Chapter 36 Minglan Is Taught by Old Lady Sheng

Wei Shuyi has decided to fight.

The children of the Wei family are no worse than others.

But she still wants Minglan to hide her shortcomings and not stand out, because the more she stands out, the easier it is for others to calculate.

Admittedly, at the moment when she decided to fight, Minglan, as her daughter, could not stay out of it completely.

But when she doesn't fight, can she be alone?

In addition to that reason, she didn't let Minglan participate in these things because she didn't want Minglan to become like Lin Xiaoniang's daughter Sheng Molan one day.

The descendants of their children of the Wei family, even if they are not surnamed Wei, cannot have such people.

The next day.

Lin Zhaoyuan came to say goodbye, saying that she had successfully given birth to a child, and her own mission was completed.

Wei Shuyi was not feeling well, so he asked Xiaodie to give him fifty taels of silver and told her:

"Brother Lin, my wife said that you must accept this silver."

"Although you are General Wei's personal guard, you are a frontier soldier after all. It is unfair for you to stay in Yangzhou for such a long time."

"If you don't accept it, my wife will be unable to sleep or eat."

It is true that Lin Zhaoyuan is loyal to Wei Yuan, but after all, he is still a layman. How can he not be greedy for money?

But he cannot take these fifty taels.

"General Wei gave me ten gold coins before he left. I absolutely cannot take these silver coins."

"Goodbye."

After that, Lin Zhaoyuan left.

Xiaodie hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, wait a minute. This letter is written by my wife to Mr. Wei San. Please pass it on in person."

Lin Zhaoyuan took the letter and left the Sheng family.

Afterwards, Xiaodie told Wei Shuyi that he had not accepted the money.

The latter nodded and said, "The people around me are all talented people. Since they don't accept the money, I guess it won't work if I force them."

Xiaodie said, "I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet Brother Lin in the future."

Wei Shuyi smiled and glanced at her, thinking for a moment.

Lin Zhaoyuan is a good man. If Xiaodie likes him, they can form a good relationship.

In the evening.

Sheng Hong came.

After eating, he didn't leave, but stayed in Wei Shuyi's room.

"You haven't recovered yet, so let the servants do the work of undressing your husband."

Sheng Hong saw that Wei Shuyi insisted on taking off his clothes, so he spoke.

Wei Shuyi shook her head and said:

"It's not that I can't move. I am the master's woman. These things should be done by me personally."

Sheng Hong held her delicate hand and smiled: "You are a little different from before."

Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "I have been in the Sheng family for so many years, and I have always lived a dull life. Since giving birth to Changlin, I have been grateful for the master's blessing. I am afraid that I have not treated the master well enough."

Sheng Hong smiled and said: "Your yard is really small. When our family goes to the capital, your husband will personally choose a big yard for you."

Wei Shuyi shook her head and said: "I don't care about these external things. I just think that I can live closer to the master and see the master often, and I will be satisfied."

The two chatted a lot.

Wei Shuyi felt that she had coaxed Sheng Hong enough, so she slowly said:

"My Lord, I heard that you intend to choose one of the daughters of our Sheng family to serve the mother-in-law?"

Sheng Hong nodded and said, "I do have this idea."

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "Minglan has always liked to listen to her grandmother's teachings. Today, Minglan told me about this."

"She said that if she could stay with the old lady, she would be very happy."

"I gave her a lesson. Minglan was so meek that she was scolded and couldn't say a word for a long time. She was wronged in her dull heart, but she didn't cry or make a fuss."

"The old lady likes quietness. If she stays with the old lady, I'm afraid she will be too quiet."

She hopes that Minglan can learn from the old lady.

What kind of person is the old lady?

She is the only daughter of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. She has been to the palace and seen the world.

The girls she brought up were all the best, better than staying with her.

Sheng Hong's eyes lit up when he heard what she said.

Yes, Minglan was always very docile. Even if she upset the old lady and was scolded by her, she would probably listen obediently.

Unlike Rulan, who was spoiled since childhood, and Molan, who cried at every turn, what would she do if she was scolded by the old lady?

Hualan is about to get married

After thinking about it, it seems that only Minglan's temperament is most suitable to stay with the old lady!

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong gradually had an idea in his mind.

——

The second year of Jiayou, at the end of April.

Minglan went to Sheng's Shou'an Hall.

In "Do You Know?", Minglan was because Wei Shuyi died, which made the old lady feel distressed, so she kept him by her side.

In this life, it was because of the Xu family's son who followed Wei Yuan.

That's why, not long ago, when Wei Yuan was at the Sheng family, he emphasized to the old lady why her son was serving as a deputy general beside him.

Human relationships are about giving and taking.

The old lady is as smart as a human being, how could she not know this?

When he was at the Sheng family, Wei Yuan had already thought about some things properly.

He also believed that his niece Minglan would be able to win the favor of the old lady Sheng with her own abilities.

Just as Wei Shuyi said, Wei Yuan couldn't take care of them for the rest of their lives.

So, he had no choice but to do this under the name of his brother Xu Changzhi.

After all, he is now the Daizhou Tuanlianshi, and he will have other positions in the future, and he will also start his own family.

It is impossible for him to take care of Wei Shuyi and her mother.

Fortunately, everything developed as he thought.

It was also at the end of April.

Lin Zhaoyuan returned to Daizhou and delivered the letter written by Wei Shuyi to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan opened the letter and learned that she had safely given birth to a son. The big stone on his heart was finally put down.

He said to Xu Changzhi happily:

"My sister gave birth to a nephew for me, and asked me to give him a nickname. What nickname do you think is better?"

Nickname?

Xu Changzhi smiled and said, "Anything is fine, just don't call him a cat or a dog."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "My nephew is called Sheng Changlin. In the book Shuowen, a clump of trees is called a forest."

"How about calling him Mu Ge'er?"

Mu Ge'er?

Xu Changzhi frowned and said, "It's not as good as Lin Ge'er."

Wei Yuan said, "I don't want to call him the name given by Sheng Hong, so I'll call him Mu Ge'er."

Xu Changzhi shook his head and smiled.

After a pause, he remembered something,

"Now I am the commander of the Daizhou militia, and my sister has given birth to a son for the Sheng family."

"I'm sure her life in the Sheng family will be much better in the future. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a concubine."

If it weren't for the fact that there was no concept of co-wife in the Great Zhou, Wei Yuan would have asked Sheng Hong to make his sister a co-wife no matter what.

Although the law does not recognize the concept of co-wife, there is the title of concubine.

In the family, her status and treatment are second only to the wife.

In "Do You Know?", there is no concept of co-wife, only concubine, just like the one in the Shen family.
