Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

It was a sunny day on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Near noon, the sound of a carriage was heard outside Old Sheng's house.

Sheng Nuo hurried out of the house, his face full of joy, and ran out the door while holding his shoes, "Is it the eldest son of the Sun family who is here?"

Then Sheng Hong, Wang, and Xu came out of the house. They were not wearing casual clothes, and it was obvious that they were dressed up carefully. The four of them went to the door to greet the guests with smiles on their faces.

The one who was valued so much by the eldest wife and called Dalang by Shengnuo was none other than Xiaoru's husband, Sun's Dalang. This was Xiaoru's first visit to her parents' home since she got married.

The first person to get off the carriage was a man in his thirties with a medium build, fair complexion and a brocade robe. Next came Xiaoru, who was supported by a maid. Xiaoru was also dressed delicately, with a little makeup on her face, exquisite jewelry on her head and hands, and a pink makeup jacket. If you ignore her slightly protruding belly, she could be said to be more beautiful than a flower.

It has been almost half a year since Xiaoru was carried to the Sun family. Looking at the clothes and appearance of Shengnuo's family, one can tell that Xiaoru had informed them in advance that she would be coming back today.

"Da Lang," Sheng Nuo walked a few steps quickly to Sun Sheng and said with a smile, "You have come from afar, let's go in and have some tea." As Sheng Nuo spoke, he let Sun's Da Lang go in. Wang and Xu accompanied Xiao Ru into the house.

"Mr. Sheng, there's no need to be so polite." Sun Sheng glanced at Xiaoru and saw her walking into the house accompanied by Wang and Xu, so he followed Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong.

Sun Sheng brought the servants and maids with him, and they all unloaded a lot of things from the carriage and followed the master into the house.

Sheng Kai came out of the house wearing a brand new linen robe, bowed to Sun Sheng, and followed them to the upper room.

In order to show their respect and regard for Sun Sheng, the Sheng family put on their best clothes and gathered in the upper room.

In the upper room, Sun Sheng sat on a chair with two servants standing behind him. Old Master Sheng accompanied him and introduced him to the people in his family.

After the greetings, Sun Sheng asked the servant to bring out two gift boxes. "These are the gifts prepared for you, please accept them."

Sheng Nuo couldn't stop laughing, "Oh, sorry for the expense. We don't have the money to spend on these toys."

Sun Sheng was entertaining in the upper room, while Wang took Xiao Ru to the big room. When they got there, Xiao Ru waved to the maid to wait at the door, as the mother and daughter had some personal matters to discuss.

Wang held Xiaoru's hand, looking at her daughter's slightly bulging belly and the dark circles under her eyes that could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried, "Xiaoru, the baby is almost five months old, you need to relax and don't take anything to heart. The most important thing now is to keep the baby safe."

Xiaoru is now the most precious lady in the Sun family, and the whole family hopes that the baby in her belly is a boy. Although she is a concubine, Sun Sheng has no sons. If Xiaoru can have a boy, her status will be improved.

But there were too many girls in Sun Sheng's family. Not only did he have to deal with all the concubines, but he also had to deal with the mistress of the house. Although she had no worries about food and drink and wore gold and silver, her life was not very happy. Sun Sheng was not a man who would settle down. After Xiaoru's novelty period wore off and she was pregnant and could not sleep with him, he started to bring concubines home again.

Fortunately, the old lady at home attached great importance to the baby in her belly and specially arranged two maids to serve her closely.

"The old lady values ​​the baby in my belly very much. If I can give birth to a boy this time, my life will be better." Xiaoru said, "Mom, please come back and stay with me for a few days this time. You can also help me grow some experience."

Xiaoru lives alone in a courtyard. Some of the servants are awarded by her ladyship, and some are given by the old lady. She has not yet cultivated any confidants, so she is usually very cautious in what she says and does, for fear of being caught and beaten to death.

Now everyone in the Sun family is very kind to her, but one can never judge a person by his appearance. Moreover, if she gives birth to a boy, it will affect the interests of many people and make many concubines jealous.

Wang saw that Xiaoru was wearing silk and silk and had pearls and jade on her head. She was no longer the same Xiaoru as she was in the old country house. But when she heard her daughter asked her to live with her in Sun's house, Wang knew that her daughter's life was far from as glamorous as it seemed.

"Xiao Ru, does the boss of the Sheng family dislike your burns? Or did something happen that I don't know about?" Wang asked nervously, holding Xiao Ru's hand.

"No, mother, I put the blame on a concubine in the family for the burn. Fortunately, Dalang still loves me and did not alienate me because of the burn," Xiaoru said to Wang in a low voice. "Mother, don't look at my appearance of glory, in fact, I am very miserable inside. Sun Dalang brought many concubines into the family. When a group of women are together, they only quarrel and bicker. Every day they are weird. And the second and third sons of the Sun family are not easy to deal with."

She didn't say how she put the blame on others, but Wang could roughly guess that her daughter must have suffered again.

"Xiao Ru, I didn't agree with this marriage in the first place, but you tried so hard to get her to marry into the family." Wang sighed and said, "It's no use talking about this now. We have to look forward and make plans for the future. I'll follow you back to the Sun family when we go back."

Because Xiaoru was just a concubine, Sun Sheng could not be considered a proper son-in-law. The old Sheng family treated him very attentively, especially Sheng Nuo and Wang. Because the restaurant in the town was not open, Sun Sheng sent someone to knock on a restaurant in the town that made private dishes with silver and ordered a table of good food to be sent over.

Wang felt that it was inappropriate and insisted on preparing a few more home-cooked dishes for Sun Sheng to taste, but the family was living in a tight situation and there was no good wine and meat to entertain him. Fortunately, Xiaoru sent a message back early saying that she would be home today and brought money, so the old Sheng family was able to buy some meat and vegetables in advance.

Because they were not proper relatives, and Xiaolan's family had separated and lived separately, so Sun Sheng, who was entertaining the old Sheng family alone, did not invite Xiaolan's family to the banquet. Of course, Sun Sheng did not take Xiaolan's family seriously, and he probably didn't even know that there was such a family. After all, Xiaoru was just an aunt, and he looked down on her family. If Xiaoru was not pregnant, he would not even be willing to go to the old Sheng family.

After lunch, Wang followed Xiaoru and her group back to Sun's house.
