Chapter 78: Sheng Hong at the peak of his career

Sheng Hong always took the discipline of Molan and other children of the Sheng family as a serious matter, and there was no intimidation in what he said to Molan.

If Molan really chose to threaten the entire Sheng family in that way as in the original drama, Sheng Hong would never compromise.

As for arranging Molan to become a nun or letting her sacrifice her life for justice, it was Sheng Hong's helpless move.

Sheng Hong did not let Molan wait for long before he took his own approach. Not only did he replace Molan's personal maid, he also used the increase in the number of students in the Sheng family's private school as an excuse to let all the daughters of the Sheng family return to the inner house and no longer go to the private school to study.

Seeing Sheng Hong's quick action, Molan realized that Sheng Hong was not joking with her and gradually began to put away her own little thoughts.

The young master Qi Heng was the one who could not accept Sheng Hong's actions the most, because with his unrestrained personality, he actually found Sheng Hong.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly let the sisters of the Sheng family return to the inner house?"

Looking at the "little gangster" in front of him, Sheng Hong wanted to laugh. It seemed that Duke Qi and Princess Pingning protected Qi Heng too strictly, so that he did not experience the hardships he should have experienced and became a little carried away.

"Young Master, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent!

Although the Sheng family is a family of scholars, it is rare for a woman in the family to have read so many books! "

“As you grow older, there are differences between men and women, and that’s something you need to consider!
So the previous study environment is no longer suitable!"

"But...but Tokyo Prefecture has never had such a rule!"

“Haha, this is the Sheng family.

Regardless of whether Tokyo Prefecture has it or not, our Sheng family has this rule anyway!" Seeing that Young Master Qi Heng still wanted to entangle himself, Sheng Hong's tone became a little stiff.

Young Master Qi Heng could still understand the change in Sheng Hong's tone, and then he realized his own recklessness. He bowed to Sheng Hong and left with his servant Buwei.

When he returned to the inner house, he saw Madam Fang handing him an invitation. "Master, is this the invitation sent by Chief Wei?"

"Oh? What invitation?"

"My lord, it seems like you're being invited to a poetry reading!"

"I understand! Mother Fang, please go down!"

"Yes! Master!"

Sheng Hong casually glanced at the invitation in his hand and threw it aside. He had no intention of attending the poetry reading at all.

In the original drama, this Wei Xingshou was actually quite mysterious. She left Tokyo before the two princes rebelled. This is not an ability that an ordinary prostitute possesses.

Although Wei Xingshou and another famous prostitute Yunniang were both very beautiful, Sheng Hong had no intention of making friends with them. He was not a person who thought with his lower body, so it was better not to do anything dangerous.

Sheng Hong was very satisfied with his current official position and was unwilling to struggle any longer. His original intention to go to Yuzhou faded after he was promoted to the position of Dali Temple Minister.

If he could not withstand the impeachment of the nobles last time and was demoted to Yuzhou, it would be a good idea to make friends with the Qianlong Zhao Zongquan and his family in advance.

Now that he has established a firm foothold in Tokyo Prefecture, Sheng Hong's thoughts have also changed.

The poetry meeting organized by Wei Xingshou was very successful, but she was still disappointed when she saw that the new Dali Temple Minister Sheng Hong did not accept the invitation.

"Captain Wei, why do I find you seem a little absent-minded?" Gu Tingye was drinking freely while looking at the beauty in front of him.

"Haha, Second Young Master, I was just thinking that Lord Sheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, did not come to today's poetry gathering! I'm just a little disappointed!" Wei Xingshou explained with a smile.

"Oh? Chief Wei sent an invitation to Lord Sheng?" Gu Tingye was a little surprised.

"delivered!"

"Haha, Chief Wei, you don't know that Lord Sheng would never come to such a place of fireworks!"

"Oh? Why is that?
From what the Second Young Master said, you and this Lord Sheng are quite close friends?"

"To be honest with Chief Wei, I had contact with Lord Sheng when I was in Yangzhou!

He is a completely different type of person from the dignitaries you usually come into contact with! Given my personality, I would feel uncomfortable if I met this Mr. Sheng while I was studying at the Sheng family private school!

"Haha, no way!
Gu Erlang, who is fearless, is actually afraid of Lord Sheng! "

“Haha, this kind of discomfort is hard to describe!

Fortunately, Master Sheng didn’t come today, otherwise I really wouldn’t have had enough fun! "

"Second Young Master, the imperial examination will be held soon.

I wish you success in the imperial examinations and the top prize in the imperial examinations." Wei Xingtou suddenly raised his glass and said with a smile while looking at Gu Tingye in front of him.

"Haha, thanks to Chief Wei for the good words!"

The Sheng family also attaches great importance to this scientific expedition and is full of expectations.

Both Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were very confident about this scientific expedition.

Because of Sheng Hong's strict discipline of Sheng Changfeng, coupled with Lin Qinshuang's sudden death, Sheng Changfeng has matured a lot and is no longer as rebellious as in the original drama.

"Changbai, Changfeng, your father has high expectations for you. I hope you won't let your father down!"

"Father, please don't worry!

Changbai will definitely work hard!" Sheng Changbai looked at his father Sheng Hong in front of him steadily.

"Father, Mother, Changfeng will not let you two down!" Sheng Changfeng also said confidently following his second brother Changbai.

Hearing Sheng Changfeng calling her mother, Madam Wang Ruofu unconsciously revealed a surprised smile, "Changfeng, you must work hard!

Together with your second brother Changbai, let's fight for our Sheng family!"

"Yes! Mother!"

Standing at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, the Sheng family members took turns cheering for Changbai and Changfeng and saying auspicious words.

Suddenly, several candidates who were also taking the imperial examination walked up to Sheng Hong and asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, sir, is this Lord Sheng Hong, the Minister of Justice?"

"Huh? It's Sheng, who are you?"

"Oh! That's great!

It turns out it really is Lord Sheng!

We are students from Yangzhou. We would like to thank Mr. Sheng for opening the "Sheng's Library" for us students!"

Seeing the candidates in front of him bowing respectfully to him, Sheng Hong also felt a surge of pride.

“Everyone is talking too much!

The scientific examination is about to begin, you should hurry into the examination room!
I wish you all success in the imperial examinations and win the first prize."

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng!"

The commotion at the Sheng family attracted the attention of other candidates entering the examination hall. When they heard that it was Sheng Hong, all the candidates who had been to the "Sheng's Library" bowed in the direction of Sheng Hong before entering the examination hall.

Seeing their father Sheng Hong so highly regarded by the examinees, the children of the Sheng family all showed proud expressions, "Changbai, Changfeng, your father has established 'Sheng's Bookstores' in all prefectures and states throughout the Great Zhou for the convenience of the students.

You can spend a whole day in the library for just one penny!"

After hearing the explanation from the eldest lady Wang Ruofu, the children of the Sheng family felt relieved and admired their father Sheng Hong even more.

"From now on, you must learn from your father and bring honor to our Sheng family!"

"Yes! Mother!"
