So, she said confidently, "Don't worry, your father is the best to talk to. I will talk to her in the evening."
Seeing that Lin Qinshuang agreed so readily, Molan's cloudy sky immediately turned sunny and a smile appeared on her face.
……
Although most of Lin Qinshuang's people were sold when they came to Tokyo, and it was not convenient for her to buy people after arriving in Tokyo, after five or six years of hard work, she already had a few people she could use.
In addition, Sheng Hong's long-time attendant Dong Rong had already been bribed by her, so she easily seduced Sheng Hong who had just returned home.
Sheng Hong received a lot of goodwill from his colleagues in the court today, and they were all asking about the relationship between him and Wang Yue, either openly or secretly.
The reason was that Wang Yue greeted him when he entered the palace today, which made everyone remember that he was related to this lecturer in the Hanlin Academy.
Even the Minister of Works went out of his way to say a few more words to him, which was something that didn't happen normally.
After listening to flattery all day, Sheng Hong returned home and heard Lin Qinshuang's people asking him to come over. He was ready to enjoy himself in the land of tenderness for a while longer, but he didn't expect to hear sobbing sounds as soon as he entered Lin Qi Pavilion.
Sheng Hong thought that Madam Sheng was bullying his concubine again, so he asked unhappily, "What happened?"
Nanny Zhou beside Lin Qinshuang quickly said, "I don't know either. It's just that the fourth young lady went to the courtyard next door and started crying when she came back for some reason. Aunt Lin went to ask about it and she also started crying."
Chapter 195: It’s hard to be an imperial teacher!
Sheng Hong became even angrier, and he was even more certain that Aunt Lin was being bullied, so he wanted to turn around and find the eldest lady to question her.
But just as he took a few steps, he remembered that he didn't ask anything. He didn't know how to tell the lady and might even get retorted.
So, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Shuang'er, what happened? Can you tell me in detail?"
Lin Qinshuang shook her head and said in a very weak and pitiful voice, "It's nothing. I just feel sorry for Molan. If it weren't for her mother, how come everyone else could study with the maids in the palace, but Molan couldn't?"
Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What do you mean by learning from the maids in the palace? Explain it to me clearly."
Lin Qinshuang wiped the tears that she had finally squeezed out of her eyes, and said very sadly, "Isn't Brother Yue already a fifth-rank official? As long as she marries Minglan, Minglan will definitely be granted an imperial decree, just like Brother Yue's mother.
The old lady thought that since it was an imperial decree, she would have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the queen, so she asked the palace maid to teach Minglan, and the eldest lady also asked the old lady to ask someone to take Rulan with her. Only poor Molan like me, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to use the imperial decree in my lifetime. "
After hearing what Lin Qinshuang said, Sheng Hong was stunned. He didn't expect it was because of this. He hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal. Why are you crying? When I have a day off, I will go find the old lady and ask her to ask the nanny to teach one more child."
Lin Qinshuang knew that people who came out of the palace were not so easy to talk to, and she was afraid that even the old lady's words might not count, so she was in a difficult situation.
Seeing that Sheng Hong had taken care of the matter, she pretended to be worried and asked, "Honglang, this won't embarrass you, right? If that's the case, then forget it. It's okay for Molan not to learn. After all, she came out of my belly."
After Sheng Hong heard this, his masculinity immediately came out, and he said firmly, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Seeing that Sheng Hong agreed, Lin Qinshuang was very happy, and she immediately got into Sheng Hong's arms and used all her skills to make Sheng Hong's bones go soft.
……
Orchid Garden, Fu'an Pavilion
It's very lively at Old Madam Sheng's place at the moment. Not only are Minglan and Changdong accompanying her, but Wang Yue, who is on leave today, is also there. There is also Nanny Kong who just came out of the palace.
Chang Dong was originally very curious about how the princes attended classes, so he asked Wang Yue, "Cousin, do the princes make trouble in class? Will they be spanked?"
The reason why he asked this was because he went to the private school a few days ago and was beaten on the hand a lot because he couldn't sit still.
Of course Wang Yue couldn't say that he was being cautious. Wouldn't that be embarrassing in front of his brother-in-law?
So, he just said very casually, "The princes are all descendants of the princes and dragons. How could I dare to hit them?"
Seeing Wang Yue say this, Madam Kong suddenly said, "Mr. Zhuangyuan is too modest. I heard from the maids in the palace that when you lose your temper, the princes are so scared that they become like quails, not to mention how obedient they are."
Old Madam Sheng was stunned for a moment. She had never heard Wang Yue talk about this before, so she asked curiously, "Really? How come we haven't heard any news at all?"
Seeing that Old Lady Sheng really didn't know, Madam Kong said helplessly, "You! You often go to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, so you must have known the news a long time ago. This matter must have spread among the nobles a long time ago."
Seeing that Madam Kong had stopped talking here, Madam Sheng said unhappily, "You old thing have learned to keep people in suspense when you talk. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't you see so many people are listening?"
Seeing that Wang Yue had no intention of stopping her, Madam Kong smiled and said, "I just heard about it. It is said that a prince actually said that understanding the local customs and culture is useless. They can't go to the real place to see it. Learning these things is the same as not learning them. It is a pure waste of time.
So, our top scholar got angry. He slammed the table hard and then said angrily, "There is no useless knowledge, only useless people!"
Madam Kong paused for a moment before she smiled and explained, "After the number one scholar finished speaking, the legs of the table broke and fell to the ground, shocking the princes.
Your Majesty just happened to pass by and praised the champion for being able to control people when he was off his horse and control soldiers when he was on his horse, which was quite like the style of an ancient gentleman. "
After hearing this, Old Madam Sheng frowned and said, "Brother Yue, if the prince doesn't like what you say, just say something else. Why bother getting angry in the palace?"
Wang Yue sighed. He was actually very helpless. Perhaps because his official position was too low, these princes and grandsons of the emperor simply did not listen to him. Attending his class was like attending a vegetable market.
Normally he would just turn a blind eye to it, but that day he heard some noise and it was obvious that the emperor was coming. If he continued like this, he would be punished.
So he prepared to use force to intimidate. He happened to hear the prince sent to the palace by Prince Gong say that geography and humanities were useless, so he took the opportunity to intimidate.
After all, Prince Gong was a famously carefree prince, and offending him would be no big deal. At most, if you met him one day, you would just have to apologize in person.
Seeing the old lady's worry, he said helplessly, "Old lady, if possible, I certainly don't want to do this, but I just happened to hear your majesty passing by and the princes were making a fuss. If I don't stop them, I'm afraid I will be demoted."
After listening to Wang Yue's explanation, both Mrs. Sheng and Madam Kong were a little surprised. They didn't expect that this was the reason why Wang Yue got so angry. Especially Mrs. Sheng, she glanced at Minglan secretly with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Minglan couldn't help but lower her head. She knew that the old lady was comforting her, but Wang Yue was still there at this time, so she didn't dare to look at the old lady.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Yue's behavior. Since he had become an official, he should try his best to protect himself and climb up.
While they were chatting in the room, the housekeeper who was guarding the old lady suddenly said, "It turns out that the master has come. These maids didn't even inform him. They are so lazy!"
After hearing this, several people looked outside and found that Sheng Hong had arrived at some point and was almost at the door.
After hearing what Fang Mama said, Sheng Hong felt a little unhappy. He had to report here? Even though Minglan and Changdong were adopted, the two families didn't separate!
However, Sheng Hong saw Wang Yue and a strange nanny in the room at a glance, and he immediately smiled.
Wang Yue stood up and bowed to Sheng Hong, and Nanny Kong also stood up.
Sheng Hong carefully looked at Madam Kong, and then he said something else, "Old lady, it's really lively here today."
The old lady saw Sheng Hong's unhappiness, and she smiled and said, "An old lady came to chat with me, an old lady. Why did you come here today?"
Sheng Hong kept smiling and pretended to be helpless, "My eldest wife told me that a maid from the palace came to teach Minglan and Rulan the rules. So I wanted to come and ask if I could bring Molan with me. Molan is well-behaved and sensible, and won't cause any trouble."
Old Madam Sheng knew that Sheng Hong came for this, so she smiled and said, "You should ask me this question. Her surname is Kong. She was the personal maid of the former Queen Jing'an and an old lady in the palace."
When Sheng Hong heard that it was the old lady who was by the side of Queen Jing'an in the palace, although he was a fifth-rank official, he still did not dare to be arrogant. He immediately bowed to Madam Kong and then asked with a smile, "So you are Madam Kong. I wonder if what I asked just now is difficult for you?"
If it was in Sheng Hong's own residence, Madam Kong would not have any objection, but now this is the old lady's private residence, which will be left to Dong Ge in the future. She doesn't want to be formal with the old lady Sheng, but Sheng Hong is somewhat of an outsider.
So, she said very seriously, "It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less person, but there's one thing I want to make clear to Lord Sheng."
Sheng Hong didn't expect that even though he gave enough face, the old lady still put forward conditions, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, he was a smooth talker, his face remained calm, and he said sincerely, "Oh? Madam Kong, please tell me, as long as you are willing to teach my useless daughter, let alone one condition, even ten thousand conditions are acceptable."
Madam Kong nodded, put on a smile and said, "It's not a big deal. Minglan is about to get married. Her husband is now teaching the prince to read, and Minglan will definitely have to deal with the royal family frequently in the future. I was entrusted by your old lady to come here to teach you some royal etiquette.
Therefore, the study progress I arranged must be based on Minglan. Your eldest lady handed your daughter Rulan to me and said that if she affected the course, I could just beat and scold her. Only then did I dare to agree.
And the daughter you specially came here to arrange, I think this Molan is the most favored one in the family, just like your eldest lady dotes on Rulan.
Now, I want you to make a promise. Do you want me to teach you as you did to the eldest lady? "
After all, Sheng Hong was a Jinshi and had been an official for so many years, so he immediately understood what Madam Kong meant. People from the palace could tell from this detail that he was a man who favored his concubine over his wife, which made him unconsciously alert.
He did not doubt the old lady. After all, they were all members of the Sheng family. They would prosper together and suffer together. The old lady was such a smart person that she would not tell this to outsiders.
Since a maid from the palace can tell how a man behaves at home through some details, can other people see it too?
Chapter 196: Chang Feng was caught!
This is the capital, not Yangzhou. Once word gets out that he favors his concubine and kills his wife, he will probably be in trouble in the future.
So Sheng Hong hurriedly said solemnly, "Madam, you are joking. They are all my daughters, so of course I have to treat them equally. You just need to discipline them. If any of them disobey the rules and make you angry, just teach them a lesson. We will definitely thank you, Madam."
This is what Madam Kong wanted to hear from Sheng Hong. She felt relieved and said with a smile, "Then I feel relieved. Lord Sheng didn't blame me, and I was thinking about Lord Sheng.
If word gets out that I'm helping the Sheng family train their children, some other noble ladies will come over. If anything goes wrong, it will be a loss for Master Sheng."
After hearing what Madam Kong said, Sheng Hong became cautious again. If a noble lady from another family really came over and her daughters started quarreling with each other, that would not be something that this family could hide.
So he stood up, bowed deeply to Madam Kong and said, "Sheng, I am grateful for your guidance."
Seeing that she had convinced Sheng Hong, Madam Kong took the initiative to change the subject and began to talk about some interesting things in the palace, deliberately diverting people's attention, which made Sheng Hong very grateful.
Sheng Hong stayed in the room for a while before he said goodbye to Madam Kong and Old Madam Sheng with satisfaction and left.
Wang Yue also stood up and said goodbye immediately. He and Sheng Hong chatted about official affairs, and then walked towards the Sheng family together.
This made Sheng Hong very happy. He felt that although Minglan was separated, Wang Yue still had him as his uncle and future father-in-law in his heart.
Sheng Hong saw at the door that Wang Yue did not go home but walked with him, so he asked curiously, "Yan Hui, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Wang Yue knew that Sheng Hong was very proud, so he smiled and flattered him, "Of course I want to listen to my uncle's teachings, but I have an appointment with Changbai this time. He will soon participate in this imperial examination, so he has some questions that he wants to discuss with me and Zhuang Xuejiu.
However, I think Changbai is just a little too nervous. He will definitely win this time, but he is just a little unsure."
When Sheng Hong heard about this, he said very seriously, "The most important thing in this exam is your mentality. You must talk to Chang Bai about it. I'll leave it to you."
Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle, you are too kind. We are all family, and we should not have different opinions. This is what I should do."
After hearing this, Sheng Hong hesitated for a moment before saying, "What do you think of Chang Feng?"
Wang Yue knew what Sheng Hong meant, so he said helplessly, "Uncle, Changfeng is the opposite of Changbai. Changbai is too unconfident, but Changfeng is a little too confident. I think Changfeng needs you to keep an eye on him personally. Outsiders may be of no use."
Sheng Hong immediately recognized Wang Yue's voice-over, which was that if Chang Feng could not concentrate and review his lessons well this time, it would be difficult for him to pass the exam.
He made up his mind that he would go to Linqi Pavilion later and have a good communication with Chang Feng Molan. He must check their future homework.
So, after Sheng Hong and Wang Yue separated, they hurriedly came to Linqi Pavilion, and suddenly arrived at the door of Sheng Changfeng's small courtyard.
In the past, when Sheng Hong came to Linqi Pavilion during his days off, it was usually around dinner time, and he would leave only after testing Changfeng on his homework the next day. He had never come close to lunch time, which caught Sheng Changfeng's servants off guard.
Just as the servant was about to open his mouth to shout, Sheng Hong glared at him. He felt that something was wrong with his master today, so he knelt on the ground and dared not say anything.
Sheng Hong felt uneasy when he saw this scene. He walked in quickly, wanting to catch Chang Feng off guard.
From a long distance away, Chang Feng's voice was heard saying, "Ke'er, you are really lovely. Where did you learn this way of serving others?"
"Master, I am so annoying. You treat me like a vixen like Mei'er. Ah~! Master, go slower~"
Sheng Hong couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sun was indeed in the sky, so how could he hear such lascivious music?
When he thought of the words "fornication in broad daylight", he couldn't help but get furious. He took two quick steps to the door of the room, kicked it open, and took two quick steps toward the bed. He saw a scene that made his head congested.
He originally thought it was a broad day announcement, but he didn't expect it to be a broad day riot.
The three people on the bed heard the noise and looked towards the door. When they saw Sheng Hong, Ke'er and Mei'er quickly pulled the quilt to cover themselves and couldn't help shaking all over.
Chang Feng's face turned pale. He tried to tidy up his clothes in a panic, but he could only pull up his trousers. He couldn't put his clothes on no matter how hard he tried.
When he saw his father coming over, he immediately knelt on the ground and said with some fear, "Dad!"
Sheng Hong was sobered up by the word "Dad". He thought of what Wang Yue said about the need for him to supervise personally, and became even angrier. Even outsiders knew about Chang Feng's matter?
He walked up quickly and kicked Chang Feng, knocking him to the ground.
Just as he was about to continue kicking, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, "Hong Lang~!"
If it were in the past, when Sheng Hong heard this voice, he would probably have gone limp all of a sudden and probably would not have continued to be angry.
But now, after hearing the voice, he unconsciously glanced at the two maids on the bed. Although he was not sure which maid made the voice, it reminded him of what Chang Feng said, "Where did you learn this foxy trick?!"
Why does this seductive voice sound so familiar?
These two maids were bought properly, how could they have the opportunity to learn those seductive tricks? In the entire Sheng Mansion, it seems that only the mistress of Linqi Pavilion knows how to do that!
Because he had heard it more than once, and these maids might have overheard it at some point!
He glared at Lin Qinshuang fiercely, then kicked Chang Feng again, this time a little crazily, without paying attention to where he kicked.
After several consecutive kicks, one of them was aimed at Sheng Changfeng's head. Changfeng was so scared that he immediately hugged his head and shrank into a ball, not daring to dodge.
Lin Qinshuang froze when she was looked at by Sheng Hong. She didn't know what was wrong, so she reacted a step slowly. By the time she reacted, Chang Feng had already been kicked several times.
She was afraid that something might happen to her son, so she rushed over and hugged Sheng Hong's legs, pleading timidly, "Hong Lang, if you want to hit me, just hit me. It was my fault for not disciplining me. I didn't expect these two vixens to seduce Feng Er."
After hearing this, Sheng Hong thought about how Chang Feng was usually very well-behaved and obedient, and felt that it was not something he could do on his own initiative.
He hesitated for a moment, then stopped and said angrily, "You evil creature! I will settle accounts with you after this imperial examination!"
After he finished speaking, he did not stop, turned around and left the courtyard, and came to the main hall of Linqi Pavilion.
