In the morning, Xiao Yu rode on his horse and brought the guards of the Marquis 'Manor to escort Madam Xu's carriage to Sheng Manor.
"I say, Old Master, I didn't expect that our Sheng family has such a noble relative! Hehehehe!" Madam Wang stood beside Sheng Hong and said.
"Look at you. Are you our relative? That's the old lady's relative!" Sheng Hong looked at Wang and said.
"Aren't the old lady's relatives our relatives?”Wang said,
"Humph! I can't be bothered with you. Talk less later, lest you lose your manners.”
"Father, the carriage of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is here.”Sheng Changbai saw a group of people coming over not far away and reminded his bickering parents.
Xiao Yu grabbed the reins in front of Sheng Manor's door and dismounted. He threw the reins to a guard who came over and came in front of Sheng Hong, cupping his fists!
"Sorry to disturb Master Sheng!"
"No need to disturb! I won't disturb you!" Sheng Hong cupped his fists in return.
After Xiao Yu and Sheng Hong saw each other, they ran to the carriage and helped Xu down.
"This must be Cousin Sheng!”Madam Xu came in front of Sheng Hong and bowed slightly.
"How dare you! I am Sheng Hong. Greetings, Lady Xiao.”Sheng Hong cupped his fists and bowed.
"Haha! Cousin Sheng, don't treat me like an outsider!"
"Haha! Oh! This is my wife, and this is my son, Changbai!”Sheng Hao introduced,
"Greetings, Madam Xiao!" Madam Wang said.
"Greetings, Madam Xiao!" Sheng Changbai cupped his fists and bowed.
"Hehehe! You guys! Why don't we go and see Aunt first?" Madam Xu said helplessly.
"Alright! Alright! Madam Xiao, please!"
Under Sheng Hong's guidance, the group passed through the garden and arrived at the Longevity Peace Hall where Old Lady Sheng lived. When she entered the main hall, she saw an old lady sitting in the middle. Madam Xu walked a few steps forward and greeted the old lady.
"Ying Er pays her respects to Aunt."
"Ying Er? Come, come! Let this old woman take a look!" Old Lady Sheng waved at him.
Madam Xu walked to the old lady and sat beside her.
"Yo! Yo! Yo! Ying Er! Hahaha! When I got married, you still had two pigtails and were only this tall.。”the old lady said with a smile.
"That's right! Aunt!" Madam Xu also happily replied. At the same time, she looked at Xiao Yu and said,"Sigh! I say, you little rascal, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and greet me.”
"Xiao Yu, greet me and wish me a happy life!”Xiao Yu stepped forward, lifted his clothes, and stepped forward. He knelt on one knee and cupped his fists.
"Good! Good! Good! This young man is so energetic! Get up! Sit! Sit down! Sit down!" Old Lady Sheng said happily and turned to Madam Xu.
"Aunt! This is my good-for-nothing three kids.”Madam Xu said in disdain,
"Haha! This is the head of the Sheng family." Old Lady Sheng said.
"I saw you at the door just now! Cough! Sheng Da was treating her as an outsider! You don't want to acknowledge me as your cousin!" Madam Xu said,
"Haha! Old Master, this is my niece, your cousin. How can you not recognize her?”
"Yes, sir! Yes! Mother! It's my fault." Sheng Hong apologized to the old lady and bowed to Madam Xu."Cousin Xu!"
"That's right! Cousin, cousin-in-law!" Madam Xu greeted Sheng Hong and Wang again.
"Let the children come out and get to know each other.”The old lady looked at Madam Wang and said.
"Sigh!" Madam Wang replied happily and went out. She began to plan how to make Rulan dress more beautiful.
Thus, in the hall, Old Lady and Madam Xu chatted about their daily life. Sheng Hong sat there with a smile on his face, while Sheng Changbai watched Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu saw Sheng Changbai looking at him, he gently walked to Sheng Changbai's side.
"Is there something wrong with me?”
"No, I'm just curious. You seem to have a unique aura.”
"Is that so? Why don't I think so?"
"This is what it means to be involved in the game. I can't really describe this temperament. I just feel that you look like a scholar at first glance, but when I look at you again, you don't seem to be.”
"Hahaha! I've been training in the army since I was thirteen and have experienced at least a hundred battles.”
"What? It turns out that you've been on a battle formation before.”
"Haha! This was nothing. Calling it a battle formation was an exaggeration. It was just a small conflict. It was a chaotic battle between thousands or hundreds of people.”
"That's already very impressive. I admire those soldiers who fight for the country the most.”Sheng Changbai cupped his fists to Xiao Yu and said,
"Hahaha! Don't you scholars look down on us martial artists?”
"This is the idea of those pedantic scholars. The so-called Six Arts of a Gentleman also wants us to be able to govern the army and calm the people.”
"Hahaha! Brother Changbai, your understanding is very unique!”
"Haha!"
At this moment, Sheng Changfeng, Sheng Molan, Sheng Rulan, and Sheng Minglan entered the hall under the lead of Madam Wang. They first greeted the Old Lady, then Sheng Hong and Madam Xu. Madam Xu smiled and gave each of them a purse. At the same time, she let Xiao Yu get to know them, especially the three Lan.
After the ceremony, the four of them stood at the side of the Wang family and looked down. The Wang family also smiled and accompanied them like Sheng Hong, occasionally interrupting.
Xiao Yu's eyes widened when he saw Sheng Minglan. Sheng Minglan was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the moment, but she still had a standard steamed bun face. She was very cute. Xiao Yu believed that when she grew up, she would gradually become the face in his memory.
"Eh? Brother Changbai, are these the three orchids in your family?”Xiao Yu asked Sheng Changbai softly.
"That's right! Isn't she beautiful?" Sheng Changbai revealed a rare smug expression.
"Yes! It's alright!" Xiao Yu deliberately said,
"What is it? It was alright? Are you blind?" Sheng Changbai said unhappily,
"Hehehe!" Xiao Yu chuckled and suddenly thought of something, asking,""Brother Changbai, do you know the second young master of the Marquis Ningyuan's residence, Gu Tingye?”
"Gu Tingye! Sigh! It was a pity that he had passed away many years ago!”When Sheng Changbai heard this name, he said with a regretful expression.
"What? Dead? What's going on?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise,
"That year, when we were still in Yangzhou, and my father was still a general judge, the Yuan family of the Palace of the Earl of Zhongqin came to marry my elder sister Hua Lan. Gu Tingye, who was disguised as Bai Ye, was also in the betrothal team. The two of us hit it off and met for a drink on the lake. In the end, for some reason, a group of assassins rushed out to kill him, and Gu Tingye was killed just like that.”Sheng Changbai recalled.
"This, there can't be a mistake, right?" Xiao Yu asked uncertainly.
"How could there be a mistake? Although he fell into the lake at that time, his body was later salvaged. It was indeed him.”Sheng Changbai said with certainty,
Xiao Yu's mouth twitched. What was going on? Could it be that his arrival had changed his fate, or was it the system's doing?
Xiao Yu only knew that the Marquis of Zhenyuan's family did not appear in the original drama series. However, that was a drama series after all, and they were in the real world now.
There would be many NPCs that had never appeared, and there would be many variables. However, Xiao Yu would not think too much about it if he could not figure it out. At least, this would be more beneficial to him. He would not have to think about how to snatch Sheng Minglan from him.
Madam Xu and Xiao Yu left after lunch. Before they left, Xiao Yu invited Sheng Changbai to visit his house when he was free. Sheng Changbai accepted, saying that he would visit the house to ask for mercy when he was free.
In the carriage!
"Son! What do you think of the three Lans?”Madam Xu asked Xiao Yu, who was unwilling to sit in the carriage.
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiao Yu said perfunctorily with an unhappy face,
"Is that so? Then which one do you like? I think that Fourth Young Lady is the most iconic! What do you think?"
" His eyes are flickering and his face is full of arrogance. He's not a good match. I don't like him."
"Then what about Fifth Young Lady? She's the Di daughter!"
"She looks like an unruly lady!"
"That's true. When she marries him, she won't be able to take care of her husband and raise children. Then there was only the Sixth Young Lady left. She had been raised in her aunt's courtyard since she was young, so she should be a good one, right? It's just that you're a little young and haven't reached adulthood yet. Why don't I find you another family?”
"No need. It's just that Sixth Young Lady Sheng Minglan. It's fine if she grows a few more years. I'm only sixteen, so I haven't had a coronation ceremony.”Xiao Yu said without hesitation,
"Yo! Hahaha! You brat, you took a fancy to it just like that!" Xu shi looked at Xiao Yu and said,
"Yes! If I like her, I'll marry her. I won't marry anyone else.”Xiao Yu simply said,
"Whoa! Whoosh! Whoosh! It's rare for my son to ask, so I'll help you. She's the one. This Sixth Young Lady of the Sheng family is your wife. I'll go and tell Aunt in a few days…" Madam Xu said happily.
Xiao Yu's forehead was full of black lines. Didn't you ask me to come and see it? How did it become helping me?
Sheng Minglan was chatting with the old lady in the warm pavilion of the Peaceful Longevity Hall.
"Ming Ya 'er! What do you think of Xiao Yu?" The old lady said with a smile in her eyes.
"Very good! It's just that I'm looking at him with fear in my eyes!”Sheng Minglan recalled the way Xiao Yu looked at her and shuddered.
"That's because he grew up in the army and looked at people with ruthlessness. If he were to marry you, would you be willing?”
"What? this... this... Aiya! Grandmother! Why did you say that? What did you mean by asking him to marry me? Didn't Lady Xiao come to see you today?”Sheng Minglan said coquettishly beside the old lady.
"Hehehe! You little girl, it's true that I'm looking for a wife for her three kids. Otherwise, why do you think she brought Xiao Yu along!”
"But... But... After all, he was the Di son of the Marquisdom. Even if he wanted to marry, he would marry Fifth Sister! I... I..." Sheng Minglan whispered,
"Hehehe! I don't think so. You didn't notice the way Xiao Yu looked at you. Let me ask you, if their family comes to propose marriage, are you willing? If not, Grandmother will return it to you. Although they are the family of marquises, it's not a big deal to have your niece.”The old lady said seriously,
"This... This was…It was said that Old Marquis Xiao only had Lady Xiao as his wife and had never taken a concubine! I wonder if Young Master Xiao San will…" Sheng Minglan looked at her grandmother and said,
"Alright, Grandmother knows what you are thinking. Let Grandmother find someone to ask around. Ming Ya, Grandmother will definitely find a good marriage for you.”The old lady pulled Sheng Minglan into her arms and stroked her hair.""Speaking of which, the family background of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is considered simple. Marquis Xiao has never taken a concubine, and his eldest son is married. In the northwest, his second daughter is also married. If you marry him, even if Xiao Sanlang takes a concubine in the future, Ying Er will help you out on my account.”
"Yes! Ming Lan knows Grandmother's thoughts. Grandmother will make the decision. Ming Lan will listen to you.”Sheng Minglan said obediently.
