Speaking of which, Minglan's biological mother Wei Xiaoniang should also be from the side of Sheng Changbai's wife Wang Ruofu.

It was Wang Ruofu who helped Sheng Hong buy the concubine, and he bought Miss Wei into the house just to make Wei Xiaoniang and Lin Jiaoshuang compete for favor.

The result was actually quite successful. After Wei Xiaoniang gave birth to Sheng Minglan, she became pregnant with another child.

It is enough to show that Wei Xiaoniang is quite favored by Sheng Hong.

Lin Zongshuang was so provoked that he started to attack Wei Xiaoniang, which was enough to prove that Wei Xiaoniang was a sufficient threat to Lin Zongshuang.

…

Another half month later, good news came from Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong served as the general magistrate of Yangzhou, and after completing his three-year term, he received a grade of "Excellent" in the evaluation.

If you have sufficient qualifications, excellent political performance, and a strong backing, promotion will naturally come naturally.

Of course, the entire Sheng family was overjoyed when Sheng Hong was promoted. After many years of being outside, Sheng Hong was finally transferred to the central government.

After his family was happy, the first thing Sheng Hong thought of was to thank his background.

Sheng Hong's backstage is Sheng Changbai's uncle's family, the Wang family.

Sheng Hong's maternal grandfather, Wang Ruofu's deceased father, had reached the rank of Grand Master and was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Just hearing this treatment, you should know that the old man stands at the pinnacle of power.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, all fifth-rank officials were considered high-ranking officials, and the old man's official rank reached first-rank officials.

Although he has not been a grand master for a long time, the old man has left behind countless favors and connections.

After Sheng Hong was able to become a Jinshi, he reached this point in just a dozen years, reaching the sixth rank, one step away from being a senior official in Fei Pao.

Of course, it is inseparable from Sheng Hong's methods and abilities. This is fundamental.

But there were many capable people, and Sheng Hong was promoted when his qualifications and political achievements were sufficient.

It is inextricably linked to the Wang family.

It was precisely because Sheng Hong's official career had never left the care of the Wang family that Wang Ruofu had the confidence to be strong in front of Sheng Hong and always wanted to overpower Sheng Hong, thus making Sheng Hong unhappy.

"Changbai, please get ready. We are going back to Tokyo. I am going to take you, your mother and your sisters with me to your uncle's house to say goodbye."

If the Wang family was not Sheng Hong's backer, there was certainly no need for Sheng Hong to go to the Wang family to say goodbye.

"Yes, I'll pack my things when I get back."

Although Sheng Changbai had already warned Wei Xiaoniang, Sheng Changbai still wanted to stay at home in order for 'Sheng Xiaoqi' to be born smoothly, and now he was just trying to deal with Sheng Hong first.

Sheng Hong must not be rejected directly.

For Sheng Hong, if he did not bring all the three children born to Wang Ruofu to the Wang family, it would not be enough to express respect for the Wang family. Sheng Hong knew how to deal with the world.

"Bai'er, why did you fall so ill all of a sudden?" Wang Ruofu came to Sheng Changbai courtyard and said anxiously.

Sheng Hong took advantage of the two days to buy Yangzhou specialties and prepare gifts for the Wang family. Sheng Changbai also thought about it for two days, but still couldn't come up with a good way. In desperation, Sheng Changbai could only use the most annoying trick of "Sick Escape". '.

You can't really be sick, in this era where the mortality rate of colds is not low.

To pretend to be sick and actually get sick is to risk your life.

As an "old Chinese doctor" himself, Sheng Changbai certainly has no shortage of ways to pretend to be sick.

If you use some medicine to make the pulse signal a little weaker, it won't be a big problem.

"Mom, it's all my fault that I fell ill at the wrong time and delayed going to my uncle's house to say goodbye."

Sheng Changbai said apologetically, now is a time to test his acting skills.

"There will be plenty of opportunities when you return to your uncle's house. Now it's better for you to take good care of your health."

Sheng Changbai originally thought that he could just stay at home alone.

Unexpectedly, due to his illness, Wang Ruofu was not ready to return to his parents' home. Wang Ruofu had to stay at home and watch over his son so that he could rest assured.

His wife, children, and anyone with blood ties to the Wang family couldn't go. Sheng Hong went there alone, and the meaning of maintaining emotional contact with the Wang family was of course much different.

Sheng Hong simply changed the time of returning to Wang's house to say goodbye.

When to go to Wang's house depends on when Sheng Changbai recovers from his illness.

Whether you can go to the Wang family now depends on the recovery of Sheng Changbai's condition.

The family's trip was canceled and they all gathered in Sheng Changbai's yard.

Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, Hua Lan, and Ru Lan took turns coming to visit the patient.

As a result, Sheng Changbai was forced to lie on the bed and had to drink some bitter Chinese medicine to replenish qi all day long.

Things went beyond Sheng Changbai's expectations, but the result was not unacceptable.

As long as Sheng Changbai continues to be ill, Sheng Hong will stay at home.
