Li Xueguo's seventh-grade official's official career is naturally nothing in Bianjing City, but it is still quite prestigious in Yangzhou City. The Li Mansion is also a large mansion in Yangzhou City and is a famous family in Yangzhou.
Li Xuexiu specially arranged Zhou Chen in the best villa in the mansion and allowed Zhou Chen to move around freely. However, Zhou Chen was very sensible and did not move around. He just stayed quietly and at the same time sent his men to Yangzhou City to inquire.
The situation of Sheng Mansion.
Zhou Chen set out all the way from Bianjing, of course not to escort Li Xuexue, his ultimate goal was of course the Sheng family.
It was a coincidence that Li Xuexue's hometown was Yangzhou. Otherwise, he would have found other reasons to inquire about the Sheng family.
A few days later, Shengfu!
Sheng Mansion is the residence of Sheng Hong, the general magistrate of Yangzhou. As the general magistrate of Yangzhou, Sheng Hong's rank is only below the magistrate of the state. He is an official of the sixth rank. If he is placed in Yangzhou City, he also belongs to a noble family.
In the plot, Sheng Hong seems to be a fatuous and funny person, but in fact, this is not the case. Sheng Hong is actually a smart person who is well-rounded, good at observing people, and good at dancing.
The fact that he was promoted from a ninth-grade official in a bitter cold place to Tokyo, and finally became a member of the imperial court, shows that he is quite capable and very shrewd in his work.
Under the leadership of Sheng Hong, the second branch of the Sheng family gradually became prosperous.
Sheng Hong was originally an unpopular son of the Sheng family. He grew up under the care of his aunt, Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. Sheng also specially went to the Wang family of the former master to marry him and married the youngest daughter of Mrs. Wang.
That is Mrs. Wang today.
Sheng Hong's father was a courtier who was handsome and talented. He won the heart of Yongyi Hou's only daughter. In the first half of his life, his career was smooth and his marriage was happy.
However, the originally good situation was ruined by the Tanhua Lang himself. He married the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi, but in the end he doted on his concubine and killed his wife. As a result, the main wife's legitimate son died at an early age, and the Sheng Mansion has been slowly declining since then.
.
But Mrs. Sheng is a resolute and courageous woman. After her husband died, she raised Sheng Hong, the concubine born by her eldest concubine, on her own, so that he could study for the imperial examination. She also asked Mrs. Wang to marry Mrs. Wang’s niece for his career. This allowed Sheng Hong to have
I have the opportunity to serve as an official, and my career will gradually go smoothly and get better and better.
After Sheng Hong became successful, he also married two concubines, namely Lin Xiaoniang and Wei Xiaoniang.
As a concubine, Sheng Hong did not learn from his late father's lesson. When he came to his own place, he actually began to spoil his concubines and destroy his wives. He doted on his concubine Lin Sushuang and Lin Xiaoniang far more than his wife, Mrs. Wang, so that the backyard of the Sheng Mansion was a mess.
, even the eldest lady’s housekeeping rights were assigned to her concubine, Lin Xiaoniang.
As the saying goes, like father, like son, I'm afraid that's the case. It's just that Sheng Hong is luckier than his father. He has an aunt, Mrs. Sheng, who can protect him from wind and rain.
Sheng Hong spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. He spent most of the month staying at Lin Xiaoniang's Linqige, and today he happened to be resting in Linqige.
Sheng Hong, who had taken off his shirt, was sitting on the Arhat bed, eating wine and enjoying Miss Lin's service. He would read a few poems from time to time, feeling comfortable and at ease.
"Hong Lang's literary talent is so outstanding that I am truly convinced and admired by my slaves."
Lin Xiaoniang twisted her waist and sat in Sheng Hong's arms with a charming face. She put her arms around Sheng Hong's neck with a look of affection on her face.
Sheng Hong laughed proudly, raising and lowering his hands to tease Lin Xiaoniang, making him even more satisfied.
The reason why he dotes on Lin Xiaoniang is because with Lin Xiaoniang, he can enjoy the pleasures of men, which he cannot enjoy with Mrs. Wang.
Not only would Mrs. Wang not cater to him as blindly as Miss Lin, but she also had a very bad temper. She would start yelling when she disagreed with him. She was not delicate or lovable at all.
Sheng Hong's eyes were blurred and he was drunk. He hugged Lin Xiaoniang and wanted to take action.
"My lord, my lord."
The sudden call made Sheng Hong startled, his body trembled, and then he roared angrily.
"What's your name? What's your name? Are you going to take a rest if you don't see me?"
Anyone who is interrupted at this critical moment will get angry, even if he knows that the person speaking is his right-hand man.
"Dong Rong, you'd better be busy, otherwise you can go get the ten pieces yourself."
Dongrong's voice outside sounded again: "Master, the concierge just sent a greeting card. He reported back that the person who sent the greeting card claimed to be the servant of the third son of the Marquis Zhongjing in Tokyo."
"What?"
Sheng Hong inside the room let out an exclamation and hurriedly pushed Xiaoniang Lin away. Then he rushed over and opened the door without even putting on his clothes.
Dong Rong stood at the door and lowered his head slightly when he saw Sheng Hong coming out.
"Tell me again, who sent the greeting card?"
"My Lord, he said he is the third son of the Marquis Zhongjing in Tokyo."
Sheng Hong looked solemn: "I know the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion. It is a famous Marquis Mansion in Tokyo. How could their third son go to Yangzhou and specially send a greeting card to our family?"
"Dongrong, where is the person who sent the greeting card?"
"I've already left. Please post here."
Sheng Hong hurriedly took it and opened it. The content of the greeting card was very simple. It said that he would pay a visit in person tomorrow and leave his name for Zhou Chen, the third son of Marquis Zhongjing.
"The surname of Marquis Zhongjing is Zhou, so that's correct."
With doubts in his heart, he didn't care to be intimate with Lin Sushuang, and hurried back to the house to let Xiaoniang Lin dress him.
Lin Sushuang heard what Sheng Hong and Dong Rong said just now. She asked carefully while dressing Sheng Hong.
"Honglang, I just heard you talk about the Marquis Mansion. Does Honglang still have any friendship with the Marquis Mansion?"
To her, a sixth-grade official like Sheng Hong was already extraordinary, let alone the majestic Marquis Palace of Tokyo, which was something she could not reach no matter what.
"It's okay, don't ask around, this is not something you can ask about."
Sheng Hong scolded him angrily. Although he doted on Lin Sushuang, he was still sensible. He could leave the affairs of the inner house to Lin Sushuang, but he would not let Lin Sushuang mess around with the outside affairs.
Lin Sushuang said angrily: "Honglang, don't be angry. I just asked casually, okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
Sheng Hong ignored her, and after putting on his clothes, he hurriedly left Linqige and went straight to Madam Wang's Wei Ruixuan.
