"Everything will be done if it is not planned, and if it is not done, it will be ruined. Now that we are all in jail, we really have to prepare for the worst."
Gu Tingye seemed serious and said sincerely.
The truth of what he said was correct, but since Sheng Changbai knew that Gu Tingye might join forces with Zhao Zongquan to stage a bitter plot, Sheng Changbai felt that Gu Er was not sincere.
Of course, if Gu Tingye really wanted to join forces with the emperor to cause trouble, this would be a really bad time.
It is perfectly normal to keep secrets from someone who has nothing to do with Sheng Changbai.
No matter how you calculate it, you can't count Sheng Changbai and Zhao Zongquan on their side.
"..." Sheng Changbai: "Okay, if you are really demoted from Beijing, the child will live in our house."
Although Wang Ruofu's leadership level is average, he is not very good at caring for his husband and raising his children.
Hai Chaoyun will give birth soon. If he has his own child, he may not have time to take care of other people's children.
But letting Sister Rong live in the Sheng family is Gu Tingye's best choice.
Asking Gu Tingye to entrust his children to the homes of a few people in Yuzhou, to learn how to be domineering and willful in the kind of environment where the poor grew up, is not as good as the Sheng family.
The children educated by Wang Ruofu may not have very good personalities, but at least their quality is no problem.
"Then I will have no worries. No matter what punishment your Majesty imposes on me, I can accept it." Gu Tingye said with a wry smile.
He was a little too pessimistic about his own handling, and his reaction was a little too calm.
After all, Gu Tingye had a large part of the credit for the throne of Zhao Zongquan. After being dealt with, he did not complain at all, which was not in line with Gu Tingye's character.
"It took a lot of effort for you to turn around. Can you accept your current status if you return to the past?" Sheng Changbai continued to ask in order to be more sure.
"So what if I don't accept it? It's all the fault of my own incompetence." Gu Tingye spread his hands and replied helplessly.
"Then it's not like you're in jail for nothing. At worst, you'll have to start over again. There's no peace in the world, and there's no shortage of opportunities for you to get back on your feet."
With preconceptions and stereotypes, the more Sheng Changbai looked at Gu Tingye, the more he seemed to be acting.
Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai's acting in this prison was certainly not in vain.
The jailer who was keeping an eye on the two men would naturally spread the news to the ears of the people who should hear it.
Even though he was mostly sure of his judgment in his heart, Sheng Changbai didn't show his voice. He followed Gu Tingye's words and said some comforting words, pretending that he didn't know anything.
After hearing that Gu Tingye had some reflections, Sheng Changbai still agreed.
Regardless of whether it is acting or not, it is not a bad thing for Gu Tingye to reflect on himself.
"Come, drink. If you want to drink together in the future, I don't know how long it will take."
After drinking a few drinks, Sheng Changbai told Gu Tingye some of the developments in the court and the attitudes of all parties towards Gu Tingye. It was time to visit the prison.
Although the chat didn't last long and didn't say much useful things, Sheng Changbai still tended to think that Gu Tingye was probably really acting.
Everyone knows that Gu Tingye is the first contributor to Zhao Zongquan's succession.
He saved Zhao Zongquan and his son several times, but Zhao Zongquan could not be too devoted to Gu Tingye because he only considered the wind.
He was really afraid of Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye usually acted wildly and was indeed a bit domineering, but taking away Gu Tingye's military power was enough.
There is no need for Gu Tingye's outcome to be too tragic and to further deepen Zhao Zongquan's character as an ungrateful and cold-natured person.
Zhao Zongquan's character is already bad enough now, if it keeps getting worse.
Han Zhang was not sure, yet he dared to hang out with Zhao Zongquan.
The investigation of Gu Tingye's case is over. There are only a few witnesses and physical evidence in total.
The final verdict will ultimately depend on the emperor's will.
Even if the Queen Mother wanted to hold on to Gu Tingye, she still had to look at the emperor's attitude to see if he would protect Gu Tingye to the death.
The current Queen Mother can no longer restrict Zhao Zongquan too much.
Otherwise, he would not have adopted the method of spreading news to make Zhao Zongquan give up on Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye's case is certainly a hot topic in Bianliang nowadays.
But no matter how hot this hot spot is, it actually has nothing to do with most of them.
To most people, Gu Tingye is the source of gossip and conversation after dinner.
The people of Bianliang City lived their lives as usual, and the Sheng family lived their lives as usual.
At this time, the wedding date of Minglan and He Hongwen has also arrived.
"Minglan, after you get married, you will become a member of the He family. After you get married, you must support your husband and raise your children, respect your elders, and don't fall into the shoes of my Sheng family."
"Girl Ming, after marrying into the He family, she wants her husband to take care of her, make her husband and wife harmonious, open up branches and leaves for the He family, assist her husband in taking care of the family business, pass on the family, and make the family glorious."
When Minglan got married, Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong were the ones taking charge of the ceremony. They were the most serious elders.
Minglan's biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang, could only stand by Wang Ruofu's side and couldn't even give any instructions. She could only silently watch her daughter get married.
The old lady who was dearest to Minglan couldn't bear to see this kind of farewell, so she hid in the Shou'an Hall and didn't even come to the main hall.
Then I watched He Hongwen take Minglan out. The last daughter of the Sheng family finally got married.
The wedding that He Hongwen prepared for Minglan was actually quite grand.
It was no less than the scene when Ru Lan married into the Li family.
Although the He family cannot be said to be very wealthy, medicine has always been a hugely profitable industry in any era.
The He family has never worried about money matters.
For the wedding scene, the He family also made it perfect within the scope of etiquette.
In fact, compared to the quality of the guests, the guests from the He family are more noble than the guests from the Li family.
Although He Hongwen was not an official and did not have many classmates, in the same year, his colleagues came to congratulate him.
However, because He Hongwen came from a wealthy family, many old friends from official families attended the wedding.
And because this branch is a family of imperial doctors, many imperial doctors came to participate in the marriage.
The connections of this group of famous doctors should not be underestimated. Looking at them makes people feel safe.
All in all, Minglan's wedding was not a shabby affair, it was quite impressive. It was no worse than others in every aspect, and it was no worse than Ru Lan and Mo Lan's weddings in every aspect.
"Girl Ming, come here quickly and let grandma take a look at you."
Then when Sanchao returned home, she saw Minglan and He Hongwen, and Mrs. Sheng shouted anxiously.
The granddaughter whom I raised with all my heart and soul is different. When Lan came home, the old lady didn't like to see people and didn't like to be lively. It was a completely different attitude.
When there is no blood relationship, how good the relationship is depends entirely on getting along.
After so many years, the old lady undoubtedly has the deepest relationship with Minglan.
Minglan is now the lifeblood of the old lady. If Minglan's life is not stable, the old lady at home will not be stable either.
Nowadays, Minglan is to the old lady of the Sheng family, just like Wang Ruoyu is to the old lady of the Wang family.
Minglan (Wang Ruoyu) has a bad life, and the old lady can do anything.
If Minglan was still allowed to marry Gu Tingye, who is now in prison, the old lady would have made the whole family miserable.
Sheng Hong, this cheap son, will be caught by the old lady and trained like a cheap grandson.
Sacrificing the Sheng family and helping Minglan is something the old lady is very willing to do.
The old lady in the past valued the inheritance and prosperity of the Sheng family most.
Now Sheng Xiaoliu is the heaviest, Minglan alone and the Sheng family have the same weight.
"Grandma, we haven't seen each other for only three days." Minglan rushed over and said with a smile.
"Why is it only three days? Grandma feels like three months have passed." the old lady replied.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to He Hongwen after saluting the old lady, Sheng Changbai greeted:
"Brother Hong, let them talk for a while first. Ever since I brought Sixth Sister to my side, Sixth Sister and the old lady have not been separated for such a long time."
"It's understandable. I grew up with my grandmother, and my relationship with my grandmother is the same as Minglan's relationship with the old lady." He Hongwen responded.
She has a gentle personality and is not that strong, so she is quite suitable for Minglan to handle.
It's hard to find a man in this era who doesn't have machismo, let alone He Hongwen, who can respect women from the bottom of his heart. It's really hard to find.
"As long as husband and wife can understand each other and live in harmony. In the next period of time, Brother Hong, what are your plans?"
Sheng Changbai asked casually, even though the He family was known as a family of royal doctors.
But the He family does not actually rely on the salary from the Taiyuan Hospital to make money, and no one from the He Hongwen family is working in the Taiyuan Hospital.
It is not the usual consultation fee. He Hongwen does not go to the clinic except for the need of gaining experience.
The He family is actually also a businessman, mainly engaged in the medicine business, so He Hongwen has been following his grandmother since he was a child, traveling all over the world.
"Originally I was supposed to go to Yunnan to buy a batch of medicinal materials, but I just got married and it is not suitable to travel far. During this time, I have been sitting in Bianliang."
"That's fine, it's more convenient to live in Bianliang." Sheng Changbai responded first.
In fact, deep down, Sheng Changbai also felt that He Hongwen could go about his business.
No matter how many years Minglan grows up, it will not be too late for the two of them to get along for a long time.
From the current situation, it seems that among the three Lans, the first to have a child is probably the youngest Minglan.
In other words, the He family also has an old lady who is a gynecologist, which makes people feel more at ease.
Before Sheng Changbai could say something to persuade men to be more busy with their careers, He Hongwen said again:
"My mother's health is good and bad. It's really hard for me to stay away from home for too long."
"Then we really can't live together. How are your aunt's family doing?"
Hearing what He Hongwen said, Sheng Changbai changed the topic.
The He family is also a medical family, and Mrs. He is especially good at gynecology.
Naturally, she has her own rules. Even if she only relies on experience, she should be able to judge that older women are more conducive to childbearing.
Let's first look at the He family's attitude on this matter.
"Their family's life is a bit difficult. My uncle and cousins have no experience in running a business. I bought some fields for them, but they suffered another flood this year, and their family still needs some help from me."
Even if there was a flood, the imperial court reduced taxes, making it difficult for the Cao family to survive.
This family seems to still want to become parasites of the He family.
"They are all people who have been exiled. They have suffered all kinds of hardships. How come they still don't have the ability to be self-reliant. You can help them for a while, but you can't help them forever. It's better to help them become self-reliant as soon as possible.
"
This family has probably become a problem for Minglan.
But thinking about Minglan, the old lady has been teaching her through words and deeds for seven or eight years.
It's just some poor relatives, Minglan's ability is enough to deal with them.
When the daughter comes home, it is better to talk about the household affairs and find out how her daughter is doing in her husband's family after she gets married.
Judging only from the life of the first three days after marriage, in comparison, among the four Lans in the family, the one Minglan married into was the most worry-free.
Although Ru Lan's situation is not bad, marrying into the Li family, who abides by the rules, is a kind of constraint for Ru Lan.
Hua Lan has always been a dedicated eldest sister, and she only feels happy and wishes Minglan a good marriage.
But Molan and Rulan had been fighting with Minglan since they were young. They married Minglan better and lived a more harmonious life.
It is inevitable that the fourth and fifth sons would have some sarcastic remarks about Sheng Lao Liu.
After all, these two men have stayed away from Bianliang, and only He Hongwen can stay in Bianliang properly.
Even after they got married, there was still a subtle rivalry between the three of them.
They all said some slanderous things like, my husband has a better future, and although He Hongwen can bianliang, he can only go into medicine.
In short, each finds some of its own advantages to gain some sense of superiority.
After getting married, Minglan left the Sheng family and became less tolerant than before.
When these three orchids come together, it's just a show of yin and yang and quarrels.
"These three sisters-in-law have finally gone out. If the three of them had been at home, I don't know how lively this house would be."
After sending the person away and returning to his courtyard, Sheng Changbai heard that someone in Haishi's dowry was gossiping.
The tone was still very obvious, standing on Hai Chaoyun's side and helping Hai Chaoyun speak.
Sanlan, who didn't have a sister-in-law after getting married, is considered very lucky.
The relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law has always been a big problem.
Hua Lan can already be said to be very kind to others and treats her sister-in-law very well.
But when the sister-in-law went out, Yuan's mother-in-law still asked Hualan to give her dowry Zhuangzi to her sister-in-law as a dowry.
Of course, Hua Lan was not willing to give away the most stable and valuable rural farm in Bianliang.
Although the sister-in-law also has sense of propriety and is unwilling to accept the dowry from her sister-in-law.
In the end, the Sheng family did not come forward, and the Yuan family's mother-in-law failed to take over Hualan's farm.
However, due to Yuan's mother-in-law's random operations, a gap arose between the sister-in-law and her sister-in-law.
Hualan has not managed the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law perfectly, and it is difficult for the remaining three Lans to truly handle it.
Even Haishi, who has received a complete education from a wealthy family, has only a superficially harmonious relationship with a few Lans in his family.
It's hard to say how good the relationship between them is.
