After the two of them entered the mansion together, their treatment well explained the "world of difference": Old Mrs. Sheng was always smiling that day, but after meeting Sheng Suihe, he was so smiling that he could no longer see his eyes. , I was so happy that I just wanted to come down and hug my grandson and cherish him.
Even Madam Ming, although Sheng Suihe is not her biological grandson, she feels happy from the bottom of her heart when she sees such a majestic junior who has gained the aura of being the top scholar in a new subject. After all, such a talent has come out of her eldest family, and her second and third wives are Fang Shaohuo can also take advantage of it.
However, although Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou also saw their grandson entering the door, they immediately glanced at him with four eyes, but they were so cold and filled with an indescribable chill!
Seeing this, Xu Baomo had just crossed the threshold, and his legs felt weak. He didn't care, he just knelt down to plead guilty or something, so that he could get a lighter punishment later; or Just apply oil on the soles of your feet and run away
At this time, he was extremely envious of Sheng Sleeping He next to him, but he didn't know that Sheng Sleeping He's hands were covered in cold sweat at the moment. He only relied on the calmness he had honed through life and death in the past years to hold on. He said hello calmly and called out. The man finally sat down, silent and solemn, almost upright and solemn!
There was no way, although when he wrote a letter to invite Mrs. Sheng to go north, he had considered the scene when they met. Now he looked at the happy appearance of the so-called grandparents, and the admiration and reverence of the "younger brothers and sisters" on the left and right. Even though Sheng Suihe looked confident in front of Sheng Weiqiao, he was also unspeakably uneasy at the moment: The old couple of the Sheng family liked themselves more and more as their so-called eldest grandson. When they turned around and knew the truth, The more profound the blow!
If Sheng Suihe didn't like Sheng Weiqiao and still thought that Mrs. Sheng would agree to betroth his granddaughter to him, the old man would be angry when he was angry. The worst he could do was to compensate the Sheng family in the future. After all, this matter was originally Sheng Lan's. You can't blame him entirely for quitting... He admits that he has never been a kind person.
But he wanted something, and the key was to understand Sheng Weiqiao. The girl was worthy of being the apple of the Sheng family's eye. She was very devoted to the Sheng family. To be precise, she valued the attitude and opinions of Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Lanci.
If any of these three objects to marrying Sheng Weiqiao to him, the girl will most likely be obedient.
So how could Sheng Suihe dare to offend Mr. Sheng now
"He'er, are you tired today?" Old Mrs. Sheng saw Sheng Suihe's gaffe, and felt a thump in his heart. Although this grandson is not the kind of person who can express witty remarks in all directions, he is definitely She is not a taciturn person, especially since she has not seen her grandson for many days, and she has just passed the exam. No matter how calm and mature a person is in his twenties, he should not show off at this moment, but should at least say a few words to please him. If not
Mrs. Sheng carefully reviewed the grandson's situation, and he and Xu Baomo suddenly thought together: Could it be that this grandson consciously got the top prize and planned to settle matters with the Sheng family about his biological mother
The old man did not support this matter. In the final analysis, the reason why the old man loved Sheng Suihe was mainly because Sheng Lanci had no children; and secondly, it was because of his talent.
Whenever Sheng Lanci has a legitimate son from his original wife, even if his talent is not as good as Sheng Suihe's, Old Master Sheng will definitely favor his legitimate grandson.
After all, Mrs. Feng was Sheng Lanci's original wife. Mr. Sheng was an upright man and valued his status very much. In his mind, the birth of a step-sibling was not as important as the birth of his first wife, let alone a child born from another wife.
Secondly, when Feng married into the Sheng family, she was married into a lowly family. Moreover, after marrying, she did not rely on her parents' family to bully her husband's family. Instead, she was filial to her parents-in-law and took great care of her uncle and sister-in-law.
Mrs. Sheng is not a heartless person and has always been fond of his eldest daughter-in-law. Even though his selfishness as a parent allowed him to accept Sheng Sleeping Crane's entry, and he also spent a lot of thought on his eldest grandson's schoolwork and future, he never had the thought of openly humiliating Mr. Feng... Not to mention, Mr. Feng was now Not to mention that she is finally pregnant again, Hang Hengfang is still 80% sure that she will have a male heir!
If they weren't worried about putting more pressure on the Feng family, Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Ming would have announced the good news that the small family was about to welcome a legitimate son.
"He'er has always been smart and sensible, but I hope he can be more considerate this time and don't mention such things!" Old Mrs. Sheng sighed secretly and said to himself, "If he really brings it up, I can only ask him to give up on it. It's an unrealistic idea... Not to mention that the old man is now pregnant and can't be stimulated, but there is no such thing as pregnancy. The old man didn't care about the gap between the two families when he married, and he worked hard and did not complain when he entered the Sheng family. As a wife of Shengjiazhong, it is impossible for me to do such a shameless thing!"
"It made grandpa laugh." Sheng Suihe became even more nervous when he saw Old Master Sheng asking about him. He laughed dryly and said, "Sun-sin-law... uh, my grandson didn't go to greet the elders with Xu Shixiong today. Elders, please don’t take offense!”
Something went wrong as soon as he opened his mouth. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Everyone thought he had mistakenly said "grandson and Xu Shixiong" as the homophonic "Sun Xu", and they didn't take it to heart. But Sheng Weiqiao knew it very well and couldn't help but give him a vicious look at this moment.
Sheng Suihe pretended not to see it, stood up and saluted.
There was worry in Old Mrs. Sheng's eyes. This grandson has always done things carefully. It was already unusual for him to just greet people with greetings after entering the door but not to accuse him. Now he suddenly added it after asking. Isn't it weird
But he still smiled and said: "You have serious matters, who can blame you?"
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou seized the opportunity to scold Xu Baomo: "Look at you, look at He'er!"
Xu Baomo vomited blood silently and said feebly: "My grandson knows his crime!"
"Look at your boneless appearance, you don't have any of the upright and energetic appearance that you should have at your age!" Mrs. Xiahou sighed, "This look of not sitting up... is just what your parents are used to!"
Before Xu Zijing and his wife could stand up to plead guilty, the old lady took a sip of her tea and said with a very experienced look, "Go back and hit him more, until he gets scared, and the rules will come out!"
Xu Zijing and his wife gritted their teeth and said, "Yes!"
If a group of people from the Sheng family weren't here, they would have taken advantage of him right now!
Xu Baomo burst into tears when he heard this: "My grandparents said that my parents have spoiled my son, and my parents said that my grandparents have spoiled my son... The question is, when has my son been spoiled by these four people?! "
He gets beat up all the time, okay
When I was in the south, I was beaten by Mr. Xu. My direct grandmother, Mrs. Xiahou, not only did not start the fight, but also made all sorts of sarcastic remarks to add insult to injury!
When he came to Chang'an, his parents simply used him as a punching bag! Even the guards and housekeepers in the mansion stabbed him several times when they had nothing to do!
Now that the grandparents and parents are reunited, it seems that they want to make the old Xu family extinct!
Is it thanks to your heart that you can tell that he is favored? !
Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng said: "You are so serious! The children just finished the imperial examination two days ago. They are already very tired from giving banquets today. Tomorrow, they will also be given court clothes, crowns, belts and so on. I will express my gratitude the day after. , the release ceremony the day after tomorrow... a series of things, why are you angry with the child now? Is there anything that cannot be discussed after the release ceremony is completed? "
Because he was worried that Sheng Suihe would ask for his birth mother's status, the old man no longer wanted to show off his eldest grandson. After saying this, he asked about some things about the palace examination and rituals. Seeing that it was almost time, Nan's I asked for permission to have a banquet. After the banquet, Mrs. Sheng ran out of excuses and went to the guest house to rest.
Originally, Sheng Suihe saw this situation and accompanied him there specially.
But after arriving at the guest house, when Sheng Suihe wanted to say something, Old Master Sheng waved his hand to stop him: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the Shi Lai ceremony!"
"...Yes!" Sheng Suihe smiled bitterly in his heart. He actually had no intention of having a complete showdown with the old man right now. After all, just as the old man said, he would have no time to spare for the next three days. For such a big thing, how could he not I have to wait until I am completely free before I have a long talk with the old man... In fact, I am thinking of what Sheng Weiqiao said. If the old man Sheng gets angry because of this and is not done with him, I want to give him some peace of mind.
But since the old man refused, he didn't force it. Anyway, the old man said so, and he must have guessed that what he was about to say was not a good thing. In this way, he was reminded.
With this thought in mind, Sheng Suihe sighed and left the guest house, again rethinking his words in a few days.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but what Sheng Suihe didn't expect was that before he had a chance to show off with Mrs. Sheng, the Gaomi Palace came to visit him first!
It was none other than Wang Gaomi and his wife!
Because the Ningwei Hou Mansion didn't know what was going on, they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy when it came to the joint visit of the Gaomi Prince and his wife, especially the rumored arrival of the Gaomi Princess who had not been out of the Gaomi Prince's Mansion for more than ten years!
Well, at first it was puzzling at best, but because of the reason Sheng Weiqiao used to deal with Xu Caikui before, Nanshi deduced that the Gaomi Palace wanted to tell Sheng Weiqiao to Rong Qingzui, so Nanshi heard that the Gaomi Wang couple were together. When he came to the door, he immediately became nervous: "Our family has never had any friendship with the palace, how come these two people are here?! Especially the princess!"
At this time, she was talking to Mrs. Xiahou and Mrs. Ming. The two old ladies didn't know much about Chang'an, but they also felt that the sudden visit of the noble prince and princess was not a trivial matter. When they noticed what Nan said, His eyes kept wandering around Mrs. Ming, and she suddenly became alert: "What's going on?! Does it have something to do with the Sheng family?"
Nan asked the steward to invite Gaomi Wang and his wife to serve tea in the main hall, and at the same time explained that the master would be leaving late, while he quickly recounted his previous speculation... Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xiahou and Mrs. Ming They were all angry: "How can we, Qiaoer's good child, be betrothed to a useless person with a disfigured face!"
Although Mrs. Ming is not Sheng Weiqiao's biological grandmother, she was really angry when she heard this. Sheng Weiqiao is not her biological granddaughter, but she does have a biological granddaughter!
If the legitimate daughter of Sheng's eldest family member and the biological sister of the new top scholar can only marry someone like Rong Qingzui, what else can Sheng Weirao, Sheng Wewu and others marry? !
However, Mrs. Ming was born in a small family. Xu Baomo, a family friend, went to live in the Sheng Mansion for a while. Just because she was the heir, she was scared to death. Now that they were the prince and the princess, she was even more scared. .
So after getting angry, he panicked: "But with such a powerful position, what should I do if I have to marry Qiaoer?"
Although it is upsetting to see my granddaughter marry miserably, it seems that the former is not unacceptable compared to the tragedy of the whole family...
Mrs. Xiahou, who had a fierce nature, couldn't stand her cowardly look. She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak. Fortunately, Nan made things right in time: "We discussed this matter when we first found out about it. There is no solution. Method: Tell the outside world that Bao Mo and Qiao Er are engaged. When Qiao Er looks for a good family later, he will use Bao Mo as a bastard to break off the engagement. Anyway, that little bastard Bao Mo is not a good person, so to speak. He is not wronged at all!"
