Chapter 79: Three Jinshi in One Family
Seeing that he was so respected by the candidates, Sheng Hong knew that the "Sheng's Library" was beginning to show its effect. When this group of benefited students entered the court, he and the Sheng family would be stable.

After sending Changbai and Changfeng of the Sheng family to the examination hall, Sheng Hong returned to the Sheng family with his wife and children. This time, the eldest lady Wang Ruofu did not worship ghosts and gods again, but came to Shou'an Hall with a happy face.

"Mother, when we were seeing Changbai and Changfeng off at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall today, many candidates bowed to the officials!"

Looking at the delighted Madam Wang Ruofu, the old lady was also very happy, and then said with a smile, "Your husband is a man of great potential.

From now on, Madam, you will still need help, so please listen to your husband's arrangements!"

"Yes! Mother! My daughter-in-law knows!
In this way, Hualan's marriage is settled!"

"Madam, your husband has already made arrangements for Hualan's marriage.

Don't worry about it anymore!" The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Ah? Really?

Why didn't you tell me before?

"Whose son is this?" Madam Wang Ruofu suddenly burst into a flurry of surprise.

Seeing the eldest lady Wang Ruofu so excited, the old lady did not complain. Instead, she understood the eldest lady's pain. After all, Hualan had been raised in Shou'an Hall for a period of time, and the old lady loved her very much.

"Madam, let your husband take care of this matter!
Anyway, I will never let Hualan suffer any injustice again!
"Huh? Mother is right!" Lady Wang Ruofu said yes, but in fact she was still eager to find Sheng Hong to ask him clearly.

Madam Wang Ruofu returned to Weiruixuan in a hurry and looked at Madam Liu eagerly, "Madam Liu, have you seen the master?"

"My dear Madam, the Master should be in the courtyard of Madam Die and Madam Wei right now!"

"Hey! Now that Ringo Frost is gone, Xiaodie and Wei Xiaoniang have teamed up to compete for favor!"

“Haha, madam, Miss Wei is a well-educated and well-mannered person.

She is incomparable to the vicious woman Ringo Frost from the past!

As for this Die girl, although she is relatively aggressive.

But ever since she gave birth to little brother Chang Rong for the master, her temper has become even more indifferent!" Mother Liu shook her head and smiled bitterly as she spoke fairly.

Madam Wang Ruofu knew what Madam Liu said. Although she was still unable to manage the chores of the Sheng family, she had been very content in recent years.

"Huh! Mama Liu, you're saying that!
Others who don't know would think you're Wei Xiaoniang and Xiaodie's personal maid!" Madam Wang Ruofu said sarcastically as she looked at Madam Liu.

Hearing the sarcasm from Madam Wang Ruofu, Madam Liu always knew Madam Wang Ruofu's character best, so she didn't take it to heart, "Haha, Madam Wang Ruofu, if you have something to ask the master!

I will go to Die Xiaoniang's room and wait for her now!"

"Go! If I don't ask the master about the arrangements for Hualan's marriage today, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

After the results of this imperial examination came out, the Sheng family became completely famous in Tokyo Prefecture. Two Jinshi were admitted at once. Together with Sheng Hong, it can be said that there were three Jinshi in the family.

Sheng Changbai was assigned to the Hanlin Academy, while Sheng Changfeng, whose grades were at the bottom, was assigned to a lower-level county as a magistrate, a great honor for the family. Qi Heng, the young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion, and Gu Tingye, the second son of the Ningyuan Marquis family, were still unsuccessful, so the Sheng family chose to celebrate in a low-key manner.

This is also Sheng Hong's consistent principle, to be high-profile in work and low-key in life, and to be a person who knows when to advance and retreat.

After the imperial examination, the Sheng family, which was already crowded with guests, attracted more candidates from all over the country, all of whom came to thank the Sheng family for the "Sheng's Library".

Seeing so many candidates coming to visit Sheng Hong of the Sheng family, the dignitaries of Tokyo Prefecture were shocked, and then they all asked the reason.

When they learned that it was because the Sheng family had opened the "Sheng's Bookstore", the dignitaries of Tokyo Prefecture sneered in disdain. In their eyes, the public welfare business of the "Sheng's Bookstore" had no "money prospects" at all.

The Sheng family was so popular among students from all over the country that they believed that it was all due to the students' flattery of Sheng Hong. For such a good shop, they would rather open a grain store or trade silk, as that was the way to make real money.

Although one can spend a whole day in "Sheng's Bookstore" for only one penny, few people can actually spend the whole day there. At the end of the day, the actual turnover is still considerable.

This can be considered as small profits but quick turnover in the real world, and there is no problem in ensuring the normal expenses and operations of "Sheng's Bookstore".

After Sheng Hong entered Tokyo, he launched a series of combined punches and finally established a firm foothold in Tokyo.

The Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion is now the most regretful. They regret that they should not have canceled the engagement so quickly. At least they should have waited for a while and observed.

But now their Earl Zhongqin Mansion has completely angered the Sheng family, and the Sheng family is now in its heyday. After just a few years of operation, it has completely established a firm foothold in Tokyo and is no longer the "poor little guy" who just entered Tokyo Prefecture.

Of course, the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion had also thought about completely eliminating the threat of the Sheng family. However, their Earl of Zhongqin Yuan family was originally a fallen noble family. The strength they had was only enough to fool officials from other places. They had no say among the nobles in Tokyo Prefecture.

After teaching Yuan Wenshao of the Yuan family in the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion a lesson, Sheng Hong no longer took the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion seriously and continued to live his own life.

I heard that since the engagement with the Sheng family was broken off, no children from official families have had contact with Yuan Wenshao, which can be regarded as retribution for the Yuan family.

On this day, Sheng Hong received another invitation from Wei Xingshou, but the venue was changed to the famous Fanlou in Tokyo Prefecture.

Seeing the invitation letter in his hand, Sheng Hong also admired Wei Xingshou's persistence, because this was already the ninth invitation letter.

Sheng Hong guessed that his refusal had aroused the rebelliousness of Wei Xingshu, and he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

He couldn't help but think of this Wei Xingshou, who was the most beautiful girl in Tokyo, and the huge figure behind her. Now there was really no need to offend the other party for no reason, so he might as well go over and see what this Wei Xingshou was up to.

Hearing what the servant said, Wei Xingtou suddenly looked surprised and asked, "Really? Master Sheng really agreed to attend the banquet?"

"Yes! Chief Wei! I heard it with my own ears, so it can't be wrong!"

"Great! This Mr. Sheng is so hard to invite!"

"Yes! I have never seen such an unromantic official!" said the servant who delivered the invitation with emotion.

"I just don't know if Mr. Sheng can agree to our request!"

“Oh! I can only try it!
I hope this Mr. Sheng won't let us down!" Wei Xingtou sighed and said with emotion.
