense, for fear that Sheng Changhou would get angry.

Sheng Changhou remained silent for a while.

Grandma Wugu said again: "Eldest Princess Hexu questioned me, if I don't give an explanation, their second daughter-in-law won't want it either."

The servant girl came in with a teacup and gently placed it by Sheng Changhou's hand.

Sheng Changhou picked it up, lifted the lid of the cup, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.He took a sip, smashed the teacup on the ground, and said angrily, "The tea is cold! Who cares about the tea today?"

Kang's mother hurried forward and said the maid's name.

Sheng Changhou said: "Drag it down and hit ten boards, throw it out!"

Mother Kang's legs were trembling with fright, she hurriedly said yes, turned around and walked out quickly.

Dong Yuan sat with Second Mistress, not daring to vent his breath; Mrs. Sheng didn't say a word, and let Sheng Changhou send the servant girl down.

After smashing the teacup, Sheng Changhou breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Grandma Wugu.Her gaze was sharp, like a fierce wind blowing towards her face, Grandma Wugu subconsciously moved back, and then she pretended not to be afraid to look at Sheng Changhou.But in the end, he was forced to turn his eyes away by Sheng Changhou's gaze.

"Go back and tell Wei Guoping that his daughter-in-law should be expelled or killed, as he pleases. The water thrown by the married daughter, besides, his daughter-in-law's surname is not Sheng, has nothing to do with our house. "Sheng Changhou coldly withdrew his gaze and said to Grandma Wugu.

Wei Guoping is the name of Princess Hexu's son-in-law and Marquis of Qin Wei.

Grandma Wugu obviously didn't expect Sheng Changhou to speak like this, her face turned purple instantly, her lips parted, she didn't know what to say for a while.She was stunned for a long time before saying: "Second Brother, do you really mean what you say?"

Mrs. Sheng suddenly raised her head to look at Grandma Wugu, and wanted to say something, but was caught by Sheng Changhou's stern eyes, and the words stuck in her throat.

Grandma Wugu always called Sheng Changhou the eldest brother, but here she calls her second brother.Dong Yuan's heart moved slightly, she thought of the lobby brother Sheng Xiuchen who came last year.At that time, Mrs. Sheng said that Marquis Shengchang had a concubine who lived in Huizhou and died early.

Mrs. Sheng clenched her handkerchief tightly, and with an idea, she said to Dong Yuan and Second Mistress Ge Shi: "Your sister-in-law, go and make a cup of tea for your father."

This is to send Dong Yuan and Second Mistress away.

Dong Yuan and Second Mistress were nervous, fearing that Marquis Sheng Chang would get angry and hurt Chi Yu. Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law got up quickly and went to the outside room.

"Of course it is serious!" After the two daughters-in-law left, Sheng Changhou's expression became more serious and cold, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at Grandma Wugu, "Did our family beg you to go to Princess Hexu's mansion to propose marriage? Back then you said you would marry Sister Yi Is it the purpose of my son? Where did our house slip up?"

Fifth Aunt's angry eyes and lips trembled: "Second brother, you are so upside down, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Sheng Changhou slammed the Kang table, stood up, and yelled, "I am wrong in black and white? If I am wrong, point it out first, and then say that I am wrong in black and white!"

Grandma Wugu was frightened by his arrogance, she couldn't help shrinking back on the kang, and then tried to brace herself up, but saw Shengchang Hou slowly turned to the northwest wall, and took a black iron sword hanging in his hand.Grandma Wugu turned pale in shock, got up suddenly, hid behind Mrs. Sheng, and shouted: "Sheng Wenhui, how dare you commit murder!"

Mrs. Sheng was also in a hurry, and hurried forward to pull Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou didn't draw his sword, but just looked at Wugu's grandmother who was hiding behind the chair and sneered: "Useless things, you are cruel, and you dare to come to my house to act wildly! You owe discipline!"

Grandma Wugu was indeed stern, seeing Sheng Changhou holding the sword, all the anger on her face disappeared, only fear remained, and she looked at Sheng Changhou in horror: "You... you dare to do it... Princess Wen Jing will not let you go... . . . you are nothing now . . . "

"Kill you? Dirty my place!" Sheng Changhou threw his sword aside and said with a sneer, "Go back! What kind of bastard are you, dare to come to my house and talk to my wife so impolitely? I praise you and marry you Go to Princess Wenjing's mansion; if you don't praise you, you will be like that dead slut, unworthy of being a concubine! Go back and tell Princess Hexu that I, Sheng Wenhui, are nothing, but my son's marriage is not my turn Outsiders intervene. Get out or not?"

"You...you..." Grandma Wugu's face was contorted when she heard Sheng Changhou scolding so viciously, she was angry and afraid, "What did you promise back then!"

"What did you promise?" Sheng Changhou sneered, "I promised to let you be my younger sister and give you the dignity of Miss Houfu. How could I have made a mistake? If I hadn't promised, you, a bastard like you, would be able to fight with me in front of my face." Talk? You are not worthy of licking the soles of my shoes! This is the last time, if you dare to go to the Shengchang Hou Mansion to take money from your aunt next time..."

After that, he walked to the sword that was thrown on the ground, and kicked the sword with his foot: "Do you still remember how the bitch who gave birth to you died?"

Grandma Wugu's feet were weak, and her body couldn't help shaking.

Mrs. Sheng was also pale, and only then stepped forward and said to Grandma Wugu, "Hurry up and go..."

Grandma Wugu staggered and ran out.

Mrs. Sheng looked at her panicked back, and looked worriedly at Sheng Changhou: "Master Hou, why are you bringing this up again? If she said it..."
