"I was just saying that out of anger, you don't understand, right?"

Sheng Quan has a headache. His wife's personality is like a powder keg, she will explode at any moment.

Sheng Quan hurriedly explained, "Listen carefully to me. That child is more than just a top scorer in the imperial examination. He has already caught the eye of the government, and they think very highly of him."

The word "official" still has enough deterrent power.

Madam Wang instantly quieted down, glanced around guiltily, and then asked in a low voice.

"What? He caught the emperor's eye? How is that possible? Hasn't he been in Youyang since he was a child?"

In Sheng Wei's letter, he described Lu Xiao's details, including his family background.

Sheng Quan then said, "It's all fate. Some people are just better off than others. Half a month ago, Lord Xu, who presided over the Suzhou Prefecture provincial examination, returned to Beijing. He brought back a student's exam paper from Suzhou and presented it to the emperor."

"After the emperor reviewed the exam paper, he was extremely pleased and shared it with all the officials during the morning court session. I was only lucky enough to glance at it and read a portion of it. The person who wrote that paper is definitely a top scorer. This is the emperor's personal assessment."

When saying these words, Sheng Quan's tone was full of envy.

It is entirely foreseeable that as long as the candidate performs normally in the imperial examination next year, his name will definitely not be low.

The four words "Simplicity in the Emperor's Heart" are more important than any background to the officials in the court.

Although his career as an official was not bad, it was far inferior to these four words.

This time, Madam Wang finally understood.

"Are you saying that the person who wrote that paper is this kid named Lu?"

Sheng Quan nodded. "Indeed, when I heard his name in the court, I was stunned. I thought I had misheard. That child has caught the emperor's eye now, and his future achievements are definitely limitless. He is currently in a low position. If we don't make a good friend of him, we may not have the opportunity to make friends with him in the future."

At the end, Sheng Quan shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity! He's my brother's son-in-law, not mine. My brother's luck is truly enviable!"

After hearing this, Madam Wang's eyes turned and she immediately said:

"No, we can find a way."

Sheng Quan immediately guessed what his wife was thinking.

"Don't be ridiculous. I, Sheng Quan's daughter, will never marry someone else as a concubine, even if I'm a concubine. You don't want face, but I do."

It is a shame to let your own child become someone else's concubine.

This is especially true for upright officials like Sheng Quan.

Madam Wang is slow to react in other areas, but seems to be quite gifted in this one.

"Listen to me, the eldest daughter has been married to that boy for over a year, and they still don't have a child. I suspect there might be something wrong with her. We can marry her off first. If she still can't have a child in a few years, then we'll have a chance. Whether we marry Minglan or Molan to him, we can both become his legal wife. Who would dare to say he's not our son-in-law then?"

The abacus beads are about to hit my face.

The Sheng family now has only three unmarried daughters.

The second daughter is Sheng Rulan, the fourth daughter is Sheng Molan, and the sixth daughter is Sheng Minglan.

She just mentioned the two illegitimate daughters.

Even a blind man can see what the plan is.

Everyone in the Sheng family knew that although Sheng Minglan was born out of wedlock, she was very much loved by Old Madam Sheng.

Therefore, Sheng Quan and Madam Wang had no say in Sheng Minglan's marriage; only Old Madam Sheng could make the final decision.

Putting aside the legitimate daughter Sheng Rulan, the only suitable person for marriage is the fourth daughter Sheng Molan.

But Madam Wang is not doing this for Sheng Molan's own good.

Sheng Molan was born to Sheng Quan's concubine Lin Qinshuang.

Lin Qinshuang is a master of domestic fighting and is very skilled in vying for favor and jealousy. She has been bewitching Sheng Quan for many years.

Madam Wang had suffered so much at her hands.

So she hated Lin Qinshuang very much.

Then an idea struck me, and I thought of letting her daughter become someone's concubine.

Even if it's only for a few years, it's still a way to vent my anger.

However, Madam Wang didn't know that the reason Lu Xiao and Sheng Shulan hadn't had a child was simply because Lu Xiao felt it wasn't the right time.

So I didn't think about it.

It's not that it can't be born.

In addition, even if Sheng Quan really listened to his advice, it would depend on whether Lu Xiao himself was willing to do so.

Among the girls in the Sheng family's main house, Lu Xiao's favorite is the sixth daughter, Sheng Minglan.

He had no good feelings towards Sheng Molan at all.

Whoever marries her will definitely have unrest in his family in the future.

After hearing what Madam Wang said, Sheng Quan actually thought for a moment.

It seems like I really got a little excited.

But he also knew the situation at home.

If I were to marry, I could only marry Sheng Molan.

He was reluctant to give up on this aspect.

In the Sheng family, the treatment of the illegitimate daughter Sheng Molan was no less than that of the legitimate daughter Sheng Rulan.

This shows how much he doted on this concubine.

After thinking for a moment, Sheng Quan finally shook his head and gave up the idea.

"Stop giving me such bad advice. How can you be a mistress like that? If the news gets out, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

But Sheng Quan didn't know that once some things come to mind, they will remain buried in the heart forever.

As long as there is a chance, it will surely take root and sprout again in the future.

Madam Wang turned away angrily, no longer paying any attention to Sheng Quan.

Chapter 45 Visiting the Sheng Family

The next day, the Qing Dynasty paid $200 million. The next morning, the 28th was like a feast.

Jiying Lane.

Sheng Quan and his family were waiting at the door.

Last night, Lu Xiao had someone send a message to the Sheng family in advance, saying that he would come to visit early this morning.

For this reason, Sheng Quan specially asked the court for a day off.

Among those waiting, besides him and Madam Wang, there were Sheng Quan's two sons and three daughters.

It can be said that the whole family went out, which shows how much he values ​​Lu Xiao.

In the distance, at the entrance of Jiying Lane, a carriage slowly approached.

Finally, it stopped at the gate of Sheng Mansion.

A number of servants followed the carriage, each holding a heavy gift box.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, a man with an imposing manner and a scholarly air got out first.

The Sheng family immediately surrounded the door to greet them.

Seeing the Sheng Quan couple walking in front, Lu Xiao raised his hand and saluted.

"Nephew Lu Xiao, greetings to uncle and aunt!"

Sheng Quan beamed and said cordially, "You must be Tuizhi, you're truly a handsome man. No need for formalities. We're all family, just treat it like you're back home."

Behind him, Sheng Quan's children also looked at Lu Xiao curiously.

The second daughter, Sheng Rulan, whispered to Sheng Changbai beside her.

"Second brother, I didn't expect my cousin's husband to be so handsome. Not to mention you, even Young Master Qi can't compare to him!"

Sheng Rulan's eyes sparkled with a strange light.

Girls of her age care most about a man's appearance.

Sheng Changbai glanced at his sister speechlessly.

"What do you mean by 'Don't say it was me'? Is it that in your heart, Second Brother is the ugliest?"

Sheng Rulan stuck out her tongue slightly, then said, "No, at least you're prettier than Third Brother."

On the other side, Sheng Changfeng rolled his eyes in anger after hearing this.

As for Sheng Molan and Sheng Minglan, their attention was now focused on Lu Xiao.

"She's really pretty, but it's a pity she's already married."

Under Lin Qinshuang's guidance, Sheng Molan is very realistic, but also very short-sighted.

In her opinion, being handsome is not enough to make a living.

Not to mention that Lu Xiao is married now, even if he wasn't married she wouldn't look down on him.

He's just a juren, even if he's the first place in the imperial examination, what good is that?

Even scholars from humble backgrounds were not in her eyes.

The husband she would seek in the future must be the legitimate son of a wealthy and powerful family.

Sheng Minglan had no other thoughts on her mind, she simply saw something beautiful and took a few more glances.

At this moment, the carriage curtain was opened again, and Sheng Shulan came out from inside.

Lu Xiao turned around and carefully helped Sheng Shulan down from the carriage.

There was a doting smile on his face.

This time when she came to Bianliang, Sheng Shulan had suffered a lot.

No one expected that she would get seasick.

It's really incredible.

Although I had a good night's rest last night, my physical condition is still not very good.

That's why Lu Xiao was so cautious.

But others don't know this.

If this were done to someone else, it would be seen as Lu Xiao and his love display.

"Sister Shulan and her husband seem so loving."

Sheng Rulan said softly.

Sheng Minglan couldn't help but nodded when she heard this.

Thinking about my own experience, my eyes were filled with envy.

If she finds a husband in the future who can love and care for her like this, that would be great.

"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"

After getting off the car, Sheng Shulan immediately saluted Sheng Quan and his wife.

"Haha, it's been quite a while. I remember the last time I went back to Youyang was seven or eight years ago. In the blink of an eye, you kids have all grown up. How's your family been all these years?"

Sheng Shulan immediately replied, "Uncle, everything is fine at home, but my father and grandmother miss you and your family very much."

The old lady from the second branch of the Sheng family and the old lady from the first branch of the Sheng family were best friends when they were young.

The relationship is very good.

It is precisely because of this reason that the relationship between the two families has remained unchanged over the years.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my eldest son Changbai, and this is..."

Sheng Quan called his children over and introduced them to him.
