Chapter 428: Brother and Sister
In fact, not only the Luo family wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, but the Feng family was also keeping an eye on it.
When Gongzi Luo and Mrs. Zheng were still in the yamen and did not leave, the Feng family had already returned to the Sheng Mansion alone, but they didn't go to the Forbidden Snow Hall to ask for peace at all, and went directly to the Chengchun Terrace where their husband and wife lived, found her husband Sheng Lanci, and talked straight to the point about regretting the marriage: "What the Luo family means is that they will definitely not marry the Sheng family again at this time, let alone give the girl to Weide, but they are women, they have just said such categorical words before, and now they have to regret it before they turn around, and they can't pull this face!"
"That's why I agreed to come forward by the Sheng family and refused this family business. β
She was afraid that Sheng Lan would be soft-hearted and refused, so she said, "What the Luo family euphemistically revealed means is that if the Sheng family doesn't do this, they will announce that the head of the family or the daughter of the red face will die on the eve of leaving the cabinet, and then choose a girl from the side branch to marry Zhiyi and continue the marriage." β
"Although they don't really call the head of the family to die, they must at least change their identities, hide their names, and even celebrate the New Year in the future, which is not a good thing for the flesh and blood to reunite...... After all, who wants to have a good daughter-in-law, live a sneaky life, and not even shout openly and feel distressed in front of them?"
"The financial resources of this family are not very rare to us, but they are based in the south of the Yangtze River and started early, so they naturally have connections all over the government and the opposition. β
After all, there are outstanding people in Jiangnan, and there have been endless scholars since ancient times, and it is impossible for the Luo family, as a big family in Jiangnan, not to have an intersection with these people. And they can continue to be rich and noble for such a generation, of course, they are not stupid enough not to know to take advantage of this geographical advantage.
"Now for such a famous thing, let them save regrets, who knows in the future, will they be obedient to us at a critical moment?"
Since Xuan Yu Feng involved Old Lady Sheng's practice of cheating his own people on Sheng Weiqiao's future, Sheng Lanci was most worried about her daughter's future at this time.
Hearing this, he was suddenly awe-struck, and said: "Don't you worry! Aren't you just looking for an excuse to refuse the marriage! I'll go and tell the second brother! Although the Ming family has been tossing a lot these days, the second brother is very sensible this time, and he will agree to it soon!"
As for the reputation of the Sheng family after repenting of the marriage, not to mention that the second room where Sheng Lansi is located has been divided, even if it has not been divided, Sheng Lanci doesn't matter.
First, he is not a person who will be bound by reputation at all, and secondly, as Luo Junshou and others said in private, the Sheng family is said to be a powerful family at this time, but in fact, it is a nouveau riche...... The family is uneven, and there are enough embarrassing things for Sheng Lansi to make a mess alone in the early years.
There is also Sheng Lanling's elopement, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei's shocking behavior on Mrs. Sheng's birthday...... As a family member, Sheng Lanci has long had no hope for his own style.
At this time, he had the intention of eradicating the disaster for his daughter in the future, and his action was very strong, so he sent someone to call Sheng Lansi to him and explain the requirements.
And Sheng Lansi was afraid of losing his brother's approval, and wished he could have a chance to perform, so he nodded without thinking about it, and said earnestly: "Originally, this family business is not the right one, and my father and mother are also old and confused before they have to rush to get married! I said that how can a wooden mind like De'er be worthy of the daughter of a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River? Besides, that kind of girl must be arrogant, and after entering the door, she may be picky about my father-in-law! In contrast, I would rather De'er marry a small jasper, knowing that filial piety to the elders is the right reason!"
As for why Sheng Lanci and his wife's attitude suddenly changed so much, he didn't ask from beginning to end.
After leaving, Feng's face was a little complicated and said: "I always thought that Sanfang was carefree and sensible, but looking at it now, these second brothers are not all fools." β
Sheng Lanci said with a flat expression: "Of course they are not stupid, they are really the kind of people who don't have a brain at all and will only cause trouble, and I won't be cheap and keep raising them." β
ββ¦β¦ In fact, Weide is really honest and kind. Feng Shi sighed and said, "It's a pity that I was born in the second room." β
It's no wonder that she was in a tangled mood, when Sheng Weide was still in infancy, his biological mother Ao was killed by Sheng Lansi's favorite concubine and left, and then Bai entered the door with a big belly, and regarded him as a thorn in the flesh.
Later, when the Bai family gave birth to Sheng Weixing, this sister-in-law, felt more and more that the eldest son of the Yuan family was not an eyesore, and it was the only obstacle to his son's inheritance of the second house!
On the one hand, Feng Shi has a sense of responsibility as Sheng's daughter-in-law and Sheng Weide's aunt, and on the other hand, he is also angry at Bai's delusional thinking, trying to snatch his daughter's things by passing Sheng Weixing to himself, and he really cares about Sheng Weide.
Even if you spend a lot of effort on this nephew, you will naturally not be less emotional.
When she didn't know that Gonggong was pit on her daughter and sister, she also sincerely hoped that Sheng Weide could have a good family and a good future.
Now this revenge is of course aimed at Old Lady Sheng, but it first hurt this innocent junior, and Feng Shi felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, no matter how uncomfortable it was, thinking of her own flesh and blood Sheng Weiqiao, her heart that had just softened suddenly hardened again.
And Sheng Lanci simply didn't even have this little wave, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to thinking about his daughter, not to mention his nephew, he didn't even care about his father now, and only said lightly when he heard the words: "Growing up in brocade clothes and jade food, depending on his marriage in the future, it will be the day of calling slaves and maids...... We don't have anything to be sorry for him. β
He also reminded the Feng family, "Have you been going to see the county lord Jingshu twice in three days recently? Tell the people who follow her to be vigilant, don't let the Ming family take any loopholes! She has been trying her best to make trouble in the Forbidden Snow Hall during this time, and she has been doing her best several times since she died. She used to take advantage of Qiao'er's soft-heartedness to coax, don't ask her to repeat her old tricks now!"
"She's dreaming!" Feng sneered and said, "Daddy has already thought about this! If she dares to fight the idea of being a good girl, the Feng family will make her regret it for the rest of her life!"
"That's good. Sheng Lanci nodded, and didn't ask the Feng family why Mrs. Ming regretted the lifelong law, muttered slightly, and said, "The next thing is to wait for the second brother to act, finish the family affair of retiring Weide, and then round the scene into Feng Luo's marriage." β
Feng Shi said "um" and said, "But...... She doesn't know anything until now, and she doesn't know what she will say.
Sheng Lan resigned: "This kid is just soft-hearted, and he's not really ignorant. She is not the only one who has been wronged this time, even if she forgives her on behalf of Mizhen, she is not qualified to represent the eldest sister, right?
said so, in the end, it was the twenty-four filial father, he thought for a while, or said, "In two days, invite a few troupes, as well as juggling and the like, to relieve the boredom of the obedient girl, so as not to make her unhappy, and considerate of us to be embarrassed to say it, holding back her depression." β
They still have the heart to discuss how to make their daughter happy, the second and third rooms of the Sheng family, but at this time, they are already a gloomy fog.
Because the third room was not directly affected, he was only guessing in horror what had happened, causing the big room to suddenly turn around.
The second room is as if the atmosphere inside and outside is keeping up with the tight strings, and the tense one is called a tight!
The two aunts Ruoliu Fuyan were so anxious that they almost wanted to go, Sheng Weirao, who had the seal of the county lord of Fuchang, was also upset at this time, and specially asked Sheng Weide, had you done anything that would anger the big house?
"Big brother, you definitely wouldn't have such a mind yourself, could it be that the people around you did it without you, or did you inadvertently say something that shouldn't be said?" she tried hard to remind Sheng Weide, but although Sheng Weide thought about it carefully, he finally shook his head helplessly: "I really can't think of anything to offend Uncle and them...... Even if there are no people around you?"
Sheng Weirao didn't give up, and said: "Big brother, you have been generous, maybe there are those unfamiliar Diao slaves who are used to it, and they will block you behind your back? In my opinion, it is better to try the first trial!"
She insisted on doing this, Sheng Weide's temper was not unruly or paranoid, because of the events of the past years, she has always felt that she owes this half-sister, and of course she will rely on her at this time, and send everyone around her to interrogate her personally.
But Sheng Weirao tried every possible way, Enwei and gave it for a long time, and even offered a high reward to encourage them to expose each other, but they never found any clues.
At this time, Sheng Weixing quietly guessed: "Could it be that the uncle and aunt dislike us and will only take advantage of them, so ......?"
"Although it is true that our room has been taking advantage of the big house, but it has been so many years, and the uncle and aunt are not that stingy. Sheng Weirao shook her head and said, "My mother offended my aunt so much, do you see that after my mother passed away, did my aunt ever make it difficult for us......? I think there must be a reason. β
Sheng Weixing pursed his lips and said after a while: "I think my grandfather must know the reason." β
After saying this, their sister and brother were silent for a while, and then looked at Sheng Weide together.
Sheng Weide was stunned, and he would come to his senses, so he asked him to ask Mrs. Sheng.
Because Mrs. Sheng's favorite grandson is him.
"Two days ago, my grandfather called me to persuade my grandmother, and I knocked on the side in private, but my grandfather didn't say anything, only advised me that there was no grass at the end of the world. Sheng Weide spread his hands helplessly, "Then my grandmother made a fuss in the inner room, and I could only go in and follow my grandfather's instructions, but my grandmother couldn't listen to it at all." β
"Don't knock on the side!" Sheng Weirao said hurriedly, "You just get straight to the point and ask, what's going on?! This is your marriage, if you have to find out, how can your grandfather not be able to give you a tone at all?!"
Sheng Weide hesitated a little and said, "But what grandfather means is to let me stop thinking about it...... I thought, although I don't know what's here, I haven't seen Miss Luo Jia anyway. This marriage event was originally decided by the parents, and my grandfather decided to forget it, if I insisted, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be an old man and an uncle?"
"Grandfather and uncle are not bad to us...... For the sake of a so-called fiancΓ©e who has never met before, why bother to make your own family unhappy?"
"But isn't grandmother resolutely against it?" Sheng Weirao said, "Grandmother has been making trouble about this until now, and it is said that she has even tried to kill herself! Grandmother is like this for you, and you don't even ask for a reason...... Can you bear it?"
When she said the last sentence, there was a little cry in her voice.
It's no wonder that Sheng Weirao repeatedly disobeyed Mrs. Ming in public in public for the sake of her biological mother Bai's early years.
I thought that I would offend this grandmother for the rest of my life, but who knew that only three or two years had passed, and the old lady suddenly forgot that her granddaughter was not good back then, and turned to feel sorry for her.
When I went to Chang'an before, I not only insisted on taking her with me, but also worked hard for her marriage...... Although Sheng Weirao is not very optimistic about her marriage, she is also very grateful to her grandmother for repaying her grievances with virtue, and she sincerely respects Mrs. Ming.
Now the reason why I am so concerned about Sheng Weide's marriage and care about the eldest brother is secondary, but I heard about Mrs. Ming's attitude, so I naturally want to support it!
She has always been more articulate than Sheng Weide, and Sheng Weide felt that she owed her, and she was repeatedly entangled at this time, but she couldn't help it, so she nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I'll go see my grandfather later...... It's just that my grandfather didn't tell me, so I didn't know. β
