The old lady did not speak immediately, but instead looked at him with a very strange look.

After a while, when Sheng Wei was feeling uncomfortable all over, the old lady turned her head slowly and said quietly: "What?"

"You... regret it?"

The sound is not loud, but the meaning inside is hard to say.

"Mom? You..."

"What are you saying?"

Sheng Wei's face turned pale, and his head was also anxious and sweating a little.

"What? Isn't it?"

The old lady leaned on a crutch and knocked heavily on the ground, and said calmly: "At that time, I didn't agree with this marriage!"

"But it was you couple who insisted that the Sun family was a good match, and then Sun Xiucai was also a talented person and would have a great future in the future!"

"But what about now?"

The old lady sneered, and her words were like a knife, and she penetrated hard towards Sheng Wei.

"Why do you regret it again?"

"mother……"

Sheng Wei was speechless and had nothing to deal with.

After all, what the old lady said is indeed true.

...

Sheng Changquan did not delay for long, but asked Xiaotao to go back to Xifu first to bring the medicine box he left in the old house. He was riding a carriage with Pinlan and Minglan to go to Shulan's in-laws' house and Sun's house.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

“…”

Because the carriages at this time are made of wooden wheels, and there is no spring to absorb shock. In addition, the roads in Youyang City are not as spacious and flat as those in Bianliang, so it is inevitable that they will shake and be quiet when rushing the car.

"Sister Pinlan, what kind of family is the Sun family? And, what are the temperaments of their family?"

In the car, Pinlan and Minglan sat on one side, leaning against each other, looking extremely intimate, while Sheng Changquan sat on the other side, closing his eyes to rest.

However, because the next thing might be to target the Sun family, he thought of a way to the Sun family, and asked tentatively, trying to learn more from Pinlan that he had never known before.

Because Minglan had not explained the situation of the Sun family in detail to him, Sheng Changquan wanted to learn more about Pinlan.

"Sun Family?"

When he heard Sheng Changquan ask about this, Pinlan's originally happy face suddenly became gloomy, and then a look of obvious disgust appeared on her face.

"The Sun family is just a dilapidated house!"

"oh?"

Sheng Changquan pretended not to know, but said in surprise: "Sister Pinlan, what do you mean?"

Pinlan hesitated for a moment, as if she felt that something was not good to say, but she thought again that even if she didn't say it now, it would be difficult for Sheng Changquan to hide it after he had been in contact with the other party for a long time in the future.

Therefore, Pinlan paused for a moment and said bluntly: "Brother Changquan, I'll just say something!"

"Yeah, you said!"

Pinlan glanced at Minglan beside him and curled her lips: "Actually, your sister knows it too, then the Sun family is just a pickled thing!"

"Ah, Sister Pinlan!"

Minglan angrily pushed Pinlan, and there was a hint of anger in her words, as if she was disgusting her swear words and not as decent as her daughter's family.

"Oh, it's okay!"

Pinlan shook her head, but she didn't take her own swear words seriously. She just looked at Sheng Changquan opposite and continued to explain: "Brother Changquan, you don't know!"

"Actually, if the Sun family had not been married to my sister and received my dowry, his family might not have been able to eat enough now!"

"What?"

Sheng Changquan is really not very clear about this.

Although he knew that the Sun family was not very wealthy, he never thought that their family would be so miserable!

"Didn't this say that the Sun family has produced a scholar?"

"How come you can't even eat?"

Sheng Changquan was really a little confused: "Can he open a private school or find a boss to teach students to provide his own life needs?"

In this dynasty, although scholars had some privileges in their fame, they were more reflected in their political status and did not have much benefit in money.

Of course, the court will also attach great importance to the best group of scholars, but apart from these people, the rest of them have no preferential treatment. If you want to gain wealth, you can only continue to take the exam and get the position of Juren.

Therefore, when some poor scholars cannot get the ceremonies issued by the court, they often go to wealthy people's homes to serve as seats in exchange for their lives by educating the children of the other tribes.

Generally speaking, those rich and powerful families will also treat such Mr. Xixi very favorably. After all, in addition to the status of the scholar himself, it is inevitable that there will be some investment.

Who knows if there will be one or two people in this group who can become Juren, but once they become Juren, the situation will be very different.

"Oh!"

After hearing this, Pinlan shook her head and sneered!

"It's not that I'm talking badly, but that Xiucai Sun is really unable to support the wall!"

Although his sister Shulan has married Sun Zhigao, Pinlan rarely calls his brother-in-law, except in person.

After all, there was nothing we could do at that time. Even if she didn't like it, she had to consider her sister's situation.

However, in private, Pinlan was extremely disgusted with the other party and was not willing to have any connection with him.

At this time, Minglan was sitting quietly aside, without saying anything, just listening to Pinlan keep complaining.

"Sun Zhigao, to put it nicely, is a scholar, but in fact the other party is just a rogue! A rogue!"

"Not only is he very ambitious and talented, but he is also extremely characterful!"

Pinlan frowned and her face looked very ugly!

"Speaking of this, Minglan may know who Sun Zhigao is, but you definitely don't know about Changquan's brother."

Pinlan moved on the brocade mat in the carriage and changed her sitting position. She was unconsciously kneading a handkerchief, as if she regarded it as her "incompetent brother-in-law" - Sun Zhigao.

While ravaging the veil in her hand, she said, "Sun Zhigao was not bad at the beginning. He was studying at the age of six and at the age of eleven, he successfully passed the county and government exams, and passed the Tongsheng exam."

"And, when he was twelve years old, he didn't know what luck he had, and he successfully passed the scholar exam."

Pinlan began to briefly describe Sun Zhigao's life and explained the specific information of the Sun family to Sheng Changquan.

"But, after Sun Zhi graduated from high school, he no longer had the intention of studying. Throughout his day, he either drank and had fun with a group of friends, or searched for some so-called "principals of literary circles" to write poetry and essays everywhere, hoping to make a name for himself!"

"But!"

As soon as Pinlan changed his voice, he nakedly opened the ugly faces of the "principals of literary world": "Those so-called 'principals of literary world' are just some liars who eat and drink!"

"I'm not a senior celebrity at all!"

Speaking of this, Pinlan's face also showed a strong sense of sarcasm, saying, "And these liars have actually been spread all over the city of Youyang. Others regard them as nothing and treat them as jokes, but Sun Zhigao treats them as treasures and supplies them as great men one by one!"

"Not only are he provided with good wine and food all day long, but he even gave out a lot of money. Even if he hadn't ruined his own property, he would still be average!"

“…”

In Pinlan's story, Sheng Changquan finally understood the specific situation of the Sun family.

It turned out that in the early years, the Sun family was also a wealthy family with great resources. Although they could not be rich, they could at least ensure a well-off life for several people and also provide for Sun Zhigao's study.

If it weren't for the good background of Sun's family, then Sun's mother, Sun Huang, wouldn't have been able to raise Sun Zhigao with her just a widow, and could also provide him with reading and writing, and passed the exam for a scholar.

Speaking of which, when Sun Zhigao was twelve years old, their Sun family's industries were no longer very good, because most of the Sun family's previous industries were land.

And over the years, Sun Zhigao's study cost a lot. If Sun Huang had not sold most of the land in his family, she would not have been able to afford Sun Zhigao's entry into school!

However, after passing the exam for the scholar, Sun Zhigao became arrogant and felt that he was a talented person with the highest talent.

No, not right!

It should be said that since then, Sun Zhigao has already thought in his heart that he himself is the future top scorer!

It seems that as soon as the time comes, he can immediately take the autumn examination, then the spring examination, and finally the palace examination. When he opens his eyes, he will be the top scholar appointed by the official family!

I don’t know how the other party’s brain circuit is formed, but he really thinks that way, and he also feels from the bottom of his heart that he is so excellent.

I don’t know if this confidence is born or is slowly developed after hearing others’ praise the day after tomorrow. In short, it is a “mysterious” tightness!

Having said that, it was precisely because of the other party's misconduct that the Sun family fell so quickly. In just one year, all the remaining Sun family property was ruined.

Therefore, after losing all the things that they can lose, the Sun family, or Sun Zhigao, finally began to face up to their future.

The reason for saying this is because, since Sun Zhi passed the college entrance examination, Sun Huang has never cared about Sun Zhigao again. He will do whatever he wants, allowing him to treat his pleasure as "making friends with noble people" and treat him as "famous in the literary world"...

In short, the confusing accounts that Sun Zhigao did were simply unsolvable!
