Chapter 18 (Please Read on) The Old Lady of the Sheng Family

Hearing the question from Yuan Wenchun, the legitimate son of the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion, Sheng Hong was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Should he tell the truth?

Wei Yuan, the dignified Daizhou Tuanlianshi and the world-famous Yanmen Guardian, his elder sister is just his concubine?

Let's not talk about it for now, even this "brother-in-law" of his has just met Wei Yuan for the first time.

For example, the family has not figured out the matter of Wei Shuyi's charcoal fire. If he is in a hurry to establish a relationship with Wei Yuan, it will be embarrassing.

Minglan on the side responded: "That's my uncle."

Your uncle?

Yuan Wenchun and Gu Tingye looked at each other, both slightly surprised, and the latter asked:

"Is it really your uncle?"

Minglan frowned and said: "How can this be false?"

Sheng Hong's eldest son Sheng Changbai was also very confused. When did his family have a relative who was a Tuanlianshi? Or Minglan's uncle?

Could it be Wei Xiaoniang's brother?

He looked at Sheng Hong puzzledly.

The latter pretended to cough twice and said with a smile: "That Wei Tuanlian is indeed Minglan's uncle. He is indeed in my Sheng family today, and he came to visit his sister."

Gu Tingye heard his father, Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai, mention Wei Yuan many times.

He said that he was a young hero, guarding Yanmen, fighting with the Liao army, and repeatedly making great achievements.

Officials like Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai have great ambitions in their hearts, that is, to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

This is a shame for the Great Zhou, but all young people who have no worries about food and drink basically have this idea.

But they just think about it.

But Wei Yuan, he directly fought the Liao army with real swords and guns.

Even in their opinion, he has already started to practice.

Naturally, they admire him deeply.

"Sir Sheng, I have heard of General Wei for a long time. I wonder if you can introduce General Wei to me?"

Gu Tingye had just offended the Sheng family because of the pot-tossing incident. Logically, he should not have made any requests, but he really wanted to meet Wei Yuan.

If there is a word called idol in this world, then Wei Yuan is the idol of Gu Tingye, Sheng Changbai and others.

So, even Sheng Changbai said:

"Father, I also want to meet my uncle from the Wei family."

Sheng Hong was a little embarrassed, "This"

Yuan Wenchun frowned and said, "Uncle, do you have something to hide? Is it that you don't have a good relationship with General Wei?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong waved his hand and said, "How could it be? After all, that Wei Tuanlian is also a relative of my Sheng family."

Yuan Wenchun took the opportunity to say, "In this case, please trouble uncle to introduce us to him."

Sheng Hong was frowning. Wei Yuan didn't give him a good face just now.

If I take people there without his permission, it would be inappropriate.

But if I send someone to ask, I'm afraid Wei Yuan will not agree to meet these juniors.

Then, it will be my own face that will be damaged.

Pause.

Sheng Hong had to look at Minglan, "Ming girl, is your uncle free?"

If Minglan said no, then the matter would be dropped.

If she said yes, Wei Yuan would not make things too awkward for the sake of his niece and elder sister.

Minglan looked at Gu Tingye, frowned slightly, and then looked at Sheng Changbai,

"Second brother wants to see uncle?"

The latter nodded and said, "Sixth sister, I wonder if Uncle Wei is free now?"

Minglan said, "Since it is the second brother who wants to see uncle, then sister will naturally ask uncle for the second brother."

Sheng Changbai was delighted, "Thank you, sixth sister."

Usually, in this Sheng residence, among Minglan's three sisters and two brothers, Sheng Changbai loves Minglan the most.

Therefore, Sheng Changbai wanted to meet Wei Yuan, and Minglan would naturally help.

On the side, Gu Tingye also said excitedly: "Thank you, little sister."

Minglan curled her lips and said to Sheng Changbai:

"Second brother, come with me. As for the others, whether my uncle can meet them depends on my uncle's opinion."

Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenchun were excited when they heard that there was hope, and they all bowed.

They all went to see Wei Yuan, and Sheng Hong felt that it was time to let Sheng Changfeng meet him.

It was also to let Wei Yuan see the younger generations of the Sheng family.

In addition, it was also thought that Wei Yuan was a relative of the Sheng family after all, and it was necessary to let the two men of the Sheng family get to know him.

When Sheng Changbai and others followed Minglan to Wei Shuyi's yard.

Sheng Hong had already invited the guests to take their seats.

After the arrangements were made, Wang Ruofu stood beside Sheng Hong and asked in a low voice:

"Is Wei Yuan, the younger brother of Wei Xiaoniang, very famous? Why does it seem that even the young master of the Earl's Mansion wants to curry favor with him?"

Sheng Hong also responded in a low voice: "As far as I know, Wei Yuan is a disciple of the Duke of England."

"What?!" Hearing this, Wang Ruofu's eyes widened and blurted out subconsciously.

Sheng Hong pulled her clothes, "You speak more quietly!"

Wang Ruofu looked at the people sitting at the table, smiled awkwardly, and then said in surprise:

"Husband, that's the Duke's Mansion!"

"Is Wei Xiaoniang's younger brother so famous?"

Sheng Hong said in a deep voice: "Okay, after this matter is over, I need to ask you about Wei Xiaoniang."

Wang Ruofu couldn't help but frowned when she heard his unfriendly tone.

Is it related to Wei Shuyi?

What does it have to do with me?

——

At this time, Shou'an Hall.

Sheng Hong's mother, the old lady of the Sheng family, and Xu Changzhi's great-aunt lived there.

Sheng Hualan, who was gentle and beautiful, was smiling and speaking to the old lady Sheng:

"Grandma, good news. Just now, my sixth sister competed with that man in pitching pots and actually won!"

The Yuan family made the marriage proposal for her.

Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "Oh? Miss Ming actually has this ability?"

Sheng Hualan smiled and said: "Who said it wasn't? My granddaughter was also surprised."

After a pause, she said: "Grandma, there is one more thing. I heard that Minglan's uncle, Aunt Wei's younger brother, is here."

Mrs. Wei's younger brother?

Mrs. Sheng said thoughtfully: "The young man from the Wei family hasn't come to our Sheng family for several years. This time he suddenly came, and took advantage of this happy day. Did he encounter any difficulties?"

The old lady knew clearly how Wei Shuyi entered the Sheng Mansion.

It's just that she is too old to ask about these trivial matters at home.

Sheng Hualan shook her head and said, "Grandma, you don't know that the uncle from the Wei family has a great background! He is also very capable!"

"Recently, it is said that a hero appeared in Yanmen, who defeated the Liao army and was highly valued by the government."

"The man is the uncle from the Wei family."

She told the respected old lady Sheng everything she knew, as well as what she had just learned from others.

Hearing this, the old lady was slightly surprised and said, "This brother Yuan is indeed a capable man. It is not easy to fight in the battlefield and gain fame."

Suddenly, she suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Has anything happened to Wei Xiaoniang recently?"

Hualan shook her head in confusion and said, "What could have happened to Aunt Wei?"

Old Lady Sheng took a breath and said, "It's good that nothing happened."

Hualan said, "Changfeng, Changbai and the others have already gone with Minglan to visit Uncle Wei."

"My granddaughter thinks that since Uncle Wei is an elder, I should also go and see him. What do you think, Grandmother?"

Old Lady Sheng said with a smile: "The young man from the Wei family suddenly became rich. In addition to his own ability, he may also have the support of nobles behind him. And he is the younger brother of Wei Xiaoniang. It is reasonable for you younger generations to go and see him."

"However, there is no need to rush. I think that young man Wei has not come to our Sheng family for several years. This time he will definitely stay for a few days. When there is a chance, tell your father to invite young man from the Wei family to a family dinner."

"It will not be too late for you to pay your respects then."

In fact, relatives of concubines are only "servants" in front of a legitimate daughter like Hualan.

For Hualan and other younger generations of the Sheng family, their real uncle and real elder is the younger brother of the legal wife Wang Ruofu.

But with Wei Yuan's ability and background, can he be a servant?

Who dares to treat him as a servant?

Are those one hundred guards here to eat dry food?

Even Hualan, a woman, regarded Wei Yuan as a distinguished guest of the Sheng family after knowing his identity and background!

And all of this was earned by Wei Yuan for Wei Shuyi and her daughter.

After all, if there were no Wei Shuyi and Minglan, what would the Sheng family have to do with him? How could a mere Tongpan be in his eyes?

Then, the knowledgeable old lady was also shocked by Wei Yuan's experience, and murmured to herself:

"Hearing so much from Hualan, if it is all true, then the young man of the Wei family can be called a hero."

"I'm afraid even the sons of the nobles in the capital can't compare to him."
