After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

After having a brief chat with Yu Yanran at the street corner and getting to know each other, Han Ming picked up his second sister Han Yu and returned to the Han Mansion.

Looking at the ordinary mansion, Han Ming chuckled: "As expected of a mother, her sense of smell is really sharp."

"Brother, the eldest lady asked me to tell you that we are having a family dinner tonight. All the uncles and aunts of the Han family will be there. Please treat them well."

Han Lu's personal maid named Furong came to pay her respects and deliver the message.

"Well, I understand what my mother said. Let her rest assured." Han Ming took Han Yu's hand and led her into the mansion, then announced that the door was closed and visitors were not allowed to come.

Two flowers bloomed, each with its own beauty. The Han family did not choose to celebrate in a big way, while at the Sheng family, Sheng Changbai had just arrived at the doorstep.

"Second brother!" Rulan shouted happily when she saw Changbai getting off the carriage.

In front of the main gate of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Hong and his wife and a group of servants were standing on the steps waiting.

When Wang Ruofu saw Sheng Changbai, she ignored her sprained foot and limped down the stairs to greet her son.

"Hey, slow down, slow down!" Sheng Hong couldn't help but remind the lady when he saw her so excited.

"Son, son!" Wang Ruofu limped and almost fell down.

Sheng Changbai was quick to support his mother: "Mom, be careful."

"Son!" Wang Ruofu's eyes were filled with tears of joy. "You really make me proud! It's worth all my hard work to give birth to you and raise you, son!" Wang Ruofu hugged Sheng Changbai and cried with joy.

Seeing the mother and son like this, Sheng Hong smiled slightly and said with emotion: "Changbai, you have brought honor to the Sheng family."

Sheng Changbai stood at the bottom of the stairs, chest puffed out, and answered firmly, "I finally lived up to my father's expectations."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Don't say that, you are the best!" Wang Ruofu felt that her son was too modest and quickly praised him.

"Hurry! We have to reward my son quickly." Wang Ruofu held Sheng Changbai's hand tightly, and then gave instructions to the servants as she walked.

"We held wedding banquets, teacher appreciation banquets, set off firecrackers for ten miles, distributed porridge and money..."

When Wang Ruofu did this, Sheng Hong just chuckled and did not refute much.

Minglan, who was following silently behind him, was startled and blurted out: "Set off firecrackers?"

"Of course, for such a big happy event, we have to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Let's set off firecrackers for ten miles!"

Rulan said this as a matter of course, the excitement on her face was beyond words.

Everyone filed in from the front door, lively and cheerful, while at the back door of Sheng Mansion, Lin Qige and his group returned home silently.

The first one to dismount was Molan. She stood at the back door of Sheng Mansion, looking at the door lintel with a feeling of grievance and sarcasm.

"That's good now. Madam, you're going to be even more arrogant from now on."

He turned around and looked at his wife Lin Qinshuang, shook his handkerchief and walked into the mansion.

"Rulan is definitely going to step on my head." Molan felt indignant and unhappy. This was what she was feeling right now.

The last person to get off the carriage was Sheng Changfeng, but at this time he had long lost his former high spirits, and instead looked timid.

"What are you standing there for? Come on in!" Lin Xiaoniang threw her handkerchief at Chang Feng, angrily saying, "What are you looking at me for?!"

Lin Qige and his group entered the mansion through the back door, covered in dust.

In the backyard of the Sheng Mansion, in the old lady's room, Sheng Minglan was the first to run over and whispered the good news in her grandmother's ear.

"My second brother is in high school."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people outside rushed into the house excitedly.

"Mother!"

Sheng Hong, who was in the lead, clasped his hands together from a few meters away, and when he got closer, he bowed.

"Mother, congratulations! Bai'er lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to the university." Sheng Hong announced with a little pride.

"Okay!" The old lady nodded happily, "I already know that. Come on! Everyone, take a seat!"

The old lady was full of energy at the moment, and it seemed that this happy event also made her feel more energetic.

Everyone sat down with a smile and looked at the old lady. Only then did the old lady have something to say.

"Let me ask you, what's all the commotion outside?"

Just as Sheng Hong was about to answer, Wang Ruofu took the initiative to explain, "I was just asking them to set off firecrackers! Bai'er has graduated from high school!"

Hearing this explanation, Sheng Hong smiled and expressed his agreement.

"Let's have a great family dinner tonight," Sheng Hong added.

Hearing what the couple said, the old lady's face changed slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Are you going to make a fuss, so that everyone in the capital knows that the Sheng family's son passed the imperial examination?"

Hearing the old lady's question, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu's faces both darkened, their smiles gradually disappeared, and they looked at the old lady in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing that the couple hadn't reacted yet, the old lady took the initiative to explain.

"They all studied at my family's school. Young Master Qi didn't pass the exam, and neither did Erlang Gu. Are we celebrating with such fanfare to slap the Duke and Duchess of Qi and Marquis Gu in the face?"

When the old lady said this, Sheng Hong suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Ruofu, and was instantly awakened.

Then he looked at Old Lady Sheng. When the mother and son looked at each other, Sheng Hong suddenly understood and waved to the maid standing outside.

"Hurry, hurry! Go and tell those who are out shopping to come back!"

"Close the doors and windows. No more firecrackers or porridge stalls!"

After Sheng Hong finished giving the order, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down calmly.

Wang Ruofu, with a look of resignation and grievance, said cautiously, "The Han family's eldest son is also a high school graduate."

Seeing the eldest lady bring up Han Ming, the old lady sighed softly and looked at Wang Ruofu with an expression that said the child was incorrigible.

"Then do you know what the Han Mansion is like now?" the old lady asked again.

Wang Ruofu was completely clueless. He had been busy with his son's affairs most of the day and had no time to care about what happened to the Han family.

Sheng Hong was a person who didn't care about anything. When he heard his mother's question, he just stood there in a daze.

Only Minglan's eyes rolled around, vaguely guessing how things would develop.

"Mother Fang."

The old lady called her personal maid, and an old lady about the same age as her answered.

"To answer the old lady, I heard from people outside that the Han Mansion has been closed. There are no big celebrations, and no one is going out to buy things. Everything is quiet and there is no change."

"The gateman in the front yard also sent a message that the young man of the Han family has an appointment with the young man of the Bai family and the second son of the Gu family to have a drink in the evening!" The maid told the news she had learned one by one.

These words made Minglan's eyes flash with an expression of "as expected", and Sheng Hong and his wife were speechless.

After a while, Sheng Hong took the initiative to speak: "Mother, you are so insightful."

"I, an old woman, don't have any real insights. It's just that we are in Bianjing, and we need to be careful in all walks of life. Even the Han family of that great husband has to be cautious, not to mention our Sheng family."

The old lady earnestly explained to Sheng Hong how to survive in Bian Jing.

"Mother is teaching me that I must always be careful in the future." Sheng Hong stood up and bowed.

Only Wang Ruofu had a look of resentment and resentment on her face. What was supposed to be a great day was ruined because of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion and the Marquis of Ningyuan’s Mansion.

"Living in the capital is so oppressive. The streets are crowded with nobles and relatives, and you have to look after others' faces. It's even worse than Yangzhou!"

Wang Ruofu still said this with some reluctance and anger.

"You..." Sheng Hong pointed at Wang Ruofu and wanted to say something harsh, but when he saw his mother and daughter were there, he could only smile awkwardly.

Minglan came out to save the situation at the right time and gave her father a way out.

"Madam, you don't have to feel disappointed. Well, it's the same if we celebrate behind closed doors."

"Yes!" Sheng Hong quickly took over the conversation and looked at Minglan with satisfaction.

Minglan continued, "I've already prepared a gift for my second brother, and I'm just waiting to give it to him when he passes the imperial examination!"

After these words were spoken, Rulan, who was standing beside her, lowered her head and pinched her handkerchief unhappily.

Sheng Hong was even happier and took the initiative to say to the old lady: "Ming girl is really sensible, better than his sisters."

This casual remark made Sheng Minglan's heart skip a beat. She secretly thought that something bad was going to happen, and quickly said again: "Fifth sister also prepared a gift."

"Oh, really?" Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction and looked at his two daughters with a smile.

Rulan, on the other hand, had a look of confusion on her face and eyes, looking at Minglan in bewilderment.

"It's much more valuable than mine!" Minglan finally finished her words and smiled slightly.

Rulan asked Minglan quietly, "Where did I prepare the gift?"

Minglan was startled for a moment, then said softly, "As usual, I've prepared one for you."

Hearing this, Rulan smiled happily: "You are the only one who is sensible!"

The two sisters were chatting quietly here, while Sheng Hong and his wife and the old lady were talking about Sheng Changbai's marriage over there.

Wang Ruofu intended to follow the advice of her sister Kang Wangshi and marry her own daughter Yuner. Sheng Hong did not agree at first, but he did not know how to bring himself to do it.

The old lady directly rejected her suggestion with one sentence: "I met Yuner when he was a child. When he finds a suitable family and gets married in the future, please let me know so that I can give him a generous gift."

In this way, the matter was left unresolved, and Sheng Hong smiled happily, thinking that his mother was so supportive!
