The next morning, Yuan Wenshu went to the Sheng family with gifts. After arriving, he was his own family, so only Sheng Changbai greeted him at the door.

"Haha, Changbai, you have gained a lot of weight after not seeing each other for many days. You have to pay attention to it. After all, you will get married after the New Year."

"You and I don't look outstanding, isn't this fatter than that?" Yuan Wenshu joked.

"Go to yours, you will make fun of me. I know you are busy, but don't make fun of me. Go away, my father is still waiting for you?" Sheng Changbai said helplessly.

After entering the mansion, he went straight to the front hall to meet Sheng Hong. After arriving, he first greeted him and sat down, and started chatting.

"Sanlang, how have you been in the past few days?" Sheng Hong asked.

Yuan Wenshu responded normally, but he knew that Sheng Hong's purpose today was to remind him that after the elderly, Changbai would go to Jiangning to welcome the bride.

Yuan Wenshu spoke first: "When will Changbai plan to set off after the New Year?"

"I plan to set off after the first month of the year. When I arrive in Jiangning, it should be the end of February. I will stay there for a few days. I guess I will be able to return to Beijing in early March." Sheng Changbai said

"Okay, I will send my personal soldiers to accompany you by then. I have already discussed with Ancheng Hou Li Ji. He has already gone to Jiangnan before. When he is about to set off, I will ask Mr. Li to ask Jiangnan wherever he is there to ensure that everything is foolproof."

After that, he was polite and the main thing was over. Yuan Wenshu was feeling like he was in a pin and needle. He wanted to meet Minglan.

After all, I miss you so much after missing for many days. Isn’t there such a saying? A small separation is better than a newlywed. Yuan Wenshu feels that time has passed so long.

At this time, Shou'antang, Minglan and her two sisters are here. On weekdays, Molan and Rulan would not come to Shou'antang if they have nothing to do.

Is this the Chinese New Year now? So today we are all here, and they are chatting. At this time, the nanny next to Mrs. Sheng came in.

He walked up to the old lady Sheng and said, "The sixth aunt is here and is talking to the master in the front hall. The eldest lady comes to ask, when will we start the meal?"

When Old Lady Sheng heard this, she looked at her three granddaughters and said, "Are you hungry?"

Minglan and the other two didn't say anything, but who was Mrs. Sheng? She said directly: "Then let's have a meal."

At this time, Dongrong came in on Yuan Wenshu, which was similar because it was the reason for the Chinese New Year.

This time, the people were the most complete, including the old lady and Lin Qinshuang, but there was a layer of separation.

So men and women sit separately, because there is a embarrassed person like Yuan Wenshu who is neither inside nor outside on this table.

In fact, even if they get married, Lin Qinshuang is not qualified to have dinner with the sons-in-law of the Sheng family at such a banquet. Of course, if it is Molan's husband, it would be fine.

This is the status of a concubine, which is very lowly. Even at home, she is favored by the lord, and she can't do anything to favor her concubine and destroy her wife.

Moreover, once the news of favoring concubines and destroying their wives is spread, the reputation of the lord of the family will inevitably be damaged, because in the Great Wei Dynasty, the status of the Zhengtou Lady is very high.

They can decide the quality of life of their concubines at home, and they have the right to sell their concubines. It can be said that the matter of the inner house is decided by the wife of Zhengtou.

They have absolute power in the inner house because the male leads to the outer and female leads to the inner house, unless the mother-in-law is still there like the Sheng family.

In addition, the Lord will not interfere too much in the inner sect, because too much internship will cause discussion among colleagues, and the couple will be ridiculed by the outside world.

Moreover, their dowry is their own disposal. Once a man spends his wife's dowry, you will never be able to raise your head in the circle. This is a very embarrassing thing.

After the family sat down, they started to eat and didn't say anything during the meal, because after all, there were many rules for the literati family.

If this were placed in the Yuan family, there would be no such rules. Do you care whether he talks or not? Yes, he doesn't know. Anyway, no one cares about him when he has been having dinner since he was a child.

After a while, the meal was finally over, and everyone had to go back to their yard to rest for a while. Yuan Wenshu finally was able to get along with Minglan alone.

When he arrived at Mucangzhai, Yuan Wenshu could no longer bear it, but he didn't go too far. He kissed him for a while and let Minglan go.

Because I have to get together after dinner, I will let the rest of the Sheng family see it, which is not good for Minglan.

After Minglan calmed down, Yuan Wenshu said, "Madam, you miss me to death. If this wasn't the first time I attended the ceremonial ceremony, I wouldn't have to prepare so much?"

"But next time it's good. I'll have experience with your official next time. Don't be so stupid to prepare."

"By the way, madam, my friend from the northwest is here. I plan to invite them to have some fun." Yuan Wenshu said in a little embarrassed manner.

"What's that? In your heart, is it that kind of woman who doesn't know the general? Can I still stop you?" Minglan said speechlessly.

"No, madam, it's mainly because I'm a little special to go to this place. I'm afraid you'll think too much, so..."

Minglan is a very smart person. She heard something wrong from Yuan Wenshu's words. She probably already knew where Yuan Wenshu was going.

Minglan's heart is very complicated now. She is a little angry and moved. She is angry because Yuan Wenshu is going to that kind of place.

And the touch was because Yuan Wenshu chose to tell himself in advance that he should know that this kind of thing is very normal in this era.

Those literati and scholars also wrote a lot of poems with this, but then again, who would like to linger in the Qinlou and Chuguan?

"If you want to go, don't ask me." Minglan said last.

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshu knew that he could not tease his wife anymore, so he quickly said, "Look at you, you're still angry, haha, don't worry, if I don't go, they will go."

After saying that, he also stepped forward and hugged Minglan. After hearing Yuan Wenshu's words, Minglan was both ashamed and angry. So he struggled in Yuan Wenshu's arms, but how could Yuan Wenshu let her go?

"Okay, okay, madam, don't be angry. I'm teasing you, it's all my fault. In this way, I'll punish me to kiss you."

After saying that, they started without caring about Minglan's willingness or not. After getting better, Minglan forgot to struggle. If Xiaotao hadn't broke in, they wouldn't have separated.

In fact, Xiaotao came in and it was nothing. She just passed on a message and Madam Wang talked to the three girls for a while.

This kind of occasion is not suitable for Yuan Wenshu to appear again, so he went out of Mu Cangzhai to find Changbai.

When I arrived at Changbai, I found that he was reading a book, so Yuan Wenshu said, "I said to Changbai, do you read a book too during the New Year?"

When Changbai saw Yuan Wenshu coming, he knew that he could not read the book anymore, so he said to Yuan Wenshu: "I said Sanlang, if you don't go with Liu Sister at this time, why did you come to me?"

"Hey, don't mention it. If my mother-in-law hadn't sent someone to send a message and said she wanted to talk to your three sisters, I wouldn't have come to you." Yuan Wenshu said helplessly.
