Chapter 102 Three years
Madam Kong clearly saw that among the girls in the Sheng family, Molan was too selfish and always only praised her own glory. She ignored the needs of her sisters and only focused on satisfying her vanity.
Selfish, ignorant!
Rulan is domineering, relied on her status as a legitimate daughter, and was domineering. To put it nicely, she was naive, but in fact she was just confused and had no scheming.
Quarreling for quarrels, and always speaking without any choice, without any respect for the children of the official family.
As for Minglan, although she had no big mistakes, she had small mistakes. She was very proud of her status as a concubine, and Madam Kong also understood that she was able to protect herself.
However, after all, Madam Kong was invited by the Sheng family, so she had to take care of the entire Sheng family. What's more, Minglan was also a member of the Sheng family after all. If the sisters had bad reputations, how could she have benefits?
Therefore, Madam Kong needs to take Minglan as a lesson to teach everyone to learn a truth and understand that the sisters are one, one prosper and one loses one.
Finally, Madam Kong even pointed out Sheng Hong's fault, saying that he was not upright in his position, which made the Sheng family mess up.
As the lord, you must be able to get a bowl of water to be even, and you cannot make the weak who are not favored more and more favored, and make the favored more and more favored. Such an unbalanced two extremes is not the way to be the doctrine of the mean.
At the same time, Madam Kong also said that Sheng Hong's mistakes are the common people, the fair ones; Madam Wang's mistakes are the law and the method; while Lin Qinshuang's mistakes are the etiquette and the etiquette.
The three mistakes are all taboos for the family.
As a result, everyone gained something, and then reflected on themselves and realized the truth.
...
After three years, Madam Kong immediately said goodbye to Mrs. Sheng. Although the old lady repeatedly tried to keep her, Madam Kong had always decided to leave. This time she came here just to take advantage of the convenience of teaching the girls of the Sheng family to reunite with the old sisters.
At this time, after three years of reunion with Mrs. Sheng, Madam Kong was already satisfied.
"Old sister, don't give it to me!"
Outside the Sheng family gate, Madam Kong sat in the carriage and waved to Old Lady Sheng: "Then, we will be together again!"
"well!"
By the wind, Old Lady Sheng leaned against Minglan's support, held back her tears and watched as her former friend left.
Although she was sad and reluctant to part with her old friends, she also understood that she could not stop her from doing this.
Madam Kong had already told the old lady that after she returned to her hometown this time, she planned to die in her hometown, and the leaves returned to their roots. Even though she experienced the prosperity of the world, there was only one person after a turbidity.
What a dangerous place in the Great Inner Palace, it is rare for Madam Kong to escape with her own strength. It is even more of a lifelong wish to return to her hometown. Therefore, Mrs. Sheng had to bear the tears and say goodbye to her, and see her again if she is destined to be together.
"Grandma, don't be sad!"
Minglan helped Old Lady Sheng and comforted her: "Madam Kong is just returning to her hometown. If you are old, your granddaughter will go to Madam Kong's hometown with you and see her together!"
"hehe……"
Old Mrs. Sheng turned her head and looked at the little granddaughter beside her, and waved her hand in vain: "I hope I, the old woman, can really hold on until that day!"
When old friends are separated, the old lady is inevitably a little sad. When they are old, they are naturally sad.
"grandmother……"
Seeing this, Minglan could only call out sadly.
"Go back!"
When Madam Kong's carriage disappeared, the old lady waved her hand and took everyone back to the mansion.
...
Three years have passed like a white horse passing by, like a horse riding through the gap.
And over the years, the Sheng family has also undergone considerable changes.
First of all, Sheng Hong's official position finally changed and he became a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Works. Although it was not an important position, it also had good benefits and no disputes over interests. It was in line with Sheng Hong's uncontested nature. At least, after Sheng Hong entered the Ministry of Works, he was regarded as a fish in water, and was valued by his superiors and colleagues and believed.
Secondly, the most important thing in the Sheng family is coming soon.
The most important step for Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng and others is the difficult and difficult examination of the imperial examination, which is about to come.
This year, Sheng Changbai was eighteen years old and was the first time he entered the examination room of the examination. In fact, he had already passed the examination a few years ago and had the opportunity to participate in the examination. However, Sheng Changbai felt that his background was insufficient, so he gave up that spring exam and left it to the next time.
Similarly, Qi Heng and Sheng Changquan have similar situations, both of which were in the provincial examinations in the same year and the commemorative examinations in the same year.
Sheng Changfeng is different. He just won the exam last year and was not at the top, but he felt that his articles had entered the realm of transformation, so he was determined to make a big splash!
Therefore, Sheng Changfeng couldn't wait to participate in this spring exam and was preparing to compete with his elder brother.
So, for a while, everyone in the Sheng family was busy with this matter, preparing to prepare everything for the several people in the mansion to study, and wait for the gold list to be named.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Tingye, the second son of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, also walked out of Bailu Cave Academy not long ago and returned to Tokyo to prepare for the exam. Because Mr. Zhuang Ru is famous and Gu Tingye has a good relationship with Sheng Changbai, he entered the Sheng Family School before the exam to listen to Zhuang Xuejia's guidance.
Therefore, this time, there were four students waiting to be taken in Shengjia School.
At the same time, Sheng Changquan on the other side is also time for the end of the situation.
However, what he wants to take is the first step in the imperial examination, that is, the children's examination.
However, the children's examination is divided into three categories, namely the county examination, the government examination and the college examination. The first two are the selection tests for the children's qualifications, and the college examination is the first step for the children to turn to scholars and advance to the career.
Although the three are different in time and have many restrictions, Sheng Hong, as a Beijing official, always had preferential treatment for his descendants. During the Taizu period, in order to be kind to the civil servants, he issued an imperial edict, stating that those who were born in the capital could take the county examination and the government examination nearby to show their favor.
After all, although Tong Sheng’s class has a reputation for literary reputation, it is still not in the classics. Compared with the court, it is not itchy or painful, so I let it go lightly, not very strict, but it is different when I go to the hospital for examination!
Once the college entrance examination is passed, it means that you have the status of a scholar and can have many privileges, such as not paying homage to an official position, not serving in a service, and exempting from rent and taxes. Therefore, Taizu ordered anyone to return to his hometown for the examination and not to be close to others for personal gain, so as to avoid fraud.
Therefore, Sheng Changquan can also take the Tongsheng exam in Tokyo first, and then return to his hometown in Yuyang to take the exam.
...
Zhiyuantang.
Sheng Changquan's yard.
"Changqing, are you ready for everything I want?"
A clear and clear male voice came out of the study.
"Young master, everything is ready!"
Outside the door, a strong man with a burly figure and a simple appearance replied respectfully.
