Chapter 925 Sisterly Love
The side hall of Madam Liang's courtyard.
After Chen Tao entered the door, the first thing he saw was Sheng Minglan's unrelated grandmother, Mrs. Sheng. After all, although this Lao Deng was Sheng Hong's aunt, she was not her biological mother.
She looks kind and kind, just like the grandmother of the Jia family, but Jia's mother will definitely not be poisoned by her daughter-in-law.
Chen Tao bowed, then looked at Mrs. Sheng again, and then sat obediently next to Mrs. Liang, acting like a quiet handsome man.
It wasn't his turn to speak now.
Mrs. Liang had now received the authorization from his sweetheart and had full authority to deal with his marriage affairs, so she was not in a hurry and just exchanged pleasantries.
And her attitude is quite high. After all, she is a serious and honorable wife of the Marquis. How can she be compared to the old lady Sheng?
The only identity that Lao Deng has so far is that she is the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Hou Mansion. Ordinary people may look up to this name, but in the eyes of powerful ladies, it means nothing. When you get married, follow your husband. Everyone compares you to your husband, but you compare yourself to your father? Who doesn’t have a great dad?
Jia's mother is the wife of the Duke of the country. When will she use her background as a prince?
Of course, Mrs. Sheng obviously knew this very well, otherwise why would she feel uncomfortable because of Mrs. Liang's high profile? She finally couldn't help it anymore and got down to business:
"Mrs. Liang, the story of my Mo Lan and your Brother Han hugging each other that day has been widely spread. I wonder if the marriage can be decided as soon as possible?"
She is here to propose marriage today. Of course, it can also be said to be a forced marriage. Generally speaking, the man comes to propose marriage.
But it didn't happen. The Liang family seemed to have disappeared from the world collectively. There had been no news for the past half month. It was obvious that they had no interest in her family, Mo Lan.
Aunt Lin had already found someone to spread the news. If it failed, her family would be so embarrassed.
Mrs. Liang did not refuse for the time being. She turned to Chen Tao and smiled: "Han'er, what do you think?"
Chen Tao pondered for a moment and said matter-of-factly:
"The Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and my son is young and ill-informed, so my mother should take care of the important matters of marriage for me. And mother, you have always loved me like a treasure, and you will definitely work hard to find a good partner for me. I have no idea, but It’s up to you, mother.”
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she was naturally not surprised.
She believed that Liang Han personally carried Mo Lan into the carriage that day instead of asking the accompanying maid to help, which meant that Liang Han was not a good person.
But no matter how good he is, he must still be a filial son, and he cannot decide marriage matters on his own.
So, there is nothing wrong with this.
But what Mrs. Liang said next made her very unhappy:
"In this case, I cannot agree to this marriage. I am interested in Minglan, the sixth girl of your house."
Although Mrs. Sheng was mentally prepared before coming over, she was still very angry when she was rejected.
However, no matter how angry she was, she still had to speak kindly. She took a sip of tea, smiled and said calmly:
"Mrs. Liang doesn't know. Mo Lan is also a good daughter. She is good-looking and a good knitting girl. She is also good at poetry and is no worse than Minglan. Besides, she was carried back to the car by Brother Han before, and many people saw her. If you really don't want it, then she will have to be a sister-in-law for the rest of her life, how can you bear it? "
Mrs. Liang chuckled and said, "Of course I can't bear it. Why not let Mo Lan come over to be the main wife and Minglan be the concubine? Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Old Mrs. Sheng cursed in her heart, but she still couldn't lose her composure and used her trump card:
"Although the Sheng family is from a humble family, they will not let their daughters be concubines like the grandma's cousin's family did. I heard from time to time that grandma Liang's cousin is actually pregnant, and now she has just gone abroad to mourn, and it seems that Isn’t it appropriate?”
When Mrs. Liang heard this, her expression suddenly changed and her mind raced.
Just before she opened her mouth, someone Chen took over:
"Your residence is more than half an hour away from my Liang family. It's so far away. The old lady is so smart to know the news in my residence! The boy is not talented, and he also has a pair of ears. He has been out recently. I also heard a piece of news that Mr. Sheng of your mansion My favorite Aunt Lin is Miss Mo Lan’s biological mother, right? It is said that she gave a little maid named Ju Fang to Master Sheng, and Master Sheng was in his prime, but unfortunately she was more than four months pregnant. The month, counting the days, seems to be during the national mourning period.”
At this point, Mrs. Sheng completely ignored the change in her face and smiled at Mrs. Liang, a cheap mother:
"Mom, I am young and ignorant. If the court knew that I had impregnated Chun Ge, would they reprimand me?"
When Mrs. Liang saw Mrs. Sheng looking like she was mourning for her heir, how could she not know that what Chen Tao said was true? He was immediately very proud and said with a sneer:
"You don't know the seriousness of the matter. The imperial court will naturally blame you. They may even terminate your post as a guard. In addition, they will also scold you for your lax discipline. But if it were those imperial officials who messed around, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the case. Will it be a simple reprimand?"
Mrs. Sheng's eyes widened, as if she was going to have a stroke the next moment. After breathing for a while, she recovered, pretending that nothing happened, and said shamelessly:
"Alas, the marriage between our two families really can't happen."
Mrs. Liang nodded disdainfully and was about to order tea to see off the guests when Chen Tao smiled again:
"Why is this so? Mr. Sheng's official reputation has always been excellent. I am afraid that this kind of thing is caused by a subordinate who has been wronged and is talking nonsense outside. How can you say these words easily? I don't believe that Mr. Sheng is such a person anyway. From your house The two sisters, Mo Lan and Ming Lan, must be ladies of great beauty. Although I am not talented, I still yearn for them. Besides, my mother is very fond of Miss Ming Lan, so I asked the old lady to fulfill her wish anyway! "
After saying that, he glanced at Mrs. Liang.
Mrs. Liang thought about it, especially after thinking about some of Minglan's performances, and finally did not refute her son.
Old Mrs. Sheng had no choice but to glare at Chen Tao several times, remained silent for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, Minglan."
Mrs. Liang immediately assisted: "I heard Minglan say that she and Mo Lan have been close sisters since they were young. They once vowed to marry a husband together. Old lady, you have always doted on them, so why not make it happen? "
Chen Tao added: "The nonsense news also said that the four girls in your mansion admired me very much after hearing about my reputation, so after they found out that I accompanied my mother to perform incense, they secretly disguised themselves as maids and slipped out of the door just for the sake of peace. You can meet me to comfort me. How can I live up to my deep love for her? I really hope to marry her."
Mrs. Liang's face turned dark, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
She was not that stupid. After hearing what Chen Tao said, she already understood what happened that day and was furious.
Mrs. Sheng, on the other hand, was completely like a defeated hen, trembling all over, like a mustache who had learned that the front line was unfavorable, and her hands could not help but tremble.
It's a pity she can't commit suicide.
You must return to the Sheng family with a letter of surrender, that is, a letter of appointment.
Of course, they won’t get married as quickly as in the book.
As a dowry, Minglan, although she may be almost fifty years old in two lifetimes, is only a hairdresser in September this year, so she will not be able to enter the family until at least the end of the year or after the new year.
As for the concubine Chun Ge giving birth to a child before the main wife has married? No problem.
As long as the Sheng family doesn't mind, what can others say?
For another example, if you say that the Sheng family kills people casually without caring about human life, then the Yanguan Yushi just pretends that he didn't see it and no one sued him. What can you do to him?
Sheng Minglan just envies her best friend's colleague for using his power to bully the people and please his pregnant best friend. What can you do?
The author of the novel also said that ancient times were not a violent society, and it was normal to beat people to death without being punished, so it was okay for Sheng Minglan to set up a private court, but what about you? I can only join them!
Chen Tao can be an outlaw if necessary.
Liang Siye's courtyard, small study room.
Zheng Yuanyuan, who was probably also a time-travelling girl, looked surprised and said: "Fourth Master! You actually want to marry two daughters of the Sheng family? You, you are not kidding, are you?"
Before that, Chen Tao had deliberately told her part of the story about his meeting with Mrs. Sheng and his engagement with Mo Lan and Ming Lan.
Her reactions also made Chen Tao understand a lot.
He put down the annotations on "Spring and Autumn" and asked calmly:
"Marriage is not a trivial matter, how can it be treated as a joke?"
No joke, isn't the heroine Sheng Minglan coming over?
Yuanyuan's expression suddenly changed, and she asked pretending to be puzzled:
"I heard before that the daughters of those who are officials cannot be concubines. How could they agree to marry off two daughters, one to be your wife and the other to be your aunt?"
She still has bruises on her face, and her serious look is still funny.
Chen Tao chuckled and said: "My mother said that the two girls Sheng were deeply in love with each other. They had vowed to marry the same husband since they were young. And the elders and younger ones are in order. The fourth girl is the main wife and the sixth girl is the concubine. What does this mean? inappropriate?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Ah, this, isn't this right?
Yuanyuan was completely stunned. She took Chen Tao's arm and murmured to herself:
"Impossible, impossible, how is this possible?"
Yes, not only is he a time traveler, but he also knows the plot of "Know or Not". This is really outrageous!
Chen Tao complained in his heart, but smiled and teased on his face: "Of course it's impossible."
Yuanyuan said angrily: "Fourth Master, why did you lie to me? What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Movie Emperor Chen hummed: "It is true that I married two girls Sheng, but not because of their deep relationship as sisters, but because their Sheng family plotted against my Liang family. After I bought you that day, on the way home, I was picked up by a man. Stopped me and asked me for ten liang , and then told me that Miss Sheng Si and her biological mother were inquiring about me and that day when I was accompanying my mother to perform incense, she accidentally fell under the car and asked me to carry her into the car. In full view of everyone, how could I not marry her? ? But what my mother really likes is It's Miss Six. Isn't that strange? The man told me that it was indeed Aunt Lin from the Sheng family who spread the news about me and her daughter in order to force the Liang family to marry her daughter. The family tradition of their Sheng family is not Yes, she is always using ghost tricks. That old lady Sheng was so self-righteous that she actually wanted to use Chun Ge's incident to threaten her mother into submission. Didn't she know that her son also got a maid in the family pregnant during the national mourning? How ridiculous! "
Yuanyuan was dumbfounded. Was it because he bought her that he met the information dealer and changed the plot? This is so fucking outrageous!
She then asked: "Do you, you and Miss Sheng Si really have no affair?"
Chen Tao pretended to be puzzled: "She and I only have one relationship, where did the personal relationship come from?"
Yuanyuan gritted her teeth: "You, you didn't do that to her in the temple?"
This chick has never read the original novel.
Chen Tao smiled in his heart, stretched out his hand to pinch her round face, and asked:
"What's it like being with her in the temple? Don't be so hesitant and secretive. If Caijin sees it, I'll teach you a lesson again."
"It's just an affair."
"Stealing in the temple? Yuanyuan, at such a young age, you actually have such thoughts? Did you hear others talk about it in the brothel? In a pure place of Buddhism, although I don't believe in Buddhism, I am a filial son. My mother went to pray. , but I went to have an affair? Is this what the Son of Man did?”
"..."
Yuanyuan finally understood that the man in the original book did not steal, but only hugged. The plot was adapted in the TV series.
Seeing her sudden look, Chen Tao stroked her head again and educated her:
"Don't say dirty words about cheating outside in the future, otherwise your wife will hear you and kick you out. I won't save you."
‘You will definitely save me! You are just like Jia Baoyu, but better than him. Mrs. Wang doesn't listen to him, but Mrs. Liang is very obedient to you! ’
Yuanyuan was quite happy, but then she became distressed.
If Sheng Minglan were to marry, would she reveal her identity or hide it?
Chen Tao asked again at this time: "Those two girls from the Sheng family, who do you want to follow? I will arrange for you to go when the time comes."
I'm going to...
Yuanyuan's mind was racing, and she realized that she definitely couldn't go with Mo Lan. After all, this villain was really ruthless and unreasonable. He might just mess with her if he saw her unhappy.
But is Minglan okay? Not necessarily!
Chun Ge, Xiuzhu and others are not safe either.
So she tried her best to put on a flattering smile and said:
"Master, you saved me. I just want to follow you from now on."
Chen Tao said, "You, your appearance... I'll think about it."
Do you think I'm ugly? Her face is still swollen, so she really can’t be considered beautiful...
Qiaodou Sack, has this scumbag misunderstood something?
Yuanyuan said angrily: "I don't want to be your aunt! Please show your kindness and let me become a nun! If I pray for you, the Bodhisattva will surely bless your children and grandchildren, and you will become more noble than a prince in the future."
Chen Tao laughed and said: "Let the Bodhisattva protect my hundreds of children and grandchildren? The Bodhisattva must first use the water from the Jade Pure Bottle to make this girl like you grow in my eyes in the future! After all, if there are not more than thirty concubines, the Bodhisattva will Even if you give me all the places to give birth to children, I won’t be able to have hundreds of children like King Wen.”
"Thirty? Scumbag..."
"What the hell?"
"No, it's nothing. I also want to read and write."
Since Minglan was coming, Yuanyuan no longer dared to say more modern words, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.
After all, it's always safer to stay in the dark, no matter what.
"Writing? That's fine. You will be my reading girl from now on. Of course, you can't forget to practice the pipa and sing."
"..."
Yuanyuan is really helpless.
Although I don’t want to learn talents, it is necessary for the long-term plan.
After all, she can't go back! I can only deal with this ancient scumbag, a hypocrite and a snake! (End of chapter)
