Chapter 020 Lifting a Rock to Shoot Yourself in the Foot
Shou'an Hall, in the courtyard.
Minglan was dressed tightly, wrapped in a snow-white mink vest, and wrapped around her neck with a scarf made of red fox skin.
On Minglan side, Wang Chong was dressed in a dark robe, with a jade crown and his hair tied up, and in his left hand he held a long sword with black linen wrapped around the hilt.
Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Minglan and said softly, "Sixth sister Lao Lao will help me get the scabbard first!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong drew his sword out of the sheath, the sword body was three feet and two inches long, only two fingers wide, the double blades did not open the edge, even the tip of the sword was blunt, but the sword body was a piece of silver white, and there were faint lines on it.
Wang Zhong put the scabbard on Minglan palm, walked to the courtyard in a few steps, turned his head and smiled at Minglan slightly, and said loudly, "Sixth sister, let's see!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Chong moved, there was nothing strange at first, but as the sword unfolded, Xiao Minglan who was holding the scabbard was stunned in an instant, and he was reluctant to blink his eyes.
Minglan beside Minglan was already about as tall as Minglan Xiaoxiao's little peach also opened his mouth wide, and looked at the courtyard in shock, flexible like an ape, the long sword like a swimming dragon, Wang Zhong, with the transformation of his body, he moved and jumped, and the long sword that walked with him swayed a sword light like splashing ink······
After half a cup of tea, Wang retracted his sword and stood, holding the long sword upside down in his right hand, and walked in front of Minglan .
He asked, "What do you think of the sixth sister?"
"It's so pretty! What a great swordsmanship!" Minglan said in shock.
"In the poem, Du Gongbu praised the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie: Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, and he is like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. I didn't expect that there really was such a delicate swordsmanship as Gongsun Sword Dance!"
Although Minglan is only more than nine years old, she has been studying with Zhuang Xuexue for more than half a year, like the poet fairy Li Taibai, the poem of the poetry saint Du Gongbu, I have already read a lot, this poem "Guangongsun Auntie's Disciple Dancing Sword Weapon Xing", I have read it several times.
Wang Chong said, "Sixth sister, would you like to learn this swordsmanship with me?"
"Yes!" Minglan immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "Please Brother Zihou teach me!"
"All kinds of weapons, although they have the same end, but there are also differences, and the emphasis is also different, let's just say that the way of swordsmanship, is to fly lightly and agilely, although all the swordsmanship I have learned, although they have their own merits, but they are all based on "hitting, stabbing, gridding, washing" as the four mother swords, and then evolved the thirteen potentials of swordsmanship."
"In the past, when I was learning swords with my teacher, my teacher once said: "Sword Spectrum" has clouds, those who want to learn swords, first practice internal bravery, then practice external skills, and finally teach techniques and footwork, three years later, chase on the cliff, can stab the ape with bamboo branches and soft in the middle, only to teach the true meaning of archery."
"Huh?" Minglan was a little overwhelmed when she heard this, and she still had to chase after the cliff and stab the ape with bamboo branches?
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "The sixth sister learns the sword only for the purpose of strengthening the body, naturally there is no need to read the book, the sixth sister is still young, and the external skills are temporarily counted, but it is best to practice the inner bravery, and after I have the foundation, I will teach the sixth sister techniques and footwork, and after the sixth sister is proficient, I will teach the basic sword technique, and then advance to this set of sword dances, how about it?"
"Listen to Brother Zihou's arrangement!" Minglan Road.
"In that case, let's get started!"
Those kung fu Minglan who stretches muscles and bones naturally can't be practiced, but the fist and foot routines that strengthen the body and activate the meridians can still be practiced.
"Brother Zihou, can Xiao Tao also learn along?" Minglan looked at Wang Zhong and asked playfully.
Wang rubbed Minglan heavily and said, "Naturally!"
Minglan hurriedly gave Xiao Tao a look, pulled the hem of Xiao Tao's clothes, and the stupid Xiao Tao reacted, saluted, and thanked the king heavily.
Although Xiao Tao looks stupid, she may not be an introverted person like Guo Jing.
Anyway, one sheep is driving, two sheep are also driving, and it's nothing to bring a small peach.
Wang Zhong immediately began to teach the master and servant the basic fists and feet.
Under the corridor of the main room, the shock in the eyes of Mrs. Sheng holding the stove will dissipate, and the eyes of Mama Fang next to her are also full of surprise
Following Mrs. Sheng's side, when Mrs. Sheng was young, the old marquis was still in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Mama Fang used to follow Mrs. Sheng to watch the old marquis practice martial arts.
Although the two of them don't know martial arts, they still have some eyesight, but Wang Chong's set of sword dances really shocked both of them.
Mrs. Sheng looked at Wang Chong, who was patiently teaching Minglan and Xiaotao the basic skills in the courtyard, and couldn't help but bow slightly, but then she didn't know what she remembered, her brows were slightly locked, and she looked at Wang Chong's gaze with a little worry.
In the Linqi Pavilion.
Only a little powder, not a pearl of the green Lin Yushuang, only a wisp of the forehead drooped, although it is a woman who has given birth to two children, but Lin Yushuang is very well maintained, whether it is the body or the skin, are very outstanding, and the charm of the body is more attractive than those untrained girls.
Lin Yushuang had already ordered Xia Xueniang beside her to go to the second gate to wait for Sheng Hong, in the small kitchen, the food that should be prepared was heated in the steamer, and the wine was still warm in the small stove.
"Auntie! Why hasn't my father come yet?" Lin Yushuang was not in a hurry, but the young Mo Lan did not have the same concentration as her.
"Don't worry! Isn't the Snow Lady already going to meet your father!" Lin Yushuang pulled her daughter and comforted softly.
"Xue Niang has been gone for so long!" Mo Lan muttered in his mouth.
Lin Yushuang said, "Maybe there is something in the yamen that has been delayed."
Mo Lan was obviously a little impatient to wait, and Lin Yushuang could only patiently persuade her.
After a while, the voices of the female envoys suddenly greeted outside.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
Lin Yushuang hurriedly instructed the female envoy who was waiting next to her to let the small kitchen bring all the food, prepare the wine utensils herself, and arrange her clothes slightly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Sheng Hong lifted the curtain, straightened her back again, and walked in front of the mother and daughter.
"Hiroshi is here!"
"A daughter visits her father!" Lin Yushuang hurriedly led her daughter Mo Lan to give Sheng Hongfu a gift.
Sheng Hongshi Ran walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, sit down!"
Lin Yushuang carried the wine jug, walked to Sheng Hong's side, and said softly: "It's freezing outside, Honglang has worked hard, eat a glass of wine to warm up your body first!"
What Sheng Hong likes is that the Lin family is thoughtful, meticulous, not like Wang Ruofu, it's okay if he doesn't open his mouth, he can choke people to death with a gun and a stick as soon as he opens his mouth.
With a glass of wine in his stomach, Sheng Hong's face smiled even more, grabbed Lin's hand and said, "Shuang'er sit down and eat together!"
Lin Yushuang immediately sat next to Sheng Hong, and helped Sheng Hong fill up the empty ones, if it weren't for Mo Lan beside him, I was afraid that Lin Yushuang would not be sitting on a stool, but Sheng Hong's thighs, and threw herself into Sheng Hong's arms.
Sheng Hong's mood is already good, Lin Yushuang is used to observing words and feelings, and she laughed heartily at Sheng Hong in a few words, and Mo Lan also did the same, showing great hospitality in front of Sheng Hong, and showing great kindness and filial piety, which made Sheng Hong extremely pitiful.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Yushuang suddenly changed her voice and talked about Hua Lan's family affairs: "Seeing that the big girl's good things are approaching, Honglang is busy again!"
Although there was a smile on her delicate and pretty face, there was a bit of loss in her eyes.
Sheng Hong didn't notice it at all, and went straight to Lin Yushuang's words, and said with some emotion: "Yes, in a blink of an eye, Hua'er is about to get married!"
Hua Lan's family affair is set on the eighth day of March this year, which is a good day carefully selected by the Yuan family, Hua Lan is also sixteen years old, if she gets married at this time, it will naturally be early in the real world, but in today's world, it is not too early or too late, just right.
Lin Yushuang carried the wine jug and filled the empty cup for Sheng Hong, who had just finished drinking the wine in the cup: "The eldest girl is the eldest daughter of Honglang, and she is also married to the son-in-law of Zhongqin Bofu, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!"
Sheng Hong said: "Although the Yuan family is an uncle's house, it has only been twenty or thirty years since its recovery, and the family background may not be as solid as ours, that is, there is an earl's title to protect it."
If it was before, Sheng Hong naturally didn't dare to say this, but Sheng Wei would buy it in the next few years
The sale is prosperous, and every year it sends gold and silver treasures, pearls and jade, silk and satin cloth, which has increased several times compared with previous years, and the filial piety to Mrs. Sheng is also much more than before.
Money is a man's guts, and when he has money in his pocket, Sheng Hong will naturally be tough when he speaks.
"After all, the Yuan family is an uncle, that is, in the future, the descendants will not have talent in reading, and they will not be able to take the road of the imperial examination, and they will be able to enter the government through Enyin!"
Lin Yushuang's heart is bright, in the original plot, why does she look down on Wen Yanjing, who has been seen by Sheng Hong and thinks that he is a young and handsome man, is nothing more than looking at Wen Yanjing's humble background, there are only some thin fields in the family, there is no other industry, the family background is thin, and if she wants to win wealth and wealth, there is no other way out except for studying for the imperial examination.
But as he spoke, Lin Yushuang's eyebrows frowned tightly, glanced at Mo Lan next to him, his eyes were sour, and he raised his hand to hold the handkerchief and wiped his tears: "Now even the six girls have been entrusted, but our Mo Er ······."
"Shuang'er, don't worry, Mo'er is the daughter of my Sheng family, although the eldest lady is not on good terms with you, but Mo'er's lifelong events, she won't care!"
Lin Yushuang sobbed and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest lady will complain about me in her heart, and she won't pay attention to it, so she will be perfunctory!"
That pitiful appearance, Sheng Hong felt distressed when he saw it.
"Frost don't cry, isn't there still me! I am Mo'er's father, Mo'er's lifelong event, I will take it to heart, besides, now Mo'er is still young, in a few years, Mo'er is older, I will personally find a wishful husband for her, okay?"
"Is what Hongrou said true?" Lin Yushuang's crying gradually stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at Sheng Hong and asked.
"It's true, of course!" Sheng Hong assured.
Lin Yushuang hurriedly glanced at Mo Lan, and Mo Lan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Daddy!"
It was night, Sheng Hong naturally stayed in Lin Qi Pavilion, after all, Lin Yushuang was his love, after a cloud and rain, the two curled up in the quilt, lying neck crossed, resisting the cold of winter.
Sheng Hong's eyes were closed, enjoying the warmth of the quilt, his face was full of comfort, Lin Yushuang whispered in Sheng Hong's ear: "But what happy event happened? Honglang is in such a happy mood today?"
Sheng Hongren closed his eyes and said, "Today, the official family summoned Zihou, asked the right question, was very satisfied, praised Zihou a few words, and said that Zihou was a young man, acted steadily, and had a very good statute, which is enough to have a bit of Fan Wenzhenggong's youthful demeanor."
"The official's evaluation of Wang Zihou is so high?" Although Lin Yushuang is a woman in the house, she is also from a family and has read poetry and books, so she naturally knows what Fan Wenzhenggong is.
Although he was degraded, he was able to be called Wenzheng after his death, which shows his influence, his status in the hearts of officials, his civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, and his weight in the eyes of scholars all over the world.
Sheng Hong said: "It is gold that will shine sooner or later, although Zihou is young, he is talented, cautious, steady and old-fashioned, without the spirit of a young man, and is born to be a good material for a mixed career."
Hearing Sheng Hong say this, Lin Yushuang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is this prince really so powerful?"
Sheng Hong said: "I have seen a lot of talents over the years, and it is not that the young man is famous, but there is no one who may be compared with Zihou, the only thing that is worse is the family background, but now Zihou and our Sheng family are married, and they will be the son-in-law of the Sheng family in the future, and those in-laws of the Sheng family are old, and naturally they are also his in-laws."
Lin Yushuang suddenly said, "Honglang is so eccentric!"
Sheng Hong was confused by Lin Yushuang's sudden surprise: "How can I be eccentric?"
"If you talk about the eldest and youngest, the eldest girl has already decided to marry, it is better to get married, among the remaining three girls in the family, Mo'er is the biggest, followed by Rulan, and finally Minglan is Minglan, and the fifth girl is just that, that is the daughter of Honglang, and she still relies on the Wang family behind her, so there will naturally be no shortage of good marriages in the future, but Honglang didn't think about Mo'er's relatives first, but he gave the youngest Minglan in the family to Wang Zihou, isn't this partial?"
"This ·······" Sheng Hong sighed helplessly: "Hey!"
"It's Zihou who named himself and said that he would marry Minglan in the future, how did it become my partiality again!" Sheng Hong is really speechless.
"Honglang Mo didn't deceive me in this back house all day long
Don't you know the world? When the prince Hou came to the door to ask, it was clearly to repay the kindness of Honglang, so he asked to marry the girl of our Sheng family, but how old is Minglan's girl, an eight- or white-year-old little doll, although Wang Zihou was not crowned at that time, but he was also a nineteen-year-old Langjun, how could he look at Minglan's little doll at a glance."
Speaking of this, Sheng Hong's face immediately changed, and he suddenly felt that the beauty in his arms was not so fragrant: "You are still embarrassed to say, if you hadn't deliberately sent someone to delay time that day, making Wei's difficult, Minglan is such a small girl, can she run out of the house with all her strength and go to Lang Zhong by herself?"
"Good manner, what is Honglang doing with these old things again?" Lin Yushuang didn't expect that she would lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot today, although Sheng Hong has slowly recovered her favor these days, but there are some things that she doesn't think about on weekdays, and once she pulls it out, it is a thorn in her heart.
Sheng Hong said angrily, "Didn't you mention it first! Do you know why Zihou looked at Minglan alone?"
Lin Yushuang regretted it in her heart, but it had come to this point, and it was useless to regret it, so she could only shake her head and show that she didn't know why.
Sheng Hong explained: "It was precisely because I saw Minglan that girl who ran to the street alone to save her biological mother who had a difficult birth that day, which left a deep impression on Zihou, and made Zihou feel that Minglan had such courage and determination at a young age, and now she was taken by her mother to raise her personally, so she specially came to ask for marriage."
"I have to blame you for this, if you hadn't made a mistake, hated your mother, and were raised by your mother by her side, maybe it would be our Mo'er, and the prince who came to the door to ask for a marriage might also be our Mo'er."
Sheng Hong's words directly stunned Lin Yushuang, and when it came to it, it was all her fault, but she was caught by the old lady in this matter, the evidence was conclusive, and Sheng Hong was angered, and she was grounded for half a year.
Sure enough, while speaking, Sheng Hong had already let go of the hand holding Lin Yushuang, lifted the quilt and turned over and got off the bed, called the female envoy, and waited for him to dress.
"What is this doing, Hiroshi?" Lin Yushuang hurriedly straightened her attitude, bit her lip, and said pitifully, "Shuang'er has already made a mistake!"
In fact, after so long since this happened, Sheng Hong has long been not angry, on the contrary, he has snubbed Lin Yushuang for half a year, Sheng Hong also misses Lin Yushuang in his heart, after all, Lin Yushuang is Sheng Hong's love.
It's just that Wei Shuyi almost died of dystocia, Xiao Changdong was almost stillborn, if it was just Wei Shuyi, it would be fine, a beautiful little lady, Sheng Hong is not lacking, but Changdong is a son, this is completely different.
And one by one, they all reminded Sheng Hong, telling him that he used to love Lin Yushuang too much, so she was used to lawlessness, and even dared to kill the Sheng family's heirs.
Sheng Hong looked at the snow-white fragrant shoulders that were only wearing a belly pocket, and suddenly felt distressed, and was about to say something, when suddenly a stirring spirit in his heart, remembering all kinds of past, hurriedly looked away, and forcibly let himself have a cold face and said: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some official duties that have not been handled, and I want to go to the study, I don't know when I will be busy, and I won't come back tonight, you can rest early, you don't have to wait for me!"
It can be seen that Lin's quilt is not covered, with a red shoulder and a crest, it is so cold outside, and he can't help but feel distressed, and immediately reminded: "The weather is so cold, you hurry back and fall asleep!"
Lin Yushuang had already felt Sheng Hong's temperament clearly, just looking at Sheng Hong's expression, he knew that now was not a good time to grind and soak, and said with concern: "And today is freezing, the study is so cold, Honglang remember to let his subordinates burn more charcoal, if there are too many official duties, and do some first, the rest will not be too late to be done from tomorrow!"
"I know in my heart, you should rest sooner!" Sheng Hong was afraid that he would be shaken if he stayed any longer, so he put on his clothes and explained, even if he turned around and walked quickly.
Lin Yushuang, who was alone on the incense couch, shivered coldly, and hurriedly got back into the quilt.
Sheng Hong deliberately distanced himself from his actions, Lin Yushuang, a person who had shared the bed with him for more than ten or twenty years
How can you not see it, and it is precisely because of this that for more than half a year, Lin Yushuang has been cautious in front of Sheng Hong, and she has kept to herself on weekdays, and she dare not be like before, grandly pulling a group of children in the family to make her mother-in-law, and singing against Wang Ruofu.
Only An Ansheng's cat is in the forest pavilion, living her little life.
Of course, the reason why Lin Yushuang lived so peacefully was also related to the fact that Lin Yushuang's henchmen were all sent away by Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu one by one after the Sheng family left Yangzhou, except for a personal Xia Xueniang, Lin Qige's manpower was changed all over again, and even a few Lin clansmen who came to join Lin Yushuang were also sent away by Sheng Hong.
Now the Sheng family's housekeeper is Wang Ruofu, and the industries under Lin Yushuang have also been taken away by Sheng Hong, and Lin Yushuang has some silver money and jewelry and fabrics saved over the years.
Without an industry, it is equivalent to having no hens that lay eggs, and the silver in her hand will eventually run out one day, so Lin Yushuang naturally doesn't dare to jump out too much.
Seeing Sheng Hong leave, Lin Yushuang regretted it in her heart, she was so dignified, what did she do with those past events, she told Sheng Hong to alienate herself, and Sheng Hong didn't know how long it would take to come back.
"Hey!"
At this point, Lin Yushuang could only sigh helplessly, although she gritted her teeth and regretted it, she could only summarize it seriously, and strive not to make such a low-level mistake next time.
Wang Chong naturally didn't know that because of his own interference, Sheng Hong finally realized that he was wrong, and his attitude towards Lin Yushuang had changed.
But even if Wang Zhong knew, it was estimated that he would just laugh it off.
Lin Yushuang's rank in the house fight is indeed not low, but Wang Chong has no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the Sheng family's house, even if he does, at most, in the future, he will help Minglan 's mother Wei come up with ideas and give more money to buy people's hearts.
However, after the last difficult incident of the Wei family, in the struggle of the Sheng family's inner house, I am afraid that it will be difficult to kill people, after all, a family like the Sheng family with thin people, like the Wei family and Lin Yushuang, the noble concubines who gave birth to sons for the family and spent scattered leaves, are equivalent to making great contributions to the family, and they can also be on the family tree.
In the future, if Changfeng and Changdong compete, although they can't earn their lives for their two biological mothers, they can also make a few more notes on the Sheng family's genealogy.
Minglan this girl, the talent of practicing calligraphy and painting is average, especially writing, she has studied with Zhuang Xuexue for more than a year, and she is still scratched by a chicken's paws, and her talent in martial arts is also average.
And this girl is a lazy character, the first two months are fine, and she can still persevere, but after a long time, if Wang Chong does not come, she will dry her nets every day, make a show, and rarely go to sea to fish.
The road of martial arts, difficult and long, endless, like Minglan 's lazy attitude, naturally can't learn anything, it's a pity that her extraordinary talent, a set of sword dance, less than ten days of kung fu, learned seven, seven, eight, eight, two months, has made it look like it.
On the contrary, Xiao Tao, a stupid-looking girl, is a character like Guo Jing, Wang Zhong asked her to do boxing three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and the standing pile gradually changed from a stick of incense to half an hour and an hour, and this girl did the same.
Originally, Minglan was the protagonist, and Xiao Tao was just piggybacking, but in fact, it was completely reversed.
