Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

At this moment, Lu Xiao also walked in with Shu Lan and others and shouted to Grandma.

"Grandma, let's come back."

Shulan's grandmother immediately said, "It's good to be back. It's good to be back. Everyone, please come in quickly and sit down and talk."

Immediately, everyone rushed into the front hall.

The front hall of Sheng Mansion, which was not very large to begin with, suddenly became crowded.

As soon as they entered the house, the two old ladies began to chatter.

Looking at that energy, it seems like he has endless things to say.

Chapter 282 Uninvited Guest

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten days since I returned to Youyang.

In the first few days, Lu Xiao was very busy.

Not only did he have to deal with the banquets of his former classmates, but he also had to deal with the local officials in Yuyang.

The Youyang County Magistrate's visiting card was delivered to Sheng Mansion early the next morning.

When Sheng Wei first received the visiting card, he was terrified.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao reminded him that he was now a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank official in the capital.

In terms of rank, the county magistrate is only a seventh rank.

Moreover, he was a close official of the government.

Therefore, it was only natural for the Youyang County Magistrate to pay a visit.

Only then did Sheng Wei finally calm down.

Of course, having said that, we still have to give the Youyang County Magistrate some respect.

After all, no matter what, Lu Xiao came from Youyang County.

Moreover, Youyang is the ancestral land of the Sheng family, and also the ancestral land of the Lu family.

There's no harm in having a good relationship with the local magistrate.

So, Lu Xiao finally accepted the invitation.

It took him four or five days to complete all the social engagements.

After that, Lu Xiao became idle.

Every day he either took his sister-in-law and Minglan to the mountains to hunt, or went out for an outing.

The days are so unhappy.

But comfortable days are always short-lived, and there will always be some inappropriate people who will appear at inappropriate times to spoil the fun.

That day, Lu Xiao got up according to his usual routine, had breakfast, and then sat alone in his study, reading a book.

Reading for two hours every day has become Lu Xiao's habit.

Even though he has become the top scholar, he still hasn't given up this habit.

Even though he had already finished reading the books in the Sheng Mansion, he could still learn something new from the old.

But just when he was engrossed in watching, his sister-in-law hurried in with Sheng Xiaoliu.

"Brother-in-law, please help me! That annoying Mr. Sun is here again."

Um?

Lu Xiao suddenly felt strange.

His father-in-law had mentioned this matter in a letter to him before.

He certainly would not marry his youngest daughter to Sun Xiucai.

How could this person be so shameless?

You're so brave to come to my house.

To be honest, Lu Xiao rarely deliberately dislikes someone.

But facing such a person, he really couldn't help himself.

So he said to his sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look."

With these words, my sister-in-law finally stopped being so anxious.

Then he urged Lu Xiao to go to the inner hall quickly.

After arriving at the front hall, Lu Xiao realized that many people were sitting in the inner hall today.

Even the two old ladies of the Sheng family showed up. Besides that, there was also Sun Xiucai, who was only twenty years old but looked like a forty-year-old. And there was also a woman with a very sarcastic look.

At this moment, the woman was speaking with a smug look on her face.

"My son is a scholar. Do you know what a scholar is? He's a prime minister. Didn't your eldest son-in-law win the top spot in the imperial examination? In my opinion, this marriage between our two families is a match made in heaven. When my son becomes an official in the court, he can help your eldest son-in-law, hahaha."

Oh, what a big tone.

Those who didn't know would have thought his son had already become the prime minister.

Needless to say, this woman, who exudes a sarcastic and mean temperament, is Sun Xiucai's mother.

Her three perspectives are different from those of ordinary people.

No wonder Sun Xiucai was brought up like this by him.

Like mother, like son.

They are all fixed numbers.

Accompanied by Sun Xiucai's mother's shrill laughter, Lu Xiao led Pinlan and Sheng Xiaoliu into the house.

After seeing Lu Xiao appear, his father-in-law Sheng Wei quickly looked over for help.

He really couldn't stand it anymore.

What a shame.

The second wife's old lady was sitting nearby. It was really embarrassing for them to have such an unexpected guest.

But the problem is that he can't just kick people out.

Otherwise, he would appear to be rude.

Years of business have made Sheng Wei appreciate the importance of harmony.

Compared to his status as a businessman, his status as a scholar is indeed higher.

It's not his fault.

However, Lu Xiao felt it was necessary to teach his father-in-law a lesson afterwards.

Being polite is a good thing, and being courteous to others is also a good thing.

But this also depends on the situation.

You can't treat every random person you meet with courtesy, right?

Wouldn't that tire people to death?

As Lu Xiao and the other two entered the inner hall, everyone in the room turned their gazes over.

The same is true for Sun Xiucai and his mother.

After seeing Lu Xiao and Pinlan walking beside Siwu, a hint of greed appeared in Sun Xiucai's eyes.

The girls of the Sheng family are all pretty.

Even Sheng Molan, who lives in the capital, is a first-class beauty.

Speaking of which, the Sheng family does have good genes.

At this time, Sun Xiucai's mother had already stood up and walked directly towards Pinlan.

"Pinlan, you're finally here. I'm so happy to tell you that my son likes you. It's your blessing."

Rage value 30%!

忍!

The guest is a guest, so we should at least consider our father-in-law's face. It is not good to drive him away directly. If the news gets out, people will gossip about him.

But now that Pinlan has his support, she is no longer afraid of Sun Xiucai's fierce mother.

He immediately shouted, "Who would want to marry your son? He's uneducated and often hangs out in brothels. Don't even mention me. Ask around in Yuyang and find out which girl would be so blind as to want to marry your son."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Xiucai's mother immediately became angry and shouted in her shrill voice.

"Don't be so ungrateful, girl. Your Sheng family is just a small merchant family. Logically, you don't even qualify to be my son's concubine. Now my son wants to marry you as his principal wife. This is something you can't pray for in eight lifetimes. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Rage value 70%

Be patient.

I am a scholar, I cannot touch a woman, it is disrespectful.

He could handle it with his hands, but definitely not with his mouth. So Lu Xiao looked directly at Sun Xiucai and spoke in a stern tone.

"Sun Xiucai, are you sure you don't care about your mother?"

Sun Xiucai sat steadily on the chair and said nonchalantly.

"My Song Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. How can I, as a son, control my mother? It seems that your title of top scholar is unworthy of its status."

Two years ago, the two of them had already formed a feud over Sheng Shulan, so Sun Xiucai's attitude was not surprising at all.

But Lu Xiao didn't know whether he was really confused or just pretending to be confused. Did he really think he wouldn't dare to use force?

So you're so reckless?

If this were to happen to an ordinary scholar, it would be really difficult to handle.

Soft tactics are useless against scoundrels.

But using force would damage your reputation if it got out.

But is Lu Xiao an ordinary scholar?

At this moment, he had already decided in his heart that if the Sun family mother and son continued to act like this, he would not be polite.

So he prepared to give Sun Xiucai a final warning.

But just when he was about to speak, Sun Xiucai's mother suddenly set her eyes on Minglan beside her.

Chapter 283 A pile of shit

Excuse me, does Mr. Sun know that his mother is a scoundrel?

The answer is of course yes.

Another question: does Mr. Sun know Lu Xiao's current status and position?

The answer is of course yes.

Sun Xiucai is just stupid, not foolish.

A fool cannot pass the examination to become a scholar.

But among so many talented people in the world, it's normal to have one or two fools.

After all, there are birds in a big forest.

But the problem is, Sun Xiucai clearly knew that Lu Xiao's current status was not something a mere scholar like him could challenge, so why did he allow his mother to do such a thing?

This principle is actually very simple.

Sun Xiucai knew that it was almost impossible to achieve his goal.

Because of Lu Xiao's existence, the Sheng family's status is now different, and it is no longer something a mere scholar like him can control.

To put it bluntly, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.

He was a scholar, and although this was only the lowest rank, it was enough for him to not care about Lu Xiao's status as the top scholar.

Because even though Lu Xiao is now a Beijing official, he has no control over Youyang.
